Chapter 913: Anchoring in Xiangtan is restless
Two days after leaving Dongting Lake, Hou Xiaohu sailed to Xiangtan County, Changsha Prefecture. In the past two days, Hou Xiaohu and the Tiger Roaring Gang in the same boat have experienced no less than 100 battles, and they are really tired. Therefore, after arriving in Xiangtan County, Hou Xiaohu ordered the big ship to dock at the large water and land wharf near Xiangshui in Xiangtan County, and sent some of the crew members out to buy some materials, and by the way, they should have a holiday.
As for Hou Xiaohu, he stayed on the big ship with the remaining Hu Xiaogang crew, after all, there were a lot of water thieves along the way, and he still had to guard against it.
Lying on the mast of the big ship, Hou Xiaohu held his head in his hands, enjoying the breeze on the river. This big ship is also one of the ten big ships given in batches when the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance supported the Tiger Roar Gang, the length of the ship is thirty zhang, and the height is more than ten zhang, and the outside is wrapped in a layer of painted iron, and the end is very strong.
Hou Xiaohu has always liked this kind of large and sturdy ship, which can not only fight as a main combat ship, but also be a transport ship for a large number of materials in the past day, and occasionally make a cameo appearance as a luxury large passenger ship, which can be used for multiple purposes in one fell swoop. Moreover, although this ship is large, with the help of the mechanism provided by the Five Merchants Alliance, only two boatmen need to operate at the same time to drive this ship to sail in rivers, lakes and seas at will. In fact, although the Tiger Roar Gang's fixed gang members on the ship often have thirty people, in fact, only three groups of people in shifts are enough to operate the ship, and the rest of the people are more of a guard.
Ten large ships, each crew is composed of thirty people, although the number is not too many, but with the crossbow arrows and other sharp weapons on the ship, it is also quite powerful.
Of course, the maintenance and maintenance of this big ship is also very expensive, but fortunately, the services provided by the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance to the Tiger Roar Gang are a full set, and when the Tiger Roar Gang is given these ten big ships and the weapons and equipment that are assembled, a group of professional technicians are also given, and they are also dispatched with the ship in shifts.
As for those consumable materials such as arrows and ammunition, these are things that Hu Xiaohu needs to help him solve, and Hou Xiaohu asked those crew members to go to Xiangtan County to buy, in addition to food, these weapon consumables.
"Hopefully, they'll be able to get those things smoothly. Hou Xiaohu was lying with his head in his hands, thinking about those things in his heart, and he didn't notice that along the Xiangshui River from north to south, a group of small boats were speeding towards this side like a group of arrows off the string.
On the deck of the stern of the big ship, the two Tiger Roar Gang boatmen were chatting, and the young boatman subconsciously glanced into the north in the distance, but the next moment his eyes widened and looked into the distance in disbelief, and at the same time asked the older boatman beside him: "Lao Liu! Look at the north! What is over there?!"
"I said shrimp, you guy, this Hunan water is nothing more than a boat, what can it be?" The old boatman named Lao Liu was leaning against the deck railing at the moment smoking a dry tobacco pouch, and when he heard this, he slowly replied to the young boatman named Shrimp.
"It's not Lao Liu, look at it!!Those don't look like ordinary boats!!" Shrimp pointed to the boats that were approaching quickly in the distance, and his tone was very urgent, as if he had seen something incredible.
"I really can't help you. I'll see—ah—" Lao Liu turned his head to look, but immediately his whole hands clutched the deck railing, his eyes full of incredulity.
I saw that on the river in the north, there were no less than 100 shuttle-type boats speeding towards this side, looking at the speed of those boats on the river, there was a feeling of a meteor hitting the earth.
"Shrimp, you go and notify the others to be alert!!I'll go and inform the helper!!" After all, Lao Liu was older and calmer, and immediately made the most effective arrangements for this moment.
And the shrimp immediately ran into the cabin to inform the others.
