Chapter 1420: Strength

But no matter how bloody the maritime merchants are, for these ruthless pirates, they usually only have the fate of being slaughtered. Only a few lucky maritime merchants were able to escape from the pirates.

Seeing that their backbone Zhou Dachun was shot, the crew of the ship immediately made a mess, and even the few accompanying merchants had already knelt on the deck and begged the pirates for mercy.

"Enter...... Belch! ”

The middle-aged man slowly raised the arm of his right hand, and was about to wave his hand to order his men to rush over to clear out these stubborn seamen, but suddenly looked south in surprise.

"Eighth uncle, we are saved, it's the combined fleet!"

A young man looked towards Hainan to the south, and shouted loudly with joy.

"God will not forget me, Zhou Dachun!" Zhou Dachun also saw the movement in the south, and even covered his wound and ordered: "Ah San, help me up, we must guard our Zhou family's property!" ”

However, I saw that on the sea to the south, two behemoths had already appeared, and they were slowly heading towards this side, and the two big words "unity" were resolutely on the ship's side.

In the waters of the South China Sea, there may still be fleets of Spain and Portugal, but in the waters of the Philippine Islands, only the combined fleet is left.

"Why are they so fast!"

The pirate leader immediately said with an expression of disbelief on his face when he noticed the three-masted gunboat of the United Merchants Group coming towards him.

He naturally knew the strength of the United Merchant Group, and he knew even more about the terrible three-masted gunboats, but he didn't dare to fight the idea of the United Merchant Group, but to do something against this kind of scattered merchant ships.

That's why he chose to start in this place far away from Funai City, intending to leave quickly after completing this ticket. But I never expected that the reaction of the United Business Group would be so fast, and it was already coming here.

One of his subordinates watched the three-masted gunboat appear, and asked in a panic: "Second master, what should I do now?" ”

The pirate leader watched the two three-masted gunboats coming downwind, and then looked at Zhou Dachun and the crew with a stubborn look, and even gave an order: "Withdraw!" ”

Although he was eager to grab supplies from this merchant ship, he knew that the sea was no match for the land, and they were no match for the Combined Fleet with this kind of white scumbag, and they could only be crushed by the other side.

"Saved!"

Zhou Dachun watched the iron hook being discarded by the pirates, but ignored the blood gushing out of his chest, and looked happily at the fleeing pirate ship, while looking gratefully at the approaching three-masted gunboat.

Although the United Merchant Corps restricted them from trading directly with the Portuguese, the Coalition was more likely to raise the price of spices, and they did not suffer any loss.

In the South Seas, the United Merchant Group also acted as a protective umbrella for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, which was far more reliable than the Ming Dynasty government.

Hey?

The two three-masted merchant ships approached from afar, but did not stop, but passed by their ships, but continued northward, already in pursuit of the pirate ship.

"Chase!"

The tiger girl in a bullfighting suit was standing on the deck, her beautiful face floating with a look of hatred, watching the ships flee, but she waved her hand without hesitation.

The three-masted gunboat abandons the traditional load performance, not only carries a large number of heavy guns, but also greatly increases the speed, but is the king of the sea with speed and strength.

The northern part of Luzon is an oval, with the common natives leaning towards the east, and the pirates usually entrenched on the western front.

The pirates were already entrenched on the Western Front, and they were fleeing northward, intending to circumnavigate the Western Front from the North to Luzon. It's just that they are already in trouble, but they can't get rid of the three-masted gunboat behind them, and this sharp weapon of the sea has already bitten them tightly.

Battles at sea are never about personnel and morale, but about the hull and heavy artillery. And the three-masted gunboats had reached a peak, completely crushing their earthen ships.

"Spread out!"

When the pirate leader saw that he had been bitten by a three-masted gunboat, he immediately ordered to flee in all directions, hoping to find a chance of survival.

It's just that the three-masted gunboat led by them ignored those small fish and shrimp, and was already eyeing their pirate ship with more than a hundred pirates, and was still in hot pursuit.

In this sea area, it can be said that "big fish eat small fish, small fish eat small shrimp", just now they dominated the fate of Zhou Dachun's merchant ships, but now they are dominated by others.

"Fire!"

The tiger girl looked closer and closer to the white scum ship, which was already within range, and waved her hand to give the order.

Due to the major disaster on Luzon, she also stayed in Union City during this time, and was just about to send some rice to Nina's Beishan tribe, but she didn't want to encounter these hateful pirates.

She had heard that there were pirates in this area, and she had burned a merchant ship along with people, which made her very angry. Now that she had met her, she naturally had no reason to let go of these vicious pirates.

"Yes!"

The dog was already a young man, and after hearing the order, he came to the fort.

With an order, the four Thor cannons ignited the fuse and roared after the firing range and angle were more accurate, and four cannonballs weighing more than ten pounds roared towards the white scum ship in front.

The two shells missed the target, and a white column of water of more than ten meters was raised on the calm sea. A shell smashed a large hole in the hull, and a shell broke the mainmast of the white ship.

In this age of discovery, which was mainly driven by the wind, the mainmast was the key to the speed of the ship's hull, and once the mainmast was removed, the speed was bound to be greatly reduced.

In the face of absolute strength, this group of pirates also hoisted a white flag and obediently surrendered.

"Tiger girl, these pirates are definitely not good goods, or they will be sunk naturally!" Ah Wu watched the other party surrender, but suggested to the tiger girl.

Hu Niu's brows furrowed slightly, although she hated these pirates very much, but she was still more rational in doing things, so she glanced at Ah Wu and said, "Have you forgotten that Uncle Tiger is also a pirate?" ”

Hearing this, Ah Wu also stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and no longer mentioned the direct sinking of the opponent's ship, but led a group of people to prepare to collect this group of pirates.

The pirate leader was tied to the deck, but when he saw that the person in charge was a girl who was only eleven or twelve years old, his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty, where men were inferior to women, even among pirates who were not very particular about gender, it was impossible for eleven or twelve-year-old female leaders to appear.

"I've seen our Lord Chincha and still don't kneel!" The dog looked like a fox and a tiger, and immediately shouted at the pirate leader.

"Chincha?" The pirate leader looked at the tiger girl in surprise.

"Yes, I ...... My boss is the Qin Cha Nanyang Patrol Lin Ping! The dog proudly reported the identity of the tiger girl.

The pirate leader looked at the tiger girl and said thoughtfully, "Lin? You are Lin Leigong's sister? ”

Hu Niu also noticed that this pirate leader was extraordinary, and seeing that he guessed his identity so quickly, she also looked at him suspiciously and said, "You know me?" ”

"Although Da Ming has raised a bunch of dog officials, all of them should be killed, but your brother is indeed a good official. Our emperor said in the past: After achieving hegemony, we must not only save your brother's life, but also reuse your brother! The pirate leader said with a look of confusion.
