Chapter 412: Counterattack
With Lei Meng taking the lead, the rest of the people shouted one after another: "Revenge, we want revenge." ”
"Okay, you guys go down immediately and get ready for battle, let's rest for the night, and attack Black Dragon Island early tomorrow morning to take revenge. Wang Xiaoming said loudly.
"Yes, my subordinates are listening. The crowd also answered with a loud voice.
With current seafaring technology, it is impossible to find the other party at night sailing, so it is necessary to rest all night and wait until the next day to attack.
Besides, they have already experienced the battle today, and their physical strength and energy are very consumed, so it is more beneficial for them to rest for a while and recover their physical strength and energy before fighting.
Early the next morning, when the sky was still gray, and just a glimmer of light was released, the three seagoing ships that were still in good condition were ready and set off immediately.
The pirates' lair may still be hidden to ordinary people and the government, but to them and the pirates, it is not a secret, and the route and location of the advance are all clear.
There is also a considerable distance from Shuangjiao Island to Heilong Island, which starts at dawn in the morning, and when it is noon, it is considered to be close to Heilong Island.
At this time, Heilong Island was heavily guarded, and there were patrol ships ten miles around the island, and it was almost impossible to get close to it silently.
Wang Xiaoming didn't plan to approach silently, this time it was a tough battle.
The three sea ships were the first to meet the patrol boats, and without saying a word, the three sea ships opened fire.
After a bombardment, two of the patrolling ships were sunk, and one was fast enough, but it was wounded, but it was not sunk, and it was still escaped.
However, this did not make any difference, because as soon as the cannon fired, the sound immediately spread. Regardless of whether the other party escapes or not, the result is the same.
After the battle, the fleet continued to advance, and the ships patrolling were all light and fast fast boats, while the ships of Wang Xiaoming and others were equipped with cannons, and the tonnage was large, so the speed was naturally slower.
If you want to catch up with the patrolling clippers, that's impossible.
It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, anyway, Wang Xiaoming has the idea of attacking.
The alarm had already sounded on Black Dragon Island at this time, and the pirate leader Jiang Chen had a gloomy face.
He really didn't expect it. This time he attacked Shuangjiao Island, not only did he not reap the benefits, but he also lost his wife and his troops.
His own losses were already big enough, but the Wyvern pirates of Twin Horn Island didn't intend to let him go, and actually sent people to attack.
Jiang Chenna was really angry to the extreme, and immediately called all his subordinates to prepare for the battle.
said that it was to face the battle, but their main warships were under repair at this time, and it was not impossible to reluctantly go to war. But in this way, even if they win, they will lose a lot.
So how to go out and face the battle has become very important.
So the strategy they adopted was to defend and counterattack.
Of course, they don't think of the word defensive counter-attack. But the effect is the same.
It's not okay to take the initiative to fight, but the defense of Black Dragon Island is not bad, and the other party has not withdrawn if it is defended by Black Dragon Island. When your ship is repaired, you can attack and defeat your opponent.
As for the period of defense, he and others can only be beaten passively. There's no way around that.
But it doesn't matter, the other party can't be arrogant for too long.
Because according to the report of the ships that came back, there will not be too many ships on the other side, only three warships.
It's just that although there are not many ships on the other side, the firepower is very ferocious, and you have to deal with it carefully.
Just when Black Dragon Island was on full alert, the three warships of the Flying Dragon Pirate Group slowly appeared in the other party's sight.
The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the cannons on Black Dragon Island were ready to fire, but at this time, the three ships of the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment turned around and drove to the side.
Black Dragon Island is very large, more than ten times larger than Shuangjiao Island, and in terms of defense, the terrain is not as treacherous as Shuangjiao Island, but because of the larger area, the development potential is naturally greater.
There is only one pier on Heilong Island, and in the rest of the place, there is no pier, and small boats can get on and off freely, but large ships can't do this.
But in the same way, a lot of artillery was installed on the dock, and if you want to attack the dock, you have to pay a lot of price.
The Wyvern Pirates' ships headed in the other direction, apparently avoiding the docks and landing from the rest.
