Chapter 44 Encountering Japanese pirates on the way home

At this time, the sky is approaching dusk, and Taishici has had an unexpected harvest today. They don't want to think about the cargo ship. At present, it is the top priority to send the craftsmen on the building to Misty Island safely. If you miss the time to enter Misty Island in the evening, you can only wait until tomorrow morning, because the wave whirlpool in the north of Misty Island only becomes smaller in the evening and early morning, and it is safe when the boat passes.

Taishici wanted to give up the ship full of cargo, but they wanted to take back their eyes from the distance. Suddenly, another ship appeared from Haiti in front of the right of the cargo ship.

A ship that can lurk in the sea? The sudden situation exceeded the cognition of Taishici and Yuba. They have seen fierce sharks, gentle dolphins, and the demeanor of whales, but they have not seen or heard of ships that can dive in the sea!

Tai Shi Cifei fell from the watchtower to the deck. He ordered his generals to send all the craftsmen to the cabin room. Tai Shici's intention is very clear: his next step is to direct the building ship to approach the diving ship. In the face of possible dangers, he wants to ensure the safety of the craftsmen, which is his responsibility.

At the same time, Yu Ba, who was standing in the watchtower, had commanded the ship to turn the rudder and quickly approach the sea of sudden abnormality. At this time, a shipbuilder with excellent eyesight also saw the boat emerging from the sea. He got out of the crowd and leaned against the starboard.

Seeing this, Tai Shici flew to his side and whispered to him, "Brother, please go back to the cabin quickly. We are about to face a battle..."

And the shipbuilder didn't hear Tai Shici's words at all. He pulled Tai Shici's arm with an excited face and said in surprise, "Look, that's the legendary submarine dragon ship... Now that I can see it with my own eyes, I have no regrets..."

Tai Shici realized that the shipbuilder knew the ship that could dive, and he suddenly felt happy.

"Brother, do you know that diving ship?" Tai Shici stared at the shipbuilder and said. At this time, the shipbuilder found that it was Taishici standing beside him. He tried his best to control his excitement and apologized to Taishici and said, "Tai Shi Commander, I don't know it's you... Taishi Commander, the ship that can dive is the legendary submarine dragon ship. It was when Xu Fu was ordered to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality in the Qin Dynasty. , a submerged dragon ship. However, the creation of this kind of ship has disappeared with the demise of the Qin Dynasty... How could it appear here? Is it a mirage?"

Between the conversation between the two, another submersible dragon boat emerged from the sea. Due to the closer distance, Tai Shici and others also clearly saw that the submersible dragon ship emerged from the water like a huge whale. The round hull rose, and the raised sea water slipped from the rising hull. With the rising height, the round body of the ship The two thick iron-wrapped wooden boards were separated to the left and right sides and fell to the two sides of the side of the ship.

At this time, the main cabin and deck of the submarine ship were exposed to the air in turn, like beautiful women taking off their coats one by one. Some warriors dressed in fish skin and covered by black towels quickly filed out of the main cabin with Japanese knives in their hands.

The submarine dragon ship completely emerged from the surface, and the warrior in black with a Japanese knife was in place and launched an attack at any time. Of course, Tai Shici's boat was an accident for them. They were wary of watching Tai Shici's boat approach quickly.

As the distance narrowed, Taishici saw that the robbed cargo ship was the cargo ship of the Cao Gang of the Celestial Empire. Cao Gang has been around since ancient times. It is said that it was built after Fan Li, a doctor of Yue, lived in seclusion. The boat of Cao Gang has only obvious signs: that is, the bow is engraved with the pattern of crocodile head, and the hull and stern are naturally in the shape of crocodile body and crocodile tail.

The main flag of the Cao Gang's cargo ship is embroidered with the word "Lu" of Han Li. The Lu clan in Luzhou is the general helmsman of the contemporary Cao Gang.

The bow of the two submerged dragon ships is a shark pattern, and Bai Sensen's upper and lower two rows of teeth are chilling. Their main flag is the Fusang Red Sun Flag. A group of people stood on the watchtower of a dragon ship, while the watchtower of another dragon ship was kneeling.

Two high-ranking ships from Japan tried to rob a cargo ship of the Cao Gang of the Celestial Empire. Tai Shici thought with his knees and understood the meaning: the cargo ship must be loaded with supplies that were scarce in Japan.

Through the explanation and introduction of Diao Chan and Yu Da, the owner of Wumen, Taishici also learned about the situation of Japan: Japan is an island country, with many earthquakes and volcanoes. The aborigines of Japan are resolute, strong character and unity. At the same time, they are also extremely enthusiastic about internal fighting. Since Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty came to Japan, it has brought earth-shaking changes to Japan... Many sect martial arts and some professional skills that disappeared in the Celestial Empire are still reserved in Japan, such as the invisibility of Iga ninjas, such as the submarine dragon ship in the sight of Taishici and others.

Japan is extremely short of supplies, so since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they have driven canoes to loot the Celes. Nowadays, they can also use large ships to rob.

The sudden appearance of Tai Shici also made the Japanese pirates nervous. The flag bearers of the two submarines communicate with each other in flag language. After communicating according to the leader's intention, the two submarines maintained an aggressive posture at any time and slowly approached the cargo ship of the Cao Gang.

And the cargo ship of Caobang was already in a state of rest, and the appearance of the first submarine has shocked the personnel of the cargo ship. The well-trained crew is well prepared to deal with emergencies.

Of course, the crew in charge of duty also saw the building boat coming from behind in the wind and waves. Of course, he also saw the flag waved by the flag bearer of the building boat: it was his own people to help them...

When the second submarine appeared, the family member of the cargo ship had already appeared on the command platform. He was just a man in his early thirties, wearing a blue scribe's uniform and a blue scribe's scarf. Although he is thin and weak, he is a shooter with excellent archery skills. He is Lu Su, the current young master of the Cao Gang.

Lu Su was in danger. He knew that the boat behind him was friendly and not an enemy, and the two diving warships in front of him were enemies, and they were pirates of foreign countries.

The building ship was rapidly approaching the cargo ship where he was, while the two pirate ships of Japan approached the cargo ship more quickly. Lu Su knew that the sea ship carrying the cargo could not turn the rudder and escape in time. He could only arrange for less than 200 members of the Cao Gang on the cargo ship to enter a state of war.

A pirate ship in Japan stopped abruptly when it was 100 meters away from them. And another pirate ship crossed their cargo ship and directly attacked the building ship where Tai Shici was located.

Lu Su stared at the pirate ship 100 meters away without changing his face. There were about 400 masked Japanese pirates on the pirate ship. A woman with a black scarf sat on the command tower, and four fierce men knelt behind the graceful masked woman.

The pirate ship changed from movement to quiet, which surprised Lu Su. After a moment, the pirate ship not only did not launch an attack, but also heard the melodious sound of the guqin from the command tower...
