Chapter 337: Naval Battle
Both sides are wooden ships. However, because of the vastly different weapons, the situation in the battle was clearly one-sided.
Amid the roar of artillery, three enemy ships collapsed, bubbled and sank into the sea. On the surface of the sea, there are burning wooden blocks and various supplies floating everywhere.
The sailors who jumped into the water to survive screamed and splashed as they swam towards their own boats.
But when they saw several other pirate ships, rushing towards them at great speed. The samurai who were dying in the sea were completely desperate.
Bang, the partition of the hatch opened, and a mysterious weapon of great power peeked out of the small hole with a hideous barrel.
"Ignition!"
"Ignition!"
In the pirates shaking steel knives and roaring wildly, the mysterious weapon once again showed its great power. Tongues of fire spewed, and swarthy shells hit the ships.
In the skyrocketing firelight, explosions sounded one after another.
The blue smoke of gunpowder filled the sea, covering the sky.
The big ship that was hit collapsed and exploded in an instant. One of them was directly blown off the keel, and the entire big ship broke in the middle. The crunch, huge sails became the last straw that broke the camel's back at this time. The high mast fell, crushing the ship into the sea.
Moreover, at the last moment of falling, the long mast miraculously suppressed the flagships beside him who were rapidly evading.
With a snap, the mast directly smashed the half-pulled deck of the flagship, and several soldiers who couldn't dodge were directly hit and died tragically on the spot.
On this mast, which was broken in the middle, the dense ropes immediately pulled the flagship, which was leaving in a hurry, on the spot. There was a creak, a huge pull, and the flagship shook for a while.
On the flagship, one of Dongying's officers brandished a steel knife and roared wildly, urging the soldiers to cut the cable.
However, it is clear that at this juncture, when every moment can determine the complete victory of a normal battle, such a mutation is simply deadly.
When the soldiers finally cut the cable and pushed the half of the mast into the water. Just as they were about to return to their posts and flee by boat. When he looked up, he found that he was already under siege.
All around them, the pirate ships had surrounded them. The hideous cannons were aimed at the already dilapidated battleship.
On deck, the ragged pirates stepped on the cables, shaking their glittering steel knives while chirping and shouting ugly Goryeo curses.
He looked excited, as if he had eaten something.
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!"
On the pirate ship, there was a wave of shouting. With the cold and shining steel knife in the sun, it made people panic.
"General, they speak Dongying dialect!" A soldier rushed to the front of the military attache of Dongying, with tears on his face, and said poignantly.
"Let's surrender!" The soldier fell to his knees with a thud, grabbed the general's trouser leg, and cried out loudly.
"Disturb the morale of the army!" The general's face twisted, and he looked gloomily at the soldier who had no fighting spirit, and the katana in his hand swung down violently, and he was about to behead the soldier.
The general held the bloody steel knife in his hand and shouted gloomily: "Damn it! ”
The soldiers around them, who were seriously wounded, were even more frightened and uneasy when they saw the general kill his colleagues on the spot.
"Ignition!" At this time, the order to attack was again given from the opposite corsair ship.
Boom...... There were three loud bangs, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the shells fell again.
"General be careful!" The personal guard beside him exclaimed in surprise and pushed the general to the ground.
As soon as the two of them fell to the ground, a cannonball on the deck exploded, countless flying sawdust, and shrapnel, instantly killing the few samurai who couldn't dodge on the spot.
Flesh and blood flew and splattered all over the ground.
In the smoke of gunpowder, the general lying on the ground shook his body and shook off the pieces of wood on his body. Standing up and looking up, looking at the pirate who continued to shake the steel knife and shouted loudly, his face was gloomy and he was about to squeeze out of the water.
"These Goryeo maniacs!" The military attache of Dongying had an ugly face, holding a Dongying sword, and looked at those crazy and shouting pirates with a gloomy scolding.
"General, what should we do?" Beside him, the black-faced soldier looked at the four or five pirate ships, his eyes full of horror, and his heart was extremely panicked.
yes, what to do?
Hearing this, General Dongying was stunned for a moment, the expression in his eyes changed unpredictably, and the katana in his hand was also loosened and clenched.
Sweat was pouring on his forehead, and he raised his hand to wipe the sweat. When I looked up, I looked at the pirate ship in the distance, and I was terrified.
