Qin Lin gave an order, and the Lin Ying immediately turned around and headed east, but at this time, the sky was already full of stars, and it had already been the whole day since it sailed from Moon Harbor.

Lin Ying's original course was Qiongzhou in the southwest, while Luo Bu and Wawei and their entourage took Yueben in the northeast as their destination, and the two sides drove farther and farther away in the opposite direction, and when they turned around, there was a difference of one day and one night, and the Portuguese had been delayed for a long time in Yuegang, and in order to rescue their beautiful parishioners in time, they would definitely sail at full speed.

Luckily, the Hayashi Sakura was a 4,000-strong ship, and at full speed it was faster than the Portuguese schooner, and Kanesakura calculated the range on the charts, and if nothing else, she would catch up with the other party before reaching the Ryukyus.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the home port of Wufeng Maritime Merchants in Taiwan, he received a report from the official in charge of managing the port that a Portuguese schooner had just left the port after replenishing fresh water here and sailed towards the northeast route.

Finally, the gap between one day and one night was shortened to three hours, and Qin Lin and Jin Yingji both breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that there was no problem in catching up with the ragogue in the waters near the Ryukyus in the northeast.

Who knows that people are not as good as the sky, suddenly the wind and clouds suddenly changed, the southeast sky became dark and heavy, a large area of dark clouds that could not be seen pressed towards the chicken coop port, and it didn't take long for the whole sky to be as black as the bottom of a pot, and the wind was raging in the air.

"Typhoon!" Jin Yingji exclaimed, and the face of the melon seed was full of helplessness.

Qin Lin is helpless, there are many typhoons on the southeast coast in spring, I didn't expect it to come so early this year, Lin Ying can't sail, the giant ship of 4,000 materials, in the violent typhoon, it is no different from a toy.

On the wharf, the officials set up by the Yingzhou Propaganda Envoy Department rang the gong, the large and small ships were busy dropping sails, anchoring, and mooring, and the sailors hurriedly packed up the bits and pieces on the deck, and there was some calm and calm in the chaos, after all, for these men who begged for a living at sea, the typhoon was not unusual, and the ship was still parked in the port when it encountered a typhoon, which was a great luck.

Crackling! A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and soon the dark sky danced golden, and the raindrops the size of beans were wrapped in the wind, smashing their heads and faces, and the hundreds of ships moored in the harbor rose and fell with the wind and waves, as if they were raised and pressed down by an invisible giant hand.

The power of heaven and earth, as far as Si.

Only on the high mainmast lookout of the Lin Ying, a white figure stood proudly, the white frost figure rose and fell with the bumps of the ship, with a certain beautiful and mysterious rhythm, she stared at the dark and chaotic heaven and earth and the sea, the ten thousand golden snakes formed by lightning kept shining under her eyes, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier around her body, and the raindrops were bounced off before they touched the dress.

Chaos and lightning, darkness and light...... Feeling the power of heaven and earth and comprehending the power of heaven and earth is a method of cultivation of advanced martial arts, and it is also very beneficial to understand the teachings of the White Lotus Sect on the mutual transformation of darkness and light.

Inside the dry cabin, Qin Lin looked up at the voice on the mast, and suddenly touched his chin with a wicked smile: "Ahem, in fact, I think the main mast should be equipped with a lightning rod." ”

Sixty miles to the northeast, the Portuguese looked at the large dark and dreary dark clouds in the direction of the chicken coop harbor behind them, and the faintly visible lightning and thunder, and they were all very afraid, and it was nothing to stay in the harbor or stay away from the harbor, for they were afraid that they would not be able to return to the harbor just an hour or two after leaving the port, and that it was just under the cover of the storm, and this little schooner would be more than lucky.

"Lord Almighty, it is you who have saved our lost flock of lambs from the danger of the storm, and it is you who have shown us the way forward, and my faith will be ...... steadfastly" Rob knelt on the bow of the boat, constantly drawing a cross on his chest.

Vawe shook his head: "My friend, you should not be a naval officer in the Kingdom of Portugal, a Jesuit missionary is more suitable for you!" Well, the bad luck from the moon harbor is completely gone, beautiful young lady, here we are! ”

The aftermath of the typhoon blowing from the southeast alone filled the boat's spinnaker, which carried Portuguese adventurers on board and galloped towards the north-east.

