Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 127 Naval Battle (seeking monthly pass)

In the early morning, Ah Yue came to deliver lychees to Sun Xiangfu as usual, because Sun Xiangfu would praise her every time he delivered lychees these days, and would take her to the patient camp to see her father.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know how a six or seven-year-old girl climbed up a tall lychee tree to pick lychees. Thinking about it, she also suffered a lot.

Today, Sun Xiangfu saw that a large piece of her linen skirt was torn, which must have been hung by a tree branch, so he turned and went back to the house, cut a piece of silk cloth, and wanted to help her make a simple dress, anyway, Lingnan The common people in Xia Tian wear very little on their bodies, and many children like her are still running around with bare buttocks.

When Sun Xiangfu was about to put on new clothes for Ah Yue, he realized that the little girl's body under the torn linen dress was actually thin and skinny, and there were many bruises.

"Did you fall while climbing a tree to pick lychees?"

"I don't hurt."

Ah Yue knew that Sun Xiangfu was a good man, and she was afraid that if this good man didn't allow her to give him lychees, she wouldn't be able to see her father.

Sun Xiangfu smiled and touched her head, put a long piece of thin silk on her shoulders, tied it diagonally to the armpit, and opened a cuff for her with scissors. Tie a bowknot around her waist, and a long skirt with one shoulder on top and half of her legs on the bottom is ready. It looks a bit like Xuanzang's cassock, with many sleeve holes and a piece of cloth tied around the waist. The belt, anyway, allowed the simple dress to cover her body better than the one she had worn before.

"In the future, don't climb trees by yourself. If you encounter difficulties, you should learn to ask others for help. For things like picking lychees, the uncles of the guards can help you, and they can also eat a lot along the way."

Ah Yue was very satisfied with her new clothes. After turning around a few times, she didn't feel any pain in her arms and legs, and she showed a happy smile.

Sun Xiangfu took her to the pharmacy and asked Li Chunfeng for a can of bruise-removing plaster, and helped Ah Yue apply it. She grinned in pain.

"The Taoist priest and the master are inseparable now!"

Seeing Xuanzang following Li Chunfeng step by step, Sun Xiangfu joked.

"This monk doesn't know why he's crazy. He insists on learning medicine from Pindao, and he doesn't want to be a teacher. If he steals it so blatantly, if it wasn't for the people in Lingnan, Pindao wouldn't let him take advantage of it." Li Chunfeng Said angrily.

Xuanzang smiled when he heard the words, "The poor monk is learning from Daoist Li!"

He had only read a few medical books and pharmacopoeias in the temple before, and he memorized the pharmacology of many medicinal materials by force. He did not learn systematically when treating patients, but he has a good brain and is very eager to learn, and he is surprisingly good at learning. Soon, when more and more patients of other types came to the gate of the patient camp for treatment every day, he had to make a bad plan to help Li Chunfeng share some pressure.

"It's really rare for the master to realize this truth." Sun Xiangfu said with a meaningful smile when he heard this.

"Hmph, I am too lazy to talk to you. Today's patients are still waiting for me to see you!" Li Chunfeng saw Sun Xiangfu flirting with Xuanzang, and left with a frown of his sleeves. Sun Xiangfu took Ah Yue by the hand. , followed along with Xuanzang.

"The first batch of testers have been using the drug for three days, and the effect is obvious. Now everyone regards us as miracle doctors. Not only the patients with pot belly disease in the patient camp, but also patients with other diseases come here for treatment. Even people from the surrounding villages and tribes have come, and our pressure is getting bigger and bigger." Sun Xiangfu sighed while walking.

"That's right! Yue Gong is the one under the most pressure. Now he is looking for medicinal materials everywhere, and even his beard is turning gray." Xuanzang said worriedly.

Historically, Feng An lived a long life, living to more than seventy, but now, everything has changed. Datang defeated Xieli in Guanzhong, and Li Shimin's intercourse became much more frequent. Many princes and daughters who should not have appeared in the first place, They will all appear this year, and the princes and princesses who were originally born after Zhenguan may not appear. This includes Gaozong Li Zhi who was born only in the second year of Zhenguan. Who knows if Empress Changsun will be pregnant in the second half of this year? he.

"It's good for Mr. Yue's life. Master don't need to worry. I just hope that Junmai can get the medicinal materials quickly. After I settle this matter, I can go to Jiaozhi to get grain seeds as soon as possible, and I can send Master to Tianzhu to learn scriptures."

When mentioning Tianzhu, Xuanzang’s expression became a lot calmer. He no longer was so entangled in the matter of scriptures. Not all the scriptures of Tianzhu were good. He felt that what he should read were useful scriptures. Living with Sun Xiangfu has been affected.

At this time, at the Hangzhou estuary, after three consecutive days of sailing, the Happiness finally arrived here, but it failed to turn into the pier smoothly.

"Lieutenant Xi, those ships seem to be waiting for us here early in the morning."

Zhao Gang pointed to the six large ships that outflanked the road from the left and right sides.

