Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"But……"

At this time, Chenpi looked at Qin Ming hesitantly.

Everyone knew what he wanted to say.

Now these water ghosts are still prisoners of war.

Letting them lead the team, wearing underwater equipment like Daqian, is like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

Zhao San also spoke quickly. After saying this, he looked around and saw several water ghost seniors winking at him, and he immediately realized that he had said something wrong.

So he took the initiative to speak:

"Forget it. Actually, the waterway here is not too wide. Your Majesty can send a few hundred men down there to basically explore the area."

The atmosphere on the scene was suddenly no longer as awkward as before.

However, Qin Ming also understood that only the water ghosts who lived on both sides of the river all year round could better help them understand the situation.

Glancing at the surrounding water ghosts, he slowly spoke:

"Several members of the Luo Cult, put on their equipment and lead the team, cooperating with Chenpi to investigate the situation on the other side."

"Your Majesty, you..."

Faced with Qin Ming's trust, Zhao San immediately spoke with gratitude.

Qin Ming waved his hand and said:

"People from the Luo Sect can be trusted."

His own sect had developed to this point, and the followers who were carrying copper coins were still trustworthy.

"Okay, give them some equipment."

Faced with the decision made by Qin Ming, Chen Pi immediately called on his men to bring several more sets of equipment from the back and brought several water ghosts to the shore.

Zhao San and several other water ghosts calculated the time and divided into two groups. One group inserted wooden stakes on the east bank, and the other group took several long ropes. One of them jumped into the river and disappeared into the water.

With the equipment, the water ghosts have amazing maneuverability underwater.

The rope was quickly secured to a tree on the opposite bank.

In this way, three ropes were used to connect the east and west banks.

After testing the firmness, Zhao San brought the group of people who went to the other side back to Chen Pi and Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty, we have been in Yan Wujiang's camp for a while. They will change guards at the hour of Mao. There must be someone on the opposite mountain. If we use a rope to sneak into the river and reach the other side at the hour of Yin, we will not be discovered."

Zhao San calculated the time very accurately. The Yin hour was the time when the enemy was most tired before the change of guard.

If Yan Wujiang had a backup plan on the west coast.

They set up an ambush at Yinshi before dawn.

After waiting for an hour, you can see the supporting troops and easily determine their location.

"Well, I will wait for you to go over and confirm the blasting location with the craftsmen. When you finish your mission and return, I will detonate it here."

Qin Ming had already asked someone to deliver a large quantity of nitro explosives that he had made.

As long as Chen Pi and Zhao San determine the position of the enemy on the opposite bank and eliminate it, they can quickly create a height difference in the Yan River and hinder shipping.

Chang Baishan, who was dispatched back early, would send a telegram to the downstream troops, asking them to cooperate with the main force's firepower to launch an attack on Yan Wujiang.

"no problem."

After the army of hundreds of people rested in place for two hours, the time soon came to the hour of Yin.

The sky will get bright at the hour of Mao, and the hour of Yin is just before dawn.

Zhao San waved to Chen Pi and the navy officers present, and taking advantage of the dim environment, they jumped into the already freezing river water one after another.

They buried their bodies completely in the river without showing their heads, and only relied on the underwater equipment provided by Qin Ming and a tube to breathe.

Although the river water was muddy and fast, with the help of the rope, they were able to move steadily towards the other side.

At the same time, Qin Ming has begun to help them lay out the insurance.

"Have you figured it out?"

Turning around, he looked at the craftsmen present. With the water map and knowing the depth of the riverbed in front of them, they had been making estimates.

Finally, more than 70 locations of various sizes were determined, and several craftsmen checked them again before Chenpi left.

"Your Majesty, no problem, you can set the explosives."

"Well, get started."

With Chenpi's successful landing, Qin Ming's order was issued, and the remaining dozen or so soldiers began to rush into the river to lay the explosives.

As for the lead, it was designed by Qin Ming and wrapped with rubber for waterproofing.

On the opposite bank, Chen Pi followed Zhao San onto the shore and ambushed him, trying to prevent anyone on the high slope on the opposite bank from discovering the explosives laid by Qin Ming and others.

Suddenly, Zhao San patted Chenpi and said:

"It seems to be coming!"

Following the direction of his finger, Chenpi saw a group of baggage carts carrying gunpowder, which were being transported towards a reverse slope on the west bank.

"So he was hiding here."

This is a slope behind the west coast highlands.

The Yan army stored a lot of ammunition here. These ammunitions can not only supply the defense troops stationed here, but also quickly support Yan Wujiang's main force.

When they fought with Qin Ming before, their ammunition depot was blown up.

Now that it is stored in a dispersed manner, it can increase security and prevent Qin Ming from stealing the house again.

Everyone looked up at the environment above, and soon saw the Yan army hiding in the mountains and forests to protect the area along the upstream.

These people should be just one of the troops.

They did not notice Qin Ming's actions. When the hour of Mao arrived, the handover was still perfunctory.

If an elite force like the Tiger Roar Guards were here, they would definitely not be so lax.

However, the Tiger Roar Guards are still under siege by the Wu family and cannot get out of Lian'an City at all.

"How to say?"

Zhao San looked towards the distance at the group of Yan troops who had just replaced them.

Chen Pi glanced at the Daqian troops lurking in the river, burying explosives, and whispered:

"Take off your equipment, deal with them, and try that powder magazine too."

After conducting reconnaissance here, they still have to go back.

Whether it is to create favorable conditions for detonation or to prevent Yan Wujiang from responding in time, these people on the mountain must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Chenpi even wanted to set their powder keg on fire.

After making the decision, everyone took off their equipment and crawled towards the high slope, taking cover from the dense vegetation along the shore.

As they were climbing up, Chen Pi suddenly asked Zhao San:

"Do you think there will be other nearby troops coming to support us?"

Zhao San's heart tightened, and he said nervously:

"I don't know much about military arrangements, but there's more than one place to stay here."

"Then just pretend they have it."

Chenpi is very cautious.

"Then we need to make a quick decision."

"Brothers, don't use guns in hand-to-hand combat. You water ghosts will pull back. If we fail, jump into the river and report to His Majesty."

Although firearms are highly lethal, they can also cause a lot of noise.

If they were surrounded after crossing the Yan River and arriving here, with the river blocking their way behind them, they would probably not be able to escape.

We can only fight in close combat first to restrain them.

Seeing this, Zhao San's face was immediately filled with worry.

"Close combat, isn't it very risky..."

But just after he asked this question, he suddenly froze.

Because all the soldiers and generals present responded without any hesitation, rubbing their hands, and then drew out the steel daggers at their waists with excitement.

They...seem to really think this will work!
