On the third day, the Ningxiang and more than twenty other ships set sail and sailed toward the southwest. Each ship's sail was half-opened, and the speed was not fast nor slow. On the mast, there were various shapes, but they were all vicious and ugly.
The ghost-faced flag is fluttering in the wind.
Soon, the coastline was faintly visible in the distance.
Lopez borrowed the telescope of his best mate and saw a port where dozens of ships were swarming out.
However, the Ningxiang and other ships stopped.
"Mate Zhou, what are we doing?" Lopez stood behind the bow boom, put down the telescope, and turned around to ask.
"Waiting." Mate Zhou put his left leg on the side of the ship, bent down and tied his trousers and tightened his shoelaces.
"Who are you waiting for? Wait for those ships to come out and then rob them?" Lopez held his breath and babbled out a few Chinese characters, finally expressing what he meant.
"Guangning Port is the largest port in Liyue. Two-thirds of the ports in the port are ships from the Song Dynasty, transporting coal and grain. We have to wait for them to come out before taking action." Deputy Zhou replied without raising his head.
.
"Ships from the Song Dynasty?" Lopez asked in confusion. There are so many ships from the Song Dynasty, which shows that this place has close contact with the Song Dynasty. Why did it suddenly fall out?
Mate Zhou's trousers and shoelaces on his right foot were all packed up. He stood at the bow of the ship and jumped a few times to feel it. He felt that his whole body was tidied up. Then he said viciously: "The Lord Li Yue is seeking death, and we haven't taken action yet.
He dared to take action first."
Why can't others take action first? Why would this become the crime of this person named Lord Li Yue?
Lopez was puzzled.
More than an hour later, ships coming out of Guangning Port crossed paths with ships such as the Ningxiang. There were familiar people on both sides, saying hello from afar.
"Li Dazui, where are you going back?"
"Transport coal to Shanghai Port. Mo Laosi, it's your turn to make a fortune this time. Remember to treat me to a drink next time."
"Please. Remember to bring me a piece of velvet from Shanghai Port. It's cheap there. You know my family, send it over and my mother-in-law will give you money."
"Okay. Mr. Mo, be careful, you still owe me a drink."
"knew."
"Chen Wanchai, my brother is not on the boat?"
"His boy has been admitted to Jiangyin Maritime Academy. We got off the ship when we were in Panyu and transferred to the other ship to report. There is smoke coming out of your ancestral graves, and there is actually a scholar."
Someone was shouting next to him, "You Wang Mazi are really lucky. Your younger brother went to school and became a first mate when he came out. You come here to make a fortune again. We are waiting for you in Panyu. If you don't invite us to drink, you are a straight thief."
They were thrown directly into the Xijiang River."
After traveling overseas for half a year, Wang Mazi was so excited that he suddenly heard the good news about his younger brother and was a little incoherent.
"You straight bitch, please, you must invite me to drink! If you don't invite me, I will be the biggest bastard in the South China Sea!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Captain Liu Sixiong of the Ningxiang was standing on the side of the ship, holding the cable with his right hand, most of his body on the sea surface, and was greeting the familiar captain.
"Li Dali, what's the situation in Guangning Port?"
"There are only six merchant ships from Li Yue Kingdom, and seven patrol and anti-smuggling ships. They will crush them and kill a few bugs. But you have to be careful on the shore. I heard that last month, their leader ordered to recruit a lot of soldiers and set up defenses everywhere.
I heard an official from Guangning who was drinking with me said that there were probably five to six thousand soldiers."
"Straight bitches, no matter how much they are, they will be beaten without fail!" Liu Sixiong said fiercely.
"You're such a lucky guy. You just came back from Tianzhu and encountered such a beautiful thing. It seems that we and Li Yue are starting to work together. Once you get the privateering license for fish heads, you're afraid that after the war is over,
You can buy your own ship and become a shipowner."
"I want to buy my own boat! But I don't want to go ashore and be a shipowner. How happy it would be to drive my own boat!"
The ships passed by each other, and everyone chatted a few words at the top of their lungs from a distance. After all the ships in Guangning Port were gone, Liu Sixiong jumped back to the deck, tied his long hair with a cloth band, and took it out from his waist.
Wrinkled triangular felt hat, roared: "Raise anchor and sail, prepare for battle!"
Standing in the driver's seat on the stern, Lopez couldn't help but ask the first officer beside him, "When Li Yue and Song were fighting, why did Guang Ning let go of the ship?"
"You said that we have already started fighting with Li Yueguo, why did Guangning Port let our ship go?" The first mate thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, yes."
The first mate laughed loudly, "The goods loaded on these ships belong to the local officials and gentry of Guangning. They can only get the money when they reach the destination. They don't care about the orders of Lord Li Yue. They only care about their own interests and cannot suffer losses."
.”
After understanding the meaning of these words, Lopez was speechless.
I heard from people familiar with the ship that Guangning Port was the largest port for Li Yue during the Song Dynasty. Now it seems that local officials and nobles have formed a solid interest relationship with the Song Dynasty.
What battle?
When there were still two or three miles away from the port, the ships inside came out. Six of them were slightly larger, but compared with the Ningxiang and other Song ships, they were like goats and tigers standing together. The remaining ships were smaller.
, like a few mice, running out timidly.
Lopez looked up and saw the sailors on the main mast shouting flags desperately, while his companions next to him shouted at the poop with a big iron trumpet.
"T-tactics, get the upper hand!"
Liu Sixiong, who had been observing the enemy's situation, put down his telescope, looked at his companions in front and behind, and made a judgment based on the wind direction, speed, and distance.
"Lower the mainsail, the fore jib, and half the aft jib. Rudder thirty degrees to the left. Prepare the starboard gun!"
Ten minutes later, when Li Yueguo's ships were only four to five hundred meters away, twenty-one Song armed merchant ships had already formed two horizontal lines, aiming sideways at Li Yueguo's ships, which were divided into two groups.
"The enemy's lead ship is three hundred and fifty meters, three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters." The surveyor muttered while measuring the enemy ship with an instrument that Lopez could not understand.
While Liu Sixiong listened nervously to the surveyor's report, he shouted to the cabin deck: "Chief gunner, chief gunner, the starboard gun is ready!"
A bearded man ran out of the cabin exit, checked the starboard guns on the deck, turned to the poop and shouted: "The starboard guns are ready!"
"Two hundred meters!" The surveyor reported another number.
"Fire!" Liu Sixiong shouted.
"Bang-bang-bang!"
Lopez's ears were almost deafened, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the poop deck. Is this a weapon of the Song Dynasty navy? Why is it so scary?
A shell came out of the smoke, flew across the sea, and slammed into the deck of Li Yueguo's ship, making a huge hole.
Another cannonball floated over the sea like a seagull and flew over the deck of Li Yueguo's ship. Lopez saw with his own eyes that wherever the cannonball passed, people were destroyed, with flesh, blood and sawdust, as if they had been hit by a heavy weapon.
The hammer exploded hard, causing it to scatter in all directions.
Before the buzzing in Lopez's ears subsided, the artillery on the right fired again, and the shells were like a storm, destroying everything that passed by.
Lopez's mouth was half-opened, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly at all this. The fog was thick and the smoke was pungent, and suddenly he thought he had entered the battlefield of the battle of the gods.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis: This chapter has been completed!
