Chapter 13 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 13 (13)
The breeze on the face of the sea accompanied by the soaring seabirds, against the backdrop of the white clouds that have never moved like nails to the sky, bring some relaxing moments to the monotonous life at sea.
The time had come before the last light of the day had faded, and not only Wu Zhuman, but all the pirates in the gang felt that life should go on like this. The dead and lost companions were only half an hour ago, but in people's hearts, it seems that they have been years old, and they are not even worth recalling, and the reality is always cruel to educate survivors. If it were not for the belief in the creed that 'if man is not for himself, heaven and earth will perish', these many brothers would not have chosen to go to Princesa to 'fall into the grass'.
Ujuman had already made up his mind, and after this time, he would not go south to Borneo again.
The strength of the Song people in the defense of the port made him jealous, and only a dozen people had such combat power, and all the ports of Borneo would be impossible to go in the future. To the north are the Spaniards, to the south are the Song people, and only the small Sulu Sea in the middle can still gallop freely.
However, Uzhuman was not worried, with the great strength of the Song people, there would be a conflict with the Spaniards in Manila sooner or later, and then the Sulu pirates caught in the middle would have a great future. In the wars of the South Seas, pirates and maritime merchants have always played an important role, and hundreds of warships cannot be supported by the monarch alone. Besides, there is another case that there are few people, and the Song people fought so hard in Hong Kong before just to rescue the captured people, not because of a lack of people, but for what?
Maybe the Song people or the Westerners can really be invincible in this South Sea land with their strong ships and cannons, but the South Seas are thousands of miles away, and those people and horses they brought from the ocean alone can occupy it? In the end, it has to rely on the natives, and the Spaniards claim to have 10,000 soldiers in Luzon, how many of them can be truly Hongyi? One percent may not be able to have it, so it's still higher.
The rest are mostly indigenous servants and newly converted pagan students, with the geographical location of Sulu, as long as they go back and operate a little, I believe that it will not take more than a year, and wait for the Song people to go north or the westerners to go south, and then move the camera, which is the most suitable choice for the identity of a pirate.
It's just that the two small dots on the occasion of the sea and the sky disrupted the thoughts of the big gang at this leisurely moment, and the erratic position of the two small dots made many people on the boat notice the sea surface to the north, and some pirates who are familiar with the hydrology here will remember that it is a volcanic island, and the most on the island is only poisonous snakes, and the two fast-moving dots are clearly two clippers.
It's just that......
It's a bit too fast.
"Shorthair's reinforcements are coming......"
The gaze of admiration for the beautiful track only lingered for a moment, and the pirates were awakened by this shout.
Although it is only two clippers, although it is a full circle smaller than its own smallest horn bluffing boat, but the speedboat moves on the sea like flying regardless of the tide still surprises the pirates, no wonder Fang just looked at the erratic position makes people feel uncomfortable, now think about it, the sailless and oarless clipper can move more freely than the most flexible big fish in the sea, how can everyone who is used to eating at sea not know what such a ship means in a water battle.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Captain, what should I do?"
The team members looked at the prey sprinkled on the surface of the sea several miles away, excited and apprehensive.
"Do you still need to ask? Hit him first on the dog day. β
The team's questions made Wang Wenshan feel relaxed and happy, and his answers were like double reeds.
When I got an affirmative answer, I immediately became even more excited.
"Which one to hit first? We're just going to be in this boat. β
Although the weapons have an absolute advantage, looking at the dozens of large and small sailing boats of the pirates, the team members are still quite uneasy, after all, the speedboat ships are too small, and the guns in their hands alone do not have much damage to those slightly larger wooden boats. And the other boat was full of non-combatants, so it would not be difficult to avoid the pirates, but it was unrealistic to expect them to fight.
The flotilla on the opposite side looked loose, but the distance between the ships was uncomfortable, and from the binoculars, it was still necessary to take some risks to pass through the middle, and the large ships were surrounded in the center, and it would be too much of a waste of bullets for the small boats outside to be cleaned. But if you just circle around the outside of the fleet, you can still only watch this big fish run away, and the government will never tolerate such a thing.
Even if only this small speedboat can fight at the moment, at least it is necessary to drag the bandit brigade, whether Wang Wenshan still orders the speedboat to move forward at full speed.
Wenbara was on a small boat to the north of the fleet, and the leader of the ship knew Wenbara's identity, so he didn't spare any mercy, and sent him directly to the rear cabin to rock the oars. The stern side windows are high enough to accommodate one person in and out, and the view of the Song people's clipper from here is far more real than that night more than a month ago.
At least a mile away, the ship was speeding by like the wind, much faster than ordinary people running on land, and there was such a fast ship next to the brigade, and it could not be driven away, Wen Bara was really relieved in his heart.
The team's short-haired clippers must have been the first to come, and the giant ship that was like a city he had seen with his own eyes, and the repeating firearms on it that could easily smash the horn bluff ship to pieces, it was daunting to think about. Thinking of this section, Wen Barat secretly sped up, and in the last night attack, he was lucky to survive because of this layer of alertness.
He secretly made up his mind, looking at the dozens of large and small ships in this big gang, although they were not as fast as the Song people's boats, but at the moment, the big iron ships must not be able to come so fast, and the big ships are always slower than the small boats, whether it is logically speaking, or what we see in front of us now, it should be like this. Looking at the shadow that had been stretched outside the hatch, it must have been the same idea of the king of Wuzhuman.
