Wang Zhen's expression changed and he quickly asked: "How many cabins are missing?"
The sergeant replied: "Three!"
Wang Zhen felt the ship shaking violently, and a few pieces of wood floated on the sea. He grabbed the side of the ship and shouted to Luo Guanying's flagship: "Three watertight compartments have been destroyed. If this continues, the entire ship will sink!"
Luo Guanying knew that the matter was urgent and looked at Zhao Shiyu: "Get ready to transfer the sergeants and abandon the big fortune ship!"
Zhao Shiyu shook his head resolutely: "No, there are three Overlord Sharks in the sea now. If we don't deal with them, there will be no chance to transfer all the sergeants. Changing to a small boat will give Overlord Sharks an opportunity!"
It's not that Luo Guanying doesn't know this truth, but if these things are allowed to damage the Dafu ship, it will be a matter of time before the ship sinks. Once it sinks into the sea, the sergeants on the Dafu ship will become fish and shrimps in the sea, allowing great white sharks to eat them!
"Unless, destroy them!"
Luo Guanying gritted his teeth.
Zhao Shiyu stared with red eyes: "But this thing's skin is too thick, and it gets into the sea water from time to time, so it's difficult for us to hurt it at all!"
Luo Guanying watched the Eight Bull Crossbow shoot out, which could only cause minor injuries to the Great White Shark. Every time the bloody mouth opened, it would take away a sergeant. His heart was on fire. He turned to look at the grenade on the sergeant's waist. He shouted at Wang Zhen: "Tie up seven or eight grenades and throw them into their mouths!"
When Wang Zhen heard this, he quickly ordered the sergeant to take out the grenade and tie it with a rope. Suddenly the ship swayed and Wang Zhen almost fell out. He grabbed the side of the ship with one hand and looked towards the sea.
At this time, two great white sharks bit the sergeant and took him straight into the sea. Because the rope on the sergeant's body was mostly connected to the mast of the Dafu ship, the great white sharks did not bite the rope, causing the rope to straighten and drag the Dafu ship tilted. Gliding on the sea.
"Cut the rope!"
Wang Zhen shouted sharply.
The sergeant also knew that the entire ship would capsize if it was not cut off, and the sergeant who was bitten might have no chance of survival. He cut off two ropes with his knife, and the Dafu boat, which was almost leaning against the sea, immediately straightened up. The sergeant in the cabin did not pay attention and fell down.
The great white shark plunged into the sea. Wang Zhen watched another great white shark swim towards the Dafu boat, holding a grenade. The sergeant Zhang Mao, who was clinging to the side of the boat, raised his head to see the grenade, then looked down at the sea surface, and rushed Wang Zhen yelled, "Give me the grenade, you might hurt other brothers if you throw it away!"
Wang Zhen shouted angrily: "Get the fuck up here before you talk! Pull as hard as you can!"
The sergeants pulled the ropes and pulled up the sergeants hanging on the outside of the ship. Zhang Mao climbed to a high place, looked at the swimming great white shark, reached out to grab Wang Zhen, and shouted: "Give me the grenade, quickly!"
Wang Zhen handed the grenade to Zhang Mao. Zhang Mao grabbed the grenade with one hand and the rope with the other. He boarded the ship's side with his feet and slid to the sea amidst the exclamations of Wang Zhen and others!
"Zhang Mao, come back here!"
Wang Zhen shouted hurriedly!
Zhang Mao shouted angrily: "Beast, come on! Grandpa treats you to a big dinner!"
The great white shark lurked in the sea water, and saw a falling prey through the sea water. Its tail fin swung violently, the sea water was separated, its huge body jumped out, and its bloody mouth went straight towards Zhang Mao!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Mao pulled out the fuses of several grenades, and then threw the grenades down. The smell of blood was sprayed from his bloody mouth, and the stench almost made Zhang Mao suffocate.
A string of black grenades fell into the mouth of the great white shark. The great white shark snapped and fell into the sea, causing huge waves. Wang Zhen pulled the rope and pulled Zhang Mao up little by little, but Zhang Mao stared at the sea and silently counted "one, two, three!"
boom!
A dull sound came out, and the sea water rolled away like it was boiling, followed by patches of blood and broken flesh. A huge great white shark surfaced, with more than half of its head broken into pieces. The bloody teeth were shining and floating lifelessly on the sea.
Zhang Mao grinned and shouted at the dead great white shark: "Bite me again, come on!"
Wang Zhen pulled Zhang Mao to the boat and yelled: "Do you know how dangerous it was just now?
What to do if a great white shark eats it? If you don't obey orders and act recklessly, be careful and I'll slap you! "
Zhang Maohun didn't care: "If I really want to be eaten, I will pull the grenade out of its belly and die with it!"
Wang Zhen was shocked.
This is the blood of the Navy, the backbone and stubbornness of the Navy sergeant!
Two other great white sharks swam over and saw the dead great white shark. They were completely angered and began to crazily ram the Dafu boat where Wang Zhen was. At this time, Luo Guanying commanded the treasure ship to approach the Dafu Ship, and ordered Liu An and Su An to take their own ships to cooperate and surround the Dafu Ship where Wang Zhen was in a triangle.
