Chapter 8: Freedom from the Sea of Suffering
The pirates used hostages to coerce the officers and soldiers to give up the pursuit, but the officers and soldiers ordered them to surrender quickly, hand over the hostages, and not make useless resistance. The two sides reached a stalemate for a while, the contradictions gradually became white-hot, and the cannon fodder was about to beat gongs and drums to play the game.
The scene that I used to see often on TV is now happening to me, is this dog blood or a cup? Tang Lu'er asked the sky speechlessly, damn, no matter what it is, the most important thing is to find a way to save his life.
Although the two sides are in a state of confrontation at the moment, in fact, the pirate's side is at the end of the crossbow, even if there are hostages in their hands, it will not increase the chance of escape. And now it is not a river crab society, and now they are in the vast sea, so everyone knows in their hearts that the lives of these dozen or so flat-headed people are not too heavy no matter which side they are.
It is estimated that in the eyes of the government, these innocent people can be saved, and even if they can't be saved, anyway, they must not let that group of pirates escape under their noses. What's more, the pirate's young master Tian Qi is still hiding in it, if he really lets this person escape, then he doesn't want to continue to sit firmly in this official position, after Lu Hao, the deputy commander of the Liuzhou sailors, put down the binoculars, he only thought about it for a moment, and then ordered the sailors to prepare to fire.
Lu Hao was a person who was eager for quick success, and when he was chasing him all the way before, he had already ordered the cannon to be fired after confirming that Tian Qi was on that boat. But at first, he didn't let anyone aim, just wiped the side and shocked first, because he wanted to catch it alive. And after chasing down this way, after the two sides fought several times, he immediately realized that the cannon on the pirate ship must have something wrong, otherwise he would not have fired twice at his side and then stopped, so now is the time for him to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
Although the other party hijacked the Chen family's ship at this time, he just took a closer look, and there was no one from the Chen family on the ship. As for the dozen or so people who were escorted out by the pirates, there may be people from the Chen family among them, but it doesn't matter, as long as you catch that group of pirates, you can say anything at that time. And if he can capture the pirate named Tian Qi alive, then he will not only be without fault, but also a great achievement, this is the words promised by King Anyuan himself, so whether he can be promoted to the rank of admiral in the future depends on this time.
This is an opportunity sent to him by God, starting from this morning, including him, the four deputy admirals have led their men and horses to pursue the fleeing pirates in all directions, but they didn't expect to let him run into the trace of Na Tian Qi, and it happened that there was a problem with the cannon on the other party's ship, this is not a chance to send to himself in vain! The more Lu Hao thought about it, the more excited he became, and no longer caring about the life or death of a dozen hostages, he ordered the sailors to shoot at the Chen family's ship. Right now, the ship that Tian Qi is on has been hit once before, although it has not been scrapped, but it is almost there, and now as long as he smashes the Chen family's ship again, Tian Qi will not become a turtle in the urn by then, and he will be able to catch it.
"Wang Balamb, what should the lackeys do if they really don't care about the lives and deaths of these people?" One of the pirates who was escorting Tang Lu'er also found that the cannon on Lu Hao's side was aimed at this side, and his heart was on fire.
"grandma, a bunch of grandchildren!" The other pirate swung his knife angrily, first slashing the nearest hostage, and then yelling, "Come and help, let this ship fly faster, and I'll let those grandsons chase after Lao Tzu's ass and drag them to death!" ”
The pirate's knife slashed right at the man's neck, and although his head did not fall, his throat was cut by the knife, and the man fell down without even making a sound, and his body twitched a few times, and blood gushed out of his neck, and he died in a short time. Fifteen of the sixteen hostages remained, three others were stunned by the bloody scene, and two were so frightened that they sat on the ground, shaking like a sieve. The rest of the people cried and begged for mercy, but the pirate was impatient to pay attention to them, and with another swing of the knife, he saw a man's arm fly out!
There was a sudden howl of ghosts and wolves on the boat, but before they could recover from this bloody scene, the cannonballs from there flew whizzing.
It is estimated that Lord Yama had a kind heart and did not intend to collect people in a row, so after the cannonball broke through the air, it landed three feet away from the ship. I only heard an earth-shattering loud bang, and at the same time blew up waves about ten meters high, and the boat was almost overturned by this wave. Everyone staggered to the side, and the pirates shouted and pulled the sails, roaring in the direction and speed of the ship.
Seeing that another cannonball was about to fly over, Uncle Chen took advantage of the fact that those pirates couldn't take care of them, so he hurriedly said to Tang Lu'er: "Girl, I don't think the government plans to take care of us people, my ship is small, and the speed is definitely not as fast as the sailor's warship, it won't take long, this ship will not be hit by the cannonball, and it will be overturned by the waves stirred up by the cannonball." Girl, do you dare to jump down, as long as you escape from those pirates now, the officers and soldiers will not die without help, but if you are on this ship, you can only follow the burial. And even if those pirates do escape the government's pursuit, they won't keep us then. ”
"Uncle, let's jump quickly." Tang Lu'er also saw this situation, and she could fly cannonballs over to innocent people, and she knew that she definitely didn't have any golden fingers on her body at this time, and there would be no heroes who stepped on seven-colored clouds to save her. And the officers and soldiers designated that they wanted to destroy the ship directly, and if they hesitated, they could only follow and be cannon fodder.
