Long Zhantian frowned. Of course he didn't understand what the other party said. He turned his eyes to Lin Zhiyu, but Lin Zhiyu also shook his head to express his confusion.
Meng Tianxiong said: "The other party asked us to stop the boat in a hurry, so that we could survive."
Long Zhantian was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Tell these pirates, we, the Huben Guard Navy, to leave as soon as possible if you are interested, otherwise they will never come back."
Meng Tianxiong took a step forward, pointed with one finger at the triangular dragon flag fluttering in the wind on the mast, and drew a counterclockwise semicircle in the air with his other hand. In this way, he told the pirates that this was a Ming Dynasty ship.
, ask others to turn around and leave quickly.
However, after Meng Tianxiong made these gestures, the pirates did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, they laughed wildly at the bow of the ship. The sea breeze blew their laughter to the "Happiness", making it appear so harsh.
The fact that they didn't take the "Huanxi" seriously at all made Long Zhantian's face look ugly, and he ordered: "Then let the pirates have a taste of the power of the Franji."
"Report to the general, all the gunpowder and bombs have been thrown into the sea, and the Franco machine cannot be launched." A soldier who ordered the order lowered his head and reported to Long Zhantian.
"You threw it away really cleanly." Long Zhantian glanced at Meng Tianxiong, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
At this time, the people on the pirate ship signaled towards the "Happiness" again, and Long Zhantian asked: "What are they talking about?"
Looking at their actions, Meng Tianxiong's expression changed and he was stunned. They were actually looking for a woman. Could it be that the pirates were looking for the woman he had rescued not long ago?
"They are looking for a woman." When Meng Tianxiong said this, he was a little lost.
Long Zhantian looked at Meng Tianxiong. His surprised expression clearly wanted Meng Tianxiong to say it again, but he was not satisfied with this answer.
"They are looking for a woman. They asked to board the ship for a thorough search, otherwise they will destroy the "Huanxi"." Meng Tianxiong's expression returned to normal, and he reported the pirates' intentions to Commander Long in full.
With a loud "boom", a cannonball flew over from the pirate ship. It landed accurately on the side of the "Huanxi", making a hole in the side of the ship, and the "Huanxi" was shaken from side to side.
.
Seeing that their cannonballs hit the target, the pirates couldn't help cheering. They made various moves towards the "Huanxi". It was obvious that the pirates used this cannonball to give a warning to the "Huanxi". If they didn't
If they did as they were told, they could sink the Joy easily.
Seeing the unscrupulous pirates, Long Zhantian's face turned ugly. He suddenly turned around and said to Meng Tianxiong: "Why are pirates so rampant? It's because everyone is afraid of pirates. You commanded the 'Huanxi' to ram into the pirate ship."
, let them have a taste of its power.”
Meng Tianxiong understood that even if pirates would attack the "Huanxi", even if the "Huanxi" was sunk by pirates, Long Zhantian would not let the pirates board the ship for search because the "Huanxi" was flying the triangular dragon flag.
, "Huanxi" represents the Ming Empire. From the moment he was born, the honor and dignity of the country have become something that Long Zhantian must abide by, and he has no other choice.
However, Meng Tianxiong had more to think about than him, because he was now the captain of the "Huanxi" and he must know all the situation of the "Huanxi". Although the "Huanxi" was equipped with a Franco machine, due to the lack of gunpowder,
It can't be launched at all. As long as the pirate ship has enough gunpowder, they can easily sink the "Happiness".
The front end of the "Huanxi" is indeed equipped with a collision device made of ironwood. If it hits a seagoing ship at full speed, it is very likely to sink the other ship. However, the "Huanxi" was hit by a hurricane not long ago, and not only did it fall over
The mast and the entire structure of the hull have also been affected to a certain extent. At this moment, hitting the pirate ship with all its strength may indeed have a certain impact on the pirate ship, but the reaction force generated by the huge impact will also have an impact on the "Huanxi", "Huanxi"
It is very likely that the ship will disintegrate and sink.
Long Zhantian's approach was a desperate move. Meng Tianxiong expressed his opposition with silence. He would not watch the "Huanxi", which had finally escaped from the hurricane, be destroyed because of impulsiveness.
Long Zhantian looked at him, waiting for him to carry out his order. However, what he was waiting for was this sentence: "Commander Long, may I suggest that the pirates be allowed on board?"
