Volume 3 The Spring and Autumn of the Pencil Chapter 450 One to Five
Yun Qing saw that Mu Hong didn't speak, smiled, and continued: "So the other party will definitely catch up, but I don't know how many people come!" ”
"If I continue to stay in Xicheng, then Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi will definitely not act rashly, because he doesn't know what our strength is in Xicheng, but now that we are leaving with you, in the cognition of the two of them, that is, my power in Xicheng is not strong, so they will choose to flee, and they will definitely bring their Liao men over to get a piece of the pie." Yun Qing analyzed calmly.
"So, they're going to send someone to hunt us down this time?" From Mu Hong's face, he couldn't see his current inner fluctuations, and when he said this, both his tone and application were very calm, as if he was not pressed by many debts.
"Definitely! And it's hard to say that they brought their two hundred Liao people, as for Jing Zhe's side, I estimate that the number of people brought is only higher than those two Liao people, and it must be two or three hundred people! Yun Qing nodded and said.
"In that case, wouldn't there be enough four or five hundred people to come after us?" Rao is Mu Hong is used to seeing danger, and he can't help but be a little depressed at this time. He knew that ship warfare was the most difficult mode of battle to win more with less.
Especially now that they are combined, there are only seventy-two people in the full battle, and the Jing Zhe who was discussed just now has four or five hundred people, which is not three or four times, but six or seven times the number of people.
One person, one against three is already considered powerful, and to be able to pick one against five, Mu Hong believes that among these people, only Liu Baiqing and Yun Qing may be able to do it, and the others are difficult!
Thinking of this, Mu Hong was already a little depressed.
Yun Qing saw it in her eyes, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face: "What's the matter, there is no confidence?" ”
Mu Hong looked at Yun Qing, who was still smiling on his face, and his spirit was not very high: "Why, Commander Yun, aren't you worried at all?" ”
"The problem is that it's useless to worry!" Yun Qing blocked Mu Hong speechless with a single sentence. yes, it's completely useless to worry about it now.
"My son-in-law said that anything is possible, and until the last moment, never give up lightly!" Yun Qing said this sonorously and powerfully, but it infected Mu Hong.
"That's right! Cloud Commander, you're right, no matter what, you have to fight for it! Mu Hong gritted his teeth and said with a resolute look in his eyes.
He is a hero himself, and his personality is not the kind of person who is indecisive and timid and afraid of things, but because he is the leader of the Cao Gang, he is full of gangsterism and blood, and now he has also been aroused by Yun Qing's blood, even if he dies, he will bite off the other party's flesh before he will give up!
After half an hour of production, they made all the crossbow arrows in their hands, and roughly calculated, a total of more than 2,000 simple crossbow arrows were made, plus the original twenty crossbow arrows with iron arrow clusters and arrow feathers per person, which together were a little more than 3,000.
According to seventy-two people, basically everyone can get forty crossbow arrows, which has taken a big lead for the next ship battle, but the range of crossbow arrows is not very long, and it must wait until the opponent's ship is close to have lethality.
At this time, everyone who had been taken to the stern of the merchant ship to practice crossbow shooting also returned.
"How? How's the practice? Liu Baiqing asked.
"It's okay! At least it can hit the approximate range of the target, and if the opponent is crowded on the deck, it will definitely be a black press, and if you shoot it directly, you can always hit someone. Helian Qishan first gave a military salute like Yun Qing and Liu Baiqing, stood upright and then replied.
"But I didn't let them continue to practice, if they practice too much in a short period of time, when the time comes to really fight, if the hands become weak, it will be more than worth the loss."
Yun Qing nodded, "It's a good arrangement!" Yun Qing turned his head to look in the direction of Xicheng and them, and suddenly found that in his sight, at the junction of water and sky, there seemed to be two black dots, and he let out an exclamation.
Everyone was attracted by Yun Qing's reaction, and they also looked in that direction. "Looks like two ships are catching up?" This is the voice of Lei Laohu, he has also been out of the ship, he has been the escort of the Caoyun merchant ship, and he has seen a lot, so he guessed when he saw two black spots.
