How many pirates are there in the East China Sea?

This number cannot be counted, there are both Chinese and foreign Han and Hu, there are the rout troops of the late Sui Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo, there are various local forces defeated after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and there are Japanese slaves who have been fighting for years and have no way to survive...... Even if the "three gangs" that made businessmen frightened by the East China Sea were wiped out one after another, there were still a lot of fish that slipped through the net, plus there were some small groups of thieves, although they were scattered, they were still huge.

Although so many pirates do not have the strict organization, unified command, and high morale of the "three gangs", they can't stand the number of people......

Looking at the pirate warships rushing towards him like a dense crowd on the sea, Xiao Cuo only felt that his scalp was numb, and a cool breath instantly swept down his spine and all over his body.

Before going to sea, because they had to avoid the sailors, when the major families got together to discuss, they were ready to be raided by pirates. It's just that the "three gangs" have been wiped out, and the rest are all small groups of pirates, confident that they can fight against any group of pirates with the armed force of their own private soldiers, but they never thought that these scattered pirates would abandon their previous suspicions in the face of the huge bait and unite to pour out......

The rain was sudden and the wind was fierce, and the icy rain poured in through the window, wetting Xiao Cuo's clothes, and his whole body was cold.

A desperate fear enveloped Xiao Cuo like a gloomy canopy......

"Fight! Challenge! Bao Xi, who had always looked leisurely as if he had a bamboo in his chest, had a hideous face, and said sharply: "Order the fleet to respond quickly!" We have gathered the private soldiers of the major families, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, even if the pirates are several times the number of our own, they will surely be able to fight and win! ”

The old sailor opened his mouth, stopped talking, and hurriedly ordered the apprentices who followed behind him to go out and direct the sailors on the mast to wave red flags like crazy, and convey the order to the ships not to retreat.

In fact, there is no way to retreat, the sea is vast, there is no place to take advantage of, only to fight hard, either you die, or I die.

When the flag was out, Bao Xi shouted at the old sailor: "Quickly order this ship to retreat and leave the battlefield, we must not attract the attention of other ships, while they are in a mess, let's quickly escape to the nearest land!" ”

The gap in strength between the two sides is huge, and this battle cannot be won no matter how it is fought.

Even if there is still the slightest possibility of winning, the children of a family like Bao Xi are absolutely unwilling to gamble their fate on such a faint hope!

Fight to the death with pirates?

To hell with it!

If you lose, won't you be dismantled by murderous pirates?

If you don't run now, when will you ......

The old sailor was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "What we are riding on is the flagship, if we flee without a fight now, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, and then no one will fight, and the whole army will definitely collapse, and when the time comes, it will be chased and killed by pirates, and I am afraid that not a single ship will try to escape......

"Shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Qi behind him had already jumped over with an arrow step, raised his hand and slapped the old sailor fiercely, glared at him with round eyes and scolded: "It's really a fart!" What is the collapse of the whole army? Are we an army? No! We are just merchant ships, and those on board are only private soldiers, not armies! If it's a sporadic pirate, it's fine, but how many pirate ships are there in the sea outside? How will this battle be fought? Lao Tzu is a descendant of the Langya Wang family, a high-ranking nobleman, according to the pair, he can't die here, and even the bones have to be fed to fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs! ”

Xie Wenhua also relieved himself and echoed: "That's right, run for your life quickly, if you are entangled by pirates, you won't be able to escape if you want to!" I don't want to die here......"

If it was placed in plain place, Xiao Cuo would be annoyed by these two gentlemen, but at this time, he felt that what the two said made sense.

"Needless to say, retreat quickly, let's turn around and sail back!"

Xiao Cuo ordered with red eyes.

"This ...... Alas! The old slave obeyed......" The old sailor sighed, stamped his foot, and turned back and walked out of the cabin, to give the order to retreat.

Although there are many pirates, each ship is full of elite private soldiers of major families, as long as they gather the morale to fight to the death, they may not be able to defeat the pirates who are scattered in their own battles.

However, these sons and brothers were cowardly for Zhan Xian, and they actually escaped......

He's just a house slave, how dare he disobey orders?

It's just that the old sailor who has traveled south and north for many years knows in his heart that the Jiangnan Shi clan is afraid that it will be finished.

