The three of them all turned their heads to look behind the wolf, Xu Hai's flying knife that had just been inserted back into the knife pocket shot again, the cold light flashed, only a scream was heard, the black-haired young man who was the first to stun the wolf inserted this flying knife between his eyebrows, his eyes were wide open, and when he fell, the finger holding the revolver gun pressed the trigger again out of physiological reaction, only to hear a "bang", another bullet, and the sawdust on the boat on the side flew sideways.

The wolf only felt cold on his back, just now he was only half a second slower, but he was afraid that he had been killed by this bullet, he turned his head to look at Rodriguez, only to see that his eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth were bleeding for a long time, and a drop of blood beads was strung into a thread, flowing down this blood line to the deck, and the big blood hole in the chest went straight to the back, this shot hit the heart, the wolf could see from this blood hole that his dark red heart had stopped beating, obviously, until he died, He also didn't believe that he would go through this sinful life in this way.

Sky Wolf sighed and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect to solve Rodriguez in such a way. ”

Wang Zhi's face was pale, and he walked to the dead baby soldier, Xu Hai was also standing beside him, wiping the flying knife that had just been pulled out of his head, Wang Zhi pointed at the baby soldier and shouted in a deep voice: "What's going on!" Celestial wolf, how can there be a living enemy in the place you pass by? ”

Sky Wolf smiled slightly: "This is just a child, he was begging for mercy in his eyes before I made a move just now, and I didn't take his life as soon as my heart softened, and knocked him unconscious." Unexpectedly, after he woke up, he touched the gun and fought back. ”

Wang Zhi was so angry that he flew up, and the corpse flew up in the air and went directly out of the edge of the boat. Falling into the sea, several sharks that had been swimming alone for a long time immediately came over as soon as they smelled blood, and the corpse was instantly dragged below the surface of the water, and soon, there was nothing left except a string of blood bubbles upwell.

Wang Zhi roared angrily: "Sky wolf." It's because of your mother-in-law that our big things are ruined!"

Sky Wolf sneered: "At this time, you said that I was not ruthless enough! Captain Wang, you have seen these Spaniards as well. It's just a child, and he can't read the grace of saving his life, and the first thing he wants to kill when he wakes up is me, the one who spared his life, even if you make any agreement with Rodriguez today. Do you think he's going to obey? ”

Wang Zhi was slightly stunned. turned to say sharply: "When I destroy Chen Sipan, I can't help him not cooperate with us, today we also taught the Spaniards a hard lesson, so that he can see how powerful we are, and he will never dare to have two hearts after he goes back." ”

Sky Wolf waved his hand: "Ship Master Wang, I'm not as optimistic as you, today is just that we took advantage of the dense fog to raid, and took advantage of the Spaniards' unpreparedness in addition to the big victory. If it were on a clear sea, if the destroyer was in the middle of a bunch of warships. You ask yourself, is it that easy to do? ”

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth: "But at that time, the old man will not fight alone, there will still be hundreds of well-equipped warships around him, and he will not be afraid of the Spaniards at all." ”

Sky Wolf laughed: "Yes, fight head-on, you may win, but you will also suffer heavy losses, Wang Zhi, mix at sea, strength is king, if you sink your ship and kill people, how can you go to armed robbery?" ”

Wang Zhi said angrily: "So I want to make peace with Rodriguez, now that you kill him, the Spaniards will fight us to the death next, this is what your court wants to see, right!"

