Chapter 21: The Dragon King is Saved from His Death
Mai Ke and Uncle Lu's wish to mediate was not fulfilled, because when Lao Meng was so shocked that he couldn't speak, his anger did not disappear, but accumulated more and more, and then he wanted to go up and beat Peter before he could vent his evil anger.
However, when he saw that Peter was big and young and strong, he restrained himself from making any moves. Fortunately, he can still judge the situation, otherwise it would be really difficult to say who will beat whom. Peter wasn't just big.
But if you can't get angry, it's not Lao Meng's style. When he saw that everyone was seated, he slapped on the table in front of him with a "snap", accompanied by an angry roar, "Don't move!
The table deserved to be unlucky, and it happened to be in front of Lao Meng. As a result, this palm, which carried the fury of thunder, instantly struck it apart, and collapsed on the ship's board with a thud.
Others were shocked by the dragon king's momentum, but Peter didn't take it seriously, and his immediate reaction was to rush forward and teach his old man a lesson. It's not too young anymore, so why don't you even understand free love and independent marriage?
He had forgotten that this was China, and that it was the mid-nineteenth century, not the twenty-first century United States. What is taken for granted is reasonable and legal at this time, but China is very rebellious.
Mai Ke stopped Peter and said to Meng Baxi, "I am responsible for making this matter clear, but the top priority now is how to deal with the enemy. I'll talk about it after the fight. ”
At this time, Ruofei grabbed his father's arm and shook it gently, "Dad, don't say anything else, you have to put on your shoes first, right? ”
It's still a girl's heart. Lao Meng ran out barefoot, never thinking about wearing shoes. Only the daughter knows her father's habits and knows that her father likes to take off her shoes as soon as she stops. He is also quick-tempered and often goes barefoot to greet guests.
Lao Meng can be the helper, of course, he knows the priorities, so he got off the donkey down the slope, snorted heavily, and put on his shoes, which can be regarded as giving his daughter and Mai Ke a face. The biological daughter and the daughter's savior cannot be offended.
It was only then that Mai Ke had a chance to explain his intentions. Peter was also introduced, saying that he was a naval commander. Although the lake is large, it is insignificant compared to the vast ocean. Therefore, he built yì, and Peter was to command this water battle.
If it weren't for the son-in-law's turmoil just now, it would have been possible for Peter to take command, at least there would have been room for negotiation. But now, the old dragon king, who was still angry, had no reaction to agree.
Therefore, Mai Ke's construction was rejected by a clean and complete vote. The Dragon King's absolute domination over the boat gang is vividly displayed. Others didn't even get a chance to speak.
That's the only way to do it. Let's improvise tomorrow depending on the situation.
Out of care for their guests, Mai Ke and Peter were given a room on the big ship of the helper to rest. Many people felt that even if there was a war, the two would not be able to help.
Ruofei, of course, was separated from Peter. His father had 100,000 and why was he waiting for her to give an answer?
Peter and Mai Ke did not rest, the front foot returned to the room, and the back foot immediately left without anyone noticing. They had gone to reconnoiter the enemy.
At the same time, see if they have any changes. It's not fun to be attacked at night without being prepared.
The two of them repeated their old tricks, flew into the air, and used night vision devices to observe the enemy camp. Not to mention, the commander of the other party is really extraordinary, hundreds of large ships are well organized and quiet.
Fly closer, look closer, and see that the big ship is divided into three groups. The groups on the left and right are the same size, but the number of ships in the middle is much smaller. But the middle group of boats was much larger, probably one and a half the size of the ships on both sides.
The front ends of the flotillas on the left and right gradually converged, and finally joined together, what appeared to be a huge arrowhead.
Peter approached Mai Ke and whispered, "This is the Peak Arrow Formation, the most advanced formation at that time. It seems that the other side has a water battle master.
"This formation is most effective against a scattered fleet. As soon as the arrow was embedded in the enemy line, the entire peak arrow immediately burst forward, piercing the enemy team in a very short time. ”
If you don't know that the enemy uses this formation and suddenly encounters it, it is estimated that the boat gang will soon collapse.
Although I know it now, that old stubborn and unwilling to hand over command still has no way to break it.
After the two returned, they continued to discuss countermeasures. It seems that the key is to get the command in hand, otherwise it is still on paper.
Peter apologized to Mai Ke and said that he had delayed the matter, otherwise Lao Meng would not have been so stubborn.
Mai Ke patted him on the shoulder and said, the Bible has a teaching, don't worry about tomorrow's things. Let's rest first, and then we can adapt to the situation when the time comes.
In fact, it didn't take long for Mai Ke and Peter to be woken up. It was said that the war would start at the hour, and there would be preparations for eating, lining up the boats, etc., so an hour in advance, from the beginning of the hour, everyone was busy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mai Ke found the Meng gang leader alone and explained to him what position the enemy was going to use. With the help of his daughter, Lao Meng reluctantly dispelled his suspicions about these news, and made some preparations accordingly.
At seven o'clock in the morning, all the ships of the Boat Gang sailed to the battlefield. Stop on this side of the battlefield and wait for the other party to come. When you look at it all over the world, you can see that the flag is like the sea, and the ship is like an ant; the golden drum shakes the sky, and the corners are drawn from afar.
Seeing that the other party had not moved, Meng Baxi sneered. If you can't fight a battle on time, you can't get it done!
At this moment, Leng Ran heard a trumpet, high and agitated, straight into the sky. In the distance, I saw a huge fleet of ships, like angry horses galloping and dark clouds rolling, covering it.
