Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 151
Song Yunwan rushed out of the canopy, and saw five people swimming in the water, and then they were quickly overtaken by the boat.

These people, in order to reduce the weight of the ship, did not hesitate to jump into the sea.

At this moment, Song Yunwan seemed to understand the purpose of Tangning's so-called military ideological education and promotion of spirit.

He also understood Tangning's purpose in sending people from the intelligence department to the northern battlefield to collect stories of brave ordinary soldiers and ordinary people fighting hard, and then write about them in "Ming Pao".

They also understood why Tangning wanted to build a memorial hall for heroes and a cemetery for martyrs.

It is to let every soldier understand why he became a soldier and why he fought.

Just because I understand it, I know what I want to do and what it is worth doing, so I dare to do it, and do it at all costs.

……

Apparently, Shi Fu also felt that the speed of the boat carrying Tangning had suddenly increased, and he also knew that this place was very close to Nan'ao, so he was extremely anxious.

"Fire me, blow me up, blow me up..."

Shi Fu gave the order angrily, now that he no longer cared about catching Tangning alive, if he waited for the other party to move away, he might lose his sight.

Besides, with a distance of nearly two hundred feet, it was hard to say whether they could hit that boat.

"Boom boom boom..." Nearly twenty large ships fired wildly, and the small boats continued to pursue under the order.

Due to the distance and field of view, accuracy is not at all, it is purely luck and feel, so most shells are far away.

However, there were also a few lucky shots that landed not far from the boat and blasted water jets.

Another shot passed directly over the boat, which was very thrilling.

Tangning was lying in the canopy, her expression was still calm, as if she had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, a "boom" sounded like an explosion in his ears. Tangning trembled all over, and then slowly opened her eyes.

Song Yunwan would observe Tangning from time to time, and when she suddenly saw this scene, she couldn't believe her eyes.

After blinking her eyes a few times, she saw that Tangning had opened her eyes, and then she stepped forward weeping with joy, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law."

Tangning felt a little dizzy in her head, so she didn't come back to her senses for a while. It wasn't until she heard Song Yunwan's shout that her consciousness returned to normal.

"Wan'er? Where is this?" Tangning asked as she struggled to sit up.

"At sea, we are at sea." Song Yunwan said quickly, the previous calm had long since disappeared, as if a child had found a backbone.

"Boom boom boom" explosions sounded again and again, Tangning remembered what happened before, and realized her current situation.

After briefly inquiring about the situation, Tangning came out to check on the situation in person regardless of her weakness.

Song Yunwan was worried about him and accompanied him.

The three soldiers on the boat were also overjoyed when they saw Tangning wake up.

But everyone knows that the situation is not optimistic. Even if the enemy's artillery can't hit him, this kind of harassment will affect the speed of the ship, allowing the enemy boat to catch up.

If the enemy ships catch up again, with the current few people, it may be difficult to stop them.

Tangning thought for a moment and ordered, "Cut off the foremast and mizzenmast..."

They were all surprised when they heard it, but after hearing Tangning's strategy, they all felt that it was feasible.

"Brother-in-law, your body..." Song Yunwan said worriedly.

Tangning shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm much better now. Time is running out, act quickly."

Song Yunwan didn't say any more, and went to the foremast with two soldiers.

Compared with the main mast, the front and rear masts are much thinner, so it is easier to cut.

Immediately there was a "click", and the foremast was cut off.

Two soldiers stepped forward and quickly removed the sail and ropes, while Song Yunwan brought Tangning out.

The two soldiers tied a rope around Tangning's waist, and together they lifted the mast tied with a rope and threw it into the sea.

The speed of the boat was deliberately slowed down a lot at this time. Tangning stood at the bow, prepared a bit, and then jumped into the sea without hesitation.

Song Yunwan and the two soldiers watched carefully, Song Yunwan kept holding the rope in her hand, and she was also counting silently in her heart.

As long as the time is up and Tangning has not floated up, she will immediately pull the rope.

Fortunately, after only a few breaths, Tangning's head popped out of the water.

Song Yunwan nodded to a soldier next to him, and that soldier quickly untied a rope tied to the ship's side, and handed it to Song Yunwan.

After Song Yunwan took the rope, without further delay, she also jumped into the sea.

The rope in her left hand was tied to Tangning, and the rope in her right hand was tied to the mast that was thrown into the sea.

Song Yunwan's water skills are very good. After she got out of the water, she quickly swam towards Tangning.

With the previous experience of choking on water, Tangning was much more cautious this time, and tried to follow the rhythm of the waves when breathing.

After feeling the pull of the rope around his waist, he swam as hard as he could.

Not long after, the two met, and then they swam towards the mast together, with shells blasting water jets around them from time to time.

Tangning didn't forget the three soldiers. She looked back from time to time, but saw the boat rushing in another direction, and it was going faster and faster.

From this position he could see the mizzenmast, but the mizzenmast was not down, and the mizzen was still being adjusted.

Tangning seemed to understand something, and punched the water with her fist.

Song Yunwan was by Tangning's side. Seeing Tangning's actions, she knew that Tangning must be in a bad mood, but she didn't say anything because she knew that Tangning didn't need comfort either.

Tang Ning's plan was to cut down the front and rear masts, and then the five of them would divide into two teams and jump into the sea to escape.

After cutting off the front and rear masts, there is still the main mast. Although the speed of the ship will be slower, it will still continue to move forward.

The enemy is still hundreds of feet away, and it is very likely that they will be confused.

When they catch up with the empty ship, it will undoubtedly be many times more difficult to find a few people floating in the vast sea in the dark night, which can buy them a lot of time.

Moreover, this place is not far from the coastline of South Australia. The longer Zheng Jun stays here, the more likely he will be exposed, and his own reinforcements may appear at any time.

This plan was very feasible. Tangning and Song Yunwan jumped into the sea to escape according to the plan, but the three soldiers did not follow the order.

In order to give Tang Ning a better chance of escaping, they decided to give up escaping for the time being after discussion, because the unmanned ship is definitely not as flexible as the manned one.

No one controls the direction, and once it deviates from the course, the enemy is likely to see the problem in advance.

If the mizzen mast is cut off, the speed of the ship will be further reduced.

To make my adults safer, it is natural to drive the boat as far away as possible, and to expose it as late as possible, so as to divert the enemy's artillery fire and distract the enemy's attention.

That's exactly what they're doing right now.

After experiencing so much, Tangning had already stopped being so sentimental, and she didn't allow herself to be emotional.

After calming down, he turned around and continued to swim towards the mast, Song Yunwan immediately followed.
