Under the North Cliff, because it is a sheltered place, most of the ships on the island dock here. There are thousands of pirate boats. Except for a few places with rough waves, the rest of the islands are scattered here and there.
There are boats moored.
Liang Qi went down to the cliff and walked not far along the cliff when he saw two boats under the mangroves on the shore. Liang Qi chose a boat with a sail to represent the turtle floating in the water for a long time.
A mountain bandit, he naturally knows the danger of driving a small boat in the wind and waves. He also knows the consequences if he puts up the sail. But he has no choice, because in order to catch up with the officers and soldiers who have turned around and evacuated, he must win.
A handful, otherwise it would be impossible to catch up.
Liang Qi was not afraid of death, but when Lin Jue and Gao Muqing argued about who would take the risk to go to sea, neither of them asked him to take the risk. This made Liang Qi feel deeply. Although Liang Qi was a bandit, he was a righteous person.
He respects others as much as he respects him. This kind of person is most likely to hurt others. What's more, from last night to now, he followed Lin Jue and Gao Muqing through life and death, and did what he did
It was a big thing that he had never done in his life, and he had already admired Lin Jue's courage in his heart. As a scholar who did not know martial arts, Lin Jue's courage exceeded his knowledge. Liang Qi was naturally unwilling to be inferior to others.
He didn't want Lin Jue to take risks, but he hid aside. So he acted resolutely, regardless of life and death.
The boat quickly left the shore, and when the sails were raised, it was even faster with the help of strong wind. Liang Qi also felt the power of the sea wind and waves. The boat was not so much sailing on the sea as it was jumping on the sea.
.When a big wave comes, the boat flies up into the air, then jumps up and jumps to the top of another wave driven by the wind. This feeling is simply terrifying.
When the waves surged, huge water walls about ten feet high were erected in all directions of the boat. The next moment, the boat suddenly seemed to be on the top of the peaks. Liang Qi had never experienced this kind of experience. Although he was on Guishan Island
In the village, Liang Qi should be one of the people with the best boating skills and the best water skills. Because as a guard of the old village master, one not only needs to be good at martial arts, but these two are also necessary skills. But at this moment, Liang Qi
Qi felt that all his boating skills were of no use and that his life could only rely on God's care. He could only rely on instinct and mechanical paddling, without knowing whether the operation was right or wrong.
In any case, the sails full of wind led the small boat to the northwest direction quickly on the sea. The officers and soldiers who turned around did not dare to raise the sails of the large ship. They only relied on manpower to control the direction and the power of the waves to leave.
This will be more stable. Because of this, the distance between the small boat and the large ship of officers and soldiers is quickly shortened.
…
The fleet of officers and soldiers had completely turned around, and the rear team became the front team, preparing to retreat to Neptune Island to escape the wind and waves. Sitting solemnly in the cabin of the empty dragon-headed ship, his mood was complicated.
He had already thought about avoiding failure from the beginning, but this time the bandits were forced to announce their retreat in this way, which made him feel very panicked. As a perfectionist, he agreed to come to suppress the bandits, and then
He didn't want to leave Hangzhou but leave behind the stubborn problem of pirates, which could not be cured. Hangzhou under his rule was in good order in all aspects, but he could not let go of this. Therefore, he agreed to come to suppress the bandits.
But now with this result, Yan Zhengshen has added new obstacles. Although it seems that the officers and soldiers are victorious, in fact it gives people an extremely uncomfortable sense of frustration. Moreover, Lin Jue is still on Peach Blossom Island, and he has to give up on him
, This also made Yan Zhengsheng very unhappy. "Master Yan, Master Yan, something strange happened, come up and have a look." Wang Kai's voice came from the stairs leading to the top of the ship building. The young prince, Song Yanping, Wang Kai and others
Everyone climbed to the top of the ship to observe the evacuation of the fleet, but Yan Zhengshen did not follow.
"What?" Yan Zheng asked as he stood up.
"Come up and take a look before we talk." Wang Kai shouted.
Yan Zhengzhen frowned and walked up the stairs. After passing the second floor, he climbed up the wooden ladder to the top of the ship building. As soon as he climbed up, the strong wind mixed with raindrops almost made him breathless.
"Don't help Master Yan yet. Master Yan, it's windy and rainy here, and the ground is slippery, so be careful." Little Prince Guo Kun turned his head and shouted at the railing in front.
The two guards hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Yan solemnly waved his hands to stop him and walked to the railing carefully.
"What happened?" asked seriously.
"Sir, please look at the sea over there." Wang Kai stretched out his hand and pointed toward the sea in the distance.
Yan Zhengshen shielded himself from the wind and rain with his hands, and squinted his eyes towards the sea. There were rough waves in the distance of several large ships, and he couldn't see anything.
"What? I didn't see anything." He shouted solemnly.
"Master Yan is getting older and his eyesight is poor. Master Yan, look at the back of the last warship. There is a small black spot. Do you see it? It is a small boat with a sail. It is really life-threatening.
Are the pirates trying to chase us? I think they are crazy." Guo Kun laughed loudly.
Yan Zhengsheng ignored Guo Kun's teasing and squinted carefully. Sure enough, he saw the small boat in the valley of the mountains and waves. Just as Guo Kun said, the small boat was really sailing among the waves.
