Concentricity

Their boats were always heading west, so they got closer and closer to the Japanese boats coming from the west, and they could see all the movements on the other boats clearly.

Mo Jinyan led a few people to hide behind the parapet and shoot the arrows, the effect was very good, and even forced the opponent to retreat for a long time.Although they didn't shoot many arrows, their arrows were precise, and few of them missed, and they stunned the opponent for a while.

The Japanese boat approached for a while, and was forced to retreat a little by the arrows, constantly wandering between advancing and retreating.After a stalemate like this for an hour, the opponent gradually discovered the mystery of their three ships. Only the ships on the two sides were capable of fighting, while the ship in the middle was completely silent.

The pirates began to change their strategy, concentrating all their arrows on the ship in the middle, and they were still rockets stained with fire oil.Although there are nine out of ten chances that they will not land on the ship, but if there are too many, it cannot be ignored.

Mo Jinyan secretly thought that he had miscalculated. If this continues, Chen Pingsheng's boat will be destroyed sooner or later.There were not many kung fu masters on that boat, so Mo Jinyan simply asked Chen Pingsheng to take the oarsmen to row in the cabin, and there was no one on the deck.

Mo Jinyan was anxious, ran to the side of the boat and shouted loudly: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen!"

Chen Pingsheng poked his head out from the oar outlet on the side of the cabin: "What is Xiaoyan?"

Mo Jinyan said: "Brother Chen, take a few people to the deck. A rocket fell on the deck. Try to destroy it. Don't let it burn."

Chen Pingsheng nodded: "OK."

Mo Jinyan hastily added: "Find some nimblers, and be careful to dodge the enemy's flying arrows."

"Got it." Chen Pingsheng retracted his head.

Mo Jinyan was still worried, there wasn't even a cover-up over there, so could he not be worried?

At this time, Chen Liang fired three more ringing arrows into the air.Mo Jinyan clenched his fists. If there were no surprise soldiers from heaven today, it would be difficult for them to retreat today.

He reckoned that Chen Pingsheng's people were already on the deck, so he said to the naval officers and soldiers beside him, "Everyone, hurry up and release the arrows for a while, to cover the brothers' ships, and suppress the pirates so that they don't shoot arrows. "

After speaking, he took the lead and shot an arrow fiercely, and then took the next arrow after shooting.Everyone understood, and all the arrows were fired.Mo Jinyan simply drew two arrows in succession and fired both arrows at the same time.As a result, the opponent was indeed temporarily suppressed, and did not shoot any more arrows.

After a while, Mo Jinyan heard Chen Pingsheng's voice from the boat next door: "Xiaoyan, the rockets have been removed, and the fire has been extinguished."

Mo Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Brother Chen, you go back to the cabin first, come up regularly to check, don't catch fire."

At this time, there was another "boom, bang, bang" drumbeat on Lu Saihu's boat. When Mo Jinyan heard it, he knew it was a signal that someone was injured.Can't help but his complexion darkened, if he continues like this, he might really suffer a lot.

Just at a loss, he suddenly saw an arrow flying towards a companion beside him. He subconsciously blocked it with his bow and knocked the arrow to the ground.

The man broke out in a cold sweat with a cry of "ahhh", and said hastily, "Thank you Mr. Mo for your rescue."

Mo Jinyan shook his head, settled down, and began to draw the bow and shoot arrows again. In any case, it was impossible to admit defeat, and he would not let the pirates succeed if he fought until he was the only one left.Yu Simian's smiling face suddenly flashed across his heart, and he couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart: Brother Yu, I will try my best to go back to see you alive.

At this moment, a long eagle howl suddenly came from the sky, and Mo Jinyan didn't even need to look up, he knew it was Brother Xu who had returned.Since the weather cleared up, Brother Xu immediately abandoned his master and went to find his wife. He has disappeared for several days.

Mo Jinyan didn't see that there was a smaller female eagle that came with Brother Xu, and a group of building boats appeared on the sea below them.

Chen Liang was the first to discover those large boats, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Here we come, here we come, reinforcements are here! The navy fleet has arrived."

These words were heard by Mo Jinyan's ears, and they were as sweet as the sound of heaven. He stopped shooting arrows and looked out from the arrow stack: "Where? Where is it?"

At the other end of the sky, a group of black shadows appeared, five, six, no, eight large ships.Mo Jinyan let go of the tight string in his heart, and sat down on his heels.

Brother Xu let out a roar, and fell straight down from the sky. When he was about to land on the boat, he glided lightly again, turned over nimbly, and landed on Mo Jinyan's arm.

Mo Jinyan was so happy that his throat almost choked, and he couldn't help rubbing Brother Xu's head: "Brother Xu, Brother Yu is right, you are really a lucky star."

