Chapter 144: Rock Climbing
Zhang Hu looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers who came down from the Fu ship, those fierce pirates did not have the arrogance of the past, and some were just happy for the rest of their lives.
Of the twenty-six people on board, only five were intact, and the rest were covered in wounds.
Especially Ma Tao, the boss of his boat, has been coughing up blood since he got off the boat. The shout just now almost used up all his strength, and he had a chopstick-long sawdust stuck in his chest.
Zhang Hu asked eagerly: "Where is the second Qian?" And what about his fleet? Why did you come back in one boat? ”
Ma Tao's chest rose and fell violently, as if he had a thousand words to say. But the sawdust stuck in his chest seemed to be shaking with his breath, like an awl stirring on Ma Tao's chest.
Ma Tao calmed down and said: "Big boss, this guy who eats raw rice is a Xiyi red-haired ghost!" ”
Ma Tao's words detonated the audience, how could the pirates never think that the Xiyi people, who have always been with them and do not violate the river water, would attack the Shark Gang?
"Can you see clearly?" Zhang Hu asked suspiciously.
"The big boss, the one who negotiates with Qian Er's boss is a red-haired ghost. And they also took the Xiyi big splint boat, and Qian Er's boat was captured by the big plywood. Ma Tao's words once again deepened his persuasiveness.
There is a big plywood ship in Xiyi, it can't be wrong, they have not gotten a sea boat like that for many years! Not to mention a group of new people who have gone to sea.
Zhang Hu was furious when he heard this, he didn't care what Xiyi people were or not Xiyi people. As long as the people who dare to touch his shark gang, they must be ready to die.
He stood up and yelled at the dock: "Everyone put Lao Tzu on the boat, Lao Tzu wants to meet this group of guys who eat raw rice for a while!" ”
Zhang Hu was about to move but found that his trouser leg was being pulled by someone, he looked down and saw that Ma Tao on the ground was holding Zhang Hu with his hand. The strength he used was so great that blood kept flowing out of his mouth, but Ma Tao didn't know it.
Zhang Hu leaned down again and said, "Brother Ma! What do you still have unfulfilled wishes, as long as I Zhang Hu can do it, I will never refuse! ”
Seeing that Zhang Hu stopped, Ma Tao let go of his clenched hand. He coughed violently for a while before saying, "Big boss, our Shark Gang has lost enough. There must be no more slip-ups, or the puppies will not be able to sit still. ”
Zhang Hu listened to Ma Tao's words and felt that it made sense, he was able to rule the waters of Fujian by relying on more people and more ships. If his strength is seriously damaged, how many people will be willing to listen to him?
Ma Tao saw Zhang Hu falling into deep thought and then said: "The second master is right! We should distribute the hero stickers widely and let the helmsmen of the entire Fujian Province deal with the red-haired Xiyi people. Even if we use the boat pile, we can pile up that group of people. If you are in charge, you must think twice! ……”
Looking at Ma Tao, who stopped breathing and was still staring at his eyes, Zhang Hu couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. This is the person who is dedicated to Zhang Hu for him and for the Shark Gang.
Ordered people to bury Ma Tao thickly, and Zhang Hu posted heroic posts all over the place, inviting his fellow helmsmen from Fujian to jointly deal with the red-haired ghosts of Xiyi entrenched on Qingtan Island.
It didn't take long for 300 sea vessels to gather on South Shark Island. There are all kinds of these sea ships, all kinds of things, and South Shark Island is about to catch up with a Chinese ship exhibition.
Zhang Hu is also having a headache for the new pirates, these pirates are here to help, and they can't let people bring their own food! You have to take care of people's three full meals!
Boy! There were 300 sea boats, and there were 50 people, to say the least. That's almost 15,000 people, not counting the thousands of people on South Shark Island.
Just eating every day makes Zhang Hu die of a headache. That's not all, so many sea ships are crowded in the harbor of South Shark Island, and those sea ships can cover the entire harbor of South Shark Island. If you want to board the land from the gate of the water village, you don't need to take a boat at all, and you can easily go ashore by stepping on the dense sea boat.
Zhang Hu decided not to wait, and if he waited any longer, this group of pirates would be able to eat his South Shark Island. Just as he was about to give the order to set off, someone came to report: a fleet of ships came from outside, and there were hundreds of large and small warships, and it was blocked in the harbor of South Shark Island, and now all the sea ships could not leave the port.
This news surprised Zhang Hu, hundreds of sea boats, and the South Shark Island, which was blocking him, had no one else except for the group of outsiders.
