Chapter 782 Kong Yingda at the kindergarten level (10,000 words for monthly ticket)
Su Dingfang squinted his eyes and kept staring at the bamboo basket. When he saw the red flag waving, he watched silently for a while and suddenly said excitedly: "The enemy is behind the small island on the west side, with about seventy warships!"
This thing works so well!
Flying into the sky like this, you can see the mountains, rivers and sea in front of your eyes!
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Give the order, Commander-in-Chief!"
Su Dingfang took a deep breath. This was his first battle as the commander of the Royal Navy. Although he had experienced countless battles, this time was different. Not only because this is a water battle that he is unfamiliar with, but also because this is his first time commanding a battle as a head coach!
"Liu Renyuan's 3rd brigade and Liu Rengui's 2nd brigade went straight forward, bypassing the southern end of the island and turning north; Xi Junmai's 4th brigade and the 1st brigade turned around, heading south along the coast from the northern end of the island, and joined the 2nd and 2nd brigade. The third brigade attacked from the north and south and won in one battle! ”
As his order was given, signalmen standing on the mast waved flags and carried the order to the rest of the ships.
The entire fleet quickly split into two, one part continued southward and turned back around the island, while the main 1st and 4th brigades turned around. Hundreds of warships drew white trails on the clear sea. They completed their deployment in an instant and each headed straight for their own battle goal.
Kong Yingda praised: "A warrior who has fought a hundred battles is nothing more than this!"
The monstrous momentum formed by these hundreds of warships is indeed shocking, but Fang Jun always adds to Kong Yingda's obstacles from time to time. Hearing this, he said: "It's too early for me to say this. The current fleet is not as perfect as the juniors think." The fleet must not even reach one-tenth.”
Kong Yingda glared and said: "Don't think that I am not familiar with military affairs, so you are just bragging in front of me! No matter how strong you are, how strong can you be?"
Fang Jun laughed loudly, "Thousands of miles of ocean, coming and going! Not trapped by the monsoon, not afraid of the dangers of wind and waves, the ship can sail on the sea and cut through the waves. The South and East Oceans can be reached in only ten days, and the great eclipse can be traveled back and forth in a year!" Master, do you know that if you sail across the ocean all the way to the east, can you reach the end of the sky and the edge of the sea?”
Kong Yingda said excitedly: "If there is such a powerful ship, wouldn't it be possible to reach the legendary Penglai Island?"
If we could find a fairy island, wouldn't we be able to get the elixir of immortality?
In the past, Qin Shihuang sent the alchemist Xu Fu to take a boat with 500 boys and girls to search for the fairy island. However, before Xu Fu could bring back the elixir of immortality, his life span was exhausted. He still missed the fairy island until his death! Your Majesty is so wise and powerful today. If he could obtain the elixir of immortality and become immortal, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty also prosper under his leadership and never collapse?
If this is really the case, then the world and the people will be very lucky!
Fang Jun's mouth twitched, it's bad!
How could I have forgotten that most people in this era have strong faith and deep obsession with overseas fairy islands that can produce the elixir of immortality?
Moreover, emperors of all dynasties were crazy about being able to live forever, enjoy the supremacy of the emperor forever, and control the owner of this splendid country. Not to mention an emperor like Qin Shihuang who was so controlling that he even built his own mausoleum into mountains, lakes, earth, and stars. It seems that even a wise emperor like His Majesty Li Er was eventually destroyed by this desire for "immortality"...
What if His Majesty Li Er commits a demonic obstacle and hears that I can build a warship that can reach the end of the sea, and on a whim asks me to lead the fleet to seek immortality and medicine for him? It's not impossible to go to sea, but there is no fairy island at all, let alone any elixir of immortality! When I go to North and South America, there is no elixir of immortality. Under the eyes of His Majesty Li Er who yearn for immortality, but I just bring back a boatload of sweet potatoes, potatoes and peppers, what will happen to me?
It’s scary to think about it...
Fang Jun quickly said: "The overseas fairy mountains are just legends. Has anyone really seen them?"
Kong Yingda said flatly: "Of course some people have seen it! Along the coast, from time to time, people have witnessed with their own eyes the appearance of mountain peaks, boulders, and even people and animals in the vast sea. If it were not overseas fairy mountains, how could these things exist on the sea?"< br>
Fang Jun touched his forehead with his hand...
How to explain the formation of mirages to an ancient person who is still in the stage of "two children arguing about the sun"? It is estimated that this old master will be able to figure out a "small hole imaging"!
