Chapter 50: If the Enemy Doesn't Move, I Will Move
Syllable! A fine porcelain bowl shattered, and Chen Yi's roar could even be heard by merchant ships from a hundred feet away: "I'm going to trap them!" I'm going to capture them alive! One by one, they cut out their hearts and livers and gave the third child a funeral! ”
The original plan was good, and it was about to work, but I didn't think that with a wave of my hand, half of my men and a thousand-stone warship would be wiped out.
Chen Yi was really a little scared, he hadn't dealt with a difficult opponent, and he hadn't suffered heavy losses - he was beaten by Wen Tianxiang's Xingchao army last year and fled alone, almost losing his life. He can accept those failures, who makes the opponent big and his own weak. However, the defeat in front of him made it difficult for him to swallow this breath, a full two hundred and seventeen people, eight people who beat others, less than a fraction of his own strength, and actually made himself like this...... If this matter spreads, Chaoyang Kou's name will be smashed in his own hands.
Chen Yi didn't know, in fact, there were only six people on Zhao Lie's side who could shoot guns, otherwise his face would really not know where to go.
"Big helm, I didn't expect this small merchant ship to hide the forbidden thing in the army, the earth-shaking thunder, we really suffered a loss...... Alas! Li Hao remembered the tragic situation of seeing the third child's left scar just now, and his heart was cold.
Chen Yi snorted and panted, pressed his left arm, which was in faint pain due to anger, and squinted at his brother: "Old Five, do you really think it's a sky-shaking thunder?" ”
Li Hao's eyes widened: "What is that not the earth-shattering thunder?" ”
"And how heavy do you think the earth-shattering thunder that can lift the roof of the entire cabin and kill and injure so many of our brothers?"
"This ...... I'm not familiar with this thing......
"You estimate."
"If you don't say it, you have to weigh a hundred pounds."
At this time, a pirate standing next to me interjected: "When I was conscripted to guard the Jingjiang River (now Guilin, Guangxi), I saw the defenders use the big iron ball called 'Earthquake Thunder'. At that time, they used to blow up the 'cowhide hole' that the Mongols were digging into the city, and that guy was less than half the size of our cabin, and the defenders used three large iron balls of hundreds of catties to destroy it......"
Li Hao's mouth opened wide when he heard it: "At that time, that Zhao Hunt threw that thing over with just one hand......"
Chen Yi nodded slowly: "It's not a sky-shaking thunder, it's better than a sky-shaking thunder...... Who is this Zhao Lie? Where did it come from? ”
Li Hao twitched his dough like a toothache: "I just want to know, how many sharp weapons are still in this Zhao Lie's hand that he hasn't used?" ”
Chen Yi snorted coldly: "The more good things he has, the better, and when the time comes, it's all ours." ”
Li Hao's mouth was bitter: "But, we can't hold it anymore......"
After the rematch, the pirates suffered heavy losses. At present, the number of the two warships, and counting some of the pirates salvaged after abandoning the ship and escaping, Chen Yi's available manpower is less than 100, and they are all afraid of the opponent, which can be described as completely demoralized, and it is really a big loss of vitality. As Li Hao said, the current manpower is barely enough to escort and drive the ship back, and if there is any further damage, I am afraid that the ship will not even be able to sail back.
But can you be willing to return now? Chen Yi had already paid more than 100 lives, including his brother, plus a warship, but he didn't even set foot on the opponent's ship. Fortunately, before the warship sank, it finally played a role and damaged the merchant ship. Now that the opponent is lying on his stomach, if he pulls out the anchor at this juncture, won't all the previous efforts and heavy losses be in vain?
However, if you don't withdraw, can you continue to fight?
Chen Yi knew that unless he was willing to press his old book and fight to the death. However, if you fight once, you will die a boatload, and if you fight again, you won't even have a boat...... Still desperate? Can you fight again?
"Big helm, shall we fight or not?" Li Hao was entangled, and it was difficult to decide.
"Fight a fart!" Chen Yi said viciously, "Let's trap him!" ”
……
"It seems that Chen Yi has made up his mind to trap us." Zhao Lie stood at the bow of the boat, watching the afterglow of the sunset disappear little by little.
