Section 4 Pistachios on the Depressed Sea Journey

McNee is a trustworthy and professional captain, and an energetic leader, these are the words of Old Law in front of McNee.

But even this could not make McNee's anger against Lao Luo subside, and without any explanation, he changed his original plan to stay in Mogadishu for three days, hurriedly unloaded the cargo, hurriedly rested, and then hurriedly boarded the ship and left. When his damn peer asked why, McNee had nothing to say.

"Damn it, damn it!" McNee, at the bow of the ship, was still writing a logbook and cursing Lao Luo.

Although the name was not mentioned, most of the sailors on the ship knew who the captain was angry with. The cursed guy naturally hid far away, and chatted with a group of idle sailors in the stern.

Lao Luo was actually very depressed, he knew the reason, but he couldn't say it, even if he had already set off at sea. No, damn McNee couldn't ask, so he sent his first mate here to probe the news.

"Mr. Badantel, can't you really say why you want to go?" The poor first mate's name is Lafago, which is not a very common name.

"Alright, Mr. Rafago, you don't have to be tempted, I guess you'll know why when you get to the port of Djibouti." Lao Luo reluctantly sent Mr. First Mate away, "If you have time, you might as well tell me the story of the sea and pirates here." ”

"Hey, I'm going to buy some wood carvings in Mogadishu to take with me...... Lafeigo was glared at by Lao Luo, so he had to end his ramblings, "Pirates, everyone knows here, it's actually some Persians who escaped from Basra, and ......"

"What else? Are there a lot of them? "Lao Luo came to the spirit.

"There are several bands of pirates, and Allah is on them, so why don't you kill them all with thunder and fire?"

"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point......"

"Actually, there are three main groups of pirates here, including the Persians, the Gregs, and even the Srivijaya...... Others say that there is even a remnant of the Umayyad kingdom. ”

"Which gang is the best?"

"Of course it's the black spider, it is said that no one knows about their lair, and they have come and gone without a trace......

"What else?"

"There is also a guy who is said to have a boss named Big-headed Fish, who eats those who dare to resist every time he robs, and has seven or eight boats and hundreds of people under his command."

"Is there no one on the Basra side or Djibouti side?"

"Don't mention it, it is said that I searched several times, but the people who came out found nothing."

When everyone was a little bored, a voice came from the lookout on the platform at the top of the mast, "There is a ship in the distance, a black flag." ”

Everyone was stunned, the black flag, except for the flag of the Abbasid kingdom, which was black, that is, the flag of the pirates was black, did they really meet the pirates? The atmosphere in the bow and stern of the ship became tense. First mate Lafgo hastened to order one of the sailors to find the trumpet and blow itβ€”it was used to inform the ships that were traveling with him, and to determine the contents by means of long and short tones.

You must know that there are not many ships at sea in this era, especially in the Indian Ocean, all ships go to sea in groups, and the basic time of going to sea is fixed. A fleet like Lao Luo's ride was actually formed temporarily.

Therefore, the ship coming from the opposite side is not in the scheduled shipping time, which must make everyone suspicious. After Lao Luo heard the first mate explain this reason, he immediately ordered the four entourages to pack up their clothes and prepare weapons. The four guys who had been exercising for a while were excited, and finally had something to relieve their boredom on this damn sea.

The melee weapons and throwing weapons were all taken out of the bilge, and Lao Luo only took an iron tire bow and two scimitars, and the sniper scope could not be taken out at this time, otherwise he would not understand and make trouble for himself.

The sailors obeyed the orders of the captain and the first mate, but at this time, seeing the reaction of Lao Luo and several people, they also began to prepare.

"It's a pirate, it's a pirate!" The voice of the lookout came down at this moment, "There are six, nay, seven boats on the other side, and a hundred hulls away!" ”

One hundred hulls, the length of the head ship is about forty-five meters, that is to say, there are about four thousand five hundred meters away, and seven or eight boats...... Old Luo walked up to McNee's side, "Captain, do you have a plan?" ”

"No, it's too sudden, we're in a hurry," McNee glared at Lao Luo, "There are ...... few people"

"How many archers are there? How many swingers are there? ”

"The number of archers in each ship is estimated to be no more than a hundred, and there are more jumpers, almost one hundred and eighty...... I'm afraid that there will be a return cannon on the other side! ”

"How can there be a return cannon?"

"Not the damned Abbasids yet, their barracks are like a sieve."

"Okay, there's no way, I don't want to be robbed," Lao Luo said, "Then let's fight, I'll solve it when I return the artillery, and you can organize the manpower." ”

"How do you fix it?" McNee glanced at Lao Luo, and then said helplessly, "Okay, I'll organize people." ”

"Well, tell ten archers to follow me, and a few more jumpers." Lao Luo said, "Try to attack as far as possible, my arrows are still good." ”

McNee looked at the bow in Lao Luo's hand, he didn't see that it was an iron tire bow, he only thought it was black hardwood, so he was a little unconfident, "Okay, I told them to follow you." ”

"Don't worry, we're in the same boat, and I won't hurt you." Lao Luo had no choice but to cheer him up, "Cheer up, everyone still expects you to give them courage!" ”

The ship on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and the flag on the mast could already be clearly seen, with a black undertone, a white waning moon and a human skull. Lao Luo stared at the ship opposite, getting closer and closer, two thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, six hundred meters...... There is no return cannon on the opposite side, seven boats are right, the head boat is obvious, there are a few guys with teeth and claws on it, you can see clearly.

