Chapter 970: Ready to Go
By the afternoon, Shen Liangqiu ordered the ships to turn southeast, in order to bypass the pirate-infested seas.
This time, Shen Liangqiu took three ships on sail, and the number of people added up was only a hundred, if the location was really known by the pirates, it was difficult to guarantee that those pirates would not take the opportunity to surround and kill them, after all, the black tiger shark was already blatantly fighting the East China Sea Division, and in order to snatch the head, the people who had already killed the East China Sea Division naturally would not care about making enemies with the East China Sea Division.
Although the two spies were convincing enough to convince them of their reasons for surrendering, no one dared to be sure whether the information brought by the two was really completely true until the Black Tiger Shark was caught.
In case this is a trap laid by the black tiger shark, just to lure the people of the East China Sea Master to throw themselves into the net, then the situation of the three ships is very dangerous.
Fortunately, between the voyages of the ship, they really didn't encounter a pirate ship, let alone a pirate, after all, Shen Liangqiu and the others have been in the East China Sea for more than ten years, although it is very difficult to encircle and suppress a group of pirates of the black tiger shark, but it is not difficult for the pirates to find out.
Along the way, I encountered several islands and reefs, all of which were deserted islands, and the islands were even green and green, if it wasn't for something important to do, Qi Ning even wanted to visit the island.
However, the appearance of several islands and reefs is very helpful to the shipping route, and these islands and reefs are marked on the nautical chart, and the location of the unnamed island can be determined by using these islands as a mark.
By the afternoon of the next day, the ship was getting closer and closer to the nameless island, and the course had been detoured, and it had successfully crossed the area of piracy and entered the far sea.
Qi Ning thought to himself that the place chosen by the Black Tiger Shark was actually really invulnerable in terms of reason, not only was it an inconspicuous desert island, but also there was a pirate activity area in the middle as a barrier, and if there was a layer of defense, if it wasn't for a spy to leak his whereabouts, it would be really impossible for the East China Sea Master to find his whereabouts.
"Master Hou, in two hours, you should be able to reach Nameless Island." Standing at the bow of the boat, Shen Liangqiu said to Qi Ning: "Since he has few people, he shouldn't send spies near Nameless Island, but if there is a high point on the island, and the Black Tiger Shark sends people to keep an eye on the situation in the waters near Nameless Island at a high point, then once we get close, it is likely to be discovered." ”
"It makes sense." Qi Ning bowed his head and said: "We can stop for a while, and then get closer to the past after dark, their vision is not good at night, even if there is a high point, they can't see the distance, and their spirit will inevitably be slack at night, and it will be even more difficult to be found when they are close." ”
Shen Liangqiu smiled and said, "Master Hou's thoughts coincide with the humble general. The meaning of the humble general is also to let everyone rest for two hours first, eat and drink enough, recuperate, and wait for us to sneak up on the island at night and kill them by surprise. ”
At that moment, Shen Liangqiu ordered the ship to stop, and instructed everyone to drink water and eat dry food, and even take a nap.
Seeing that the main ship stopped, Tang Hui's boat also stopped immediately, and orders were passed from this side to that side, and everyone rested to replenish their strength.
"Master Hou, this island doesn't look big, the general has thought of a plan for action, and I ask Lord Hou to consider it." Shen Liangqiu waited for Qi Ning to eat, and then he came over with a sketch, on which he drew a sketch that looked like a small island very casually, spread it on the table, and pointed his finger at it: "The black tiger shark is here, it must be by boat, there are only four of them, there are not many people, so the boat will not be big, if you want to cut off their back road, you must first destroy their boat." ”
"Not bad." Qi Ning said: "The boat may be parked on the shore, but if you are afraid of being discovered, the black tiger shark is likely to hide the boat on the island, but not too deeply." ”
"So when we get close to the island tonight, we will send a few people to dive to the island first, so that they can find the ship and control it." Shen Liangqiu said in a low voice: "Then our troops are divided into four routes, landing on the island at the same time from the four directions of the nameless island, the inferior general and Tang Hui Zhushuo each lead the way, and the commander Wu under the Hou Ye can also lead the way manpower, in order to avoid injury, the team of people under the command of Wu only needs to hold the position, there is no need to fight with them, once the other three people and horses kill the past, the black tiger shark finds out of the situation and seeks to get out from the direction of the Wu commander's guard, and it can be captured in one fell swoop." ”
Qi Ning said with a smile: "General Shen's plan is very thorough, unless the Black Tiger Shark has the ability to ascend to the heavens and enter the earth, it will never be able to escape. In fact, if we find their ship, we don't have to move the ship, just send a few people to hide near the ship, even if the black tiger shark escapes from under your hands, he wants to leave the nameless island, and if he doesn't have a ship, he will definitely go to find the boat first, and then he will fall into the net. ”
Shen Liangqiu nodded and said: "Master Hou's plan can be more secure, and the humble general will leave ten people to guard near that boat, just wait for him to appear and arrest him immediately." ”
Qi Ning knew that this was just in case, after all, there were as many as 100 people coming this time, and his subordinate Wu Dalin and other guards were of course all in the role of one as ten, and the people under Shen Liangqiu were all selected from the navy to be brave and good at fighting, besieging on all sides, the Black Tiger Shark was only four people, and one was a doctor, no matter what, it was impossible to resist the siege of so many people, and the possibility of being able to get out and find a boat was very small.
