Eight hundred and fortieth chapters: agitation (6)

"Everyone enters the combat security!" Pan Motang, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, had just changed into dry clothes. At this moment, he was drinking a bowl of steaming ginger tea happily, preparing to sweat, and pushing out the cold that had just invaded his body. Hearing Ruan Er's roar, he stood up, raised his hand, threw the bowl in his hand into the sea, and said sternly.

"Sailors are in place!"

"Start the sail!"

Ruan Er stood above his tall head and waved the signal flag in his hand vigorously. In his eyes, hundreds of warships raised their main sails and sub-sails, and a snow-white patch covered the sea in an instant. The scene was extremely spectacular.

"Set!" Pan Motang had already put on armor with the help of his personal soldiers.

"The warriors are in place!"

Teams of war soldiers rushed out from each other of the warships and began to be busy on the ships silently. In order to resist the storm, all the weapons that could be disassembled on the deck were removed and put into the inner cabin. At this moment, they needed to be reassembled in the shortest time. Some of the fixed weapons such as pole pads had to be put into combat again. Stone bullets were lifted out, and powerful crossbows were quickly reinstalled everywhere on the deck. Crates of powerful crossbows were placed aside, tearing open the oil paper packaging, revealing a faint blue light.

"Go forward at full speed!" A bright light flashed through the air of Pan Motang's iron hook and pointed straight ahead.

Waves suddenly began to surging on both sides of the Dingyuan ship, and the oars slowly turned, getting faster and faster. Under the dual effects of sails and oars, the battleship cut through the waves and waves, and moved forward.

In front of them, there was indeed a huge fleet of the Lingnan Navy. Under the leadership of Zeng Shou, they came all the way to Liangzhe, but their luck was very weak. This big storm not only patronized Pan Motang, but they naturally failed to escape.

And their warships were much worse than those of the Tang Navy.

Except for Zeng Shou's own ship, which was a new type of warship just built by the Lingnan Shipyard, all other naval warships, including the ships of southern Fujian pirates that Zeng Shou had just collected, were basically transformed from merchant ships. The ability to fight this level of wind and waves is much worse than that of serious warships.

The warships had four or five hundred materials, and the small ones had only more than a hundred materials, which was different. Zeng Shou's skills were not bad, otherwise he would not have become the second leader second only to Pan Motang. Like Pan Motang, he also sensed this big storm in advance and issued orders to prepare in advance. But the problem is that, except for the Lingnan Navy, the other pirates who had just joined were not tamed very much.

When the storm broke out, Zeng Shou found that he had underestimated his horror.

The fleet of more than 300 ships completely lost contact with each other in the storm, and could only fight on their own and welcome the baptism of the storm.

The ending is very painful.

The seemingly solid warships are vulnerable in front of the storm, and the lack of connection and communication between ships makes them even collided with each other during the battle with the storm.

There are also many pirates in southern Fujian who intend to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Zeng Shou's control and want to drive away from the ship. Anyway, everyone is not concerned about themselves at this time. If they can escape far away, the vast sea may not necessarily meet each other again.

When the storm was curled and the sea returned to peace, Zeng Shou's fleet of more than 300 warships actually lost one-third. Looking at the sea, there were broken boat boards, scarred bodies, and half-floating and half-sinking sails floating everywhere. Of course, there were sailors who survived by chance and barely floated on the water with the boards on their backs to call for help.

A storm caused the fleet to lose one-third, and Zeng Shou was really a little crying.

It was also at this moment that his whereabouts were discovered by Ruan Er on the Dingyuan.

Unfortunately, Zeng Shou does not have long-distance tools such as monoculars, so he cannot find enemies in the distance above this distance.

When Pan Motang came in a fierce manner, his entire fleet was floating on the vast sea one by one and one by one.

Too tired, everyone just wants to have a good sleep.

So, when they found white sails emerging from the sea level, they jumped up in horror, but found that it was too late.

With the help of wind and manpower, Pan Motang's fleet almost crossed the galloping horses at the sea, shaking waves and coming with murderous intent.

The only reaction of the Lingnan Navy was to raise sails and prepare for battle.

Of course, they are fighting each other.

At this moment, they had no time to reorganize the warship formation. Even if they were by Zeng Shou's flagship, they would only follow twenty warships.

