Chapter 347: Tahu Beach is ambushed
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
I slept too late last night, and I have been worried about it, and I feel like I was awakened by a knock on the door after only a short sleep.
Don't it be another big deal, right? Uncle Da opened his eyes with bloodshot eyes, and shouted in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" β
"Owner, it's a good thing."
"Come in."
"Owner of the village, this is the old ...... The message from Camp Commander Peng went well. β
Uncle Da sat up, took the telegram and looked at it, and there were four words on it: Everything is going well!
This is the code that has been agreed on a long time ago: if the salvage is completed, these four words will be sent.
"It's great to wake up and get this great news, hurry up and report the good news to the head of the family...... By the way, you weren't seen when you came, were you? Also, are those people surnamed Hu still honest? β
"Owner of the village, don't worry, everyone was very tired last night, and when the little ones came, most of them were still asleep." The man smiled flatteringly: "The little one has always remembered your orders, and he didn't dare to blink at all when he was on duty, staring at the gang surnamed Hu, and they were all honest and didn't make trouble." β
"Good job." Uncle Da took out a foreign fire (matches, they were all called foreign fires at that time), burned the telegram, and after getting out of bed, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile: "San'er, you are the most clever in this group of people, rest assured, Lao Tzu is also old, and he will have to go home to care for the elderly after a long time here, and when the time comes, I will recommend you to sit in this chair with the head of the family." β
This person's name is Yang Shan, 'mountain' has the same sound as 'three', since the era of piranhas, he is the third master of the Flying Shark Village, so his nickname is Yang San, and later Peng Ziqing and his son took the Flying Shark Village, he was the first to take refuge, and he was not replaced, and he is still the third master. However, now he has taken a step forward: Peng Ziqing and his son went back to Laosicheng to be the battalion commander, at that time, the second boss also felt that he was a little old, and it was not suitable to live this kind of bloody life, and it was the best destination to be a deputy battalion commander and company commander, so he took the opportunity to wash his hands and go ashore. In this way, Yang San has become the second master. Now when I hear this, my heart is naturally as excited as Peng Peng was at the beginning.
This kid is really clever, obviously his eyes are shining excitedly, but he hurriedly shouted: "Village master, you look like this at most in your early thirties, how old are you?" The little one is still thinking about learning under you for a few more years, and following you to eat rich food for a few more years. β
Uncle Da nodded with a smile, poured a cup of tea, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, opened the window and rinsed out, and after two more sips of tea, he looked out the window and turned around and asked, "San'er, how can you persuade the cliff?" Where have we been? β
"I'm about to set foot on Tiger Beach."
"Let's go! Go out and have a look. β
"Owner of the village, I have already ordered someone to make your breakfast, and it should be ready now. You see......"
"I was busy for most of the night last night, and now I don't have any appetite, look at the scenery, and it's not too late to relax and eat."
When he came to the bow of the ship, Uncle Da couldn't help but sigh: "What a good place~!" San'er, you say, how lacking in virtue do you have to dare to push the stone statue of a warrior into the river. β
The river is about fifty or sixty meters wide, the north side of the river is nearly 100 meters high, several miles long cliffs, and the south side is a crooked beach, thirty or forty meters wide, all fine pebbles, and then there is a verdant forest. From time to time, wild beasts roared on both sides of the strait, and from time to time there were groups of monkeys cheering at the fleet, which was full of life and beauty.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a colorful tiger here as a disaster, and the people were frightened and miserable.
One day, an unknown warrior came, swore to save the people from this catastrophe, and fought with the tiger for three days and three nights, the tiger was defeated and fled, and the warrior persevered all the way to the cliff on the north side of the river.
Seeing the tiger jumping off the cliff to escape, the warrior also jumped off the cliff and fought with it for a day and a night in the water. Eventually, the tiger was slain on the river beach across the cliff, and the warrior died of his injuries. When he was dying, he carried a tomahawk in his hand and stepped on the head of a tiger, standing tall. In order to commemorate this warrior, the people erected a stone statue of the warrior when he was dying on the opposite cliff, and named this place Tahu Beach. The vicissitudes of time, although the stone statue has long been gone, but the name of Tahu Beach has been handed down forever.
"The owner of the village, I heard that it seems that during the Qing Dynasty, the pursuers of the Qing court deliberately pushed the stone statue down in order to destroy Shi Dakai's fleet."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart! As soon as he heard this, Uncle Da's heart jumped, and he subconsciously asked: "You say, is there anyone waiting on the cliff to destroy our fleet?" β
"Who dare?" Yang San smiled proudly: "Now that our Wang family is in full swing, if we don't go to find trouble with others, they should burn high incense, who would dare to provoke us?" β
As soon as Uncle Da heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he nodded to Yang San with a smile, but he cautiously commanded: "Although you are right, you are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if someone wants to find death, it is also disgusting to throw stones from the cliff to the boat." In this way, when you go back to rest, tell the fourth child on duty to let him have more eyes and pass through Tahu Beach as soon as possible. β
"You're still thoughtful." Then he turned around and beckoned his subordinates, asking him to hurry up and tell Uncle Da what he meant to go to the command room to tell the four masters, but he still accompanied Uncle Da to be courteous.
