There were corpses everywhere on the deck, including Zheng family soldiers and shipboard men. The hot blood flowed freely on the oak wood, still hot in some places, and condensed into the shape of tofu in others.

The wind was stronger, and it was strange to say, and the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by this gust of strong wind. Between the clouds and the clouds, a blue sky is revealed, and the bright golden sunlight casts down, illuminating everything brightly.

The people on the merchant ship were still breathing, everyone was covered in bruises, and their clothes were dyed red, but no one was bandaged, and they were too tired. The battle just now was short and intense, and it had already consumed all of everyone's strength.

Yu Xiang, the owner of the two ships, also sat on the deck, opening his mouth wide and vomiting, and he didn't feel it when he was fighting just now. After this stop, he began to get seasick again.

"Boss, I feel better." Luo Quanyou untied the gourd on his waist and handed it over.

Yu Xiang nodded, and took it into his mouth, but there was not half a drop of water. It turned out that I don't know when, someone cut a hole in the gourd with a knife, and the water inside had already flowed.

Throwing away the gourd depressedly: "Luo Quanyou, go up to the mast and take a look, who is my family and how many boats are coming?" ”

"Yes, sir." Luo Quanyou answered, and squeaked on the mast, he sat at the topmost position, hooked the mast with one foot, put his hand on the pergola, and shouted: "Sir, it's Brother Fang who is here." ”

"Ah, it's generous, damn it, sure enough, it's him, I know he won't forget my brother." Yu Xiang was overjoyed, and jumped up from the deck, about to climb up. It's a pity that he is too fat, and his arm is injured again, how can he climb up: "How many boats, how many boats?" ”

Luo Quanyou: "Mr. Xiaoyu, there are five boats. ”

As the two spoke, a fierce naval battle had begun, and all the Zheng family's ships lined up, turning their sides to the north and firing their cannons at the same time.

In the roaring cannon, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, forming a smoke dragon about four miles long

。

"Five boats, what's the use?" Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment and became annoyed: "Dafang, this guy, confused, isn't this sending him to death?" ”

"No, no, it seems that something is wrong, there is something strange about our ship. So fast, so fast! Luo Quanyou above cheered loudly: "Mr. Yu, this battle seems to have a door!" ”

"What, then I'll come up and take a look."

In fact, there was no need for Xiao Yu to climb the mast, and in the bright sunlight, five long and sharp white-sailed boats had already broken into view.

The ship was so strange in appearance, about thirty long in length, but only one and a half feet wide, nearly half thinner than Tagawa Jiro's flagship. But there are three masts, and there are fourteen large and small sails on them. Even more strange was the fact that the ship had outstretched sail booms on both sides of the ship with winged sails. The sea breeze is fierce, and so many sails are blown into a semicircle by the wind at the same time, gliding on the water, as if soaring into the air, it is dazzlingly fast.

In contrast, the Zheng family's ships were unbearably slow.

Even smaller ships are half a beat slower than them. Not to mention a few large warships like Tagawa's flagship, compared to these five strange ships, they are like snails.

As soon as the Zheng family's fleet opened up and blasted out the cannons, the five ships circled around the enemy's flank at a rapid speed.

Most of the merchant ships were experienced seafarers, who were stunned for a moment, and at the same time shouted: "Quick, really fast, this kind of ship is simply invincible in the ocean." ”

"At this speed, with all the sails spread, it runs at least forty miles in an hour. Oh my God, no boat can catch up. From Shandong to Japan, it can be reached in two or three days.

Five strange ships slid quickly across the sea as they fired their cannons.

The Zheng family's fleet was too clumsy to adjust its gun positions in a short period of time. By the time they had adjusted their positions, the five boats had already gone to the other side.

Soon, one of the Zheng family's ships was hit by a cannonball, and the scorching cannonball directly penetrated the deck.

Suddenly, there was a muffled noise in the cabin, and the ship swelled slightly. The deck was torn, and firelight flew into the air with the wreckage of human beings. Come to think of it, it must have been the shell that hit the gunpowder storage stone directly, causing the explosion

。

"Good!" The people on the merchant ship rejoiced, patting their hands on the deck, patting the shoulders of their companions, and patting everything they could.

In this way, the five strange ships kept spinning around the Zheng family's fleet, like butterflies wearing flowers.

