: Shi Lang, a humble job

Wang Pu and Jiang Qianhu led a partial army composed of ten lucky ships to go around the west and head straight into Dushan Island. When they arrived at Dushan Island, Jiang Qianhu, who was searching forward with a monocular telescope, suddenly shouted: "General, it seems that someone is going to escape in front of them."

"Um?"

Wang Pu quickly reached out and took the monocular lens from Jiang Qianhu. After searching for a while, he saw two large sea boats raising their sails and sailing south on the sea. Seeing that the two large ships were obviously coming out of Dushan Island, but he didn't know where they were going?

Jiang Qianhu said: "General, what should I do?"

"." Wang Pu cursed, "I would rather miss it, and I will never let these two big ships go easily."

Jiang Qianhu said: "These two sea ships are not armed ships. They only have a small iron cannon on the bow. It is enough to lead a No. 2 lucky ship to go."

"No!" Wang Pu said in a deep voice, "It is not easy to block the Heilong Gorge. The navy needs your command and dispatch. In this way, Jiang Qianhu, you will lead eight lucky ships directly to Dushan Island Wharf, and put down Tang Sheng's five hundred elite soldiers on the wharf, and they will wipe out the pirates on the island, and then you will immediately lead the navy to block the southern end of the Heilong Gorge."

Tang Sheng and Jiang Qianhu asked anxiously: "What about you, General?"

Wang Pu said: "I took the remaining two lucky ships to chase and kill the two escaped pirate ships. Jiang Qianhu left behind two hundred naval officers who were skilled in water battles to assist in the war."

Jiang Qianhu thought about it and felt that there would be no danger when he used two fully armed lucky ships to deal with two pirate ships with only one artillery, and two hundred navy elite soldiers to assist in the battle.

At that moment, the Navy of the Government Army was divided into two groups. Jiang Qianhu led eight large and small warships to take Tang Sheng and his five hundred elite soldiers to attack Dushan Island, and Wang Pu led two hundred elite soldiers of the navy and his guard to take the remaining two No. 2 lucky ships to chase and kill the two fleeing pirate ships.

Intuition told Wang Pu that these two pirate ships on the escape site were of great significance. Dong Xiaowan was probably on one of the ships.

On the pirate ship.

Zhang San stood barefoot on the deck, raised his head and rushed to the pirate crawling on the mast and shouted: "Increase the windward angle, hurry!"

"The second in commander is already the biggest corner against the wind!"

"Shut up, are you the leader of the family or you, immediately increase the corner of the wind."

"yes!"

When the pirates crawling on the mast were about to increase the sails in the wind, the pirates crawling on the top of the top suddenly shouted: "The second leader, it's not good. The official army is catching up!"

"What?" Zhang San was shocked, "The government army is catching up, where is it?"

"It's right behind." The pirate on the mast shouted, "Two blessed ships!"

Zhang San put on a tent with his barefoot and looked back, and sure enough, he saw two black dots emerging from the sea level. Although they were far apart, this guy still judged that based on his years of experience in making life on the water, they were two lucky ships No. 2, which were fully armed naval warships. They were definitely not something that the two pirates under his command could withstand.

"Hurry, increase the windward angle." Zhang San shouted barefoot at the top of his lungs, "throw away all the useless things on the boat, and then drag the iron cannon on the bow to the stern of the boat, hurry..."

Zhang San gave the order. The pirates on the two pirate ships immediately began to get busy. Some rushed to the bow of the ship to remove the iron cannons, some carried out some bulky guys from the cabin, and threw them directly into the sea. In the chaotic crowd, Hongniang appeared on the deck with two maids.

"Second leader, what's going on?"

"We were targeted by the government navy." Zhang San said barefootly, "Now we can only throw away these guys."

"Huh." The Hongniang said in surprise, "Didn't the second in command take his brothers to intercept and kill the navy in the government army?"

"Don't joke about the boss." Zhang San said with a barefoot smile, "Just relying on these two broken ships and two iron cannons under his brother, how can he fight against the fully armed navy of the government army?"

