Chapter 177: The Plague of the White Snake
For more than ten days, the Black Tiger Army did not go to sea to plunder again, and Xiao Hei temporarily put all his energy on the training of 300 newcomers and the management of White Snake Village.
In order to make life better for the villagers! Xiao Hei has built a new house in the village! In the past few days, new houses have been built one by one, and various living facilities have begun to be gradually improved. The common people laughed! Xiao Hei is really a good person! They were sent from heaven to save them. They were very grateful to Xiao Hei in their hearts.
Blackie trains recruits and selects newcomers. He brought the selected newcomers to the ship and asked the old boatmen to familiarize them with the ship's operations. Xiao Hei does this, and there is another benefit. It's just that these recruits can learn a lot from these old boatmen. For example, how the old boatmen were not afraid of danger during the battle, and how they controlled the boat, these experiences are very important. Because the old boatmen have been at sea all the year round, they have a lot of experience and knowledge.
Sima Chong watched these recruits get better and better under Xiao Hei's training! I couldn't help but admire my boss, most of these newly captured prisoners were farmers, and they were not very familiar with the operation of ships and life at sea, and some of them were even seasick and dizzy, he thought that it would take at least a month or two to train these people successfully! However, what I didn't expect was that Xiao Hei did it in more than ten days! It's impressive.
Xiao Hei was very satisfied to see that his recruits had taken shape so quickly! Hmph, since you brought these people here to join the gang, you have to take them with you! Xiao Hei doesn't treat them like cannon fodder. Although they were once captives, they joined the Black Tiger Army. Xiao Hei will definitely not ignore their life and death and let them die. Therefore, Xiao Hei stopped going to sea to hijack ships. Instead, focus on training them.
These newcomers used to live a life of wandering around hungry and full. Since joining the Black Tiger Army, I have not only eaten fragrant rice every day, but also eaten with big fish and meat! It's so cool. If you think about it, I was still worried about food and clothing, but I suddenly came to a well-off life, and happiness came too suddenly. It's a paradise and a hell.
Seeing that the day was approaching the end of September, Xiao Hei finally took the boat out to sea again and began a new round of safari operations. Xiao Hei and the others chose the target area on the sea in the southern part of Thor's Island, because there was a master shipwright that Xiao Hei dreamed of. Moreover, Thor Island is a necessary place for north-south merchant ships to lead to Dragon City, and there are more ships passing by, so the chance of finding a target is relatively large.
Sima Chong inquired from elsewhere that many pirates around have chosen the target area in the area of Thor Island, which is a hunting ground for pirates all year round, of course, if you go further south, to the west side of Golden Demon Island, the harvest may be better, but at the moment it is the area of influence of the Golden Wolf Pirates, and a small pirate group like Xiao Hei is not yet capable of fighting against the giant Golden Wolf, so Xiao Hei They can only choose a small sea area that is slightly farther away from the Golden Demon Island, Thor Island, as their hunting location.
These novices who went to sea for the first time began to look nervous and a little excited after leaving White Snake Village. This made the veterans who had already gone to sea many times to despise their performance. Hehe, but many people have forgotten that when they came out for the first time, they may have been worse off than these guys, but in short, now they have called themselves veterans and have begun to become arrogant.
But for Xiao Hei, his confidence in coming out this time is also a lot full, after all, this time, he brought more than 400 people, even if 300 are some newcomers, but the strength is still several times stronger than before.
At present, there are 7 cannons on the ship of Xiao Hei's Black Tiger, and this equipment is almost catching up with the equipment of the navy. What makes Xiao Hei even more confident is that this time, he has formed a death squad! The number of this death squad is almost 20 people! Their main task is that once the two sides are in motion, they must be able to rush to the front and lead the charge! Against the average merchant ship, this force is absolutely devastating. Think about it, more than 20 people rushed over at once, how terrifying this momentum is. This greatly increased the chances of success for Xiao Hei and their hijacking.
This time, Xiao Hei is confident! With confidence, he took the boat straight to the vicinity of Thor Island for a safari and began a three-day cruise.
For the first two days they didn't seem to be lucky, not a single boat worthy or suitable to start with, only one or two boats that ordinary fishermen were fishing in.
After Xiao Hei and the others caught up, the other party directly announced their surrender, and without any resistance, they let them board the ship and search. In addition to finding some harpoons and dozens of large fish, they were left empty-handed, so they had to let go of the fishing boat and let them go.
This result made the newcomers on the ship very discouraged, and the first time they went to sea, they encountered these useless fish boats, which made their passion instantly halved. In order to boost everyone's morale, Xiao Hei brought so many newcomers, which made them feel cold. As a last resort, we can only continue to cruise in the sea, looking for the next target.
On the third day, Xiao Hei and their luck came, they found two boats on the sea at the same time, one of which seemed to be in a state of heavy load, so Xiao Hei immediately chose this heavy ship to start.
After some chase, Xiao Hei and the others easily grabbed the boat, but they didn't expect that after boarding the boat and controlling the boat, they were disappointed, it turned out that the boat was actually a ship transporting stones.
