1853: Escape
Qi Ye pulled the knife out of the chest and abdomen of a Qi army navy. As the blood spurted out of the knife poured out, he poured all over his head. He didn't even have the strength to dodge and collapsed directly on the deck that was also covered with blood. The corpse fell down, and his legs were placed on him, and he was still spasming unconsciously.
In the distance, Yi Shengfa's battleship was running away in the distance. There were only four or five boats that could keep up with him. Qi Ye wanted to vent his joy in his heart, but he couldn't shout anything in his throat. He found that the feeling of escaping from death was more than the joy of victory.
If Yi Shengfa is as determined to die like him, I am afraid that he will really lose this battle today.
But if you win, you win, although you win a little bit.
Above the sea, there were burning ships everywhere, especially the two main warships of Qi people, which turned into two large and burning torches. After they were ignited, more Ming merchant ships ignited themselves and rushed up. Most of the twenty merchant ships were filled with silk cotton cloth, which were excellent ignition aids.
Now Qi Ye doesn't know how many people died. Looking around, there are almost no figures standing on the merchant ship. The dead naturally cannot stand up again. The living people have no strength to get up at this moment.
A wild dog-like whispered sound came from beside him. Qi Ye turned his head and looked over. The noble man had long lost his former demeanor. He looked at the sky with blood on his body. He lay on his back and stared at the sky with wide eyes. After a short while, his whole body was squirting like a corpse. A big mouthful of blood was pulled on the face of a knife. At this moment, the blood was no longer flowing, but he looked a little ferocious.
At the last moment, this kid was still quite talented. Almost when Qi Ye felt that he could not hold it, he rushed out of the cabin with a knife in a wild cry.
Not to mention, after such noble men overcame their psychological problems, they have good physical fitness and good martial arts cultivation. At least Qi Ye feels that this guy has provided him with great help in the end, so that he finally defended the ship and fucked all the enemies on the ship.
The sound of breathing over there slowly calmed down. Qi Ye also sat up with a knife, looked at the noble master and said, "How is it, is it still possible?"
"You can't do it! I'm going to do big things in the future, how can I not do it?" The noble young master lay there, his body's regular spasms continued.
"Is it the first time to kill someone? Not bad, it's much better than me back then." Qi Ye said with a smile: "When you get home, your father must be very happy and you must think he has a successor."
The pair of eyes turned around and looked at Qi Ye slantedly, obviously more lively than before.
"Is this a war?" he asked.
"This is war." Qi Ye nodded: "When we fight together, right and wrong are not important, right and wrong, and survival is the most important thing. The prerequisite for survival is to kill the opponent. This is still a small scene!"
The noble young master also sat up slowly, "Is this a small scene?"
At this moment, the sea surface was in chaos. In addition to the burning torches and the broken wooden boards that rose and fell with the sea, there were more of the countless dead bodies floating on the sea surface. Especially in their area, there were no dead bodies being carried by waves and hit their boat gang.
"What's this?" Qi Ye sighed: "I changed from the Army to the Navy and participated in the Battle of Zhengyang. In that battle, the bodies of the people who died in battle could not be seen at all."
The noble young master was silent for a long time, "Brother Qi, let's quickly clean up the body of the brother who died in battle. After a while, he will be drifted away with the water, and it will be difficult to find."
Qi Ye looked at the noble master in surprise: "Ling Zun is also a person who has been seeking life at sea, hasn't he told you about the rules at sea? Those who die at sea will naturally be buried in the sea. Why do you need to clean up your body?"
The noble young master shook his head, obviously he really didn't know, or that so many corpses had a huge impact on him that made him lose his temper.
"But one thing that is right for the young master is that we have to deal with the aftermath. If the Qi people come again, we will follow the trend." Qi Ye stood up.
"Will the Qi people come again?" the noble master exclaimed.
"Who is right?" Qi Ye shook his head and said, "The attack on us today has no combat power, but the Qi Navy has dozens of main warships and hundreds of auxiliary warships. As long as there is a wave of such power nearby, we will be done, so hurry up and pack up and run!"
"I'll help you!" The noble man tilted his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Young Master, let's deal with the wound on your face first!" Qi Ye didn't want this kid to cause trouble. Although this battle made him feel a lot of feelings about this kid, he would be very surprised to have such a guy who doesn't know anything to help, but he would be more and more helpful as he helped.
