After listening to Yang Jiangyi's narration, Hua Bushi suddenly said: "I see, I should have thought a long time ago that the person who can sail the boat freely through the 'Five Dragon Formation' and pick up his sister must not be Peng San." It belongs to me."
Although the young master said this, he was actually even more confused.
Peng San knew that everyone on the "Jinyu" would definitely be no match for the "Black Dragon Palace" masters on the Giant Shark. It would make sense to go out in a small boat to move troops, but Cao Mu was the only one trapped in the "Five Dragon Formation". Yun Wai: There are also masters such as Hua Tianxiong and Hua Dihu on board the "Evil Dog Gate". Their martial arts skills are just as strong as those of Yang Jiangyi. However, Mr. Peng only found Yang Jiangyi and took them to Yang Jiangyi. She took it alone, as if she was sure that she and Sima Rulan would be able to defeat Qiao Shuangchou together.
Qiao Shuangchou's "Xinyinliu" sharp knife is indeed extremely sharp. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Jiangyi and Sima Rulan's martial arts are exactly one strong and one soft, and the power of the joint attack is greatly increased, even Hua Tianxiong or Cao If Mu Yun comes, he will probably not be able to defeat this person.
Hua Bushi couldn't help but ask: "Does Mr. Peng know that his sister knows the 'Sword Technique of Vigorously Subduing Demons'?" [
Yang Jiangyi said: "I don't know about that. Maybe on the way to Wanyi Island by boat to find you, I practiced swordsmanship from time to time. It's not necessarily that Mr. Peng saw me."
At this time, I could only hear the voice of a bird saying: "It turns out that the sword technique used by this sister is our sect's 'Powerful Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique'. Lan'er has heard her father talk about it before, but it was only today that she saw it for the first time. , I’m really lucky.”
The person who spoke was none other than Sima Rulan. At this time, she came to Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi, standing there in a snow-white dress, looking extremely pretty.
Hua Bushi quickly introduced: "Miss Lan'er, this is my sworn sister Yang Jiangyi, a disciple of the 'Huashan Sect'."
He then turned to Yang Jiangyi and said, "Sister, this Sima Rulan is the eldest lady of the city lord of Okura City, and she is also a good friend that Hua Bushi made after living on this island."
When he talked about "good friends", he couldn't help but feel guilty. He secretly thought that when he arrived in Okura City, Yang Jiangyi would definitely hear rumors about his affair with Sima Rulan. If Yang Jiangyi had a misunderstanding, But it is difficult to explain clearly.
Sima Rulan was very generous and bowed to Yang Jiangyi Yingying: "Thanks to Sister Jiangyi's help today, I was able to defeat that Japanese warrior. Lan'er is very grateful to my sister for saving her life. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Yang Jiangyi also returned the gift and said, "Sister Lan'er, you are serious! Jiangyi is impressed that my sister has practiced such strong martial arts at such a young age."
Previously, the two women teamed up to fight Qiao Shuangchou. In the critical situation of life and death, they had the same understanding of each other and acted as each other's offense and defense. In the end, they narrowly defeated the powerful enemy with a coordinated attack technique. After experiencing this battle, they were not only very familiar with each other's martial arts. , we already admired each other in our hearts earlier.
Yang Jiangyi and Sima Rulan both have extraordinary martial arts talents, and they both have soft yet strong personalities. Although they only met for the first time today, they already have a mutual sympathy and a feeling of knowing each other and regretting seeing each other so late.
Hua Bushi and the others got along well with each other, and their hearts finally relaxed a little.
But he had just breathed a sigh of relief when he only heard Bai Yiling beside him say: "Miss Jiangyi, Ling'er came to Okura City during the day and heard many rumors about Master Gongzi and Miss Lan'er. Do you want to listen."
Hua Bushi was horrified and hurriedly rebuked: "Ling'er, don't talk nonsense. You don't do business in the city, but you go around asking for gossip and preaching to everyone you meet. You really deserve to be beaten."
Bai Yiling pursed her lips, showed a naughty smile, and stuck out her tongue.
Yang Jiangyi said: "Are there any interesting rumors in Okura City? I would like to hear them."
Hua Bushi said hurriedly: "Those are just random gossips spread by three aunts and six wives. My sister will not like to hear it. Hey, you were injured just now. Let me bandage your injuries first before talking about anything else." "
Previously, both Sima Rulan and Yang Jiangyi were injured by Qiao Shuangchou's sword, and they had been fighting fiercely since then and had no time to bandage their injuries. This gave Hua Bushi an excuse to avoid talking about the scandal.
At that moment, the young master took out wound medicine, a knife, gauze and other items from his arms, and started to help Sima Rulan bandage the wound on his shoulder.
Bai Yiling suddenly said: "Both Miss Jiangyi and Miss Lan'er were injured, but the master helped bandage Miss Lan'er first. Oh, it seems that the rumors in the city are true." [
Hua Bushi was immediately embarrassed and glared at Bai Yiling: "Ling'er, if you dare to talk too much again, I will punish you by squatting on the horse for two hours."
Bai Yiling smiled and said: "Master, please forgive me, Ling'er doesn't dare to say any more!"
Hearing what Bai Yiling said, Sima Rulan couldn't help but a red cloud appeared on her jade face, and said: "Mr. Hua, you'd better go and help Sister Jiangyi's wounds first."
