Chapter 539: Above the Sea, Mysterious Ships
Just when Cao Cao and the others were entangled in speculating whether there was a navy under Qin Feng's rule.
Gan Ning on this side had already taken nine thousand sailors and abundant supplies to the depths of the sea.
It is worth mentioning that these ships also have a lot of agricultural tools and seeds of various plants.
It seems that he has already grasped the grasp of winning Dongying, which can not be described as unconfident and not rampant...
"Where are we now? Is there a deviation from the direction? ”
Gan Ning, who was at the bow of the ship, looked at the vast sea in front of him, and the dazzling sunlight refracted through the sea.
kept meeting Gan Ning's eyes, making him squint his eyes slightly.
"The direction is not too far off, according to our driving route, it is estimated that there will be two days to reach Dongying..."
Tian Feng took out a small watch in his arms, and saw that a magnetic needle was going straight to the south without a little deviation.
"That's good, what's going on with the soldiers now?"
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Gan Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but soon became worried again...
Compared with the deviation of the course, the malaria at sea is the real killing without blinking.
During this period of sea navigation, many soldiers have developed malaria.
Because the early exploration of the sea was a small force, there were not many soldiers on a ship, and the ships were relatively small.
Therefore, the incidence of malaria can be said to be very small, which also causes Tian Feng and Gan Ning to overestimate the incidence of malaria.
It was only now that the army was officially dispatched to discover the horror of malaria at sea.
"The situation is not very good now, all the ships are showing symptoms of malaria to a greater or lesser extent."
Tian Feng also frowned and said worriedly, "But fortunately, the lord's method works, although malaria still exists, the soldiers are just uncomfortable at most." ”
As Tian Feng spoke, he took out a yellow-orange orange orange from the wooden barrel on the side.
"These oranges are not suitable for growing at this time, but they taste good."
"yes, I didn't expect these oranges to be able to cure that terrible malaria, I really didn't expect it."
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he grabbed an orange peel and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"But I always feel that orange peel and oranges work a lot better when eaten together."
Looking at the corners of Gan Ning's juice flowing from his mouth, Tian Feng shook his head helplessly.
He would have been surprised by Gan Ning's behavior like this, if it weren't for Qin Feng's immediate stopping.
I'm afraid Gan Ning has already asked the soldiers to eat oranges in his way.
"General Gan, you don't actually have any effect like this, but it will make the orange more difficult to swallow."
Although he knew that Gan Ning would not listen, Tian Feng still said seriously to Gan Ning.
Tian Feng said as he slowly opened the orange in his hand and ate it with relish.
"Strategist, come and try it, this effect is really good."
Looking at Tian Feng, who was eating politely, Gan Ning said to Tian Feng with a serious face.
At this time, suddenly a soldier ran to Tian Feng and Gan Ning's side.
"General, military division, General Zhou Tai's warship sent a signal that seems to have been discovered."
"Hmm
? What will happen in the middle of the sea now? Not necessarily what went wrong with the warship? ”
Tian Feng said to Gan Ning with some doubts.
"These ships were all built at the same time, and they've been in the water for so long, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any problems."
Gan Ning frowned and said solemnly, "It's useless for us to guess here now, it's better to go and see what happened earlier." ”
Tian Feng nodded slightly after hearing this, and then the two began to walk in the direction of Zhou Tai's warship.
I saw that the flagbearer on Zhou Tai's warship began to wave constantly, and the flagbearer on Gan Ning's side also began to respond to the other party continuously.
"How? What's going on with Zhou Tai? ”
Gan Ning looked at the constantly waving flags on the opposite side, and asked a soldier beside him.
"General, General Zhou sent news that he seemed to see the shadow of a ship not far from the east, and I don't know if there is a situation, so I suggest that we stop the ship and investigate."
The soldier said respectfully to Gan Ning.
"What found the ship? Is this really possible? ”
After Gan Ning heard the soldier's words, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
"General, this is not impossible, there have been examples of overseas savages coming to visit Xianqin before, but no one believed it at that time."
In the face of Gan Ning's disbelief, Tian Feng was much easier to accept.
"Even if some people believed it at the time, it was the adaptation of these things into stories one by one that became the existence of the wild history....."
