CCCXXII. Disaster
Through Ben's information, Li Shi had to know that Ringer had a giant ship, which was one of his dependencies to dominate the East China Sea.
There is no mistake in the logbook, and with the addition of Fumakqing, there are a total of sixteen ships here, and there is no yaw.
That can't be an island at all.
In the era when there was no radio communication, the ships in the fleet communicated mainly through the language of flags.
That is, each hand holds a striking flag, and although the principle is unknown, red and yellow are the most striking colors. The flag signal is made up of these two colors of the hand flag, under different gestures, express different meanings.
Li Si Ste didn't expect that before he returned to Heavenly Harbor, Doulinger would come to block him. Hurriedly conveyed the order, let the flag bearer on the ship wave the flag to the sail battleship, it was not an island, it was a mobile fortress, all left rudder to avoid detouring, and must not touch.
He himself was not idle, using his hands and feet, climbing the sail rope and looking through the telescope for the replies of other ships.
OK.
Taylor's men are all professionals, and the crew is also veteran sailors, who don't make low-level mistakes, and their lookout has spotted the signal, and the flag bearer over there has also sent back a flag message and is evading it.
Rao is like this, and Li's tense heart has not been put down. It's too far away, I don't know how big it is, but it's definitely a monster level, even if it's several times larger than the earth's aircraft carrier.
With such a large volume, the sailing speed must be very slow, and the sail must not be able to push that thing, Rao has hundreds of sails sideways, and it can only be used as an auxiliary power source, and the one that travels must be a magic crystal.
If that thing can catch itself, there will be a ghost, I don't know how much energy it will consume, and the engine will be wasted, which will not be possible.
It is only suitable for offshore landing warfare, and at sea it is a short leg that no one can catch up.
Look at the vibe is not right.
Wren took over the job of the sail chief, and just in case, Shady also temporarily assumed the duties of the ship's gun chief.
"You know what that is?"
Selene also climbed onto the cable net and grabbed it on the side of List, where the wind howled so violently that ordinary people could not stand on their feet at all, and she also used her free hand to look at the "Black Island" at the end of the horizon with a telescope.
Seeing Li Sieter's strange behavior, I couldn't help but think like this.
"It's a ship."
"Boat?"
"That's right, one of Doulinger's dependencies, if you face it head-on, it won't end well."
"I'll protect you back to Heaven."
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
The deck was full of wait, but it was as if there was something beneath the surface of the sea, and according to the observations of the navigators, with the current wind speed, there could be no such waves.
All of a sudden, whether it was Fumak Qing or the Grand Fleet led by sail battleships, the ships were all bumpy. This was not a normal shaking, it was close to the level of a sixth-level wind, and some of the new sailors were overturned to the ground, unable to stand at all without grasping anything.
Lister knew that kind of thing drove slowly.
Needless to say, the person in charge of "Poseidon" must know better than Li St.
A sail battleship can form a fleet, not to mention the "Poseidon"?
It's just that Doulinger's fleet is more than just ships.
More than ten years ago.
Doulinger killed a sea monster hundreds of meters in length with his fist, a huge thing that lives in the depths of the East China Sea and is rarely recorded, called the "Whale Eater Troll".
Very few people have ever seen that kind of monster, even if it is a juvenile, it is said to be more than ten meters long, and the one that Doulinger killed is the king of the giant demons.
It was as if the sea had been boiled hot and the vast sea was boiling, a strange sight that had never been seen before, and the people on the sixteen ships were under high martial law, but most of them were more like they were frightened and stupid.
The churning waves, as the waves lifted, began to jolt violently, swaying back and forth, and all at once the front half fell below the waterline, and at once they were thrown up again, and even the old seamen had already fallen on their backs.
Lister was also nearly thrown over the cable net, but he held on.
The ensuing scene was too surprising for the monster from the deep sea to make its official appearance.
The Poseidon moves very slowly, so it is needed to entangle Li Si Te and the others.
Inky tentacles thicker than three people tied together strangled out of the sea, each ten or twenty meters long, standing in the sky, and as a tentacle emerged, dozens or hundreds stretched out, slapping and twisting those patrol boats. Gullies were cut through the walls of the ship, and layers of cracked planks were reduced to debris, and the seafarers on them were whipped into a cloud of blood by the tentacles.
Doulinger didn't know what he could do, even the sea monster had to obey his orders, not even his own orders, but his subordinates.
The patrol ships of the three fleets had already been attacked, and there was no resistance at all in the face of that kind of monster.
There were also cannons on the patrol ships, and they all opened fire on the sea monsters with tentacle suction cups attached to the walls of the ships.
Pound! Pound! Pound!
The power of the twelve-pounder cannon was terrifying enough, and the smoke of gunpowder was steaming, tearing flesh and blood, and creating huge holes.
But the sea monster, an unintelligent beast, did not howl in pain at all, but went on a silent rampage, its tentacles continuing to entangle the ship, churning on it until the deck walls were completely broken.
Destroyed three patrol ships, the crew on it jumped into the sea, and some were directly eaten into the tentacles by the sea monsters, the suckers on the tentacles were not only suckers, but also wriggling fangs stacked in a vortex layer, and those crew members would rather jump into the sea than be eaten.
The tentacles were churning on the surface of the sea, and the sea monster with an unknown size, the tentacles alone were extremely huge, and they were piercing towards the sail battleship in the center, as well as Fumakqing, which was not swimming, but just rolling.
"Fuck you! Mom! ”
Wren panicked, because of the aftermath of the huge waves, the whole Fuma Keqing was still jolting, and he had only one thought, escape! The sea monster can't be allowed to get close to the ship under any circumstances.
Li Shi was also stunned by this battle for a moment, this scene was too amazing, in the face of the speed of the sailing ship I don't know how much faster, under the sun-exposed sea, a huge black shadow cruised, it seemed that no matter what kind of order was given, it was useless.
He suddenly lost his mind, as if he felt like he was a dead man.
Seven years ago.
On the day of the teacher's departure, there is the glory of death, but there is no disgrace of life.
Li Si Te jumped off the cable net and landed firmly on the ground, ready to make a decision.
"Artillery, I'll go below deck to control the artillery......"
A new sailor has been completely stupefied.
"The Holy Spirit is above...... Help me, help me, help me ......"
A new crew member prayed with his fingers crossed over his forehead, never so devout in his life.
Li Si Ter's expression was cold, as the captain, he couldn't show his timidity, if he was afraid, then he would send it completely.
"What to do? Do you want to fight? ”
Xia Di realized that even firing a cannon was useless, so she hurriedly came up from the deck and asked Li St, it's too scary for your mother.
"No ......"
Li Shi was extremely calm, took out his binoculars, and glanced at the position of the flag bearer of the sail battleship, Rao did not expect that Taylor's men were so convinced of him.
To be reasonable, they should have completely collapsed in this situation, but the standard-bearer over there was still at his post, although he looked terrified, but still waiting for his instructions.
Lister ordered the standard-bearers: "Tell them that we will scatter and withdraw, and that we will all be wiped out if we all lean in one heap, so that we can have a chance, at least some of the ships can escape." ”
After this order was given.
Lister knew that his main target was himself, and he couldn't run away until he killed the sea monster, which was moving much faster than a sailboat.
"This is the captain's order! Drive in the direction of that sea monster! ”
Li Si summoned the Sword of King's Landing.
