140. Stormy
The door of the water village was closed as usual, and when he saw his fleet returning, the sentry above opened the gate in advance as always. Sitting on the deck, the Nine Ghosts Jialong vaguely seemed to feel that something was wrong, and it seemed that something was not suitable, but he didn't react for a while, and he couldn't find a clue.
The two sentry boats in front had already entered, and behind them was their own boat, which followed the sentry ship in front of them to sail into the walled gate. Nine Ghost Jialong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair soothingly.
At this moment, there was a muffled sound of "Kutong" on the hull of the ship, and then the Nine Ghosts Jialong felt his body rush forward with the hull of the ship, and then lean back with inertia! The speed of the ship slowed down suddenly! He opened his eyes suddenly, stood up and shouted, "What's going on up ahead?"
A shout suddenly came from the sentry ship in front of the bow: "Big boss, our ship seems to have run aground!"
Nine Ghost Jialong is wondering, this water village has been painstakingly operated by himself for many years, how can it be stranded in the village? Just about to ask a question, the sudden sight made him suddenly realize: the entire water village is already a mess! Most of the buildings collapsed, and the people standing on the shore were those who stayed behind...... The head!
Nine Ghost Jialong reacted, this is a trap! Just as he was about to open his mouth and shout, the hull under his feet suddenly shook violently, but it was the boat behind that crashed headlong again in a daze that he didn't know what was going on in front of him!
As a result, the sentry ship and capital ship of the Kumano Navy had a series of "ship accidents" at the gate of the wall! It was crowded into a ball for a while, and I couldn't enter or retreat!
So there were shouts at the gate of the village for a while, the front shouted to stop the back, and the back shouted to let the front go quickly! Nine Ghost Jialong shouted in the middle to let the fleet evacuate as soon as possible, but he was also drowned in a noise!
At this moment, Nine Ghost Jialong suddenly heard a crisp sound of "click" not far from him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that on the deck not far from him, he didn't know when a small thing was thrown on, and it was "snorting" yellow smoke outside!
Nine Ghost Jialong didn't react for a while, but he heard his subordinates shouting, "That's Yanyu!" It was the people at the observation post who threw it down! ”
Smoky jade? It's a ninja escape prop, what are they throwing on my deck? Nine Ghost Jialong looked left and right, only yellow smoke rose from his own boat! Suddenly he shouted in shock: "Dive! Dive! ”
At this moment, Nine Ghost Jialong heard a continuous low sound in the distance, followed by the sound of "woo" breaking the wind! Years of experience in the bow of the ship reminded him once again that if he never left, he would never have to leave, so he ran desperately towards the side of the ship!
Before I ran to the side of the ship, I heard a dense "Tongtong" sound from behind! A strong vibration came from behind him, and the Nine Ghosts Jialong was crooked under his feet, and he almost fell to the ground!
An extremely violent wind suddenly sounded in his ears, and the Nine Ghosts Jia rolled over to the left violently, and a heavy cannonball hit the place where he had just landed, with a crisp "click", and a big hole was suddenly knocked out of the wooden deck!
Nine Ghost Jialong knew in his heart that it was the smoke jade just now! It's like an indicator light, pinpointing your own direction to enemies in the shadows!
Nine Ghost Jialong couldn't care so much anymore, he even crawled to the side of the ship, and he didn't care about looking down first, so he planted it on the side of the ship! Then he turned his head down and plunged into the water with a "plop"!
After falling into the water, Nine Ghost Jialong's eyes and ears were a mess, but his heart was clear, although he couldn't hear anything and the visibility was less than ten meters, Nine Ghost Jialong knew that he had been out of the most dangerous situation. After a little discernment, I began to swim in the direction of the dock!
After swimming for more than ten meters, Jiugui Jialong felt bored, so he clamped his legs hard, pressed his arms down, and the whole person began to float, and after a while, he came to the water!
He exhaled two breaths heavily, his head was tilted, and a burst of heat rushed through his ear holes, and the water that had originally closed the ear holes came out, and the Nine Ghost Jialong immediately regained his sense of hearing! Looking around, the water surface at this time is already like a purgatory on earth!
