Volume Eleven Heavenly Wind and Troubled Times Chapter 791 Chasing Battle at Sea
"Hurry, hurry, sail!
Hu Wei rushed onto the boat while holding Yang Xiaohuā and yelled at Theresa. The oil won't last long, so you'll have to run away right away.
Theresa had already been ready, and without saying a word, she immediately went to direct the group of refugees to move. Under the combined force of everyone's scramble, the big ship shook lightly and moved.
"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder. A poignant voice suddenly sounded.
"Turn, crash!" another voice shouted.
Sailing a boat is a kind of collective work, this group of people, never worked together, and some people know how to do it, some don't know how to do it, and as soon as the boat starts, they rush to the shore.
The sweat on Hu Wei's head has come down, can he really run away with such a method? There is the sea outside!
But now, there is no strange way, but to bite the bullet. He doesn't know how to deal with this kind of sea ship, and it seems that this time, he really has to hand over his life to someone else.
The panicked shouts of "turn left, turn left" still kept ringing.
"You can't turn left, you have to turn right and then left, or the stern will hit the reef over there. Yang Xiaohuā whispered beside Hu Wei. Although she rarely goes out, she knows how to sail a boat. Seeing that the ship was about to be wrecked and people were about to die, she had to speak.
"Will you sail?" Hu Wei looked at this little girl who was only seventeen or eighteen in surprise.
"Well, my dad is the owner of the Jiangnan Shipyard, and I've loved to play with him on ships since I was a child. Yang Xiaohuā was a little embarrassed by Hu Wei.
"Don't care who your father is, it's up to you now. Hu Wei didn't think about it, and picked up Yang Xiaohuā and ran to the bow of the boat.
"Don't move, listen to this girl's command!" exclaimed.
Although they don't know who Hu Wei is, Hu Wei is the leader in this escape, and many people consciously listen to Hu Wei's words.
"Girl, tell me how to open it!" Hu Wei saw that Yang Xiaohuā was still stunned there, and couldn't help but say anxiously.
"I" Yang Xiaohuā just knew how to drive a boat, but she had never driven it, and Hu Wei's posture scared her.
"Don't me, if you don't hurry up, we'll all have to die here! Turn right first, right, turn right, turn right!"
The original shipwrights on the ship were all killed during the robbery, and the people who are driving the boat now are all those who escaped together. Some of these people understand a little, and some people don't understand it, so it's called a mess.
"No, right turn and hit the ship!" shouted one of the boatmen.
"Less of his sister's nonsense, do as I say. Hu Wei didn't have so much energy to explain to them, and scolded directly.
"Do as the young master does. Harrison snorted as well. He didn't know how to sail a boat, but he believed that Hu Wei wouldn't mess around.
"Quick, what's next. Hu Wei turned his head again and asked Yang Xiaohuā.
Yang Xiaohuā said timidly: "Then it should be seven strings concave, and the back chord is old."
"You directly said left and right, they don't understand this!"
Huā was dizzy. She doesn't look at what's going on here, she's still here in the jargon.
"Then to the left. Yang Xiaohuā was taken aback by Hu Wei and blurted out.
"To the left. ”
"To the right. ”
"Left and right, left and right" Yang Xiaohuā's voice was too quiet, and Hu Wei became her mouthpiece, constantly passing on orders.
In the midst of a moment of confusion, the big ship finally drove out of the harbor by grazing the reef.
"Whew, I'm so tired. Hu Wei wiped the sweat from his head and sat on the ground. This kind of work is really not done by people.
"Well, big brother, where are we going?" asked Yang Xiaohuā timidly.
Scratching his head, he asked, "Don't you know the way?"
Hu Wei asked a nonsense sentence.
Yang Xiaohuā was amused by Hu Wei's funny expression: "Without a chart, I don't even know where this is." ”
"Well, you don't care so much about it for now, drive ahead first, the farther away from here, the better, those people will definitely catch up soon, let's run first. ”
Hu Wei confessed to Yang Xiaohuā and immediately went to find Theresa and Harrison.
