Warring States Eagle

The naval battle quickly came to an end.Chen Dahuzi was very unwilling to watch the big barbarian ship sail away, but he could only hastily clean up the battlefield, and then left quickly.As for those companions who sank into the water, they could only mourn in silence.Since you are a pirate, you must have the consciousness of being buried in the sea.Besides, for these pirates, the seabed is the best place to bury them.Of course, the premise is that they will not become food for bottom fish.

Just now there were fierce battles on the surface of the sea, but at this moment there were only two overturned boats and a trace of blood that gradually dissipated with the waves.

Zhengliang also rushed to the battlefield at this time.Looking at the pirate fleet that was gradually going away and the big barbarian ship that was still cruising leisurely ahead, Zheng Liang was in a cold sweat.Originally, they planned to break into the chaotic battlefield and take the opportunity to escape, but in the end, these guys were very shrewd, and ended the battle ahead of time, which made Zheng Liang's plan come to nothing.Now, his own ship is still the prey of the Ming Dynasty navy who is gradually approaching from behind.

"Chasing in the direction of that big ship," Zheng Liang shouted while continuing to paddle the sculls in his hands.After long periods of vigorous exercise, Zheng Liang felt that his physical strength was a bit too much.The only hope now is the big ship ahead.Judging from the unhurried cruising situation of the other party, it seems that he is not afraid of the few lucky boats behind him at all.

Following Zheng Liang's order, the boat quickly headed towards the big ship.I hope that big ship will not mind my actions.Now this action of mine is obviously bringing trouble to the other party, meeting a bad-tempered ship owner.It is estimated that Zhengliang's boat will be angered by the opponent.In desperation, even at the risk of offending the other party, Zheng Liang decided to take a gamble.

"Those big ships haven't chased after them." After a long time, Shitou's cry of surprise came from behind.Prolonged rapid paddling.Even adults like Zhengliang couldn't bear it, let alone stones.So the stone stopped rowing the oars a long time ago, but started to let the wind out.

Hearing Shitou's exclamation, Zheng Liang and the others quickly turned their heads and looked back, and they saw several lucky boats stop, and some people even put down the boats and began to clean up the naval battle battlefield just now.

Yes, the generals of these lucky boats did not intend to pursue Zheng Liang anymore.The main reason is that they don't want to start a war with the barbarian ship in front.Different from the unsophisticated pirate leader Chen Dabeard, the combat effectiveness of the barbarian ships.The generals of these lucky boats knew about it.Although under the current situation, the combination of the three lucky boats would certainly be able to defeat the big barbarian ship, but they themselves must have suffered a lot of losses in the end.If this is the time, another group of pirates who left just now reappeared.Then these three lucky boats are in danger.Besides, the pursuit of Zhengliang's ships was just for business and military exploits anyway.Doesn't this just-concluded naval battlefield now have everything they need?So why take the risk to pursue it?Therefore, on balance, Fuchuan's generals decisively stopped the pursuit of Zhengliang's ships.

"Don't be discouraged, hurry up and get out of here," Zheng Liang shouted.Although I don't know why the other party stopped suddenly, but this is the perfect time to leave quickly.After all, with such a distance, the opponent can catch up again in an instant.

After being reminded by Zheng Liang, everyone immediately woke up and gritted their teeth.Continue to row the boat and leave quickly.

After half an hour, the ship finally moved away from the battlefield just now.At this moment, everyone was so tired that they all lay on the boat.

"Ah? It's not good. It's that big ship just now! It's coming towards us." Just as everyone was gasping for breath, the stone who was in charge of watching the wind screamed again.

"Ah?" Everyone got up one after another.Sure enough, he saw the big barbarian ship coming towards this side.See what it looks like.It was completely directed at his own boat.Could it be that his actions just now really angered the other party?Now they come to settle the score?It's really just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den!Zheng Liang couldn't help but thought with a wry smile.

Zheng Liang turned his head to look at a few of his subordinates again, and his wry smile became stronger.I saw that one or two were exhausted, and they supported each other even when they stood up.If the opponent directly attacks his ship at this time, then his group will have no choice but to capture it without a fight.

Just when Zhengliang was startled, the big ship stopped seven or eight meters away from Zhengliang's boat.

Zheng Liang looked intently, and couldn't help exclaiming: What a big ship.Just now, I was only thinking about running for my life, but now when I was really beside this big ship, I realized that this ship was really big, at least bigger than any ship Masaragi had seen in Japan.

