At dawn the next day, Cui Qian called everyone up, and after breakfast, he gave the pirates an order to fight, and today no matter what, they must catch up with the merchant ships, defeat the sailors, and all the merchant ships will become trophies. In the face of countless pirates who were lured by wealth, Cui Qian stated that this time he would only take sixty percent, and the other forty percent would be divided equally among all the pirates who participated in the war.

The pirates rejoiced, this ratio is very fair, although Cui Qian only has more than 3,000 people, but the people who came this time are almost all medium-sized warships, and there is also a building ship, although there are many others, but most of them are mainly small boats, all the medium-sized warships combined, there is not more than one person, let alone the building ship.

This is strength, the pirates don't believe in benevolence, righteousness and morality, they only believe in strength, so they are very satisfied with Cui Qian's generosity. Cui Qian looked at the flattering smiling faces of the pirates, and felt very bitter, the pirates didn't know that he Cui Qian had become a lost dog, and after winning the battle, he still needed to use the sixty percent of the loot to buy them, and the final result was still unknown. However, he had no way out, only to slap his swollen face and become fat, and give up his life.

Brothers Cui Wen and Cui Wu stood behind him, silent, but their moods were completely different. They have no objection to robbing merchant ships now, but after the robbery, whether they want to use all the loot to buy pirates and Sun Shao to fight to the death, they have different opinions, Cui Wen feels that Cui Qian is angry and loses his mind for the sake of face, Cui Wu raised his hands in favor, if he doesn't take revenge, how can he be a man?

But those are the things that come later, and now, they are consistent.

"Let's go!" Cui Qian waved his hand, and the only building ship in the fleet sailed southeast under the escort of more than a dozen medium-sized warships. Eighty huge oars were shaken by 400 sailors, and the building ships cut through the waves and marched forward bravely. Cui Wu was impatient, he got on a medium-sized warship and rushed to the front. Thirty miles, in an unobstructed view of the blue sea, although the merchant ships fleeing in panic seemed to be only a few small black dots faintly visible, but he seemed to be able to hear their rapid breathing, and could see their frightened eyes.

All of this made him excited. Since he was transferred to Laozhai three years ago, he has not gone to sea to fight for a long time, in fact, not only him, Cui Qian has not been in the war for a long time, they can now complete the task of robbery by sitting in the main village, so why bother to work in person. But Cui Wu didn't think so, he felt that robbery was the true nature of pirates, if he didn't rob, then what kind of pirates were he called? Three years in Laozhai made him decadent, his brain slowed down, and his skills became poor, which is why he was exploited by the kid with the bell on the knife.

And now, he needs to go through a big battle to evoke his blood surname.

"Hurry up!" Cui Wu shouted loudly, his feet apart, and stood firmly at the bow of the boat, his fierce gaze across the waves and looking into the distance. The morning sun is rising, illuminating the floating gold on the sea, and making people's eyes shine.

Cui Wu raised his hand to cover his eyes a little unaccustomedly, and once again sighed that he was old.

"Ho-hey! Ho-hey! The sound of the trumpets was majestic and powerful, and the warship was speeding forward under the urging of sixty sailors. Cui Wu was a little depressed, the building ship was majestic, but it was too slow, which seriously affected the speed of the entire fleet. But although he was Cui Qian's uncle, he didn't dare to suggest to Cui Qian to give up the boat, and he could only stuff his stomach if he had opinions.

"There's a boat, there's a boat ahead!" The helmsman suddenly shouted. Cui Wu glanced back at him, and saw that he was holding the rudder with one hand and pointing ahead with the other, and his eyes were wide open, revealing surprise. "A building ship!"

Cui Wu turned his head to look, the sunlight and the reflection of the sea surface were mixed together, very dazzling, making his eyes swollen and painful, and he couldn't see anything, so it was easy for him to get used to this light, and the building boat in the distance was already close.

Many people saw the building ship coming in the distance, a lonely building boat.

Cui Qian stood up from his seat, feeling a little proud. His building ship was a three-story building ship that he had snatched from Bu Qi's hands, and there was only a two-story building ship on the other side, and invisibly, he felt as if he had the upper hand. The other party is not an enemy, but a subordinate who has come to meet him. What can a building do? Is it a surrender?

"Uncle, what do you guess they're here for?" Cui Qian turned his head, and a smile appeared on his face, which had been cloudy for many days.

Cui Wen narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "Either surrender, or come to negotiate peace." It's just too far away to see the flag clearly, and I don't know if it's over the sea. ”

"It should be, Wei Jing's identity can't get on the ship." Cui Qian said with some smugness. In fact, he really guessed wrong, Wei Jing had a two-story building ship in his hand, but he stayed at the cliff gate and didn't bring it over.

