Generally speaking, the speed of ships sailing in the sea is fixed, and it is impossible to have such a fast speed. The pirates over there obviously also discovered that the speed of these ships coming towards them was very fast, and they
There seem to be densely packed small grids on both sides of the ship. I really don’t know what these things are for. Everyone knows that the sides of the ship should be made stronger. If it is made like this, it will definitely not be able to sail on the sea for too long. It is really not good.
Knowing where these people came from, they felt even more strange as they got closer. There was no sail on this boat. How did they get here? Could it be that they came by rocking an oar? Impossible.
This should be no problem if it were in some rivers in the mainland, but now this is the sea, and it takes several years to sail at every turn. How can it be possible to work all the time? Even the most powerful people can't bear it.
What's going on? Besides, except for some large official ships of the imperial court, it is impossible for other ships to come here. How did they get here? They are very huge in size, and there are no ships on them.
Regardless of the signs, these guys seemed to suddenly appear from the sea, and their appearance made people feel strange.
"Boss, the speed of these ships is surprisingly fast. It's better for us to retreat quickly. These guys seem to have bad intentions. If they really want to fight us, we may not be their opponents." The second pirate said.
The leader looked forward and said, he was also scared to death.
"Idiot, what are you afraid of? They are just a little faster. Look at their boats. There are no offensive weapons at all. There is not even a ram on the bow. What should we be afraid of?
They may be new things developed by the imperial court, and maybe there will be a lot of things we need on them. There will be a lot of good things on these ships this time. Who knows, they are just some purchased garbage.
How much is this thing worth? Just a few hundred thousand silver. Thousands of our brothers went out to get these hundreds of thousands of silver? Leave them alone. Tell them that our Cape Gang is doing something, and tell them to get away.
A little bit, if they want to fight us, we are not afraid of them, we just happened to eat them together." The one-eyed dragon boss said disdainfully. He is considered very powerful in this generation of sea. The pirates around him are also ordinary people from the government.
I won’t come to confront him. This guy has his own way of commanding things at sea. This is one of the reasons why everyone dare not come over. Many times he is the overlord here. Even the court officials on the shore have
He also contacted him and gave him a portion of money every year in the hope that he would not cause trouble in his jurisdiction. He himself was also very arrogant, which could be seen from his words.
"That's right, what the boss said is, the second boss, it's better for us to work at this stall quickly." The third boss came over and said, these two people have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. If they encounter such an opportunity, they will not use their strength.
This guy really felt sorry for me, and he didn't show mercy to me either.
These pirates usually live such a lawless life, and now naturally they will not adapt their own ideas when these ships appear temporarily. They are kings on the sea, and they will not be afraid of anyone's threats. Don't
Speaking of these people, even if the navy of the Southern Empire comes out, it is the same. The navy's army is basically unable to find the north because of their play. It's no wonder. They are on the sea every day, and they are not interested in making a living for themselves.
The things they are doing are very clear, so the modifications of their ships are very powerful, and their technology is also very powerful. If the Navy cannot catch them, they can continue to carry out the process next time, but if they are caught
If the navy was caught, it would be a big deal. Not only would their own heads fall off, but also those with relatives at home would be killed. So their boss told them
Yes, failure is absolutely not allowed, because you don’t have that chance. As long as you fail for the first time, your life will be over, and there will be no time to go back. The difference between them and the navy is this
If you want to live well in your place, you have to practice your own affairs better in daily life. This is the standard for living well.
One by one, these pirates began to use the ropes on the mast to rush to the other party's ship. The other party was also an official ship, and there seemed to be two more powerful archers on it, at least second-level archers. Their
Several people were shot to death by these guys. If they had been in the past, they would have trapped the entire ship. Let time slowly torment these masters. Masters are also human beings. They will also get tired sometimes, but
Now is different from that time. The fleet behind is coming soon. They don't have so much time to wait for these guys to get tired slowly. They have their own things to do, and they have to use these people.
Another way to kill them is to rush up while carrying the hostages. Of course, if the people inside don't pay attention to these hostages, there will be no other way. They can only rush up and rely on a swarm of swarms to get up. It's bad luck.
