In the past, he tried every possible way to avoid people's eyes and ears, lest he be found out by the sailor, and the major families formed a fleet to smuggle at sea, but now he prayed to God and worshiped the Buddha, hoping that the sailor would receive the news and chase after him to save the desperate situation in front of him.

The impermanence of the world is often such a contradiction......

Xiao Cuo stood on the deck and looked at the sea area that was gradually moving away, his eyes were red, and his heart was like falling into an ice cellar.

Going to sea offshore was only an expected victory, and the victory after encountering pirates did not come as expected, not only that, but watching those murderous pirates raise their blades and throw the private soldiers raised by the major families into the sea one by one, Xiao Cuo was already numb.

The terrible howl penetrated the wind and rain into the ears, the stumps and severed arms stained the entire sea red, and countless ships circled and entangled on the sea, like hell on earth......

It is the hell of the Jiangnan Shi clan.

Bao Xi stood behind Xiao Cuo, his hands and feet cold.

Seeing a massacre going on, he only had a trace of happiness in his heart, fortunately he had given the order to retreat just now, otherwise he was entangled by the pirate ship in the formation at this time, and he was afraid that he would have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth, so he could only be slaughtered like pigs and dogs like those private soldiers and sailors and thrown into the sea, becoming the carrion of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs......

"They're coming!"

A sharp shout behind him frightened Xiao Cuo and Bao Xi all over, and they hurriedly looked at it, just in time to see several clippers with sharp heads and sharp bottoms full of sails, braving the pouring rain to get out of the chaotic battlefield, chopping waves and chasing after them!

Xiao Cuo was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing, and before he could come back to his senses, Bao Xi beside him had already shouted wildly: "Raise the sail to accelerate, raise the sail to accelerate, quickly get rid of them!" ”

The old sailor came running from the stern of the ship, wiped the rain on his face, and said loudly: "The sails have been raised, and now the speed is about to increase to the limit, and if it is faster, there is no need for the enemy to catch up, and a wave can overturn our ship!" ”

Above the sea, it's not as fast as you can run.

If you want to play the maximum speed, first you have to run downwind, even if it is against the wind, but you must not cross the wind, because the waves surge with the direction of the wind, once the ship is canonized, the waves come from the side, if the speed is too fast and a big wave can capsize the whole ship.

Now their ship is running crosswind, and there is no way, because this is the only direction towards the nearest land, and if it is downwind, it will run farther and farther away from the land, and sooner or later it will be caught up by the pirates......

But where do the sons and brothers care about this?

The bloody slaughter in front of them had already frightened them, and now they didn't even have the courage to look back, they only hoped that this ship would grow two legs and quickly get away from those devilish pirates!

Wang Qiping was young and vigorous, and at this time he couldn't suppress his panic, so he flew up and threw the old sailor on the deck with a somersault, and scolded: "Lao Tzu doesn't care if the ship capsizes or not, now you immediately increase the speed of the ship to Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you now!" ”

Xie Wenhua on the other side was already so frightened that his legs were sore, and the boat was passing through the wind and waves, and the turbulence made him dizzy and dizzy for a while, and he couldn't even speak.

Xiao Cuo agreed with Wang Qi's words for the first time, and said loudly: "Don't care if the boat capsizes or not, do you have to wait for the pirates to catch up and slaughter us one by one and feed the fish?" Raise the sails and speed up! ”

What else can the old sailor say?

He could only get up and run to the stern, and command the sailors to raise the sails to the maximum, and the strong wind blew the sails to the fullest, and the speed of the ship increased in an instant, like a lost dog on the sea, sailing desperately in the direction of landing, and the wolf ran suddenly.

A moment later, under the watchful eyes of the pirate ship chasing closely behind, a large wave surged from the side, and the high head of the wave was more than a foot above the side of the ship, and Tarzan poured like a top!

"Boom!"

The raging waves raged by, and the sea was clear of a pile of broken wood chips, and there was still the shadow of a ship?

"Hurry up, step over, there must be a big man on the ship, and those who catch it alive can ask for a ransom, and those family gate valves have money, and they will definitely make a lot of money!"

The pursuing pirate ship braved the wind and waves to approach the wreck, and the pirates on board jumped into the water, searching for traces of the survivors.

And on the battlefield not far away, a big victory has been divided, and the slaughter has gradually ended.

Blood stained the sea, diluted by the surging wind and waves, and gradually dissipated......

