Chapter 70 is exhausted

Qinbian, a coastal town in the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, is a relatively quiet town, built on a hill and facing the sea, and the town wharf is scattered with a few small sailing ships and dhows.

Why aren't there people from the big guilds here?

The main reason is that the large guilds can't look down on here, it is located in the north of Goryeo, and it is impossible to form a maritime trade route with the Han Dynasty, and the trade with Fusang is not as advantageous as the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, and the nearest is the Rakshasa country, but with the situation that the Pacific coast of the Rakshasa country is uninhabited for thousands of miles, it is not a prosperous trade. Without a good business foundation, it is natural that it will not be able to enter the eyes of large guilds, and it will not waste precious territory certificates here.

The players of these small guilds are stationed here, expecting their guilds to get the territory certificate soon to seize this place, while monitoring the movements of the guilds in Qinbian Port. There are a few quests to take on in both the port and the town, and although there are not many, there are also fewer players, at least to make yourself less boring during your shift.

There is no thriving business in Qinbian, and the port of Qinbian is naturally much simpler, and the only large building is the warehouse near the wharf, which is divided into military and commercial use, and the military warehouse is stockpiled with some naval supplies for the Goryeo patrol fleet to dock and replenish, and there are 100 naval soldiers to protect it.

Today's Qinbian port wind and sunshine, a fast horse hurried from the Qinbian formation, and the horse's hooves knocked on the bluestone road to break the original tranquility. The knight on the horse circled the port twice, and after stopping for a while outside the naval warehouse, he galloped towards the pier into the sea, and then stood there all the time.

The knight's unusual behavior attracted the attention of the players on the small sailboat, and there were already few players who came here, especially a player who seemed to be anxious and looking at the sea for a long time. Someone wanted to go up and find out the identity of this person, but seeing the knight pretending to cover his cheeks mysteriously, he didn't have the idea that he was very likely to be closed.

Time passed little by little, during which some foreign players came here to hand over the task, and by the way, some goods were taken away, and the ship was not empty is the most basic principle of the marine merchant.

The knight was still standing.

When a member of the guild finally couldn't help but ask, before he could speak, the knight raised his hand and shot an arrow into the air. The gunpowder arrow spewed sparks and flew high into the air with a piercing whistle, and then exploded into a large petal with a "bang".

The knight's arrows alarmed all the people in the harbor, and of course they saw a fleet of warships coming from the sea in the distance.

Battleship?

Although the town of Qinbian is secluded, warships are also a common thing, and the good port called the Goryeo Navy set up a supply point here, and left two dhow as guards, although the Goryeo patrol fleet patrols here every day to seek supplies, although there are not many, but it is not so much that the people here are not surprised.

It's just that the scale of the fleet that came this time is inevitably a bit huge, with four brigs and one fortune ship and no flags, which cannot but be surprising.

The players have not yet figured out the situation, but the navy left behind in Goryeo has already blown up. The naval soldiers guarding the warehouse quickly boarded the dhow moored at the dock, and all the rest were evacuated into the warehouse to wait, and the five hundred defenders in Qinbian Town were also beginning to assemble.

It's going to be war.

Obviously, the unidentified fleet that is gradually getting bigger in front of them is friend or foe, and the Qinbian players who have been living a comfortable life did not expect a naval battle to approach so suddenly, and the small sailing ships in the port have lifted anchor and ran out of the port, a naval battle of this scale is not something they can participate in at all, and it is the royal way to escape before the fleet has not blocked the port. And those players who don't have a boat have run into the town, and it is estimated that the combat mission has been released, which is a good time for our players to show their skills and grab merit and experience. I didn't expect to encounter a "monster siege" on duty in a place like Qinbian, which is really lucky, wahahaha......

The unknown fleet got closer and closer, and in the face of a formidable enemy, the only two sloops of the Goryeo Navy rushed forward without hesitation. When the whole fleet was seen, the battleship led by the leader made all the people breathe to a sudden halt.

What kind of battleship is this? The blackened and tattered sails struggled to carry the sea breeze, and the sides of the battleship were covered with holes of various sizes, and the broken bow, the sloping stern, and the crooked hull seemed to sink into the sea at any moment. What kind of battle did it go through? The sailors of the Goryeo Navy couldn't help but think about it, and their eyes couldn't help but show a look of reverence.

But this did not make the Goryeo Navy forget its duty, and the sailors on the mast frequently waved the flag: "Unknown fleet ahead, you have invaded the territorial waters of Goryeo, please identify yourself, drop sail and anchor, and wait for us to come on board for inspection." ”

Gangzi stood on the bridge of the Sea Monster and looked at the low-defended harbor in the distance, and the weak garrison made him very satisfied, but the sloping deck made him stand very uncomfortable, and the two disturbing flies also made him feel worse and worse.

"Scumbags! The Fusang Navy has called Brother to run away with his tail between his legs, and you two broken sloops dare to stand in the way of your brother, and the tiger will not threaten you and I will be a sick cat, little ones! Raise the black flag and beat him! ”

The pirate flag was raised, and the Kraken traversed the bullet-riddled hull, a preemptive shot of encouragement. Two rows of shells almost indiscriminately covered the Goryeo sloop, and before they could fall, the other warships of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet opened fire on the Goryeo Navy in turn.

