Xu Hai exclaimed in surprise: "Boss!" As he spoke, he ran over, and his eyes were shining with tears.

Wang Zhi sighed: "The danger sees people's hearts, at this time, except for Haifeng, there is only Ah Hai who is still with me." Speaking of this, he glanced up at the Sky Wolf and smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that the Jinyi Wei Sky Wolf, my Wang Zhi's mortal enemy, could actually be on the same side as the old man at this time." ”

The wolf cleaned up his stunned mind just now, there are too many accidents today, one after another, so Wang Zhi's appearance this time is not so surprising to him, I want to come to Wang Zhi to run this island for many years, and he will also leave one or two escape channels for himself, and the exit of this passage is this lookout post.

Sky Wolf smiled slightly and said: "Ship Master Wang, it seems that you are really a cunning rabbit and have a way to escape, but this is a cliff, there is no way to retreat, what can we do?" ”

Wang Zhi laughed: "Since the old man has chosen this place as a place to escape, he is naturally fully prepared, look at the cliff edge." ”

The wolf followed the sound and looked, but saw a big black hole under the cliff, and on a big stone outside the hole, there was a rope tied to the bottom of the cliff, this cliff was about thirty zhang high, and the waves under the cliff were crashing against the cliff, and there was no movement in the dark, but since the rope was down, it was obviously another arrangement.

Sky Wolf realized that the big hole in this cliff must be the passage that Wang Zhi escaped from just now, and he must have already come out, just after listening to the conversation between himself and Xu Hai and the Shimazu brothers here. only then did he appear to speak, probably not wanting to sacrifice Xu Hai, an excellent subordinate.

Xu Hai ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down. smiled: "Boss, it turns out that you have already made arrangements, which makes Xiaohai worry in vain." ”

Wang Zhi sneered: "After so many years of crisscrossing the sea, I have to leave a way back for myself at any time, I can't imagine that the arrangement I made on this Shuangyu Island many years ago will work today." Ahai, the situation is urgent now. You go down first. The Black Shark is down there. ”

Xu Hai didn't say a word, he was about to go down the rope, and the wolf suddenly thought of something. hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, wait, your wife and brothers are still in the town below, don't you want to save them?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Xu Hai's eyes: "At this time, everyone should ask for more blessings, and even the boss ran out." Shuangyu Fort was not defended. It's even more difficult to go to that town now. As he spoke, he jumped down the cliff, and his naked upper body disappeared into the night.

Wang Zhi walked to the edge of the cliff, glanced back at the wolf, and said, "wolf, this time you helped us, my Wang Zhi has clear grievances, and the last incident is written off." I will definitely save your life this time, now Chen Sipan and Shimazu. There are also Francophone people to attack the island, if you leave them behind, they will definitely kill you, you are right, this time the Ming army must be instigated by Yan Shifan, so that Lu Bo will also kill you, you better go with us. ”

The wolf quickly calculated in his heart, Yan Shifan made such an arrangement, I am afraid that it is impossible not to come to the scene in person, it is very likely that he is now on Lu Bo's warship, leaving the green mountains, not afraid of no Chai Mountain, as long as he escapes with his life, he will find a way to take revenge on Yan Shifan in the future, he nodded and said, "Then thank you to the owner of the ship." ”

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhi's mouth, and he glanced at Mao Haifeng on the side, and the wolf's heart froze, only to see that Mao Haifeng staring at him angrily, his heart was a little hairy, and at this moment, Wang Zhi also jumped off the cliff.

Mao Haifeng said to the Heavenly Wolf with a big grin: "Boy, you go down first." I'll have to clean up the hole at the end. ”

The wolf turned his heart sideways, Wang Zhi has no reason to kill himself now, even if he really has this thought, he has no choice but a gamble, because staying is certain to die, the people of the Shimazu clan will immediately kill the horse pistol after they go back to move the rescuers, and he has even seen a fire dragon coming from the main city in the direction of the cliff.

