Chapter 153 Go Home
Looking at the Flying Wolf rolling and burning on the sea, Lin Shouche held the side of the ship and silently stared at the Flying Wolf. After a while, he slowly knelt down on the Flying Wolf, supported the injured body, and bowed a few times to the position of the Flying Wolf.
"Brothers are easy to go, and I haven't been able to go with you. I hope you don't be angry. Don't worry, go there to occupy a seat for your brothers. Brothers may come sometime! Brothers, you must take good care of your families when you go back. Please rest assured!" Lin Shouche kowtowed and whispered.
Several Flying Wolf sailors who followed him also knelt down with him, cried for a long time, and kowtowed to say goodbye to the dead brothers.
And all the crew of the Flying Sand also came to the deck to line up at this time. They were neatly arranged in two rows. Under the order of Ma Ru, they knelt down on one knee, like the Flying Wolf and the dead crew.
At the same time, all the members of the former Flying Cloud also lined up on the deck. Under the leadership of Luo Xianbin, they knelt down on one knee together to pay tribute to the Flying Wolf and the brothers who died in battle.
At this time, there were several old Chu Cai's boats around the Seawolf behind them, but these boats came a little late. They could only look at the two ships, the Feiyun and the Feisha, raised their full sails, and began to eat the wind. They drove towards the southeast sea at full speed, but they could not continue to catch up with them.
The shopkeeper Xiao led the ship to the battlefield. Seeing the "ghost ship" rolling in the fire, he jumped and scolded angrily, shouted and ordered the boats to stick it up, and tried their best to put out the fire on the ship. Nothing could make the ghost ship sink. At least they had to drag back a wreckage to save some face.
This time they set an ambush on Kinmen Island. This shopkeeper Xiao can be said to have mobilized all his elites. He thought he could catch them all, but he didn't think the ending would be like this.
These three ghost boats not only broke through their encirclement, but also destroyed nearly ten of their fast paddle boats in a row, injured several of them, and destroyed four of their other larger ships and injured one.
However, the results they returned only "destroyed" a "ghost ship" and the so-called destruction, and there was some moisture. To put it better, it was destroyed by them. To be clear, it was actually self-destructed.
Now all that is left to them is this burning ghost ship, which is really fucking damn. Now that they have paid such a big price, they still haven't even figured out the identity of the other party, so he angrily ordered his men to find a way to catch the fire on this burning ghost ship. Extinguish and save this ghost ship.
However, the boat is made of wood, and it is sprinkled with a lot of grease. Once ignited, it is not easy to extinguish. The surrounding temperature of the fire is very high, and there is no high pressure and water guns to use in this era. It is not easy for Chu Cai's old men to be ordered to put out the fire.
Although they tried to get close to the Flying Wolf, the high temperature caused by the fire made them unable to get close to them. As soon as they leaned on, some of their beards were rolled up by the high temperature, and the scorching air made people's skin painful.
A limited bucket of seawater was poured over, and some water sprayed on the Flying Wolf, and it was immediately evaporated. It only made a buzzing sound, but the fire could not be put out at all. Unless God opens his eyes and a heavy rain suddenly falls, it is possible to water the fire. Destroy.
However, there is less rain on the sea in winter, and the weather happens to be good on this day, and it is impossible to have a heavy rain, so these Chu Cai's men can only surround the burning flying wolf, but they have no way to bite a hedgehog like a dog.
Just as they jumped hurriedly, suddenly there was a huge roar under the cabin of the Flying Wolf. The whole Flying Wolf was shaken violently by the explosion, and then the deck of the ship suddenly lifted up, and the mast collapsed with a click, falling on the deck, and then the ship The body began to crack. After a while, the flying wolf began to disintegrate in full view of the public, and then slowly sank. After a while, there were only some smoking boards on the sea, floating in the sea.
The old man's men around were scared by the sudden explosion and almost peed their pants for fear of affecting their ship. Fortunately, there was not much gunpowder placed on the bottom of the Flying Wolf. They just blew up the keel at the bottom of the ship, blew up a big hole in the bottom of the ship, and cracked the hull. The explosion did not affect the surroundings. Chu Cai's old ship.
Looking at the ghost ship, it sank under his nose, but there was nothing he could do. The shopkeeper surnamed Xiao was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. Now he was completely busy. He paid such a big price that he didn't get anything except a few burnt black rags. This time, he didn't know how to explain to Mr. Chu Cai after he went back.
