Chapter 106: Down to the South of the Yangtze River (2)

Zhuang Shaoyou's fleet set off from the north wharf of the city, went to the south of the Yangtze River, because it was summer at this time, the southeast wind was blowing, therefore, the fleet was going against the wind, the speed of travel was not fast, and it had been going south for eight days before it was about to arrive at the destination, the mouth of the Yangtze River.

On the night of July 28, Zhuang Shaoyou stood on the deck and watched the waves below, Zhou Tian was busy cleaning up the accounts in the cabin, making sales and purchasing plans, and Wu Liang and Ink had nothing to do with Zhuang Shaoyou to chat on the deck.

The stars were shining brightly in the night sky, and the Big Dipper was arranged on the starry sky, which was very dazzling, and suddenly a wave of hazy smoke began to fill the starry sky, and in an instant, the entire starry sky dimmed.

The three people standing on the deck were chatting and didn't pay attention, but the guards next to them suddenly shouted: "General! Look at the sky, why is it suddenly dark? ”

"You little rabbit, what are you calling for! I haven't punished you last time! You shit! The chief next to him scolded again, thinking that he was disturbing the general's speech again.

"What's the length, was it okay for me to shout in time last time? If it weren't for my sharp eyes, we would all be dead! ”

"Dog, dare to talk back, you shouted right last time, but it all depends on the decisive command of our general, and it has something to do with the kid? Think about good things all day long! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou heard the shout, subconsciously looked up at the sky, and saw the starry sky in the sky, and was immediately shocked, damn, trouble!

So he decisively shouted: "Ink!" A typhoon will pass through soon! Tell the fleet to get ready! ”

Ink a typhoon? What is Typhoon? Why is it so familiar! Yes! Come to think of it! When the ancestors of the Mo family went to the South Seas, it was recorded that the sea surface of the South China Sea would produce a divine wind in summer, and the wind speed was extremely high, which could sweep away houses and ships, and no matter how big the ship was, it would still capsize you!

Thinking of this, the ink shouted, "Someone! Ordered the fleet to carry out Emergency Plan No. 1!! As soon as the ink finished speaking, a huge torch was raised at the top of the big boat that Zhuang Shaoyou was riding, and then it was ignited, and the other ships in the surrounding fleet immediately discovered the signal. Seeing this, the commander of the other warship sighed: "Damn, activate the No. 1 emergency plan? Come! Hurry up and put away the sails! The manpower oars are running at full speed, and the bow of the ship is ready to move west! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at the starry sky in the sky with a solemn expression and asked, "Ink, the typhoon is coming from the southeast and going to the northwest, I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid it if we go west!" Let's go east! ”

As soon as Ink heard this, he immediately gave the order to the messenger: "Order the fleet, turn around urgently, and go east at full speed!" ”

Soon, Zhuang Shaoyou's flagship was instantly, two torches were lit up at the highest point of the ship, and three gongs sounded, the size of the torch was much smaller than the big torch just now, and the gongs shook for several miles.

It turned out that since the last time Zhuang Shaoyou proposed to formulate a flag to command the fleet, the ink drew inferences from one another, and improved the design of a set of flags during the day and a set of torches and gongs and drums at night.

At night, the torch represents the direction, one to the east, two to the west, three to the north, four to the south, a large torch is the No. 1 emergency plan, indicating a storm warning, the fleet urgently retracts the sails and docks with all its might. The sound of gongs represents retreat, one sound represents retreat, two sounds indicate accelerated retreat, three sounds indicate urgent full-speed retreat, and drums represent advance.

A quarter of an hour later, the fleet basically completed the U-turn plan and began to move at full speed to the east, with all the manpower oars fully opened, but the merchant ships were not so lucky, but Zhuang Shaoyou was on a four-masted merchant ship, because the merchant ships were much more stable and less bumpy than the warships, so the merchant ships could only rely on the agitation of the sails.

After receiving the signal, those warships fled for a while, but they all found that something was wrong, General Zhuang was still behind, if he ran away, what would General Zhuang do? So they all slowed down and waited for the merchant ships behind.

