Chapter 82: The Fast, Accurate Ironclad Ship
The ten-headed iron armored transport ships left Liuqiu Island with full of food. When Commander Mao left so quickly, Li Zhen sighed in addition to sighing. He felt helpless and puzzled. He had seen the armored ship developed by Qin Shou, and was looking forward to the shipbuilders who came with him to build good ships.
The shipbuilder who came with Mao’s ship was arranged to prepare as soon as possible. Of course, he was preparing to choose a location for shipbuilding. There were many rivers in Liuqiu, and there were countless rivers connecting the sea. The main thing was to see if the location at the estuary was suitable. If you saw it correctly, you would also need to build a river embankment or something.
What Li Zhen is most worried about now is the safety of the surrounding waters. If the pirates take the risk of landing from other places, they will be unpredictable. Now most of Li Zhen’s main force is in the main city gate, and the rest are weak in defense. Fortunately, the policy of retreat has been implemented, otherwise I really don’t know how many spies have plagued in.
Looking at the ships that were gradually disappearing in the dark, Li Zhen shook his head and sighed. Under the torch of the gangsters, he returned to the city and started to build a granary again next year. This is the first thing that Li Zhen thought of. Although the harvest this year is average, it will also be filled with granaries. Building granaries is an imperative thing. As for hidden granaries, more places must be made.
When Commander Mao was there, someone whispered in his ear. Commander Mao's face changed at first, and finally waved his hand with a gloomy face, indicating that the palace guards who came out with him would act according to the opportunity. After receiving instructions from Commander Mao, the person who reported the news nodded and took the opportunity to act according to the opportunity.
In the vast sea, two patrol pirate ships were floating in the sea, without a destination, and the pirates on the crew either sleep or drink and have fun. The Japanese pirates were indeed enough to take their lives when they were on duty and patrol in the dark night. No one was in the mood to patrol in the vast ocean.
The two-wheeled pirate ship is more than ten meters long and nearly four meters wide. It is a typical sea warship. This is a medium-sized ship in the Tang Dynasty today. In addition, the pirates who are mixed in Shanghai are familiar with water play. They drive the ship faster than ordinary people. Just the oars like centipede insects on both sides, you know that the two-wheeled pirate ships are speed-type.
The three pirates on the pirate ship sat aside and drank rare wine. The wine was indeed a rare good treasure to them. Otherwise, it would be fatal to drink some scentless water, and no one wanted to drink some scentless water. It was just a little angry that the Japanese pirates were doing. So, the three pirate buddies on the pirate ship started to scold again.
A pirate cursed and cursed: "His grandma, these dead Japanese pirates are really life-threatening. They just want us to patrol for no reason. What kind of bird thing? It's been more than ten days and there's no movement. Isn't this obviously killing us?"
Another pirate was drinking and said drunkenly, "Brother Xiao! What's the use of scolding behind the scenes? Just go openly to find the Japanese pirates in Japan to start scolding. What's the use of saying nonsense here? If you dare to scold in front of the Japanese pirates, I will accept you!"
The last pirate drank the wine in the wine bowl in one breath, rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, Brother Wangcai, just Xiao Xiaozi's temper. The Japanese pirates glared at him and immediately ran away. Oh~ It's not a solution to continue like this. I'm always suppressed by these Japanese pirates. After a long time, no one will be depressed!"
Brother Wangcai sighed, threw the wine bowl in his hand to the table, and said angrily: "Brother Zhu, you always boast about Brother Zhu's descendants. What do you do? Our heads are also cowards without eggs, and we don't know what evil they have been hit. What do the Japanese pirates say will immediately go to execute them. I really can't figure it out and I'm very irritated!"
Zhuge You, a pirate fry in his thirties, looks pretty pretty and has a different face than the robbers who have been wandering around the sea all year round. He has his own secret recipe to maintain his skin, and he boasts that he is a descendant of Zhu Geliang all day long. He holds a broken sunflower fan like Jigong all day long, pretending to be a ghost and a deep wit.
Zhuge You has a very powerful nickname, Zhu Ge You! It’s obvious that everything you do is very smooth. He was originally the military advisor behind the pirate leader. On the day the pirate leader’s nest was captured, Zhuge You missed to dig sea mud to do a must-have product for maintenance. Speaking of this sea mud, Zhuge You also discovered it accidentally and treated it like a treasure.