A few days after Yu Xiaotian, he personally welcomed Luo Xianbin and the two ships Feiyun and Feisha that he brought back, as well as the remaining sailors on the Flying Wolf, at the exclusive dock on Nanri Island.
It is undoubtedly the highest honor for Yu Xiaotian to welcome him on the dock in person, so all the people who came back were extremely excited to clean themselves up as much as possible and lined up to go down to the trestle under the leadership of their respective captains.
Yu Xiaotian stood on the trestle, wearing a short black cloak and looking at these returning men energetically.
Except for Luo Xianbin, Ma Ru and the first mate of the two ships to visit Yu Xiaotian, the rest of the crew members passed in front of Yu Xiaotian and returned to the shore.
And Yu Xiaotian kept saluteing the people who passed in front of him and said repeatedly, "Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your hard work! ......โ
In fact, your subordinates don't necessarily have to give them much money and high status. Many times they only need a warm word at the head, and he may be willing to die for you.
And these sailors who have been sailing for more than two months need a little psychological comfort from their masters when they finally come back after many bloody tests.
Today, Yu Xiaotian just met their psychological needs. He not only greeted them on the dock in person, but also saluted them. Although the words are very simple and just a sentence of your hard work, this is enough for these people who come back.
Many people were even moved to tears, cheered for Xiaotian, walked far in front of Yu Xiaotian, and continued to look at Yu Xiaotian with their heads twisted.
Yu Xiaotian helped Luo Xianbin, Ma Ru and the two first mates. Although he did not know the situation of the Flying Wolf or the situation of Lin Shouche at this time, he roughly guessed that they must have encountered some trouble from the two ships. The Flying Wolf must have been damaged outside and returned again. Not coming.
"Age of the great head! He was incompetent and failed to bring the Flying Wolf back! Please punish the big head!" Luo Xianbin said to Xiaotian with shame.
In fact, the loss of the Flying Wolf has something to do with his greed. Luo Xianbin has an inescapable responsibility. If he is not greedy for his achievements, he will not return directly to Nanri Island with three ships, and he will not encounter this ambush, and the Flying Wolf will not be damaged.
So Luo Xianbin did not mean that Xiaotian knew the situation and took the initiative to plead guilty to Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Let's talk about the details later!" Whether it is merit or not, it will be decided by the execution hall! Don't be in a hurry to plead guilty, but just come back! All right, where is Lin Shouche? What about the brothers of the Flying Wolf? They won't all..."
"Brother Lin is still alive for the time being and will come down soon! But most of the brothers of the Flying Wolf... Alas! There are nine left, and the seriously injured brothers can't survive on the way back!" Luo Xianbin replied quickly.
While talking, several crew members who were still wearing bandages also walked off the side of the ship with the help of some other crew members. Two crew members carried several people on stretchers, and a stretcher at the head was carried directly to Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian looked down and saw that it was Lin Shouche himself, but at this time, Lin Shouche's face was sallow, and he also lost a lot of weight. He was almost out of shape, and his forehead was still wrapped in bandages, which showed that his head was also traumatized.
But at this moment, Lin Shouche's spirit is not bad. When he was carried in front of Yu Xiaotian, he struggled a few times and tried to stand up his upper body to show courtesy to Yu Xiaotian.
But Yu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and pressed him on the shoulder, pressed him on the stretcher, and said urgently, "Don't be too polite, lie down and talk! Just come back! Just come back!"
Lin Shou's eyes turned red and choked, "I'm a great head, humble and incompetent! I couldn't bring the Flying Wolf back! I couldn't bring all the brothers back on the boat! ......โ
Yu Xiaotian nodded, then shook his head and said, "It is common for soldiers to win or lose. How can you go south to do such a thing without any loss! As long as you can come back alive, let's talk about the rest!
Don't worry, just come back! Come on, send the Lin brothers to the hospital quickly and ask the medical officers to use the best medicine. I want them to live! Did you hear that?
After saying that, he loosened Lin Shouche's hand, patted Lin Shouche on the shoulder, then walked to the injured, hugged them one by one and said, "You are suffering! Just come back! Welcome home!"
Several wounded cried at that time and wanted to kneel down to salute Yu Xiaotian, but they were stopped by Yu Xiaotian, and Liu Wang, who followed him, immediately responded to his orders, waved his own soldiers, caught the wounded, and immediately transferred them to the hospital in the village of Nanri Island for treatment.
(Second update! Brothers, check it! Ha ha!)