Under this high-speed intersperse, although the Zheng family's warships kept firing cannons, they couldn't catch up with the trajectory of the ship, and they all fell into the air, only stirring up one column of water after another on the sea.

This situation of being passively beaten was too demoralizing, and in a moment, two more Zheng family's warships were hit by flowering shells, igniting a raging fire.

The sailors and sailors on the ship jumped into the sea like dumplings, and there was chaos in front of them.

The sky was full of ships, fires, and cannonballs, and the scale was so large, so majestic.

Jing Ran was deeply shocked by the magnificence of this naval battle, and couldn't stop muttering: "It's powerful here, it's so powerful...... There are so many kinds of these shells, some of them fall into a fire, and they can't be extinguished, and some of them explode directly into a ...... after they land."

"That's a burnout bomb and a flowering bomb." Yu Dixiang laughed excitedly: "What is your name Jing?" ”

"Back to the owner, .cc [marshmallow]," Jing Ran hurriedly replied.

"Oh, Jing Ran, but you don't know that this naval gun is not comparable to infantry artillery. The heaviest cannon used by this infantry is the Hongyi cannon, which is only a few thousand catties and a zhang long. But as long as it is loaded on a warship, as long as the ship can be moved, it may as well be made bigger. Moreover, our shells are different from ordinary ones...... You'll know when you have the chance. Probably realizing that he had more words, Yu Xiang laughed again: "Good guy, good guy, I know, I know." ”

On the top of the mast, Luo Quanyou laughed loudly and asked, "Mr. Yu, what do you know?" ”

Yu Xiang said with a smile: "The year before last, I heard from the owner that he invented a kind of warship called the flying clipper, which is very fast, presumably this is it." ”

Luo Quanyou: "Hey, don't really say it, these five strange boats are really like scissors." The owner is really a pedantic man, invincible in war, and these new things are also exquisite, sir, you say, is the owner the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou? ”

"What Zhuge Kong Ming, it's obviously a combination of Kong Ming and Zhao Zilong

！ ”

The five strange ships had been fighting with the Zheng family fleet on the ocean for a long time, and while they were talking, another Zheng family warship ignited a raging fire.

Black smoke began to spread across the sea, even enveloping the sun.

There was chaos in front of me, I couldn't see anything clearly, I only heard countless cannon fires in an endless stream, and finally they were connected into a piece, and I couldn't tell the difference.

"Ah, the main fleet of our army has arrived, it has arrived!" On the top of the mast, Luo Quanyou was swinging the cable and had a somersault.

"What, the main fleet has arrived, how many?" Below, all the people rejoiced and shouted in unison.

"I can't count it, I can't count it, but the number of large and small ships combined, at least fifty."

"Hooray, hooray!"

"Obediently, our owner has taken out all the family funds." Yu Xiang couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

The sound of cannons and shouts of killing was louder, and I don't know how long it was, maybe an hour, or maybe a moment.

On the top of the mast, Luo Quanyou, who looked at it, shouted again: "Retreat, retreat, the Zheng family's ship retreated, hehe, we have such a fast ship, can they escape?" ”

At this time, the smoke on the sea finally dissipated, but the sky also dimmed.

But I saw that there were countless boat shadows in the distance, tossing and falling on the sea level, all heading south at the maximum speed, and I couldn't tell which boat was which.

Gradually, the ships slowly sank into the place where the sea and the sky meet, and finally disappeared. Only an arc of sea level remains, stretching into the distance.

"It turns out that we really live on a ball, and when the general said this before, everyone still didn't believe it. But when I got to the sea today, I realized that this was the case. Muttering a sigh, Yu Xiang shouted to Luo Quanyou on the mast: "Come down, clean up, that generous guy will come back before dark, we are too messy here, don't let him see the joke." ”

"Yes, sir." Luo Quan slipped down, with an excited face: "I have long heard of Brother Fang's prestige, the battle of Huangcun, five hundred steps away from directly shooting the enemy horseman."

。 This kind of archery is amazing, and it is really admirable to the five-body throwing to the ground. It's a pity that I haven't had the fate to talk to him, and today is such an opportunity. ”

"Hmph, I've participated in all the battles that Dafang fought, why is it that the boy is so famous, and no one knows about me?" Yu Xiang muttered a few words, feeling a little sullen in his heart.