The sky wolf waved his hand: "Lord Wang, I want to kill Rodriguez purely to avenge the people of the Daming in the South Seas who died under his butcher's knife, there is no other meaning, and this person hates us Chinese, he speaks Chinese very well, he can do business with us, but he chose to slaughter our merchants and people, because the things robbed have no cost, and there is no need to pay anything, you catch him today, he will bear the burden of humiliation for a while, greet you with a smile, and after going back, he will definitely attack you to avenge today's revenge, Don't you believe it? ”

Wang Zhi's tone calmed down a little, after experiencing the fury at the beginning just now, this sea tyrant also began to think calmly, he pondered for a while, or shook his head: "No, Sky Wolf, I still have that point of view, as long as we eliminate Chen Sipan and dominate this East China Sea and South Sea, then the Spaniards can only cooperate with us, this is very realistic, whether he likes the Chinese or not, he has to deal with us, at most I give Chen Sipan the conditions that Chen Sipan gave him before." ”

The wolf laughed, glanced at the sinking Destroyer in the distance, the Spanish sailors who were watching the shark tail fin swimming in the water, and let out a terrifying scream, said: "Lord Wang is so forgetful, so quickly forget who is the mastermind of this time, since Yan Shifan has torn his face with you this time and organized so many forces to besiege you, he is bound to do nothing, I am afraid that it will not be easy for you to eat Chen Sipan, let alone cooperate with the Spaniards, If Yan Shifan can give Rodriguez the benefits of trade, then will Rodriguez still be able to be friends with you? ”

Wang Zhi was speechless to the wolf, and finally could only sigh, looked at the corpse of Rodriguez who was still lying on the edge of the boat, and said: "You are right, Rodriguez is not credible, the matter has come to this, regret is useless, think about the next move is the right way, Ah Hai, what do you say now?" ”

Xu Hai smiled slightly: "Boss, although we lost Shuangyu Island this time, we also sank the Miè Destroyer, killed Rodriguez, and severely damaged the enemy's arrogance, now what we have to do is to rush to the outer ocean, meet up with the other rescue fleets on our side, and give them a hard blow before this group of dogs has time to retreat." ”

Wang Zhi smiled and said, "You mean to start a war this afternoon or night?" ”

Xu Hai shook his head: "No, the enemy army is now the most vigilant, if we don't attack today, they may still loot on the island, but now that we have sunk the Miè Destroyer, of course, they have seen our strength." But it will also increase their vigilance, but I am afraid that in the next two or three days, they will be very closely guarded. If we attack at this time, first, we may be taken advantage of their eagerness to recapture Shuangyu Island, and we will suffer heavy losses due to the ambush they have set up, and secondly, the batteries and heavy artillery on Shuangyu Island are also a huge threat to our fleet, and even if we can capture them, we will suffer heavy losses. ”

Wang Zhi and Sky Wolf both nodded their heads when they heard this. Heavenly Wolf secretly said in his heart that this Xu Hai really knows the art of war, and Liu Yu's book of war also has a similar point of view, it seems that the masters of the art of war coincide. I only heard Xu Hai continue: "Actually, our best choice now is not to recapture Shuangyu, but to intercept Chen Sipan's lair in reverse, and then go further south." Go and attack the Spaniards on Luzon. This time their main forces are exhausted, even the Rodriguez and the Mière Destroyer are coming, and the garrison of Luzon must be empty, and if we raid their hometown, then they will definitely rush back, and then we will choose the sea area within the Taiwan Strait as the battlefield, in which it will be convenient for our fast boats to maneuver, and it will be unfavorable to their huge ships and cannons. You will win in one battle. ”

Wang Zhi laughed: "Ah Hai, your thoughts are exactly the same as the old man's." At this time, attacking Shuangyu is the next policy, now Yan Shifan is nowhere to be seen, and Chen Sipan and Shimazu Yoshihiro although they have their own ghosts, but under our strong pressure will definitely temporarily hold together, we attack at this time, we will only let them join forces to deal with us, it is really a strategy, I understand the Shimazu family, they grabbed a pass this time, and they were angry, and then they will rush back to Japan as soon as they have the opportunity, if they fold these thousands of elites on Shuangyu Island, then their Shimazu family may not be able to gain a firm foothold in Kyushu, this time let them go back, In the future, I will slowly settle accounts with them, and the first one will clean up Chen Sipan first. ”

The Heavenly Wolf suddenly spoke: "What about Yan Shifan?" This person is scheming, since he has single-handedly planned this operation, he will not give up, and is only satisfied with capturing Shuangyu Island, his target is still you and Captain Xu, the owner of the ship, and only when you die, he can sit back and relax. ”

"Since Yan Shifan can offer Rodriguez a price that allows him to go out in person, he can naturally offer the same or even higher price to the new successor governor, maybe it is possible to directly open a few coastal port cities for trade purposes, the Spaniards are not Japanese, they have not caused trouble in the interior, as long as they can bring trade benefits to the imperial court, presumably the emperor will not refuse, at this time, what should you do?"

