Chapter 405: Kill the island
Hearing Wang Xiaoming say that he was going to drive the pirate ship back, the village chief suddenly felt inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Wang Gongzi, this matter must not be revealed, the ship must not be revealed in front of people, otherwise, if the government knows, it will definitely come to the door to find trouble." ”
Although the government does not prohibit the private sector from owning a boat, you have to pay taxes if you own a boat, and if you have a back, you can take less, if you don't have a background, it will be very troublesome.
That's why Village Chief Li will stop it.
Village Chief Li has another proposal, these sea ships are not allowed to show their faces, but they must have a good name, and they must first open up the joints, otherwise, it will appear rashly, absolutely not.
In addition, if Wang Xiaoming wants to make a difference in the future, these sea ships can be used for maritime trade, but in the initial stage, they can be carried out secretly, and the existence of these sea ships does not need to be known to others.
Wang Xiaoming also nodded secretly when he heard this.
After the discussion was completed, Village Chief Li and the others immediately went separately, looking for people to find people, and preparing materials for preparation.
If you want to drive a boat, they are a fishing village here, and there is absolutely no shortage of experts who can drive a boat, but to fight pirates, it is not enough to have someone who can drive a boat, but also a good hand who can fight on a sea ship, and more importantly, a guide who is familiar with the sea route, without a guide, it is impossible to go to the pirate's lair.
Although Wang Xiaoming has caught several pirates and interrogated them, it is safer to find a few guides on the premise that the life bracelet is useless and he can't tell whether the other party is lying or not.
Village Chief Li and others are all local snakes, and they know the local situation very well, and they are also handy to do these things.
It only took two hours to find all the personnel, and found more than two hundred people, enough to drive two pirate ships, and half of the two hundred people were masters who could kill people with knives and guns. Although they are fishermen, if they want to live here, they will never be able to live without a little force and ferocity.
As for the guide, one person was also found.
This guide was invited from a neighboring village, nicknamed Old Man Shui, but he was able to name it because he had excellent water nature, Old Man Water also worked as a pirate when he was young, and he knew the situation around him very well and the number of pirates, and now he is older. He won't be a pirate, but everyone is a neighbor and naturally knows his details.
This time, it also cost a lot of silver coins to invite the old man out of the water.
The old man also said first, he was only responsible for leading the way, and he was not involved in the fighting.
Everyone understands the principle of the speed of soldiers, and it is necessary to kill the pirates' lair before they react, otherwise, things will be even more troublesome when the pirates react.
After the personnel arrived. Cook on the fire immediately, and set off immediately after a full meal.
With these sailors, the two pirate ships also started moving, and then guided the old man of the water under the road. Make your way to the pirates' lair.
The pirate's lair is not secret, as long as the nearby fishermen know where the pirate's lair is, it is not difficult to find the lair.
The difficulty is that the pirates' nests are built on islands that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most of the islands will also have artillery, and it will not be easy to attack the pirate's lair.
So this operation is not a storming of the pirate's lair. Instead, he took the opportunity to let Wang Xiaoming sneak into the pirate's lair.
With the sailors in charge, the two pirate ships set off quickly and headed for the pirate lair.
Half a day later, the pirate ship approached the pirate's lair, and in the distance you could see a crescent-shaped island.
At this moment, a pirate ship approached quickly, and there were still people waving flags on the pirate ship.
This is a patrolling pirate ship, relying on flags to communicate with each other, fortunately, the flags have been asked, and Wang Xiaoming's pirate ship is also hurriedly playing flags.
The flag was opposed, and the patrolling pirate ship saw that it was ignoring, so it turned around and continued to patrol.
The first level was successfully passed.
In a short time, the two pirate ships approached the island, but at this time they could not continue towards the entrance to the island.
Because at the entrance to the island, a checkpoint was set up by pirates, and every returning pirate ship had to be checked at the checkpoint, and there was no problem before it could be released and let the pirate ship enter the dock on the island.
