The sea is vast and capable of containing everything, but at the same time it is ruthless and can devour all life, and on the vast ocean, it is possible to encounter terrible disasters at any time and at any time.

In the ocean, the biggest and most sudden disasters are hurricanes and storms, once the hurricane is lifted, the waves can be blown more than ten meters high, and the 10,000-ton giant ship is like a roller coaster in such sea conditions, and a careless ship may be destroyed and killed, not to mention a small boat with a tonnage of less than 1,000 tons.

Most of the sea ships in this era of Datang are wooden ships of several hundred tons, and there are even some merchant ships of less than 100 tons, and those that exceed 1,000 tons can be counted as large ships, as for the 10,000-ton giant ships, in the era of Datang, only the steam giants made by Li An can barely get this level, and ordinary merchant ships are impossible to reach 10,000 tons.

Bad weather is unforgiving, and if an ordinary small boat of several hundred tons suddenly encounters strong convective weather on the ocean, it is likely to be tragic.

And this is also related to the level of the boatman, the clever captain can predict the impending danger according to the subtle changes around him, so as to successfully avoid the danger, in order to save his own life, in addition, even if he can not avoid the strong weather, the wise captain can also calmly command, unite the whole ship, fight against the bad weather, and achieve the final victory.

Pirates live at sea all year round, almost all of them are masters of navigation, and under normal circumstances, they will not be in distress at sea, but there are exceptions to everything, and no one can guarantee that experienced people will be able to avoid danger, as long as they are suddenly hit by weather that is difficult for them to fight, it is still possible to be in distress.

Looking at these items that have been soaked in the sea for many days, the black wolf does not have too many doubts, however, he has sent his subordinates to the rising island many times in a row, if all these people are in distress at sea, then the luck is too much.

The long-awaited wolf brother is now a guest, and he can't delay too much time because of these little things, after a careful look, the black wolf handed over the matter to his subordinates to deal with, and pulled the wolf brother to the big tent, he wanted to entertain this brother well, so as to contact each other's feelings.

"Brother Wolf, please come inside, don't be restrained when you get to my brother, it's like going back to your own home."

The black wolf's gracious hospitality.

Wolf Yi followed and laughed: "Since my brother has said so, my brother is welcome, come, drink." ”

The big tent suddenly became more lively, with the arrival of the wolf, all the important people were gathered, and the drinking was even more enjoyable.

In addition, tomorrow is the birthday of the black wolf, a lot of various delicacies have been prepared, there are more than 100 people in the back kitchen, cold dishes, vegetables, cooked meat are everything, of course, wine is indispensable, there are thousands of jars.

"Brother Wolf, I heard that the Tang Army's sailors attacked Rising Sea Island, but they were repelled by you, so I don't know where the Tang Army's sailors are now, will they be unable to get along with us again?"

The black wolf drank for a while, looked at the wolf and asked.

The wolf frowned and said: "Big brother black wolf, the strength of the Tang Army's sailors is still relatively strong, as soon as he makes a move, he will destroy hundreds of people under my command, and then I used a trick to lure the enemy deeper, which hit them hard and made them have to flee, however, the strength of the Tang Army's sailors still exists, and they still can't be underestimated, I let the brothers garrison all the key points on the island, and hide the food and treasures in the depths of the island, so that even if the Tang Army attacks again, they can't do anything to us, if the Tang Army's sailors dare to go to the island, they will definitely let them have no return." ”

"Haha! The wolf brother is powerful, with your words, I am relieved, the reason why the Tang Army Sailors are so powerful is that the ships are more powerful, if they enter the dense forest after landing, they will only be beaten. ”

The black wolf said excitedly.

The wolf nodded and said: "That's right, there is nothing remarkable about the Tang Army Sailor, just like a shark in the sea, it is fierce and abnormal in the sea, if it is stranded on the beach, it is not at the mercy of others." ”

"Okay, Brother Wolf, let's join forces, we must smash the Tang Army's attempt to destroy us, the sea will always be ours, and the merchant ships in the past are also our fat sheep, we can slaughter whoever we want."

The black wolf said happily and loudly.

"Big brother black wolf, it's not easy for my brother to come here, I want to stay here for more than half a month, I drank a little too much today, let's continue to drink at tomorrow's birthday banquet!."

