Old, weak, women and children, as well as people who had never had experience at sea, were placed in the cabins.

Sitting in the cabin, Mrs. Zhang looked out of the window.

It's still the same as the sea and the sky, but the field of vision is much narrower.

"Why did Xianxin let me enter the ship?"

"Mother-in-law doesn't need to worry, the son-in-law must make sense to arrange it like this!"

Zhen Mi's mother also said on the side: "The fifth prince has always been steady, and there must be a reason for me to enter the cabin!" ”

Not only was Mrs. Zhang suspicious, but everyone who came from Yecheng but couldn't stand firm on the deck also wondered why they were driven into the cabin.

Yuan Xu stood at the bow of the boat with Ma Fei and Ma Yi.

Looking out at the sea in the distance, he asked, "Are all the people settled?" ”

"It's settled." Ma Fei responded.

"Who's going to take care of it?"

"Fourth son!"

Yuan Xu was stunned and said: "The fourth brother has never boarded the ship, he is still powerless to protect himself, and he can still take care of everyone?" ”

"The two of us must stay with Childe." Ma Yi said: "If it's not the fourth son, who can take care of it?" ”

Without further ado, Yuan Xu looked at the sea.

As Ma Yi said, if a pirate comes to attack, except for Yuan Kang, there is really no one else to take care of the people who have not lived on the sea.

On the deck, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion ran back and forth.

Many put their arrows on the bowstring and prepared for battle.

There are also some people who are busy pushing **** and naval battle catapults onto the deck.

The so-called catapults for naval battles are much smaller than the catapults used for siege.

It looks more like a Thunderbolt, but is much taller than a Thunderbolt.

The sea stretches as far as the eye can see. As far as the eye can see, it is vast blue.

There is no shadow of other Penglai warships, that is, there is no response at all!

"Are the two military advisors really unprepared?" Ma Fei was still angry about Tian Feng and Frustration not sending warships to pick them up.

"The warlord wants the pirates to come." Yuan Xu's response was very bland.

Ma Fei's face changed suddenly. said angrily: "The two military advisors are also here, doesn't this put the son in danger?" ”

"If the pirates come. The purpose must be somewhere. Yuan Xu said: "If there is a strategy and they don't come, how can we know that there will be a war in Penglai?" And how do you know what tactics they will use? ”

"But ......" Thinking that Yuan Xu was in danger, Ma Fei was unhappy in his heart.

"It's coming!" Pointing to the few black shadows that appeared at the junction of sea and sky, Yuan Xu shouted: "Prepare for battle!" ”

"There are two of us here, Childe should go back to the cabin first." Ma Fei said: "The fourth prince has never boarded a big ship, and it may be inappropriate for him to take care of everyone." ”

"Is so-and-so a person who is afraid of death?" Yuan Xu said: "Arrange people to guard the hatch, and no one is allowed to go out." I want to see what the pirates have planned! ”

Sailing over were three long, narrow pirate ships.

Although it is a single sloop. Due to the shuttle-shaped hull, they traveled faster than the Penglai warship.

In the cabin, Mrs. Zhang saw three boats coming rapidly from the window.

"Zhen Ji, is the person coming ahead to greet me?"

Glancing out the window, Zhen Mi was taken aback at first, and then pretended to be indifferent: "It's not a Penglai warship, the sea is vast, and there are often some merchant ships and fishing boats coming and going." ”

Looking at her suspiciously, Mrs. Zhang didn't ask any more.

The surprise on Zhen Mi's face flashed. But she looked at it squarely.

It must not be a merchant ship or a fishing boat!

pretending to be calm, Zhen Mi was also puzzled in her heart.

There are often pirates in the East China Sea, but there is no old grudge with Penglai.

In the past, Yuan Xu came and went, and pirates never appeared.

This time, however, three pirate ships were heading in the opposite direction. She couldn't help but be suspicious.

The warship rode the wind and waves, and never went to sea, let alone the people who had ever been on a seaboard. It was already pale.

can endure it, but his face is pale and weak.

Many can't bear it. I couldn't stand the violent jolting for a long time and vomited in the cabin.

The most intense vomiting was Yuan Kang.

He was supposed to take care of the people. In the end, a few soldiers took care of him.

After vomiting two or three times in a row, Yuan Kang wiped his mouth with a pale face, and muttered and scolded: "Damn, if you walk like this for half a day, you still don't vomit out all the bitter gall?" ”

The soldiers who took care of him were also very uncomfortable.

One of them couldn't hold back, and spat out, spitting up a lot on the ground.

The huge Penglai warship rides the wind and waves.

The three pirate ships are as small as three sampans compared to it.

It was Guan Cheng who led the pirate ship to intercept it.

Looking at the approaching Penglai warship, he ordered the pirates beside him: "Spread out and fight with the enemy!" ”

The pirate ships on both sides made a detour to the side and headed for the two wings of the Penglai warship.

The warship in charge came to a halt.

Seeing this scene, Ma Fei wondered, "What are the pirates doing?" ”

"They're coming in more than three." Yuan Xu said: "It should be to coerce us to go parallel with it and enter the ambush circle!" ”

"Childe, give a certain fifty soldiers." Ma Yi said: "When they get closer, they will board the enemy ship and fight them!" ”

"If you dare to come, you will have to deal with it." Yuan Xu said: "If you have no choice, you must not fight on the side!" ”

The pirate ship approached, and Ma Yi was already eager to try.

was rejected by Yuan Xu, and he suddenly felt lost!

"Although the hull of the ship is clad in copper, if the pirates hit it from the side, it will not be able to withstand it." Ma Fei said: "Once they form a circle, they can only conform to their wishes. ”

"Advance warning!" Yuan Xu smiled indifferently: "If he doesn't listen, it makes sense for me to do it!" ”

didn't understand what Yuan Xu wanted to do, Ma Fei and Ma Yi were a little nervous.

The sea is not as good as the land.

Once the ship sinks, the whole ship will fall overboard.

What's more, there are many family members and soldiers on the ship.

At that time, even if the pirates are not cleaned, this shipload will not survive at all.

The two pirate ships coming from the flanks were getting closer and closer, and Yuan Xu instructed the soldiers: "Raise the flag and tell them to stop the ship." If you look forward as a provocation! ”

The flag bearer jumped on the bow of the ship and waved the flag.

Seeing the flag of the Penglai warship, Guan Cheng asked the pirate beside him: "Yuan Xianxin found out that something was wrong and asked me to stop the ship, what can I do?" ”

"The Penglai warship is huge, and the hull is covered with copper." Guan Cheng said: "With three ships, there is no way to attack. Guo Gong has set up an ambush in front of him, if he doesn't enter the middle of the road, we are helpless! ”

"How?"

"Order the warships on both wings to stop moving forward, and order the standard-bearer to raise the flag and inform Yuan Xianxin that I have heard that the prince has returned to escort him, and there is no malicious intent!"

A pirate jumps onto the bow of the ship and waves the flag vigorously.

Seeing the pirate flag, the soldier of the Tianhai Battalion at the bow of the ship shouted: "Childe, the pirate sent out the flag, saying that it is not malicious to come to escort the escort!" ”

"Tell them that the escort should not be approached if they are a little farther away!" Yuan Xu commanded the standard-bearer. (To be continued.) )
