Chapter 37: Victory
The power of the firearms was unexpectedly powerful, and everyone looked at Li Tu, who was commanding the battle, in surprise, and was surprised by the success of his plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, there was a loud bang, the ship shook, and the bow of Chen Shengning's first boat hit the side of the Zaixing.
The pirate ship finally landed on the Zaiheung, but there were no pirates on the pirate ship who could jump into the gang to fight.
Seeing that the pirates were so frustrated by themselves, the sailors of the Zaixing were extremely excited, and their eyes were red one by one. Even the timid Xiao Xiangui was so excited at this time that his face was red.
Li Tu no longer paid attention to the defeat of the remnants of the first ship, and the pirates alive on the first ship were all injured, completely losing the ability to attack Zaixing. Li Tu focused on the second pirate ship.
The second ship, ten feet away from the Zaixing, was soon within bomb-throwing range. With the lesson of the first ship, the pirates on the second ship did not dare to stand up and paddle again, and they all shrank on the deck to avoid bombs and arquebus bullets.
Li Tu pointed his knife forward and shouted, "Everyone raise their bombs and prepare to throw!" ”
But the pirates on the second ship no longer have the courage to fight.
Swept by the arquebus of the Zaixing, and seeing the terrifying power of the bomb at this time, where did the pirates on the second boat dare to come over? The big boss Chen Shengning is already dying, and the pirates who are afraid of death are already determined to escape.
The helmsman of the pirates turned the rudder, and the second pirate ship made a bend and grazed the stern of the Zaixing.
Li Tu was unwilling to let go of these pirates easily, and Li Tu ordered loudly: "Bring torches and chase after them, throw bombs!" ”
Under the command of Li Tu, the Zaixing was about to win a great victory. At this time, Li Tu's order had become the absolute authority on the ship.
When the people received the order, they took down the torches from the side of the ship and rushed to the stern tower with the torches. Igniting a bomb on the tail tower, the crew throws the bomb at the pirate ship.
Although the aft tower was so narrow that the bomb-throwing team could not stretch out, more than 20 bombs were dropped on the enemy ship. Only a bombardment was heard, and the second pirate ship was blown up and screamed. At least ten pirates were hit by the bomb's exploding pieces of iron and fell in pools of blood.
A pirate who was hit fell off the side of the ship and fell into the sea with a plop, causing a huge splash.
After being hit hard, the pirates who were still alive did not look back, and headed south. Seeing that the tall stern of the pirate ship blocked the shooting path of the crew of the Zaixing, the pirates jumped up again and rowed desperately, escaping faster and faster.
Seeing that the pirates had fled, the crew of the Zaixing was even more excited:
"We won!"
"We won!"
In Japan for most of the past half year, the crew has lived in the shadow of Chen Shengning, just afraid of being killed by this sea thief. Defeated Chen Shengning at this time, how happy were the crew? The crew high-fived each other, howled and roared, and the excitement was inexplicable.
Xiao Xiangui stood on the tail tower with his eyes closed, without saying a word, as if he was lamenting his luck. He was a timid man, and he was going to be a maritime merchant for a few years, but he quit. When he offended Chen Shengning, he begged his grandfather everywhere to sue his grandmother and ignored him, whether it was Li Dan or Yang Degong, they all regarded him as a ghost under Chen Shengning's knife and rejected him thousands of miles away. Who knew that Xiao Xiangui's dead horse would be a live horse doctor who bet on Li Tu, and this Li Tu really saved Zaixing.
When Li Tu was recruited on the ship, it was also a whim. Who knew that this young man had a vision and determination beyond mortals, and single-handedly pushed the Zaixing to equip it with firearms, and the current command of the enemy was determined, allowing the Zaixing to defeat Chen Shengning, who was rampant in Zhangzhou.
Xiao Xiangui had the feeling of stepping on the ghost gate, and then being picked up by life and dragged to the world.
After a long time, Xiao Xiangui opened his eyes and looked at Li Tu, who was commanding the battle, his eyes were full of gratitude.
The chief manager, Xue Yiming, had just finished throwing the bomb and was also standing on the tail tower. Although Li Tu is still young, and although he sometimes has to come forward to calm the scene for him, this young man has something that everyone else does not have, and at every critical moment, this young man can rely on that wonderful thing to make the right decision.
This time, the Zaixing relied on that wonderful thing to defeat the powerful Chen Shengning. Xiao Xiangui was saved, Zaixing was saved, and Xue Yiming himself was saved. This Li Tu relied on his insight and choices to save a boatload of people. Xue Yiming smiled extremely brightly, twisted his beard and looked at Li Tu, his eyes were full of approval.
