Chapter 65: Front-and-back strikes

Under Chen Jiao's unconcealed teaching, Han Xiao grew from a complete idiot crew member to a slightly idiot crew member in only three days. The more he talked to Chen Jiao, the more surprised Han Xiao became, it turned out that there were so many things to say about sailing on the sea, and he still underestimated the matter of going to sea in the past.

"Han Xiao, do you know where your third uncle might be?" After letting the Yanfeng start sailing on its own, Chen Jiao once again returned to normal and asked Han Xiao.

Hearing this, Han Xiao, who had been studying navigation knowledge hard, frowned even deeper, and after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head helplessly and said: "I don't know, the krakens are rampant in the Andi Sea now, and it is estimated that even those so-called seventy-two pirate captains will no longer be able to grasp the news here, how can I know where my third uncle is?"

Chen Jiao can understand Han Xiao's statement very well, if you want to find someone in such a vast sea area, it is not said that there is no accurate information, even if you have accurate information, it is difficult to determine whether you can find it. Chen Jiao thought for a while and asked again, "Then do you know where your third uncle was stationed before?"

"Ah, the sea of Andi. Han Xiao said naturally.

Chen Jiao resisted the urge to kill, and said viciously: "I'm asking you, do you know which island Uncle Yanfeng is stationed on. You must know that although the Andi Sea Area was jointly fought by your Han family and the Chen family, after all, your Han family is dominant, and then you have always guarded the Andi Sea area, so the specific situation here is not clear to us outsiders. ”

Han Xiao pinched his chin and thought about it very seriously, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said with a wry smile: "But I don't know the situation here, my third uncle treats me better, but he doesn't have the habit of reporting things to me, and sometimes I don't know as many outsiders." ”

"Then you should have at least heard him say some special place names once in a while. ”

Han Xiao scratched his head again, scratched and scratched, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and immediately said: "I seem to have heard my third uncle say that a place seems to be called Tianpeng Mountain, and it seems to be called Tianping Mountain, at that time, he just casually said that there may be something strange on that mountain, and I just listened casually, at that time, I never thought that one day I would really have the opportunity to go to sea." ”

"Tianpeng Mountain?Tianping Mountain?" Chen Jiao frowned and thought about it, and finally could only shake her head helplessly, she had never heard of these two places, and after shaking her head, Chen Jiao said: "In this way, we really have to continue to sail without direction." But it's not like there are no clues, for the time being, let's first find out which island Tianpeng Mountain or Tianping Mountain is on. ”

"Island, we're looking for a mountain, aren't we?" Han Xiao asked suspiciously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately hid his face and fled. This is the open sea, not the kind of continent of Tianning country, no matter what kind of mountain, it must need a piece of land to carry it, in the Andi sea, large pieces of land are rare, rather than calling it a continent, it is more accurate to say that it is an island.

While the two were talking, Zhao Gangdan's voice suddenly came out of a transmission bead: "There is an enemy." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jiao's face immediately changed, and she glanced at Han Xiao complainingly, as if it was because of Han Xiao that she failed to find the enemy before Zhao Gangdan. After Chen Jiao began to take full control of the Yanfeng, she quickly said calmly: "It's a pirate ship." ”

"Pirates?" Han Xiao was surprised: "How can it be a pirate?"

"Why shouldn't it be a pirate?" Chen Jiao asked rhetorically.

"Although the Andi Sea is now our place of trial, no matter what happens to us here, the Imperial Navy may not interfere, but after all, this is the Imperial Navy controlling the situation, how can they allow pirates to haunt here?" Han Xiao said with a very reasonable analysis.

"Maybe that's part of the trial. Chen Jiao said lightly, then glanced at Han Xiao and ordered: "Captain, if you really feel that there is nothing to do, then try to find a way to contribute some value to the Yanfeng." It dawned on me that there was a position on the ship that seemed to suit you well. ”

"What position, let's hear it. Han Xiao asked excitedly, he had always wanted to make a difference on the Yanfeng, but unfortunately there had been no good opportunities.

Chen Jiao said very calmly: "I feel that you are very suitable to be a lookout. Chen Jiao pointed to the top and said in detail: "At the top of the mast, there is a lookout, your eyes are very good, standing on it should be easy to report the enemy situation to us." ”

Han Xiao's face was pale, but in the end, he could only shake his head and leave quite helplessly, and finally really walked up to the deck and climbed to the lookout on the mast. Although Chen Jiao didn't recognize her six relatives when she was in charge of the boat, it was precisely because of this that Han Xiao told the truth until she said it. In such a situation, the captain of himself is indeed the most useless one.

In the past few days of sailing, Zhao Gangdan did not know anything about the spirit cannon from the beginning, and quickly grew into a qualified gunner, his growth speed shocked Chen Jiao and Bai Yiquan, especially Bai Yi, she has not studied the spirit cannon for a long time, but she has really put a lot of effort into penance, she knows how long it takes for a person who knows nothing in this area to reach such a Cheng dΓΉ as Zhao Gangdan, so naturally she admires Zhao Gangdan even more.

