The minions have no bottom in their hearts, and Liu Laoxiang himself came out hard. That night, he tossed and turned for a long time, and it was almost dawn before he made a decision: he must catch a few tongues, find out the situation, be prepared for both fighting and fleeing, and the escape route must also be carefully considered.

With this in mind, the atmosphere of the pirate group can almost be described as tragic during the lurking on the second day. There's no way, Liu Laoxiang, the big boss, has a face, his face is blue and blue, and the leaders also look like dead people in the family, and the others can't help but be affected.

However, for the next two or three days, the waters of northern Luzon were calm. After more than two months, the cool northeast wind has begun to weaken, and the waves at sea have become much calmer, and only seagulls pass by from time to time on the empty sea.

Not to mention the main fleet of the Xu family that the pirates expected and feared, even the Clippers who had been in succession for the first two days were gone, but this day was waiting for nothing.

"That's it for today, let's go back and talk about it." It's been another day, and Liu Laoxiang can't say what mood he is, there must be disappointment, but he has never breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid of the Xu family brothers, nor is he afraid of the Ming sailors, but he is very afraid of those high-ranking families in the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as he thought that Xu Chenjiang might have colluded with someone in Jiangnan, or some big family, he felt that his heart was cold, such a combination was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two, but would double.

Just think about it, how much of a role can those clippers and unknown far-sighted means play if they fall into the hands of an old navigator like him? And Xu Chenjiang's ability to those people is still above him Liu Laoxiang!

"Big boss, I passed there today, but it's ......"

"I'm ...... there too"

Back in Galayans, the leaders gathered again, most of them were like Liu Laoxiang, stupidly drank the northeast wind for a day, but there were also a few places where they saw the trail of the Clippers, but the results were still disappointing.

As time went on, the fleet of Clippers heading south dwindled rapidly, with the first two days being the most, followed by sporadic and much smaller fleets. Most of the first ones had ten or more ships, and the ones that came later were basically in single digits.

"That's it." Liu Laoxiang's calm reaction made the leaders breathe a sigh of relief, the big boss is still reasonable, and he knows that this kind of thing is not a war. But they didn't know that Lao Liu's heart was not as calm as it seemed, and he was also full of suspicion at this time.

Although Brother Xu's foundation is in Penghu, he is still very familiar with Luzon, where do you need to send so many scouts to explore the way? In the past few days, dozens of clippers have passed, and there are not three or five hundred clippers in total, and in terms of number alone, they have exceeded the fleet under Liu Laoxiang, how can there be so many scouts?

Well, moreover, the distribution of these clippers is also very strange, let's say scattered, they are in squads, they say that they act collectively, but they seem to be competing with each other, competing for the speed of time.

Thinking of this, Lao Liu's heart suddenly moved, and he eagerly asked left and right: "Is there any news from Gala?" ”

"Yes, the fleet I met at the beginning had already passed through Manila, and the people sent by Gala had been ambushed in the port, but somehow they were overlooked, and the fleet didn't even enter the harbor, and went directly to the south, and Gala said that he couldn't do anything further south......"

"What?" Liu Laoxiang got up suddenly and exclaimed.

"Big boss, you can't blame Gala for this, you know the surnames of those natives, they are more fierce than anyone else when they bully people, and they become like chickens when they meet strong opponents, plus they are too lazy to die, this time they are willing to mobilize people to go to the port and wharf to ambush, it is already very face-saving." The left and right were a little puzzled by Lao Liu's violent reaction, and they all spoke out of relief.

"Fart!" Liu Laoxiang suddenly became angry, and he shouted at the top of his throat: "Haven't you idiots seen it yet? Those are not scouts, they are stepping on plates, they are not coming for us, they are not for Luzon, Karawang, Medan, even Java are their targets! ”

His lips were pale, and his voice trembled a little, "The clippers are first, and the brigade is behind, and this is clearly the law in the army, and they ...... It's really a person from the imperial court! ”

"How is it possible, a few years ago, we met with Guangdong sailors in Qiongzhou, just their boats...... That's the best sailor in the imperial court! Big boss, are you mistaken, these clippers at the moment are not comparable to the broken ships of the imperial court, it has only been a few years, and the imperial court sailors can have such a big change? ”

"Yes, big boss, those clippers can still be used as warships, and they are very powerful, Loach Zhou they met with each other, and several ships were sunk, but they didn't even touch the other party's side ......"

"By the way, I almost forgot, what about the Loach Man? What the hell was going on in that battle? Hurry up and find him to meet me! The persuasion of the minions did not reassure Liu Laoxiang, but reminded him.

