Chapter 140 Meeting West Dog Island
Fang An interface went over and said, "There could have been more. The second brother and third brother and all the boats in my hand went. During this period, one ship was sent to repair, and the other ship was ordered to Guangdong. Lao Qi originally had five boats, but this time he was only willing to go. Eight years ago, a boat was destroyed by the mixed river dragon hand. There is only one boat left, so we can only take out so many boats at present!"
"Then it is reasonable that Zhang Da should have at least a few boats in his hands! Why didn't you go? Yu Xiaotian asked the bottom of the question.
Wang Hong couldn't help cursing, "Don't mention it! He has six boats in his hand, but two went to Quanzhou. Two of them said he would stay to see the house, and two of them said he would be sent to repair the boat. This is obvious that it is to let our brothers go desperately!"
Yu Xiaotian has nothing to say now. Zhang Hu obviously wants to consume the strength of his brothers. It is best to win. If he can't win, he will also lose his brother's ship. This shows that Zhang Hu is actually aware of the threat to his brother's status and wants to take advantage of this opportunity. It will weaken the strength of his brothers.
But he couldn't say such words. He could only be a little careful. In short, after listening to the words of Wang Hong and Fang An, he began to feel that it would not be too easy to go to Mazu to fight against Hun Jianglong this time.
From Treasure Island to West Dog Island, they did not delay any more on the way. Along the way, Yu Xiaotian kept asking Wang Hong and Fang An about the experience of fighting with people at sea.
Wang Hong and Fang An also regarded him as their own family and told Yu Xiaotian about some of the experience they knew. At the end of the day, Yu Xiaotian could be said to have benefited a lot from their words.
He has never participated in it before, or even seen any large-scale maritime conflicts. His only experience in dealing with people at sea is only a few times to hijack ships. Although he is very confident in the subordinates brought out this time, he still believes that he and his men are inexperienced in this regard, so Even if you grind the gun, it's better than not knowing it at all.
And Wang Hong and Fang An have participated in relatively large-scale maritime conflicts several times. They have not only fought with other pirate forces, but also with officers and sailors. The experience in this area is far stronger than himself. Yu Xiaotian will never be light on the idea that there must be my teacher for three people. It's easy to let go, and the questions I can get along the way are all raised to the two of them.
And Wang Hong and Fang An did not hide too much. Basically, they told Yu Xiaotian what they could say, which made Yu Xiaotian know more or less about some things to pay attention to when there are large-scale conflicts at sea.
From this point, Wang Hong and Fang An also saw Yu Xiaotian's shortcomings. They knew that Yu Xiaotian did not go to sea soon and did not go through such a thing, so they finally reminded Yu Xiaotian that once they got to Mazu and fight with Hun Jianglong, Yu Xiaotian must not leave them without authorization first. Instead, you must follow their fleet and never be alone, otherwise it is likely to become the target of the other party's siege.
Yu Xiaotian was deeply convinced of Wang Hong's explanation. Originally, this time he went to help Wang Hong and others, not to fight with the mixed river dragon. He could not kill the enemy's array alone and act as a leading soldier.
That's it. Yu Xiaotian walked all the way and learned all the way. One day and one night later, they finally arrived at Nishidog Island before the agreed time, that is, the afternoon after the first departure.
West Dog Island is located in the east of Fuzhou. It is an island of the White Dog Islands. It is only 20 to 30 miles away from the mouth of the Minjiang River. Not far to the east is East Dog Island. This is not the main channel, but there are a small number of fishermen living in this area, mainly engaged in fishing.
But this time, Xiwan Island was selected by Zhang Hu as an outpost gathering place to fight against the mixed river dragon, just because it is close to Matsu Island. After gathering here, they can quickly go to the area of Matsu Island to fight with the mixed river dragon.
Before Xiaotian followed Wang Hong and Fang An here, Qian Song, the second son of Zhang Hu, had brought some boats here in advance.
They gathered in a bay on the south bank of Xiwan Island. When Yu Xiaotian approached with a boat, he saw that six boats had been moored in the bay here.
Four of the boats belong to the Fuchuan type, some large and small, and the other two boats are similar to his Sea Wolf. They belong to the type of the bird boat. Flags are raised on each boat, four of which are red flags representing sharks, and the other two are green flags and one is a black flag.
In this way, it can be basically seen that the red flag must be the ships under Shark Zhang Hu, and the other two belong to pirates who come to fight with him.
So in order to show his identity, he also ordered people to raise their own sea wolf flag on the mast. Before they arrived at West Dog Island, a small boat drew them up and brought them into the bay.
There are no decent trestles and docks here. All ships can only be moored near the shore and rely on the small sampan that comes with the big ship.
At Wang Hong's greeting, Yu Xiaotian followed him to the beach and temporarily set up several tents here. Obviously, Qian Song regarded this place as a temporary headquarters.
