The Japanese people on the other side were far less leisurely than them.
Seeing the Tang warship getting closer and closer, Inukai Oi was frightened and sent out another suicide squad, but it still had no effect.
There were only fifty men left around him, and just when he was about to send out a death squad, Kuzora Ryuuji said in a deep voice:
"General, don't waste any more precious combat power. When their ship approaches later, let's fight them to the death!"
"But our arrows have all been used up before, how can we fight them to the death?" Inukai Oi had completely lost his calm and looked anxious.
Kukora Ryuuji unsheathed his long sword, chipped a piece of wood from the wall, and said, "Just use this as a shield."
Inukai'o looked at the building boat getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid there are more than 500 people on it."
Jiukong Longer said expressionlessly: "That's easy. Each of us can just kill ten Tang people."
Kuzora Ryuji's calmness infected Inukai Oyori, and he finally regained some of his calmness.
Suddenly, Inukai Nanyi remembered something, turned to look at Helan Minzhi, and said: "Have you said before that this ship is here for you?"
He Lan Minzhi raised his head and said: "Yes, the general on the ship is Wu Chengsi, and he is here to capture me!"
Inukai Oi was surprised and happy. What was surprising was that the person chasing him turned out to be Wu Chengsi, and he was happy that the target was not him.
He immediately ordered people to put He Lanmin on the stern of the boat so that the people on the boat behind could see clearly.
Wu Chengsi was really surprised when he saw He Lanmin. He did not expect that He Lanmin, who had finally been let go, would be captured by the Japanese.
At this moment, there was a pop, and Helan Minzhi, whose hands and feet were tied, was thrown into the water by the Japanese.
"What are they doing?" Zhugenan asked in surprise.
Han Cheng touched his chin and analyzed: "They may think that we are here for He Lanmin, and they want to use this method to stop us from pursuing him."
Wu Chengsi was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a small boat on the sea. His heart moved and he had an idea.
…
After falling into the water, Helan Minzhi felt like he was falling into the abyss.
The bright sea surface became farther and farther away, and darkness gradually enveloped him.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he would not be able to escape death.
Just when he was desperate, he saw a black shadow approaching him in the water.
That's a person.
A feeling of suffocation came over him, and Helan Minzhi lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, Helan Minzhi found himself on a small boat.
He knew this boat. It was the boat owned by Captain Qin and Captain Lu.
There was a person standing on the bow of the boat, with his back leaning against him. Under the dusk light, his side face looking at the sea looked very lonely.
"General Li!" He Lan Minzhi exclaimed, "Did you save me?"
Li Duozuo nodded and said, "Yes."
"You...you saved me, how can you explain to Wu Chengsi?"
Li Duozuo shook his head and sighed: "How else can I explain that I, the Qianniu Guards Zhonglang, have finally reached the end of my career?"
He Lanmin stared at Li Duozuo for a long time and murmured: "Why are you willing to do this for me?"
Li Duozuo looked into the distance and said leisurely: "You don't have to think too much, I just want to repay Mrs. Wei for saving her life."
He Lan Minzhi was filled with emotion and said: "Then what are Brother Li's plans for the future?"
Li Duozuo shook his head, looking extremely lonely.
Helan Min patted his chest and said, "Brother Li, don't worry. Although Helan can't make Brother Li as prosperous as before, he can still ensure that Brother Li will have no worries about food and clothing in the future and live a free and happy life!"
"I don't want to be a pirate." Li Duozuo refused.
"Not being a pirate!"
Li Duozuo turned his head, slightly confused.
He Lan Minzhi walked up to Li Duozuo and said seriously: "General Li, although I can't let you be a general anymore, as long as you are willing, I can help you find the official position of a school captain!"
"Where is the captain?"
"Navy Commander's Mansion!"
Li Duozuo shook his head: "That's impossible. Wu Chengsi is about to take over as the Commander-in-Chief of Yangzhou, and the Navy Commander's Mansion is under his jurisdiction. How can I become a captain?"
He Lanminzhi smiled and said: "Although Wu Chengsi is the governor of Yangzhou, with his status, it is impossible to stay in Yangzhou for too long."
"The local forces here are very complicated. There is also the King of Yue and the King of Han. They can't deal with it in a short time and have no time to care about us."
"Besides, there are dozens of captains in the Navy Commander's Mansion. He can't summon all of them for a meeting."
