272 Killing God
Sikong Changlie and Spruce took a boat to Bauhinia, and after going ashore, they bought two horses and ran to Qichang Mansion.
Yuwen Jie and Yuwen Zhuoxi had heard of General Sikong's reputation, and they were so frightened that they rolled off their horses together. When Yu Wenjie spoke, his voice couldn't help but tremble: "Sikong, that, General Sikong!"
"What about His Royal Highness the Eagle King?" Sikong Changlie was distracted.
Confirming that he did not leak the answer with his son just now, Yu Wenjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While glad that he had no way to go, he chose the only way to stand with the sky, and at the same time calmed down his uneasiness, he hugged his fists and said to Sikong Changlie: "General Hui, Your Highness is the master of the humble duty to guard the city here, and His Highness and the thirty-three Black Wind guards all went to the beach." β
Sikong Changlie became anxious when he heard this. The situation on Silvergate Island, he saw with his own eyes. No matter how great the Eagle King is, he is still a human in the end. Muskets and artillery are domineering, mountains can be razed to the ground, how can flesh and blood withstand it?
Yu Wenjie grabbed the reins of his horse: "General, general, don't be impatient." β
Sikong Changlie was on the fire, glaring, gritting his teeth: "You delay me to support the Lord, if the Lord has a little bit of a mistake, I will also break you into ten thousand pieces." β
Yu Wenjie's old face stiffened, and then he smiled, and told the Eagle King how to go to the beach, 1510, and after finishing speaking, he continued: "The general is fast, and he will definitely be able to catch up in half an hour at most." However, general, look at you, you are all armed, and all your weapons are worn outside. Seeing it by the eyes of the Swiss people, His Highness's plan is all over. β
"So," Sikong Changlie's tone relaxed, "I also have to stay here with you, waiting for the news from the sea to come back?"
"I knew there was another way to the beach. β
According to the path provided by Yuwen Zhuoxi, Sikong Changlie and Spruce first rode horses, then climbed the mountain, and finally climbed over the cliff to a sandy beach near the port. The sand on this beach is very thick, and there are gravel and stones, and where the waves crash up, there are many bakers and corals that cannot walk barefoot. After running for a long time, Spruce stretched out his hand and pointed: "Changlie, look." β
In the distance, three large ships can be faintly seen.
In terms of scale, the three ships of Baron Jory are far from the Holy Eagle. However, the much thinner hull is more suitable for breaking the waves in the sea. There are a total of six guns in the bow and stern, which can basically cover a surrounding range. Before the prince of Bauhinia Island Yuwen had not sent the promised gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and the beauties of Bauhinia Island, Baron Jory had been accompanied by the missionary Mark, inspecting the current situation of the ship's hull, artillery, and guns and ammunition in civilian clothes.
Although the war with Yinmen Island consumes a lot of money, however, because of the abundant reserves, according to Mark: "Even if we use Bauhinia as a pedal and land on Penglai Island, it is more than enough." β
Jory made his way up the stairs from the cabin, and Mark followed beside him. As a translator, Mark's Sith Chinese, Swiss Franc Chinese and Penglai languages are all very good. Talking to Qiao Rui, he used a very authentic Swiss franc Chinese pronunciation: "You are the first time to this sea area, I don't know, in fact, our large area, Penglai Island is the best developed." Qizhou was renamed Tiandu, the city lord was changed from Bai Guhong to Bai Yingchu, and the development of industry, agriculture, commerce and culture was particularly fast. For example, in the Swiss franc country, only the aristocracy can afford to wear silk, and Tiandu Industry can make it itself. Chasing Qiao Rui's side, he said lotus: "It's all here, don't you feel sorry if you don't go to Tiandu?"
With that, the two of them climbed onto the deck together. In the distance, a longing shadow appeared on the beach. The sailor brought the heavy eyepiece, an instrument made up of lenses of different shapes that could see far away, and placed it on the eye, and something a few hundred meters away immediately came closer.
