Great Song Pirate

Chapter 487 Remaining life after catastrophe
The most uncomfortable thing in the fleet is probably not the sailors who were drenched in the rain on the deck, but the infantry soldiers who went out with the fleet for the first time.

Those infantry soldiers who followed Xu Yi to conquer Annan in the past were a little bit better. After all, they stayed on the ship back and forth for nearly half a year. Experience, at least the dizziness is not very severe, but those soldiers who went out with the fleet for the first time did not have this experience and blessing, and they all bumped into the cabin like rolling gourds.

Sometimes as the boat fell to the bottom of the waves, they were thrown heavily, and many people hit their heads on the ceiling; sometimes, as the boat was pushed to the top of the waves, they were thrown heavily on the floor. Those who were unlucky were hit with bloody heads, even those who were lucky were bruised and bruised, and the officers of each ship had orders that no one should wear armor, let alone a helmet. Confused by the turbulence, many people started to find a place to pay public food. One or two almost vomited their bile. The rope was tied to the top of the post, saving them from running out and throwing themselves into the sea in case they couldn't take it anymore!

These seasick soldiers have suffered an old crime. They just bumped around in the cabin and vomited in a mess. The smell in the cabin was as bad as it wanted, and some people couldn't help it. They groaned loudly, and some people even cursed the ghost God for not taking care of the brothers. The excitement when they first left Liuqiu Island has long since disappeared. Now they can truly appreciate the rage of nature. , no one thinks this trip is an easy plundering trip anymore, and these rookies can be regarded as knowing the sufferings of the soldiers who went out with the ship before.

The veterans are not necessarily feeling well at the moment, even the best sailors will not feel that there is nothing wrong in such weather, let alone them!But fortunately, they have experience, holding things to hold the horse, using their legs as a shock absorber to reduce some bumps, and trying to divert their attention, try not to think about seasickness, compared to those rolling gourds. For the rookies, this kind of performance is quite good, and it looks much calmer, which makes those rookies secretly admire them.

I'm afraid the Khitan cavalry are the ones who can't bear this torment the most. Although they are sturdy knights on land, these guys are basically landlubbers. At most, they were forcibly thrown into the sea by Yang Zaixing before departure. I learned a dog planer there. Except for the time when these guys fled to Danshuizhai, they took a boat once, but compared to this time, the experience of that boat ride was simply a happy journey. As long as the boat encountered wind and waves, I will find a nearby place to stop, so I have never experienced such a scene even if I am seasick.

These land tigers have all become soft-legged shrimps at this time. Apart from holding on to the fixed objects desperately, their faces are already ashen, and they can't wait to spit out the food they ate three days ago. If they go to war, I am afraid that even a three-year-old child can knock them over with a stick. How can there be a little bit of the arrogance exuded from the bottom of the Khitan people!It hurts to look so pitiful.

"I can't stand it anymore! Please come and knock me out! Please, gentlemen!" Xiao Jianfeng wanted to discuss some military matters with Yang Zaixing this time, so he transferred to Yang Zaixing's seat when he was in Yunaguo Island. The boat is bumping around in Yang Zaixing's cabin right now!

Yang Zaixing's expression was not good, but he exerted strength with both feet, and using a heavy weight, he firmly nailed his body to the ship's plank, supported the bulkhead with one hand, and adjusted his body with the bumps of the ship. Compared with Xiao Jianfeng who was flying past him, hit the bulkhead again, and then fell to the ground in a daze, he was quite calm, still without losing the demeanor of a general.

As soon as Xiao Jianfeng struggled to get up, following the violent bump of the boat, he screamed and rushed towards Yang Zaixing. Fortunately, even Yang Zaixing was hugged by him and fell to the ground. It was also completely destroyed by him, and the two of them turned into gourds together.

Xiao Jianfeng climbed to the cabin door, hugged the door frame and retched for a long time, but in the end he vomited out nothing but a little water. Two of Yang Zaixing's personal guards yelled: "I can't take it anymore! You just give it a shot, it's more comfortable to knock me out than this, please!..."

Yang Zaixing got up and smiled wryly: "Come on, you are lucky this time. Last time when we were in Annan, we encountered a storm that was worse than this time. Now don't you dare to say anything big! Spit! Get used to throwing up, experience it once, it will be much better next time! Find a place to hug yourself and stop bumping around, if this goes on, I will be fainted by you too!"

