In the blink of an eye, the Red Cossack made a full circle around the pirate island and returned to the southern pier.

The crowd has gained a lot of knowledge: such a big ship cannot catch up with the speed boat with all sails. Who would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?

After visiting everywhere, Li Huamei asked a question: "How is this ship armed?" Why isn't there a bed crossbow on deck that fires a Greek clay pot? There were no gun emplacements below deck and no shotguns. Is it all about ramming or engaging in broadside combat? ”

"Of course there are weapons. The Greek Fire Greatbow has been eliminated, so let's take you to see the Red Cossack's cannon. ”

Everyone followed Nan Xiao to the side of the ship, and watched him take off his gun jacket and show off a small double-barreled cannon with a slender body. "What's the use of such a thin cannon?" Everyone shook their heads.

In fact, this is Lucia's cutting-edge artillery combination system for spy ships. It is equipped with 4 mini-cruise missiles with a maximum range of 100 km, and another 48 in the storage and transport boxes directly below the deck, which can be automatically reloaded. In the center is a 30-mm double-barreled cannon with a rate of fire of 300 rounds per minute, an effective range of 1.5 km, and an ammunition base of 2,000 rounds. Replacing it with high-explosive incendiary bombs and dealing with the wooden sail warships of this era is nothing short of a massacre.

If you don't shoot twice, these people are stupid and can't recognize it after all. So Nan Xiao ordered: "Red Pioneer, blow up the reef in front." ”

What the? Want to blow it up?

Suddenly, when they heard that they were going to blow up the reef, they couldn't believe it.

The lonely and dangerous pitch-black reef in front of it was just blocked near the pier. Everyone had no choice but to put a cold pig's head on incense according to the old rules, begging it not to make trouble. Such a long, thick and hard guy can't shake it up with a cannonball, can he blow it up?

On the side of the ship, the base of the double-barreled machine gun began to rotate, and the barrel of the cannon was raised, just in front of the reef.

Tong! Tong! Tong! Three shots in a row, and the reef went up to the sky.

When the smoke cleared, only waves remained on the sea, and the part of the reef that came out of the water completely disappeared, and only the bottom half of the water could be faintly seen.

"How," Nan Xiao asked everyone, "This firepower is not bad, is it?" ”

"How far can you hit?" Yang Xien hurriedly asked.

In the Ming Dynasty, one zhang was about 3.3 meters, and Nan Xiao converted it and said, "About five hundred zhang." ”

Five hundred zhang!

Most of the people on the ship were in a trance, thinking that they had made a mistake in their ears. Even if it is the strongest eight-bull crossbow, the range written in the war book is only 500 zhang, and most of it is boasting. The farthest hit record of the eight-bull crossbow in history is that the Song army killed Xiao Tzulin, the general of the Liao State, with an arrow, only a distance of more than 100 zhang. Anyone who knows how to do it knows that no matter how far it goes, it only depends on luck, and there is no chance of sight and no lethality.

Compared with the Ba Niu crossbow, this cannon has a straight range and extremely high accuracy, and a line of fire points wherever it is hit. Five hundred zhang! It's so accurate that it can even hit 500 zhang! The power is so great that it blows up the reef with a single shot. The stone had stood near the dock for an unknown number of years, and no one could take it, and it would shatter when it hit this small cannon.

Yang Xien was super excited: "This is a militaristic weapon!" With this defeat, who can fight on the sea? Even if the shogunate ironclad came, it would not be worth mentioning in front of it. Our army is invincible from now on. ”

The dock was crowded with people, and they all cheered loudly when they saw the Red Cossack smash the reef with one shot.

However, there were also a few thieves among them, secretly observing the movements of the Red Cossack, and quickly recording them with charcoal.

Nan Xiao glanced at those people. "Rat......" he said contemptuously, and suddenly ordered: "Someone! ”

A team of loyal guards immediately arrived, and Nan Xiao identified them one by one, saying, "This, this, that...... Arrest them all. ”

Suddenly, there was a rush of chickens and dogs jumping near the dock. The guards rushed into the crowd and arrested more than thirty people. There is any identity. The biggest of the hawkers, maritime merchants, dock workers, sailors, and officers was a white-bladed captain on the Jackdaw, named Liu Er.

"I'm not guilty!" Liu Er was so angry that the black hairs on the mole stood up, "Why did the Admiral give the order to take me?" ”

"You're a shogunate spy," Nan Xiao said, "and you've just been arrested, but you should be their leader." ”

"I'm not!"

Liu Er was not convinced, and struggled to defend himself, saying that he was the old man of the Li family's water master, not a spy. Occasionally, slogans were shouted, accusing Nan Xiao of intending to annex the Li family's sailors and purge them, the sailors loyal to the Li family.

A captain also stood up to speak for him: "Liu Er got on the ship with me in Hangzhou ten years ago, how could he be a shogunate spy?" ”

Nan Xiao's answer was unexpected: "Liu Er may not be, but this person is not Liu Er at all." ”

The captain was shocked: "What? He is obviously Liu Er! ”

"There's something weird on his face. The lonely shadows are good at makeup, and the real Liu Er is afraid that he has already been destroyed and destroyed. ”

Sure enough, after careful inspection, traces of very tight bonding were found on the neck of "Liu Er". Picking it open with a knife, he actually peeled off a whole human skin mask. The mask is exquisitely made, with powdered surfaces, eyebrows and lips so vividly drawn that it is completely unrecognizable as a fake.

After taking off the mask, "Liu Er" revealed his true face, a black and thin man, with an extremely ordinary face.

He knew that his whereabouts were revealed, so he didn't say a word or defend himself.

Yang Xien was furious and ordered these people to be dragged down and tortured.

"No," Nan Xiao said, "I already know all about their plots." These people are all downline, and they were developed after this lonely shadow group went to the island, and they only contacted him. Most of them didn't know anything about the shogunate. ”

When the arrested people heard this, they thought that Nan Xiao was going to forgive them, so they immediately kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy desperately: "Admiral spare your life, we really don't know anything." ”

Nan Xiao smiled: "Don't get me wrong. I don't say you know anything, and I don't mean to excuse you. Next, our army will have a decisive battle with the shogunate, and the military situation is like fire. You guys, eating inside and out, taking the grain, rice and money I have sent, and in turn spying on my intelligence and selling it to the shogunate agents, are really eaten by dogs. What's the use of keeping something like you, which I don't know what to do," he said and instructed the guards beside him, "to bring them all to the dock and behead them all." ”

Suddenly there was a howl of ghosts and wolves, and dozens of people were dragged to the seashore and knelt in a long line on the pier trestle.

"Wait! Listen to me, I have been wronged," cried a man who looked like a maritime merchant, "and I have not betrayed the island's secrets at all. Being a man with a conscience, I have nothing to do with Liu Er, so I just gambled together. It's also outrageous, hold the grass."

With a single slash, the human head fell into the sea, and the headless corpse was immediately pushed down.
