Chapter Seventy-Two: The New Mercury

The reason why Gangzi had to repair the ship in Qinbian Port was to use the Sea Monster to attract the attention of Goryeo players to cover the Bangma to rush supplies.

Sure enough, in the face of the temptation of "superb equipment", the horse that can retreat into the sea at any time is extremely "chicken ribs". Although the threat of robbing the warehouse is greater for Qinbian Town, and Qinbian Town has also issued a task to support the warehouse and offered a lot of rewards, but for players who only have brigs in their eyes, gold, experience, and feats are all floating clouds, as long as you step on shit luck, those things are not as much as you want!

The Kraken has always been committed to attracting firepower, and this time it was also done well, but the cooperation of the Goryeo players surprised Gangzi, and the dense naval artillery blockade could not stop the player's charge, and they actually attacked the ship under the Kraken with a single charge. Looking at the players who climbed up like ants on the wall of the ship, there was a look of longing for the future in their eyes, where did Gangzi dare to put on a fork, and immediately gave Liang Hong an order to run.

The Sea Lion is connected to the same cable as the Sea Monster, but the cable is sunk under the water just to hide from people's eyes. Liang Hong, who was directing the opening of the cannon, received the order to immediately raise the sails, and then the captain's skill: to ride the wind and waves, and work together with the seal, watching the sea monster quickly retreat and be pulled into the deep water. Without the addition of the players behind them, players who are hanging from the rope and climbing up are no longer able to pose a threat to the Kraken. After the other warships cooperated to eliminate the remaining Goryeo players, the Black Sail Pirate fleet joined the Bangma and sailed for the deep sea.

After replenishing the ammunition, Gangzi, who was originally weak-hearted, swelled up again, and said to Li Youtai Liangshan-style fist beside him: "Thanks to the help of my brother these days, it is my brother who has made a great contribution to completing the supply this time, and I thank you here, brother." ”

Li Youtai was also infected and hugged his fists and said: "I have been receiving teachings by my eldest brother's side for the past few days, and I only know how much I used to be a frog at the bottom of the well, with such a fleet, this ocean will be the world of the eldest brother in the future, I have now decided to mix with the eldest brother in the future, and the eldest brother's business is the younger brother's business. ”

"Waha......" Gangzi laughed in his heart, and the feeling of accepting the little brother was happy.

After fighting with the Fusang Navy, the Fusang people who are not willing to fail will definitely continue to attack, the current situation of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet is no longer suitable for another high-intensity battle, and returning to Black Sail Island to rest is the most important thing, Gangzi decided to return now.

Li Youtai definitely can't be taken away because of nationality issues, but it's really a waste to give up such a diligent and reliable foreign aid like this, Fusanghai will definitely come again in the future, if there is a safe supply point, it will be much easier, otherwise every time you fight a large-scale naval battle, you will have to go back to Heifan Island to recuperate, and it will be a little more than worth the loss to waste time on the way back and forth.

Since he wants to make a difference in Fusang Hai in the future, it is inevitable to cultivate a pro-Heifan pirate force, and Li Youtai has also developed from a leading party to a quasi-ally in Gangzi's mind.

As for treating Li Youtai as a younger brother? Gangzi believes that if he has always maintained a strong strength, and at the same time let Li Youtai get certain benefits, I believe that he will not easily get off his own warship to do betrayal that harms others and himself.

"I'm going back," Tsuyoko said in a melancholy tone, "but I'll come back, your Mercury was sunk to cover me, you told me by your actions that you were a friend you could trust, you earned my trust, the support you won from the Black Sail Pirates, did you see that brig?" That's the new Mercury I've got for you, it's yours from now on, you can always buy guns and ships from me that don't need to be registered with the Navy, and the next time I come back from Dahan, I want you to have your own pirate fleet and a safe supply point, and then tell us to give the Fuso a little color. ”

Looking at the battleship pointed by Gangzi, Li Youtai could only nod his head with fanatical eyes. The last Mercury Li Youtai was ordered to be in danger, and was sunk into the sea before he had a good experience, and in retrospect it was like a dream, no matter how he recalled, it didn't feel real, this time another brig was placed in front of him, no enemy ships approaching, no artillery shooting, no big brother kicking his ass in the back, and some time to play carefully.

Li Youtai's brain was temporarily suspended, and Gangzi coughed and reminded on the side: "Of course, we are still in an employment relationship, the ownership of the Mercury is mine, and the right to use it belongs to you, when you have a fleet that is enough for me to face seriously, I will give you the ownership of the Mercury for free, so come on!" ”

Li Youtai nodded again and again in agreement: "Big brother, don't worry, junior brother, the pirate group to which I belong is in an unstable period, with such a powerful warship, I can completely pull out part of my strength to form a new star pirate group, and when the time comes, I will have a good relationship with the major guilds in Goryeo, so that I will have a certain range of safety zones in the Fusang Sea, and then specifically attack Fusang merchant ships, and at the same time establish my own safe navigation and collect tolls, I believe that it will not be long before I can build a safe enough rest and recuperation base for my eldest brother." ”

For Li Youtai's plan, Gangzi was quite satisfied, and explained the help he could to Li Youtai in detail, and the two separated, Gangzi led the Black Sail Pirate Fleet southward to prepare to leave the Tsushima Strait and return to Black Sail Island, Li Youtai went north to find a slightly cleaner and perfect port to overhaul the Mercury.

