Chapter 57: Scenery of the Americas
There are a few white clouds hanging in the blue sky, and under the blue sky, there is still a blue sea. After a storm, the sun appeared in the sky again, and everything seemed so fresh.
If it weren't for the water stains on the bow deck, if it weren't for the fish falling on the boat, if it weren't for the bloodshot bandages on the soldiers, it would all seem to be very beautiful!
Two big ships, in the vast ocean, are really two chestnuts in the sea.
After the baptism of the storm, the two boats watched as their former comrades were thrown into the sea and sunk into the bottomless sea. After a short period of grief, everyone had to cheer up and muster up the courage to face the unknown journey together.
Because they know that if they are discouraged, it means destruction for them!
"Raise the sails! Set sail! Qi Zhonghao stood on the top of the boat and shouted loudly waving his left arm, his right arm was still wrapped in a thick splint, obviously suffering from the storm he had just experienced.
"Raise the sails...... set sail and set sail...... is the cry of the warriors, who hope to encourage themselves and expel their fears.
After a brief adjustment, the two ships opened their sails again and sped forward, drawing two white lines on the blue sea.
Liang Shi was sitting in the command room, and when he saw Qi Zhonghao walking in, he greeted him and asked, "Big brother, how is the situation?" ”
"Alas!" Qi Zhonghao sighed: "I just sent away more than a dozen brothers, but fortunately, the ship is strong, there are no major problems for the time being, and some minor injuries have been repaired." I don't know when this day is the head, in the past few months at sea, I have been sick and stormy, and we have lost one or two hundred people. You said that this sea is also weird, when the wind and waves are calm, it looks very comfortable, and you can fish or something, but when this storm comes, all his sister's changes have changed, and if it goes on like this, maybe one day the boat won't be able to carry it......"
Liang Shi: "Who says it's not!" When I heard the saint say, we didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect that there were so many doorways on this sea. I haven't heard that the saint has ever gone to sea, how do you say the saint knows so much? ”
"Lao Liang, let me tell you, the Holy Lord knows much more than you think!" Yang Sien, who had been busy drawing and calculating beside him, suddenly interjected.
Liang Shi asked curiously: "Xiao Yang, I heard that you grew up with the saint, is the saint really like the legend outside, you were born to understand a lot of things?" ”
Yang Sien: "That's not a legend, it's all true!" Do you think that there is anyone else in this world who can teach the strange things of the Holy One? ”
Liang Shi nodded: "That's the same!" By the way, does the Holy Lord say that this America really exists? ”
Qi Zhonghao also followed suit and asked, "That's right! Xiao Yang, you said that we spent so much effort on this trip, we won't work in vain, right? ”
Yang Sien said solemnly: "I have never doubted the words of the Holy One! The Holy One said that there is an America, then there must be an America! Don't worry, if I'm right, we'll be able to see the Americas with another moonlight. ”
Qi Zhonghao slapped the table: "That's a good feeling!" I'm not afraid of your jokes, since the last time I docked to replenish, I have been fading out of a bird for more than a month. That's good news, I'm going to tell those bunnies and make them happy too! ”
Liang Shi patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead!" Take it easy! ”
A moment later, thunderous laughter could be heard from both ships, and even the boats seemed to be running faster......
Maybe it's because their character has improved, or maybe God has mercy on them, in short, there was no big storm in the following days.
A month later, they finally saw the dawn of victory!
"Land, land, land......" The voice of a lookout sentry did not startle a shoal of gulls and herons, but it disturbed the hearts of the two boats.
The next moment, the soldiers rushed onto the deck as fast as they could, howling loudly towards the land, which was still far away.
But when we actually arrived on land, it was already the third day after everyone's excitement.
"Big brother, immediately after landing on the shore, take your people down to guard and look for water sources!" Liang Shi stood at the bow of the boat and quickly entered his identity.
"Gotcha! You can rest assured that I will do something! Little ones, come with me and stay safe! Qi Zhonghao howled, waved his still stiff right hand, and jumped into the shallow water with hundreds of people.
Some people set up simple docks on the beach, while others dispersed in small groups.
Soon, Liang Shi and others also came to this temporary camp by boat.
Although the trek was hard, the excitement of stepping on land made everyone forget about fatigue for a while. One by one, according to the prior arrangement, they sat down in an orderly manner, sentry sentry, cooking, and tenting...... Everything looks harmonious!
Suddenly, there was a burst of agitation, breaking this harmony.
"What's going on?" Liang Shi saw a bunch of people gathered there, so he walked over and asked.
When the soldiers saw that their leader had passed, they all got out of the way, only to see a soldier lying on the ground, with a feathered arrow stuck in his repulsion, and a Lang Zhong next to him was treating his wounds.
Hearing the boss's question, the handsome Lang Zhong replied in the peculiar sissy tone of "his": "My lord, when this brother went out to investigate, he stepped on the mechanism in the forest, but fortunately this arrow has no arrow, and the injury is not deep. However, I look at the condition of his wound, and it seems that the arrow is poisonous, and I still have to treat him. ”
"Oh, then you're busy!" Liang Shi took the arrow and rubbed it, but he couldn't see the reason, so he handed it to Bai Yutang next to him.