"General Shen's plan can be described as very thorough, just implement it according to your plan." Qi Ning smiled.
Shen Liangqiu arched his hand and said, "The inferior general will go and assign tasks now." ”
"General Shen, I said that you have full command of this operation, and once it succeeds, it will be all your credit." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Ben Hou hopes that this time will succeed in one fell swoop, not only to offer sacrifices to the Grand Governor, but also to defeat the bandits in the East China Sea." ”
"The humble will not dare." Shen Liangqiu immediately said: "If you can succeed, it is all thanks to the blessing of Hou Ye, and Hou Ye is the real person who has made the greatest contributions." ”
Qi Ning laughed and said: "You are a soldier, you don't have to say these inconsequential words, when the time comes, at the celebration banquet, just give Benhou a cup more." You have made great contributions, and this marquis can recommend you to the court as the governor of the capital, and use the most suitable person to lead the naval army, which is beneficial to the court, I don't compete with you, but not because of you, but for the court's plan! ”
Shen Liangqiu was solemn and respectful: "Lord Hou is selfless, and the humble general admires!" He bowed deeply and said solemnly: "The humble general will never live up to the high expectations of the Hou Ye!" ”
Qi Ning smiled slightly, thought of something, and asked, "General Shen, to capture the Black Tiger Shark, are you going to capture it alive or what?" ”
"Master Hou, the Black Tiger Shark is the most powerful bandit leader among the bandits in the East China Sea, if you can capture him alive, you can force out the hiding place of those pirates from his mouth." Shen Liangqiu said: "This time we can truly solve the problem of pirates in the East China Sea once and for all. Then he frowned and said, "It's just that I'm worried that if I want to catch the black tiger shark alive, it's not that easy." ”
Qi Ning sighed: "Actually, I think the same as you think. The black tiger shark has the ability to gather several groups of pirates together, it still has some ability, and it dares to be the enemy of the East China Sea Division, it is also a little bold, this person can also be regarded as a sea hero, such a character is naturally unwilling to be captured by the sailors, if he is forced to a dead end......! He didn't say any more.
Shen Liangqiu naturally knew what Qi Ning meant, and said solemnly: "General Bei will try his best to capture him alive, if there is really no way, he can only take other people's heads and go back to pay tribute to the Grand Governor." ”
Qi Ning just nodded slightly, and didn't say much.
The three ships were all parked at sea, recuperating, waiting for the night to fall, once they waited, time seemed to pass very slowly, and finally waited until after dark, Shen Liangqiu immediately ordered the three ships to march towards the location of the nameless island at the same time.
Although there was a moon in the sky, the distance was not far away, and Shen Liangqiu always stared at the sailors on the lookout, waiting for him to pass on the message.
Although the clipper is not big, it also has a small lookout, and has been arranging a sailor with excellent eyesight to look at the movement of the nearby sea, and suddenly saw the sailor on the lookout gesturing, and when the target was found, Qi Ning and Shen Liangqiu immediately went to the bow of the ship, and sure enough, only a moment later, Qi Ning found that a gray shadow appeared on the sea surface in front of him with his extraordinary eyesight, just like an ancient sea beast crawling on the sea.
Although Shen Liangqiu couldn't match Qi Ning's eyesight because of his internal strength, he soon found the target, and his eyebrows showed a hint of excitement, and he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, it seems that this island is indeed right. ”
Qi Ning nodded, it was already late at night at this time, since Shen Liangqiu had discovered the target, he did not let the three boats continue to approach, ordered the three boats to stop, and sent six sailors who had been arranged long ago to dive to the island first to find the boat of the black tiger shark.
These sailors have been training in the water all year round, and these six people are the best among the sailors, after entering the water, the three boates held their breath, waiting for them to send back news.
Although I saw the shadow of the nameless island, it was actually a little far away, and after waiting for more than an hour, two sailors finally came back, and their companions pulled them onto the boat, and one of the sailors immediately reported: "Master Hou, general, after we landed on the island, we did not see any traces, but in the benefit cave near the shore, we found a boat. ”
"How many people can that boat hold?"
"Up to six!" The sailor said: "The boat is hidden in a cave, and there is a big rock blocking it outside, but it is not hidden deeply, and we can easily find it." ”
Qi Ning and Shen Liangqiu glanced at each other, needless to say, both of them understood in their hearts.
Since there is really a boat on the island, and it is hidden in a cave, it proves that there are indeed people on the island, and it is almost certain that it is the black tiger shark, and the purpose of the black tiger shark to hide the boat is not really to hide the boat tightly, but to ensure that nothing goes wrong, if there are really other ships near the nameless island, but there is no boat on the shore, naturally they will not think that there are people on the island.
Moreover, it is far from the coast, and the nameless island is an isolated island, and it is extremely rare to see ships in this vicinity, so there is no need to hide the ship too deeply.
"Master Hou!" Shen Liangqiu turned to look at Qi Ning, his hands arched, Qi Ning knew what Shen Liangqiu meant, and nodded slightly: "You can act according to the plan!" ”
