Chapter 159 Battle Line
Jiang Xusheng was very curious about everything on the Sea Wolf Battleship, especially the heavy artillery. If the gunner hadn't allowed him to get close, he would have planned to get some fun.
Now he can only use a stone to polish the deck sadly. Jiang Xusheng was very puzzled. The deck was so smooth that it could reveal people, so why did he polish it over and over again?
"Xusheng! Is the sea python bullying? We have been here for two days and have never done anything except polishing the deck!" Ding Daniu muttered angrily.
Jiang Xusheng hit Ding Daniu with his shoulder, looked at the busy people around him, and found that no one noticed them, so he whispered: "Don't talk nonsense! You saw it yesterday, even the captain polished the deck himself. We are newcomers, so we don't suffer any losses when we do more work!"
"It would be strange if you don't suffer any losses! I like the soldiers on the boat the most. Except for training for two hours every day, I can move freely during the rest of the time, and the food is the best, that is the best position!" Ding Daniu said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Xusheng didn't care and said, "What's the good thing about the war soldiers? You have also seen the main gun on our ship!
That thing is really exciting. It can smash an enemy ship with just one shot. If I can touch the main gun, I can live ten years less!"
While the two were joking, they polished the deck again. Just as they were about to fetch water, a long whistle sounded in their ears.
The two of them were delighted, and quickly fixed the tools in their hands and ran to the middle deck. There were already long queues there, each carrying a wooden tray and taking turns to make meals in front of the wooden barrel.
A large bowl of rice, a fish and a large piece of meat stewed with bean sprouts, and a tablespoon of broth was added. This was the standard lunch. Ding Daniu took two extra steamed buns and stuffed them in his mouth and chewed them hard.
They didn't dare to think about such meals before. Even the richest families in the village could not eat like this every meal!
Just as the two of them were eating, a plate appeared in front of them. They looked up and saw the young captain. They quickly got up and wanted to salute.
"It's okay! It's okay! You eat yours, I just want to talk to you.
It has been two days since I arrived on the Sea Wolf Battleship. Do you have any ideas? Last time, you made great contributions to the port and captured the second leader of the Water Bandits alive. I can give you a chance to choose!" Deng Hai said with a smile.
Last time the water bandits attacked the port, he found Jiang Xusheng and the others first, recruited them into his ship, and grabbed the credit.
The other captains complained, but they had no choice but to deal with Deng Hai. Li Fan also didn't care about such trivial matters. As long as they were within the rules, some minor actions could be allowed.
Who made the captain unexpectedly, or thought that it would be too late to start? Such a small competition is beneficial to the sea python. As long as it doesn’t make too much trouble, Li Fan will not care.
After getting the benefits, Deng Hai has been very proud these days, so he gave Jiang Xusheng and Ding Daniu a chance to choose.
Hearing this, the two were overjoyed, looked at each other, and blurted out: "Arson! Warrior!"
Deng Hai smiled and stood up and said, "Okay!" before the word "Okay!" was released, a sharp whistle sounded outside. Deng Hai's face changed drastically, and he threw down the plate and rushed out. Others were no exception and hurried to the deck.
Jiang Xusheng and the others were stunned when they looked at the messy restaurant, and a loud roar from the chef came into their ears: "What are you two stupid guys doing?
I can’t even hear the whistle of the enemy attack. I really don’t know how you got on the boat!”
When the two of them woke up immediately after hearing this, they hurriedly ran to the deck. When they arrived on the deck, everyone had already taken their place.
Five or six people climbed up the mast, and pushed the whistling sea breeze, spreading sails one by one, waiting for further orders.
It was not until this moment that the two saw dense sea boats appearing on the distant sea surface. These sea boats were small, but in many as hundreds, almost blocking the sea python's way.
At this moment, a sharp whistle came from the watchtower. They looked up and saw small red and green flags waving a few times.
Deng Hai turned his eyes to the fleet that was changing camps and ordered loudly: "Turn the left rudder! Let's cut the right wing of the enemy ship and blow them hard!"
With the order issued, the Sea Python fleet was soon divided into three. The largest number of walrus-class and large-sized blessed ships quickly turned around and turned away from the battlefield. The remaining warships were divided into two and headed towards the enemy ships.
...
On the largest blessed ship of hundreds of pirate ships, more than a dozen people stood in one place.
"Silly and arrogant Ming people! They are obviously small in number and they still have to surround us. We will definitely win this battle!" The short Japanese man holding the Japanese sword in his hand spoke first, but attracted hostile gazes from people around him.
"Fart! Xiaojing Shijo, please make your words clear, otherwise I will let your head fall to the ground!" A man holding a big knife stopped and shouted with his eyes.
The other Ming people also showed bad intentions and approached Xiaojing a few steps closer. Xiaojing Shijo didn't care at all, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, and the Japanese knife in his hand was unsheathed, aiming at the Ming people who spoke first.
"Zhong Linjun! I'm not talking about you, but about all the Ming people, you can't do it!
If we don’t accept it, we will fight for life and death. Those who lose will always stay on the sea!"
The man named Zhong Lin was obviously a little bit weaker and still shouted unyieldingly: "Xiaojing, don't be too proud. There are eight people here, and you are only four of you. It's not certain who will die if you fight!"
"Oh? Is that right? Then I want to see what you wise people have to do, be ready to use the knife!" Xiaojing refused to give in, but instead took a step forward.
The middle-aged man in China frowned and coughed a few times and said, "Everyone! Please don't forget the purpose of our coming here!
The heroes are making money, and Koi and several samurai are for the sea boats. If you have no conflicts of interests, don’t fight to the death!
Defeat the sea python first, and then resolve everything after the war. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaojing took back the Japanese sword and bowed standardly, "Hi! Follow Mr. Zhang's instructions!"
"You are lucky, let you live a little longer!" Zhong Lin cursed and stepped aside, but anyone could tell his lack of confidence.
"The sea python warship is fast, so we may not be able to catch up. Why don't you try to attack those cargo ships? It may have unexpected results!" the middle-aged man suggested.
More than a dozen pirate leaders nodded slightly and agreed with the middle-aged man. They ignored the dispersed local sea wolf warships, but headed straight for the cargo ships that had withdrawn from the battlefield.
...
Li Fan put down his telescope and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't care about the main sea wolf warship, but turned to those cargo ships. He really didn't know whether these pirates were ignorant or fearless!
"Battleline formation! Fire hard!"
