In the South China Sea at the end of May, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the blue waves are vast, the islands and reefs are like pearls, and the seabirds are flocks. This will be placed in the Hereafter, and it will be an excellent place for healing.

At this time, there was also a person recuperating in this holy place of recuperation.

Early in the morning, Wang Ping'an, with the support of several teenagers and children, walked on the pallet with crutches. The sun was shining warmly, and the children were laughing and laughing around. Wang Ping'an stopped from time to time, waved his hand to let the teenagers go to play by themselves, and he leaned on the side, squinting at the laughing children, smiling with a wrinkled face.

On the platform of the warship, Zhao Lie and Shi Yang stood side by side on the railing, silently watching this scene.

After a long time, Shi Yang sighed lightly: "After raising it for nearly a month, Lao Wang's life has finally been picked up, which can be regarded as a fortunate thing in misfortune." ”

Zhao Lie sighed slightly: "Strictly speaking, I only picked up half a life......"

Shi Yang was silent, Zhao Lie was right, Wang Ping'an's arm meridians were cut off, his left thigh was also injured tendons, and his body bones became weaker and weaker due to excessive bleeding. At the moment he is blind, crippled, lame, and frail, not to mention being a soldier, even an ordinary boatman is not up to the task.

"Zhao Tou...... Dutong, how to settle Lao Wang in the future? ”

"Don't worry, I've thought about it, when I take the Jiyang Military City and the court rewards him, I'll ask Lao Wang for a title, at least get a commander, and then give him a job. Lao Wang also has 200,000 yuan in dividends, which is not bad for the ministry money, mainly because he has an official body, and his face is glorious. ”

Shi Yang nodded again and again when he heard this: "It's still thoughtful, it's good to do this." ”

Zhao Lie patted Shi Yang on the shoulder: "It's almost time to arrive in Qiongzhou." This attack on the Jiyang Military City, with Jiang Shiyi and Ma Zhongping as the main and deputy commanders, Ouyang Dingjun and you as the vanguard, and you assisted Ma Zhongping in commanding the captive camp. In the Battle of Xiangshan, you have also accumulated a lot of experience in commanding firearms troops, so you can show some ability, ask Zhang Envoy and Su Dianshuai to take a look, and then get you a commander to talk. ”

Commander?!

Shi Yang smacked his lips, wanting to say but didn't know what to say. You must know that he is only a small utility at the moment, and he is at most a fire commander (squad leader) in the Song army, if he is promoted to a commander (equivalent to a division commander) at once...... Gee! If you don't even think about it in the Chengping era, but in the chaos of the last days of this dynasty, everything is possible.

It would be nice if Shu'er was still around...... Shi Yang's expression darkened.

Zhao Lieke is a person who has studied psychology (although it is criminal psychology), as soon as he saw Shi Yang's appearance, he knew his thoughts, sighed slightly, and was about to comfort him.

"There's a ship ahead of you!" Looking at Terumu, the strange sound that had just reached the stage of voice change came from overhead.

The five ships were alarmed at once, and everyone poured out. The sailors are in their places, and the musketeers and sword players are hidden behind the women's wall according to their usual drills.

Zhao Lie nodded secretly, he was the chief instructor of tactics, and Jiang Fenglie was in charge of the military array drill. Judging from the actions and reactions of these sergeants, Jiang Fenglie really has a set of skills in training, and he is worthy of being the leader of the loyal army personally selected by Jiang Cheng.

Zhao Lie looked up and asked, "How many ships are there?" Under what banner? ”

"There were four ships in all, three besieging one. The flag is not clear, it is too far away. ”

Ding Xiaoyi took off the scope and handed it to his younger brother, Ding Xiaoyi didn't need to say anything to understand, grabbed the cable and climbed up to Wangdou, and handed the scope to Kuromaru.

Kuromaru had already seen the magic of the scope, so he took it and looked at it. After a while, he shouted, "It's Yuan Bing!" It's the banner of the Yuan soldiers! ”

Zhao Lie immediately ordered the flag trumpeter to play the flag and inform the ships behind.

Soon, the warships where Jiang Fenglie and the Ma brothers were located also replied with flags. After a while, Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, Ma Nanbao, Ma Nanchun and others came over on small sampans from their respective boats and boarded the boat where Zhao Lie was.

