Chapter 138 Killing

In this world, there is one advantage that Li Ming is very proud of, that is technology. Li Ming firmly believes that with his own technological power, one day he will complete the great cause of dominating the world.

However, he never thought that others could also use his technology to deal with himself. The best lesson in front of him was the best lesson.

On the table in front of Li Ming, there was something that Li Ming was very familiar with. This thing was invented by Li Ming and a tool for escape in this world - a diving helmet.

When I escaped from the imperial city, I had already considered the problem of technology leakage, so everyone's helmet was wrapped in a package and brought out. Only one of them was lost outside, which was the one of the guards who were shot in the river.

At that time, the person who led the strangle and blocked them seemed to be Li Jiao. It was precisely because of his obstruction that his team of people gave up the plan of escaping on the water. In this way, the body of the guard who was shot at the beginning must have been salvaged by Li Jiao's subordinates. Seeing the helmet above the guard and seeing the guards dive out of the water, I am afraid that even a fool can understand what the helmet is for.

Suddenly, Li Ming realized something, and he immediately stood up and ordered: "Wang Tao obeys the order, and ordered you to command all the escort ships to patrol the waters around Biquan Island day and night. Be sure to find the enemy's traces as soon as possible. At the same time, pay more attention to the water conditions. Once you find a large group of bamboo tubes floating upstream of the water, it means that the enemy is under the bamboo tubes and immediately wipe out me. Wang Mengde ordered you to lead 300 subordinates and take a fast ship to search for several relatively large islands nearby. Be sure to find the traces of the enemy. According to my speculation, the enemy is likely to launch a large attack on us. It is estimated that this time is a real war, not a sneak attack. If we want to take the initiative, we must have enough intelligence."

The two of them hurriedly stood up and followed the order, then turned around and walked out. This was Li Ming who suddenly called Wang Tao: "Wait, Wang Tao, have our armored ship been launched? Contact Wang Laodao correctly. He was injured. You find him and ask him to send someone to move the generator to the armored ship, and then find Chen Fang to install the newly made searchlight. It depends on it at night patrol and combat."

Wang Tao hurriedly took the order and left. Seeing everyone's shock, Li Ming said: "This time our opponent is extraordinary. It is likely that the third prince Li Jiao. According to my news, Li Jiao has been under house arrest by the emperor and his fiefdom has been taken back. This time he may have escaped while the emperor is sick again. Li Jiao has worked hard for many years and must have many of his own underground forces. From this attack, it can be seen that so many well-trained killers are not temporary.

It can be called up, so I guess Li Jiao is bound to win here. I think he must have attracted the geographical advantages, technological advantages and wealth of Biquan Island. His idea is likely to be the same as us. He should use Biquan Island as a development base and gradually expand to the whole country. Therefore, the next battle will definitely not be easy. Cao Bao, is it possible to contact Zhao Xun, the commander of the Fenshui Island garrison, and ask him to send troops to help us eliminate Li Jiao, after all, he still has this obligation."

Cao Bao stood up and took the order and said, "As for orders, I will go there in person immediately and ask him to send a fleet to assist us."

Li Ming gently stroked his painful shoulder and sat down and said, "Due to the urgent situation, I have now announced that Biquan Island has officially entered a wartime state, all public activities have stopped, and the 15th Lantern Festival that is preparing to be held has been temporarily cancelled, saying that some of them have been changed to military control. Today, I announced that the punishment for the responsible person will be postponed, allowing you to atone for your sins in the subsequent battle."

Everyone hurriedly stood up to accept the order, and at the sign of Li Ming, they hurriedly prepared to go. After all, this was the first official preparation for the island. Although there were many generals and soldiers who had experienced many battles, people still couldn't help but be nervous.

Everyone dispersed, and Li Ming was the only one left in the wide bamboo forest pavilion. He sat there, deep in thought.

Li Ming didn't want to enter the war so quickly, but the development of things did not follow his arrangements. He has now lost the initiative and fell into a passive defense. Li Ming has always believed that he was grasping the progress of this matter, but now he realized how ridiculous his thoughts are. A person's power cannot control the entire situation.

The busy day passed quickly, and the island was now full of wind and panic. Whenever there was a turbulence, it could attract a large group of people. It seemed that people who had never experienced the war were very fragile psychologically.

