Chapter 235 Golden Cat

The naval battle soon came to an end. Chen Dahuzi was very unwilling to watch the barbarian ship grow away, and he could only hurriedly clean up the battlefield and then leave quickly. As for those companions who sank into the water, they could only observe a moment of silence in their hearts. Since they became pirates, they would have to be burialized in the sea. Moreover, for these pirates, the seabed is their best place to bury. Of course, the premise is that they will not become food for fish under the sea.

There was a fierce battle on the sea just now, and now there were only two small boats that had overturned, and a trace of blood that gradually dissipated with the waves.

Zhengliang also arrived at the battlefield at this time. Looking at the pirate fleet gradually moving away and the barbarian ships cruising in discontent in front of him, Zhengliang was sweating coldly. He originally planned to break into the chaotic battlefield to escape, but these guys were very clear and ended the battle early, which made Zhengliang's plan fail. Now, his ship is still the prey of the Ming navy gradually approaching behind him.

"Chasing in the direction of that big ship." Zhengliang continued to row the sloping oars in his hand, and shouted loudly. After a long period of vigorous movement, Zhengliang felt that his physical strength was a little overwhelmed. Now his only hope was the big ship in front. Judging from the situation where the other party was swimming slowly, he seemed not afraid of the few lucky ships behind him.

With Zhengliang's order, the ship quickly headed towards the big ship. I hope the big ship would not mind his actions. Now his actions obviously brought trouble to the other party and met a ship owner with a bad temper. I guess Zhengliang's small boat would be angry with the other party. He had no choice but to do anything, even if he risked offending the other party, Zhengliang decided to take a gamble.

"Those big ships have not been chased by them." After a long time, the surprise screams of Shi Tou came from behind. He quickly rowed the oars for a long time. Even adults like Zhengliang couldn't bear it, let alone the stone. So Shi Tou did not row the oars a long time ago, but started to release the air.

Hearing Shi Tou's scream, Masayora and others quickly turned their heads and looked back. Sure enough, they saw several lucky boats stop, and some even put down the boat and began to clean up the naval battlefield just now.

Yes, the generals of these lucky ships did not intend to pursue Zhengliang anymore. The main reason was that they did not want to fight the barbarian ship in front of them. Unlike the pirate leader Chen Dahuzi, who was as unaware as the pirate leader Chen Dahuzi, the combat effectiveness of the barbarian ships. The generals of these lucky ships knew about it. Although in the current situation, the three lucky ships could definitely defeat the barbarian ships together, they would definitely suffer a lot of losses in the end. If the other pirates who had just left appeared again at this time, then these three lucky ships would be in danger. Besides, the pursuit of Zhengliang's ships was just for the purpose of serving and obtaining military achievements. Isn't the just-concluded naval battle battlefield just happening to have everything they need? So why take the risk to pursue? So after weighing the trade-offs, the generals of the lucky ship decisively stopped pursuing Zhengliang's ships.

"Don't be discouraged, hurry up and leave here," Zhengliang shouted. Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly stopped, this was the perfect time to leave quickly. After all, at such a distance, the other party could catch up again in an instant.

After being reminded by Zhengliang, everyone woke up immediately, then gritted their teeth and continued to row the boat and leave quickly.

Half an hour later, the ship finally got away from the battlefield just now. Everyone was so tired that they were all lying on the ship.

"Ah? No. It's the big ship just now! It's coming to us." Just as everyone was breathing heavily, Shi Tou, who was in charge of watching the wind, screamed again.

"Ah?" Everyone got up one after another. Sure enough, they saw the barbarian ship driving towards this side. Look at it. It was completely for their own ship. Did their actions just now really anger the other party? Now they are here to settle the score? They have just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den! Zhengliang couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought.

Zhengliang turned his head to look at his men, and his wry smiled even more. He saw that one or two were exhausted, and even stood up to support each other. If the other party directly attacked his ship at this time, then his group of people would have to surrender.

Just as Masayoshi was surprised, the ship had already stopped seven or eight meters away from Masayoshi's ship.

Masayoshi looked at him intently and exclaimed involuntarily: What a big ship. I was just rushing to escape, but now when I was really by the side of this big ship, I realized that this ship was indeed huge, at least larger than any ship Masayoshi saw in Riben.