At this time, a huge sea breeze has begun to blow from the southwest, and in an instant, the waves began to bumpy, Zhuang Shaoyou was in a hurry, this is trouble, if this fleet is overturned by the typhoon, then the vitality will be greatly damaged!

"Ink! Pass my orders! Let the three warships retreat to the east at full speed, and the violators will be engaged in military law! If you can run out, one is one! Lao Tzu's life is big, and he can't die! Let those merchant ships throw away all the heavy goods to Lao Tzu! ”

"General, you can't throw it! Without some cargo ballast, the ship is easier to capsize! Listening to Zhuang Shaoyou's roar, Ink was quite calm, while explaining to him, he ordered the gong and drum to be sounded again, and ordered the three warships to retreat, several times in a row, those warships hesitated again and again, and finally someone took the lead in accelerating eastward, and the other two ships no longer insisted when they saw this, and drove eastward, and there was no shadow in less than a quarter of an hour.

The three merchant ships were in solidarity, swaying in the wind and waves, and everyone was praying, drifting with the waves.

Two hours later, the wind on the sea became stronger and stronger, and the waves were higher and higher, constantly beating on the hull, and the people on the boat were not very steady, and soon the rain began to fall in the sky again, and the rain increased instantly, and everyone hid in the cabin, nervously watching the storm outside.

In life, we must always be in awe of nature!

It was originally a huge four-masted merchant ship, but it seemed so small in this rough sea, as if it would capsize at any time, Zhuang Shaoyou calmed down and began to think about ways to escape, if it goes on like this, it will definitely capsize, and none of them can escape!

But I couldn't think of anything for a long time.

After a long time, the sky gradually glowed with faint light, but the sky on the sea was still dark, and the waves were getting bigger and bigger.

Zhuang Shaoyou is also full of despair, no! No, although I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that these hundreds of people will die because of me! No way! They believe in me and follow me, and I will never let them die with me!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Shaoyou got up angrily, pulled out the Qiankun Sun and Moon Sword on his body, rushed out of the cabin with one hand, and headed towards the deck.

"General!" The ink and the soldiers in the cabin were in a hurry, what was the general going to do?

Zhuang Shaoyou did not look back, but went in the direction of the big waves, jumped up angrily, raised the Qiankun Sun and Moon Sword with both hands, and was infinitely firm in his heart, in front of this monstrous wave, an indomitable momentum suddenly surged, and everyone in the cabin suddenly followed the excitement, everyone firmly believed that the general he would definitely have a way to please the predicament in front of him!

"Since you let you die, then you don't want to live! Lao Tzu fought with you! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou roared angrily, the Qiankun Sun and Moon Sword was raised high above his head, and slashed towards the huge waves, at this time, the dark starry sky in the sky The Big Dipper instantly brightened, shooting out a golden light downward, and the book of heaven on Zhuang Shaoyou's body also instantly emitted a golden light, and the two golden lights were injected into the Qiankun Sun and Moon Sword, making the sword suddenly flourish.

"Slash!"

The huge waves crashed against the big ship a moment ago, and the huge and dazzling sword slashed into two parts, and fell weakly towards the sides of the ship, and the splash almost overturned the ship.

Zhuang Shaoyou's ship was basically fine, but the people on board were shaken by the afterwave, but the situation of the other two merchant ships was much worse, although the huge waves did not rush towards them, but the impact suffered was not small, one merchant ship hull cracked, began to leak, the speed of the ship became slower and slower, the mast at the stern of the other ship was broken, the rear deck was shattered, and the four catapults on it were even more unrecognizable.

The waves near the fleet gradually subsided, no longer so penetrating, but the sea in the distance was still choppy, but this one was like a paradise, as if the waves were deliberately avoiding it, which was incomprehensible.

Zhuang Shaoyou's blow just now used up all his strength, and now he was exhausted and fainted on the deck, and the people in the cabin hurriedly rushed out to carry him in.

The sky returned to dimness, and the Qiankun Sun and Moon Sword and the Book of Heaven in his arms also lost their former crystal luster, but no one paid attention to all this.

Zhongnan Mountain sighed: "Apprentice, this is the last time the teacher will help you!" ”