They are very relaxed, and the others are also very relaxed, in the face of nearly a thousand large and small warships, a building ship is coming, what else can there be but surrender and negotiate peace? This answer should be obvious, and when you think of the current balance of strength, everyone thinks that this is to be expected.

"Beat the drums and let Uncle Wu ask." Cui Qian waved his hand and said lightly. Cui Wen nodded, ordered someone to beat the drum, and issued a flag. Cui Wu heard the sound of the drum and ordered the helmsman to adjust his direction and sail straight towards the building.

"Later, Lao Tzu will humiliate and humiliate him." Cui Qian sat down on his big couch and said through gritted teeth.

Yue Hai saw the expression on Cui Qian's face, he smiled disdainfully, waved hard, and smashed the clairvoyance in his hand on the railing, the brass lens barrel was deformed, and the glass lens fell out, Yue Hai picked it up, glanced at it regretfully, raised his hand, and the lens drew an arc and threw it far into the sea.

"Are you ready?" He shouted.

"General, it's all ready." Lieutenant Li Nong replied, his voice trembling a little. Yue Hai glanced back at him, and his mouth crooked: "Scared?" ”

"I'm afraid." Li Nong answered honestly. He felt that Yue Hai was crazy, and he wanted to attack 20,000 pirates with a building ship, did he want to learn from Sun Shao? Sun Shao once did this in the East China Sea, but that was something that ordinary people could learn. Besides, how many medium-sized warships did the pirates in the East China Sea have? And there were at least ten medium-sized warships lined up in front of Cui Qian's ship, and this alone dwarfed Zhou Qun, the dragon of the mixed river. But when Yue Hai's order came down, he didn't dare to resist, otherwise he wouldn't die in the hands of pirates, but he would have died in the hands of Yue Hai.

"I'm afraid of hair." Yue Hai scolded: "People die and birds face the sky, and if you become a sailor, you must be prepared to fight to the death with pirates." He turned around and shouted at the soldiers with serious expressions: "Brothers, today we are going to have a great game, rush up and overturn this urging lot, let them see, what is a sailor, let Su Thick-legged pirates see, our Houguan Shipyard sailor, not a fucking coward." ”

As soon as Su Bu Leg was mentioned, the soldiers were angry. Su Thickleg robbed the Houguan Shipyard, which is a shame in their hearts, and now they are under Sun Shao's subordinates, and Su Thicklegs' subordinates often humiliate them with this, which makes them rub their fire for a long time.

"Fuck it, don't care if it's the king of pirates in the East China Sea, or the king of pirates in the South China Sea, it's all done." A stout marquis raised his sword and shouted.

"him." The other marquis, who was in charge of the Thunderbolt Cannon, blushed and stomped his feet and screamed.

"Damn, watch Lao Tzu shoot him into a toothpick later."

Yue Hai was very satisfied, he glanced at Li Nong, and shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, we will rush directly to the front of Cui Qian's ship, listen to my orders, whether it is a strong crossbow, a thunderbolt, or a shooting rod, all of them will greet me vigorously, and strive to kill the urgency sign at once, and the remaining pirates will not be enough to eat fart after them." ”

"Okay, just listen to the general." Li Nong also came to the end. So far, there is only this hope, if they can kill the urging sign at once, and when the pirates don't come back to their senses, maybe they can still rush out.

Yue Hai turned a deaf ear, he stared at the pirate ship that rushed out of the fleet, and raised his hand. The sailors were engrossed, the drummers stared at him tightly, the crossbowmen and artillery players were in their positions, and they stared at Cui Qian's ship in the distance through Wangshan.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps.

Yue Hai waved his hand and shouted: "Set sail, speed up!" ”

The drummer, who had been prepared for a long time, beat the war drum violently, and the passionate drum beat into the sky, and dozens of strong soldiers at the same time exerted force, quickly raising the originally half-hung sail to the top, and at the same time, the four hundred sailors below the deck shouted in unison, urging the warship with all their might. A violent sound of water sounded, and the rolling white waves rolled behind the boat, and the building boat suddenly increased its speed like a wild horse out of the border, and it became faster and faster, rushing straight towards Cui Wu's warship.

The triumphant Cui Wu was taken aback, and looked at the oncoming Lou Boat in a daze, this ...... Is this a building ship?

Before he could react, the boat had rushed to him with an unstoppable might, slammed into his bow, a violent shaking came, Cui Wu turned over and fell into the water, the bow he was standing on was smashed by the boat, and then pressed into the water, the stern of the boat was warped, revealing the long rudder plate behind, the helmsman was shocked, flew from the stern to the bow, hit the boat gang of the boat, let out a scream, and then fell into the water. The sailors screamed in horror, watching the warship being knocked over by the ship, but there was nothing they could do, one by one waving their hands in vain, they fell into the water, and the soldiers who were ready to fight with weapons in their hands were about the same, and they fell into the sea without any time to react.

