Chapter Eighty-Three: The Old Man
Ge Bi was the last to go ashore.
They jumped to grab the ship surprisingly smoothly, and there were only three pirates left on the eagle ship, who were hurriedly wearing armor at the time, and were caught off guard by Ling Ming, and after slashing down one of the pirates who tried to resist, the other two immediately fell to their knees and begged.
Ge Bi asked Ling Ming to take the captives ashore first, and after he made clear arrangements on the "Dawn", he rowed ashore in a small boat.
When he reached the open space in front of the shack, he was just in time to cut off the head of a pirate, and with a flash of the snowy sword, the head flew far away, and a cavity of dirty blood flew far away, and the body fell to the ground.
"See? If you don't be honest, you'll be next! Ling Ming yelled at one of his captives, a look of fervor and cruelty on his face.
Not only him, but all the people on the flat ground, whether it was the escort or the guys on the ship, all of them were like chicken blood, red eyes and screaming excitedly, and the fanatical aura emitted seemed to set the air on fire.
"Uncle Ge, this island is a place where octopus pirates hide their treasures!" Ge Bi was strange, Chu Fan came up and said, even if he was as calm as him, his voice trembled a little.
"Really?" Ge Bi's heart was also beating wildly, and he finally understood why everyone was so fanatical.
The pirate with the head of the jujube kernel had now become the interpreter of Ling Ming's interrogation, but while he turned Ling Ming's words to the sail leader, the second leader of the eagle ship who had been captured by Ling Ming and them on the ship, he secretly looked at Chu Fan - how could he not know who the real person in charge of this group of people was.
However, when he saw Ge Bi beside Chu Fan, his eyes widened suddenly, and he closed his eyes as if he couldn't believe it and shook his head, and after opening his eyes again, he stopped translating, stood up and shouted at Ge Bi, "Boss Ge? Is it really you? ”
Ge Bi only noticed him at this time, tilted his head to look at him for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Are you...... Little Bao'er? ”
The jujube kernel head quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "It's me, it's me!" Boss Ge, help! ”
After Ge Bi looked at him deeply, he turned to Chu Fan, who was full of question marks, and said, "Young Master, this is one of my subordinates back then, named Yi Bao...... I don't know how it got mixed up with these sticks. ”
Chu Fan comprehended, and motioned for the pillar on the side to loosen the tie for Yi Bao, "Since it is Uncle Ge's old brother, it is my own family." ”
After the overjoyed Yi Bao was free, he rushed to Chu Fan and kowtowed repeatedly, and after kowtowing, he kowtowed to Ge Bi, who took a lot of effort to appease this crying and laughing old brother.
After Yi Bao, who had to get out of the big trouble, calmed down a little, in order to show his loyalty to the new owner, he cooperated with Ling Ming to interrogate the sail head more actively, and his voice was more powerful than Ling Ming, and he knew the bottom of the sail head, so he quickly took out the location of the treasure from the sail head's mouth - a big gap on the mountainside.
Chu Fan was overjoyed, and asked Liu Zhongwen to lead the group to take the sail head to get the treasure, while he and Ge Bi stayed on the flat ground to learn about the situation from Yi Bao—Yi Bao had been in the pirate's den for several years, and for Chu Fan, he was really a good guide.
"Boss Ge, it was these pirates who attacked us back then." After returning to his own people, Yi Bao gritted his teeth when he talked about the past.
The leader of the octopus pirates is surnamed Gao, named Gao Shuncheng, who turned out to be a small officer in charge of the rudder in the North Korean naval division. In the Battle of Luyang, the famous Korean general Yi Sunsin was killed, and since then, the military discipline of the Korean naval division has quickly deteriorated, and the captains have carried smuggled goods, exploited business travel, and acted arbitrarily; There are even those who are bold and simply slaughter the captain and fall into the grass, and Gao Shun is one of them.
