Chapter 384: Vulnerable

Changing from active to passive, the grass mustard family fell into a difficult choice, seeing the third elder facing a stalemate, the second elder smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that the current bear and those Bright Sect pirates were no longer what they used to send casually. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe current strength of the people is completely out of the control of the grass mustard family, and it is so easy to let the family act as cannon fodder in such a situation.

In fact, the bear didn't want to get involved this time, Tang Ming's strength was in front of him, and he was even more uncertain about this attack, and the sect leader also knew that now was not the best time to take down Tang Ming. The sect leader is now even more interested in alienating the Kusaka family and turning to the Watanabe family.

The initiative is completely in the hands of the bear, and the Grass Mustard family is just a stepping stone for the Bright Sect to develop its maritime power, and now the Grass Mustard family is in crisis, and there is no reason for the Bright Sect to live and die with them. For the sake of a Tang Ming, it is completely unnecessary to fight off the family foundation that he has saved up with great difficulty.

After a period of silence, the three elders finally made a concession and negotiated with Bear to send half of the main force as the vanguard, but at first Bear completely disagreed, and still insisted on letting the Grass Mustard family take the main force of this attack. After a war of words over your bargaining, everyone reached a consensus,

The Grass Mustard family dispatched two-thirds of the main force, while the Bears sent one-third of their troops as the vanguard. The matter was very unpleasant on both sides, and when the bear left, the three elders did not do much to save them. At nightfall, more than two dozen pirate ships left the fleet of the Kusa Mustard family and returned to their respective forces to prepare for tomorrow's great battle.

Shortly after Zhu Yong and Li Ba's fleet left the hidden docks on Ryukyu Island, they deviated from the course and plunged headlong into the pirates' sphere of influence. The open sea was now completely surrounded by pirate fleets, and Zhu Yong and their fleet were discovered as soon as they approached the pirate cordon, because Zhu Yong and their ships did not have any signs, and they were all dressed as pirates, so they were mistakenly considered to be their accomplices.

At this time, Zhu Yongke was happy, and ordered the fleet to dock in a relatively remote place, and he and Li Ba sat down together to discuss.

"Big man, you said we should take advantage of the time to make some mess for these pirates, or we can fish in troubled waters to make some profit!" Zhu Yong smiled evilly, looking at the dense pirate ship, this kid's saliva couldn't help but flow wildly.

Li Ba was also very impressed by Zhu Yong's proposal, but they only had five ships, and the manpower was even smaller. In such a situation, even if the pirates could be captured, it would definitely not exceed five ships. He felt that it was not worth it to risk the annihilation of the whole army with only double the benefits.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Ba shook his head and said: "Let's wait patiently until dawn, when the pirates attack, we can just mess around with a few ships and run away, why take such a big risk to do such a thankless thing." ”

Zhu Yong measured his own strength, and felt that what Li Ba said was also reasonable, so he nodded in agreement, and went back to rest after the lights were turned off.

The night was dispelled by the first rays of sunlight, and the sea, which had been quiet all night, became lively with the sound of the trumpets of attack. The vanguard fleet of the Kusaka clan and the pirate forces spread their sails at full speed and rushed to attack Ryukyu Island head-on. The encirclement formed by other pirates is also gradually narrowing.

Tang Ming chose to confront the incoming enemy head-on this time, and Fei Xin took ten treasure ships as the vanguard and two hundred warships as the back, and lined up the entire coastal defense line covering half of Ryukyu Island. Putting on a head-to-head posture, ready to show the true strength of Tang Ming's fleet, now that Tang Ming intends to develop at sea, of course it is necessary to raise a profile, so as to make those who have thoughts about Ryukyu Island rein.

In the city of Nanjing, a fast horse galloped in the morning, and went straight to the imperial city after entering the city, and soon Zhu Di, who had just gotten off the morning court, received the news. The grass mustard family of the island country united a large number of pirates to attack Tang Ming's Ryukyu Island, Zhu Di smiled at this and did not say anything, and even suppressed the matter, and ordered the herald soldiers not to go out.

The paper still couldn't contain the fire, and Zhu Gaochi soon learned about Tang Ming and the island country grass mustard family from the emperor's inner servants. Although he was worried about Huang Shang's inaction, he was helpless, Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao went to sea together, and Tang Ming's greatest help was no longer in Daming. The officials and troops in southern Fujian did not have the emperor's order, and Zhu Gaochi did not have any way to mobilize.

Now he could only watch Tang Ming being attacked by others, and he couldn't help him in the slightest when he was in danger, so he had no choice but to send someone to southern Fujian to find out the news. After consulting with Lao Wang of the Treasure Shipyard, he sent all the dozens of warships that the Treasure Shipyard can only dispatch now.

Tang Ming didn't know the changes that had taken place in the Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty, at this moment he was boarding a treasure ship with Ji Gang and setting off from the hidden dock of Ryukyu Island, ready to give those pirates who formed an encirclement a head-on blow.

"Boom!"

Fei Xin, who was facing the grass mustard family's fleet head-on, finally ushered in the first cannon shot. The fleets of both sides could no longer care about lining up their wars, and as soon as they came into range, they opened fire on each other.

Fei Xin's ten treasure ships were the vanguard, and Li Dazhu's only ninety people's sharpshooter battalion was also distributed on the treasure ships, and the crisp sound of gunfire was mixed with the roaring artillery, which did not attract anyone's attention. The Mustard family suffered heavy losses as soon as the war began, and their artillery fire did no damage to the giant treasure ship at all. Often, before they were within range of the artillery, they were sunk by treasure ships that looked like hedgehogs.

It wasn't until the treasure ship entered the fleet camp of the Grass Mustard family that the Grass Mustard family realized that the nightmare had just begun. They found that the ships that were close to the treasure ship of the Great Ming had lost contact, and were then sunk by the warships that followed closely behind the treasure ship. This kind of thing kept spreading, and as the treasure ship continued to go deeper, the three elders quickly realized that something was wrong.

The people sent by the pirate forces were already in the rear, and at this moment, the grass mustard family was defeated, and these guys began to turn around and flee with a tacit understanding. Regardless of the Grass Mustard Clan, which was already in a bitter battle ahead, it didn't matter if they fled, it would immediately affect the Grass Mustard Family's fleet that was in a bitter battle.

The second elder looked at the third elder who kept scolding the bear bastard, quietly dodged to the stern of the boat, and quickly got on a small boat that had already been prepared along the rope ladder. The defeat of the grass mustard family has been decided, even if they continue to struggle, they will sink a few Tang Ming's warships at most, and their main treasure ships will definitely be unscathed.

At this time, the second elder was already able to foresee the scene of the third elder and the fourth elder dying in the sea. (To be continued.) )
