147, Jinzhu Gang's Rose Hair【3/3】

The fleet moved forward happily, gradually moving away from the Chongqing oasis, away from the bustling Chaotianmen Wharf, and began to enter the desolate desert. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple, Piaotian, Literary Registered Members recommended this work.

The Yangtze River is still rushing happily under the boat. Although the Yangtze River in this world has become a sand river, its width is not bad. Any place on the river is hundreds of meters wide. The quicksand is like water, surging endlessly, and the momentum is surging, making people feel proud.

There is not only Yi Yun and the merchant fleet on the river. There is a fleet that is slowly advancing not far from Yi Yun's fleet. There are seven ships in this fleet, two more than Yi Yun's fleet, but if you look at one, the hull is much smaller than Yi Yun's.

This is a matter of course. Yi Yun was riding on the imperial warship tower ship. Although he transformed it into a cargo ship, he actually owned the bones of the warship, so he was naturally a circle larger than an ordinary merchant ship. If any civilian merchant ship was larger than the imperial warship, what would be more?

One day later, the fleet arrived at a river with a particularly wide river surface and slow sand. Here, the ship's speed slowed down, and it was not easy to move forward with the power of quicksand. They could only raise sails and send sailors to row the boat so that the ship could move forward slowly.

Yi Yun couldn't help but catch a sailor and asked, "What's going on in this place? Why does the quicksand flow so slowly?"

The sailor smiled and said, "Don't worry, your lord, this place is a famous area in the Yangtze River. Because the river channel is very wide, the quicksand will be diverted when it arrives here, and the flow rate becomes very slow, as gentle as a stream, so this section of the river is also called 'Daixi'."

Oh, this name is quite appropriate, I'm so stupid! Yi Yun was funny in his heart. In fact, the Yangtze River is not just called the Yangtze River. It has different names in different paragraphs. This is not uncommon. For example, the section before Yibin in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River was called "Jinsha River" by the locals, and it is also called "Xiajiang" between Chongqing and Yichang, and it is called "Jingjiang" between Zhicheng, Hubei and Lingji, Hunan, and it is also called "Yangzijiang" below Yangzhou... Then there is a section in the middle called Daixi, which is quite fun. (Piaotian, Literary Registration Member Recommended This Work" Piaotian, Literary Registration Member Recommended This Work.)

Yi Yun was about to instruct the sailors in the bottom cabin to go up the deck to raise the sails, or use some way to speed up the ship. Suddenly, An Qian, who was standing behind him, said lightly: "Look, the seven merchant ships following us suddenly began to accelerate."

Yi Yun turned his head and looked over. Sure enough, the seven merchant ships all had sails. Many long paddlings stretched out from the slurry holes on the side of the ship, like a centipede stretching out many feet, and they pulled up in the sand river. The speed of the ship suddenly increased and rushed forward. The sharp bow cut the quicksand at the corner, knocking the sand to the sides, and the sand and dust floated up, coming in full force.

"Look at how well their fleet is prepared. Before entering Daixi, they started to accelerate with all their might." Yi Yun caught a sailor and scolded: "You guys know how to be lazy. Since you know there is a section of Daixi here, you should prepare early."

The sailor nodded and said, "Prince, we have nothing important to do, and we are not in a state of war. Why do we need to prepare in advance? It is the same if we slowly accelerate after entering Daixi."

"Oh, okay, you're right." Yi Yun was not a person who was indifferent to the matter. He threw the sailor aside and smiled and said, "We are really not in a hurry. We are not going to fight anyway, so we're just shit..."

He sat in the rattan chair on the deck, crossed his legs, and planned to take a nap, but the sailor's words just now suddenly lingered in his mind: "We are not in a state of war, why do we need to prepare in advance..."

Yes, there is no need to prepare if you don’t fight. Why are the seven merchant ships so well prepared? Then, in reverse reasoning, they are in a state of war... Who are they fighting? Apart from them, there is only our fleet on this Daixi...

"I'm falling!" Yi Yun jumped up from the rattan chair suddenly: "Male Gobi, I'm going to hit us!"

"I notify all ships, girls go down the bottom cabin, sailors go on the deck, ready to face the enemy!" Yi Yun shouted. "Piaotian Literary Registered Member Recommended This Work" Piaotian Literary Registered Member Recommended This Work.

At the same time, on the seven aggressive merchant ships, Mr. Luo Lumao, the leader of the Jinzhu Gang of the Yangtze River bandit, was holding a Western telescope and looking at Yi Yun's fleet. This telescope was purchased by him through the Yangtze River waterway and contacted Spanish merchants and bought it at a trade price. This does not mean that there are no "scouts" in the Jinzhu Gang, but Luo Lumao does not like to understand the situation on the battlefield through the "scouts". He likes to see with his own eyes.

He saw Yi Yun's fleet slowly but not accelerating after entering Daixi, and laughed: "These guys have no tension at all. Sure enough, Miss An's family has no experience in running a business. In the lawless desert, the caravan will turn into robbers at any time. They are not alert to our fleet that has been following behind. It's so stupid."