Luo Guanying narrowed his eyes and said to Zhao Shiyu: "You take command, and I will control the Eight Bull Crossbow. Tell the other ships to aim at the eyes of the great white sharks, and just shoot the Eight Bull Crossbow's crossbow arrows into their eyes, and then it will be completely destroyed!"
Zhao Shiyu nodded and watched Luo Guanying enter the cabin and notify other ships that all the Eight Ox Crossbows were aimed at the eyes of the Great White Shark. On the outside of Wang Zhen's ship, there are brave sergeants hanging, holding grenades in their hands. These sergeants are agile, have good balance, and are courageous. They are just waiting for the great white sharks to bite them out so that they can feed them the grenades.
The great white shark seemed to be aware of the danger. It stayed in the sea water and repeatedly hit the Dafu boat. The boat rocked back and forth. The two cabins at the bottom of the boat cracked due to the strong impact, and seawater slowly seeped in.
The Dafu ship is becoming more and more dangerous. Wang Zhen knows that if this continues, the watertight cabin will be completely broken and seawater will enter the cabin. By then it will be too late. But Wang Zhen had no choice but to respond passively.
Luo Guanying operated an eight-oxen crossbow and stared at the constantly rocking Dafu ship. He saw a great white shark popping up and smashing down the machine gun. The strong bowstring exerted huge force on the iron arrow and passed through the porthole. Almost at the same time, Dense iron arrows flew out!
Puff puff!
Intensive piercing sounds came out!
Two iron arrows were inserted into the eye sockets of the great white shark. The great white shark sank into the seawater and rolled painfully. Waves of seawater were stirred up, and the waves splashed nearly ten feet high.
But no matter how the great white shark tossed and rolled, the powerful crossbow arrows pierced the unprotected eye sockets and penetrated deep into its body, causing fatal injuries to it. In addition, the great white shark emerged from the sea from time to time, and from time to time, the crossbow arrows were shot again!
The last great white shark seemed to be angered and slammed into the Dafu ship, causing the wooden planks at the bottom of the Dafu ship to be unable to bear any longer and break apart. However, the existence of the watertight cabin protected the Dafu ship from the influx of large numbers of people in a short period of time. and sank in the sea.
Zhang Mao and other sergeants returned to the ship from the outside of the ship. The frantic great white shark did not attack people at all. Instead, it wanted to overturn the entire ship. This made Wang Zhen very depressed. The big treasure ship is there, but you should ram it. Press What's going on with our big lucky boat? Are you easy to bully?
When the shot great white shark lost its strength and floated lifelessly, the last great white shark sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.
Luo Guanying and others waited for nearly half an hour, but still no great white shark appeared. Considering that the Dafu ship where Wang Zhen was located was seriously damaged, there was no dock to repair it, and the subsequent voyage might be even more dangerous, Luo Guanying ordered the Dafu ship to be abandoned , and transferred all the materials and crew of the two Dafu ships to the treasure ship.
Although Wang Zhen and Su An were somewhat resistant, considering the safety of all members, they still gave up the Dafu Ship. Due to its huge size and size, the treasure ship is more resistant to storms and sea monsters than the big fortune ship, and is safer.
Zhao Shiyu ordered the sergeant to take a small boat and saw the great white shark. The fish meat was salted or dried on the boat to be used as military supplies. Zhao Miaozi also specifically told the sergeant to keep the shark fins.
Two huge great white sharks were dismembered and became the rations of the Ming Dynasty sergeants.
There is no choice but to live by the sea.
Although Luo Guanying transferred the sergeants and supplies of the two Dafu ships, he did not abandon the Dafu ships. Instead, he towed the Dafu ships and continued to move forward. Who knows how many dangers there are in the sea ahead. One more boat means more safety.
To alert those behind
In the fleet, Luo Guanying left many empty barrels and left words on each barrel. These wooden barrels will move along the ocean current, but the speed is obviously slower than the treasure ship. When subsequent ships pass by, they may encounter these wooden barrels and learn about the conditions of the voyage ahead.
Luo Guanying wanted to send a signal to Zheng He: use treasure ships to complete the mission and abandon the Dafu Ship to reduce damage.
Facts have proved that Luo Guanying's decision was extremely correct. He used his wisdom to avoid the casualties of many sergeants.
More than ten days later, Zheng He indeed received "messages", but these "messages" were no longer from Luo Guanying, but from Shen Wei's fleet.
After receiving the "news" from Luo Guanying, Shen Wei made a prompt decision and emptied the Dafu ship, and then dropped more barrels to ensure that subsequent fleets could adjust their strategies in time.
Zheng He was not a rigid person. In addition to several storms and dangers, although the Dafu ship resisted, the damage obviously exceeded the treasure ship. In order to minimize casualties and ensure that the fleet finally reached South America, Zheng He took the same measures as Luo Guanying. strategy to lead the great fortune ship forward.
In the vast sea, small fleets moved forward, passing through the vastness of thousands of miles, experiencing the edge of life and death, the farewell of death and life, and the long westward journey...
This was an unprecedented voyage and the greatest voyage belonging to the Ming Navy. The process was accompanied by risks and sacrifices, but they still held their heads high and headed west proudly.
The sea, no matter how far it is, has an end!
A nine-story tower starts from tired soil; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!
As long as you don't give up, as long as you don't go in the wrong direction, and keep sailing one journey after another, you will definitely reach the final destination, for sure!
