Chapter 46 Not doing a proper job?

On the lake, several brig sailboats ride the wind and waves. Because it is a good wind, in order to maximize the speed of the ship, the heroes on the ship drive sails and spread their main sails left and right, looking from the front or back, like a butterfly spreading their wings.

This is a unique full sailing method of hard sailboats, which can maximize the expansion and driving. Generally speaking, a boat can increase the speed to the limit with the "butterfly sail".

But even so, I can't get rid of the pursuers behind me.

The three fast ships that were chasing closely behind were also full of sails, increasing the speed of the ship, and chasing and escaping, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

On the hard sailboat, the heroes looked at the soft sailboat that looked a bit strange, and were frightened, but they could do nothing.

The Clippers affiliated to the Pearl Bureau are rare soft sailboats. Although they are also brigs, the sails are linen, with not only longitudinal sails, but also horizontal sails.

A "head mast" was extended diagonally from the bow of the ship, and a few more cloth sails were pulled between it and the main mast.

This kind of fast ship is very fast when it is windy and much faster than ordinary hard sailing ships. It is said that even if the hard sailing ship spreads its butterfly sail, it cannot escape this kind of ship.

Before, the heroes thought it was a rumor, but now they are targeted by the other party and are reluctant to leave, only then can they realize that the Clippers are really fast.

The sails were blown away by the wind, so the boss Chang Shui Biao ordered his men to immediately use long oars to paddle with sails and boats, and use their strength to get rid of the pursuers.

Soon, several hard sailboats "growed" many feet, like centipedes, swinging rhythmically, and the ship's speed gradually increased.

Seeing his subordinates rowing desperately, Chang Daniu felt a little calmer and looked back at the pursuit soldiers, and was stunned for a moment.

But the upper half of the high mast slowly rose from the cliff boat: It seems that the other party was not full of sails before, but now it is.

The Clippers in the Pearl Bureau are rare soft sailing ships, which use cloth sails and have transverse masts.

The cloth sail weighs lighter than the hard sail, so the mast can be very high and more cloth sails can be hung.

The towering masts and wide horizontal masts support huge cloth sails, so they can catch more winds. Now it is also a good wind, and the other party's boat goes faster.

Even without using long paddles, the distance between the speedboat and them was still shortening.

"Boss! We, we can't escape!" Someone shouted in horror and was kicked down by Chang Shuiqiu: "What are you howling! Get ready to catch the board!"

If things have come to this point, I can't escape, so I can only fight my life. The heroes have picked up their weapons one after another and have to fight hand-to-hand combat after the other party catches up.

They are making a living in the lake, licking blood from the knife, not afraid of life, but...

Because the Clippers in the Pearl Bureau are soft sailing, they are very troublesome to drive sails, so they use many more people than ordinary hard sailing boats. If they are transporting goods or fishing, the more crew members they hire will be higher.

However, if you fight with me and force, there will be more people on the side, which side will have the upper hand.

It is said that the Clippers in the Zhuzhou Bureau have many more people than the hard sailboats of the same size, and they will fight in a while...

With a "bang!", the fast-coming clutch crashed into the left back side of a hard sailboat. The hero on the ship was shaken and tilted. Finally, he got up, but saw a sharp bulge at the bottom of the head of the clutch, which directly broke through the left string of their boat.

Zuo Xian was knocked out, and a large amount of lake water poured into the ship. The heroes who were still waiting for hand-to-hand combat had already begun to sink with the broken ship before they could come to the opportunity to catch the sidelines.

Next to it, two other fast sailboats collided with other hard sailboats one after another, and the two hard sailboats also tilted quickly.

Chang Shui Buffalo, whose ship was overturned, lit a torch and threw it hard to the fastest speedboat. However, before the torch was released, the archer squatting in the nest on the top of the high mast on the ship was shot into the chest with an arrow.

Chang Shuiqiu felt a huge pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that the front end of the arrow penetrated the ring-lock armor that was penetrated by his body. He felt unbelievable: This is armor, why can't he block the arrow?

The body was chilling and the strength was disappearing. Chang Shui Biao was unwilling to give up. He wanted to figure out what was going on. He pulled it out and found that the arrow was in needle shape.

It is an armor-breaking arrow that specializes in breaking the ring lock armor!

"Bastard, I'll fight you..."

Chang Shuiqiu started to curse, and was shot several arrows and died on the spot.

On the three fast ships, the tall masts all have a nest, and the archers are condescending, shooting and killing the heroes on the hard sailboat.

Many people escaped, but were shot to death by archers leaning against the boat gang. In a fierce battle, there was no white blade on the side, only a unilateral massacre.

On a fast ship, Liang Sen looked at the water bandits crying and shouting "Rare your life" and saw the nervous young and strong people around him who were "protecting the beads" along the boat.

These young and strong people are ordinary people, so Liang Sen looked at the teenagers who were tempering with him and ordered:

"Kill, don't leave any of these water bandits!"

......

In the waters near a small island, two fast ships were besieged by more than twenty hard sailboats. Hunters who set up traps are now howling and besieging prey that falls into the trap.

The Clippers in the Zhuzhou Bureau did run fast, but they couldn't run after falling into a trap. Next, they should be "revenge if they have revenge and revenge if they have revenge."