After a while, he saw that the bow of the opposite boat finally became panicked. The women of the cute girl troupe who were originally standing on the deck and breathing in the wind suddenly began to drill into the bottom cabin.

Luo Lemao smiled again: "They finally realized it, but how can they drill into the bottom cabin? You should quickly raise the sail, paddle and try to escape. If you drill into the bottom cabin, wouldn't you be caught in the jar and beaten up in one net? The leader of the Mao child just has no experience, haha."

He laughed dryly, and the seven armed merchant ships rushed forward for a while and began to disperse. The two fastest ships stopped in front of Yiyun's fleet, the two stopped behind, and the other three rushed in half. Now, you can see clearly the situation on the opposite side without a telescope.

Luo's leg hair stretched out a hairy foot covered with leg hair, and stepped onto the side of the boat, and shouted loudly: "This is the Jinzhu Gang's leg hair. Is the An family on the opposite boat? Surrender obediently and deliver goods. I think for the sake of your An family, as long as the goods are goods, there are no lives. If you dare to resist, you will kill them all!"

After he finished shouting, he saw something wrong with the merchant ship opposite. After the girls entered the bottom cabin, the decks of the five large ships were empty. Suddenly, a person jumped out of the ship opposite. This man jumped out of the bottom cabin. He was a man and wearing the cloth armor that the officers and soldiers of the cute country often wore, but he was actually an officer and soldier...

"Officers and soldiers?" Luo Lemao was startled. There was no bandit in the world who was not afraid of soldiers. The appearance of the officers and soldiers made Luo Lemao tremble all over.

But then there was something even more unremarkable. I saw the decks of the five big ships jumping outwards. After a while, the decks of the ship opposite were full of officers and soldiers. A rough count was that there were at least fifty people on one ship, and the five ships combined were 25...

Luo Lemao's cultural level is not high and his head is not very fast. He was stunned and said wonderingly: "Can the bottom cabin of that ship turn women into officers and soldiers?"

"The leader of the gang... it's not that a woman becomes an officer or a soldier, but that there are officer or a soldier hidden in the cabin!" said a gang member.

"Gangmaster, what should I do? We have robbed the ship of the officers and soldiers, my god!" a gang member cried.

Luo Lemao smoked from his forehead and sweated loudly, saying, "What are you waiting for? Just run away!"

He was about to issue an order and quickly retreated. Suddenly he heard the young boy on the bow of the ship opposite laughing loudly: "This is Zhu Yun, the prince of Jiashan. The one on the boat opposite is the Luo leg hair of the Jinzhu Gang, right? Your name sounds very nice, I remember it! Surrender obediently. For the sake of you being a fellow countryman, I only want your head, not your body and hands and feet."

When Luo Lemao heard this, a bump suddenly appeared in his head... Oh my God, this guy... is Zhu Yun, the evil young man from Chongqing! He just heard my name, and even if I ran away, I would be issued a sea arrest warrant by Prince Yu. The world is so great that he offended the royal relatives but had no place to escape... Why can't I control my mouth?

Luo's legs were so angry that he could not cry.

"Gangmaster, what should I do?" the little gang member said with a sad face.

"What else can I do?" Luo Le Mao was so arrogant that he waved his hand domineeringly, "We are here to be a thief. Since we have hit the officers and soldiers, we have to fight to the end. Damn, I killed all the people in these five ships and silenced them. No one knew that it was my Luo Le Mao."

He took out a huge hammer from behind. The hammer weighed at least 100 kilograms and was made of excellent pig iron. It was made of pig iron. It was so bright that it set off his black legs. It showed his majestic and murderous aura. He swung the big hammer and said loudly: "As long as the original plan is planned, the warships are maneuvering, and they keep a distance of 150 meters from the enemy ship. The 'Bowmen' are ready to fight the rockets and officers and soldiers!"

The armed merchant ships of the seven water bandits began to maneuver, with excellent distance control and rotated on the wide river surface. The ship deck was full of water bandits, at least 300. Most of these water bandits had professions, about 100 of whom were first-level "militia", and there were sixty or seventy "soldiers", with very few "guards", and there were only twenty or thirty, and the others were "archers". In total, there were more than 100 "archers", which was quite strong.

This number of people is quite powerful against 250 officers and soldiers. No wonder Luo Lemao dared to yell to kill people to silence people. The number of "bow soldiers" among the water bandits is more than "soldiers" and "guards", and the ability to fight in close combat is weaker than long-range combat. This is also common knowledge of water bandits. When fighting on the water, bows and arrows are much more useful than swords and guns, and close professions are not popular. Therefore, Luo Lemao chose to fight long-distance battles with officers and soldiers, keeping his ships at a distance of 150 meters and using rockets to deal with Yi Yun's fleet.

Yi Yun stood at the bow of his ship and saw the other party taking out a large number of bows and arrows, wrapped in the arrows with something like oil cloth, soaked in the oil, and clicked the arrows. This was obviously a rocket.

He turned his head and asked at the sailors beside him, "How many 'archers' are there?"

"Report to the prince, since our mission is to escort you and protect your safety, most of the people selected to escort the escort team are 'guards'. Less than fifty people are 'bow soldiers' professions'." The sailor reported respectfully.