Theresa was sorting out the ship's supplies according to Hu Wei's orders, sailing in the sea, and if she didn't eat or drink, she would die. Don't be careless.
"Young marshal. Theresa saw Hu Wei coming over, and immediately stopped what she was doing. She knew that Hu Wei came over at this time, and he must have something to do with her.
"Let people find a way to find out if there are any charts, and by the way, ask if anyone knows where this is. Hu worried.
Theresa reminded: "Wang Tongzhi will not know, we might as well ask him." ”,
Hu Wei smiled bitterly: "He didn't get on the boat. Now we can't rely on anyone else, we have to rely on ourselves. By the way, what about the food and fresh water?"
Theresa replied, "It looks like the ship is about to go to sea again, and there is plenty of food and fresh water. ”
Hu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, but we still have to supply it in limited quantities, and no one knows how long we will go around in this damn sea." ”
Hu Wei confessed to Theresa and returned to his head. Yang Xiaohuā has now become the captain of the ship, and the advance and retreat of the big ship are all decided by her.
"Well, the injury on my foot is fine. Hu Wei said with concern. As the old saying goes, kindness is rewarded, which is really good, if it wasn't for picking up Yang Xiaohuā by hand, it would have been impossible for this boatload of people to go to the sea to feed the fish.
"It's okay, it's just a little painful. Yang Xiaohuā's face was a little red. It was Hu Wei's feet that Hu Wei helped her hold just now, and it was the first time that her little feet were played with by a man like that.
"It's okay. Hu * smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so young, Huanhui will drive such a big ship, it's really amazing." ”
"I'm fooling too. Yang Xiaohuā also smiled, she felt very happy to chat with Hu Wei.
While they were talking, Harrison hurried over.
"Young master, there is a boat catching up behind. ”
Hu Wei stood up and ran behind the boat, and three warships were approaching them.
Warships are much smaller and faster than passenger ships. At the current rate, the three boats will soon catch up.
"Maragobi, it's coming so fast, what should we do?" Hu Wei scolded, turning his head to ask Harrison.
Naval battles, Harrison has never fought before, where can he come up with any ideas. Besides, they are passenger ships, and they have no power to fight back.
"Young master, Lou looks other than running. We can't do anything. Harrison replied.
"Then run quickly, let all the people, all the people get under the bottom of the boat, and speed up with the oars. Hu Wei shouted.
There are two kinds of power for large ships, one is to accelerate the sails, and use the wind to drive the ship to move. The other is the oar, which is generally used when the wind is headwind. And if you want the boat to reach top speed, you have to turn on both powers.
"Now that there are three warships biting us, do you have any strength?" Although he knew that it might not be of any use, Hu Wei still asked Yang Xiaohuā. After all, she is the only one who knows more about sea ships.
Yang Xiaohuā shook his head at first, as if thinking of something, and then nodded.
Hu Wei was puzzled, and said hurriedly: "Is there or not?"
Yang Xiaohuā said: "It is said that there should be, but I don't know if there is one on this boat." ”
"Be clear. "Hu Wei doesn't have time to play dumb riddles with her here.
Yang Xiaohuā recalled: "I remember my father once told me that there is a great chance of encountering pirates when sailing on the sea, so the sea generally has some means of self-protection, such as releasing black smoke, releasing wood and so on. ”
"If there are these things, where they are usually placed. Hope flashed in Hu Wei's eyes. If he had a self-protection device, he would have the confidence to fight those three warships. ”
"The stern or the string. Yang Xiaohuā replied.
"Okay, I got it. It's up to you, no matter what happens, you have to do your best and move forward with all your might!"
After a careful search, Hu Wei finally found a self-protection device in Banwei. The big ship actually had a trebuchet in the stern. This kind of marine trebuchet is very different from the thunderbolt in Hu Wei's car, and Hu Wei really didn't see it at first.
"Young master, there are no stones. Harrison sweated profusely for a while and said with a bitter face.
If a trebuchet has no stones, it's like a gun without bullets, and it's useless to come!
