Chapter 249, Naval Battle (3)
Qingshi jumped onto the third and highest deck, looked up to the southwest, and saw more than ten miles away, three warships and seven or eight small boats were still patrolling the sea where the Xuanwei disappeared. , apparently they are still looking for the missing Xuanwei.
Qingshi secretly smiled in his heart, and came to the bridge to control the steering wheel in person, driving the Xuanhu towards the east at full speed, towards the three warships coming from the east.
The three warships originally retreated outside the attack range of the Xuanhu. Although they were far away, the observers with excellent eyesight could still see clearly what happened and knew that the dozens of small boats and hundreds of boats sent by the fleet were sent out. Master No. 10's entire army was wiped out.
Seeing the Xuanhu heading towards them, the three warships immediately separated and fled. The man who had just led the team to board the small boat to kill the Xuanhu was the boss of their fleet, that is, the strong man. The rest of the men were also from the fleet. The elites were all wiped out. How could the remaining three warships dare to fight Qingshi and the others? Especially when they saw that even the transoceanic Jiao Crocodile had sunk, they were even more frightened and fled for their lives.
Qingshi stared at the nearest warship and pursued it. After sailing more than ten miles, the ship had already entered the shooting range, so its tragedy was doomed. Although it was fast and slow, dodging left and right, it was still hit by Xuanhu's fifth cannon. Once it was hit, there was no suspense anymore. Chen Tianye fired another cannon, killing it and the people on the ship. First send it to the sky, and then send it to the bottom of the sea.
After sinking this warship, Duan Wutian wanted to pursue the other two ships, but the two ships had already moved north and south and were almost out of sight. From a distance, they could be seen, and they were still throwing them into the sea. Heavy objects, even cannons, were thrown away. Looking at the posture, it is obvious that the attitude of escape is very determined, and there is no possibility of turning back to fight.
"You run really damn fast!" Duan Wutian said. It's a pity.
"This is good!" Qingshi was very satisfied and said, "Our goal is to kill Yueyang. It would be best if everyone else escapes!"
After saying that, the three of them looked to the southwest together, and saw that among the three warships coming from there, the middle one had hoisted the crocodile flag. Obviously, Transoceanic had used it as its flagship.
The Xuanwei, which was submerged in the water, was not found across the ocean, so he had to order only a dozen or so dragon men to continue the search with dog dragons. However, he himself led the personal guards aboard the largest of the three warships coming from the southwest. One ship, using it as a temporary flagship.
Yueyang naturally saw the fate of the Eastern Fleet. When his right-hand man Lu Youhuang led his team aboard the Xuanhu, he was filled with joy and thought he had turned defeat into victory. Unexpectedly, Lu Youhuang's entire army was annihilated. He couldn't believe his eyes.
At this point in the war, the six warships of the transoceanic main fleet were attacked by the Xuanwei and Xuanhu. All of them sank, and nearly half of the men and horses were lost, especially the Jiaomen, who lost more than 70%; the four warships of the Eastern Fleet, Two sank, two escaped, and all the elite soldiers were lost; the Southwest Fleet was pretty good, losing only one warship. There is also a Northern Fleet, but for some reason it has not arrived yet.
Yueyang was very depressed. He asked himself that he had not underestimated the enemy. He mobilized a large army to encircle and set up an ambush in this way. At first, he was opposed by his subordinates. But he insisted on his opinion, because he knew that since this Qingshi claimed to be able to obtain the 'Black Gold', he must be a person with incredible magic skills, and he could be sure that such a person would never be single. The purpose of dispatching so many troops was not to fight, but mainly to prevent him from escaping after getting the treasure. But now, he realized that even in a tough battle, he was no match for him.
For a moment, Yueyang was at a loss.
Qingshi no longer chased the fleeing enemies or attacked across the ocean. He drove the Xuanhu back to less than ten miles away from Green Sand Island and sent a message asking Hu Hailong to dive over to the Xuanhu. As a result, Hu Hailong did not reply to the message. Qingshi I didn't know what his condition was for a while, so I had to temporarily stop the boat and wait.
