Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 209 Annihilating the Enemy Ship
As for why it kills two birds with one stone, first, it can take revenge on Wu Xian. Wu Xian knocked Chen Youliang out of the arena with a few tricks at the Xiaofengpo Heroes Tournament, and even punished him slightly, ruining the good deeds of Cheng Kun as a master and apprentice. .

Second, if Zhao Min was killed by Tianying Sect Yin Tianzheng, then King Ruyang would be furious and would definitely send troops to destroy Tianying Sect, and Tianying Sect and Mingjiao have a close relationship. The cause of the disaster was brought to Mingjiao, so King Ruyang and Mingjiao formed an undying enmity.

Another half an hour later, Wu Xian was about to tell Zhao Min to leave and each of them went back to their rooms to rest, when he suddenly heard all the sailors on the rear shout: "The enemy ship is chasing you!

Wu Xian was taken aback, how fast are the Persian Mingjiao ships?He came after him so quickly. Wu Xian didn't know much about sailing, but he knew that the Ming Dynasty after the Yuan Dynasty was extremely mature in shipbuilding technology and sailing technology, leading the world. That's why Zheng Zheng And the feat of voyages to the Western Seas demonstrates the national prestige.

By extension, he thought that during the Yuan Dynasty, the ship technology in the Central Plains was not bad at this time. He once thought that the navigation technology and equipment of the Ming Dynasty continued to develop above the Yuan Dynasty. Now it seems that it is not what he imagined. .

Wu Xian and Zhao Min immediately rushed to the back boat to look around, and saw two big ships with five sails in the distance, chasing them by the wind.In the dark night, the hull of the enemy ship could not be seen, but the five white sails were very conspicuous.

Wu Xian looked at it for a while, seeing the enemy's sails were too light and gradually approaching, he felt a little anxious, and didn't know what to do. When he was on land, his speed was extremely fast, which can be described as unparalleled in the world, so he was the only one who relied on his speed to fool others. Right now, the enemy sailboats are lighter and heavier, and they can only be passive.

Wu Xian thought to himself that the only way to let the Persian people board the boat and fight with them in the cabin is to take advantage of the narrow cabin, several parties have the home field advantage, and he and Zhang Wuji are two masters, as long as they hold On the ship's side, there is one man who can stand in charge of the gate and the courage of ten thousand men.

All the sailors on board are elite soldiers and strong generals. The appearance of the enemy only temporarily disrupted everyone's position. Only under the command of the captain, everyone immediately regained their composure and sailed forward with peace of mind. Some people arranged the hull under Wu Xian's order to create a good atmosphere home field advantage.

Zhang Wuji, Xiao Zhao and others were sleeping in the room, but now they heard the voices of all the sailors, they got up to see what happened.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the side of the ship was violent, followed by the sea water pouring in mid-air, directly pouring into the cabin.The rear sailor shouted loudly: "The enemy ship fires! The enemy ship fires!" The gun hit the side of the ship, but fortunately it missed.

Zhao Min waved to Wu Xian, and said in a low voice, "We also have cannons!"

This remark reminded Wu Xian that they were the ships of the Yuan Dynasty Navy, they should be strong and powerful, and there were a lot of veterans and veterans. The Persian Mingjiao ships were powerful, but they were not bad either. What's so scary about the enemy?
Wu Xian rushed to the deck immediately, commanded all the sailors to remove the cover on the cannon, loaded gunpowder and iron bullets into the cannon, lit the burning rope, and with a bang, the cannon shot back, and the cannonball will go out, the target Slightly tilted, it only landed between the two enemy ships. The water column stirred up several feet, and the enemy ship shook violently.

But in this way, the enemy ships did not dare to get very close when they saw that there were cannons here.Not long after, the enemy ship fired again. Wu Xian and the others drove the ship as fast as possible, narrowly dodging the enemy's shells, but the two enemy ships immediately separated and fired from the left and right sides behind them.

Boom, boom, the sound of cannons on both sides can be heard endlessly, and the navy's soldiers are on board the own ship. When the third cannon fired, there was only a sudden sound like a flat-bottomed thunder, and the enemy ship on the left suddenly burst into flames, and the flames became more and more intense. Xiong, the people on the boat rushed to put out the fire, their speed gradually slowed down, and they stopped firing cannons on the boat.

"Good job, damn it!" A burly and tall man said with a smile on his face, without caring too much, and said rudely.He spit casually again, slapped a skinny sailor on the head, and said in a rough voice, "Erzhuzi, you and the gopher quickly fill me with gunpowder, and watch me capsize another ship, haha."

"Boss is really amazing!" "666" all the sailors smiled flatteringly, and quickly reloaded the medicine.

Everyone was in high spirits and momentum, Zhao Min smiled, stood on the deck, looked around everyone and said proudly: "You guys are doing beautifully, those who go out to sea with me today will each be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold when they go back, like Boss Wei!" Those who have made great contributions will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred fertile fields."

"Okay...okay" everyone cheered loudly, they became more elated, and their hands moved more quickly. Originally, it might take twenty breaths of effort to load the gunpowder. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward. After fourteen breaths, the shells were loaded again.

Boss Wei held the cannon himself, and the rest of the sailors used iron rods to pound the gunpowder until it fit properly, twisted the muzzle high, and ignited the gunpowder rope.Suddenly, there was a flash of red light, a loud bang from the cannon, and a ball of shells violently ejected from the muzzle of the cannon. In the eyes of everyone, only fireballs and steel were flying, and they hit the stern of another ship at once, and the Persian ship landed on the ground. When the flames flashed, they saw that Wu Xian's shells on the ship had very accurate sights, six or seven out of ten, and they didn't dare to pursue them anymore.

Seeing that the enemy was busy fighting the fire, Wu Xian and the others didn't dare to chase after them. They were overjoyed. The captains, helmsmen, sailors, etc. on the ship were able to escape this time. In front of a group of sailors, Boss Wei can speak vulgar words and swear words without hesitation, but in front of Wu Xian and the others, he just scratches his head and smiles innocently, does not take credit for himself, and is very good at being a man.

On the ship, all the sailors pulled the sails and headed towards the northwest. They feared that the two enemy ships would go first, and there would be other enemy ships behind them.It was dawn, but the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was a thick gray fog all around.

Wu Xian looked at the fog around him, and said happily, "This fog is so good, it only takes half a day, and the enemy won't be able to find us no matter what." The others also nodded. You will never get lost at sea.

After walking for another two days, the weather was sunny and clear. Everyone stood on the side of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery on the sea. Suddenly, Zhao Min pointed to the south and shouted: "What is that?"

I saw a few black spots in the distance where the water and the sky meet.Wu Xian was taken aback, and said, "Could it be a whale? Or some other merchant ship, or a big ship going fishing in the open sea?"

Zhang Wuji, Xiao Zhao, and Zhou Zhiruo also looked out for a while, Xiao Zhao said: "It's not a whale, I didn't see any spray, it might be other ships."

The five of them stared at the black spots intently, and as the boat sailed, a few more black spots appeared on the sea, Wu Xian glanced at Zhao Min secretly, and thought: The navy is here!After more than an hour, everyone could see clearly that there were more than ten ships in the group.