"How can it not be, go and look for it again, bring more people to go, you must find it. ”
Hu Wu did not give up.
Harrison was on the verge of crying. lamented: "Young master, really no, I'm about to turn over the whole boat." Besides, if there are stones, there's no reason why you shouldn't be near the trebuchet. ”
"Malagobi's, it's really *** back!" Hu Wei scolded angrily and ran up on the boat.
"Young Master, what are you doing here. Harrison asked, chasing after Hu.
"Look for what you can smash out. Hu Weizheng said, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This guy should be able to do it."
What Hu Wei saw was a boat bell, which was made of pig iron, which was much harder than stone.
"Young master, smash it out, how can we stop the ship?" Harrison said stunned.
"It's a boat that still stops fart, let's get past this level first. Let's see how many bells there are on this ship. ”
The standard configuration of the big ship is that there are two bells, one in front and one in the back, one in the bow and one in the stern, and Hu Wei can't help but say, so he has to dismantle them and move them to the side of the trebuchet. In this way, the three warships got a lot closer. ,
It's a real test. The trebuchet is a weapon with a very low hit rate, and Hu Wei only has two "cannonballs", even if it is a 100% hit, there is still one warship left. Don't look at only one warship, with its combat power, it is too easy to sink a passenger ship.
The situation is still very serious for Hu Wei.
"No matter, let's kill him first. If we can scare the other two away, of course that's better, if not, then let's think of something else. In short, victory will be ours. Hu Wei comforted the crowd around him.
As a commander-in-chief, at all times, you must give your subordinates the greatest morale. Before this battle was fought, the leader panicked first, and then there was no way to fight again.
The first iron bell was set up with a trebuchet, which was different from stones, and most of the stones were round, so it was easier to place or throw. But the two ends of this iron bell are bent, and a section grows in the middle, and it is not easy to put it up, let alone throw it out.
"Master, is this okay?" Harrison swayed as he looked at the iron bell that swayed on the trebuchet. If you don't get it right, don't throw it on the enemy ship, but throw it on your own head.
"Who knows, but I hope it will do. Hu Wei smiled bitterly. He didn't have much bottom in his heart, and he was a dead horse doctor. Otherwise, what else can I do, sitting still and waiting to die is not a worrying xìng grid.
In about half an hour or so, the three warships were already very close. Their ship, they knew very well, they knew that there were trebuchets on board, but there were no stones, and they had no ability to resist, and they were all very relieved and arrogant. They have all entered the range of 100 meters, but they have no protective action, and they are still walking in a straight line.
"They're too contemptuous of people. Harrison said indignantly. This is going to be changed on land, and whoever dares to be arrogant with him like this, he has to kill that guy.
"Isn't this good, the art of war is cloudy, and if you can fight, the enemy is weak, they look down on us, I can't wait for it. Our legion is now being constrained by people everywhere, but the limelight is too strong. Hu Wei replied.
Harrison thought about it too. Since the Legion unified the Mandala Empire, all kinds of problems have really been the same, and those days are really not much stricter than before.
"Ready, let's kill him first. Hu Wei sneered at the middle of the three boats. The middle one of the three boats rushed to the front, and Hu Wei planned to use it first.
The ship didn't know that it was on the road to death, or that it was speeding up and speeding up with a swagger.
Hu Wei seems to be like a blocker, constantly calculating the dynamics between each other, the position, and the wind speed, and his ammunition is not much, so he must be hit with one hit.
"Ready!" Hu Wei finally adjusted the angle of the trebuchet and raised his hand high. The task of sending and casting was completed by Harrison.
Harrison gripped the lever tightly, sweat dripping down his head. His seat can't see the ship behind him, and when it will be launched, it is all under the command of Hu Wei.
"Ready!" Hu Wei shouted again, but he didn't call for a launch. The wind blowing from the sea does not know where it is blowing, making the ship sway and making it difficult to hit the target.
