Chapter 66: Bait

On the course of the Tsushima Strait, the player's small sailboat is not the main body at all, but is only sporadically interspersed in it. All of them are large merchant ships, hired by players, and owned by NPCs. The sails are like cloud covers, sailing slowly with a big belly, these are all great feats given in vain, and the anxious Gangzi has no time to identify the flags one by one, anyway, it is impossible for anyone who has a relationship with him to drive the ship here now, close his eyes and bombard his mother.

The Black Sail Pirates who rushed into the Tsushima Strait were like hungry wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, dumping their ammunition into the crowded waterway. Sluggish merchant ships were sent to the bottom of the sea, and the heavy cargo made it impossible for them to save themselves. The huge profits of the ocean trade made every player involved enthusiastically invest all their funds, and the long-term stable runners made them completely forget the volatile risks of the sea, and the sinking of each mercenary merchant ship here represented the bankruptcy of a few or dozens of players, and the cries and scolding filled the entire regional channel.

"Yaga! How could there be such powerful pirates in the Tsushima Strait, what are the navy doing, damn it! ”

"Isn't this kind of pirate supposed to be in the open sea? Surely it must have been who provoked them and brought them to ......"

"Regardless of how they got here, what are we going to do?"

"Now the pirates are indiscriminately attacking, our merchant ships are full of loads and slow speeds, so they can't run away at all, the best way is to throw away the goods, reduce the load, and get out of here quickly."

"What does this have to do with being sunk and losing cargo?"

"Stupid, the merchant ship was sunk, not only the deposit was confiscated, but also a large reduction in the credit points in the Chamber of Commerce, will reduce the ration of goods, compared to these, the goods on the ship are nothing, our current cargo ration is finally rising, there is a ration to turn over."

"But...... I think we should unite to resist, evil can't prevail over good, and the pirate groups who have collected our protection money will definitely come to our rescue? ”

"How old are you......"

"Hahaha...... I've thrown all the goods away, and I don't want to run past the pirates, I just need to get past you, and that kindergarten, you're too second. ”

Hearing this man's words, almost all the merchant runners immediately dumped the ship's cargo, in this case, as long as those player pirates did not get sick, it was impossible to come out to save them, and running faster than other merchant ships was the real hope. Although the crazy pirates can bully these merchant ships wantonly, it still takes a few rounds of artillery to deal with a large merchant ship, and the four pirate ships scatter to chase and kill, and the slow one is of course the preferred target, at this time, as long as you can run ahead of other players' merchant ships, you will have the opportunity to enter the navy's patrol area, no matter how strong this pirate is, it is impossible to fight against the navy.

At this time, Li Youtai's role was manifested, and the Belt and Road Party had the advantages of the Belt and Road Party, and he had been going back and forth to the Tsushima Strait for a long time to let him know where the busiest shipping lanes were and where the largest merchant ships were, and led four warships to beat up the merchants in the Tsushima Strait. However, Li Youtai still has a conscience, and most of the merchant ships that led the Black Sail Pirate Fleet to attack were Fuso, and constantly led the Black Sail Pirate Fleet to the sea area close to Fusang, so that the Goryeo players did not suffer too much loss under the attack of Gangzi.

As long as there are meritorious deeds, it doesn't matter to Gangzi whether he fights Goryeo or Fuso, as for attracting the Goryeo Navy in the Yellow Sea...... Brother has always had a limit to his brains, and if he brought them here, he would earn some merits, and he could just think about how to run away all day long. Besides...... Brother has to have that ability! The four brig-class warships want to attract the west coast fleet of Goryeo to the east coast, what kind of angry thing do you have to do! Therefore, it is the royal way to earn meritorious deeds, and if you want to ask your brother to attract the Goryeo Navy, you will first return the three-masted battleship to your brother, and then give it to ten or eight by the way, and your brother will consider it.

So the Black Sail pirate fleet chased the tail of the fugitive merchant ship eastward, killing all the way to the island of Shikoku in Fuso, all the way to the wreckage.

After the initial madness, the seafaring players of the entire Fuso and Goryeo kingdoms knew that there was a crazy pirate fleet in the Tsushima Strait, and they would kill anyone when they saw it, and they would never see a single ship in the Tsushima Strait in just two days. The navies of the two countries also encircled and suppressed this pirate, but Fusang and Goryeo themselves were in a hostile state, and there was no cooperation at all, and the pirates were somehow very familiar with the nearby terrain and cruising back and forth in the border waters between the two countries, so that the navies of the two countries did not dare to pursue them deeply for fear of triggering a war, and often watched the pirates sail arrogantly in front of them, but could not cross the maritime border.

The deserted sea is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, just like the desolate area in the depths of the ocean, the results of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet have dropped sharply, and Gangzi asked himself if he was a little too "killing chickens and taking eggs".

"Xiao Li, are there any other business routes around here?" The madness of the past few days has made Gangzi's merits soar, and it is estimated that he can already be promoted to lieutenant, and he is only one step away from the rank of lieutenant, so he is even more eager for meritorious service.

