Chapter 245: Stumbling Plans
The captains also felt the mood of their subordinates, and repeatedly cheered up the crew and sailors on their respective ships before setting off, so that they didn't have to think too much about it.
Now that they are approaching Nanri Island, the light is about to lighten, these captains will not lie down to sleep or close their eyes to recuperate, they will not only keep an eye on the ships in front of them, and direct the ship's helmsmen to follow the ships in front of them so as not to fall behind or run away, but also to keep an eye on the movements of their men on board.
Seeing the troubled and sullen appearance of the sailors on their ship, the captains and their respective first mates finally began to mobilize their men on board.
"Brethren, the suffering of the king is something that the great ones cannot think of and do not want to see! But the matter has already come out, and the king would rather risk his death than let people send him back to the wolf's den for treatment, what is the picture? Do you understand? Didn't he just try to catch Chu Lao'er off guard, and beat Chu Lao'er?
Besides, this matter was done by Ma Feng's disloyal and unrighteous bastard, he is the brother of the king's commander, and this matter has nothing to do with the brothers of the third team! You can't blame this on the brothers in the third team, not to mention that now that Commander Ma has received the command banner of Commander Wang, Ma Feng's bastard is the first person he wants to kill is Commander Ma! So don't complain about the brothers in the third team about this!
We're going to do it with Chu Cailao in a while, look at the bear-like looks of you bastards, one by one like cramps, and the fuck is still a little human? Anyway, we are also the people of the sea wolf, the people of the big boss, the big boss is still sitting in the wolf's den at this time, waiting and looking forward to us going back, if you are still this half-dead appearance, I think you will simply jump into the sea here and pull it down, saving a while of soft hands and soft feet into soft feet shrimp! ……”
It was the captain of a detachment of two who spoke to his men on the ship.
And on the side of the third team, there was also a captain who was cheering up his men on the ship: "Brothers, listen, although Ma Feng is the deputy manager of our detachment, but what kind of thing he is, who of us doesn't know?" Now this ungrateful guy actually does such a bastard thing, this is your hanging! One or two of you are like dead mothers, what are you doing?
Now don't say anything else, even if we feel shameless because of Ma Feng's guy, now is the time for us to wash away the shame of this guy, you fucking don't dare to go in and cheer up, ready to beat that Chu Lao'er to the death for a while, and play the majesty of our third team? Wait for a fart!
I'm staring at you today, if the hell you lay a soft egg on Lao Tzu at this time, you fucking will give Lao Tzu a squatting urine in the future! I don't have the face to take you anymore, I'll find a mast and simply hang myself and pull it down! The province is angry at you grandsons! ……”
In short, in the fleet, at this time, the captains and mates of almost every boat were squatting in the crowd of their men, pointing fingers and gesturing to cheer up their subordinates, saying some truths that they felt were very reasonable.
In any case, the agitation had a considerable effect, and many people, after listening to it, temporarily put aside the things they were thinking about, took a deep breath, lifted their spirits, and began to perk up a little.
And Ma Xiao was in a very heavy mood at this time, and at the same time felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, when Wang Hong didn't have an accident, the main affairs in the fleet were mainly Wang Hong, and he was supplemented, some things Wang Hong could worry about, he played down, beat the side drum, and the two of them cooperated with him and didn't feel too much pressure.
But Wang Hong is now seriously injured, his life is hanging by a thread, and he may leave at any time, and now all the burdens are equivalent to pressing on his shoulders, making him suddenly feel a little overwhelmed, for fear that something will accidentally make a mistake.
In addition, he also knew that the Ma Feng incident was a great blow to the hearts of the people of the fleet, and at the same time, the loss of the commander in the battle was also an ominous omen for them.
What's more, what they have to deal with today is a behemoth, Chu Cailao's fleet is very strong, there is no doubt about this, originally some novices were afraid of this big battle, even people like Ma Feng were not optimistic about this fight with Chu Cailao, and finally took the risk to do such a thing that people and gods were angry about, you can imagine how much impact it will have on the troops of the fleet.
What he is most worried about is that many people in the fleet can't bear the psychological pressure when they are in battle, panic and cause chaos, and eventually lead to their defeat, which will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for their sea wolves, and he, as the most critical commander in this battle, will undoubtedly become the sea wolf's sinner for the ages.
After thinking of these things, Ma Xiao felt that his scalp was a little numb, and his mind could not be completely calm.
