But the ships of the Jin army behind obviously also accelerated, and even the Jin army flag on the warship headed by him could be seen faintly
The gold army chased the front, which was also a large ship. It was led by the pirate king 27. On the three-story deck, there were 2000 gold army, wearing heavy armor, holding bows and arrows, and the chariots were built layer by layer
The whole equipment was deployed by Han Chang
Han Chang was proficient in water warfare. In the event of a storm, he was not in a hurry to chase Zhao Deji and others. He immediately suggested to Jin wushu that Zhao Deji and others could not escape far in this weather. It was better to stop equipping the warship and pursue again
Jin Wushu believed his judgment very much and immediately agreed. Han Chang met Wang Erqi as agreed Wang Erqi had already received generous gifts from Han Chang. As soon as he met Jin Wushu, he was named "ocean general" by Jin Wushu
Wang Erqi, who was also born in the water army of the state of song, had no hope of promotion for many years. He turned to be a pirate. Seeing that Jin Wushu had not yet fought, he sealed the reward first. He was overjoyed and immediately gave up his mind, knelt down and kowtowed: "thank you, fourth prince. If you want to catch Zhao Deji and others, the villain has a plan, and it's easy to keep it."
"General Wang, please speak."
Wang Erqi was called "general" for the first time. He also saw that Jin Wushu had a respectful attitude and was very respectful to the virtuous corporal. He said happily, "there is an island in this ocean. There is a shortcut to the sea on the island. Zhao Deji and others must find this exit if they want to escape. As long as the fourth Prince sends troops to guard first, attacks back and forth when the time comes, and catches turtles in a jar, wouldn't it work in one fell swoop?"
Jin Wushu was overjoyed: "wonderful plan. General Wang, can there be other maritime forces in this passage?"
"At present, it is temporarily the field of a small pirate surnamed Zhou. Although Zhou Qi has less than 200 subordinates, he belongs to King Qin, the leader of the big pirate. King Qin is a bully on the sea and cannot be underestimated..."
"Who is king Qin?"
"He was also a soldier, but he joined the ranks of pirates in his twenties. He was naturally brave and cunning. After more than ten years of operation, he dominated this sea area alone, and he had a lot of capable people under him. A month ago, he led his army to attack our island. If it weren't for the rescue of Lord Han, he would have been taken down by him."
Jin Wushu immediately understood that Wang Erqi had a big grudge against King Qin. If King Qin was eliminated, he would be the real sea overlord As the saying goes, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers. He decided not to mention to recruit King Qin, and immediately said, "it's not enough to be afraid of just a king Qin, so I'll bother General Wang to lead 2000 troops to guard the exit first, and Han Chang led the following 5000 troops to catch up, so we must catch Zhao Deji..."
Seeing that he had only one side, Wang Erqi immediately sent 2000 men to his command. Although he was a little influential on the sea, he had only one or two hundred minions under his command. Now he got 2000 regular troops, which was a bit of the honor of "death for a bosom friend". He was very happy: "yes! The young general must live up to the love of the fourth prince."
The fleet chased out for two days. Looking around, the sea was calm. Han Chang said, "there is an island ahead of Zhou Qi."
"How far is it?"
"About 200 nautical miles."
Jin Wushu stood on the side of the ship on the third floor and looked at the vast sea and sky. Wu Qimai beside him did not adapt to the sea climate. He was seasick and had vomited for a while, and his face turned blue
He whispered, "I don't know if Hua Rong is on the ship..."
"Not necessarily."
"That's right. Zhao Deji only cares about escaping by herself. She lives alone, most of whom are not on the ship..." he was expecting and disappointed, and said to himself, "if we catch Zhao Deji this time, we can end the large-scale war. Then, I'll go to her again."
"Fourth prince, since she has promised to marry Yue Pengju, why do you keep thinking about it?"
"The crown prince doesn't miss her forever! On the contrary, I've already given up. Just, she and Yue Pengju are the people I must win, otherwise, I won't be happy all my life."
Wu Qimai didn't dare to say any more. He just stood in the bow and wanted to vomit Fortunately, these thousands of warriors have been selected, and half of them are soldiers from the Song Dynasty. There are not many pure Jin people like Wu Qimai who are seasick
At this time, Han Chang suddenly came up: "fourth prince, a large number of seagoing ships were found in front of him. It must be Zhao Deji and his party."
Jin Wushu was overjoyed: "accelerate to catch up."
"Yes."
Zhao Deji has been standing on the top floor of the five tooth battleship, walking up and down the open deck, anxious
Lin Zhijie and others have been following him, and everyone is frowning, life or death, at this one stroke Finally, it was close to the sea, and the distance was still calm and there were no ships
Lin Zhijie said happily, "Jin Jun hasn't caught up yet..."
Zhao Deji did not dare to relax at all and turned to King Qin: "will there be an ambush by the Jin Jun?"
King Qin looked around for a while. He was almost exhausted by speeding all the way, just before Wang Erqi At this moment, seeing the sea calm, nodded and waved, "accelerate, drive out and it's safe."
All the ships accelerated. King Qin was also very nervous. He used more than ten miles, but he saw the black sails in front of him. He shouted, "accelerate again..."