By the time Zhuge You came back, the pirate nest had changed. His leader kicked him to the bottom and actually made a strange Japanese pirate become a military advisor. Zhuge You was very angry at that time, but thinking about his current status as a pirate, he had to endure it. Congliang's identity was a bit embarrassing and he would definitely die if he was recognized.
Wangcai's original name is Wang Cai. Because his name is similar to Wangcai. In addition, every time Wangcai goes out to sea to rob, he returns almost full of loads. His fortune has made him the word Wangcai. He is a professional robbery salesman with rich performance in the entire island group. As for the little Xiaozi, he will not be able to describe it for the time being, he is just shrewd and a little timid and afraid of things.
Zhuge You pondered for a moment under Wangcai's inquiry, saying, "This, Brother Wangcai is serious. I just understand it slightly. According to this situation, Brother Wangcai, Brother Xiao, Brother Zhuyou said, you will hear it after hearing it. Otherwise, I won't say it anymore, and I will save my life and enjoy my happiness!"
Brother Wangcai waved his hand with annoyed look on his face and said angrily: "Okay, okay, Brother Zhu, why did you become such a mother-in-law? Brother Wangcai and I can't believe the character of Xiao Xiaozi? Do you want Brother, I swear in the name of the sea god before you believe it?"
The sea god, the pirates live in the gods believed in on the sea, and the only one who believes in the pirates. When the sea is surging, they think that the sea god is angry or something. Every time they go out to sea to rob or something, they must prepare some animals to throw them into the sea, and they are famous for praying for peace and hope that they can go smoothly. It is even more serious to use the sea god to swear.
Zhuge You fanned the broken fan and said in advance: "Brother Wangcai, don't have to be so troublesome. According to my brothers, the boss, well, there are many types of clamps. Some of them are forbidden, such as threats, relatives, poison threats, etc. There are no possibility of relatives threats. The boss is still a bachelor, and the biggest possibility is poison..."
"Oh my God! What the hell is that? C seems to have hit me!" "Idiot, what seems to be. Turn quickly!" Zhuge You's words were not finished yet. There were clamoring shouts outside the pirate ship, and the entire pirate ship suddenly sounded a loud sirens, dinging and resounding... the calm sea surface without any wind and waves.
Zhuge You, Brother Wangcai and Brother Xiao walked out of the cabin. The three of them immediately saw ten black figures. To be precise, the ten-headed striking figures were coming in a hurry. They were shocked and sweating all over. The big ship was so fast that it was very fast, and of course there was a very noisy sound. This was the first thing the three of them thought of.
"What the hell is this?" Zhuge You's broken fan immediately fell to the ground, staring at the ten aggressive armored ships with amazement. The knife-like bow was so panicking. And seeing the fierce appearance of these ships, it seemed like they were about to bump into it. No, to be precise, they were going to bump into it.
"Turn! No, row away quickly, row away quickly! Madman. These guys are madmen!" Wangcai shouted in a stern manner, but his voice had become a powerless cry. The ten-handed iron-armored ships broke through the first pirate ship in a fierce manner, and only cut the first pirate ship into three sections, and rushed straight towards him without any stop.
A group of pirates heard the sound of Gazi's hull breaking. They all looked at the pirate ship that split the third section of the first bow. I don't know who woke up immediately and shouted loudly: "Oh my god! What the hell is this? An iron ship? Run! The iron ship is about to hit, run!"
"Run?" Zhuge You thought of this word at the first time. When he realized that he was about to jump into the sea, there was a crackling sound. The entire pirate ship cracked and cracked with a crisp sound. The hull shook violently, Zhuge You, Brother Wangcai and Brother Xiao, and they all crashed into the sea like dumplings.
A soldier walked towards Commander Mao who was standing on the edge of the bow deck. When he passed the pile of food and weeds, he looked at him with his eyes shining. He bowed beside Commander Mao and said in a temptation: "General, the two pirate ships are all destroyed. Should the general stop the ship to capture prisoners or something? This may be a great achievement. The emperor must be very happy when he knows it! There is a great reward!"
