Wang Qi walked out of the cabin, came behind Xiao Cuo, and said respectfully, "Uncle." ”

Holding back the anger in his heart, Xiao Cuo's face was calm, he looked back at Wang Qi and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Qi seemed to feel that Xiao Cuo's unkindness was tight, and his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The old sailor on the ship just now said that I am afraid that the wind will rise at sea tonight, and it will be difficult to travel at night, and the wind and waves will be urgent. ”

Xiao Cuo looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he saw a thick black cloud rising from the sky, and the speed visible to the naked eye rushed towards this side.

The most feared thing on the sea is the strong wind, once the wind and waves are too strong, the most dangerous, often a wave set off by the strong wind can shoot the ship into pieces......

I silently calculated the speed and time in my heart, and felt that even if the sailor heard the news at this time and turned south, it would take a night to catch up with this fleet, and besides, the wind and waves were high, even if it was a sailor's warship, it had to find a leeward harbor to anchor and station, and was not worried about being caught up.

When he nodded, he said: "Order the fleet to stop near the nearest island, all ships must be careful of the wind and waves, the goods on board must not be lost, and wait until the Ming Dynasty is fine, and then set off." ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Qi responded and hurriedly ran back to the cabin.

A moment later, a sailor crawled along the mast to the top of the fixed chamber, waved the two red flags in his hand, and waved the flags.

When the flagship changed course and sailed to the nearest island, the cargo ships behind followed one by one, lined up in a long column on the vast sea, cleaving the waves and cutting the waves, which was spectacular.

It's just that these seagoing ships were built by Jiangnan Shipyard to load more cargo, with a deeper draft and a more stable hull, but the resistance is too great, and even if soft sails more than double the width of the hull are used, the speed is not as fast as ordinary warships.

By the time the clouds covered the vast sea, the fleet was still dozens of miles away from the nearest island.

The whole sea surface is like a pot of boiling hot soup, the wind and waves are foaming at the water, and the sea ship is like a drop in the ocean, drifting with the waves in the undulating wave peaks, carrying floats and sinks.

The experienced captain and helmsman immediately ordered all the ships to cease sailing, and anchored their bows against the wind, fearing that the whole fleet would capsize and fall silent before they could reach the safe haven on the island......

In an instant, it's rainstorm!

It was as if a giant dragon was rolling and stirring rampant at the bottom of the sea, and the entire sea surface was boiling, and the power of heaven and earth was terrifying!

Wang Qi trembled and looked at the furious scene at sea with frightened eyes, only feeling that he was like an ant in the rolling river, his life was in the hands of the gods, and he could crush this huge fleet to pieces with a flip of his palm......

He trembled, his face was pale, and his intestines were blue with remorse!

I knew that the sea was terrifying, let alone behaving well in front of the Xiao family, even if I took a knife across his neck, I would never go to sea!

The greatest power in the world is as vulnerable as a dead leaf in the face of the power of heaven and earth......

Xiao Cuo is leisurely, sitting opposite Bao Xi and the two, making a pot of tea and chatting, the wind and rain outside the window, the fragrance of tea in the room, I laugh and talk from myself, quite a bit of the style of Wei and Jin celebrities.

As for Xie Wenhua, the descendant of the Xie family of Chen County, he had already knelt on the ground and vomited in the dark with a spittoon......

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the wind gradually became lighter, but the dark clouds became thicker and thicker, obscuring the sky, as if from day to night in an instant, and the visibility was very low.

The raindrops of beans crackled on the window, and the two young people, Wang Qi and Xie Wenhua, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the floor with weak hands and feet, their eyes blank and sluggish.

Just now they almost thought that they had buried themselves at the bottom of the sea and fed fish and shrimp, since they were young, how could they have seen such a heavenly might?

Xiao Cuo glanced at the two of them disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "You young people are really not successful, men and women, since Mount Tai collapsed in front of you and your face has not changed, just the wind and waves can make you so lost and depressed, what can you do in the future?" ”

Bao Xi smiled and looked at the two people who were humiliated and embarrassed, and turned around: "Why should Brother Xiao be harsh? The first time I went to sea, everyone was very similar, how could we not be frightened in the face of the divine power of heaven and earth? If you experience more in the future, you will naturally be bold. ”

Xiao Cuo snorted, and didn't say anything sarcastic, but in his heart, he didn't want to see these two pampered gentlemen.