"Strange, Hai Dongqing is not so stupid. This boat is really weird. There is really a person on it." Song Yanping frowned.
Yan Zheng frowned and thought about it, but he had no clue. Everyone silently watched the small boat rising and falling in the wind and waves, knowing in their hearts that the small boat would not last long. Sure enough, just a moment later, the small boat was thrown high.
On the sea surface, it was never seen again after falling. It had obviously capsized.
"It's dead. Several ships as big as ours have been overturned. Don't even think about small ships. Are all the pirates crazy and do such crazy things? Everyone, let's also
There is no need to be exposed to the wind and rain here. Let’s go down to the boat hall to drink tea. The fleet has all turned around and will arrive at Neptune Island in half an hour." Guo Kun said.
Song Yanping and Wang Kai nodded in agreement. Everyone headed towards the stairs going down. Wang Kai said solemnly to Yan who was in a daze: "Master Yan, let's go down."
Yan Zhengsun didn't answer, just stood there in a daze. Wang Kai thought for a while, lowered his head and followed Guo Kun and Song Yanping. Suddenly, Yan Zhengsun shouted: "Quickly give the order to save people."
"What?" Guo Kun, Song Yanping and everyone turned around in surprise.
"Quickly order the rescue. That small boat... must be the boat that Lin Jue and the others used to escape from Peach Blossom Island. How could we not save them? Who would leave the island by boat at this time? It must be Lin Jue and the others who saw us giving up attacking the island.
They chose to escape. Apart from that, what other way for them to survive? Hurry, give the order." Yan Zhengsheng was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
After several people said it seriously, they immediately felt that it made sense. Lin Jue, who was forced to flee by boat, was probably on the small boat. Wang Kai immediately gave the order, and the soldiers raised flags to notify the rear boat, and the order was quickly conveyed.
Go down. Several people returned to the boat rail and watched eagerly. Soon after, the two warships behind them began to turn around and headed towards the place where the boat capsized. While waiting anxiously, the signal message came,
The person who fell into the water has been rescued.
"Stop the boat and wait for them to send the person here. I wonder if it is Lin Jue." Yan Zhengsu said with great joy.
The entire fleet moored, and soon after, the warship that rescued the man who fell into the water came with difficulty and docked on the dragon-headed ship. Several soldiers stood by the side of the ship and supported a man who was soaked and had long hair covering his face.
, the man seemed to have choked on the water, his head was hanging down, and he could only stand by relying on the support of the people around him.
After finally sending the man across the boat, Yan Zheng stepped forward and lifted up the man's long hair. After seeing the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but be disappointed. That was not Lin Jue at all.
The man was in a semi-conscious state and could not speak at all. Everyone hurriedly took him to the cabin, covered him with a dry blanket, and poured hot tea for him to drink. The man suddenly vomited several large mouthfuls of sea water.
Then he opened his eyes.
"Who are you? Why did you leave the island in a boat to chase us?" Yan asked solemnly.
"Where is this?" the man answered.
"This is a big ship for officers and soldiers. Who are you?" Yan asked again seriously.
"A large ship of officers and soldiers? That's great. It can be regarded as... catching up." Which one is the young prince? Which one is Mr. Yan? Who is Mr. Song from Ning Haijun?" Liang Qi burst into tears and shouted repeatedly.
road.
…
Above the northwest pier of Taohua Island, Hai Dongqing and others paid close attention to the movements of the fleet of officers and soldiers. When the small boat capsized in the sea, Hai Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief. They also saw two warships going to the rescue.
situation, but Hai Dongqing believes that no one can survive such a long time after falling into the water.
However, half an hour later, the officers and men's ship made new movements. Under the gaze of Hai Dongqing and others, the entire fleet suddenly began to turn around and slowly approached Peach Blossom Island again.
"Holy Duke, something serious has happened." Xu Xing said softly.
Hai Dongqing's face turned livid, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Has the ropeway been built? Have the supplies started to be shipped here? Who can tell me."
"Holy Duke, the ropeway is almost ready. It's just a little bit better. It's almost there, it's almost there." A leader stammered in reply.
"It's almost...as fast as your mother's thigh...it's too late." Hai Dongqing cursed.
Xu Xing hurriedly said: "Shenggong, don't panic, we can't shake the morale of the army at this time."
Hai Dongqing cursed angrily: "If you shake the morale of the army, everyone is a waste. Good, good, they still want to attack, thinking that we are easy to bully. So what if we don't have arrows to defend? What if we have a head-on confrontation? I am Peach Blossom Island
Brother is not a bear bag. Come here, mobilize all the people here immediately, we will fight them to the death. If you want to occupy my Peach Blossom Island, ask the guy in my hand, ask my Haidongqing brothers if they agree."
"Yes, ask us if we agree. Brothers, fight with them." The leaders around them howled. Tens of thousands of pirate soldiers soon started shouting at random.
Just as the island was screaming, more than a hundred warships of the Ning Navy were approaching Taohua Island with fierce momentum. The thunderous war drums resounded across the sea, and an attack was launched from the dragon-headed ship.
With the flag of the flag and the sound of war drums, more than a dozen large ships took the lead and charged towards the dock with the help of the swell.