The Hongniang said, "You can't fight hard, you can win by wisdom."

"Yes." Hou Fangyu, who was standing next to Zhang San, also echoed. "Second leader, we can take it out with wisdom. Are there any reef beaches nearby like Heilong Gorge?"

"There are reef beaches." Zhang San nodded barefoot, "But the wind and waves are high and rushing there, it is very dangerous. If there is a mistake, even our ship will be sunk by the reef."

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?" Hou Fangyu said. "In order to get rid of the two naval warships behind, you can only take risks."

"." Zhang San shook his hand viciously and shouted. "Fight with his official army, turn the rudder and go to Baisha Island."

The warships of the Navy of the Official Army still have an absolute advantage over the pirate ships. Not only are the armed forces in the war not on the same level, but the performance of the warships is also incomparable. In less than half an hour, the two lucky ships led by Wang Pu caught up with the two pirate ships of Zhang San, barefoot.

The only pity is that only the three-masted gunship was equipped with red cannons at the bow. Because the hull was not large enough, the Fu Ship could not install such powerful and extremely bulky cannons at the bow. He could only install a few small cannons, and then there were twenty small cannons in the cabins on both sides. In terms of range or power, these small cannons could not be compared with the Red cannons.

Two small cannons at the bow of the two lucky ships kept firing, and shells kept falling around the pirate ship, causing a surge of water columns. Occasionally, shells would fall on the pirate ship, splashing the wooden debris in the sky, but this level of shelling obviously could not pose a real threat to the pirate ship, and at most it could only be psychologically shocked.

Unless you can chase and run in parallel with the pirate ship, twenty artillery cannons in the sideways and side cabins can fire the pirate ships with fire, which can pose a real threat.

Finally, the two warships of the official naval division caught up with the pirate ship that was landing behind, and clamped it in the middle one left and right. The three ships were almost parallel. In an instant, the two official warships leaned towards the side of the pirate ship, and a dazzling fire broke out in the deafening explosion. Forty small cannons fired almost at the same time!

After several rounds of artillery bombardment, the pirate ship sandwiched in the middle had been blown up to the point where wooden boards flew everywhere, debris splashed, and the bulkheads of the ship were also blown up by more than a dozen large holes. The cold sea water quickly poured into the cabin. The pirates guarding the deck and hiding in the cabin flocked down, picking up all the utensils that could scoop out water desperately.

But reality is cruel, and it can only be futile.

A few minutes later, another round of artillery fire fell ruthlessly on the pirate ship. The pirate ship, riddled with holes, trembled violently and began to sink rapidly.

On the official army warship, Wang Pu shouted in a deep voice: "Don't pay attention to the pirates who fell into the water and continue to pursue the remaining ship."

Escaped on the pirate ship in front, Zhang San roared barefootly: "Brother Iron Courage, Brother Iron Courage! Damn the official army, I and you are endless..."

Time passed quietly. Two official warships were barely forced to come up, and they were about to sandwich the barefoot Zhang San's pirate ship in the middle.

Barefoot Zhang San was anxious and angry. Just when he was at a loss, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded from the warship on the left: "Listen, the pirates on the ship, stop the ship immediately to surrender! Our general said. As long as you surrender, everything in the past will no longer be pursued, and you can still save your life!"

Barefoot Zhang San roared angrily: "What if I don't surrender?"

A figure suddenly appeared behind the female wall of the official army warship and shouted loudly: "Then let's sink you!"

"Wang Pu!"

"Barefoot Zhang San?"

It is conceivable that the shock in the heart of Wang Pu and Zhang San was suddenly seen.

The Hongmao, who was standing not far behind barefoot Zhang San, hurriedly dodged behind the mast. Obviously, she never expected to meet Wang Pu again in such an occasion.

"Wang Pu." Zhang San said angrily, "If you kill my good brother Zhao Tiedan, I will never let you go!"