In contrast, Han Xiao's situation was even more embarrassing, he didn't try to learn to control the spirit cannon, but it turned out that a very simple thing in the eyes of Bai Yi and Zhao Gangdan seemed like a big challenge to Han Xiao, Chen Jiao was even more sad and left directly after seeing Han Xiao's miserable expression. Chen Jiao is certainly not a top gunner, but the spirit cannon is really like a toy to her, she can't create a spirit cannon like the guardianship of the Imperial Navy, but she can transform the control weapon on the spirit cannon. It is precisely because of this that Chen Jiao is particularly incomprehensible how stupid Han Xiao is, so stupid that he can't even learn to control such a magic weapon.

Regarding his talent, Han Xiao was used to receiving all kinds of fancy blows, and even in his opinion, if he could control the spirit cannon and learn it immediately, he would scare himself. After ascending the lookout, the only comfort Han Xiao received was that at least the lowest-level magic weapon such as the lookout scope on the lookout platform, he could still master it immediately without being taught by others.

When Han Xiao saw the situation in the distance through the lookout glass, all the strange thoughts that had been messed up before were gone, and only surprise and nervousness were replaced by them.

"How can there be so many ships?" Han Xiao subconsciously muttered to himself.

Through the lookout glass, Han Xiao saw that there were five pirate ships that were now chasing towards them, and the scale of the five pirate ships was not small, at least much larger than their Yanfeng, but now Han Xiao also had his own understanding, and he quickly judged that there were some pirate ships that looked very big, and the real value should not be as good as their guardianship.

From Chen Jiao, Han Xiao had also learned that the Huating Empire had really invested a lot of money in order to let the young monks of Tianning Kingdom come out for training this time, so as to recruit truly elite monks for future training to become the mainstay of the imperial navy. Ten guardianships alone have been put in, and all the guardianships are equipped with sophisticated spirit cannons, and the hull has also undergone a layer of reinforcement refining, such a guardianship is impossible to buy in ordinary shops, and it can only be obtained by special customization, and its value has been as high as hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.

If the monks of the trial can successfully snatch such a ship and gather enough crew, there should not be much of a problem. In fact, this trial looks like it needs to confront the Kraken and go through many risks, but in Han Xiao's opinion, the biggest risk is when he just landed on the trial island and snatched the guardianship. If you can survive that kind of melee, you have a chance to survive the naval battle that follows.

However, no matter how good the warship is, it is afraid of encountering strong winds and waves, and it is even more afraid of encountering great pirates, although the pirate ship that is chasing after the Hikkaze seems to be just a group of rabble, but I can also figure it out that once it is caught up by these five pirate ships, it will really be impossible to escape.

"These broken ships shouldn't be able to catch up with us. Han Xiao thought cautiously, now he didn't want to let his Yanfeng fall into a bitter battle, not to mention the most important thing is that the Yanfeng is now in a state of severe shortage of people, if there is really a war, it is really difficult to count on them to have a good situation.

It's just that just when Han Xiao was thinking about this, he faintly felt that there seemed to be another enemy on the lookout, Han Xiao immediately turned the lookout to look ahead of them, and then he was not disappointed to see other situations. However, to Han Xiao's surprise, what he saw this time turned out to be a guardianship.

"Did you meet your own person?" Han Xiao frowned, and his mind began to spin rapidly.

When he encountered the guardianship, he was even more nervous than when he saw the pirate ship, after all, the pirate ship behind him was just a few warships that should be transformed from cargo ships, and they could not be compared with the guardianship in terms of speed and combat power, but the guardianship was completely different, and the guardianship that would appear in the Andi Sea at this time should be the monk who came to participate in the trial. Han Xiao also knew that it was impossible for them to be the only ones who grabbed the ship, a lot of time had passed, and now the guardian ships on each trial island should have their own owners, and they had all begun to go to sea separately.

But the problem is that the monks on the guardianship may all be Tianning Kingdom monks, but they are actually in competition with each other. The number of enemies killed by each other, and even the number of opponents killed, is the most important basis, and once you encounter a guardianship at this time, you need to distinguish whether it is a partner or an enemy you are encountering. Another point is that the speed of the guardianship is not slow, if the guardianship that appeared in Han Xiao's sight now wants to pursue them with all its might, it will really have a chance to catch up.

Just when Han Xiao was in a moment of hesitation, he found that there was actually a pirate ship behind the guardian ship, but although their enemies were not numerous, they seemed to be very strong from a distance. The scale of the pirate ship chasing the guardian ship in the distance is almost equal to the scale of the Shenwei ship of the Huating Imperial Navy, and the group that can have such a pirate ship will naturally have to be extremely strong, otherwise, if you want to sail with such a warship in the pure world of the jungle in the Andi Sea, it will definitely be impossible to achieve it without strong enough strength.

It's just that at this time, Han Xiao became as if he only had the guardianship in his eyes, and he didn't care much about the huge pirate ship anymore, and he didn't even care much about the five pirate ships chasing after them. But just as Han Xiao was paying attention to the guardianship, an unexpected situation happened.

