Chapter 1399: Han Flag World (89) Wharf
The two clippers slowly approached one on the left and one on the right, Zhai Qing looked desperately at the heavily armed soldiers on the side of the other party's ship, and the divine crossbow aimed at them, he knew this thing, and he had seen this thing, this kind of crossbow machine was fired with hundreds of crossbow arrows, enough to shoot himself into a hornet's nest.
With two clangs, the three boats leaned together, and the sound of knocking was endless, and one by one the Han soldiers jumped onto the ships of the Chu Army's naval division, and soon, Zhai Qing and his soldiers were tied up like a string of sugar gourds and taken to one of the Han Army's naval ships.
Countless ships passed by Zhai Qing's side, and after a rough count, there were as many as sixty ships that had already passed in front, and in the rear, there was a steady stream of ships popping up.
Zhai Qing was drenched in cold sweat, the Han Army's sailors were attacking in a nest, but Jiangdong County was defenseless at the moment, and a large number of sailors and ships should be parked on the dock at this moment.
It's over, it's over! He sat on the deck dejectedly, and on the other side of the ship, there was a group of prisoners, the smugglers he had been chasing for a little night, but these people were not tied, and were leaning against the side of the ship at the moment, looking at him with a sneer.
Many years later, these two people, an officer and an officer and a businessman, who fought for almost their lives in the middle of the night, became inseparable friends, because Zhai Qing felt that if he hadn't chased that guy in the middle of the night and left the camp of the sailor, he would definitely be like those former colleagues, under the artillery of the Han army's sailor, and become the excrement of fish and shrimp under the river. These two guys, in the end, became maritime merchants, both of them are people who make a living on the water, they have courage and technology, and in the era when the Han Dynasty vigorously developed overseas, people like them are not worried that there is no way out. The two who eventually became Monopoly reminisced about this period of time. It's all embarrassing.
At this moment, Li Quan naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to what these captives were thinking, he was a little worried, since he could see a warship of the Chu Army Navy Division here, would there be more warships out of the port, he was not worried that the Han Army Navy Division would not be able to defeat the other party, but he could not block the other party in the harbor, if the two sides were scattered, it would be difficult to chase, which would cause trouble in the future, Li Quan wanted to block most of the other party's ships in the port and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Once.
The Taihe wharf outside the city of Jiangdong County is the largest wharf in the whole Chu State, which is completely different from the military and civilian wharves of the Han State, but the wharf of Taihe is a mixed military and civilian use, with the great development of trade with the Han State, the advantages of waterways compared with land routes, so that the Taihe Wharf has been greatly developed in recent years, and has almost doubled, but Rao is so. The entire Taihe Wharf is still unable to accommodate the huge military and civilian fleet, and the overcrowded wharf is like a vegetable market, and more ships are anchored here on the river beyond the wharf. Waiting for the moment of arrival.
In the eyes of the Han merchants who often come and go, Taihe's wharf is too chaotic in management, compared with the Fenzhou and Cangzhou wharves of the Han Dynasty. In terms of management, it is not at the same level at all, and the largest wharves in Fenzhou and Cangzhou are much larger than those in Taihe, and the number of ships entering is at least doubled. But the management there is extremely orderly, as soon as you enter the management waters of the wharf, there will be a wharf management fast ship to come, to designate a temporary docking area for you and give you a serial number, and then what you have to do is to quietly wait for the guide ship to guide you to dock in the wharf at the right time, unload or load the goods within the specified time, and then leave under the guidance of the guide ship, the whole time is inlaid tightly, the inlet and outlet channels go their own way, do not interfere with each other, greatly improve the utilization efficiency of the wharf, It's like Taihe Wharf, and it's all in chaos.
Yang Yunhua sat bored on the bow of the boat, staring at the front densely packed with you squeezing me, I rely on your boat, he is a Han businessman, the main business is to transport the specialties of Chu to the Han State for sale, every time the most headache is this experience in Taihe Wharf, I don't know how long I have to wait, but also have to go up and down, if you don't get it, it is a common thing for you to wait outside for ten days and a half months and not be able to enter the wharf. A small half of the profit from each trip is spent on this up and down dots.
"Boss, the fourth child should be on the spot, this time we have stopped for three whole days." There was an anxious voice in his ears, Yang Yunhua didn't have to look back, he also knew that this was the voice of the second Pu Cheng, Pu Cheng was the captain of this ship, and he used to be the first mate on a naval ship, but in a battle overseas, he lost a leg and had to retire. After retiring, Pu Cheng, who was unwilling to be lonely, bought this ship in a joint venture with himself and began to run to the Chu State, contributing his own funds, Pu Cheng providing technology and recruiting sailors, and he also made a lot of money in the past two years.
