Gong Cheng's decision to escape was not a sudden one. During the whole night of the battle, the water dog with excellent water properties passed the message back and forth four times. When Xiao Letian's last words spread all over Naha, people shouted to wake up quickly. After fighting with Hu Hu's slogan, Gong Cheng quickly made a decision and that was to run.
"The people in this city have gone completely crazy. The fact that this kind of death can flow out from Shuri Castle means that Jin Changsen and the others are completely finished. Now the main war faction has absolute control. The French will definitely lose in this muddy water. We can't Mixed."
Gong Cheng has an intuition that is close to genius when it comes to figuring out people's hearts. Otherwise, he would not have been able to figure out this scam. Now that the war has reached this point, if he still can't smell the smell of failure, then at his age he can It’s really like living on a dog.
Gong Cheng's status in the French Expeditionary Force is very special. Even though he is Chinese, he still holds the title of British senior adviser on his head. If he wants to leave, no one can stop him. Plus, the sea in the west The merchant ship belonging to the United Kingdom never left, and Major General Bruce did not dare to use force.
"Let him go away, these Chinese are a bunch of liars... Keep firing and support our army..."
The sound of cannons rumbled on the sea, and smoke rose everywhere. The water dogs paddled desperately in the waves, and the small boats pierced the waves and sailed towards the British merchant ships.
"Don't worry, sir. With my water dog, there is no danger in the sea. Let's go back to Shanghai as soon as possible. We will be safe when we reach the concession. No one wants to cause trouble for us from the British..."
"Good job. You are still reliable at critical moments. It's not in vain for me to clear your name. This time I will find you some good livelihood when you return to China... Wait, what is that to the south." Gong Cheng was making a wish. Suddenly, I found a few black spots faintly appearing on the sea in the south.
The water dog took out the monocular telescope from his arms and was stunned after just one glance. Then he put down the telescope and wrestled with the oars with his hands, shaking like the wind. "Sir, be careful. A group of my enemies are coming. We must return to England immediately." Get on the boat..."
"Enemies, who are your enemies? Why are there your enemies here..."
"Don't ask, sir. If you have the strength, just give me a few strokes..."
At that moment, the boat was as if it had been plugged into an electric motor. The bow of the boat floated up, and it was smashed on the sea. Directly south of the boat, three Chinese-style sailing boats common in the South China Sea were riding the wind and waves all the way to the north. Crush over.
There is a black skull and crossbones flag flying on the bow, as well as a black fish flag. The mast is filled with sailors who are yelling and waving long knives and guns. There are even two small bronze cannons on the deck being debugged. Such a decoration is easy to guess. I know this is a Chinese pirate ship traveling in the South China Sea.
"Quick, quick, quick... cheer me up. I will be the first to send the news that the Prime Minister is still alive to Ryukyu. The Chinese businessmen in the Lion City will give me 50,000 taels. Damn it, I, the golden-eyed sea bream, will make some money today... "
Standing with his arms akimbo was none other than the famous pirate Golden Eyed Snapper in the South China Sea. This overlord of the sea who admired the strong the most became very enthusiastic when he heard that Xiao Letian had sent a message and still had 50,000 taels of silver to take.
At this time, Xiao Letian was already the prime minister in the eyes of all Chinese in Southeast Asia, and he was a great hero who could run rampant in Europe. Those green forest men who grew up hearing about the Three Mountains and Five Mountains and the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, who would not admire such a good man.
"This is what a hero is. If you can win a foreign war, that's when Grandpa Yue Feiyue is alive...I haven't read a book, and I know that those who fight foreign wars are better than those who fight civil wars... If you are not convinced, just argue. "
"In the Han Dynasty, there were Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, in the Tang Dynasty, there were Li Jing and Xue Rengui, and in the Song Dynasty, there was Grandpa Yue who died unjustly... They are all famous generals through the ages, and they are the most distinguished good men... I am Golden Eyed Snapper. If you don’t accept anyone else, then you will accept such a great hero.”
"Prime Minister Xiao can make all the Han people in the world proud in Europe. That's worthy of my knees. Now I still have money to report the news. If I don't dare to do it again, I will be swallowed up by the Dragon King..."
Goldeneye Snapper shouted about his excitement, came to a dry land to pull onions and rushed to the mast. He held the cable with one hand and pointed to the distant island with the other hand.
"Damn it, Japanese pirates like Nohira Tai and Yuki Ying can have a glittering future under the Prime Minister's command. We are all Han Chinese, so why are we not as good as them? Brothers, don't be afraid of death. How many times can we fight in life? , let’s also change our wife’s shadow..."
This last sentence revealed the true thoughts of Golden Eyed Snapper. Who said that gangsters can't be tempted? This group of people is actually more slippery than monkeys. To take refuge in a hero like Xiao Letian is first of all to have face, and to be a green forest friend in the mountains and mountains. No one dares to laugh, and secondly, there is money to be paid. If they are the first to send the news to Naha, the Chinese in the Lion City really don't care about the 50,000 taels of silver reward.
The last time is the truest dream in their hearts. Who can do business with their heads for a lifetime? Take advantage of the good opportunity to form a good relationship with the Prime Minister. Xiao Cheng, even the Japanese pirates, can be used for their own purposes. We are all Don't the Chinese even give them a chance?
