0871 Interception

When Kong Youde looked up at the mast, his heart was almost cold! Because the other party's mast is clearly fluttering on a black-bottomed skull flag!

Although Kong Youde is a general on the road, he is stationed at the seaside, and he has more or less heard the news of the Red Eyed Dragon King. I also know that the symbol of the Red-Eyed Dragon King is the skull banner on a black background! Legend has it that the Red-Eyed Dragon King has ruled the four seas, and all the pirates have surrendered to the skull banner, making him a well-deserved pirate king!

Just when Kong Youde was puzzled, more than 30 warships on the opposite side lowered their sails and slowed down, slowly turning the hull sideways, blocking the way for Kong Youde and his party. At the same time, the gun doors on the side of the ship opened, and rows of guns were pushed out!

Now the sweat on Kong Youde's head has come down! There were probably more guns on the opposite ship than on his entire fleet! Moreover, its own fleet is loaded with a lot of people and cargo, and the hull is heavy, which is not suitable for naval warfare at all! If you fight with these pirates, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky!

Kong Youde thought for a while and called a personal soldier and said, "You go out with a small boat, ask what's going on on the other side?" Why intercept us? Tell them that we are the ships of the Ming Navy, and ask them if they are against the Ming court? If they are not afraid of the imperial court, you can tell them that I am good brothers with Liu Pei, who was originally a maritime merchant and is now a general in Laizhou! Let them see that Liu Pei will let go of a way. We can pay for the road! ”

Kong Youde was so clever that he thought of this method in an instant. If the other party doesn't know the details, maybe he really deceived him.

As soon as the soldiers left, Kong Youde found that the other party's sea ship did not know what was burning. The black smoke from the combustion is very thick and condenses. Even in the case of the sea breeze, it was just blown crookedly.

Kong Youde understood what this was after a little pondering? It's to summon accomplices! But Kong Youde really didn't dare to act rashly at this moment! Once a fight breaks out, these thirty or so ships will be able to slaughter most of his fleet! Now Kong Youde can only hope to scare off these pirates in the name of the Ming court.

Because he knew that since the Red Eyed Dragon King came to power, the pirates in the world had stopped a lot. Until now, never on

Shore raids happen. It can be seen that this pirate is still afraid of the Ming court.

The small boat sent by Kong Youde quickly approached the pirate fleet and stopped next to the largest pirate ship at the pirate's signal. Ropes were lowered on it and the man was dragged onto the boat.

After waiting for a long time, the soldiers who got on board were put back into the boat. The boat rocked and rowed back. But Kong Youde was already anxious at this time! For he had seen a flotilla of ships speeding towards them on the horizon.

These pirates must have sent two fleets to intercept them both offshore and far sea. This is clearly a deliberate interception for a long time!

The boat rocked back quickly two miles away. As soon as the soldiers boarded the boat, Kong Youde asked eagerly, "What's going on?" Did you ask? ”

The soldiers wiped the sweat from their faces and said, "General, they seem to be coming specifically for us!" ”

Kong Youde said irritably: "Of course I know that they are coming at us!" But what the hell did they say? ”

The soldiers said: "I first said according to the general's words that we are the fleet of the Ming army transporting grain, but when they heard it, they laughed and told us the details!" He also directly told us to surrender! When I saw that the situation was not good, I mentioned Liu Pei, the general of Laizhou, and they stopped mocking me. But they said let's wait where we are, their leader is in another fleet, and we'll wait for their leader to come and make a decision! ”

Kong Youde was a little relieved when he heard this. But then he regretted it very much! I knew that it would come to this point, so it was better to put down my body and ask Liu Pei for a letter. Maybe we'll get through it this time! But at this time, regret is useless, he can only wait for the other party to pronounce his fate.

Although the fleet of ships on the horizon seems distant, it approaches quickly. In less than half an hour, they were already approaching the periphery of the fleet. This fleet is slightly smaller, but there are more than 20 ships.

Kong Youde looked at the dense muzzles of the cannons and knew that he was afraid that he would die today, and now he could only pin his hopes on negotiations. At this time, a large ship in the flotilla that was intercepting in front of it moved forward and went out of the battle line and anchored. Someone above shouted, "Please hole."

There is virtue to meet and answer! ”

Kong Youde was so angry when he heard the shouts from the boat opposite! On the one hand, the Chinese are very particular about their titles. When addressing a person, either by his name, by his official position or status. Never just call a person by name. Because that's tantamount to swearing! But the pirate in front of him actually called Kong Youde's name, which made Kong Youde, who had always regarded himself very highly, very angry!

Another point is that Kong Youde feels that he has been fooled, and he is clearly falling for the opponent's delaying tactic! The leader of the opponent was on the other side, but he said he was not there. It was clear that they were stalling for time so that their reinforcements could arrive. Now the opposite warship has gathered more than fifty ships. His own warship was difficult to fight with people and goods, which made Kong Youde very angry!

However, Kong Youde also hopes to pay a sum of money to get out of the predicament. So Kong Youde swallowed his anger and changed to a sea tree to meet him.

This kind of boat has sails and oars, and it travels very quickly. Kong Youde hoped that if something happened, he would get out of the sea tree.

When the two boats were dozens of steps away, Kong Youde stopped the boat and said loudly: "I don't know if the red-eyed dragon king is on the boat?" ”

Wu Yizhou smiled on the bow of the boat and said, "Are you Kong Youde?" I heard that you plundered Shandong and got a lot of money, but is it true? ”

Kong Youde suppressed his anger and said: "I did get some property in Shandong. If His Excellency the Dragon King can put it on the next life path, he is willing to give these treasures with both hands! ”

Wu Yizhou said: "It seems that what the big boss said is true, you really made a windfall!" However, the big boss has an explanation, and only gives you two options. Either we surrender now, or we will go to war and divide your life and death! ”

Kong Youde was shocked when he heard it! I wondered how this pirate could not get along with him? Well, could it be that the Ming court bought off these pirates? Kong Youde thought about it and felt that he had figured it out, it should be these pirates who wanted to accept Zhao'an! So get ready to take your own head and open the way!

Thinking of this, Kong Youde sneered and said, "It turns out that you also said that it doesn't count!" Let me ask you, is this matter non-negotiable? ”
