Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor
Chapter 519 The boat is leaking
"First order people to block these breaches, and we must insist on letting the ship get closer to the shore of the island again."
Ning Fan couldn't care too much at this time. When he came to the beach, he saw Wang Hai, whose hands were tied with iron chains, swimming in the sea water.
Even with his hands tied, Wang Hai seemed to be at home in the water. The two looked at each other across the water, and Ning Fan could clearly see the ferocity on Wang Hai's face.
Qin Ying took out a strong bow from somewhere, unintentionally opened the bow, and shot at Wang Hai in the sea. The arrow was steady and accurate, and it hit Wang Hai's shoulder. A piece of blood rose up.
"How can this beast live in this world without a king or a father?"
Qin Ying obviously hated Wang Hai very much.
Ning Fan did not speak too much and ran across the sea. It had little impact on Ning Fan. The most important thing now was to send the big ship to the beach before it completely sank. At least it was stranded on the beach. The big ship was still alive. There is a chance of repair.
If the ship sinks, it is almost certain that everyone will be trapped on the island.
Ning Fan couldn't even imagine that kind of terrible outcome. He was the king of a country. If he disappeared at sea, Ning Fan could think of the consequences with his toes.
Fortunately, the nearby islands are not far away. In about a quarter of an hour, the ship can see the coast. However, at this time, the ship's continuous line has begun to slowly decline, and the water in the cabin has been submerged up to a person's waist. The sailors carried buckets and poured water out of the cabin continuously, which could be used to slow down the sinking of the ship.
However, all the food, vegetables and daily necessities placed in the cabin were soaked by the sea water.
"Everyone, get ready. The pirates are waiting for us on the beach! Once the ship docks, these pirates will pounce on us immediately."
Ning Fan was ready to fight. Qin Ying helped Ning Fan put on the armor so that he could at least withstand some light attacks, while other combatants also began to check their weapons.
Due to the water in the cabin, a large number of cannonballs were poured into the seawater and could not be used. Otherwise, if the beach was covered with artillery fire, these pirates would be able to drink a pot.
"A rough estimate shows that the number of pirates on this island is probably more than a thousand, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is nothing to worry about."
Ning Fan looked at the beach from a distance and found that the pirates were all different, including men and women. They were obviously put together temporarily. It seemed that these pirates were also trying desperately to prevent the imperial warship from landing.
However, the big ship was already very close to the coast. Even at this time, everyone still had enough time to escape. Ning Fan had calmed down at this time. As the big ship began to slowly wash up on the beach, the ship was completely stranded. At this time, they had already prepared The good dragon scale troops jumped on the boat and started rushing towards the beach.
With more than 2,000 Dragon Scale Army troops and more than 1,000 pirates, the war was one-sided from the beginning.
These pirates fought and retreated, but Ning Fan refused to let go.
As the Dragon Scale Army continued to retreat deeper into the island, Ning Fan saw a large number of pirate corpses along the way.
The pirates on this island obviously belong to the middle and lower classes. They are well dressed and look good, but their fighting ability is very poor.
Ning Fan saw a large number of granaries at some high places on the island. It was obvious that this island was a place used by pirates to store food.
Knowing that the ship had entered the water, the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army fought particularly bravely, because everyone clearly knew that there was no way out today. If they did not move forward, everyone would die on the vast sea.
Qin Ying took the lead, fighting the pirates at close range, and his armor was dyed red with blood.
Hundreds of armored guards were guarding Ning Fan. They held their shields high and protected Ning Fan tightly. But even so, the pirates also realized that the man surrounded by them was a big shot. Some of them had stronger combat capabilities. Pirates appeared at Ning Fan's location several times.
Fortunately, Ning Fan had a musket with him. Whenever the pirates rushed forward, they were always repelled by Ning Fan's musket. The two sides fought until dusk, and finally no pirates could stand up on the beach.
The Dragon Scale Army's casualties were not large, but there were quite a few injured. As long as Ning Fan was worried, after all, the medicines were all on the big ship, which was already half submerged in water.
If there are not enough medicines, these injured soldiers may not survive the three-day infection period.
After basically wiping out the pirates on the island, Ning Fan did not rest. At this time, the heavy rain came again, and the torches that the soldiers had just lit were extinguished by the heavy rain again.
Ning Fan shouted hoarsely in the heavy rain and ordered the soldiers to start pulling the rope. One end of the thick rope was connected to the root of the ship's mast, and the other side was dragged by thousands of soldiers.
While the ship was not completely stranded on the beach, Ning Fan wanted to take advantage of this moment to drag the ship ashore, where at least the supplies could be removed and there would be opportunities for repairs.
Qin Ying led the soldiers up the mountain, cut a large amount of wood and spread it on the beach, while the remaining soldiers pulled the big ship out of the water little by little. As the big ship began to gradually run aground on the beach, Qin Ying led The logs cut back by people finally worked.
At this time, the logs acted as wheels. With the simultaneous efforts of thousands of people, the big ship was pulled toward the beach little by little. Seeing this scene, Ning Fan finally let out a long breath.
As long as the ship doesn't sink, repairs are just a matter of time.
At this time, Ning Fan only felt a wave of hunger and cold in his body, which made him so weak that he almost fainted. Meanwhile, the royal guards gathered around Ning Fan and walked toward the pirate shack halfway up the mountain.
The soldiers found the houses one after another and stood under the eaves. Although these pirate houses were simple, they were still able to shelter from wind and rain. Everyone took off their armor and began to bandage the wounds to stop the bleeding.
At this time, Qin Ying also began to organize manpower and prepare food. The soldiers had just experienced a big battle. If they did not get food supplements in a short time, I am afraid many of them would not survive.
This night was spent in the cold wind and rain. Ning Fan also saw the power of nature for the first time. Thunder and lightning roared all night over the entire sea. Trees on the island were constantly struck by lightning and were scorched to death. Ignite.
When Ning Fan opened his eyes early the next morning, he felt pain all over his body. His bones seemed to be half broken. Others felt similar to Ning Fan.
Everyone felt like they had narrowly escaped death. After all, what they experienced yesterday was too shocking.