A high-pitched trumpet sounded on the sea, piercing through the wind and rain, and the sound shook everywhere! It was the howl of excitement after the victory of the pirates, who plundered one cargo ship after another, and the wealth was so great that they could no longer contain their ecstasy!

*****

After the storm, night falls.

Dozens of warships are clustered around the natural water harbor of an island, rippling with the waves.

In the distance, two warships with black-dyed sails approached quickly, like ghosts in the dark sea......

When they entered the harbor, the ship with black sails slowed down, the sails were lowered halfway, and two lanterns rose from the top of the mast, which stood out in the darkness of the night, and soon one of the hedgehogs gathered together also raised its lantern and shook it a few times according to the code.

The ship with black sails sailed straight past......

On the flagship, there were lamps and candles in the cabin, Fang Jun sat in the middle, Su Dingfang, Liu Renyuan, Wang Xuance and others sat on the left and right, and they were discussing in a low voice in front of a huge chart on the table.

"Report! The sentry spy on the military intelligence in front is back! ”

The soldier shouted at the door.

Fang Jun raised his head and said, "Pass in!" ”

"Whoa!"

Immediately afterwards, a sturdy lieutenant strode into the cabin, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, Su Dingfang had already asked, "How is the situation?" ”

The captain said solemnly: "If it is as the Hou Ye expected, the pirates who gathered in the middle of the sea will unite and come out of the nest to rob and kill the merchant fleet in the sea area fifty miles away, and the private soldiers of the major families have been wiped out, and all the merchant ships have been captured by the pirates and have been escorted back to their lair. ”

Fang Jun glared and said, "So fast? ”

Although I knew that the private soldiers of the major families were very likely to be defeated by pirates, how long had it been?

It's too vulnerable!

The captain said: "As soon as the two sides took over, the major families were already in chaos, and those private soldiers and dead soldiers may not be weak on the shore, but on this sea, after only a short period of training, how can they be those pirate opponents who are fighting for their lives with the sea?" Moreover, the rain and wind were strong today, and the waves at sea were too high, and those private soldiers could not even stand on their feet, and as soon as they took the ship, half of them were already dead, and they had no power to resist. Those pirates were so cruel that they didn't want to be taken prisoner at all, they were hacked to death and thrown into the sea, and dozens or hundreds of sharks followed the smell of blood, gnawing at the corpses and limbs, and the sea was stained red with blood......"

Although I didn't see it in person, when I thought of such a miserable scene, generals like Fang Jun, Su Dingfang, and Liu Renyuan, who were accustomed to seeing dead people, frowned, and Wang Xuance, who had been promoted from a soldier guarding the city gate, only felt a spasm in his appetite and almost vomited......

It's miserable.

Su Ding's face was heavy, he sighed, glanced at Fang Jun, and said, "Although this strategy is once and for all, it ...... It's also against heaven and earth. ”

He doesn't care about dead people, it's not that he hasn't seen dead people, not to mention far, is there less Liu Renliang killed in Lin Yiguo and Annan?

It's just that among those people are either alien barbarians, or rebel outlaws, and they will die if they die.

At present, these are all real Tang people......

After all, the same root and the same species, I can't bear it.

Liu Renyuan disagreed, and said: "The smugglers are killing themselves, and the murderers are pirates, so can you still complain that we don't go to the rescue?" ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and was silent, he naturally understood the reason, but he was a little unbearable.

Fang Jun was silent.

In fact, this tragedy was completely avoidable......

As early as when the major families hoarded goods and drew private soldiers, the sailors had already received the news that if they were intercepted when the merchant fleet went to sea, not only could they confiscate millions of tons worth of goods, but also prevent those private sailors from being slaughtered by pirates.

However, after Fang Jun discussed with Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian, he decided on the strategy of "calculating the plan".

The sailors created the illusion of going north to the sea, allowing the merchant fleet to go to sea, and also gave the pirates the courage and opportunity to gather in one place and fight with all their might.

The massacre was expected, and it could even be said that it was connived at by the sailors......

Without these elite private soldiers and dead soldiers, without these cargo ships and veterans of navigation, without these goods, it is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Jiangnan Shi clan, although it will not make them collapse, but at least it will make them suffer a lot of vitality and shake their foundation.

Without the force of the family, it is not enough to be troubled, and it will no longer be able to threaten the stability of Jiangnan......

It's a must-do.