In the evening, the searching troops found about a thousand diving helmets in the water along the coast. It seemed that Li Jiao spent a lot of money on this operation, which made Li Ming even more determined. With such a large-scale temptation, the subsequent battle would definitely be very fierce.

So, Li Ming stayed in his base car all night, driving the power of the vehicle-mounted radar to the maximum to prevent the enemy from attacking at night again. However, if the enemy came down from the water again this time, it would be useless even if Li Ming had advanced radar.

The two nervous days passed again, and the intelligence personnel who had sent Li Ming returned one after another, saying that no trace of the enemy was found on islands of all sizes within a radius of hundreds of miles. Moreover, there was no shadow of a ship on the water surface of the entire Mid-Shan Lake, which made Li Ming and the others feel the seriousness of the matter.

Sitting on the armored ship, Li Ming drove the ship through the lake himself, and the huge roar of the steam turbine was heard from afar. Compared to the narrow hull, the power of the first generation steam turbine developed by Li Ming seemed a bit too high. At this moment, with the boiler's full effort, the armored ship was leaping through the water surface like thick black smoke and sprinting forward.

Suddenly, the lookout hand was shouted anxiously from the high lookout hanger: "Report! I found the fleet ahead and was driving towards this side."

There was a slight tension on the iron armored ship. After all, in this tense situation, any unknown ship would arouse suspicion. Moreover, according to the report of the Lookout, there was more than one ship on the other side. Since the reporter, there was only such a small armored ship that had not undergone any actual combat. Although it was super fast, there were only fifteen people on the ship, and there were not even long-range attacks such as bows, arrows, and stones. How did they fight? Wang Tao was full of trust in Li Ming, and he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

Li Ming felt an excitement. The beautiful Biquan Island was attacked for no reason, and so many innocent civilians were sacrificed. He could not find the enemy these days, which made him very upset. Otherwise, he would not have dragged his injured body and drove out in person despite the persuasion of everyone. Although the magical method of Yi Jinjing to use his wounds quickly healed, it was not so magical that he could completely heal in just two or three days. At this moment, his wound was still pounding and painful. He was not so nervous that he was about to go crazy that he would not come out to suffer this. Now he finally discovered the person. Although it was not certain that he must be an enemy, intuition, he should not be wrong this time. The depression that had been accumulated in his heart for many days can finally be vented. With his iron armored ship, what else can he resist on the water?

So, in the cab, he immediately issued a battle order: "Everyone is ready to fight! Close all windows, close the deck ceiling, and turn the watchman into the cabin immediately after the enemy approaches." When he was originally designed, Li Ming was ready to use the entire ship as a torpedo. Therefore, the shape of the ship is very abnormal, like a modern stealth warship. The ship adopts a fully enclosed design. The entire ship is wrapped in steel plates, but there are only a few special pieces placed in the front of the cab.

The three-layer tempered glass made of three-layer tempered glass is usually located on the top of the cabin and can be used as an open-air deck. During combat, the deck ceiling is closed, making the entire ship a seamless whole. Moreover, the sides of the ship are tilted, and people cannot stand except the ceiling. In this way, even if enemies jump onto the ship, they cannot find their opponents to fight. With such thick armor, they still have to fight with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. This is the stupidest thing in Li Ming's opinion, and he will never do it.

After issuing the order to fight, Li Ming shook his shoulder, which was still hurting, and adjusted the steering wheel to drive the warship and rushed towards the direction where he discovered the ship. At this time, he only hoped that the opponent would be the enemy so that he could vent his heart quickly.

The fleet in front was getting closer and closer. Gradually, Li Ming in the cab discovered that it was a large group of military ships chasing a fast ship that was desperately escaping in front. This clutch was very impressive in Li Ming's impression, that was the ship that Wang Dong often drove the robbery. The person who was leading the oar on the ship seemed to be Wang Dong's subordinates, and there seemed to be a few people covered in blood lying in the cabin.

It was indeed the enemy! Li Ming was so excited that he was a little trembling. The people seemed to be a team sent out to investigate. They might have encountered the enemy halfway, but were chased here. Li Ming shouted loudly and ordered: "Boiler hand, burn the fire to me, I want to teach these bastards a lesson! Everyone should pay attention, pull the handles beside you and prepare for the impact!" As he spoke, the armored warship made a rumble roar, and passed the fast ship in front and rushed straight towards the huge military ship that was most comprehensive.