Jory saw the carriage and horses, and there were still people.
Except for the two leaders in a black robe, which is more formal, the rest are coolies.
"What Bauhinia promised has arrived. Jory said.
But Markla stopped him: "You don't go to the reception. β
"Why is that?"
"Before, it was because you met Zijing's Yuwen Gongzi that he sent a gift, so I can negotiate terms with you. We can listen to Yuwen Gongzi's conditions, but the next thing we want to talk to Yuwen Gongzi is that we hope to land on Penglai Island with the help of Bauhinia's cover. Tiandu is prosperous, baron, you must go and take a look, whether it is gold, silver, jewelry, jade, or beauty, if you come to Penglai, if you don't go to Tiandu, it is equivalent to coming to this trip in vain. β
Qiao Rui was moved: "I'm not going to receive it, who should do this job?" thought for a while, and said a name: "Rockley, how is it? He will have enough capital by the end of this year." If there are really a lot of things to bring back this time, I will be received by Her Majesty the Empress, and I can be promoted to viscount, or even earl, he will at least take over my class. β
"Then give him a copy of the epaulettes and the ribbon. β
Jory thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Rockley, who is about the same age as Jory, is very tall and very strong. Wearing clothes with epaulettes and ribbons, he was much less reckless, and he was very happy, and he became more and more arrogant.
Two Black Wind guards were the first to board the ship, and on the deck, waiting for the porter to carry the boxes one by one, and then waiting for the four grooms to guide the four "beauties" to the boat.
It was dusk, the sun was sinking in the west, and the afterglow was shining in the western sky, reflecting the sunset. The glow of the sun spreads on the surface of the sea, and the blue waters turn a dazzling red. The sails were all glowing, and all the Swiss francs on deck, including Rokeley, had orange-orange hair and red faces. And the people of Penglai stepped forward in this red glow, the gold bricks that Rokeley was holding in his hand fell off, and all the Swiss francs focused on a brilliant figure who came out of the crowd.
On the side of the boat, Jory was very shocked and said to Mark: "I never thought that there were such powerful beauties in the country here. Oh, how tall must 'she' be?" It was only in front of Rockley that Jory and Mark felt that this "woman" was still slender and petite. Looking at it from the side, Xiaguang gave a silhouette, and the silhouette of the light was also thrillingly beautiful.
Mark immediately became excited, rubbed his hands, and praised: "The son of the Yuwen family is really good at doing things." He emphasized to Qiao Rui: "You can really talk to Yuwen Zhuoxi carefully, and look, they are very sincere to us." And we are sincere, that is, the people on the island are not in harmony, and the two sides who are not in harmony, one of them is willing to take refuge, of course, we must strive for it. I'm done, baron, I want toβ" Only in the second half of the sentence, his high-spirited passion instantly icicles, the heat plummeted, and a scream of horror came out of his mouth.
Rockley's thick neck was cut off lightly and dexterously, and the huge head flew up, drawing circles in mid-air, and blood shot out in an arc......
Neither Jory nor Mark, even in the anecdotes of their own country, had ever been exposed to such a strange and terrible thing. The "woman" in the gorgeous clothes, when she turned around and waved her hand, someone's head would roll off. "She" didn't seem to be holding a human weapon, but a life-stealing weapon of the messenger of hell. Even if there are those who are far away, there is no escape. Because "she" moves very fast, and in the blink of an eye, all the people who had just had the consciousness of running were either beheaded off or stabbed to death with a sword.
Mark found a musket and picked it up. The thought in Jory's mind raced and he jerked him down.
The number of people on this ship is plummeting. If one shot can't kill the other party and is discovered, Jory is sure that he and Mark will definitely fall to the ground.
