Long Zhantian frowned. Of course he didn't understand what the other party said. He turned his eyes to Lin Zhiyu, but Lin Zhiyu also shook his head to express his confusion.
Meng Tianxiong said: "The other party asked us to stop the boat in a hurry, so that we could survive."
Long Zhantian was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Tell this group of pirates that we, the Huben Guards Navy, should leave as soon as possible if you are interested, otherwise they will never come back."
Meng Tianxiong took a step forward. He pointed with one finger at the triangular dragon flag fluttering in the wind on the mast, and drew a counterclockwise semicircle in the air with his other hand. In this way, he told the pirates that this was the Ming Dynasty's ship, and asked others to turn around and leave quickly.
However, after Meng Tianxiong made these gestures, the pirates did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, they laughed wildly at the bow of the ship. The sea breeze blew their laughter to the "Happiness", making it appear so harsh.
The fact that they didn't take the "Huanxi" seriously at all made Long Zhantian's face look ugly. He ordered: "Then let the pirates have a taste of the power of the Franji."
"Report to the general, all the gunpowder and bombs have been thrown into the sea, and the Franco machine cannot be launched." A messenger soldier lowered his head and reported to Long Zhantian.
"You threw it away really cleanly." Long Zhantian glanced at Meng Tianxiong, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
At this time, the people on the pirate ship signaled towards the "Happiness" again, and Long Zhantian asked: "What are they talking about?"
Watch their actions. Meng Tianxiong's expression changed and he was stunned. They were actually looking for a woman. Could it be that the pirate was looking for the woman he had rescued not long ago?
"They are looking for a woman." When Meng Tianxiong said this, he was a little absent-minded.
Long Zhantian looked at Meng Tianxiong. His surprised expression clearly indicated that he wanted Meng Tianxiong to say it again, but he was not satisfied with this answer.
"They are looking for a woman. They asked to board the ship for a thorough search, otherwise they will destroy the "Huanxi"." Meng Tianxiong's expression returned to normal, and he reported the pirates' intentions to Commander Long in full.
There was a loud "boom" and a cannonball flew over from the pirate ship. It accurately landed on the side of the "Huanxi" ship, making a hole in the side of the ship, and the "Huanxi" was shaken from side to side.
The pirates couldn¡¯t help but cheer when they saw their cannonballs hitting their target. He made various moves towards the "Happiness". Obviously, the pirates used this shell to give the "Huanxi" a warning. If they did not do what they asked, they could easily sink the "Huanxi".
Seeing the unscrupulous pirates, Long Zhantian's face turned ugly. He suddenly turned around and said to Meng Tianxiong: "Why are pirates so rampant? It's because everyone is afraid of pirates. You commanded the 'Huanxi' to ram into the pirate ship." , let them have a taste of it.¡±
Meng Tianxiong understood that even if pirates attacked the "Huanxi", even if the "Huanxi" was sunk by pirates. It was impossible for Long Zhantian to let the pirates board the ship for search. Because there is a triangular dragon flag hanging on the "Huanxi", the "Huanxi" represents the Ming Empire. From the moment he was born, the honor and dignity of the country have become something that Long Zhantian must abide by. He has no other choice.
However, Meng Tianxiong has more to consider than him, because he is now the captain of the "Huanxi" and he must know all the situation of the "Huanxi". Although the "Happiness" was equipped with a Fran machine, it was unable to launch due to lack of gunpowder. As long as the pirate ship has enough gunpowder. They could easily sink the "Happiness".
The front end of the "Huanxi" is indeed equipped with a collision device made of ironwood. If it hits a sea-going ship at full speed, it is very likely to sink the other ship. However, the "Huanxi" was hit by a hurricane not long ago, and not only did it fall down The mast and the entire structure of the hull were also affected to a certain extent. At this moment, hitting the pirate ship with all its strength may indeed have a certain impact on the pirate ship, but the reaction force generated by the huge impact will also have an impact on the "Huanxi", and the "Huanxi" is likely to disintegrate and sink.
Long Zhantian¡¯s approach was a desperate move. Meng Tianxiong expressed his opposition with silence. He would not watch the "Huanxi", which had finally escaped from the hurricane, be destroyed because of his impulsiveness.
Long Zhantian looked at him, waiting for him to carry out his order. However, what he was waiting for was this sentence: "Commander Long, may I suggest letting the pirates board the ship?"