The fleet is getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it is on the surface of the water where the opponent should stay against each other. Boss Meng is still there disdainful, running so fast, see how you stop.
How are they going to stop? Mai Ke was also thinking about this. Do they have to stop? Why should they stop? Suddenly, Mai Ke had a flash of inspiration, and they didn't want to stop at all, but rushed straight over!
One charged with all his might, the other was unprepared, standing still, the impact of this movement and static state was too great!
Mai Ke didn't have time to do anything else, and shouted: "The enemy ship has already rushed into battle!"
Only then did everyone become alert, and they hurriedly began to row boats to meet the enemy.
Unfortunately, it was still too late! The very fast movement had only just started the ship, and the slow movement had not even been in place, and the enemy ship was inserted into the boat gang like a huge and sharp arrow.
Just now, the colorful flags were unfurled, and the jubilant fleet fell from heaven to hell in the blink of an eye.
Everywhere the enemy ships passed, it was like a cornfield trampled by a thousand blind bears. I saw the ship capsizing, the man falling into the water, the mast breaking, and the flag crooked.
Looking at the fragile appearance of the boat gang, Mai Ke couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for us, this Meng Long in the water probably wouldn't have escaped the catastrophe today.
Even if we are here, it will not be easy to deal with the difficult situation in front of us and turn things around. I hope that the old dragon king can wake up and no longer control elbows.
The Gang Master's ship was close to the ravaged lines. Meng Baxi saw that his home was being destroyed, he was anxious, and he was helpless, so he leaned his upper body out of the side of the boat, as if he wanted to jump over to help.
With a whoosh, a swarthy iron arrow flew towards his head. Even if it is not a crossbow, it is an improvement that is more lethal than a regular crossbow.
The gang leader, who was watching the enemy, was all attracted by the tragic situation of the boat gang disciples being killed, and he didn't even notice the fatal arrow that came quickly. By the time he realized it, the arrows were close to his door.
Seeing that it was inevitable that the arrow would pierce his head, Lao Meng could only close his eyes and wait for death. It was too late, but it was too soon, and a hand flashed and took the arrow out of sight.
It turned out that it was Peter who made a move and saved his father-in-law's life at a critical moment. Although this father-in-law has not yet recognized himself.
At this time, a trick prepared in advance finally worked.
In the arrangement of the third row of ships, Meng Baxi arranged the fleet of Meng Xin, the dragon of the swallowing river, in response to the clues provided by Mai Ke, and prepared to intercept the charging of the enemy ships.
Their boats were already particularly wide and thick. After receiving the task of interception, they made urgent preparations and chained up their 1,000 ships. Wooden planks are also placed between the boats to reinforce the connection and facilitate walking.
These planks were originally on the ship, and they were used to keep arrows out, and they could be moved for this purpose.
The two rows of ships in the front row, which were just as the enemy ships were rushing into formation, were either sunk and overturned, or scattered and fled, and there was no longer any obstacle between the blockers and the chargers.
There was a loud "boom", and the two behemoths collided together.
The charge of the enemy ships stopped abruptly, and the fleet of the river swallowing dragon also trembled, and finally blocked it.
Except for the relatively large damage to the hull of the ship, there were no casualties. And the Ning family's fleet, except for the two ships that directly collided, one of which overturned, did not suffer major losses.
The defending flotilla, in addition to frontal blockade, also went back and surrounded the enemy ships, and the two sides fought on the spot.
This went on for two hours, with casualties on both sides, but neither of them broke the deadlock. Everyone basically uses the tactic of adding oil, and when they are tired of being disabled, they will change it again.
Seeing that the time was about to pass, and it was almost noon, the Ning family first proposed an armistice. The boat gang immediately agreed. The two sides agreed to fight again tomorrow. It's still in this place.
When I went back to check the results of the battle, the ship's losses were heavy. In total, 50 ships were wrecked and sunk, 120 killed, 300 wounded, and 80 missing, whose fate is unknown. Among those who died were two co-helmsmen.
Seeing such a large casualty, Meng Baxi was deeply saddened. He regretted that he had not given command to Peter. The boat gang had never experienced such a big loss in his hands.
At the same time, he was also secretly glad that if he hadn't made preparations and sent Meng Xin to block the enemy ships, the annihilation of the entire army would have been a certainty.
Not to mention, Peter's genius at the critical moment, he couldn't imagine how Peter did it. It's too fast.
From that moment on, he decided not to stand in the way of the two anymore. If I die, I can't stop it. Anyway, it's my daughter's choice.
This old dragon really has a bit of a dragon king's mind. This is the thing he cares about the most, and he wants to open it when he says he wants to.
It's a solution that no one has thought of. If Mai Ke knew at this time, he should have praised it again, and sure enough, every qiē has the good intentions of God. As soon as he had time, he was still thinking about how to explain it to the old dragon.
Then the old gang leader gathered everyone together and solemnly announced that the enemy for morrow would be under Peter's full command. From now on, the preparation and arrangement of a qiē are left to him to be in charge. Let no one transgress, even as I ruled over you.
So, the people are still the same people, the ships are still the same ships, and the enemy is still as strong as ever, to see if Peter can turn defeat into victory.
This is what everyone thinks in their hearts, and even Mai Ke is a little looking forward to it.
I only knew that this guy was very talented in naval warfare, but this time let's see how he makes waves in this small pond.
