The biggest task of the flagship to go to the Wa Kingdom this time is to explore the situation on the side of Ishimi Yinshan, the reserves here are too large, and even enough to affect the economy of the Tang Dynasty, which is also a big reason why Shi Lei values this place so much, and really let his own family and his own camp take the lead in controlling such a place, which can undoubtedly greatly enhance the right to speak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And with such an industry that can be said to be related to the fortunes of the country, the Shi family will also take the most solid step towards the top power, which is Shi Lei's real goal. After all, there are enemies like the Dou family and the eldest grandson family who are always watching from the side, and Shi Lei has to work hard to improve his own strength at all times. Not only economically, but also in terms of real discourse.

This kind of influence is the key to the real balance of the opponent, after all, the means of physical elimination can not be used more, although it is indeed the biggest advantage of their own family, and it is also where the confidence lies, and it is the fundamental force that dare not or forget, but there are still too many restrictions, when the deterrent force is OK, as the main means it is taboo.

Therefore, if you want to bring down those two opponents, as well as other enemies that will definitely be more in the future, and increase your own influence, it has become the only way.

The news brought back by the crew was definitely good, they found that in the main production area that Shi Lei explained, there were no locals who found the existence of that silver mine, or at least there was no record of large-scale mining.

Although the Wa Kingdom still prefers to use gold and silver in transactions, it does not seem to be as generous as recorded in later generations, and it has reached the level of gold and silver, which also proves that the silver mines here have not been mined on a large scale.

And the local guard forces pose a relatively limited danger to the Shi family, let alone a joint development force that must be organized by many bigwigs of the military. This can also be seen from the encounter of the merchant ship led by Ivan Frost along the way.

I don't know if the so-called pirates in that area are also bullied, after the flagship of the Shi family went to the open sea, it has already revealed its minions, and there are still pirates who do not believe in evil to deceive the door.

These pirates, who don't know whether they are Tang people, or Japanese people, or simply the so-called navy temporary cameos of the Japanese state, have very experienced choice of a stormy weather to surround them, intending to rely on the advantage of numbers to teach their big ships a profound lesson.

It's a pity that their experience was used in the wrong object, and the big ship of the Shi family was not affected much, first the plan to take the opportunity to approach was seen through by the two clairvoyants on the watchtower early, and then those bed crossbows who were both offensive and defensive gave those pirate ships a blow to the head.

In line with the idea of testing the performance of weapons, under the command of Ivan Shuang, all kinds of maritime combat methods envisioned by Shi Lei were demonstrated on them.

As they roared and prepared for the battle, the bed crossbow, which they thought would not work, or could not exert its power, was ruthless to the head, and the first wave was fired with a crescent shovel in front of it, or simply a thick arrow in the shape of a hammer.

After cutting off those unlucky pirates who were in front of them directly and creating a bloody purgatory, they still did not release a complete huge kinetic energy, and they erupted ferociously on the hull, many of which simply smashed through the pirate ship, and in the process of rolling, a lot of hull structures were destroyed.

Such scars may not be able to directly scuttle the other party for the time being, but I am afraid of accumulating, especially after the damage reaches a certain level, it is possible to break up the ship.

The new bed crossbow is not only powerful in kinetic energy, but also has a greatly improved rate of fire, and two people can easily control it freely, and it doesn't even take a minute to fire again. Those poor pirates could only cower as much as possible next to the side of the ship, and some of them simply did not howl to cheer up, and it was easier to survive by hiding in the cabin first.

Finally survived this round, the special arrows were finally exhausted, and most of the pirate ships had not fallen apart, they thought that there were no arrows here, or that the bed crossbow was finally scrapped because of the dampness, so they had the courage to start calling people again.

It took a lot of effort to get those pirates out of the cabin, and they kicked and beat them, and the armor-piercing cone shot at the head again, but the number of shots was really small, didn't they want to see the effect, and after seeing it, they began to use the next weapon.