"What?" Long Zhantian suddenly opened his eyes, and there was murderous intent in his tone again, "Are you going to let the mighty Daming Navy surrender to these pirates? YouDon¡¯t you know that when the Ming Dynasty Navy went on a long sea voyage, it shouldered the responsibility of destroying pirates along the way? "
The atmosphere became tense again, and Meng Tianxiong knew very well that if he didn't express his thoughts quickly, Long Zhantian would kill him without hesitation.
Meng Tianxiong took a deep breath, and then analyzed: "Once the "Huanxi" rushes towards the pirate ship, the pirates will immediately launch an attack with artillery shells. Even if the "Huanxi" can successfully hit the pirate ship, according to the current condition of the hull Look, it will be us who suffer the consequences.¡±
"Even if the 'Huanxi' sinks, we must never surrender to the pirates." Long Zhantian's eyes were cold. He pulled out his knife and said, "Before the 'Huanxi' disappears, I must first deal with those who shake the morale of the military. "
"I have a way!" Facing the knife raised high, Meng Tianxiong couldn't help shouting loudly. He didn't want to die for no reason.
Long Zhantian slowly put down the knife. He stared at Meng Tianxiong and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Meng Tianxiong wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the pirate ship and said: "If we agree to the pirates going to the 'Huanxi' to search, they will definitely send a few small boats over, and the pirate ship will keep a distance where artillery attacks can be carried out, and wait for the pirates to come aboard. "We launched a surprise attack on the "Huanxi"."
"Luring the enemy deeper?" Long Zhantian looked at Meng Tianxiong in surprise, but he quickly shook his head again. "As long as we take action, the pirates can still attack us with artillery."
Meng Tianxiong continued: "At the same time as the pirate boat comes over, I will lead a few crew members with good water skills to quietly sneak under the pirate ship and cut through the bottom of their ship. Let the pirate ship sink."
This time, Long Zhantian nodded thoughtfully. Obviously Meng Tianxiong's plan was much better than using the "Huanxi" to ram the pirate ship. Being able to exchange minimal casualties for the greatest victory, he had no reason to disagree.
"Soldier, you are a cunning person. I didn't expect you to know how to fight." Long Zhantian couldn't help but admire. He pointed his finger at the crew member on the nail plate and said, "You can be whoever you want on the ship.".
Meng Tianxiong¡¯s eyes swept across the crew on the deck. He had to quickly identify the person who was most familiar with water. This was an extremely difficult task.
"I am willing to perform this task. Among all the soldiers, I have the best water resistance." I don't know when, Li Dongsheng has stood beside Long Zhantian.
Seeing that Long Zhantian had not spoken, Li Dongsheng asked again: "Please give me a chance to make meritorious service."
The pirate ship fired another cannonball. It whizzed across the sea level and landed on the deck impartially. A big hole was instantly smashed into the deck, and broken wood chips flew in front of Long Zhantian's eyes.
"Commander Long!" Seeing Long Zhantian's silence, Li Dongsheng couldn't help but raise his voice and begged.
Long Zhantian suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and his voice was suddenly full of emotion: "You should know what this mission means."
"Death." Li Dongsheng said these two words unambiguously. He added: "If I can do one thing for the 'Huanxi' before I die, can it be regarded as serving the country?"
"Brother." After Long Zhantian patted Li Dongsheng's shoulder hard, he suddenly turned around and said, "All actions must be obeyed by Master Meng Zhou. If you come back alive, let's forget the past."
"Yes, Commander Long." Li Dongsheng's voice was firm, and his eyes revealed a fanatical light.
The sea breeze blew the triangular dragon flag loudly, and fluttered underneath the dragon flag. A group of calm-looking soldiers and crew waited silently for the pirates to attack.
Meng Tianxiong tied the iron chisel with a dark light to his body. He turned around and said to Long Zhantian: "We will not allow the pirates to board the ship until the third shell falls, so that they will think that we are afraid." , the vigilance of pirates will be reduced.¡±
Long Zhantian was silent for a while. He looked at Meng Tianxiong and said, "I hope you come back alive. Maybe the 'Happiness' can't do without you."
Long Zhantian's words made him understand that as long as he could complete the mission, he would still be the captain of the "Huanxi", but his mood was not relaxed at all. He knew very well what his mission meant, and the possibility of survival was very slim. .
Meng Tianxiong just nodded slightly. He and Li Dongsheng turned around and walked to the other side of the "Huanxi" calmly. No one said a word, and their long backs were silently projected on the deck of the "Huanxi". .