At the beginning of the Niu Zhuji War, most of the private soldiers of the major families were lost, and now there is such a time, the forces that the major families have secretly accumulated for a hundred years will be exhausted, without these private soldiers, there is only a mouth and a seemingly gorgeous shell left, who is afraid of you?

The era when the Jiangnan scholars dominated the south of the Yangtze River and made the emperor have to swallow his anger is destined to be gone forever......

In the cabin, Xiao Cuo and Bao Xi looked miserable and kept silent.

What an old sailor can understand, how can these children of an outstanding family not understand? This battle is not only that millions of goods will be lost, but it is likely that more than a thousand elite private soldiers will be entangled and killed in the belly of the fish.

The consequences caused by this are like a landslide and tsunami, which will shake the foundation of the Jiangnan Shi clan!

However, it is one thing to understand it, but it is another thing to make trade-offs......

Could it be that a few of them rushed to the front and led these private soldiers to fight the pirates to the death? In that case, even if they were lucky enough to win the battle and defeat the pirates, they would be more likely to be killed before they could be victorious.

What "put the death and then live" words sound passionate and heroic, but it is difficult to do, when this crisis, or "leave the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood" is more acceptable......

The rain was still pouring down, and countless leech-like pirate ships were like arrows from the string across the sea, and they were coming in a blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

There was a dull sound, and the pirate ship in front of it had no time to turn its rudder and hit its head on the bow of the cargo ship.

The pirate ship was too small and capsized under the impact, but the pirates on board did not have the slightest fear, and struggled to cling to the side of the merchant ship from the sea, desperately climbing up. The private soldiers on the merchant ship had already received the signal that they would not retreat, and rushed to the side of the ship with their blades, and slashed at the pirates who had climbed up half of their bodies in the sea.

Screams, curses, and roars rang out, and the sea water on both sides of the merchant ship was instantly stained red with blood, and the pirates fell into the sea like dumplings.

"Boom!"

There was another crashing sound, but it was another pirate ship that slammed into the side of the merchant ship that had been crossed because of the impact just now, and the side of the merchant ship was hit by the corner of the pirate ship's bow under the flying sawdust, and the turbulent sea water poured in instantly, and the merchant ship immediately tilted.

The private soldiers and sailors on the ship were caught off guard by this violent collision and lost their balance, and many of the private soldiers who leaned over the side of the ship and slashed the pirates in the water suddenly fell into the sea.

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of crashing was incessant, and countless pirate ships swarmed in, neither turning the rudder nor slowing down, and like a sharp sword, they dragged a long foaming wake on the surface of the sea, and plunged headlong into the queue of merchant ships.

The Great War broke out!

The private soldiers of the major families were indeed elite, they were well-trained and well-equipped, while the pirates on the opposite side were ragged and haggard, and the weapons in their hands were even more varied. If it were on land, even if there were twice as many of these unorganized pirates rushing forward, I am afraid that the only end would be the end of the whole army, but on this turbulent sea, the situation was completely reversed.

As soon as they were in battle, the huge impact of the collision of the ships caused the dead soldiers of Honda to stand unsteadily, and the pirates who practiced their skills with the ups and downs of the wind and waves on the sea were by no means comparable to the dead soldiers of the private soldiers who had been trained in a short period of time......

When the two armies meet, the brave wins.

It's not that the private soldiers of the major families are not brave, and it's not that they are afraid of death, but they usually oppress the villagers and fight against the mountain bandits and grass bandits, and more often than not, they are the private soldiers who are raised, and when they face the brave, fearless, ferocious and tyrannical pirates, the momentum is completely suppressed.

Many of the private soldiers had not even recovered from the impact before they had already climbed onto the ship and slashed at them with large knives.

Xiao Cuo, who was constantly retreating backwards and had slowly withdrawn from the battlefield, was stunned!

It seemed that it was just a face, and as soon as the two sides were engaged, the private soldiers on their side were screaming and bleeding, and were cut down on the deck and fell into the icy water.

Xiao Cuo's body was cold, such a situation he had never dreamed of.

At this moment, he was just praying to God and Buddha in his heart, hoping that the sailor had already known the news of their smuggling at sea and was chasing after him......
