Chapter 603

A bird without wings was transported. The broad bird body was covered with thick wooden boards, which looked very eye-catching.

The sailors who helped transport the goods pointed at the birds curiously. The catapult can scare the British. What's the use of this thing on board.

On the dock, there are sergeants hurrying and shouting everywhere, unloading, handling and fixing, and there are busy crowds everywhere.

Su Ping grabbed Lu Zhonglian from the boat and smiled bitterly:

"Lord Lu, what kind of trouble did you make? It's just a crossbow. It's a sharp weapon to break the array, whether it's fighting or guarding the city, but the bird that doesn't eat wings can't fly when it gets on the boat."

Lu Zhonglian's eyes tilted and his face looked unhappy:

"Governor Shuai's words are wrong. What does it mean that you can't fly? If you say it can't fall, I can still hear it. If it can't fly, you'll underestimate the Lord."

Pointing to the birds moving towards the ship, Lu Zhonglian lowered his voice and said:

"This is the improvement put forward by the governor. It's really a wonderful idea, which can't be done by capable people."

Su Ping was a little surprised. This was put forward by the second brother. Can these broken pieces of wood fly out? It doesn't look good.

Lu Zhonglian yelled at a craftsman with a wooden box in the distance, and then said to Su Ping:

"The test flight has been completed. The catapults are all newly transformed new catapults. They are just to deal with the sea battle off Wangjiang river. Although we can't beat Yingte, we can't be weak in momentum."

When Lu Zhonglian finished, he angrily grabbed the wooden box in the young craftsman's hand and stepped onto the bucket ship leaning against the wharf. There, a large group of craftsmen were fixing the crossbow and sorting out the wooden platform for the birds.

On the dock, there was a hot scene.

Su Ping looked at the only fighting ship in the port, gritted his teeth, and ordered the soldiers nearby to say:

"Go, get ready and send hot soup and hot rice to the people in the ordnance mansion. They will transform the battle ship for us. We can't make people hungry, can we?"

The soldiers answered.

Su Ping stood on the shore and looked at the rolling battle ships on the shore. His eyes were full of excitement. This was the first big ship in our family. Unfortunately, it was only this one. If only there were ten or eight.

"Plop"

A craftsman fell from the side of the ship, fell into the water and splashed a large spray.

Su Ping took a few quick steps and plunged into the water. In recent years, Su Ping has been in charge of Wangjiang. Not only has the level of unifying the army increased, but also the water quality has improved greatly.

Soon, more sailors jumped into the water and rescued the craftsmen who fell into the water.

Su Ping wiped the sea water on her face, shivered with cold, and ordered the close followers on the shore.

"Go and get more ginger soup. Hurry up."

The two soldiers flew away.

Lu Zhonglian threw a robe to Su Ping and said:

"Put it on. Don't freeze it."

Su Ping draped his robe over the craftsman who had just taken off his wet clothes, and commanded the navy soldiers next to him:

"All those who are soaked in clothes, go back to the camp and change their clothes. If you are sick and can't get on the ship and miss the war, don't blame me for not showing mercy."

"Change your clothes, change your clothes."

Several generals also came to shout at their sergeants and hurried them to change their clothes.

Soon, the hot ginger soup was sent. Some soldiers were smart. They also sent more than a dozen blankets to Su Ping.

Su Ping wrapped a blanket and ordered his soldiers to wrap the wet craftsmen. The sea breeze in the port was heavy. Several craftsmen wet their clothes when saving people just now, but refused to go. If the wind blows again, they will be ill.

The craftsmen worked in full swing. The transformation, which originally took more than half a month, was completed in only six days.

Su Ping and Lu Zhonglian were standing at the bow of the ship, following the inspection of the reconstructed hull. Eight more crossbows were added, all fixed in the center of class A and fastened with wooden stakes. They looked quite strong.

The position of the bird was fixed at the stern of the ship and covered with a wide canvas. Several bird soldiers were telling several sailors what to pay attention to when taking off and setting down.

After checking the ship, Su Ping and Lu Zhonglian got off the ship, followed by a large group of Navy captains and craftsman officials from the ordnance mansion.

Su Ping looked a little bad. Although he had no expectations for the transformation, he was not satisfied with the actual transformation.

"Lord Lu, can we fight against the fighting ships of the British after our transformation?"

"Newspaper"

A herald came from a flying horse outside the port. When he got close, he turned over and dismounted, and was carried by two soldiers.

The herald saluted Su Ping with his fist and said out of breath:

"It's reported, commander-in-chief, that there is news from the top of the East pole. There is an English fighting ship team, two fighting ships and 12 small ships in the southeast of our port. They are speeding up the interception of Chinese cargo ships."

"Cargo ship?"

Su Ping frowned. It was not easy to intercept trading ships on the sea, so the navigation between Luojiang and Qingjiang was not prohibited. Unexpectedly, the British came close to the port again.

"Order Dongji mountain to launch catapults to deter the British fleet."

The deputy general next to him reminded him, "commander, the catapult of Dongji mountain can only cover the port. It can't be hit ten miles out of the port. The British have long known the range of our catapult."

"Then set out on a large ship to protect the civilian ships of our Han country."

Su Ping said angrily and turned around to walk to the bucket ship.

"All the sailors have it. Listen to my orders, board the ship and prepare for battle."

"Little grasshopper, send twelve."

"Xiaojiang fish, send out 16 ships."

"Other ships of different sizes are on standby at the port and ready to sail at any time."

Su Ping said, already standing on the fighting ship, with a firm face.

"The ship hasn't been named yet. I'll do it on my own this time. I'll name the ship before the king and his majesty."

"Wangjiang, this ship is called Wangjiang."

"If you sink outside the port today, you don't have to save me. Stick to the port and keep our efforts. Write to your majesty, tell me about my mistakes and use my head to get the forgiveness of the British people."

Standing on the side of the ship, Su Ping said with a firm face. Around her body, there was a ship boarding Navy with flying steps.

The deputy general grabbed Su Ping and roared at the top of his voice:

"Dushuai, I'll go. Wangjiang can't sit in town without you. I'll fight the first battle. Wangjiang is here, and I'm here."

Su Ping pushed the deputy general back and ordered the soldiers around him.

"Shao Cheng, Ning Yuanzhi, take your soldiers and protect Vice Marshal Liu from stepping on the Wangjiang."

"Give my orders and set sail."

Su Ping drove away the deputy general and yelled at his Sergeant hoarsely.

The huge iron anchor was taken back, and the ship moved slowly, leaving the shore and heading out of the port.

Su Ping held the ship's side, looked at the catapults piled up in class A, and ordered the soldiers nearby to say:

"Don't follow me. Someone who can open a crossbow, go up and fuck me."

"Pass on my military order. The bird soldiers are ready. As soon as they meet the enemy, they will take off immediately and beat his mother hard."
