Chapter 649: Angry Sea Battle
Near a reef more than twenty miles from the battlefield, a large fleet was anchored again, and the lookout on the mast looked far away at the place where the black smoke was rising in front of him, anxiously waiting for the signal that had been discussed for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the deck below, a man with a somewhat similar face to Zheng Feicai was also pacing around anxiously, "What the hell is going on with the second brother, the battle ahead is so fierce, why is he still reluctant to send a signal?" "Although I can't see what is happening on the battlefield, but so much smoke suddenly comes out in a short period of time, a little thought will know how fierce this battle is, no wonder Zheng Feifeng is so anxious, no matter whether the war is beneficial or unfavorable to your side, you should always give a signal so that we can prepare early!
How did he know that Zheng Feicai had been completely frightened just now, and it wasn't until he changed course that he remembered his previous agreement, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to light a few rockets and shoot them into the sky.
"Three masters! The signal of the second master is coming! Seeing this, the lookout immediately shouted loudly, while trying to distinguish the type of signal, "It's... It's red rockets, three in a row, it's ... This is to let us run away! ”
Zheng Feifeng sighed in his heart, how long have they been gone? Is this a signal to run away? How tragic was that battle just now? Although those East China Sea islands were not as good as their own fleet, Zheng Feifeng thought that even if he and Zheng Feicai wanted to annihilate this fleet together, it would take a while, and he would pay a heavy price, but who would have thought that he would only hold out for such a short time before being killed?
"Shouldn't it be those miscellaneous people who defected to Qian Hua?" Zheng Feifeng took a sip, threw all the reasons for the failure on the head of the East China Sea Daoyi, and hurriedly jumped up and commanded the army to anchor and sail, "Hurry up, if anyone is slow, stay behind and deal with Qian Hua by themselves!" Labor and management will not wait for them! ”
The sea that was still very calm just now suddenly became chaotic, and the captains of all the warships began to shout and curse loudly, commanding their sailors to lift anchors and raise sails, and they started their ships to prepare to escape, and even a few warships had a dispute because there were ships blocking their escape route, so angry that Zheng Feifeng scolded, if it wasn't for the lack of time, he would have thrown these guys who had not done enough to do more than enough to feed the sharks.
Jiangnan Navy Division is not a regular army in the end, if it is nothing in peacetime, it will be fine, at this critical time it will expose their shortcomings in training and discipline, the original estimated departure time was simply delayed by their toss, and when the fleet finally sorted out the formation and began to escape, the mast of the fleet under Zheng Feicai could already be seen behind him.
"Whoever is damn is given to labor and management, hurry up! Qian Hua's house is not far away! Zheng Feifeng was in a hurry, and he didn't care about waiting to check the losses of Zheng Feicai's fleet, so he rushed to the front first, and the battleships behind him also hurriedly used all their means to desperately speed up the escape, and they had long lost the spirit of being invincible in the world.
"Damn, how did these people build a boat? Why the hell are you running so fast? Looking at the treasure ship that was getting closer and closer behind him, Zheng Feicai's forehead was full of cold sweat, and after scolding, he hurriedly folded his hands and prayed to the god of the sea, "The god of the sea will bless us from escaping this catastrophe, if you can survive this time, the small one will definitely reshape the golden body for you, and the sacrifices will continue at four o'clock." ”
The jumping helpers and crossbowmen on the various ships who have not yet been used for the time being have also begun to pray to the gods they believe in, whether it is the sea god Niangniang, or Guanyin Bodhisattva, Taishang Laojun, and even the land lord and birthday star have been begged all over again, promising all kinds of benefits just to be able to escape a life, just now the fate of those East China Sea Islanders really frightened them, these sailors simply can't afford to have the courage to fight with the California sailors, only to pray for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas.
These people were taken by the Jiazhou Sailors who had just crushed the prestige of the East China Sea Daoyi fleet, and the desire to survive and the fear of the enemy made them burst out with greater strength than Zheng Feifeng's fleet, and Zheng Feicai's fleet caught up with and overtook them in a short time.
With the parallel kung fu of the two boats, Zheng Feicai also ran to the side of the boat and jumped up to Zheng Feifeng with an exaggerated gesture, making him speed up, but unfortunately their speed has exceeded the past, but it is still not comparable to Qian Hua's treasure ship, just for a while, the mast of the Jiazhou sailor also rose up from below the sea level, and he saw that they were getting closer and closer.
"Throw things away, throw away the ballast stones, weapons, food, and drinking water to me!" As a last resort, Zheng Feicai resorted to a last resort, wanting to speed up the movement by reducing the weight of the ship.
"The second master, if we lose the ballast stone, if we encounter wind and waves, we will die! Without weapons, the enemy surrounded us, and we waited for death. When the captain heard this, he hurriedly persuaded, "There is also food and drinking water, and now the nearest pier is three days away, without which we will not be able to survive even if we escape!" ”
"If we don't lose this, we're dead now!" Zheng Feicai grabbed his collar and scolded loudly, and after scolding, he also sobered up, "First lose all the ballast stones, then weapons, food... Half of the food is left first, and drinking water ... Don't worry about drinking water for now. "After all, drinking water is the most important thing at sea, people can last for a few days without eating, but if there is no drinking water, they will definitely not be able to stay on the shore.
Splashes continued to splash around Zheng Feicai's fleet, ballast stones, weapons, and grain fell into the water one after another, and the ships that had lost weight accelerated again, gradually throwing off Zheng Feifeng behind him.
Is it all so urgent? Zheng Feifeng couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this scene, but when he turned around and saw those treasure ships that were getting closer and closer, towering like mountains, he instantly understood Zheng Feicai's approach, and hurriedly ordered his fleet to follow their example and abandon all the heavy things that could be discarded.
It's a pity that neither praying to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens or reducing the weight of the ships can let them escape, Qian Hua's fleet is still constantly reducing the distance between the two sides, and what worries the Zheng brothers even more is that the Jiazhou sailors have begun to change their formation, and a group of smaller ships began to break away from the group, drawing an arc to block their way from the front, and judging from the speed of these small boats, it will not take long to catch up with them.
Do you want to break up and flee separately? Zheng Feifeng and Zheng Feicai thought at the same time, this move depends on luck to escape from a few ships, I don't know if I have such good luck? (To be continued.) )
