A knife in love

Chapter 3055

The boss of the boat ordered several boatmen to turn the sails and rudder, and kept turning the bow. Although they managed to avoid the flying shells, they were terrified and sweat dripped from their foreheads.After hearing Ding Guan's loud questioning, the boss of the boat changed his timid appearance in front of Ding Guan before, and said in a rough voice: "The Songtian family will never let us go! Before we left the Songtianyan Island pier, the Songtian family quietly Sent two warships here, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net! After we got here, we could only sail in circles on the sea because we could only sail into the pier after dark. I think these two warships got impatient and rushed head-on Come over and bombard our big ship with cannons, trying to wipe us out."

After Ding Guan heard the boss of the boat finished speaking, his face became paler, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a while.Seeing Ding Guan's panic, Li Qiufeng knew that he was in such a mess that he couldn't even speak, and he couldn't think of any way to discuss with him, so it's better to let the boss of the boat think of a way to escape.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng ignored Ding Guan, turned his head and said to the boss of the boat: "How to get out of trouble, please give me an idea."

Seeing Li Qiufeng's sincerity, the boss of the boat took a deep breath and said to Li Qiufeng: "There is no way, but if it is said, both the villain and Uncle Ding will become imperial court prisoners, and the end will be extremely miserable." .”

Having said this, the boss of the boat took a look at Li Qiufeng, and then continued: "However, it is a critical moment of life and death, and the villain can't take care of much, so I dare to ask the adult to be a guarantee for the villain. If we can escape this difficulty, we will wait After returning to the Central Plains, the imperial court must be spared the crime of the villain!"

Hearing what the boat boss said, Li Qiufeng was really puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, with a look of surprise on his face.Ding Guan hurriedly said to the boat boss: "This matter is my idea, and it has nothing to do with you. If the court blames me in the future, I will bear it!"

When Ding Guan said this, seeing the boss of the boat was about to speak, he waved to him hurriedly, motioning him not to say more, then turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "To tell you the truth, Ding secretly hid himself on the boat just in case. Two cannons. Uncle Li is on duty in Jinyiwei, so he naturally knows the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If it is not for the imperial navy and warships, anyone who dares to hide cannons on board is regarded as treason, and it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans. Now the enemy is pressing every step of the way. We only An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and cannons to blow up the enemy's warships. But in doing so, I have committed a capital crime..."

Before Ding Guan finished speaking, Li Qiufeng rushed to say: "Don't worry, Mr. Ding, Li will never report this matter to Master Yang and Master Xu."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Ding Guan and the boss of the boat couldn't help but looked at each other with a strange expression, as if he was relieved.Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Li Qiufeng's heart trembled. He thought to himself that these two guys have been doing business together at sea for many years. I'm afraid that many people will not agree with each other. We have to be on guard against someone cheating on them. How could they not play tricks on the ship?Presumably they hid cannons on board, not only to guard against bandits, but maybe they also used cannons to deal with the merchants who did business with them.But how they get rich has nothing to do with me, as long as they can defeat the enemy, let them do whatever they want.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng continued: "It's just that Mr. Ding only brought a few servants with him this time, and the bodyguards he invited are all bandits, and we have already eliminated them. In this way, I am afraid that no one knows how to fire cannons." .”

As soon as Li Qiufeng finished his sentence, Ding Guan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. The boat boss and his boatman know how to handle the cannon. As long as Mr. Li doesn't let this matter out, we will be able to destroy the enemy's warship." Blow up!"

After Ding Guan finished speaking, without waiting for Li Qiufeng to speak, he turned his head and said sharply to the boss of the ship: "What are you waiting for?! Send people to the cabin to fire cannons and blow up the enemy's warship! Otherwise, our ship will be destroyed. Sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the bastard!"

The boss of the boat got impatient for a long time. Hearing what Ding Guan said, he turned his head and gave orders repeatedly, and the four boatmen rushed into the cabin like a swarm of bees.The captain of the boat and the remaining two boatmen turned the sails and bow of the boat to deal with the two enemy warships.Although the two warships fired three more shells, none of them hit the big ship.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but praise the boss of the boat for his unparalleled sailing skills.The boss of the ship gave a wry smile, and said: "Uncle Li's praise, how dare the villain take the credit? Just now the two warships suddenly launched an attack, but the villain didn't notice for a while, and let these bastards succeed, and the port side of the ship was hit by a cannon. Fortunately, the damage to the hull was not serious, and the blast hole was more than two feet above the sea water, so that the seawater would not flow into the boat. After we defeat the enemy, it will not be too late to repair the hull."

Hearing what the boss of the ship said, Li Qiufeng thought to himself why Miss Murong and I were in such a mess in the cabin just now. It turned out that the big ship had already been hit by the cannons from the enemy warship. Fortunately, the big ship was built very solidly, so there was no catastrophe.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud "bang", and the big ship shook suddenly.Li Qiufeng was taken aback, thinking that the big ship was hit by the enemy's cannon again, and was about to turn around to protect Murong Danyan, but found a firework emanating from the left front of the big ship, and then a ball of fire flew out, heading straight towards Wuliu. The enemy warship ten feet away flew past.Only then did Li Qiufeng know that several boatmen had already fired cannons to attack the enemy. He thought to himself that I lived on the big boat for more than half a month, and I didn't even know that there were cannons hidden on the boat.

After the shell flew out of the big ship, it flew straight towards the enemy's warship.The two warships didn't expect that there were cannons hidden on the big ship, and suddenly they saw the cannonballs flying towards them. Everyone on board was scared out of their wits, and it was too late to turn the bow of the ship to avoid it.Seeing that the fireball was seven or eight feet away from a warship, more than a dozen people on the warship jumped into the sea one after another.A moment later, there was a loud bang, and the shell hit the warship, blowing the warship to pieces immediately, and a few figures could be vaguely seen flying into the air amidst the fireworks. The situation was quite astonishing.

Li Qiufeng, Ding Guan, and the boss of the boat were overjoyed when they saw the enemy's warship being torn apart by shells, and clapped their hands one after another.At this time, Murong Danyan had already rushed to Li Qiufeng's side, seeing the power of the cannon, he was both surprised and happy, and almost exclaimed.

At this moment, there was another loud bang, and the big ship shook suddenly, and a fireball flew out of the left bow hull of the big ship, and flew towards another warship.The warship was turning its bow to try to escape, but the artillery shells were coming very fast. Just as the warship turned to the east, the artillery shells had already hit the stern.Li Qiufeng and the others saw the warship burst into flames and was blown to pieces in an instant, and their hearts became more and more joyful.
