But this kind of tranquility was just fleeting. The cold sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, making the clothes of Han Du and the three people rustle.
The fierce sea wind blew Han Du's breath away. Han Du suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Yu Da, give the order and turn on the lights!"
"Light up!"
There are many ways to convey military orders between ships on a large sea voyage, such as semaphores, horns, gongs and drums, lights, etc. Semaphores are best used during the day when visibility is good, because the information conveyed by semaphores is the clearest.
At night, we mainly rely on gongs, drums and horns. However, these two things are easy to use in a calm night, but they will not work in a violent storm. At this time, we can only rely on lights. And they can only confirm the surrounding ships.
Is it still there? How far away is it?
"Tell the people holding the lamps that even if they die, they must protect the lamps well." Han Du immediately added.
The lamps on the warships are not usually lit, and will only be lit when encountering a storm. The original candle lanterns were eliminated by Han Du and replaced directly with oil lamps covered with glass. The oil was also replaced by Han Du.
It became a fire oil, and was held in a fire oil device similar to that on a hot air balloon. This kind of lamp is not afraid of wind and waves. After it is lit, as long as the fire oil is not used up, no matter how big the wind or waves are, it cannot extinguish the flame.
Of course, such a lamp must be guarded by someone. When it is needed, someone will lift the lamp to the mast, and there will be a special wooden groove to fix the lamp to the mast. And he himself will be tied to the mast.
Always be ready to apply pressure with fierce fire oil.
Woo~woo~~~woo~
The shrill sound of the horn suddenly spread from the flagship to all directions.
The fleet was prepared, and the storm came as expected.
Between the vast sea and sky, a black curtain is like the palm of the god, dividing the world into two parts. Behind the fleet is boundless light, the sun-drenched sky and earth, but in front of the fleet is
A pitch-black curtain wall connects the sky and the sea. Countless dark clouds roll over the curtain wall, with lightning and thunder.
The black curtain wall with billowing waves is like the mouth of an ancient behemoth. What it wants to devour is the sea, the sky and the earth. As for the fleet floating on the sea, it is not even a tiny insect. The black cloud curtain is slightly
As soon as it was covered, the entire fleet disappeared without a trace, and no shadow could be seen on the sea.
For Han Du and others, it was as if the world had been turned upside down in that moment, from day to night.
Han Du only felt that the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. His eyes were dark and gloomy, and even the huge waves blown by the strong wind had a cold aura.
The dense rainstorm hit them all, and Han Du and the other three were instantly soaked. The rain flowed down their hair.
The water streamed down my face, making it difficult to open my eyes.
"Quick, give the order. Now that the waves are not strong and we move forward at full speed, as long as we get through this storm, we will be safe." Han Du ordered without hesitation, regardless of the water splashing from his lips as he spoke.
The order was sent to each ship, and the oars on the lower deck were rowed as fast as possible with the joint efforts of the navy officers. In the past, one person could row the oars, but now there are four people holding on to them.
Paddling desperately to the sound of a uniform chant.
Sure enough, Han Du's prediction was right. As we got deeper into the storm, the waves stirred up by the strong wind became bigger. The huge waves easily lifted the front end of the warship high, and the next moment it hit the sea hard.
Such violent bumps back and forth made Handu feel as if he was riding on a pirate ship, which was even more exciting than the pirate ship.
Han Du's hand was originally tightly grasping the fixed net rope on the boat, but now he suddenly felt that the net rope in his hand was like a wild horse running wild and he couldn't hold it at all.
As soon as his hand was loosened, Han Du flew towards the side of the ship.
"Master Hou!" Yu Da roared angrily, let go and flew over, trying to pull Han Du back.
When Han Du flew out of the ship's side without weight, he couldn't help but panic. But then Han Du felt a sudden tightening on his waist. Under the action of the rope around his waist, Han Du suddenly folded and was thrown to the deck again.
superior.
The brief near miss almost scared Han Du out of his wits.
At this time, Yu Da also rushed to Han Du, grabbed Han Du's arm, and quickly asked: "Master Hou, how are you?"
Han Du felt that the rope around his waist was a little tight, but he did not dare to loosen it. If he loosened it at this time, he would be risking his own life.
He took a breath, waved his hand towards Yu Da and said, "I'm fine, pass on the order and rush forward at all costs. Only by getting out of the storm can you survive."
At this time, the huge fleet that originally dominated the sea was completely invisible, and only a few lights could tell Handu the location of other ships.
Another huge wave hit, and the violent sea water rushed onto the deck instantly, washing Han Du and the three of them into pieces. If the three of them were not tied with ropes, they might have been washed into the sea.
The entire ship was fluttering like a leaf under the impact of strong winds and huge waves.
Suddenly, Han Du looked up and saw that the rapidly rotating weathervane on the mast was stuck by an unknown fish.