The whistling of shells, the cracking of the ship's hull, and the screams of people were endless, but Nine Ghost Jialong didn't have the heart to care about these, what he needed was to find a foothold as soon as possible and resume his effective command!
Suddenly, he felt like his eyes were suddenly darkening! When he looked up in a hurry, he saw a thick mast smashing down on him! I have to say that Nine Ghost Jialong has come and gone in the wind and rain over the years, and his status to today does have its own uniqueness!
He knew that it was too late to dive, in order to minimize the damage, he tried his best to twist his body, turning his body from lying flat to sideways, and just halfway through, the mast had already fallen, and it hit Jialong's left shoulder hard!!
The severe pain came, and the Nine Ghosts Jialong only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted in pain! But the body involuntarily sank with the mast into the water!
Nine Ghost Jialong couldn't take care of his unconscious left arm, and tried his best to save himself, but he felt powerless! The body keeps sinking underwater! One accidentally choked on two mouthfuls of water!
His heart was desolate, who knew that the end of his life would come so quickly! Just when he was about to despair, suddenly, Nine Ghost Jialong felt the collar tighten, and then he felt his body begin to float with it!
The Nine Ghosts Jialong knew that someone had saved him, so he began to float with that force without resistance! Finally, his head surfaced again, spit out the stagnant water in his mouth and nose, and greedily breathed a few breaths of fresh air, and the Nine Ghosts Jialong noticed that it was his vanguard general who saved him, Tetsubing Laijima!
Lai Dao Zhe Bing dragged Jia Long, got into the boat that had been out of trouble in front, looked at the Nine Ghost Jia Long wiped the water on his face, smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly a crisp gunshot "touched", and a puddle of blood spurted out of Lai Dao Zhe Bing's chest! Then with a look of disbelief in his eyes, he fell heavily on the deck of the ship!
"At the sentry post! Shoot! Nine Ghost Jialong pointed to the top of his head and shouted! Suddenly, many people on the ship took out firearms, bows and arrows, and fired fiercely at the sentry post! The person who sneaked up on the attack—the same person who had dropped the smoke jade before—had nowhere to hide, and a fish leaped from a great height, plunged into the water with a "plop", and disappeared!
……
I was in the distance, and with a monocular, I saw the man jumping from the sentry post! That person was none other than Mo's number one dead soldier, Kill, and the hidden man who had dived just now.
After we all evacuated, Kazukure stayed alone, and after seeing the Kumano Navy return, they warned us with their cannons! Then he opened the mechanism of the water village gate and introduced the fleet of the Nine Ghosts Jialong into the mechanism. And after discovering the traces of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, he threw down the smoke jade to mark the location. In the end, in a hurry, he chose to expose himself and snipe directly!
In the end, the shot was supposed to be nine out of ten, but the moment the trigger was pulled, suddenly a boat slammed into the pillar under the water wall, and the sentry post shook violently, causing the fatal shot to miss!
And then came bullets whizzing in all directions! Knowing that his assassination plan today had been revealed, he began his escape journey!
After he jumped into the water, he felt as if something had bitten his right calf, and the pain was unusually high under the seawater! When I looked back in the water, I saw a scarlet patch! Shot! Heart-killing Dao, fortunately, the injury is not serious! What a blessing!
After diving for dozens of meters, he came out of the water with his killer probe and exhaled a few breaths of air, but he saw a hidden ...... floating on the water not far in front of him, smiling and waving to himself
Needless to say, they returned to the ship and recuperated from their wounds, but we fought for more than two hours before the enemy's large fleet only regained its maneuver and began to surround our fleet!
Although we attacked first for a long time, in the end, we only had five boats, and the opposite side took various ways to evade, so the damage caused was not as great as imagined.
It took us almost eighty-five percent of the shells to sink nearly thirty-five percent of the enemy's ships. But it's actually enough, enough to make the Kumano Navy break their bones!
After the decision was made to evacuate, the mobility of the Kumano Navy was completely inadequate. In pursuit of us, we dragged and sank several more ships, and the opposite side retreated, and we left the combat area unharmed.
