For the time being, there are only ten sea ships, and it is impossible to transport more than 10,000 soldiers to Jiangnan at one time, so it can only be carried out in batches.

Sailing continuously on the seas is tiring not only for the soldiers, but also for the sailors. Therefore, Li Jun, the mixed river dragon, and Zhang Heng, the boat fire, operated in alternating shifts.

For the first time, two brothers, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, led a team of 400 sailors and 2,000 spearmen to Hangzhou on a sea ship.

On the flagship "Breaking Waves", Xu Guanzhong stood on the armor of the ship, holding the pole of the ship and looking into the distance.

Zhang Shun walked out of the cabin, saw Xu Guanzhong standing on the deck, walked over and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you feel bored?"

Xu Guanzhong nodded when he heard it and said, "Well, it's the first time I've taken a boat and sat for so long." At first, it was okay, I thought the view of the sea was really beautiful and magnificent. But after looking at this scenery for five days in a row, I feel bored now. And there is so little space on the ship, it feels boring to stay for a long time! ”

Although Zhang Shun is nicknamed Langli Baitiao, he is not white at all now, and his whole body is black and shiny.

He bared his white teeth, looked at the sea level in the distance, and said, "Indeed, at first I was very unaccustomed to this kind of day without docking, and then I gradually got used to it. Actually, it's okay, in order to accommodate those soldiers, they all dock every few days, and I didn't even get off the ship for a month. Those kinds of days are not human beings at all! ”

Xu Guanzhong heard that Zhang Shun had never gotten off the boat for a month, thinking about that kind of day, and said with a wry smile: "No wonder those sailors feel like they want to celebrate a festival as soon as they dock, eating and drinking, and their feelings are venting their squeezed emotions!" ”

Zhang Shun leaned on the railing, looked at the seagulls flying in the sky and said, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Mr., we are all people who have today and no tomorrow, maybe we will be taken away by the sea that day." That's why I try my best to enjoy myself as soon as I get to the shore, but if I miss it, I can't enjoy it anymore! ”

Xu Guanzhong was surprised and asked: "Why do you say that, it is not that the risk at sea is very high!" ”

Zhang Shun smiled and said, "I hope Mr. Xu will never know the good." Well, don't say these discouraged words. After being on the ship for so long, the gentleman should be hungry too. I'm going to catch a few fresh fish for my husband! ”

Before Xu Guanzhong answered, Zhang Shun took off the horse clamp and pounced, and he jumped into the sea directly with a nearly ten-meter-high boat armor.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhang Shun had not yet emerged from the sea, Xu Guanzhong panicked.

He walked back and forth on the armor of the boat, looking around, and there was Zhang Shun's figure on the surrounding sea.

Xu Guanzhong hurriedly shouted into the cabin: "Come on, Brother Zhang Shun has fallen into the sea!" Come on, people......"

Hearing Xu Guanzhong's shout, Zhang Heng yawned and walked out of the bed.

He shouted with a nonchalant expression: "Mr. Xu, don't worry. How long has that bastard been in the sea? ”

Xu Guanzhong hurriedly replied: "At least there is a bowl of tea in time, so let's quickly send someone to the sea to find someone......

"It's just a bowl of tea, don't worry about him. That bastard died the best, such a big man, still like a child, so willful! Zhang Heng scolded.

Xu Guanzhong saw that Zhang Heng didn't care, and asked suspiciously, "Is it really okay?" ”

"Don't worry! I'm sure he'll be able to get out soon! Zhang Heng replied affirmatively.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Shun suddenly poke his head out of the sea, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Xu, you have a good mouth, I didn't expect that there would be a hairtail." ”

Seeing his younger brother come out, Zhang Heng shrugged his shoulders and shouted, "Look, that bastard boy didn't come up!" ”

Zhang Shun kicked his feet and swam quickly to the offshore boat, he grabbed the ribbon fish with one hand, and pulled the sailor to throw down the rope ladder with the other hand and quickly climbed onto the boat.

After getting on the boat, he threw the hairtail into the bucket and shouted to a sailor, "Go and oil this hairtail, and I will have a drink with Mr. Xu later!" ”

After instructing the sailors, Zhang Shun turned his head to Xu Guanzhong and said: "Sir, most of the fish live in the sea, it is rare to see it swim up, and it is usually caught with a fishing net, I can't imagine that I have good luck today." Sir, let me tell you, this hairtail has been fried in oil, and it is perfect for snacks! Sir, take out your bottle of burning knives, why don't you have a drink! ”

When Xu Guanzhong heard it, he immediately laughed: "I said why did you suddenly jump into the sea to catch fish, it turned out that you were thinking about my bottle of wine!" ”

Zhang Shun grinned and said: "Hehehe, it's not that I've drunk all the wine, and I've talked about birds in my mouth for the past two days." ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "Okay, anyway, it's almost landing." I'll open the wine, let's have a few drinks! ”

Zhang Shun immediately swallowed a mouthful of water and said: "Mr. Xu is a cool person, this wine is to be drunk, if you don't drink it, there is a bird!" I'll go see if there's good seafood and grab it with it! ”

In the evening, on the bow deck. On a bantam table, there are four dishes and one soup, fried hairtail, braised yellow croaker, fried squid, steamed yellow croaker, and white radish tun fish soup.

