Chapter 370 Mount Tai Overwhelms! (Two in One)
In the cabin.
Bai Xiaowen's body trembled suddenly: "Zhenwo is really cruel and abnormal, and it cannot be treated with common sense."
"What's wrong?"
"Arima Jiro, the butler Japanese pirate under Ye Mazi under my control...was beheaded by Matsuura Shinkuro," Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi was taken aback: "Did he see it through?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Matsuura Shinkuro's last order was to pursue. He should have believed Arimajiro's words. However, what Arimajiro said made him hate us so much, and Arimajiro's own incompetence, so In a fit of rage, Xin Jiulang killed him to vent his anger."
"This is too unreasonable. If you don't see it through, in the eyes of Matsuura Xinkuro, Arima Jiro should be regarded as a friendly soldier who just escaped from the enemy camp. How can you kill him as soon as you say it."
Bai Xiaowen breathed out: "Maybe it has something to do with cultural differences. Matsuura Xinkuro, a reckless man, killed people so recklessly, but it made my plan a little bit frustrated... I originally wanted Arima Jiro to sneak into Xin On Kuro's flagship, one can determine the position of the pursuers, but it can look for opportunities to destroy the enemy inside. Now that Majiro dies, we lose an internal response."
"What should I do?" Li Shuyi asked with some concern.
"It's just a small setback, and it doesn't affect the overall situation. When Matsuura Xinkuro went out to hunt me down, he was already doomed." Bai Xiaowen walked out of the cabin, looked at the rolling sea water, and slightly calculated the wind speed, current and boat speed , set the parameters, and calculated the time for the other party to catch up.
"Lead to Ningbo Mansion!" Bai Xiaowen suddenly ordered.
"Yes!" Zhang Ting, who was in charge of the command, shouted, "Thirty on the right rudder!"
The command of thirty to the right rudder was repeated by the helmsman, and the sound of creaking and creaking sounded, and the two warships adjusted their course slightly, cutting through the waves and sneaking on the blue sea.
This is also the reason why Bai Xiaowen wants to second the soldiers of the Ming army. He himself does not know how to handle this kind of Ming Dynasty warship. If he does not borrow soldiers, even if he has a boat, he can only stare blankly. Planning to kill the enemy chieftain?
With Zhang Ting as the captain, Bai Xiaowen only needs to say where he wants to go, and Zhang Ting will naturally direct the fleet to arrive.
"Bai Xiaoren, they have appeared!" Zhang Ting used a single-lens telescope, which is what the commander of the Ming army called "thousand miles" to look in the direction of Penghu Island, and warned at the same time.
"How many ships are there?"
"No less than ten ships, I'm afraid there are close to a thousand people!"
But Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Okay, I see...the two ships are side by side, and only the sailors who can drive the ship are left on the flagship, and everyone else goes to the second ship!"
"yes!"
Bai Xiaowen's order was efficiently executed by the soldiers. The Ming army sailors on his flagship all showed superb water warfare skills. They all jumped out of the hook and jumped onto the second warship.
On the flagship, only a dozen sailors were left to operate the ship, including three captains including Zhang Ting, Yuan Yuan and Zhou Zhan.
"My lord, I dare to ask, why did you send the sailors to the second ship? There is going to be a big battle, and the two ships should not be too disparate in numbers. Even if you need to adjust the personnel, your flagship should gather a large number of soldiers, Protecting the safety of the general is the top priority." Zhang Ting said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "No, this flagship will soon become the main battlefield for the decisive battle between me and the bandit leader, and I'm afraid it will inevitably be destroyed in the end. This is the pirate ship I captured from the Japanese pirate Chen Duyan. It would be a pity if it was damaged. The other ship , but I borrowed it from Governor Hu. If it sinks, Governor Hu may not look good. Anyway, in my final plan, only one boat is enough."
Zhang Ting seemed to understand, but still nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Xiaowen looked around at the remaining dozen or so soldiers of the Ming army on the flagship, and said, "There is no need to panic for those who are left behind, you can all survive. And I will not take any money for the credit for eradicating the real Japanese in this battle, I will share it with you.
Let you also gain a wife and son. "
Bai Xiaowen's reputation in the anti-Japanese Ming army has reached the level of reverence, and what he said is still very powerful in the ears of these Ming army soldiers. If another person said the same thing, they might not believe it, but what Bai Xiaowen said successfully stimulated their morale.
"My lord, Matsuura Xin Jiulang is catching up!" Zhang Ting said loudly.
Without looking a thousand miles away, Bai Xiaowen could already see Matsuura Shinkuro standing at the bow of the boat in the distance, and even feel the strong murderous look in the opponent's eyes.