The wolf gritted his teeth, and also jumped off the cliff, the sword was inserted behind his back and waist, his right hand could not exert force, his left hand grasped the rope, only a borrowed force, and continued to fly downward, three or four feet later, pull the rope again, soon, after a dozen take-offs, he fell to the bottom of the cliff, only to see the dark night, the angry waves beat the reef by the sea for a while, and he fell to the bottom, it was a natural cave.

There was a huge explosion overhead, Mao Haifeng's huge figure fell lightly on the side of the wolf, although he was such a giant, but his movements were extremely flexible, taking advantage of the time when the wolf was stunned, he had already swept past the wolf's side, and his words clearly drilled into the wolf's ears: "What are you doing in a daze, do you want to stone the stone above to death?" ”

The wolf reacted instantly, lifted his breath, jumped into the cave, and just jumped into the hole, only to hear the sound of a boulder entering the water outside, which was endless, and the clothes on his body also splashed a lot of splashes. He thought that this must be the secret cave that Mao Haifeng had blown up with gunpowder when he came down, so that the enemy would not find his escape route from the castle.

The wolf followed Mao Haifeng, walking through this dark and damp seaside cave, turning left and right, there were many bifurcations in this cave, and the wolf walked for about half an hour, and some places felt like he had been here two or three times, but it was different every time, and I didn't know if Mao Haifeng deliberately took him around or if this cave was so weird.

Just when the wolf was walking a little impatient, and was about to open his mouth to inquire, he suddenly heard a low horn sounding in front of him, Mao Haifeng suddenly accelerated, and ran forward a few steps, the wolf followed closely, and after turning a corner, he found that the harbor in a cave was suddenly bright, the lights were bright, and the harbor in a cave was displayed in front of the wolf's eyes, and under his feet was the wharf, on which hundreds of wooden boxes and barrels of different sizes were placed, and what was docked on the wharf was a clipper with a very shallow draft and three masts.

Wang Zhi was still dressed in black water, standing at the bow of the boat, this boat was completely different from the Ming army's sailor warship, and there was something like a steering wheel on the bow. It was placed vertically, and Wang Zhi was standing behind the wheel, his hand on the wheel. Xu Hai changed into a bright red canvas suit, two long and short knives have been inserted in the knife pockets on both sides of his calf, and two short-handled muskets are inserted in his belt.

And there were two dozen people running back and forth on the boat, dressed in canvas sleeveless shirts. A sturdy pirate busily carrying boxes of supplies from the docks to the ship.

Mao Haifeng also ignored the wolf and jumped on the bow of the boat at once. Xiang Wang Zhi said, "Father-in-law, the matter is done." ”

Wang Zhi nodded: "Is there a dog following behind?" ”

Mao Haifeng shook his head: "I turned around the cave four or five times, and no one followed me at all. Rest assured. ”

Wang Zhi let out a "hmm" and said to the wolf: "wolf." You should be safe here. There are plenty of supplies and food on the docks to feed you for half a year, and you can come out when the battle is over. ”

Sky Wolf laughed: "Ship Master Wang, are you going to escape and find your subordinates and fight back against Chen Sipan?" ”

Wang Zhi shook his head: "No, if you only care about running for your life, it won't be me Wang Zhi, this Black Shark is the strongest and fastest warship on the sea." Chen Sipan must be complacent now, and I can find an opportunity to directly raid his main ship. Kill him at this time, and save yourself from fighting with him like this. ”

The wolf was speechless for a long time, this is the demeanor of Wang Zhi, the king of pirates, who was caught off guard when the enemy was most proud, which was also deeply in line with what Liu Yubing said in his book. Sky Wolf smiled: "Ship Master Wang, I am fortunate to be able to witness this legendary naval battle with my own eyes today, if you don't let me go with the ship, it's a bit of a pity, stay in this cave to avoid the limelight, it's not the husband's doing, please take me." ”

