Liu Shimin held a short bow in his hand, stepped on the blood on the deck, and walked out of the corner some distance from the ruins of the watchtower, appearing in the bright lights.

He only had a middle coat and pants on him, and the original heavy and warm brocade robe had become powder in the luring of the enemy's cannons.

At this moment, this court official, who has always given the impression of being humane and polite, is no different from the fighters on the deck with agile postures and hideous faces.

Liu Shimin jumped onto the stake of the tether without saying a word, and pointed at Cai Feng's front door, another arrow.

With Cai Feng's screams sounding again, the sergeants patrolling the sea seemed to have been blown up and made a mess on the side of the ship.

The man who operated the gun lost his gun and tried to pick up the bow and missed the return shot.

Cai Feng's two pawns drove their master to find cover, and at the same time shouted to the other partners to cut the grappling hook, so that the ship could break away from the seal and let the helmsman quickly turn and escape.

However, the grappling hooks used by Li Guozhu and his men were all iron chains, not hemp ropes made by ordinary fishermen, and they were cut off in a moment, but another sailor patrolling the sea was shot by Liu Gonggong's arrow.

Li Guozhu roared: "Brothers who patrol the sea road, can't you see it? At this time, if you make a mistake, you will die, do it with me! Avenge your Master Cai, Lao Tzu's wealth also has a large share of you. ”

More than a dozen men of the Cai family who patrolled the sea road, seeing that the matter had come to this point, wanted to save their lives first and seek wealth, so they mentioned holding swords, jumped over the boat gang, and joined Li Guozhu's camp.

On the side of the ship, the battle was about to be decided.

The Spaniards, who had received information from the Chinese conspirators, had less than ten men on board the prey ship, and a small number of cold weapons, and the only firearms were the troublesome turtledove-footed guns.

This was not the case at all, for the opponent was not only twice as numerous and not weaker than the muskets, but also had a particularly brave spear general, with his spear soldiers, who stabbed and stabbed several people across the side of the ship as soon as he came up.

When the Spaniards finally jumped over, these Chinese, who were good at spears, were trained to switch to waist knives and engage in close combat with the Spaniards armed with swords.

What's even more terrifying is that the Chinese captain who killed many Spaniards in Luzon, Yan, although his sword skills are different from those of the spear general, but he is as fast as lightning like the samurai of Hirado, Japan, and he is much taller than those Japanese samurai, and he can completely look at the size of the Spaniards, so when he dances his sword and attacks, it is like an evil dragon flying from hell.

There are more and more Spaniards screaming and falling in pools of blood.

Yan Siqi looked at the six roads, and after a little judgment, he yelled at Ma Xianglin not far away, "Leave it to Brother Ma here, Yan will take care of that beast", and then took a big stride and went straight to Li Guozhu to kill.

On the side of the ship, Liu Shimin dodged a knife from the sailors of the sea patrol road, and shouted to Zheng Haizhu, who was standing behind Zheng Zhilong: "Silly girl, give the knife to our family, why don't you go to General Ma's side to hide, and the pestle is here to find death?" ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Haizhu suddenly take a step sideways, his head lowered, and the cold light on his chest also fell, and then he heard someone wailing in front of Zheng Zhilong, and was stabbed into the stomach by Zheng Haizhu's Muramasa knife.

Liu Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out that this girl was not scared stupid, but was in an ambush just like she was in the cable just now.

It's no fun to fight hard, and you can make it twice by sneak attack, which can be regarded as shit luck.

But the rookie who handed over the shit luck is still a rookie after all, and Zheng Haizhu didn't know how to draw the knife.

The sailors of the sea patrol fell backwards with their swords, and Zheng Haizhu became defenseless at the moment.

