Chapter 180 Night Attack

There is a watch bucket on the mast of each ship. This watch bucket is very small. Because it is at the highest point, it shakes the most. The personnel can only hold the mast and keep looking around. In winter, it is definitely a hard job. In summer, it is not much better. It is sunny on it. The sky will be exposed to the sun, and rainy days will be hit by wind and rain.

But tonight, I was on duty on the mast, but it was still relatively comfortable. The wind on the sea was not strong, and the moonlight was also good. I sat in the watch, blowing the sea breeze, which was relatively cool. At least it was much more comfortable than in the sultry cabin, so the night shift was still very comfortable on the top of the mast. At least it's cool.

In the watchtower of a small flying-sized fast boat, there sat a thin monkey-like lookout. While blowing the sea breeze, he calculated the time. At this time, there was only one and a half hours left before dawn. Half an hour later, the next shift will take over.

He is a little sleepy at this moment, but he does not dare to be lazy for a while, because as a lookout, he knows his duty very well. It is very dangerous to sail at sea at night, and the sea in this area itself belongs to the enemy area, and unexpected situations may occur at any time.

In addition, there are many friendly ships on the sea, which are also cruising at sea. As a lookout, he must pay attention to the situation on the sea at any time and find the ships and abnormal lights on the sea in time.

Otherwise, once he does not give down and let the ship crash, as a watchman on duty, he will bear a great responsibility. Often the lightest punishment is to be sent to the labor camp to serve hard labor for two to three years. Whether he can live in the labor camp is unknown. If a serious accident is caused He may even be hanged directly.

As a naval soldier of the family army, it is a great shame for anyone to be driven to a hard labor camp or hanged for making mistakes. It is that the family army is a soldier and is well-paid. Officials never deduct salaries. Whether they eat well, their families will be honored. Once they are seen by the above and become officers, That's a very face-to-face thing for their families. Even when they walk in the village, they will unconsciously put their heads too high and straighten their chests up.

Therefore, these soldiers of Yujiajun still attach great importance to their sense of honor. Few people leave their posts without permission, resulting in punishment. At most, they are punished a few boards. People who really neglect their duties often can't stay on the ship at all, and will soon be eliminated by other members on the ship.

If you are expelled from your army and army and rushed home to farm because you are not qualified, it will be a shame. Even if you are sent home to farm, no one will look at them in the whole village. I'm afraid that if there is anything good in the village in the future, it has nothing to do with their family. They, including their families, can't lift their heads in the village.

So no matter how sleepy he is, this lookout does not dare to be lazy at this moment, but it is close to the early morning, which is also the most sleepy time for people. Although he is energetic, he still feels that his eyelids are very heavy, and his upper and lower eyelids always want to stick together, so he energetic and took out a dry pepper from his arms. This thing bites in the mouth, which is hot and hot, and the inside of the mouth seems to be on fire, which is really vigorous.

So he took a bite. Even if it was spicy and only stuck out his tongue, now this thing has become their magic weapon to refresh themselves at night. After taking a bite, his mouth is so hot that he can't sleep even if he wants to sleep.

He took a deep breath and felt much more energetic, so he took a telescope from the side and slowly patrolled the sea again by the moonlight.

When he swept the telescope lens across the southeast sea, he suddenly stopped and quickly swing the lens back at some angles. Just now, he seemed to see some faint light spots in the lens, but it did not attract his attention at first, but when the lens swept, he still felt It was necessary to look at it again, so I adjusted the lens of the telescope back and forth, trying to see more clearly.

After slightly adjusting the lens, the scene of the sea in the distance seems to be clearer. Although the back and scene are black at night, many firefly-like light spots clearly appear in this black cloth-like back and scene.

He didn't believe his eyes. He quickly put down the telescope and rubbed his eyes hard. Now he is in the enemy-occupied area. If he reports a false alarm, he will definitely be punished, so he must see it clearly.

After rubbing his eyes, he quickly raised his telescope again, pointed the lens at the position just now, and observed it carefully.

After a while, he suddenly put down his binoculars, lying on the edge of the bucket, and shouted at the lower deck: "There are a large number of ships appearing three miles away from the port side, which is judged to be an enemy attack!" Issue an alarm rocket!"

