Bai Xiaowen suddenly trembled: "The real Japanese are really cruel and abnormal, and they cannot be treated with common sense."
"What's wrong?"
"The Japanese pirate, Arima Jiro, the butler under Ye Mazi's command under my control... was beheaded by Matsuura Shinkuro." Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi was surprised: "Did he see through it?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "The last order given by Matsuura Shinkuro was to pursue. He should have believed what Arimajiro said. However, what Arimajiro said made him hate us so much, and coupled with Arimajiro's own incompetence, so
Xin Jiulang was furious and killed him to vent his anger."
"This is so unreasonable. If we hadn't seen through it, in the eyes of Matsuura Shinkuro, Arimajiro should be regarded as a friendly soldier who had just escaped from the enemy camp. How could he kill him on the spot?"
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief: "This may be related to cultural differences. Matsuura Shinkuro, a reckless man, killed people so recklessly, which actually caused a slight setback in my plan... I originally wanted Arima Jiro to sneak into Shinkuro
On Kuro's flagship, not only can we determine the location of the pursuers, but we can also look for opportunities to destroy them inside the enemy. Now that Arima Jiro is dead, we have lost an internal agent."
"What should I do?" Li Shuyi asked worriedly.
"It's just a small setback and does not affect the overall situation. When Matsuura Shinkuro went to sea to chase me, his defeat was already doomed." Bai Xiaowen walked out of the cabin, looked at the rolling sea water, and briefly calculated the wind speed, current and ship speed.
, set the parameters, and calculated the time for the opponent to catch up.
"Sail to Ningbo!" Bai Xiaowen suddenly ordered.
"Yes!" Zhang Ting, who was in charge of the command, shouted, "Thirty right rudder!"
The command of thirty right rudder was repeated by the helmsman again, and a creaking sound sounded. The two warships slightly adjusted their course and cut through the waves in the blue sea.
This is also the reason why Bai Xiaowen wants to borrow soldiers from the Ming army. He himself does not know how to operate this kind of Ming Dynasty warships. Without borrowing troops, even if he has a ship, he can only stare at it. How can he sail on this sea and lure the enemy deep into the sea?
Planning to kill the enemy chief?
With Zhang Ting and other well-informed military captains serving as captains, Bai Xiaowen only needed to tell where he wanted to go, and Zhang Ting would naturally command the fleet to arrive.
"Bai Xiaozhenren, they have appeared!" Zhang Ting used a monocular telescope, which is what the Ming army commander called the "thousand-mile telescope", to look in the direction of Penghu Island and warned at the same time.
"How many ships came?"
"No less than ten ships, probably close to a thousand people!"
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Okay, I understand...the two ships are side by side. Only the sailors who can drive the ship are left on the flagship, and everyone else goes to the second ship!"
"yes!"
Bai Xiaowen's order was efficiently executed by the soldiers. The Ming army sailors on his flagship all showed superb water warfare skills. They all used their hooks and jumped to help the second warship.
On the flagship, only a dozen sailors were left to operate the ship, including three captains, including Zhang Ting, Yuan Yuan and Zhou Zhan.
"Sir, may I ask, why do you want to send the sailors to the second ship? We are about to face a big war, and the combat strength of the two ships should not be too disparate. Even if you need to adjust the personnel, your flagship should have the majority of the soldiers.
Protecting the general's safety is the top priority," Zhang Ting said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "No, this flagship will soon become the main battlefield for the decisive battle between me and the bandit leader. I'm afraid it will inevitably be destroyed in the end. This is the pirate ship I captured from the Japanese pirate Chen Duyan. It is not a pity if it is damaged. The other ship
, but it was borrowed from Governor Hu. If it sinks, Governor Hu's face may not look good. Anyway, my final plan is to just have one boat."
Zhang Ting seemed to understand but still nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Xiaowen looked around at the dozen or so Ming soldiers remaining on the flagship and said, "There is no need to panic for those of you left behind. You can all survive. And I will not take any of the credit for wiping out the real Japanese in this battle. I will give you all the profits.
Let you also gain a wife and a shadow."
Bai Xiaowen's reputation in the anti-Japanese Ming army has reached the level of respect. What he said is still very powerful in the ears of these Ming army soldiers. If another person says the same thing, they may not believe it, but what Bai Xiaowen said
, but it successfully inspired their morale.
"Sir, Matsuura Shinkuro is catching up!" Zhang Ting said loudly.
Without having to look thousands of miles away, Bai Xiaowen could already see Matsuura Shinkuro standing on the bow of the ship in the distance, and could even feel the strong murderous aura in his eyes.