Now Masayoshi can only look up at this big ship. Looking up, he saw that the ship had three tall masts, with three pairs of large canvas hanging on the masts, and of course they were all closed now. The hull seemed to have two layers, probably transformed by a merchant ship. The bow and stern deck were very tall. Once a battle occurred, when the two ships were stuck side by side, its advantage was that they could easily board the enemy ship, which seemed to be designed for platoon battles. From a distance, its scary castle-like appearance also played a psychological role in defending the enemy. With the artillery on the deck, it was indeed an invincible fortress on the sea.

Strictly speaking, this ship cannot be called a large three-masted sailboat. Masayoshi knew that Spanish galleys appeared one after another in the mid-to-late 16th century. It is said that the Portuguese first built such a large galley, but the Spanish began to build large galleys on a large scale and used them to form a powerful fleet. The famous Spanish treasure fleet consisted of such ships. The reputation of Spanish galleys lies in their huge hull and load capacity, in their continuous transport of gold from the New World for the Spanish royal family and nobles to spend. Usually it carries heavy weapons. Spanish galleys have two to three decks, most of which are equipped with three masts, but there are special cases of four masts.

Zhengliang also noticed that the ship had not started to set up portholes. It is estimated that the ship had not returned to the West for a while, otherwise it would have followed the trend and set up portholes. During this period, the West had begun to know how to set up portholes on the ship. This was a window opened on the side of the ship, with a window cover opened with a hinge on it, so that it could easily load and unload the ship through the window without having to lift from the side of the ship and through the window. British shipbuilders used this idea to try to make cannons shove from the lower deck of the ship. In this way, the portholes were released. Its weight was safely distributed under its center of gravity. Spain immediately followed the footsteps of the United Kingdom and built a long-term contract.

A 100-foot-wide warship is called a Spanish mast sail warship. Like the ancient Greek and Roman warships, it was specially designed for naval combat. Its hull tends to be narrow and long, with a lower collision angle above the waterline to collide with enemy ships. This kind of warship has three masts, with cross sails on it. A ship tower is built on the bow and stern, and the hull above the waterline is equipped with many light cannons. There is a row of large cannons on the main hull, so that the initial stage of naval battle will be greatly extended. However, if a fierce collision against the enemy ship, and soldiers board the enemy ship and engage in a close-knit battle like in the early naval battles, the battle cannot achieve the final victory.

Just as Zhengliang was watching the structure of this big ship, he stretched out a bald head from the side of the big ship, and then shouted to Zhengliang's ship: "Hey, guy below, that's the captain. Our captain, please come up quickly."

"Your Highness, let me wait," Liu Le, Kinisha Masaru and others immediately stepped forward and said. In this situation, it seems that it is not possible not to go, but you can't let the head of the family go, which is really too dangerous.

"No, I'll go," Zhengliang said calmly. It can be seen from the fact that the other party did not launch an attack, at least the other party had no intention of harming for the time being, so Zhengliang decided to go and see what the captain on the ship wanted to do.

Finally, under Zhengliang's order, Liu Le accompanied him to the big ship.

"Let's go" With Zhengliang's order, the ship began to row to the side of the big ship.

Arriving below one side of the ship, Masayoshi gave his men a look of waiting with peace of mind, and then he took the lead in climbing up the rope ladder hanging down from the deck of the ship.

When he was about to climb to the side of the ship, a big hand covered with calluses reached down. Masayoshi smiled and understood, then stretched out his right hand and held the other's big hand. As soon as the other party exerted force, Masayoshi climbed onto the big ship.

After standing still, he looked closely. Standing in front of him was a burly man, the bald man who had just called out. He looked like a Han man. The bald man grinned at Masayoshi, then patted Masayoshi on the shoulder, and said, "Hahaha, let's go, lucky guy, you're lucky this time, the captain wants to see you. What a hell, why did the captain who only plays with women in bed suddenly become interested in meeting guests today?"

Zhengliang smiled slightly when he heard this, but did not answer, but became interested in the captain. After Liu Le also climbed up, Zhengliang walked towards the front of both sides of the ship under the guidance of the bald man, where the bow was at the position.

Zhengliang looked at the layout of the deck of the ship. He saw more than a dozen people standing around, and Zhengliang found white people from these people, who were also southern barbarians. These people were now looking at Zhengliang and the others as if they were looking at monkeys.

Looking further forward, there was a guy sitting on a chair with his back on Masayoshi on his back. What attracted Masayoshi the most was that beside the chair, Masayoshi saw a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman with golden hair, and a beautiful golden silk cat.