When Yu Xiaotian came ashore with Wang Hong and Fang An, Qian Song greeted him in person. After greeting Wang Hong and others first, he immediately smiled at Xiaotian and said, "Brother Yu, let's meet again today!" Thank you for coming to help! After everyone arrives tonight, Qian must set up wine to treat my brother well!"
Yu Xiaotian also quickly hugged his fist and said, "Xiaotian has seen the second head of the family!" Since the second head and the third head have lives, how dare Yu not come? It's just that someone's strength is weak, and I hope the second head of the family won't dislike it!"
"Where! Friends can come! How can I, Qian, dislike it! Inside, please!" With that, Qian Song put Xiaotian into the account and ordered someone to send a bench to ask Yu Xiaotian to sit down and speak.
After Yu Xiaotian sat down, Wang Hong shouted in a rough voice, "Where is Lao Qi? Why didn't you see Lao Qi? Normally, he should have come here a long time ago!"
Qian Song took a look at Wang Hong and shook his head and said, "Lao Qi can't come! He sent Zhu Da to replace him!"
"Oh? Didn't you say it was agreed before you came? Laoqi wanted to bring the boat here in person, but why did he change to Zhu Da? What about Zhu Da?" Wang Hong quit as soon as he heard it and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.
"Three heads of the house! Here you are! Zhu Da, see the third head of the family!" A short black fat man heard Wang Hong shouting in the account and quickly walked in, bowed to Wang Hong with his fists.
Wang Hong stared and immediately shouted at the black fat man, "Where's Lao Qi? Why did you bring someone here?"
"Three heads of the family! Before our seventh master left, I felt cold and had a terrible headache. This time, I couldn't come, so I had to send the little one to come on his behalf! The seventh master specially ordered the little one to obey the second master, and I hope the third master will forgive me!" After hearing Wang Hong's question, Zhu Da did not act very arrogantly. He accompanied him with a smiling face and bowed his fist to reach again.
Wang Hong was very dissatisfied with his answer and was about to scold again, but Qian Song stopped him and said, "Enough! Lao Qi is in bad shape, it's okay if he doesn't come! This is not the time to say this, Zhu Da, go out and wait first!"
Zhu Da nodded and said, "Little one obeys! Three heads, the little one quit!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the tent, but Yu Xiaotian sat aside, but when he turned around, there was a slight disdain on his face.
Seeing such a scene, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help shaking his head secretly. This has come to this point, but Zhang Hu's men have not been able to fight together. Lao Qi, as Zhang Hu's cronies, can't say anything. It can be seen that this battle is really not easy to fight, so he is even less optimistic about the prospects of this battle.
At this time, a man with an arm hanging came in and said angrily, "Second brother! Seventh brother is too much! Brother, I suffered such a big loss, but this time he didn't even want to come. He only sent such a Zhu Da and brought a boat here! It's obvious that you don't take my hatred to heart!"
Qian Song shook his head and said, "That's all! Don't say more! Let Brother Yu see the joke! Come on, Ba, let me introduce you. This is Yu Xiaotian, the big head of the sea wolf that your third brother told you about! You also saw it. This time, Brother Yu heard the greeting and immediately brought the boat with your third brother and fifth brother!"
Yu Xiaotian quickly got up and hugged the old eight and said, "I'm Yu Xiaotian, I've seen the eight heads!"
Lao Ba could only hold his anger at this time, looked at Yu Xiaotian, nodded and said, "What a man! Third brother can't be wrong. That's good! At Mount Mafeng! Thank you for coming to help!"
After a few words of greeting, Wang Hong continued to ask, "We have all arrived. Liu Yidao, One-eyed Dragon, Li Beard, Ma Xiao... Why haven't we arrived yet?"
Qian Song replied, "I don't know. Wait a little longer. It's still early before the appointment. The people you and Lao Wu sent to call them here have not arrived. It will be clear whether they will come before dark!"
Yu Xiaotian has seen Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragon, but Li Dahu and Ma Xiao and others have only heard of it, but they have not seen it. They are also the leaders of small pirates on the sea in Fuzhou. This time, Zhang Hu sent someone to revenge against the mixed river dragon, and naturally it is inevitable to pull these people to help.
Yu Xiaotian saw that Qian Song and several people seemed to want to discuss things. It was obviously a little inconvenient for him to be an outsider here, so he excused to go out for a walk, got out of the account, and walked to the seaside and looked into the bay.
At this time, ten boats have been gathered in the bay of Nishi Dog Island, some of which are large and small. The largest boat should be Qian Song's boat, which is also a double-mausp lucky boat, but the length is about 40 to 50 meters, which is much bigger than his sea wolf. Generally, it is difficult for small pirates to have such a large number of pirates. Big boats, only people like Qian Song can make this kind of boat. Anyway, the strength of their shark gang is still good.
(Today, my friend Baishui Xiaoshen pointed out some loopholes in my book about ships. In the future, I hope my brothers will find problems and just bring them up! In addition, thank you for the reward of the iron-handed brother! Thank you very much!)