Commander Mao turned around and looked at the soldiers in front of him, sneered and said disdainfully, "Is that so? I am afraid that what I am thinking about is not a reward? It is your Japanese pirates' ship ambush? Is it so stupid? There are so many swords and swords on his body, otherwise? Who are you fooling around? Capture it!"
The five soldiers beside Commander Mao immediately pulled out their swords and put them directly on the neck of the disguised Japanese pirates' mansion. They frightened the Japanese pirates' mansion who were still pretending to behave. They said what the general was doing, and did not notice that their so-called infiltration plan had already failed.
Commander Mao sneered and contemptuously said, "What's going on? I want to ask you, the brave Japanese pirates, what's going on? You dare to make decisions about the food and grass of the Celestial Empire? Don't use your brainless intelligence to take the postgraduate entrance examination. People come and hang him up. When you leave the Japanese pirates' encirclement, put him in the sea, so that he can taste the taste of riding the wind and waves!"
Seeing that the conspiracy was exposed, the disguised Japanese pirates were chattering around their necks with five swords and cursing: "Baga! The ignorant and ignorant people of the Celestial Empire advise you to hand over the food and grass consciously, don't think that your bait from the mountain can deceive our Yamato nation. The arrival of the emperor's outstanding army is your end of the world! You..."
Crack and snap... Commander Mao was very rude to shake the Japanese pirates in front of him, and only beat the disguised Japanese pirates to the point of being dizzy. Several bloody teeth popped out of their mouths. After violently beating and binding him, he quickly tied him up in a big tie. Mo Le also kicked the fragile parts to relieve his anger. Damn, how dare he kill their brothers?
Commander Mao stepped on the disguised Japanese pirate face, curled his lips and sneered, "Little Japanese pirate, don't you think you are crazy about saying this? You are still stubborn when you die. This time, you will be caught. Waiting to go back, you will bring endless disasters to your country! The personnel who convey the tumbling hands and crew, go forward at full speed and don't worry about anything else. The shield soldiers are ready to build a wall of humans! Protect the food!"
The disguised Japanese pirates were immediately hung up by two soldiers and hung directly on the lightning rod-like pier that was specially installed on the bow of the ship. If a horizontal line was added to the top of the head, it would be very similar to the cross of Jesus in the West. You don’t need to be so polite to deal with these garbage Japanese pirates. It would be good if you didn’t torture them until you died.
When Commander Mao went to sea, he had already assigned personnel numbers to prevent Japanese pirates from sneaking in and pretending. After all, when loading food and grass, it is inevitable that they will encounter ambush and sneak attacks in. After all, this batch of food and grass is important. If something goes wrong, the emperor will definitely cut himself off without hesitation.
The palace guards brought by Commander Mao were responsible for checking the numbers on the ship, checking them every other hour. If you can't tell the numbers of the crew or are not crew members, you will know that those are not crew members. After checking the crew members, you will know how many people reported errors. Or you can't answer anything directly, of course, they were arrested, except for Commander Mao's main ship, which did not implement.
A group of soldiers ran out with shields and arranged them all in a row according to the meaning of Commander Mao. Each person stood in a row according to the size of the shield to prevent the other party from being angry and using rockets to attack the food and grass. At that time, the Japanese pirates would not be able to relieve themselves. They would have to kill so much food and grass and they would have to do whatever they wanted.
"Calculate how many brothers we have lost? If we have lost too much..." Commander Mao saw the palace guards who came out with him and asked about the specific number of people who lost. There were no one knowing how many people these Japanese pirates were attacking and pretending. Anyway, there were so many ships on ten bows, with three to four people on one bow, and at least about thirty or forty people on ten bows.
The palace guards hesitated for a while after Commander Mao’s inquiry, bowed and said, “General, our losses this time are quite serious. There are only sixty or seventy people in one ship, and there are more than one hundred people in these Japanese pirates who pretend to be in. They are distributed evenly. There are probably more than a dozen people in one ship!"
Commander Mao could not hide his anger and said with a angrily smile: "A dozen people? Very good, very good. If you pass the order, these Japanese pirates will take them all the way. As long as you have a breath, don't let them live too much, and you don't have to distribute food to them. If you are hungry, eat what they pull out by themselves!"