Among the young generation of the Tang Dynasty, there are many people who disagree with Fang Jun.

Fang Jun was favored at a young age, and his position was high, even though everyone was envious and jealous, but why did these young people never think about it, people in the Western Regions could calmly wait for the opportunity to fight back in the face of the charge of the Turkic wolf cavalry, and on the sea, they could lead the fleet to sweep across the seven seas and expand their territory?

Thinking about it this way, he gradually felt that his father wanted to marry his daughter to Fang Jun as a concubine.

Although the status of the concubine is a little low, Fang Jun is indeed promising, and he is the most outstanding figure among the younger generation, and he has not insulted his own Xiao identity......

Just as he was in his trance, he suddenly heard a sharp shout from outside the cabin, followed by two or three sounds, and became more and more urgent.

Bao Xi frowned and said, "What happened?" ”

Wang Qi, who was sitting on the ground, struggled to stand up, stepped forward and opened the hatch, and a puddle of rain was poured in by the wind in an instant, followed by a terrible shout: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Enemy attack ......"

Xiao Cuo Huo Ran got up, took three steps and two steps to grab the window, and looked into the distance.

In the distance between the water and the sky, a black pressure of a dark cloud swept against the surface of the sea, and when you looked closely, it was countless large and small sea ships and leeches rushing madly, so much that they almost covered half of the sea!

Xiao Cuo's face turned pale, and he shouted wildly: "Wave the flag, and all ships meet the enemy!" ”

Some sailors quickly climbed to the mast, frantically waved the red flag in their hands, and waved the flag to meet the enemy at the flotilla anchored in the wind and rain.

On such a vast sea, there can be such a number of warships attacking, except for the sailors, it is the pirate. Either way, it means that this fleet of several Jiangnan clans will face a huge crisis!

If it's a sailor, it's a little better, just honestly disarm and surrender, and even the people and ships will be captured and confiscated, but if it's a pirate......

Either you die or I die!

Once defeated, the murderous pirates will not spare the people on board, except for a small part left as slaves, and the rest will be mercilessly slaughtered!

You can't run away, how can a cargo ship with a huge hull and a deep draft outrun a warship as light as a swallow? If you want to live, you can only fight to the death!

"Bang!"

The hatch was knocked open, and the old sailor who was in charge of the ship rushed in, his body was already wet with rain, and the rain on his face flowed down his cheeks, and when he saw Xiao Cuo, he panicked and shouted: "Childe, it's a pirate!" ”

Xiao Cuo's heart sank suddenly, and he asked sharply, "Can you confirm it?" ”

He didn't know if he wanted to be a sailor or a pirate......

If it is a sailor, the entire fleet will have no defense, only obediently tie his hands and capture, the sailor will never kill innocents indiscriminately, but all the value of the goods will be confiscated by the sailor, and he will not be able to go back to explain to his family! If it is a pirate, then the life is in danger, the pirates in the East China Sea have always been known for their brutality, plundering merchant ships rarely leave a living, but the advantage is that with the private soldiers from various families on each ship, there is still a fighting power, if you can defeat the pirates, not only can the cargo be saved, he will be famous with the victory!

The old sailor wiped the rain from his face and said, "There must be pirates, the ships of the sailors are all new types of shearheads, faster and more flexible, and the attacking enemy has all kinds of ships, and most of them are old sea ships!" ”

Xiao Cuo's spirits perked up, and he ordered loudly: "Very good! Give Lao Tzu a banner, ruthlessly defeat the incoming pirates, as long as you can win, everyone will be rewarded consistently, two beautiful maids! ”

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, so let's fight the pirates!

The old sailor didn't have much excitement, his wrinkled face was full of panic, and he said sadly: "Childe, I'm afraid I can't beat it, based on the old experience, the total number of enemy ships that come to attack is not less than two hundred, if all of them are full, the number should be between four or five thousand......"

After a pause, he looked at Xiao Cuo's gradually pale face in despair, and said with a trembling mouth: "If there is no accident, it should be all the pirates in the East China Sea who have flocked to it......"

Xiao Cuo was like being devoured by thunder, and his heart sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant.