"Zhang Ting, order the two ships to disperse left and right and move forward in a straight line." Bai Xiaowen said.
Although Zhang Ting didn't understand what he meant, he still obeyed and shouted the order to turn the helm.
The two boats that were originally side by side spread out to the left and right like separated mandarin ducks and accelerated.
…
When Bai Xiaowen saw Matsuura Shinkuro, Matsuura Shinkuro naturally saw him.
"Keep chasing, speed up! If I catch up with these pigs, I will take off that damn Akito's head with my own hands!" Matsuura Shinkuro shouted, adding in his heart that he must take back his beloved sword!
"Sir, the opponent's two ships are separated! Which one should we pursue?" asked the helmsman of the Japanese pirate flagship.
Matsuura Shinkuro narrowed his eyes: "Is this... the gecko's tail-cutting tactic? It's ridiculous that these Akito really think they can escape."
In his mind, he was thinking about which boat his beloved sword would be on.
Logically speaking, his favorite sword should be on Bai Xiaowen's flagship.
However, will the other party cheat, hide his favorite knife in another boat, scatter and escape, so as to use it as a bargaining chip to blackmail him in the future?
"Our number is ten times that of the enemy. If they disperse, we will divide our forces to pursue them!" Matsuura Shinkuro sneered, "I will take half of the ship to chase the opponent's leader. Sisuke, Teasuke, you take the rest
Let’s go down the fleet and chase the opponent’s second ship! We must not let them escape!”
Matsuura Shisuke said worriedly: "The enemy has such a small number, and they actually divide their troops. It's suspicious everywhere. Mr. Shinkuro, I think we should ignore the others and concentrate on chasing the opponent's leader."
"Don't be so cowardly, Sisuke!" Matsuura Shinkuro was a little annoyed, "We have so many samurai, but the other side only has one or two hundred people!"
There are over a thousand Japanese pirates brought out by Matsuura Shinkuro this time. Most of them are Japanese pirate elites who have seen bloodshed. They are quite powerful. Even if the troops are divided, there are only 500 people on each side.
A group of one or two hundred people would definitely have a crushing advantage.
"Okay. I can use Gao Tianyuan's divine power to speed up our fleet. Leader Xinkuro, we must intercept them as soon as possible and join them immediately after a quick battle!"
Matsuura Sisuke straightened his tall hat and waved his white paper fan. In the sky, dark clouds began to gather slowly, and wisps of cold wind blew.
The sails of a dozen Japanese ships seemed to be pushed by an invisible force and became bulging, and the speed of the ships obviously accelerated a lot.
"good!"
Matsuura Shinkuro was overjoyed. He immediately waved his hand and ordered the two speedboats to take a diagonal route to intercept Bai Xiaowen's flagship. He took the other three warships and chased them tail to tail.
The fleets of Bai Xiaowen and the Matsuura family originally formed a straight line one behind the other. However, Bai Xiaowen ordered to disperse, and the two ships sailed to the left and right, forming a "T" shape with the Matsuura family fleet behind them.
right angle.
At that moment, Matsuura Shinkuro bit the tail of Bai Xiaowen's flagship and continued to pursue along the T-shaped straight line. However, the two clippers took the hypotenuse of the right triangle and circled forward to intercept Bai Xiaowen's flagship.
As long as Bai Xiaowen's flagship can be delayed for a while, Matsuura Shinkuro can successfully catch up and avenge his past humiliation.
Matsuura Shinkuro's plan was very successful. He could see through the telescope that Bai Xiaowen's flagship had been intercepted by two speedboats. The brave and fearless Japanese samurai had begun to collide with the ships and join gangs. Bai Xiaowen's flagship was at a standstill.
!
Alas, Matsuura Shinkuro abandoned Thousand Miles Watch and shouted in an excited tone: "Go ahead at full speed!"
After a short journey, Matsuura Shinkuro's three ships finally caught up with Bai Xiaowen's flagship. The collision between the ships made people almost unsteady. Then, thick wooden boards were laid up, and groups of Japanese troops
The samurai stepped on the wooden planks and charged towards Bai Xiaowen's flagship!
Matsuura Shinkuro, on the other hand, with almost boiling murderous intent, immediately activated the Ninja Escape skill, touched the hilt of the "borrowed" replacement katana, and quietly boarded Bai Xiaowen's flagship, preparing to
Give Bai Xiaowen an unforgettable lesson!
However, just after the three ships collided with Bai Xiaowen's flagship, Bai Xiaowen, Zhang Ting and others, who were fighting as a team to resist the Japanese pirates, ran along the side of the ship to the bottom cabin as if they had made an appointment in advance.
