Chapter 121: How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son?
Coastal, sunny, blue sea and blue sky, rolling waves, lapping on the beach from time to time.
In the middle of the sea, a behemoth is riding the wind and waves.
The people on the deck performed their duties, and Fusu stood on the watchtower, looking at the magnificent sea, his expression full of intoxication.
"Raise the sails."
"The direction of the wind."
"Twist."
"Lowering the sails."
"Keep an eye on it, if something goes wrong, report it immediately."
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong were on the deck, commanding sailors and soldiers, and constantly repeating training.
For more than a year, they have trained batch after batch of sailors and soldiers, just to prepare the fleet for the future sea.
With the passage of time, they first went from the near sea, to the far sea, and then to the deep sea, and continued to explore, which can be regarded as a slight experience.
In addition, these naval officers and sailors are already building ship soldiers, and they are very quick to get familiar with.
"Let's take a break!"
Fusu came back to his senses, stood on the watchtower, looked at the sweaty and shirtless people below, and spoke.
"Whoa."
Many people sat on the deck on the spot, rubbing their palms with calluses.
Although the sail rope has a hinch pile made by a great master, even so, it is very laborious to lift the heavy sail, and it takes several brave men to work hard at the same time.
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong walked towards the watchtower, and after walking up, the two bowed to Fusu's back and said, "Eldest son." ”
"It's hard work, sit down!"
Fusu turned around, without the slightest shelf on his body, and said gently.
"Chief Xie Gongzi."
The two bowed again, and then sat on either side of the watchtower.
Fusu also sat down, looked at the two of them and said, "We've been out to sea for half a month, and it's time to return." ”
"Eldest son, we should not be far from the island on the chart, don't we look for it again?"
Meng Zhan hesitated and asked.
"Although there are nautical charts, compasses, and watching the stars and celestial phenomena to guide the way, but the sea voyage, the difference is a millimeter, and it is a thousand miles, so let's return!"
Fusu sighed, his father placed great trust on him, but unfortunately the sea is vast, and trying to search for unmarked islands is tantamount to panning for gold in the desert.
"Boom ......"
At this moment, in the distant sky, thunder sounded.
The bright blue sky soon darkened.
Everyone's face changed, they were trained, they learned to recognize celestial phenomena, they went to sea, and they were most afraid of storms.
And this celestial phenomenon, in the training manual, is the prelude to the storm.
Looking at the dark skyline in the distance, lightning and thunder, Fusu said worriedly: "Quick, raise the sails, if you are caught in the storm, I am afraid it will not be good." ”
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong also had solemn faces, arched their hands, and immediately shouted: "All return to their positions." ”
"Raise the sails."
A drum sounded, and a flag bearer immediately waved the flag.
The canvas that fell from the 12-meter-high mast began to rise slowly with the joint efforts of hundreds of sailors, and the pushers twisted the sail wood.
"The rocker is in position and pushes with all his might."
Meng Zhan looked stern and shouted loudly.
The flag-bearer changed his flag again, and the trumpeter on the side blew his horn.
There were huge long wooden handles at the bottom of each side of the big ship, and in groups of four, they began to shake the giant wood that went deep into the sea.
There were 60 stalks of oars, 30 on each side, and hundreds of rockers clinging to the oars naked.
As the generals gave the order, they shouted neat slogans and shook the wooden oars in unison.
Obviously trained, very familiar, not the slightest jerky.
"The wind is northeast, urgent."
A windwatcher opened his voice and reported loudly.
"Spin the sail."
As the wind howled, the sea level had begun to surge.
The huge ship also began to sway with the rough waves.
It was as if in the middle of the sea, a huge sea beast was gushing out.
Black clouds covered the sky.
Darkness covers the sea, as far as the eye can see.
The worry on Fusu's face became heavier and heavier, and it seemed to be very bad.
In the midst of the fierce wind and waves, the giant ship broke the waves, like a big fish, pushing at full speed.
But no matter how fast it was, the black-pressed skyline in the distance was getting closer and closer.
"Hurry up, or you'll be caught up in the storm."
Fusu said anxiously.
"Eldest son, this is already the fastest speed, we are sailing with the wind."
Bai Hong's face was also pale, and he looked at the black skyline behind him from time to time, getting closer and closer, and his heart fell to the bottom.
"Can you get rid of it?"
Fusu's voice was a little lonely.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, the speed of the storm is much faster than ours, I'm afraid it won't take long for it to catch up with us and swallow us."
Meng Zhan said in a deep voice.
"Is that so?"
Fusu smiled bitterly and sighed deeply in his heart.
The horror of the storm is far from being understood by mortals.
Anything that dares to stand in its way will be torn apart.
"Since you can't escape, let's fight with it!"
Bai Hong said sharply, with a fierce expression.
"Fight?"
Fu Su frowned, revealing a puzzled look.
"Your Majesty's Storm Handbook for us records that when you sail at sea and encounter a storm, if you can't get away from the storm in time, there is only one way."
Meng Zhan understood what Bai Hong meant, and he also calmed down.
"You mean to go up against the wind?"
Fusu hesitated.
"Eldest son, give the order!"
"Eldest son, give the order!"
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong were also out of the way, and with a desperate posture, they asked Fusu for orders.
"Is there really no way?"
Fusu was hesitant by nature, and he couldn't make a complete decision in his heart for a while.
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
You must know that the distant storm is getting closer and closer, and in the storm manual given by His Majesty, it can be said clearly, if you can't get out of the storm, you have to run away with the wind, and there is only one end.
It was completely overturned, torn, and killed by a ship.
If you go up against the wind, there is still life to be found.
As long as you get through it and wait for the storm to leave, you can still fight for life.
No one wants to swim against the wind and dance with the storm unless they have to.
But they had no second option, and looking at the distant skyline, it wouldn't take a few moments at most for the storm to catch up.
"Eldest son, if you hesitate, we will surely die in the sea."
"Eldest son, Your Majesty's words will not be wrong."
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong persuaded Fusu again and again, and they spoke bitterly.
Yes, my father will not be wrong, he will definitely not be wrong.
Fusu's eyes lit up, and when he heard this, he immediately made a decision.
"Soldiers, if you don't want to die in the belly of the fish, then fight it to the death!"
"Warriors of the Great Qin Empire, turn the rudder, turn the bow of the ship, and go up to the wind!"
"How can you say that you have no clothes, you are in the same robe with your son, and you are a righteous man, so why be afraid of life and death?"
Fusu untied his cloak, threw it aside, and yelled loudly.