Is it to fight and die to be loyal to the emperor?
However, if you die yourself. Will Yingzi in the family be cheaper than the neighbor's bastard?
Dead or alive?
"General, or we ......" The soldier swallowed his saliva, the look of horror in his eyes was even worse, looking at the general's face, he considered and whispered: "Or, we surrender?" ”
"You, what did you say?" Hearing this, the general turned his head, looked at the soldier with gloomy eyes, and asked through gritted teeth.
"The general is angry!" The soldier was startled by the general's expression, and fell to his knees with a thud, shaking like chaff.
However, if he dies with the general, he will only be twenty-one years old.
The soldier thought of his beautiful hometown of Nara, and his heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "General, you can also see clearly." The pirates on the other side were obviously pretended to be the bastards of the Goryeo sailors. They want to monopolize our supplies. Our Dadongying warriors fought to the death, and only the general fought his way out of the encirclement under the desperate protection of his subordinates. That's just the way it is. General, what do you say? ”
Look at the soldier kneeling in front of him, trembling all over. The general's eyes flickered, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed, bent down, supported the soldier, looked at him and pressed the soldier's shoulder with one hand and said, "Thanks to your desperate protection, this general can present the information to the Shangguan!" ”
"My lord, you, are you really?" The soldier's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Are you really willing...... Belch! ”
In the middle of his words, the soldier suddenly felt a pain in his heart, looked down, and saw that the general with a smile in front of him suddenly poisoned his hand and plunged a dagger into his chest. The hot blood squirted out with a strong fishy smell.
"You ......" The soldier looked up, his eyes full of disbelief, and looked at the smiling officer in front of him. After the mouth opened, the body softened and fell straight down.
The general's bloodstained face had a cruel smile. Holding the dead soldier in one hand, he drew his dagger and placed the soldier on the ground.
"To report the enemy's situation, one person is enough!" The general looked at the dead soldier on the ground, sneered, and said gloomily.
...... "Even if you kill your own people, this person really deserves to die!" On the flagship, Wu Zheng withdrew the telescope. Turning his head, he said to the military advisor beside him.
"If he weren't for that, we'd really have to do a little more work!" Through the barrel of the telescope, Lu Heng clearly saw everything that happened on the ship. After seeing the man raise the white flag, Lu Heng put down the binoculars and said with a slight smile.
Hearing what the military advisor said, Wu Zheng hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked again, and when he saw clearly the general on the deck of the ship that was about to sink in the distance, the general covered in blood and his hair was waving a white flag. His face was overjoyed, and he said happily: "He surrendered? ”
Lu Heng nodded slightly, turned his head, and after glancing around, he found that the other three remaining ships were all raising white flags. After smiling slightly, he turned around and said to Wu Zheng: "I'll leave the rest to you!" ”
"Don't worry!" Wu Zheng smiled, licked his lips, looked greedy, and clenched his fists and said, "The inferior general will definitely carry out the piracy to the end!" ”
Lu Heng smiled, then turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Behind him, Wu Zheng smiled and said to the soldiers beside him in high spirits: "Go, arrest that guy for me!" Lao Tzu has something to ask him! ”
"No problem, Boss!" The soldier, dressed in tattered costumes, seems to have long been accustomed to his new identity. After hearing the commander's order, this guy laughed loudly, shook his belly with his chest exposed, and turned around and left with a knife.
Belch...... What did this kid do before? How can you become a pirate now, so proficient?
Wu Zheng looked at the guy, waved his hand casually, and led a few people to the side of the boat. Such a skilled bandit, full of confusion, and puzzled in his heart.
When the ship docked, the five pirates, holding on to the cable, slid to the opposite ship. In three or two strokes, he tied up the Dongying military attaché, and by the way, stripped the man clean and naked.
Wu Zheng on the flagship, after seeing all this, was even more sure in his heart that his five subordinates were definitely not good birds before.
After the Dongying military attache got on the boat, Wu Zheng casually took a chair, stepped on the chair with one foot, squinted his eyes, and looked like a scoundrel, looking at this Dongying military attaché.
"Yaga!" Showing off the Dongying dialect he had just learned from the military advisor, Wu Zheng looked at this Dongying military attache with a fierce look.
Seeing this little Dongying, he trembled, as if he was very scared. Wu Zheng was proud in his heart, and when he was about to say something, he remembered that he seemed to be like this.
