After greeting everyone, Du Wanqing introduced several of the pirate leaders, these pirate leaders are his father's old brothers, henchmen, and are the most loyal to the cyclops, so after the cyclops was killed, he still chose to follow with his men.

It's just that such manpower does not occupy a special position in the entire Tiger Pirate Regiment.

Of course, this also has something to do with the sudden killing of the one-eyed tiger, one is that the dragons are leaderless, and many of the one-eyed tiger's henchmen have also been killed in the previous mutation.

As soon as the leader died, the remaining little pirates suddenly lost control, and they didn't know who to listen to.

As a result, the manpower was even more scarce, and in the end, there were only five pirate leaders who came out with him, and the troops that could be brought out were only 12,300 people.

Although the troops are scarce, they are all elite pirates, and if they can absorb this force, they will still be able to greatly enhance the strength of Wang Xiaoming's Flying Dragon Pirates.

In addition to the pirate soldiers, there were obviously more pirate fishermen who came with them, almost 20,000 people.

These fishermen are inextricably linked to these pirate leaders, and they can also be said to be the families of these pirates, so they must come along.

Before Wang Xiaoming could speak, one of the pirate leaders glanced at Wang Xiaoming, hugged his fists and said: "Boss Wang, I'm a big boss, I can't say those kind words, if you don't say it well, please don't be surprised." ”

"Naturally not, please say. Wang Xiaoming smiled and said, "Naturally, you won't be surprised, please say it." ”

"Then I'll just say it, I'm very grateful to Boss Wang for coming to the rescue, I don't thank you for my kindness, I will naturally repay the favor if it is useful to me in the future, but I have so many brothers and family members under my hands, I don't think about myself. Think about them too, so ......"

Saying this, the pirate leader's face also showed a look of shame.

People saved you, but you want to leave, naturally you will be a little ashamed in your heart, but no matter how ashamed you are, you have to leave, because he is not optimistic about Wang Xiaoming.

Don't look at Wang Xiaoming, who is very powerful on land, but pirates rely on the sea to eat, and naval warfare is completely different from land warfare.

Naval battles depended on big ships, cannons and gunners. And these, Wang Xiaoming said that the Flying Dragon Pirate Group led did not have.

He admired Wang Xiaoming's skills and was grateful to Wang Xiaoming for saving his life, but that's all, he had to consider his way out and his brothers' net worth.

The Flying Dragon Pirate Group is too small, he doesn't want to go over, he still knows a lot of pirates among the pirates, he can go to these old brothers, and he will still be happy in the future.

Wang Xiaoming nodded silently when he heard this. This is the human heart, and it is indeed the most complex and unpredictable human heart.

Wang Xiaoming turned his head to look at the rest of the people again, some of them had calm faces, and some of them lowered their heads and did not speak. Others had angry expressions on their faces.

Everyone has their own ideas and codes of conduct.

Wang Xiaoming also understands this, so naturally he will not force these people to leave.

Wang Xiaoming looked at the rest of the people. said: "This brother's words are not rude, and I am also here to stay for myself, but I am also ugly in front." I naturally can't control what I choose to go, I just choose to stay, and I will be my own person in the future, so the rules I set will naturally have to be followed. ”

"Choose what you want to go, and you can go now. ”

"Boss Wang, I'm really offended, and there will be a period later. The rest of the pirate leaders also said they wanted to leave.

Three of the five pirate leaders left, only two chose to stay, and the rest of the small pirate leaders followed, leaving more than half of them, leaving a small half, and most of the ships parted ways here.

Du Wanqing was a little angry about this, but in Wang Xiaoming's opinion, the situation was not bad.

Those who want to leave, what's the use of forcing them to stay, it's better to let them leave, and they can also make their forces more pure and easier to manage.