There's really no way to explain this. He doesn't even understand what the air is about. How can he be expected to understand the refraction of light? Kong Yingda's physics knowledge is roughly equivalent to the kindergarten level of later generations...
Fang Jun was sweating a little and could only say: "There are absolutely no fairy islands and sacred mountains on the sea, and as for the elixir of immortality, it is even more imaginary. But what you mentioned about the appearance of people and mountains on the sea, I can give it to you after my class. Do an experiment to prove that it is purely a nihilistic scene.”
Kong Yingda obviously didn't believe it.
Instead, the guide said: "The sea is vast, and all kinds of strange things may exist. Dragons as high as the sky absorb water, the seabed sometimes rolls like boiling water, and waves as high as city walls are commonplace. Every summer, the sea There will be hurricanes passing by, and strong winds will roll up huge waves like mountains. Running wildly onto the land, no matter how huge the trees are, they will be uprooted... When I was very young, I loved the sea. I dreamed of driving a big ship to travel the ocean and see those weird things, even if it was Even if you die under the huge waves, you will feel very happy..."
Fang Jun looked at him in surprise, thinking that this was a guy with the adventurous character of a navigator, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"
The guide quickly said: "Little Tianyun is here."
"Haha, that's a good name." Fang Jun praised it.
Tian Yun is coming, Tian Yun is coming...
Maybe this guy can be trained as a scapegoat to open a route to explore the Americas...
The fleet rounded the sharp corner on the north side of the island and turned south. Presumably the 2nd and 3rd brigades had almost rounded the southern end of the island at this time. The two fleets were heading towards each other and were about to converge to surround the pirates. In the middle!
The Five-Tooth Battleship sailed quickly on the sea. Because the draft was too shallow, it was very bumpy. If the wind and waves were slightly stronger, the boat could capsize and people would be killed at any time. Fang Jun stood on the side of the ship and was terrified. He made up his mind that he would never go to sea again on this five-tooth warship until a new type of sea-going ship was built.
Among the inland rivers and lakes, the Five-Tooth Battleship is an invincible existence. But on the sea, the innate design factors determine that it is a top-heavy drunkard. It can be blown over by a strong wind at any time, causing all the people in the boat to fall into the sea to feed the fish and shrimps...
The wind is not strong, so the sails have limited borrowing power. Moreover, these sails are too backward and cannot maximize the speed of the ship with the help of wind power. The huge hot air balloon floated behind the ship, pulled by a strong and solid rope, and followed it like a big kite.
Suddenly, the red flag in the bamboo basket of the hot air balloon waved again, and horns sounded from each warship one after another, gradually becoming one. All the warships increased their speed to the fastest and rushed forward crazily.
*****
The sea was calm in the harbor, and the warm waves gently licked the sides of the ships. Seventy or eighty ships docked casually, all dropping their anchors and quietly waiting for the island owner's order.
Gai Dahai sat on the flagship with a gloomy expression.
He knew that his fleet was no match for the imperial navy, even though most of the navy, from generals to soldiers, were infantry. In fact, Fang Jun's victory in Niuzhuji was so brilliant that Gai Dahai never stopped. Fear arose in my heart.
But he was still unwilling...
The lair that he had been running for twenty years was suddenly taken over by Fang Jun. How could he swallow this sigh of relief?
Those women who were killed before leaving, as well as the countless valuables and money left on the island, were all years of savings!
How not to feel bad?
What's more important is that now he has become a homeless child, floating alone on the sea without a base to supplement him. He is a delicacy in the eyes of other pirates, and everyone will pounce on him and bite him! The jungle of the jungle in the world of pirates is even worse than facing a merchant ship that is about to be plundered!
We are enemies when we are plundering merchant ships. If the other party is more docile and gives in to what we ask for, sometimes we will let the other party live. However, among the pirates, they usually seem to be joking and harmonious. Once someone is unlucky, they will immediately smell the smell of blood in the sea. Pounce like a shark!
One less competitor means one more ration...
It’s such a pain in the butt that I don’t have any manuscripts saved... Recently, I can’t save my manuscripts at 10,000 words per day. Tomorrow I’ll give a lot of updates to the cute host “oYeyu Wutongo”. I’ll write as much as I can. I’ll do my best. . Also, the first chapter will be around 10 o'clock tomorrow. I hope you all will support it with your votes. Thank you. I'm done. Good night everyone.
