Chapter 33: Blackbeard Li Kuiqi
There was no turning back from the bow, the first shot had been fired, and the five ships finally bared their fangs at the opposing fleet.
With the blessing of artillery, the traditional cold weapon combat method appeared vulnerable, and Baisha's fleet turned inferior and gained the upper hand.
The artillery fired in unison, sinking one of the opposing ships in an instant, bringing the battle to a brief halt.
Captain Beard's fleet stopped attacking, and Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong's fleet also stopped artillery attacks, after all, the artillery shells were one less than one, knocking on the mountain and shocking the tiger, and the deterrent purpose had been achieved.
Captain Beard looked at the sunken ship, and his heart was dripping blood, it was his heart's work.
The bearded captain with a gloomy face looked at the railing, hesitated to continue the attack, turned his head to look at the burning canvas that had been hit by the fire bomb, and was a little disheartened in his heart, and had to admit the fact that he could not compete with the artillery.
Captain Beard made a difficult decision to stop the attack.
The result of this defeat was difficult for him to bear, and he couldn't help but think of the fear of being dominated by the man in black, and then he thought of his wife and son who were taken away by the man in black.
"Captain, let's withdraw." Said the crew next to Captain Beard.
Captain Beard smiled dismally: "Withdraw? Where to retreat? Behind him is an abyss. ”
"My daughter is still on the other party's boat, I have already done something sorry for my daughter, and I can't leave her alone." The bearded captain's eyes were a little moist, and his clenched hands slowly loosened.
The white sand belt brought the crew out of the cabin and re-raised the brand new canvas.
Bai Sha made a gesture to Zheng Zhilong on the next boat, signaling that he was going to the other party's fleet.
The warship where Bai Sha was located moved, Du Ju was at the helm, and Bai Sha stood at the bow of the ship.
The crew was all on deck to pick up the pieces, and the cabins were empty, so it was undoubtedly dangerous to get into the range of the bearded captain's fleet.
Zheng Zhilong hurriedly let the remaining four warships slowly follow, protecting Baisha behind.
Captain Beard didn't react when he saw the white sands ship approaching, just quietly waited for the other party to arrive.
In a short time, the five warships surrounded Captain Beard's fleet, except for the warship piloted by Bai Sha, the guns of the other four warships were all aimed at Captain Beard's fleet to prevent the opponent from making any moves.
Zheng Zhilong came to Baisha's side in advance and said apologetically: "It's me who is indecisive. ”
Bai Sha grinned, his previous dissatisfaction had long since dissipated, and said slowly: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, our losses are limited, if we use artillery fire to attack at the beginning, we must not be directly scared away?" Now the initiative is in our hands. ”
Zheng Zhilong thought about the twists and turns, and said uncertainly: "Can you eat it?" ”
Bai Sha said: "They did not retreat, but waited for our arrival for only two reasons. The first was that the canvas of the boat in which their captain was located was burned and could not run; Either they don't dare to run, this attack is instigated, we have artillery, and it is a good choice to attach ourselves to us. ”
Zheng Zhilong frowned and said, "If they are instructed by others, wouldn't we be burning ourselves by eating them?" ”
Bai Sha nodded and said, "There is such a possibility, but this is my guess, what is the specific reason, and it will be revealed next." ”
Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong's warship was only a kilometer away from Captain Beard's ship.
Without waiting for Baisha to take the initiative to board the ship, Captain Beard had already taken the initiative to set up the pedal and take the initiative to board Baisha's warship.
At this time, the debris on the deck was almost cleaned up by the crew, and the bearded captain came to the white sand without any hindrance.
The two sides, who were still fighting a moment ago, are now meeting so simply.
"I'm convinced." These were the first words of Captain Beard.
The bearded captain was able to take the initiative to come to Baisha's side, which was already an act of disregard for the danger, and it was also a gesture of goodwill.
Bai Sha didn't speak, but asked Du Ju to sail towards Zheng Zhilong's warship.
The warship circled to its destination, during which several people on the ship did not speak, until when it was time to change to the warship, the bearded captain's feet trembled a little, and he knew that his daughter Li Qiao'er was wearing on this ship.
"Captain, my daughter...... Are you alright? This was Captain Beard's second sentence.
Bai Sha glanced at Captain Beard, tilted his head in Zheng Zhilong's direction and said, "He is the captain." ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "At least I didn't hurt her." ”
The three of them came to the deck, which seemed somewhat empty as the crew were in the cabin.
There was no figure of Li Qiaoer on the deck, and when I looked at Li Qiaoer's closed door, I thought that I was back in the room.
Zheng Zhilong looked at Captain Beard and said, "My name is Zheng Zhilong, and this one next to me is Bai Sha." The captain has not yet been consulted. ”
Captain Beard said slowly: "Li Kuiqi, people give the nickname Blackbeard." ”
Li Kuiqi, nicknamed Blackbeard, glanced around, and said with some embarrassment: "I guess the two of you know the relationship between me and Qiao'er, can I see my daughter." ”
Bai Sha pointed to Li Qiao'er's room and said, "Please." ”
At this moment, Li Qiaoer opened the door and slowly came to Zheng Zhilong's back, standing quietly like this, without looking at Li Kuiqi, as if they didn't know each other.
The blackbeard Li Kuiqi scratched his beard, and some words were not sure where to start.