"Hmph." Wang Pu sneered, "Barefoot Zhang San, you have no way to escape. I order you to stop the ship immediately!"

"Don't think about it!" Zhang San said barefootly. "If you have the will, just order the fire!"

"Wang Pu!" Mao Pijiang, who was on the side, suddenly stepped forward and shouted with a ferocious expression, "If you have the means, please order the fire? If we die, we will die, but your delicate little beauty must follow us to sank into the sea to feed the fish. Hehe, fire the fire, you order the fire."

"Xiaowan?" Wang Pu's face turned and shouted sternly. "How are you doing to Xiaowan?"

Hiding behind the mast, the Hong Maid couldn't help but look moved when she heard this. She flashed and had already taken two maids out of the cabin.

"Not what." Mao Pijiang grinned wildly, "Wang Pu. You can't even get a woman I can't get!"

"Barefoot Zhang San!" Wang Pu turned his head and stared at Zhang San with barefoot, and said angrily, "Are you still a man? The last time you forced the Yuanyuan account book in Wujiang, the general has not yet settled with you. This time you kidnapped the woman in this general's unbroken place. What do you mean?"

Zhang San was speechless. The last time he robbed Chen Yuanyuan was for money. This time, he didn't know that Dong Xiaowan was Wang Pu's woman in advance, but since he had done it, he would never give up and beg for mercy. He replied with a grim voice: "I'm robbed, so what can you do?"

Hou Fangyu approached Zhang San's side barefoot and whispered: "The second leader, Baisha Island is not far ahead. If you find a way to delay it for a while, we will get out of danger."

Wang Pu knew that Zhang San was a barefoot and threats were of no use to him, so he turned to Hou Fangyu. Mao Pijiang and the others put pressure on him and shouted in a deep voice: "Mao Pijiang, Hou Fangyu! Don't forget who you are? You read the books of sages at a young age and were willing to abdicate. Are you not afraid of harming your family? And your Fushe, have you ever thought that it will be ruined because of the two of you, and there will be no more land in Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Hou Fangyu couldn't help but lower his head. He didn't care about the reputation of Fushe, but he had to worry about the safety of his family. Since Wang Pu knew that he had already joined the thief, he would inevitably report to the court after he returned. The family and tribe members who stayed in his hometown in Shangqiu were probably not spared.

"Wang Pu, you're all forcing this!" Mao Pijiang shouted in a grim voice, "You have snatched Chen Yuanyuan from me, why do you still want to snatch Xiaowan with me?"

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "So, is it your idea to let Zhang San rob Xiaowan by barefoot?"

"That's right!" Mao Pijiang smiled proudly, "I've said it long ago. You can't imagine that the woman I can't get is mine. Xiaowan is mine. Now her heart is mine. Soon her people will become my land, and Yuanyuan. One day I will take her back from you!"

"Mao Pijiang." A cold murderous intent flashed through Wang Pu's eyes and shouted, "Today you'd better ask God to go to heaven. Don't fall into my hands!"

"Hahaha." Mao Pijiang laughed wildly, "Wang Pu, don't be too proud. I don't know who will win."

"Young Master Mao, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. It turns out that you have been lying to me."

A cold voice suddenly came from behind. When Mao Pijiang looked back quickly, he saw Dong Xiaowan standing not far behind him, behind Dong Xiaowan. There were two maids standing on the frosty face of Hongmao and her.

Mao Pijiang said in the second sentence: "Xiaowan, this...you, I..."

On the opposite boat, a hint of undetectable joy flashed through Wang Pu's eyes. The White Lotus leader, who was the personal soldier of Qiao Zhuang, couldn't help but lean on him. He leaned against Wang Pu's ears and said, "Little bad guy, it seems that your relationship with Hong Niang is really extraordinary. In order to help you, she did not hesitate to turn against Zhang San with barefoot."

"The boss of the big boss." Zhang San's face immediately sank and said in a cold voice. "What are you doing?"

The Hongniang said in a deep voice: "Zhang Er, Xiaowan's sister is someone else's fiancée. How do you explain this?"

