On the vast sea, a thousand-stone warship with a bullet mark on its hull, under the protection of two merchant ships, drifted on the sea with a little panic and a little desolation.

This warship, with no flag and no marking, can easily be mistaken for a pirate ship with a pirate flag torn off by passing merchant ships - in fact, it is not wrong to think so, because this warship has indeed done a few pirate deeds, and the two merchant ships on the left and right are trophies.

At this time, the proprietors of these two merchant ships, a Song man and a Zhancheng man, were in the cabin of one of the ships, looking sad and sighing.

"Lord Lu, we have lost a lot this time, and we won't be able to turn over for at least three years." The already dark and wrinkled face of the owner of the city was twisted into bitter melon.

The owner of the Song boat sighed: "The goods are lost, the wealth is avoided, fortunately, the people are fine, be content." ”

The owner of the Champa ship was apprehensive: "I don't know where the pirates came from, so fierce, almost killed the guards and followers on my ship...... Many of these people were born in the Champa army, and they had fought pirates, but they didn't expect all of them to fall into the hands of this group......"

"Shhhh ”

A hundred feet away, on top of the heavy building of the warship, an old man in a white robe and gray hair, with a tall body, looked at the rolling waves of the sea and the sky, and the sea breeze was so strong that his sideburns and hair were gray.

Although there is no familiar Qingluo umbrella, no large group of armor soldiers who hug each other, and no tens of thousands of troops who respond to every call, any Song army in Yacheng can recognize at a glance that this "old pirate leader" is actually Ali Hague!

Ali Hague is not dead!

On the same day, Ali Hague launched a general breakthrough, and the monk Langzhong put on his own golden armor, carried his own Qingluo umbrella, boarded the marshal's boat, sat under the Ha Thorn Su Lu, and commanded the Fanfang Hong Kong Army to break through. Ali Hague and his son Guan Zhige, disguised themselves, boarded an ordinary warship, and broke through from the port of Xindi.

The monk Langzhong attracted the most fierce firepower of the Dragon Bird Army, and finally broke through hopelessly, and set himself on fire, so that the Dragon Bird Army mistakenly thought that Ali Hague was dead, and the encirclement network was slackened, and Ali Hague and his son led the remnants of the army to break through.

Originally, Ali Hague's plan was to escape to Qiongguan, Qiongzhou, after breaking through the siege, but because he was chased and killed by several dragon and bird warships for a long time, he spun around like a headless fly, not arguing about the east, west, north and south. After finally getting rid of the pursuers, the only helmsman who knew the route was killed by a stray bullet during the pursuit, and there was another storm on the way. As a result, the remnants of Ali Hague's ships, which had lost their course, drifted with the tide in the vast sea, getting farther and farther away from the north.

On the way, he encountered several merchant ships, because he didn't know how long he would drift like this, worried about the lack of food and water, and even more worried about his whereabouts being exposed, Ali Hague had to make a cameo appearance as a pirate and did the work of killing people and stealing goods. The one who can escape with Ali Hague is naturally the elite Beiting Army, even if there are only a few dozen people, how can a mere maritime escort be an opponent? It's just that the sea is not as good as the land, and if you want to capture the ships and replenish the supplies, you can't kill all the people, at least leave the sailors and the shipowners, so that it is easy to control. Moreover, Ali Hague needs the helm of merchant ships even more in order to lead them back to land. Because of this, the land shipowners of the Song people and the shipowners of the Zhancheng were able to survive.

Since his defeat, this once ambitious general of the Yuan army seems to have aged by more than ten years, with many wrinkles, a gray beard, and even a tall body that has always been straight and hunched. Only those eyes that are as determined as tigers still reveal immortal ambition. There has never been such a tragic defeat in my life. He must avenge this revenge!

"Ata, the helmsman of the two merchant ships said that he will be able to see Qiongzhou in four or five days......" Brother Guan, who had sunken eyes and a tired face, climbed the heavy building and informed his father of the latest news, with a worried face, "With our current situation, we must not let the Song army find out, but the route cannot bypass Qiongzhou......"