In the face of the naval gun fire of the five brig-class warships, the Goryeo Navy had no power to fight back, and the dense shells smashed into the waves set off in the left rear sea, making it impossible for the Goryeo sailors to make effective aim on the bumpy deck.

After a few rounds of hasty fire, seeing that the pirates were about to form an encirclement of him, the two dhows of the Goryeo Navy immediately turned south and fled in embarrassment.

The navy is a high-cost, high-tech service, and if it is not necessary, the navy's combat purpose is not inclined to fight hard, especially when there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and there is no strategic or tactical need, the retreat of the two sloops in battle is not a fault, but will be rewarded for saving their own warships and bringing detailed information about the enemy.

In short, the navy, which is more difficult to replenish and restore its combat strength than the army, should not be advocated in any battle in which it kills 1,000 enemies and loses 800 of its own strength, just like the final decision of the Fuso Navy Major Toshisuke Tanabe a few days ago.

In the encirclement and suppression of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet by the Fuso Navy, the Fuso Navy miscalculated the strength of the Black Sail Pirates, resulting in a series of tactical miscalculations, which were broken by the Black Sail Pirate Fleet with powerful firepower, making the two sides of the battle with a large difference in overall strength finally fight a stalemate. For Tanabe Shunsuke, if he continues to fight, the pirate fleet may be annihilated, but his own warships may also cease to exist, and the destruction of a fleet of ten brig-class warships will not be a blow to the Fuso Navy, but if it is known to the outside world that it was wiped out by pirates, it will be a great stain on the reputation of the Fuso Navy.

Moreover, Tanabe Shunsuke's servant ships were still under the strong fire of the enemy ships, and another enemy high-speed battleship had already supported him, so after he had regrouped the fleet, he might only have three ships left to fight, while the pirates had four. Shunsuke Tanabe was not sure of victory, and he could not afford to lose.

So Tanabe Shunsuke finally chose to armistice, although the battleship suffered a lot of losses, there were many sailors who fell into the water in the sea, skilled sailors are more valuable to the navy than to build battleships, as long as the personnel are still there, for this fleet can quickly recover its strength.

Of course, the truce is also what Gangzi is looking forward to, although the sea monster's firepower is strong, but what it brings is a large consumption of ammunition, don't look at the fact that he has been pressing the Fuso brig battleship now, in fact, his ammunition is running out. The Sea Lion gave up completely sinking the last Ataka ship to quickly come back to help, also to cover up the lack of ammunition for the Sea Monster. Otherwise, once the Fuso Navy realizes that it is running low on ammunition, I am afraid that the Fuso Navy will immediately put into the last battleship for a decisive battle.

The Fuso Navy is afraid of losses, and Gangzi is equally afraid.

Under the tacit understanding, the battle stopped dumbly, and the two sides gathered their own warships to rescue their own people who fell into the water, and then left separately.

Watching the Fuso fleet slowly disappear under the sea level, Gangzi finally let out a sigh of relief, the continuous battle made him always in the most fierce battle, although the sea monster has a lot of achievements, but it is also the target of the Fuso Navy's key attack, the walls of the two sides are full of bullet holes, if it weren't for the wartime Jingwei Bird bow like every period of time to repair a damage for it, I am afraid that the sea monster would have been seriously sunk in the hull of the ship. However, once out of battle, the Jingwei Bird no longer repaired the hull, and the Kraken still entered a large amount of seawater after emergency repair, and the hull was somewhat tilted, even if the sailors struggled to pump the water outward, it could not be improved, and it was estimated that there were cracks in the bottom of the ship, and this damage had to be repaired ashore.

Whether it's ammunition replenishment or hull repairs, the Black Sail Pirate fleet must dock as soon as possible. It's just that this is the Fusang Sea, and there is no safe port around at all, and in desperation, Gangzi decided to seize a small port with weak defenders.

Due to the presence of Li Youtai, Gangzi set his sights on the east bank of Goryeo.

The sinking of the Mercury brought Lee Yo-tae back to life in Daejeon, in the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula.

Li Youtai, who was in Daejeon, did not dare to send a message for fear of affecting the battle of Gangzi, so he had to wait anxiously in place. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Gangzi to send the news that the battle was over and the fleet was safe.

The merit is better than the rescue, and for Li Youtai to take the initiative to block the gun for himself and not hesitate to sink his Mercury, Gangzi praised him vigorously. Later, he also explained the difficulties of the fleet, and asked Li Youtai to find a weakly guarded Goryeo port within a relatively close distance from the Black Sail Pirate Fleet, so that the Black Sail Fleet could replenish and rest after a fierce battle.

Li Youtai agreed without hesitation after receiving the message, but after thinking about it, he said extremely embarrassedly: "Big brother, the transmission fee is too expensive, and the little brother has no money!" ”

"Hahaha...... Give you 5,000 gold to fly all the way over.
