Chapter 6 Fighting the Shark

There was no navigator, and Xu Qi changed the course without recording, and for a while, Xu Qing's ship lost its direction like a headless fly.

According to Xu Qing's meaning, he walked south to approach the Shandong Peninsula, but after walking for a long time, it was dark and he still didn't see the shore.

plunged headlong into the night.

That mirage also made Xu Qing's head dizzy, everyone knows that the mirage is either an illusion or caused by the bending and refraction of the sea surface. So many people have seen it together, and there can be no hallucinogenic poison, so it is definitely not an illusion, but a refraction? It is only possible to reflect what lies ahead. But before they sailed eastward, in front of them were devils except for sticks, and at this time they were only in the era of thatched houses, so it was impossible to have such a prosperous scene.

Is it a mistake?

"Brother Xu, what's wrong?" Huang Shimei was lying in Xu Qing's arms, but she found that Xu Qing today was sexless, and she couldn't help but wonder.

"Shimei, we're lost......" Xu Qing leaned his head on Huang Shimei's head.

"It's okay, we haven't gone far," Huang Shimei said: "It's a big deal, tomorrow we will go south for one day, and we won't be able to go ashore, and we will go east for another hundred days." ”

Xu Qing smiled, yes, it was impossible for him to go out of the Yellow Sea for such a short time, and he hadn't seen the coast for so long, maybe it was because of the low visibility, right?

Drop anchor and stay overnight.

Xu Qing said that he had just laid down and was going to sleep peacefully, and his hands were at the third base, but he heard a sound on the board, bang, bang, bang, as if something was beating on the deck.

Who doesn't sleep at night and is crazy about what? Xu Qing opened the window and yelled outside.

I saw a few soldiers on the deck holding torches looking under the boat, and when I heard Xu Qing's scolding, one of them turned around and said, "My lord, it's not us who made the noise, it's something in the sea!" ”

Someone on the other side shouted: "My lord, it seems that the mackerel from the day is back again!" ”

"Mackerel! And there's more to come! Another person shouted, holding a torch on the sea, and suddenly, Xu Qing saw by the light of the torch that a white shark three or four meters long rushed out of the sea, flexibly took the boat in his mouth, and took the person with the torch down. In an instant, the man didn't even have time to scream, if it weren't for the torch accidentally left on the boat, and the sound of the huge fish's tail fin slapping the water immediately, Xu Qing would not have thought that there was someone there.

Stabilizing his jaw that was about to fall off, Xu Qing trembled and shouted: "Come back quickly, don't go near the side of the boat!" ”

Xu Qing turned around and said to Huang Shimei: "Shimei, something happened, you take Xue'er and them to go up!" ”

Huang Shimei is a bold woman, and without saying a word, she went out with her clothes on. Xu Qing went out faster and called Zhang Linlin and Yang Cheng up.

"What's wrong? There are thieves? ”

"It's much more powerful than a thief...... Xu Qing replied: "Shark surrounds the boat!" ”

"Sharks?"

"It's a mackerel!"

"Mackerel, the kind you see during the day?" Zhang Forestry and Yang Cheng asked as they walked, and walked to the deck: "That guy, the size of a cow!" How many? ”

"I don't know yet, listen to the sound, there must be dozens of heads!"

"I'll take a look!" Yang Cheng took the torch from the door and was about to go to the side of the boat to check, Xu Qing hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't go to the side of the boat, just take one down!" ”

"Bite it down?!" The two shouted in unison: "Can this fish still fly?" ”

"You can't fly, but you can still jump at this height!" Xu Qing looked at the side of the boat and worried: "I watched one go down with my own eyes just now!" ”

"Then ......," Zhang Forestry tried to say, "why don't you just wait on the boat and wait for them to disperse on their own?" ”

"No, those things seem to be crashing into the ship," Yang Cheng retorted: "It's just that this ship is made of double layers of hardwood and iron, and it's so hard that I'm afraid it's going to break their heads!" Just ......"

Xu Qing smiled bitterly: "Even if the ship is strong, it is impossible for them to disperse on their own......"

Zhang Linlin asked, "Why?" ”

"They ate the sweetness just now and smelled blood, I'm afraid they won't leave in three or four days," Xu Qing sighed and said, "But the fresh water on the ship is only enough for us for more than a day." ”

The two of them sighed at the same time, and at this time, a white shark on the side of the boat rushed out of the sea, showing its head and belly in everyone's field of vision. This white shark was bigger than the one Xu Qing had seen before, which really made Xu Qing's heart tremble.

Zhang Forestry and Yang Cheng were also so frightened that they only swallowed their saliva, both of them had killed the enemy, but they were still a little scared when they encountered this kind of "unreasonable" livestock.

Xu Qing was a little frowning at this time, and he commanded to put the anchor up.

The deck of the ship is only more than three meters above the sea, and it drops to less than three meters after the anchor is lowered, and raising the anchor can at least raise the height of the ship, which is better than nothing. Zhang Forestry took the order and left.

Raise the sails and beat the rudder in the direction of the sea.

Go to the sea and won't provoke more mackerel?

Better a little more, this group of sharks... The mackerel was so hungry that they saw that there were more of their kind, and maybe they would fight.

