Chapter 439: Good Widows
"Nine! Nine big ships are completely ruined! Haha......" Liao Yongan stood on the roof of the cabin and patted Ma Du on the shoulder excitedly, "Xuanzhong, this dragon king you got out of the water is better than artillery in the sea!" ”
"It's only nine, what are you excited about, there are nearly 100 big ships of the Japanese Kou, and such a loss is not at all painful for them."
"What do you know, being able to sink nine big ships in a water battle is already a rare good record, don't look at the battle of Poyang Lake and Chen Youliang's earth-shaking battle, I heard that most of them were burned, and the number that was really sunk is not much." Liao Yongan, as the marshal of the navy, failed to participate in the Battle of Poyang Lake, which was simply a regret among his regrets.
Ma Du said: "I think I should take advantage of the chaos to give the Japanese a few more iron bullets to try." ”
Liao Yongan nodded, "Good idea, this fighter is very accurate, and it looks like a commander." The ships were ordered to adjust their course to the southwest, and to fire two more rounds of solid shells. ”
The order was passed down quickly, and the ships of the Ming army made a small half-turn, and at the same time adjusted the muzzles, so that of course, in order to facilitate the escape, Liao Yongan was not ordinarily cautious.
After two rounds of artillery went down, most of them fell into the sea as before, and they didn't really shoot much on the enemy ships, and anyway, they scared the pirates a lot, and they could be heard from a long distance.
"Forget it, it's better to use mines, and firing from a long distance with a cannon is a pure waste of silver." Mado put down the binoculars in pain.
"If you are willing to suffer the casualties of your men, we are close to the attack, and all kinds of firearms in turn can always make the Japanese suffer a lot, and if you want to take advantage of it and are not willing to suffer casualties, how can there be such a good thing. And that kind of fierce fire oil is better than artillery against ships, you can use it! ”
"Don't mention that thing, Chen Youliang did burn it when he was in Poyang Lake, crying and calling his mother, but the emperor himself also suffered a lot of losses, more than ten big ships and dozens of small boats. We only have a dozen ships in total, and if we are not careful, we will have to get into it, if it is not a matter of life and death, it is better not to use it. ”
The Ming army ran away immediately after the cannon, and the Japanese were always chasing, they understood that as long as they stopped, the Ming army would come over and bite like jackals, if they turned around and fled, the Ming army would be more unscrupulous to chase after the back of the ass and bite the loss would only be greater, and now the Japanese are riding tigers south.
The pursuit at sea lasted from noon until dark, and the Ming army, with its mines and artillery, had already destroyed nearly 30 large ships of the Japanese Invaders, which was already a great result.
The bright moon rising above the sea is definitely a rare beauty, the silver moon is suspended in the sky, reflecting the sparkling waves on the empty and vast sea, it is really easy to stand on the roof of the warehouse and listen to the surging waves blowing gusts of sea breeze...... Cold.
"Ahh Liao Yongan sneezed heavily.
Ma Du hurriedly protected the bowl, "I said Lao Liao, can you be more particular, if you spray my bowl like this, I still want to eat." ”
Liao Yongan said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say, you passed on the wind and cold to me, you are fine now, I am sick to see who commands the war." ”
Ma Du sniffed and felt very smooth, and the cool air was refreshing, "Hey, it's really good." However, I can tell you from the perspective of a professional doctor that my cold has cured, not that it is better to pass it on to you. ”
He held the bowl and continued to pull vegetables into his mouth, it was not a good dish, but it was pork stewed bean sprouts, he couldn't eat fruits and vegetables in the sea life, he could only use bean sprouts to supplement vitamins, and the Three Treasures eunuch could sail thousands of miles, thanks to the bean sprouts.
He was about to vomit after eating the bean sprouts, but he couldn't eat them, and in retrospect, he should have accepted the blackened bananas sent by the Taiwanese natives.
"It's hard for you to still have the heart to eat! Word came from the tail ship, and the Japanese were still following. ”
"What's wrong? Didn't they follow them for most of the day? Madu took a bite full of his head and stuffed his mouth to the brim.
Liao Yongan shook his head slightly, and pondered: "Things don't seem to be so simple, if they don't escape at night, then there will be no chance to escape, they can only be consumed by us, and now they are still chasing, they must be fighting with us, do they have anything to do?" ”
Seeing that Liao Yongan's face was solemn, Ma Du didn't eat anymore, and asked, "What do they do?" ”
Liao Yongan scolded: "Where do I know, I will go to bed quickly after eating, I will sleep in the first half of the night, and you will sleep in the second half of the night." After saying that, he picked up the bowl and shaved the vegetables in his mouth, and when he was done, he patted his ass and returned to the cabin.
Lao Liu took a big coat and put it on Ma Du, "Master Hou put it on, don't get sick again!" ”
In fact, the location where they are now should belong to the South China Sea, although the night of Layue is not very warm, but wearing fur is really a bit exaggerated.
"Don't worry, I'm cured, Lao Liu, you go and boil some ginger soup for the Duke of the Fallen Kingdom, and give him some of my kind of medicine, all counting on him to command the battle."
"Okay!" Lao Liu answered and got off the roof.
Zhang Wuliu saw that there were still leftovers in Ma Du's bowl, so he habitually took it and stuffed it into his mouth, "Master Hou and I think this battle is nothing to do, although there are many Japanese robbers, we have firearms, and it is very good to be able to command you as well." ”
Ma Du turned his head to look at him and smiled: "Are you worried that the credit has been snatched away by the Duke of the Fallen Kingdom?" Don't worry, he can't be sealed, and the credit is naturally Hou Ye and me, he came out this time to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and second, it can be regarded as returning my favor. Don't worry about it, just eat well. ”
He looked down and down, "Deflated head, you keep the soldiers on duty awake, whoever dares to sleep will cut off his head!" ”
He raised his head and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, we promise to be optimistic!" ”
Time passed slowly, the full moon was close to mid-sky, and the tail ship would wear the situation of the enemy ship every other time of incense, everything was very normal, but the more it was like this, the more uneasy Ma Du felt.
Could it be that the Japanese are really stupid, and they want to consume the Ming army to the end, which will not benefit them at all, if not, the Japanese will definitely have a back hand that has not yet been revealed.
While he was pondering, he heard a deflated head shouting: "Master Hou has a situation!" ”
Ma Du a spirit stood up from the cabin, he hadn't come down yet, Liao Yongan had already rushed out of the cabin, obviously he didn't have the heart to sleep, he just heard him ask: "What's the situation!" ”
"Front...... There seems to be a ship ahead! ”
Madu hurried to the bow of the boat and looked in the direction of the deflated fingers.
On the night of the full moon, the visibility on the sea was still okay, and I saw that a little white sail was faintly visible directly in front of the Ming army, taking advantage of the color to sail towards us.
Liao Yongan was stunned, stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the side of the ship, gritted his teeth and said, "What a wolf!" ”