But Lou Chuan ignored all this at all, and with an indomitable murderous aura, it quickly approached Cui Qian's Lou Boat.

Cui Qian stood up violently, looking at the building ship rushing over in horror, he was stunned by the speed of the building ship, is this a building ship? This speed is almost the same as walking a boat, and a huge building ship can be so fast?

"Be careful, this is for us." Cui Wen was the first to react and shouted loudly.

Cui Qian also reacted, he shouted, "Order the frigate to come forward and intercept him!" ”

The fighting ship in charge of guarding did not wait for Cui Qian's order, and had already taken action subconsciously, and more than a dozen fighting ships turned around one after another and rushed towards the building boat, intending to block the front of the building ship to prevent him from colliding with Cui Qian's building boat. They all saw that the people on this building ship were crazy, they didn't come to surrender, they didn't come to negotiate peace, they didn't come to fight, they came to kill, and before they committed suicide, they wanted to drag Cui Qian into the water.

"Bah-" A bucket ship crashed into the front left side of the ship. The boat shook for a moment, deflecting slightly, but still lunging forward, and then crashed into the second one.

"Accelerate!" Yue Hai's face was hideous, and he pulled out his sword from the sheath with a "poof" and held it high above the top, and the snow-bright blade glittered in the sun.

The drums beat loudly and urgently, like fried beans.

Although the sailors in the bilge could not see the situation outside, they could feel the vibration caused by the collision, and they did not care about it, but exerted all their strength, shouted in unison, and turned the crank in their hands faster.

The speed of the building boat did not decrease, and it continued to rush forward, quickly approaching Cui Qian.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps...... "Phew!" "Phew!" Two more fighting ships collided with the front right side of the building boat, the building boat shook violently, the direction was a little deviated, and the sea stared at Cui Qian's boat not far away, and calmly gave an order: "Turn left for three minutes." ”

"Turn left for three minutes—" Li Nong hissed.

"Turn left for three points!" Shi Chang, who was in charge of the tail rudder, responded loudly, and ten soldiers pushed the giant rudder, and the building boat adjusted its direction again in the hurry, and turned the bow back to Cui Qian's building boat.

"Fucking crazy?" Cui Qian gasped rapidly, looking at everything in front of him, he felt a little incredible. How dare a building ship challenge 20,000 pirates? Aren't the sailors under Sun Shao officers and soldiers, how can they fight more than pirates?

"Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! Cui Wen didn't bother to answer his question and yelled loudly. The helmsmen shouted in unison and pulled the rudder hard, but the speed of their building ship was far from being compared with the suicidal building ship, and although the bow of the ship slowly adjusted its speed, it still could not get rid of the danger of being hit.

"Rush up and stop him!" Cui Wen lay on the railing, yelling at the pirates who were in chaos next to him, and his usual appearance was gone. The pirates were holding on to the boats, trying to get closer to the sea, but the incident happened suddenly, and it was a mess for a while, and it was the dozens of ships that could really grasp their own direction, most of which not only could not come forward to stop them, but were overturned by the building ships that were adjusting the direction, and one pirate after another fell into the water, and the sound of "plopping" was endless.

"Phew!" "Phew!" Several more fighting ships crashed into the building ship one after another, although the building ship was still moving rapidly, but the speed was inevitably affected, and it could no longer run as wildly as it began. As soon as the speed slowed, the impact force was greatly reduced, and after knocking over five fighting ships in succession, the sixth fighting ship only let out a violent shaking, and finally stabilized its footing and avoided the doom of rolling over.

"The helmsman turns right for seven minutes, the sailor accelerates, the thunderbolts, the crossbows, the slap rods are ready—" The overhead knife roared.

"Turn right for seven minutes—" The helmsmen pulled the rudder.

"Accelerate—" The sailors gritted their teeth and held their breath.

"Ready to fire—" The gunners, crossbowmen, and tappers tightened their grips on the triggers.

The ship exerted its strength again, like a giant plow, ploughing away the pirates crowded in front of them, and rushed forward with perseverance.

Thirty steps! Twenty steps! Fifteen steps!

When the building boat rushed fifteen steps away from Cui Qian's building boat, the speed was finally exhausted, and the several pirate ships crowded between them also blocked them. Cui Qian's building boat was also turning with all its might, and when the distance between them was reduced to about ten steps, it could no longer be reduced by one point, but had a tendency to increase slowly. And the archers on Cui Qianlou's ship also pulled their bows forward like crazy to prevent them from getting closer, and the dense rain of arrows shot so that the soldiers could only hide behind the wooden female wall.

Yue Hai sighed regretfully, it would be nice if he could go a little further, this distance is not good for the racket, the iron ball on the rod can hit it, but the rod itself cannot be attacked, and the power is greatly reduced. But Yue Hai also knew that this result was already the best that could be obtained, so he didn't say a word and gave the order that he had already prepared.