Fortunately, Yan Siqi had already arrived, helped her block a knife from another sailor, retracted his arms, knocked her farther away, and then pulled out the Muramasa knife, holding a double knife, swinging left and right to poke, doubling his combat power.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Siqi killed three or four sailors who were besieging him, rushed to Zheng Zhilong, who was already hanging colors, and saw a flaw in Li Guozhu's move, shouted "One official closes the momentum and retreats", his right leg flew up, and kicked Li Guozhu's exposed left rib.

Li Guozhu took off the knife, fell to the ground with a "ah", Yan Siqi stepped on his shoulder blade with one foot, and when the tip of the knife was stabbing him in the back of the heart, he woke up reluctantly, and only leaned over and pulled out his right hand that was pressed on his chest.

An even more terrible scream sounded, and when the blade passed, Li Guozhu's fingers were cut off by Qi Gen.

"Your father has a life-saving grace for me, I won't kill you today, even if I return this kindness!"

When the fire was extinguished, Yan Siqi gritted his teeth and said.

……

The daylight in the East China Sea starts very early.

In front of Zheng Haizhu's eyes is a red world.

The red glow on the horizon, the red flag overhead, the blood flowing like paint all over the deck, the red clothes wrapped in the corpses of the Spaniards.

and ten feet away, their galleon, which was already blazing.

Fang Cai, Yan Siqi and Ma Xianglin, after clearing the battlefield of the sealed boat, before the Spanish sailboat was about to flee, they coincidentally led people to jump over and continue to slash, so as not to fire again to bombard the sealed boat after the enemy extended the distance.

The Spanish captain, who was at the end of his rope, set fire to the ship on the lookout, and would rather be reduced to ashes with the ship than let these yellow-skinned men take the ship and tarnish the glorious name of the Armada.

The Chinese warriors had no choice but to return to Fengzhou, but all the bamboo sails of Fengzhou had been broken by artillery fire.

The crowd then pressed the helmsman of Li Guozhu and the sailors who had been left as witnesses, took the bodies of their teammates who had died in battle, and gathered on the ship of the cruiser.

Liu Shimin turned to Zheng Haizhu: "Girl, I can't see it, you can use a knife." ”

"It wouldn't have been, but when I wanted to save my life, it would."

Zheng Haizhu replied tiredly with the trance of the rest of her life.

But her complexion quickly changed.

Yan Siqi called "Ah Zhu, are you okay" and walked towards her, but when he was close to Chi Qi, he reluctantly drew his knife and put it on Liu Shimin's neck.

"Let the helmsman go north, Lao Tzu is going to Daishan Island."

Ma Xianglin, who was checking on his dead and wounded brother, jumped to his feet.

"Go back to Moon Harbor first!"

Ma Xianglin's face was like frost, and he spit out four short words.

After fighting the enemy side by side at night, although he admired Yan Siqi's good kung fu, and also knew that the reason why the other party caused the disaster of killing, it was in Luzon to save the Han people, but at this moment, he saw the death of three stone soldiers who had been following him, one of them was still incomplete, and his mood was already very sad and depressed.

Yan Siqi stared at Ma Xianglin: "General Ma, this time, Yan is ashamed of you." My own cargo ship is missing, and when it arrives in Daishan, I will definitely give you a lot of money. But right now, I can't venture with my brother to Fujian. ”

Ma Xianglin said calmly: "Gonggong Liu just said, I will let you go when you get to Yuegang." If you don't believe us, why should we believe you? ”

Yan Siqi sneered: "Then I'll kill my father-in-law now, and then we'll fight again." ”

"Hahahaha," on the deck on the side, Li Guozhu, who was tied into a dumpling, mocked, "Yan Siqi, you are embarrassed to scold Lao Tzu for being treacherous and cunning, and people do not destroy the virtue of heaven and earth for themselves, aren't you the same as Lao Tzu with this little white face?" ”

"Shut up!"

Zheng Zhilong stepped forward and stuffed a ball of rags into Li Guozhu's mouth, and said as he stuffed it: "Big brother should have cut your tongue just now." ”

"Don't even make any noise."

Zheng Haizhu's voice rang out.

