Chapter 687: Alliance
The Spider Pirates had been enemies of the Middle Realm Island for a while, so we did some research on them and got a little idea of what was going on on the island.
Spider Island is full of spiders, and one of the abilities of the spider demon general is that he can sense enemies through these spiders. So, when you landed on Spider Island, you were already discovered. ”
I see, no wonder those pirates showed up so quickly.
"Moreover, there are many tunnels underground on Spider Island, and pirates are hiding inside, and they can attack people on the ground at any time, which is difficult to guard. Yoko continued.
This was already speculated when Wu Song was on Spider Island at that time.
"If you want to attack Spider Island and rescue your people, you need to fly into Spider Island from the sky. You're here for the right place, the island has the people you need right now. Yoko smiled.
"Who?" Wu Song asked.
"You should be able to think of it, Brother Wu Song. "Yoko deliberately sold a pass.
"Oh, I remember, it's him. Wu Song said suddenly.
Yoko called one of his subordinates and gave a few orders, and then the subordinate went out. Soon, a man pushed the door open.
"Brother Wu Song, long time no see. The person who came warmly hugged Wu Song and said with a smile.
"General Fei, long time no see. Wu Song said with a smile.
The man was tall, with a pair of wings under his ribs, and a resolute face. This person is none other than a member of the Middle Boundary Island, Feiguang. At the beginning of the defense battle of Moby Dick City, the two cooperated tacitly and defeated the pirates of the Wang family, and since then they have formed a deep friendship.
Feiguang can fly, and he also has an elite squad that can fly. He can fly into Spider Island and join Wu Songli.
The matter was settled, and Feiguang left Zhongjie Island with a team of more than a dozen people and Wu Song.
Half an hour later, the group returned to Guan Fei's ship.
Next, they rushed to Spider Island, ready to take action that night.
In the evening, they came to the outer waters of Spider Island. Along the way, Wu Song and the others had already made plans.
Wu Song led the people into Spider Island first, attracting the attention of the spider demon generals and pirates. Later, Feiguang and his people flew into Spider Island to find the astrologer.
The plan has been decided, just wait for night to fall.
At the end of the day, night had covered the land, and the crowd was about to take action, when suddenly the lookout on the mast reported that he had spotted a ship rapidly approaching.
Guan Fei was taken aback and said, "Could it be that the spider pirates have discovered us, and they have taken the initiative to attack us?"
When they came to the deck, they saw a few lights faintly a few nautical miles to the south, from which it could be inferred that there were three large ships there.
The three ships were fan-shaped and outflanked the crowd.
"It's definitely the enemy, they want to surround us, the original plan can't be executed, we need to run for our lives first. Guan Fei said eagerly, and from the formation of the three ships, he judged that the other party was not good.
Guan Fei ordered the sailors to turn the bow of the ship and flee quickly.
All three ships were warships, not only were they equipped with guns, but they were also faster than ordinary ships.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly decreasing, and after a quarter of an hour, the two sides were separated by less than two nautical miles.
"Boom!" A shell landed more than a dozen meters to the left of Guan Fei's ship.
"They're adjusting their direction, and soon the shells will be on our ship. Guan Fei said.
The second shell landed a few meters to the left of the ship, and then the third shell accurately hit Guan Fei's boat.
The shell landed on the deck, blowing a big hole in the deck.
At this point, the pirates completed the calibration of the guns, and the subsequent shells landed on the ship one after another. Guan Fei's ship did not have artillery, so it was impossible to return artillery fire, so it could only be beaten passively.
The three ships were more than a mile away, and the sailors on the ships could not shoot them with bows and arrows.
Now the only way is to try to get rid of those three ships. Guan Fei has been to this sea area many times before and is very familiar with the geography here.
He knew that a few nautical miles ahead there was a reef. As long as the ship can be driven there, it is possible to use the underwater reef to cause the enemy's ship to run aground and sink.
Guan Fei ordered the sailors to hurry there.
One by one, the shells fell on the ship, and the ship had already been blown out of several large holes, and if it continued like this, they would soon be sunk.
A quarter of an hour later, they came to the reef.
Guan Fei took the place of the sailor and personally took the helm. Because the terrain here is complicated, if you are not careful, you will run into the reef and sink.
The three boats behind appeared to be unaware and followed at full speed.
Guan Fei cautiously drove the boat into the reef area.
The boats behind followed closely and were about to rush into the reef, when suddenly, all three boats stopped.
Guan Fei secretly said that it was a pity, I don't understand what is going on, could it be that he showed his feet somewhere?
Wu Song pointed ahead and said, "There is a boat there." ”
Two nautical miles in front of the crowd, a bright light lit up, and it could be seen that it was a large ship. The people on the boat were shaking the lights, which meant to stop the three boats behind.