It's just that Jiang Chen and the others can't figure it out, the whole island can let the big ship get close to the landing place, and it's just the dock here, you have the use of turning the direction to fart, do you still want to rely on the small boat to send people to the island?
In this way, it is possible to send people to the island, but it is not right, because in this way, it is useless to send fewer people, and if there are more people, it is too late in time, and they will attack when the other party sends people, and naturally they will not let the opponent send too many people to the island.
Although he couldn't figure out the intentions of the Flying Dragon pirates, Jiang Chen still resolutely ordered people to follow the three sea ships and keep an eye on each other's actions at all times.
Soon, the purpose of the three sea ships was clearly investigated, the three sea ships were on the shore of Strange Tooth Ridge, and then quickly left, as for when they did it, they did not find it.
"What are they going to do in Strange Tooth Ridge?" Jiang Chen said suspiciously when he heard the information.
Strange Tooth Ridge is a cliff, although it is a deep water area, big ships can get close, but because it is a cliff, even if it is close, it is useless, so Jiang Chen is very strange, why does the other party want to dock here.
Could it be that this is just the other party's suspicions?
It's just that soon, there was a shout of killing from the direction of Strange Tooth Ridge.
Hearing the shouts of killing, Jiang Chen and the others were also taken aback.
After all, the ships of the Wyvern Pirate Regiment only stayed for a short time, and even if someone could go ashore, there would not be a few people, so what was the use of just a few people?
It's just that soon, Jiang Chen knew what the other party had to do by doing this.
Because the shouts and screams were getting closer and closer, the other party came to kill.
"This can't be!" Jiang Chen shouted, his voice full of unimaginable looks.
The other party came ashore from the Strange Tooth Ridge, and the time was so short, how many people could come up? Just a few people, and their own manpower couldn't deal with it?
"Let's go, go out with me to see and see, I want to see who has that much ability. Dare to come to us to find death. Jiang Chen waved his hand suddenly, lifted a big knife on the side of the chair with one hand, and walked out with his subordinates.
At this moment, the messenger from the front also came, only to see a pirate hurrying over.
"The leader is not good, not good. The pirate shouted as he ran, a look of panic on his face.
Jiang Chen's expression changed, and he scolded loudly: "What do you look like in a panic, you can't say anything well!"
The reprimanded pirate grimaced and said in horror, "Chief. It's really a big deal, and I can't stand it in front. ”
"Can't stand it, how many people are coming?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"One. The pirate said with a strange look.
"One, one will beat you to the ground?" Jiang Chen slapped angrily and threw it over, screaming at this subordinate and flying out.
"Let's go, come out with me to have a look, I want to see who is so powerful, is it still three heads and six arms. ”
Jiang Chen carried a single knife and strode out, not long after. The group walked out of the courtyard, reached the high place in front of them, looked ahead, and was taken aback.
Only a figure was seen walking back and forth in the crowd. Everywhere they passed, blood shot out, and corpses were everywhere.
"Is this guy still human?" said one of the pirate leaders, surprised at the sight of this.
The pirates around are still rushing fiercely, but where can they be the opponents of the other party, and the other party is like cutting melons and chopping vegetables. Easy to kill.
This killing god suddenly looked over to this side, and locked his gaze on Jiang Chen's body from afar. Facing the other party's target, Jiang Chen suddenly panicked.
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted loudly: "Quick, take out all the muskets, and bring the artillery to me, I really don't believe it, can this guy still be invulnerable." ”
The musket was quickly made, but there was really no way to do it with the cannon, the cannon was too cumbersome, and it was impossible to mobilize the cannon in a few hours.
Jiang Chen didn't run away either, as a pirate leader, he still had the courage to do so, but out of caution, he still let people arrange the back route, and also called more of his subordinates to come over and guard his side.
Hundreds of musketeers rushed forward in loose formation, not because they didn't want to line up, but because the terrain was such that a large-scale battle formation could not be lined up here.
In the midst of the explosion, the muskets fired, and a dense rain of bullets swept forward, and the pirates who did not have time to escape within the attack range were instantly smashed into a hornet's nest by the bullets.
More than a dozen pirates were wounded and killed by screams.
