Chapter 377: Officially declaring war
As the king said, all this is the fact that Luzon is facing at the moment, and Yan Ruwei and the ministers just refuse to face it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After all, they and Luzon were in a much better situation than they were when they were besieged by pirates, but now they had to choose, and the hall fell silent again.
Soon after, the king reported that Tang Ming and his fleet had all left the ports of Luzon, and the grass mustard family had sent ships to follow them. A life-and-death struggle at sea was about to begin, and the king looked up at the blue sky, feeling nervous for no reason. The future of Luzon and himself was at stake, and the king himself could not be worried.
Compared with the king's nervousness, Tang Ming, who had already returned with the fleet, seemed extremely calm, and Li Ba was not only not worried but also looked excited after hearing what had happened. This will be discussing with Zhu Yong hiding in the corner muttering about how to kill the ships of the Grass Mustard family behind him.
Li Ba liked to be direct, he insisted on sinking those ships directly with artillery, and Zhu Yong didn't know if he was influenced by Tang Ming, and insisted on letting Li Da Hammer them out and slowly kill them with flintlock pistols. The two guys insisted on their own opinions and did not back down from each other, and the whispered discussion finally evolved into a posture of fighting.
In the end, Tang Ming, who was annoyed enough by the two of them, had to stop the two of them loudly, and made a decision with a cruel smile: "Li Dazhui will take your brother and kill all the people on the ship while trying to maintain the integrity of the Caojiao family's ship." Although those boats are not worth a few dollars, no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still a piece of meat, and it is not good to waste it! ā
Li Dazhui clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and was about to leave, but Tang Ming suddenly stopped him again: "Just kill all the warriors of the Grass Mustard family on the ship, those sailors or handymen on the ship should not kill the people of the Grass Mustard family from time to time, didn't Brother Fei say that there is an urgent shortage of manpower?" When you go back, give him the captives. ā
Li Da Hammer didn't seem to agree with Tang Ming's careful calculation, but he still smiled and went out to carry out the mission, and after a while, Tang Ming in the cabin heard the sound of Li Da Hammer summoning his men and horses, and then the treasure ship returned to peace.
Zhu Yong licked his lips, rubbed his rough hands, leaned to Tang Ming's side with a smile, and said cheaply: "Master Hou, should we go directly to the island country now, how about giving me a vanguard general?" I promise that after I go to the island country, I will kill the grass mustard family and leave no armor behind. ā
Li Ba, who was also a militant, heard that Zhu Yong wanted to be a pioneer, he immediately became anxious, rushed to Tang Ming's side in two steps, and hit Zhu Yong with his huge ass and directly knocked him away from Tang Ming's side, and then said angrily: "This pioneer belongs to me Li Ba, how can such an important thing let Zhu Yong go to that unserious person, it's not good if you mess things up!" ā
As soon as Zhu Yong stabilized his body, he heard Li Ba count himself down in front of Tang Ming, and he was immediately anxious! I fought with the old man once, Zhu Yong still felt that it was not enjoyable, there must be someone more powerful than the old man in the grass mustard family, such a master is very difficult to meet, no matter what, he Zhu Yong is determined to be the pioneer.
"Who do you say is not serious, do you have as much merit as me? Do you have as many battles as I do? You are a big man, in addition to having more strength, there are people who are stronger than me Zhu Yong, so this pioneer must be by me! Zhu Yong hit the nail on the head to accuse Li Ba of his shortcomings.
When the dry firewood met the flames, the two were like a pair of natural enemies, and they had to quarrel every time they discussed things. Tang Ming was so used to this that he couldn't get used to it anymore, and when the two guys weren't paying attention, he sneaked out of the cabin, went directly to the deck of the bow of the ship, took out his binoculars and began to look for Li Dazhui and their traces.
At this moment, there was a crackling sound in the cabin, and you could guess with your toes that it must be two guys who had already started fighting. Tang Ming shook his head helplessly, thinking: "These two guys just have too much energy, and they often fight when they don't agree with each other when they have no place to vent, it seems that it is necessary to find something for these two guys to do." ā
"Bang!"
A crisp and short gunfire rang out from Tang Ming's left side, and when he followed the prestige, he saw that several following sea ships had fallen into the encirclement of the battleship. Li Dazhui and 100 brothers were shooting at the ship non-stop, and after each shot, Tang Ming could always see the blood flying through the binoculars.
The ships of the Grass Mustard family were powerless to fight back in the face of Li Dazhui's encirclement, and after a while, no one dared to appear on the deck again. Li Da Hammer smiled and began to take his subordinates to the boarding battle, the disparity in strength doomed the fate of the grass mustard family, Li Da Hammer led his men all the way forward, ruthlessly harvesting every samurai with a knife in his hand.
When the gunshot rang out, it immediately alarmed the two guys who were still fighting in the cabin, Zhu Yong was hit in one eye by a fist, and it was black, and Li Ba was not much better, and the left cheek was high and swollen. The two of them rushed out of the cabin and came directly to Tang Ming's side, snatched the binoculars from the guards' hands and carefully checked the battle situation.
It's a pity that the two of them are still a step slower, Li Dazhui's attack is nearing the end, and all the samurai of the grass mustard family are not spared, and they are counting the sailors and miscellaneous servants on the ship at this moment. Several sea ships were tied to the back of the battleship's butt intact and dragged away, and Li Dazhui also changed to a small boat and returned to Tang Ming's treasure ship.
"Back to the Hou Ye, all the warriors of the fifty-eight grass mustard families were killed, and more than 200 sailors and miscellaneous servants were all counted, and our side did not suffer any casualties in this battle. The six seagoing ships were seized without any damage, and a small amount of gold and silver was found on the ship, all of which were packed in this wooden box. Li Dazhui presented an old wooden box with both hands, held it high and handed it to Tang Ming.
Zhu Yong took the box curiously, opened it and looked inside, pouted for a moment, and then returned the box to Li Dazhui's hand. muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's not shabby to take this money and offer treasures!" ā
Li Dazhui had an embarrassed look on his face when he heard this, the money in it is indeed not much, it is only a few hundred taels, although there are regulations in the army, the loot is not worth a thousand or two steps to hand over. But he didn't take into account Tang Ming's careful calculation just now, so he handed over these hundreds of taels.
'Smack! Unceremoniously kicked Zhu Yong, and Tang Ming asked Li Dazhui to distribute the money to the brothers in the sharpshooter battalion. A few hundred taels is indeed a small amount, and Li Dazhui also misunderstood himself before handing over this bit of loot. (To be continued.) )