When he saw Qingshi moving across the ocean, he did not act rashly and concentrated on waiting for the arrival of Hawkeye Liu's Northern Fleet.
At this time, the Xuanhu was about ten miles southeast of Green Sand Island, and the transoceanic fleet was more than ten miles southwest of Green Sand Island. The two sides formed a triangle with Green Sand Island, and the distance between them was about fifteen miles, which exceeded The Black Tiger's cannon range.
Qingshi was waiting for Hu Hailong, and Yueyang was waiting for Hawkeye Liu, but he didn't know that the two people were gathering together to talk and conspire at this time.
...
After Hu Hailong swam to Green Sand Island, he was discovered by the shipwreck soldiers who had already fled to the island as soon as he touched the shore. However, no one paid attention to him. Hu Hailong was shirtless and exposed the tattoos that only pirates have, so he was naturally considered by these soldiers. It's one of our own.
Hu Hailong cursed and swaggered to a group of soldiers. He pretended to be exhausted and fell down on the sand to close his eyes and rest. However, his ears were not idle and he kept listening to what these soldiers were saying. After a while, Hu Hailong heard the news of the encirclement of the four fleets, and knew that the leader of the Northern Fleet was Hawkeye Liu.
Hawkeye Liu? Hu Hailong was overjoyed and thought to himself: It turns out that senior brother has joined Haiyan Hou Yueyang, that's great! Oops, no, it’s not good at all! No, I have to stop senior brother from coming! "
Hu Hailong stood up and walked slowly to the north. No one paid attention to him. Soon, he passed through a patch of rocks and came to the north bank. Hu Hailong quietly went into the sea, dived into the water and swam towards the north. His speed was extremely fast, as fast as a big fish.
Before going into the water, Hu Hailong wanted to send a message to Qingshi, but the Xuanhu was twenty miles away at this time, so Hu Hailong had to give up.
Hawkeye Liu - Liu Haiying stood proudly on the bow of the flagship Haiying, facing the sea breeze, squinting his one eye and looking forward. Even with only one eye left, no one dared to say that his eyesight was better than his.
Hawkeye Liu took more than a hundred elite brothers to Yueyang five years ago. He was greatly appreciated by Yueyang. As soon as he arrived, he was listed as one of the Four King Kongs and commanded the Northern Fleet. This time, Yueyang asked him to lead the Northern Fleet to encircle them. Naturally, he took the fleet under his command to the designated sea area from his base.
Just now, he received an order from a tamed sea eagle across the ocean, asking him to release the bloodthirsty sea eagle and pay attention to whether there was anyone flying invisibly in the sky using a magic weapon.
Can anyone fly? Can it still be invisible? Eagle Eye Liu was confused, but he still released three giant bloodthirsty sea eagles he had tamed, letting them circle in the sky on alert to check for abnormalities. He himself stood on the bow of the boat, squinting his one eye and looking at the sky.
Hawkeye Liu didn't notice anything unusual in the sky, but instead noticed something unusual happening in the sea.
Less than two miles in front of the Sea Eagle, water suddenly surged under the sea surface and white waves rolled. In the rolling waves, a mast pierced the sea and pointed to the sky. Then, a huge black ship emerged. On the water surface, it protrudes from the sea with huge waves, and the turbulent sea water rushes down from the left and right sides of the ship. The scene is spectacular. Such a wonder makes Liu Ye, an eagle who has been in the sea for two hundred years, stunned.
"Alert!" Hawkeye Liu was well-informed after all. He returned to normal in an instant and began to give orders, "All personnel are on alert, everyone enters combat positions, starboard rudder is full, bows and arrows are ready, broadsides are ready... "
The whole fleet was busy. Everyone stared at this behemoth with wide eyes, curious and full of awe. After all, the Sea Eagle is only twenty feet long.
I saw a big man all naked and wearing only a pair of knee-length shorts. He jumped ten feet from the sea and landed steadily on the bow of the huge black ship. Then, the black giant ship quickly sailed towards the Sea Eagle.