Bai Shala said to Li Kuiqi before leaving Zheng Zhilong: "So many crew brothers are still waiting for you. ”
"I don't need it too long." Blackbeard Li Kuiqi said.
Bai Sha didn't disturb the father and daughter and walked aside.
Zheng Zhilong grabbed Bai Sha and said, "We get along too harmoniously. ”
Bai Sha smiled bitterly, pointed to the cabin under his feet and said: "It seems that I guessed correctly, Li Kuiqi didn't want to escape, as for the harmony you said, you must first have artillery to get along." ”
Zheng Zhilong glanced at Li Kuiqi not far away and said, "Will he really let us eat it willingly?" ”
Bai Sha shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'll wait until they finish talking." ”
Zheng Zhilong looked at Bai Sha's arm and said, "When are you going to pull it out?" ”
Only then did Bai Sha remember that there was an arrow with a broken tail stuck in his arm.
"I didn't feel any pain, I almost forgot about him." Bai Sha said that, he grabbed the tail of the arrow and pulled it out.
It's okay not to move, but as soon as I moved my arm, there was a heart-piercing pain, and Bai Sha grinned in pain.
"I'll go back to the house and take care of the wound first." Bai Sha covered his arms and went back to the house.
Zheng Zhilong watched Bai Sha leave, thinking that Bai Sha could really abuse his body......
After Bai Sha treated his wounds, the conversation between Li Kuiqi and Li Qiaoer was also coming to an end.
The two had already walked over, and this time Li Qiao'er did not return behind Zheng Zhilong, but stood next to her father Li Kuiqi.
Zheng Zhilong didn't pay much attention to this detail, but Bai Sha watched the father and daughter standing together, thinking of the previous incident of raising ashes, and felt strange in his heart.
Li Kuiqi looked apologetically at the wound that Bai Sha had treated.
Bai Sha waved his hand and said: "It is inevitable that the two armies will fight, so let's talk about business." ”
Li Kuiqi nodded and said, "Where to start?" ”
Bai Sha thought for a while and said, "First of all, let's talk about how you two fathers and daughters teamed up against us. ”
What Bai Sha said was too straightforward, and Li Qiaoer was ashamed after listening to it.
Li Kuiqi was also refreshed, and said bluntly: "When you set off from Quanzhou, someone told me that there is a treasure on this fleet, that is, a treasure map. ”
Bai Sha was vigilant in his heart, he found that the treasure map was all a coincidence, why did others know about it.
Bai Sha turned his head to look at Zheng Zhilong, who didn't speak, just shook his head.
Li Kuiqi paused for a moment and continued: "I know that the captain of this ship is Li Xu, but now I have no right to know why it is the two captains' fleet. I still know Li Xu, and I also know that the object of this transaction is Li Dan, and I don't dare to chase his fleet all the way for no reason. Just because I was coerced, I had to do this thing. ”
Zheng Zhilong has never seen most of the characters who sail on the sea all year round, but he has heard of it for a long time.
"Who are you threatened?" Zheng Zhilong asked.
Li Kuiqi just shook his head and said slowly: "The other party has kidnapped my wife and children, but I don't even know what the other party's name is, or even what they look like." ”
Faced with the two people who were questioning, Li Kuiqi explained: "It was one afternoon, a man in black sneaked into my house and told me that my wife and children had been kidnapped by them, and if I wanted to live, I had to do what they said. ”
Bai Sha interrupted the other party and said, "Why is it a man in black again?" ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "This doesn't make sense, if the man in black knows that the treasure map is in this fleet, why don't they just grab it?" ”
Bai Sha thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's not a group of people, or maybe they have something to fear." ”
There has always been a force behind this matter of "men in black", which makes people shudder.
What Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong didn't know was that in fact, their fleet had been under the surveillance and planning of the men in black.
"Have you seen the Man in Black?" Li Kuiqi asked strangely.
It is not uncommon for people to wear black at night, but it is rare to see those who also wear black during the day.
Whether it is Bai Sha or Li Kuiqi, they all know that the man in black does not refer to a single person, but an invisible force.
Bai Sha just nodded, and did not tell the experience of encountering the man in black, Li Qiao'er knew these things.
Li Kuiqi habitually scratched his beard and said, "I had to give in, so I arranged for my daughter to get on Li Xu's fleet to guide me." ”
Bai Sha asked, "Is it the so-called Yang ashes?" ”
Blackbeard Li Kuiqi looked suspicious, unable to understand what Bai Sha was saying.
Li Qiao'er secretly pulled Li Kuiqi's clothes, and Li Kuiqi said: "I have a big fish, which is very psychic." I have made a secret powder, and he can find the taste of it in the sea, so that I can follow your course to catch up with you. ”
Bai Sha asked suspiciously, "Is there really such a psychic thing in the world?" ”
Li Kuiqi said with some pride: "Most of the people who sail will raise spirit pets, which is a symbol of status, like Li Xu raised a vulture, and some people raised cats and dogs, but my pet is in the sea, which should be unique." ”
Li Kuiqi suddenly mentioned the vulture of the former captain Li Xu, and Bai Sha could only say nothing.
Li Qiao'er also knew about this, and gently stretched out her finger and stabbed Li Kuiqi's junior behind her, signaling him not to talk about spiritual pets anymore......