As soon as he opened the jar of burning knives that Xu Guanzhong carried, Zhang Shun was not polite, and after picking up the wine jar and pouring a bowl of wine for Xu Guanzhong and Zhang Heng, he picked up his bowl, opened his mouth, raised his neck, and a bowl of wine went down.

After drinking, Zhang Shun touched his mouth and shouted: "Good wine, or this wine tastes!" ”

Zhang Shun poured another bowl and drank it, and Zhang Heng immediately drank when he saw it: "Rules, this is Mr. Xu's wine!" ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "It's not in the way, although this wine has a taste, it's just too strong." It's okay for me to drink a little, but it's okay to drink too much, otherwise I wouldn't have kept this jar of wine given by the marshal until now. Jiro likes to drink, drink more wine. It's a favor for me! ”

Hearing Xu Guanzhong say this, Zhang Shun suddenly shouted: "Mr. Xu has said that he doesn't like to drink this wine, don't worry, big brother, as long as I go ashore, I will definitely buy dozens of jars of good wine and return it to Mr." I heard that Shaoxing rice wine is very good, sweet and delicious, I believe Mr. will like it! ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "I have also heard the name of Shaoxing rice wine, and I also want to buy it to taste it, since Erlang wants to serve, then I will be disrespectful!" ”

"Well said, wrap it up on me!" Zhang Shun happily poured another bowl for himself.

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "My younger brother is a rough man and doesn't know how to be polite, so Mr. laughs!" ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "He is a loyal and upright man, no wonder the marshal has always valued it very much!" ”

The three of them were on the deck, drinking wine and talking about some things they had seen at sea.

Zhang Shun drank another bowl of wine, sweating on his forehead, he took off his horse clip, touched the sweat on his forehead and shouted: "It's weird, I haven't drunk a few bowls of wine, why is it so hot!" ”

Zhang Heng heard it, looking at Zhang Shun's sweat on his head, he quickly got up in a panic, looked into the distance, the sky was dark and gloomy, he didn't feel a trace of sea breeze, it was very stuffy.

He frowned, dipped his index finger in a little saliva, and held it straight in the sea breeze.

After a while, his saliva dried up, and Zhang Heng inspected the sea, but he didn't even see a seagull.

Zhang Heng's face darkened, and he hurriedly shouted, "Damn, the storm is coming!" Jiro, damn it, stop drinking. Go and get the sails lowered. The heavy objects in the boat are all tied up for Lao Tzu! The soldiers also hurriedly told them to wake up, and hold on to the fixes around them, and if there were none, they hugged the hammocks. Tell them not to let go no matter what happens! ”

Hearing the shouts of the eldest brother Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun also knew that things were in trouble.

He also hurriedly shouted loudly and told his men to move quickly.

With the roar of Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, the herald hurriedly rang the gong, waved the order flag, and passed the order to every ship.

Soon, the sailors on each ship were mobilized.

Some hurriedly tied the barrels on the ship with ropes, and some hurriedly pulled ropes up the mast and untied the knots.

With a whist, the hard sail slid down.

The other sailors on the armor hurriedly tied up the hard sails.

Seeing that the canvas was tied, Zhang Heng hurriedly ran into the cabin to inspect the situation of those swordsmen and spearmen, and saw a soldier still holding his own spear.

Zhang Heng was suddenly furious, pushed the soldier down with one kick, and shouted: "You are looking for death!" At this time, you are still holding a spear, do you want to stab your brothers to death? Put your weapons in the bilge! ”

The soldier shouted with his head held high: "No, I told the leader, this spear is my most trusted companion, and I will never leave my spear at any time!" ”

Zhang Heng dared to talk back when he saw this, he didn't bother to explain to him at all, and directly knocked him down with a punch. "That's on land, now it's sea, everything is under my command, it's an order! Do you want to disobey military law and not be able to deal with it? ”

Zhang Hengke is a general, and when he saw that his subordinates had offended a general, he hurriedly shouted: "Ergou, obey the military order." Hurry up and put your spear in the bilge! ”

Hearing his immediate superior's words, the little soldier named Ergou reluctantly put his spear into the bilge.

