Chapter 125: The cautious He Laosan
[I'm really sorry! I went out temporarily today, and I didn't rush back until nine o'clock in the evening, and there was only such a big chapter of 5,000 words! I will try to make it back tomorrow! It's a new month! Xiaotian is here to ask for a monthly ticket! Ask for a red ticket! Ask for a collection!]
The body of the robber leader did not fall into the water, or it just didn't have time to sink into the water, and the double thorns thrown by the little dog were tied to a slender iron chain, which was also black, and looked weak but was actually extremely tough. The little dog pulled up with a skillful force, and the robber leader rushed upwards as if he had come to life, and the boys on the boat hurriedly reached out to catch it, and then put it together with the previous men, and it was considered to have reunited their brothers.
"Fourth brother, what should we do next?" asked Zhou Kang as soon as the little dog got on the boat.
The first wave of battles has ended, but there are still a lot of people secretly following behind, and the confrontation just now is just the beginning!
"The group of people just now is just spies at most, and those who haven't done it at the back are the ones who are the ones who are the big ones tonight!" Zhou Kang lowered his head and pondered.
"The same method can not be repeated, if such a group of people run up and there is no movement at all, fools know that our ship is strange, if they let us give up and chase other boats, it will be a big loss! The group of people behind can't keep up with the speed of the ship, so they can only make up their minds to grab our ship, let's be regarded as a success in luring the enemy!" Zhou Kang said the plan with a smile.
"What's the movement??," the little dog asked, looking at Zhou Kang with a puzzled face.
Zhou Kang glanced at the little dog, with a proud look of a mountain man's own clever plan, he just smiled and didn't say anything, which made the little dog even more confused, but he could only stare at a pair of big eyes and scratch his head anxiously......
He Laosan and his group, who were still following behind, noticed that the group of people in front of them were approaching the boat at the back of the fleet, and there was no movement after a hammer knock, thinking that they were boarding the ship, but now that so much time has passed, why is there no movement at all?
"Big brother, when are we going to do it?" The bald man next to He Laosan saw that someone had already gone up, so he also asked his eldest brother with itching.
At this time, He Laosan squinted at the one-eyed, looking ahead with a hint of anxiety, and tried his best to make some movement on the ship in front of him, so as to eliminate the uneasiness in his heart, prove that Yi Qiē was normal, there were no traps, and naturally there was no time to pay attention to the inquiry of the bald man.
God didn't seem to want He Laosan to accept the blow of defeat again, and when he heard his sincere prayer, he immediately appeared! There was a noisy noise from the ship in front of him, first the shouting and scolding, then the sound of swords clashing, and the wailing sound when he was on the verge of death, all of which were familiar to He Laosan!
"It's finally here!" He Laosan breathed a deep sigh of relief when he heard these voices, and the uneasiness in his heart also disappeared.
People who retain a long-term desire for a thing, will always look forward to the kind of favorable results in their hearts, and then subconsciously reject those bad speculations, this kind of thinking inertia everyone has, only some people who are particularly determined can still maintain rationality in this anxious predicament, and at the same time make accurate analysis.
It's just that He Laosan is obviously not this kind of person, and he has made a reasonable explanation for this temporary calm in his heart. The fact that the men had made such a big noise at the bottom of the ship and still not noticed it meant that the sailors on the ship were asleep, and by the time the men touched the ship, the few sentry posts were wiped out by the experienced bandits.
And the noise at this moment just proves the fact that the sailors are asleep, and the sailors who are facing the robbers who touch the ship should be making the last struggle at this moment, which is why there is such a tragic sound.
What a reasonable conjecture! It is simply perfect logic! He Laosan is really a genius! He actually guessed a qiē! All Zhou Kang wanted him to guess correctly!
The genius-like boy! Oh, no! It was a genius-like middle-aged, genius-like one-eyed middle-aged man, and seeing that his guess had been confirmed, he immediately commanded his subordinates to quietly approach the ship that had slowed down at the moment.
It's inevitable that the speed will slow down! The sailors are busy fighting, where is there time to sail the ship, no, you see, the ship is starting to fight sideways! This is ironclad proof that no one is in control!
He Laosan is ready to do it, although there are still many boats in front of him, but he is only ready to do it on the one in front of him, how do you say that? Oh, that's right!
The ship in front of them has already been attacked, and the sailors on board and the robbers who have just gone up must have suffered no small losses, and when they fight for a while, they will rush up along the road they have set up, and the black will eat the black!
He Laosan is still very satisfied and confident about this plan! After all, the strength of the people under his command is here, and the two groups of people on the ship are fighting hard, and their strength has been greatly damaged, as long as they find a good opportunity, they will not be able to take it down, on the contrary, if they attack those ships that are fully garrisoned, the price to be paid will be very great!