He shouted, and then knocked on a gong hanging next to him. His cry and the sound of gong suddenly shocked everyone on the boat.

Just now, there were some sleepy sailors, all of whom were smart. Immediately someone rushed to the captain to call the police. When the captain heard the sound, he had rushed out of the cabin. After arriving at the stern, he immediately raised his telescope and looked in the direction indicated by the watchman. Sure enough, on the sea, he also found the starlighting lights. Light, so he shouted harshly, "Send three red rockets! Hurry up! The whole ship is ready for battle! Everyone on the deck!"

In a short time, three dazzling red rockets rose one after another from the deck of the ship. After flying high, they exploded into three dazzling red balls of light in the air.

The watchmen of all the ships in the anchorage immediately saw the three rockets soaring in the distance. Immediately, each ship sounded the alarm bell, and the rapid alarm sounded. The captain of each ship and the sailors on the ship were awakened, quickly put on their clothes and rushed to their respective positions.

In the sea wolf navy, the system is strict, and everyone has a fixed position. Even if they hear the alarm, they are not allowed to rush to the deck disorderly. Instead, they must first gather at their respective positions and wait for the captain's order.

The captain needs to rush to the stern at the first time to determine the situation, and issue orders according to the situation. Only the daggers and sting hands on the deck can board the deck after hearing the police and rush to their designated position.

So although the alarm sounded through the night sky, there was no chaos except for the necessary personnel to run back and forth on the deck to their respective positions.

Yu Xiaotian was also awakened at the first time on his handsome ship. He immediately put on his clothes and rushed to the deck, boarded the stern tower, inquired about the situation, and learned that a sentry ship fired an alarm rocket in the southeast of the fleet, so he immediately judged that there should be a large number of enemy ships facing the sea from the southeast. They came to anchor.

So he immediately ordered: "Order the fleet to raise their anchors and sails and prepare for the battle!" ......”

When three rockets with dazzling red light suddenly rose from the sky, the pirates on the fireboats approaching the anchorage suddenly became chaotic as if they had been stabbed by a hornet's nest.

Because they are not fools, when three rockets suddenly rose in front of them must mean that they have been discovered by the enemy in advance.

They really don't understand why the enemy can find their whereabouts so far away at night, but one undeniable thing is that their whereabouts have been completely exposed, and the next sneak attack has become meaningless.

Several leaders in charge of the team gritted their teeth and ordered the light balls on the ship to be raised. On several leading boats, a string of red lanterns were immediately hung to show their identity.

According to their agreement, once this kind of lantern is hung, it means starting to launch an attack. Nowadays, no one knows how many ships are left, but looking at the surrounding sea, with the help of moonlight, you can see a lot of boat shadows on the dark sea.

As soon as the pirates on these ships saw such red lanterns hanging on several ships, they all began to raise their sails, adjusted their sails to the wind, and began to accelerate.

There were probably more than 100 fireboats. At this time, they raised their sails and accelerated towards the place where the rocket was raised. At this time, the sea also began to appear in the distance, and swaying lights quickly appeared.

These lights are the small sentry ships cruising outside the anchorage on the sea. After hearing the alarm, some of the ships immediately rushed this way, but not all of them.

Because when the one-eyed dragon arranged night patrol, it was ordered to give them. Once they found the enemy attack, some of their ships were required to gather towards the scene of the accident, and the rest of the ships would continue to cruise to avoid being transferred away from the mountain, and take the opportunity for other enemy ships to cross their warning line and attack them. The anchorage.

So these ships are only part of the patrol boats. After hearing the alarm, they gathered towards this side, and the number is about ten.

The ship that ran in the front was the ship that sent the alarm. They were closest to the pirate's fire fleet, so the first one rushed over. The number of ships that were not afraid of the other party was 100 times more than them.

The sentry quickly grabbed the wind on the sea, raised the speed to the extreme at present, and then rushed across the front of the pirate fire fleet.

(First of all, I would like to thank the desert laughing spring breeze brothers for their reward. In addition, I would like to formally apologize to the desert laughing spring breeze brothers. I have always regarded your name as the desert laughing west wind, which is really blind! I'm really sorry! I hereby make a formal apology to the Spring Breeze Brothers in the desert, and I will never make trouble again!)