"Boom!" on the side of the warship, there was not so much care. People have a lot of ammunition1
A boulder slammed up with the sound of the whirring wind, right on the stern of the ship, smashing a large chunk of the fence.
Harrison was around there. He was engrossed in waiting for Hu Wei's launch order when a large wooden plank pressed down on him. He reflexively ducked to the side, just touching the launch rod.
"Oops. Harrison screamed. If you want to recover, you can't get it back. I heard the clicking sound of the trebuchet, and as soon as the gangplank flipped over, it flew out with the big iron bell.
Due to the uneven force, the big iron bell whirred in the air, and the flight trajectory was very erratic, and the heart of Hu was raised.
"It's over. Seeing that the big iron bell flew out of the middle of the warship, Hu Wei secretly screamed. The only two counter-attacking opportunities, just losing one.
Hu Wei's sigh was not over, and his heart rose to his throat again. It turned out that the big iron bell actually rushed to the warship on the left after deflecting out of the warship in the middle.
Will it be in the meeting?
Hu Wei muttered in his heart.
There was a loud bang. Instead of smashing into the bow of the enemy ship as expected, the large iron anchor was inserted into the side chord. If it's a stone, it's basically useless to smash it in this position, but the iron bell is different, it directly opens a hole in that place.
"Good!" Hu Wei couldn't help but applaud. The ship was finished, and it wouldn't be long before it had to enter the water, and even if it didn't sink, it wouldn't be able to catch up with it. This is called crooked hitting. ,
"Pretty, Harrison, come again, let's make him hot again!" laughed Hu Wei.
Harrison breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't win, if he didn't, Hu Wei would have to scold him to death.
Another large iron bell was lifted onto the trebuchet, their last resort. This will make even Hu Wei's hands a little sweaty. The unequal combat strength of the two sides of the enemy is what he hates the most.
The other two warlords suddenly found that the cabin had a means of counterattacking, and they were also taken aback, and they no longer dared to rampage like just now, and became cautious.
The two warships became cautious, and the days of Hu Wei were sad. Not only can he no longer aim at his target, but he has to withstand the blows of the enemy.
The enemy clearly knew that the only means of striking Hu Wei was the stern of the ship, so they would all go around this place and flank the big ship from both sides.
One by one, the boulders smashed on the big ship with the sound of the wind, and the big ship was flying with sawdust, and everyone screamed.
"Young marshal, if you continue like this, it's not a way. Harrison said anxiously.
"I know, I know, let me think about it. Hu Wei covered his head and turned rapidly.
"Yes, go and get all the oil on the ship. Find some more glass bottles or something. ”
Hu Wei was ready to make some Molotov cocktails to fight back. It doesn't matter if he's useful or not, at least he can't let the enemy sell the stolen goods so much.
With Molotov cocktails, things are a little better, but the help is not so great. The main thing is that there is a distance between the two ships, and the Molotov cocktails cannot be thrown that far. Hu Wei also tried to shoot with a rocket, but the wind was too strong at sea, and the rocket went out as soon as it flew out, and it didn't work with Ben.
"Malagobi, there is no such bullying. Hu Wei scolded and ran to the bow of the boat.
"Yang Xiaohuā, the small boat and the big boat collide, who will win?" Hu Wei rushed into the wheelhouse and asked Yang Xiaohu urgently.
Yang Xiao... Huā didn't understand what Hu Wei meant, so he casually said: "It's the big boat that wins, but there are many factors to consider." ”
"That's okay, you can find a way for me to sink the boat on the left!" Hu Wei said, "This won't work, if our boat is injured, it will also sink." Yang Xiaohuā shouted. This is a lose-lose approach, and no one can please it.
"I can't care so much, I'll talk about it. Otherwise, we won't be able to withstand me for long!"
"Well, well. You'll have to do me some favors, though. Yang Xiaohuā also knew that it was not easy to think about the situation now, and if the two warships were bitten like this, it would not take long for the big ship to sink.
"I didn't ask, I'll listen to you. Hu Wei replied. People are experts, and if they don't understand it, they have to listen to others.
