Winter goes to spring and another year, the Ming coastal clean-up operation against pirates and pirates is still in full swing, Yu Dayou, Tang Kekuan, Qi Jingtong, Lu Bo, Liu Xian and other generals are like tigers out of the gate, where there are pirates and pirates and pirates will pounce on them, and the pirates and pirates can be described as miserable.

At this time, the Ming army had the absolute upper hand in the land competition, and the pirates and pirates basically did not dare to land and plunder, but the sea was still rampant with pirates and pirates, and the control of the Ming naval division over the sea was still very weak.

On this morning, in the Nanzhili Sea Area, about 300 miles away from the coastline, a huge fleet is slowly heading to the northeast, this fleet has more than 50 large and small sea vessels, which can be regarded as a giant level existence in the Daming Sea area, whether it is a pirate or a pirate, basically do not dare to provoke, because there is no pirate or a pirate has so many ships, even the largest Japanese leader Wang Zhi's hands are only thirty or forty ships.

So, who is under this fleet, looking at their direction, it is obvious that they are going to Dongying.

In fact, this is Wang Zhi's fleet, but there are more than ten sea ships led by Hong Tiezhu in the middle, so it looks a little scary on a large scale.

Wang Zhi stood at the bow of the ship, watching the last island disappear behind him in the distance, his face couldn't help showing a cautious look, in front of him is the sea area at the junction of Daming and Dongying, this sea area is more than a thousand miles wide, and pirates and pirates are raging in the middle, which can be described as one of the most dangerous sea areas in the world, and anyone who enters this sea area will be a little drummed in his heart.

Although the number of ships under his command exceeds that of any pirate and pirate force, the combined strength of other pirates and pirates is still far superior to him by several times, and he does not think that he is invincible in the world.

At this time, there is no royal law to talk about at sea, people want to get you, there is no need for any excuse, not to mention, his ship is still full of all kinds of goods, and it is normal for people to be red-eyed.

He is quite aware of the temperament of these pirates and pirates, and in normal times, people give him a little face, after all, he is the strongest, and any pirate is not his opponent, but once he forces people to be anxious, they can do anything.

At this time, Yang Cong is equivalent to forcing people to be anxious, because the coastal areas of Daming are blocked by the official army, and other pirates and pirates can't get any goods at all, everyone is going crazy and poor, and there is nothing to do.

He looked at the sea ships around him, and then at the endless sea in front of him, and decisively ordered: "Order, all ships, take off all the flags." ”

At this time, the fleet was still hanging the flag of the Ming army, such a flag was naturally rampant along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, but it was the most jealous in this sea area, because his defection to the imperial court was already known to the pirates and pirates, and he had already sent goods to Dongying once, and people must have guessed that he had goods on board.

If the flag is taken off, the effect will be different, the fleet has no flag, who knows whose fleet this is, who would dare to provoke such a large fleet!

He felt that it was better to take off the flag, at least it would make people suspicious and not dare to act rashly.

It's a pity that things in the world are not always as expected, and sometimes, what you are afraid of, what will come when you are born.

Less than an hour after he ordered someone to take the flag down, the sentinel ship at the front made a frantic warning sound, and judging from the flag slogan played by the flag bearer, there should have been a fleet of ships no less than theirs in front.

What's going on?

While he was in doubt, the sentinel ships to the south sounded a frenzied warning sound, and judging by the flag-bearers' banners, a fleet of ships no less large than theirs appeared in the south.

It's over, it's surrounded, these two fleets must be here to block him!

Wang Zhi understood as soon as he saw this situation, they must have set up an ambush in advance, just waiting for him to enter the trap.

At this time, the east wind is blowing, and it is basically impossible to turn around and return to the South Zhili Sea area, what should I do?

He led the people to climb to the roof of the cabin quickly, and looked ahead, sure enough, the front was densely packed with black spots, and the number of sea ships was definitely not less than fifty, and he looked to the south, and the number of sea ships was also no less than fifty.

These guys, it seems, are united and ready to fight him, for the sake of now, the only way to fight with them is to fight!

He will not be naïve to make peace with others or send people to intercede, on this sea, there is no reason at all, since people have gathered so many sea ships, there is only one purpose, that is, to destroy him, and rob all the goods on his ship and the sea ships!

He looked at the positions of the enemies on both sides, and then decisively ordered: "Order, Hong Tiezhu's fleet turned around and headed south, and after the break, the other ships continued to the east, ready to attack." ”

At this time, it can only be like this, he does not intend to trap the iron pillar, the situation is really critical, he can't tolerate the slightest hesitation, he still has confidence in the ships under his command, because their weapons and equipment are stronger than other pirates and pirates, thirty or forty ships to defeat more than fifty ships of others is still possible, if the enemy is surrounded on both sides, then he has no hope, with one enemy two or even one enemy three he can't do it.

He could only let Hong Tiezhu drag the fleet that was catching up from the south, and then personally lead his own fleet to meet the enemy intercepted in front, so that they could still hope to escape.

This clearly shows that Hong Tiezhu is going to be sent to death, will people carry out his orders?

He stared nervously at the flagbearer on Hong Tiezhu's flagship, and secretly prayed in his heart: "Brother, don't think I'm a selfish person!" You see, I had to do it as a last resort! I swear this time, as long as I can escape, I will be absolutely kind to the families of every brother on your ship. ”

Unexpectedly, the standard-bearer on Hong Tiezhu's ship did not reply to him at all, but directly issued an order, ordering all the ships under him to turn around and go south to intercept the enemy in the rear of the flank.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Well done, brother, I will not forget you.

He wiped away his tears, then turned his head to stare at the dense black spots in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Fill the ammunition and prepare to fire!" ”

The reason why he was so confident in fighting more with less was because he had muskets and cannons in his hands, which the other pirates basically didn't.

Of course, the muskets and artillery in his hands are the most backward earthen guns and artillery, and it is impossible for Yang Cong to equip him with the most advanced muskets and artillery, after all, he is a pirate, and Yang Cong also has to prevent him from backlashing.

However, even the earthen guns and earthen cannons are much more powerful than other pirates and pirates, this sea is not land, you can rush as much as you want, before the two sides have not connected, they can only use long-range attacks, and it is impossible for arrows on one side to penetrate the protection of the cabin, only earthen guns and earth cannons can.

The earthen cannons in his hand are all thousands of pounds of giant cannons, although the range is not very long, the power is still very great, a cannonball smashed over, a smaller ship can even sink directly, even if it is a big ship, as long as it hits, it can plow a blood groove on the deck, causing a lot of casualties.

The earthen gun in his hand is not an ordinary bird gun but a carrying gun, the kind that several people carry and fire, and the power is not weak, and ordinary wooden planks can penetrate it, even if the enemy hides in the cabin, it is useless.

It was with these two sharp weapons that he slowly became the boss of pirates and pirates, and now, these little brothers dare to join forces to yin him, they are simply looking for death!

He stared at the black dot in front of him, and fire was about to erupt in his eyes.