The one who lost his life will naturally be killed, and the others can kill this guy.
In twenty-five minutes, they killed all three ships. The boss looked at his brothers with joy, and captured about four hundred people. He also lost dozens of them. It didn't matter.
Yes, these guards are their best supplement. If these people lose something, they will definitely be beheaded when they go back. If they go back, they are definitely not as good as being pirates. Except for the people who followed him at the beginning,
The rest of the people are basically like this. Of course, he will also ask these people to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet, otherwise he will not let them follow him. Buying insurance is necessary.
"Boss, the search is clear. Apart from the spices and clothing materials on the ship, there are only four boxes of silver. It's really unlucky. Damn it. If the things on the boat are sold, they will only cost less than 300,000 silver at most. Damn it.
"It's really unlucky to see such a good ship with so few valuable things." The second boss came over depressed and reported to the boss. They thought that there must be millions of silver in these ships.
Who knew just a little bit, these boats are all very good boats, and they would not suffer a loss if they towed them back, but they felt uncomfortable not finding what they had ordered.
"Okay, don't be so annoyed. This thing is not as bad as we thought. At least we have so many more people. These ships will be very good if they go back and be renovated. Just a few of our ships
The ships are not in good condition anymore. If we continue to use those ships, we may have problems in the future. It is good to have these supplements now. By the way, call those people over. I want
Have a good chat with them and see how they are, by the way. Are there any women?" Among pirates, money is the first, and women second. They really miss women.
"Farewell, ***, among the hundreds of people there is not a single woman. I really don't know what *** these people think. Even if there is such a person who cooks, who knows there is not even one. This
This is also our biggest failure. The brothers have made playing with those in the lair no longer interesting. Even if they take off their clothes and walk in front of our eyes, no one is willing to take a second look at these bastards.
, just don't give us a way to survive." The second master is also a very lecherous person. Speaking of this matter is also the most depressing thing for him. If possible, he would rather not rob these ships.
"Boss, now is not the time to talk about this. We should do something else. This fleet seems to be closer to us. Should we run away now? They seem to be coming with bad intentions.
To be honest, I felt like this before, and I was a little scared. I also felt like this last time when we were fighting against those guys. Brother, this feeling is very accurate." The third leader came over and said,
He has always been the think tank of this team. Generally speaking, he is responsible for making suggestions, but the second in command is responsible for fighting and charging. The two of them also fight overtly and covertly, but there is a boss who balances their small team.
It's still very good. Now that the third child has such an idea, something will definitely happen. The boss still believes in this issue very much, so now he also wants to retreat, but if he leaves directly now, this ship
But they can’t take them back. Their pirate ships are much faster than these official ships. Sometimes what official ships need is momentum. As for other things, they don’t need them. What pirates need is speed. In
In this aspect, their two ships are completely opposite. If you want to leave, you have to leave behind your biggest harvest, and you can't even take any prisoners.
"Boss, how can you just say you don't want something that you bought in exchange for dozens of lives? Those guys are approaching, but look at what kind of ships they are. They are just cargo ships. Aren't they just a little faster?
That's all, we might as well just rob them, so that we can gain enough. Anyway, they bumped into them by themselves, and it has nothing to do with us. They are out of luck today. If they encounter us, what do you think, boss?
If we can use their speed, we can catch up with all the ships. In the future, we don’t need to be afraid of anyone’s pursuit. This sea area is really our world, no.
Otherwise, as far as this matter is concerned, I feel that we should do it." The second boss was also very reasonable, and the third boss would do something bad when he saw this matter. The second boss is smarter than me every time because he knows how to use these things.
The boss is the fool. It is precisely for this reason that he has made so many contributions and now he can only be the third child, and this guy is the second child because he is foolhardy. I have studied it many times, maybe this guy
Even if he is a wise and foolish guy, there will still be fights in a small group of bandits. This is a very certain thing. It happens everywhere and will never happen.
"Okay, no need to say more, I have already made a decision myself." Seeing what the third child wanted to say, the boss quickly waved his hand, and the unsafe feeling in the third child's heart came again.