Bai Yutang looked at the "arrow" carefully before saying to Liang Shi: "Captain, it seems that our luck is not bad, this one has just come ashore and is alive." If you look at this arrow, there is not even an arrow, just sharpened wood, and these people must not be good. However, for the sake of safety, I still suggest that the captain recall the soldiers, and let my men investigate first and then consider the long term. ”
Liang Shi nodded, and ordered the guards beside him: "Send a signal to the people on the ship immediately and let them ring the alarm!" ”
After receiving the order, the guard waved the flag in the direction of the ship a few times, and in an instant, they rang the alarm bell on the top of the ship. Qi Zhonghao heard the warning and quickly rushed back to the camp with people.
"Second brother, what's wrong?" Before Qi Zhonghao arrived, the voice came into the camp.
Liang Shi: "Big brother, don't be impatient!" One of your soldiers was caught in a trap just now, and there may be people around, so I called you back to prepare for your defense. Bai Yutang had already taken his people to investigate the situation, and he would know what the situation was later! ”
"Got it! I'll arrange it! Qi Zhonghao rushed out again in a rage, commanding the remaining more than 800 marines, scattered around the camp, and there were many light and dark sentinels.
Bai Yutang personally left half of his men to defend the camp, and personally led the other half of his men to shuttle through the dense forest, carefully avoiding the traps that could be seen everywhere, and occasionally touching some relatively hidden mechanisms, but they all dodged with their own dexterity.
Finally, after they had climbed over a mountain, a small village came into view. Bai Yutang took out his clairvoyance and carefully observed the situation in the village, then took out a pen and paper and skillfully drew it, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he folded the paper and put it back in his pocket, and quietly left with his subordinates.
"Captain, I'm back." Bai Yutang walked into the tent and shouted at Liang Shi, while the pretty man stepped forward and gently patted the dew off his body.
Liang Shi: "Yutang, what's the situation?" ”
Bai Yutang: "As I expected, there is a village on the other side of the mountain, and it seems that there must be one or two thousand people. I took a cursory look, and some of them were dressed in beast fur, and the boats were all canoes and rafts, and their weapons didn't seem to be like our steel, so they shouldn't pose much of a threat to us, so we could try to touch them. ”
And the village in his mouth is in full bloom at the moment, don't underestimate these mountain people, after all, they are local snakes. As soon as Liang Shi and the others came ashore, their every move fell into the eyes of others, but they were not stupid, seeing such a large number of people suddenly appear at their door, they would definitely not show their heads if they didn't figure out the situation.
"Elder, there are many, many people coming outside, and they have big boats, and they are all dressed in strange things, and we don't understand what they say. They also have a very strange thing, and they kill big insects far away in one swoop. By the way, one of them was injured by our trap, do you think they will come and fight us! Elder, you said they wouldn't have been sent to us by the Toltec tribes! It's over...... What do we do? A young man, bare-chested and covered with only fur on his lower body, stared at an old man and muttered a lot of bird language that only they could understand.
The old man, also dressed in fur, walked around the house many times with a cane before he comforted the young people in the room: "Be quiet! Listen to you, the fierce people, they don't dress like Toltecs, and the Toltecs don't have such big ships...... In this case, these people of unknown origin may be stronger than the Toltec tribe, and perhaps they can help us avoid the catastrophe. By the way, didn't you just say that one of them was injured by our trap, so let's send them the medicine, say something nice to them, and then ...... Well, that's it! I'll do it tomorrow! I'm so smart, oh hahaha......"
"Oh haha...... Oh, haha...... "A room of people followed the elder and roared inexplicably.
The night was peaceful, everyone had a peaceful night, they didn't have the idea of beating the natives, and the natives spent the night quietly in the mountains.
At dawn the next day, the red sun had just risen on the eastern hill, and the camp began to come alive. Chong Shiheng and his soldiers were hurrying up to train urgently in order to recover from the drawbacks of not landing for a long time, while Liang Shi, Yang Sien and others were thinking about how to open up the situation in the camp tent.
At this moment, the voice of the guard suddenly came from the door: "Report!" ”
Liang Shileng was stunned: "Come in!" ”
The guards responded and entered: "Report to the captain! The scouts reported that the natives were moving and were massively massing! Please instruct! ”
Liang Shi: "Oh? Go and call Vice Captain Qi! ”
Guard: "Yes! ”
After a while, Qi Zhonghao ran in excitedly: "Second brother, hurriedly call me back, what's the matter?" ”
Liang Shi: "The scout came to report just now, the natives have moved, you can take someone to prepare, just in case, but don't scare people!" ”
Qi Zhonghao: "Understood! Look at me! If they want to write a text, we will play with him, and if they want to play martial arts, we will also accompany them to the end! ”
Knock knock knock......
Before the beating of the three-way drums stopped, all the sergeants had already assembled in the camp, and one by one they were looking ahead in full armor, and they had been holding their breath for months, and they were worried that they had no chance to vent.
Qi Zhonghao shouted on the stage: "Little guys, get ready for battle, we have to pick up guests!" (To be continued.) )