Over there, the people on the boat began to sweep up.

The deck was littered with corpses, carefully identified by the crowd. When you meet the enemy, you don't talk nonsense and throw it directly into the sea. If it is your own person, lift it aside, pile it together, and cover it with a canvas. Just wait for a free time and hold a sea burial funeral.

In fact, the sailors and men on this merchant ship were all recruited, and only a few of Yu Xiang and Luo Quan were members of the Ningxiang Army. What Yu Xiang's identity is, no one knows.

However, these sailors were old sailors. In these years, who dares to beg for food on the ocean, who is not a fierce man without martial arts. When encountering an enemy like the Zheng family, who is called an officer and soldier and actually operates a pirate business, it is natural that everyone is desperate.

By now, more than half of the sailors had been killed in battle, and almost all of the living were wounded.

Seeing that the companion who was still alive before had turned into a cold corpse, there was no trace of sadness on the face of the living person. The man of the rivers and lakes, the day he begged for a life in the waves, he regarded himself as a dead man.

The dead are gone, but the reward is real. With a "bang", a huge wooden box opened, and the white flowers inside were poured on the ground.

When I looked at it, it was an eagle with one penny.

Yu Xiang pointed to Yingyang all over the ground and said with a smile: "Brothers, hard work, this boat is over so far." This is the reward of the people, and you can take as much as you can. Wait a minute, I'm going to the treasurer's warship. If you yourself return to port on this ship, and you still want to work in my firm in the future, you are naturally very welcome. If you don't want to, the mountains and rivers are long, and you will see you again. ”

"Thank you, owner." The crowd cheered. The proprietor was so generous that he threw out so much silver at once. With everyone's strength, it is not a problem for one person to get dozens of taels of silver, which is enough for the old snacks at home for a few years. Although this trip is inexplicable, it is worth it.

Everyone bent down to pick up the eagle on the deck, even Jing Ran was no exception.

Although he and Leng Ying are the general banner and small banner of Jinyiwei, they only have about twenty taels a year

。 The official salary of the Ming Dynasty is notoriously low, even if it is a seventh-grade court official, it is not more than thirty taels all year round.

It was the time to use money at home, and he was also quick with his hands and feet, grabbed six eagles in one hand, and motioned Leng Ying, who was standing next to him, to hurry up and do it.

Leng Ying had already recovered from the chaotic state, and her eyes were glazed when she saw the silver flickering under her feet. He suddenly remembered that he had been very poor lately, and that he was in dire need of money. He leaned down and grabbed an eagle.

At this moment, an eagle was thrown at him and hit him in the forehead.

The force of this blow was so great that it immediately punched a bag on his forehead.

Leng Ying touched her forehead and looked up, but saw Luo Quanyou standing in front with a look of disdain, and sneered: "Useless cowardice, you are embarrassed to take the money, and you don't ask the brothers if they agree." ”

"Naturally, I won't agree." A man who was stabbed in the face and still bled after bandaging suddenly spit a mouthful of red spit on Leng Ying: "You are also born a talent, I am really blind, and you were your own brother a few days ago." ”

"Phew!" Another person spat out: "I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen someone as thick as you." ”

Leng Ying's face turned purple, clenched her fists tightly, and her body trembled with anger.

"Why, I want to do it." A sailor forced over and laughed: "Just like your soft egg, Lao Tzu poked you to death with one finger." Okay, good, do it, see how I teach you? ”

"What for?" Jing Ran wanted to take a step forward, protected Leng Ying, and glared at the man angrily: "He Lao Wu, if you bully my Leng brother, you are bullying me, you want to fight, okay, I will fight with you." ”

On weekdays, Jing Ran is kind and angry, and his face is bitter, but in today's battle, he killed the most enemies, which can be said to be majestic.

The person named He Lao Wu suddenly laughed, and arched his hand: "Brother Jing, you are a man, I admired the third brother in the battle just now, so naturally I won't do anything with you." It's a pity, it's a pity, you are such a good man, you have such a brother, and you are blind. ”

"It's still endless, I have the strength to fight, don't I have the strength to take the money, I don't want to take it back." Yu Xiang said: "Hurry up, Boss Fang's fleet is coming back." ”