Guan Fei secretly said that it was not good, in this way, they were equivalent to getting into the pit themselves and being outflanked by both ends.
Sure enough, the ship in front and the three ships behind fired at the same time, and the shells fell on Guan Fei's ship one after another.
This time, they didn't even have a place to hide. There are reefs all around, and if you turn the hull of the boat, it is very easy to touch the reef, and the ship will sink faster.
Just when everyone was in a desperate situation, suddenly, a cannon sound sounded not far away.
Several mysterious ships emerged from the darkness and launched an artillery attack on the four ships besieging Wu Song.
None of the four ships expected the enemy to appear from behind and were taken by surprise. Immediately, a ship was sunk.
The other three ships began to fight back, but the fire of the mysterious ship was extremely fierce, and after a while, the three ships could not hold out.
One more ship was sunk, and the other two chose to retreat.
A boat drove closer, and the boat waved a flag, saying that they were their own people, and asked Wu Song and them to come out to meet each other.
Wu Song and the others drove the boat out of the reef area, and then the other party drove a small boat.
The group boarded the boat where Wu Song was, and the leader was magnificent, with the demeanor of a leader.
Wu Song recognized this person, he was the young master of the Wang family's pirates, or he used to be the young master, the eldest of the three brothers of the Wang family, Wang Gong.
This was really beyond Wu Song's expectations, he didn't expect that the person who saved them would be Wang Gong.
"Don't be in charge!" Guan Fei saw that the person who came was Wang Gong, and immediately saluted. Although he is no longer a member of the Wang family's pirates, when he sees Wang Gong, he will still salute as before.
"You're welcome, you're no longer a member of the royal pirates, so you don't have to salute me. Wang Gong said, and then he focused his eyes on Wu Song's body, and said, "Monk Wu Song, don't come unharmed." ”
Wu Songhu said suspiciously, "You too, Wang Gong, don't come to harm, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, why do you want to save us?"
Wu Song and Wang Gong had a lot of ties before, and in the defense of Moby Dick City, Wu Song not only helped the defenders of Moby Dick City defeat the Wang pirates, but also almost captured Wang Gong, who led the Wang pirates at that time.
This hatred, Wu Song believes, Wang Gong will not be so easy to forget.
Therefore, Wang Gong saved them this time, which made Wu Song very puzzled.
"We had some festivals before, but that's all in the past, and we shouldn't hold on to it anymore. Wang Gong said, "Do you know who attacked you just now?"
"The three ships that pursued us before were supposed to be spider pirates, but I don't know who the ship that appeared later was. Guan Fei frowned, "That ship is very familiar with the terrain here, and it shouldn't be from the Spider Pirates' side." ”
"Yes, the ship that appeared later was not a spider pirate, but a member of our royal pirates, who served my third brother. Wang Gongdao.
Wang Gong's third brother is named Wang Ming, who is 27 years old this year and is insidious and cunning. He was the youngest of the three brothers, but he was the most loved by Wang Jing. Relying on the favor of Wang Jing, Wang Ming has developed a reckless character since he was a child.
This time the infighting in the Wang family was first provoked by Wang Ming.
"If they serve your third brother, then why do they want to attack us with the Spider Pirates?" Wu Song wondered, "Could it be that he and the Spider Pirates have joined forces?"
"It is worthy of Brother Wu Song, and he immediately figured out the key to it. Wang Gong said, "Although the pirates of my Wang family are now divided, their strength is still above that of other pirates.
This sea area is now my third brother's territory, without my third brother's acquiescence, how dare the spider pirates come here?"
"But why is that?" Guan Fei wondered, "Why did the third prince unite with outsiders to ruin his family's reputation?"
"I guess it's for the throne of the royal pirate leader. Wu Song said, "If he wants to become the leader of the Wang family's pirates, he must defeat his two elder brothers, and he thinks that he doesn't have this strength, so the only way is to form an alliance with others to strengthen his own power."
His chosen allies are the Spider Pirates, and in return, they acquiesce in robbing and killing people in their own territory. ”
"A good word," Wang Gong said approvingly, "my third brother has had a strong desire for power since he was a child, and he can do anything for this. I wonder if my third brother has been heard from my father so far. ”
"Young master, do you mean that the third prince kidnapped the old man?" Guan Fei said.
"It's just speculation," Wang said, "I don't have conclusive evidence." ”
"You saved us, presumably to deal with your third brother, right?" Wu Song said.
"Exactly, my third brother is a wolf and has coveted the position of the Wang family's pirate family for a long time. He's always regarded me as a thorn in his side, his strength is on par with mine, and now that he's co-opted the Spider Pirates, I'm not as good as you.
In order to protect myself, I must first strike and get rid of my third brother. Wang Gongdao.
"What do you want to do?" Wu Song asked.
