The storm was tossing all night long.
In the early morning of the next day, when the heavy rain finally left them and the strong wind subsided, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the Tang soldiers lying around and resting on the ship.
Xu Yunyan took the opportunity to step forward and ask for instructions.
"Your Highness, these are the bravest soldiers of our Tang Dynasty. Seeing them disappear without a trace makes us very sad.
I also hope that His Highness can obtain the status of a hero for them. "
"That's as it should be."
Li Chengqian, who was originally so heroic, couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing that there were casualties. This was for the Tang Dynasty and the Navy. He must give them a hero's status no matter what.
Li Chengqian made a decision in his heart and said loudly here that he would not let these soldiers who died because of yesterday's storm feel cold. He would erect monuments for them so that their heroic names would be known to the world. It was they who conquered what others said The Dragon King conquered the storm and saved the hope of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian spoke so arrogantly that many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty blushed. In this joyful atmosphere with a hint of sadness, someone suddenly pointed in the distance beside the ship's side.
"Giant fish! Giant fish found!"
Looking at the continuous water column, Li Chengqian involuntarily took out the sword from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the giant fish.
"Soldiers, I know you are tired, and so am I, but isn't the reason why I am waiting to go out to sea to hunt this giant fish? Since we have conquered this thief Dragon King, what else can stop us? Soldiers, follow me Turn the boat around and drag the target giant fish to the shore no matter what, to see what this giant fish looks like."
When Li Chengqian said this, the already exhausted soldiers of the Tang Army found their strength from nowhere. After shouting that they would obey His Highness's military orders, they quickly got into position, pulled up the sails and rushed towards the position of the giant fish with all their strength.
They want the giant fish to be a way for them to vent their anger over the death of their comrades-in-arms.
There seems to be a saying that the soldiers who mourn will win.
What's more, sufficient preparations have been made. Crossbows, trebuchets, shooting poles and other unimaginably huge items that can cause damage to giant fish have been loaded on the ship, and it is marching forward mightily. , Chopping the waves is so majestic.
Now three boats are surrounding such a giant fish. This giant fish has no idea that it is in danger. It is spraying water jets here wantonly and greedily breathing fresh air.
The giant fish, who had no idea that the danger was coming, was still swimming freely here. Just as he kept sucking water and amusing himself, three giant ships had already surrounded him in a perfect font.
After everything was ready, as the messengers on the ship kept waving the small flags in their hands to convey the news that they had been prepared, Li Chengqian raised the sword high above his head and waved it hard at the giant fish. .
In an instant, the crossbows on the three warships began to show their power, and they fired the crossbows at the giant fish that were enough to send the giant fish into the abyss.
This crossbow is no longer a human-driven bow and arrow that may not do much harm to the giant fish. Instead, it has become an oversized bed crossbow. After the sharp arrow was shot, the giant fish was still swimming happily there. His figure froze for an instant.
Maybe it was the pain caused by the sharp arrow. The giant fish jumped up from the sea, but the sharp arrow had already penetrated deeply into his skin and flesh, and there was a rope attached to it. The giant fish couldn't break free even if it wanted to, and it threatened anyone. If he swam in one direction, there were ropes in the other two directions trapping him, making it impossible for him to escape.
Fortunately, the rope on the sharp arrow fired from the bed is very strong, and there will be no problem in fixing it in position on the ship. In this way, the giant fish is firmly locked within the attack range of the warship, allowing him to The water was churning constantly, and there was no chance of escape.
After a long time, more and more crossbows were fired at him. After slapping him dry and slapping him repeatedly, he finally made the giant fish turn over, its white belly facing the sky silently.
All of a sudden everyone cheered here.
"We won, we won."
Some soldiers were shouting here, while more soldiers were crying bitterly.
"Brother, look, this Sea Dragon King can't do anything to us, and this giant fish is like a toy in front of our ships. We won, we won completely."
After the giant fish was completely killed, everyone dragged the giant fish and started sailing back happily, but the route back made them difficult again.
Xu Yunyan looked for the surveyor.
"Surveyor, where did the surveyor go?"
Xu Yunyan shouted loudly here, and when he was looking for the surveyor, several Tang Jun clans stammered here.
"General, surveyor..."
Xu Yunyan felt a bad feeling in his heart when he saw them hesitating here.
"Don't tell me that our surveyor had an accident during this storm."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the person in front of him looked like a wise general who could guess right. Looking at Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.
"Isn't this true?"
Xu Yunyan was so helpless, "How could such a coincidence happen? Did the surveyor really fall into the sea?"
Xu Yunyan looked at the soldiers who were looking at him with admiration and sighed helplessly.
"Time waits for no one. If this is the case, then why are you waiting? Get the compass, I will take you back."
Xu Yunyan had no problem using a compass to guide the way on the sea, but Li Chengqian came to Xu Yunyan's side worriedly.
"Master, is there really no problem? And if we drag this giant fish like this, we won't attract other sharks, right? Master once said that this shark likes blood the most, and our soldiers who fell into the water will not also die. In the belly of this fish, right?"
Xu Yunyan was helpless in this situation.
"Your Highness, this is beyond our control. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in heaven. There is really nothing I can do."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian also felt his powerlessness, and Changsun Chong appeared out of nowhere.
"Hasn't the general always said that man can conquer nature? With our strength, this giant fish is just food in front of us. Are there other fish that are more terrifying than this giant fish?"
Hearing what Changsun Chong said, Xu Yunyan nodded here.
"Indeed, this giant fish is quite a terrifying existence, and it is easy for us to catch it. But what about other ships? Without our size and sophisticated weapons, what can they do? Don't you guys have it? Think about it?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, the person in front of him nodded as if he had thought of something.
"What the general said is true, but what we have considered is still lacking. Battleships are important weapons of the country, and they cannot be left in the hands of ordinary people."
"Since the battleship cannot be casually controlled by ordinary people, they will pay a huge price if they venture out to sea without knowing the harsh conditions in the sea. What will happen to them once they encounter this giant fish? , you must be able to figure it out with your eyes closed, right?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.
Yes, ordinary people would definitely have a narrow escape from encountering this giant fish, but just when everyone was decadent here, Xu Yunyan said something.
"But there's another benefit."
When they heard that it was beneficial, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
"What are the benefits?"
"The good thing is that this giant fish won't attack us casually. As long as we don't provoke him, he is harmless."
When Xu Yunyan said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If people don't offend me, and I don't offend others, it's still relatively good.
"It's just for me, Datang, and even more so for the possible changes that may occur, I can only hunt him."
When Li Chengqian commented on this giant fish like this, Xu Yunyan got a bad taste.
"How about Your Highness give him a title and make this giant fish willing to provide food for us? What do you think, Your Highness?"
Hearing Xu Yunyan's suggestion, Li Chengqian's eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Master is so right. Why didn't I think of such a thing? Since this giant fish is like this and dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, he should be inscribed with a monument to pass on his good name."