The three large warships of Dingyuan, Fuyuan and Zhenyuan were the arrows of charge, and more than a hundred warships of the Tang army rushed over unstoppably. Faster than them were the stone bombs and powerful crossbows fired on the ship.

At this moment, the Tang army's warships were still only one-half of the Lingnan Navy.

However, these more than a hundred warships were embraced into a group and formed a powerful fist. Although there were many warships in the Lingnan Navy, they were scattered and invisible.

Although there were few warships in the Tang army, they were in a unified form. They were all specially built for combat. Each of his designs was to have a greater chance of surviving on the battlefield and killing the enemy to a greater extent. And the Lingnan Navy, more than 90% of the ships were transformed from merchant ships. Compared with the Tang army's warships, they were not above the same level.

It's like a professional boxer meeting a wild player. Even if a wild player is determined to fight to the death, he will be defeated as soon as he comes into contact with him.

After only half an hour of fighting, Zeng Shou decided to escape.

After being a pirate who has been a pirate for many years, he was once a general trained by Pan Motang. He still had this vision and ran away if he couldn't beat it. Therefore, when Zeng Shou found that he could never reverse the situation, he immediately issued an order to break through to all the ships, then turned the bow of the ship and took dozens of warships gathered around him and ran wildly.

This person does have the ability, and the routes he chose are exactly avoiding the areas where the Tang army focused on attacking.

However, Pan Motang did not let him go, leaving two squadrons to continue to beat up the Lingnan warships that fled everywhere. However, he himself led the squadron led by the Dingyuan and bit Zeng Shou's fleet and chased him reluctantly.

This pursuit and escape will not end in a short while.

Pan Motang now hates Zeng Shou and other guys who were in the past. When they parted ways, Pan Motang might not feel any guilt towards them, thinking that he had left these old guys behind. So when Pan Motang became rich, these guys were asking for food and doing some illegal activities on his territory, he turned a blind eye. As long as it was not too much, it would be fine.

But they ran to Lingnan to go to Xiangxun, which clearly showed that they were enemies of themselves.

I have explained this to them clearly through Fan Chang, but they still chose this path. So, don’t blame yourself for being ruthless.

Pan Motang felt that as long as these people existed for a day, their faces would hurt a lot. If they didn't clean up, their faces would not be lifted up in front of the Tang Dynasty colleagues.

In my life, I actually trained a group of opponents who were enemies with me. How could this be felt!

He knew the abilities of Zeng Shou and his group. He didn't say that he had completely obtained his true teachings, but he always learned them for seven or eight years. Now they are all in all. If they also have a fleet that is exactly the same as theirs now, then the outcome of the future maritime competition will be difficult to say. Besides, he is old, but Zeng Shou and his group are in their prime! Marine combat is not as good as land generals, and experience is really much more important than courage.

When he is sick and wants his life, he must cut off the danger in the bud while they are still weak.

With this in mind, Pan Motang handed over the command of the battlefield to Captain Fuyuan through the signal, and then led his squadron to chase him all the way.

This pursuit took two full days.

One after another, warships fell behind and were surrounded by Tang army navy. Pan Motang's handling of these fallen ships was extremely rough, that was, killing all the people on the ship and letting these ships float on the sea. If he could still find these ships when he came back, it would naturally become his spoils. If he could not find them, it wouldn't matter.

The next day, the Lingnan Navy's warship suddenly understood a truth. The Tang army was chasing Zeng Shou. Someone tried to change the course and stayed away from Zeng Shou's fleet, but unexpectedly discovered that the Tang army ignored them at all, which made them overjoyed and flew away immediately.

With the first lucky one, the second and third ones appeared one after another.

Pan Motang turned a blind eye.

His target is Zeng Shou.

Of course, there were also Zeng Shou who followed him, that was the group of friends who had Zeng Shou gone. They knew very well that Pan Motang would not let them go.

Zeng Shou decided to turn back and fight.

The Tang army's warships have better performance than theirs. If they escape like this, there will be no way out. They will always be caught up by Pan Motang. There are few people who are bitten by iron hooks on the sea. Zeng Shou does not think he will be an exception. More importantly, if Pan Motang only takes away his own life, it may not take long before these friends who follow him will abandon him. At that time, it will be truly unlucky.

Now, there may be a glimmer of hope for hard work.
