- Death was right in front of him. Meng Tianxiong raised a smile, but he soon discovered that he had been complacent too early and had made a fatal mistake.
After the pirate saw that Meng Tianxiong had dodged his attack, he actually gave up his spear and freed his hands to firmly grasp Meng Tianxiong's spear. Then with a strong tug, Meng Tianxiong's body suddenly lost his balance, and he was pulled over by the pirate.
Meng Tianxiong finally realized the danger. He caught a glimpse of another pirate who was already ready. He didn't even have time to let go. Another pirate delivered his fatal blow, and saw his spear draw a water line in the water, quickly running toward Meng Tianxiong's chest.
In addition to the shimmering spear getting closer and closer, Meng Tianxiong also saw the pirate's hideous smile. This was the end of his life.
Life and death were in an instant. A figure swam over hard and blocked the assassination route with his own body.
Blood spurted out, and the sea water turned bright red, which fascinated Meng Tianxiong's eyes. He couldn't believe what he saw.
This rude officer had whipped him severely and sunk him into the sea three times. Stand up for him at his most dangerous moment and block the fatal spear attack for him.
The red color of the sea water is getting thicker and thicker. In the silent sea water, Meng Tianxiong's face is filled with grief and anger.
The spear did not hit Meng Tianxiong, but his body was pulled by another pirate. He was getting closer and closer to the pirate. When the pirate's twisted face appeared in his eyes, he suddenly let go of the spear. With his right hand, he pulled out the feather arrow stuck in his shoulder and stabbed it towards the pirate's neck. Blood splattered, and the pirate slowly sank to the bottom of the sea with his big frightened eyes open.
The pain of muscle tearing. Meng Tianxiong almost fainted. But he didn't care about his pain at all, and swam towards Li Dongsheng with all his strength, trying his best to pull Li Dongsheng out of the sea.
The fresh air finally allowed Li Dongsheng to catch his breath. His face was ashen and he was breathing heavily. Meng Tianxiong's condition is also very bad, and the pain from the wound is nothing. What's even more frightening is that he can hardly muster any strength.
A few meters away, two pirates were floating on the water. They were breathing heavily and staring at them fiercely. It seemed that they were also exhausted.
Meng Tianxiong discovered that the draft of the pirate ship was much deeper than before. It was obvious that a lot of water had been filled into the bottom of the pirate ship. And as the water in the hold gets deeper and deeper, it becomes increasingly difficult for the pirates to block these three holes.
¡°I¡¯ll stop them, and you quickly pry open the fourth hole.¡± Li Dongsheng gasped.
"Are you okay?" Meng Tianxiong looked at Li Dongsheng, whose face was getting greener and greener, and couldn't help but feel worried, "I should deal with the pirates, and you can pry open the hole."
"Fighting is the meaning of a soldier, and dying in battle is the honor of a soldier." After Li Dongsheng said this, before Meng Tianxiong could say anything else, he swam towards the pirates.
Looking at Li Dongsheng¡¯s clumsy actions, Meng Tianxiong knew very well that Li Dongsheng might never come back from this attack. He gritted his teeth and dived into the water again. The bottom of the ship is his battlefield, where his honor and dignity are also held.
The two pirates once again dived into the water with spears to kill them. The two swam in different directions. Li Dongsheng went to stop the pirates, while Meng Tianxiong swam to the bottom of the boat.
The chisel was still inserted into the crack under the boat. Meng Tianxiong held the chisel with both hands, stepped on the bilge with his feet, and used all his strength to pry the crack, but the crack did not move at all and showed no signs of expansion. The first three holes can be successfully pried open. That's because it's the power of two people.
But now Meng Tianxiong is alone, and all his strength has been almost exhausted.
Opening the fourth hole is the key to making the pirate ship sink. Meng Tianxiong was extremely anxious. He understood that the "Huanxi" would never be able to hold on for much longer after such a fierce attack by the pirates. Li Dongsheng, who was covered in injuries, couldn't hold on for much longer. He had to be fast. Meng Tianxiong gritted his teeth and exerted force again. The crack expanded a little, but it was still not completely pried open.
At this moment, a pirate bypassed Li Dongsheng's obstruction and stabbed Meng Tianxiong directly with his spear. This time, his speed was very fast. Meng Tianxiong was shocked and quickly turned his head, and stabbed his eyes with the spear, and happened to penetrate the crack.
