Portable Space Can be Summoned

At this time, Xu Fan in the Hudong County camp did not know that his exploration boat on the lake had been almost cleaned up by the angry dragon army.

Xu Fan's rule for exploring ships is to return to a stronghold every six hours to deliver news to the camp.

These strongholds are basically set up scattered on small islands on the lake.

The largest of these islands are more than ten miles in radius, while the smaller ones are less than one mile.

It's okay to hide a note on it.

People who don't know would never think that there would be information about Shunjun on these small islands. Even if they knew, it would be difficult to find a note from it.

The six-hour contact schedule is a bit tight for the scouts who go to conduct distant reconnaissance, but it is a bit generous for the explorers who conduct close reconnaissance.

But this is the most appropriate time interval for Xu Fan considering all things considered.

Even though six hours is a long time, you may not be able to encounter the enemy in six hours while rowing a boat on Dongting Lake.

If you are lucky, you can encounter a few boats, but if you are not lucky, you can only fish in the lake.

The Nu Jiao Army could arrive at Hudong County in less than six hours.

Maybe Xu Fan doesn't have to make a choice, he can just be a fool.

Zheng He stood on the bow of the flagship of the Nu Jiao Army, looking at the calm lake surface, and suddenly sighed: "This ship is still a little small. If we can build the Qing Jiao as our flagship, our Nu Jiao Only then can the army truly have a solid foundation."

The Qingjiao was Zheng He's previous flagship, and it was also the most advanced ship blueprint that came with the opening of the naval barracks.

The ship construction drawings attached to the navy barracks have four levels in total, and the Qingjiao is the fourth level battleship.

The complete Qingjiao is thirty feet long, ten feet wide, and has two decks. It is a giant ship in the rivers and lakes.

Ordinary warships were like ordinary fishing boats in front of the Qingjiao. One shot at a time, they were all sunk.

Now the two flagships of the Nu Jiao Army are only second-level warships, which are more powerful than ordinary warships, but their strength is limited.

There is no way, the naval barracks have not been opened for long, and the shipyard has not yet been able to build a fourth-level battleship. It is building a third-level battleship to accumulate experience.

"Be patient, with His Majesty here, we will be able to build the Qingjiao in no time!"

Zheng He suppressed the nostalgia for the Qingjiao in his heart and wanted the court to spend more resources on building warships. Today's battle was crucial.

The ministers have to see the strength of the Nu Jiao Army before they are willing to invest resources!

Two hours passed.

The Nu Jiao Army has entered Hudong County and is less than forty miles away from Xu Fan's camp. They will surely arrive within two hours.

At this time, Xu Fan in the camp had already noticed.

It's normal for the exploration ships that went to distant places not to come back, but it's a bit abnormal that the exploration ships around the camp didn't come back either.

Xu Fan didn't think that hiding in Hudong County would necessarily be safe. The number of exploration ships surrounding the camp was no less than that sent out to look for dry army grain transport fleets.

These exploration ships have to return to camp almost every hour to report intelligence. Regardless of whether they have discovered the enemy or not, returning to camp safely is the most important information.

It has been more than half an hour now, and some exploration ships have not returned to camp.

The guard of the camp immediately reported the matter to Xu Fan.

"General, what should we do now?"

Xu Fan was also hesitant. He had two choices at this time. One was to withdraw from the camp immediately. Regardless of whether the dry army came to visit him or not, he had to ensure the safety of the navy first.

The second is not to abandon the main camp, but to send more exploration ships to figure out the situation before deciding what to do.

Even if Qian's army really attacks, he can still hold on to the camp.

His naval forces were all trained from the infantry. Their fighting on the water could only be regarded as average, but their ability to defend the city was quite good.

As long as the number of troops from Qianjun does not exceed 15,000, Xu Fan is confident that he can hold the camp.

But once surrounded by Gan's army, his navy would have no chance to go to the lake.

There is no longer the ability to threaten military grain transport ships.

It's better to go directly to Nanhu County to help Liu Shuai resist the Qian army!

Xu Fan quickly made a decision to withdraw!

Let's ignore the camp for now. If there is an attack by the Qian army, we will have to reluctantly abandon it.

If not many cadres are found, they can still be snatched back when the time comes.

As long as people are still there, everything is possible!

Xu Fan said to the general in front of him: "Let everyone get on the boat immediately and leave the camp!"

As he said that, he took the lead out of the camp. His flagship had to be the first to leave the camp in order to lead the other warships to leave quickly.

A fleet without a flagship is like a pack of wolves without a leader, reducing its combat effectiveness by 70% and easily causing internal chaos.

There are also some documents belonging to Xu Fan's department in the camp. Xu Fan's guards will burn them all before boarding the ship.

Soon, all Xu Fan's soldiers boarded the ship, and dozens of warships disappeared into Shuishui Mountain.

Soon, Zheng He also learned the news.

"Okay, he is indeed the person who brought such big trouble to Shenwuwei. He is very decisive."

"Sinking in the river."

"The end will be here."

Shen He stood up from behind Zheng He.

"Take a few ships and continue to the Shunjun camp. Be careful not to get ambushed."

Although this possibility was very small, Zheng He still did not want to see his men lose their lives due to negligence.

Chen He bowed and listened to the order, "General, I will understand!"

After saying that, Shen He took a small boat to the warship next to him and led the four ships to leave the fleet together.

Zheng He led the main force of the fleet to stop temporarily. He had to find Xu Fan's main force before catching up.

No matter which direction Xu Fan fled, the location of the angry dragon army was the most suitable for pursuit.

Therefore, Zheng He did not move his position easily, but waited for news from Xu Fan's department.

The scouts from the scout battalion and the Nu Jiao Army all left the fleet in small boats. Their mission was no longer to clear out Xu Fan's exploration ships, but to find Xu Fan's main force.

Xu Fan's exploration ship also changed its mission at this time. Before, they tried every means to break through the blockade of the Nu Jiao Army and send the news back to the camp. Now they have turned to intercepting the Nu Jiao Army's exploration ship and preventing them from approaching the main ship. Team.

The exploration ships of both sides seemed to have turned around, but the conflict between them was still as fierce.

Every time the two sides encountered each other, it went straight to the climax, with soldiers from both sides trying to kill each other with red eyes.

There was no way to ease the conflict. One party wanted to rush over and the other tried desperately to stop it.

How is it possible to de-escalate?

Soon, the fighting on the eastern waters of Dongting Lake went into hiding.

Although the number of ships and troops involved in a single battle is very limited, the frequency of outbreaks cannot be tolerated.

Generally speaking, both sides suffered losses, but Xu Fan's exploration ship suffered greater losses.

Whether it is in terms of the number of warships or the quality of its warriors, the Raging Dragon Army has an absolute advantage.

In a short period of time, Xu Fan's exploration ships could fight against the angry dragon army, but as time went by, they were quickly defeated.

"Chasing, they must know where the main force of Shun Army is."

The exploration ships of the Nu Jiao Army followed the retreating exploration ships of Xu Fan, but most of them found nothing.

Xu Fan's expedition team knew that it could not withdraw the main force of the fleet. Wouldn't it be like leading the way?

Even if you can't escape in the end, dying on Dongting Lake will not lead the danger to the main force!

But after all, not everyone can face death calmly, and some exploration ships still move closer to the main fleet.

Xu Fan really can't run away this time!
