Chapter 49: The Cunning Pirate
Sun Moon Island, also known as Sun Moon God Island, is located in the eastern part of the Yellow Sea, 200 miles south of Phi Dao, close to the territory of Bangzi, and less than 100 miles from the Korean Peninsula.
Zheng He's treasure ship was at full speed, and under the command of Yan Hong and Li San, it ran all the way for more than ten days. Finally, at dawn on this day, they came within a hundred miles of Sun Moon Island.
The huge Zheng He's treasure ship, with a skeleton pirate flag raised high on the mast, had already frightened all the ships on the sea and fled in all directions.
At the same time, the pirates on Riyue Island were also startled, and they were ready early, and before Zhu Changyuan's big ship arrived, they were already waiting in array on the sea.
This piece of sea near Sun Moon Island, the sea surface is unusually calm.
It was a foggy early morning, and in the sight of Zheng He's treasure ship, a large number of small boats suddenly appeared, and the people on those small boats not only ran away in fright after seeing the big boat, but instead circled around like seeing a large piece of fat, harassing and tempting from time to time.
Zhu Changyuan stood at the bow of the boat, taking in the situation on the sea below, and counted the number of small boats, about fifty or sixty, all of which were manpower rowing, although the speed was not fast, but it was extremely flexible.
These ships didn't dare to approach Zheng He's treasure ship, otherwise they would die as soon as they threw it on fire, but they didn't leave, but they just harassed and watched from a distance, which made Zhu Changyuan's plan to sneak attack Sun Moon Island fall through.
This island, the defense on it is too tight.
"This group of pirates is still a bit of a wayman, and they even send people to patrol day and night!" Zhu Changyuan said.
Yan Hong looked at those small boats, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said with great certainty: "My lord, the last general has determined that there must be a big ship here, but it is just hidden in the fog behind. ”
"Oh?" Zhu Changyuan said curiously: "How do you know? ”
Yan Hong said: "There are still a hundred miles away from Sun Moon Island, how can these fifty or sixty small boats be rowed here with manpower, there must be big ships to meet each other, and this scale is not a big ship." ”
I see.
Zhu Changyuan nodded and asked, "Can you tell which direction the big ship is, we will use the treasure ship to hit it directly, and condescendingly throw it down and burn it to death." ”
Yan Hong shook his head, "These pirates are very cunning, we haven't dealt with each other at sea once or twice before, we can't tell, if the weather is clear, it's okay to say, now it's foggy, it's not easy to fight." ”
The opponent's strength is too scattered, and although his treasure ship is fast, it turns slowly and is very inflexible, and it is not a way to consume it like this.
When the two were watching, suddenly a small boat rushed to the bow of Zheng He's treasure ship thirty battles away, and they didn't dare to get too close, and shouted: "Friends on the big ship, this is our brother's den, if you go elsewhere and take a detour, this place is not quite peaceful." ”
Although the big ship has ten pieces of fat on this day, these pirates do not have enough strength to eat it at present. But if Zhu Changyuan comes by force, it will be a big deal that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the big ship will not be able to take too much advantage.
The pirates shouted endlessly, but Zhu Changyuan didn't agree. The point is that you can't get a ride if you want to, it's nonsense to say that you are going to take a detour, and that I am here to attack you, so it is better to fight directly.
Suddenly, Sun Erleng, who was directing the engine at the bottom of the boat, sent a message to Zhu Changyuan through the walkie-talkie: "My lord, it's not good, there is a voice under the ship!" ”
"Well, there's a voice under the boat, what do you mean?" Zhu Changyuan didn't react for a while.
Yan Hong yelled badly and said, "The enemy has dived under the water and is scuttling the boat." ”
"I K" almost swore out, Zhu Changyuan couldn't calm down anymore, and said in his heart that Nima's shouting guys turned out to be delaying time.
"Sun Erleng, start the engine, turn and retreat."
There are too many pirates in this sea area, and there is no way to spare energy to deal with those at the bottom of the ship for a while, so you can only evacuate to a safe position first.
Fortunately, the bottom of Zheng He's treasure ship was thick, and it couldn't be chiseled through for a while.
After Sun Erleng got the order, he turned the ship around and retreated dozens of miles, and the pirates behind him couldn't keep up at all. Zhu Changyuan also thought about directly driving the ship to the island to attack the past.
But there were too many pirates on the island, in the thousands; Second, there are a lot of pirates on the sea, and people have already made enough preparations, in case the other party is already sufficient, after you pass, you will first suffer a rain of arrows with fire, even Zheng He's treasure ship can't stand it.
After retreating dozens of miles away, those pirates did not follow for a while, and Zhu Changyuan ordered Li San to take people down to check the situation at the bottom of the ship.
Li San took people to grope around, and came back to report: "A big hole was chiseled out of the bottom of the boat, but fortunately it was not chiseled. ”
Zhu Changyuan ordered them to repair it immediately, while he returned to the bedroom and began to cross.
Click on the interface, go back to modern society, find a store that sells wetsuits and oxygen cylinders, buy more than 30 sets in one go, and then return to the big ship.
After distributing diving suits and oxygen cylinders to more than 30 soldiers with good water skills, and teaching them how to use them, Li San was sent to take these people to guard the safety of the bottom of the boat, and gave a special order: If you encounter those water bandits who are scuttling the boat, you will destroy them first.
The combat effectiveness of a single person in the water is not directly proportional to that of an equipped naval army.
After giving the order, he drove the ship again to the previous position, and after coming and going, the sun had risen high, and the dense fog on the sea had gradually dispersed a lot, and the shadows of the big ships behind the pirates could already be faintly seen.
There were five large ships, hidden behind more than fifty small ships, and it seemed that there were many pirate ships behind those big ships, such pirates were really insidious, not only organized, disciplined, but also resourceful.
Zheng Hebao's ship had just stopped, dozens of small boats swarmed up, and began to circle around the big ship from all angles, there were more than a dozen people on each small boat, and many people jumped off the boat with tools in their hands, and swam towards the bottom of Zhu Changyuan's boat in the sea, this time, he could see it clearly.
"Li San, go down!"
"Yes."
Li San took more than 30 diving warriors and quietly got off the boat, and then a fierce man plunged into the water.
After a while, blood flowers appeared in the blue sea, and then some corpses floated directly.
The captain of a small boat on the pirate ship was furious, and he said a lot of things in a while, and Zhu Changyuan didn't understand it, but he understood the guy's last gesture.
With a wave of little Japan's hand, almost all the small boats around him stood up with a few archers, bending their bows and arrows, and a cluster of flames were tied to the arrows.
Your sister, this is a fire attack.
Come on.
Zhu Changyuan ran for a while, he didn't feel right, what was he afraid of wearing body armor, besides, the big ship was too high, and the arrow couldn't shoot that high.
Sure enough, the rain of arrows flew, and in the end, one-tenth of it was nailed to the side of the hull, and the other ninety percent fell into the sea.
