Chapter 930: Encounter with Pirates (Page 1/1)

Adou has been in charge of observing the storm outside, and when the storm subsides, he will report to Mao Wenlong as soon as possible.

"General soldier, the storm outside has subsided, do you want to order the whole army to turn around and go back now?" Adou hurriedly came to the cabin and looked at Mao Wenlong with a deep face.

"Don't panic, find out where we are now, and make plans after discerning the direction." Mao Wenlong's deep voice floated through the dark cabin.

Adou didn't say much, he immediately gave up his hand and left. Hao Xiao and the other two guards quickly lit all the oil lamps in the cabin. The dim cabin immediately became brighter, and the jumping firelight shone on the uncertain face of Mao Wenlong, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Haoxiao opened his mouth several times to speak, but every time he saw Mao Wenlong's expressionless face, he always swallowed the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach.

The storm lasted for most of the day, from noon to dusk when it subsided. The dark clouds cleared, and the sunset over the sea turned the entire sea surface golden yellow.

After being stuffy in the cabin for almost an afternoon, Mao Wenlong could finally come out and breathe at this moment. Standing on the deck of the bow of the ship, he looked out at the western sunset in the distance, and a blank look appeared on his face.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and Adou, who had gone and returned, appeared behind Mao Wenlong and said, "Chief soldier, according to calculations, we are not far from the sea area of Luzon at present. ”

Mao Wenlong turned around abruptly and stared at Adou incredulously: "You are indeed about to arrive in the waters of Luzon now?" ”

It was much unexpected for Mao Wenlong, you must know that he set off from Guangdong, although he intended to sail to the deep sea. But he has been sailing in the direction of Qiongzhou Mansion in the South China Sea, but he didn't expect that he had only experienced a storm and had deviated from such a big course.

Adou did not hesitate, he reiterated again: "Yes, we are now less than five nautical miles away from the waters of Luzon. ”

Mao Wenlong was silent, and after thinking seriously for a while, he said to Adou: "Pass the order, try to let the fleet go back according to the route when it came, and all the hot air balloons on board will be lifted into the air." Along the way, you must look for all the lost ships as much as possible, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"Yes! General Soldiers. Adou was ordered to retreat again to do errands.

Haoxiao came to Mao Wenlong at this time, and bowed his hand and said: "Chief soldier, it's already dusk, why don't you let everyone rest first, and then set sail after dinner?" ”

"Time waits for no one, so let's use some dry food to cope first. The most important thing is to find the lost ships. Mao Wenlong did not hesitate at all, and directly rejected Haoxiao's request.

The fleet soon began to turn around, however, before the Dongjiang Army could set sail, an accident had already happened. Nearly 100 warships, large and small, suddenly formed a semicircle and surrounded them from the opposite side of the 40 or so warships of the Dongjiang Army.

The sudden appearance of the fleet made the Dongjiang Army very vigilant. After Mao Wenlong learned about it for the first time, he personally boarded the hot air balloon and observed it from a distance with a telescope.

"Adou, who do you think these guys who suddenly appeared?" Mao Wenlong opened his mouth and asked Adou, who was also observing with a telescope next to him.

"Chief soldier, it is not yet possible to estimate who it is. But judging from the chaotic warships, it seems that there is not more than one side of the force? Adou said with some hesitation.

"You're saying there's a good chance it's a pirate?" Mao Wenlong was not sure.

But at first, he thought that these warships were likely to be official ships on the Luzon side, but now that Adou said this, Mao Wenlong also felt that it made sense. In the telescope, he also clearly saw that the flags flying on those warships could not see any Luzon flags at all.

While the two were talking, more than 100 warships of unknown origin had already set up a position in front of the Dongjiang Army warships. And they were all ready for war, and under the calm sunset, their hideous faces were revealed.

Mao Wenlong could already see through the binoculars that these warships that suddenly appeared were indeed flying all kinds of pirate flags. There's nothing to wonder about, I'm sure I've encountered pirates.

Raising his eyebrows, Mao Wenlong asked Adou in a deep voice: "What is the strength of the enemy, is there any possibility that we can win the battle?" ”

Adou shook his head and said, "Chief soldier, it's not easy to make a judgment now that the enemy and I don't know." Why don't we send an envoy to find out? ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed to Adou's request. Soon, three small boats with more than a dozen officers and men of the Dongjiang Army slowly sailed towards the flotilla directly opposite the Dongjiang Army.

From the telescope, Mao Wenlong could clearly see that the envoy sent out boarded the pirate's warship very smoothly. Seeing this, Mao Wenlong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that these pirates who suddenly appeared definitely didn't want to go to war directly.

Otherwise, they would not have let the envoys sent out board the ship, however, Mao Wenlong's joy did not last long. I saw that the messengers who had just boarded the pirate warship returned in the blink of an eye.

The confusion lingered in Mao Wenlong's heart, and he waited patiently until the messenger came back before Mao Wenlong learned. In front of them, these pirates actually demanded the unconditional surrender of the Dongjiang Army.

Such humiliation, what is something that Mao Wenlong can swallow, he looked at Adou again, and asked in a deep voice: "How strong can we fight now?" ”

If the pirate's words were to be believed, the sow would certainly be able to climb the tree. Mao Wenlong wouldn't be stupid enough to listen to the promises of those pirates.

Adou paused, still shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Chief soldier, I still can't see the details of the enemy army now." Otherwise, we should send a hot air balloon to take the lead and test the enemy's base by the way. ”

Mao Wenlong put down the binoculars, retracted his farsighted gaze, and nodded heavily: "Okay, then do as you say." ”

The rapid sound of horns sounded among the forty warships of the Dongjiang Army, followed by twenty hot air balloons. Adou personally led and headed straight for those pirate warships.

As soon as the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army lifted into the air, it immediately caused a commotion among the pirate coalition forces. In this way, these pirates must also be well aware of the power of the Dongjiang Army's hot air balloons.

However, the commotion did not last long, and suddenly more than thirty warships left the position of the pirate army. Facing the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army, it is clear that he is coming to meet the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army.

This situation made Adou very vigilant, he knew that the pirates must have a weapon to deal with hot air balloons, so they would react like this. He immediately ordered everyone to be vigilant and not to suddenly approach the enemy warship.
