Chapter 194: The lighthouse news gunboat is out

The tide of the shore is covered with spring light, and people come and go to the bridge. Thousands of sails are shadowing, one is in Zhejiang and Hangzhou, and the other is in Hunan. The fish are getting warmer in the Tong'an River, and the sea defense lights in Luzhou are not cool. The blue sky is blue and blue, and the clouds are floating, and the ZTE gunboats are ringing for the first time.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan started to build in spring again, the lighthouse built in Luzhou finally played its due role.

On the farthest lighthouse, the person in charge of guarding the tower saw a boat chasing the fugitive. From the eyes of Qianli, the boat running in front was holding the Tang Dynasty flag, and there was no sign behind.

While sending signals to the patrol boat, he guided the three small boats running away in front.

The escaped boat was much smaller than the chasing boat. I don’t know where the three boats learned from. They were all spinnakers, and they were drawn with words when they were walking against the wind.

The boat chasing was a sail. At this time, the sail had fallen. With only manpower, the two rows of ships maintained a certain distance under such circumstances. The boat could not run fast even if it wanted to run. The boat behind wanted to chase but couldn't catch up, but there was no intention of giving up.

Perhaps the goal of the lighthouse during the day was too small and could not be seen from a distance. The running boat was in the right direction, but it deviated as it ran. The boat chasing behind did not find a lighthouse here, and was still trying hard to get closer.

As fireworks rising from the lighthouse passed, the three small boats quickly adjusted their direction.

"You are watching here, I fight with them. If I die, you will detonate the ** in the lighthouse that wants to be left for the patrol ship. Luzhou Commercial Bank will avenge us."

The man who was sleeping hurriedly put on a piece of clothing, threw down the words, ran down the stairs, and kicked out the crossbow with wheels in the warehouse below.

There are twelve arrow positions on the crossbow chariot, each of which is four feet and three inches long, and is made of fine iron, which is a weapon that exceeds the rules, but no one will run so far to investigate.

Arrows were placed one by one, and the strings were twisted by shaking the handle. When you could directly see three heads on the boat with your eyes, all the twelve arrows were in place.

The person who went down the lighthouse regardless of the soft arms of the strings, spitted on his hands, and said a few times, "Go to my mother's land, I usually say that Xin Xiao is timid and timid. Today I will kill someone and run away, and I will catch up. No, I have to block the crossbow cart. People should be prepared to see it. My mother, it is still the lucrative spirit of the Luzhou Commercial Bank, and he actually equipped the crossbow cart for the lighthouse."

He shouted to the ship running over the sea while talking to himself. Regardless of whether he could hear it, Xin Xiaoying found a canvas to block the cold arrow of the crossbow. It seemed that he was determined to be a ghost.

The people on the three boats did not hear his shouts, but they saw the lighthouse, which was the first time they came. They used to hear that the lighthouse here was good, and they could still go to the lighthouse to rest when they were tired of fishing. Anyone who sold fish to the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce had excellent wine and food, and needed to carry the transaction certificate.

The people on the boat didn't know how strong the force was in the lighthouse, but after all, this was a place to rest. Moreover, the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce was better than running alone on the sea. If you crawl in and block the door, you could withstand it for a while.

The people on the three small boats had no time to adjust their positions to land, so they just ran off the reef or beach. People ran down one after another, and the boat didn't care about it, and there was no time to pay attention to the things on the boat. There was no such thing as having to take it down for a little harvest.

Ten people jumped down from the three small boats. They thought they were saved and were disappointed when they saw the high ground on the shore, which was piled with reefs, leaning there alone.

"Come in and block the door, they are coming soon." One of the ten young men shouted anxiously to the people on the high ground.

The five ships chasing behind were indeed not far away. They would probably be able to get ashore in less than half a quarter of an hour. It was still time to block the door under the lighthouse at this moment, but the people standing there were unmoved at all. They turned their heads and looked at the ten people and shouted:

"You guys go in and block the door. Don't worry about me. I'll let them see the power. I'll climb up later. There's a bow on the top. For you, run away."

Ten people looked up at the lighthouse. Sure enough, a rope was passed down from it. Then they turned around and glanced at the boat they were chasing. They didn't plan to wait with this careless person. They ran to the lighthouse one by one and piled up the bottom layer of debris at the door. What made them regret was that the lighthouse had only an entrance but no door.

The five chasing ships had slowed down at this time. Seeing the lighthouse making a choice, it was a problem whether they could go up or not.