Lao Luo lowered his head and put all the arrows in front of him, and he chose all metal arrows. On the left and right were the archers selected from the ship, Lao Luo looked at their bows and said casually, "When you can shoot them, you can release the arrows, you don't have to wait for orders." ”

It's already in range, Lao Luo is worried about the rare pistachio, don't scare away with a few arrows, it's not good, it is estimated that when it is almost three hundred and fifty meters, no matter how close to ordinary archers can shoot it.

Lao Luo raised his bow, quickly set up his arrows, and directly aimed at the first few who were shouting, pulled the bow full, then set up the arrows, filled the bow, and shot again. With his arm strength, it is not a problem for this iron tire bow to shoot seventy or eighty times, and the archer next to him is about to be stunned, Lao Luo didn't pay attention to the effect, but everyone else is watching.

In just a few seconds, a large piece of the person on the boat opposite poured down.

Lao Luo sent a bow again, this time it was a shovel-shaped arrow specially made by Cui Zhoushi, and the main sail on the opposite side fell, and the formation on the opposite side was chaotic, and several pirate ships were in a mess.

McNee noticed this effect, and in a fierce manner, he directly ordered the sailman to turn the sail and rush towards the other party.

Lao Luo was not idle, there were more than thirty arrows in front of him, and he would shoot which one he saw waving his hand and shouting when he saw it. The surrounding archers shouted wildly, and they also fired arrows one after another, and the people on the other side were confused, only a few arrows came over, and they had no strength at all, and they didn't have the right head.

The pirate ship on the other side couldn't turn around at all for a while, and this side adjusted early and rushed straight over. As a result, soon the two sides approached only twenty or thirty meters apart.

The pirates on the main ship were frightened by Lao Luo's arrows, and the other ships were also affected, and there was no unified command. Lao Luo's side is in great spirits, many of the captains and sailors who left Mogadishu in a hurry are very depressed, and now there is a chance to vent, almost every boat is shooting arrows and spears, and it is very lively.

Twenty meters, ten meters, eight meters, the rope claws of the jumping hands were thrown and hung on the side of the other party's boat. At this time, it seemed that the positions of the two sides were reversed, the ships on Lao Luo's side were fierce and powerful, and the pirates were like wilted quails.

"Bang" Lao Luo's boat and the other party's head boat collided together, the moment the boat side touched, the jumper jumped directly over, Naga held a round-headed stabbing hammer in each hand, Mnaqi scimitar and dagger, Cui Eighteen two pointed four-cornered hammers, Camille was also a scimitar and a round shield, and the four of them also rushed over together.

Lao Luo looked at the situation and forgot it, don't go over. He simply grabbed his bow and held an arrow in one hand, and did not open it full, but shot an arrow wherever he saw danger on the opposite ship.

The battle went so smoothly that McNee could not have imagined it at first. Looking at Lao Luo, McNee shook his head, he didn't understand, such a big man, it was conceivable to say that he was a fierce general, but the archery was so powerful...... This is a youkai that came out of nowhere.

McNee also jumped onto the other party's boat, and the first mate Rafigo walked over with a shaking head, "Mr. Bartoll, you are really amazing, I can see it very clearly, you killed the other party's leader with the first few arrows." ”

"Hehe, don't talk about this," Lao Luo didn't care, "go and see how the battle damage is, and by the way, help me get the arrows back." ”

"Yes, Mr. Bartol," said Rafgo, feeling extremely honored, puffing up his chest, "willing to serve you. ”

"This guy ......" is very strange that there are such guys among the Arabs, and Lao Luo also feels very strange.

Climb to the top and see the situation from afar. Obviously all are good, Lao Luo's arrows at the beginning are not only shot at the head ship, the activists on the other ships are also taken care of by him, at this time the pirate ship is not enough, almost at least two merchant ships besiege a pirate ship, and there are merchant ships that can't get close to cruising beside it.

These poor pirates, who don't know which great god they didn't worship, crashed into the depressed old Luo, and this group of guys who had been suffocating since they came out of Mogadishu.

"Mr. Bartol, Mr. Bartol." The guy Rafeigo screamed and scurried back from the boat opposite, then gasped and said, "The guy you killed with the first arrow was the fathead fish you said at that moment, what happened to you?" ”

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Lao Luo was in a good mood at this time, and he was willing to laugh with Rafeigo.

"Well, it's a stroke of luck that the boatswain of the fathead fish is not dead, and has summoned the fathead to the station," and then Lafeigo said mysteriously, "and it is said that there is still a treasure ...... the fathead"

"Hidden treasure? This is good," Lao Luo came to his senses, "how can you find some treasures?" ”

"The captain said, let's go to the pirate's lair to rest tonight, and ask me for your opinion."

"Good! Listen to the captain, let's go in search of pirate treasure. ”