I was silent for a long time, and I didn't say a word.
Then, Wu Zheng pulled the nightingale beside him, the two of them turned around, and after muttering for a while, Wu Zheng patted the nightingale on the shoulder and whispered, "I'll leave it to you!" ”
"Don't worry, sir!" Nightingale smiled and replied with a fist. turned around, secretly glanced at the Dongying warrior who was kneeling on the ground with a frightened expression, smiled, licked his lips and said, "The villain promises, he will be stripped clean, naked!" ”
Well?
Hearing this, Wu Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.
Looking back at the Dongying warrior who was kneeling on the ground, with only a crotch cloth left on his body, he was surprised, could such a fine light be even worse?
Turning his head and looking at the nightingale with a silver smile on his face, Wu Zheng couldn't help but shudder.
Talents, they're all fucking talents!
…… After Wu Zheng left, the nightingale began to snap with his fingers and walked over with a silver smile on his face.
"Come on, give him a glass of water to drink and ......!" After the nightingale walked over, he pulled over the chair, sat down on Erlang's legs, pointed to the tea on the table, and said to the soldier beside him.
After the soldier poured the tea into the mouth of the Toei samurai, the nightingale snapped her fingers and smiled and gave the order to the soldier who pressed the Toei samurai: "Then, beat him!" ”
When the two shirtless sergeants heard this, they were overjoyed. Without saying a word, he directly smashed a punch into the face of the Dongying samurai.
With a bang, the Dongying warrior screamed miserably, and the blood in his mouth, with his front teeth, roared out.
The two sergeants rushed forward like hungry tigers and punched and kicked the Dongying officer who was lying on the ground, holding his head and curled up together.
The thumping sound made the eyelids of the onlookers tremble.
Seeing the bloody face of the beaten Dongying officer and howling miserably, the nightingale waved his hand and told the soldier to stop.
I took a leisurely sip of tea, and I always felt that there was no wine to drink. After putting down the teacup, the nightingale stood up slowly, walked over, raised his foot and kicked the Dongying warrior, and said lazily: "Go back, bring a message to your chief Oda, those people ......"
Nightingale pointed to the few surrendered ships behind him, and sneered: "Forget about the people, each ship together with the supplies on it, one thousand taels of gold." There are three ships in total, well, it's only 30,000 taels of gold! ”
"It's three thousand taels!" Officer Dongying was stunned for a moment, and then retorted.
"Damn, Lao Tzu said that 30,000 is 30,000!" Nightingale stood up angrily, kicked the Dongying officer in the ribs, and said scoldingly.
After punching and kicking for a while, the nightingale stopped panting, crossed her waist, and pointed at the man: "Within ten days, Lao Tzu must see gold, otherwise, all your people will be killed!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Officer Dongying knelt on the ground and nodded hurriedly. A sneak glance at the three supply ships that had been contained. A grim smile appeared on his bloodstained face.
The nightingale squinted her eyes and glanced at the officer who was kowtowing like garlic on the ground, and the murderous intent in her eyes collapsed several times. The hand hangs down, clenched and released.
After a long time, his gloomy expression became a scoundrel again.
After glancing at the military attaché Dongying, he turned to leave.
"Give him a plank, a steamed bun. Let him go! ”
The Dongying samurai, who had just been happy for the rest of his life, were stunned when he heard the words of the Korean.
A wooden plank, a steamed bun, in this vast sea, don't you want my life?
"You are inhumane!" At stake in his own life, Officer Dongying immediately struggled and shouted with all his might.
The nightingale stopped, shrugged his shoulders as a scoundrel, and looked like you were taking care of yourself.
Turning his head, the nightingale's face instantly became gloomy, his fists clenched, and he said to himself fiercely: "Humanity does not belong to you beasts!" ”
The companion glanced at the Dongying officer who was still protesting, thought about it and walked over, looked at the leader of the nightingale in confusion, and asked with a cold face, "Head, you just let him go?" ”。
"Hundreds of thousands of unjust souls in Liaodong are watching us!" The companion glanced at the leader, lowered his head, and said casually while sneering and picking his fingers.
The leader of the nightingale smiled, turned his head, and patted his companion on the shoulder. Blink.
"Tea can't be drunk indiscriminately, especially the tea that the nightingale gave you!"
