Chapter one hundred and forty seventh wind and rain

A large number of warships sailed out of the port and rushed to the estuary of the Anduin River. They would look for the small fleet of enemy lures on the vast sea, and then deal a fatal blow to the followers.

Ta Dun's face turned a little blue. Although his physique was strong, it did not mean that he would not be seasick. At this time, he was leaning tightly on a section of the ship's side, and he retching from time to time. Lin, as an assassin, has a good adaptability to the environment, but his condition is not very good. Among the three, Hu Bin is the one who is most suitable for taking the boat. He was a human-season warship drifting on the sea for three days when he was a novice mission, and the small wind and waves in the near sea did not change his color at all.

Because the three men's subordinates were not used to the naval battle, Hu Bin and others stayed in Baicheng and entrusted Boromir to take care of him. They only brought Lorraine alone. With some of his treatments, Ta Dun and Lin were not ashamed of seasickness as they could not get out of bed.

"Hey, novices, do you know how to swim?" General Quentin put down the thick fishing rod in his hand and watched Hu Bin and the other two standing on the boat with interest shaking with the waves.

"No, what's wrong?" Ta Dun looked over with a dying expression.

"Then I need to train you again, so as not to be killed by the enemy in the battle but drowned by the sea water." General Quentin rubbed his hands and said excitedly. The trio, including Hu Bin, who could not swim, felt a sense of conspiracy.

"Help~, Guru Guru~, Help!" The tower shield was tied tightly by several sailors and hung on General Quentin's thick fishing rod, which looked like an oversized earthworm. General Quentin swung the fishing rod hard, and the tower shield drew a graceful arc and fell into the sea. Half a minute later, the tower shield, which had drunk a stomach full of water, was salvaged from the water.

"Puff, you are murder!" As soon as Takun stepped on the deck, he spat out a mouthful of sea water, and then hesitated with hissing.

"I'm helping you master swimming skills." General Quentin said shamelessly, motivating the muscles on his chest.

"Then why do we look like this? Swimming requires hands and feet. Don't they just need to tie a rope around their waists?" Takun arched his body. Hu Bin and Lin in the distance were also learning swimming skills, but it was obviously much more reliable than Takun's method.

"That's because your foundation is too bad, you need to use a quick way to train specifically." Quentin said without blushing, and at the same time, he waved his hand hard again, and the tower shield screamed again and fell into the sea.

"General, there seem to be sharks appearing nearby, doesn't it matter?" the adjutant came over and asked in a low voice.

"I know, I just haven't eaten shark fin for a long time. Such good bait is not easy to find." The general who turned his back to the adjutant took a sip. Then he shouted loudly: "Boy, fight hard and use your perseverance to conquer the sea."

"Help!" Under some unknown force, the tower shield actually swayed his body and could still shout for help.

General Quentin raised his eyebrows and looked at the performance of Tower Shield in surprise. Then he pulled the fishing rod hard, and Tower Shield was dragged into the water again.

General Quentin's special training is still valid. Lin and Hu Bin mastered the primary swimming skills after half a day. Although Hu Bin can use spells that can be used in the water, his skills are too strong. Since he can learn swimming skills, he cannot miss this opportunity.

Under General Quentin's personal training (tutoring) training (teaching), the tower shield finally attracted a shark wandering nearby. The tower shield actually broke out at a critical moment. He broke the rope on his hands and swam back quickly. The tower shield, who was pulled onto the deck by the adjutant, turned around and looked at the shark, and found a steel fork inserted into it. General Quentin was grabbing the rope tied behind the steel fork and pulled it back hard.

"We'll have stewed sharks tonight. Boy, it's a good job. I'll share half of the shark's fins." General Quentin saw that the shark was exhausted. He tied the rope to the wooden stake on one side and waited for the surrounding warships to come forward to capture it. He walked over and patted Tower Shield on the shoulder. Only then did Tower Shield notice that the space prompted that he had won General Quentin's approval and mastered advanced swimming skills. He didn't know whether this experience was lucky or unfortunate.