Gao Shuncheng, who became a pirate, was even more unscrupulous, robbing merchant ships and never leaving a living, and he often attacked villages near the sea, slaughtering all the men, and snatching the women back to be prostitutes; This guy not only robbed the coast of North Korea, but sometimes ran to the coast of Shandong and Nanzhili in the Ming Dynasty.
That sneak attack on Ge Bi them, this Yi Bao was injured and fainted at the beginning, and after the islanders were killed, he was still discovered by the pirates, if it wasn't for one of the Ming people to intercede for him, he would probably have been mended.
Since then, Yi Bao can only follow Gao Shuncheng into a mess, and it will take three years to get on the thief ship. According to Yi Bao, although Gao Shuncheng is ruthless, he has rich experience in naval warfare, and he is extremely alert and cunning.
"Last time, we fell in love with him," Ge Bi said hatefully when he heard this, "If it weren't for the young master's quick decision to make a risky move this time, we wouldn't know how to escape desperately now." ”
Yi Bao didn't know the process, so Ge Bi roughly told him about the ambush he encountered Gao Shuncheng off the coast of Jewupo, and Yi Bao looked at Chu Fan in disbelief after hearing it, "Young master, you are too bold...... Gao Shuncheng has never missed a move in that place, that place is carefully selected by him, no matter which direction he flees, as long as the north wind blows, he will definitely not be able to run him...... I didn't expect this old dog day to have this day, and someone dared to rush over the turtle boat! ”
He was still chattering with reverence on his face, but Chu Fan interrupted him with a smile and continued to interrogate Gao Shuncheng and the situation on the West Coast.
According to Yi Bao's understanding, this Gao Shuncheng dared to start whether he was a merchant or a lone sailor, so after all these years at sea, his subordinates had saved some money - there was one turtle boat, one No. 2 fortune boat, three Haicang boats, four sand boats with more than 400 materials, and more than a dozen other smaller ships like eagle boats; His subordinates were mainly Koreans, and there were some Japanese and Ming people, about four or five hundred; His lair was on a large island to the west, seventy or eighty miles away from the nameless island, and it was almost entirely filled with pirates' families, and of course some women who had been plundered to serve as prostitutes, and the population of the whole island was about three hundred people.
When Yi Bao said that Gao Shuncheng's lair had seven or eight bed crossbows high on the coast to guard the sea, Chu Fan seemed to have a flash of lightning in his mind, and he finally remembered what he was thinking when he passed by the turtle boat that day.
That day, seeing Liu Zhongwen use rockets to shoot back at the turtle boat, Chu Fan felt that he didn't necessarily have to use guns to arm the "Dawn", and now that he was reminded by Yi Baoyi, he immediately came back to his senses - the bed crossbow can be used as a shore defense gun, why can't it be used as a turret?
You must know that the firing range of the bed crossbow is not much smaller than that of the Franc machine gun, up to 1500 meters, and if the bed crossbow is equipped with scientific aiming equipment, its shooting accuracy and ballistic characteristics are completely incomparable with the guns of this era.
The two most important points are that the bed crossbow can be mounted on the bow and stern of the ship, and it can also be turned into a terrifying existence by adding explosives to the crossbow - it will take hundreds of years for the flowering bomb to appear.
As soon as he was distracted, Yi Bao stopped, Ge Bi didn't speak, and quietly looked at his own young master who was dancing with his eyebrows, this expression had also appeared before Chu Fan's schematic diagram of the wing sail last time, and he knew that the young master was thinking about something new again.
After a while, Chu Fan finally thought clearly, and then he came back to his senses and asked Yi Baodao, "This Gao Shuncheng should be the strongest among the Korean pirates, right?" ”
Yi Bao thought for a moment and replied, "Just talk about the West Coast, he will definitely be in the top three!" ”
Chu Fan gasped after hearing this-it sounds like Gao Shuncheng is already very bullish, but he is not the most bullish!
It seems that the west coast of North Korea is full of dangers!
