Chapter 476: Indifference!
Zhang Huan led more than a dozen Fu boats at the end of the fleet and headed towards the edge of the storm. In order to get out of the storm quickly, Zhang Huan did not give the order to lower the sails.
The wind grew stronger, and the squalla swept through the fleet with huge waves. The warships in the fleet turned around and headed towards the edge of the storm, and in this case, plunging headlong into the storm was a purely death-seeking act.
Fukufune, who was in the fleet, also chose a target and followed behind the battleship. The huge hull of the battleship can cleave the waves, and as long as you follow the battleship, you can ensure your own safety to the greatest extent.
Zhang Huan's battleship was the latest to turn around, and his battleship was blown to a rocking by the storm. Even the sturdy hull makes a tooth-wrenching sound, and the mast is blown into a curved shape by the wind. The original sun in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the whole sky turned gray.
Looking at the somewhat tilted battleship, Zhang Huan calmly gave an order: "Lower two layers of sails!" Immediately a sailor climbed up the mast that was crumbling by the wind, and put away the sails that were almost broken by the wind.
They worked in pairs to tie the sails to the beams and carefully climbed down the slippery mast. This kind of climbing up and down the mast in a storm is no easier than adjusting the sails in an engagement.
The slippery mast can fall into the sea at any time, and there is only one possibility of falling into the water in such bad weather, and that is death.
Two layers of sails fell, and the battleship was indeed better. It's not as tilting as it was just now, but the speed of the ship will go down.
Zhang Huan glanced at the sky, where a storm was raging. If I hadn't moved fast enough, I am afraid that I would have been torn to pieces by the wind and waves.
A little fire could be faintly seen in the gray sea behind him, and it was the Fubune that followed behind the battleship. Their ships were much slower, and if they weren't for the warships, they wouldn't have escaped the hellish storm.
I don't know how long it took, but the wind seemed to light up a bit, and the rain didn't fall as quickly as it had just been. Zhang Huan's heart was finally relaxed, and he ordered: "Put down all the sails, we are safe!" ”
The sailors cheered, and they jumped on the deck despite the still fierce winds. Every time there is a storm at sea, it is like fighting with death, and the slightest mistake can destroy the ship and kill people.
They are glad they have an experienced captain who will lead them to victory over death time and time again.
Jiang Yong was the lookout on this ship, and because the battleship was about to reach its destination, he was distracted on the watchtower.
Unaware of the impending storm, the entire fleet was thrown into dangerous territory. It is not known what the damage to other ships was, but how could a storm of this magnitude have no casualties.
He was full of self-reproach, and although the captain did not immediately order himself to be punished, he was the first to go up to the mast every time.
Snatching the most dangerous work to do it himself, he has to make up for his mistakes, at least to make his heart feel better.
When he heard the news that he had escaped the storm, his excitement was difficult to express. The first climbed the mast and headed for the highest upper sail.
At the top of it was the watchtower where he was on duty, and he came to the sail with ease, and reached for the cable tied to the canvas.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the air, and the sail, which had been strong in the storm, suddenly broke.
The wind blew Shangfan and Jiang Yong into the sea together, and Jiang Yong grabbed the cable at the moment of crisis. He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, the cable was his only way to survive.
The sailors on the orca battleship, along with Zhang Huan, were shocked by the scene in front of them, the sails were broken to nothing, and there were spare sails on board.
But Jiang Yong's accidental fall into the water made everyone worried, and when they saw Shangfan and Jiang Yong floating on the sea, people's hearts relaxed.
Many people gathered at the side of the boat and shouted loudly at Jiang Yong, who was struggling on the sea: "Jiang Yong! Climb up the cable, you're done! Hang on! Don't let go! ”
Jiang Yong has been holding the cable tightly after falling into the water and has not let go, and he wiped the seawater on his face vigorously. Crawling hard towards the killer whale battleship in torrential rain and big waves, every step forward requires tremendous effort.
Just as the sailors were cheering for Jiang Yong, the sea breeze suddenly became stronger. The wind and the waves blew the sails a little farther away from the hull, and the original cables were suddenly stretched straight. If it weren't for Jiang Yong's firm grip, he would have fallen into the sea.
Then the hull of the ship was slowly tilted down by the sails in the sea, and the hearts of the sailors were instantly tense.
Zhang Huan looked at Jiang Yong, who was struggling in the sea, expressionlessly, and ordered: "What are you doing on this side?" Do you want the boat to capsize? Don't hurry up to the other side! ”
The sailors immediately ran to the other side of the ship, hoping to use their body weight to keep the ship from leaning. But the weight of the sailors and the forces of nature were not worth mentioning at all, and although they were all to one side, it was not possible to organize the tilt of the hull.
Jiang Yong, who was in the sea, saw that the hull of the ship had tilted into an exaggerated angle, and even the most extreme turn that he usually practiced did not reach this level.
He knew that he should make his own decision, and he couldn't let himself involve a boatload of brothers. He shouted with all his might in the middle of the sea: "Captain! Cut the cable! The ship is about to capsize, and I, Jiang Yong, have never regretted being a Changxing Navy Navy! ”
"Nope! Come on, Jiang Yong! You can do it! First mate Ma Le shouted, and the other sailors followed suit. Although Jiang Yong's negligence led to the danger, who could have predicted the storm at sea?
The feelings between the robes prevailed over reason, and even Zhang Huan, who had always been calm, grabbed the side of the boat tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were exposed, making difficult decisions.
Seeing that the killer whale battleship leaned again, Jiang Yong knew that he couldn't wait. He shouted towards the battleship: "Brothers! Let us be brothers in the next life! Changxing Army wins! ”
After shouting, Jiang Yong let go of the cable, rolled in the waves a few times and disappeared. Zhang Huan pulled out the steel knife at his waist and roared loudly: "Ah! ”
The steel knife slashed at the straight cable, and the cable broke in response. The huge hull of the killer whale battleship quickly returned to normal, and the sailors did not see Jiang Yong let go, and ran over to check the situation.
I saw the sail drifting farther and farther away on the sea, and gradually I couldn't see the shadow.
"Captain! ......The sailors felt as if they had a big rock in their hearts, and they wanted to vent their words but didn't know where to start.
Blame Captain Zhang Huan for his ruthlessness? Everyone knows the only way to cut the cable in that situation. But for a long time, Changxingjun's concept of not abandoning and not giving up made them unable to accept the fact that they couldn't accept it, and watching Pao Ze die made everyone's hearts heavy.
The sailors who had nowhere to vent sat silently on the ground, their faces covered with tears or rain at some unknown age.
There was silence on the entire orca battleship!