As hesitated, the ship got closer and closer to the shore. The people on the ship picked up the javelin and prepared to fly down the person standing on the high ground after a distance.

The javelin was almost at range, not to mention the crossbow. In order not to miss the shooting, Xin Xiaoying waited and waited. Although he had never killed anyone, he had practiced a lot in the past, but at that time he used a wooden arrow rod with an iron head, and shot it into the sea, and then fished it up after it was shot.

Now using an arrow full of iron, he estimated that the section in front was similar to that of the wood, and might just fly farther behind it. He lifted the blocking canvas, stood behind the arrow on the far left, and prepared to shoot alone, aimed a little, moved the mount, and rushed out with a buzzing sound.

Before the people on the boat were able to react, they felt the cool breeze sweeping over their heads, and a puff sound came from behind. When they were stunned for no reason, the second arrow also shot over, and then it did not shoot into the water, but into the boat.

With a click, the board at the bottom of the ship was shot through, leaving a large hole, and holes were cracked around the hole, and sea water gushed out of the hole.

The third arrow followed again. This arrow may not be standard when it was done. It was farther away. It reached a reef in front of the side. Half of the arrow went in, and the other half buzzed and trembled.

The people who got off the boat finally knew what was flying over one by one. If this thing was stuck on the body...

"Run quickly, block the leaking area, hurry up." The person on the boat who was shot reacted and shouted at the top of his throat.

In fact, he no longer needs to call him. Others are turning around, and the person who wants to fly the spear has stopped this thought. The consequences of the spear in his hand fighting against that kind of thing are very serious.

The five ships began to turn at the fastest speed. Only then did they regret that they shouldn't have rushed so close just now. It was the first time I found that the ship that usually thought it was very fast to turn around was too slow today.

They wanted to run away, but Xin Xiaoqian didn't plan to let them go so easily. None of them shot out of three arrows, and no one could leave two people behind. Others should laugh at themselves again.

He put his hand at the checkpoint of the fourth arrow and carefully aimed at launch. He was not afraid that the opponent would run away the twelve arrows had not been fired yet. This was a crossbow. I was so close that I wanted to run out of range? It was too late.

The ten rescued people had climbed to the top floor at this moment and looked down at the window without windows. They were ready for battle, but they didn't expect that the five ships were scared away. They had never seen such a crossbow truck used specifically to attack and defend the city, and they looked at the big thing in confusion.

"Now, they don't have to worry about being caught by them after they leave." One of the ten people hugged a package tightly in his arms and said breathlessly.

"Run? You can't run. I'm so timid. Stop shooting. Save some arrows. One arrow is a lot of money. Remember to take it back. I won't be able to salvage it with you. I'll tie a rope with a magnet. I may not be able to find it if I catch it for a day. The patrol boat has arrived. If you shoot again, I will report you."

The person who left the tower guard looked at the east first, which was the direction of the patrol boat coming. After seeing the shadow of a ship, he shouted to Xin Xiaozi below.

Xin Xiaoqi took down the remaining crossbow arrows in disappointment, and muttered dissatisfiedly while putting the crossbow Xiankong, "Am I timid? I'm ready to sacrifice. There are only nine arrows left. Not every one can be shot. There are so many people on the five boats, what are you afraid of if you die? You can chop me into meat sauce when you rush up."

While the two tower guards were waiting, when the ten people who dodged were exhausted, the patrol boat rushed over with the wind and sailed. From that speed, it can be seen that not only the sails, but also the human propeller behind it was running at full capacity.

The people guarding the tower uttered two flags. Before the patrol boat stopped, they rushed towards the five ships that had just left the range of the crossbow truck and were about to think of a way to get up again.

"Don't worry, they can't escape. They still want to run away after they get into trouble? Let's talk about where your family lives, just report their hometown."

The man standing on the tower asked, patting the shoulders of the ten oldest men.

"Do you have to collect money? I had known that I would have tried to do a business with people from Luzhou Commercial Bank." The person who was photographed said, and began to consider how much money he would have to pay this time. But he specially transferred a large ship to him, how much would it cost.

"There is no receipt? Then it costs money to eat. It is cheapest to eat fish, and it is expensive to eat pork or vegetables. If you want to eat fruit, the price will be higher."

The man guarding the tower took out a chapter from the side, which all said the price of the meal. Regardless of whether the person knew the words or not, he handed it to the nearest introduction.

