Chapter 447: Sea Wolf! Sea wolf! (Next)
In the storm, Dugu Qingyun tied a rope around his waist, and with the skills of a martial artist, he went up to the hanging bucket standing on the top of the three-story building with great effort.
"Where is the fire, where is the ......" approached the sentry who tied himself to the pillar, Dugu Qingyun didn't finish a word, and he had already seen a faint glimmer of fire appear far away on the right side of the boat.
Cave! Island! The moment he saw the faint firelight, Dugu Qingyun's mind first reacted to these two words.
The fire that can not be extinguished in this weather must have a shelter from the wind and rain, and if it can withstand the strong wind and let the fire shine through, it will inevitably be a cave.
"Send a signal for the Eighth ship to come over and find its way, to remind them to be careful, to watch out for reefs or cliffs." Dugu Qingyun, who was in the excitement of discovering the land, roared in the sentry's ear with almost all his strength, not caring whether it would deaf his ears.
"Dragonhead, it's so dark that the Eighth ship can't see our signal at all." After the equally excited sentry drew the order flag on his waist, he was stunned to find that it was impossible to complete Dugu Qingyun's request.
Although the 'sea wolf' would use a lantern at night, it would only be used in weather when there were no wind and waves, and in a strong wind like the one now, it would not even be able to light a fire, let alone use a paper lantern.
"Hell weather on donkey days." Dugu Qingyun also discovered this problem under the reminder of the sentry, and after scolding helplessly, he let him continue to watch above, and by the way, he untied the rope from his waist and handed it to him, so that he could catch it.
Dugu Qingyun planned to fight, and his boat took the initiative to lean over to explore the way, and the rope left for the sentry was for him to pull and remind him to avoid it in an emergency.
As for the fact that he no longer has a rope on his body, he can't take care of it now, if he can't get ashore and can't escape a death, it makes no difference whether he is early or late.
As for the ships that have lost contact, we can only hope that these guys have some brains and can take the initiative to approach after seeing the fire.
Climbed down from the bucket against the wind and waves, and then moved to the rudder position, without the fixation of the rope, every step had to be taken carefully, which made him almost use all his strength, Dugu Qingyun, who was in his forties, collapsed to the ground after informing the helmsman of the direction, allowing others to re-tie the rope on his waist, and could not move for half a minute.
It's really so tiring, not to mention taking one step and two steps back along the way, but also maintaining a balance, and paying more attention to not being blown away by the wind, which is more dangerous than fighting the enemy on the battlefield.
After all, there must be comrades-in-arms on the battlefield to help cover them, but they can only rely on themselves on this ship, and the more people there are, the more dangerous it is, and they are likely to be implicated by others and fall into the sea together.
But Dugu Qingyun likes this kind of life, this is so exciting, the adrenaline rushes all the way, the heart contracts violently, and when he struggles on the edge of death, he feels that the blood all over his body is boiling.
In his thoughts, the hull shook violently, then shook, and then there was a violent trembling.
"Faucet, we're stranded! But the waves around us were so strong that they kept pushing us ashore. Dugu Qingyun, who had regained some strength, was helped up, and standing on the bow of the boat, he could already see the beach outside.
The helmsman's luck on that donkey day was really good, and he was able to find a beach in the dark, and rushed up.
"Organize manpower, disembark and organize defense!" Dugu Qingyun is a veteran of the battlefield in the end, and his first reaction after finding that he was stranded was not the boat, but the fire he had just seen on the boat.
If there is fire, there will inevitably be people, this broken place is not familiar with the place, who knows what kind of lynx beasts are on the island, if there is no defense, they were raided by these guys, and finally did not die in the sea, but died in the hands of the natives on the isolated island, it is a shame to throw home.
So, in the incessant shaking of the hull, the weapons compartment was opened, and the steel crossbows, horizontal knives, and short spears were distributed one by one.
Before the storm began, the weapons were confiscated uniformly, leaving only a triangular thorn in each person.
This is to prevent the weapon from falling and injuring people when the hull is shaking, and also to prevent the weapon from being lost.
After all, they are a lone army above the sea, without any supplies, and the loss of weapons is basically equivalent to the loss of most of their combat effectiveness.
"Hurry up, move fast, get off the boat and immediately rush to the shore for Lao Tzu, hurry up, are you dead, hurry up." Although his soldiers were already increasing their speed as soon as possible, Dugu Qingyun was still urging.
The night is dark and the wind is high and the waves are so big, who knows if there will be other warships suddenly rushing over, facing the building boat, those soldiers who are already standing in the seawater, struggling to run to the shore are no different from ants, as long as the boat rushes up, it will immediately be crushed into meatloaf.
"......Boom" There was another roar not far away, and a huge shadow appeared about a hundred paces away, and it was obvious that another boat had washed up on the beach.
"Send someone to contact them, look at the damage, and then get him off the boat immediately, there may be a bigger collision in a while."
"Whoa!"
The army is an army in the end, and the speed of disembarkation and retreat is the same as that of the pirates in the past.
After the order was given, all the people disembarked, everyone only carried their own weapons and equipment, without hesitation, without questioning, after the tea time, everyone left the ship and retreated to the shore.
One ship, two ships, until the eighteenth collision, Dugu Qingyun never heard a ship run aground or collide again.
Of the twenty-four warships, only eighteen were able to arrive safely, and in fact, six were not heard from, and in such bad weather, they could almost have been sentenced to death.
Dugu Qingyun's estimate of the attack did not come, and after no other ships arrived, the sailors boarded again and unloaded some supplies from the ship, tents, medicines, and spirits, .......
The wounded were carried into tents to rest, and the warriors of the 'sea wolves' continued to expand their defenses as long as they were not injured, except that they had to stay away from the jungle offshore.
In the country of Linyi, they had seen the blow arrows used by the natives, which were mortal within a few dozen steps, so in this dark weather, it was better not to go near the jungle.
Far away from the sea, life should be saved, although the 'sea wolf' has the determination to fight the heavens and the earth, but if you can not die, it is better not to die.
Dugu Qingyun also regained his strength at this time, and organized people to start inspecting the ships, trying to find a few that were not seriously damaged, and when the wind was lighter in the morning, he went out to look for those missing ships and soldiers, but after all, it was not sure that they were really all dead, and if they could save one, save one.