The pirate had no choice but to pull out the spear with all his strength, but the spear was stuck inside and could not be pulled out for a while.
Meng Tianxiong was overjoyed. This spear was like another chisel stuck in the crack. Meng Tianxiong ignored the pirate. He quickly inserted the chisel into the other end of the crack, and then stepped on it with his feet again. Bottom of the boat.
There was a crisp sound of "click", the crack turned into a hole, and seawater poured into the cabin continuously.
When the pirate saw that his spear, which he intended to kill Meng Tianxiong, actually helped him, he swam over extremely angrily. He hugged Meng Tianxiong tightly with both hands, and he attempted to die together with Meng Tianxiong.
Meng Tianxiong¡¯s body gradually sank, and his chest became more and more stuffy, but he had no strength to resist. Even though he still held a chisel in his hand, he did not have any strength to raise the chisel to attack the pirate holding him.
In a daze, Meng Tianxiong saw the pirate ship sinking bit by bit, and a sad smile appeared on the corner of Meng Tianxiong's mouth.
Meng Tianxiong struggled for a while, but was still unable to stop his body from sinking with the pirates. He knew that he would definitely die this time.
In a blur, he seemed to see a burst of blood rising above his head, and then a burly figure swam towards him. Meng Tianxiong closed his eyes. He was born in the sea and died in the sea. This was his fate and he would not complain.
On the deck of the "Happiness", numerous corpses were lying on the ground, and a strong smell of blood floated in the air.
Long Zhantian's eyes released a fierce murderous aura. He and his soldiers were still engaged in a life-and-death battle, even though the pirates had forced the soldiers and crew members on the "Happiness" to the stern of the ship.
Although the pirates have completely occupied the dominant position. But they didn't dare to act rashly. Long Zhantian had killed more than 20 pirates by himself. The black armor was almost stained red with his own blood and the blood of the pirates.
The pirates have never seen an enemy like Long Zhantian. You can easily kill a person with just one move of your hand.
Lin Jinjia and Wei Dong also held blood-stained knives tightly in their hands. Their eyes no longer had the panic when the pirates had just boarded the ship, but instead had a determination to look forward to death.
The setting sun in the west dyed the clouds on the horizon red, and the sea water seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood.
Opposite the "Happiness", the pirate ship is gradually tilting. Then it slowly sank, and the gun ports on the ship were submerged by the sea water.
"Boom -" there was a dull cannon sound, and a shell actually rushed out from the bottom of the water.
Because the hull had tilted, the shell could only fly up into the sky diagonally. Finally, it landed on a small boat under the "Happiness". The boat was hit in two by cannonballs, and a pirate guarding the boat also turned over and fell into the sea.
Long Zhantian couldn't restrain his smile and looked up to the sky laughing. When the pirates saw Long Zhantian, who was already in desperate situation, suddenly burst into hearty laughter, a look of fear appeared on his face.
"Brothers, kill hard!" Long Zhantian suddenly pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, the soldiers gained great courage. They followed Long Zhantian and rushed towards the pirates. Everyone's eyes were shining with hope, and the pirates were shocked by their sudden burst of courage.
Long Zhantian took a few steps forward. After a sword pierced the heart of a pirate in the front row, the sword edge passed the neck of another pirate. The two pirates were killed instantly by Long Zhantian's sword.
During the melee, several pirates finally discovered that their ship was sinking, and they shouted one after another. Soon, the pirates who were in a dominant position on the deck began to panic. They ignored the enemies in front of them and retreated to the side of the ship. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers and crew on the ship launched a counterattack against the pirates.
It didn¡¯t take long for the pirates to jump into the sea. While Long Zhantian ordered the crew to sail towards the pirate ship, he also ordered the soldiers to fire arrows at the pirates who climbed onto the boat and were about to escape. Unfortunately, the number of arrows was too small and they failed to hit a few pirates. The pirate ship was sinking slowly, and the pirates swung their oars desperately to escape.
When the "Happiness" sailed to the sinking position of the pirate ship, Long Zhantian stood on the bow of the ship and looked around at the sea. At this time, the sea was almost calm except for a few wooden barrels floating with goods. It seemed that it had just swallowed a huge pirate ship, which was just an illusion he saw.
Meng Tianxiong and Li Dongsheng were found on the sea. Long Zhantian raised his head and let out a long cry of pain. The people on the "Huanxi" looked at his burly and arrogant back in bewilderment.
