Chapter 520: Chasing Kou

"Rest assured, folks! I, Da Chu, must seek justice for everyone, and this general will go after that Haikou Kou! Ling Tong comforted the Baekje tribe in front of him, and at the same time organized a fleet to go west to chase after the Haikou who had plundered this place not long ago, and even plundered many people.

Baekje is a tribal state established by the Buyeong people who went south in the middle of the Fried Seafood Peninsula and south of Obibang County in Youju.

It is called a country, but it is similar to the Chinese kingdoms in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the "savages" outside the city are still a tribal system.

Moreover, Baekje was founded by Buyeo, and the aristocratic class as the ruler was almost all Buyeo, while the people at the bottom were Koreans who were born and raised in the south of the seafood peninsula......

Therefore, when it was plundered by powerful pirates, Baekje's unintentional reaction was expected.

It was originally an almost servile rule, and now there are robbers who come to rob their "slaves", but ...... Since the robbers are too strong, why should they sacrifice their own strength to fight for the sake of the object of enslavement?

After Baekje received the power of the Haikou, he became numb to the suffering of the low-level Koreans, and even many of the nobles themselves had secret deals with the Haikou.

And the Baekje nobles don't care, and the Yanhou who usually acts as a prestige on the head of Baekje doesn't care—the bottom line of the Gongsun clan is that Haikou can't come to the Obifang County Hu that he rules.

However, for these low-level Koreans, relying on the sea to eat the sea is their way of life, even if they know that there are Haikou Kou, it is not that they can move away, let alone take refuge in Daifang County.

In contrast, on the contrary, the navy of Chu would do some patrols from time to time, and would try to rescue the robbers or the ships with slaves.

In particular, there are various wild troupes lurking in the folk with rhythm, promoting the merits of Da Chu, and one point can be blown into ten!

And because the Chu State has no direct stake in Baekje and Samhan, they are also very moved by the behavior of the Light of the Righteous Path of the Chu State and the wild people who have little culture at the bottom of the Seafood Peninsula.

Even some people of insight began to gradually accept the rhetoric advocated by the "Enlightenment Department" - only Chu Xue can save the fried seafood peninsula.

Of course, "blowing" also has to be able to "blow" something, the Chu Navy is indeed in the Bohai Sea, has done a lot of things, sinking in the Bohai Sea countless pirates, most of which are the credit of the Chu navy, which greatly extinguished the popularity of the pirates and increased the cost of the pirates!

Let them know that buying and selling without capital is not really without capital.

And now, Ling Tong personally led a fleet of nearly 2,000 navies, consisting of two main ships, more than a dozen frigates, and various auxiliary warships, to pursue a group of notorious sea cowards "one-eyed sharks......

After collecting clues and pacifying the newly looted Baekje tribe in this place, Ling Tong left some dry food, and then set sail again in the local Han people's bowing and thanking them.

For the battle, Ling Tong was not worried, he was just afraid that the other party would escape again!

However, if the time is calculated, Ling Tong feels that he can completely catch up with this notorious Haikou this time.

This time, the "one-eyed shark", as one of the strongest pirate groups on the Bohai Sea, with a total number of more than 5,000 people, dispatched most of the main force this time to "hunt" in the southern part of the seafood peninsula, and was informed by the Chu navy.

The "number" of naval battles is more about the ships than the number of people......

Ling Tong only brought less than 2,000 navies, but two main ships with "ten-ox ballistas" and a dozen frigates with "five-ox bed crossbows" were enough to defeat the one-eyed shark.

After all, the entire one-eyed shark Haikou fleet only has one main ship, equipped with a "yellow dragon car".

As for the others, most of them are small armed boats, ranging from dozens to hundreds, which seem to be bluffing, but in fact, they lack decisive long-range weapons that can play a role in heavyweight naval battles, and Ling Tong does not pay attention to them at all.

And the "Yellow Dragon Car" ...... Every time Ling Tong thought about this, he was resentful of the Wei State, and he was looking forward to the time when the Haikou and the Wei Navy would be destroyed soon.

Although the main ships of each Haikou have their own modifications, how could Ling Tong not see it? It is clear that they are all modifications of the "Yellow Dragon Ship" produced by the Wei State Craftsman Battalion as the prototype!

The Huanglong Ship is the result of the imitation and improvement of the main ship of the Chu State, except for some details, the most significant difference is that the Huanglong Ship is more equipped with "Huanglong car......

It is also clearly an improvement of the "white bus"!

Compared with the giant crossbow of the Chu navy, the two sides can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The Greatbow has a longer range, and the Arrows are more portable than Stone Bullets, and have a strong piercing power, but they are less destructive to ships.

The improved version of the "Yellow Dragon Car", on the contrary, has a cumbersome stone projectile, a shorter range than a giant crossbow, and is a projectile attack, but if it hits the deck or the hull position, it will cause more damage to the ship.

At this time, Chu Guochun's pure organ-like ordnance had basically been learned, although there were differences, but Ma Jun also made his own improvements......

Ling Tong estimated the route of the other party's return, and after chasing for a day, the reconnaissance ship finally sent back the news that it had discovered the fleet of one-eyed sharks!

Then Ling Tong gave another order, corrected the course, and chased in the direction where the one-eyed shark was found.

The speed of the Huanglong ship is not slower than the standard main ship of the Chu State, after all, it is still sail power, although it is ...... The design of the car and ship is a bit cumbersome, but now Ma Jun has begun to use the "wheel" as an auxiliary device when steering, and make it as small as possible, which is not too much of a drag, but also meets the requirements put forward by the princes of the DPRK and China.

The reason why Ling Tong was able to catch up was because the speed of the other party was dragged down by those "miscellaneous boats" - after all, the speed of the fleet was determined by the slowest ship.

However...... Just when Ling Tong felt that he could take the one-eyed shark's Kou Qi back to collect, he suddenly looked at the sentry on the tower and shouted, "General! Ten degrees south-east, there is a detachment of one-eyed sharks! ”

"Oh? Could it be that I can ...... them all this time."

Ling Tong had just spoken, and before he could finish loading this "beep", he heard ......

"Due south, there is a fleet of one-eyed sharks...... Discover the main ship! ”

"Seven degrees east-north, the one-eyed shark main ship was found!"

The successive reports made Ling Tong's heart tighten—where did the one-eyed shark get so many main ships? It's not scientific.

"General, the fleet to the south seems to be the fleet of the White Shark Pirates...... It's just the banner of the one-eyed shark! "A lieutenant who had fought with the White Shark Pirate recognized the true identity of one of them.

"Not good! Those big sea cowards seem to have joined forces to lure us over! ”

"Don't panic, look at the banner to meet the enemy!"