It's been a long day.
Behind him, there were a group of partners, and there was a silent Yang Zheng. Jueyuan led the teenagers to help settle the boatmen and Zhuang Ding who escaped death. The men survived in large part because they grabbed a small sampan, and those who jumped ship were mostly swept away by the waves. At the same time, seven or eight pirates were rescued, all of whom were tied up and imprisoned in the bow bilge.
More children gathered around Ding Xiaoqi and listened to him recount the fierce battle of the day. This time, Ding Xiaoqi did not exaggerate, because these two battles with huge disparities in numbers were exaggerated enough to anyone's ears. In a way, the children are also the witnesses of the two battles, and the feeling of being there is completely different from listening to a story. Every child was excited to hear this, asking questions from east to west, and of course the most asked question was, "When can we shoot guns?" ”
The sunset on the sea, the sunset is like scales, the long wind blows, the blue waves are tilting, there is a different scenery, but it is a pity that in a predicament, no one can raise the interest to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them.
"I asked the helm." Shi Yang glanced at the soaked-wet helm at the stern with a happy face, "He said that the boat can still be repaired, as long as it doesn't encounter strong winds and waves...... Well, if you're lucky, you can sail back to the nearest pier. ”
Zhao Lie only asked: "Is there any other wharf along the coast that is not occupied by Meng Yuan?" ”
Shi Yang stopped squeaking.
Ma Nanchun also said: "As long as we sail the boat, Chen Yi will definitely follow, like two predatory wolves." As soon as we show a flaw, we will bite it hard. ”
Wang Ping'an was worried: "Then why don't we leave?" But we can't afford pirates. ”
Ding Xiaoyi has always been easy not to speak, and when he opened his mouth, he said amazingly: "Why are you discussing so much, the pirates don't dare to fight us, so we will go over and beat them and run them away." ”
Shi Yang bared his teeth: "How can you fight when the ship is broken like this?" In case you get hit twice again......"
Everyone was speechless, and subconsciously looked at the pirate ship. These are all Song Navy standard warships, the bow of the ship is equipped with an iron ploughshare, like a huge iron-clad Chongcheng pole, once it hits, the consequences are ...... The pirates did not do this because they were trying to keep their treasures, but now they were afraid of the terrifying bombs.
Yang Zheng, who had been silent, suddenly patted Shi Yang's shoulder, pointed to the small sampan with his finger, and gestured to fifteen, meaning that fifteen people could sit.
Shi Yang understood what he meant, and shrugged: "It's not a question of how many people can sit, but ......" He also made a "fifteen" gesture, "Our guns can only shoot fifteen zhang, if we get so close, I'm afraid we will be discovered before we shoot." ”
In silence, the sky grew dark.
The smell of food and Jueyuan's tired voice came together: "Everyone, it's time for dinner." ”
Ma Nanchun sighed long: "I hope this night will not be so long." ”
Zhao Lie's hand holding the guardrail tightened: "This night will be longer." ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Lie's eyes flashed: "Yes, this night will be very long, whether it is for us or the pirates." ”
Ma Nanchun was stunned: "Brother Xian means ......"
Zhao Lie clenched his fist and hit the guardrail hard: "Xiao Yi is right, we can't sit still, we have to take the initiative to attack." ”
"But our ship is not lightly damaged, even if the pirates do not dare to collide, but they barely sail out, losing the cover of this reef, it is very easy to be caught between the two ships, and the enemy is attacked on the belly and back. And ......" Ma Nanchun said in a low voice, "We are playing an empty city plan now, and once we move the real thing, it is very easy to be debunked......"
Everyone knows that Ma Nanchun is talking about thunder artillery. Yes, they no longer have this weapon of mass destruction, and now they rely on strategic deterrence. Once the real character is moved, being exposed to the void and reality is tantamount to seeking a dead end.
"We don't take merchant ships, and we don't need a lot of people." Zhao Lie raised two fingers, "Just two people." ”
"What ......"
Zhao Lie's chin was a little towards Ding Xiaoyi: "Let's take a sampan and shoot cold." ”