The fleet soon entered Tahu Beach. Turned a big bend, came to the middle of the Tiger Beach, in front of the straight road, as far as the eye can see, the green mountains and green waters, the beasts and birds fly...... Wait a minute! Birds flying? Wrong!
Uncle Da stretched comfortably while enjoying the beautiful scenery, but halfway through his lazy waist, he was suddenly pulled by Yang San.
Before Uncle Da could get angry, he saw Yang San turn around and shout urgently to a few of his subordinates: "It's not good! There is an ambush, quickly stop the fleet. β
Yang San is a clever person, and he will never make his own decisions in front of him if he is not sure. He couldn't help but look at Yang San and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Owner of the village, look there!"
Looking along the cliff about two miles in front of the left that Yang San pointed to, he saw a group of white cranes hovering in mid-air, but he didn't dare to fall.
Uncle Da immediately noticed that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while, so he could only ask, "Speak!" Speak! β
Yang San's eyes looked at that side coldly, and explained: "The owner of the village, the birds dare not fall into the nest, indicating that there must be a large number of people in ambush below. β
Flocks of birds do not dare to return to their nests, indicating that there must be large animals under the trees. If an animal passes under a tree, the birds will at most chirp and fly, and as soon as the animal leaves, they will fly down. And now, the birds are circling in the sky in flocks, indicating that they have been flying in the sky for too long, and they will instinctively circle in groups, and the more they do not chirp, the more it indicates that the longer they hover, and they are tired and do not want to call. It is impossible for an animal to stay in such a place for so long, and there is only one possibility: there must be a large group of people lying in ambush there, and it must have been waiting here since last night.
At this moment, the melodious sound of the horn sounded, the fleet quickly stopped, and the sailors all ran to the deck with their weapons......
Yang San breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Uncle Da's eyes were staring at him with great brilliance, and he was afraid that Uncle Da would only think about the problem and forget to command, so he smiled and reminded euphemistically: "Village master, what should I do next?" Do you need to inform Camp Chief Peng and the head of the family, and please make it clear? β
Uncle Da looked at him with no answers, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have this ability, not bad." β
"The little one was a hunter before the grass fell, and then because he couldn't pay the tax, he had a dispute with the tax collector, and killed a tax soldier by mistake, and then he fell into the grass. This little skill was also learned from the elders when I was young. β
"Since you have the ability to go to the mountains, are you willing to work at home?"
The devil is willing! The head of the family is eloquent, and most of the generals under him are good hands on the mountain, and my half bucket of water can occasionally swing in front of you. Let's talk about it again, listen to the boss of the village, sooner or later the head of the family will turn the Flying Shark Village into a naval army of the Baojing Regiment, and when the time comes, when I take your position, wouldn't it be logical for the battalion commander to take the position? It is more than a hundred times stronger than starting all over again in Lao Sicheng.
"It's up to you to do everything small." Yang San said with a smile: "However, the little one has been mixed in the water for seven or eight years, and this sudden change of career, if he is not suitable for a while, he is afraid of embarrassing you." β
How could Uncle Da not understand his euphemistic refusal, but fortunately, Uncle Da just asked for a moment. Seeing this, I don't force it.
"The other party's intention is unknown, wait and talk about it later, and there is no need to inform them for the time being...... Immediately open those weapon boxes, get some guns and ammunition, and send more people to take small boats to seize the forest on the right, and if there is anything not to the side, you can also prevent it. β
"And what about these ships?"
"Just dock the boat and send some people to guard it. Even if they wanted to, they would never dare to fight us on the water, so seizing that forest was the key point...... Go ahead and do it! β
"Yes!"
"Toot! Honk! Honk~! β
Two short horns and one long horn soundedβthis was a signal for all the big ships to disperse to the shore.
Immediately, I saw that the gunmen on the lookout position of the main pole of the flagship where Uncle Da was located gave a signal, and the lookouts on each ship immediately shouted: "Dock, land, seize that wood!" Fast! Fast! Fast! β
When the ship was stopped before, everyone came to the plywood with their weapons, but now when they heard this, they immediately became busy: putting down the boats, setting up the earth cannons, and desperately gathering their men......
"Chief Li, what's wrong?" Fang Hua argued with Hu Xingmin yesterday until the second half of the night before going to sleep, but he was the chief instructor this time, and he had to lead by example, no, just after putting on it, he was about to wash his face when he heard the unusual sound of the horn, so he quickly washed his face and ran to the command room, and after he inquired clearly, he ran to the bow of the boat. He is a professional soldier, he doesn't need to look at it, just listening to everyone's shouts, he understands that something big is going to happen, and he immediately can't be polite, and asks Uncle Da directly.
Uncle Da took the telescope and searched little by little on the top of the mountain where the birds did not nest, and when he heard the question, he was about to put down the telescope. It was at this moment that I suddenly found that on the edge of the cliff, there were several green smoke rings spewing out, and dark red firelight flashed......
"It's an earthen cannon, lie down! Lie down! "Uncle Da is a veteran soldier born in a hundred battles, who doesn't know that this is the other party is going here**, and when he looks at the thick density of the green smoke coming out, he knows that this is an earth cannon, and he screams while lying down - modern cannons will never be able to shoot so much green smoke.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
Yang San was right, but Uncle Da didn't judge enough......