Yun Qing nodded, and then in the incomprehensible gaze of Mu Hong, Lei Laohu and others, three times five divided by two very quickly climbed onto the wooden pole of the sail, Mu Hong and Lei Laohu showed a sudden expression, standing high and naturally looking far away, but now the two boats are still a little far away from here, and no matter how far they look, they can't see clearly, so it is actually useless to climb on the pole, this is their inner thoughts.
However, under the gaze of everyone, Yun Qing firmly hooked the boat pole with both feet and one hand to stabilize his body, and then took out a small copper pipe from his arms with the other hand and put it in front of him. Except for the people who came out of the Taibai secret camp who knew that this was the Thousand Miles Divine Mirror, the people on Mu Hong's side didn't know what this small copper pipe was and what it was for.
But it's not good to ask anything at this time, after all, the other party is still on the pole of the boat a few feet high, and if you accidentally fall down because the other party is distracted by the question, it will be a crime.
After Yun Qing came down, before Mu Hong could ask, Yun Qing said with great certainty: "There are five ships in total, two in front, and the other three in the back, if you guess correctly, it should be Jing Zhe and they are chasing after you." ”
"This?" Mu Hong subconsciously raised a question, but then shut up and stopped talking.
Yun Qing didn't get angry either, after all, he still couldn't see anything in his line of sight now, only two black dots could be seen, and it was normal for Mu Hong to have questions.
Yun Qing handed Mu Hong the small copper pipe that he had just climbed onto the pole and took out of his arms, and smiled and motioned for him to use this in front of him to look at the two small black dots again.
Although Mu Hong was quite puzzled, he still took the small copper pipe, and according to Yun Qing's instructions, he put the small end of the copper pipe in front of his eyes, and then aimed at the two black dots to watch.
As soon as Mu Hong put it in front of him, he put down the copper pipe again, turned around and looked at Yun Qing with a shocked expression, and his eyes were full of that kind of incredible look.
Yun Qing smiled and raised her hand to signal the other party to continue looking. Mu Hong couldn't be shocked, he picked up the copper pipe again and put it in front of him to look at it carefully, and read it in his mouth: "It's really two ships, and you can vaguely see that there are many people standing on the deck of the ship, ah, and there are not three behind it, there are indeed five ships in total!" ”
Mu Hong said a little excitedly, after all, this copper pipe had never been seen before, and he was able to see so far, and asked, "Commander Yun, ...... this thing?"
"What's your name, isn't it? It's called the Thousand Miles Mirror, how about it? Although it is not as exaggerated as being able to see thousands of miles away, it is no problem at all to see a place four or five miles away, and it really deserves the word Divine Mirror! Yun Qing looked at Mu Hong and said with a hint of a smile.
Mu Hong nodded, obviously agreeing with what Yun Qing said, but this bronze mirror is worthy of the name of the divine mirror. On the side, De Lei looked at Mu Hong with blank eyes, he hadn't personally experienced the specific effect of this Thousand Miles Divine Mirror, but being able to see things four or five miles away was worthy of the title of Divine Mirror.
Mu Hong glanced at Yun Qing, held the Thousand Lili Divine Mirror and raised his hand to signal and ask the latter, can you show Lei Laohu, after all, it is someone else's thing, he knows that this thing is a treasure, so without asking Yun Qing's opinion, he does not dare or can't show this thing to Lei Laohu.
Yun Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Show them it, but pay attention to hold it steady, don't fall, this thing is expensive." ”
Lei Laohu took the lead in taking the bronze mirror in Mu Hong's hand, and according to the posture and method used by Yunqing and the gang leader just now, he put it in front of him and watched it, and said excitedly while looking at it: "I really saw it, two ships in front and three ships in the back!" It's amazing, this bronze mirror is really worthy of its name of 'Thousand Miles Mirror'! ”
After Lei Laohu finished reading it, he passed it to Li Sanliang on the side, and then passed it on in turn, and almost everyone used this clairmile magic mirror to observe the situation behind.
In the Divine Mirror, the small black dots in the distance have turned into two clear merchant ships, and behind these two merchant ships, there are three merchant ships following far behind, which means that at least five ships are now coming to chase and kill them.
