Chapter 141: Naval Battle
"Doodoo Dot ......"
There were bursts of busy sounds from the microphone, urgent, harsh, and dull, but in Li Dacheng's ears, it was like a heavenly sound, he knew that Liu Rumeng had hung up the phone, but he was not angry, because he had already got the answer he wanted, and it was still an answer that he was looking forward to and satisfied with.
This toss was not in vain, and the effort was finally rewarded. Li Dacheng's current mood is like a farmer's uncle who has worked hard for a long time and finally saw the ripe fruit in the harvest season, which is a kind of harvest joy. I only talk about it in my heart, this year is finally not in vain, at the end of the year, I have gained a girlfriend, and I can finally end my single dog career and say goodbye to dog food.
Li Dacheng's face showed a smile, and the clerk's little sister also breathed a sigh of relief, there are only a few female clerks in the store, if you really encounter a pervert, then it's okay?
Humming a little song, under the gaze of the women, Li Dacheng left the cosmetics store. Although Liu Rumeng did not give him a final answer, nor did he promise to meet him, Li Dacheng was as happy as if he had married his daughter-in-law. No way, single for so many years, the sow race sable cicada, let alone the real sable cicada?
When he got home, Li Dacheng found Li Lianying, sent the goods to the other party, and then spent a few taels of silver to buy a few dishes, and while eating, he looked at the situation of Liu Jin and Zheng He.
The purpose of monitoring Liu Jin is to prevent the other party from playing tricks with him, saying that it is immortal magic that can probe the depths of people's hearts, but in fact, it is all fooling, how does Li Dacheng know what Liu Jin is thinking in his heart? What he knows about Liu Jin is all based on Sogou, so he must monitor Liu Jin's every move to prevent the other party from transferring the family property.
As for Zheng He, it is even simpler, the other party is about to cross the sea from Ceylon to Guli, this sea area is rampant with pirates, Li Dacheng doesn't want Zheng He to have any accidents when crossing the sea, so in addition to the support of grenades. It also needs to be paid special attention, and now the entire ocean-going fleet is not only Zheng He's alone, but also his Li Dacheng's share. The sooner Zheng He arrived in Guli, the sooner his overseas trade could begin, so Zheng He's safety must be guaranteed.
Liu Jin seemed to have injured his buttocks in the previous thunderstorm, and he kept chattering crookedly, lying on the bed and screaming. Like a girl, four or five eunuchs and palace maids waited around and were not satisfied, and the score was bigger than the emperor.
The bad guys are fine, but the good guys are in trouble, because Li Dacheng can clearly feel from the message sent by Zheng He that Zheng He's fleet has encountered pirates, and it is a large number of pirates.
Li Dacheng's whole body tensed, paying attention to the course of this naval battle. When necessary, continue to buy grenades from Li Lianying, as well as foreign guns and cannons. Carry out fire support for Zheng He.
At this time, Zheng He stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scene in front of him, with a heavy expression. Not long after the fleet lifted anchor from Ceylon, countless ships suddenly appeared on the sea, and at first he thought they were local fishermen, but when he found that these boats had been hovering near the fleet, not only did not disperse, but gathered more and more, he realized that it was a group of pirates.
Zheng He had sailed six times before. It's not like he hasn't seen pirates, but it's the first time he's seen such a huge pirate group in front of him, and he looks at it from afar. It is densely packed, at least there are seventy or eighty ships, and even the appearance of white ships, and there are many large ships several zhang long, with cannons on them.
And look at them in an orderly and neat formation. At a glance, you can see that they are well-trained and experienced in a hundred battles, and they are no worse than the sailors of the countries along the road, and even far superior in scale.
You must know that this sea area between Ceylon and Guli is the only way for multinational merchant ships to trade, and all the ships that pass through here are either full of gold and silver treasures, or all kinds of rare and exotic objects, not to mention pirates, sometimes even the local fishermen or sailors are red-eyed when they see it, often change their clothes, make guest appearances as pirates, and if they succeed once, they will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
"My lord, what should we do? The pirates are getting closer and closer to us, and they are about to surround us. A herald hurriedly said to Zheng He. This is a newcomer, although he has been a sailor in the sailor for many years, but it is the first time to go to sea, not to mention that he is in a foreign country, and he is inevitably a little uneasy.
"Nonsense, we have more than 200 ships, how can we be surrounded by just pirates, and we must not disturb the morale of the army. Zheng He said in a deep voice, not alarmed, calm, "Inform the ships, keep in formation, listen to my orders, and prepare to attack." ”
"Yes!" The herald immediately climbed onto the pole and raised the herald flag in his hands to relay the message to the other ships. One passed ten, ten passed hundred, and soon, Zheng He's order spread throughout the entire fleet, and everyone was steady.