"Well, these are not warships of the army, they should be the private boats of those aristocratic families. The people on board are all masters of the rivers and lakes. Let's not be careless. Tell the boatman to drive the boat into the sea. If they come to chase them, let's kill them at sea. them."

Xi Junmai is a person with a natural fighting mindset. When he was sailing, Sun Xiangfu told him some stories about naval battles. He listened to the truth and thought that the whole ocean was like a grassland outside the customs. , is like a war horse under the crotch, and now, my war horse runs faster than the opponent, has stronger endurance and explosive power, and is also equipped with a bed crossbow with a longer range, then, what Sun Xiangfu once mentioned A tactic called kite flying can be used completely.

After a while, the Happiness turned its bow and sailed towards the sea. As expected, six large ships were chasing after them. On the deck, many people in different outfits held weapons and shouted at them, telling them not to run, or they would be arrested. Don't let them say that they will shoot to kill.

"Hmph, you want to kill me? No way, lower the sail three times, keep the same speed as them, and don't make the distance too far." Xi Junmai ordered again, and the sailors quickly followed their words, leaving only With the mainsail and side sails, the speed of the ship dropped by more than half, but even if the speed dropped by more than half, it was still slightly faster than the big ships behind.

The bottoms of these traditional large ships are very wide, and there is great resistance to sailing on the sea. The sails are not tall enough, and the installation is not scientific enough, so they cannot use the wind to the maximum effect. Therefore, even if there are dozens of boatmen on both sides struggling to shake the oars On this vast sea, the speed was less than half of that of the Happiness, but under the deliberate control of the Happiness, they saw a glimmer of hope for pursuit, so that they could not even lose sight of the ship's buttocks.

After half an hour, the arms of the boatmen on the big boats were sore and weak. Seeing from a distance that the frequency of the oars was getting lower and lower, and even many of them stopped moving, Xi Junmai said, "All put on armor and set sails. Lower them all down, let them get close, and once they are within the range of the bed crossbow, run the water wheel around them."

Xi Jun bought the order, and everyone got busy. Soon, the water wheel at the stern began to turn, and more than 40 full-body armored guards lifted more than a dozen small bed crossbows to the deck and arranged them. Group, pull the string and shoot the arrow.

"Hey, those on the boat ahead, listen up, stop the boat and surrender, you can save yourself from death, otherwise, grandpa will spare you, and grandpa's sword will not spare you." A thick and bearded man has gradually stopped at the bow of the boat. The number shouted loudly, looking at his fleshy body, he looks like a simple and honest person.

"Zhao Gang, shoot this guy with an arrow." Xi Junmai hated others being arrogant in front of him the most. If he was not worried about damage to the Happiness, he would dare to kill a ship by himself in armor, because even if he was able to survive at sea On a big ship sailing, in fact, there are only one or two hundred soldiers on board. He is confident that wearing an invulnerable armor, he can destroy them by himself.

"okay!"

Zhao Gang, who had set up the crossbow, got the order and began to adjust the angle of the bed crossbow. After a while, he felt that he was almost aiming, and knocked off the trigger of the bed crossbow with a hammer. Fly out.

"Puff puff······"

Within a few seconds, the sound of flesh and blood being hit hard sounded on the chasing ship. Due to the waves, the two ships had different frequencies of ups and downs. , and did not shoot the bearded man in the bow.

However, when the arrow flew past him, it instantly pierced through the body of the person beside him, splashing blood on his face, and looking at the arrow shaft, it only penetrated the body of one person beside him. The three people standing in a straight line just now have transparent holes in their bodies. Moreover, after the arrow pierced through the bodies of the three people, it can even pierce the deck of the ship. Good wood!

"Bed crossbow, they have a bed crossbow on board." A terrified minion exclaimed.

The bearded man whose face was covered with blood only reacted at this time, and cursed, "Damn it, it's not an army warship, why is it equipped with a bed crossbow? Everyone, be careful, find a place to hide in the cabin, wait Get up, let's fight out together."

The bearded man obviously had experience in water combat, but he never thought about how it would be possible to catch up to the happiness with the speed of his current ship.

"There are a lot of bed crossbows on our ship. Anyway, as long as they don't shoot empty, they can be retrieved and reused. Shoot them hard! If they lose their energy, the rest of the matter will be easier."

The arrows of the bed crossbows are all made of refined iron. Each crossbow is equipped with a box of arrows, about a hundred of them. Therefore, there are more than 1000 bed crossbows on the Happiness. All the people on the six ships that came were killed.

"Hey, this thing hasn't been practiced at sea after it's built, so it's just a good time for the big guys to try their hands."

Zhao Gang chuckled, and the guards all knew what he meant. They were not rookies who had never been on the battlefield. On the contrary, they were veteran soldiers who had fought the Turkic people many times in hand-to-hand combat. People are not soft at all.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

More than a dozen bed crossbows fired together, and immediately the chasing ship was shot like a hedgehog. Even though many people were hiding in the cabin, they were nailed to death by the fine iron arrows penetrating through the wall. , There was a lot of screams on the ship, and during the interval of the battle, several ships behind also followed, Xi Junmai gave the order, and the happiness opened the distance again.