At this time, almost everyone saw that it was a war ship with a high archery ladder
Xu Caizhi and others immediately protected Zhao Deji. Hua Rong was carrying bows and arrows. He was very flustered. He saw King Qin running a few steps ahead and blowing a trumpet. The spiral ladder immediately rose from the five tooth battleship. More than 200 pirates were divided into three layers and opened bows and arrows. On the third layer, two cannons were impressively erected
Hua Rong first saw the power of King Qin with his own eyes and found that he had made an essential leap over the past seven or eight years, training a pirate like a regular army However, no matter how powerful it is, there are no more than 200 people. How can it resist the Jin army from behind?
King Qin sounded like a loud bell: "danger, you go back to the cabin."
Lin Zhijie immediately escorted Zhao Deji and others to the cabin on the ground floor
King Qin looked up and saw that Hua Rong was still beside him. He stared and said, "girl, go quickly."
"And you?"
"I'm fine. Get down quickly."
Hua Rong hesitated a little and went down immediately. King Qin shouted to the crowd, "go westward, speed up, shoot arrows..."
The archers on Wang Erqi's ship were already ready to pursue again, but they heard a loud bang, and the artillery directly hit the mast of the warship
Wang Erqi was shocked and jumped up to the third floor: "how can King Qin have such a powerful gun?"
Jin Wushu also boarded the top of the boat, but saw the other side on the boat. In a position, a person was petite and fighting desperately. Who was it, not Hua Rong?
"Hua Rong! She is really on the boat!"
There was another loud noise, the sails were burning, and there was a miasma. More than 1000 of the 2000 people were Jin Jun. although they were carefully selected, they were not as good as the southerners to adapt to the sea climate after all, not to mention the sudden encounter of such an attack. For a moment, they ran around, bowed and leaned, and could not stand steadily, let alone shoot back with arrows
King Qin shouted again: "put the rocket..."
200 pirates arched again. This time, the arrows were full of rockets coated with sulfur. It turned out that King Qin had secretly signed a contract with the gunpowder family Lei family of Jiangnan manufacturing Bureau for fear of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression. He bought a large number of firearms at a high price, and the equipment was very advanced. Jin people had never seen this kind of weapons, let alone used them in the first time
This time, seeing that the situation was critical, he also expected Wang Erqi to attack, so he didn't hesitate to use the magic weapon of Zhendao
Wang Erqi was attacked and couldn't be stopped. He watched the ships sail out of Haikou helplessly. Behind him, the fleet of Jin Jun was still separated by dozens of nautical miles, and he was even more anxious
After driving out of the cabin for more than ten nautical miles, Zhao Deji and others were fumigated by the huge smell of sulfur, and his nose ran crossly. He couldn't care about his discomfort and was overjoyed: "finally out?"
Hua Rong was also very happy: "out, official family, we really went out."
The crowd cheered, and King Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He came down the ladder on the third floor, looked up, and suddenly said, "it's not good..."
He shouted like a thunder on the ground. Sure enough, on the left side, three big ships came at full speed, no more than ten nautical miles apart
Zhou Qi also rushed onto the deck: "Jin Wushu is so fierce that he has deployed such strange soldiers..."
King Qin frowned, "watch out..."
When the archers got into the cabin, King Qin climbed to the top floor and looked around, his heart suddenly cooled. The three warships in sight were dark and full of soldiers, which had been surrounded by his own side in a triangle
For the first time in his life, he was so dangerous that he jumped down and shouted, "come on, the danger is really coming..."
Zhao Deji and others also found that Xu Caizhi had just escorted him into the cabin, and the arrow opposite had been shot like rain
"Quickly, your majesty, enter the iron hatch..."
"Hide quickly..."
"The first team of archers, lift the ladder..."
"The second team..."
King Qin roared like thunder. An arrow went straight into the armor of his vest and fell down again. The vest hurt faintly
He rushed for a while, and suddenly saw a petite man occupying the position of a fallen shooter on the hanging ladder, stretching his bow and arrow, and shooting violently
"Girl..."
"Leave me alone."
He shouted, "girl, it's dangerous here..."
"I can withstand it for a while."
Another group of archers fell down, and soon the number of troops on the ship became smaller and smaller
"King Qin, can we escape?"
He suddenly heard her ask, leaned under the huge wooden shield, and roared like thunder: "girl, go down quickly, it's too dangerous."
"Good!"
He next to her, waved a knife to sweep down the arrow, pulled her on the ground and walked down: "girl, can't resist, run."
Dozens of sharp arrows flew, and King Qin took her to roll on the spot, fell into the cabin and went to untie the boat tied to the deck: "girl, we have to escape quickly..."
Hua Rong hurriedly said, "the official family and Xu Caizhi are still in the cabin, as well as Mr. Lin and so on..."
"Heaven is going to die, Zhao Deji, don't worry about him... Let's go first..."
"No way..."
King Qin saw that she was stubborn and could not rush over. He saw that the iron hatch had been opened, and Zhao Deji and others had rushed out, waiting in panic for escape
He drank, "get on the boat."