More than ten days later, west of Hizen, Kitakyushu, near the Goto Islands, the Portuguese schooners were moving fast, even faster than when they came, and the sailors on board were smiling, for they had done their job perfectly, and at the request of the merciful Father Fregorio, they had saved a devout Oriental Christian from the devil, and she was so beautiful.

The usually unkempt and rude-speaking sailors have become polite gentlemen, and even the scruffiest old Jack has cleaned up his body and become refreshed, lest it be too embarrassing to be rude in front of a noble lady.

The best and cleanest cabins were vacated for the lady, the floors and walls were washed with clean water, and the cracked boards were plastered with colorful pieces of paper, and according to Vawe, "we must not let the Spirit be disgraced in the presence of the beautiful princess." ”

"Your skin is as white as milk, the flush of your cheeks reminds me of fragrant roses, the breath of your mouth is so sweet, and your eyes are clearer and clearer than the Aegean Sea......"

On the deck of the ship, Wawe recited the verses of his new work, but soon tore the note to shreds to the laughter of his companions, and then clutched his hair in anguish, for he found that his proud talent was now facing the greatest challenge, and he could not find the right words to describe the heart-pounding lady.

Wise Tamako, or Galaxia, sat quietly in this cabin, her beauty is indeed not what Wawe's clumsy verses can describe, her gentle and demure temperament is intoxicating, snow-white skirt, snow-white skin, long black hair, gentle eyes like water, the whole person seems to be shrouded in a hazy halo.

Listening to the laughter outside, the corners of Wise Yuzi's mouth curled slightly, the cheerful enthusiasm of this group of friends made her mood a lot better, but thinking of her father's tragic death and her husband's betrayal, she couldn't dispel the dark clouds in her heart, making it difficult for the thin willow eyebrows to unfold.

The uncertain future made her hide deep fears in her heart.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi has already issued an order to kill the traitor's daughter, what will the affectionate husband do? With the death of her father, she has no nostalgia for her homeland.

However, before that, no noblewoman had ever fled her country on a Westerner ship, and even though the kind and kind Father Fregorio was in the trenches, the wise Tamako who sailed out on a boat still had an instinctive fear of the unknown future.

She bowed down and bowed, her neckline revealing a piece of frost and snow, and her voice was so soft and gentle: "Merciful God, may you guide the lost lamb and give Galaxia ...... as Moses led the people out of Egypt."

Bang!

The sound of artillery surprised the Portuguese on the Courage, and the three warships in front of them outflanked them violently, and on the fluttering flags, the Tachibana family crest with Taiji and whirlwind patterns was displayed!

"Don't be afraid, my artillery is very inferior, he can't hurt us!" Rob shouted and pulled out the flintlock pistol at his waist: "Sailors, get ready for battle!" ”

Wawei immediately ran to the cabin where Wise Yuzi lived, and stood guard at the door, not forgetting to turn around and shout: "Beautiful young lady, I, Wawe. Ronaldo. Diego, your loyal knight, will protect you with his life! ”

Wise Tamako smiled shallowly, nodded encouragingly at Vawe, and continued to murmur a prayer.

This smile alone made Vawe's heart beat uncontrollably, and his blood was almost boiling, and he was determined to stand by the side of the beautiful young lady like a true knight.

Rob sighed, completely speechless at Vawe's behavior, but now that the battle was about to begin, there was no time to accuse his companion of being heavy on his friends.

"Don't be afraid, shoot with guns, these monkeys, one round of guns can scare them!" Rob shouted loudly, urging the sailors to reload and light the arquebuses, and some of them reloaded the small cannon in the bow of the ship with shells ready to meet the head of the man.

Bang bang bang! The three warships opened fire one after another, but the shells clicked three times, and they all fell into the sea, splashing three waves that were not too big or small.

It turned out that the musket technology of this book was directly learned from the West, which was relatively advanced, but the cannon casting technology was very backward.

The Tachibana family was a courtier of the Otomo family in Kyushu, just more than ten years ago, when the Portuguese ship moored in Bungo fired a salute at the church, and the sound of a huge explosion reached the castle of Funai, and the lord and servant of Otomo Sorin went to watch in shock, and the Portuguese sent the cannon to the Otomo family, and Sorin called it "national collapse" under the great joy, and considered it to be the important weapon of the country.