"Horse Commander! Compass Island is ahead! It's less than seven miles away from our Nanri Island! I didn't see the lights of the Clipper detachment for the time being! One of the captains of the horses said to the horses.
Ma Xiao put away the messy thoughts in his heart, forced himself to stabilize his mind, and said in a deep voice: "I know the way!" Continue to look, Luo Xianbin should meet us here according to yesterday's plan! Wait a minute! ”
Luo Xianbin led the clipper detachment to be quite busy these days, he and his men with five single and double masted flying clippers, as the reconnaissance ship of the sea wolf fleet, had to go back and forth between Nanri Island and Treasure Island every day, and reported the situation of Chu Cai's old fleet to Wang Hong and Ma Xiao.
Yesterday morning, Luo Xianbin did not wait for the main fleet to return to Nanri Island, so he rushed back to Treasure Island with his detachment in a fit of rage, wanting to question why Wang Hong and Ma Xiao did not act according to the plan, and when he arrived at Treasure Island, he learned that something big had happened on Treasure Island, and Ma Feng suddenly rebelled, injuring Wang Hong, and also disrupting their original plan.
Now Wang Hong's life and death are hanging by a thread, so Ma Xiao told Luo Xianbin to postpone the plan for a day, Luo Xianbin didn't let go of a fart, and took a few of his boats to rush back to Nanri Island again, probing Chu Cailao's news near Nanri Island, and according to the agreement, in the early morning, he took the clipper detachment to meet the main fleet in the north of Luopan Island in the north of Nanri Island.
According to the plan, Luo Xianbin should have arrived here at this time, waiting for the main fleet here, he is now the eye of Ma Xiao, before the main fleet starts to operate, he has to report the situation of Chu Cai's old fleet that arrived near Nanri Island at night to inform Ma Xiao.
But when the fleet was about to arrive at Luopan Island, it still didn't find the light signal sent by Luo Xianbin's clipper detachment, and at this time, Ma Xiao's heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't guess why Luo Xianbin also went wrong today, and he didn't plan to come here to meet him.
If Luo Xianbin doesn't come again, then he can only lead the main fleet to Nanri Island when the enemy situation is unknown, and directly engage in a battle with Chu Cailao.
But if he does this, he will not be able to know the specific situation of Chu Cai's old fleet in advance, so he will not be able to know himself and the enemy, and the chances of winning this battle will be much lower.
Ma Xiao's heart tugged, and he secretly complained about why Luo Xianbin had a problem at this juncture, if they didn't win this time, then Luo Xianbin would undoubtedly become the No. 2 sinner.
"Signal with a signal light! Let's see if the Clippers detachment reacts, if they didn't notice that we came over and didn't give a signal! Looking at the dark sea, Ma Xiao saw that the fleet was about to arrive at Luopan Island, so he had to take the risk of ordering his subordinates to use signal lights to the area around Luopan Island to try to establish contact with Luo Xianbin.
The speed of the fleet began to slow down gradually when it reached this point, delaying for a moment to wait for Luo Xianbin's clipper detachment to appear.
Suddenly, a lamp lit up on the horse's handsome boat, and this lamp also had only a round hole covered with glass that could be directed in one direction to emit light, and the rest of the place was made of copper, and in front of the glass of this lamp, there were several movable covers, and after pulling the cover, the lamp could flicker on and off like a blink of an eye.
This is also a kind of signal lamp made by Yu Xiaotian himself, which is lit with an oil lamp, and there is a sunken copper mirror on the back of the oil lamp, which just reflects the light of the oil lamp out of the lamp hole in front, which can make the lamp brighter and the light can be farther, and the principle is actually a spotlight.
But in this day and age, directional light is a novelty, and there is only one way to see the light emitted by the fleet, and to read the meaning from the flickering light.
After the first signal was issued, there was still a black hole on the sea, and there was no response, and the fleet began to gradually stop at this time, and everyone's mood sank in vain, I don't know what happened to Luo Xianbin's fleet, and it was lost at this time.
Ma Xiao waited for a while, did not find Luo Xianbin's detachment, and couldn't help but be more worried, so he ordered to signal again, and at the same time he also made up his mind that the dawn was imminent at this time, if Luo Xianbin did not appear again, he would not wait for them anymore, and directly ordered the entire fleet to rush to Nanri Island.
But not long after the signal was issued, the same flickering light finally appeared on the water on the left in front of the fleet, and someone immediately pointed in the direction of the light and shouted to the horses: "Commander, it's the Luo Guan team here!" ”