Wang Zhi heard that cold sweat broke out on his head, and he glanced at Xu Hai, who was also a little discolored, and said in a deep voice: "Then what do you say?" I also want to kill Yan Shifan now, but after all, he is a small pavilion elder and an important minister of the court, if he hurts him, then his father will definitely say that the emperor will raise troops to destroy us, and no matter if he loses, the matter of peace will never be played, besides, now we don't even know where Yan Shifan is, even if we want his life, we can't find his people. ”

Heavenly Wolf laughed: "This big scene, how could Yan Shifan miss it?" If my expectations are correct, he is either on the island now, or in the fleet, as long as we don't rush out of here, if we leave the fleet pursued by the thieves, then Yan Shifan will definitely chase after Chen Sipan and Shimazu Yoshihiro, and if he and other thieves, especially Shimazu Yoshihiro, can be captured alive at that time, then the fact that he has betrayed the country is ironclad, and no one can save him. When the time comes, they will just wipe out their Yan family's father and son, wouldn't it be a great harm to the world?!"

Wang Zhi nodded, and asked rhetorically: "But you also told Xu Hai before that Yan is a powerful party, and he controls most of the official positions in the imperial court, and the so-called involvement of the whole body is that the emperor deliberately wants to remove Yan Song's officials, and he can't carry it out, so you are so sure that this crime of complication can be fatal with one blow?" ”

The wolf nodded affirmatively: "Ship Master Wang, you don't know our emperor, he has a good face, if it weren't for his own face, he would have been able to open the sea and trade with you according to Governor Hu's mention, Yan Shifan, as an important minister of the imperial court, directly colluded with the authentic Japanese in private, and the Shimazu clan has always had the ambition to invade the Central Plains, such a serious crime, not to mention that those Qing school ministers will attack it en masse, even other officials of the Yan Party dare not have anything to do with Yan Shifan anymore, the so-called tree is scattered, That's it. ”

The light in Wang Zhi's eyes flashed and he didn t reply, one hand supported his chin, and he thought carefully for a while, the sea breeze blew his beard, and the momentum of a sea overlord was undoubtedly evident even when he was contemplating it, and finally. He still shook his head: "Heavenly Wolf, I think it's still unlikely that it will be as you wish, because it is we who arrest Yan Shifan." When the time comes, he bites back, saying that you Tianlu colluded with me Wang Zhi, framed him, caught him, and then sent him to the government with the Japanese to make an unjust case, how do you explain it? ”

The Celestial Wolf shook his head: "This time I came to negotiate with you, but I did the emperor's order. How can it be said to be collusion? Besides, Yan Shifan, as an important minister, went to the southeast at this time, and went to sea privately. It's not normal in itself, and a little scrutiny can expose his lies. ”

Wang Zhi sighed: "Heavenly Wolf, I think you still underestimate this little pavilion elder too much. This man is scheming. We will never fight uncertain battles, we don't know where he is hiding now, the brothers Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Yoshihisa, and Rodriguez have all come out, Chen Sipan should not be difficult to find, but the mastermind of this organization planning such a big operation is not visible, don't you think it's strange? ”

Sky Wolf's eyes lit up: "You mean, Yan Shifan is still hiding in the shadows. Ready to lure us into action and then kill us all? ”

Xu Hai smiled: "That's right. Yan Shifan should have known at this time that we had escaped from Shuangyu Island, and once we met with the main fleet, his plan this time would be in vain, so when we attacked Rodriguez just now, those bulky Spanish galleons could not turn around and rescue in time, which is not surprising, but none of Chen Sipan's light and fast assault ships came to save people, so I am afraid that there will be a mystery. ”

Wang Zhi's face changed suddenly: "It's not good, shouldn't the thieves set up an ambush on the way back to rescue our fleet, and want to wipe out our offshore fleet in one fell swoop!"