Tachibana uses this kind of artillery, but no matter how loud the name of the national collapse is, in the final analysis, it is a thing that shoots stone balls, and the lethality and range cannot be compared with the Westerners' cannons, six-pounder guns, twelve-pounder guns, and eagle cannons, and they are far inferior to the Ming army's Francophone and general's cannons.

At such a distance, three stone shells could not hit at all, and they fell into the sea halfway.

Rumble! The small cannon of the Spirit rang out, and the cannonball streaked through the afterimage, hitting the side of one of the warships, and when it landed, it collapsed a large section of the basin, and the debris flew in all directions, and it seemed that it was not small.

Although they did not inflict much damage on him, the Portuguese were already demoralized, and they were convinced that the next battle would be one-sided.

The ship was close enough to see the other side's face with the naked eye, and suddenly a Portuguese sailor laughed: "Haha, the commander of the other side is a little girl!" God forbid, we're escaping the pagans this time! ”

But isn't it, under the banner of the other party with the Tachibana family crest, it is a little girl like a porcelain doll who is in charge of the battle, only thirteen or fourteen years old, her skin is as white as porcelain, her eyes are too big, and she wears a black lacquered "Nanban Foot" armor, which looks more and more like a little girl who has stolen the armor of her father and brother, without the slightest murderous aura, but very cute.

Hahaha, the Portuguese all laughed out loud, and there was not the slightest suspense about the next battle.

"Dear sailors, raise the muzzle of your gun later, and don't frighten this overly young lady," the Portuguese sailors laughed strangely.

On another warship, the man in the position of deputy general is not very old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, cute yellow Tang silk armor, wearing a silver spade-shaped front standing pocket, a gold deerskin knife at the waist, a bow full of arrows on his back and holding a bow with a painted cage, and he is majestic, looking intently at the girl general on the warship not far away, with a little dissatisfaction between his frowning eyebrows.

He didn't doubt her ability, but he thought that as a man, he should sit in that position...... As the ships of the two sides got closer and closer, the Portuguese fired another shot, smashing the big hole in the basin of the Tachibana clan's ship, which caused another burst of laughter from the Portuguese.

Just as the two ships approached the range of the muskets, and the Portuguese lazily raised their muskets to shoot, Rob's pupils suddenly widened, and his mouth opened and shouted: "Lie down, lie down!" ”

The Portuguese were horrified to find that thirty or forty young girls dressed in white were standing on the other side's ship, each with a squeaky and smoking arquebus in his hand, and as the fingers were snapped down and the dragon head was shot down, the crackling bean-like gunfire rang out, and the bullets rained down!

It was a gust of wind, and three Portuguese sailors who had not had time to lie down were shot in an instant, and blood flowed from the deck.

"Fight back, fight back!" Rob wielded a short gun and directed the sailors to return fire, making sure to take advantage of the opponent's reload to regain the initiative.

Who knew that the Portuguese had just stood up straight, and before they could aim and shoot, another round of rapid and dense bullets came from the opposing ship, and the two unlucky ones fell to the sky.

How can it be so fast? The Portuguese were stunned, they never expected that they would be beaten to the ground by a group of women, and they could only lie on the deck and be beaten passively.

"Taste the power of the early strike girl under my command Chiyo!" The head of the Tachibana family stood up and waved his fan forward.

The sisters under their command increased their speed a lot, shooting round after round of bullets, beating the Portuguese Spirit to the ground, and everyone could only lie on the deck, and it was impossible to fight back.

Fortunately, the two ships were already moving in the opposite direction, and the impetus of the habit and the sea breeze made the Spirit and the Yue warship pass by at a distance of twenty meters, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther away, and finally got out of the range of the musket.

The Portuguese on the Spirit finally dared to straighten their backs, and everyone was terrified.

"Quick, we can't beat them, hurry up and escape!" Rob made the right choice.

Where is it so easy to escape? At this time, the southwest wind was blowing, and the speed of the schooner was slow against the wind, but the few warships had oarsmen, and dozens of oars stretched out from the bilge to row on the sea, and soon turned around and chased after them like flying clouds and lightning.