All the enemies chasing were shocked. None of them knew what was the roar in front of them that was ridiculously fast. Is it a ship? These people were all naval elites who had been through many battles. What kind of ships had never been seen? How could this thing in front of them be called a ship? Moreover, seeing his appearance seemed to die with the largest "Zhenwu" command ship, which was rushing in front, made them feel a little funny. The "Zhenwu" command ship is the largest and fastest among the entire Tang Dynasty navy.

The most powerful super warship is no more than five ships in the Tang Dynasty. The hull is made of iron wood, which is made of Nandian Mansion's specialty. It is extremely hard and expensive. The entire ship has three floors, with a total of 300 combat team members, 200 archers and 50 ship drivers. It is known as an invincible warship. Therefore, they do not think that the inconspicuous little monster in front of them can make the pride of this navy, but it is too different in size. The crooked ship in front of them is only one-third of the height of the "Zhenwu" ship. If you want to hit it, the boat will not be crushed to pieces.

Looking at the huge hull that was getting more and more energetic, Li Ming was also a little nervous. He didn't expect that the ship in front of him was so big! This made him unsure, but it was too late to hide now. In a blink of an eye, the two ships were about to collide head-on. Li Ming hurriedly held the steering wheel tightly with the uninjured hand. The other injured hand took the time to pull the safety rope tied to the chair. Everyone said, "Get it right! Collision!"

A deafening sound suddenly broke out at the moment when the two ships collided. The ironclad ship's long and sharp collision angle first inserted into the opposite "Zhenwu" ship from the water underground. Then, driven by the huge energy of the steam turbine, the ironclad ship was like a sharp axe, and its sharp bow split the side of the "Zhenwu" ship, and like a swim rapidly, it drilled into the belly of the "Zhenwu" ship.

The "Zhenwu" ship shook violently, shaking the people who were preparing to fight on the deck, and in a blink of an eye, they were penetrated by the iron armored ship. The huge keel made of iron wood was smashed into pieces by the iron armored ship in a blink of an eye. As the iron armored ship penetrated from the side of the stern, the huge "Zhenwu" ship's body shattered and sank rapidly to the bottom of the lake as if it had been dispersed.

This moment happened too quickly and too suddenly. In an instant, the pride of the Tang Dynasty naval army turned into pieces of broken wood floating on the water and wreckage that sank to the bottom of the lake. It was too fast. None of the more than 600 members on the ship could react, and in a blink of an eye it became a wandering soul at the bottom of the water.

All this was terrible. The iron-clad ship in front of him was synonymous with evil spirits in the eyes of these pursuing naval forces. Is it humans who destroyed a "Zhenwu" ship in an instant? It was absolutely impossible! Just as everyone on the surviving ship next to him had just woken up from the shock. When this idea came to their minds, Li Ming drove the iron-clad ship with an unstoppable force and had passed through the three large warships behind the "Zhenwu". At this moment, he was making a big turn on the lake, intending to turn back and annihilate other ships.

The annihilation of "Zhenwu" made Li Ming full of confidence at this moment, and at the same time he also bought the pleasure of killing and revenge. He had never thought before that hatred could be such a cruel person that he could not control his behavior at this time. In the past, he hated killing the most, let alone he took action himself. But now, in the blink of an eye, the people on the ship sank into the bottom of the water forever with their crazy collisions. The few surviving people struggled to escape behind their ships. Not only did he not feel any guilt or unbearable, he became even more excited. The depression that he suppressed in his heart for many days was also wiped out. Could it be that human nature is so cruel?

He ignored his psychological changes at all. At this moment, Li Ming was purely a war machine. In his heart, he just wanted to turn the boat around as soon as possible and send them all into the bottom of the lake one by one to avenge the innocent civilians who died on Biquan Island.

Seeing this monster emitting black smoke passing a large circle on the water, turning the bow of the ship and rushing towards them again, the surviving ships began to panic. Since even the "Zhenwu" is so vulnerable, how can these ordinary warships help their opponents? So, the remaining dozen warships turned the bow one by one, retreated their sails, and eagerly wanted to turn back and escape.