Li Duozuo probed: "Do you know anyone in the Navy Commander's Mansion?"
He Lanminzhi smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't ask any more questions. Anyway, I can help you find a position as a school captain."
Li Duozuo nodded and said: "Now that things have happened, I have no choice. I will listen to you."
He Lanmin said word by word: "Brother Li, you will be my best brother from now on. If He Lan eats it, you will eat it."
"And don't look at how prosperous Wu Chengsi is now, he may not be the one who laughs last in the future!"
Li Duozuo nodded and said nothing more.
He Lan Minzhi looked at the sea and asked: "Brother Li, how long have I been unconscious?"
"Less than tea time."
He Lan Minzhi nodded and said: "That's okay. It will take Wu Chengsi at least a quarter of an hour to catch up with those Japanese people. Let's take the opportunity to leave here."
Li Duozuo was from the north and could not control a boat, so the sails of the boat were never raised. However, Helan Minzhi learned how to sail within this six months.
Raising the sail, adjusting the direction, the boat headed southwest.
…
On the other side, on the deck of Tang Junlou's ship, Inukai Nanyi knelt on the ground with his hands behind his back, his face full of panic and fear.
The Japanese man in white clothes was also kneeling on the bow deck like him.
"You cowardly Tang people, who can only use some despicable methods, dare to fight to the death with us in an upright and upright manner!" Inukai Oi hissed.
Zhuge Nan flew up and kicked him, roaring: "I treated you as a short and ignorant boy, but now you still dare to speak harshly."
Inukai Oui roared angrily: "You bunch of hateful Tang people, kill me if you have the guts, don't even insult me!"
Zhuge Nan couldn't bear his little temper, and he immediately started punching and kicking Inukai Nōyi until he was beaten into a pig's head.
Inukayoi curled up on the ground, biting his lips tightly, not daring to say any more harsh words.
Wu Chengsi looked at Inukai Onoi and said coldly: "What is an upright battle to the death?"
Inukai Oi struggled to sit up and said: "It's very simple. You and I have a real fight. If you can defeat me, I will be convinced!"
"You mean, if we both hold weapons and fight against each other, then that means it's fair and square?"
"Not bad." Inukai Oui raised his head again.
Wu Chengsi said: "According to your statement, I have defeated you openly and squarely, so why bother trying again?"
Inukaio Yi said loudly: "Nonsense, you just relied on the size of the ship and sunk our ship. How can you be considered upright?"
Not long ago, Wu Chengsi's large ship caught up with the Japanese ship. In a normal naval battle, the two ships would line up side by side, shoot at each other for a while, and then send people to attack the other ship.
The Japanese people were ready to wait for the two ships to line up and then jump onto the Tang army's ship to fight.
Unexpectedly, the Tang army did not follow the routine at all, and directly took advantage of the size of the ship to ram it over and sink the Japanese boat.
Wu Chengsi did not let go of the Japanese who entered the water. He sent people to shoot them with random arrows first, and then went into the water to fight and killed all the Japanese.
Only Inukai Ooi and the Japanese man in white were fished out.
Wu Chengsi asked coldly: "What is a ship?"
Inukai Oi was stunned, not knowing what he meant by this.
"Can't you answer? Then let me tell you that ships are weapons and tools of war."
"The weapons of our Tang Dynasty are better than yours, so you will lose. This is an upright duel! Do you understand?" Wu Chengsi said solemnly.
"No, no! This is not an upright duel! No!"
Wu Chengsi said coldly: "When you compete with others, if your sword is not as sharp as others, does that mean you are not upright?"
Inukai Oi seemed to go crazy and yelled: "That's nonsense, nonsense, you bastards, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Wu Chengsi shook his head and said, "I want to ask him something. Can any of you make him speak well?"
Ouyang Chong suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am best at torture. Just give me a stick of incense, no, a cup of tea."
Only then did Inukai Nanyi notice him and said angrily: "Sir Ouyang, when you could no longer stay in the Tang Dynasty, it was our Japanese country that took you in and treated you with courtesy."
"Now you are helping Tang Jun deal with us. What's the point of this?"
Ouyang Chong said solemnly: "You just want to use me to obtain information about the Tang Dynasty. As a Tang Dynasty man, I naturally want to help my country!"
Zhuge Nan pushed him aside and said angrily: "Go away and stay."
He turned to Wu Chengsi and said, "Your Highness, let me do it. I promise to let him speak!"
