Chapter 33: The Yellow Sparrow in the Last 2
"!" Zheng Python couldn't help but scold, what is the origin of this fleet? Why is it here at this juncture? A series of question marks appeared in his head, and he quickly looked in the direction of the incoming ship.
In the fleet of sea wolves, a blue background golden wolf flag is hung on the mast of each ship, fluttering with the sea breeze, looking majestic.
Although their ships were not brand new, and many of them had patched sails, it did not affect the senses of outsiders, and the nine boats were in a goose-shaped formation, led by the half-breed brig in the center of Yu Xiaotian, all of whom had eaten enough of the wind to increase their speed to the highest speed, and maintained a formation with each other, without any confusion, and began to sail into the battlefield.
Zheng Python turned his head to look at the three Yan Siqi's boats that were surrounded, and at this time he happened to see that his subordinates were affected by the fleet that came over, and their morale was suppressed, but Yan Siqi's subordinates were greatly boosted, and one guy knocked his subordinates down, and many of his subordinates fell into the sea one after another.
So Zheng Python's nose was about to be crooked, this fleet came at a bad time, as long as he was given a little more time, he would be able to succeed, as long as he could control these three Yan Siqi's silver ships, even if that fleet came, he would have enough time to move the silver to his ship, kill all Yan Siqi's men, and Yang Fan would escape from here.
But at this juncture, such an inexplicable fleet came.
The sea in this area is not a common shipping route at all, and few ships usually pass through here, and even if there are ships passing through here, they are only one or two boats, either bound for Japan or the Ryukyus, or deliberately bypassing the normal shipping lanes and detouring from the open sea to the north.
Therefore, the identity of this fleet that suddenly appeared was very suspicious, because it was still a little far away at this time, and he couldn't see the flag hanging on the top of the mast of the coming ship for a while.
Zheng Python was angry and nervous in his heart, and fell into a dilemma for a while.
He was sent by his brother Zheng Yiguan this time, and brought people here to ambush Yan Siqi's three silver boats, the original plan was to clean up the three boats, and after snatching the silver, kill everyone on the boat, and completely wipe out the mouth, even these three boats, also find a place to scuttle, completely eliminate the corpse, and leave no handle, even if Yan Siqi suspects that Zheng Yiguan did it, there is no evidence, and lay the groundwork for Zheng Yiguan and Yan Siqi to turn against each other in the future.
And before he set off, Zheng Yiguan said that he had to do it cleanly, and if he accidentally encountered a passing ship at sea, he would also solve it, kill all the people who saw them, and in short, not let their identities be exposed.
But the current situation was beyond their expectations, now that they had revealed their identities, they thought that they could successfully kill Chen Xinji and his party, but they didn't expect that at the critical moment, such a fleet appeared and rushed towards them.
This time the matter is in big trouble, now Chen Xinji and his men still have more than 100 people alive, the three boats have not been taken, and the silver has not been seen in a single tael, in a short period of time, he is afraid that he will not be able to kill Chen Xinji and these people, and there is such a fleet, let alone he can swallow it in one bite.
Even if he ordered a retreat now, their identities have been completely exposed, as long as Chen Xinji and the others leave here alive, then Yan Siqi will soon learn that Zheng Yiguan sent him and his men to ambush his silver ship, which is equivalent to completely tearing Zheng Yiguan and Yan Siqi apart.
The key to the problem is that Zheng Yiguan's current strength here in Bengang is not strong, if the two sides tear their faces like this, Yan Siqi will definitely be annoyed and angry, and attack Zheng Yiguan on the spot.
Zheng Python was suddenly a little stunned by this sudden situation, and he was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.
At this time, the fleet had already sailed down the wind, heading towards them at full speed, and it was getting closer and closer to them, and the discerning people saw that this fleet was not good, and they must have seen that there was a firefight here, but they still rushed straight over, so it means that they must be coming to intervene, although it is not clear what they are going to do, but it can basically be judged that they are definitely friends and foes, otherwise they would not have made such a gesture.
Zheng Python's subordinates were also anxious, and hurriedly asked Zheng Python what to do, whether to fight or withdraw, and asked Zheng Python to come up with an idea quickly, and they should hurry up and prepare.
Zheng Python's mind was in a mess at this time, and there was no way to sort out a clue, and when he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, a subordinate of Zheng Yiguan who followed him suddenly said to him:
"Second master! Let's plant it today! The matter has been revealed, I'm afraid it won't end well! ”
"Nonsense! Don't I know what to do with this? The question is what do we do now? Zheng Python scolded angrily.
