Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the third day after the defeat in Shen'ao Bay, only the Pena, the last sapling of the mighty Portuguese pirate fleet, was left, still stubbornly fleeing north.

    Chen Huaixiu¡¯s fleet and the 104th ship that subsequently came to support have been chasing after them, but the effect is not very good.  Because after entering the Taiwan Strait, the sea surface was severely bumpy, which greatly reduced the accuracy of long-range shooting.  If you press forward, you will die, so you can only follow far behind, continue to consume the enemy through continuous harassment, make it continue to lose blood, and finally, like the Garreles, surrender in the end.

    Three more days passed like this, and the Pena still did not surrender.

    But their condition was already very bad. Not only were two masts broken, the hull was leaking seriously, but the bottom bunker where drinking water was stored was also hit by several shots, most of the barrels were blown out, and fresh water and beer were suffered heavy losses.

    The ship is severely overcrowded and if not controlled, the water supply will be cut off in minutes.  Captain Silva ordered water rations, and combatants were given a glass of beer or a glass of water per day.  Non-combatants were given only half a glass of beer or half a glass of water to quench their thirst.  As for which one it is, it depends on what is in the barrel when it is their turn.

    Ship passengers such as Lin Daoqian, Zeng Yiben, Pepper Lao, and Zhu Liangbao are naturally non-combatants.

    Looking at the yellow liquid with thick white foam in the wooden cup, the sea masters stared at it with big eyes and small eyes.

    "Why does it look like urine? Can this thing be drunk?" Zhu Liangbao took a sniff and frowned.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know after you try it?¡± Pepper Lao¡¯s lips were so dry that they were peeling. He couldn¡¯t wait to take a sip. Then his face changed drastically and he almost spat it out.  But he didn't vomit. Instead, he swallowed the drink, wiped his mouth and cursed: "Selianmu, Saohuhu, it really smells like urine!"

    "Then you still drink?" Everyone couldn't help laughing.

    "What's the matter? I'm very thirsty at sea, and it's not like I've never drank urine." Pepper Lao said calmly: "In the past few days, I haven't wasted a drop."

    "It makes sense, we are being hypocritical!" The sea masters felt that it was justified. They had not eaten or drank in the past few days. If they did not eat or drink, they would die.

    With a frown on his face, he drank the cup of urine and ate the dry and hard black bread.  That is food that is given out at the same time as drinking water.

    They knew that Domingo¡¯s Portuguese officers, as well as Lin Hongzhong, must have better food than this.  But the sea masters are all aware of current affairs, and it would be nice to be under someone else's care at the moment.  If you don't open your eyes to ask for food or drink, you might end up being thrown into the sea.

    "It's so unpalatable! I didn't expect that there are things in the world that are more unpalatable than steamed buns." Zhu Liangbao still couldn't help complaining.

    "Eat quickly, the pursuers are coming again." Zeng Yiben reminded in a muffled voice. He kept paying attention to the sea and found that no matter how the Pena avoided it, it could not get rid of the pursuers behind it.

    "Come on, brothers, please improve." Lin Daoqian took out a wet cloth bag from his arms and poured the contents on the ground.

    It was a dozen long, sticky, gray-white slug-like things, and they were still squirming.

    "Here you go, shipworm. This is good stuff. Where did it come from?" The sea owners naturally recognized this thing and picked it up one after another and ate it raw.  Shipworms are a high-protein food and can be eaten raw.  But no one would touch this thing unless they were extremely hungry, because it's so disgusting.

    Six years ago, Lin Daoqian and his men were drifting on the sea, relying on eating shipworms to fight dogs. This is called path dependence.  While eating his mouthful, he said vaguely: "After looking around, the boat has been hollowed out, and there are broken hulls everywhere. These things were pulled out from the hull."

    "Can you still hold on?" Everyone asked with concern.

    "It shouldn't sink for a while." Lin Daogan frowned and said, "The red-haired ghost is still very good at plugging leaks, but he can't get rid of the pursuers, and he will suffer."

    "Yes." The sea masters lay down depressed and regretted: "It was better to surrender directly at that time. It is better than this person who is neither human nor ghost."

    "It's useless to say that, just bear with it." Zeng Benben is indeed an expert in failure, and his heart is unusually strong.  "When the wind turns back to the north, escaping shouldn't be a problem."

    "Well" The sea masters stopped talking and had to save some energy to hold on for a few more days.

    ??~~

    In comparison, their enemy's situation is much better.

    Chen Huaixiu's fleet is composed of armed merchant ships. Its biggest advantage is that it can carry a large amount of supplies.  Not only is it sufficient for the crew of the fleet, but it can also support the naval police officers and soldiers of the 104th ship.

    With sufficient supplies of materials, the soldiers' meals are naturally guaranteed.

    In accordance with the Coast Guard Regulations, combat"No problem." Domingo agreed immediately, and then asked: "Is it safe where you are?"

    "Of course it's safe." Lin Daoqian said calmly: "Xiawei is a native of the Ming Dynasty. With Zhao's courage, he doesn't dare to harass us."

    "Well, that's true." Lin Hongzhong nodded and said, "General Lin is a guerrilla general of the imperial court. He should be very safe there."

    ¡°Then go to Xiawei!¡± Domingo nodded heavily and made up his mind.  In fact, he had no choice

    ??~~

    It was smooth sailing on the return trip and the boat speed finally picked up.  Now the 104th ship and Chen Huaixiu's fleet were unable to stop it. They could only watch the Pena break through the blockade and follow it from a distance.

    At the back.

    Seven days later, the Pena sailed into Hawei Port, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    After the ship docked, Lin Daoqian immediately ordered his men to bring food and drink to the ship, and then help repair the warship.

    When the group of people got off the boat, he suddenly changed his face and ordered everyone to be arrested!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
