Chapter 297 Iron Hook

Chapter 297 Iron Hook

Zhang Kai, his boat, and his sailors have been entangled with the pursuers for five or six days.

When the Zhang family fell, the sailors were scattered, and the fleet fell into the mouths of countless tigers and wolves, leaving Zhang Kai in his hands. There was only this one thousand-year-old boat.This ship is not a standard blessing ship. When it was built, it was built with the help of Dashi craftsmen from the Erythrina tree, so the shape is not square and flat like a wooden dendrobium, but a little narrow and light.

Compared with the traditional Fuchuan, this kind of boat is not strong enough, it is difficult to withstand wind and waves, and it can carry less cargo.The few families who divided up the fleet that day kept it and gave it to the descendants of the Zhang family. Speaking of it to the outside world, it seemed kind and generous.

Zhang Kai is very courageous, and he used this small boat to travel between Song and Jin countries in the past few years.He didn't dare to intervene in bulk goods, and mainly engaged in the business of licorice, tangerine peel, and ginger, so he could earn a living.If all goes well, after this trip by sea, they can go to the shipyard in Mingzhou to order a new ship.

Unfortunately, this trip didn't go well at all.

It is said that because the capital of the Kingdom of Jin and a large area of ​​land were burned, killed and plundered by the northern black Tartars, the merchants of the Kingdom of Jin will inevitably need a huge amount of supplies, which will bring huge profits to the merchants of the Kingdom of Song.

But the merchants of the Kingdom of Jin are not stupid. Could it be that the merchants of the Kingdom of Song are allowed to suck their bones?Their response this time is to rely on the name of Jin Guoding's Navy Jiedushi, and repeatedly ask the Song Dynasty maritime merchants to select qualified leaders to go to Laizhou Sanshan Port to discuss the price and quantity of the materials face to face. Avoid conflicts from time to time.

Not a bad idea.

Since ancient times, the sea has been a place of alienation, a place where bold and vicious people dare to grab benefits.Maritime merchants have always been independent and compete with each other.Even if the leaders were sitting in restaurants in Mingzhou, Yuezhou, or even Lin'an Mansion, drinking and toasting, the moment they stepped on the board, white knives would come in and red knives would come out at any time.

But they have been fighting each other for many years, and the business has always been such a small business, and it may not be possible to earn more in any year.

The situation of Daikin has changed drastically since last year, and everyone feels that it is finally time to make a fortune.So before making a big fortune, it is natural to check the number and qualifications of your companions, and then be able to leave this windfall in the hands of powerful businessmen.

Since mid-March, the fires among the maritime merchants of the Song Dynasty have continued continuously, and even at Sanshan Port in Laizhou, the fighting continued.

Zhang Kai reckoned that he had gotten closer to Chucai, the judge of the Ding Navy, a few days ago, which aroused the jealousy of others, so on the night before the official meeting between the two parties, someone came here at night with the intention of Burning boats and killing people.

Zhang Kai's boatmen, all experienced veterans who followed the Zhang family for two generations, lifted anchor and fled immediately when they saw something was wrong.The sea is vast, and it would be best to just go away, but the enemy didn't stop, and even sent two fast boats full of vicious water thieves to pursue them.

Zhang Kai's boat was faster than ordinary Fuchuan, but after all, it was not as good as the fast boats used to kill people and steal goods. Both sides fled and chased, from the Bohai Sea in the west of Laizhou to the Shaohai Sea in the east of Laizhou.Zhang Kai's luck was also a little bit worse. The day before yesterday, he was pushed into a wet channel by the tide from the west of Shaohai.

This time it became a catch in a urn, Zhang Kai fled all the way north, pursued by the pursuers all the way, as the channel became narrower, the distance between the ships became closer and closer.

By this time, the three ships were tightly attached to one place.

A few days ago at sea, the two sides also approached each other. On Zhang Kai’s boat, there were several traces of being burned by fire, and the front of the mast, which was used to encourage the wind, and the wild fox sails were also in tatters. Attacked by pursuers.But the sea is open, and the direction of the wind and tide is also changeable. As long as you persist for a while, the wind direction and hydrology change, and you may escape.

Now I can't get away.

It’s over.

The fierce-looking pirates in tattered clothes were constantly turning over from the side of the ship, and someone shouted: "You guys have offended Mr. Shi, you should know that this day will come sooner or later! On Huangquan Road, don't complain! "

Surrounded by more than a dozen sailors, Zhang Kai stood in front of the house that was square like a house behind the boat.Going to fight to the death.Hearing this call, he smiled wryly a few times, wanting to shout a few words in response.