The devil wouldn't have such a fast movement speed. Someone jumped into the sea in the back. Jory pulled Mark to hide in the corner, and saw a porter dressed as a porter, holding a sword, flying from the deck and jumping into the sea. Jory and Mark quietly ran out of hiding and stuck their heads out to look. When the porter went down to sea, blood was already gushing up from under the water.
It took a lot of effort for Jory to press down on the gun that Mark wanted to pick up again. He whispered to Mark, "No, we have to go on another ship." β
Mark was completely panicked: "What's the use of going to other ships, going to other ships?"
"Shelling!"
"Huh?"
Hearing another killing sound in the stern of the boat, Jory and Mark were about to run to the stern of the boat, and hurriedly stopped again. A quiet voice in my ear said, "Go down to the cabin and search." Qiao Rui quickly peeked at it, and saw that the gorgeously dressed "woman" was standing in the twilight that was gradually getting heavier, and her demeanor and demeanor had lost her previous feminine form.
Mark kept trembling and whispered, "That's not a woman at all, it's not a ......"
Jory felt that the gaze was about to be cast here, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed Mark and ran towards the bow of the boat.
The Eagle King sensed the movement, but a terrible roar came from the hatch that opened on the side. A subordinate had just been ordered to enter the cabin to check, but he didn't come up, so he had to go to the cabin to find out first. As a result, there were twenty Swiss francs in the innermost part of the cabin, and as soon as the door opened, they screamed with all their might. Zhang Han raised the lamp, the Eagle King covered his nose first, looked at it fixedly, his brows immediately furrowed, and at the same time, there was a wave of nausea in his heart. It turned out that these Swiss franc people were not normal, not only were the exposed skin covered with black and purple spots one by one, some of them were broken, and pus was flowing from under their clothes, which caused the unpleasant stench.
These people have not seen a living person for a long time, and when they see the light and the living people, they are so frightened and scream.
Bi Kun asked, "Lord, what should I do?"
The Eagle King thought for a moment and said, "Lock it up." He shook his sleeves and turned to walk.
Chasing the bow of the boat again, the two people who had just escaped the net had already jumped into the sea. And the delay has allowed them to split up and swim to the other two boats. The Eagle King stood at the bow of the ship and looked over to one of them, only to see a yellow-haired man climbing up the rope ladder. After a while, the boat turned its hull so that the bow was aimed at itself.
The waves were so rough that they could not cover the sound of the artillery raising its head. The Eagle King quickly left the bow of the ship and shouted, "Abandon ship, abandon ship!" As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball was released from the opposite ship. Bi Kun, Tong Lin and the others did not have the good light skills of their masters, they ran hard, and they only looked at the deck. The shell hit the bow of the ship, sending a huge shock to its hull. Fan Yanzhi, who was closer, was shocked and flew in the air, rolled several times before falling hard. Whether he was injured or not, he didn't have time to care, because the second and third shots came one after another.
"Bang bang bang!" the bow of the ship was blown to pieces.
The boat opposite the stern also began to open fire. The Eagle King grabbed Fan Yanzhi and Yuan Bin one by one, threw them like a frisbee, and threw them in a straight line high, over the side of the ship, so that they could fall into the sea. Zhang Han and Zhao Qi were the last to come to the boat, and the Eagle King waited for them to get into the water and jumped into the sea himself.
By the time Sikong Changlie and Spruce reached the nearest beach to the three boats, the Swiss Franc had already completely sunk the middle of the three ships. In order to prevent the enemy from boarding the ship again, Jory ordered to fire all the way underwater, and at the same time, let the sailors drive the ship into the deep sea. The signal for withdrawal was given, and the ship on which Mark had boarded followed.