Apart from the stones, there was only a little grain brought by the ship and a small amount of loose cargo, which was not worth much. The gold coins are even more pitiful, only 1000 gold coins. Oh yes, that's not enough, and they're stuffed between their teeth. This result disappointed everyone, knowing that they chose the wrong target this time, but they heard the boatman on the boat say that the other boat that they let go was loaded with a lot of pearl agate and hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but Xiao Hei They looked away, and they actually chose this boat loaded with stones, and Xiao Hei was angry and spit out three mouthfuls of blood. My bills just flew away.
Xiao Hei looked at the stones of this boat and sighed helplessly! Now they can only consider themselves unlucky, who calls them unlucky! In fact, in the final analysis, it is still inexperienced, otherwise it would not only look at the load of the ship, but ignore the goods that may be loaded on the ship. Although this boatload of stones is not worth much, isn't it the house that is being built in your own village? For Xiao Hei and them, this stone is a much-needed material, and if he wants to carry forward the White Snake Village, the first step is to let his people have a new house to live in. Although, now they are not short of these stones, but what about the future? Xiao Hei and they have to operate in White Snake Village for a long time, and they can't do anything without these stones.
So Xiao Hei ordered all the boatmen on the boat to be tied up, and they were all thrown directly into the cabin, locked up, and let the boatmen on his ship come over, replace them, and drive back to his White Snake Village.
Xiao Hei, they are really hungry. Not even the stone boats. Although this trip is very good, there is nothing to gain. But there was one more ship. And it didn't take much effort, and let these newcomers practice their courage, so the results were not bad this time.
But there were unforeseen circumstances, and just when Xiao Hei and the others were about to drive back to White Snake Village, they saw a thick smoke appear in the sky above the direction of White Snake Village from a distance, and the person in charge of the lookout on the lookout suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no! Our village is on fire! ”
Xiao Hei and everyone suddenly tightened in their hearts and rushed to the bow of the boat......
"Tell the second master, let them speed up and move forward as fast as possible! Black Tiger, let's rush back first! Get ready, everybody! Someone will bring the cannon out for me, and everyone will copy the guy for Lao Tzu! Death squads, I'll hack them to death as soon as I get off the boat. Xiao Hei stood at the bow of the boat, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the White Snake Village, and also saw a cloud of smoke in the sky above the location of the White Snake Village, it was obvious that something was ignited, otherwise there would not be such a big smoke in the sky above the village.
But because they are still far away from White Snake Village, they can't see White Snake Village yet, so they can't tell what happened to White Snake Village, but it's definitely not a good thing.
Blackie is nervous to death now. This time he went out on a safari and brought out more than 400 people, only a few black tiger wounded soldiers were left in the village to defend there, and there were only a few wounded soldiers in his own village. If the village is attacked by other people, I am afraid that my own people will be more than lucky.
Everyone on the ship was nervous at this moment, and even the new recruits couldn't help but start worrying, this was their home! After living there for 10 days, I enjoyed happiness that I had never experienced before. After each training, the villagers and elders will bring them hot rice porridge, as well as that kind greeting and care. "Baby! You've done a great job! "A baby, how kind the baby is. But now, these lovely folks are being bullied, which makes them eager to rush back and help them immediately. His family was beaten, and everyone felt very uncomfortable.
Xiao Hei ordered the boat to drive its horsepower to 20 knots and sail back to White Snake Village at full speed.
The speed of the ship increased a little after it had risen to 20 knots, and the wind on the surface of the sea was more suitable, so that their bow began to break the waves, leaving a wide white trail in the stern.
But Xiao Hei is still very dissatisfied with this speed, he wants to be faster, faster! 100,000 urgent! However, your own boat can only reach this speed, and it is not possible to go any faster. For the first time, the little black felt that his ship was slowing down. In the past, when Xiao Hei went out to hijack ships, he chased others all over the world. At that time, how proud and proud I was of the speed of my ship.
Zhang Ruoming was as anxious as Xiao Hei at this time, he asked the Black Wolf to speed up and follow Xiao Hei! Zhang Ruoming's boat speed can only reach a maximum of 15 knots. However, Zhang Ruoming was very smart and installed a sail on the ship. The sail is pushed by the wind, which increases the speed of the boat by 2 knots. Zhang Ruoming's Black Wolf always maintained the best speed of the ship and moved forward. Zhang Ruoming kept drinking and ordered the boatmen on his boat to adjust the wind angle of the sails so that his speed would not be reduced.
"The fire in the village is so big! We've got several houses on fire! The person in charge of the lookout on the lookout tower could already see the situation in White Snake Village from a high place at this time, and while looking nervously towards the village, he loudly reported the situation to everyone on the boat.
The hearts of the people sank even more, if it was just one place on fire, they could also think that the people of the village accidentally set fire to a house, but the people above said that there were several houses, all of which were set on fire, so things were even less optimistic.