"No need to explain." Zhang San said barefoot angrily, "Why should I explain to you?"

The Hongniang said coldly: "So Zhang Er's family is going to ignore the rules on the Green Forest Road?"

"Go to his rules." Zhang San was completely angry by a series of blows and shouted angrily, "My words are rules. Hongmao, just let Miss Xiaowan go. I still think you are our friend. If you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for being rude."

The red lady raised her eyebrows and shouted in a tender voice: "Since Gu Er is obsessed with the family, don't blame me for not talking about the morality of the world!"

After saying that, the Red Lady rushed over the two pirates next to her, and another sword was slashed on the cable. The escape boat tied to the side of the big ship fell on the sea with a swelling sound. The Red Lady reached out and held Dong Xiaowan's armpits and jumped off the deck. She landed on the boat like lightning, and the two maids also jumped down the boat.

"." Zhang San came to his senses barefoot and said angrily, "Brothers, shoot arrows, don't let these girls run away!"

The pirates on the deck all rushed to the side of the ship, raised their crossbows and bird guns in their hands and shot them at the small boat driven by the master and servant of Hongniang. In an instant, the arrows were raining. Hongniang protected Dong Xiaowan behind him, waving the oars on the boat and desperately blocked the arrows shot by the pirates.

While resisting the arrows shot by the pirates, Hong Madam and the two maids turned around and shouted: "General Wang, stop the ship quickly, there is danger ahead!"

On the official warship, Wang Pu was afraid that the cannon would shoot out of the cannon and accidentally injured Hongniangzi and Dong Xiaowan who were sandwiched in the middle. He ordered the guards and navy officers and soldiers to use muskets and bows to counter the pirates on the pirate ship. When Hongniang finally approached the boat, Wang Pu urgently ordered people to drop the ladder and rescue them.

"Fire the cannon!" Wang Pu yelled, "Sink this damn pirate ship!"

Unfortunately, because of saving Hongniang, the distance between the pirate ship and the two official warships was further widened, and the artillery on the side could no longer hit the pirate ship.

The Hongniang climbed onto the deck along the ladder, and when she saw Wang Pu, she said, "General, stop the ship quickly!"

"Stop the boat?" Wang Pu said in surprise, "Why?"

"There is a reef ahead!" said the Hongniang hurriedly, "There is danger!"

"Reef?" Wang Pu's face changed and he said anxiously, "Hurry up, lower the sails immediately and break down!"

As Wang Pu finished speaking, the warship had already hit the underwater reef heavily. With a loud bang, the entire warship shook violently, and the forward momentum stopped abruptly. Everyone standing on the deck was heavily overturned to the ground.

Wang Pu stood on the edge of the ship's side and was directly lifted out. Fortunately, Hong Madam standing beside him quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Pu's right arm. Wang Pu instinctively grabbed Hong Madam's jade arm with his backhand, and fell from the air and hit the side side heavily. He couldn't help but snorted in pain.

Looking down, I saw the sea under my feet rolling and the white waves were surging.

Wang Pu couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. If it weren't for the Hongmao's rescue, he would have fallen into the sea and been swallowed by the rolling torrent under his feet.

"boom!"

Another loud bang came, and another official warship also ran aground.

With a embarrassed look, Lu Liu finally struggled to get up and pulled Wang Pu up with two guards.

It was not until his feet stepped on the deck that Wang Pu breathed a long sigh and couldn't help but look back and glanced at Hong Madam with gratitude. Hong Madam pretended not to see him and turned away. Wang Pu shook his head. When he looked forward, he saw that Zhang San's pirate ship had already passed through the reef and moved away.

"Damn it." Wang Pu said in a hatred, "I still let this guy run away."

Dong Xiaowan, with the help of her young mother, came to Wang Pu and cried, "General, I'm causing you trouble."

Dong Xiaowan was so kind that she couldn't describe her gratitude in her heart. She thought that Wang Pu led the navy into the sea to save her.

