Chapter 155: Total Annihilation
Chapter 155: Total Annihilation
Boris observed the terrible situation of the opposite ship with a telescope, and he shouted: "Rush up, attack the third ship, and leave the second to the ships behind." ”
The sailors swerved with all their might, crossed the first ship, and rushed towards the third Great Song patrol ship behind.
Seeing the tragic situation of the first ship, the two Song ships in the back began to turn and prepare to escape.
The ships on Qishan Island were very fast, and Boris's ship chased after the third Song ship, constantly approaching.
The distance was only three hundred meters, and the bed crossbows and ballistas began to fire, and the continuous hits soon swept the deck of the Great Song patrol ship and brought down all the living creatures on board.
Boris looked back and saw that the warship behind was not ambiguous, and the second Song ship had already been solved.
Boris breathed a sigh of relief, this was the first time he had commanded a battle, and nothing had gone wrong.
Guo Jintao came over and said, "Old Bao, we can't stay alive, if we let the Great Song Shui Master know, we will have a lot of trouble." ”
Boris nodded, "Let the guards board the ship, then mend the knives, pour oil on them, and burn the ship." ”
Guo Jin laughed treacherously: "Haha, this is called destroying corpses and destroying traces, I like it!" ”
The guards approached the Song boat, cautiously jumped over, slaughtered all the people who were still alive, and then entered the cabin to search for fish that had slipped through the net. Kill the scattered soldiers and sailors you find.
The guards found some oil, poured it all over the ship, and set fire to three Song boats one after another.
When the three patrol ships of the Great Song Dynasty were burned, Boris ordered to set sail to chase the merchant ships.
There were also some ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, and when they saw the process of the battle just now, they all accelerated to dodge, and no one dared to meddle with their affairs.
The warships gradually moved away, the river was on fire, and the three Song ships were burning, like three huge torches.
After about an hour, the warship caught up with the four merchant ships in front. Boris boarded Choi's ship in a small boat and told him about the battle.
Cui Daoshu said with a solemn face: "Hey, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, I can only take one step at a time." I hope you don't let the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty find out that we did it. ”
Boris didn't care, "What if they knew?" With those few broken ships, they can't beat us at all. ”
Cui Daoshu asked, "Are there any casualties?" ”
"There were a couple of stupid people who were slightly injured, but nothing was wrong."
Cui Daoshu said: "We rushed to Jinling as soon as possible, and after trading with Cao Deshun, we will return to Qishan Island immediately, and don't enter the Yangtze River in the near future to avoid the limelight." ”
The fleet began to accelerate, and in the morning of the next day, came to the Jinling pier.
Cui Daoshu sent someone to inform Cao Deshun, and then had a large number of coolies hired to start unloading.
Boris left the ship in the care of a small number of sailors, and he and Guo Jintao took the lead in unloading, and the guards and sailors joined one after another, and everyone was in full swing.
After more than two hours, Cao Deshun and Cui Hong came with a convoy and a large number of people, and immediately put into unloading.
After Cui Daoshu and Cao Deshun greeted him, he pulled him into the cabin and told him about the battle with the Great Song patrol boat.
Cao Deshun was taken aback, he never expected that Cui Daoshu's two warships would kill three Song ships, which was too cruel!
Cui Daoshu said: "Brother Cao, after unloading these salts, we will go back immediately to avoid the limelight." You turn all the money into materials and transport them to Mingzhou, and we will hand them over in Mingzhou. Then you take the next batch of salt away, and we send ships to protect it. ”
Cao Deshun agreed, and the two went out of the cabin and watched the flow of unloading people.
Cao Deshun saw a tall man with very white skin and a burly figure. He carried the sack of salt, looked very relaxed, and trotted out of the boat.
Cao Deshun pointed at Boris, "Brother Cui Xian, who is that white-skinned man?" ”
"It's one of my brothers, named Boris, who is of Western ethnic Russians."
"Ethnic Russians? I've never heard of it. ”
"Brother Cao, the Russians live in the steppe thousands of miles away, and it's too far from here. My brother came here by sea when he was doing business in Persia. ”
"What a strong man he is! The body is so strong! ”
"Brother Cao, it was he who led the guards to defeat the patrol ship of the Great Song Dynasty."
Cao Deshun nodded, "I'll get to know him in a while and invite him to a drink." ”
By the evening, two ships had already finished unloading. Cui Daoshu offered a high price to let the coolies in Jinling continue to work, and the unloading must be completed tomorrow morning.
Cao Deshun also used his connections to find a large number of personnel to help unload the goods.
The docks were brightly lit, and hundreds of people toiled to carry bags of salt from merchant ships.
Boris was tired, so he put a bag of salt on top of the wagon and walked slowly towards the warship.
He wiped his sweat as he walked, gasping for air.
Cui Daoshu and Cao Deshun walked up to Boris,
"Lao Bao, let me introduce you, this is Cao Deshun, our partner."
Boris clenched his fists and said: "I have long admired Mr. Cao's name, Boris is polite." ”
Cao Deshun looked up at Boris, and was very surprised in his heart, this Hu man from the Western Regions spoke very good Chinese, which was completely different from those Persian merchants who spoke with their tongues rolled. He's definitely been living here for a long time.