This time the pirates aimed their guns at Long Zhantian, and the shells roared in. However, the cannonball did not hit the target accurately. Perhaps they were just giving a warning. The menacing cannonball landed at Long Zhantian's feet and smashed a hole in the deck, sending up pieces of wood.Long Zhantian's arm was scratched, and blood flowed from his hand drop by drop.
The soldiers surrounded Long Zhantian. They all looked frightened, fearing that the pirates' shells would hit their general next time.
However, Long Zhantian just glanced at the scars on his hands and said, "Send my order to allow pirates to board the ship and search."
A messenger stood at the stern of the ship waving the order flag. He passed Long Zhantian's order to the pirates behind. After they received the message from the "Huanxi", there was a sound of joy on the pirate ship as the wind blew to the "Huanxi" "On the ship, Long Zhantian's face couldn't help but darken. He couldn't help but touch the saber at his waist, his eyes filled with strong murderous intent.
After a while, more than a dozen small boats appeared on the sea, each with 6 people on board. Two of them were responsible for rocking the oars, and the other 4 should be on guard and ready for battle. However, judging from their relaxed expressions, They didn't take the "Happiness" seriously at all.
At this moment, Meng Tianxiong and Li Dongsheng had been making preparations to dive into the bottom of the sea. Meng Tianxiong observed through visual observation that the "Huanxi" and the pirate ship were more than 100 meters apart at this time. This means that after holding their breath, the two of them have to swim more than a hundred meters under the sea without being able to come to the surface to breathe. This is a great test for any of them.
Meng Tianxiong and Li Dongsheng looked at each other, and Meng Tianxiong said: "If we leave, neither of us may be able to come back."
Li Dongsheng looked at the surging sea and said: "I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid of dying in humiliation."
Meng Tianxiong smiled lightly and said, "Then, shall we set off?"
"Let's go!" Li Dongsheng nodded vigorously.
"You have to follow me closely." Meng Tianxiong added.
Then, after the two took a deep breath of air, they quietly dived into the sea and swam toward the pirate ship.
This is not only a difficult journey, but also a test of death.
The two of them spread their arms and tried their best to dive in the sea water. However, they only swam more than half the way, and a heavy feeling began to hit their chests as expected. Meng Tianxiong felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, and his limbs became more and more severe. It's getting heavier and heavier, and its stealth speed is getting slower and slower.
Several pirate boats passed over their heads, and the shadows on the bottom of the boats seemed to intensify his chest tightness.
Meng Tianxiong really wanted to jump out of the sea and lift the boat passing overhead. However, Meng Tianxiong suppressed this strong impulse. He reminded himself over and over again to stay calm.
The distance between him and the pirate ship is slowly getting shorter, but now every meter he advances requires more effort. Every time he moves his arms, his chest becomes heavier.
When he was about one-third of the distance from the pirate ship, Meng Tianxiong felt that he had almost reached the limit of his endurance. The huge pressure of the seawater made his chest tighter even more severe. The distance of more than one hundred meters has exceeded the limit of his diving. Meng Tianxiong is undergoing a severe test. Whether he faces survival or death completely depends on whether his will is strong enough and whether he can endure living in this place. The great pain of underwater itching.
For his own sake and for the sake of "Happiness", he must persevere. This is the only thought left in Meng Tianxiong's heart, and it is also the thought he must hold on to.
He looked back at Li Dongsheng who was following him. The distance between the two became wider. It was obvious that Li Dongsheng's situation was worse than him.
Meng Tianxiong slowed down his stealth movement slightly and could no longer widen the distance between the two. Otherwise, Li Dongsheng would probably surface because he lost hope. The pirates would immediately discover Li Dongsheng and this plan would completely fail.
Slowing down also meant that Meng Tianxiong would have to stay underwater for longer, and he would also endure greater pain. This was a huge pain that seemed like his chest was about to burst. He gritted his teeth and endured it silently.
Swim, keep swimming forward. Finally, Meng Tianxiong vaguely saw the keel of the pirate ship appearing in front of him. He and the pirate ship were very close.
Meng Tianxiong turned his head to look again, and he found that Li Dongsheng was rowing his arms slower and slower. He could hardly row anymore, and his body was gradually floating upward.
Meng Tianxiong was shocked. He immediately made a decision, turned around suddenly, gathered his scattered strength, and swam towards Li Dongsheng.