Besides, at this moment, when the ships in front of them saw that the last ship had an accident, they did not come back to the rescue, but sped up and ran forward! What a ruthless man! What a decisive one! What a strong man broke his wrist!
He Laosan couldn't help but applaud the determination of the leader of this fleet at this moment! That is a must! If you run away, I can only start!
The excited He Laosan took his people to quietly touch the bottom of the cargo ship that was in a deep fight, and the qiē in front of him once again confirmed He Laosan's guess, several fishing boats were nailed to the bottom of the cargo ship by thick iron nails, thinking that it was made by the group who went up just now, and a few ropes were hung down from the side of the ship, and the people in front should have climbed up with this.
"Fourth brother, they're here!" the little dog on the deck moved his nose and turned his head to Zhou Kang beside him.
Zhou Kang nodded, then raised his right hand and signaled to the teenagers and sailors behind him. The teenagers received the hint from the fourth brother and prepared for battle, but the movements in their hands never stopped.
At this time, there were burning rags everywhere on the deck, and at the same time, the boys and the sailors on the ship were striking each other with the blades in their hands, and at the same time let out a terrible wail from their mouths, this is the movement made by Zhou Kang, just to confuse the people behind, who knew that this time it was the one-eyed He Laosan who took the bait.
As the boss, He Laosan is obviously much more righteous than the bandit leader just now, and he didn't let his brothers go first but hid behind.
He Laosan grabbed the rope that was suspended from the boat and slowly climbed up, while letting the bald man watch below, in fact, He Laosan's plan was also very good. Although it is very risky to go up first, but this time they are doing what the yellow finch is behind, so they have high requirements for grasping the timing, and He Laosan is not at ease to let others do this.
Moreover, as the boss, He Laosan's kung fu is the best, and now he is just investigating the situation, with his own kung fu, it is still easy to quit, and there is a group of brothers guarding the boat, this back road can be described as safe, advance and retreat freely, although he is worthy of being a veteran!
If the robber leader just now could also think of leaving a few of his subordinates under the boat, maybe he wouldn't have ended up in such a field, but there is no if there is no if, the robber leader has no possibility of starting over, and He Laosan's future is still in his own hands, as for the future...... He can't see!
"Quickly retreat into the cabin! Be careful not to make your steps too big! Scream louder!" Zhou Kang had just poked his head out, and saw that there was only one person climbing on the rope, so he immediately ordered.
Zhou Kang didn't know that the person who came up was the boss of the other party, but no matter who the other party was, since only one person came up, it could only be the other party's spy! The idea of wanting to catch them all was frustrated, and then he had to lure the enemy deeper.
Zhou Kang's order was also learned from Xu Chen, and Xu Chen used this method of delaying time to confuse Hao Zhutou in the small courtyard full of dead corpses on the night of Qixi Festival, and successfully asked Hao Zhutou to suspect the teenagers. Now Zhou Kang used a similar method to control the shouts and footsteps to give the people who came up the illusion that the battle had penetrated deep into the cabin.
When the teenagers retreated, Zhou Kang commanded a few people to quickly mess up the neatly arranged robber corpses, just now in order to make enough space for the battle to put them in place, now since they want to confuse the enemy, it is naturally impossible to leave such a pile of neatly placed corpses. At the same time, he used the blade in his hand to make a few cuts on the corpse, causing the blood that had not yet cooled to flow out. How can you not bleed?
Fortunately, He Laosan slowed down his climbing speed for the sake of caution this time, otherwise there would not be enough time for the teenagers to arrange calmly.
At the moment when He Laosan's hand landed on the side of the ship, Zhou Kang had already evacuated into the cabin with all the people, leaving only corpses on the deck and a few piles of rags still burning.
He Laosan's hands were all on the side of the boat, he cautiously poked his head up, one eye slowly crossed the side of the ship, due to the trauma he received in the early years, for the only remaining one-eye, He Laosan really loved it! Be very careful!
One-Eye gradually saw movement on the deck, and as expected, there were corpses and charred clothes all over the floor. After He Laosan looked left and right several times to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, he listened intently to the sound of fighting from the creation cabin, and after making sure that the two people who were fighting had completely left the deck, He Laosan climbed up with confidence.
After stepping over the side of the boat and standing firmly on the deck, He Laosan walked quickly to the corpse with his waist down, stretched out his hand and touched the wound on the corpse, the blood that flowed out was still warm, He Laosan nodded with satisfaction.
Although He Laosan is cautious, after all, he is just a reckless business, and he is not a professional head catcher.
One of his excitement at the confirmation of his suspicion was that he didn't notice that the number of corpses on the deck was actually problematic. According to his previous guess, there should be only a few sentry posts on the deck of the ship, and the robbers on the ship are sneak attacking, and it is impossible to leave so many corpses behind.