Xu Hai laughed: "Sky wolf, you don't know the nature of water, this is not an ordinary voyage, when the time comes, you will fight at sea with real knives and guns, you are still injured, we can't take care of you when we fight." ”

Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "I think I will be helpful to you, besides, maybe this time I will also face Yan Shifan, there is a chance to kill him with my own hands, how can I let it go?" ”

Wang Zhi's eyes flashed with coldness: "Sky wolf, this is not child's play, we may be able to win a big victory this time, maybe we will all have to go to the sea to feed the fish and shrimp, the risk is not small, are you really willing to sacrifice your life?" ”

The wolf said loudly: "Lord Wang, when I came back to the island this time, I didn't plan to go back alive, now who is the enemy and who is the friend is already very clear, we are now really in the same boat, only by defeating these pirates and widows in front of us, the coast of the Ming Dynasty can have real peace, my wolf is willing to help the owner of the Wang ship this time, even if the strength is not enough, it is a well-deserved death, no regrets." ”

Wang Zhi laughed: "Good man, no matter whether we are friends or enemies in the future, at least let us fight him side by side today, Sky Wolf, get on the boat." ”

The wolf moved with both feet, jumped directly onto the boat, and when he landed, he only felt that his feet slipped, and he almost didn't stand firmly, and hurriedly used the body technique of a thousand pounds to barely stabilize his body.

I saw a ship full of sailors, starting from Wang Zhi, all of them took off their shoes and went barefoot, and a few sailors were pouring something towards the deck of the ship, the wooden planks under their feet were slippery, and it was extremely difficult to stand, they should have been smeared with oil or something, but these sailors were running endlessly on such a slippery deck, walking like flying, and there was no unstable center of gravity.

Xu Hai saw the slightly surprised appearance of the wolf, and said with a smile: "The wolf, I told you not to come up a long time ago, this time it is different from the passenger ship when you came, we went out to fight, and the broadside battle and the gang jumping battle are not allowed to let the enemy get on our ship casually, we are now understaffed, just these more than 30 people, so we have to smear oil on the deck, and when you will rampage on the sea, when you attack at high speed, I am afraid that you are sitting in the cabin, and you can't stand such a limp, this is not the time for you to be a hero, I think you'd better stay on the docks. ”

Sky Wolf smiled slightly, kicked his legs together, kicked the boots on his feet into the water, and also barefooted, standing on the deck, he was lucky with his feet, rubbed back and forth on the deck a few times, and suddenly adapted to a lot, and ran back and forth a few steps, the good foundation and balance laid by Zama when he was a child made him quickly adapt to this slippery environment, he smiled: "Brother Xu, don't worry about me, when the time comes, you just have to kill the enemy with all your might." ”

Xu Hai nodded: "Take care of yourself, and." Chen Sipan joined forces with the Francophone this time, you beware of the firearms of Westerners, their martial arts are average. But the musket is powerful, and you must not be careless. ”

Xu Hai said and pointed to the two short-handled muskets on his waist, and the wolf found that these two short guns were different from the long guns used by those Japanese iron artillerymen, not only could they hold the gun alone, but there seemed to be an iron pimple on the trigger of the gun, bulging, revealing a trace of weirdness.

Tian Wolf Qi said: "Brother Xu." Why do your two guns look different from those muskets? With such a short gun, can it be used? ”

Xu Hai laughed and took out a gun. Liang in front of the wolf, this time the wolf looked carefully, except for the short body of the gun, which could be held in one hand. The lump was a spinning iron sac. The small hole inside is filled with lead, and the lead on the body of the gun has been ignited, and it can be fired at any time with a gusset machine.