Wang Xiaoming's boat could not withstand the inspection, and it would be exposed as soon as it was checked, so they could not enter through the main entrance, but had to make a detour to the side of the island and go to the island from the side.
The sides of the island are not so easy to climb, they are all cliffs, and you can't go up at all.
However, this is for ordinary people, for Wang Xiaoming, these steep hanging rock cliffs are very easy to go up.
When the sea boat approached the cliff, Wang Xiaoming jumped into the water from the sea boat, swam towards the shore, and arrived on the shore after a while.
These sailors are fishermen on the beach, and all of them are good at water, but compared with Wang Xiaoming, who was swimming at this time, their water nature is not worth mentioning at all.
The more surprising thing was still to come, and I saw Wang Xiaoming get to the shore and climb up the rock wall with his hands and feet easily.
That kind of steep rock wall, they feel scared just by looking at it, and they can't be afraid of it with their bare hands, but Wang Xiaoming is on that rock wall, but he is walking on the ground, just a blink of an eye Wang Xiaoming climbed halfway up the mountain, and after a while, he was already on the cliff.
Wang Xiaoming, who went up the cliff, also breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked around with his eyes.
Perhaps because the pirates thought that it was impossible for people to come up to the hanging rock cliffs, there were no pirate patrols in the surrounding generation, which facilitated Wang Xiaoming's actions.
Looking around from the cliff, about half a mile away is a cluster of houses, one of the pirate settlements.
Wang Xiaoming was not in a hurry to start working, but wanted to investigate the situation clearly.
After Wang Xiaoming's investigation, the situation on the island was all figured out by him.
The area of this island is not large, but the scale is not small, there are more than 1,000 alien pirates, not including their families, in addition to the alien pirates, there are also many people of the Great Zhou. But looking at the situation of these Great Zhou people, they are obviously slaves with no status on the island, and the dirty work and chores are all done by these Great Zhou people.
The people of the Great Zhou are more numerous than the foreign pirates, but the people of the Great Zhou do not dare to resist in the face of these pirates, and it can be said that they are obedient.
However, this is also understandable, although the number of pirates is small, they are all fierce and fierce, and they are not something that these ordinary people can deal with.
The layout of the entire island has also been investigated, and on the top floor of the island is the presence of watchtowers and cells. Those who were able to live in the top cells were taken hostages.
The guards of the cell are not strict, but there is only one path to go down the mountain after leaving the cell, and the path is guarded by pirates, so there is no way to escape, and it is impossible to come and rescue the hostages.
At the top of the hill, on the mountainside, were the pirates' dwellings, and the houses were closely stationed on this narrow terrain, and judging by the good houses in them. It was supposed to be where the pirate leader lived.
The pirates live further down to the place where the people of the Great Zhou live, and the people of the Great Zhou are not treated so well, the environment in which they live is much worse than that of the pirates, and the places where the people of the Great Zhou live are not close together. Instead, it was divided into several areas, each of which was inhabited by a certain number of Great Zhou people, and pirates were also stationed in them to prevent these Great Zhou people from doing anything they shouldn't do.
Go out again from the residence of the people of Da Zhou. Then we got to the docks, which were so important to the pirates that bunkers were built on the docks. Blocking the road between the island and the wharf, with this bunker, the people of the Great Zhou will not be able to escape at all.
There is also a cannon barrel extending from the pillbox, and the cannon is very large, but from a distance, the shape of the cannon shows that the cannon is very inferior in workmanship.
There are a total of three cannons on the pillbox.
In addition to the cannons on the pillboxes, there are also cannons on several high places on the island, and the number of cannons on the whole island is only eight, and there are not even ten.
Moreover, these cannons are all land cannons set up on land, not naval cannons installed on battleships, and I don't know if they already have naval cannons in this world.
The cannons on the island are all external, Wang Xiaoming is already on the island, but he is not afraid of these cannons.
Besides, with the accuracy of these cannons, it is difficult to be hit even if they are within the range of the cannons.
