On the Willow Leaf Reef, Lu Wenhuan and five others were lying weakly on the top of the lighthouse, looking in the direction of Yangquan in despair.

"Lu Tou, my father works on the dock, and my mother works in the textile factory." A young soldier whispered.

Lu Wenhuan was silent for a moment, "My parents were all outside the city, planting dozens of acres of mulberry fields, my wife worked in a textile factory, and she had two children at home."

The lighthouse fell into silence again.

The night gradually enveloped the lighthouse. Lu Wenhuan stood up, walked to the front of the steam lamp, turned on the light shade, ignited the steam lamp, carefully turned off the light shade, then turned around, held the entire lamp holder and adjusted the angle to confirm that the light could be seen by any ship above the sea.

"Taoer Lu, what should I do?"

"We can do nothing except wait." Lu Wenhuan turned around and secretly wiped the tears that he couldn't help but shed, "But now, we have to do our job well."

"Lu Tou, may there be a ship coming now? Even if there are, they are either destroyed by those pirate ships or scared away?" a soldier sighed.

"My task is to light up the lights, not whether there is a ship or not." Lu Wenhuan whispered: "Or there is one ship, or as you said, a ship was sunk by those pirates. Those who are still floating on the sea may add some hope of survival when they see the lights on our lighthouse. A Niu, go and cook dinner, everyone hasn't eaten yet."

"Oh!" a soldier agreed.

The lights above the lighthouse are like the guide star in the sky, and they are raising a bright light in the darkness.

Including Lu Wenhuan, he no longer looked at Yangquan's direction, and was afraid that he would collapse if he took another look.

"Light, light, there is a boat, there is a boat." A soldier suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly. Almost at the same moment, Lu Wenhuan also saw it, and he stood up suddenly.

Compared to those young soldiers, Lu Wenhuan suddenly recognized what ship it was. It was the Ming fleet, because on this sea, only the Ming Taiping and Daqin were so tall.

"It's our fleet. Our fleet is back and Yangquan is saved." Lu Wenhuan shouted.

The lights of the battleship in the distance began to flash. Lu Wenhuan shouted: "Scholar, look, what are you talking about on the other side? Tell them, go and save Yangquan."

Amid the roar, Lu Wenhuan carried a delicate soldier to the car lamp.

After the lights of the warship in the distance stopped for a moment, they began to repeat the previous rhythm again.

"Tao Lu, they are asking us if there is an enemy ship passing by?" The young soldier called the scholar said in a crying voice.

"Tell them that it has been half a day since the enemy ships, so let them go and save Yangquan soon." Lu Wenhuan roared.

The scholar stood in front of the base and rushed out a few cards of different colors from the base, constantly emitting lights from the gas lamps at different intervals, and different lights changed.

The warships on the sea in the distance were Ning Zeyuan and his group who were returning for help from thousands of miles away. Seeing the message from the lighthouse on the Liuye Reef, Ning Zeyuan's heart suddenly sank. No matter how in a hurry, he finally slowed down for a long time. I hope Yangquan has received the alarm and is prepared.

"Accelerate, Xiangyangquan." Ning Zeyuan took a deep breath. Since he could not stop the loss, he could only stop the loss as much as possible or avenge them.

More than ten steam artillery warships led by the Taiping ship rumbled through a line in the distance of Liuye Reef. On the lighthouse, five soldiers couldn't help but burst into tears.

While Ning Zeyuan was still sailing on the sea, Yang Zhi and his group of people finally saw sails appearing on the sea surface on the city tower of Yangquan County.

The enemy came anyway.

Murong Yuan looked at the four cannons facing the harbor and the calm gunners, then looked up at the airship that had risen high in the air, with only a little light looming. Then he looked at the general Yang Zhi, who was holding a small sword beside him, and his originally anxious mentality suddenly calmed down.

Although he had experienced the situation, the most dangerous time was just two years ago when he brought his guards to fight hundreds of Qi soldiers. But now, he has to face thousands of children who are more fierce than those of Qi. It would be fake to say that he is not nervous.

There was a slight commotion on the city wall. The former soldiers who were transferred by Murong Yuan's expedition ran back and forth to comfort their soldiers. The soldiers' ferocity was fully revealed at this moment.

An old guy in his forties known to Murong Yuan was the guard leader of his father-in-law Xie Cheng's family. He usually looked like a keen person, but at this moment he was like a fierce god. Seeing a guy with his legs sifted and unable to stand firmly, he immediately kicked the guy off the wall and shouted to the bottom: "Change someone with eggs."