Behind the five pirate ships that had been chasing behind the Hikikaze, the cannon roared one after another, and soon the five pirate ships stopped, and it seemed that they were starting a big battle with the enemy that appeared behind them.

Han Xiao completely gave up the idea of joking, quickly got off the mast and rushed into the cabin, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "What the hell is going on, can you see it?"

"It's supposed to be the pirates behind you who are under attack. Chen Jiao said calmly, and then looked at Han Xiao: "You can't see clearly what the situation is on the lookout, and it is even more impossible to detect the situation in the distance by relying on the mirror disk alone." ”

"Then what's next?" Han Xiao asked.

Chen Jiao thought about it, didn't make a decision, but returned the problem to Han Xiao: "What do you want to do?"

"I think?" Han Xiao was stunned, and the mirror disk could now see the situation of the five pirate ships in the rear, and the approaching guardian ship and the huge pirate ship in front of him were also gradually approaching. While they were talking, the Yanfeng was always in a state of stopping, after all, there were enemies appearing in front and behind, and Han Xiao and they didn't plan to go left and right, but they really didn't have a chance.

In such a situation, you can only move forward and be the back leg, otherwise you will definitely be caught up if you choose to go around the corner. Although Han Xiao didn't know much about navigation, he understood what danger was all about. Seeing their current situation, listening to the sound of Zhao Gangdan shouting to fight from the sound transmission beads, Han Xiao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally pointed to the rear and said, "Let's go back and go to war." ”

"Good. Hearing Han Xiao's order, Chen Jiao didn't want to nod directly, and then controlled the Yanfeng to quickly turn around and rush towards the battlefield behind.

Chen Jiao's reaction made Han Xiao feel a little surprised, after all, he actually just wanted to put forward an opinion, and then see what Chen Jiao's plan was, but he didn't expect Chen Jiao to be a mess, and he didn't even have any doubts and directly implemented according to his own words. Seeing that Chen Jiao was engrossed in controlling the Yanfeng, Han Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, there was such a first mate on the Yanfeng, I really didn't know if it was a happy event or a sad event.

But the matter has come to this, Han Xiao is too lazy to regret it, not to mention that at this time, there is no chance to regret it again, once Chen Jiao executes the order, it is absolutely resolute, although it is a leeward ride, Han Xiao is only stunned by the kung fu and their Yanfeng has already entered the battle group. As a result, at the moment when he rushed into the battle group, Han Xiaotong couldn't help frowning after seeing the situation in the battlefield.

"Why is it another guardianship?" Han Xiao said with a puzzled expression.

Afraid that he would be mistaken, he checked the situation in the other direction again, and then really saw the guardianship in the distance and the huge pirate ship behind him, and when he looked back, Han Xiao could already confirm that this was the third guardianship he had encountered, and the second one he encountered today.

What Han Xiao couldn't understand was why there were so many warships here, whether it was a pirate ship or a guardianship, they might look different, but they were all capable of galloping across the sea. Han Xiao even subconsciously wondered if there was some mysterious treasure or something like this, otherwise how could it attract so many warships.

After rushing into the battle group of the five pirate ships and one guardian ship, before Han Xiao could give the order, two of the five pirate ships had already split up to deal with them. Obviously, for these islands, the guardian ships that look almost identical in appearance are of course one family, and at this time, Han Xiao and they are not considered to have suffered an unwarranted disaster, after all, Han Xiao decided to rush into this place at that time, that is, he was ready to fight these five pirate ships.

At that time, it was not because he knew that there was another guardianship here, but when he encountered enemies in front and behind, he chose to pick a soft persimmon at a critical moment. That huge pirate ship was a headache just to look at, and Han Xiao didn't want to have any contact with such a behemoth.

However, the so-called soft persimmon was only compared to the huge pirate ship, and when the spirit cannon holes of two pirate ships were aimed at the Yanfeng at the same time, even though it was only through the mirror disk, Han Xiao still felt a chill in his back.

As a result, before Han Xiao could react, a spirit cannon of the Yanfeng had already fired. The sudden change made Chen Jiao couldn't help frowning, and immediately roared angrily and grabbed the sound bead and shouted, "Which bastard fired the cannon!"

There was no immediate sound of a reply coming from the gun bay, but another cannon soon came back. Han Xiao subconsciously looked at the mirror disk, and then saw two huge waves rising next to the two pirate ships, and at a glance, he knew that the two cannons had missed.

Seeing such an effect, he didn't need to ask anymore to know that it was Zhao Gangdan, the guy with the tide of hands, who had already fired the cannon without listening to the order.

Chen Jiao shouted angrily: "If you want to make a move, give me the right time!"

Han Xiao was no longer of any use until this time, and he was depressed for a while, and he subconsciously began to walk to the deck. Maybe there will really be a desperate guy who wants to go on the ship for melee combat, this is the only self-consoling thought that Han Xiao has now.

Who would have thought that such an idea would come true at the same time.