"Senior Brother Eagle Eye!" The big man shouted at Liu Haiying, "I am Hai Long! Hu Hailong, the current sixth leader of the Xuanhu Gang and the former top leader of the Hailong Gang!"
"Junior Brother Hu!" Hawkeye Liu exclaimed in surprise, "You are finally willing to come back!" Then he said with some caution, "Xuanhu Gang? What are you doing now...what are you doing now?" He doesn't need to speak as loudly as Hu Hailong, and his cultivation is obviously better than Hu Hailong's.
"Senior brother!" Hu Hailong shouted, "This is a long story. Please allow me to come over and talk, senior brother."
"Okay!" Hawkeye Liu Lue hesitated and said, "Come here! No matter what the situation, senior brother will guarantee your safety!"
"Good luck!" Hu Hailong said loudly, "Senior brother, Hai Long is here!"
Hu Hailong jumped up and flew nearly twenty feet in the air before falling to the water. Everyone thought he was going to plunge into the sea and swim over, but unexpectedly, Hu Hailong gently floated down to the water and then walked on the waves. , running towards the Sea Eagle.
At this time, the two ships are still about a mile apart, and one mile is two hundred feet. With such a distance, even the second leader of the Jukun Gang, who is known as "controlling the sea with both arms and riding the waves with one step," can hardly ride the waves in one breath. Run over here.
Hawkeye Liu and others looked at Hu Hailong, wanting to see how far he could run before falling into the water. Unexpectedly, Hu Hailong had an elegant figure, and waves rolled up at his feet, as if the sea water turned into palms to support him. Forward.
In the midst of everyone's exclamation, Hu Hailong did not fall into the sea water. He crossed a distance of 200 feet across the waves in one fell swoop and jumped onto the bow of the Sea Eagle.
Even Bu Ruolang couldn't accomplish such a feat. Hu Hailong was able to do it not because his martial arts cultivation surpassed that of Bu Ruolang, but because he had completed the Hu family's "Water Source Skill". This Water Source Skill's control over water indeed surpassed all other water systems. Magic and martial arts.
Judging from Hu Hailong's current situation, the day when his martial arts cultivation surpasses Bu Ruolang's is obviously not far away.
"Junior brother is so capable!" Hawkeye Liu laughed and hugged Hu Hailong.
"You kid!" A person behind Hawkeye Liu laughed, "You're really promising!" He stepped forward, stretched out his fist and punched Hu Hailong twice on the shoulder.
"Brother Qiyun is making fun of you!" Hu Hailong greeted with a smile, "How can I compare to you?" This person is Zheng Qiyun, Eagle Eye Liu's deputy.
Then, several more people came forward to greet Hu Hailong. It seemed that Hu Hailong had some connections with them.
In fact, Hu Hailong was originally the younger brother of Eagle Eye Liu. After the demise of the Hu family, Hu Hailong was exiled abroad alone. It was Eagle Eye Liu who took him in. A group of their brothers gathered together as thieves and licked blood from the knife edge together. Up to twenty years.
Later, Hu Hailong left Hawkeye Liu and returned to the Great Mirage to work alone and started the Hailong Gang. Hu Hailong, like the Jukun Gang, only robbed government offices and did not rob civilian ships. They were called chivalrous and righteous, but in fact they were more seeking revenge on the imperial court of the Great Mirage. But he was very contradictory. On the one hand, he avenged the government for stealing, but on the other hand, he wanted to vindicate his father through the Great Mirage court.
Hu Hailong exchanged pleasantries with these brothers, and then asked Hawkeye Liu to talk about various situations between himself and the Xuanhu Gang, and also talked about the origins of this cross-ocean conflict and the situation between the two sides until now.
Hawkeye Liu and his three most trusted subordinates Zheng Qiyun, Huang Ji and Ma Kui listened to Hu Hailong's words. They rarely interrupted and listened very carefully, but the expressions on their faces were doubtful.
