Chapter 519: Why Do You Have to Take the Risk?
Kasnar hurriedly looked back, only to see that the last two ships of the team had already burst into flames. Seeing that the two battleships could not be saved by the fire, his face suddenly turned red.
Changxingjun gave him a fatal blow every time he was most proud, and he could always beat him to the ground.
"What's going on?" Castle no longer had the gentlemanly demeanor of the past, and asked the first mate beside him with a cold face.
"Your Excellency, Commander! One hundred and ten Changxing soldiers appeared on the bank of the river, and they set fire to our warships with flying torches on the riverbank! The first mate hurriedly said.
"Are you all blind? The enemy did not know that he was close to the river bank. Now what are you waiting for? Don't fire yet, bombard the abominable infidels! God will punish them severely! Castle had lost his mind and roared loudly at the first mate.
The first mate promised to carry out the order, but in his heart he despised Castle. They all did not find the enemy, why should they reprimand themselves. But he didn't dare to say it, but he took his anger out on the others.
"Shoot! You stupid pigs, do you want the damned heretics to burn down our ships? The first mate shouted to the gunners in the gun compartment.
At this time, the other warships also reacted and joined the ranks of the team that shelled Lao Mazi.
Lao Mazi looked at the burning battleship on the river and was happy. The credit for burning the two ships was in hand, and before he could take off his bag, the gunfire of the Ganlas fell on them.
"Run! Scatter and run! If you run slowly, you won't be able to enjoy any credit if you are killed! The old pockmark shouted and ran towards the woods with his bags on his back.
Everyone else emptied the Divine Fire Flying Duck in their backpacks, and they ran as fast as they could. Quickly ran into the woods during the shelling and disappeared.
Only Lao Mazi was sad, he just counted others, and forgot to beat his Divine Fire Flying Duck out.
Carrying a heavy package on his back, he dragged at the back of the line and became a target for the Ganlas. He hadn't gone far when a cannonball came at him.
The cannonball landed exactly three feet at Lao Mazi's feet, and the flying stones hit Lao Mazi's legs. Lao Mazi fell into the grass with weak legs, and he didn't dare to move when he was lying on the ground.
The cannonballs kept whistling overhead, and the old pockmark buried his head in the grass and stuck it in the ground. In his heart, he prayed that the Ganlas could not see him, and quickly stopped the shelling.
After a while, the shelling of the Ganlasi people stopped, and the Changxing army that had entered the forest probed their heads one by one to check the whereabouts of Lao Mazi.
They ran into the depths of the woods only to realize that the captain was missing. Although the Changxing Army did not have the military regulations for the loss of the main body to behead all of them, they could not just escape.
They turned around to find the captain, a soldier in the woods in the distance. As soon as he wanted to inquire into the river, he saw a hand stretched out from the grass and waved at him.
The soldier was overjoyed and shouted, "I'll just say it!" Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years! How could someone like the captain be killed, you still don't believe it......"
The old pockmarked man lying in the grass grinned angrily, he remembered this kid. Just as he was about to reprimand, the gunlas fire resumed and fired at the soldier.
This thing can't care about the poor mouth anymore, so he turns around and runs. The cannonball hit a large tree, splashing chopstick-thick sawdust on his ass. He rolled and crawled into the woods, dragged to safety by his companions.
While helping him pull out the sawdust, his companion reprimanded: "Are you stupid, boy? The blind can see that the captain told you not to come, and you are still yelling there. I don't complain at all now, see if you kid is still poor? ”
……
The black smoke from the burning ship of Galen rose so high that it could be seen from afar. Wu Shuang stood in a small boat behind the killer whale battleship and said to the Changxing army beside him: "Everyone! Success or failure is in this move, and the official has set up a banquet in Tamsui City. When you return, it will be the moment when the banquet begins! ”
In front of him, hundreds of soldiers and Han Chinese people on nearly 100 boats or rafts, as well as some indigenous soldiers, all stood up and saluted, and then drank all the wine bags in their hands and threw them into the river.
The sound of brass whistles sounded, and the men rowed their boats or rafts and began to circle the orca battleship, rushing towards the flotilla of Gonlas in the distance.
The current here is fast, and the boats that go down the river are extremely fast, and soon reach the eyes of the Ganlas.
Kasnar was depressed at the moment, his fleet was only seven warships lurking on the surface. Half a day less than when he set out from Manila, the orca battleship in front of him was so hateful in his eyes.
If it was possible, he wanted to devour his enemies alive, and if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to vent his anger at all. is obviously stronger than the enemy, but he is extremely aggrieved in every battle.
Even if he wins now, he can't feel any glory, and he only has the goal of killing Changxing Army to vent his anger.
"Your Excellency, Commander! The water here is too narrow, and if the enemy sets fire again, we can't resist, isn't it ......?" reminded the first mate in a whisper beside Casnar. As a qualified first mate, he has the responsibility to alert the captain when he makes a mistake in judgment.
The battle is obviously unfavorable, so we should retreat decisively and find another way, instead of staying here and fighting the enemy to the death. If you continue like this, you will fall into the trap of the enemy step by step, and in the end, even God will not know what the end will be.
But Kasnar was already carried away by anger, and he not only did not take the advice of the first mate.
glared at the first mate angrily and said, "Are you asking me to be a deserter?" Are you trying to get me away like a coward? Tell you not to think! You've been peeking into the captain's position for a long time! If I run away, you'll be the captain? Tell you, dream! You won't be the captain of the ship in the next life, and I, Kasnall, will lead the fleet to victory after victory! ”
The first mate didn't speak, and turned to leave. In his opinion, the captain has gone mad, and someone must stop him, otherwise the entire fleet will be buried on Taiyuan Island.
At this time, many small boats and rafts on the Tamsui River bypassed the orca warships and rushed towards the fleet of the Ganlas.
On the raft, the soldiers of the Changxing Army said to a villager of the Wang family: "Wang Shugen! Why do you want to take risks? ”
"To be able to eat meat! Your armor is really exciting, if I can join the Changxing Army, will I be able to wear this armor? Wang Shugen's eyes were full of excitement.
"Yes! Absolutely! As long as you can survive two months of recruit training. What about you? Ashuka! ”
Ashuka was a captive native, and his tribe often exchanged goods with the Han Chinese, so he could speak a few words of Chinese.
"Ashuka admires only the strong warriors, and it is the tradition of the Gaoshan people to follow the strong. The strength of the Changxing Army will make countless warriors join! Ashuka said with a bowed head.