Xiao Hei's face was gloomy as if it was going to rain, he pursed his lips tightly, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and said nothing. At this time, he didn't have to give the order to speed up, his own boatmen would also increase the boat to the fastest speed, even if he was in a hurry, it was impossible for him to fly back to White Snake Village with wings.
Xiao Hei silently prayed in his heart for the people on the island, hoping that they would not be killed at this time, and that the villagers would have good fortune.
What he has to do right now is to calm down and calm down, if even he is messed up, then once something happens in a while, it is estimated that everyone will be even more chaotic.
"Heartless! Get the death squad ready! Later, once they arrived at the docks, they would go up to check the situation. Then the order was given to the advance of the large forces. Without my orders, the troops are not allowed to act on their own! Do you understand? Xiao Hei shouted.
"Understood!" Wuxin immediately hurriedly agreed, and immediately beckoned the death squads to start checking their equipment and weapons, and ran to the squadrons to give Xiao Hei's order to the squadron leader. The squadron leader then gives the order to his own squad leader. The squad leader gives orders to his men. Xiao Hei's order was completely passed on to everyone!
After Xiao Hei had Sima Chong, his courage also increased. Begin to learn the methods of the Earth and form your own Black Tiger Pirates into a group army. Due to the limited number of people now. So he had to divide his team into two brigades, one with four squadrons. 8 squadrons! There are five squads in one squadron. In this way, Xiao Hei has a total of 40 squads! A squadron of fifty people, a squad of 10 people.
"Sima Chong, are our cannons ready?" Xiao Hei asked Sima Chong beside him.
"Lord Qi, the cannons are ready. Guaranteed to beat them up! Sima Chong put his hands together and replied loudly.
"Always be ready to attack! Listen to my greeting for a while, and when I let it go, I hit it hard! ”
Xiao Hei continued to stand on the bow of the boat, looking towards the location of the White Snake Village, at this time, he could also see the White Snake Village, and he could clearly see the fire coming out of the village.
He could only pray to himself that the wounded soldiers would hold out with the islanders for a while, and wait for them to return to the village.
"Big boss! There's a boat on the pier! There was a red hat flag flying on the ship! It's the Red Riding Hoods who are fighting our village! Shangdou shouted again on the mast.
"Red Hat"? A familiar figure immediately appeared in Yu Xiaotian's mind, that person was the red hat who was drinking with himself in the bar! Is it really him? I hope it's not him, or else! I'm going to kill him.
At this time, there was a roar on the dock, which came from afar, and it could basically be concluded that it was the sound of cannons, and everyone's hearts trembled again, and they were even more worried.
As they got closer and closer to the dock, Xiao Hei saw the boat with the red hat flag parked at the pier, and the other party had obviously seen them at this time and opened fire on them!
Xiao Hei pointed his finger at the boat and shouted, "Shoot me a cannon!" Call me! Hit hard"
The recruits are even more angry than Xiao Hei at this time, they finally have a home, and before a few days have passed, someone actually came to raid their nest first. It's tolerable, it's unbearable.
On the sea, if there are no pirates with deep grudges, they will never raid other people's homes. English is absolutely out of order. There are rules on the sea. Once I did such a unconscionable thing! It will definitely be hated by other peers! In the past, there was a group of pirates called Lynx. Specially take advantage of the fact that other pirates are not at home! Serve their nest! This pirate group has never been notorious! Originally, it was enough to do it once. However, this group of pirates seems to have gone into hiding. Out of control. The nest of more than a dozen pirates! All of a sudden, it provoked the anger of the public! He was destroyed by the cooperation of the pirates.
It seems that this red hat and the lynx are the same thing. Obviously, I saw that they were not in the village, and wanted to take the opportunity to come here to make a profit, but things were not done cleanly enough, and I didn't expect them to catch up when they returned.
So now the Liangzi is considered to be a big one, no matter whether they succeed or not, these two pirates will become mortal enemies from now on.
The other party realizes that something is wrong! The people on the shore hurriedly withdrew to their boats, trying to slip away as soon as possible.
Seeing that they wanted to withdraw at this time, not to mention that Xiao Hei didn't agree, and Zhang Ruoming, who arrived later, didn't agree at this time, and the Black Wolf blocked the intersection of White Snake Village and other waterways. This is double insurance, lest this red hat break through the blockade of the Black Tiger and escape. It's not that Zhang Ruoming doesn't trust Xiao Hei, but everything has a case. What if this red hat is lucky, goes shit luck, and rushes out from Xiao Hei! Wouldn't that be cheaper for him?
Let them go back? Will you pay it back after that? When you go out to hunt by yourself, you have to worry about whether your hometown has been raided.
They must not be spared today! Xiao Hei's eyes were on fire, staring at the pirates with red hats! Damn it, don't even think about leaving any of you today! Lao Tzu will kill you. Dare to raid my little black's house! I'm getting tired of life. Oh no! The people on the shore hurriedly withdrew to their boats, trying to slip away as soon as possible.