When these people left, Wang Xiaoming turned his head to look at the remaining pirates, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I won't say much nonsense about the rest, I just want to say one thing, you can stay, it is our honor to be willing to join our Flying Dragon Pirate Group, and it is also your luck, after joining our Flying Dragon Pirate Group, I will treat you equally, and I will definitely not discriminate against you." ”

"Okay, with Boss Wang's words, I can rest assured, Boss Wang, please rest assured, we are also really willing to follow you, I am not blind to this pair of eyes, I can also see that Boss Wang is a person who can do great things, and there will definitely be a future with Boss Wang. ”

Wang Xiaoming gave another word of encouragement, and let everyone go down to rest.

These pirates, all of whom had been wounded in the previous battle, naturally needed to go down and rest now.

This time, Wang Xiaoming didn't expect that there would be such a big harvest and so many things.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, in general, I finally survived and gained a lot.

First of all, it was the harvest of personnel, and in the end, in addition to more than 600 pirate soldiers, there were also 7,000 or 8,000 fishermen, and there were also a lot of various materials.

Among the materials, there is a batch of materials that Wang Xiaoming values the most, that is, the raw materials that Du Wanqing was ordered to collect before, including raw materials for making gunpowder and raw materials for making cannons and muskets.

After these raw materials are brought back to Black Dragon Island, they will soon be crafted into finished products, thus increasing the strength of Wang Xiaoming's pirates.

When I returned to the voyage, I was lucky, I followed the wind and water, stayed on the road for the night, and rushed back to Heilong Island early the next morning.

Shuangjiao Island is too small, so it can only be placed on Black Dragon Island.

After the fleet arrived at Heilong Island, it was busy for a long time before arranging the ship's personnel.

However, this is just a matter of settling down, and it is not easy to collect this power for your own use, nor can it be done in a short time.

Wang Xiaoming didn't have to worry about the reorganization, naturally there would be subordinates to do it, Wang Xiaoming had already written a manual before, and all kinds of rules and regulations were written into the manual, how to reorganize the new soldiers, it was also written into the manual a long time ago, and it only needed to be implemented according to the records in the manual.

Wang Xiaoming's main job now is to build more powerful weapons.

To say a powerful weapon. The light brain in Wang Xiaoming's mind is full of manufacturing methods for various weapons, but unfortunately, this world cannot use electronic devices, and many things cannot be made.

Not to mention electronics, even things like engines are difficult to manufacture now.

Well, it's too far to say that's all that,

Let's face the crisis in front of us.

Although he had already said with the sick tiger Du Hai that he would not come to trouble for three months, Wang Xiaoming absolutely believed that as long as the sick tiger Du Hai had integrated his forces. Definitely will attack at the first opportunity.

There will definitely not be much time left for Wang Xiaoming.

It is unrealistic to build new sea ships in the current situation, and only the construction of completely new weapons can change the situation.

After comprehensive consideration, Wang Xiaoming chose a new weapon for the upcoming naval battle.

Rocket.

The principle of rockets is not complicated, and it can be said that the history of rockets is also very long, and there are armies that have made rockets into weapons and used them a long time ago.

It's just that those rockets are not powerful at all, and they are more terrifying than destructive.

Of course, the rockets designed and manufactured by Wang Xiaoming are completely different.

At present, there are only three models of rockets designed and manufactured by Wang Xiaoming.

One is the individual rocket, which is very well understood, and it is a weapon that can be used by a single individual. Also known as a shoulder-fired man-fired rocket.

Individual rockets have a short range and weak power, but the advantage is also obvious, that is, it is very convenient to use. A single soldier can carry it on his shoulder, fight wherever he goes, and adapt to all terrain, in a single weapon. It's a huge power.

The ultimate range of the individual rocket is 300 meters, and the warhead is equipped with a trigger device, which will explode when it hits the target. The explosion has a radius of 10 meters and deals a lethal attack within a radius of 5 meters.

That is to say, within a range of five meters, once it breaks out, it can basically kill the enemy.

Among the individual weapons, rockets are definitely one of the most powerful weapons, and the only reason that restricts this kind of weapons and equipment is that there are too many materials used to make this kind of weapon, and the consumption of artillery shells is too large.