"Xiaowan." Wang Pu reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Xiaowan's delicate face and asked in a harmonious voice, "Are you okay?"

Dong Xiaowan nodded softly and burst into tears.

"Nen Niang." Wang Pu turned to Nen Niang and said, "I'll leave Xiaowan to you. You must take good care of her."

"Yes." The young girl replied in a sweet voice, "General, don't worry."

"General!" A soaked navy officer had already rushed to the deck and said to Wang Pu, "The situation is not good!"

Wang Pu said: "Speak slowly."

The navy gasped and said, "It seems that we have hit the reef forest. All the six watertight cabins at the bottom of the ship have been knocked through. The sea water is so flooding back, and it is impossible to block it at all. Now I only hope that the reefs under the water can hold the hull so that they will not sink into the sea and everyone will have a chance to survive."

Wang Pu said: "How is Mr. Han's warship?"

The general said, "Old Han just sent a flag slogan, and his warship was even more damaged and has begun to sink now."

Wang Puyou looked at him. Sure enough, he saw that the hull of another naval warship in the distance had begun to tilt, and the entire stern had almost sunk into the sea. It seemed that in at most half an hour, the entire ship would completely sink into the sea.

The boss looked up at the sky and suddenly shouted, "No, it looks like the wind is coming!"

Wang Pu frowned and said, "The wind is rising?"

"The general doesn't know that there are three feet of waves in the sea without wind. If there is a strong wind, the waves will be enough to tear the hull apart. At that time, everyone will be swept into the sea, and there are reefs here. There are vortexes everywhere. If they are swept into the sea, they will surely die!"

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "What should I do now?"

Mr. Ba said miserably: "Now you can only escape by taking advantage of the wind before it blows. As long as you escape from this reef forest, you will have at least half the chance of survival!"

Wang Pu frowned and said, "But there is only one small boat on the boat, and the one Mrs. Li rowed over, there are only two small boats."

"General!" said the navy chief loudly, "Take the guards and these women on a small boat. Be on the boat with your brothers and keep your brothers on the boat and have a bet with God!"

Wang Pu shook his head and said, "This is too dangerous."

"General, go quickly!" said the boss anxiously, "It will be windy if it is late. Even if you want to leave, you won't be able to leave!"

Wang Pu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay, tell me your name!"

The navy commander said, "I am humble in his position, Shi Lang."

"Shi Lang?"

Wang Pu was shocked when he heard this. Unexpectedly, this young navy general was Shi Lang, a navy general in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

"Shi Lang, I remember your name. If you and your soldiers can come back alive, I will use you more. If you die in battle, I will treat your family with kindness!"

Shi Lang clasped his fists and said with high apology: "Thank you, General!"

"Thank you, General!"

"Thank you, General!"

"Thank you, General!"

The navy officials behind Shi Lang also clasped their fists, each with solemn expressions. These navy officials were worthy of being the elites brought by Huang Degong, and they were all heroes who were not afraid of death. But then again, if Wang Pu was not a general who was enough to convince them, they might not be willing to leave their only chance of escape to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu turned around and shouted: "Yan Fei."

The young girl replied in a delicate voice: "Here."

"Take ten brothers to protect Miss Xiaowan and take the first boat."

"yes."

"Lu Liu."

"exist."

"Take five brothers with me, and the remaining brothers stay on the boat and live and die with General Shi Lang and the Shui Master brothers!"

"yes!"

The soldiers of Lu Liuhe's guards agreed.

Wang Pu finally turned around and looked at the White Lotus Sect Master and Hong Niangzi and said, "Master, Mrs. Li, you and I will take the second boat."

The White Lotus Sect Leader gave Wang Pufei a charming look, and he looked like his sister was very satisfied with your arrangement, but the Hongmao beside her suddenly snorted and fell softly on the deck. Two maids behind the Hongmao quickly rushed forward to help her up and asked anxiously: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

The Hongniang was injured.
Chapter completed!