At this point, it doesn't make much sense to speak harshly.In the end, it was Zhang's family who offended Mr. Shi, not unrelated sailors.Why don't you ask them, if Zhang Zihe committed suicide on the spot, would it be possible for others to survive?
As soon as he raised his breath, the old boat beside him pulled Zhang Kai violently.

"Don't think about it!" The stooped old boat clenched the dagger tightly, straightened up in a rare way, and shouted to everyone: "Fight with them!"

In the next instant, both sides shouted, blood spattered, and broken arms flew across.

On the narrow deck, dozens of people rushed into each other with their bodies and killed each other with knives and daggers.The ship plank they stepped on was soaked and slippery with blood in just a few breaths, so that people who fought one after another stumbled and fell down.

Zhang Kai is not a warrior, and has no personal experience in such a brutal fight, so he was a little dazed under the light of swords and blood for a while.

The old boat head yanked Zhang Kai again.He lowered his voice and hurriedly said: "Lang Jun, go back to the scabies room! Jump into the river from the window at the back! Quick!"

The scabies room is a large cabin, the bottom is for the sailors, and the top is Zhang Kai's residence.Going out from the rear window is the position of the two auxiliary rudders. If you take another step, you can jump into the dipping water.

Zhang Kai's hand holding the knife was a little trembling, and his voice was also a little trembling: "But, I, I..."

"Go!" The old boat head pushed Zhang Kai back hard.

When Zhang Kai staggered back, he saw a sea bandit approaching with a long knife.He plunged the long knife into the right side of the old bow's neck, and cut the throat, cutting down to the shoulder blade.Blood gushed out, splashed onto Zhang Kai's face, and splashed onto the shoulders of the sailors on both sides who were still facing the enemy.

Old Chuantou's body was slowly weakening, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Kai, his mouth was still opening and closing, as if to say something.

On the right side of Zhang Kai, the burly sailor with hot blood on his back is the son of the old ship's head.Zhang Kai and him grew up together, treating him as his own elder brother.

The burly sailor still didn't know his father's death, and was roaring and sweeping across the oars, driving away several pirates who were trying to approach.

However, the scull was too heavy, and it was very inconvenient to swing it. The moment he swung it for the second time with all his strength, a hatchet flew from nowhere and severed his right arm, leaving only a thin layer of it. The flesh is connected.

Accompanied by the rush of blood, the old Chuantou's son screamed wildly, and his figure was scattered.Immediately, a pirate jumped forward and sliced ​​open his stomach.

Right in front of Zhang Kai's eyes, he backed away again and again until his back hit the other side of the ship's side, and then his body began to twitch.On his way back, intestines and viscera flowed all over the place.

Zhang Kai really couldn't bear this situation, he felt his feet were limp, he couldn't move at all, he couldn't escape!
I'm afraid it's time to die today, so let's die!die!

Zhang Kai felt that his body and emotions were completely out of control, and the only thing still in control was his own voice.So he yelled with all his strength, and then he took the short knife in his hand and began to swing it violently.

There were not many cover sailors around him, and the pirates gathered more and more.The pirates seemed to be laughing at his desperate performance and his flawless movements.

Zhang Kai looked at each of them, at their ferocious faces.

He suddenly noticed that the face of a pirate standing on the side of the ship, which was originally laughing, suddenly became distorted in pain.

An iron hook shining with silver light pierced into the pirate's calf horizontally, piercing through his calf, and blood spurted from the wound on both sides.The pirate opened his mouth wide, and was about to cry out, the iron hook yanked backwards, so the pirate lost his balance instantly, waving his hands, and fell behind the ship's side.

His body roughly hit the deck of the Clippers, and there was a thud, followed by several dying groans.

In a blink of an eye, the iron hook appeared again.This time it hooked the side of the ship, and the blood on the hook flowed down the cracks in the planks on the side of the ship.

A gray-haired soldier poked his head out from the side of the ship, looking left and right.

It turned out that the iron hook was tied to the left arm of the soldier, and it was very convenient to use it to fix the body when climbing the ship.

Zhang Kai stopped swinging the dagger, and stared blankly at the direction where the soldier appeared.Many pirates also felt that something was wrong, so they turned their heads to look.

The soldier didn't take so many sights seriously.He also turned his head, looked beyond the ship's side, and then shouted impatiently: "It's a bitch, it's time for you to kill people, do you want me to invite you!"