Cao Deshun returned the salute, and then said: "Fortunately, fortunately, Mr. Bao's Chinese is really good, the words are round, if it weren't for your skin color being so white, I really thought you were Han." ”
The three of them chatted for a while, and Cao Deshun said: "Mr. Bao, Brother Cui Xian, I booked a banquet at the restaurant outside the dock, and I invite you two to enjoy it." ”
The two brothers glanced at each other, then agreed, and followed Cao Deshun to the outside of the dock.
Outside the wharf, several people walked to the door of a two-story restaurant, Boris looked up, and there was a plaque hanging under the eaves of the restaurant, with three big characters engraved on it, 'Qixia Building'.
Entering the restaurant, the steward of Caofu, who had been waiting here, greeted him, took the three of them to the second floor, and entered a private room.
The guy from the restaurant brought tea and snacks, and Boris was so hungry that he immediately began to eat it.
Cao Deshun said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, you eat slowly, there will be many dishes in a while." ”
Boris said vaguely: "I'll eat some first, I won't delay eating the food." ”
After a while, the table was full of food and drinks. Boris devoured it like a storm, and in a moment he wiped out more than half of the dishes.
Cao Deshun was dumbfounded, this product is too edible.
Boris was almost finished, so he slowed down and ate slowly.
Cao Deshun raised his glass and toasted to the two brothers.
Boris drank until the glass was dry, and after a while he drank half a jar of wine.
Cao Deshun said with emotion: "Mr. Bao, the amount of alcohol and food you have is very amazing, and you are still a fierce general, and you have sunk the three ships of the Great Song Dynasty. I think you can completely compare with the ancient famous general Fan Xu. ”
Boris put down his wine glass, "I know Fan Xu, he is the general of Han Gaozu, and he performed amazingly at the Hongmen banquet and saved Liu Bang's life. ”
Cao Deshun asked curiously: "Mr. Bao, can you tell me about the battle with the Great Song warship, I am very interested." ”
Seeing Cui Daoshu nodded, Boris told the story of the battle, he didn't mention the ballista, but said that the bed crossbow was very powerful and defeated all the ships of the Great Song Dynasty.
Boris gushed and spitted stars, and Cao Deshun was so fascinated by it that he forgot to eat.
Cui Daoshu smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that Boris, who was a little wooden before, had also changed a lot, and he must have been too deeply influenced by Du Dalei.
After a long time, Boris said that his mouth was dry, and finally he finished speaking.
Cao Deshun took a sip of wine, "Hey, the army of the Great Song Dynasty, the military discipline is too bad." A few days ago, news came from Hunan that Li Chuyun, the general of the Great Song Dynasty and the deputy privy envoy, marched by land to Lizhou, broke through the Ao Shan village of the Hunan army, and captured a large number of prisoners. ”
He sighed and said, "Hey, who knows that Li Chuyun selected dozens of fat people from the captives, threw them into the pot, cooked them and stewed them, and made them eat left and right." ”
"Ahh Is there such a thing? ”
"Is it true?"
Cao Deshun nodded, "It's definitely true." ”
"This is too cruel, isn't it, is it difficult that this Li Chuyun is a brute?"
"It's hard to believe."
Cui Daoshu and Boris were shocked, and Boris said angrily: "Is it so difficult that Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know? Isn't he a benevolent monarch? I don't care about such wicked people. ”
Cao Deshun shook his head and said, "Who knows, I think the army of the Great Song Dynasty is the army of tigers and wolves." After a long period of peace in the south, the armies of Tang and Wu Yue will definitely not be able to defeat the Great Song Dynasty, and according to my estimates, the Great Song Dynasty should be able to unify the world. It's just a matter of time. ”
Cui Daoshu and Boris glanced at each other, and even businessmen like Cao Deshun could see that the unification of the world by the Great Song Dynasty was unstoppable.
Cui Daoshu said solemnly: "Brother Cao, you don't have to be pessimistic, if there is really that day, you will lead your family to the sea in advance, our brother has occupied several islands overseas, and it will definitely allow your family to live and work in peace and contentment." ”
Cao Deshun was very moved, "Brother Cui Xian, if there is a day, I will definitely take the whole family to join you." ”
Cui Daoshu thought of an idea, and he said to Cao Deshun: "Brother Cao, the military discipline of the Song army is very poor, they will definitely burn and loot all the way, and there will be a lot of displaced people in the Jinghu area. You can contact Wang Mingjun, a merchant in Jinghu, and ask him to collect the displaced people as soon as possible and send them to Mingzhou. I would trade with him for spirits and let him sell spirits exclusively in the Jinghu area. ”
Cao Deshun slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Brother Cui Xian, you are really a genius in business!" Now there must be a large number of displaced people in the Jinghu generation, and it doesn't cost much money to get a large number of them. Wang Mingjun is a local snake, and he must have a way to collect a large number of displaced people. You use liquor as bait, and he'll take the bait. At that time, you can get a large number of people for a small price. It's a great deal. ”