The palace guards were stunned when they heard the words of Commander Mao. Then they bowed and said yes, and turned their heads to do as they were told. The palace guards understood Commander Mao's idea. A small country dared to shamelessly clamor for the Celestial Empire and killed the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty without hesitation. This crime is not worth mercy. If they hadn't left a breath to go back to the trial, they would have been tortured to death.
Commander Mao looked at the leaving figure of the palace guards, shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, a soldier next to Commander Mao spoke, "General, the fleet of Japanese pirates appeared in front of him. It was too dark and I couldn't tell the specific number of the other party, but it was certain that there were quite a lot of people on the other party. General, would you rush over?"
Commander Mao frowned and looked at the hazy ship shadow in front of him, and sneered and cursed: "Damn Japanese pirates, they dare to be so arrogant. They block the sea route openly and do not kill a warning to the hundred. Do you really think that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are easy to bully? Despicable guy, this time you can see the power of the Tang Dynasty, go forward at full speed and break through the opponent's interception. They want to stop them and see whose ship is hard!"
"Yes! The general has an order, advance at full speed, and set up a shield to protect the food and grass!" The soldiers shouted loudly, and rows of shields immediately stood up. The speed of the ship spread one by one by one, and immediately began to accelerate. The loud engine rushed towards the Japanese pirate fleet with full force.
On the three-said command ship far away, the Yamato, the most powerful sea ship of the Japanese pirates, the hull that was ten feet long and two feet wide were indeed huge enough. In addition, rows of dense archers and swordsmanship were full of combat power, and even the tow ropes were ready. Depending on the situation, the ship was close to the tow ropes and threw them on them and kept them close to the battle.
A Japanese pirate narrowed his eyes and saw the hazy fleet in the distance. He immediately ran to the side to meditate and meditate. Shu*zi, who was calm and energetic, reported: "Your Highness, you have found ten Tang ships ahead. Depending on the situation, it should be a fleet that transports food and grass. Your Highness, what should you do next?"
Shu*zi opened her eyes when she heard the Japanese pirate soldiers' reports. At this time, she was wearing a tight and personalized samurai uniform, outlining her perfect figure. She immediately seduced the Japanese pirate soldiers' eyes to their fiery eyes. Due to Shu*zi's identity, she did not turn into a human wolf or something, unless he wanted to use a pig-killing knife to shout that the emperor would go to bed late and commit suicide by cesarean sectioning.
Shu*zi glanced at the Tang fleet from far to near, narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, "The fleet is surrounded in a geese style, don't let them run away. Archers are climbing their hands to prepare. When the Tang fleet approaches, they will shoot all the people on the ship. No one on the ship will be left, and all the people will be killed!"
After Shu*zi gave the order, she didn't even have the intention to watch it. Just her medium and large fleet with about two hundred bows now. If she couldn't even stop the ten Tang ships, what else could she say? Shu*zi, who was full of confidence, immediately heard a discordant shouting: "No, they are going to crash..."
When Shu*zi was about to order the arrest of those who incite the morale of the army, the loud noise of the ship colliding and the sound of the hull cracking came immediately. Shu*zi was shocked and looked at the three-headed warships on his side disintegrating and disintegrating, and the hull was faster than ordinary ships. The hull made by Shu*zi was so damn that iron could make a ship?
The barbaric armored transport ship crashed all the way, and whoever dared to stand in front was knocked over. All the climbing ropes shot by the archers on the Japanese pirates were pushed away by the shield. The armored transport ship that broke through the encirclement quickly left at a speed of 10 knots. When the Japanese pirate warship that reacted behind turned the bow, the armored transport ship was no longer visible!
Shu*zi shouted loudly with an ugly face: "Chasing! No matter what price you pay, let the pigeon notify the undercover in the Tang Dynasty sea area, and use any means to stop them and catch them! Run so fast? Where is the motivation?"
Shu*zi directed the ship to chase the armored transport ship with an ugly face. She didn't believe that the armored transport ship could really keep it so fast all the way. At the same time, she was confused. Where did the power of the ship come from? I didn't see oars or something. What Shu*zi is most worried about now is that after these ships left, her purpose was exposed, and now she can only expose the undercover to stop it.
