Chapter 116

Zhang Shun led the water ghost troops towards Huang Zu's fleet.

When parking a ship at night, especially a warship, some of the ships must be ignited while others are not.Why do you do that?In fact, it is fear of sneak attack.

Lighting a fire at night is to expose the target. This truth is not only understood by modern people, but also by ancient people.Therefore, only fishing boats will light their lamps, and warships often do not.

A large number of warships do not light up, and only the patrol boats at a certain distance from the warships will light up. This can not only observe whether anyone is approaching, but also prevent the enemy from discovering the warships.

The same was true for Huang Zu. His warships also implemented blackout, and only a few patrol boats around them lit their lights.

Zhang Shun led people around the training ground and discovered the problem.Those who are not familiar with water warfare will definitely be fooled by the training ship, and they will be discovered just by attacking the patrol ship.

But Zhang Shun was different. He let the water ghosts stay far away, and he relied on his good water quality to observe closely.Finally, from the route of the patrol boat, they guessed where Huang Zu's warship was berthed.

When they came back to call Shangshuigui, Zhang Shun led them to sneak past the patrol boat's route and directly touched the location of the warship.

Huang Zu dispatched more than 100 large and small warships this time, occupying a large area on the water, as long as he touches the vicinity, he can easily find it.

Because under the eyes of the enemy, Zhang Shun did not speak, but gently waved his arm three times to inform all the water ghosts that they only had three cups of tea, which was a quarter of an hour.

For this quarter of an hour, according to the previous schedule, the big boat was first drilled, and then the small boat was drilled.

The water ghosts dispersed, Zhang Shun also dived into the battleship group, found a big ship, dived to the bottom, took out a hammer and chisel, and chiseled at the seams of the ship's planks.

At this time, large ships were all made of wood, and they were square in shape. The bottom of the ship was flat, and the connecting boards were slotted. As long as the slot part of a board was cut out, one end of the board could be damaged, making it difficult to repair in the water. .

The wounds dug out in this way had very little leakage at the beginning, and it was impossible to detect it at all.But as time goes on, or the boat moves, the water pressure will increase, and the hole will become bigger and bigger, until finally the planks will be thrown out.

If it is discovered at the beginning, it may be blocked with cement.But if it is discovered late, it will be difficult to block it.

Chiseling off one, Zhang Shun immediately dived to another big ship.Digging a boat is also a laborious job. It takes a lot of work underwater. It takes half a cup of tea to chisel a boat. Three cups of tea can only chisel four or five boats at most.

Zhang Shun has good water skills, great underwater strength, and he swims fast. He can smash through six boats with three cups of tea.

But this also reached his limit, Zhang Shun immediately swam out.

Halfway through the swim, I heard someone shouting from among the boats: "The enemy is attacking, there are water ghosts chiseling the boat!"

The shouts spread far and wide through the night, alarming many Huang Zu navy.Huang Zu's soldiers all woke up with a start. They lit fires and lamps one after another to check whether their ships were leaking.

Zhang Shun froze in the water, the scheduled time hadn't arrived yet, there must be some brothers still alive.He immediately swam towards a small boat, where Huang Zu's water army was checking his boat.

Zhang Shun suddenly jumped out of the water, grabbed the side of the boat with one hand, and grabbed a Huangzu sailor with the other hand, pulled him underwater, then dived to the bottom, stabbed his throat with a chisel, held it firmly, and waited. After he stopped moving, he was pressed to the bottom of the water.

Zhang Shun floated up again, jumped directly to the bottom of the boat, and then shook, shaking all the sailors on the boat.

"Ah-"

Huang Zu's water army screamed in fright, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding warships.

"There are enemies, there are enemies here!" Huang Zu's water army immediately greeted their companions, and then shot arrows around the warship.

"Don't shoot arrows, you have your own people!" Huang Zu's water army swaying on the warship shouted in fright, a few arrows almost missed them just now.

Seeing that Zhang Shun had attracted the attention of some of the warships, he stopped moving immediately and dived down several warships, took a breath under another warship, and then dived out.

When Zhang Shunqian arrived at the reed marsh, he found that many water ghosts had returned, so he asked, "How many brothers have not returned?"

"There are more than 30 people!"

Zhang Shun narrowed his eyes, and glanced at Huang Zu's warships, "Wait another quarter of an hour, and we'll go back."

After a while, several water ghosts came back.When the time limit of fifteen minutes was up, there were still more than a dozen water ghosts who hadn't come back. Zhang Shun angrily smashed the surface of the water, "Let's go!"

It is the turn of winter and autumn. Although Poyang Lake is located in the south, the water temperature is still very cold.Zhang Shun couldn't let these water ghost brothers soak in the water waiting for someone, no matter how long it took, they would be exhausted.

Back on the boat, Zhang Shun made him wait for another quarter of an hour, taking advantage of this time to clean the water on their bodies and wrap them in blankets.These blankets are made of wool obtained by Zhang Yi from the few sheep under his control, and they are very warm.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, none of the water ghosts came back. Zhang Shun knew that they would never come back.

On the other side, Huang Zu was furious. Of the more than 100 warships, more than 90 were missed, and the rest were also damaged.

After a night of remediation, more than 80 ships were successfully returned, but there are still 80 ships that need to be sunk.Moreover, more than half of the more than [-] rescued ships need to be returned to the dock for repairs. How can this not make Huang Zu angry?
"First fish them out for me, and then we return to Chaisangkou!" Huang Zu ordered: "As for those corpses of water ghosts, let them feed the fish!"

After Huang Zu salvaged the people and corpses that fell into the water, seeing hundreds of corpses and more than ten corpses of water ghosts floating in the lake, Huang Zu's face became even more angry.

But he held it back, and it would be useless for him to get angry at this time, because the navy army was now at a point where they had to leave.

Huang Zu wanted to retreat, but Zhang Shun didn't want him to retreat.Zhang Shun followed Huang Zu with the stern, and then kept attacking him to prevent him from going too smoothly.

Huang Zu was very helpless for Zhang Shun's harassment, he wanted to make people break off, if there was too much, he would not be able to go far, and if there was too little, it would not be enough for Zhang Shun's teeth.

I don't know how Zhang Yi built so many big ships. These warships are even bigger than his own.Where did he find the shipwright?
What Huang Zu was suspicious of was exactly what Zhou Yu was suspicious of. Zhou Yu had often fought against Gan Ning during this time, but every time he was defeated by the opponent's big boat. It was consumed.

"Where did he find the shipbuilder? He can build such a big ship."