Yang Jiangyi said, "Sister Lan'er, there's no need to be polite. He bandaged your wounds first, just because my sister was injured more seriously than me, and there was no other intention."
Both Sima Rulan and Yang Jiangyi were injured on their right shoulders, and Sima Rulan couldn't hold the sword after being cut with a sword. It was indeed more serious than Yang Jiangyi, so Hua Bushi bandaged her first. Compared to Bai Yiling's deliberate threats, Yang Jiangyi completely understood the young master's intentions.
But after hearing what Yang Jiangyi said, Hua Bushi knew that she had not misunderstood him, and the embarrassment on his face was slightly relieved.
At this moment, an earth-shaking roar was suddenly heard, flames shot into the sky above the sea, and the giant shark battleship exploded violently.
Several fragments were scattered in all directions, and the huge impact stirred up large waves of ten feet high on the sea surface. The entire giant shark ship was instantly destroyed by the bottom: the "Jinyu" sailed at full sail and could barely escape a hundred feet away. , although it was not affected by the explosion, it was shaken up and down by the big waves.
Right in front of everyone's eyes, thick smoke and flames burst out. The giant battleship, which was more than forty feet long, was broken into several pieces, and the wreckage slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When the red sun first rose and the first ray of sunlight from the east shone on the sea, the battle situation on the sea outside Okura Island had already changed.
The largest giant shark ship was blown up and sank, and the remaining four dragon heads: the "Five Dragon Formation" finally began to become chaotic. Cao Muyun, who was good at seizing opportunities, immediately commanded the Guangdong Navy to attack the formation again. An attack was launched.
In terms of the number of battleships, the Guangdong Navy and the Dragon Palace Tribe were equally matched. After a night of fierce fighting, both sides lost almost the same number of ships. However, the difference was that the Guangdong Navy's attack formation was in order, and The pirate ships of the "Black Dragon Palace" have lost their command since the formation was broken, and are scattered on the ocean.
Ship battles at sea are inherently a game of concentrated firepower and victory over the few. The four remaining dragons fighting each other were ultimately no match for the attack of hundreds of warships from the Guangdong Navy. They were defeated one by one and saw their own lead ship sink. , the pirates had already lost more than half of their fighting spirit, making it even harder to resist, and soon began to flee.
From dawn to noon: the "Black Dragon Palace" pirate ships lost more than 60 ships. Although the remaining four giant shark ships were not sunk, among the ships that were sunk or captured, most of the large and medium-sized ones were There were also many large ships and loach ships, but the Guangdong Navy and Okura City only lost less than ten small and medium-sized ships in total.
Facing the fleeing pirate ships, the Guangdong Navy and Okura Castle's ships began to sweep the sea, chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy who had not escaped. At dusk, they sank more than ten pirate ships. On the ocean outside Okura Island The pirate ships were wiped out.
This naval battle started at the third watch yesterday and continued until dusk today, lasting nearly ten hours: among the more than 200 ships surrounding the island in the "Black Dragon Palace", more than 80 were sunk and ten were captured. Many ships were lost, more than half of which were lost. Most of the pirate ships that escaped were also damaged by artillery fire. While the Guangdong Navy lost about thirty ships, the losses in Okura Castle were minimal, except for the "Jinyu" which was somewhat damaged. In addition, only six small ships were sunk.
At this point, this maritime battle was finally over. The Cantonese Navy and Okura Castle achieved a complete victory, and the crisis of pirate siege on the island for more than 40 days was finally lifted.
After the war, Okura Castle's ships returned to the port in the bay. However, except for a few seriously damaged ships in the Guangdong Navy fleet, which sailed into the bay for emergency repairs, most of the ships were outside the gorge. Set foot in the water village and anchor.
The soldiers of each naval battalion were also strictly ordered to stay on the ship and were not allowed to land privately, otherwise military law would be engaged. Only Cao Muyun, Guangdong Admiral Shen Youlong and several high-ranking generals and generals entered the port by boat. , entered Okura Castle.
This time the Wuzhai navy in Guangdong went out in force, under the banner of suppressing pirates, not to rescue Okura City. Okura City was originally outside the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and the ocean-going trade conducted at the port was also contrary to the Ming Dynasty. According to the law, the existence of this city is a secret, so the navy officers and soldiers of the brigade cannot enter the city and learn the details of this city.
Cao Muyun thought about this very carefully, and Shen Youlong also understood it and issued a strict order not to allow the officers and soldiers of the ships to go ashore.[
In this massive expedition and the fierce sea battle with the "Black Dragon Palace" pirates, the Guangdong navy's ships and soldiers suffered a lot of losses, ranging from Shen Youlong, the Admiral of Guangdong, to thousands of general staff officers in various naval camps. , but they were all very satisfied with this errand. This was because when they entered Okura City, Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao not only entertained them warmly, but also handed over a very substantial red envelope of silver taels as a reward, as much as 500,000 taels. .
There is no food in Okura City, but there is no shortage of silver. In fact, this city is richer than any major city in Middle-earth.
These silver taels are enough to make up for the losses suffered by the Guangdong Navy in this battle. Moreover, the ships belong to the imperial court and are not the property of Shen Youlong and the generals of the Guangdong Navy. They are used as "mercenaries". It's not bad to conquer pirates, at least everyone won't come in vain, and everyone can get a lot of money from it.
