Chapter 1141 Pretending to be a Navy
Back on the ship, the surrounding sea fog gradually dissipated, the Tulip slowly sank, a bright moon shone in the sky, and Zhang Tuohai was able to find the direction again.
Zhang Tuohai corrected the course and continued sailing towards Red Stone Island.
At the same time, he asked the crew to take turns to rest. At this speed, they would be able to reach Redstone Island tomorrow. By then, they might be intercepted by the Targaryen fleet, and there might be a tough battle there.
You can't do without a good rest .
The lights on board were out, and there was hardly any light except the kitchen fire.
Driven by the sea breeze, the White Bird rushed towards Red Stone Island rapidly.
After Zhang Tuohai's continuous sailing, he finally arrived at Red Stone Island.
Although he had seen the terrain on the nautical chart, it was only when he actually arrived near Red Stone Island that he truly understood why this place was the throat of the Kazhuxia Sea and the Thunder Sea.
fantuantanshu.
There is no wide waterway between the Xia Sea and the Leiming Sea. Instead, it is almost cut in half by a long strip of land. The land becomes narrower towards the middle and ends abruptly about ten kilometers apart from the two lands.
And Redstone Island is stuck right in the middle of the two.
In other words, if you want to enter the Xia Sea from the Thunder Sea, you must pass through the waterway less than five kilometers long on both sides of the Red Stone Island.
Looking at the tall artillery and large-caliber coastal defense guns on Red Stone Island, Zhang Tuohai was sure that the entire waterway was within the range of the Red Stone Island coastal defense guns.
If you want to pass Red Stone Island, you must withstand the attack of this coastal defense artillery.
Looking at the unclear number of coastal defense guns, Zhang Tuohai felt that his White Bird might be sunk halfway.
Therefore, if you want to go to the Xia Sea through the waterway, you must destroy a fort.
But the fort was built on a high mountain, so if you want to destroy it, you have to attack from land.
But the mountain where the fort is located is surrounded by cliffs, and there is only one winding mountain road leading up the mountain, which is hidden in the Red Stone City in the center of the island.
"Sure enough, we have to go ashore again."
Zhang Tuohai woke up the crew members and changed the ship's license plate. Everyone on board wore the captured lobster soldiers' uniforms. Zhang Tuohai also changed into the clothes of an Imperial Navy captain, put on a huge tricorn hat, and sailed towards the port of Red Stone City.
The ship slowly stopped at the dock of Redstone City, and a group of Unsullied wearing lobster uniforms filed off the ship and stood in a neat formation.
Zhang Tuohai slowly walked down from the boat, wearing white gloves on his hands and a matching rapier and musket hanging around his waist.
"Excuse me, who are you and why did you come to Red Stone Island?" A port manager ran over and asked.
Bang!
Zhang Tuohai slapped the man directly, then pointed the musket at his head: "Can't you see who we are? The Imperial Royal Navy! Do we have to report to you for everything we do? Get out of here!"
After Zhang Tuohai finished speaking, he kicked the guy aside and then walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with a swagger.
The Unsullied followed Zhang Tuohai in an orderly line.
The person in charge of the port watched Zhang Tuohai rushing recklessly towards the City Lord's Mansion, thinking that he might be an important figure in the navy, and did not dare to ask any more questions. …
There was almost no difference between the Imperial Navy and pirates in this era. Moreover, this place was too far away from the core area of the empire, so the death of a few people was nothing and no one would care.
Therefore, for the sake of his own life, the person in charge of the port pretended not to see it and left everything to the people above him to deal with.
Zhang Tuohai strode down the street with his head held high and let out a long sigh.
He was just worried about what to do if the Targaryen family did not recognize his identity as an Imperial Navy sailor.
Now it seems that the tiger skin of the Imperial Royal Navy is big enough to cover him.
The group walked quickly to the door of the city lord's mansion. Someone had already informed them that the door of the city lord's mansion was opened, and the owner of the mansion, the city lord Holden Targaryen, who was guarding the mansion, was already standing in front of the door.
"Welcome everyone to Red Stone City. We have prepared a welcoming dinner for you."
Zhang Tuohai nodded pretentiously and strode inside, while Horton followed beside him.
A long table had already been set up in the hall, with all kinds of delicacies placed on it. Horton respectfully invited Zhang Tuohai to the main seat.
"I wonder what the great Royal Navy is doing in Red Stone City?"
Holden asked doubtfully.
"There is a pirate wanted by the Empire named Zhang Tuohai, who is causing chaos in the Thunder Sea with a pirate ship. Did you know that?"
Zhang Tuohai said.
"I've heard of it." Holden nodded.
Their court scholar Antonio had just told him two days ago that Zhang Tuohai had killed their direct heir and was now the mortal enemy of the entire Targaryen family. He asked him to guard Red Stone Island and not let Zhang Tuohai pass by.
Bachelor Antonio was worried that Zhang Tuohai had passed through Red Stone Island ahead of time, so he had already led his fleet across Red Stone Island to track them.
"I came here just for him. There is news that Zhang Tuohai is going to escape from the Thunder Sea through Red Stone Island. If he gets away, it will cause irreparable damage to the Xia Sea. So, the order I received is to block Red Stone Island and never let him escape from here."
"Don't worry, sir. Red Stone Island is impregnable. It has two heavy artillery batteries and a hundred heavy guns of various types. Without my approval, no ship can pass through."
Holden patted his chest and assured.
"No, I'm not reassured just by this. So, you take me to the fort and let me see it with my own eyes. This is an order from the empire."
Zhang Tuohai rolled his eyes and said.
"Is that so? Well, come with me."
Holden glanced at the Unsullied following behind Zhang Tuohai. They were wearing neat military uniforms and standing straighter than the lobster soldiers.
I secretly sighed in my heart: "As expected of the elite of the empire, they are different."
He never suspected that Zhang Tuohai might be a pirate.
He knew very well what pirates were like. They were lazy, greedy, drunk, and had no discipline. It was impossible for them to stand so straight and remain indifferent to all the delicious food and wine. If they were not the elite army of the empire, then what else could they be?
Horton immediately led the way and took Zhang Tuohai up the mountain road to the artillery position.
A group of people holding torches climbed up the road leading to the mountaintop artillery position.
The mountain road is winding and the stone steps are narrow, only enough for two people to walk side by side. At the end of the stone steps on the top of the mountain, there is a rock blockhouse with narrow shooting holes on it. As long as a team of elite shooters is stationed inside, it will be difficult to capture it even if the enemy is ten or a hundred times their number.
Zhang Tuohai was secretly shocked when he saw the defense of the mountain road. Fortunately, he had tricked Horton into taking him up the mountain. If he had attacked by force, the few people he had would not have been able to take down the artillery position.
