Under the north cliff, because it is a sheltered place, most of the island's ships dock here. There are thousands of pirate boats, and except for a few places where the waves are rough, there are scattered ships in all the places that can shelter from the wind.

Liang Qi went down to the bottom of the cliff and walked not far along the cliff wall when he saw two small boats under the mangrove forest on the shore. Liang Qi chose a small boat with a sail, as a bandit from Guishan Island who had been floating in the water for a long time, he naturally knew the danger of navigating the boat in the wind and waves. I also know what the consequences will be if the sails are erected. But he had no choice, because in order to catch up with the officers and soldiers who had already turned around and evacuated, he had to make a move, otherwise it would be impossible to catch up at all.

Liang Qi is not afraid of death, it's just that when Lin Jue and Gao Muqing were arguing about who would risk going to sea, none of the two asked him to take the risk. This made Liang Qi feel deeply. Although Liang Qi is a bandit, he is a righteous person. When a man respects him, he respects him. This kind of person is the most likely to stick a knife in the ribs of others. What's more, from last night to now, he has followed Lin Jue and Gao Muqing from birth to death, and has done big things that he has never done in his life, and he has already admired Lin Jue's courage in his heart. As a scholar who didn't know martial arts, Lin Jue showed more courage than he knew. Liang Qi was naturally unwilling, he didn't want Lin Jue to take risks, but he hid aside. So he acted resolutely and put life and death aside.

The boat quickly went ashore, and when the sails were raised, it was even faster with the help of a strong wind. And Liang Qi also felt the power of the sea breeze and waves. The boat is not so much sailing on the surface of the sea as it is jumping on the sea. When a big wave comes, the boat flies into the air, and then jumps up and down to another wave under the force of the wind, which is a terrifying feeling.

When the waves were rising, a huge wall of water was erected in all directions of the boat. The next moment, the boat suddenly seemed to be on the top of the peaks. Liang Qi had never experienced this kind of experience. Although in the Guishan Island cottage, Liang Qi should be one of the people with the best boat skills and the best water nature. Because as the guard of the old village owner, not only does it require good kung fu, but these two are also necessary skills. But at this moment, Liang Qi felt that all the boating skills were useless, his life could only rely on God's favor, he could only rely on instinct, mechanical paddling, and he didn't know whether the operation was right or wrong.

In any case, the wind-swept sails carried the boat on the surface of the sea and headed northwest at a rapid pace. The officers and men who turned around did not dare to raise their sails, and they only relied on manpower to control the direction and rely on the force of the surging waves, which would be more stable. Because of this, the distance between the small boat and the large ship of officers and soldiers is rapidly narrowing.

……

The fleet of officers and men had completely turned around, and the rear team had become the front team, preparing to retreat to Sea King Island to avoid the wind and waves. Yan Zhengsu sat in the hall of the empty dragon-headed ship, and his mood was complicated. Avoiding defeat was something he had already thought about from the beginning, but this time the bandits were forced to announce their retreat in this way, which made him very panicked. As a perfectionist, he agreed to come to suppress bandits, but he didn't want to leave Hangzhou and leave behind the stubborn disease of banditry, which could not be cured. Hangzhou under his rule can be said to be in order in all aspects, but this is the only thing that cannot be relieved. That's why he agreed to come and suppress the bandits.

But now this kind of result, Yan Zhengsu has added a new blockage. Although it seems that the officers and men are victorious, in fact it gives people an extremely uncomfortable sense of frustration. Besides, Lin Jue was still on Peach Blossom Island, and he had to give up on him, which also made Yan Zhengsu very unhappy.

"Lord Yan, Lord Yan, something strange, come up and take a look." Wang Kai's voice came from the staircase leading to the top of the ship. Xiao Wangye, Song Yanping, Wang Kai and others all climbed to the top of the ship tower to observe and command the evacuation of the fleet, but Yan Zhengsu did not follow.

"What?" Yan Zhengsu stood up and asked.

"Come up and take a look." Wang Kai shouted.

Yan Zhengsu frowned and walked up the stairs, and after passing the second floor, he climbed up the wooden ladder to the top of the ship. As soon as he appeared, the wind mixed with the rain almost made him breathless.

"Don't help Lord Yan yet. Lord Yan, it's windy and rainy here, and the ground is slippery, so be careful. The little prince Guo Kun turned his head and shouted beside the railing in front of him.

The two guards hurriedly stepped forward to help, solemnly waved their hands to stop it, and walked cautiously to the railing.

"What happened?" Yan Zhengsu asked.

"Your Excellency, look at the sea over there." Wang Kai stretched out his hand and pointed at the sea in the distance.

Yan Zhengsu shielded himself from the wind and rain with his hands, squinting his eyes and looking at the sea, the distance of several big ships was a rough wave, and he couldn't see anything.

"What? I didn't see anything. Yan Zhengsu shouted.

"Lord Yan is old, and his eyesight is not good. Lord Yan, look at the back of the last warship, there is a small black spot. See? It was a small boat, and it was sailing. It's really a shame, the pirates are going to try to see if they can chase us? I think they're crazy. Guo Kun laughed loudly.

Yan Zhengsu ignored Guo Kun's ridicule, squinted carefully, and sure enough, he saw the boat in the valley of the waves. As Guo Kun said, the boat really sailed and haunted the waves.