You know, it takes only a little bit of gunpowder to make a bullet, and the dose of gunpowder to make a rocket is enough to make hundreds of bullets, and the gap is still very obvious.

The biggest consumption of gunpowder by rockets is the propulsion power part, and under the existing conditions, gunpowder can only be used for propulsion before better propulsion fuel cannot be found.

The second type of rocket is a honeycomb medium rocket.

As the name suggests, this rocket is honeycomb-shaped, and a rocket has 30 barrels and can fire 30 rockets in a row.

And because it is a medium-sized rocket, each rocket is twice as large as a single rocket, the range is longer, it can reach 500 meters, and the armor-piercing ability is also more powerful, enough to penetrate the deck of an ordinary sea ship, as for the explosion power, it is needless to say.

Medium-sized rockets are large in size and relatively heavy, with a total weight of around 1,000 kilograms, which is not so easy to move, so this weapon is best used for defense, or installed on sea vessels.

Medium rockets are actually less powerful, but they are more powerful, and they are better weapons against small boats and scattered targets.

The last type of rocket is a large rocket.

Large rockets are naturally larger than medium rockets, and this type of rocket is also specially designed to deal with large sea vessels.

The range of large rockets reached 1,500 meters, but at this distance, there was almost no impact, and it was too far to hit the target.

It is better to use this weapon within a thousand meters, close enough, the probability of hitting is greater.

Large rockets are single-shot weapons that are specifically aimed at large ships, and only one rocket is enough to sink a large sea ship, so you can imagine the power of this weapon.

In fact, many advantages of artillery surpass rockets, for example, cannon shells are easier to make, and the gunpowder used is more rare, while rockets are more difficult to make, and more gunpowder is consumed when making.

But there is one advantage of rockets over artillery shells.

That is, rockets are easier to grasp than artillery, and they are easier to hit targets.

The trajectory of the rocket is relatively agreeable, and it is enough to fire the rocket at the target, but the artillery shell is different, especially in the very rough sea, it is more difficult to accurately hit the target with artillery.

The pirates under Wang Xiaoming can only be regarded as novices, and it is definitely not easy for them to use artillery to attack their opponents.

However, it is different when it is replaced by rockets, and within a range of 500 meters, medium-sized rockets can be hit wherever they are, and they are definitely better than artillery at a time.

It's just that then again, rockets can only be weapons in the transitional period at this stage, and it is more appropriate to use artillery as the main weapon of a battleship, and rockets can be used as auxiliary weapons.

Although rockets have many advantages, they also have many disadvantages, especially in terms of the difficulty of crafting more than ordinary weapons.

Before the number of rockets in Wang Xiaoming's plan was completed, the other party had already called the door.

It's just that, unlike the expected revenge of the sick tiger, this time it was not the sick tiger's men and horses who came to the door, but the rest of the pirates.

The news brought back by the ships patrolling the open sea showed that a total of three pirates had joined forces to attack, and these three pirates were the Devil Pirates, the Blood Sword Pirates, and the Yellow Springs Pirates.

These three pirates are also as their name suggests, they are not good things, they have a bad reputation outside, every time they encounter a robbed ship, they have to take away all the goods, and the people on board are also killed.

If these three pirates were allowed to kill Black Dragon Island, Black Dragon Island would definitely be slaughtered and turned into a desert island.

In the face of the attack of the three pirates, although Wang Xiaoming was not fully prepared, he immediately ordered to prepare for the battle.

The terrain of Heilong Island is open, which is not conducive to defense, so those sea ships can't drive away, all of them have to stay on the dock to prepare for the battle, if the sea ships go away, with the situation on Heilong Island at this time, they really can't stop the opponent's attack.

You must know that this time the three pirates joined forces, but more than 200 large and small sea ships were dispatched, which is not trivial, and if you are not careful, you may be killed by the other party on the island.

The alarm of the war has sounded all over the island, Wang Xiaoming had done a drill before, so after the alarm sounded, all the personnel were methodically doing the corresponding things according to their own identities, ordinary fishermen immediately took their families to hide, and the pirate soldiers were ready to fight.
