Chapter 649

Near a reef more than twenty miles away from the battlefield, a huge fleet was anchoring again. The lookout hand on the mast looked at the place where black smoke rose in front of him, anxiously waiting for the signal that had been agreed upon.

On the deck below, a man with a somewhat similar face to Zheng Feicai was also paced anxiously, "What's going on with the second brother? The war ahead is so fierce, why is he still reluctant to send a signal?" Although he couldn't see what happened on the battlefield, so much smoke suddenly appeared in a short time. You can tell how fierce the battle has been. No wonder Zheng Feifeng was so anxious. Whether the war is beneficial to our side or not, you should always give us a signal so that we can prepare early!

He didn't know that Zheng Feicai had been completely scared just now. He remembered the previous agreement until he changed his course and quickly ordered his subordinates to light a few rockets and shoot them into the sky.

"The third leader! The second leader's signal is here!" The lookout hand immediately shouted loudly when he saw this, and tried hard to distinguish the type of signal. "It's a red rocket, three in a row. This is to let us escape quickly!"

Zheng Feifeng's heart skipped a beat. How long have they been leaving? This sends a signal to escape quickly? How tragic was the battle just now? Although the East China Island Barbarians were not as good as their own fleet, Zheng Feifeng thought that even if he and Zheng Feicai worked together to annihilate the fleet, it would have to be a long time, and he would have to pay a heavy price. But who would have thought that his sect would be killed after just a little while of persistence?

"It's not that those miscellaneous people turned against Qian Hua in the last battle, right?" Zheng Feifeng spat, threw the reasons for the failure on the heads of the island barbarians in Donghai, and quickly jumped up to command the army to raise their anchors and sails. "Hurry up, whoever is slower will stay behind to face Qian Hua! Labor and capital will not wait for them!"

The sea, which was still very calm just now, suddenly became chaotic. All the captains on the warships began to shout loudly and curse the sailors who were directing their sailors to raise their sails, and they started to run the ships to escape. There were even several warships that had even had a dispute because of the ships blocking their escape route. Zheng Feifeng was so angry that he would have cursed. If it weren't for the time now, he would have wished that these guys who had not succeeded in the sea and fed the sharks.

The Jiangnan Navy was ultimately not a regular army. It would be fine if it was nothing to do. At this critical moment, they exposed their shortcomings of insufficient training and discipline. The expected departure time was twice the delayed. When the fleet finally sorted out its formation and began to escape for a long time, the mast of the fleet under Zheng Feicai could already be seen behind him.

"If you are dead, give your labor and capital faster! That guy Qian Hua is not far away!" Zheng Feifeng was anxious and didn't care about waiting to check the losses of Zheng Feicai's fleet. He rushed to the front first. The warships behind him also quickly used all their skills to speed up the escape. They had long lost their arrogant spirit of traversing all over the world.

"Mom, how did these people build a ship? Why did he run so fast?" Looking at the treasure ship getting closer and closer, Zheng Feicai's forehead was covered in cold sweat. After scolding, he quickly folded his hands together and prayed to the sea god, "Empress of the sea god, please bless us to escape this disaster. If we can survive this time, the young will definitely reshape your golden body and sacrifice will continue in all four seasons."

The jumping helpers on each ship who had not yet used their skills began to pray to the gods they believed in. Whether it was the Goddess of the Sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Grand Lord of the Supreme Lord, and even the Land Lord, the Birthday Old, they were asked to make all kinds of benefits, and they only wanted to escape their lives. The consequences of the East China Sea Island Barbarians just now really scared them. These sailors could not afford the courage to fight against the California navy, and could only pray for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

These people took the power of the Jiazhou navy crushing the East China Sea Island Barracks fleet just now. The survival of the enemy and the fear of the enemy made them burst out with greater strength than the Zheng Feifeng fleet. Zheng Feicai's fleet caught up and surpassed them in a short while.

Taking advantage of the two ships' parallel kung fu, Zheng Feicai ran to the side of the ship and jumped up to gesture to Zheng Feifeng with exaggerated gestures, making him speed up. Unfortunately, their speed of sailing had exceeded the past, but it was still not as good as Qian Hua's treasure ship. In just a while, the mast of the Jiazhou Navy also emerged from below the sea level, and he was getting closer and closer to them.

"Drop things quickly and throw me the ballast stones, weapons, food, and drinking water!" Zheng Feicai had no choice but to use his last resort, trying to speed up the speed of his journey by reducing the weight of the ship.

"The second leader, if we lose the ballast, we will die if we encounter storms! Without weapons, the enemy will surround us and wait for death." The captain quickly advised, "There is also food and drinking water. Now the nearest pier will take three days. Without these, we will not be able to hold on to the dock even if we escape!"

"If we don't lose these, we will die now!" Zheng Feicai grabbed his collar and scolded loudly. After the scolding, he was a little awake. "First throw away all the ballast stones, then the weapons, leave half of the food first, and don't worry about drinking water." After all, drinking water is the most critical thing at sea. People can persist for a few days without eating, but if there is no drinking water, they will definitely not be able to hold on to the dock.

Splashes of water were constantly splashing around Zheng Feicai's fleet, ballasts, weapons and food fell into the water one after another. The ships that had reduced their weight accelerated again, gradually leaving Zheng Feifeng behind him.

Is the matter so urgent? Zheng Feifeng was stunned when he saw this scene, but when he turned around and saw the towering treasure ships that were getting closer and closer, he instantly understood Zheng Feicai's actions and quickly ordered his fleet to abandon all heavy objects that could be abandoned by them.

Unfortunately, neither praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky nor reducing the weight of the ships, they could escape. Qian Hua's fleet continued to reduce the distance between the two sides, which made the Zheng brothers even more worried that the Jiazhou navy had begun to change its formation. A team of smaller ships began to escape from the brigade and drew an arc to block their way from the front. Moreover, judging from the speed of these small boats, it would not take long to catch up with them.

Do you have to disperse the formation and escape from each other? Zheng Feifeng and Zheng Feicai thought at the same time that this move can only escape from a few ships by luck. I wonder if you have such good luck? (To be continued.).
