Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 569

[Chapter 194 The Lighthouse Announces the Gunboat Out]

The tide water on the dog’s bank is plated with spring rice, and people come and go to the bridge to make thousands of sails and cooks.

The fish in the Tong’an River are getting warmer, but the lights in Luzhou’s coastal defense are not cold.

The blue sky, blue waves and floating clouds, the ZTE gunboats sounded at first.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy with spring construction again, the lighthouse built in Luzhou finally played its due role.

Above the farthest lighthouse, the person responsible for guarding the tower saw that the boat was chasing and fleeing. From the clairvoyance, the boat that fled before was carrying the flag of the Tang Dynasty, and there was no sign behind it.

While signaling the patrol boat, guide the three escaping boats ahead.

The escaping boat was a lot smaller than the chasing boat, and I don’t know where the three boats came from. They were all jibs, and when they were heading against the wind, the word “Z.” was drawn. The

chasing boat was a straight The sail, at this time the sail has fallen, and only relying on manpower to oar, the two boats have maintained a certain distance under such conditions. The boat can’t run fast even if it wants to run. It means. Maybe the target of the lighthouse is too invisible during the day. The boat was running in the right direction. As a result, it deviates while running. The boat chasing behind also didn’t realize that there is a lighthouse here, and it is still there. Trying hard to get closer.

With the sound of the fireworks rising from the lighthouse, the three small boats quickly adjusted their direction.

“You watch here, I fought with them, if I die, you will detonate the lighthouse to stay. For the explosives given to the patrol boat, the Luzhou Firm will avenge us.

The

man who got up from his sleep hurriedly put on a piece of clothes. Leaving a sentence, he ran down the stairs and kicked out the ballista with reels in the warehouse below. There are

twelve ballistas. Arrow positions, each arrow is long Four feet three inches, made of fine iron, it is a weapon of overkill. It’s just that no one would go so far to investigate.

One by one arrows were put on the dagger, and the strings were twisted through the crank handle. When I saw the three leading boaters, all twelve arrows were already in place. Those who got

off the lighthouse ignored their sore arms when they were twisting the strings. They spat on their hands and rubbed them a few times.

“Go to the mother’s land, I usually say “Xin Xiaotian.

Dare to kill someone today to see and run.

If I want to catch up, if I can’t, I have to block the ballista, so that people can see that it’s time to take precautions, mother land, or Luzhou Commercial Firm’s arrogance, even equipped the lighthouse with ballista.

In his own words, he shouted to the

boats running over from the sea, and regardless of whether people could hear it or not, Xin Xiao timidly found a piece of flag cloth to block the cold arrow of the ballista. People.

The people on the three small boats did not hear his shouts,

but they saw the lighthouse. It was their first time here. I always heard that the lighthouse here is good. Anyone who sells fish and shellfish to the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce will have free drinks and meals, and they need to hold a transaction certificate.

The people on the boat do not know how strong the military support is in the lighthouse, but after all, this is a place to rest. What’s more, belonging to the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce is better than running alone at sea, getting in and blocking the door. It can also resist for a while.

The people on the three small boats didn’t have time to adjust their positions to land, and they just ran aground on the reef or on the beach. People ran down one after another, but the boat didn’t care. The things on the boat didn’t have time to pay attention to. There was no such thing as having to carry it down for the sake of a little gain.

Ten people jumped down from the three small boats. They thought they were saved. He was disappointed again when he was leaning on the high ground piled with rocks on the shore.

“Go in and block the door, they will come right away.

“A young man among the ten people shouted anxiously to the people on the high ground.

The five boats chasing behind are indeed not far away. It is estimated that they will be able to go ashore in less than half a quarter of an hour. It was too late to block the door under the lighthouse, but the people standing there were unmoved, turned to look at the ten people and shouted,

“Go in and block the door.

Don’t worry about me, I’ll let them see how powerful it is, and I’ll climb up later, there’s a bow at the top.

Use it for you, run away.

”

Ten people looked up at the lighthouse, and sure enough, a rope came down from it. Then they glanced back at the chasing boat. They didn’t intend to wait with this heartless person. It was piled up at the door, and they regretted that the lighthouse had only a mouth and no door.

The five chasing boats had slowed down by this time.

Watching the lighthouse make a choice, to go or not to go, that is the question.

After hesitating, the boat got closer and closer to the shore.

The people on the boat picked up the javelin, and were ready to fly down the man standing on the high ground when they were far away.