The person who was kicked down was ashamed, and Murong Yuan was also a little embarrassed because it was human nature. In this way, the guy who was kicked down would not be able to raise his head to be a human being in the future.

As if feeling Murong Yuan's emotional changes, Yang Zhi raised his head and glanced at him, and smiled and said, "This is the battlefield. Everyone is afraid, but it's enough to be afraid in the heart. If it is shown, it will be contagious. At this time, we need to overcome the power of fear. This is a veteran, doing a good job. Now is not a soft heart. The guardian is not a regular army, but a strong man. One braver is brave, and one fear is fear."

"I've been taught." Murong Yuan tightened his armor." General, the enemy ships shored. Did the airship go up and explode?"

Yang Zhi shook his head: "It is not necessary to drop bombs on those warships in the dark. These things should be used to deal with the birth of Naomen. If the warships cannot reach the shore, these Naomen will attack the city. Those warships should be left to Ning Zeyuan to solve them. We don't have many grenades, so we must not waste them."

"It would be great if the artillery range was a little longer. It would be great to directly bombard the gun while they were getting off the ship!" Murong Yuan felt a little regretful.

Yang Zhi curled his lips: "Please, this is an infantry cannon, which can be shot two miles away at most. The kind of cannon you mentioned is probably only the heavy artillery on the Taiping ship. Murong Yuan, if you lead troops to fight, don't make assumptions, but you should effectively use what you have. Thinking too much will interfere with your judgment and decision. Forget it, you are a civil servant, why do I tell you this? You probably won't have the chance to lead troops to fight in this life."

Murong Yuan smiled, "What the General taught him is that the Ming Dynasty is full of talented generals. If a guy like me is very satisfied with being able to do logistics in the future."

Yang Zhi laughed: "I heard you want to go to Kunling County?"

Murong Yuan couldn't help but blush, "Where did the General hear about it?"

"Your father-in-law, he even gave me a gift and said that if you have the chance, please let me push you!" Yang Zhi laughed.

Murong Yuan's face looked like a red cloth, and he only hated his father-in-law for being really confused. Fortunately, at night, the night color covered his embarrassment.

"It made the general laugh. I really didn't know that my father-in-law had done such a thing." He whispered.

"I'll take care of you!" Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Because I'm optimistic about you too. However, Kunling County is a big county, and it is one of the most important logistics bases for attacking Qi in the future. It is quite difficult to go there to be a county magistrate. You will have a chance if you have done it in Wuzhou before."

After hearing Yang Zhi say this, Murong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Murong Yuan will work hard, but after this disaster, the efforts over the past two years have been in vain."

"Good is the basis of misfortune, and misfortune is the basis of good fortune. Maybe you are in disguise and good fortune. Who can tell me it? I think you will handle this crisis well!" Yang Zhi smiled. "After such a big thing, the whole of Wuzhou is very peaceful, and it must be said that it is your credit. So this time, it will add a good review to your resume. Of course, the premise is that we keep Luo."

"There is a general here, and there is still a need for Murong Yuan to worry about it and enjoy the fruits. Oh, no, Murong just needs to hold a knife to kill the enemy." Murong Yuan said. After Yang Zhi's joke, Murong Yuan suddenly found that the previous tantrum in his heart was nothing at this time, and all that was left was eager to try.

On the dock, springboards were piled up from the warship, and teams of children from Nao, who were born in Nao, roaring from the ship, Ning Zefeng looked at the brightly lit Yangquan County in the distance, and smiled at Wu Shu, the leader of the female leader next to him, and said, "Wu Shu, see it, there is a city that is richer and more complex than Liaodong City, where there are more food, women, gold, silver and jewelry, so much that you can't move. Go and seize more wealth for your tribe."

The young Wu Shu laughed and carried a huge mace, without taking the springboard, jumped down from the boat and ran towards Yangquan City in the distance.

Looking at the birth of a girl who was gradually fading away, Ning Zeyuan's smile was curled away.

They were all pitiful people. What they didn't know was that when they fought bloody battles in Wuzhou, his fleet was about to sail away. When they set foot on this land, they were destined to be an abandoned army. No matter how much gold, silver and wealth were, they would be useless to them. They would eventually be killed by more and more Ming people one by one.

Turning around, he said to Duan Tiande: "You want more steam engines in the factory outside the city, but I won't wait for you for too long."

"Don't worry, the commander, my people have already gotten off the boat. It won't take long to bring what we want."

Ning Zefeng nodded, narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

At the top of Yangquan City, a fire flashed, and then a loud bang came. Ning Zefeng's body shook slightly, and his face changed color.

"There are artillery artillery in the small Yangquan City!" He looked into the distance in surprise.
