Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 737

"Besides, with his abilities, I don't think the Japanese pirates would be able to easily kill him. We might as well wait and see."

Although for some unspeakable reasons, Zhu Chong had a lot of dissatisfaction and rejection towards Wei Wu in his heart.

But he had to admit one thing in his heart, that is, he admired Wei Wu very much, first of all because of his endless tricks.

The second is courage. He even dared to take action against him, a prince. He couldn't think of anything else that Wei Wu would not dare to do.

After hearing what Zhu Chong said, Lan Yu didn't say anything, but still nodded in response.

Not long after, the messenger brought the leading soldier who had blocked Wei Wu to Lan Yu.

Pfft!

As soon as he approached, the leading soldier knelt down and said:

"I am incompetent and failed to stop the Marquis of Changle. I have disobeyed military orders. Please punish me, General!"

Looking at the man kneeling in front of him, Lan Yu snorted coldly and said:

"Is it that I can't stop it, or I just don't want to stop it at all!"

He was actually Lan Yu's confidant, and knew what happened last night. He also knew that Wei Wu could deal with the Japanese pirates' artillery.

So when the leading soldier heard this question, he immediately knew that Lan Yu had misunderstood him, so he quickly began to explain.

"Reporting to the General, we really can't stop it. The brothers even used their weapons, but there's no way they can stop that monster!"

Hearing the soldier's answer, a hint of doubt flashed in Lan Yu's eyes, and then he immediately asked.

"You mean monster? What monster?"

After Lan Yu finished speaking, the leading soldier recalled it in his mind before speaking:

"I don't know what kind of monster that is. It feels like a sedan chair, and it can hold people inside."

"I saw with my own eyes that only the head of the Marquis of Changle emerged from inside, and this monster was made entirely of steel."

"My brothers and I couldn't even leave a mark on it with our swords and axes, and this monster can even move on its own."

"Later we used chevaux de frise to block it, but it just ran over it, turning the chevaux de frise into wooden debris."

At first, Lan Yu was listening very carefully, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and his face darkened.

Looking at the leading soldier who was about to continue speaking, Lan Yu shouted loudly on the spot.

"You're talking nonsense! Not only did you disobey military orders and let Marquis Changle go without your permission, but you even fabricated lies to deceive me!"

"Someone, take him away..."

Lan Yu wanted to deal with it directly according to military regulations, but he was interrupted by a voice before he could finish his words.

"Wait a minute, General Lan Yu, everything this brother said is true, he didn't make up any lies to deceive you!"

Being suddenly interrupted, Lan Yu's temper immediately flared up and he turned around and glared at the man.

He wanted to see who was so blind as to interrupt him when he was about to issue a military order.

But when he saw that the person who spoke was the guard beside Wei Wu, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated.

At this time, Wei Ba had also walked up to Lan Yu. He first bowed and then continued:

"General Lan Yu, the monster this brother is talking about is actually my young master's tank, and it is indeed made of steel."

"They tried their best to stop it, but unfortunately, even the Japanese artillery couldn't damage the tanks at all."

Seeing the leading soldier about to be punished, and hearing Wei Ba explain for him, he couldn't help but feel extremely grateful to him.

After listening to Wei Ba's explanation, Lan Yu realized that he had misunderstood his subordinates, but he was a general after all.

It was impossible to apologize to his subordinate in front of so many people, so after a moment of silence he said:

"Although you didn't lie, you still failed to stop the Marquis of Changle. However, I appreciate your dedication and diligence in carrying out the mission."

"Plus, since a major war is imminent, I will punish you with twenty military sticks as a warning to others. The punishment will be carried out after the battle!"

As Lan Yu's confidant, he knew from the tone of his voice that the twenty military sticks were just a show and no real harm would be done.

So after Lan Yu finished speaking, he immediately admitted his guilt, and the matter was over.

After dealing with his men, Lan Yu turned to look at Wei Ba.

"Marquis Changle sent you to find me, but do you have something to bring me?"

"That's right!"

Wei Ba nodded, and then told the purpose of his visit.

"My young master asked me to bring a message to the general. He said he hopes General Lan Yu can stabilize the army and not start a war with the Japanese pirates first."

"Young Master has a way to deal with the Japanese pirates' artillery. Once he sends the signal, the general can lead his army to capture Hidaka Castle in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, Wei Ba took something out of his arms and handed it to Lan Yu. After doing this, he turned around and strode away.

Lan Yu looked at the thing in his hand, then looked at Wei Ba who was gradually walking away, and asked quickly.

"Your young master told me to wait for his signal, but why don't you tell me clearly what the signal is!"

"Young Master said that the general will know when the time comes!"

Hearing the voice coming from afar, Lan Yu wanted to ask something, but Wei Ba was no longer in sight.

Looking at the direction where Wei Ba disappeared, Lan Yu weighed the thing in his hand and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Just say no to what the signal is. Why do you have to keep it so mysterious? You are just looking for trouble!

In fact, what Lan Yu didn’t know was that it wasn’t Wei Wu who was looking for trouble, but a misunderstanding caused by Wei Ba.

Wei Wu only asked Wei Ba to come and pass on the message, but Wei Ba thought it was too direct and could not show off the young master's power.

That's why he deliberately made it a bit mysterious. Anyway, like he said, Lan Yu would naturally know once the signal was sent.

After coming to his senses, Lan Yu turned to look at Zhu Chong beside him and said:

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, you are right. Heaven has already destined that the Marquis of Changle will be the nemesis of the Japanese pirates. Let us wait and see!"

Zhu Chong said nothing, just smiled slightly in response, then turned his head and looked towards the direction of Hidaka Castle with some anticipation.

Seeing Zhu Chong looking towards Hidaka Castle, Lan Yu also turned his head to look over there, but there was not expectation but killing in his eyes.

This city, which had caused heavy casualties among his soldiers and put him in a dilemma, finally had a chance to be captured.

Then Lan Yu waved his hand and immediately issued a military order.

"Pass on my military order, all troops, prepare for battle. We must capture Rigao City today and then massacre the entire city!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers immediately raised their weapons and shouted in unison!

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"