Brother Xu raised his head to the sky and yelled loudly. Mo Jinyan looked up and saw that there was another eagle hovering in the sky, which seemed to be Brother Xu's spouse. "Brother Xu, you brought your wife back?" Mo Jinyan smiled and stroked Brother Xu's feathers.

Chen Liang ran to Mo Jinyan's side: "My lord, the Japanese boats are retreating. Shall we chase after them?"

Mo Jinyan hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, the four Japanese boats that had surrounded them all left their original positions at this moment, and fled in a panic towards the northeast. "Chase! Of course we must."

Mo Jinyan stood up, rolled his sleeves and said loudly to the boat next door: "Brother Chen, your boat is on standby, don't follow. Let's go after them, and let them run away now, so my surname will not be Mo!" Let's all put down the arrows, adjust the direction of the sails, row the boats, and catch up with those Japanese boats!"

As he spoke, he ran to the middle of the boat, picked up the drumsticks, and sounded the horn of attack with "dongdongdong".

When Lu Saihu heard the signal, he quickly beat the drums, and the two boats rowed quickly, chasing after the Japanese boat.

The people on the boat were all encouraged, and immediately took their positions, paddled the oars vigorously, and chased after the Japanese boat.

The navy's building boats are smaller and faster than theirs, and when Mo Jinyan's boat catches up with the Japanese boats, the building boats will be closer.

Standing on the boat, Chen Liang looked overjoyed: "My lord, my lord, your lord is here, look quickly, your lord is here!"

Mo Jinyan was vigorously setting up his arrow and drawing the bow, preparing to add an arrow to the tail of the Japanese boat. Hearing what Chen Liang said, he couldn't help but staggered. With a shake of his hand, a good arrow just crossed the deck and landed on the ground. Went in the water. "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you, you are not coaxing me, are you?"

"What am I coaxing you to do? Look, it's on the boat behind us, and he's standing at the bow." Chen Liang held Mo Jinyan, and showed him his finger.

Mo Jinyan looked over with his fingers, and saw a general wearing a silver helmet and black armor standing at the bow of the boat, and asked suspiciously, "Is that Brother Yu?"

Chen Liang laughed: "It's Lord Yu without a doubt, this is his battle robe, I won't admit it wrong. Besides, there is also his battle flag on board."

Mo Jinyan took a closer look, it wasn't true, on the big blue flag fluttering in the wind, there was a big word "Yu" written on it, he couldn't help but smile all over his face: "It's really Brother Yu, that's great." He was excited Get up, run to the drum stand, pick up the drumsticks, and beat them hard.

As if infected by Mo Jinyan, soon, Yu Simian's boat also heard fierce attack drums.

Mo Jinyan turned his head and smiled at the building boat, and said loudly: "Master Yu, first destroy the pirates, and then we will settle the score slowly!"

Yu Simian also laughed and said: "Okay, this general wants to see your skills."

Mo Jinyan took out two arrows, pulled up the Tuomu bow in his hand, and pulled it into the shape of a full moon. He let go of his hand proudly, and the two arrows flew away. Seeing a wobble, the sail fell weakly, and as soon as the sail fell, the speed of the boat slowed down.

Chen Liangzhang clapped his hands and applauded: "My lord, you are good at archery!"

Mo Jinyan clasped his fists and humbly said, "Thank you, thank you!"

At this time, Yu Simian's building boat also chased up and moved forward with Mo Jinyan's boat. He turned his face and looked at Mo Jinyan at the bow of the boat with a smile on his face: "My boy is good at arrows, this general wants to follow you!" Let's try it out." As he said that, he pulled the bow in his hand to ten feet, and with a whoosh, he hit the top of the sail rope of another Japanese boat, and after a while, the sail also fell down.

Mo Jinyan clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is wise, I admire you!"

You must know that the cables that tie the sails are made of twisted bamboo strips, which are extremely tough. If the arrow is not extremely sharp and powerful, it is impossible for an arrow to cut the cables. Yu Simian just chose the most worn part of the top of the cables. , so the sail rope was shot off with one arrow.

Two of the four Japanese ships lost their mainsails, and as soon as they slowed down, they were soon surrounded by Mo Jinyan's ship and the navy's large ships.Mo Jinyan continued to beat the war drum, urging everyone to chase the two Japanese ships that were fleeing in a hurry.Today they joined forces with the army and the people and let the pirates escape. Will they dare to say "suppress the robbers" in the future?

Yu Simian understood, and led two large boats to catch up, chasing all the way, shooting arrows all the way, chasing fiercely and beating hard.

The two ships were finally unable to escape, so they bit the bullet and came to the fight, making a final struggle.Speaking of which, these Japanese boats were also very surprised, they thought that Mo Jinyan would flee like them when they saw the official boat, but instead of fleeing, they joined forces with the officers and soldiers to deal with them.This time I really fell to my grandma's house.