There were also a lot of pirate ships, more than fifty ships of all sizes, but there were more than a dozen ships that could be used for battle, and the rest were small boats.
Wang Xiaoming's gaze swept over the harbor, and an iron fence was set up on the harbor wharf in the narrowest place, and it was necessary to pass through the iron fence to pass through, and once the iron fence was lowered, the enemy could be blocked out of the harbor, and the iron fence could not be opened in a short time.
But on the other hand, once the iron fence is lowered, then there is no way for the ships in the harbor to get out.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming already had an idea, he had to put down the iron fence first, so that the pirates on the island would be turtles in the urn, and he could deal with them as he wanted.
In the largest house on the island, pirate leaders are gathering.
The biggest pirate leader, Saburo Tsugi, frowned and said, "What's the matter, doesn't there be any news from the third child?"
"There's still no news, but the boss doesn't have to worry too much, the third with two ships, one hundred and fifty people, it's not easy to leave him behind, besides, he's not stupid, he will definitely run the fastest when he encounters hard bones, and there will definitely be no accidents." ”
Tsugi Saburo shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that the third child will go ashore to rob again, and I'm not afraid of anything at sea, I can run if I can't win, but if I go ashore, I'm in trouble, and I have nowhere to run if I want to." ”
For the third child's virtue, they are clear, the most greedy, if you encounter a fishing village on the way to patrol, maybe you will go ashore to rob it, this kind of thing, the third child has not done it once or twice, and several times he has encountered danger, but in the end he escaped.
Although they are pirates, they are not the only family, there are opponents, and there is also the government, and no one can say for sure when something will happen.
The matter of the third child, they just said it casually, after all, the third child went to patrol outside, even if he wanted to call people back, there was no way at this time.
After talking about the third thing, several pirate leaders talked about the recent business, the recent trade on the sea is getting more and more difficult to do, the number of pirates is increasing, the competition is becoming more and more fierce, last month and another group of pirates also had a fight, although the battleship was not damaged, but the manpower died dozens of people, in the long run, the manpower is definitely not enough, but also to consider recruiting some more people from the hometown.
Just when a few people were discussing matters in the hall, suddenly there was an exclamation outside, and a henchman also ran in quickly.
As he ran in, he shouted, "The leader is not good, the gate has been cut and the chain has been cut, and the gate has fallen." ”
The floodgates can be big or small, which can block foreign enemies and also restrict them from going out, especially now that the gates are artificially lowered, and the matter is even more serious.
The pirate leader immediately stood up and shouted fiercely: "What, if anyone dares to come here to make trouble, go out with me to see who is so bold." ”
As a pirate leader, he has extremely rich combat experience, and even in anger, he has not forgotten the essentials of battle, and various orders are issued quickly.
The pirate leader's men left in a hurry to deliver the order.
When the pirate leader walked out of the room and looked towards the gate, he immediately saw that the huge metal gate had fallen from a high place, separating the inside and the outside.
The gate was made of bronze, so strong and thick that once it fell, it would be absolutely difficult to open in a short period of time.
Looking above the gate again, you can see a figure climbing quickly along the cliffs on both sides of the gate, seeing the cliff as if it were nothing, as if walking on the ground at a very fast speed, it can be seen from this skill that this is definitely not an ordinary person.
The pirate leader's gaze fell on the figure, his gaze full of solemnity.
He never imagined that someone could move so fast on a cliff.
Of course, if you climb the cliff well, it doesn't mean that your combat effectiveness will be strong, but in terms of the experience of the pirate leader, if you can have this kind of person who can move quickly on the cliff, the combat effectiveness will definitely not be bad.
In the blink of an eye, the figure ran along the cliff to the island, and then jumped over a long cliff, a distance of more than 20 meters, as if flying into the sky, this scene made the pirates present look stupid.
The figure crossed the cliff and was halfway up the mountain, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, a nearby pirate was immediately beheaded by a sword, and then the pirates woke up and rushed over with a shout and a wave of their weapons. (To be continued......)