Xu Hai said: "Sky wolf, you look carefully, this thing is called a revolver, as the name suggests, every time you pull the trigger and shoot the gun." The wheel will automatically rotate one square, making a total of three leads. It can fire three shots, which is the latest invention of the Franco machine man, also known as the three-eyed firearm. ”

Xu Hai turned the one-foot-long barrel upside down and grabbed it in his hand, waved it twice in the air, and said: "This thing weighs thirty or forty pounds, after the three shots are released, it is also a heavy iron guy, which can be used in hand-to-hand combat. Of course, Brother Tianwolf's martial arts are world-renowned, naturally he doesn't need this, but you must be careful, the Franc machine man is also equipped with this thing, if you jointly attack Chen Sipan's command ship in a while, you must be careful of these Franc machine people who make revolvers, they can fire three shots in a row!"

Sky Wolf nodded: "Why don't those Shimazu musketeers have this?" If they also had this kind of repeating gun just now, I'm afraid that Brother Xu, you won't be able to rush out. ”

Xu Hai laughed: "The widows don't have a good thing, we have always been on guard against them, and these most advanced weapons will not be sold to them." It is probably precisely because of this that the Shimazu family hates us to the core, and would rather hook up with Chen Sipan than get rid of us. ”

As he spoke, the wolf only felt the ship's body move, turned his head to look, but found that the sailors had untied the ship's cable tied to the dock, while Wang Zhi was turning the big turntable-like thing, and the ship began to move slowly, even in the secret harbor in this cave, the current was not too fast, and the wolf also felt the back and forth swaying, fortunately, he had been using a jack pendant to fix his body, so that he was not as wolf as when he first got on the boat.

Sky Wolf's brows furrowed, looked at Wang Zhi at the bow of the ship, and asked Xu Hai, "What is that wooden plate in front of the owner of the ship Wang for?" How does it feel like controlling the advance and steering of the ship? ”

Xu Hai said with a smile: "It's called the helm, and the bottom is connected to a big plank at the bottom of the boat, and the rotation of this rudder can adjust the direction and position of the big plank under the ship, so as to change the direction and speed of the ship. Do you understand? ”

The wolf suddenly realized and said with a smile: "The rudder in the river boat is often at the stern, and the sheaths are also the front pole and the back helm, but the rudder of this big ship is controlled by this turntable in the front, and this is the first time I have seen it." ”

Xu Hai nodded: "That's because the river boat does not rely on sails, so to make the ship move forward and backward, you must rely on the pole to the bottom of the river, but the sea is so deep that it is impossible to sail like this, so the power of the boat, one is to rely on the sailors on the bottom deck to paddle, and the other is to rely on the sails, and to travel by the wind, so to control the direction of travel of this ship, you must rely on the rudder of the bow of the ship, Wang Shipowner has been running in the sea all his life, in terms of the ability to steer, no one can match him, driving the warship, It is as easy as a skilled rider riding a horse, and as easy as wielding one's own hands and feet. ”

Sky Wolf looked at Wang Zhi, his expression was calm, one hand slowly moved the rudder in front of him, and the other hand was making various gestures, directing the sailors on the ship to paddle or hang the sails, and at this time the sailors were all in place, some people ran to the bottom of the oars cabin, dozens of large rows of oars stretched out from both sides of the hull, dancing rhythmically, while some people were busy hanging up the sails, and in the holes on both sides, there were some black holes in the muzzles, pointing forward.

Sky Wolf's heart moved: "These cannons were used in naval battles?" "Although the Celestial Wolf had heard that the warships of the Woko could not only carry musketeers, but also fire cannons, it was the first time he had seen this cannon sticking out of the side of the ship.

Xu Hai smiled, pointed to the dozen or so sticking out cannons, and said: "Naval battles are often two ships on the side, so the gun positions are set on both sides of the ship, and some ships will put the guns on the bow, but in this way, the gunboat will retreat backwards, affecting the speed of the ship, this is the case with the sailors of your Ming army, it has always been the bow to meet the enemy, but I don't want this bow to be a little bigger, it can hold a few cannons, only the wide side of the ship, can be loaded with dozens of cannons, and when the time comes, a salvo, You can fight like the main warship of the level of your Ming army sailor and directly catch fire and sink.
