"Whoosh", the pirates began to fire arrows, suppressing the guards on the merchant ship, and leaned the ship up.

"Ahh The crew of the merchant ship continued to fall with arrows, and the pirate ship finally approached.

"Boom, knock, knock", the claws were thrown over, hit the gang of boats, and grabbed the merchant ship with great force, and then they pulled the rope hard, and brought the two boats together.

Gongsun Deguang swung his Tang knife and cut through several ropes, but more flying claws were thrown over.

As the two ships drew closer, the pirates reached out their hooks and grabbed the merchant ship's gang and brought the two ships together. The pirates screamed and crawled towards the merchant ship.

Gongsun Deguang gathered most of the crew here and fought to the death with the pirates.

"Kill."

"Jingle bell."

"Ahh

There was a mess on the sides of the two boats.

The crew was condescending and had a certain advantage, and many pirates were cut down, but the pirates were outlaws, and continued to climb up despite the dead and wounded. There were quite a few archers on the pirate ship, and they constantly used their bows and arrows to kill and wound the ship's crew. The crew continued to fall from arrows.

Eventually, several pirates climbed up and jumped onto the splint. Gongsun Deguang rushed forward with a crew member.

When a pirate saw Gongsun Deguang rushing over, he screamed strangely, and the dancing knife slashed at him, and Gongsun Deguang waved his knife casually to block it.

With a "bang", the pirate's knife was broken in two! The pirate was taken aback and froze. It turned out that Gongsun Deguang's Tang knife was produced by Xigou Iron Mine, and he managed to get one. This time I left the army, and I brought back this souvenir.

In the Battle of Baijiangkou from August 27 to August 28, 663, the Tang army (13,000, 170 warships) won more with less, and the Japanese army (42,000, more than 1,000 warships), the sharpness of the horizontal knife was one of the important factors.

The Tang sword is better than the horizontal sword, no wonder the pirates were surprised.

It's too late, it's too soon. Gongsun Deguang took advantage of the pirate's stunned gaze, grabbed a step, and hacked him to death with a knife. Then, with the sharpness of the Tang knife in his hand, he did not dodge or dodge, and directly fought against the pirates. He was a strong martial artist, and he killed all the pirates who came up in three strokes and two clicks.

Seeing him so powerful, the crew was in high spirits and fought desperately, and finally killed all the pirates who climbed up. The rest of the pirates were frightened and retreated for the time being.

At this moment, two other pirate ships also approached, and there were less than ten crew members on board who could fight!

When Gongsun Deguang knew that he was done, he was worried that his wife would not be able to do anything to his daughters, so he went into the cabin and prepared to kill them with his own hands, and then die with the pirates.

Gongsun Deguang held the mother and daughter in his arms and said, "Cuilian, Xiwen, you go first, and I will come later." ”

Wang said with a smile: "Husband, the concubine has been married to you for so many years, and I feel very happy, and this life is worth it." ”

Gongsun Xiwen looked at his father and said, "Daddy, come on, my daughter is not afraid!" As he spoke, he closed his eyes and raised his chin.

Gongsun Deguang looked at his dear wife and daughter, and his heart was like a knife. Especially his daughter, the good life has just begun, and he really can't do it.

However, the strange cries of the pirates outside were getting closer and closer, and he could not hesitate any longer. He was ruthless and raised the sharp Tang knife in his hand.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Datang Water Master, Datang Water Master is here to pull!" It's the voice of the leader.

Gongsun Deguang hurriedly ran out of the cabin and boarded the ship's building, and sure enough, a warship appeared in the south that he had never seen before, and the Tang flag with black letters on a red background fluttered on the mast!

At this moment, Gongsun Deguang, a strong man, had a hot chest in his chest, and tears came out of his eyes.

It was the ship of the Tang Navy Division commanded by Liu Renliang who came. It was a new type of navy, equipped with sail battleships unique to this era.

A sail battleship is an armed ship that has served as the main force of combat at sea since the 16th century. Sail warships built entirely of wood, wrapped in copper below the waterline, powered by sails. This kind of battleship has dominated the sea for more than 200 years, which shows the superiority of its performance. Sail battleships are divided into five classes according to their purpose.

In the name of the Great Voyage, Li You wanted to build a super fleet that would dominate the world and could be built in the Tang Dynasty, so he chose sail battleships. It's just that he set the weapons (artillery) on the battleship as bed crossbows and car crossbows, as well as ram stone throwers. Equipped with fierce fire oil.

When they came to Yangzhou, they began to build sail battleships, and have built a fleet of 2 second-class, 8 third-class, 8 fourth-class, and 20 fifth-class sail battleships.

He did not build a first-class sail battleship, firstly, it was too expensive, and secondly, it was not needed at all. Liu trained a corresponding navy, which was modeled after the corresponding British naval formation.

With a fleet of this size, it is enough to dominate the world in this era.

At this time, there came a three-rank sail battleship. This class of warships is a three-masted ship, with a total of two decks, equipped with 16 crossbows, 36 bed crossbows, 8 stone throwers, and carries a large number of stone bullets and fire oil. It has a capacity of about 650 people and a displacement of 1,800 tons.

In the command room, a young captain with a telescope in his hand (after the glass was made, Li You had already built some telescopes and gave priority to equipping the navy), was observing the situation on the sea.

Although there were many pirate ships in the Japanese Kingdom, they saw such a huge warship, abandoned the merchant ships, and fled in all directions.

In the face of such tactics of pirates, the young captain was helpless, so he had to order to bite a pirate's ship and chase it closely.

At this time, although the wind at sea was not strong, the wide sails on the battleship were still able to provide enough power for the battleship.

In about half an hour, the battleship caught up with the corsair.

"Whoosh", several rows of huge crossbows shot crossbow arrows with ropes, piercing the pirate ship, and the winches behind these ropes pulled together, dragging the pirate ship hard.

After the two ships quickly approached, the pirates on the pirate ship fired arrows at the battleship to resist, and the 200 Don archers hiding behind the thick wooden arrow stacks fired two volleys, and there were basically no living pirates on the deck of the pirate ship.

It didn't take long for the battle to end. The Don army captured the pirate ship and captured 12 pirates. Unfortunately, the other two pirate ships escaped.

A little later, the sail battleships approached the merchant ships.

Witnessing the majesty of the Datang Naval Division, the crew members of the merchant ship cheered excitedly: "The Datang Naval Division is mighty!" Gongsun Deguang's family was even more excited to tears, and they shouted together with the crew.

The captain of the battleship boarded the merchant ship and visited the frightened crew and brought a doctor to treat the wounded.

Gongsun Deguang was an old sailor, and he was very curious about the huge warship in front of him. For the captain in front of him, he was even more emotional.

The captain in front of him was only about 18 years old, the endless sea breeze and the strong sea sun had dyed his originally delicate skin with the unique red of the sea people, the short beard of the chin showed his masculine majesty, the bright eyes were bright, and the whole person looked unusually handsome.

When Gongsun Xiwen first saw the handsome face of the young captain, her gaze could no longer be taken away.

This young captain is the former boy Lu Tong.

Soon after, Lu Tong received a letter from His Royal Highness King Qi, approving him to follow Liu Renliang, who had returned to Chang'an to report to his work, to visit his mother and sister in Chang'an.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, Lu Tong returned to Chang'an with his fiancée, Gongsun Xiwen, and he looked at the high gatehouse of Chang'an City, and was full of emotion - once upon a time, he was just a boy who was played and humiliated, but now he has grown into an excellent naval commander.

He was anxious to see his mother and sister, and even more wanted to meet His Royal Highness King Qi, the benefactor of his family.