Hu Bin and the other two spent the first day fulfilling, but at ten o'clock the next morning, a shrill alarm ringtone rang in the fleet.

"What's wrong?" Hu Bin rolled down from his hammock and rushed to the deck, then saw General Quentin looking into the distance with his eyes shining.

"Rookie, go back to the cabin and tie yourself up tightly. The storm is coming!" Quentin left the three people behind him with a raised face with a dangerous excitement in their eyes.

Ta Dun and Lin fled back to the cabin without saying a word, while Hu Bin stayed on the deck.

"Why are you..." General Quentin found that Hu Bin did not follow his advice and went back to the cabin. He was about to scold him, but found that a green light visible to the naked eye appeared around Hu Bin, shining brightly under the night sky, and his feet were as if they were nailed to the deck, not affected by the rise and fall of the hull at all.

"Is the power of the wind? Boy, you are qualified to stand here, but remember to obey my orders, remember to obey absolutely."

Hu Bin smiled slightly, neither agreeing to refuse or not.

Quentin didn't care. He saw the adjutant running towards here and shouted his order: "Order the entire fleet to move closer to the flagship, keep the second-level spacing to form a cone array, start the sail, and accelerate toward the seven-point direction."

"General, this direction is heading towards the storm. Can we go around?" the adjutant said with a discoloration.

"I don't have time to delay here. The little boys in the bait fleet are still waiting for us to respond and execute the order!" Quentin showed the courage that a navy general should have at this time.

The light of the Star of Qi in the distance has dimmed, but the sky is still pitch black. Large areas of dark clouds cover the sea area, and waves are also rising on the originally calm sea surface.

"Haha, I like to take a bath in the storm the most. Put away the second sails and rush in." General Quentin opened his hands and shouted in a slightly crazy voice. After hearing the general's order, the other sailors quickly completed the work in their hands. Then they were infected by the general's madness and looked fearlessly at the sea not far away, which was rolling in the lightning and thunder.

...

"A whirlpool appeared at eight o'clock in front!" The lookout hand on the mast shouted with a silence.

"The left full rudder!" General Quentin shouted in a calm voice.

The order "Left full rudder!" was passed down one after another.

The fleet had only entered this heavy rain area for twenty minutes. But Hu Bin felt that he had walked back and forth several times on the line of life and death. He grabbed the net bag next to him tightly and tried to fix his body. Although the light body technique had increased his mastery of his body a lot, the weight loss was easily lifted out during the sudden ups and downs of the hull.

"Ah!" A sailor took a slash and fell on the deck, then broke through the guardrail on the side of the ship in a bumpy state and fell off the deck. In this situation, he was basically sentenced to death.

A warship not far away seemed to have some problems with the rudder, and the hull suddenly came across, rising and falling under the influence of the waves.

"Sink it!" General Quentin shouted, but found the two sailors next to the crossbows in a daze.

"Didn't you hear my order?" Quentin slapped the crossbowman on the deck, then raised the cannon stand, aimed slightly and fired the cannon arrow. The cannon arrow flew over the deck of the ship, taking away the life of a sailor.

General Quentin gritted his teeth and stared at the loader fiercely, and the sailor immediately handed over a cannon arrow. After seeing the flagship's actions, the other warships opened fire on the warship. With a breaking sound, the severely damaged warship folded in half and sank in a blink of an eye.

General Quentin breathed a sigh of relief. The out-of-control warship almost hit other ships, and if other ships dodged in a hurry, the fleet's formation would probably become more and more chaotic.

"You have been dismissed, go to the confinement room and don't come out. After this operation is over, I will go back to the land." General Quentin mentioned the back of the gunner before and walked towards the adjutant, then waved to Hu Bin and said, "From now on, forget your unreliable military supervisor position, this crossbow belongs to you. Do it well."

Hu Bin rushed to the crossbow on the bow of the ship with several steps, grabbed the hideous war machine firmly with his hands, and then began to stare at the loader with big eyes.