He said, "Lao San, you and your brothers will continue to clean up the battlefield here. Take away everything you can. If you can't take away, just burn it with me. There is no use in leaving it."
Yes, second brother, ask the brothers to do it for me. I don’t believe how capable they are. Tell them to see how powerful our Haijiao Gang is." The boss said, and the third child shook his head helplessly.
It's been like this every time, and the losses have been huge.
Here Li Cong also looked at the pirate ships in front of him with some surprise. They were actually divided into two parts. Only five ships came over. The rest should be dealing with the things on the ship. These guys are all there one by one.
Doing such a thing, there was something wrong with their minds. Li Cong suddenly understood. These ships of his were very strange. But they still couldn't give them any deterrent. Each of these guys were still thinking about why they didn't do it themselves.
He was captured. If this is the case, just let his first battle begin. Li Cong nodded towards fleet commander Desi. This boy was the first to accept the naval theories Li Cong said. During the exercise
The squadron he led has killed several other similar fleets. His strength has been proven in actual combat. He should be able to quickly deal with these five pirate ships. Do they want to take action? Then
It is absolutely impossible, and what awaits them is death.
Desi also knew that this war must be a turning point for him. A dozen fleet commanders like him did not get this opportunity. Now they all only have official positions but no military ranks. He hopes to get the first rank of commodore.
, in his eyes, this is like a title given by the court, but the treatment given by the trading company is different. There is only a small gap between a colonel and a brigadier general, but the treatment is very different. As long as he can
After obtaining the rank of brigadier general, all his descendants within three generations will receive a living fund. Although it is not much, it is enough for them to have enough food and clothing. This is all they can do. People are working hard outside.
It is to create a share of the world for his descendants. When he saw Li Cong nodding, he immediately began to command. Next to him stood two flag soldiers. Their task was to quickly execute his orders.
Spread it out. There are no communication tools in this era. Everything on the sea relies on this. If you rely on shouting, it is simply nonsense. There are no barriers on the sea and it is open everywhere.
, even if you shout until your throat is broken, it is probably of no use. In the end, it will only make the sound become farther and farther away, which is completely different from the echo on land.
"All non-combat fleets began to slow down and were waiting here. All combat ships, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, turned and started sailing from north to south. 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 turned, sailed from south to north, attacked each other, and circled back after reaching both ends, 111, 112
,,113,114 four ships conduct peripheral interception, 115,116,,117 preparation, 118 maneuver, this is just a group of rabble, not the opponent of our navy's first squadron, tell brothers, this battle is our first stop, this is
They will be written into history, let them become the people who make history like me." Desi imitated Li Cong's tone and began to say these words, but sometimes he still felt that he was a little lacking in fire. The young master's tone seemed to be
He is completely different from me. Anyway, I am not as powerful as others. This may be the difference between them and myself, but I am indeed the protagonist today, even more protagonist than the young master.
After receiving the news, more than a dozen warships immediately began to change their formations. Their current communication system is still a bit weak. They now have two observers who are constantly observing the orders from the flagship, and then repeating them.
, the two people around them will hold something like a trumpet and shout to the people around them, one by one, which can be said to be a huge waste of time, but it is okay, because they have telescopes, and other navies probably
The contact method is much slower than them. They can only rely on their own naked eyes to see. If they see like that, there will be many problems. Sometimes they may convey the wrong order. These pirates
It also needs to be conveyed, but their semaphore is much simpler, but they have never done anything wrong, because their tacit understanding is all developed in actual combat, and their captains can understand what other captains mean.
Even the hand gestures can be seen clearly.
The pirates' five ships were also lined up, but they came side by side. They didn't understand what these people meant, how could they put up such a formation, exposing their sides, it was really
I have never seen anything like this. If the side is exposed, just hit it directly. What else is there to fight? A group of pirates are laughing happily on their own ship. These guys who don’t know how to fight really don’t know what they usually do.
How did you do it when you met pirates? You don’t need to panic like this when you encounter pirates. Only the third boss saw something in the back and felt something was wrong. It is estimated that the boss and the second boss will not be able to come back. Do you want your own?