Sikong Changlie said to the spruce: "You have good water nature, go and chase it." β
Spruce was a little puzzled: "Even if I swim fast, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with them." β
"Fang Bo will definitely intercept them before they go out of the bay. There was no way the Eagle King would allow them to leave. Speaking of this, Sikong Changlie pulled out a dagger he was carrying with him and hung it on her belt: "After chasing the enemy's ship, be careful not to collide head-on with the enemy's firepower." Their artillery will definitely bombard the White Shark fleet, and the muskets will also focus on keeping the Eagle King close, so if you have a chance, sneak up on the ship. β
Spruce followed him to the water's edge, and suddenly grabbed his hand: "There are two boats, and you have to go up to one too, right?" Her eyes suddenly moistened, she sniffed, and sighed again, and she swallowed the words that came to her mouth that she was reluctant to let him take risks. With a smile on her face, she said to him, "Be sure to come back safely." β
Sikong Changlie patted her hand and signaled her to rest assured. The two of them went underwater, and when the water reached their waists, the two of them plunged into the water at the same time.
When it comes to water, spruce is really the best of their group. She and Sikong Changlie entered the water at the same time, and Sikong Changlie had only swam for a long time, and she had already jumped out like a fish.
When night fell, a large, round moon rose in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the sea brightly. Sure enough, the White Shark fleet appeared at the mouth of the bay, and six ships lined up, blocking the way of the two ships in the Swiss franc. Jory ordered the two ships to fire at each other with all their might. At the same time, he was holding a gun, paying full attention to the rear. On the bright moonlit road, a small boat came by the wind. The man who was as beautiful as a woman stood with his hands in his hands, and the sea breeze lifted his long hair that was casually scattered, and the whole person was like the devil in the legend of Hell in the Swiss Franc Country.
Jory held the gun, and couldn't suppress the deep panic in his heart. He tried not to collapse and faint, waited for the ship to come into range of the musket, took aim, and fired a shot. After the bullets flew out, the man on the boat was gone. The sailors who were ambushed on both wings heard Jory shouting in Swiss francs: "Fire!" and shot frantically at the surface of the water, regardless of the target. At the end of a round of attacks, Jory climbed to a high place and took out the heavy eyepiece to look around. Ahead, six enemy ships suffered heavy damage and temporarily fell silent. Behind, the corpse that should have been seen failed to surface.
Jory didn't believe that there could be a living person who could escape from such dense firepower. Tonight, however, is indeed more dangerous than ever. The first mate came to report: "There are not many shells left. Jory thought for a moment and said, "Hang up all the sails and sail from here!" But his ears heard the sound of a gunfight coming from the adjacent sea. Lifting the heavy eyepieces, Jory saw another man on Mark's boat. The man's face was not clear in the heavy eyepieces, but if you look at the outline, you can tell that this is not the first group of enemies to board the sunken ship.
Is it the enemy who has a second-hand trick?
"Damn!" Qiao Rui cursed, and decisively let the first mate let go of the sampan, and he and several sharpshooters on the ship took a total of three ships to the sea and went to support. When he got closer, he saw that the man was really skilled, there was a heavy boxing master on that ship, and there was also a heavy fencing master, the former fought with the man for less than ten moves, and the man broke his elbow and spurted blood with one punch; The man slapped his side and sent a bloody splash of blood out of the fencer's face. The rest were either stabbed or, like these two, were killed by heavy hands.
Qiao Rui picked up the gun, and while the man had killed everyone, he was shrugging his shoulders and panting, and with a "bang", he hit the man in the chest.
Several heads of several people who drifted with the tide appeared on the surface of the water. The Swiss franc sailors saw that the enemy was not giving up, and hurriedly shouted. They shot as they rowed the boat back. Paddled under their own boat, the ship's fire responded, and they climbed the ladder back to the ship. The boat on the opposite side floated on the sea, drifting farther and farther with the waves. The first mate asked, "Baron, what do we do now?"
Qiao Rui regretted it very much, but it was even more important that the rest of the materials and people he had to take away safely. He personally supervised the boat out of the bay, and made sure that it would not be stopped again, and he relaxed a little. Lost the gun and returned to the cabin. Take a shower, change your clothes, and head to the restaurant.
However, the sight in the restaurant surprised him.