In addition, although the dress of these corpses is very different, none of them are the dress of sailors, not to mention that sailors should wear short clothes and short sleeves this season, which is the most important thing, sailors must not wear shoes on the ship, and the corpses here are all wearing shoes.
Also, if He Laosan can be a little more professional, he can find that the wound on the corpse is very smooth, the broken muscles do not shrink inward, and there is no such tumbling shape.
Due to excitement and lack of professional knowledge, He Laosan failed to find the flaws left on the deck, and in this situation where every second counts, only those freaks who are calm enough to what time can discover these anomalies, and at this time He Laosan has nothing to do with calmness.
After confirming that the deck was normal, He Laosan immediately rushed to the window of the cabin and listened carefully to the movement inside.
Liu Jin's fleet, more than a dozen ships are all Hongzhou shipyard's standard official ships, two stories high, the deck is located above the second floor, and the passage to the first floor is in the cabin. This is a common ship type in the Tang Dynasty, the shape of the whole ship resembles a gold ingot, the middle is convex, and the sides of the ship are raised high. In the middle is a small loft-like cabin, which is the upper level of the ship, the first level of the ship is connected to the hull, leaving only a few windows in the hull, which can be used as both ventilation and perforation.
This type of ship has been handed down by the Hongzhou shipyard for hundreds of years, but the rise of maritime trade in recent years has prompted the shipyard to make some adjustments to this long-standing ship type. For example, some of the original useless furnishings have been removed, and the most important thing is to add a keel-like girder to the ship, changing the flat-head and flat-bottom design of the original inland shipping ship. The head of the ship is changed to a pointed shape, and the bottom of the ship is also removed from the whole plank, and the shape of the whole hull appears more fluid, so that the resistance to the current is reduced, and this type of ship is already a typical type of sea ship.
Therefore, at this moment, He Laosan is close to the high raised attic on the deck of the ship, that is, where the cabin of the whole ship is located, and if you want to enter the interior of the ship, you can only go through the passage in the small attic, the power room of the entire ship, the rudder of the ship and dozens of oars are also inside the hull, it can be said that the rest of the ship's braking parts except for the sail are all hidden inside the hull.
This design can effectively prevent the enemy from attacking the inside of the hull after boarding, and the passage to the interior is also very narrow, making it difficult to capture. It can be said that as long as the sails are lowered and destroyed, even if the enemy has completely occupied the deck, the control of the ship is still in the hands of the crew.
This turtle-shell design is the most effective way to protect ships and crews, but this passive defensive measure is really not very clever in naval warfare! If the enemy is not for the cargo, but only for the sake of killing the enemy, there are many means to achieve the goal.
It's just that today's Datang people are still at a loss, unknown and even a little afraid of the sea, and if they want to give up this kind of shrinking naval warfare thinking, they need to raise their understanding of the ocean, which is really not something that can be done in a short time!
He Laosan leaned against the window in the small attic, and there were still clear sounds of fighting and wailing from inside, and the window was covered not with cardboard shells but with a waterproof white cloth, the same material as the sails.
He Laosan took out the knife he was carrying, cut a small hole in the white cloth on the window, opened the strip of cloth and secretly looked into the cabin with that one-eye, only to see that the two teams were fighting inside!
There were only a dozen of them, dressed in loose coats, and they were very strong, presumably the remaining robbers. Others were a large group of sailors in similar costumes, presumably the ship's crew!
Now the two groups of people were slashing wildly, and the dim candle flame was constantly flickering, reflecting the blood-stained and hideous faces of both sides.
He Laosan looked at it for a moment, saw more and more people falling on both sides, and felt that the time was almost up, so he hurriedly turned around and returned.
"Fourth brother, the person is gone!" the little dog said to Zhou Kang, now the puppy's nose is much more sensitive than the dog! Even in this noisy and chaotic environment mixed with a lot of sweat and blood, the puppy can clearly distinguish the smell to remember. Although he only smelled it once just now, he remembered the smell of this person who came clearly, and now he felt that the smell was gradually moving away, and he thought that he walked away.
Other things can be imitated or even faked, but the taste on people's bodies cannot be changed, unless they are coated with special spices, He Laosan is just an ordinary gangster, where can he expect that the opponent has such a strong scout!
He Laosan came to the side of the boat and pulled the rope he used to climb just now, which was the code he had agreed with the bald man, indicating that the above was normal and the brothers could come up.
The bald man who received the boss's code hurriedly instructed the brothers to start boarding the boat, and one after another the big man climbed up the boat along the rope, but the bald man stayed below until the last brother who stayed behind also got on the boat and began to climb up.
From this point of view, it can also be seen that He Laosan's gang is indeed more cautious than the gang just now, and it also means that for Zhou Kang and the teenagers, this gang will be even more difficult to deal with!