However, the power of technology won in this battle. How could a sailboat powered by wind be the opponent of the mechanically powered ironclad ship in speed? While the boiler hand was adding fuel frantically, Li Ming drove the ironclad ship to follow the dozen wooden ships, using his long horns, just like a cruel cat playing with a group of rats, one by one, driving the ship behind them one by one, and driving the warships around them to show off their power, until they were full of sank to the bottom of the lake.

Gradually, more than a dozen tall warships on the water surface disappeared forever, leaving only sailors who were escaping from the wrecked ship still struggling hard. Their faces were filled with despair, and they looked at the iron-clad ships in fear, wondering what their fate would be.

The impulsive flame in Li Ming's mind slowly extinguished at this moment, and his violent and chaotic mood slowly calmed down. Could this be the satisfaction after the killing? Li Ming didn't know, but this feeling, this feeling of pleasure remaining in his heart, made him feel chill all over his body. Could it be that his council would become a madman who was addicted to the pleasure of killing?

Seeing him not saying anything for a long time, Wang Tao next to him couldn't help but remind: "Master, should we look at the wounded on the ship? In addition, what should we do if these soldiers in the water do? Should we send people to tell them to rescue them, or let them die for themselves?"

Li Ming was awakened. He glanced at the dense sailors on the water, and then at the speedboat that was parked in the distance and was reluctant to come. For a moment, he was a little confused. Once the killing intention just now disappeared, he became the original Li Ming again.

After thinking about it, he decided to take a look at the situation on the ship first, so an order came from him again: "Open the deck roof and prepare to approach the fast ship, boiler hand, and light the fire slowly."

Li Ming drove an iron-armored ship and approached the speedboat. Gradually, the man lying in the speedboat appeared in Li Ming's eyes, which made him startled and blurted out: "Cao Bao? How could he be here?"

He hurriedly broke the ironclad ship, Li Ming jumped onto the speedboat, ignoring the sailor's greetings and greetings, he stepped to Cao Bao and helped him up, looked at his scars and asked the sailor next to him, "What's going on? Why is he injured? Tell me in detail!"

"Report to the lord." The sailor said excitedly: "We sent General Cao to Fenshui Island two days ago. After docking, General Cao asked us to row the boat to other places and not let us stay at the pier. We asked us to wait for him at the pier one day. Then he just brought two guards to the shore. However, when we were about to dock early yesterday morning, we found that the island was very cautious. At that time, our leader was careful and did not dare to go ashore there. Instead, he rowed the boat to a small island not far away, and then sent a few brothers to swim in the water and to Fenshui Island in a remote place. Our brothers were on the lake all year round, so this kind of water is still there."

After getting ashore, the brothers inquired from many sources, but there was still no General Cao's whereabouts. Considering that the general was working on the island, he might have gone to the barracks, so they broke into the barracks with great difficulty. You may not know that because of years of evading the pursuit of officers and soldiers, we were forced to install our own inside lines in the officers and soldiers on the island. This time, these inside lines finally played their role. According to their investigation, General Cao had been thrown into the prison of the barracks, although

Although we didn't know why, but we still had to save the people. So, in the middle of the night, more than 30 of us sneaked into the military camp. With the help of the inside, we successfully said that General Cao was rescued, but he was discovered when he left the dock. Although we were riding in a fast ship, this kind of ship was suitable for short-distance fast movement. After all, he had no sails and could not beat sailing ships if he had been for a long time. In this way, they kept chasing here. If it wasn't for the lord's rescue, they might have been caught up with them."

After hearing his words, Li Ming was moved. Fenshui Island was the territory of King Kang. Under normal circumstances, the garrison on the island also had to obey King Kang's command. Cao Bao was the commander of King Kang's imperial guards. Although he was not as close to King Kang, Zhao Xun should have obeyed Cao Bao's orders according to his closeness to King Kang. But now, Zhao Xun actually dared to imprison Cao Bao in the military camp. Isn't he afraid that King Kang will come back to settle the score with him? Judging from Zhao Xun's exquisite personality and character, this is absolutely impossible. However, the impossible thing happened like this. If Zhao Xun dared to do this, he must have his own reasons. It is obvious that no matter what the reason is, it is very unfavorable to Li Ming. At least, he has lost the most powerful reinforcements of Fenshui Island now.

After carefully checking Cao Bao, Li Ming found that there was nothing else except that he lost too much blood and was unconscious. He then let go of his nervous heart, carried Cao Bao to the iron armored ship, started at full speed, and headed towards Biquan Island.