Anyway, she has lived on the island for three years, and her water nature has been trained, and if she jumps into the sea at this time, the chance of survival is indeed greater than staying on this ship.
So a moment before the second cannonball flew over, Tang Lu'er, with the help of Uncle Chen, jumped into the sea with a heart of seeing death as home, and Uncle Chen shouted at the other people who were scared stupid the moment before he followed, and then he didn't care much, so he plunged into the sea. At this time, no one can take care of anyone too much, it is rare to think about shouting and reminding, and the rest depends on whose fortune is greater.
The second shell landed less than a foot away from the ship, but fortunately the hull of the ship helped them to block the fragments, but the waves still scattered those who jumped into the sea. Tang Lu'er was shocked by the sound of the explosion, and after she floated up from the water, she saw the sea water in the sky splashing her head and face on her face, and she couldn't see anything clearly, no one could see it. When the water had subsided, she was about to shout, but she saw a pirate on the ship shooting at the man who had just jumped into the sea with a crossbow, and in the blink of an eye she saw that the water on the other side was slightly red.
Tang Lu'er was startled, she didn't dare to make a sound, she took a breath and dived into the water and swam desperately to the side, not caring about the direction for a while. When she remembered that she should have looked in the direction first, she heard the sound of a cannonball flying towards her, and she looked back at the surface of the sea, just in time to see that the cannonball had hit the bow of the ship, and there were shells flying behind her. She didn't have the courage to swim back, and at this moment, not to mention whether she could swim in the direction of the officers and soldiers, the most important thing was that it was likely that she would win the lottery with this turn, and then go directly to Hades to report.
She can only get out of here first and call for help when things calm down, and now that the shells are falling one after another, the sharks won't come this way, so she's safe for the time being. As for Uncle Chen, although I don't know what his current situation is, Uncle Chen's water nature is much better than hers, as long as she doesn't die, it is estimated that Uncle Chen won't die.
The cannon sound on the sea surface continued, the huge waves were like rain, and the waves were turbulent, Tang Luer tried his best to look in one direction, diving and ventilating alternately. After a while, she couldn't swim anymore, and she felt far enough away from that side that she finally stopped to rest for a while, and turned her head to look there.
The Chen family's boat was already emitting thick black smoke, and if she was still on board, it was estimated that it would have turned into a pile of minced meat. Another pirate ship was firing at the sailors' warship, and the smoke of gunpowder was billowing and the sound of cannons shook the sky, and this place became a battlefield at sea to harvest life.
Tang Lu'er looked at this scene in a daze, and only remembered for a long time that she should be farther away, in case the shell didn't have long eyes and missed its head, it would be too unjust to affect herself. I don't want her to cramp in her right leg as soon as she moves! Why was it that at this time, she panicked, and her body instantly lost strength......
Barely steadied his mind, gritted his teeth and relaxed his body, and ordered himself not to flutter blindly, otherwise he would die faster.
But in this vast sea, there is no heaven or earth, there are no heroes before and no heroes after them, thief God, how did I offend you, don't be so ruthless.
I really can't hold on, I just swam so far, my physical strength is already very consumed, and now my leg cramps are just worse. Tang Lu'er stretched her neck as much as possible, so that her head floated on the water, and her right hand was raised with the strength to feed, help...... She doesn't want to die like this, it's too aggrieved!
At this time, Lu Hao, who was blushing in the eyes, didn't expect that the person he wanted to capture alive had already jumped from the pirate ship into the sea and sneaked away the moment he opened fire. Behind a reef not far from Tang Lu'er, an unmanned boat was parked there, waiting for Tian Qi's arrival.
On a summer afternoon, the sun was scorching, and the small bronze medal that Tang Luer hung on his right hand reflected from time to time under the sunlight. Tian Qi and the pirate who jumped into the sea with him noticed the strangeness here from a distance, and the two of them tacitly sped up and swam towards Tang Lu'er, although the reflection was not strong, but it was guaranteed to be discovered by Lu Hao, and it would definitely affect them at that time.
Seeing that he was about to sink, he didn't want to see someone swimming towards him, Tang Lu'er suddenly shook his hand and shouted, "Save me......"
"Young master, a little girl, like the maid of the Chen family." The pirate swam forward first, grabbed Tang Lu'er's hand, took off her sign and glanced at it, and then turned back and said a word.
Less in charge? No, it won't be that...... Legend has it that the young master of the pirate group is here! Tang Lu'er's mouth opened, but her voice was stuck in her throat.
"Don't be in charge, do you want to ......" The pirate turned his head and made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Don't don't ...... Tang Lu'er was so frightened that she lost her voice, and quickly shook her head at the person behind the pirate and begged, but the sunlight was too dazzling, and she couldn't see the other party's expression clearly for a while, only faintly saw a head floating on the sea.
"Take it." Tian Qi glanced at Tang Lu'er, gave a deep command, and continued to swim forward.
So, as soon as the sad Tang Luer got out of the sea of suffering, he jumped into the fire kang.
