Shandong Peninsula, on the sea surface around Hailu Island.

Ten pirate ships were sailing slowly with four sailing trophies. The pirate players on one of the ships shouted in terror, and now a Tsingtao fleet was following them. Then, the pirates on the other ships also panicked and ran out to check on the enemy.

When I heard the pirate players shouting loudly, my first reaction was impossible. It is five or six hundred miles away from Qingdao, and it is impossible for the Qingdao fleet to arrive within a day, so how can it be targeted by the Qingdao fleet? In order to ensure safety, he also deliberately kept his distance from Qingdao. Even if the Qingdao fleet is a clever calculation, it can't be so accurate.

I rushed out of the attic of the flagship with a group of pirate leaders such as the gray crow, and watched the sea behind me with binoculars. The situation shocked me greatly, and there were fifty or sixty Qingdao Big Bird ships of various light and heavy speeds catching up from behind. And it's menacing, and it's obvious that the momentum is coming at their pirate fleet. If the pirate fleet is not added, it will not take half an hour to be caught up by the other side.

Seeing this, the four or five pirate leaders were in a hurry, and if they were caught up, they would be devastated, and they all shouted loudly, "Head, quickly order the whole fleet to add it, otherwise we will soon be caught up by the Qingdao fleet, and we are no match for them at all." ”

"But what about the cargo ship we hijacked? One of the ground masts was broken and could not run. The other three were also fully loaded, which was too slow. How can we take them all away! ”

"Stupid, are these cargo ships more important or our fighting ships more important? If we are caught up, all our fighting ships will be sunk to the bottom of the sea, and there will be no hope of becoming a sea hegemon. As long as we keep these ten fighting ships, we will be able to rob these cargo ships again sooner or later. ”

I'm still thinking about it at this point. How could the Qingdao fleet keep an eye on his fleet, he was already in a mess in his heart. But every time he went to a place to rob, he decided by improvising a lot. There is simply no possibility of an internal leak of the message. This collision with the Qingdao fleet can only be explained by an unexpected encounter.

With a wave of his hand, he stopped the pirate leaders from arguing. Loudly ordered: "Abandon the sailing ship with the broken mast." The other three sailing ships were dumped overboard to reduce their weight. The most valuable seafood in one of the cargo ships was dispersed and transferred to three sailing ships, and the three sailing ships were as high as possible. ”

The pirate leaders immediately came to their senses and quickly carried out their orders.

Players aboard three intact sailboats in small boats to carry a large amount of heavy cargo out of the pods and into the sea. The goods in one of the seafood cargo ships were quickly transported to other sailing ships in small boats.

A light galleon loaded with cargo travels slower than a light fighting ship full of soldiers. But after throwing a large amount of heavy cargo into the sea. Instead, they were faster than the light fighting ships carrying the soldiers.

Pirate players have a lot of experience in facing enemies. Although ** was followed by a large group of frantically chasing fighting ships, it was not chaotic, and after a panic, he quickly came up with countermeasures.

Half an hour later, they had dropped almost all of their cargo out into the sea, except for seafood, and adjusted the number of people on board three galleons and ten pirate ships. Try to make sure that each boat is as light as possible.

After this was done, I ordered the whole fleet to go all out. At this time. The Qingdao fleet has a huge group of fifty or sixty ground fighting ships that have already chased after them. Less than a kilometer away. The personnel in the bow of both sides are already clearly visible.

The pirate players arrogantly raised their middle fingers at each other and shouted in unison. "Bye-bye, brothers in Qingdao don't have to go far! We know how to get home. "If you want to catch up with us, in the next life!"

The distance between the two fleets was still narrowing, from 1,000 meters to 80,000 meters, but the degree of closeness had slowed down, and it took five minutes to close the distance. Don't look at the huge number of Qingdao fleets, and they are chasing closely. But unless the distance between the two fleets is narrowed to within 100 meters, there will be no fight at all.

On the bow of the flagship of the Qingdao fleet, a young player stood with his sword in his hand and said with a smile: "It's quite arrogant, I want to see how long you can be arrogant!" Brothers, keep adding and have fun with these pirates! ”

The players shouted yes.

A merchant player next to him said worriedly, "Brother Sword King, but what about my caravan?" The fleet is too far away to be safe. ”

The player known as the "Sword King" looked back and smiled, "Don't worry, no other pirate gang in this area has so many fighting ships except for this skeleton pirate army. No one dared to fight the idea of Qingdao merchant ships. If you can catch these skeleton pirates, the security of the Qingdao-Weihai shipping route may be greatly improved, which will be very beneficial to your caravan. ”

The merchant player thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed to continue the pursuit.