"What?" Long Zhantian suddenly opened his eyes, and there was murderous intent in his tone again, "Are you going to let the mighty Ming Dynasty Navy surrender to these pirates? Don't you know that the Ming Dynasty Navy has its own responsibilities when it goes on a long sea voyage?
It is the duty to destroy pirates along the way."
The atmosphere became tense again, and Meng Tianxiong knew very well that if he didn't express his thoughts quickly, Long Zhantian would kill him without hesitation.
Meng Tianxiong took a deep breath, and then analyzed: "Once the "Huanxi" rushes towards the pirate ship, the pirates will immediately launch an attack with artillery shells. Even if the "Huanxi" can successfully hit the pirate ship, according to the current condition of the hull
Look, it will be us who suffer the consequences."
"Even if the 'Huanxi' sinks, we must never surrender to the pirates." Long Zhantian's eyes were cold. He pulled out his knife and said, "Before the 'Huanxi' disappears, I must first deal with those who shake the morale of the military.
"
"I have a way!" Meng Tianxiong couldn't help shouting loudly as he raised his knife high. He didn't want to die for no reason.
Long Zhantian slowly put down his knife, stared at Meng Tianxiong and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Meng Tianxiong wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the pirate ship and said: "If we agree to the pirates going to the 'Huanxi' to search, they will definitely send a few small boats over, and the pirate ship will keep a distance that can carry out artillery attacks, and wait for the pirates to come on
They picked up the "Huanxi" and launched a surprise attack on them."
"Luring the enemy deeper?" Long Zhantian looked at Meng Tianxiong in surprise, but he quickly shook his head. "As long as we take action, the pirates can still attack us with artillery."
Meng Tianxiong continued: "While the pirate boat is rowing over, I will quietly sneak under the pirate ship with a few crew members who are good at water, cut through the bottom of their ship, and let the pirate ship sink."
This time, Long Zhantian nodded thoughtfully. Obviously Meng Tianxiong's plan was much better than using the "Huanxi" to ram the pirate ship. It could achieve the greatest victory with the smallest casualties, so he had no reason to disagree.
"Soldier, you are so deceitful. I didn't expect you to know how to fight." Long Zhantian couldn't help but admire. He pointed at the crew members on the nail plate and said, "You can do whatever you want on the ship."
Meng Tianxiong's eyes swept across the crew on the deck. He had to quickly identify the person who was most familiar with water. This was an extremely difficult task.
"I am willing to perform this mission. Among all the soldiers, I have the best water quality." At some point, Li Dongsheng had already stood beside Long Zhantian.
When Li Dongsheng saw that Long Zhantian had not spoken, he asked again: "Please give me a chance to redeem myself and make meritorious service."
The pirate ship fired another cannonball. It roared across the sea level and landed on the deck without any bias. A big hole was instantly smashed into the deck, and broken wood chips flew in front of Long Zhantian's eyes.
"Commander Long!" Seeing that Long Zhantian was silent, Li Dongsheng couldn't help but raise his voice and begged.
Long Zhantian suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and his voice was suddenly full of emotion: "You should know what this mission means."
"Death." After Li Dongsheng said these two words unambiguously, he added: "If I can do one thing for the 'Huanxi' before I die, can it be regarded as serving the country?"
"Brother." After Long Zhantian patted Li Dongsheng's shoulder hard, he suddenly turned around and said, "All actions must be obeyed by Master Meng Zhou. If you come back alive, let's forget what happened before."
"Yes, Commander Long." Li Dongsheng's voice was firm, and his eyes revealed a fanatical light.
The sea breeze blew the triangular dragon flag, and underneath it fluttered, a group of calm-looking soldiers and sailors silently waited for the pirates' attack.
Meng Tianxiong tied the iron chisel with a dark light to his body. He turned around and said to Long Zhantian: "We will not allow the pirates to board the ship until the third shell falls, so that they will think that we are afraid."
, the vigilance of pirates will be reduced."
Long Zhantian was silent for a while. He looked at Meng Tianxiong and said, "I hope you come back alive. Maybe the 'Happiness' can't do without you."
Long Zhantian's words made him understand that as long as he could complete the mission, he would still be the captain of the "Huanxi", but his mood was not relaxed at all. He knew very well what his mission meant, and the possibility of survival was very slim.
.
Meng Tianxiong just nodded slightly. He and Li Dongsheng turned around and walked to the other side of the "Huanxi" calmly. No one said a word, and their long backs were silently projected on the deck of the "Huanxi".