She pointed to the abandoned sealed boat a few feet away, and said solemnly: "Didn't you notice that the side of the ship on the sea patrol seems to be lower than that of the sealed boat?" ”

After a moment of silence, Yan Siqi, who knew the sea ship best, said directly to one of his subordinates: "Go to the bilge and have a look." ”

The subordinates got the order, and after a while, they went back and forth, showing fear on their faces: "Big brother, every cabin is flooded, probably up to the knees." ”

When Zheng Haizhu heard this, he turned to the sailor surnamed Cai who was kept to do work, and asked, "How long have you been fighting on this boat?" ”

The sailor replied, "It was only last year." ”

Zheng Haizhu asked: "Isn't it a watertight compartment that Wen Ma Wuhui can play?" ”

Wenma is the name of the place that appeared in Fujian during the Three Kingdoms, and the people here are very good at shipbuilding, and know how to mix quicklime, hemp grass and tung oil in a specific proportion to fill the gaps in the wooden planks and prevent the hull from leaking.

At the same time, during the Wenma shipbuilding period, the bilge of the ship was often divided into five parts, each of which was closely separated, so that in case one of them entered the water and the other were temporarily intact, the ship could even complete a long voyage and return to shore safely.

Later, the ship became bigger and bigger, and there were even more than a dozen compartments, but connoisseurs are still accustomed to calling this shipbuilding method "Wen Ma Wuhui", which is also one of the most famous intangible cultural heritage in China.

Zheng Haizhu has come into contact with many shipwrights in Zhangzhou, Songjiang, and Taicang, and naturally learned about the watertight compartment method of Wenma Wuhui from these respectable ancient craftsmen.

The sailor on the sea patrol road was stunned, but he didn't expect this woman to know how to build ships, so he rolled his eyes, and said: "The money allocated to us by the imperial court to buy a ship is not enough, and I think it should be that the shipwright cut corners, so a warehouse is flooded, and a warehouse is flooded." Heroes, if the water is only two feet submerged, it should still be too late, and if you go north to Penghu Port, if you are delayed, ......"

Ma Xianglin interrupted him: "Is there a imperial garrison in Penghu Port?" ”

"Yes, yes," the sailor said, "General, after Cai Patrol Guard drove away the Hongyi people last year, please play the imperial court to change the "Xun Shou" to the garrison, there must be someone." ”

Zheng Haizhu stared at the placket of the sailor's clothes.

The sailor had been guarding the rudder of the ship before, and had not participated in the fierce battle, and his body was refreshing, and a sachet-like thing dangled from the placket of his clothes.

Zheng Haizhu stepped forward, pulled down the sachet, and put it under his nose.

The strong smell of lavender was the same as what I smelled on Cai Feng's robe that day.

Zheng Haizhu asked him coldly: "This is a Frankie thing?" ”

The sailor let out an "ah" and nodded.

"I can't listen to him," Zheng Haizhu's gaze abandoned Yan Siqi and Ma Xianglin, and turned to Gonggong Liu, "Patrol Cai has long had an affair with the Franky people in Luzon, so he either beat or chased the red hair, although the red hair fan is not a good thing." This person said that there were defenders in Penghu, but he didn't know that it was not their Cai family's cronies, and there might even be Francis? Otherwise, tonight hit our Frankie boat, where to get the water? ”

When Liu Shimin heard this, there was a complicated look in his eyes.

This girl is really suspicious, but she is suspicious and reasonable.

The sailor was really timid, and only lowered his head and muttered, "How can the leaky ship sail back to Moon Harbor?" ”

But listening to Liu Shimin's calm tone, he said to Yan Siqi who was tightly bound to him: "Yan Zhuangshi, the old man will give you a road, and also give us all a way, let's take the boat and drive to the nearby island where there are no imperial court defenders, how about it?" ”

Yan Siqi asked in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, what are you talking about, going to Taiwan?" ”