The wind blew across Long Zhantian's face, making him feel a bit cold, but a bitterness surged in his heart. For the pride and honor of Ming Dynasty, he advocated this battle with the pirates. Although it seemed that they won, the result was so tragic.
"There are two people floating on the sea." Sun De's voice full of surprise suddenly sounded, "They are Commander Li and Division Meng Zhou."
"Hurry up and get them."?Come up. "Long Zhantian ordered loudly. He looked intently at the two people floating on the sea. At this time, Li Dongsheng was sandwiching Meng Tianxiong.
Several lightly injured soldiers jumped out immediately, took over the rope thrown from the boat, held up the unconscious Meng Tianxiong, tied ropes to his hands and feet, and pulled him up first. Li Dongsheng also tied the rope with the help of several soldiers and was hoisted onto the ship.
Long Zhantian watched the two people being hoisted up one after another, and a smile finally appeared on his stern face.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the cabin from a hole penetrated by a shell, and fell on Meng Tianxiong's face. He looked a little scary, his face was as pale as a piece of paper and deeply sunken, and his lips had lost their original rosy color and turned almost purple-black.
Li Dongsheng leaned his head against the ship wall and slept with his eyes closed. His body swayed gently with the ship. When he was about to slide off the ship wall, he suddenly adjusted his posture to maintain the original position. state.
When Wei Dong came in, Li Dongsheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked warily in the direction of the cabin door. His body was filled with strength in an instant and he could jump up at any time.
When Wei Dong saw the cloth cover that Li Dongsheng was supposed to be wearing on his mouth thrown to the ground, he said dissatisfiedly: "How many times have I told you, you must wear the cloth cover if you want to take care of Master Meng Zhou here."
Li Dongsheng glared and said, "I've already suffocated enough in the water, and you want me to wear this thing to make myself suffocate?"
"Then I can only ask you to go out." Not only was Wei Dong not intimidated by his fierce look, but he issued an expulsion order for him.
"You dare!" Li Dongsheng raised his voice unconsciously.
Wei Dong sneered and said, "I am the only doctor on the ship. Do you think I dare to do this?"
Li Dongsheng looked at him, then picked up the cloth cover very unhappily, and said while putting it on his head: "Besides these inexplicable tricks, you actually cured the whole boat of people lying down."
Wei Dong walked to Meng Tianxiong's bed and said while inspecting it: "Without this cloth cover, you would have been lying dead like everyone else."
"You are just a quack doctor. You don't know how to treat any disease." After putting on the cloth mask, Li Dongsheng spoke a little unclearly, and then he also came to Meng Tianxiong's bed. "I really don't understand what Commander Long thinks about choosing you." Ship as medical officer.¡±
Wei Dong ignored him. After carefully examining Meng Tianxiong, he said, "If he persists for one more day, he will be saved tomorrow."
"Why wait until tomorrow?" Li Dongsheng asked.
"The Huanxi" can dock tomorrow, and I can treat him if I find medicine on the shore. "Wei Dong said.
"What if we can't reach the shore tomorrow or can't find medicine?" Li Dongsheng looked at him.
"Then there's nothing I can do." Wei Dong sighed.
¡°It¡¯s better to rely on yourself to save people while you¡¯re a quack doctor.¡± Li Dongsheng angrily pulled off the cloth cover and ran out of the cabin.
Li Dongsheng ran to the deck and said: "Most of our brothers on the ship have fallen down, and they are almost dying. Mr. Wei said that we only have one day to save their lives. Our sails are broken, and the ship Just like ants crawling forward, we must take turns rowing for those fallen brothers to buy time.¡±
¡°Take turns rowing and buy time. Take turns rowing and buy time.¡±
Wei Dong knew that there were not many people who could continue to work on the ship, but these bursts of voices were loud and clear.
The setting sun has almost completely sunk, leaving a dark red color above the sea. The "Happiness" sailed forward slowly with several tattered sails spread out by the breeze.
On the bow of the ship, Long Zhantian and Lin Jinjia were studying a navigation chart. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, dyeing their bodies red.
Several islands loomed in the twilight. Lin Jinjia pointed ahead: "According to the navigation chart I copied from the "Military Bei Zhi", the front should be Mount Longya on Java Island. It is an excellent port, 'Happiness' The ship will be anchored there." (To be continued. Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work. - Didn't finish reading?
