Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 948
The rain was so heavy that people couldn't open their eyes, and everyone's eyes were squinted. Although the soldiers were wearing coir raincoats, it didn't work, and their clothes were soaked.
It's winter. Although it's not as cold as in the north, the wind is still biting and the teeth are shaking. Everyone's face is purple.
One big ship entered the sea one by one. Ten big ships moved forward side by side, and each ship was connected.
Behind it are also ten ships connected end to end with iron ropes.
In a misty and rainy sea, the first ship cannot see the stern of the second ship behind it. If such measures are not taken, the ship behind will definitely not be able to keep up with the ship in front and will lose its direction.
In such weather, once contact is lost at sea and there is no communication tool, it will be very difficult to find it again.
The golden python pointed the direction for Xiaoer, and Xiaoer personally adjusted the area of the sail that received the wind to control the direction of the ship.
Shangguan Xuanyi put his whole body behind Xiaoer, shielding her from the wind and rain and working hard with her.
Xiaoer operated the rudder with one hand, and Shangguan Xuanyi controlled the angle of the sail suspended from the vertical mast on the hull with one hand to propel the ship forward.
The soldiers were all pressing the string, that is, which way the ship was going, they ran to the other side, trying to keep the ship balanced on the sea and not accidentally capsizing it.
These are the navy. They usually train at sea. Xiaoer doesn't need to teach them what to do.
The waves were very big and the ship was shaking violently. The whole ship almost capsized several times, but everyone was an experienced person and did not panic. They just did what they had to do.
As long as the direction is good, it is no problem for them how the ship sails in the wind and rain.
General Di and Zhao Youwei looked at Xiaoer's petite figure, so determined in the icy wind and cold rain, and admired her even more.
"There are not many women in this world with such a tenacious temperament as the princess." General Di praised from the bottom of his heart.
"It's unique." Zhao Youwei couldn't take his eyes away from Xiaoer's body. Even though her hair was soaked by the rain and stuck to her face, and her lips were purple from the cold, Zhao Youwei also felt that she was beautiful. Any woman he has ever seen in this world is more beautiful, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
He has always felt that what is more beautiful than appearance in this world is temperament, and she has a stunning appearance and a good temperament, so no one can compare with her.
The boat kept moving forward with difficulty.
Under normal weather conditions, it can be reached by sailing in a few days.
But this bad weather made it more difficult for the ship to sail.
It was dark and white, white and dark, but they still hadn't arrived.
The future is still bleak.
In order to fight against the wind and waves, everyone has hardly eaten well these days. Even if they take turns to eat, everyone can't eat well. After a few days, they feel hungry and exhausted. , but the destination still doesn’t know how far away it is. Some soldiers couldn’t help but ask: “Are you going in the wrong direction? Why haven’t you arrived yet after so long?”
"No way, haven't you seen that King Rui and Princess are not in a hurry? The General and the others are not in a hurry either."
"But our ship has been out to sea for a long time!"
"It's not that long. It usually takes a few days to reach Wanli Shitang. Now that the wind and waves are so strong and the boat is so difficult to control, isn't it normal that we haven't arrived yet?" someone comforted.
"Yes, we are tired and hungry, so we feel that the ship has been sailing for a long time."
Xiaoer also knew that the soldiers were tired and hungry, and sometimes the soldiers were not afraid of hunger or tiredness, they were afraid of losing hope, so Xiaoer heard their discussion and comforted her loudly: "Everyone supports Stay! In half an hour, we will reach Wanli Shitang! We have never gone in the wrong direction, so don’t worry."
When they were exhausted, half an hour was actually a long time, but after the soldiers heard this, their fighting spirit came back. After such a long time, the ship was not capsized in such a big storm, but only half an hour was left. Don’t fight anymore! So they loudly said to their comrades on the boat behind them: "Brothers, hold on, we can dock in half an hour!"
The soldiers in each ship shouted to the soldiers in the next ship, so the news that the ship would be able to dock in an hour spread quickly!
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was boosted again, Xiaoer took a deep breath and continued: "Brothers, pay attention, we are about to enter the sea area of Wanli Shitang. This is the source of earthquakes. There may be unknown dangers waiting for us. There may be huge whirlpools, so everyone must be alert, follow the boat in front, and pass this last hurdle!"
The closer they get to Wanli Shitang, the more dangerous it is. In fact, they are only two nautical miles away from Wanli Shitang. The reason why Xiaoer said that it would take half an hour to reach the shore is because of the movement of the earth's crust. Wanli Shitang suddenly If it expands several times, the seawater will pour in crazily due to the gaps left by the movement of the earth's crust, which will form some whirlpools, which will be a great obstacle and danger to sailing.
If there was only one ship, Xiaoer could easily dodge it, but there were hundreds of them. It was simply impossible to dodge them all, so they had to rely on themselves to act according to the situation.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiaoer vaguely saw a black figure not far away: "Here we are! Stop, the boats in the first row, untie the iron ropes, and slowly go to the shore one by one! Be careful not to hit the rocks. !”
Xiaoer asked again where the golden python had hidden reefs, and then reminded everyone to pay attention.
The soldiers on the first row of boats also saw the Wanli Stone Pond. This Wanli Stone Pond was much larger than what they had seen before. Because they saw the target, everyone became more excited and wanted to jump into the sea and swim directly to it.
"We're here, we're really here! We didn't go the wrong way at all, we arrived in no time!"
"No, it's amazing! I thought the boat was drifting randomly in the sea just now!"
"You are stupid. Do you think King Rui and Princess Rui are stupid? Will they lead us around?" A general heard what they said and cursed them.
If the lives of 100,000 soldiers are not fully guaranteed, who would dare to take them out to sea to die!
The soldiers on the ship quickly began to untie the iron ropes, and Xiaoer led the first ship to successfully dock.
Then one ship after another followed the trajectory of Xiaoer's ship and slowly docked.
Every time a ship came closer and came side by side, the soldiers immediately tied the two ships together with iron ropes.
More than an hour later, all the ships successfully docked. Except for one or two ships that were caught in the whirlpool, there were no major accidents.
All the 100,000 soldiers were counted, not a single one was left behind, and then the island was filled with cheers that changed the situation.
Thank you Fenfang and 1huafans011 for the reward, and thank you book friends who voted.