Xiao Jianfeng wailed and said: "I'm quitting, don't pull me, let me jump into the sea and die!" As he said that, he wanted to crawl out of the cabin, how could he have the demeanor of a general!Fortunately, only Yang Zaixing and his two personal guards were present at the moment, otherwise Xiao Jianfeng might have lost his face this time.

Yang Zaixing rushed over at a brisk pace, grabbed his arm, called the two guards to find a rope, and simply tied him to the leg of the bed to save him from messing around.

Everyone seemed to be wandering around the edge of hell, and they carried it until the sky brightened, and the violent sea became calmer. Xu Yi, like everyone else, spent the night on the boat, his expression changed. He was extremely pale, but he still insisted on staying on the ship tower, and did not retreat half a step into the cabin. This move undoubtedly won the unanimous admiration of his subordinates again, and he had to secretly pass on this matter secretly.

Seeing that the wind gradually weakened and the huge waves on the sea began to calm down, Xu Yi heaved a long sigh of relief, thinking in his heart, could it be that these damned little devils are really blessed by gods? The team gave a big slap in the face, but immediately laughed again, any weather on the sea may be encountered, this has nothing to do with the god of shit, why do I always think about these stupid things!

So he put aside this thought, found a piece of flannel, wiped the lens of the telescope, raised his eyes and began to survey the surrounding sea. At this time, the sky was still covered with dark clouds and the visibility was not very high, but it was better than last night I can see much more clearly during the storm, at least the rain has stopped now!

In the lens of his telescope, a large number of ships were quickly searched, still surrounding the Crossbar, but the distance was far away, and all the ships could not be seen, and the sails on the ships that could be seen had already disappeared Falling, at this time, like the Crossbar, drifting with the current on the sea.

"It seems that this wind has passed. Immediately order the commanders of the various fleets to count the losses and see if any ships are lost. Order the fleet to gather and count the number of ships!" Xu Yi was very worried that the strong wind last night would blow them away. In this case, if the loss is too great, he can only temporarily return to Liuqiu Island and prepare again.

The standard-bearer on the Crossbar waved a small flag, and at the same time, in order to speed up the transmission of orders, the drums and horns on the ship also sounded at the same time, conveying Xu Yi's instructions.

After each ship received the order, they relayed Xu Yi's order to the ships farther away again in the form of relay, and soon the entire fleet received Xu Yi's order, and began to raise part of the sails and turn the rudder. They began to gather together, keeping a relatively close safe distance between the ships, and slowly gathered into a circular ship formation.

It took almost half a day to gather this time, and the nearby ships gradually gathered together, and the weather began to improve by noon, and the sky even began to clear up.

"My lord! The number of ships in the fleet has been counted. When we set off, we brought out 110 three ships. Including the lord's crossbar, there are 110 four ships. After the big storm last night, we have now gathered [-] ships. Zero five, and the whereabouts of the remaining nine ships are currently unknown. Among them, Diao Bin's leading fleet is missing three, Wang Feng and Kong Qingxi's fleet are missing one each, the main fleet has no ships missing, and the following ships of the infantry fleet are missing. Four, but fortunately, three of the four missing infantry ships were loaded with grain and grass, and the other was loaded with horses. The loss of personnel was not too great! Some sailors on some ships were blown into the sea by strong winds at night and disappeared. It is estimated that there are no more. It's saved, but overall our loss is not too serious!" Sun Hai quickly reported the fleet's loss of ships to Xu Yi.

After listening to Sun Hai's words, Xu Yi felt relieved, but at the same time felt a little pained. This loss was not to the extent of hurting the entire fleet, and basically did not affect the overall strength. The nine boats are gone!That would be at least a few hundred people lost, not including the number of sailors who fell into the sea at night and disappeared, and one of the boats contained nearly a hundred horses, and the three boats were all loaded with grain and grass. Xu Yi It's strange if it doesn't hurt!

If these soldiers went to battle and killed the enemy heroically, they would not be wronged. But if they died in the storm, it would be a bit wronged. Xu Yi tried his best not to think about it. Fortunately, most of the ships were not missing. , the fleet can continue to move forward, which is much better than being forced to return!
"The brothers on the ships of the fleet did a good job, please send me a message to reward the brothers!" Xu Yi said.

(A tipping function suddenly appeared yesterday. When Pida saw it, she was almost moved to tears. I didn’t expect that there was a brother who gave him a reward like this! Thank you, thank you! Pida almost ran out with a gong in his hand, uncle Let’s enjoy it, guys! Haha! Why do you think I look like a singer now?? Hehe!)
