Chapter 288 The whistle

"Very, vomit..."

A man with a short money rat braid was lying on the deck and vomiting to the sea.

"Come here, hurry up and get a can of water, Xiao Liuzi whispered." A shirtless man shook his head and said.

"Sir, we encountered strong winds not long after we went to sea. We floated around the sea for five or six days. It would be better to save some fresh water." A sailor said with a sad face.

"Go quickly." The shirtless man shouted.

The sailor in the navy uniform reluctantly picked up a spoon of water and gave it to the man who was kneeling on the deck and was still retching.

The man had seen the water, and quickly grabbed the spoon and started drinking it.

After a while, he drank all the water from a can of water. The man pursed his lips and looked at the soldier again.

"Okay, okay, it's enough to drink a scoop. Maybe when will you go back to Yazhou? This water is the life of our brother." The soldier who filled the water quickly took the spoon back.

"Look at your promising prospect."

"Our great Qingshui Camp has made you a coward when patrolling the sea." The shirtless man cursed.

"Sir, it's not that the boy is useless, but that he has been floating on the sea for five or six days, either with strong winds or with strong waves. It's been a long time since the day is calm, cough..." The man's face was already pale, and he started to cough again after saying that.

Looking at the miserable situation of the soldiers in front of him and looking at the gray sea level not far away, the bare-armed man couldn't help but shake his head.

"Sir, let's go back as soon as possible." A sailor walked over and spoke.

On the deck, the sailors looked over with their eyes.

Most of these people were shirtless, with their faces full of dish color, and their thin and short moxa braids drooped on the back of their heads.

"The brothers of the water masters in the north go out to sea every month, but our Yazhou Navy does not necessarily go out to sea once every half a year. This year, I finally went out to patrol once every time, but they all turned into soft-legged shrimps." The bare-armed man walked to the water tank cursingly, picked up a spoon and drank a spoon of water.

There is not much water stored on the ship, and the several water tanks in the cabin have already reached the bottom.

If you don't go back, I'm afraid that all the brothers in this boat will die here.

"Forget it, the helmman turns and returns to Yazhou immediately. This time, the water master brother in the north is probably going to laugh out loud." Huang Shangquan gritted his teeth, threw the spoon filled with water into the water tank and spoke.

When the sailors on the deck heard this, their eyes shone brightly and they immediately started to work like a general amnesty, which was completely different from their previous sluggish appearance.

"A bunch of cowards." Huang Shangquan cursed.

But he was not much better at this time, his face was covered in vegetables and his body smelled of water.

As the chief of the Yazhou Camp navy, this time he personally led two rush boats to patrol the sea.

The Yazhou Camp has a water and land joint camp, and there are not many sailors and very few warships. They don’t go out to patrol on the sea on weekdays.

But I don’t know if the garrison of Yazhou Camp is in a mess.

They were forced to search for a group of businessmen.

As a result, the two rush boats encountered strong winds not long after they went out to sea. One sank on the spot and drowned dozens of officers and soldiers.

"Sir, there is a boat ahead." A sailor on the deck shouted.

"What's the matter?" Huang Shangquan was suddenly happy. Could it be the merchant ships of those merchants who fled a while ago?

But before he could take a look, a water column was lifted up not far from the deck.

The cold sea water instantly poured Huang Shangquan into a stool.

"Bang bang bang."

There were bursts of muffled thunderous cannon sounded on the sea not far away.

A lead bullet hit the side of the ship's ship and smashed a big hole straight into the door.

For a moment, a large amount of sea water poured into the cabin.

"What's going on?" Huang Shangquan was shocked to the deck by the huge impact force, and looked at the sailor in front of him with a look of fear.

"Sir, sea, pirate..." A sailor staggered up, but before he could finish speaking, a lead bullet passed through his neck, instantly bringing out a large piece of minced meat and blood.

Huang Shangquan reacted quickly, and saw that he hurriedly hid on the side of the boat and cated.

After a while, dense lead bullets hit the deck like light rain and hit the ship's side.

The officers and soldiers who were not yet able to react were beaten to pieces by the lead bullet and were covered in blood.

Some of them were pierced through their heads, but their chests were fine, and they lay on the ground with a ferocious look on their faces, losing their breath, while those who were hit in the stomach and arm fell to the ground and wailed.

"Damn, where did the thief come from?" Huang Shangquan had never seen this scene before.

Although he had led troops to fight against the Li people when he was in Yazhou and suppressed the rebellion of the Li people.

But there were not so many brothers lying next to them in blood like today.

He quickly raised his head and saw that one ship after another appeared on the gray sea.

Looking around, there were less than twenty ships, and what made him even more terrified was that none of these ships were smaller than the warships under his feet.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew over with a whoosh and penetrated straight into his right eye.

Huang Shangquan felt a stinging pain, and the hot blood instantly overflowed from his eyes.

"Ah!" Huang Shangquan shouted and rolled on the deck.

“Brothers.”

With a loud shout, there were bursts of footsteps coming from the deck.

"No, the pirates boarded the ship." Huang Shangquan gritted his teeth and stood up.

But before he could fully stand up, he kicked over with a big foot, and then a cold sword was placed on his neck.

"If you don't want to die, kneel on the ground obediently." A Ming army soldier shouted.

"Good man, please spare me." The remaining dozen sailors knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Yang Yandi stood beside a copper cannon that was still smoking, staring at the Qing army's whistle not far away.

"It's strange. We have at least five or six days left before Qiongzhou. Why are there Tartar whistle boats here?" Zhao Zhen, the navy Zuozhen Town general, looked at the Qing army warship in front of him with a puzzled look.

The battle ended very quickly, and the artillery on the Fu ship only carried out two rounds of artillery bombardment. When the sailor loaded the third round, the Ming army flag was raised on the ship.

In this battle, no Ming army officers and soldiers were injured and captured, but twenty-one Qing soldiers were killed and more than fifty prisoners were injured.

"What's wrong, why are there so many green camp soldiers on a whistleboat?" A co-master stood on the deck of the bird boat and looked at the Qing army prisoners escorted to the ship.

"Sir, the Tartars originally had two ships going out to sea, but they took one for the Dragon King shortly after they went out to sea." A squad leader looked at the timid Qing army captive with contempt and spoke.

The Qing soldiers in front of them squatted there timidly, their faces full of fear.

Soon a few bird boats divided the captives into pieces.
