Chapter Seventy-Two: Scuffle
Zhang Yunlong, who fell into the water, was unwilling, and the figures of the brothers kept flashing in his mind, did you really abandon me? Don't you recognize me as a big brother? Why betray yourself? Xiucai's boat was arranged outside, why didn't he rush to the rescue? Did even this person who had a blood feud with the Japanese invaders join the enemy?
Listening to the sound of cannons in the distance gradually thinning out, Shen Yue was also anxious, if there was really another group of pirates peeping behind, they would soon appear, and if they were caught off guard, their merchant ships and the warships in front of them would suffer a big loss. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info now needs to race against time to meet Chang Yun's fleet as soon as possible.
"Order the ships to throw down half of the cargo on deck." Shen Yue yelled at the boss of the boat,
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, can those big guys agree? The goods to be thrown down are tens of thousands of taels, even if they are willing now, when the wind is over, they will definitely not forgive our Shen family. The captain of the boat hesitated to persuade, he has been running the sea for so many years, and he has seen a lot of businessmen who ask for money and don't want to die, although he can cooperate in an emergency, but when he gets to a safe place, he will bite back.
"Order the guys to throw it at me, try to lose as much weight as possible, speed up and assemble the fleet in front." Shen Yue can't manage so much, these pots and pots are thrown away, it is much better than being buried in the sea, the enemy in the shadows is cunning, and when the time comes, the two fleets can still work together, and if they can converge earlier, they will have more hope of survival.
The horn sounded, and the sailors on the lookout looked at the flags sent from Shen Yue's flagship, and the people on the deck roared condescendingly.
After a period of panic, the guys of the various businesses rolled up their sleeves and pushed boxes of goods into the sea.
The heavy merchant ship shook off some of its loads, floated a little, became brisk, and galloped with its sails full.
It didn't take much effort, and the merchants who were still jumping on their feet were glad that many small black spots had appeared on the sea in the distance, and the speed was extremely fast.
"It's a pirate ship, they're coming this way." The sailor slipped off the mast and shouted loudly.
Gao Sheng stepped forward, grabbed the telescope, and looked at it carefully,
"Sure enough, there was another group of pirates, and the ship of the Japanese was among them." Gao Sheng let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, our speed has increased, and we should be able to catch up with General Chang and them." ”
Seeing that Shen Yue was a little puzzled, he added, "The Japanese ships are all square-headed and flat, and they will hang out ghost-faced flags with two sharp horns. ”
These little devils are really rampant, Shen Yue shook his head, it seems that what history says is true, most of the Japanese invaders are in collusion with businessmen in the mainland, this kind of cold-blooded beasts who slaughter their own compatriots should really be cut by a thousand cuts, and it is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban.
On the ship, the white-faced scholar who had persuaded Zhang Yunlong to send troops was standing with his hands tied, although the smelly sea breeze made him a little disgusted, but the joy of winning it was washed away.
"Bai Ye is really calculating, as the poem says, 'between talking and laughing, the strongman is in ashes'. This time not only can completely break the foundation of the Shen family, but also destroy the one-eyed dragon, our family will be the only one on the sea in the future, and the master will definitely reward you when you go back." A little guy sneered.
"I see that you are a dog who can't spit out ivory, it's 'the tree is in ashes', don't fool around all day long, read more books in the future, and I will recommend you to the house in vain." The white-faced scholar scolded, but the praise of his subordinates made him feel a little comfortable, and he felt that what he said just now was a little harsh, and then changed to a smiling face and said,
"Thanks to the news you brought this time, if it weren't for the relationship between the Shen family and the court, I am afraid that we will die by ourselves this time, but I didn't expect the Shen family to be silent for so long, and there is such a character as Shen Yue, that old immortal is a little lucky. When I go back, I will explain your merits to the master, and you will not be missing. ”
The short and stout man on the side glanced at the two of them, disdainful of talking nonsense with these two sinister villains, raised his binoculars and looked into the distance, and suddenly, a warship with a green dragon flag jumped into sight, clearly rushing towards them.
The short man rubbed his eyes, this green dragon flag he remembered unforgettable, it was the battle flag of the one-eyed dragon king Zhang Yunlong, they had fought many times, although the one-eyed dragon's fleet firearms were not very sharp, but when they touched them, it was like beating chicken blood, and they were endless, but fortunately, this time they finally used the power of the Shen family to eliminate this old enemy, but weren't they being surrounded and annihilated by the Shen family, how could they suddenly come out?
"Bai Jun, there is an enemy ship attacking, you go to the cabin and hide." The short man said respectfully to the two, his broken Chinese showed his identity as a widow, this person's name was Yamamoto Taro, and this time he was also a pirate hired by the Wu family, but he was luckier than Zhang Yunlong and was not used as a bait.
The white-faced scholar frowned, this little devil made a fuss, don't look at him bowing and nodding again, but this boat came over, so he let himself hide, and he inevitably looked down on people too much, but he still had to maintain his demeanor, let them do this kind of fighting, killing and killing, so he said with a smile,
"Then I'll leave it to Yamamoto-kun, I'll wait for your good news in the cabin."
On the lonely pirate ship, a thin man with a turban had red eyes, looking at another group of pirate ships not far away, and the corners of his mouth were bitten and bloody.
"Xiucai, aren't we going to save the boss?" The people around him saw that he was going crazy again, and asked cautiously,
The thin man turned his head and shouted in a hoarse voice,
"We used to save people and send them to death, these people are the culprits who killed the eldest brother and the brothers, don't you want to avenge the eldest brother? Don't you want to avenge your loved ones who were killed by the Japanese invaders? These brutes are there, let's fight with them, and go to Huangquan with our brothers! ”
Everyone was so excited by him, and they all had blood in their hearts, they were all fishermen from poor backgrounds, most of them were ruined by the invading Japanese robbers, and they had to become pirates, and now the new and old hatreds are added together, and they can't wait to eat those enemies alive, anyway, this time their pirate gang is over, even if they escape, what can they do, the rest of the people are just suffering on the vast sea, instead of waiting for death in a mess, it is better to kill vigorously and happily, to the underworld, It's good to have the face to meet your family and brothers.
"Okay, let's die with them, what do you say, everyone will listen to you." The surrounding crowd shouted.
Looking at the approaching warship, Taro Yamamoto was a little annoyed, seeing that he was about to be able to intercept the merchant ship that the Shen family was left behind, and he was cut into a pole by this ship, the pirate ships they drove were all known for their speed, and it was not easy to get rid of, even if the other party only had one, but if it was not defeated, it would be a trouble.
