Chapter 114 The Sea
In order to hurry, Di Feng only rested in Yangzhou for three days, and the fleet set sail towards Liaodong, as soon as he entered the sea, Jiangzhongshi became a madman, the golden drums sounded in unison, the geese marching array, the blade array, and the long snake array changed from each other non-stop, Jiangzhongshi, who had participated in the battle of the Baijiang River and fought against the pirates many times in Lin Zhihuan's fleet, knew a lot about naval warfare, how to use the wind and undercurrent; how to avoid reefs; He used the time of sea voyage to conduct intensive training on how to use slap rods, crossbows, gun carriages, rockets, torches, oil scoops, oil bags, etc.
The combat power of the crew and the navy has been greatly improved, but Di Feng and Tian Yangming, the "landlubbers" who grew up in the inland and never went to the sea, the magnificence of the sea only amazed everyone for one day, and then there was seasickness and vomiting all the time, and even a tower-like man like Shi had vomited and turned pale, and his limbs collapsed on the deck weakly.
"The wind is southeast, and the enemy is ...... ahead," the lookout on the mast shouted warning.
"The order goes down to the bow of the ship, turns left, sails downwind, and the yacht explores again," Jiang Zhongshi listened to the warning of the lookout, and stood on the tower to convey the instructions loudly.
Di Feng lay on the side of the ship, glanced at it weakly, and said secretly in his heart, "Obediently, what kind of enemy is this?" It's clearly a few whales! ”
The stone also got up and took a look, and couldn't help exclaiming, "God, this is a fish demon!" Reliable and unstoppable! ”
Jiang Zhongshi glared at the stone angrily when he heard this, and said sharply to Su Zhen: "Where is the judicial joining the army?" ”
Su Zhen hurriedly said: "Obey orders!" ”
"Xuanjie Lieutenant Shi vigorously disturbed the morale of the army, according to the military staff fifty, but read his first offense. The first staff is ten military sticks, and the rest is recorded for observation. Judicial enlistment of the military you bring a record of supervision. After Jiang Zhongshi finished speaking, he didn't look at the stone with a bitter face, and looked up at the sea.
The stone is Di Feng's personal guard. He was the main patriarch of Ningzhou again, and after listening to Jiang Zhongshi's military order, Su Zhen didn't know whether to take the stone or not, he stood in place and looked at Di Feng inquiringly.
Di Feng said with a smile: "Zhongshi is the commander of the naval army, I have to obey his orders on this ship, Shi should be punished for violating military regulations, and Su joined the army to carry out the military orders of Commander Jiang quickly." After speaking, he looked at the stone and scolded with a smile: "You deserve it!" If I were to do it, I would have beaten you so hard that you couldn't get out of bed, Commander Jiang had already been extrajudicially gracious, what are you doing with a bitter face."
The stone was taken away by Su Zhen. Although Jiang Zhongshi on the ship's floor looked at the sea and didn't pay attention to the deck, he listened to Di Feng's words, and couldn't help nodding to Di Feng in his heart, punishing the stone was his intention, and he had to see Di Feng's reaction, now it seems that Di Feng really gave power to himself, and the most taboo thing about marching and fighting is not to let go, with Di Feng's statement. Jiang Zhongshi is confident that the Ningzhou Navy will shine in Liaodong.
"A thousand steps away from the enemy!" The lookout sent another warning.
"Order the yachts to separate, the gun carriages to prepare, and wait for the enemy to enter and deal with it on their own," Jiang Zhongshi's order was issued again.
"Jiang Zhongshi is going to use whales to train soldiers and courage!" Di Feng looked at the whales that were already clearly visible on the sea and guessed Jiang Zhongshi's intentions, and the newly recruited sailors were almost all inlanders. No one has ever seen such a big fish, and it is inevitable that they will be afraid when they see a whale for the first time.
Sure enough, when the crew saw such a big fish, they thought it was a kraken. Everyone was frightened and didn't dare to make a loud noise, for fear of being heard by the fish demon. But the military order is below. Seeing Captain Shi being pressed to the ground and beaten, everyone could only suppress their fear in their hearts. Bite the bullet and prepare for the battle.
"Five hundred paces away from the enemy, two attacks by artillery cart stone shells!" The gunner's voice trembled, and he gave the order to attack.
Buzzing! With a few sounds, dozens of pounds of stone shells were thrown by the gun truck, but due to the nervousness of the gunners, the stone shells only caused a huge splash near the whale, and none of them were able to hit the whale.
The whales on the surface of the sea were frightened and turned around and fled into the distance.
Seeing that the fish monster was scared away, everyone on the boat couldn't help but let out a cheer except for Di Feng and Jiang Zhongshi.
Jiang Zhongshi stopped everyone's cheers loudly with a calm face, "One hit missed, and the enemy escaped, do you still have the face to cheer?" Command to sail in pursuit! The front of the fighting ship protruded, and the winch salvo! ”
Two hours later, a huge whale carcass was dragged by the fighting ship.
The fleet fell sails in a zigzag shape and stopped, and everyone around this huge "fish demon" looked at it strangely, rubbing the stone on the buttocks, and stretching out his neck to look at the whale and ask Di Feng, "Master!" You said that after eating the meat of this fish demon, can we live forever? After speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had just been beaten because he had shouted the fish demon, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Jiang Zhongshi, for fear that he would hear it and be beaten again.
"You'll know if you eat it, pass the order, and divide this big fish in a while, and we will all eat fish today!" Di Feng said with a smile.
It seems that there are many people who have the same idea of eating fish demons to live forever as stones, and a whale was divided into several pieces, and every ship in the fleet was divided into some, and it entered everyone's stomachs in an instant.
The fish demon was eaten by everyone, and the fleet set sail again, but only one day later, the sequelae came, and the originally clear sky on this day was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and huge waves came one after another, and many people on the crew of the ship have begun to exclaim "This is the fish demon in revenge".
Jiang Zhongshi took the chart provided by Lin Zhihuan, found the nearest shelter from the wind, and ordered a rapid sail while letting five sea falcons sail around the periphery to wrap the boat inside to block the wind and waves.
Chou'er was the most excited when he ate fish, and now he saw the big waves, and he was frightened to hide behind Di Feng and refused to stay away, Di Feng turned around and carried Chou'er to the ship, found a stable beam and tied Chou'er to the beam, and said "Hold the pillar here" and hurried back to the deck despite Chou'er's shout.
Fortunately, there were old crew members sent by Lin Zhihuan on the ship, these people were very experienced, and they calmed the panicked novices while directing everyone to avoid the waves that came up.
As soon as Di Feng arrived on the deck, he saw a soldier being hit by a wave and flew away, and the person flew out of the ship with an exclamation in the air. But because the hull of the ship shook so badly, Di Feng didn't borrow enough strength, and the person caught it, but he also fell to the sea.
Su Jin saw that Di Feng was in danger, and he also followed Di Feng's example, grabbed a cable and ran out; Su Zhen's leg and foot kung fu is not as good as Di Feng, but this light body technique is much higher than Di Feng, others are like swallows, at the moment when Di Feng is about to touch the water, he grabbed Di Feng, with the pull of the cable, the foot is a little water, the person came back again, and waited until the halfway point to the boat again, and the two longitudinal crossed back to the boat.
Jiang Zhongshi watched Di Feng fall out of the boat in order to save people, and he was already frightened into a cold sweat, if this Di Feng has three long and two short, how the court will punish himself for the time being, these Di Feng's personal guards alone will not be able to spare themselves. He was about to gather people to immediately dive into the water to save people, and he was relieved to see Su Zhen come up with Di Feng. (To be continued.) )
