Chapter 892: There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, its name is Kun (Part 2)
When the soldiers around heard Fang Jun's words, they immediately raised their arms and shouted: "Fight!"
"war!"
"war!"
Fang Junhao said angrily, "Listen, this is the voice of the navy athletes. We are never afraid, no matter it is a cunning island or a fierce shark! If you can fight when you come, you will win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
The old man felt a rush of blood rush into his brain, and the impulse that had subsided for decades suddenly surged up, as if he had returned to the prosperous days of fighting and fighting!
"I was recruited by the former Sui Dynasty in the past, and followed General Laihu'er to conquer Goguryeo. Later, he fought under Lin Shihong's tent. There were navy troops before and after, but I have never seen a navy army like you! Since the Marquis is so heroic,
Soaring to the sky, the old man will accompany the Marquis for a while, as long as the Marquis does not despise the old man and his old age, it will be fine!"
Fang Jun was surprised, Xiaoyou, this is still an old revolutionary...
"If there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure, especially when marching and fighting! Besides, you are as tall as you are, but not as strong as a young man. I can't ask for more!"
The old man was overjoyed. He waved to his children and grandchildren from the side of the boat and shouted: "I will follow the Marquis to kill the shark. You will go home quickly!"
Sun was also obedient there, and the small sampan obediently turned the rudder and sailed toward the bay.
With the old man guiding the way, there was no need to search the whole sea. The four warships sailed quickly towards the sea area designated by the old man.
After a while, a huge object that looked like a small mountain emerged from the water. Then, a column of water shot straight into the sky, and only splashed down in mid-air, scattering a cloud of water mist.
Mother!
Where the hell is a shark?
This is a whale!
Fang Jun shouted excitedly: "Drive over, drive over, get rich, get rich!"
The old man's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly grabbed Fang Jun and said with a sad face: "Master Hou, that's not a shark, that's a killer whale that's ten times more ferocious than a shark!"
Fang Jun scratched his head and looked at the whale in the distance that kept jumping up and down, jumping up and down having a great time, and said curiously: "Killer whale? What the hell! It's obviously a blue whale, okay? I don't have a good eye when it comes to this.
Make it happen!”
There were so many of these things in aquariums in later generations, how could they be killer whales?
As a result, the old man was confused and said: "Blue whale? What is a blue whale? We all call this big fish a killer whale. It is as ferocious as a tiger. It can break a small boat with just a lift of its tail. Sometimes it gets mad and uses its mouth.
He has sharp teeth that bite the boat, and the boat will break into pieces if he gets off it..."
have to!
Fang Jun put his hand on his forehead and finally understood that people these days are terrified when they see huge whales, so they call all whales killer whales. It has nothing to do with what kind of whale they are...
If it were really a killer whale, Fang Jun might still shy away. After all, that thing has a violent temper and is difficult to deal with. But blue whales are big and gentle, making them the best targets for hunting!
How can you let go of the meat when it reaches your mouth?
Fang Jun pointed to the whale that was spouting water in the distance: "Catch up!"
The military orders were like a mountain. Although the soldiers on the several warships were all frightened, they did not dare to disobey the military orders. They quickly adjusted the angle of the sails. The four warships drew a bowl arc trajectory on the sea, heading towards the whales.
Drive in the direction.
The old man had been so excited just now that he almost peed. He kept chattering to dissuade Fang Jun: "Master Hou, can we not go? That killer whale is the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King. He is the one in the sea.
It's a god, and you can eat all kinds of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs with it. How can we, mortals, afford it? Just listen to me, how about we go back? This thing is so powerful that we can't fight it!
"
Fang Jun was helplessly entangled by him. He pointed at Yu Minglei who was watching the whale in the distance with great interest, and said: "You are worried that you will not be able to fight the whale in the mortal body, but we have a semi-immortal here! Don't worry.
, this person is just one step away from being able to fly up and become an immortal in the daytime, and he will be in the sky right before his eyes, he is just a fish, nothing to worry about!"
Yu Minglei listened to Fang Jun's nonsense and rolled his eyes angrily, not bothering to argue with him.
You just went to heaven...
