Chapter 287: Pounce
Peng San listened to Song Sichen's words, but smiled "hehe" and said, "Don't worry about this, I have my own way, you just have to do what I tell you!"
More than 20 masters were summoned back to the deck from the bilge, each meditating and resting.
The time is near, the night sky is bright and the stars are sparse, and the waves on the sea are sparse, but it is a deep blue color. The "Whitebird" was only about three miles away from the corsair, and it was almost within the range of artillery. The closest loach ship flashed with fire, and began to fire a salvo of cannons, and the shells fell into the sea a few feet behind the "White Oriole", and the situation was very dangerous.
Peng San said: "Steward Song, you have a white flag on this ship, quickly ask someone to raise the white flag and surrender, and they won't fire any more cannons!"
Before Song Sichen could answer, the Zhengde Daoist on the side couldn't help but shout: "At this time, how can you surrender!
He was so angry that he was about to attack, Nangong Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Dao Chang is angry, Mr. Peng San wants to fly the white flag, I think it's just a trick to surrender, and I want to lure the pirate ship over, and we can fight in a short fight, right?"
Peng San pursed his mouth and said, "Of course, such an obvious thing is not obvious to a fool!"
When Daoist Zhengde heard Peng San's words, he was even more furious, if he hadn't had Nangong Qi to hold him hard, he would have stretched out his sword and killed this vulgar man.
Song Sichen instructed his subordinates to do what Peng San said, and said: "Although we surrendered with a white flag, the pirates of the 'Blue Shark Regiment' are very vicious, but I am afraid that they will still open fire." ”
Peng San said: "What you said is right, but if we sail the boat to the direction of the headwind and stop, most of them will not fight again." ”
As he spoke, he turned the rudder with both hands, and shouted again: "Luo Zhong, get off the sail!"
The main driving force of a large sailing ship like the "White Oriole" is the sail hanging on the mast, and the wooden oars are only an auxiliary, once it turns to the upwind position, it loses power and it is difficult to move. And after the ship stops, even if you want to turn and set sail, because there is no wind to borrow, it is not possible to do it in a moment.
Therefore, stopping the ship in the direction of the headwind is equivalent to making the sailboat completely lose the ability to move, and the purpose of the pirate ship's cannon is to damage the sailboat, so that it cannot move and escape, so that it can board the ship and plunder, not to sink the ship, and now the "White Oriole" not only waved the white flag to surrender, but also stopped the ship in the position of the headwind, and they no longer need to open fire.
It's just that the other side has three loach ships, and there is a large ship behind it, even if the people on the "White Oriole" can take down the approaching loach ship in one fell swoop by virtue of their martial arts, but the other pirate ships find that the situation is not right, and they will definitely attack with cannons, and at that time the "White Oriole" will still be unable to escape the fate of being sunk into the sea.
Peng San didn't seem to have taken into account such a danger.
Song Sichen couldn't help but ask, "Once we attack the loach ship, how can we escape the attack of other pirate ships?"
Peng Sandao: "Now in this kind of wind direction, the speed of our boat is not as fast as them, and we will definitely not be able to escape, but I have already calculated that as soon as the time comes, the wind direction will change, and when the southwest wind blows, we can just escape with the wind!"
Hearing him say this, not only Song Sichen, but even Cao Duyun and Hua Bushi showed a look of surprise.
Song Sichen said: "Mr. Peng said that as soon as he arrives, the wind direction will change, are you sure?"
Peng San's eyes widened, and he said: "I said that it will change, of course it won't be wrong, don't you still believe it!"
At this time, the northeast wind is blowing on the sea, and the "White Bird" is in a headwind, and it is difficult to move an inch, if the wind direction changes to the southwest wind, the situation will change immediately, and the "White Bird" can be in a tailwind trend, and the chance of escape will be greatly increased.
However, this Peng San can actually predict the change in the direction of the wind, could it be that he is the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and he can really borrow the east wind?
Regardless of whether this vulgar man really has Zhuge Kongming's ability, at this time everyone has become a tiger riding trend, the bow of the "White Oriole" has turned to the northeast, the sails have fallen, and the nearest pirate ship has approached within three miles, and it is too late to raise the sails and set sail to escape!
But I heard Peng San say: "There are about sixty or seventy people on that pirate ship, wait a minute, you will listen to my orders, rush to their ship together, and kill not a single piece of his mother's armor!"
He coughed, and then said, "Kill all the pirates, and you will come back as soon as possible." Luo Zhong, you have to listen to my instructions to raise the sails, as soon as the wind direction changes, we will set sail and escape, and the guys of the 'Blue Shark Regiment' will be caught off guard, and they can't catch up if they want to!"
This Peng San looked hee-hee haha without seriousness before, but at this moment, his eyes were shining, and a fierce look appeared on his face. Hua Bushi on the side couldn't help frowning when he saw it in his eyes.