"Zhang Ting, order the two boats to disperse left and right and move in a straight line," Bai Xiaowen said.
Although Zhang Ting didn't understand what it meant, he still complied and shouted the order to turn the rudder.
The two boats that were originally side by side, spread out from side to side like mandarin ducks that had been dismantled, and accelerated.
...
When Bai Xiaowen saw Matsuura Xinkuro, Matsuura Xinkuro naturally also saw him.
"Keep chasing, speed me up! After catching up with these pigs, I'll take off that damn Mingren's head with my own hands!" Matsuura Shinkuro shouted, adding in his heart that he wanted to take back his beloved knife!
"My lord, the opponent's two ships are separated! Which one should we chase?" asked the helmsman of the Japanese pirate flagship.
Matsuura Xinkuro narrowed his eyes: "This is... a gecko's tail-docking tactic? These bright people really thought they could escape. It's ridiculous."
But he was thinking in his heart, which boat would his favorite knife be on?
Logically speaking, the love knife should be on Bai Xiaowen's flagship.
However, will the other party cheat, hide his favorite knife in another boat, and disperse and escape, so as to use it as a bargaining chip to threaten him in the future?
"Our number is ten times that of the enemy's. They scattered and sailed, and we divided our troops to pursue them!" Matsuura Xinkuro sneered, "I took half of the boat to chase the leader of the opponent. Four assistants, tea assistants, you take the rest Disembark the fleet and chase the opponent's second ship! Be sure not to let them escape!"
Matsuura Shisuke said worriedly: "The number of enemies is so small, and they still divide their troops. It is suspicious everywhere. Mr. Xin Jiulang, I think we should leave other people alone and concentrate on chasing the leader of the opponent."
"Don't be so cowardly, Sizhu!" Matsuura Xinkuro was a little annoyed, "We have so many samurai, and the opponent only has one or two hundred people!"
There are thousands of real Japanese brought out by Matsuura Shinkuro this time, most of them are elite Japanese pirates who have seen bloody murders, and their strength is quite tyrannical. Even if the troops are divided, there are as many as 500 people on one side, which is definitely a crushing advantage against Ming people with only one or two hundred people.
"Okay. I can use Gao Tianyuan's divine power to speed up our fleet. Leader Xin Jiulang, stop them as soon as possible, and join them immediately after the quick battle!"
Matsuura Yoshisuke straightened his tall hat and waved his white paper fan. In the sky, dark clouds began to gather slowly, and wisps of cold wind blew.
The sails of a dozen or so Japanese boats seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and they became swollen, and the speed of the ships sailed significantly faster.
"good!"
Matsuura Xinkuro was overjoyed, and immediately waved his hand, ordering the two fast boats to make a detour to intercept Bai Xiaowen's flagship. He took the other three warships and chased after them.
The fleet of Bai Xiaowen and the Matsuura family originally formed a straight line, one in front of the other. But Bai Xiaowen ordered to disperse, and the two boats sailed one to the left and the other to the right, forming a right angle with the Matsuura family fleet in the shape of a "t".
At that moment, Matsuura Xinkuro bit the tail of Bai Xiaowen's flagship and continued to chase along the T-shaped straight line, while the two clippers followed the hypotenuse of a right triangle, detoured forward, and intercepted Bai Xiaowen's flagship.
As long as Bai Xiaowen's flagship can be delayed for a while, Matsuura Xinkuro will be able to catch up successfully in the follow-up, and he will be ashamed.
Matsuura Shinkuro's plan was very successful. He could see through the clairvoyance that Bai Xiaowen's flagship had been intercepted by two fast boats. The brave and fearless Japanese samurai had already started to ram the ship, and Bai Xiaowen's flagship had come to a standstill. !
Swish, Matsuura Xinkuro dropped Qianli Wang, and shouted in an excited tone: "Full speed ahead!"
After a short drive, the three ships of Matsuura Shinkuro finally caught up with Bai Xiaowen's flagship, and the collision between the ships almost made people unsteady. Immediately afterwards, heavy wooden boards were laid on them, and teams of Japanese warriors stepped on the boards and rushed towards Bai Xiaowen's flagship!
As for Matsuura Xinkuro, with almost boiling killing intent, he immediately activated the Ninjutsu skill, touched the handle of the "borrowed" replacement katana, and quietly boarded Bai Xiaowen's flagship, ready to Give Bai Xiaowen an unforgettable lesson!
However, just after the three ships collided with Bai Xiaowen's flagship, Bai Xiaowen, Zhang Ting and others who were fighting against the Japanese pirates ran along the side of the ship to the hold as if they had made an appointment in advance.