"Left full rudder, launch!"

"Launch!" At the sound of an order, the three powerful crossbows and four thunderbolts in the bow of the ship let out an angry roar, and three spear-like crossbow arrows and four stone balls the size of a human head flew over a distance of fifteen paces in a blink of an eye, smashing into the same target: the command cabin, the flying house on the top floor.

"Click!" Click! "Click!" The three giant arrows pierced the deck of the flying house almost at the same time, a distance of fifteen paces, almost without any loss of speed, and the sharp arrows shot through the deck like piercing paper, and then penetrated another deck before stopping. The two pirates in the cabin didn't even have a chance to react before they were shot through by a giant arrow.

"Boom!" Four thunderbolt stones smashed into the flying house that had just been pierced by the giant arrow, and the cabin of the flying house made a loud noise, and the sawdust flew away, and it disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, a hundred archers hiding behind the female wall shot a dense rain of arrows, covering the direction of the Feilu, and the newly shattered Feilu immediately grew a dense layer of feathers.

As soon as Cui Qian saw the black shadow flying up from the ship, he felt that something was wrong, he didn't say a word, he jumped off the flying house directly, just landed, and before he had time to stand up, he heard a loud noise overhead, and looked up again, the flying house that was originally richly decorated by him had become a pile of rotten wood.

"Uncle Wen—" Cui Qian exclaimed urgently.

Before he heard Cui Wen's answer, there was an ugly sound next to him, he was shocked, rushed to the side to take a look, the stern of the suicidal building boat slowly turned around, and now the two building ships are parallel to each other, but the head and tail are different, he looked at the heavily armed general on the opposite Feilu, hated so much that the root of his teeth itched, and shouted: "Shoot him!" ”

Several pirates drew their bows and arrows and fired angry arrows at Yue Hai. The guards around Yue Hai immediately stepped forward and erected a shield wall in front of Yue Hai. Without waiting for Cui Qian to see the result, the pirates next to him raised their heads and exclaimed.

"Jianzhong, run." Cui Wen rushed out of nowhere and pushed Cui Qian away.

"Whew-boom!" A few wind whistles, three iron balls smashed on the deck on the left side of the ship, and then disappeared, there were three more black holes on the deck that had just been painted by Cui Qian, and there were terrified screams from below the deck, which were made by the injured sailors.

Cui Qian's ears were buzzing, just now an iron ball was only two steps away from his head, if it wasn't for Cui Wen pushing him away, he might have been smashed in the middle, but despite this, the sharp shock from the iron ball when it hit the deck still shook his ears, and two flying sawdust pierced his cheek, but he didn't feel a little pain.

"Let's go!" Cui Wen, whose face was covered in blood, pounced again, dragged Cui Qian across the gangway on the right side, turned over and jumped into the water. No sooner had they jumped out than a rain of arrows landed where they had just stood, and a dozen dumbfounded pirates were shot on the spot.

"Accelerate, accelerate, go!" Looking at the messy building ship, Yue Hai shouted loudly, he didn't know if Cui Qian was killed in Feilu, but this punch had already used all the killing moves he had prepared, and if he didn't leave, he would be surrounded by pirates, and at that time, even if he could fight, he would be torn to pieces.

"Accelerate!" The sailors exerted their strength again, and the boat slowly started and left the disabled Cui Qianzao ship. The archers kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows, picking on the helmsmen and sailors of the oncoming pirate ships, and the crossbows and thunderbolts roared from time to time, sinking one pirate ship after another. Six slapsticks rose and fell, knocking one pirate ship after another to pieces.

During this time, more and more pirate ships surrounded them, and they used large and small boats to hold the ship to the death, preventing him from moving forward, and the ship seemed to be struggling, like a bison surrounded by wolves, although it struggled hard, it was still difficult to escape from the encirclement.

Cui Qian was rescued on a fighting ship, his eyes were green with anger, and he ordered his battle flag to be raised, directing the pirates to surround Yuehai. If he doesn't kill Yue Hai today, he won't mess around in the South China Sea in the future. A huge team of nearly a thousand ships, but was almost killed by a building ship, if this is spread out, what kind of urging him Cui Qian is to be killed?

"Kill him, a thousand gold." Cui Qian screamed wildly and issued a heavy reward. The pirates saw that his ship was smashed by the officers and soldiers, and originally thought that he had been killed, and their morale was a little low, but now they saw that he was safe and sound, and they were already very excited.

"Damn, hit me, the crossbow and thunderbolt on the port side, leave no one else, hit that kid hard for me, and kill him." Seeing that Cui Qian was not dead, Yue Hai was extremely angry, and his surname attacked, and he gave the final order regardless of it.

"Whoosh!" With a sharp roar, a huge arrow shot towards Cui Qian.