However, several people did not mean to laugh at the old man.
In this age limited by science and technology, people have very little knowledge. Often many people have never left the villages where they were born, and they die without knowing what kind of people are there in the county where they live.
Without knowledge, you will use mythology to explain some phenomena and things that you cannot understand, and once again express your fear of unknown things.
The whale was getting closer and closer, but the whale didn't feel the imminent danger at all. It was still churning in the sea water, rising to the surface from time to time, spraying a high water column.
According to Fang Jun's knowledge, there should be a huge shoal of fish nearby. This whale is obviously hunting. It stirs up the sea water first, frightening the fish, and then the fish will run away in one direction, with its big mouth open.
His mouth is waiting for the silly fish to throw themselves into the trap and get into his mouth, and then squirt out the seawater he drank into his mouth, while the fish swallows it into his stomach...
Fang Jun ordered people to take out all the dozens of hemp ropes used to tie cats in the cabin and tie them to the tails of the arrows of three eight-oxen crossbows. This kind of hemp rope is made of wild hemp. The mature hemp is first cut from
After harvesting from the wild, soak it in running water for about five days. Then take it out, peel off the skin of the hemp, and discard the stems. The skin of the hemp is fibrous tissue, which is extremely tough. Then remove the skin one by one and make sure it is not too dry.
, and it should not be too wet. Then rub the hemp fibers together one by one to form a hemp rope.
The hemp ropes used on warships are all made of the finest wild hemp, and are as thick as a child's arm. This hemp rope itself is already very strong, and when exposed to water, the internal tissue becomes tighter and tougher.
.
This piece of hemp rope, which is about 20 meters long, is worth seven to eight hundred yuan. It would take a family of three to work for a year to make such a piece.
Again, the Navy is a money-burning thing. Nothing on board or off the boat is cheap...
The whale is getting closer and closer, and you can almost see every detail on it. The whale is probably full, or maybe it is tired from tossing. It takes a lot of energy to stir the sea water like it just did, and it is in good shape at this moment.
Floating leisurely on the sea, from time to time he would put his head under the sea water to make bubbles...
This blue whale is not big, only about ten meters in length. It should be a cub. This is best. The strength of the cub is limited, so it may not be so difficult to pick up. If it is a huge one
For adult blue whales, Fang Jun will decisively give up the hunting plan.
Of course, adult whales will not go to shallow seas to hunt for food.
Four warships approached it in a fan shape.
Liu Rengui stood behind the Eight Ox Crossbow with a wooden hammer in his hand, staring at the whale emerging from the water in front of him.
"How's it going? Are you sure you can hit it?" Fang Jun watched from the side.
The old man also gave up trying to persuade. These guys are so bold. Let alone a whale, I'm afraid even if the Sea Dragon King comes out, they will have to fight!
Hearing Fang Jun's question, the old man interjected: "It doesn't matter even if you miss. This kind of big whale is actually smart. If you shoot it a few arrows, even if you miss, it will never appear here again after being frightened." You have a good memory in the sea area!"
The warship slowly slowed down, and the whale in front seemed to be aware of the approaching crisis. Its huge tail slapped on the water surface, causing a wave of waves, and it wanted to dive deep into the sea and leave.
At this moment, Liu Rengui exhaled and shouted: "hit!"
The wooden hammer in his hand suddenly hit the mechanism of the Baniu Crossbow.
The Eight Ox Crossbow, also known as the "Three-bow Bed Crossbow", uses hard wood as the shaft and an iron piece as the feather. It is known as "One Gun, Three Swords and Arrows" in the world. The bed crossbow can also fire "stepping arrows". It is spectacular when fired. The arrows are like javelins. When fired at close range, they can be directly nailed into the city wall. When fired in salvo, rows of stilt arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall, allowing siege soldiers to climb up. And up.
The eight-niu crossbow arrows on Galen's ship were specially made by Fangjia Iron Factory. They had huge barbs and shone in the sun, which was very cold.
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and the sound of the powerful bow string shook people's hearts slightly. Three arrows flew out from the string, and flew towards the whale not far ahead with the hemp rope at the tail.