His face suddenly changed. In a gloomy and dark scene like a storm, the most feared thing is that the ship deviates from the course. Once it deviates from the course, it is almost useless. If the ship is blown away by the storm, sooner or later the ship will be
If the wild waves lift three of them, they will surely die!
Fortunately, it is very easy to confirm the direction in a storm. You just need to rush in the direction of the storm.
"The weather vane is stuck, go and open it quickly." Han Du grabbed Yu Da beside him and pushed him, motioning for him to come up.
Yu Da looked up and immediately flew up. He grabbed the rope net with both hands and quickly went up. He knocked the fish away and the wind vane that had stopped rotating quickly started to rotate again.
Han Du took a look and felt a chill in his heart. The weather vane pointed diagonally to the left, and the course was indeed off.
"Left full rudder~"
Yu Da also saw the direction of the weather vane and immediately jumped off the mast. The moment he landed on the net, Han Du was sweating for him.
Yu Da shouted towards the stern of the ship: "Full left rudder." .??.
The stern winch made a rattling sound as the four soldiers turned it. However, this sound could not be transmitted far at all in the fierce storm, and only four people nearby could hear it.
Watching the ship correct its course little by little, Han Du was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the deck door open and Zhu Biao standing at the door.
Han Du immediately shouted anxiously and angrily: "Go back, go back quickly, it's dangerous~"
Looking at the few pro-soldiers following Zhu Biao, Han Du wanted to pull out his revolver and kill them. They allowed Zhu Biao to come to such a dangerous place. For this reason alone, they deserved death!
Zhu Biao did not look back, but grabbed a rope and put it around his waist, walked directly through the strong wind and waves, and came to Han Du's side.
Seeing Han Du staring at him angrily, Zhu Biao smiled freely, "Isn't it just a storm? Let's defeat it side by side!"
If you wait for the storm to come over and brag that you defeated it side by side, Han Du has no objection at all. But what time is it now? Now is not the time to brag. This is risking your life!
"We" Zhu Biao wanted to say something more, but the storm didn't care whether you were a commoner or a prince. The huge waves hit him head and face, and Zhu Biao shut his mouth in an instant.
The waves surged by, and Zhu Biao miraculously stood firmly on the deck, only his clothes were soaked.
Han Du was stunned for a moment, then took a look at Zhu Biao's strong figure. Sure enough, having enough weight was beneficial, especially for someone as strong as Zhu Biao.
"Chuan Gu Ming
Order, let's just say that I am alone on the ship and fighting side by side with all the soldiers, so that they must work bravely and get through this storm."
"Yes!" Tang Ding and Yu Da replied simultaneously.
Han Du was about to say something, but the next huge wave hit. Han Du instantly felt like he was flying in the storm. Unfortunately, without Haiyan's wings, it was impossible to actively fight the storm.
Instead, the whole person fell down, hit a pile of barrels with a bang, and passed out instantly.
Zhu Biao was stunned as he watched Han Du being thrown up high and then falling heavily under the pull of the rope. He didn't come back to his senses until he saw the barrel rolling around. "Quick, Yu Da, go see how Han Du is doing."
Already."
When Han Du opened his eyes again and woke up, he found that he was already lying in the cabin. Moreover, the ship was traveling extremely smoothly. Han Du did not feel the slightest bump after waiting for a long time.
Then, Han Du noticed Zhu Biao sitting in front of him and asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, have we rushed out of the storm?"
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, then burst out laughing: "Of course we got out of the storm, otherwise, would you have thought that we were all buried under the sea?"
When Han Du saw the light coming in from the door, he believed Zhu Biao's words. After a pause, he asked: "I don't know how long I was unconscious. When did we rush out of the storm?"
Zhu Biao patiently said to Han Du: "You were unconscious for two days. It took us about half a day to get out of the storm after you were unconscious. You also said you wouldn't let Gu get on the boat, but what happened? Nothing happened to Gu.
, but you actually fainted at the beginning."
Although he was laughing at Han Du, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel scared when he recalled everything that happened. The sea and sky were the same color, and the despair in his eyes was enough to drive people crazy. The waves were like mountains.
When it is smashed down, it can make people feel the terrifying power of heaven and earth.
This kind of despair and fear is not just experienced once, but has to be experienced countless times heavier than each time. Until the moment when the fleet broke out of the storm and light returned to the world, Zhu Biao was so moved that he wanted to cry.
, and instantly burst out into extreme ecstatic laughter.
After such extreme ups and downs, Zhu Biao's whole person was like a pearl born from dust, shining through thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant!
In the past, although Zhu Biao was a prince, he was still afraid of his father. But after that, Zhu Biao felt that even if he was his father, he could face it calmly and would never be afraid when he saw him again.