Cao Duyun clapped his hands and said: "Okay, it turns out that Mr. Peng San has the ability to predict the direction of the wind, and he is really a master! The other party is only dozens of pirates, and he is vulnerable, it seems that we will definitely win this battle!"
Peng San grinned and said: "Gongzi Cao has won the award, how can I be considered a master with a figure of less than five feet?" It's just that I have been mixed at sea for a long time, and I have a little friendship with the Wind God Master, so he always has to give me a little face. "Three loach boats were approaching, two of them had slowed down and kept a distance of miles from the Whitebird, and the other was heading straight for the Whitebird.
At this moment, the incense burning on the bow of the ship shows that the time has come, and the originally small north wind has actually stopped, which has little impact on the loach ship driven by manpower, and the white flag is hung on the mast of the "White Oriole", which stands still in the sea water, like a poor lamb to the slaughter.
Of course, this is just a façade.
In fact, more than 20 masters on the "White Bird" have all hidden behind the side of the ship, all holding weapons, just waiting for the pirate ship to approach, they will attack in one fell swoop, even Zhengde Dao Chang, Cao Duyun, Xue Yuan, Nangong Qi and others have joined them, only Hua Bushi, who does not know martial arts, and Song Sichen, the steward, are still standing on the lookout.
Peng San grabbed the rudder, his triangular eyes widened, staring at the gradually approaching pirate ship, his expression was cold, and he didn't say a word.
The pirate ship was soon approaching, and from the lookout you could see what was going on the pirate ship, and the deck was full of pirates with swords and axes, and there were fifty or sixty of them. At this time, the two ships were only a dozen feet apart, and the fierce faces of these pirates, as well as their loud noise, could be clearly heard.
The "White Oriole" is huge, and the deck is much higher, which is blocked by the ship's side, but there are no masters hidden on the "White Oriole" from the loach ship.
With a loud bang, the bow of the pirate ship hit the side of the "White Oriole", and the hull of the ship suddenly had a shock. Hua Bushi hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold on to the guardrail before he could gain a firm foothold, and Song Sichen's figure on the side also shook twice, only Na Peng San stood motionless in place, and his two feet stepped on the board of the boat as if they had taken root.
The bow of the loach ship is a flat mouth, which is most suitable for grabbing other boats when plundering on the water, but the hull of the "White Oriole" is huge, and the deck is a few feet higher than that of the loach boat, so it cannot rush directly on. Only a few "snatching" sounds were heard, and more than a dozen hooks had flown out of the loach ship, hooking the boat gang outside the deck of the "White Oriole", and the hooks were all connected with ropes, and more than ten pirates climbed up along the ropes.
The pirates were skilful and skilled at climbing ropes, and in a matter of moments they had reached the top and were about to jump onto the deck of the Whitebird. At this time, Peng Sancai shouted: "Kill me!"
The people who were hiding on the deck immediately rushed out, and the pirates who had just climbed onto the side of the "Whitebird" did not even make a terrible cry, and fell straight down from the side of the ship like stones! Some of them fell directly into the sea, and some fell back into the loach ship below, and the same thing was that when they fell, they were already lifeless corpses.
Not to mention Cao Duyun and Xue Yuan, even the people of the "Shangqing Gate" and the Nangong family are all first-class players in the rivers and lakes, even if these pirates fight them head-on, they may not be able to resist a move and a half, let alone be attacked suddenly?
In just a few breaths, more than a dozen people who were climbing on the rope had all been killed, and the change happened so quickly that the many pirates on the loach ship below had no time to react, and they didn't know what was going on.
Xue Yuan shouted violently, took the lead, rose from the "White Oriole", swept out of the side of the ship, and landed on the bow of the loach ship, and Cao Duyun, Zhengde Daochang, Nangong Qi, Zhu Hong, Meng Huan, Yi Ruoying and others also jumped out one after another and rushed straight to the pirate ship!
It was a completely one-sided fight.
There were more than sixty pirates on the loach ship, although they were fierce, they did not have masters who could compete with Xue Yuan and others, and the martial arts of the two sides were too far apart, and that little numerical advantage was completely useless. And the people on the "White Bird" were chased and killed by these pirate ships all night, and they were already very angry in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to kill all these pirates immediately.
In particular, the Zhengde Taoist of the "Zhengqing Gate" sprinkled all the qi he had received on Peng San's body on these pirates, and unleashed the authentic "Nine Qu Sword Technique" of the Daomen, and the sword light was shining, like a thousand cold stars, and everywhere he went, all the pirates fell down with swords one after another, which was really the same as Phihe!
The weapon used by Nangong Qi is a steel fracture fan, and the technique of hitting points is also extraordinary.
The night was gray, and although there was the light of the stars and moon in the sky, from the other two pirate ships hundreds of feet away from the sea, I could only see the loach ship and the "White Oriole" leaning together, and I could vaguely hear a few terrible screams, as for what happened on the two ships, it was not clear at all.