Now Zhengliang can only look up to this big ship.Looking up, I saw that the ship had a total of three tall masts, and three pairs of large canvases were hung on the masts, and of course they were all closed now.The hull seems to have two layers, and it is estimated that it was transformed from a merchant ship.The bow and stern decks are very high, and in the event of a battle, when the two ships are stuck side by side, the advantage is that they can easily board the enemy ship, as if they were designed for boarding.From a distance, its scary castle-like shape also plays a role in psychologically suppressing the enemy. Coupled with the artillery on the deck, it is indeed an invincible fortress at sea.

Strictly speaking, this ship cannot be called a large three-masted sailing ship at present.Zhengliang knew that Spanish galleons did not appear until the middle and late 16th century.It is said that the Portuguese were the first to build such galleons, but it was the Spaniards who began to build galleons on a large scale and used them to form a powerful fleet.The famous Spanish treasure fleet is composed of such ships.The Spanish galleon's reputation lay in its sheer size and capacity, and in its steady flow of gold brought back from the New World for the Spanish crown and aristocracy to squander.Usually it carries heavy weapons.Spanish galleons have two or three decks, most of which are equipped with three masts, but there are also special cases of four masts.

And Zhengliang also noticed that the first ship has not yet started to install portholes.It is estimated that this ship has not returned to the west for a while, otherwise it will definitely follow suit and set up portholes.During this period, the West has begun to know how to install portholes on ships.This is a window on the side of the ship, with a hinged window cover on it, so that the ship can be easily loaded and unloaded through the window without hoisting from the side of the ship.Using this idea, British shipbuilders managed to make cannon fire from the lower deck of the ship.In this way, the broadside gun came out.Its weight is safely distributed just below its center of gravity.Spain immediately followed in England's footsteps and built a type of warship about 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, called the Spanish Galleon.Like ancient Greco-Roman warships, it was specially designed for naval operations.Its hull tends to be long and narrow, with a low ram above the waterline for ramming enemy ships.This warship has three masts with square sails.There is a ship building at the bow and stern, and many light cannons are installed on the hull above the waterline.On the main hull there is a row of large cannons, in this way, the initial phase of the naval battle is greatly prolonged.But if you can't ram the enemy ship violently, and soldiers board the enemy ship as in the early naval battles, and engage in a hand-to-hand combat, then the battle cannot be won in the end.

Just as Zhengliang was admiring the structure of the big ship, a bald head protruded from the side of the big ship, and then shouted at Zhengliang's boat: "Hey, the guy below, that's the captain. Our captain please , come up quickly."

"Your Highness, let me wait up there." Liu Le, Masao Kinoshita and the others immediately stepped forward and said.In this situation, it seems that it is impossible not to go, but the Patriarch cannot be allowed to go, it is too dangerous.

"No, I'll go," Zheng Liang said calmly.It can be seen from the fact that the other party did not launch an attack, at least the other party did not intend to do harm for the time being, so Zheng Liang decided to go to investigate.Find out what the captain of that ship is up to.

Finally, under Zheng Liang's order, Liu Le accompanied him to the big ship.

"Lean over" Following Zheng Liang's order, the boat began to row to the side of the big ship.

Arriving at the bottom of one side of the big ship, Zheng Liang gave his men a look of reassuring waiting, and then took the lead in climbing up the rope ladder hanging from the deck of the big ship.

Just as he was about to climb to the side of the ship, a big callused hand stretched out.Zhengliang smiled knowingly, then stretched out his right hand to shake the opponent's big hand.As soon as the other party exerted force, Zheng Liang took advantage of the momentum and climbed onto the big boat.

After standing still, take a closer look.Standing in front of him was a burly man, it was the bald man who shouted just now.By appearance, he should be a Han Chinese.The bald man grinned at Zheng Liang, then patted Zheng Liang on the shoulder, and said, "Hahaha, let's go, lucky guy, you're lucky this time, the captain wants to see you. What the hell, that only Why is the captain who plays with women under the quilt suddenly interested in meeting guests today?"

Zheng Liang smiled slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't answer, but he became interested in the captain in his heart.After Liu Le also climbed up, Zheng Liang, led by the bald man, walked to the front of both sides of the ship, where the bow was.

Zhengliang looked at the layout of the ship's deck.There were dozens of people standing around, and Zheng Liang found out that the white people were also Southern barbarians.These people are now looking at Zhengliang and the other as if they were looking at monkeys.

Looking further ahead, I saw a guy sitting on a chair with his back against Zhengliang in the direction of the bow.What attracted Zheng Liang the most was that beside the chair, Zheng Liang saw a beautiful woman.A beautiful woman with golden hair and a beautiful golden silk cat.