Zhang Heng shouted loudly in the cabin: "Lao Tzu, no matter how you trained before, now put your weapons into the bilge, and then grab the fixed objects around you, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!" Got it? ”

Hearing Zhang Hengdi's roar, several more soldiers came out and put their weapons into the bilge.

Zhang Heng inspected the cabin again and saw that the artillery he relied on the most was tied.

Only then did he run back to the ship.

I was in a hurry to arrange things just now, and I forgot about Xu Guanzhong, but at this time Zhang Heng thought of him, and hurriedly ran back to the cabin, and saw Xu Guanzhong also grabbing a hammock.

He hurriedly pulled Xu Guan out of the ship, took a rope around his waist, and tied him to the mainmast.

Xu Guanzhong saw that he was busy and shouted: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Heng shouted as he tightened the tie-up: "Sir, you are the person that the marshal values. There are too many people in the cabin, and there are a lot of heavy objects, once Mr. hits or is hit by scattered heavy objects, and hurts his life, I, Zhang Heng, have ten lives that are not enough to resist my life. Sir, rest assured, as long as it is tied up, it is the safest here! ”

After being wound three or four times, Zhang Heng tried it, found that it was not loose, and shouted loudly: "Erlang, get here!" ”

Zhang Shun heard the shout and hurriedly ran over.

At this time, dark clouds had drifted over and enveloped the sea, and the sky was covered with black clouds like night.

The rain has not yet fallen, and the wind has already come.

A gust of wind blew, and the waves shook the sand boat.

Zhang Heng almost couldn't stand on his feet.

There's no time to think about anything else at this time.

Zhang Heng wrapped a rope around his waist and tied Zhang Shun to the mainmast.

Zhang Shun saw that the eldest brother was tying himself up, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what are you doing?" ”

Zhang Heng shouted: "Mr. Xu is a person valued by the marshal, you must be optimistic about Mr. If he has three long and two short, Lao Tzu will ask you! ”

Zhang Heng tied him with a rope, Zhang Shun saw that the eldest brother only tied himself, and he himself was still outside the circle, so he hurriedly said; "Big brother, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Heng shouted, "Lao Tzu doesn't need you to worry, remember, don't let Mr.'s rope break!" ”

Zhang Heng heard it and said anxiously, "Big brother, let me go quickly." You take care of Mr., I'm good at water, no matter how big the wind and waves, it's fine! ”

Zhang Hengda roared angrily, "I'm the eldest brother, and it's not your turn to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs!" ”

After shouting, Zhang Heng tied him with a rope to make it strong.

Just tied up his younger brother Zhang Shun.

The rainstorm is coming!

As the wind blew, after a while, a raindrop of soybeans fell from the sky, hitting the Kosaka and crackling.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and it was dark.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and then it exploded with a heavy bang, so scary!

In the storm, the sea surface is like a tumbling dragon king, and the boiling water of the rolling waves is undulating.

The monstrous waves crashed against the ships in waves.

In the face of huge storms and storms, the ship becomes like a humble bug, and may be slapped to death by the waves at any time.

The waves raised by the strong wind made the ship jolt violently, not to mention the ordinary infantry, even the sailors who had lived at sea for more than ten years were shaken by the waves at this time, feeling weak limbs, dizzy, and vomiting stomach.

I thought that Zhang Heng was making a fuss before, but at this time, they all grabbed the fixed objects in their hands. There are even quite a few people who directly grasp the hammock with both hands on their feet.

They hung in hammocks in the cabin and were rocked and rolled around.

During the rolling back and forth, many soldiers hit hard objects, and the heavy ones hit their heads directly, and blood flowed.

Screams and pains filled the cabin.

Xu Guanzhong, who was tied up, listened to the voice and felt a little creepy.

If it weren't for Zhang Heng's quick opportunity to tie himself to Kosaka, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape such a disaster.

Zhang Heng ran back to the stern of the boat, holding the rudder with both hands, looking at the cloudy canopy in the sky, the rapid rain hitting his body, his heart was extremely anxious.

Every time the waves hit the ship, Zhang Heng had to suffer an impact, but no matter what kind of impact he received, he held the rudder to the ship.

He knew that releasing the rudder at this time was purely looking for death, and being thrown overboard in this storm was basically lifeless.

Zhang Heng grabbed the rudder of the ship, and his hands were strangled with blood marks and heartache because he was too hard.

But at this time, he couldn't care at all, desperately controlling the direction of the boat, hoping to follow the waves as much as possible.
