0486 Water Releaser
Luo Yan looked down at the cliff without looking back, and saw the sentinel ship outside the island at a glance. Something that surprised Luo Yan even more appeared! The sentinel ship actually lit a lantern at the bow and stern! Under the light of the moon and lanterns, the sentinel ship stopped there in great shape! Don't you know the rules of sentry? Are you afraid that others won't know you're on guard?
Luo Yan pursed his lips, turned around and pointed to a person casually and said, "You go and inform the Black Swan and tell them that they can release the water ghosts!" ”
The man immediately turned away. And Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, ready to enjoy a good show. Several other people also sat down with laughter.
The big man climbed down the rope and rowed back to the messenger boat. Before he could board the ship, a human head poked out of the side of the ship and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”
The big man said proudly: "It's done!" It's time to release the water ghost! ”
The man on the boat chuckled twice, reached out and grabbed his arm and pulled him aboard. Then he turned around and said, "Captain, the top has succeeded!" It's time to release the water ghost! ”
The captain immediately jumped into the cabin excitedly. In a short time, more than 30 people dressed in rain skins and water came out of the cabin. These people are all selected by Liu Pei from the fleet and are good at water-based sailors. The water they wore was a necessity for the sailors to maintain their ships. However, while they put on water support, they also smeared a lot of oil on their bodies to maintain their body temperature. They all had short knives and axes pinned to their waists. A short bell was also wrapped in layers of oiled paper on his chest.
Then the captain who walked out said in a deep voice: "Brothers! It's up to everyone! Don't be beaten by the guys in the Intelligence Bureau! ”
The water spirits nodded silently and slid down the cable into the water. When they had gathered in the water, they began to swim into the distance. Because the messenger ship wants to avoid the detection of the sentinel ship, it must stop on the side of the island. As a result, the sailors had to swim over the headland of an island to get close to the sentinel ship. And they also have to be careful of the dangers posed by waves and reefs. So it's been a hard journey for them. Fortunately, they all have a few gourds tied around their waists, which can increase a little buoyancy.
When the water ghosts first entered the water, they were all struggling to swim forward. By the time they turned out of the island's headland, each of them slowed down the force and frequency of their hits. Because they had already seen the lights of the sentinel ship in the distance, they had to be careful. So you can only slow down.
Luo Yan, who was sitting on the cliff, had already spotted the water ghosts. After all, he was sitting on a high place, and the moonlight was good tonight. In addition, he was deliberately looking for these water ghosts, so it was easy to find that the starlight reflected on the water surface was shattered. By this sign, he spotted the water ghosts.
Luo Yan sighed in his heart, these guys are really good swimming! It can still maintain a rough formation in the water. I definitely can't do it!
Under Luo Yan's gaze, the sailors slowly approached the sentinel ship. At this time, Luo Yan's heart was raised! He was afraid that the people on the sentry boat would poke their heads out and glance at the surface of the sea at random. Because at this time, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the sea surface is brightly illuminated by the moonlight! The black head floating on the surface of the sea can never hide from people's eyes!
Luckily, however, the sentinel remained quiet and showed no signs of anyone showing up. Moreover, when the water ghosts swam under the side of the sentinel ship, they did not rush to climb to the boat, but stabilized their bodies with the help of various protruding parts of the hull to recover their strength.
Luo Yan waited patiently for nearly a quarter of an hour before he saw a figure slowly crawling towards the ship along the anchor chain. Looking at his relaxed posture, Luo Yan felt as if success was in sight!
In fact, only the sailors who climbed the ship knew the suffering! You know, climbing up the anchor chain is a test of physical strength and skill. Because the anchor chain is constantly shaking in the air, it takes a lot of strength to stabilize the body on it. At the same time, the sound of the chain colliding is very loud, so it is necessary to control the amplitude of its shaking and not make a collision sound. This places high demands on the climber.
The first water ghost who hit the head climbed to the bow of the boat very carefully, and this man was the leader of this group of water ghosts. However, he did not climb directly to the deck, but carefully wrapped his legs around the anchor chain to stabilize his body, and held the side of the ship with both hands, and looked out his eyes to the deck.
To his surprise, there was no one on deck! Then the water ghost reacted, and the people on duty at night must be there in the shipyard! The inside of the ship building can block most of the sea breeze, and people will be much more comfortable inside. And most of them were in the cabins.
With a judgment in mind, the leader of the water ghosts carefully rolled over the side of the ship, taking care not to let the sea water drip on the deck. On deck, he crouched on the ground, lowered his body to the window of the ship's building, and slowly touched the foremast. After pausing for a moment in the shadow of the lantern, he slowly stood up in the direction of the bow of the boat, and reached out to extinguish the candle in the lantern.
As soon as the lantern went out, it was dark on the foredeck. The water ghost leader carefully took two steps back and hid on the side of the ship. After waiting for a long time, he made sure that no one in the ship was awake, so he relaxed and turned his body to the side of the ship.
He stood on the string of the boat, took a small roll of string from his waist and went down the side of the ship. Soon, he felt the string in his hand being pulled three times, and he began to gently retract the rope. The rope was quickly retracted to the end, with two steel claws attached to the ropes.
The leader of the water ghosts untied the steel claws, placed one of them on the inside of the ship's side, and pressed it so hard that the tip of its claw was silent, deeply embedded in the wood of the ship's side. Then he shook the rope gently, and felt that the rope was taut by the external force, so he took two or three steps gently in the direction of the bow, and as he did, he attached the second steel claw to the side of the ship. When he saw that the rope was also taut, he knew that someone was climbing up the rope, so he left with confidence.
The leader of the water ghosts did not care about his companions who were climbing, and he had already crept to the door of the building boat and stood there. Listening to the movement inside, I was wary of someone suddenly appearing. When he was sure that it was still quiet in the shipbuilding, he silently unwrapped the package on his chest, took out a short axe and held it in his left hand, and then took out a short axe from his waist and held it in his right hand, ready for battle.
After a few moments, he felt a gentle tap on his arm. He knew it was his companion who had come aboard. So without looking back, he pointed his axe at the stern of the ship. His companion silently groped towards the stern of the ship.
Before they went into the water, the water ghosts had already made a rough plan. It is to divide the people into three parts, and the least part of the people is responsible for attacking the enemy in the shipyard. The rest of the men split into two parts and attacked the interior of the ship from the two hatches in the bow and stern to clear all the enemies.
As there were more and more people on the deck, the hatchet in the hands of the water ghost leader became tighter and tighter. He knew the battle was about to begin. He never expected to be able to bring everyone to the ship quietly! In his opinion, it was an impossible task! Because these sailors live on ships, they are used to being rough, and they will definitely not be like those trained Jianghu people in the Intelligence Bureau, who can act lightly and kill the enemy quietly. So the fight will most likely start after some reckless guy knocks something down!
Sure enough, not long after this thought arose, a young water ghost seemed to be paralyzed from being in the water for a long time when he came up from the side of the boat. He didn't hold it when he drew the short knife at his waist, and he dropped the short knife on the deck with a loud "bang" and a series of knife bullets!
At this moment, everyone's movements on the deck instantly stiffened, as if they had been hit by the group immobilization method, and they all froze there! Everyone turned their heads and looked viciously at the young man who had already regretted it and turned pale with surprise.
The leader of the water ghosts glared at him viciously, and then turned his head as fast as he could. He seemed to hear voices coming from inside the shipbuilding. Sure enough, the leader of the water ghosts thought, good spirits are not bad spirits! And it makes you feel good when you think about it!