"Someone. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Shout to the ships in front of you, and immediately get out of the way, and if you come any further, the cannons will wait. Zheng He gave the second order.
"Yes!"
Zheng He stared intently at the situation at sea, these ships did not look like pirates until now, did not open fire, did not shout, and did not go on a rampage, if it was an ordinary inexperienced merchant ship, it was really easy to see the other party as a fishing boat and a passing merchant ship. However, this qiē could not hide from him.
He has been sailing for many years, and he has dealt with pirates countless times, what kind of pirates he has never seen? No matter how well the pirate group is disguised, it cannot escape his eyes.
The boats, sometimes scattered and sometimes gathered, seemed to float with the waves, but they always deliberately kept the distance between the ships. And the crew members of those ships, all of them are in good health, although they are fishing for fishing, and they are fishing for nets, but they are all absent-minded, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the fleet, as if they are waiting for something.
Zheng He knew what these people were waiting for, they were waiting for the order of the thief leader. As long as the thief gives an order, the earth-shattering shouts of killing will sound on this calm sea, and these silent fishermen will immediately become murderers without blinking.
The herald had already called out to the ships around the fleet, but none of them had left, but had come closer to the fleet.
"My lord, there are dozens of ships rapidly approaching the middle of our fleet, can we meet them?" asked another herald running over.
"They want to cut our fleet into two ends and break them one by one. Zheng He sneered and said, "Notify the ships and attack!"
Whoop......
As soon as Zheng He's order was given, he heard bursts of roars from the front, and he fixed his eyes to see that the 'fishermen' who were still fishing had already put down the fishing nets and fishing rods in their hands, picked up big knives, spears and other weapons from the bed, stood at the head of the bed and waved them, shouting, as if they had taken medicine, and they were very excited.
And the deafening roar is the signal of these people's attack, and it also has the effect of deterring the target and demonstrating to the target, so as to overwhelm the target in momentum and frighten the target, so as to achieve the purpose of intercepting the ship. And the average ship owner, when he saw this scene, must have been frightened and surrendered.
Facing this scene, Zheng He still stood firmly at the bow of the ship, he knew very well that to deal with these pirates, in addition to killing, is to kill, because these pirates are all extremely vicious masters, if you don't kill him, he will kill you. When I left Ceylon, I heard from the locals that these pirates were extremely vicious, not only robbing money, but also killing people, in this sea area, I don't know how many people died, and often corpses were washed up on the shore, and the death was extremely ugly.
So the best way is to repel these pirates before they board the ship, because if they are allowed to board the ship, there will be deaths and injuries.
Zheng He silently calculated the distance in his heart, and when the pirate ship entered the range, he gave the order without hesitation.
"Fire!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The cannons of the treasure ships, which had long been aimed, immediately opened fire after receiving the order.
Rumble!
Bang Bang Bang ......
The cannonballs made a beautiful arc across the sea and flew towards the pirates.
Rumble ......
On the whole sea, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the wind and waves were calm a moment ago, but now they became cannon sounds and the waves rolled.
And the shells that flew out, some of them concentrated the ships, and some fell into the sea. The ships that were hit by the shells rushed to put out the fire, and the sunken ones jumped directly into the sea, climbed to the nearby ships, and continued to rush forward at high speed.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
These pirates, each of whom is a master of death, kills and robs goods in this sea area all year round, and the artillery fire in the sky does not make them retreat, in their eyes, there are only treasures, only women. Firearms or swords, they can't stop them from moving forward.
"Shoot the arrows!"
After the pirate ship took another step, Zheng He immediately raised his arms high and quickly put them down, as clean as swinging a knife. Slash, slash, slash! Slay the pirates in front of you.
The soldiers, who had been waiting on the deck for a long time, immediately raised their bows and arrows, aimed them at the ship, drew their bowstrings, and shot them fiercely. And among these bows and arrows, there are both sharpened and fast arrows, as well as rockets with burning arrows, which can not only hurt people, but also burn ships, which is definitely a great weapon in naval warfare.
Whoosh ......
The sky was covered with arrows, and the wails came and went. Clever pirates quickly take refuge in the ship's cabin, or take up their shields to keep out the rain of arrows. Generally, they jump directly into the sea, plopping and plopping, like dumplings, just hate not to have a fish tail. And the brainless one still stood at the bow of the boat, shouting and brandishing a big knife, as if he had an incorruptible body of King Kong, until he was shot into a hedgehog and fell into the sea.
In the face of the attack of Zheng He's treasure ship, the pirates were not to be outdone, cannons, bows and arrows, and all the weapons that could be used were used, and in terms of firepower output, they were no worse than Zheng He's fleet, and there were even strong men, holding spears, and throwing them hard at the ship, and they could really throw them on the ship.
For a time, the sound of shouting and killing filled the entire ocean.
A vicious battle, in full swing. (To be continued.) )
