Chapter five hundred and thirty second rescued refugees
Several people burst into laughter, and one of them responded loudly: "General Yu, I won't send it off. We will come back to learn from you someday. We also ask General Yu to go back and tell you the Dagan court that there are many storms and waves on the sea, and merchants and fishermen will
Be careful, don't die here."
Yu Zi was furious, but he had no choice but to do anything.
At this moment, suddenly a sharp arrow flashed out from behind Yu Ziluo and struck the bandit who was speaking. The bowstring made a muffled sound, and then there was a sound of breaking through the air after the sharp arrow flew out.
Yu Zi's eyelids twitched slightly, but before he could turn his head, he knew it was a magical bow just by hearing the sound.
Before the bandit laughed, he saw a sharp arrow shooting straight towards his chest. It was originally out of reach of a crossbow, but he didn't expect the sharp arrow to be so close. He had no time to avoid it due to the sudden change, so he quickly turned sideways, although it was barely possible.
He avoided the vital part of his chest, but was still stabbed into his shoulder by a sharp arrow.
The rogue groaned miserably, and the arrow was so powerful that he actually picked up the rogue's body and nailed him to the mast two steps behind him.
The Dagan generals cheered in unison when they saw this, and several people at the stern of the rogue warship hurriedly hid under the side of the ship, fearing that the arrow of death would target them.
Yu Zilue hurriedly looked back, and saw Li Yuan holding his bow and drawing an arrow, looking coldly at the rogue warship in the distance. The bow in his hand was shaped like a crescent moon. The bow was simple, and the corners of the bow were embedded with sharp blades. It was Mu Kuo.
Reverse bow.
Yu Zi was shocked for a while and then praised: "What an amazing bow."
Li Yuanxi didn't answer. Seeing the rogue warships gradually moving away, she slowly put down the bow in her hand and stood silently behind Li Luo.
Leng Bing raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "My accuracy has improved a lot."
Li Yuanxi turned a deaf ear and remained silent.
The two fleets were getting farther and farther away, and the Dagan navy officers tried their best to adjust the sails, but still could not catch up.
At this time, Yu Zilue let out a long sigh, cupped his fists and saluted, and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, I was rude just now. Please punish me."
Li Luo and Yan smiled and said loudly: "It doesn't matter, don't let me confuse the general's ears."
Yu Zilue hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty's words are serious."
After a slight pause, he continued in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, sailing on the sea seems to be calm, but it is not like that under the sea. The sea water is not stationary, but flows like a river on the earth, which is called a sea current.
However, unlike rivers, the waterways of rivers will not change for decades or even centuries, but the ocean currents are unpredictable. They are like this in the morning, but they may change direction in the afternoon, which is unpredictable.
I heard that there are people at sea who can tell the direction of currents, but I don’t have this ability yet.”
"Oh, so the sea current under our navy's ship and the sea current under the bandit's ship are not the same? If so, isn't it okay for our warship to merge into the sea current under the bandit's ship?" Li Luo humbly asked for advice.
road.
"It's not just that. Your Majesty doesn't know that ocean currents can be big or small, strong or weak, and can easily be dispersed by other ocean currents.
It is midsummer now. There are more sea currents from north to south, and they become weaker as you go east. Although our navy is only a few arrows away from the rogue pirates, the gap will become wider and wider. Relying on wind power alone, the rogue pirates will be able to defeat the enemy.
They are almost the same as our army, that’s why they say they can’t catch up. Please tell me, Your Majesty.”
Li Luo suddenly realized: "That's it."
Yu Zi looked at the warships of the rogues who were gradually moving away, and said in a deep voice: "There must be some masters among the rogues."
Li Luo smiled softly and said harmoniously: "Since the rogue bandits dare to raise troops to invade, they will definitely not rely solely on blood and courage. It's just that I have fought several battles in the East Mansion and haven't really fought against the rogue bandits. I don't know how strong or weak the rogue bandits are.
It’s also a serious problem.”
Yu Zi glanced at Li Luo briefly and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, are we still chasing him?"
"No more pursuit, withdraw the troops and return to Luochao Island."
"General, please obey the order." Yu Zilai turned around and gave the order. The warship lowered the main sail, adjusted the wind direction, slowly turned around the bow, and returned to the ebb tide island. Another warship went out to sea to send a message to the troops led by Shen Xiangdong.
Returning to Luchao Island, there were more than a thousand soldiers surrendered by rogues on the island. Most of them were rogues who had originally lured the enemy on the island. Less than a hundred soldiers were rescued after falling into the water.
There is no trace of the residents on the island. It is unknown whether they hid in the depths of the island or were driven out by the bandits.
As expected, there were Dagan people captured by the bandits on the ferry boat. Some were dead or injured, but 70% of the people were still safe and sound, which was a great blessing among misfortunes.
I heard from the captive people that there were nearly a thousand people detained by the bandits on other warships, and their whereabouts are unknown.
The navy generals packed up their gear and were about to rush back to Chuyang Prefecture to watch the tide crossing. God was unfavorable and a strong wind blew. Yu Zi briefly judged the direction of the wind and the sky, discussed a few words with several veteran generals in the army, and reported Please ask Li Luo to wait for the wind and waves to pass before heading out to sea and return to the tide-watching ferry.
Li Luo agreed and came down, only to see that the sky was really scary. The dark clouds were low, covering the sky and the sun, and they were rolling over the sea, as if they were trying to push the waves caused by the strong wind into the deep sea.
As soon as the navy generals sailed the warships into the ferry and docked, violent storms followed one after another, and the angry waves rose up to tens of feet high and hit the rocks beside the island hard. Smaller stones were actually blown away by the strong wind. Get up and fly around.
Everything was so dark under the clouds that it was hard to tell where was the sea and where was the cloud.
The waves were getting higher and higher, as if countless dangerous peaks and deep valleys had emerged from the sea water, and it seemed that even the ebb tide island under your feet would be blown away by the strong wind in the next moment.
Raindrops falling on my face are not much better than sand and gravel hitting my face. The pain is unbearable.
The Mutianlang generals looked horrified, there was such a shocking wind in the desert of the Western Region, no matter how strong the wind was.
Listening to the howling of the wind outside the camp, Li Luo sighed: "If we go to sea in this weather, I'm afraid it will be very bad."
Yu Zi smiled slightly and said: "It is common to encounter storms and waves on the sea. Sometimes there will be waves even if there is no wind, and the weather will change in the blink of an eye. Even the sea people who are familiar with the sea cannot avoid the storm completely, and the ship will be damaged." It's a 10% chance, but if the sailors are more skilled, it won't be a life-or-death danger."
"Isn't this a life-or-death danger?" Fu Xiushu said in a stunned tone.
Yu Zi laughed and said: "A storm at sea is actually not much different from a sandstorm in the Western Regions. If you generals encounter a sandstorm, you will naturally have a way to escape. The same is true here."
"What General Yu said is that there are currents in the sea and quicksand in the sand. It is somewhat similar, but the change of quicksand is much slower than that of the current, but it is more dangerous. Whether it is the sea or sand, there will be dragon suction in the wind. The scene is named after the Sea of Sand, so it is very similar."
When Yu Zilai heard Li Luo talking about the phenomenon of dragon sucking, his face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Encountering a storm on the sea is nothing, but if you encounter a dragon sucking, whether it is a dragon sucking into the sky or a dragon sucking into the sea , it’s all a narrow escape, and this is the most fearful thing about sailing on the sea.” (To be continued.)