In the vast Bohai Sea, the Qingdao fleet continued to advance, and kept approaching the pirate fleet with great determination, and in an hour, the distance between the two sides was narrowed from more than 700 meters to more than 500 meters and more than 400 meters.

This time, it was the turn of the players on the Qingdao fleet to shout loudly, "Brother Pirate, let's give you a ride!" I'll be sending you back to your hometown all the time! ”

The pirate fleet finally panicked, and in their initial prediction, both sides would use the same light sloops, which should be the same in terms of performance. Once you add all your strength, then it is impossible for the other party to catch up, and you will eventually be forced to give up the pursuit.

But why is the Qingdao fleet still approaching them?

Could it be that the fighting ships produced by Zhou Shui are slower than the fighting ships produced in Qingdao in terms of degree?

They are not the production of boats, and it is not clear what process and standards these fighting ships are produced according to, and why there is a difference in the performance of the same boats. Today was the first time they had encountered being pursued by the same light fighting ships, and they were overtaken.

The pirates watched the Qingdao fleet approaching behind them, and they looked at each other, and they had to think of this possibility.

I was furious, "The fighting ships produced by Zhou Shui are actually worse than those in Qingdao, isn't this my life?" ”

The gray crow hurriedly said: "Head, there is another possibility, could it be that the personnel of each ship of the Qingdao fleet are less than ours?" The standard load of a light fighting ship is 200 people, but if the load capacity of the Qingdao fleet is lighter, only more than 100 people, then their degree will be one point faster than ours. This one-point gap is enough for them to catch up with us. ”

My eyes widened suddenly, and there was a possibility. In fact, each of these pirate ships carried about 120 people. It is not excluded that the number of the Qingdao fleet is a little lower than theirs.

The other pirate players became nervous, "Head, don't leave the NPC soldiers off the ship, they are the capital of our battle!" ”

I said angrily, "Phew, when did Lao Tzu do anything to abandon his brother, even if it was an NPC." Everyone immediately threw the excess water and food on board into the sea. I threw it all but a person and reduced weight by throwing it all! ”

The players on the various pirate ships got busy again, throwing all kinds of water, food and other items on the ships into the sea. Some players even threw weapons such as stone spears into the sea.

The effect was quite obvious, and the distance between the Qingdao fleet and the pirate fleet finally stopped getting closer. The pirate players were relieved and laughed. I do my own thing, gray crows and other pirate leaders are happy, it seems that the fighting ships produced by Zhou Shui are still reliable and guaranteed in performance.

But the Qingdao fleet chased them as if it had determined its prey. Half of the Bohai Sea has passed, and if you chase it down, you will go to the Liaodong area.

I was so angry that I ran to the stern of the ship and shouted: "People from Qingdao, when are you going to chase you?" Do you want to go to the Liaodong Peninsula with us? Let me tell you, Liaodong is the territory of the Yan Kingdom, not the territory of your Qi Kingdom! Be careful that there is no return! ”

The leader of the Qingdao fleet, the Sword King, laughed loudly: "I do my brother, aren't you also a player of the Qi Kingdom, wherever you go, I will go there!" I'm in a good mood today, so I'll play with you. ”

I was stunned for a moment, took a closer look at the binoculars, and laughed: "Ha, it turned out to be the sword king brother in Qingdao, the brother is not good to stay in Qingdao, and it is not a good habit to run around like us pirates." We have no hatred in the past and no grievances in the near future, why chase so hard?! Besides,. ”

The Sword King laughed and said, "It's okay, brother, I just want to visit my brother's lair." Maybe there's something better in Brother's Lair, and I'm just looking to visit it! ”

The grey crow hurriedly said, "Head, what if they follow us all the way to the lair?" The food and water we carry on our ship can only last for more than a day, and they will eventually catch up with us just enough to reach our lair! When the time comes, we will inevitably be wiped out. ”

The other pirate lords also gathered around me to go about their business, looking anxious.

With a gloomy face, I turned to the gray crow and the pirate leaders, and said, "These bastards seem to be going to kill us all, let me think about it." He thought about it for a while and said, "Let's go to Lushunkou and ask the Zhoushui fleet to help block the Qingdao fleet." ”

A pirate leader hurriedly said: "But what if the Zhou Fleet doesn't help?" ”

I said unquestioningly, "No way." Lushunkou is the territory of the Zhoushui fleet, and their fleet is not good-looking, and it is impossible to let the Qingdao fleet run to show off its might. Otherwise, what are they doing with Lushun's mouth? Inform the ships that our destination is Lushunkou, and tell everyone not to panic. Unless the Qingdao fleet has a kind of fight with the Zhoushui fleet, we can't be finished! ”