To make some plans for the future, he asked people to move all the valuable things to a fast boat, and taught the boss's men to do the rest. As for the second brother, there were not many people left at the moment.
All the *** followed the second child to the front to rob. The third child also gathered his men to take away the speedboat. If something went wrong later, he would have to lead them to escape. At that time, it was still
Your own people are more reliable. And if you want to be the boss after you go back, you need your own people to stand up and help you. How can you not take them with you?
"Report, the two ships 101 and 105 have entered the shooting angle. The two captains asked if they can fire?" Desi's adjutant came up and reported that although the military salute was not so perfect, it already had a decent meaning, so
The people seem to be very good and have a bright future.
"Order the captains and tell them that as long as they enter what they think is the best shooting angle, they can shoot themselves. What I want to see now is their own command ability." Desi also found the person at this time.
It's really a good feeling to have thousands of troops and horses in your own hands.
After receiving the order, each captain started their actions one by one. They all started their preparations. Everyone had already started to take aim. Li Cong was also looking forward to this scene very much, because of this
The scene has never been seen on earth. Naval decisive battles on earth all depend on missiles or even laser cannons. I have never encountered such a decisive battle similar to cannons. Of course, this is also
It's not a decisive battle with artillery, this is a one-sided war. Li Cong sat at the top of the flagship and watched this scene happily. He himself also adapted the planet. Although it changed the development of the planet, he still felt a sense of satisfaction.
It was unprecedented. The pirates on the opposite side could be said to have died with no regrets, because they had also become witnesses of history, but this sacrifice was their lives. Soon Li Cong heard the first loud blast.
No. 101 fired in the distance first, followed by No. 105.
A total of 610 artillery pieces on this side of the two warships have been prepared. According to the captain's order, all their artillery fires are fired in order. At most, they can fire a salvo of twenty artillery pieces. They will never let all the guns fire.
The artillery fires all at the same time. If this is the case, it is estimated that the entire ship may disintegrate immediately due to the powerful recoil. Starting from the first cannon hole in the upper left, a cannonball will be fired about every three seconds.
, the ships No. 102 and 106 following them will also enter the shooting angle in two minutes, and they will also add in. For such a formation, if there are thousands of troops in front of them, they will probably be killed, but
There are not so many ships and people now, only five ships. Although there are ten ships in the distance, they are all too far away. It is impossible for Li Cong to equip them with cannons with such a long range.
Things have to be done step by step, so how can we start all at once?
How can there be such an attack mode? Such a loud noise? What is going on? All the pirates are confused about this matter. There is nothing on their ship that can make such a big noise, and they have never
They had seen it before, but just when they were wondering, suddenly a water column of more than ten meters high rose up in front of them, and made a huge noise. What was going on? Everyone looked at them
When they saw the surrounding water pillars starting to get higher and higher, they finally knew that this was someone's attack. It seemed to be something like a trebuchet.
Finally, when the fifteenth gate was launched, one of the pirates' ships was hit. The cannonballs were solid cannonballs, which were the most useful against sailing warships in this era. The explosive shells were also the kind of explosive shells.
The cannonballs could only be used against some people on the deck, but the cannonballs directly smashed several layers of wood and directly opened a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter in the bottom of the ship. In an instant, the entire ship was destroyed.
Water has started to enter, and they will have something underneath that can block the boat, but such a big hole is still at the bottom of the boat. If it were on both sides of the boat, there might be something to do, but this is at the bottom of the boat.
Yes, this *** is blocked. None of the pirates below will be below. They are rushing to the deck one by one. Of course, they still will not believe that they have failed at this time. They
Just feeling a little scared of this unknown thing, a dozen sailors ran up from below. Just when they ran to the deck, they heard a loud noise. Then a huge air wave came over, and then
Some people felt that they had been hit somewhere on their body, and moreover, they were blown up by the air wave, and then flew out of the ship into the sea. In the middle, they saw their own blood floating in the air. A pirate ship
Then it was reimbursed, and the remaining four pirate ships were dumbfounded. The pirate boss was immediately reimbursed by a cannonball. Only two warships opened fire, and the remaining captains cursed the two warships hard, but they
They can't continue to fire. Now the battle is over before it starts. If they continue to fire, they will be wasting ammunition. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to be done. It is absolutely impossible to fight at sea and on land.