Zhang Dou stood in the port of South Shark Island and looked at the forts on both sides of the port, and he didn't know how Zhang Hu got it in the first place, and actually built forts on two hills.
The battery was only three miles from the waterway, from where the cannons could easily hit the ships in the waterway.
If you want to get into the harbor of South Shark Island from the narrow waterway, you have to remove the batteries here.
If you want to use artillery to remove the battery, you have to drive the boat to shoot at the guns on the battery, and Zhang Dou can't afford such a loss. So he led the fleet to just block the port of South Shark Island and prevent the ships inside from coming out.
Although there are many boats on South Shark Island, they have to come out of the waterway one by one. When the pirate ship came out and encountered the Changsheng Island Navy blocked in the harbor, there was no difference between sending it to death, and Zhang Hu also learned the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but he didn't come out.
The two sides froze on South Shark Island all of a sudden, and Zhang Dou's ship did not have much food in stock, and he was very anxious. Zhang Hu on South Shark Island was also running out of food, and he was even more anxious. This is a contest of patience between the two sides, and whoever can't bear it first will be the result of the collapse.
The fort on the hill, on the seaside side of which is a cliff, and the waves constantly crash against the cliffs, forming a unique landscape.
Zhang Dou looked at the cliff thoughtfully and fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked, "Mabao! Can you, old brothers, go up from there? ”
Ma Bao carefully observed the cliff pointed to by Zhang Dou and said, "You can try, but I am afraid that it will be dangerous if you crawl at night and have poor vision." In the daytime, it will definitely be discovered by the people of the opposite fort, which is not easy! ”
"Huh! Let's act tonight and surprise the South Shark Island Fort! Zhang Dou said firmly.
At night, South Shark Island is lit up, and many pirates like to drink and have fun at night. The only brothel on the island is already overcrowded, and fights occur here on a daily basis.
Zhang Hu had just finished dealing with a brawl and went back to his house to sulk, and he decided to send dozens of boats out tomorrow to find the Xiyi people desperately.
Sooner or later, this group of lawless pirates would have to tear down his South Shark Island, and he fell asleep in a daze after sulking.
Zhang Dou took Ma Bao and three white-pole veterans to the bottom of the cliff in a small boat, and Zhang Dou took a rope on his back and led them to climb the cliff.
The bottom of the cliff has become so smooth that it has been washed away by the sea over the years, and it is difficult to climb it.
Fortunately, the cliff is not a flat piece, there are many cracks on it, Zhang Dou carried a crack with one hand, and climbed up as soon as he exerted his body.
As a soldier king of later generations, freehand rock climbing is a compulsory course, and Zhang Dou's second place in the all-army competition was won in this item. So he moved quickly, and after a while he was halfway up the mountain.
Ma Bao, as a member of the white pole soldiers, is also a master of mountain climbing, and he followed closely behind Zhang Dou without falling behind.
Although the remaining three were a little slower, they were all relatively steady and climbed up step by step.
Every time Zhang Dou found a strong and protruding stone, he tied the rope on his body to it, so that Ma Bao and the others under him could climb along the rope more easily.
Lan Guitian at the bottom is a member of the She ethnic group, and as a herb picker who often climbs mountains, rock climbing is almost his instinct. He continued to climb up the rope left by Zhang Dou, and as he climbed, he asked Yang Quan, the brother above.
"Brother! It's been almost four years since we left home, so you don't want to be the mother-in-law and the son-in-law at home? ”
"Why don't you want to! My brother dreams of it, but we are all dead people, and when we return home, it will affect the mother-in-law and the son-in-law of the family. Aren't you She herding herds! Why did you still have the name Heguitian? Yang Quan asked.
"You don't know! My dad was tired of herding, and he didn't have a decent home when he roamed around. In order to have a piece of land, my father gave me this name. Not to mention, my mother said: As soon as I was given this name, my father was selected to be a white pole soldier. It didn't take long for the family to divide ten acres of paddy fields, and our family finally didn't have to go around grazing anymore! Lan Guitian said.
Yang Quan heard envy and said: "Your father is really powerful, he was given ten acres of paddy field when he became a soldier." My dad is still a soldier at home! There is no field to be divided! ”
Lan Guitian's face darkened and said: "Dad died in battle as soon as he became a soldier, and those ten acres are the Yongye Field!" ”
Their conversation stopped at once, and they climbed silently without saying a word.
Lan Guitian raised his eyes and looked up habitually, and found that the stone that Yang Quan grabbed seemed to be loose. He hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Yang Quan can't catch it!" ”
