Chapter 29 Lost (Part 1)

Xu Ning is in a bad mood now, and he knows he is in trouble.

Since he led a 100,000 army from Fuzhou, he has been calm all the way and has arrived near the Bohai Sea about three days earlier than expected. But just when he was proud to think that everything was moving according to the plan, he suddenly encountered a storm.

This time, the general led by the navy was Sun Dong. He grew up on the Yangtze River and was very good at water. He also thought that he had seen too many so-called storms. After entering the navy, he led his team to sea many times. He felt that the sea was just like this. But when he saw this storm, he realized that he was a frog in the well and regarded the world too simply.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun was prepared for these things. Although he had never really seen how terrible the storms on the sea were before, he always read the news and knew that he had to be prepared in this regard. So he emphasized these things in the navy. Although everyone had never seen them, they were still handled properly. Moreover, this storm was not as severe as expected, so the losses were still within a controllable range. Only a small number of ships suffered losses, but none of them sank, and the personnel only suffered some minor losses.

However, there are still troubles. One of them is that the material damage is serious. At least two material ships are damp or wet, and most of them can no longer be used. The biggest trouble is that after dawn the next day, they find that they have lost their direction and don’t know where they are.

Sun Dong had no choice but to send a large number of scouts to investigate everywhere, hoping to find a place where they can dock, even if it is a good place to dock for a while. After the person was sent out, there was no news, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the news. Although Xu Ning was amazing, he was helpless about this situation, so he had to wait patiently.

Fortunately, when it was lunch, the last wave of scouts sent out came back. They finally brought good news. The mainland was about thirty miles away from here, but there was not even one person there, and they didn't know where this was.

"Let's go there first. Now there are only several ships that are seriously damaged, and Tamsui is almost gone. We should find a place to rest first. After that, we will figure out what this place is and continue the next step of action." Sun Dong found Xu Ning and told him in detail. Xu Ning had no better way, so he had to agree to this method. So the entire fleet headed in that direction, and in the afternoon he actually saw the coast.

There was a desolate land there, and even half of the figure could not be seen, but it was obvious that this place was not an island but a real continent, but everyone was confused about what place it was. Because in theory, there must be fishing villages or something on the mainland by the sea. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains and water to eat water is natural, but the appearance here is really abnormal.

After Xu Ning and the others landed, Sun Dong immediately arranged for people to start repairing the ships, and Xu Ning also took this time to send his scouts out for investigation. He really wanted to know where this place was. However, at night, the scouts came back to report one after another and found nothing. However, they found several small villages nearby, but they didn't know how long it had been abandoned, and they could not see any traces of people appearing there in a short period of time.

However, it was getting late at this time, and Xu Ning did not ask them to look for the hobby in the dark, so they all came back. The troops also installed relatively simple but effective fortifications here, and waited for tomorrow to take a look.

It started to rain again at night, and the days were about to enter summer, but it was strange that it was still biting cold and the weeds on the ground were even white, and it looked like winter had not completely melted. It was so uncomfortable in such weather. Fortunately, Zhang Shun's troops had already equipped cotton coats, and as long as they were covered with raincoats, it would not be so cold. But the problem was that such weather was really strange, which made Xu Ning think that he had really touched Liaodong, because according to the information description, Liaodong was a bitter and cold place.

There was another strong wind blowing on the sea, not as evil as yesterday, but it still stirred up waves and waves slapped on the shore and reefs. The rain in the distance hit the beach and the sea without making any more strange sounds. Instead, the weeds nearby were clattering. At first glance, it sounded like someone was marching, but the problem was that there was nothing but those sounds. Will anyone march in that weather?

Since many supplies have not been moved down, the military base here does not have ignitions or oil lamps. Most people just slept directly in the trenches. Anyway, they were all in the same environment. As long as they covered the trenches with rain cloth, they could become a simple residence. Fortunately, the soldiers of Zhang Shunjun were good at geotechnical work, and the trenches they dug could deal with many situations.

Suddenly, Xu Ning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was not old, his command experience was already very rich. At this moment, his bad premonition came from his premonition, which was a very bad feeling. "Come, tell our army to be vigilant. The situation tonight was not very correct."

"Master, do you think there is something wrong?" Jiang Da and Xu Ning had a good relationship. Originally, Zhang Shun wanted to transfer both the Jiang father and son to reorganize the new army, but Xu Ning personally kept him by his side, and now he has become Xu Ning's right-hand man.

"It's not that there is something wrong, but I feel bad today and always feel like something is going to happen."

"What can we do? We have already scouted this place during the day, and we have not found any situation, and we don't even have a personal figure."

"I know this, but I just don't think it's good. This may be because I'm nervous, but any situation may happen. After all, this is their territory, and it will be very convenient for them to hide their whereabouts."

Jiang Da thought for a while and nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll go to the front line. No matter what, there won't be any accident tonight. In this kind of ghost weather, our musket may have problems." After that, he took the people out.
