Chapter 391: Pirates Found
After leaving Xianyang for more than two months, the soldiers were also like Ying Feiyu, and they were like arrows.
Those who miss their daughter-in-law miss their daughter-in-law, and those who miss their mothers miss their mothers, all of them are looking forward to it except sleeping, and if they have nothing to do, they will go to the deck and take a turn, hoping to see the land when they come out!
However, no matter how fast the steamer is, it can't run fast with a whole ship of loot!
"Little boy, little boy, there seems to be a situation ahead!"
Just halfway through the journey, Han Xin suddenly ran to Ying Feiyu's cabin to report.
"What's the situation?"
Ying Feiyu leaned on the bed to rest, and asked after stretching when she heard the sound.
"Spotted a couple of big ships, right in front of us!"
"A big ship? How big is it? ”
"It's not comparable to ours, but it's much bigger than the average boat!"
"Oh? Ben Gongzi is going to take a look? ”
In this era, the impression of the sea is terrifying, especially the deep sea.
Not to mention the bottomless water, the wind and waves alone are prohibitive!
Even if it is a fishing boat, it will only fish near the coast, and will never sail into the deep sea!
Ying Feiyu walked out of the cabin, took the telescope handed over by Zhang Liang, and looked straight ahead!
Sure enough, several sea boats were drifting directly in front of them, but they couldn't see the people on board clearly!
"Looking at the style, it shouldn't be a ship of the imperial court, but like a civilian cargo ship!"
After observing for a while, Ying Feiyu spoke.
"Yes, we think so too, but I don't know why they drove here, could it be that they lost their way?"
Zhang Liang nodded.
"Drive over and take a look!"
Ying Feiyu immediately gave an order.
Whatever he does, just go over and see!
The speed of the steamer was very fast, and in less than half an hour, the distance was closer, and with the use of telescopes, it was enough to see the people on the other ship.
"Little boy, look at what these people are wearing, how can you ...... How does it seem to be the Huns? ”
Han Xin twisted the telescope, adjusted the focus back and forth, and finally said suspiciously.
If it was inland, he would not hesitate to say that they were Huns.
But here is the sea, or the deep sea.
The Huns have always lived in the steppe, and there are no coastal tribes, so how can they appear at sea?
"Well, it's really the Huns!"
Ying Feiyu observed for a while and nodded firmly.
Several people on the ship were burly, dressed in leather clothes, with loose hair, very uninhibited, who else could it be if it wasn't the Huns?
……
"Boss, it's really not good, the speed of the ships behind is so fast, even if we break our arms, we can't outrun them!"
Inside the sea boat, several Huns were tired and panting, and said to the leader with a frightened face.
"It's bad, the Qin army must know something, so they sent troops to exterminate us!"
"What then? The ships of the Qin army are so big, a ship that hits us may be crushed! ”
The other people also looked flustered, looking up at the Great Qin flag hanging on the steamer.
"A few guys who don't have a chance, what are you panicking about? Our current identity is the envoy of the Huns, and we want to visit the nations! ”
The Huns, led by them, rebuked sharply.
Let them not be frightened and say everything that should be said and what should not be said!
Although they are Huns, they have been on this sea since a few years ago and have never returned to the Huns!
In addition to grazing, the Xiongnu are grazing, and the money is too slow, and they occasionally have to live a hungry life!
So they got together, went to the sea to beg for a living, and attacked the ships that came and went!
Whether it is the Kingdom of Chen, the Kingdom of Jizi or the Great Qin, there are not a few ships that have been robbed by them!
Burning, killing and looting are even more commonplace!
That's why they were so frightened when they saw a ship flying the flag of Great Qin!
"I really didn't expect that Daqin would be able to build such a big sea ship ...... now!"
When the leader saw the steamer, there was no trace of horror in his eyes, but a trace of greed, "Alas! Special mother, they just have too many ships, if there is only one, they have to grab it! ”
……
While the Huns were observing the Qin army, Ying Feiyu was also leading everyone to observe the situation on the other side.
As the distance is shortened, everything on board can be seen clearly with the naked eye!
"Little boy, they must not be good people!"
The admirals followed and watched for a moment, and a young man suddenly spoke.
"Oh? How do you know? ”
Xiao Zhengtai put down the binoculars and asked suspiciously.
They can only see that the other party is a Hun now, although it is a little strange to appear here, but it can't be concluded that they are bad people!
"Little boy, my subordinates don't dare to lie, the reason why my subordinates are familiar with water is because my subordinates are from Huiji County, and they have lived by the sea since they were children, so they are very familiar with water nature, so they can enter the navy! Before that, there was a wealthy merchant in Huiji County, when he went to Lingnan, he encountered gangsters at sea, not only all the goods were robbed, but even the people were killed......! ”
The young soldier pondered for a moment and continued: "According to my father, in order to show his identity, the rich merchant carved a fish with sharp teeth on the horns of his boats. ”
"At first, I thought I was wrong, but I didn't dare to confirm it after observing it for a long time!"
The admiral pointed to the corner of the opposing sea ship and said.
Hearing this, Fan Hao hurriedly snapped the telescope to his eyes and observed carefully, "Little boy, little boy, there are really fish with sharp teeth on these boats!" ”
"Hmm!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
Because he has also observed every ship, and indeed there are all of them!
In this way, these Huns should be pirates who hijacked the rich merchants of Huiji County!
"Since these people are not good birds, they can be destroyed directly, and they will not have to harm our merchant ships in Daqin, anyway, it will be a matter of incident!"
Peng Yue said very proudly.
The little boy can destroy the Chen Kingdom and the Kezi Kingdom by the way, and he definitely doesn't care about destroying these pirates by the way!
"Let the soldiers prepare!"
Ying Feiyu nodded and gave the order.
"Yes!"
When the artillerymen on deck heard this, they immediately ran back to the cabin and went to their positions.
……
"Old ...... Old...... Boss, it's not good, it's not good, the ships of the Qin army suddenly picked up speed and rushed towards us! ”
There was still some distance between them just now, but Qin Jun suddenly accelerated, causing several people on the boat to panic immediately.
Looking at this posture, there is no doubt that it is coming at them!
"Could it be that Qin Jun really discovered our identity?"
This time, even Kuramule, the boss of the ship, looked nervous.
"They have so many ships that they are huge, and if they collide at such speed, our ships will fall apart!"
"Hurry up and wave the flag, tell them that we are the envoys sent by the Huns, and then send them the national letter to check!"
Cangmule assigned tasks to everyone, while he quietly observed the Qin army.
"Haha! It's still the boss's brain, and I forgot about the national letter! ”
The subordinates knew each other, and immediately laughed, and their nervous expressions relaxed a lot.