Everyone quickly agreed that the Ma brothers' warships were responsible for guarding the merchant ships, and Zhao Lie's ship and Jiang Fenglie's warship were close to observe the situation and be ready for battle at any time.

The reason for this arrangement was that they had a total of five sea ships, of which three were the 2,000-stone warship captured by Zhao Lie, the 2,000-stone Jiang warship captured by Jiang Fenglie, and the 1,000-stone warship of the Ma brothers. The warships of Zhao Lie and Jiang Fenglie were relatively new and large, and had complete facilities, while the warships of the Ma brothers were not only small but also old. Two merchant ships were loaded with military money and food, and one of them was displayed with Zhao Lie's gun-making equipment and treasures. At least one warship should be put on guard, and there is no room for error.

At the end, Zhao Lie issued an order: "All ships are ready for battle, including merchant ships." The helmsman and sailman must control the speed of the ship and keep the ship within the range of our warship. ”

The Ma brothers glanced at each other, and Ma Nanchun asked, "How many gunners does the escort ship have?" How many gunners are there on a merchant ship? ”

Zhao Lie thought for a while and stretched out two fingers: "Twenty each." ”

Ma Nanchun lowered his head and thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After the agreement, Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou, Ma Nanbao, Ma Nanchun and others returned to their respective warships by sampan, issued commands, and began to arrange, and for a time the ships were in full swing.

An unexpected encounter at sea is about to begin.

……

Boom!

The heavy scimitar slashed down.

Hong Siniang crossed a pair of short blades into a cross, struggled to stand up, her body was weak, and she knelt on one knee.

At this time, Hong Siniang's hair was scattered, her face was covered with blood, her blue cloth clothes and pants were torn in many places, and the blood stains were everywhere, and she was no longer as clean and tidy as before.

Tu Mi quickly snorted coldly: "The thief has two hands, I don't know if you have a third hand." With that, he pulled out a short meat cutting knife from his back waist with his backhand and stabbed Hong Siniang fiercely.

Hong Siniang's mouth was scattered, staring at the speed of spitting, seeing the short knife stabbing at it, she suddenly lowered her head and shook it hard, and the silver hairpin that was originally pinned to the bun was like a crossbow arrow that shot out of the speed of spitting out the speed of the face.

Tu Misu didn't expect the other party to come to this hand at all, so he hurriedly put away his knife and blocked the door with his wrist. The silver hairpin sneered through the bracers of the cowhide and pierced his wrists. Tu Mi quickly took the pain and put away the knife and retreated sharply, and in the process of retreating, he also disemboweled a man in a short coat who swung a knife from the side and pounced.

Tu Mi quickly retreated to the side of the boat, pulled out the silver hairpin hard, found that it was only half a point into the meat, and looked up and smiled: "The thief really has a way, but these little tricks can't save you." You look up and see how many of you are left. ”

Hong Siniang's hair has been completely scattered, and when the sea breeze blows, it almost covers her face, just like Sadako, and a pair of bloodshot pupils lock on from between her hair: "Even if there is only one person left in the Li family's Hongtong Village, it will kill you!" Blue-eyed ghost, you're dead! ”

Death is still hard-mouthed! Tu Mi was furious, and was about to swing his knife to pounce on the evil thief woman, and suddenly the cymbal sounded into his ears - Tu Mi was stunned, this was the order to retreat. Obviously he has the upper hand, and he will soon be able to gather and annihilate the Samba pirates in one fell swoop, why retreat at this juncture?

Looking back, I was shocked when I looked at the flag news, which showed that "a ship is approaching".

The military order was like a mountain, and the Yuan soldiers had to abandon the low-hanging victory and withdraw to their own ship. Before they could finish withdrawing, they saw two ships flying the red flag of the Song army and the yellow silk banner of the four-clawed green dragon and the soaring flame vermilion bird surging towards them.

Although Liu Qianhu and Tumisu couldn't understand why there were Song ships coming from the north, they had already made them arrogant and arrogant because of their repeated victories in the southern expedition against the Song army, and they disdained the Song army's naval and land combat capabilities. With a wave of the flag and the sound of the trumpet, they brazenly greeted the Song ships - they were all two warships, and the previous battles proved countless times that the Song army had never won a battle with equal forces.

This time will be no exception!