Looking at the figure again, it didn't dodge or dodge, so he rushed towards the barrage, and the bullet hit the body of this figure, but the other party still rushed over quickly without any reaction.
This figure is Wang Xiaoming, and only Wang Xiaoming can have this kind of skill.
Wang Xiaoming had already tried the weapons of this world before, and with his current ability, he wore a set of convenient chain mail on his body, and if a bullet hit his body, it would not cause harm at all.
Of course, if the other party takes out the artillery, Wang Xiaoming will naturally not be stupid to use his body to withstand the attack of the artillery, but the attack of the musket, no matter how much it comes, is useless.
Because of the power of the musket, for him, he didn't break the defense at all, and he didn't break the defense, so naturally there was no harm.
The scene of Wang Xiaoming still advancing quickly under the attack of the musket frightened everyone present.
Even the pirate leader Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
Although there are hard qigong and other kung fu in this world, no matter how hard qigong is, I have never heard of it being really invulnerable.
And obviously, this guy in front of him is really invulnerable.
The muskets are ineffective, and then these musketeers should be unlucky, Wang Xiaoming is advancing so fast, a round of gunfire has just ended, and even the gunpowder has not had time to be installed, Wang Xiaoming has already rushed into the musketeers.
The long sword in his hand blew like a gust of wind, and the musketeer could not resist such an attack at all, and in a flash of the sword, a musketeer was killed on the ground.
Wang Xiaoming felt that it was a pity to kill these people, but now was not the time to be soft, the enemy was outnumbered, and only killing could suppress them.
Jiang Chen was finally frightened at this time, and shouted loudly for his subordinates to rush forward, but he himself secretly retreated with his henchmen.
But it was too late to think of retreating.
Wang Xiaoming is also not in love with war, for those ordinary pirates, he is too lazy to kill them at all, he just chases and kills Jiang Chen, and the truth that the thief captures the king first, Wang Xiaoming is naturally very clear.
Jiang Chen was frightened and ran away desperately with his subordinates, but his speed was really not fast enough, and he was still chased by Wang Xiaoming.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoming was catching up, Jiang Chen was ruthless in his heart, and he didn't beg for mercy, but just raised the single knife in his hand and slashed towards Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming didn't use any other skills, just made a move against Jiang Chen, the sword fought, and with a ding, Jiang Chen's single knife was broken by a sword, and a sword light spread out on Jiang Chen's neck, and Jiang Chen's neck was cut down by a sword.
After killing Jiang Chen, Wang Xiaoming walked over quickly, raised Jiang Chen's head and shouted: "Jiang Chen is dead, if you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked, especially looking at Jiang Chen's bloody head, many people had already had the idea of surrendering.
It's just that there are still many people at the scene who are loyal to Jiang Chen, seeing that Jiang Chen was killed by Wang Xiaoming, and the head was still caught in his hands, he immediately shouted angrily: "The leader is not thin on everyone, we have to avenge the leader, kill." ”
Wang Xiaoming smiled coldly, holding a long sword in one hand and a head in the other, he rushed towards the other party, the long sword in his hand flashed quickly, and these pirates who were still thinking about revenge were instantly killed on the spot.
As soon as Wang Xiaoming's body moved, he immediately rushed towards those hesitant pirates.
"Kneel down to avoid death!"
Holding Jiang Chen's head in one hand and a long sword in the other, Wang Xiaoming killed all the way through like this, still shouting in his mouth: "Kneel down to avoid death." ”
As long as you kneel, you can avoid death.
It's just that Wang Xiaoming's movements were too fast, and those pirates were still hesitating, and they were killed before they had time to kneel, which can be regarded as a wrongful death.
Finally, in the face of Wang Xiaoming's killing, some pirates couldn't bear the pressure, and knelt down as soon as their legs were weak.
When he knelt down, Wang Xiaoming walked past him, and indeed did not kill him, and the kneeling pirate suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
The role of example was so great that when the first pirate knelt down and surrendered, the rest of the pirates immediately followed suit.
The pirates then set an example, and many more were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and fell to their knees.
Two hours later, Black Dragon Island was occupied by Wang Xiaoming. (To be continued......)
