Chapter 400 The Turtle in the Urn (Subscribe)

The Ping An and their three flagships returned to Guangfu loaded with Dengzhou specialties, and they are still waiting for their luck on the Spice Island. Every trip is a lot of money.

Moreover, freshwater rivers like the Yellow River are not suitable for Ping An, as they are not suitable in terms of volume and draft.

So Lin Sen rented a large local ship in the style of a sandboat. This type of ship is more suitable for inland travel. The flatter and wider hull will be more stable, and of course it will carry a lot more cargo.

The boat that Lin Sen rented is the largest model that can be seen here, and such a boat will be more comfortable.

On the whole ship, Lin Sen and his guards actually accounted for the majority of the personnel. Apart from the necessary crew members, there were no additional belts other than the necessary crew to ensure that the ship could be driven normally to the place closest to Chang'an City. Too many people coming up.

The Peaceful has a large crew and is ready for war at any time. The open sea is not so peaceful, and they can be turned into warships at any time. Naturally, they need to bring more manpower.

But the sand boat that Lin Sen was riding on now didn't have this need. Except for himself, there was nothing expensive on the whole boat.

Lin Sen didn't think those water bandits would come and fight for a boatload of dried fish. They had to do some homework anyway, so they wouldn't be so hungry.

As for the news that he was going back to Chang'an soon, the number of people who knew about it was relatively limited. At least along the line from Dengzhou to Lingnan, those who knew about it were basically his partners, and there was no reason to sell him.

What's more, the sandboat under his seat was hired casually after he arrived in Dengzhou. Due to the impact of the flood, and the business here in Dengzhou was not as busy as that in Panyu's side, there are many boats that can be used. There are both big and small, so Lin Sen feels that his whereabouts should not be leaked so easily.

After all, it is not just a phone call in future generations that can let people thousands of miles away know your location, and it takes a lot of time to receive the letter.

Besides, running back by boat is more comfortable, and it is also less likely to be ambushed. Its position is too erratic, and it cannot be intercepted casually. It is not so easy to handle with the size of this big sand ship.

But if you go by land, if you encounter an ambush, it is often a pocket formation, which requires a lot of hands and feet.

He was already so at odds with the aristocratic family, to the point where he would never die, and there was an accident that Ping An almost encountered an accident before, so Lin Sen was so concerned about his own safety.

He also felt that his arrangements were quite comprehensive, and the possibility of encountering accidents should be small, so apart from arranging for the guards to keep vigilant, he himself lived in seclusion.

There are fewer times to get off the boat to rest along the way, just to reduce the possibility of being informed of Xingzang by the enemy.

Of course, on the other hand, I really miss my wife and children, and I am eager to go back, so I don't want to waste too much time on the road.

It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.

That night, Lin Sen was sleeping soundly in the cabin, and had a good dream. He dreamed that Xiao Pingan ran into his arms and called Dad after seeing him come home.

But the style of painting changed suddenly in the back, he was hugging Xiaopingan and laughing in circles, he threw the little guy up like a small plane, but one guy let go, Xiaopingan flew out directly, "Plop" a guy fell into the water inside!

Lin Sen woke up from fright at that time, and then he heard the sound of "Plop~Putong~" falling into the water in a daze.

Carefully got up and picked up the weapon, and knocked on the bulkheads on both sides at the same time, reminding the guards that Lin Sen was arming himself while watching the movement of the hatch.

When he quietly but quickly put on his clothes and even put on his armor, there was a knock on the door, the kind with a code.

"What's going on?" Lin Sen asked carefully as he opened the hatch, ready to transform the entire cabin at any time, so as to make it his last fortress.

"The ship dropped anchor just now, and the crew and the owner all dived into the water. Because we didn't get your order from the owner, our people didn't attack these crew members. Now we are the only people left on the whole ship.

In addition, there are two large ships approaching quickly behind them. It seems that there are a lot of people. They should want to fight on board. They are not equipped with rams, and no large weapons are seen. "

Lin Sen's guards were indeed outside, and they were quickly reporting the current situation in a low voice.

After all, it is in the territory of Datang, and the crew members should not be treated as enemies directly.

"How are the river beaches on both sides?" Lin Sen asked calmly.If he is not calm, he is afraid that his subordinates will be more likely to panic.

But the current situation is obviously very unfavorable to his own side, and he was clearly ambushed, so his first thought was to abandon the ship and escape.

In a real boarding battle, they will be very passive.

The number of enemies on the two big ships is definitely considerable, at least ten times more than theirs, so the threat is not insignificant.

The sand ship is a ship with a square head and a square tail, commonly known as "square boat", with a spacious deck surface, small depth, and low freeboard.

This is its advantage, making it less resistant on the water surface, faster, and less likely to be stranded, especially when navigating on inland rivers with relatively shallow water and many sandy beaches.

But in the current situation, it has become the biggest shortcoming. The deck is too spacious and the ship's side is low, which makes Lin Sen and the others vulnerable in the boarding battle.

The party with more people naturally has the advantage and can use it to its fullest.

There are less than 30 of them, and it is impossible to hold the deck at all, and they will be overwhelmed by the enemies rushing up in an instant.

"The river here is turbulent, and it is night, we are not familiar with the water conditions, and the danger of diving is relatively high.

There are more trees on both sides of the bank, and it is impossible to confirm whether there is an ambush on both banks on the boat. "The guard leader shook his head and said helplessly.

With the current situation, it's really hard to say what's going on on the shore. Since the enemy chose such a place with no front to the village and no back to the store, they couldn't even see individual ships, so it's not surprising that there are other ambushes around.

The point is that they don't often run this line after all, and jumping in this water condition is indeed more likely to be fatal.

In case there is a sandy nest or aquatic plants at the bottom, this jump may mess up the inside, and it will be goodbye without even a bubble coming out.

Nima, no matter how you look at it, the enemy is determined to eat their own side. The place they chose is too fucked up, and it directly makes them a turtle in the urn.

"Is the hull okay? Is there any water?" Although Lin Sen was scolding non-stop in his heart, his face was still very calm.

The guards who gathered here showed no signs of panic at all, and their morale was available.

"Those crew members have been watched by our people all the time, and have no chance to tamper with it, so there is no leak.

In addition, there is no need to worry that the enemy will send water ghosts over. With this current, no water ghosts should be able to rely on it. "The guard leader calmly answered Lin Sen's question.

They have all experienced many storms and waves together with Lin Sen, and the current situation will not make them mess up, besides, there is the backbone of the Patriarch, who can always create miracles.

The big deal is to die in battle, and you must always work hard to protect the Patriarch's integrity.

"But I'm afraid that the enemy will set fire to the ship." The guard leader thought for a while, and still expressed his biggest worry.

Although knowing that this would be a big blow to morale, it was better than facing the worst situation unprepared.