They had always wondered what the effect would be, and the formic acid bottle that could make the owner of the house so rare was put up, and this distance was just conducive to the spread of this thing. By the time the formic acid of the gold-eating ants really hit the ship, they finally understood how vicious this thing really was.

Those who screamed like human voices, and then under the terrified eyes of everyone, turned from a living person to a puddle of pus, it really buried a shadow of horror in everyone's hearts.

Even the attacking side felt like they were going to have a nightmare, and even forgot to launch a follow-up rocket attack for a while. Those pirates who witnessed everything and brushed shoulders with this terrible death were even more frightened and had no courage, if it wasn't for the ships in the way, they would have run away a long time ago.

It was Ivan Frost who reacted first, since he wanted to experiment, he had to do a full set, and under his loud shouting, all kinds of large and small rockets covered the past, and then those pirate ships were lit into big torches one by one.

In this case, the next wave of biological attacks that were originally planned seemed to be unnecessary. Those weasels are also afraid of fire, so they escaped the fate of being thrown away, and they lost a chance to feel the refreshment of flying.

After feeling the taste of purgatory, it is impossible to let those pirate ships that turn into torches get close to the big ships of the Shi family, these guys would rather be hacked to death than be turned into pus, or burned alive, so they all ran away decisively.

But on the Shi family's side, they still want to really try the chord battle, and they have to let these slave sailors have a chance to open the film with a knife, this feeling of hand-to-hand combat, and the feeling of watching others being skewered into sugar gourds, must be very different.

Although they all look at the dead, the training of the mind is also different, and they can't really grow up without hacking a few enemies to death with their own hands. Therefore, this opportunity to engage in string battles cannot be missed.

Forget about the lit ships, if they are really close, their own ships will be unlucky, and the other pirates will want to do the same.

There was the brave pirate, who really tried to control the car that turned into a fireship, and ran towards the merchant ship, with the momentum of dying together. However, they were all nimbly dodged by Ivanfrost, and most of those ships could not hold out. Turning around and staying as far away from this demon as possible is the choice of more pirates.

In the end, the target had to be on a few lucky pirate ships that had escaped such a devastating blow, and they were also frightened by the combat power displayed by the merchant ships, and they were ready to run away.

Helplessly, those thick arrows with strong special silk threads flew over with grappling hooks, and then the distance between the two sides was constantly approaching.

When they finally mustered up the courage to kill a few of them, the slave sailors took out their crossbows made of star iron. Some relied on their strong arm strength to simply pick up the armor-piercing cone and throw it over.

This wave of attacks almost nailed all the living people on the opponent's deck, and when they were really able to engage in the battle, it turned into the Shi family's crew members who jumped to the pirate ship to search for the pirates who survived.

Ivan Frost and they are almost unharmed, and they can be regarded as powerful pirates after killing this gang, as for those big torches, it is difficult to say how many of them can hold out to the nest. Armed with the little supplies they had scavenged from the poor pirate ship, they continued on their way to the Wa Kingdom.

Then I don't know if it's because the new year is unfavorable, or if the local bandits, seeing that these are rich guys, a group of bandits with bamboo guns and farm tools-like weapons, so they rushed out to rob them, and the result was naturally not very beautiful.

But even if such a thief can live well under the rule of the Japanese state, you can imagine how the combat effectiveness of these nobles' subordinates is.

Anyway, those so-called samurai don't seem to be much better than those pirates who were hacked alive, and even inferior to the pirates in the fierce Shanghai. If you don't plan to do no business, it would be no problem to rely on these sailors to rob a few nobles.

With such news as a foundation, Shi Lei naturally has more confidence in his development plan. Send a letter to Chang'an, so that a few uncles can handle it, pull up the martial artists on their side, and prepare to develop Yinshan together, Shi Lei's side can prepare for the New Year with peace of mind.

As for those projects after the year, let's put them aside for the time being, and accompany the Yu Linglong sisters more, which is the top priority at hand. (To be continued.) )