The difference is that all things are very precious. No matter how they are obtained, you must carefully preserve all your combat supplies.
The remaining ships did not dare to act rashly at this time. They had to show their sincerity, otherwise they might continue to attack them. The remaining ships immediately attacked some of their own ships.
Sexual weapons have been thrown into the sea. As for raising a white flag, I guess they don't know how to do it, because they don't have such education at all.
"Master, they seem to have given up resistance. Do we want to continue the attack?" Desi said after seeing the other party's actions.
"Haha, my commander, they are all pirates. As you saw just now, their moves are very powerful. If we didn't have such powerful force at the moment, we would have been killed by them long ago, so
Do you think we should listen to them? Now let me continue to order the remaining ships to fire, and at the same time prepare the warships to rush up and seize the ships behind them. We just need a few people who can give us information.
That's it, why do we need so many prisoners? Do you think we have a lot of food?" Li Cong said with a smile, these pirates rob people every day, if they are still operating in this place, their navy will definitely take action
It is not very convenient. For the other three empires, their seas should be quiet. It is best not to have other ships. Otherwise, it will not be easy for Li Cong to keep secrets. It is better to keep them
It would be better to send them all to the bottom of the sea. This way of doing things is in line with Li Cong's philosophy of doing things.
"Yes." Desi's military salute was still very standard, and he immediately went down to deliver the order. In fact, even if he didn't tell the captains below, they all wanted to fire a few guns to try. Now that everything has come out, the first
Everyone has to warm up their hands at one time. After Desi's order, those warships that had not fired their guns immediately rushed forward. It seemed that if they rushed slower, this matter might not be their turn.
This thing lasted for about five minutes. After five minutes, these guys all became honest, because there was no target within their range on the sea, and now they couldn't attack even if they wanted to.
It's possible, because all the pirates except the ones at the back have already gone to the bottom of the sea.
The first and second masters all went down to feed the fish. The third master was so happy that he wanted to tell his men to sail away immediately. Two shells arrived in front of them. I'm telling you this, unless you are a fool.
, otherwise, let’s try our cannonballs. Naturally, the third master didn’t dare to joke with his own life, so he quickly ordered the ship to stop. In fact, they couldn’t escape no matter how fast they ran, but this
It's on the sea, so it's better to stop.
The remaining people basically had no idea of continuing to fight. Thousands of people in front of them died immediately, without even a hair left. In fact, their current distance could completely kill those who fell into the water.
They were picked up, but they didn't think of picking them up one by one. This was really against the rules. If they moved, the enemy's artillery hit their heads, and we would also fall into the water. How about we?
In this way, it is better for us to preserve our own.
Li Cong's marines quickly moved over and boarded the ship from the wooden planks with serial crossbows one by one. The pirates were really cooperative, and everyone was fighting on the deck.
They have never seen such an army or such an attack method. To be honest, they were frightened at the moment and would not have any other thoughts. Even if these people who came up told them to jump down, they would
I will definitely do it. If I don't do it, the consequences will be clear.
"Who is in charge? Our commander has something to ask him. You all have seen it clearly. If you are honest, you can still save your life. If you are not honest, don't blame us for being rude. You have also seen it clearly. We
They do things differently from the people you meet." A soldier from the Southern Empire said. His accent does not need to be heard. For now, this guy's accent is acceptable, and the others
It can be heard by others just by opening one's mouth.
"This... this military master is their third in charge. I don't know what his orders are, just tell me." Seeing everyone looking at him, the third in charge cursed in his heart that all these bandits have no conscience, Mom.
Yes, just now I was thinking that you were my men and I would take you away. Now you have betrayed yourself so easily one by one. There are only a few of you like me. If I had known better, I shouldn’t have taken you with me.
But now that people are asking questions, we can’t delay, right?