As soon as the wolf asked, he wanted to go out and conspire with his brothers.

"Haha! The wolf brothers can stay here for as long as they want, come on, go and prepare the best room. ”

The black wolf happily asked people to arrange the residence of the wolf one.

As soon as the wolf left the tent, he did not return to his lodgings, but only followed the men under the command of the black wolf, went to see the guest room, and then, on the pretext that he had eaten too much and went out to blow the sea breeze, he ran back to his boat.

After all, only one's own boat is the safest place, and only in the boat to discuss things with the brothers under his command can you not worry about the partition wall having ears, and the guest room prepared by the black wolf is different, in case someone eavesdrops on the wall, it is not very dangerous.

"King, the people are almost here, and you can start."

A small boss said.

The wolf looked at it and asked, "What about Wang Liu?" Why is Wang Liu not here, I have a lot of things to ask him. ”

It was only the first day of coming, and the current situation of the wolf and Malacca was not very clear, so Wang Liu, who had been here for a long time, needed to provide accurate information.

"I'm here, my lord."

Wang Liu hurriedly walked into the cabin and took out the topographical map of Malacca, the troop deployment map of the pirates with the black wolf, as well as the location of the pirate ships in the port, and the guest rooms inhabited by the surrounding forces.

Wolf glanced at the map and said happily: "Great, Wang Liu, you did a good job, with this map, the main force of the Tang Army's naval division can easily take the entire territory of Malacca, this map must be preserved and given to Li Shilang as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, my lord, I know that there is another detailed map of the vicinity within a radius of five miles, which is extremely important for our operations."

Wang Liu said and took out another map.

As soon as Wolf looked at the map, he nodded with great satisfaction, and began to discuss the deployment with his small leaders.

"King, during tomorrow's birthday banquet, most of the leaders will stay in the big tent, there will be fifty guards around the big tent, there are scattered patrol pirates in the east, west, south and north directions, each with a different number of scattered patrol pirates, it is estimated that there are more than 100 people, a total of only more than 150 people, more soldiers and horses are far away, and it is impossible to reinforce in a short time, we must choose a good time, quickly rush to the big tent, go all out to solve the surrounding fifty guards, and leave two hundred people to block the reinforcements behind, and the remaining three hundred people enter the big tent, Take down all the hundreds of leaders in the big tent. ”

A small boss suggested.

"King, although this strategy is good, but the big and small bosses are all strong in martial arts, and our three hundred soldiers may not be able to beat them!"

Wang Liu said worriedly.

The wolf nodded and said: "Wang Liu is right, the black wolf is strong in martial arts, and these little leaders under his command are not good at stubble, if they want to fight fairly, they can't be captured, so they must be used in strategy." ”

"What stratagem do we use, my lord?"

Wang Liu asked.

One of the small bosses replied: "We have brought a large amount of sweat medicine from the rising island, as long as we poison the food and wine, we will definitely be able to stun them, as long as these big and small bosses are dizzy, everything will be easy." ”

"It's a good idea to use sweat medicine, but the chef and the people who help are all people under the command of the black wolf, and our people don't have to meddle in the food, how can we drug the food and drink?"

Wang Liu said worriedly.

Indeed, they are all invited guests, they don't need to do anything, they can't intervene in the food and drinks at all, it is not easy to drug the food and drinks, and this problem is also the biggest challenge they face, whether they can complete the task, depends on whether they can successfully drug the pirates' food.

The wolf opened his mouth and said: "Not only is it difficult to take the medicine, the control of the dosage must also be exquisite, if the dosage is not enough, it will not work at all, if the dosage is too much, you will faint after taking a sip, and it will also be exposed, it must be just right, so that they will faint unconsciously, as if they are drunk, so that the effect is the best." ”

"Wang, I went to the back kitchen to see, there are one or two hundred people inside, there are endless comings and goings, and they are all dressed similarly, and if you mix in one or two people, you shouldn't be discovered."

Wang Liu said.

The wolf nodded and said, "I can only do this, see who can cook, mix in and take the opportunity to take the medicine, and control the amount of medicine." ”

Wang Liudao: "Don't worry, the king, I will arrange it in person, and I will definitely arrange this matter." ”

"By the way, the map will be sent out now, and before tomorrow's operation, I must let Li Shilang know the topographic map of Malacca."