"Ding Ding Ding..." The rapid alarm bell rang, Hu Bin raised his head and let his eyes pass through the baffle of the crossbow. Then he saw a huge wave like a cliff attacking the fleet.

"Full the rudder right, put the bow of the ship facing the direction of the huge waves, fast!" Without General Quentin's order, the helmsman was already rotating the rudder disk to the right as if he was crazy. The speed of the huge waves was very fast. If he did not aim at the bow of the ship in time, the warship might be directly overturned.

Julang finally started to contact the fleet, and in a blink of an eye, he raised the flagship. Hu Bin felt a huge force coming from the deck under his feet. If he hadn't been holding on to the fixture on the crossbow, he might have pushed him into the air at once.

"Damn, the angle of the bow has not been completely adjusted!" The helmsman shouted in despair. At this moment, a warship in front of him was rushed across the hull by a huge wave, and then overturned and sank into the huge wave.

"Low down the main sail!" Seeing that the deflection angle of the bow was gradually increasing, General Quentin appeared next to the helmsman at some point, and held the rudder with him and pulled it hard to the right.

But this still could not stop the hull from slowly deflecting, but fortunately God favored him. When the hull was about to be unable to control it, the warship finally reached the end of the huge wave. The bow of the ship was raised high under the inertia of the huge wave for a period of time, and then suddenly plunged into the water, and then rose under the action of buoyancy, raising a splash of water.

Hu Bin spitted out the sea water in his mouth, and quickly touched his face with his right hand. The ecstasy brought by escaping from death made him giggle.

"Hahahahahaha!" Perhaps driven by Hu Bin, the loaders next to him also laughed, and finally the sailors who developed into the entire ship laughed.

It was noon in the blink of an eye, and the fleet had reached the designated sea area, but the bait fleet did not bring the main pirate force here as promised. A bad feeling arose in the hearts of all the navy. The adjutant repeatedly suggested that General Quentin send some warships to investigate, but they were blocked by the general using the words "believe in them".

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bait fleet still did not appear, and even Hu Bin couldn't sit still. The whole army was wondering if there was a traitor who leaked the plan. However, except for the several senior executives on the flagship, the other commanders on the ship had obtained the plan description later, and it was impossible for anyone to leak it.

"They were just late. The storm may have affected their itinerary. If they detoured, they would probably be three hours late, which would only arrive here at around three o'clock." General Quentin's voice as stable as Mount Tai calmed everyone's anxiety. Then they realized that the previous storm clouds were floating from the direction they were going. The fleet of their own side directly crossed the storm, but the bait troops were not sure. After all, their mission was not to hurry up, but to bring the enemy's main force smoothly.

"It's still early, how about we have a few drinks?" General Quentin said suddenly.

"Please take this battle seriously, General!" The adjutant instantly entered the housekeeper mode.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, without General Quentin's expectations, the figure of the bait fleet appeared on the sea in the horizon. As they advanced towards the predetermined location, a large number of pirate ships followed their butts and drilled into the ambush circle of the Kingdom Navy.

"It's time to close the net. Wait for the signal from the bait troops, and then the whole army rushed forward. I don't want any fish that missed the net. The flag bearer added this sentence to me." Quentin stroked the hilt of the knife around his waist and walked around restlessly. After giving orders to the flag bearer, he stared at the old man, for fear that he would let the flagship rush forward with an impulse.

The bait in the distance slowly slowed down after reaching the designated position and fired a sound arrow. Although the pirate fleet found something wrong, it still rushed towards the bait troops because of the large number of ships. Soon their forward began to exchange fire with the bait fleet.

Quentin had to wait patiently for the encirclement to completely close. Although he wanted to support the bait fleet immediately, this sacrifice was necessary to succeed in this battle.

Fortunately, the squadron, responsible for cutting off the pirates' retreat, was very quick. The arrow signal they sent meant that most of the action plan was successful, and the rest depends on the performance of the navy soldiers.