"The third master? What about the first master and the second master? Did you just find a guy to deal with me because of my low military rank? If that's the case, I think you should all be sent down. The fish below
But I like you very much." The platoon leader picked up the brim of his hat and said. At this moment, he felt a little bit that they were perfunctory with him. Did the boss not come out just because he had a low military rank? This *** is very harmful to him.
A huge provocation to the face.
"No, no, no... it's definitely not like that. It's because our eldest boss and second boss brought people there just now, and now they and our brothers have been tricked. In fact, this is because they overestimate their capabilities.
There is a direct relationship. Just now I saw the ships of the military masters and said that they were difficult to deal with. We should not go over and cause trouble to the military masters. These two guys did not listen to me and insisted on
Go over and take a look, isn't something wrong? The fortune teller said that if they are not careful this year, they will be in bloody disaster. Who knew that something would really happen to these two guys? Look at the two of them.
It looks like I don't have many days left." The little talker of the third master is still very good at talking. In a short time, he put all these things on other people, as if it was his own fault and no one else had it.
thing.
"Since that's the case, let me ask you. Listen to me. Just say whatever I ask. There are our ships all around. Even if you want to escape, it will not be easy.
There will be something done for you soon. If you all do well, you can be saved. If you don't do well, then don't blame us for being rude." Since they are going to attack the county town.
, these guys have been here for a long time, and they will definitely know a lot of information. It would be a shame for them not to use their information, so Li Cong felt that these people must give him
Doing things.
Soon the platoon leader asked for the news. They were the pirates around here, but they didn't know much about the news in the county. It can be said that they didn't know much more about the news in the county than Li Cong and the others.
, they really don’t have the guts to go to this county town. There are naval forces outside the county town, at least more than 20,000 naval forces, and nearly a hundred large ships. But another thing is that these naval forces are already
They haven't been out for a long time. It should be said that they are not very good at things like combat. It is also very difficult for them to go out to fight. Recently, their main task is to collect money.
The third master showed very little after meeting Li Cong. Li Cong also admired this guy's brain very much. Anyway, he also needed a consultant who understood local affairs, so he might as well just use this guy. The third master came since
He might be beheaded or something. He really didn't expect that his luck could be so good. He didn't need to lose his head. He even had work to do. He could follow such a person. He also saw the attack method of their fleet just now. This
If there is a navy, there is no need to be afraid. Twenty thousand navy? Then he is nothing in front of such a fleet. The navy people have to run when they see them, not to mention these people, their
Things are definitely very strong.
"Sir, we can see the mainland in about an hour ahead. There will probably be navy patrol boats on the periphery, but they may not be visible." The third boss hardly let his mouth wander along the way.
However, I just wanted to let Li Cong know that he would not suffer any loss if he hired this guy. Now this little talker is considered powerful.
"If the navy doesn't conduct patrols, what else will they do?" Li Cong never understood what this guy said. In Li Cong's impression, the navy's patrols should follow fixed routes on a regular basis. How could it not be the case?
"Sir, you don't know this. The Southern Empire has not encountered any enemies on the sea for more than 100,000 years. The navy can be said to be the most useless army. Except for the official ships, the Southern Empire has no ships.
There are not many civilian ships left, and there is no need for them to patrol. If these official ships go closer to the sea, the distance will be longer. They have to go along the coastline. We don’t dare to rob them so far away.
Those who have traveled long distances are also afraid of meeting us, so naturally they are unwilling to come out. Even the military headquarters of the Southern Empire has long believed that their navy is a bit redundant. In the past hundred years, the navy's salary has been easily eroded.
Misappropriated, their warships are older than they are, and they are not our opponents at all." When the third master talked about the navy of the Southern Empire, there was a look of disdain on his face. In his eyes,
Come on, there is no need for these navy roots to exist.
"Haha, the Southern Empire has really made a huge mistake. By the way, how do you feel about this ** county I am going to rob this time? How much wealth is there?" Li Cong is serious about this.
Yes, it doesn't matter what kind of navy he is. Whether he is strong or not, it has nothing to do with him, because his own army can kill them, so he is absolutely confident. (To be continued...)