"This group of cowardly Ming people only know to run away when they see the situation is not good. Hmph, where can they escape above this sea?" Matsuura Xinkuro thought to himself.
"The leader! The leader's sword!" Someone exclaimed.
Matsuura Xinkuro, who was in a state of invisibility, heard the exclamation of the crowd, and when he looked up, he was almost mad. The family heirloom sword he loved like a treasure was actually nailed to the height of the mast, and the scabbard was unknown. tracked. If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find.
In order to be on the safe side, Matsuura Shinkuro did not show up, but commanded a Japanese pirate to climb up the mast and take off his treasured sword.
"The gang of Ming people occupied the bilge, and it is estimated that they are going to fight to the death." Matsuura Xinkuro was not there, but the voice echoed over the deck, with a somewhat ethereal feeling, and others could not determine his position through the voice. This is also the strength of the Ninja skill.
"Only by killing them can the honor of the Matsuura family's samurai be preserved! Why are you still standing there, go to the bottom cabin, smash their hatches, and pull out those humble rats!" Matsuura Shinkuro gave an order.
Teams of elite Japanese pirates howled and rushed to the bilge.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
There was a bang, followed by the vibration of the hull, followed by a thrilling explosion!
Bai Xiaowen's flagship fell apart almost immediately under the explosion of a huge amount of gunpowder. Then, a terrifying air wave blew away, and the elite Japanese pirates, including Xin Jiulang in the state of "forbearance", were blown away like pieces of paper.
Of course, this kind of explosion is fatal to ordinary people, but to these elite Japanese pirates, they will only suffer certain injuries. As for the senior leader Matsuura Shinkuro, he didn't even suffer much damage from explosions and impacts, but he just looked a little embarrassed.
"Gunpowder bombed the ship? Are those Ming people crazy?" Matsuura Xinkuro scolded. However, a bad feeling flashed in his heart, where did those bright people get the gunpowder? And it is a huge amount of gunpowder that instantly destroys a large ship!
Huge water ripples spread, and the surrounding pirate warships were pushed back by the huge waves, and they retreated more than ten feet.
After the hull exploded, Shinkuro Matsuura's state of tolerance dissipated and he fell into the water.
Crash!
An iron chain roared towards him. Obviously, this iron chain had been prepared for a long time, and it hit Matsuura Shinkuro with incomparable precision, causing a certain amount of penetrating damage to him.
It's Fat Stitch.
The meat hook skill is activated, and after hitting the target, it will drag the target back, but the premise is to pass the power judgment.
Although Matsuura Shinkuro is an agile boss, his strength is still higher than that of the stitch monster Fat Boy. He sneered, grabbed the chain with one hand, and pulled back with force, like a tug-of-war, abruptly pulling the fat boy's huge body at the other end!
Hula!
Fat Boy's fat body drew a parabola in the air.
However, Matsuura Xinkuro missed one point, that is, he was in the water at this time, and his movements, especially his steps, were not as flexible as those on land.
Originally, he planned to pull the stitch monster over, take a step back to get out of the way, and then complete the instant kill with a domineering sword drawing technique.
But in the water, Matsuura Xinkuro did not stagger his position in his habitual retreat, but only swam backward less than half a foot.
The huge buttocks of the Stitching Monster Fat Boy sat down like a millstone.
Boom, Mount Tai is overwhelming!
Fat Boy splashed a huge splash of water, smashing Matsuura Shinkuro into the water, which reached a depth of ten feet in an instant! Afterwards, Fat Boy's thick arms tightly hugged Matsuura Shinkuro, and one person and one monster sank down at the same time.
Matsuura Shinkuro tried hard to break free, but Fat Boy not only had his arms around him, but the chains wrapped around his body were also tightly bound all the time. After struggling, he found that the fat man in front of him was not as weak as he appeared on the surface, his strength value was quite high, and he couldn't break free for a while.
"Just now, this monster flew over as soon as I dragged it. Could it be a fraud?" Matsuura Xinkuro had a bad premonition in his heart.
That's exactly the truth. In the tug-of-war just now, it seemed that Fat Boy tried his best to drag Matsuura Xinkuro over. In fact, Bai Xiaowen knew that this was impossible, so when Matsuura Xinkuro pulled hard, Fatty Zai simply relaxed his strength, and was dragged away smoothly.
Senior leaders can hold their breath underwater for a short period of time, and it is no problem to last ten minutes. And a pirate boss like Matsuura Shinkuro can hold his breath for more than 20 minutes, so he didn't panic, kicking the water continuously with his legs, trying to float to the surface.