The wolf commanded.

"Yes, my lord, I'll send someone to contact Li Shilang."

Wang Liudao.

After plotting for a while, the wolf left the boat and took a walk near the pier to see the beautiful view of the harbor to calm the tension.

In the big tent, the black wolf has already eaten and drunk enough, he is thinking about tomorrow's birthday, this is a big birthday once in ten years, he must prepare carefully, there can be no mistakes, otherwise, where is his prestige.

"King, my subordinates have been inspecting for a long time, and those things have indeed been soaked in the sea for many days, and it is certain that our brothers left them, but we have sent three groups of brothers in a row, and none of them have returned, even if there is a storm, it should not have all three people encountered such an unfortunate thing! This is also too strange, in addition, the sea is so big, how can the items left in the sea by the brothers be so coincidental, they were actually encountered by the fleet of the great king, and multiple coincidences are gathered together, which always makes people feel a little abnormal. ”

One of his subordinates walked into the tent and frowned.

The black wolf was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thought carefully for a moment, nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, the three brothers are all in trouble, and the items left behind happen to be picked up by the wolf brothers, which is indeed a bit abnormal, but maybe it's just a coincidence?" ”

"King, if it's a coincidence, then it's the best, but if these things are not a coincidence, but something else, then it's not good."

A small boss said.

Wolf Yi said: "What you said makes sense, it would be bad if there was another hidden story?" But what kind of secret would that be? ”

"The king, the big king is your brother, there are many guesses, and the small ones don't dare to talk nonsense, if they say it wrong, it won't be good."

The little boss worried.

"It's okay, just say whatever you want, I don't blame you."

Black Wolf said.

The little leader said: "Great King, none of our brothers have returned, and all we know about the situation on the island are all said by Wang Liu and the First King, but is this really the case? The more than 2,000 soldiers and horses under the command of King Bai were quickly wiped out by the Tang Army's sailors, and the first king actually won a big victory in the contest with the Tang Navy, which is also too incredible, maybe this is not the case. ”

"Hmph, you mean that the Tang army won a complete victory, if so, is the wolf brother still in the mood to come to congratulate me on my birthday? He also prepared so many treasures. ”

The black wolf said unhappily.

The little leader said: "King, that's not what I said, according to reliable sources, the Tang Army's naval division has thirty steam gunboats, with more than 10,000 troops, and extremely elite equipment, but I am afraid that it is unlikely to be defeated by a great king, but a great king will be completely defeated, and a great king will be captured and persuaded to surrender." ”

"What, you mean that my good brother took refuge in Datang, and his performance just now was all pretended."

The black wolf was angry.

"The king is angry, this is just a guess by the villain, and it can't be counted, but the subordinates just saw the king go to his own boat, and he stayed in it for a long time before he came out."

The little boss said.

"It's time to take the boat, I've just prepared the best guest room for him, what has he been on the boat for so long? No, you don't want to stir up feelings between our brothers. ”

The black wolf still didn't want to believe this cruel truth.

"The king, my subordinates don't dare, but it's always good to have an extra layer of defense, and it's indispensable to guard against people!"

The little boss said.

The black wolf nodded and said: "I know that you are loyal to this king, I won't really blame you, how many people did the wolf brother bring this time?" ”

"King, I asked people to check, there are more than 500 people in total, all of them are elites."

The small boss reported.

"More than 500 people, not a lot!"

The black wolf nodded and asked, "What are they, they don't look like pirates, you must know that the Tang Dynasty officials and soldiers don't look the same as those of us who are pirates!" ”

"These five hundred people, with dark skin and strong skin, should be the elite soldiers and horses under the command of a great king, and there really can't be anything wrong with this."

The little leader replied with a frown.

"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, since the current situation is unknown, then you send some people to quietly keep an eye on the men and horses under the command of the wolf to see what changes they have, in addition, increase the elite warriors in the wall of the big tent in case of accidents, and also, send ten big ships to drive in the direction of the dragon's tooth gate, and report immediately if there is a situation."

The black wolf ordered.