"This group of cowardly Akito just ran away when the situation turned against them. Hmm, where can they escape to on this sea?" Matsuura Shinkuro thought to himself.
"Chief! The leader's sword!" someone exclaimed.
Matsuura Shinkuro, who was in the invisible state of Ninjutsu, heard everyone's exclamations. When he looked up, he was almost mad. The family heirloom sword he loved so much was nailed to the height of the mast, and the scabbard was unknown.
It's really hard to find if you don't look carefully.
In order to be on the safe side, Matsuura Shinkuro did not show his face. Instead, he ordered a Japanese pirate to climb up the mast and take off his sword.
"That group of Akitos have occupied the bottom cabin and are probably going to fight to the death." Matsuura Shinkuro was not there, but his voice echoed above the deck. It had a vague feeling, and others could not determine his location through the voice.
This is also the power of the Endurance Escape skill.
"Only by killing them can we preserve the honor of the Matsuura family warriors! Why are you still standing there? Go to the bottom of the cabin, smash their hatches, and dig out those humble rats!" Matsuura Shinkuro gave the order.
Groups of elite Japanese pirates howled and rushed towards the bottom cabin.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
There was a rumble, followed by a vibration of the ship's hull, followed by a thrilling explosion!
Bai Xiaowen's flagship fell apart almost instantly under the explosion of a huge amount of gunpowder. Then, a terrifying wave of air blew away, and each of the elite Japanese pirates, including Xin Jiulang in the "endurance escape" state, were
It was blown away like a piece of paper.
Of course, this kind of explosion is very fatal to ordinary people, but for these elite pirates, they will only suffer a certain amount of injuries. As for the senior leader Matsuura Shinkuro, he did not even suffer much damage from the explosion and impact.
He just looked a little embarrassed.
"Gunpowder to blow up the ship? Are those Akito guys crazy?" Matsuura Shinkuro cursed. However, a bad feeling flashed through his heart. Where did those Akito guys get the gunpowder? And it was destroyed instantly.
A huge amount of gunpowder for a big ship!
Huge water ripples spread, and the surrounding Japanese warships were pushed back by the huge waves and rolled back more than ten feet.
After the hull exploded, Matsuura Shinkuro's escape state dissipated and he fell into the water.
Wow!
An iron chain whizzed towards him. It was obvious that this iron chain had been prepared for a long time and hit Matsuura Shinkuro with great precision, causing a certain amount of penetrating damage to him.
It's Fatty the Stitch Monster.
When the Meat Hook skill is activated, after hitting the target, it will drag the target back, but only after passing the strength judgment.
Although Matsuura Shinkuro is an agile boss, his strength value is still higher than that of Fatty, the suture monster. He sneered, grabbed the chain with one hand, and pulled hard, like a tug-of-war, forcefully pulling away Fatty's huge body at the other end.
The body was pulled over!
Hooray!
Fatty's fat body drew a parabola in the air.
However, Matsuura Shinkuro missed one thing, that is, he was in the water at this time, and his movements, especially his steps, were not as flexible as on land.
Originally, he planned to drag the Stitch Monster over, take a step back to get out of the way, and then use a domineering sword-drawing technique to kill it instantly.
But in the water, Matsuura Shinkuro's habitual step back did not change his position, he just swam back less than half a foot.
The fat guy with the suture monster's huge ass was like a millstone, and he sat down with his head in front.
Boom, Mount Tai is overwhelming!
The fat boy made a huge splash and threw Matsuura Shinkuro into the water. In an instant, it was a foot deep! Then, the fat boy's thick arms tightly hugged Matsuura Shinkuro, and one person and one monster fell down at the same time.
sink.
Matsuura Shinkuro tried to break free, but the fat boy not only held him with his hands, but also kept the chains wrapped around him tightly. When he broke free, he found that the fat man in front of him was not as weak as he appeared.
The strength value is quite high, and it was impossible to break free for a while.
"Just now, this monster flew over after being pulled by me. Could it be a trick?" Matsuura Shinkuro had a bad premonition in his mind.
This is exactly what happened. In the tug-of-war just now, it seemed that Fatty tried his best to drag Matsuura Shinkuro over. In fact, Bai Xiaowen knew that this was impossible, so when Matsuura Shinkuro tried to pull back, Fatty
Zai simply relaxed his strength and was smoothly pulled away.
A senior leader can hold his breath underwater for a short period of time, lasting ten minutes without any problem. Pirate bosses like Matsuura Shinkuro can even hold their breath for more than twenty minutes, so he did not panic, and kept kicking the water with his legs, trying to
