Chapter 344: You Don't Have to Eat
As Zhao Yu expected, the whale that surfaced no longer dived into the water immediately after inhaling as before, and the water column that erupted from the back hole was getting lower and lower, obviously because his physical strength had been greatly reduced. He commanded three dragon ships to approach one after another www.biquge.info prepare to attack again, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"Your Majesty, don't shoot again, or the fish skin will be useless!" Seeing that His Majesty was about to give the order to shoot again, Zheng Yong stopped with a sad face.
"We're eating meat, what's the use of the skin?" Zhao Yu turned his face and asked.
"Your Majesty, that fish skin is also a good thing, and if it is made of nitrate, it is a high-quality material for making water and scabbards, and it can be exchanged for a lot of silver if it is not sold at the worst." Zheng Yong said.
"Oh, and there's a use for it!" Zhao Yu knew that the water was a modern diving suit, but in ancient times, there was no rubber and could only be made of leather, and there was a team of water ghosts in his own guard camp, and he was still naked. Thinking of this, he changed his mind, "Order the bow guns of each ship to be reequipped with hooks and listen to the order to shoot!" ”
This hook is an iron anchor with multiple barbs, with a long rope behind it, after launching, the iron claw hooks the side of the enemy ship, and then tightens the rope with a winch to drag the enemy ship, and then carry out a gang jump operation to capture the enemy ship. Now Zhao Yu wants to keep the skin of the fish from damage, and he can't let the whale escape again, he wants to catch the whale with a hook and continue to consume its physical strength to carry out the final kill.
"Warrior launches!" Entering the best firing distance, Zhao Yu ordered the boat to shoot first so as not to interfere with each other. With Zhao Hao's order, the two bow guns of the Warrior were fired one after another, and an iron anchor dragged a long rope and smashed it on the whale's back, and then bounced away, but it could not be hung.
"Oh, alas!" Zheng Yong patted the roof of the cabin and shouted.
"Hung up!" The second cannon fell on the head of the whale, I don't know where it hanged, the whale was frightened and rushed forward, and the barb pierced deeply into the flesh, Zhao Yu saw clearly and excitedly.
"Volley!" How painful was the thick thumb barb pierced into the flesh, the whale accelerated forward to get rid of the iron anchor, but the dragon boat was dragged by a shock, Zhao Yu shook his head, and hurriedly ordered the other two ships to quickly fire their guns to relieve their pressure.
'Whoosh, whoosh...... Seeing the Warrior being dragged across the sea, the other two ships did not dare to slack off, and hurried to launch after seeing the launch order. The Brave hit and hooked the whale's tail fin. The Brave went **** luck, two shots and two hits. This is good, the whale that turned into a pain dragged the three dragon boats and galloped, but Zhao Hao didn't feel the pleasure of controlling this huge sea beast at all, he felt that the wind in his ears was swishing, if they were faster, they would fly like kites.
"Valiant reel!"
"Brave Rope Down!"
"Zhang Hao, you ****** hurry up and tighten the rope!" …… The frightened and painful whale was churning in the sea, jumping out of the water for a while, diving into the water for a while, and rolling a few times in the water for a while, which frightened Zhao Hao, and if he didn't get it right, he had to let him drag the boat into the water. But he also knew that this was the whale's last struggle, and he was a little reluctant to let it go, so he could only control the fleet by retracting the rope and adjusting the speed and direction, so as not to collide with each other.
"Damn, why are you still getting more and more energetic? Load your ships with guns and arrows and shoot freely! "This has been making trouble at sea for more than half an hour for the sake of Zhang Pi, and the sky will be dark immediately, but this whale's blood has flowed for so long, but it is not dead, Zhao Yu said in a hurry.
Everyone was already frightened by this big guy's toss, and His Majesty ordered to aim and shoot immediately, and they all greeted the giant whale whenever they had the opportunity, whether it was a bow gun or a gunwale. was so angry that Zheng Yong scolded these 'losers' for turning a good skin into a sieve, and they couldn't ask for it. But after a burst of shooting, the giant whale finally exhausted its last strength and floated on the surface of the water no longer moving, and the surrounding water was dyed red.
"Dead, right?" Zhao Yu touched Zheng Yong beside him and said.
"Your Majesty, it should be dead." Zheng Yong scratched his scalp and was not sure about the authenticity.
"It can't move anyway, lean over and take a look!" Zhao Yu looked at it for a while, and seeing that the whale's back was no longer angry, he touched his chin and said.
The three boats cautiously leaned up, first shot with bows and arrows, and then stabbed with spears, the whale no longer reacted, and everyone confirmed that it was finally dead, and immediately there was jubilation, after all, the big fish that was longer than the dragon boat was killed by them, how to say it is also a matter of pride. And at this time, Lu Shicheng and they dared to approach, and they also called it when they saw it, and they walked around when they saw whales in the past, lest they would anger the overlord in the sea and lose their lives, but now they have become their trophies, and they will soon become meat in the pot and eat in the stomach.
"You don't deserve meat!" Zhao Yu yelled hatefully at Lu Shicheng and Du Hu, the two guys who had been in a long line, and then left the embarrassed two and didn't say a word to them again. ordered the whales to be tied up with ropes, tied to the sterns of the three ships, hung up the sails, and dragged the booty away, Liang Shicheng and Du Hu stared at each other for a while, and they could only follow back to the camp in a gloomy way......
…………
The return of Zhao Hao's fleet to the port immediately caused a sensation, and people came to watch this rare giant beast in the sea. This also alarmed the ministers of the court, and they also organized a group to visit, and it was not lively to chant poems and compose endowments. But the emperor didn't understand the amorous feelings, he wanted meat, so he dragged the whale to the shallows to peel the skin and remove the meat, and peel the bones and scrape the oil. After a short time, the mountain-like giant beast had turned into a pile of minced meat and dry bones, which greatly disappointed a group of rioters who were ready to hold a poetry party to boost the morale of the army and the people, but the emperor couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only return in defeat.
And Zhao Yu didn't need them to sing praises for themselves, a whale got a total of more than 20,000 catties of meat and 10,000 catties of fish oil after slaughtering. Except for some sent to the palace for the queen mother to taste, all of them were given to the army. Of course, Wang De, who is in charge of this matter, also knows the level of his eyebrows, needless to say, the good meat is left to his family; The second-class ones were distributed to the forbidden army in front of the palace, and the number was extremely sufficient, and the rest were the Yingzhou army, and the ministers of the court and the central government were only one pound per person, even Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu were no exception.
The army has not smelled the smell of meat for a long time, and after the distribution of the hand, all the troops will cook the meat in the pot overnight, and for a time the island is full of fires, and the smell of meat is wafting in the wind, and they all miss the benefits of His Majesty. However, there are also those who can't be eaten, that is, Lu Shicheng's subordinates and others, they only have a smell of it. And Du Hu and the two faced each other with bitter faces, listening to the whispered complaints and cursing of the sergeants outside the tent, smelling the aroma of meat and looking at the two bowls of green vegetables on the table It was really difficult to swallow, and his heart was full of bitterness, feeling that he had missed something......