"My face?" The noble young master reached out and touched his face, and suddenly screamed like a pig.
"My face, my face!" He screamed and rushed towards the cabin, "Doctor, Doctor!"
"Don't look in the mirror!" Behind him, Qi Ye shouted loudly with a little malicious intention. Looking at the wound on this kid's face, it is certain that he is disfigured, but it's better to make a living at sea.
Although he was still in pain, Qi Ye still had to cheer up and deal with the aftermath. The statistics made him feel sad. More than fifty ships could basically maintain their navigation, especially the loading merchant ships, which were basically damaged in the fierce naval battle. Most of them were deliberately used as arson ships, and now only some wooden boards floating on the sea are left.
Compared with the damage to the ship, the casualties were even greater. The team of more than 2,000 people now counted all those who could breathe, less than 800 people. In the following days, I am afraid that injured people would die one after another.
But he couldn't tolerate too much sadness. They were not out of danger at the moment. In the current situation, as long as another fleet of Qi came, they would have to finish it all.
After encountering such a thing, the only thing that can be confirmed now is that their mission this time was completely failed. The investment of the Sino-Trade Federation of China was completely wasted. Not to mention the losses of ships and cargo, the pension of the dead people alone was enough for the big guys to have a headache. For themselves, there was no reward this time. If you want to buy a few more storefront rooms for your family, you can only push it until next year or the year after. I just don’t know if the Sino-Trade Federation of China will spend a lot of money again. However, according to Qi Ye’s own idea, they probably wouldn’t make such a large-scale march before the Qi navy was solved. Such losses would be enough to make a family bankrupt. Once again, even the rich and wealthy people could not withstand such huge losses.
Assembling ships that could still sail, Qi Ye directed the broken ship toward Manila.
"Brother Qi, shouldn't we go back to the local area now?" The noble man with a mummy on his face stood beside Qi Ye and asked in confusion. After experiencing such a thing, he no longer questioned Qi Ye on such a thing, but he was just a little confused.
"I dare not run anywhere!" Qi Ye looked at the other party, a little funny. After confirming that he was disfigured, this guy cried and howled in the cabin for a long time. Now he seems to have accepted this fact. This kid is pretty good, no wonder the boss picked him out to follow him among his many sons.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that the people of Qi will block the road." Qi Ye said: "Even if you walk to Manila now, you won't be smooth sailing. However, after I looked at the map, we are closer to Manila now, and it's a good wind to Manila now, and it will be faster."
"The people of Qi are obviously intercepting our Ming Dynasty ships running to the sea. Going to Manila is the busiest channel in our Ming Dynasty. Will the people of Qi be on this channel?" the noble master asked.
"Young Master, it's really rare that you can think of these things." Qi Ye laughed: "So we were walking on another channel. To be honest, the channel was flowed out by our Ming Navy back then, and the maritime merchants don't know."
"Do you have a chart of this line?" The noble young master's eyes lit up.
"Do I want to die if I dare to bring out the naval charts in the navy?" Qi Ye shook his head and said, "But this thing is like being engraved in my mind. I can't forget it. If it's okay, I would never dare to take this path, but now, there is no way, my life is important. Even if I am held accountable later, I have to withstand this wave before going." Qi Ye said.
More than ten days later, this ragged fleet finally saw the high sun and moon flag of a Ming warship patrolling on the sea. Everyone cheered in a loud voice. At this moment, all the tension disappeared, and many people burst into tears. Seeing the Ming warship means that they are truly safe.
The warships in the distance sounded a whistle, and thick smoke was rolling in the huge chimney, heading towards them quickly.
"Come on flags and tell them our identities." Qi Ye's eyes were also red.
A few days later, Qi Ye was taken to Port Manning. At this moment, Port Manning has become a huge construction site. A port that has expanded several times more than before is being intensively constructed here. In fact, the sea area of Manila is under construction everywhere, and fortresses and castles are quickly formed according to the arrangements of the combat plan jointly formulated by Qin Feng and Luo Yishui.
Ning Zeyuan is now the highest commander of this sea area, responsible for the strategic arrangements of the region. Qi Ye was directly brought to him.