Yang Cheng was ordered to raise the sails, and Zhang Linlin came back, saying that the anchor had made the boatswain hoist. Xu Qing said again, select someone with good eyesight to come out, and move the two bed crossbows on the boat.

When Xu Qing set off, in addition to eating and playing, he naturally also brought defensive devices. These two bed crossbows are not the kind imitated by Broken Hongchen, they are serious big * crossbows.

After a while, the sail went up, but there was not a hint of wind, and the canvas could not be lifted. Yang Cheng came over, and Xu Qing asked him to organize a group of people under the boat to be ready to repair at any time to prevent the shark from really hitting the boat.

The whole boat moved, Xu Qing "pointed fingers", let Zhang Linlin and Yang Cheng be busy with this and that, and he himself turned his head to think about countermeasures.

During this time, the sharks somehow became irritable and jumped to the surface one after another. What's going on underwater? Xu Qing didn't dare to take a look.

After a while, more than twenty people with excellent eyesight stood in front of Xu Qing, and he ordered ten people to move the two bed crossbows to the highest place, ready to shoot at any time. The other ten people climbed on the mast and used the oblique angle to observe the sea, first, to find out the surrounding enemy situation and see the number of sharks, and second, if you are lucky and see a shark in the waves, it is better to command the crossbowman to shoot the bed crossbowman, and let those sharks know that the prey on the ship is thorny!

"One, two,......, seven,......, thirteen......" Every time the person on the mast counted a word, Xu Qing's heart sank, even if the number of people on it was repeated, there were hundreds of sharks!

A shark is like a car, and even if a shark hits it, I'm afraid the boat won't be able to hold it. Thankfully, sharks don't sacrifice their heads, happe other people's bellies, and don't organize themselves to hit one place.

What's going on?

My lord, the mackerel didn't hit it, and it was quiet for a long time.

That's good......

Xu Qing held his chin and thought, the effect of the two bed crossbows was actually very small, not so much to let the shark know that it was powerful, but to reassure the people on the boat.

As long as the sharks don't wreck the boat, there is no danger for the time being. However, the fresh water on the ship is a big problem, and it can be used for two days at most, and I dare not go to the side of the boat, let alone let the boat go down. What to do after two days, it depends on the sky...... The key is that Xu Qing doesn't know where he is, and he can't see the shadow on the shore.

His thoughts seemed to be blocked, Xu Qing paced to the second floor, remembering that Huang Shimei took the girls to the top, and couldn't help laughing at herself, what is the use of people in a boat tied together, running to it.

I looked at the women on the third floor, briefly talked to them about the situation, and saw that the bed crossbow had been moved, and I helped the handle, and the bed crossbow had to be moved to the top of the third floor.

When he reached the roof, Xu Qing felt his hair flutter a little.

Hey? It's windy!

The hull swayed, turned, and slowly moved towards a place that no one knew.

However, this speed is just moving, slower than a human shake, and it is even more impossible to shake off the shark.

At this time, the people counting the sharks outside finally stopped, asked each other, and said a number, there must be one hundred and eighty! This can be seen on the surface of the sea, as well as potentially underwater.

Xu Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, can this shark that has not been caught breed so hugely, this can be called a shark school! Regardless of the number, the sharks are still so big.

At this time, Xu Qing began to hesitate to kill the sharks, what if he provoked them? Group fighting? I don't know if sharks eat their own kind, how good it is to hurt one and provoke them to eat each other?

God is smiling, guess the big and the small?

Xu Qing decided to take a gamble and turned around. After getting off the deck, he organized the pro-soldiers and members of the Dark River to come out and stand in a circle in the middle of the deck. They all hold strong bows and crossbows, and their arrows are outward, ready to be fired at any time, and the breeze is dignified.

The man who was watching on the mast pointed in one direction and said, "There are many mackerel over there, and one person can go out of the line and throw a torch into the sea."

Call~

Moved, but did not jump, humanity on the mast.

Throw it again!

Call!

It moved, there were more mackerel, but I still didn't jump. The light of the torches was too short for them to jump.

Find a pulp, tie it with a rope, and hang it out? Someone suggested it.

This thing is dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you will be dragged down. However, as soon as Xu Qing beckoned, some warriors stood up.

Xu Qing tied the two pulps together, tied the torch again, and repeatedly told him to throw it quickly.

The torches crept out of the boat, and the bed crossbow and the crossbow bearers looked intently at the side of the boat.

"It's coming!"

The man on the mast shouted.

Xu Qinghu was stunned, his hand was like iron, the person with the torch threw it forward, and then rolled aside, saying that it was too late, and then quickly, three or five white sharks jumped out of the water together, raising a bloody mouth.

However, to the disappointment of the sharks, there were no delicious lumps of meat next to the torches, but dozens of oncoming crossbow arrows, as well as two bed crossbow arrows the size of oars!

Xu Qing didn't know if the small crossbow arrows could hurt the shark, maybe he couldn't even wear through the shark skin, but the moment the two bed crossbow arrows pierced directly, he saw it.

Burst! The shark re-entered the water with a heavy thud. Then, Xu Qing and the others heard a noise in the water, as if sharks were competing to bite the shark.

Sure enough, this group of animals recognized blood and did not identify with the class.

Xu Qing's heart calmed slightly, and at this time, there was a sound of water, and a white shark jumped out of the water again, this time, it did not jump into the sky, but came towards the deck of the ship
