Suddenly dark clouds rose from the sea outside the mouth of the Qiantang River, and the darkness was pressed down, and a heavy rain seemed to be close at hand. This made Zheng Hongkui desperate again, seeing that he had lost the opportunity on the battlefield, and now the wind is blowing down on the city, even if the sailor breaks out, he will have to fight with the sky and the sea, the odds are geometric, I am afraid that even a little finger can be counted.

"There is a strong wind, there will be a torrential rain, how to decide, please make it clear to the military gate!"

The adjutant general's instructions are urging life, just like a little ghost urging life. Zheng Hongkui was in a dilemma in his heart, at this moment, the wind rose sharply, and the opponent's naval guns were missed, which was a good time to break the siege. However, even if they escaped, they would die even worse on the vast sea. People who have been at sea all the year round have naturally learned the ups and downs of the sea and the posture of overwhelming the mountains and seas. Although this situation may not happen, he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to take such a risk.

"Pass the order, the fleet sails to the Qiantang River to avoid the coming gales and waves!"

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Junmen, this is tantamount to a dead end, the sea ships of the Three Guards Army want to block the mouth of the river, and it will be difficult for us to fly out with our wings!" ”

Zheng Hongkui reprimanded: "It's hard to fly with wings, there is always a way to live, it's better than being smashed by the waves and having no bones!" Let you go to the herald, just go to the herald, where did so much nonsense come from? ”

After the chaotic sailors were ordered, some of them still tried to go to the open sea, while most of them turned their bows and sailed slowly towards the mouth of the Qiantang River, where the wind and waves were lighter.

"Mr. Hua, the Zheng family's sailor will definitely fall into the hands of you and me this time!"

He Bin called him General Hua according to the habit of the vast majority of the Three Guards. It's just that Wallace is unaware of this, and it should be ordinary, and he can't see that the Zheng family's sailors driving into the Qiantang River estuary are no different from suicide. However, the storm not only frightened Zheng Hongkui, but also brought great trouble to the Pingbo fleet.

Due to the intensification of the waves, all the ship's guns lost their sights. It is already impossible to even ignite the launch. Therefore, if Zheng Hongkui dared to risk his life to sail out of the open sea at this moment, Wallace and his Pingbo fleet would be helpless against it.

And Zheng Hongkui's choice is in the hands of China RAAS.

"Order the whole army to shrink the formation, advance towards the mouth of the Qiantang River in a fan shape, and be ready to catch the ship at any time!"

Although Wallace is a little cramped, once he commands a naval battle, he still looks like he has a clear eye. If it weren't for the innate fear of the Zheng family's sailors, he might have given up his immediate caution, and it is unknown how bold he would be in using soldiers.

A bolt of lightning slashed across the sky, and the wind intensified, and the waves rose and fell, and the hull tossed more violently.

The officers on the deck were almost unsteady on their feet, and if they hadn't held on to the wooden railings and other objects nearby, they would have fallen out long ago. Seeing this, He Bin hurriedly stared at the wind and shouted, "Drop the sail!" Hurry up and drop the sails! ”

No one expected the wind and rain to come so quickly, and if the mainsail was not lowered soon, the mast would be in danger of breaking in an instant. It was another thunderbolt, He Bin's words were drowned under the rolling thunder and waves, the sailors climbed the mast against the wind and struggled to untie the cable, suddenly the hull shook up and down without warning, the huge inertia made the already tight Range Rover break, the heavy sail suddenly swept and flipped over, several sailors did not react and were taken out alive, three or five people fell straight into the turbulent water, and never came out again, a few luck fell on the deck, the limbs and arms of the fall were broken, screaming and crying again and again, But he finally saved his life.

Seeing that if the sail does not fall in time, the mainmast of the flagship may be overwhelmed by the pressure in this storm and break. He Bin, the deputy chief soldier, is a veteran sailor for more than 30 years, and although he is now the deputy chief soldier, he has an indescribable relationship with the big ship.

I saw He Bin take off his boots, barefoot, and his body was like a light and agile ape, climbing the mainmast, twisting the wrist-thick cable with both arms, gritting his teeth and pulling the mainsail hard. The sailors who were frightened by the accident just now reacted, and hurriedly rushed up to assist Deputy Chief He Bin to drop the sail.

He Bin's performance stunned General Wallace, who had never seen this always slick general, dare to use his life so much, not only with his hand on his chest, but also with the words in his mouth: "Oh! O my God! Bless this nasty guy from falling! ”

At this point, Wallace was suddenly stunned, and then wondered if he had said something wrong, and that he should have prayed to God to bless this pesky trickster from falling. In this way, there will be one less buzzing and annoying fly in the ears in the future.

Soon, the mainsail of the flagship was lowered. Not only the flagship, but also the rest of the ships of the Pingbo fleet fell sail one after another, and a disaster was averted, but the entire fleet also lost power, as if paralyzed in the sea off the mouth of the Qiantang River.