The javelin was about to reach its range, not to mention the car crossbow. In order not to miss the shot, Xin Xiao timidly waited and waited. Even though he had never killed anyone, he had practiced a lot in the past, but he used it at that time. It is a wooden arrow shaft with an iron head, shot into the sea, and then fished up after shooting.

Now using an all-iron arrow, he estimated that the front section was similar to the wooden one, and the back might just fly farther. He lifted the blocking canvas and stood behind the leftmost arrow, ready to shoot a single shot.

After taking a few glances, the bayonet was moved, and the arrow rushed out with a humming sound.

Before the person on the boat was ready to use the javelin, he felt the cool breeze blowing over his head.

There was a popping sound from behind, and at the moment when they didn’t know what to do, the second arrow also shot over, this time it didn’t hit the water, but hit the boat.

With a click, the board at the bottom of the boat was shot through.

A large hole was left, and the places around the hole were also cracked, and the seawater gushed out from the hole.

The third arrow followed. This arrow may not have been done standardly. It was far away, and it reached a reef in front of the side. Half of the whole arrow went in, and the other half hummed and trembled.

The people who got off the boat finally knew what things were flying over one by one. If this thing stuck on their bodies, would they?

“Run quickly, plug the leaks, hurry up.” The people on the boat who were shot reacted.

Yelling loudly.

In fact, there is no need for him to call. Others are turning their heads. Those who want to fly the spear have also stopped thinking about it. The consequences of confronting the spear in his hand with that kind of thing are very serious.

The five boats began to turn at the fastest possible degrees.

At this time, they regretted that they should not have rushed so close just now, and it was the first time that the ship that usually turned around quickly was too slow today.

They wanted to run away, but Xin Xiaotian didn’t plan to let them go so easily. The three arrows didn’t hit a single person. If there were no more two people left, others should laugh at him again.

He put his hand on the bayonet of the fourth arrow.

Aiming carefully and preparing to shoot, he was not afraid that the opponent would run away and the twelve arrows had not been shot yet. This is a ballista, so close, do you want to run out of range?

late.

The ten rescued people have now climbed to the top floor, clinging to the windowless window and looking down. They were ready to fight, but they didn’t expect the five ships to be scared away. He, the ballista used by the city and defending the city, looked at the big thing arrogantly.

“Okay now, they don’t have to worry about being caught by them after they leave.” One of the ten people, who was holding a package tightly in his arms, said with a long breath.

“Run? Those who can’t run, don’t shoot. Save some arrows, an arrow is a lot of money, remember to take it back, I won’t salvage it with you, get a magnet and tie a rope, you may not be able to find it after a day of fishing. , the patrol boat has come, if you shoot again, I will report you.”

The person who left the tower guard looked east first.

There is the direction from which the patrol boat came. After seeing the shadow of a boat, he shouted to Xin Xiao timidly below.

Xin Xiao timidly took down the remaining crossbow arrows, and muttered dissatisfiedly as he put the crossbow strings in the air, “Am I timid? I am ready to sacrifice, and there are only nine arrows left, not every one. One can hit one, there are so many people on five boats. What are you afraid of dying? If you rush up, you can turn me into meat sauce.”

While the two tower guards were waiting, the one who was hiding in Feng Ge felt that When he was completely exhausted, the patrol boat rushed over with full sails downwind. From that angle, it could be seen that not only the sails were full, but the human propellers behind were also running at full capacity.

The tower guards waved the semaphore twice, and before the patrol boat stopped, it rushed towards the five boats that had just left the ballista’s range and were about to find a way to get up again.

“Don’t worry, they can’t run away, and they still want to run after the trouble? Now tell me, where does your family live? It’s the person who reported his place of origin and

stood on the tower and took a picture of the oldest person among the ten people. Shoulder asked.

“Do I have to collect money?

I knew that I had tried to make a deal with the people from Luzhou Commercial Bank before, and the person who was photographed said that, and started to calculate how much money I would take out this time. what.

“There is no receipt? Then you will pay for the meal. Fish is the cheapest, pork or green vegetables are more expensive. If you want to eat fruit, the higher-priced

tower guard will take out a chapter from the side. It reads It’s all about the price of the food, and it doesn’t matter whether people know how to read or not, they will be introduced to them.

The ten people don’t care about what they eat. It’s a great blessing to survive, and the person holding the package in his arms asks nervously. Said: “How much does it cost to transfer a ship?