Ali Hague glanced at the second son and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Brother Guan only understands his father's temperament, and while raising questions, he must come up with a solution to the problem. Before going upstairs, he had already thought about it, and said at the moment: "It's better to modify and change clothes, and dress up as a merchant ship escort." It's just a pity that this ship had to be abandoned. What does Atta think? ”

Ali Hague didn't speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he say word by word: "I crossed up and fled, and I will never come back in disguise!" ”

Brother Guan was stunned and pleaded guilty: "Ata......"

Ali Hague waved his hand: "There is no guilt, don't panic." ”

"So, we're rushing through?"

"That's right! But instead of going from the eastern front, we take the western front. ”

Brother Guan's eyes lit up: "Changhua Army!" ”

Ali Hague raised his hand and stroked his gray hair: "The Changhua army guard is Zhang Ba, Zhang Shijie's personal general, and there are only more than 1,000 troops in the department, and there are no muskets, just ordinary equipment." Previously, he had a big battle with Liu Zhongxiao, no matter whether he won or lost, he would lose his troops and lose his generals, and he was unable to fight again. Let's go from the direction of the Changhua Army and take the opportunity to knock Changhua down! ”

Brother Guan also became excited, not only because he solved the problem of the return route, but also because he saw that Atabao's knife was not broken and his fighting spirit was still there.

While the father and son were discussing secretly, several merchant ships came into view.

In response to the request of the thousands of households under his command, Ali Hague waved his hand: "Seize the ship!" ”

The Thousand Households of the Beiting Army excitedly took the order and left. Hehe, it's better to rob, it doesn't take much effort to grab a lot of loot, why bother gnawing hard bones and fighting to the death?

In the case of similar tonnage, the speed of warships is faster than that of merchant ships, and it is difficult for ordinary merchant ships to escape the pursuit of warships.

When the warships of the Yuan army came surgingly, those merchant ships seemed to accept their fate, and instead of fleeing, they took the initiative to meet them.

Ali Hague was about to return to the cabin to avoid the arrows, but when he saw this, he was surprised, but he did not leave, and stood firmly on the platform to watch.

When the two ships approached dozens of zhang, the Beiting army shouted familiarly: "We are not pirates, but Dayuan officers and soldiers." The whole ship put down its weapons and tied its hands, which can save your life! ”

The sailors of the ship on the opposite side didn't know whether they heard it or not, anyway, they just came up stunned.

Ali Hague's gray brows furrowed slightly, faintly feeling that something was wrong, and before he could figure out how to deal with it, those ships were close to ten zhang. At the bow of the ship stood two middle-aged men, one sturdy and one thin, and a group of boatmen, with no weapons in their hands, and no expression of fear on their faces.

When did the reputation of the officers and soldiers of the Great Yuan be so good? Just yelled at such a throat, and the other party obediently obeyed?

Ali Hague instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and at this time, at the bow of the ship, the Beiting Army Qianhu was shouting an order: "Ship owner, helm, stand up!" ”

On the merchant ship, the thin middle-aged man nodded: "I am the owner of the ship, my surname is Wang, and my name is Ping'an." ”

Another sturdy middle-aged man said in a rough voice: "I am at the helm, surnamed Tong, Xing Er." ”

Ali Hague finally realized that something was wrong—the owner and the helm, as well as a group of boatmen lined up on the side of the ship, all had their hands behind their backs, and even when they spoke, they only nodded in response.

At this time, the two ships were staggering, Ali Hague's hands holding the railing tightened, and he shouted: "Raise your bow and sword, kill!" ”

As soon as the word killing came out, the group of boatmen standing on the side of the ship in rows raised their arms in unison, and the rows of dark double-barreled shotguns pointed at the Yuan soldiers holding swords, guns and bows on the opposite side.

"Lao Tzu hates pirates the most!" Tong roared at the helm, raised his double-barreled shotgun, and aimed it at the old pirate on the platform.

"Grandpa hates Yuan Bing the most!" Wang Ping'an flicked one hand, and a double-barreled shotgun that had already been loaded with shotguns also pointed at Ali Hague and his son on the heavy building.

Bang bang bang!

A large canopy of hot iron sand with black smoke gushed out of the barrel of the gun, growing larger and larger in Ali's terrified pupils in The Hague......
