"Sail!"

"Set sail!"

With Lao Wang's excited roar, the hard sails were lowered on the high mast, and the sailors on the big Mulan boat shouted the trumpet shirtless and twisted the iron anchor in the water together.

Lao Wang holds the compass in one hand and steers the other hand.

The sky is high and cool, and the autumn wind is hunting.

The sails rattled, and the big magnolia boat moved slowly.

The ship full of hundreds of people sailed towards the blue sea, and some of the young men of Li Xiao's personal guards standing on the deck couldn't help but faint.

As soon as the boat moved, they felt dizzy.

Some people endured the hardship, but after a while, they couldn't help but lie on the side of the boat and start vomiting.

The northerners rode horses, and the southerners operated boats.

These teenagers from Lanxi Township lived in the Qinling Mountains in the past, although there was also a Blue Creek in front of their house, but it was okay to take a bath in that river, but if it was said that they took a boat and took a boat, in fact, most of the teenagers came out this time to get on the boat for the first time.

Although I have been on a boat in the Hanshui Yangtze River, the boat is not the same on the river as in the sea. The sea is bigger, and the wind and waves are more urgent.

In the Yangtze River, the Jiutou Jiao is very large and runs smoothly. But as soon as you go out to sea, the waves rise and fall, and the nine-headed Jiao keeps going up and down.

The teenagers who thought they had adapted to the boat couldn't help but vomit again.

Quite a few mercenaries and auxiliaries also vomited.

Lao Wang said disdainfully, "Let them vomit, they will get used to spitting and spitting, but after spitting, they have to wipe the boat clean for Lao Tzu by themselves." Lao Tzu's ship is not allowed to have these filths. ”

Li Xiao stood on the deck, letting the ship rise and fall, but his face remained unchanged. He didn't get seasick, and it wasn't the first time he had gone to sea.

Standing on the deck, he only felt the sea and the sky.

It's the feeling of flying, it's the feeling of freedom. After leaving Chang'an, he is no longer willing to be a man with his tail between his legs all day long, and he doesn't have to calculate all day long.

Riding the wind and breaking the waves do not match the name at all, they did not dare to ride the wind and waves, but like two little followers, honestly like a little daughter-in-law followed behind the nine-headed Jiao, three boats sailed in the sea in a zigzag shape, setting off bursts of white waves.

Zhao Zhiman tried his best to maintain his image, but his face was not good-looking, although he did not vomit in shame, but he also endured hardship.

As a man in Guanzhong, Zhao Zhiman is very good at horseback archery, and he is sought after by the noble children of Chang'an, but on this sea, he looks very lame.

"The swordsmen in Guanzhong, the Xiangma in Shandong, the water thieves in Jianghuai, the green forests in Hebei, all of our brothers from the mountains and the south and the north on this boat, come from all over the world, but it seems that most of them are not very suitable for the waves. This is not good, although we are going to the Korean Peninsula, but we have this advanced Mulan boat and excellent sailors, then this is our advantage, and we cannot abandon it. Maybe in the future, we will have to go to sea by boat often, and take advantage of the long coastline of the Korean Peninsula and our sharp sailing skills to play with these Dongyi. ”

Zhao Zhiman said unconvinced, "I can tame no matter how strong the horse is, I don't believe that I can't get used to this wave." ”

Sailing on the sea is lonely, with nothing but three lonely magnolia boats. Even the farther you sail, the more you can't see the seabirds.

Sailors who sail on the sea are very fond of seabirds, because the presence of seabirds means that they are not far from the shoreline. Not seeing seabirds for a long time can make them panic.

But this time Lao Wang was not afraid, he kept staring at the compass and constantly correcting the direction. He also used his own astrology to verify the accuracy of this compass from time to time, and found that it was very troublesome to use astrology, and it was very hard to calculate the exact direction, but the compass was clear at a glance, and it didn't need to be so complicated at all.

At the beginning, every half hour, Lao Wang would carefully calculate, and then verify with the compass, but after doing so several times, he found that every time the compass was fine, Lao Wang was too lazy to be so careful. He began to use the astrology once to calculate the bearing, and the rest was just to look at the compass.

"It's a bit boring!"

Zhao Zhiman slowly adapted to the bumps in the sea, and stood on the deck boringly.

It's really boring, except for the blue sky is the blue waves, although it looks beautiful at first, but after watching it for a long time, I feel visual fatigue.

It's been a long time since I've seen a single seabird, which means they've gone deep into the sea.

"It's boring."

I've heard that on the route from Dengju to North Korea, pirates are sometimes encountered. But this time the route they ran was a direct route to the deep sea, and only people like Lao Wang had tried it a few times before, but no one had succeeded yet.

Li Xiao: This is the first direct voyage to the deep sea in the true sense, where can they meet pirates here.

"I'm going to sleep, and I'll wake up when I see the coastline of Goguryeo." Zhao Zhiman yawned.

"Okay, you can go to sleep first."

Li Xiao prefers this deck, although the Mulan boat is quite big, but this time it is full of nearly 800 people, in fact, it is already a little overloaded, if it is not for the short distance and short time of the direct flight, so there is no need to load many supplies and supplies, it would not dare to do this at all.

If you take the old route, as soon as you get close to the moon, you have to bring a lot of supplies, and you have to enter the port to replenish freshwater, vegetables, meat, etc. along the way.

However, this route is a maximum of three days, so there is no need for much resupply at all.

Dozens of crew sailors, then twenty personal guards, two hundred mercenary regiment soldiers, five hundred auxiliaries, plus some supplies, a full ship.

The cabin was full, and the crew slept in hammocks, lying in a row at the bottom, and hoisting one layer above, squeezed like a canned fish, and the air was poor.

It's still comfortable on this deck, although there is a stern on the deck, which is the captain's room, but the place is not big, and it is still comfortable to blow the wind and bask in the sun on the deck.

Li Xiao couldn't help falling asleep while the sea breeze was blowing.

I don't know how long it took, Lao Wang woke him up, and it was dark at this time.

I set off in the early morning, and I had already been running for a day at this time.

"Where?" Li Xiao asked.

Lao Wang pointed to the seabirds hovering over the ship with some excitement.

"I did it, I really did it, from Dengju to Goguryeo, in just one day, I arrived."

"Have you arrived?"

"Look at those birds, what lovely birds, they are welcoming us. There will be a coastline not far ahead, and we have really arrived. Lao Wang was a little excited.

It was his first successful non-stop voyage to Goguryeo, and he had tried it the last time, but he had set out from Dengju and had to wake up on the shores of Goguryeo for seven full days, his ship sinking in the sea, and the crew and sailors were killed in the storm and died in the belly of the fish.

And this time, in just one day, he arrived.

It only took five hours.

"You made history!" Li Xiao patted Lao Wang's shoulder, and said to the excited Lao Wang with a smile. Although Li Xiao was not very excited, he sailed for more than 300 miles in ten hours, and still rode the monsoon, which was very average.

"I did it, I did it, I really did it." Lao Wang muttered, his eyes were misty, and the whole person was fascinated.
