Chapter 153: Benefits
This is one of the most vicious pirates in the world, and most of the remaining pirates were stabbed by a few dung forks or pierced through the throat with an iron spear when they first emerged.
Not to mention attacking from the bottom to the top, there is no foothold, and such a terrain is too unfavorable for the pirates.
Cheng Kong didn't even shoot an arrow, and the whole battle was over.
Obviously, Ma Laosan's use of farmers is much more reasonable than Cheng Kong's, and even the most cowardly farmer has stabbed a dung fork a few times.
This is a battle with no way out, and if you can't hold the ship's side, then wait for death.
Ma Laosan took advantage of the panic in the farmer's heart, but made them pluck up the courage to fight the pirates.
It seems that Ma Laosan has learned management well, at least much better than Cheng Kong.
After the battle, the pirate gunners immediately pounced on the corpses of the pirates, searched and stripped and grabbed the scimitars, one by one like bandits descending the mountain, turning the neatly dressed pirate corpses into naked corpses.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the corpses to begin to decompose, stopping them from doing so.
"What is this?" Cheng Kong was a little dumbfounded, the scimitars, clothes, and even accessories that were supposed to be decomposed with the corpse were completely out of touch with the decomposition after falling into the pirate gunner.
"The special ability of pirates, looting, being able to loot corpses, buildings and much more."
Ma Laosan was not at all surprised by this scene, as the owner of the pirate ship, he knew this when he occupied the pirate ship.
To Cheng Kong's surprise, the pirate gunners then stepped off the deck. Throw the things you grabbed into the alchemy circle, exchange them for gold coins, and then hand over the gold coins to Ma Laosan.
Ma Laosan frowned. It seemed that he felt that the benefit was not much, so he turned to Cheng Kong and asked, "Lend me another 1,100 gold coins?" ”
"No, there is only a little gold coin left that was just collected from the farm, less than two hundred."
It is true that 1,100 gold coins can buy two more iron cannons and ten gunners, but Cheng Kong touched the money bag. Decisive refusal.
Just kidding, I have less than two hundred gold coins left on my body, how can I borrow it.
"That way it's slow. Lend me a hundred. Ma Laosan's skin is not ordinarily thick, and he reduced the amount of borrowing to a limit in a blink of an eye.
Cheng Kong lent a hundred gold coins, and Ma Laosan bought ten pirate gunners.
Cheng Kong somewhat understands that Ma Laosan wants to strengthen the efforts to scrape after the war. That's the only way. pirate ships are self-sufficient.
For example, the farm's method of producing gold is to sell grain, bread, etc., while the pirate ship's source of gold is plunder.
The addition of ten pirate gunners was immediate.
After Cheng Kong lured the next wave of pirates back, he carried out a cannon attack as usual, and then the spearmen and farmers besieged the pirates who climbed onto the deck, only Cheng Kong and Ma Laosan quietly guarded behind, their eyes on every corner of the battlefield, and from time to time they came to the aid of dangerous areas.
The battle is not yet completely over. The pirate gunners rushed up and stripped their clothes. The snatching of knives is skillful in action, which makes people marvel.
At the end of the battle, the gunners' speed suddenly exploded, and from time to time, an arm and leg that were accidentally torn off flew out.
After this battle, thanks to the efforts of the pirate gunners, the looted items were exchanged for a total of more than 600 gold coins.
This pirate plunder is really profitable, and in less than an hour, it is almost half of the daily output of most of the gold mines.
Ma Laosan's idea was right.
If all the pirates of those three ships were slaughtered, the gold coins obtained would be as much as four or five thousand gold coins, and the abundance of the harvest would be amazing.
Of course, this pirate plunder is much faster than honest farming, but there must be someone who can plunder, and when the three pirate ships are plundered, they must continue to look for new sources of wealth.
Anyway, Ma Laosan is fat enough after this time, and Cheng Kong can also get a lot of benefits.
For example, at this time, a few farmers who were lying on the ground and wrapped in Guanghua, after they evolved into tax collectors, Cheng Kong's strength would be further improved.
Cheng Kong lured back and forth several times, causing the pirates on the three pirate ships upstream to become sparse.
And Cheng Kong didn't ask Ma Laosan to pay back the money, so he let him continue to put the gold coins into the alchemy array, exchanging them for iron cannons and gunners.
At nightfall, the pirate ship captured by Ma Laosan had five iron cannons, and as the number of gunners increased, the efficiency of plundering became higher.
Cheng Kong attracted more than 60 pirates every time, basically except for the guy who hit the first shot and was unlucky and was blown to death, the rest of the pirate corpses became naked corpses, and even the gold teeth embedded in the mouth would be ruthlessly pried down by the gunners.
At night, Cheng Kong didn't go to lure the pirates again, the middle of the night in the hero world is not safe, who knows if Lu Dao will encounter some Beamon giant beasts that wake up hungry and forage for food?
Besides, for Cheng Kong, who has the advantage of iron cannons, in the dark night, the advantage of iron cannons will be reduced to a low point, but the pirates will take a big advantage and increase the casualties of the farmers.
However, there are many benefits on this first day of combat, just five iron cannons plus gunners are more than 6,000 gold coins, not to mention that in the continuous battle, there is a pirate gunner who has evolved into a pirate captain.
If there is a captain, then the remaining pirates will not evolve again no matter how they absorb the evolution light ball, but they will continue to accumulate the power of evolution in their bodies, making their bodies stronger.
This, Cheng Kong will not be jealous, after this day's battle, five of the seventeen farmers have evolved into spearmen, and seven have evolved into tax collectors, but the five farmers at the bottom of the line cannot evolve no matter how they absorb the light ball.
This can be explained, although the farmers are generally similar, but there are individual differences, and it is not surprising that farmers are not able to evolve.
After all, the quality of the farmers produced in this farm is inferior to that of the farmers in those cities.
Even those seven tax collectors, I'm afraid that evolving into spearmen is the extreme, and if you want to evolve to a high-level class, unless you have the good fortune of the farmer in Russ City, it is possible to kill a high-level top class such as a phoenix.
Comparatively speaking, the original spearman's potential was much deeper, and he should have no problem evolving into a griffon.
The next morning, when it was dark, Cheng Kong went upstream early, wanting to lure the pirates.
But as the number of pirates on the ship gradually decreased, the number of pirates that could be lured decreased sharply, the first time there were thirty pirates, the second time it became more than a dozen, and the third time, no matter how Cheng Kong provoked, those pirates could not hold on.