"Second, don't worry, the fourth is doing this on the dock, he is also skilled, and he will get a little bit of power on the dock, but you look at the situation of this Taihe dock, even if it is convenient for us, I'm afraid it will take time, wait a minute, or it will be our turn."
"This damn Taihe Pier, it's just too chaotic." Pu Cheng was dissatisfied, accustomed to the kind of orderliness in the Han army, although he had been running this route for nearly two years, and had entered and exited Taihe Wharf countless times, he was still not very used to it.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Yang Yunhua stood up suddenly, pointing ahead, a dock boat with an official flag was squeezing out of a narrow waterway with difficulty, and standing at the bow of the boat was his own fourth child.
"Anchor, brethren, get ready for work!" Park Cheng was overjoyed and shouted at the top of his voice.
The sailors who were drowsy on the deck suddenly became active, most of these sailors, most of them were retired sailors found by Park Cheng using his connections, all of them were very capable, they were all in the navy earlier, and when they got to this inland river, it was directly a piece of cake.
Pu Cheng was excitedly preparing to direct the ship to enter the port, but as soon as he took a step, he was stuck somewhere, looked at Shimen Mountain in the distance, and said in shock: "Boss, what is the situation?" ”
Yang Yunhua followed the direction pointed by Pu Cheng, and was also dumbfounded, on Shimen Mountain, a straight wolf smoke was soaring, and after a while, it was the second and third paths.
They who often run this route know very well that on Shimen Mountain, it is a guard post set up by the Chu Army's naval division, where you can see the situation on the river several miles away, wolf smoke, it represents an enemy attack, and three wolf smoke represents a hundred thousand urgent.
On this river, there was only one enemy in the Chu State Water Division, and that was the Han Army's Inland River Water Division.
"Won't it?" Yang Yunhua looked at Pu Cheng. Park Cheng is still quite related among the sailors.
"I don't know, I've never heard that our sailors are coming to fight here!" Park Cheng muttered.
As the warning wolf smoke rose on Shimen Mountain, the alarm bell also rang immediately, and the entire Taihe Wharf suddenly became chaotic. One by one, the sailors of the Chu State raised the anchor in a panic, hoisted the sails, and wanted to turn around and sail out of the dock, but the chaotic situation on the entire dock made it difficult for them to move forward, and most of the civilian ships also understood what at the moment, everyone wanted to escape from here at the first time.
Everyone wanted to escape, but instead there was only a narrow passage blocked, and no one wanted to get out.
"What a big cake!" Yang Yunhua also panicked suddenly, "Second brother, is there a way to get out?" Our sailors can be equipped with artillery, and when the time comes, we will be recognized as Han Chinese! By then, our ship will be finished, no, even the people will be finished. ”
"Boss, unless you put wings on this ship, we can fly out, you see, there are boats in front and back, left and right, damn it, it's impossible to get out." Park Sung smiled bitterly.
Both of them were panicked, and in the helplessness, they saw that on the river in the distance, the first Han inland river division hanging the Yellow Dragon Banner appeared, and the three-story building ship was larger than the largest naval division ship in the Chu State, one after another, and in an instant, the river in the distance was full of ships of the Han army's inland river division.
"Raise the Yellow Dragon Banner, raise the Yellow Dragon Banner, identify our army, look at the point when attacking, don't dig us to the bottom of the river." Park Cheng finally came to his senses and ordered loudly.
Hearing this, Yang Yunhua was also like a life-saving straw, "Yes, yes, raise our national flag and let them watch the fight." ”
Pu Cheng turned his head to look at Yang Yunhua and smiled: "Boss, this is just better than nothing, next, we can only wait for the arrangement of fate, you find a place to hide, I'll go up and take a look." He pointed to the bucket at the top of the boat, "You can see it more clearly." ”
Don't look at Pu Cheng without a leg, but climbing the mast, it is very sharp, three or two strokes like a monkey, climbed to the highest place, this time, he can see more clearly.
It's a good thing, it's a nest out! For Pu Cheng, who was born as the first mate of the navy warship, he has a natural sensitivity to the ships of the navy, and just by looking at the number of large warships, he knows that the inland water division of the Han army is attacking with all his might.
"Commander, there are a lot of Chinese merchant ships flying the Yellow Dragon Flag in Taihe Wharf, what should I do? They fought like the enemy, and the civilian ships were crowded together, and it was very likely that they would be injured by mistake. "At the front, the captain of a building ship sent a message to the command ship through the flag.
A moment later, he got an echo with only four words: "The attack begins!" ”
The captain immediately understood, and shouted: "Prepare to attack!" After a moment's hesitation, he continued: "Aim some, try not to accidentally injure the merchant ship flying the Yellow Dragon Flag." ”
With a roar, thick smoke rose up, and a solid iron bullet flew towards Taihe Wharf with a huge roar. (To be continued.) )