After this battle, the strength of the Kumano Navy regressed by ten years at once! In fact, this is already what we expected. And objectively speaking, what I did before is at most a surgery for them, and the next action is to let them slowly recuperate!
I sent someone to anonymously inform several other Ayushi Amalgami of the heavy damage to the Kumano Navy. The opponents who have been suppressed by Kumano for a long time will be skeptical at first, but then confirm the news, but they are eager to try it one by one, which is a joy to see!
I also asked Chen Kui to bring this good news to the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, which was thinking about revenge. Both Mars Kuhn and Simmons Kuhn decided that they must not give up. At the same time, they asked me who I was and wanted to express my gratitude. I told them please call me the red scarf, which is what I should do......
Of course, I have to admit that I also pretended to be the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and attacked and plundered the coastal territory of Hideyoshi Hashiba south of the Kumano Naval Army! My approach is actually very similar to that of the Japanese in the past, shooting a shot to change places, so that Hideyoshi and the Nine Demons Yoshitaka were completely out of sight, and they were always left behind by me!
After more than half a month of continuous blows, the people of Hideyoshi's coastal territory are already very afraid of my plunder, no, to be precise, it should be destruction! Everywhere I go, I seek not to get rich, but to destroy! The coastal area is shocked three times a day, and the four words "Kuhn Chamber of Commerce" can cure children's night crying!
According to the report of the spies, Yushiba Hideyoshi has recently adjusted his military strategy and transferred several troops to the southeast coast to guard against my sneak attack, but he is correspondingly weaker in the confrontation with Shibata Katsuie.
Shibata Katsuie once again showed his sluggishness in this regard, and in the case of Hideyoshi's transfer of power, he did not take immediate action to seize and stabilize the vacuum between the two sides by taking advantage of the chaos I created before winter. On the contrary, he once again adopted a policy of appeasement, and further peace talks with Hideyoshi Hashiba wanted to drag on this winter before the decisive battle.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was naturally pleased with this proposal at this time, and soon it was convenient for Shibata Katsuya to shake hands and make peace, and happily expressed that they would assist the young master together to fulfill the responsibilities of the retainer. For a while, it was like the truth, and I almost believed it!
When I heard about this, I could only look up to the sky and sigh. Second Uncle Ancestor, Second Uncle Ancestor, you really gave me a problem! This Shibata Katsuya is completely unsupportable!
Forget it, I'll do what I can. Nothing else is for me to decide. History, let alone a small person like me, should be written entirely by me!
Five days later, at the designated location at sea, I saw Arashi's fleet again. So I left Chen Kui's fleet and went to Lan's side. Chen Kui's mission at this stage has been completed, and I asked him to continue to return to the South Seas to start trading, but be especially wary of the movements of the Kumano Navy.
After this battle, they must have realized the gap in their equipment and tactics, and if nothing else, they will definitely send personnel to Europe to buy the latest ship artillery!
And the task I gave Chen Kui was to keep an eye on the movements of these Dongying people. It's good to buy a boat, but who will manage it...... It's up to me to see how I feel!
There are currently two ways for the people of Dongying to go to Europe. One is to go south, across the South Sea, through the Indian Ocean, around Africa, and to Europe.
On the other hand, it goes directly from Dongying to the north, passing through the four northern islands across the Bering Strait, bypassing the ice fields of northwestern Siberia, and passing directly through northern Europe.
I think that although they are now hostile to the "Kuhn Chamber of Commerce", if they take the northern route, the danger is too high, and the likelihood that they will choose is very low, and it is more likely that they will take the southern route in disguise and take the mature route to Europe.
Saying goodbye to Chenkui, I returned to Sakai Port with Arashi's fleet. Down-to-earth again, my heart was very excited, I felt that everything was more comfortable, and I returned to the Jianhai headquarters with great joy, but I was met with a sad face without regrets!
This guy hasn't seen him for a month, but he's lost a lot of weight and he's a lot haggard, what's wrong? What happened? So I patted my unrepentant shoulder and smiled, "Dude, what is wrong with you?" Speak out and make me happy! ”
Looking at his bitter gourd face, I couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh like a bulldozer! No kidding, let me hear about his suffering!