Although Wang Jian was reluctant to practice arquebuses during training, he also steadily threw bombs twice during the battle just now. At this time, Wang Jian was victorious, thoughtful, touched the big knife that had not yet been unsheathed and was silent.
Liu Huadian's face was full of laughter. He walked down the tail tower and stood beside Li Tu, looking at Li Tu, as if waiting for Li Tu to give another order.
Xu San, who was reused by Li Tu to be responsible for lighting the torch, was inexplicably excited, dancing and shouting around Li Tu.
"We won!"
"Won!"
After a bloody battle, and then a complete victory, the crew only now understood the power of the firearms they had trained for half a year, and they had an admiration for Li Tu, who had promoted firearms training. The crew gradually walked down the tail building, gathered around Li Tu, and looked at Li Tu, who was the first in merit.
Li Tu pulled out his long knife, lined up in the crowd, and jumped onto Chen Shengning's boat. He walked to the dying Chen Shengning, went down with a knife, and learned about the life of this Zhangzhou sea thief.
Pulling out the long knife with blood, Li Tu raised the knife and shouted:
"Zaixing killed Chen Shengning off the coast of Zhangzhou!"
Hearing Li Tu's shout, the sailors of the Zaixing raised their hands to the sky and shouted loudly:
"Zaixing killed Chen Shengning off the coast of Zhangzhou!"
"We won!!"
#####
A month later, news of Chen Shengning's killing by the Zaixing reached Hirado.
On this day, Li Dan did not meet guests, and was sitting in his mansion, playing chess under the castle of the Heto Domain. Two attendants dressed in Japanese style knelt on either side of the door of the house facing the garden of the courtyard with expressionless faces, one was a samurai retainer under the castle, and the other was Li Dan's guard.
Li Dan is in charge of the black son, and the city is in charge of the white son, and the two sides have reached the middle game, and the plate seems to be inseparable.
After a long time, Li Dan looked at the chessboard and said slowly in Japanese: "This game, I'm afraid I'm going to win!" ”
The samurai on the opposite side of the chessboard bowed slightly and said loudly: "Indeed, if you take three more moves, you will lose in the next move!" ”
Hearing this, Li Dan laughed. When he was older and laughed so quickly, he couldn't help but cough a few more times.
While the two were talking, a middle-aged man dressed in Japanese-style haori rushed in from outside the courtyard. When the guards in the corridor saw the middle-aged man, they all bowed to him and let him walk quickly down the corridor.
Walking into the room where Li Dan was, the middle-aged man squatted down beside Li Dan and whispered a few words in Li Dan's ear.
"Chen Shengning... He's dead? ”
"Impossible!"
His eyes were staring at the middle-aged man who reported the news, and Li Dan's face was full of surprise.
Seeing Li Dan asking loudly, the middle-aged man took a step back and knelt on the tatami mat, and replied in a deep voice: "The news is conclusive, Chen Shengning is dead!" ”
Hearing this, Li Dan took a breath and asked slowly, "How did you die?" ”
The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground replied: "When Xiao Xiangui, a businessman from Zhangzhou, was ambushed on Plum Blossom Bottle Island in Zhangzhou, he was killed by Xiao Xiangui's people!" ”
Li Dan blinked his eyes and asked in wonder: "Then Xiao Xiangui I have seen, he is a cowardly businessman, in order to buy my flag fart, what ability do you have to kill Chen Shengning?" ”
The man kneeling on the ground replied, "Then Xiao Xiangui has a subordinate named Li Tu, who bought a full set of firearms from the Satsuma Domain. This Li Tu trained shipwrights and sailors in the Satsuma Domain last year to use firearms, and practiced for a year, so he defeated Chen Shengning and the two boatmen with firearms, and killed Chen Shengning. ”
"This Li Tu also seized one of Chen Shengning's boats."
Hearing the name Li Tu, Li Dan's eyes narrowed. Obviously, the young man who claimed to be eighty percent sure of defeating Chen Shengning and dared to persuade himself face-to-face not to make a big deal out of it, Li Dan did not forget.
"Li Tu!"
Unexpectedly, this Li Tu really ended Chen Shengning.
It's really terrifying.
With a "snap", Li Dan knocked the sunspot in his hand on the chessboard fiercely. With a lot of force in his hand, Li Dan actually knocked out a crack in the chess piece polished by the ink crystal.