Last time I suffered the loss of the breathtaking soul-chasing lamp in the port of the Song people, but this time it was not in the port of the Song people, and at night, after spreading out in this vast sea, as long as I didn't run into the reef, it was not easier to find the fleet than in that port. What's more, the hydrology here is familiar, and it is easy to run separately, even if you are really caught up, you can land on the reef from the shore at will, and you will not be caught by the Song people, after all, there are few people in the Song Dynasty, and the wild forests are dense, so don't worry, as long as people can run back to a few ports in the north, there will be ships that can return to Sulu, but they don't necessarily have to give their lives to this big gang, not to mention the strength of the Song people, most of them can't be sold for money, at most they are given away for nothing.
The gap between the two sides of the speedboat awning is really limited, and the team of more than ten people can only arrange five or six on one side, and they have to kneel on the seat, not to mention the uncomfortable posture, under the ups and downs of the sea, it is extremely difficult to aim.
The team members tried to shoot at close range a few times, and barely knocked down a few blind ones who still didn't know if they were dead, and the rest of the pirates were mostly under the side of the ship, and the automatic rifles were helpless, and the driving tried to reduce the speed, but it still couldn't effectively reduce the bumps, and finally just circled around the fleet, although the speed was also very slow, but it was also getting farther and farther away from the port.
According to Wang Wenshan's estimate, it will take an hour for the fishing boats carrying anti-aircraft machine guns to come over, and it will already be dark by then, not to mention that it is impossible to sink all these dozens of large and small sailing boats.
The speedboat will suddenly rise and fall in the sea every ten meters, and the team members can hardly aim on the small boat in action, but the familiar gunfire still gives the pirates a lot of fright with a great sound of breaking the air, and the shouts can still be transmitted far away through the waves.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It was still noisy outside, but you could already feel the danger far away.
Yang Weixun believed his feelings and tried to get out of the shack.
One step β
Two steps β
Five meters β
Ten meters β
The voice in the headset rang again.
"Lao Yang, our reinforcements have arrived."
"Two speedboats are our reinforcements?" Yang Weixun's eyesight is excellent, and the bandits' fleet has not been out of port for a long time, and as far as his eyes can see, the speedboat and the fleet can still be seen at a glance.
"Lao Wang and Wu Lao happened to be on the side of Snake Island to investigate, and they were the closest, so they came first."
Because of the number of snakes, Qin Gao is used to calling Sanshan Island Snake Island, and even the elders here in Zhangjiagang have long been accustomed to hearing it.
"Just circling around the pirate ship? Is this going to be a gift out of the country? β
"Lao Yang, your mouth is still too damaged, Lao Wang's ship is too small after all, and the other one is full of instruments and scientific researchers, it's just a delay at the moment, but you have to quickly organize the people to collect the prisoners."
Yang Weixun couldn't hear this, and immediately refuted.
"This time, I have to make it clear, the pirates can't gnaw at us, and they retreat by themselves."
After speaking, Yang Weixun took off his helmet, shook off his short hair that was already soaked with sweat, and kicked at an unlucky ghost under his feet to relieve his hatred, at this time, Qin Gaozheng took a few elders out of the city to meet Yang Weixun's side.
"All prisoners will be temporarily sent to the fort for safekeeping, and will be disposed of after the decision of the headquarters."
Yang Weixun still wanted to tear up a few words, but he heard another noise in the channel, and he talked a lot before he could hear it clearly.
But it was the lookout post that said that there was another big gang on the sea in the northeast, and there were more than 20 sailing ships in the thick number, but they were all big ships, mostly in the style of a wide boat.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The scarlet sun lined Wu Zhuman's back, and from the direction directly opposite Guo Lansheng, the sailing ship of Sulu's 'maritime merchants' was like a silhouette lined up, revealing a majesty, as if it had been successful, but it was a little flustered, and the details of the ship naturally could not escape the good eyes that Guo Lansheng had practiced for many years.
"Port master, that should be the Song people's clipper."
'So fast', following the direction pointed by Xu Awa, Guo Lansheng's squinted eyes searched more carefully, and finally saw clearly the shadow of the small boat that was always moving quickly under the shadow of the sun, and couldn't help but be taken aback in his heart, eating at sea for a long time, Guo Gangzhu knew at a glance that it was not a fast boat that could be reached by manpower, and in the land of the South Seas, what eight-oared boats and centipede boats all relied on the instantaneous burst of manpower to improve the movement speed of the ship, which can be called a fast word, but when I saw the clipper of the Song people today, it couldn't even catch up with the butt.
"It's too small." Naturally, the Hong Kong owner's bearing cannot be lost, and Guo Lansheng needs to let the people around him see a confident appearance.
"But it's too fast." Xu Ava doesn't feel that it is necessary to take into account people's hearts at this time, the facts are in front of him, such a clipper is really a threat, not to mention, the rumored Song people are not only such boats.
"Wuzhuman, they should have succeeded." Of course, this is just Guo Lansheng's speculation, but since the clippers of the Song people are chasing after them, they must also be contained, if there is really a legendary big iron ship in the harbor, I am afraid that this Sulu fleet will not still pose in such a shape in the sunset.
Xu Ava was obviously more concerned about the moment, and hurriedly asked, "Then what are we going to do?" β
Guo Lansheng touched his chin and immediately laughed.
"Naturally, there is no reason to leave when you come, thieves don't go empty, and we naturally can't go empty, so let's let the Song people know our power first."
"Blow the trumpet, and order all the ships to push the cannons up to me."
"Prepare for ignitionβ"