This person who spoke was a close confidant of Zheng Yiguan, usually with a more active brain and more ideas, and was one of the people who could give him advice from time to time under Zheng Yiguan.
Things have developed to this point, this guy rolled his eyes, and said to Zheng Python urgently: "Second master! Today, we must not be able to hide our identity! The most important thing at the moment is to inform our big boss first! Let him hurry up and leave Bengang with his brothers! ”
Zheng Python glared and said angrily: "How can this be in time? Even if we leave now and rush back to Bengang, I'm afraid Chen Xinji and they will rush back immediately, and then we won't have time to leave at all, and Yan Siqi will know about it! ”
"The second master is angry! It doesn't mean that we're all going to go right away! You only need to send a boat back first, and the rest of the brothers and ships will stay for the time being, and drag Chen Xinji and this fleet first! As long as we drag them for a while, we can let the big boss get the news and leave Yan Siqi with our brothers!
At that time, even if Yan Siqi learns the news and wants to be unfavorable to our big boss, it will be too late! I'm afraid that's the only way to do it now!
Looking at the ships of this fleet, there are not many ships, not more than ours, with our strength, it will definitely be no problem to hold them down for a while! If you're lucky, you might even be able to eat them all!
Even if we can't eat them, as long as we break them up and block their way to Bengang, we can still drag on for a while, and there is no problem for our big boss and the brothers on the island to get out!
Please make a decision as soon as possible! This temporary kobold military advisor hurriedly gave Zheng Python an idea.
When Zheng Python heard this, it could only be like this, today is really unfavorable, this kind of thing happened, and their overall plan was disrupted, and it was obviously unrealistic to follow the original plan, so I could only find a way to let Zheng Yiguan evacuate Bengang first.
And now it seems that he doesn't necessarily have no chance, even if the matter is revealed, he should be able to drag on for a while, if he is lucky enough, he may even eat the fleet that comes, but if he wants to eat this fleet, he also feels that it is a bit difficult.
So he immediately arranged a fast boat, left here immediately, rushed back to Bengang, and passed the news to Zheng Yiguan, first asking Zheng Yiguan to evacuate there with his subordinates, so as not to be unfavorable to Zheng Yiguan after the matter was revealed.
A fast boat immediately raised its sails, turned its rudder and accelerated away from the battlefield, heading towards Bengang, and the rest of the ships Zheng Python assigned, leaving a few boats to drag Chen Xinji's three boats, and the rest immediately followed him, turned the rudder and turned around, and met the approaching fleet.
When the distance between the two sides was shortened, Zheng Python and they saw clearly the flags hanging on the mast of the coming ship, and immediately identified the identity of the coming ship.
He was a little confused, why did it happen that at this time, such a coincidental fleet of sea wolves would appear in this area, could it be that they had made an appointment in advance, was this a trap for their side?
But now that it has come to this, he has no way out, so he can only bite the bullet, Zheng Python is still quite jealous of the sea wolf, because he has been active in this area with Zheng Yiguan for a long time, and he knows more about the situation of the sea wolf.
If it were someone else, he would still be very confident that he could rely on the advantage of more ships to win these ships, but after changing to the fleet of the sea wolf, he would not have this confidence, after all, the sea wolf can be said to be famous in this area in the past two years, and it is by no means easy to deal with.
But Zheng Python was still lucky, and wanted to avoid a direct conflict with the sea wolf, so he decided to send a boat to meet him first, and probe the other party's intentions, whether he could do it with them, or not with them.
A boat was ordered by Zheng Python to meet the sea wolf's fleet, and Lao Yuan began to shout at the sea wolf's fleet.
Yu Xiaotian ordered the fleet to slow down slightly, approached the oncoming ship, and gradually heard the shouts of the people on this boat.
"Colleagues, you guys avoid it! ......" Zheng Python's subordinates shouted loudly at the sea wolf's fleet, probably meaning that they all did this, and now they are doing business here, hoping that the sea wolf's fleet will not get involved, and everyone will not interfere with the river water.
However, Zheng Python's subordinates on this boat didn't notice that in the fleet of sea wolves, there was another boat under Yan Siqi's boat, and when he was shouting there, Chen Xun had already rushed to the front with his boat in a rage, and rushed straight to the ship that came to negotiate with them.
Hearing the rumbling of a cannon, Chen Xun didn't wait to get close to this ship under Zheng Yiguan, and ordered his minions on the ship to ignite the cannon on their ship.