"But it's still two days away from Dongying! How could it be...."
Gan Ning still said incredulously, "How dare they with such choppy waves..."
"General, do you know that eyes can sometimes deceive you, maybe we've picked up a lot of speed, or we've found a shortcut..."
Tian Feng touched his beard and said seriously, and a touch of firmness appeared in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that Tian Feng was so firm, Gan Ning asked Tian Feng with some doubts.
"Of course, it's time to stop and explore, and it's best to let General Zhou personally lead people, otherwise I'm afraid that ordinary soldiers won't be able to resist the ambush on the other side."
Tian Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he spoke, and finally a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Pass my order for General Zhou to immediately take the soldiers to check, and after an hour must return, all ships will immediately anchor and stop!"
Gan Ning saw that Tian Feng was like this, so he simply didn't hesitate and said directly to the standard-bearer beside him.
The flag in the flag bearer's hand also danced rapidly, and the sound of a huge falling water also sounded, and the sails on the ship were also retracted.
The ships that were still moving fast slowed down at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Ropes began to fly between the ships, and with the efforts of everyone, several huge warships were finally firmly fixed together, forming a man-made sea land.
And when all this was done, Zhou Tai was already speeding towards the east with dozens of small boats.
"General, why do we stop? Could it be that something has happened? ”
Soon Jiang Qin came to Tian Feng and Gan Ning to wonder
asked.
"Our soldiers are not in a very good situation now, although they are suppressed by oranges, but they must reach the land as soon as possible."
"General Jiang doesn't need to be in such a hurry, General Zhou Tai found out ....."
Looking at Jiang Qintianfeng, who was eager, he explained slowly.
After some explanation, Jiang Qin calmed down, "Could this situation be a mirage?" Before we left, my lord said that there would be a mirage. ”
"That's why General Zhou went to investigate, if this is a shortcut, it will save us a lot of time."
Tian Feng touched his beard and slowly looked in the direction where Zhou Tai left, his eyes were full of hope.
"Anyway, it's just an hour, bring me a fishing rod, the old man has never been to such a deep sea to catch fish."
In the end, Tian Feng's whole person began to get excited, which made people a little suspicious.
The purpose of his stop was actually to fish, not to find the so-called shortcut.
"Get me a harpoon! Fishing is no fun! ”
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the cabin, there was still a lot of preparation to go to the sea to fish.
And Tian Feng also followed briskly while humming a small song, leaving Jiang Qin alone standing on top of the vest and stunned.
"General, what are we going to do now?"
The soldiers on the side asked Jiang Qin with some hesitation, their faces full of speculation and uneasiness.
"What? Of course, it's time to do something...."Jiang Qin sighed and said helplessly.
If it is not surprising, these daily affairs are handled by themselves again.....
Soon, Gan Ning and Tian Feng also walked out of the cabin "fully armed".
"Please be careful when the general goes to sea."
Tian Feng looked at Gan Ning, who was wearing a pair of shorts beside him, and said with some concern.
"Strategist, don't worry, I'll be careful."
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he took the harpoon handed by the soldier on the side and ran towards the side of the boat quickly.
I saw Gan Ning leap violently and form a beautiful arc in mid-air, falling towards the sea.
Seeing this, Tian Feng could only shake his head helplessly, and went to the other side of the boat to start his fishing time.
And the soldiers on the deck also began to enjoy this quiet time leisurely, and everyone was doing what they liked the most.
The sharp energy that originally rose to the sky also melted away like ice and snow under this warm eye.
As time passed little by little, Zhou Tai also drove the dozens of boats and began to return the same way.
Just as Zhou Tai's ships were about to approach those warships, there was a sudden ordinary sound, and an arm suddenly stretched out on the rough sea.
In his hand he was holding a harpoon one foot long, on which he was also wearing several fat sea fish.
This sudden change suddenly startled Zhou Tai and the others, and the weapons in their hands also pointed at the harpoon that suddenly appeared.
"Okay, you Zhou Tai still want to fight me, can't you?"
I saw Gan Ning suddenly jump up from the sea and sit on the boat, and the dense droplets of water continued to fall down Gan Ning's hair.....