.
This time the pirates aimed their guns at Long Zhantian, and the shells roared in. However, the shells did not hit the target accurately. Perhaps they were just giving a warning, and the menacing shells landed at Long Zhantian's feet.
It smashed a hole in the deck, flying up pieces of wood that scratched Long Zhantian's arm, and blood flowed from his hand drop by drop.
The soldiers surrounded Long Zhantian. They all looked frightened, fearing that the pirates' shells would hit their general next time.
But Long Zhantian just glanced at the scars on his hands and said, "Send my order to allow the pirates to board the ship and search."
A messenger stood at the stern of the ship waving the order flag. He passed Long Zhantian's order to the pirates behind. After they received the message from the "Huanxi", there was a sound of joy on the pirate ship as the wind blew to the "Huanxi"
"On the ship, Long Zhantian's face couldn't help but darken. He couldn't help but touch the saber at his waist, his eyes filled with strong murderous intent.
After a while, more than a dozen small boats appeared on the sea, each with 6 people on board. Two of them were responsible for rocking the oars, and the other 4 should be on guard and ready for battle. However, judging from their relaxed expressions,
They didn't take the "Huanxi" seriously at all.
At this moment, Meng Tianxiong and Li Dongsheng had been making preparations to dive into the seabed. Meng Tianxiong made visual observations and found that the "Huanxi" and the pirate ship were more than a hundred meters apart at this time. This means that after the two men held their breath, they had to dive into the seabed.
Swimming more than a hundred meters under the sea without being able to come to the surface to breathe is a great test for any one of them.
Meng Tianxiong and Li Dongsheng looked at each other, and Meng Tianxiong said: "If we leave, neither of us may be able to come back."
Li Dongsheng looked at the surging sea and said: "I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid of dying in humiliation."
Meng Tianxiong smiled lightly and said, "Then, let's set off?"
"Let's go!" Li Dongsheng nodded vigorously.
"You have to follow me closely." Meng Tianxiong added.
Then, after the two took a deep breath of air, they quietly dived into the sea and swam towards the pirate ship.
This is not only a difficult journey, but also a test of death.
The two of them spread their arms and tried their best to dive in the sea water. However, after they had only swam more than half of the way, a heavy feeling began to hit their chests as expected. Meng Tianxiong felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, and his limbs became worse and worse.
It's getting heavier and heavier, and its stealth speed is getting slower and slower.
Several pirate boats passed over their heads, and the shadows on the bottom of the boats seemed to intensify his chest tightness.
Meng Tianxiong really wanted to jump out of the sea and lift the boat passing overhead. However, Meng Tianxiong suppressed this strong impulse. He reminded himself over and over again to stay calm.
The distance between him and the pirate ship is slowly getting shorter, but now every meter he advances requires more effort. Every time he moves his arms, his chest becomes heavier.
When he was about one-third of the distance from the pirate ship, Meng Tianxiong felt that he had almost reached the limit of his endurance. The huge pressure of the sea water made his chest tighter even more severe. The distance of more than 100 meters had exceeded the limit of his diving, and Meng Tianxiong was experiencing
Facing a severe test, whether he faces survival or death depends entirely on whether his will is strong enough and whether he can endure the tremendous pain of living underwater.
For his own sake and for the sake of "Happiness", he must persevere. This is the only thought left in Meng Tianxiong's heart, and it is also the thought he must hold on to.
He looked back at Li Dongsheng who was following him. The distance between the two became wider. It was obvious that Li Dongsheng's situation was worse than him.
Meng Tianxiong slowed down his stealth action slightly and could no longer widen the distance between the two. Otherwise, Li Dongsheng would probably surface because he lost hope. Then the pirates would immediately discover Li Dongsheng, and this plan would completely fail.
Slowing down also meant that Meng Tianxiong would have to stay underwater for longer, and he would also endure greater pain. This was a huge pain that seemed like his chest was about to burst. He gritted his teeth and endured it silently.
Swim and keep swimming forward. Finally, Meng Tianxiong vaguely saw the keel of the pirate ship appearing in front of him. He and the pirate ship were already very close.
Meng Tianxiong turned his head to look again, and he found that Li Dongsheng was rowing his arms slower and slower. He could hardly row anymore, and his body was gradually floating upward.
Meng Tianxiong was shocked. He immediately made a decision, turned around suddenly, gathered all his scattered strength, and swam towards Li Dongsheng.