Wallace looked at the Zheng family sailor who was gradually fleeing, anxious but helpless. "Order, sailors paddle and row as soon as possible to the mouth of the river to avoid the wind and waves!"

He knew that after the strong wind, there would soon be a shower, and the heavy rain would be unpredictable, and if he did not get ashore as soon as possible to avoid the wind and waves, he was afraid that his fleet might be pushed into the depths of the sea by the strong wind and huge waves. And if they can't Yang Fan, they lose their main motivation and are powerless to compete with the torrential rain and waves.

At this time, He Bin had already come down from the mainmast and came to Wallace's side, seeing that he looked anxious, he teased: "Mr. Hua is also flying across the sea, and he has rich experience in sailors, how can he not see that this heavy rain can't fall for a while?" ”

In fact, He Bin blamed Wallace for this. Wallace has rich sailing experience, but after all, he has only been in the East for more than a year, but He Bin was born on this Oriental Sea since he was a child, and he knows the changes in the wind and waves at sea as well as his own breathing and heartbeat.

And Wallace also scoffed at He Bin's words and dismissed him, thinking that he was bragging.

"What's the matter! Do you know why I hate you? It's your flamboyant tongue, like a bread thief, clever and quibble. ”

He Bin laughed: "Mr. Hua doesn't believe it, just wait and see, and see when this rainstorm will come down!" ”

Wallace was suddenly a little stunned by He Bin's determined appearance, holding on to the side of the boat and looking up at the sky, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the rainstorm would come immediately.

The sailors who operated the oars exerted enough strength to feed the bottom of the boat, and the oars flew up and down the surface of the sea, stirring rapidly. But the hull of the big ship moved very slowly, completely disproportionate to the frequency of the oars' movements. Wallace was sweating profusely but helplessly.

Suddenly, Wallace felt a chill on his head, but when he reached out, it was a wet stain. He looked at He Bin mockingly: "Tongshi, look at it, isn't this heavy rain?" ”

Zheng Hongkui's flagship took the lead, the first to rush into the mouth of the Qiantang River, and the rest of the ships followed suit, scrambling to be the first. As long as you enter this estuary, it is half safe. He looked at the Pingbo fleet slowly moving on the surface of the sea from the stern of the ship, and suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter was full of schadenfreude and unconcealable happiness.

"Good, good! God really has eyes, they are dead this time! ”

Zheng Hongkui knew very well that as long as the heavy rain poured, those galleons trapped in the open sea would be swept away by the huge waves and it would be difficult to return to the coast. A naval battle that was supposed to be lost, but the victory and defeat were reversed in an instant, how can people not be happy?

"See it, see it? This is the endless sky I Zheng Hongkui, the sky is endless! ”

He roared madly at the wind that swept through the sky, as a way to vent the anger and fear in his chest. Immediately afterward, he slowly regained his composure from his joy and excitement. Thinking of Zhao Bingqian in Hangzhou again, he secretly became ruthless, as soon as the storm stopped, he ordered the sailors to land ashore, and he must give these people a good look, so as to take revenge for the humiliation suffered by Xue before.

The reason why Zhao Bingqian's attitude has changed so much is that he must have relied on the momentum of these big ships of the Three Guards, as long as these big ships are taken away by God, the situation in front of him will once again return to his control, and then the officials in Hangzhou City will not be like dough, let him rub the round and flat?

"Go to the dock in front of you and drop anchor!"

At this time, Zheng Hongkui felt relieved, so he changed his mind about waiting for the storm on the boat, he wanted to go ashore to settle down, and wait for the wind and rain to stop. According to Zheng Hongkui's previous experience, although this storm came urgently, it may not go quickly. Every day and two nights, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down. If it is too hard to bump on the boat for a day or two nights, since the left and right are already in control, it is better to go ashore and wait for the storm to end, and then sit back and enjoy the victory of fishing.

Although the wind and waves on the sea were storming and the black clouds were rolling in the sky, Zheng Hongkui's heart was just the opposite, and he was already happy.

The deputy general didn't know why Zheng Hongkui was in such weather, his mood changed drastically, and he also showed a smile on his face, which was not normal. He thought that his master's mind was not normal because he was worried about the situation in front of him, so he asked worriedly and hesitantly, "Junmen? You, what's wrong with you? ”

Zheng Hongkui was stunned by the general's question, and then he understood, and scolded with a straight face: "You know a fart, you think we are just in a desperate situation, right?" Let me tell you, the truth is the opposite, God helps us, this time our sailors are victorious without a fight! ”

"Win without a fight?" The adjutant general's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that his ears had heard the wrong thing except for the problem, but Zheng Hongkui repeated it in a timely manner, this time he heard it clearly, and he was sure that it was not his own ears that had a problem, but his heart was even more worried.
