Zuo Wuwei asked them about the situation, and it turned out that after the second round of shelling, except for the ships that sank on the spot, many ships were like them, drifting all the way down the northeast wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause the ships were scattered in all directions, it was difficult for the thieves to take care of several large ships, and many of them actually escaped the second shelling.

Zuo Wuwei said: "In this way, there will be our boat drifting over." We have to think of ways to save people, let them see this side, everyone get together, there is a lot of strength, and then we can think of a way to escape back inland. ”

He was the guard of the firearms battalion, and now he was the highest official position, and he became the backbone of everyone, and this proposal was approved by everyone. So he found a hollow in the stone wall, found some branches that were not soaked, and lit them with flint. The half-wet branches burned and emitted choking smoke that shot into the air and could be seen from afar.

I don't know if I was about to hit this beach, or if I saw the fire and smoke, and the dilapidated boats ran aground nearby. At this time, the sun had not yet completely set, and some of the ships had strayed from the island, so the officers and men jumped into the water and swam to the side of the fire. Some people were exhausted and disappeared into the sea, but most of them made it to the shore with the will to survive.

The more people gathered, the beach couldn't stand. Zuo Wuwei roughly counted, and the number of people was actually as high as five or six hundred, including soldiers from the firearms battalion and pacesetter battalions.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sea breeze whined, and the people's foreheads were cold and soaked, and some people's teeth began to fight. Zuo Wuwei said in his heart that it is not possible to go on like this, although it is warm in Guangdong, it is not a way to let the wind and rain beat so wet, and the people who are beaten by iron can't stand it. So he took a few men from the firearms battalion to the surrounding area to find shelter from the wind and rain.

However, after walking more than a mile into the island, I found that the island was not only deserted, but also a flat yellow sand area as far as the eye could see, and there was no place to hide from a cave.

The soldiers of several firearms battalions couldn't help but lament: "It's really a house leak that has been rained overnight, and it is bad luck enough to suffer a defeat at sea, and I finally escaped to this island, and I don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain......

Zuo Wuwei reassured: "It's good to be able to go to this island, at least you won't sink into the sea to feed the fish in the wind and waves." Look further ahead. ”

At this time, the sun is about to go down, the visibility is very poor in the wind and rain, the yellow sand is soft after encountering the water, and one foot will fall into half a foot, and everyone can only grope forward with one foot deep and one shallow foot.

After walking for about a mile, everyone felt that the ground under their feet was slowly hardening, and it was no longer soft yellow sand. Something dark could be seen in front of me, and I didn't know if it was a tree or a beast. Someone pulled out a waist knife.

Zuo Wuwei stopped and observed, and the swarthy thing did not move.

"This thing is taller than a man, and it shouldn't be a beast or anything like that. There are very few trees on such a desert island, how can there be such a large beast. He walked first, and as far as he could see, it was indeed a tree.

The trunk of this tree is straight, like a casuarina found on the coastal islands of Guangdong. He wasn't sure in the dark, but if there were trees in the wild, they would become forests, and as long as there was a dense forest, it should still be possible to hide from the wind.

A few people carefully walked around the trees and continued on their way. The trees are getting denser and taller, the branches are intertwined, and the dense foliage forms a natural barrier that blocks a lot of rain and the wind can't blow in.

Zuo Wuwei said happily: "Hurry up and call the brothers over, build a few fires here, and you can get through." ”

The two battalion soldiers returned the same way and came to the beach and called for everyone to take shelter from the wind and rain. The crowd was at a loss, and when they heard that there was a place to hide from Daiki, they followed them to this forest.

The woods are large enough to accommodate a thousand people. After the cold and hungry officers and soldiers on the beach entered the woods, they pulled out their waist knives and cut some branches, found an open space and lit a fire.

In the evening, the wind and rain gradually subsided, and the clothes of the officers and men were dried out, and although their bellies were empty, they fell asleep from exhaustion.

There were not necessarily any hurting beasts on this desolate island, and Zuo Wuwei arranged for people to be on duty, and the rest of the people were tired and hungry, and fell asleep, and the night was safe.

On the second day, it was not until the third pole of the sun that Zuo Wuwei and the others gradually woke up, and their stomachs were growling. From the time they were attacked at sea until now, they have not eaten a grain of rice for ten hours.

Zuo Wuwei saw that there were no wild fruits in this forest except for the casuarina tree, so he proposed to go to the beach to catch fish and roast to satisfy hunger.

Hungry and weak, the hunger for food made everyone burst into amazing potential and trotted back to the beach. The impatient head and brainless rushed into the sea, using a waist knife to stab a few fish up.

The rest of the people took off their armor, rolled up their trousers and lowered their heads, and walked forward with the sea water, bypassing a stranded ship in front of them, and some people did not intend to look up, and suddenly found several tall ships lined up on the sea not far ahead, the masts towering into the sky, and the hull of the ship opened dense windows, revealing the black muzzles - this is the warship that made them feel like they had a nightmare yesterday.

The first person to see the boat was so frightened that he sat down in the sea and screamed. The rest of the people were startled by the shouting, and when they looked up, they also found these ships, and their souls flew out of the sky, and they crawled back with their belts.

With a loud "boom", a shell hit a stranded ship, scattering wood chips everywhere.

Zuo Wuwei was careful, and saw at a glance that this cannon was not the terrifying 30-pound cannon of yesterday, it was only about 10 catties, and this cannon was not aimed at people, but directly aimed at the boat -- the crowd on the beach was dense, and if a few cannons were fired, a blood gourd could be strung together. A thought flashed through him, the cannon was a warning, and he wasn't sure what it meant.

"The thieves have opened fire on us, so hurry up and run into the woods!" The officers and soldiers shouted and ran to the beach.

At this time, another cannon was fired from the opposite side, smashing the already tattered hull of the ship almost fell apart, and a cracked wooden board flew out with the sawdust, hitting a running officer and soldier, and the unlucky man passed out on the spot.

Zuo Wuwei immediately made a decision and shouted: "Everyone, don't run, stand still and they won't open fire!" ”

The officers and men were skeptical, some stopped, and some continued to run on deaf ears.

The other party used a cannon to tell them the consequences of making a choice: "boom", a shell drew an arc, crossed the heads of Zuo Wuwei and others, and landed far away on the beach, smashing a big crater. Just as the officers and men who were running were glad that they had not been hit and wanted to bypass it, the shells suddenly exploded, and the huge air wave knocked all the people around them to the ground, and the bullet shells shattered into fragments and sputtered out, and many people were hit by shrapnel and rolled on the beach screaming.