After adapting, Li Youtai was no longer bound on the brig, this guy was fluent in Fuso, and through the information he knew and obtained through the forum, he called the Black Sail Pirate Regiment to ambush several greedy merchants who tried to smuggle themselves into the Tsushima Strait. After several rounds of heavy losses, no player dares to take risks no matter how much the relative price of the two countries rises.

Hearing the eldest brother's question, Li Youtai immediately replied: "I'm afraid there will be no more players in the Tsushima Strait in a short time, but there are still many players who travel between Goryeo and Fuso through the Fusang Sea, although the distance is a little far and dangerous, but the profit still attracts many players to take risks, we may try to go deep into the Fusang Sea, as long as we have patience, there should still be a good harvest." ”

Gangzi nodded and agreed with Li Youtai's suggestion, anyway, the Tsushima Strait is deserted at this time, it is better to go deep into the Fusang Sea to try your luck, and when the Tsushima Strait is prosperous again, my brother will turn around and shear the wool again.

So the Black Sail Pirate Fleet turned around and headed north into the Fuso Sea.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Another large merchant ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

With Li Youtai's intelligence support, after Gangzi entered the Fusang Sea, he has made some gains in the past few days. But the increase in merit brought about a sharp consumption of gunpowder and shells. Although this time it followed the supply ship Bangma, but it supported the artillery dumping of four ships for days, and the inventory of Bangma was not much.

The Black Sail Pirate Fleet is a wanted figure in Goryeo and Fuso, and there is no need to think about it if you want to dock for supplies, and the Rakshasa Kingdom in the northern part of the Fusang Sea is also unclear and does not dare to dock, so do you want to return to Black Sail Island and come back after replenishment? can waste so much time, Gangzi is a little unwilling to think about it.

The old generation said: There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy made it for us. Brother's fleet is fighting others these days, and he has not suffered a single shot, but now he is only short of shells and gunpowder, and it is not that the hull is damaged and needs to be repaired.

Of course, it is not realistic to rob the player, the small sailing ship can hold too little gunpowder, and the shell model is not right, so it can only rob the navy.

Now Gangzi has no pressure on the patrol fleet of the Navy at all, three brigs and one military ship, the ship is strong and the guns are sharp, the four captains have their own strengths, the fleet is strong, and it is not easy to capture a patrol fleet?

Do it when you think of it, and grab it while you still have some reserves. Li Youtai made a great contribution on the ship, and Gangzi would of course take care of his emotions and order the fleet to sail beyond Fuso Honshu Island.

This time it was a real battle, and Li Youtai, who was a little aesthetically tired of bullying merchant ships, became excited again, thinking that he was about to face the Fusang Navy, and he would also participate in it, and his body's qi and blood were a little reversed. Li Youtai lay on the bow of the Sea Monster and tried to search for the figure of the Fuso Navy, a brig battleship crossed the Sea Monster and rushed forward, the speed was not like a sail ship, it was Liang Hong's Sea Lion, as the fastest warship in the entire fleet, the Sea Lion took on the scout work and went out to find the target, and Gangzi dragged the main force behind to see the opportunity.

The Black Sail Pirate Fleet split into two and headed for the coast of Fuso's Honshu, and the Sea Lion searched in a fan-shaped shape with the speed of the ship, and it didn't take long to find the traces of two brigs.

The Fuso people are really big, and the patrol fleet is still two brigs, of course, this should have something to do with their navy's dominance in this sea area. Fusang is an island country, and its long coastline represents a strong navy, while its neighbors, Goryeo, have a small navy, and the Rakshasa Far East is sparsely populated and does not have a strong fleet; Dahan has a strong navy, but it is divided into various states, and a single one is not enough to threaten the Fusang navy, not to mention that the center of gravity of the Yangzhou fleet and Jiaozhou fleet, the most powerful fleet of the Han Dynasty, is in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

Backed by the Pacific Ocean, the Fuso Navy, which does not have much maritime threat, naturally does not have so much sense of crisis, and the character of the Fuso player will not attack his own navy on a large scale, resulting in the patrol fleet of the Fuso Navy remaining at two.

As soon as the Sea Lion made contact with the Fuso patrol fleet, it immediately pretended to be invincible and retreated in the direction of the main force of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet. The Sea Monster and the Seal spread out to both wings to outflank the Fuso patrol fleet, and in a short time surrounded the two brigs of the Fuso patrol fleet.

Seeing the Sea Monster and the Seal appear on both wings, Liang Hong turned the bow of the ship and quickly stuck to the Fusang patrol fleet, relying on the speed of the ship to threaten the bow and stern of the opponent's ship from time to time. Seeing that there was no hope of retreating, the Fuso fleet also showed its unique desperate strength and hit the Sea Lion fiercely.

The duel of "boom, boom, boom, boom......" naval guns sounded on the sea, and the Fuso patrol fleet, with overwhelming firepower superiority, hit the waves around the Sea Lion and almost flooded the hull. Liang Hong personally steered the Sea Lion, dodging the attack of the rain of bullets with his superb skills, and at the same time constantly counterattacking with naval guns so that the opponent could not calmly aim and fire.
