Chapter 0149 - Life and Death at Sea
"What's wrong?" Yun Xiaoshui asked in the same surprise as the artillery army.
"If you can't kill all these big fish, then don't mess with them! They can't be beaten away, they can't be scared away, and with the smell of blood, there will be more! ”
Yun Xiaoshui was very surprised, and hurriedly asked people to stop preparing for the bombardment. According to these old fishermen, if you hit it with one shot, you will kill two of them and make a mess of blood, not only will you not let the big fish leave, but you will also attract more big fish because of the smell of blood.
"Is there any other way?"
"They were just looking for food in these waters, and we surrounded the big boats around the small boats and stopped for a while. By the time they can't find it or have enough to eat and leave, there's nothing going on! An old fisherman named Lao Matou said.
So Yun Xiaoshui gave an order, ordering the big ships to surround the small boats, all with the bow facing outward, and each big ship was mounted with copper cannons, and there were soldiers standing on both sides, holding gunpowder and iron eggs, which could be filled with powder and fired at any time.
The Bronze Cannon Backroom Fire Hammer Team, then the Bow and Crossbow Team, the Spear Throwing Team, and finally the Shield Team protects the boss. Each big ship has a commander, and the middle and small boats are attached to each big ship. That is, every big ship is a small fleet.
The largest ship is the Central Command Ship, which is the Oolong Boat of which Yun Xiaoshui himself is the captain, and the others, the Black Tiger Boat with Flash as the captain, the Pioneer Black Lion Boat with the Wind as the captain, the Red Fox Boat with Frost as the captain, the Reconnaissance White Gull Ship with Gu Yue as the captain, and so on.
"How long will it take? But there is no one who can be believed! Is there a way to get them out of here faster? ”
"Yes, too! They are afraid of loud noises, sudden changes in temperature that turn hot and cold, and winds with torrential rain or ice eggs! ”
"Oh? That's easy to do! Order the Musketeers to shoot at the sky and scare away all these abominable big fish! ”
With Yun Xiaoshui's order, a platoon of firecrackers raised their guns to the sky and "tom tom" for a while, and then looked at the sea in a flash, there were big fish with their heads raised or tails raised, all with frightened looks.
Look at the big wooden boat, there is really nothing to swallow, and the big fish have withdrawn. Far away, the rippled sea water expanded into the distance in a fan shape, and it took a long time to tend to a relatively calm state!
Keep moving! The brigade hurried forward. After about five or six days of relative calm, the weather changed, first there was wind, and then the wind gradually became stronger, and the water vapor intertwined with the wind and water told Yun Xiaoshui that a big storm at sea might be coming.
"What should I do?" The old fishermen, the old sailors, and the navigators were helpless. I don't know where I got there? Behind him is far from the coast, there is no shelter on the left, and there is no support on the right.
"Master National Teacher! We have only one way now, we can only try it, and we can't say that it will definitely work! ”
"Speak up! Let's discuss! ”
"Use the medium boat to carry grain, grass and food, and empty the boat, and put it all in the middle for lifeboat. All the big boats form a big circle, and the boats are connected to each other by ropes. ”
"Huh? In this way, if there is no accident, there will be a loss of food, and if an accident happens, the big ships are connected together, and they all sink, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out! No way! This must not be done until the last minute! ”
Yun Xiaoshui quietly recalled the knowledge about Bohai Bay and Miaodao Islands in his mind, according to the time and the approximate speed of the ship, the fleet should have arrived at Miaodao Islands, why hasn't it arrived at this time?
So, Yun Xiaoshui held the psychology of taking a risk, and ordered the original formation of the fleet to remain unchanged, move forward in the shape of swallow wings, speed up, and keep the reconnaissance ship away from the fleet, and keep in touch at any time!
"Huh? Not defending against the storm? My lord! As soon as the storm comes, it will be even more difficult for us to resist for a moment in such a formation! ”
"Don't worry! This official is an angel from above, and when the storm comes, he will definitely point me to a safe and bright path. ”
Although his subordinates completely believed in Yun Xiaoshui and believed that he was a god, their hearts accelerated with the wind, and they felt more and more cold on the sea, and they also had fear, and they stood on the deck and prayed in their hearts!
"Can this country master really attract heaven and earth and let the gods come to help?"
"It's a deadly rhythm! If it is really a big storm, it is not uncommon for our more than 1,000 ships to be wiped out! ”
"I'm looking at Xuan! I'm going to die! We're all going to die! ”
"Shut up! It is also something to be proud of to be able to follow the national master to Huangquan in death! ”
"Tell all the false empty words! Dead, with whom is there any point in hairy all the way? ”
……
Everyone was talking about it, and they couldn't stop the fleet from riding the wind and waves and moving forward at the fastest speed. Suddenly, in the front came two light boats, chiseled from a canoe, like a giant weaving shuttle.
"Report - Master of the National Teacher! About 5 miles ahead are the archipelago, two of which are large enough to live on the island for thousands of people! ”
"Haha! Are you sure? That is Gushamen Island, which is what the official calls the Temple Island Islands. Burn the wind! We are saved! Sail into the islands before the storm comes, and nothing will happen! ”
Ships large and small were moving at full speed, and as they sailed into the arms of the islands, the wind was strong and the rain was raining.
Yun Xiaoshui knew in his heart that this ancient Shamen Island was composed of 32 islands, the largest of which was the South Island, followed by the North Island, which was a long stretch between the north and the south, so it was also known as the Long Island in later generations. The big island, the north and south islands, have high mountains and cliffs, and there is no problem at all to stop the big storm.
Therefore, Yun Xiaoshui immediately ordered the fleet to sail to the west of the two large islands, the South Island and the North Island, all of which were lined up close to the islands. Because the great storm has become a clear trend, coming from the east and going west.
All the ships of Yun Xiaoshui's fleet were hiding, and it just so happened that the big storm had officially arrived. The wind and rain raged for a day and a night, and the trees on the island were blown off countless times, and Yun Xiaoshui's large fleet was unharmed except for a small boat that was smashed and sunk by a grinding stone rolling down the cliff, and there was no major loss of people and things.
After the wind and rain subsided, the general statistics came out. Yun Xiaoshui flicked the silk silk with his fingers and said: "Fall into the water to feed the fish and feed the two pigs, the fish we caught from the water can reach the standard much more!" Hehehe...... Go to the island! Bury the pot to cook, eat and drink enough, rest for two days before leaving! ”
Yun Xiaoshui led the female guard to climb the North Island, and saw the beautiful scenery on the island, with a crescent-shaped bay and an extremely high and steep cliff, which was like a fairyland. This is regarded by the monks who cultivate immortals and alchemy pills as the residence of immortals and immortals, which is really true.
"Is this really someone who has been here, or is it what the monks imagined? Why did it come out of the 'Penglai', 'Yingzhou' and 'Abbot' sacred mountains? "Yun Xiaoshui can't answer this question!
When visiting the North Island, Yun Xiaoshui was interested, so he happily wrote the name of the place in the book of heaven on the stone, and asked Chasing Feng to carve it out with a treasure knife in the back. That's probably why these place names came down later!
"Crescent Bay", "Jiuzhang Cliff", "Wonderland Source", ...... There are also "Penglai Mountain" and "Salmon Island......
"Husband! If only the North Island and the South Island were connected! I want to go to the South Island to see, but I have to go down to the North Island to take a boat, which is very disappointing! Yu Mingzhu said as if there was a fly in the ointment.