On the day of the first ambush, someone did say about it, but he was angry at the time, and he didn't take it to heart, at this time he had already paid attention to it, and when he mentioned it again, he only felt a burst of shock.

After a while, Loach Zhou came over.

This man was born in black, thin and small, and he belonged to the kind that could not be found when thrown into the mound, and at first glance, it did look like a loach. However, his nickname does not come from his appearance, but because his water surname is excellent, especially good at diving, a fierce man plunged into the water, and no one was immediately found.

In addition to the good surname Shui, he is also very slippery, usually when he sees Liu Laoxiang, he is a flattering and flattering sycophant, but when he looks at him today, this person is full of ashes, and his eyes are a little sloppy.

"Loach, what the hell happened that day, how the hell did you lose? How many of your people died? What about your ship, why haven't you seen your ship for the past few days? ”

"The people are still there, the boat is gone...... loach Zhou's lips moved, muttered a few sentences, and suddenly shouted loudly, with some crying in his voice: "Big boss, those clippers are not pathfinders, they are evil, we are not opponents, let's not fight, we can't win." ”

"What's the brainless crying and mourning? Speak well to Lao Tzu, what the hell is going on! Liu Laoxiang was already very uneasy in his heart, but at this time, he was yelled at by the loach, and he felt even more uncertain, a heart almost jumped out of his mouth, he picked up the loach, split his head and covered his face is a slap, while beating, he roared angrily.

The leaders present were also dumbfounded, there were not many people and ships under Loach, and he himself was not very bold, so he was really not very good at fighting tough battles. Therefore, after that day, because Liu Laoxiang was urging him tightly, no one paid attention to him, just thinking that he had built a cheap one, but he didn't eat it.

No one else touched the other party's side, only he saw a battle, and most people were gloating about this result, but looking at it today, it seems that things are different.

"Big boss, ...... that day" was beaten, and the loach finally woke up, but recalling the scene that day, he was still afraid, and his speech was intermittent. However, this time, no one was dissatisfied, and the hall soon became quiet, only the slightly trembling voice of the loaches echoed.

"At first, like the other brothers, the other party's ship turned far away...... I wasn't convinced, so I thought of a solution......"

The loach's method is to use people to outflank, he doesn't know how the other party finds the key to himself, he just thinks simply, he can find the boat, but he may not be able to find the person. As long as people hide in the sand or among the trees on the island, the concealment of the surname will naturally be stronger.

The effect of his method was not bad, after he set it up, the second fleet arrived, and when the other party found the ambushed ship and wanted to turn to avoid it, he and the water ghost lying in ambush on the other side went into the water together, and passed to meet the other party's boat.

In the sea, no matter how good a person's water surname is, it is unrealistic to want to chase the boat, but if the two sides meet head-on, it is difficult to say. The flyship was a light ship, and it was attached to the bottom of the ship by a water ghost, which would cause big trouble, so after discovering the water ghost, the leader of the fleet weighed the pros and cons, chose the original route, and went to meet the loach fleet.

Loach was overjoyed when he saw this, there are ten such good ships, even if he can't take them all, as long as he takes more than two, Boss Liu has to keep one for himself. With such a clipper, it will be convenient to rob in the future, and what is the difficulty of rolling in the money?

However, things were far from going as smoothly as he imagined, and soon, the smile on his face froze, and he suddenly found that the other party's ship was armed, and it was a long-range weapon that could shoot one or two hundred steps.

He watched as projectiles the size of watermelons were thrown out, emitting flames in the air, and then falling on his ship with a plume of green smoke. Then, the flames were everywhere, and at first there were figures shaking around the fire, apparently his men were fighting the fire, but it didn't take long for his people to start jumping into the sea.

When they jumped into the sea, the expressions on their faces were terrified, and at most they were holding a wooden plank in their hands, obviously not to be water ghosts, but to escape for their lives. Seeing this scene, the loach had a terrible guess, and it was confirmed by the survivors later, that the projectile thrown by the other party was also strange, and that thing could cause an unquenchable fire!

After listening to the loach's story, the pirates felt cold on their bodies, and the boss was right, the enemy was not coming for their little pirate group. If all the clippers have this kind of weapon on it, no, not all of them, as long as there are thirty percent, with mental calculation or unintentional, it is enough to completely wipe out Liu Laoxiang's pirate group.

The avoidance of those ships was obviously not due to fear, they were just afraid of trouble, afraid of delaying time, and if they were forced to do so, they would also force a breakthrough. The reason why I disdain myself and these people is just because the other party doesn't take him seriously, thinking about it, the ambush in the past few days is really ridiculous.
