Chapter 717: Lucky Escape

The moon shone brightly in the sky, the breeze gently touched the sea, and small waves crashed against the ship and fell back into the sea. The whole afternoon had been rocking, and the sailors on the warship were exhausted. No matter how much the Japanese warriors threatened and intimidated, the sailors who collapsed in the cabin just couldn't get up.

The exhausted sailors would rather be whipped than moved, which shows that they are indeed out of strength. Seeing this, the Japanese warriors were also quite helpless, so they had to put down their weapons and go up to shake them themselves, but they were very unbearable, and in less than an hour, dozens of people collapsed in the cabin like those sailors, unable to move.

Fujiwara stared at the hot air balloon above his head through the gap in the hatch, his face changed, and his old face twitched slightly, full of helplessness. From the afternoon, everyone on their ship took turns rocking, but now they have no strength. Now the ship is quietly parked in the vast sea, slowly moving backwards with the rippling waves, but Fujiwara is helpless about this.

What he hated even more was the hot air balloon above his head, which was always following them, and they were running away with all the strength of everyone's milk, while the hot air balloon in the air didn't have to do anything, they could easily follow them all the time, and they couldn't get rid of it from beginning to end.

No matter how angry Fujiwara is, he can't help it, and the hot air balloon above his head, which doesn't seem to be high, can never hit anyone with a bow and arrows or a cannon. After countless attempts, Fujiwara was already disheartened.

realized that if he continued to run blindly like this, he would probably not succeed in escaping in the end, but he would directly exhaust his subordinates to death. Fujiwara began to change his mind, thinking about how to get rid of or destroy the hot air balloon overhead.

Several Japanese generals were called into the cabin, the dim oil lamps emitting a faint light, and Fujiwara's fierce eyes roamed back and forth over several of them, and after a long time, they spoke, "Which of you can think of a way to destroy that thing on your head?" ”

The voice echoed in the silent room, but none of the generals stood up to reply, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.

Seeing this group of subordinates who had obviously been appointed, Fujiwara's heart suddenly rose and fell, and he lowered his voice again and said viciously: "Give you an hour to think of a way, if after an hour, no one thinks of a way, this king will cut off someone's head." ”

Several generals were stunned when they heard this, and after secretly exchanging glances, one of the oldest Japanese generals stood up, bent down ninety degrees and said to Fujiwara: "Lord, we don't have any weapons on our ship that can be used, and we really have no way to destroy it before we can't reach that thing." However, there is a compromise solution for subordinates, that is, I don't know what the effect will be? ”

"Oh, what compromise do you have, tell me about it." Fujiwara's face was overjoyed, and he immediately urged.

The elder Japanese general didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said, "My subordinates think that we can't deal with that thing at all now, so don't think about it here." We could have escaped quietly under the cover of night. Of course, it depends on the weather, and before we escape, it depends on whether God will help us. ”

Hearing this, Fujiwara frowned and said, "Make it clear." ”

"Lord, it's night now, but unfortunately the moon is hanging high, if there are dark clouds, or a storm, the thing on our heads will definitely not be able to stabilize, and we don't know where it will be blown by the strong wind? And this is the best time for us to escape. The elder Japanese general revealed his plan.

When Fujiwara heard this, he did not immediately refuse, but fell into deep thought, but unfortunately now that the wind is calm, there is no precursor to a storm outside. Considering these factors, Fujiwara suddenly felt that the plan of this subordinate just now would not work.

"What else do you do?" Fujiwara asked again in a deep voice.

Several generals immediately shook their heads, indicating that they did not.

Fujiwara was lost in thought, not knowing what to do.

And in the silence, there was a sudden click outside, a flash of lightning appeared, and then the rolling thunder resounded in everyone's ears. Several people in the room were stunned for a moment, and then rushed to the hatch to look out.

I saw that the night sky, which had just been clear and full of stars, suddenly became cloudy, and it was clear that a storm was in the midst of it.

"Hahaha...... God help me......"

Arrogant laughter suddenly sounded, and Fujiwara shouted to all the generals: "What are you doing here, hurry up and prepare, if you miss this opportunity, we will all have to wait for death." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Several generals did not dare to slack off, and left one after another.

Some people are happy and some are worried, it is a happy thing for the Japanese to usher in a storm, and the Dongjiang army on the hot air balloon began to worry. They knew in their hearts that once a storm appeared, in this vast sea, they had to avoid it in time, otherwise they would be at risk of crashing at any time.

"What should we do?" Yang Xiaoshu watched the rolling black clouds drift over quickly, and his face turned green.

"Stay out of the way." Lixing is the captain, he remembered Mao Wenlong's former confession, after encountering something unavoidable, he must save his life before talking about anything else.

The hot air balloon soon floated away from the warship of the Japanese Invaders, and Fujiwara's heart suddenly became even hotter when he saw this. He believed that this was a hint that he should not die, and that God was still watching over him.

As soon as the hot air balloon left, the warships of the Japanese began to move slowly, and the power of the storm was endless, although it drove away the hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army. But in the face of the storm, Fujiwara did not dare to be careless.

Fortunately, his subordinates were all veterans of seafaring, and they were all experienced in sailing, and as long as they withstood this storm, they would be able to escape from the pursuit of the Dongjiang army. With a strong hope of survival, Fujiwara and the others began to struggle in the great waves.

The battleship was like nothing in the monstrous waves, and with the ups and downs of the huge waves, dangers arose. The Japanese on the ship are even more in the test of life and death, those who have not fixed themselves, in the ups and downs of the battleship, easily swept away by the huge waves.

The hot air balloon in the distance has lost the trace of the Japanese warship, and this sudden storm is extremely ferocious. Yang Xiaoshu and Lixing didn't dare to approach at all, and after the two discussed in a low voice, they both felt that the battleship would definitely be swallowed by the storm, so the two immediately returned.

Fujiwara's battleship disappeared into the storm, and no one knew whether he lived or died. But the other pirates didn't have the same luck as him. was surrounded and suppressed by the army led by Mao Wenlong in one fell swoop, and none of them were able to escape.

After some interrogation, Mao Wenlong learned that Fujiwara, the general who led the army this time, was not caught, although he felt a little regretful. But the war was finally won, and the entire northern sea was not disturbed by the Japanese invaders, and the peace of one side was guaranteed.