And the big guy who scare others away just now, when we couldn’t

speak out, he hugged the package in his arms even tighter.

“Then you have to see if the flags you hang are fake. If you don’t have money, you will work as a coolie.”

“It’s not fake, we are all from this dynasty. Is this cheap?

” People from the Tang Dynasty? Report your place of origin, and press your fingerprints after searching. It’s good for reimbursement. Don’t cover it, no one will rob it. How much can you sell your precious things? Luzhou Chamber of Commerce may not be able to see it.” Keeping the tower The person who saw that person still looked defensive.

said unhappily.

But this person refused to relax. “You haven’t said how much the people of the Tang Dynasty cost.”

“Be careful when you don’t spend money. Remember to thank the court first, and then the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce. The ship came so fast today, I thought I would have to wait. I can only come over in the first half an hour, take a good look at the recipe, and what to eat? The least timid one below is a cook, and Hai Yunjianpei has scraped it, so you are blessed.

” Write it down and bring it back to the Chamber of Commerce for registration when the shift is handed over.

The ten people were relieved now. They didn’t expect to transfer a boat for no money, but they absolutely couldn’t believe that the man below had the guts to look at it just now, but he was quite imposing, especially his slightly messy head was blown by the wind. posture.

Gives a kind of arrogant and unstoppable look.

They still can’t figure out why they don’t need to take money.

“That” really doesn’t want money?

There must be a reason, right?

“The person with the bag still wants to confirm.

“Why are you so stupid?”

The people of Datang don’t want money. Do you usually pay fishing tax?

The payment is right, the money for the transfer of the ship is taken out of this tax, and then the Chamber of Commerce settles accounts with the court.

“The tower guard had to explain it to others. In fact, he knew that the court would not give this money. The chamber of commerce would pay for it, and they had to tell the court well.

“But the tax we pay can’t be adjusted once every ten years .”

That big ship.

”

That’s two different things. You are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. After you pay taxes, you must be protected. Those who can pay taxes are protected as rights, and those who can’t pay taxes are protected as welfare. I can’t say no to you.” Understood, you know you don’t need to take the money, you need to work hard.

what to eat?

Hurry up, I’m going up without eating, and the timid is going to sleep.

The

tower guard saw that the other party kept asking questions, and said with a slight dissatisfaction.

Ten people didn’t dare to offend the other party, they should be the most authoritative people, pointing to a line of words on the recipe and asking, “What is this?

”

The sauerkraut seafood pot is cheap. If you have anything from the sea on your boat, bring it up directly. The sauerkraut, oil and seasonings are produced here, and you will be charged 20 cents.”

“The

tower guard looked at Nazhuo and said.

“Twenty words?”

“Obviously some people can’t bear the price.

“I’ll give you one hundred cents now. You go and find me sauerkraut. I want as much as I want. Ten people can spend two cents

per person and a few people can talk. The patrol boat has already After catching up with the five ships that ran away again, they said they were patrol boats, but they were actually gunboats that had just been launched. They were about to go here to experiment, and they happened to intervene.

There are sixteen large bronze cannons on the ship, eight on the left and right, with a screw in the back, and gunpowder and iron balls in the front.

com doesn’t have any accurate heads, and after one hit, you have to brush the gun barrel.

Two shots in a quarter of an hour is not enough.

But even so, many people are full of hope for this new weapon. The iron ball can fly two miles away. After hitting the eight gates, it changes direction and it is eight. At such a long distance, other ships have no counterattack at all. The means, if you are smashed twice, it will be easy to sink.

If you shoot a few more times and you are lucky enough to break the mast, then the ship will die, and then there will be a naval battle.

Chasing and attacking each other for a few days is normal.

It wasn’t that Xiaobao and Juanjuan were torpedoes at that time.

Missiles flying all over the sky.

The five escaped boats were not because they knew they had cannons. They were compared according to their size. The big boat collided, and the small boat was broken. There were some bowmen on it, and they shot a few rounds from the top, and they all turned into hedgehogs.

“Let’s run, see where we can go, the boat is too small, it’s not easy to hit, try running, turn the rudder to the left, reload the gunboat. Ordered, the eight cannons fired eight cannonballs amid the smoke and loud noise. As the

water column rose, the five people on the small boat that had escaped looked at the surrounding situation, and stopped the boat very actively, kneeling there one by one. Don’t dare to move.
