Chapter 494: Raging Storm
The gloomy sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the strong sea breeze blew huge waves, but in the daytime, it was almost like night, and it was almost impossible to reach the fingers. The oppressive atmosphere of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info indicated that a great storm was coming, but in such bad weather, there was still a group of more than 300 sea ships on the cusp of the storm.
In front of the fleet was the treasure ship, the huge hull of which was as light as nothing on the rough sea level, easily swept up and thrown down by the waves. There were no sails on the nine huge poles, and the shouts of sailors could be faintly heard in the rough seas.
Takeo's face was pale and he was fixed to a chair, his fat body swaying violently at the moment, causing the chair to squeak from time to time. It seems that the shelf may fall apart at any time to complete the mission of Guan Rong of the chair.
Early this morning, when Takeo set sail from the ancient dynasty, the sky was still blue, the sun was shining, and the sea was calm. Who knew that it had only been less than two hours before encountering this sudden weather, not to mention how unfortunate Takeo was at this moment.
This is obviously a bad omen for leaving the school, and he is still hesitating to order to turn around and return to China. But when I thought that I had already made an appointment with Yan Ruwei to fight the Watanabe family, if I couldn't back down because of a storm.
This may make Yan Ruwei suspicious of himself, which will affect the cooperation with the Watanabe family in the future. If you lose the big cake of the Watanabe family like this, Takeo will never allow it.
So driven by interests, Takeo insisted on moving forward, and the two subordinates who persuaded him to go back first were also beaten with military sticks, which can be said to be not hitting the south wall and not looking back.
It was better for Takeo to stay on the treasure ship, but the battleships that accounted for eighty percent of the fleet were not so lucky. Neither structurally nor in weight, the battleship could not be compared with the treasure ship. At this moment, Takeo was still unscathed in the chair in the cabin, and those soldiers on the battleship were either thrown up and injured or vomited and died.
The officers and men on the battleship knew in their hearts that the situation in front of them was just an appetizer, and the real feast had not yet arrived. At that time, whether these warships can hold up their hearts is uncertain, in this storm, if the battleships can't support and fall apart, then they will definitely not escape death.
But the king did not let them return, and with trepidation, the soldiers could only accept the reality of the coming death test if they did not dare to disobey the order.
"Boom...... Rumble. ”
A huge flash of lightning flashed over the fleet without warning, and after a deafening thunderclap, it began to pour down. Large raindrops that fell from the thick black clouds smashed like bullets on the hull of the ship under the acceleration of the strong wind.
The crackling sound instantly drowned out the other sounds of the entire sea, and the arrival of the rain soon blinded the entire fleet, with visibility of less than a meter. In such a situation, it is easy for the fleet to lose its direction and scatter the fleet.
Takeo still didn't have much sailing experience, and if Zheng He was facing such weather at the moment, he would first have asked the sailors to link all the ships with iron chains. Not only will this be better protected against unknown disasters, but it will also prevent the fleet from being easily blown away by strong winds.
Without adequate preparations, he directly faced such a typhoon weather at sea, and the outcome of Takeo's fleet can be imagined. Fortunately, this ship is the strongest ship in the Ming Dynasty, so in the storm, although there was some damage, but fortunately in the misfortune, although all the ships were damaged, none of them fell apart.
The storm continued for nearly an hour before it faded away, and Takeo was still firmly anchored in his chair, but a pungent fishy smell permeated the entire cabin.
The soldiers were obviously less experienced than the sailors, and almost all of them found a place to hold themselves in place, and vomited the least. As for those soldiers, they were much more embarrassed, not only did they vomit and turn pale one by one, but they didn't have time to fix themselves, but they were hit with blue noses and swollen faces, and even broke their hands and feet.
As the typhoon faded away and the sea calmed down, Takeo moved his fingers and opened his eyes, which had been closed. At the height of the shaking just now, he felt how close he was to death, almost within reach. Almost for a moment, he felt that this time he was dead.
Taking a deep breath of fishy odor, Takeo finally came back to his senses, and the unpleasant smell of the cabin did not dislike him, but instead had an excited expression on his face for the rest of his life. His chest was wet, and he couldn't help but look down, only to see that it was covered with smudges, and the unpleasant smell of vomit kept irritating his nerves.
Takeo moved his body only to find that he was still held to the chair by the rope, wondering why no one had come to untie him until now, and he couldn't help but look around, only to see that there was no one standing in the cabin. The snort was mixed with the shouts of the sailors, and it was a chaotic scene.
Unexpectedly, Takeo, whose face became extremely pale again, and the soldiers on the treasure ship had become like this, wouldn't the battleship that was half smaller than the treasure ship be even more serious.
When he was regretting it, two soldiers who were not seriously injured finally came to untie the rope for him, and Takeo's stomach was still churning at the moment. When he sat down, his stomach was squeezed and he didn't feel anything, but when he stood up, he began to tumble over the sea, and without saying a word he rushed out of the cabin, and when he came to the deck, he vomited and almost fainted.
After breathing in the fresh air outside for a moment, Takeo felt a little better and stopped vomiting. Ignoring his physical discomfort, he hurried to the bow of the ship and looked around, only to see that the battleships had become tattered as if they had undergone a fierce baptism of fire.
"Come on, how about finding out the losses of the fleet for this king?" Takeo clenched his fists and suddenly roared loudly.
If the losses are too heavy, then his plan to fight the Watanabe family this time will be in vain, and all the losses in front of him are only because of his persistence. Thinking about the consequences, Takeo even has the heart to die at the moment, so naturally he has no good temper.
Fortunately, the final losses reported by the guards were not large, and most of the soldiers were only slightly injured, and only a few were unlucky enough to break their hands and feet by the rocking boat. Although the ship looks dilapidated on the outside, it is only the deck and houseboat that are damaged, and there is no problem with the structure of the hull. (To be continued.) )