Xu Hai's face also turned pale all of a sudden: "Boss, it's too bad, Chen Sipan's main force is only afraid that most of them are not here, attacking the island with the Spanish gunboats and the Shimazu family's marines, plus the inner ghosts that have been bought a long time ago, Chen Sipan's main naval force must have gone to Dachen Island, where the water is turbulent and the reefs are dense, suitable for Chen Sipan's assault ships to ambush, if our ship is in a hurry to come back to rescue, it will inevitably pass through Dachen Island, alas!" Why didn't I think of that?!"

Wang Zhi didn't care about talking to them anymore, turned around and ran to the bow of the boat, and said without looking back: "Quick, hang the sails, turn the rudder, and move towards Dachen Island at full speed!"

Heavenly Wolf's heart also sank suddenly, but he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, Ship Master Wang, we have this one ship now, even if we rush to that Dachen Island, what role can it play in the sea battle of hundreds of ships?" ”

Wang Zhi turned his head, his beard was blown in the air by the sea breeze, and said angrily: "Sky wolf, if you are afraid of death and don't want to go, I will give you a boat now where you fall in love, and it is not your subordinates who die, so you are not in a hurry, are you?" Or do you wish that my Wang Zhi's subordinates were all lost in this battle? ”

Sky Wolf waved his hand: "Ship Master Wang misunderstood, how could I hope that Yan Shifan's thief succeeded, don't forget, we are now comrades in the same boat, naturally we want to think in one place, and strive to make one place, I think that when I arrive at Dachen Island, I see that today's weather should be clear and clear, and then I want to repeat this attack in the fog and get the good thing of the flagship, but I am afraid that it is impossible." ”

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth: "You have to give it a try, otherwise why should I leave my brothers for nothing?" ”

Heavenly Wolf Zhengse said: "Ship Master Wang, you are honest, if it is really as you just said, Chen Sipan's main force has set up an ambush there, and Yan Shifan himself is commanding there, not to mention whether he will leave a force specifically to prevent you from breaking through, just say that you can join the battlefield smoothly, what are the chances of victory?" ”

Xu Hai's face sank like water: "Boss, even if our brothers in the open sea receive the news, they will come back in twos and threes, and they must be hanging sails at full speed, once they are ambushed, there is no way to fight back, the wolf is right, we have no chance of winning, only to find another way." ”

Wang Zhi's body shook, a mouth, "wow", spit out a mouthful of blood, it can be seen that he is in chaos, for this overlord who has been on the sea, only the fleet that exists is the most important, Shuangyu Island can still find another base if it is lost, and if the gold and silver treasures are gone, you can still go to business or rob again, but if the fleet that started is gone, then it will be over, so when Shuangyu Island fell in front of you and the fortress of Shuangdingshan City was lost, he could still command the counterattack calmly, But if the fleet in the open sea was in danger, he immediately became angry, and even in front of the Heavenly Wolf, he lost his temper.

Wang Zhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up straight, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "The old man can't just watch the brothers die, he has to do something, even if he can't win this battle, he can force himself through the battlefield and report to the brothers who have not yet entered the ambush, and he can reduce the losses." ”

Xu Hai nodded: "Boss, let's take a little detour, bypass Xiaochen Island, fifteen miles west of Dachen Island, and then stop on the road to stop our ships that have not yet had time to enter, if we can save one, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, even if we can save a hundred or so boats, we can slowly fight guerrilla with Chen Sipan in the future, and we can slowly pull it back." ”

The Heavenly Wolf suddenly spoke: "What if the Ming warship in the north is Lu Bo's department to join the battle?" (To be continued......)