Mo Jinyan and Yu Simian seem to be compared, you shoot an arrow, I shoot an arrow, no one will let the other.It made those Japanese pirates miserable, because their arrows were almost flawless, and every arrow would hit the target accurately.

This military-civilian joint battle was won very smoothly, and the victory was very beautiful, with the greatest victory with the least loss.

After the war.Mo Jinyan lined up the sea boat and the building boat, the sea boat was much taller than the building boat, he put the planks between the two boats so that Yu Simian could come on board.

Yu Simian immediately abandoned the building and was about to board his sea ship, but the soldiers on the building stopped him in fright: "My lord, you can't go up, this is a pirate's ship."

Mo Jinyan stood on the side of the boat and said, "My lords, we are not pirates, we are people with lofty ideals to fight against Japan. I am honored to have your lords' assistance this time, and I am convinced that I am willing to donate all the sea-going ships to serve the imperial court."

Yu Simian turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, I'm going to accept the gift on the boat. If adults are worried, you can come on the boat with me."

His men immediately ordered a group of soldiers to follow the ship.

Mo Jinyan and Yu Simian looked at each other with burning eyes. If there were no outsiders present, they would have jumped on them.

Mo Jinyan tried his best to restrain his emotions, and said very politely: "My lord, please enter the cabin to discuss in detail."

Yu Simian nodded with a smile: "Thank you for leading the way."

Mo Jinyan took the lead, and Yu Simian followed closely behind. The two of them didn't say anything. At this moment, as long as they see each other is safe, it is worth a thousand words.

When entering the cabin, Mo Jinyan went in first, the door of the cabin was a bit narrow, only two people could enter and exit, Yu Simian quickly squeezed Mo Jinyan's hand at the door of the cabin, and said in a low voice: "I miss you so much. "

Mo Jinyan blushed, looked back at Yu Simian, and said angrily, "There are so many people here."

Yu Simian rubbed his nose and laughed twice.Don't make out when there are people, so let's wait until there is no one.

Not long after, Lu Saihu also came over from another ship, Mo Jinyan was just a middle-aged man in this matter, and the specific situation had to be discussed in detail by Lu Erdang and Yu Simian.

Lu Saihu has followed Guan Longfei all the year round, traveling all over the world. He is a shrewd businessman, and he wants to get the best benefits for himself and the Guan family.

Lu Saihu made it clear that the Guan family would donate all the sea ships and 10 taels of silver, and the imperial court would seal Guan Longfei as a general of Wuyi, and Guan Longfei would lead all the Guan family's children to obey the imperial court's dispatch.

Mo Jinyan was in a cold sweat listening to it, and felt that Lu Saihu's request was a bit too much. General Wuyi was a fifth-rank official, one rank higher than Baihu.

Yu Simian was very calm, as if the other party's request was in his expectation, he nodded and said: "Your request is really reasonable. I considered it when I was preparing to recruit, but officials from the fifth rank and above have to report to the imperial court. Officials of the fifth grade and below can be appointed by the local chief secretary, and they only need to report to the court. Today, the military strategy is strong, the national power is at its peak, especially the temperament is uncertain, and it is necessary to report to the court. There are quite a lot of variables in the imperial court. Do you want to be a fifth-rank general Wuyi, or a sixth-rank captain Zhaoxin?"

Yu Simian did not directly negotiate with Lu Saihu in an orderly tone, he just analyzed all the advantages and disadvantages to him and let him choose by himself.Appointing a Zhaoxin school lieutenant only needs the consent of the commander of the capital, and the commander of the capital, Si Jiangcheng, is his uncle, so it is not difficult to do this.If General Wuyi is appointed, the procedure will be complicated and there are too many variables, Yu Simian doesn't want to take this risk, it will not be good for Xiao Mo and Nie Yun.

Lu Saihu is a businessman, so he will naturally weigh the pros and cons, seek good luck and avoid bad luck: "In this case, I need to discuss it with my elder brother."

Yu Simian nodded and said, "Yes. I will trouble you to bring the rest of the ships back by yourself. I will send two people from hundreds of households to help take over."

Lu Saihu glanced at Mo Jinyan, thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go in person." Although he wanted to meet with Guan Longfei as soon as possible to confirm more details, he felt that he should go to Dongfan to pick him up first family members as well.

Mo Jinyan originally wanted to volunteer to pick him up, but Yu Simian stopped him with a look.This is all a matter of the Guan family, and Mo Jinyan will pick it up in the future, so he doesn't need to get involved anymore, Yu Simian wished this was the case, why would he let Mo Jinyan run errands.What's more, he was scared out of his wits after running this trip, how could he let him go to risk again.
