Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Your Excellency the General, our fleet will be here soon. Tonight we will launch an attack on the Western fleet behind us and wipe out these Western devils. Our Commander Zhang said that after this battle, the fleet will sail directly to Songjiang Prefecture to eliminate the threats there for you. Commander Zhang also said that your sailboat is sailing too slowly, so Your Excellency the General, please move to our flagship and observe the entire battle." Yu Qiang said.

When Mu Tingxie heard the news, he was both excited and nervous. He knew it was a rare opportunity, but at the same time he was a little worried about boarding an enemy warship. He wondered whether he should accept the invitation.

Mu Tingxi thought: "What will it be like to board that rumored ironclad ship? This is a rare opportunity to witness their powerful strength and tactics with my own eyes. However, does boarding the rebel ship mean that I will become a hostage and my personal safety cannot be guaranteed?"

After some struggle, Mu Tingxi decided to face the challenge bravely. He thought to himself: "I am here to ask for help. If I don't even dare to board the enemy's warship, how can I get their support? It's just a matter of life, I'll risk it!"

So Mu Tingxie answered firmly: "Can I bring two adjutants?"

Yu Qiang smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course."

Mu Tingxi took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts. He realized that this adventure might be a major turning point in his life. He boarded the Tiandi Army's reconnaissance boat with his two adjutants, excitedly preparing to welcome the baptism of this battle.

On the reconnaissance boat, Mu Tingyi personally experienced the shock of this ship that could sail automatically without sails. The astonishing speed completely overturned his understanding of ships and made him have a deeper respect for the strength of the Tiandi Army.

Half an hour later, the patrol boat successfully returned to the 251 flagship.

Mu Tingye finally stepped onto the ironclad ship he had dreamed of. He was so excited that he was in a panic, as if Liu Laolao had walked into the Grand View Garden.

He curiously touched here and there, and then pestered Yu to ask about that, and almost forgot the purpose of his visit. It was not until Yu urged him softly that he reluctantly followed him to the command room.

In the command room, Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Si had been waiting for a long time. After everyone entered, Staff Officer Yu stood up straight, saluted in a standard military salute, and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, Mu Tingxie, the general of the Chongming Navy, has arrived!"

Commander Chen smiled and stretched out his hands to shake hands with General Mu, saying warmly, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"

Staff Officer Yu, who was standing nearby, quickly introduced him to General Mu: "General Mu, this is Zhang Xiaolong, the commander of our Eastern Fleet."

"Hello, Commander Zhang, you are the savior of our Chongming Navy." Mu Tingye said.

"I don't deserve to be your benefactor. I am just following orders. If you want to thank someone, thank our commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief ordered us to resolve the crisis posed by Westerners to Songjiang Prefecture." Zhang Xiaolong said.

At this time, Chen Si came up, stretched out his hand to shake hands with General Mu, and said with a smile: "General Mu, I haven't seen you for many years, do you still remember me?"

Mu Tingyi turned sideways and saw Chen Si, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Chen Si, Chen Guandai, the number one of the Eight Vajra under Admiral Shi Lang."

"Deputy Commander Chen is the deputy commander of our fleet," added Staff Officer Yu.

Looking at Chen Si in his white general's uniform, Mu Tingyi was filled with emotion and said excitedly, "The court report said that you defected to the Tiandi Army. I originally thought that you surrendered after being defeated and forced to join. Now it seems that I was wrong. I would also like to join such an elite navy. Your commander-in-chief is Duke Lu Ding and Prince Consort of the Qing Dynasty. In the end, we are a family."

"Yes, I used to be in the navy, we are family." Chen Si responded.

"Yes, we are all Chinese. The Chinese are one family. The commander-in-chief often said that Chinese people do not fight against Chinese people!" said Zhang Xiaolong.

At this time, the phone on the table rang. Zhang Xiaolong picked up the phone and heard the voice of the lookout: "Report to the commander, the Chongming Navy fleet was spotted 5000 meters ahead."

"Coming? Great!" Zhang Xiaolong answered excitedly, and then issued an order: "The fleet will detour to the side of the Western fleet at the rear at one o'clock. The entire fleet will launch twelve torpedoes from the bow. All landing craft on the transport ships will be launched. The Marine Brigade will prepare to capture prisoners."

After Zhang Xiaolong put down the phone, he turned around and said to everyone, "Let's go to the cockpit to watch the show." So he led everyone out of the command room and came to the cockpit in the bow room. This is not only the cockpit, but also the operations room. It is located under the bow deck. Large pieces of glass are installed on the left, right and front, so you can clearly observe the situation outside. The helmsman sits in the center, and there are two observation co-pilot seats on both sides.

When they entered the wheelhouse, they saw the warship of the Chongming Navy appear in front of them, illuminated by the searchlight on the bow. At this time, the Eastern Fleet turned 15 degrees to the right and passed by the side of the Chongming Navy. All this made people feel tense and exciting, as if a big battle was about to come.

The ironclad ship was a behemoth of 98 meters long, 16 meters wide and 20 meters high. Compared with the Fuchuan warships of the Chongming Navy, which were at least four times smaller in length, width and height, it was like a goat passing by an elephant. When these five giant ships slowly passed by, the officers and soldiers of the Chongming Navy felt a shock that was beyond words.

Just after these five giant ships passed, strong lights suddenly shone on the Western fleet five or six kilometers behind.

The light was so bright that the entire sea surface was illuminated as if it were daytime, clearly showing the full picture of more than 30 large Western Navy sailing ships.

"Oh my God, what on earth is that?"

"Oh, God, is it Balder, the God of Light, who has come?"

"This must be a miracle. I actually witnessed a miracle with my own eyes!"

......

Many soldiers of the Western Fleet rushed onto the deck, knelt down devoutly, and worshiped and prayed to the five mysterious glowing objects in the distance.

They firmly believed that what they saw was the coming of the God of Light, but unfortunately, this was not Europe, but the land of China. Balder, the God of Light in European mythology, could not bless these invaders from the West.

There must be something fishy going on. Defrian looked at the light ahead and felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

He quickly raised the telescope and looked carefully at the light, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see clearly what was happening there.

The scene before him dazzled him, but he still couldn't make out what was going on.