Ten people didn't care about what to eat, and it was a great favor to survive. The person holding the package in his arms asked nervously: "How much does it cost to transfer a ship? And the big guy who scared others away just now, we can't take it out if there are too many."

As he spoke, he hugged the wrap in his arms tighter.

"Then we must first see if the flags you are hanging are fake. If you don't have money, you will work hard labor."

"It's not fake. We are all from this dynasty. Can this be cheap?"

"Yeah, it's cheap. Is it really a person from the Tang Dynasty? Report your hometown, press your handprints after searching, and it's easy to reimburse. Don't cover it. No one robs you. How much money can you sell for your treasures? The Luzhou Chamber of Commerce may not be able to like it." The person guarding the tower said unhappily when he saw that the man was still looking defensive.

But this person refused to relax, "You haven't said how much the people in the Tang Dynasty cost."

"No money, be careful. Remember to thank the court first, and then Luzhou Chamber of Commerce. The boat arrived so quickly today, and I thought I would have to wait half an hour before I could come here. Take a look at the recipe and eat something? The one below is the least courageous one, a chef, who has been trained in Haiyunjian, you are lucky."

The people who guarded the tower started to write down the days, wrote down what happened today, and took them back to the chamber of commerce to bookmark the people.

The ten people were relieved now. They didn't expect that the transfer of the ship would cost money, but they absolutely did not believe that the person below was timid. When they watched it just now, they were so majestic, especially the slightly messy hair that was blown by the wind, giving people a look of standing proudly in the wind.

But they still couldn't figure out why they didn't have to take money.

"That... really doesn't cost money? There must be a reason, right?" The person carrying a bag still wanted to confirm.

"Why are you so stupid? The people of the Tang Dynasty don't want money. Do you usually pay the fishing tax? Just pay it. The money for the transfer of the ship will be paid from this tax, and then the Chamber of Commerce settles the accounts with the court." The person guarding the tower had to explain to others. In fact, he knew that the court would not give the money. The Chamber of Commerce paid it by itself and even shouted to the court.

"But the tax we pay can't be transferred once every ten years."

"That's two different things. They are the people of the Tang Dynasty. If you pay taxes, you have to protect you. It is a right for those who can pay taxes to be protected. People who cannot pay taxes to be protected are a welfare. You can't understand it even if you tell me. You know, you don't have to take money. It's hard to eat. What should I eat? Hurry up, I'll go up if I don't eat, I'll go to bed."

The person guarding the tower said with a little dissatisfaction when he saw that the other party had asked endlessly.

Ten people dared not offend the other party. They should be the most prestigious person. They pointed to a line of words on the recipe and asked, "What is this?"

"Sauerkraut seafood pot is cheap. If you have something from the sea on your boat, you can just take it up. The sauerkraut comes with oil and seasonings. It will charge you twenty cents."

The tower guard looked at the word and said.

"Twenty Months?" Obviously, some people can't bear the price.

"I'll give you a hundred cents now. You go and find me pickled vegetables. I want as much as I have. Ten people have a whopping one person for two cents."

As the few people talked, the patrol boat had already caught up with the five ships that had found something bad and fled again. They said they were patrol boats, but they were actually gunboats that had just been launched. They were preparing to experiment here. If they encountered something, they would be able to get involved.

There are sixteen large bronze cannons on the ship, eight on the left and right, twisters are stuffed in the back, gunpowder and iron balls are set in front, and there is no accurate head. After a shot, you have to clean the barrel. It is good to be able to shoot two cannons in a quarter of an hour.

But even so, many people are full of hope for this new weapon. The iron ball can fly two miles away. After hitting eight gates, they will be eight shots in another direction. At such a long distance, other ships have no counterattack means at all. If they are hit twice, it will be easy to sink.

If you launch a few more times and the mast is broken by luck, the ship will wait for death. At this time, it is common for naval battles and chasing each other for several days. It is not like Xiaobao and Juanjuan's torpedoes were drilling indiscriminately and missiles were flying all over the sky.

The five escaped ships were not because they knew they had cannons, but compared them by size. The big ship, when they hit, the small boat broke, and there were some crossbowmen on it. They shot several rounds from a high place, and they all became hedgehogs.

"Run, see where you can run. The boat is a little smaller and it is not easy to hit. Try running, turn left and load the bullet." With the commander's order, the gunboat slowly adjusted its position. With the order of ignition, the eight cannons fired eight shells in the smoke and loud bang.