A charlatan, even though he likes to say harsh words, who doesn't have a dream to recruit someone?
When the golden-eyed sea bream got excited, he tore his shirt to pieces, revealing the bronze skin common in the sea and the two ferocious golden-eyed sea bream on his back. The fire gun in his hand made a muffled sound.
"Brothers, wealth and honor are found in danger. Today I will sacrifice my life in exchange for wealth and honor..."
The brothers on the three pirate ships were all caught up in utter fanaticism, shaking their weapons one by one and shouting, "I'm working hard to get riches... I'm working hard to get riches... Raise the flag."
A huge flag with the character "Xiao" in it was making a sound. I don't know where the golden-eyed seabream got such a big piece of white cloth. This flag actually covered more than thirty square meters, which was as big as a small house.
The swaying sea breeze was blowing the flag, with a big character "Xiao" on it, proving that the real master of Ryukyu, Xiao Letian, was coming back.
How could the French lookout not see such a big flag coming from the south? "Captain, look to the south. There is a strange ship... It's a pirate ship... That flag is so weird, what on earth is it?"
Of course there were translators who were proficient in Chinese in the expeditionary force. When they picked up the binoculars and looked at it, their backs were wet with fright. "It's the word "xiao" to identify the flag. Oh my god, that man pronounced "xiao"... that's Xiao Letian's surname."
There was an explosion on the battleship. It was said that the man the French wanted to hear the least about now was Xiao. This bloody expedition was started because of this man named Xiao. If it hadn't been for him, so many people would not have died.
"What the hell is this? It's so weird... Forget it, no matter what it is, adjust your attitude immediately and prepare to fight..." The two southernmost battleships, Poseidon and Rafale, began to turn the rudder and adjust the angle of the sails. An arc of white waves was cut out of the sea. The bows of the two warships were facing east and their starboard sides were preparing to meet the enemy.
However, they underestimated the courage and fanaticism of this group of Chinese pirates, and also forgot that the current sailors were exhausted and exhausted, and now was not the best time for the expeditionary fleet.
The steering of Poseidon and Rafale was not smooth. Because the distance between the two ships was too close, there was even an accident where the cables were entangled. There was only a muffled sound in the air, and the taut cables broke in mid-air, like an iron whip. Whip into the wind.
"Damn, how do you man the sail..."
"Captain, we don't have enough manpower. Some of the sailors on the ship have been transferred ashore... We really can't take care of it..."
Just as there was a debate on the battleship, the pirates from the south finally took action. The three bow cannons were filled with gunpowder. After three loud bangs, a dark cloud rushed out.
Grape bombs, this group of insidious guys actually installed sail-killing grape bombs. After the heavy rain, the sails of the two battleships were blown into countless holes, and they were suddenly unable to withstand the wind.
Goldeneye Snapper's flagship is in the middle, with two pirate ships on the left and right covering the flanks. Now Goldeneye Snapper's eyes are fixed on the gap between Poseidon and Rafale, and his flagship is about to rush through that gap. , as long as they rush to Naha Bay, the soldiers and civilians on land will definitely be able to see the zodiac sign and recognize the flag.
"Brothers, the outcome depends on this shiver. I don't want these three ships... just bump into them."
Goldeneye Snapper is ruthless enough. He knows that fighting the French with artillery is asking for death. If he wants to break through the warship interception, he must use the most primitive tactics of collision.
The bloodthirsty pirates had already entered a frenzied state. They shouted in unison, "If we hit it, we will die and we will die for eternity."
"I'll trade my life for wealth." Amidst the fanatical shouting, the three pirate ships rushed forward with an indomitable momentum.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters... getting closer and closer, so close that everyone could see the faces of the panicked people on the French warship.
"Shoot... kill them..." After a burst of white smoke, a hail of bullets hit the French warship. At this time, the distance between the enemy and us was less than twenty meters.
The French army, who was fleeing in panic in the rain of bullets, finally became frightened. Countless people shouted the name of God and screamed, but death was already ahead of God, and the hell of the battleships finally arrived.
Boom boom boom… click click click click…
The loud noise of the impact and the sound of splintering wood stung everyone's eardrums. The flagship of the Goldeneye Seabream squeezed through the middle of the two ships, and the sides of the ships on both sides were smashed.
"Come up and fight with these French devils... let them see our Chinese Kung Fu." Countless pirates jumped from the mast like apes, and some rushed over from the deck, and the two warships suddenly traveled back to It’s the age of cold weapons.
Golden Eyed Snapper has a more important mission, and he has no time to dwell on it. His only mission now is to rush over and let the flag fly over Naha Bay. Even if it is bombarded by ten thousand artillery pieces, it is worth it.
"Quick, quick, quick... If there is another strong wind, let me snatch my boat out. Lord Dragon, please bless me and give me a strong wind..."
If you want wind, then there will be wind. Xiao Letian is indeed the hidden dragon in everyone's mouth. At that moment, a southerly wind suddenly appeared on the sea. The pirate's sail sandwiched between the two ships suddenly swelled. A huge force pushed him.
"Hahaha, it's so enjoyable, so enjoyable..." In front of Goldeneye Snapper's eyes, his pirate ship has been completely deformed, and both sides of the hull have been destroyed, even the keel inside was exposed.
But no matter what, he finally squeezed through, Xiao Zi recognized the flag and finally returned to Ryukyu.