"It's strange, Hai Dongqing can't be so stupid, this little boat is really weird. There's really a guy up there. Song Yanping frowned.

Yan Zhengsu frowned and thought about it, but he didn't have a clue. Everyone silently watched the boat rise and fall in the wind and waves, and they actually knew in their hearts that the boat would not last long. Sure enough, only a moment later, the boat was thrown high out of the sea and was never seen again. Apparently it has been overturned.

"Dead, our big ship has been capsized several times, and small boats don't even think about it. Are all pirates crazy and doing such crazy things? Ladies and gentlemen, we don't have to eat here in the wind and rain, let's go down to the boat hall and drink tea. The fleet had all turned around, and it was half an hour before Neptune Island arrived. Guo Kun said.

Song Yanping and Wang Kai nodded yes. Everyone walked towards the staircase below. Wang Kai said to Yan Zheng, who was stunned: "Lord Yan, let's go down." ”

Yan Zhengsu didn't answer, just stood there stunned. Wang Kai thought about it, lowered his head and walked behind Guo Kun and Song Yanping. Suddenly, Yan Zhengsu shouted, "Give the order quickly, go and save people." ”

"What?" Guo Kun, Song Yanping and others were surprised and turned back.

"Hurry up and give the order to save people, that little boat...... It must be Lin Jue's boat that escaped from Peach Blossom Island, how can we not save it? Who will sail away from the island at this time? It must have been Lin Jue who saw that we had given up attacking the island and chose to flee, what other way did they have to live? Quick, order quickly. Yan Zhengsu was a little incoherent with excitement.

After saying it solemnly, several people immediately felt that it made sense, and it was very likely that Lin Jue was forced to flee by boat in a helpless boat. Wang Kai immediately gave the order, and the soldiers waved the flag to inform the rear ship, and the order was quickly conveyed.

A few people returned to the railing and looked back. Not long after, the two warships that had been dragged behind began to turn around and make their way towards the overturned place of the boat. In the midst of anxious waiting, the flag came with the news that the man who had fallen into the water had been rescued.

"Stop the boat, wait for them to send people over, I don't know if it's Lin Jue." Yan Zhengsu said with great joy.

The entire fleet was moored, and soon after, the ship that had saved the man from the water came with difficulty and landed on the dragon's head. Several soldiers stood on the side of the boat and supported a soaking wet, long-haired man, who seemed to be choking on water, and his whole head hung down, and he could only stand with the support of those around him.

After finally sending the man over the boat, Yan Zhengsu stepped forward and picked up the man's long hair for the first time, and after seeing the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but be disappointed. That's not Lin Jue at all.

The man was in a semi-unconscious state, unable to speak. The crowd hurriedly led him to the ship's hall, covered him with a dry blanket, and poured hot tea for him to drink, when the man suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of seawater, and then opened his eyes.

"Who are you? Why did you chase us by boat off the island? Yan Zhengsu asked.

"Where is this?" The man replied in a non-conformist manner.

"This is a big ship of officers and soldiers, who are you?" Yan Zhengsu asked again.

"Officers and soldiers? That's great, it's a ...... Caught up. "Which one is the little prince? Which one is Lord Yan? Who is Lord Song of Ning Haijun? Liang Qi burst into tears and shouted repeatedly.

……

Above the northwest wharf of Taohua Island, Hai Dongqing and others paid close attention to the movements of the officers and men's fleet. When the boat capsized at sea, Hai Dongqing breathed a long sigh of relief. They also saw the situation of two warships coming to the rescue, but Hai Dongqing believed that no one could survive the time after falling into the water.

Half an hour later, however, there was a new movement in the big ship of the officers and men. Under the gaze of Hai Dongqing and others, the entire fleet suddenly began to turn around and slowly approached Peach Blossom Island again.

"Holy Father, something is wrong." Xu Xing said softly.

Hai Dongqing's face turned pale, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Is the cableway completed?" Has the supplies already started to be delivered? Can anyone tell me. ”

"Holy Father, the ropeway is almost ready, and a little bit is fine. It's coming, it's coming. One of the leaders stammered in reply.

"It's almost ...... Fuck your thighs...... It's too late. Hai Dongqing scolded.

Xu Xing hurriedly said: "Holy Father, don't panic, you can't shake the heart of the army at this time." ”

Hai Dongqing scolded angrily: "The military heart that shakes a fart is all waste. Well, very good, they still have to attack, thinking that we are easy to bully. What if you don't have arrow defense? What about hard hits? My Peach Blossom Island brother is not a bear bag. Come on, immediately mobilize all the manpower to come here, and let's fight them to the death. If you want to occupy my Peach Blossom Island, ask the guy in my hand, and ask me if Hai Dongqing's brothers will agree. ”

"Yes, ask us if we will say yes. Brothers, fight with them. The surrounding leaders howled. Tens of thousands of pirate soldiers also quickly screamed.

Just when the island was screaming, more than 100 warships of the Ning Navy's navy were approaching Peach Blossom Island with a fierce momentum. The earth-shattering war drums resounded across the sea, and the dragon-headed big ship raised the banner of attack, and in the sound of war drums, more than a dozen big ships took the lead in charging towards the dock with the power of the waves.