Thinking about the past few days, the Clippers of the Zhuzhou Bureau wandered around the lake, attacking ships in various villages from time to time, killing countless people, the heroes who besieged the Clippers felt angry.

What's the use of you being so fierce, like a black bird?

No matter how fierce the black bird is, it will be chopped up by someone else. Now, it’s your turn to be chopped up by us!

Seeing archers on the mast of the Clippers shoot arrows from a high place, each ship began to set rockets, and wanted to ignite the soft sails of the Clippers.

However, the fire arrows did not shoot out a few, and the boards on both sides of the clutch suddenly opened like windows, revealing large crossbows.

With the "bang bang", a large number of quicklime pots were sprayed out by a large crossbow and hit the besieged ship, which quickly stirred up a scattered mist.

Quicklime will get heat when it touches water. When it hits people's eyes, it will make the eyes painful and cannot be opened even if it is opened.

The sudden quicklime attack caught the heroes who besieged the Clippers off guard. They had seen fire attacks and used quicklime to paste their faces, but they had never seen such a large scale "quicklime attack", and they were in chaos in an instant.

Many heroes who were covered with quicklime were howling and covered their faces and ran around. The initial fire arrow attack was soon suppressed by the archers on the Clippers.

The people on the Clippers did not fight with the heroes, and leaned against the archers on the masts to shoot and kill the living people on the ships.

After the white mist dissipated, the people on the Clippers deck fought back, shooting arrows and even throwing harpoons.

In the cabin, Li Li looked through the porthole and saw the crew members throwing harpoons skillfully, beating the surrounding water bandits who were relying on the gangs, and was quite satisfied:

‘It’s not in vain that I can keep food and accommodation for you to exercise and practice martial arts every day.’

Liang Sen was commanding the killing of the enemy outside, and Li Li had no one to chat, so he could only wait. He was a little bored and started thinking about the map.

He is a Zhuguan official and is responsible for collecting Hezhu to pay tribute. Therefore, the safety of the "Zhuchang" in various places in Pengli Lake District is the issue he needs to consider.

Shaofu Temple is similar to the Emperor's Inner Treasury. The pearls tributed by the local government offices under its name cannot be achieved if the number is not reached due to interference from the thief.

Therefore, the Zhuzhou Administration either uses the power of the government to clear out the water bandits and ensure the safety of the Zhuzhou field, or find a way to recruit people on its own "temporary" and organize "group training" to drive away the water bandits.

For Li Li, he naturally chose the latter, his own guardian armed forces, as well as the recruitment and recruitment of young and strong men, just came in handy.

In the name of attacking water bandits and ensuring pearl collection, anyone who dislikes them will say that they threaten the "Zhuchang", and then expel them in a legitimate manner (suppressing bandits) to train soldiers.

This is the privilege (tiger skin) that Li Li wanted, which actually violated the responsibilities of local governments: maintaining public order.

The Zhuzhou Administration suppressed bandits in some waters of Pengli Lake District and left the county roaming troops aside. Such an infringement on the functions of local governments could be successfully established. Only the favored emperor can successfully operate this matter.

Li Li used the gallbladder method to exchange the "tiger skin" for the large copper ore position, which was very "tiger content", and the King of Poyang could not give it.

There is a young minister Xu Yu who is the backer, and he is not afraid of the local government being dissatisfied with this. As long as Li Li does not make a big mistake of breaking the sky, does not harm the people, does not affect local taxes, and labor levies, and states, counties and counties can do nothing.

As for the You Junwei Peng Yu, it was just a trivial matter. Li Li had given gifts several times to express his apology.

The siege army did not need to be dispatched, and the water bandits were dealt with. Who would say such a good thing?

After all, the county voyage army still has to deal with the bandits on the land. It is always good to be less concerned.

The movement outside gradually became smaller. Li Li looked through the porthole and the siege ships that besieged him fled one after another.

Pushing open the hatch door and walking to the deck, he saw two of his own fast ships coming in the distance.

The deck was in a mess, and some of the sails that had been burned by fire had been turned off, emitting a faint black smoke.

Liang Sen directed his men to clean up the deck and treat the injured. Looking at his growing men, he felt quite moved.

In a year, I finally could not panic, but this was not enough and I had to continue to train. After all, suppressing the enemy and going to the battlefield to fight are two different things.

Liang Sen saw Li Lidong looking around and asked for instructions closer: "Supervising work, next?"

"Don't chase the poor enemy. Let them run away, so we have an excuse to chase and suppress the enemy..." Li Li chuckled gently, "Otherwise, who will we ask for to practice?"

This makes sense, and Liang Sen can easily figure it out, but there is one thing he can't figure out.

Li Li is now a "zhu official" and is in charge of the pearl service, but in the past few months, he has been doing everything, but Li Li has not been able to harvest pearls. Isn't this not doing his job properly?

"Don't do my job? Of course I haven't forgotten my job." Li Li still smiled, "I finally got this tiger skin, but I have to use it well. Just take the people to train, and you don't have to worry about the expenses."

"But..." Liang Sen looked around and saw no one beside him, and still asked worriedly: "It's very troublesome to pick pearls. Don't hurry up, if..."

Li Li was full of confidence: "Nothing in case, believe me, that's right."