About Li Youtai's new Mercury, we have to start from the end of the battle with the Fuso Navy.

The Black Sail Pirate Fleet and the Fuso Naval Fleet went their separate ways, and Gangzi ordered the fleet to go west first and then turn south, originally with the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish.

The Kawakami Koharu, whose mast was broken, refused to enter the battlefield under the pretext that the mast was damaged during the fierce battle of the fleet, and when the mast was replaced, he also grinded and chirped as much as possible to delay, and he planned to lay the foundation for victory and grab the greatest battle in one fell swoop when the battle between the two sides entered the white-hot and the victory or defeat shifted to his side.

But he didn't expect that his approach of "dead friends don't die poor" and "I will take the benefits of the black cauldron" has long been dissatisfied with his colleagues, and this time it was because he did not resolutely implement the order, which directly affected the battle situation, and a good war of annihilation was fought into a war of attrition, so that Tanabe Shunsuke had to declare a truce to maintain his strength.

So Tanabe Shunsuke also played a thought when retreating: "According to the regulations, this time is enough for you to change the two masts of the battleship, my fleet is unable to cope with the battle due to the large number of soldiers who have fallen into the water, and the draft is quite deep, in order to prevent the pirates from taking advantage of the situation to withdraw to Honshu first, I hereby order your ship to evacuate by itself." ”

As for whether Kawakami Koharu can withdraw safely, Tanabe Shunsuke doesn't care, anyway, even if the Admiralty is held accountable, there is a logbook and such captains and sailors testify, no one with a little nautical knowledge thinks that Kawakami Koharu will not be able to escape the pursuit of a pirate who has been extremely tired after the war.

However, Kawakami Koharu miscalculated Tanabe Shunsuke's determination to fight, to be precise, he always thought that the Fuso Navy, which had the advantage of ships, could win the final victory, but he did not expect that the Black Sail Pirate Fleet would use its own advantages to finally narrow the gap with Tanabe Shunsuke by constantly dividing its forces to defeat the weak.

So when Kawakami Koharu was calculating the progress of the battle ahead, calculating the time for himself to replace the mast, and preparing to enter the battlefield at the right time, he suddenly received an order from Shunsuke Tanabe to retreat.

After receiving the order, Kawakami Koharu immediately realized that he had been abandoned, and he even thought that Tanabe Shunsuke had delayed for a while when he gave him the order, that is, the Black Sail Pirate Fleet would appear in his field of vision at any time.

In fact, Tanabe Shunsuke gave the order to Kawakami Koharu after rescuing all the sailors and soldiers, and at this time, Gangko had already rescued his few sailors who had fallen into the water and went west. So Kawakami Koharu didn't have much time to react after receiving the order, and he saw the Black Sail Pirate Fleet coming from the northwest.

The latter result is self-evident, a battleship with a crooked mast could not outrun the Sea Lion, which relies on speed to eat, and after a small naval battle, Gangzi once again captured a brig battleship, and also got some urgently needed ammunition supplies.

Bidding farewell to Li Youtai, the Black Sail Pirate Fleet lined up and headed south. Now Gangzi has not yet realized the significance of overseas supply bases to a navy's ocean-going operations, and when he drags the exhausted and broken fleet into these bases in the future, he will definitely shout, Brother is really a natural admiral, and just lazy thoughts are secretly in line with the essence of naval warfare.

At this time, the performance of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet in the battle also set off a huge wave in the Fuso Navy, a battle of ten brig-class warships against four brig-class warships, no matter how you look at the ending, it was an overwhelming victory, but the fact was that the Fuso people expected, three of their own fleet were sunk, two were captured, and one was seriously injured, and the enemy fleet was only sunk by one or captured of its own warship. With such a disparity in results, even if the Fuso people don't believe it, they have to admit that this is the truth.

Tanabe Shunsuke's ability is undoubted, and the tactics arranged are also decent, using two brigs as bait, and the other eight are surrounded on all sides, dealing with a pirate fleet composed of three brigs and a military fortune ship. What is surprising is that this pirate fleet can quickly eat two brigs before the encirclement closes, and its firepower can be seen. In particular, one of the battleships could be sunk with naval guns in the face of a two-masted battleship that launched a "kamikaze attack", and this kind of firepower was already terrifying; There is another brig battleship, which is even more eye-catching in the face of two Ataka ships, which use speed and agility to easily sink, sink and hit hard.

The captains of these two brigs must be elites, and they are capable enough to command a three-masted battleship, and Tanabe Shunsuke judged that these two battleships are not the flagship of the pirates, and with such two subordinates willing to serve, what kind of terrifying existence is the pirate leader?

Based on Tanabe's description and the judgment of the logbook, the Fuso Admiralty believed that the strength of this pirate fleet had exceeded the capacity of the brigs, and that if the Fuso Navy did not want to bear greater losses, it would have to dispatch at least one three-masted warship as a fire suppression.
