Chapter 262 Before the War
Chu Jing and the four of them were a little uncomfortable among the pirates, these were not good people, or even absolute bad people, Lian and Xu Qian had never thought that they would be in the company of these people.
But the situation forced the people who once looked down on them to now have to live in peace.
The pirates didn't have much resentment towards Chu Jing and the four of them, especially under Huo Ying's orders, and they were even more friendly.
Warriors advocate stronger warriors, and pirates are even more so, how strong are the four of Chu Jing, they showed a part of it when dealing with sea monsters, and won the respect of the pirates.
The main thing is that there is no hostile relationship between them, there is a common enemy.
For the behavior of the squid pirates and the maritime chamber of commerce, the pirates were outraged and showed high morale.
Without Sea Tiger Island, these pirates can only wander on the boundless sea, with no place to stay, which is absolutely not allowed.
"Four, please come with me, enter the cave to rest first, and then I need you to contribute a lot. ”
It was Da Yubo who led the way for Chu Jing and the four of them, this is Huo Ying's most trusted person, and he is well versed in the world enough, so as not to say excessive things and do inappropriate things.
"Good, good. ”
Faced with an elderly pirate, it is difficult for Xu Qian to associate him with a charitable old man, but he is an old man who looks very old and weak.
It was the first time for Lian, Xu Qian, and Bai Lan to enter the underground, and the oppressive environment gave people a very uncomfortable feeling, and the underground ruins of Luolie Island were also very depressing, but there were dangers and opportunities everywhere, which made adventurers forget the uncomfortable feeling brought by the environment.
Who can live underground for a long time, except for monsters like goblins and kobolds, it is really difficult to imagine the scene of human beings living underground.
The four of them admired these pirates very much, and in order not to be exposed, they would rather live underground, which is definitely an amazing insistence.
However, Chu Jing and the others are not here to experience the hard life of pirates, they still have to quickly retrieve the Blood Bones, and they don't have time to stay here.
However, Huo Ying still couldn't fully trust them, and the pirates' internal meeting completely rejected them, so they had to rest in the underground room arranged by the pirates first.
Huo Ying was gathering the pirates at this time to hold a mobilization meeting, mainly to discuss how to deal with the pirates who landed on the island, and how to plan in the future after the location of the island was leaked.
"I don't have time to investigate why the location of Sea Tiger Island was leaked, now that the location of Sea Tiger Island has been exposed, I'm afraid we can't hide it like before, and we have to deal with those who landed on the island first. ”
Huo Ying stood on the shore and said loudly, the three pirate ships have retreated and are stopping at sea, three or four hundred pirate members, men, women, old and weak, when it comes to life and death, everyone here has the responsibility to fight for themselves.
The pirates whispered below, and they all panicked.
The secrets of Sea Tiger Island must not be leaked, and they have always followed this principle, just like when Chu Jing strayed into Sea Tiger Island on the Blood Skeleton, all ships and people who came to this sea area could not return, those who knew a little bit joined the ranks of the Sea Tiger Pirates, and those who did not know each other died directly under the butcher's knives of the pirates.
Huo Ying pulled out a new noble golden sword, pointed it to the sky, and shouted loudly: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, they are both pirates, today, the squid pirates and the Sea Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to seize our territory, no matter what the consequences of Sea Tiger Island being exposed, there is only one thing we have to do today, that is, kill them all, kill all the enemies who come to attack Sea Tiger Island!"
Huo Ying said to a few pirates beside him: "Now, hang the head of the sea monster I brought yesterday on the mainsail, and the three ships will have fifty archers each to contain the enemy ships at sea, and the others will rely on the terrain of Sea Tiger Island with me to annihilate the invading enemy!"
"Ah...... Kill them all!"
The pirates brandished their weapons and shouted.
After that, there is a detailed and lengthy personnel arrangement and preparation.
At this time, on the other side of the island, after the squid pirates lost a pirate ship and many pirates, the vanguard lived up to expectations and landed on Sea Tiger Island, successfully scaring Chu Jing and Huo Ying away.
The squid pirates did not rush into pursuit, but waited for the large army to land on the island together and assemble.
"This is the weapon that just broke one of my ships?"
In disbelief, Ulo boarded the blood-red sailboat with the blood-colored bones of a giant parked on the shore, and the pirate skull flag on it was something Uluo had never seen or heard of.
The iron cylinders in front of him were weapons he had never imagined.
Normally weapons are either angular or heavy enough, but this cartridge is not only heavy, but also shoots huge solid or exploding balls like trebuchets.
"This is supposed to be the work of an alchemist. "There are a few people walking behind him, the youngest of them is also in their fifties, they are all old and cunning guys, and Wuluo doesn't like them.
"The work of an alchemist?"
"Yes, most alchemists are not short of money, and some of the things they make are not for sale, so many of the strange things that we usually see are made by those reclusive alchemists. ”
An old businessman swore an oath, apparently agreeing with his guess.
"I see. "It's gone
Nodding, only those alchemists could have made something so powerful, and if this kind of thing really could be made by every blacksmith, then the pattern of war could change a lot.
As for why this ship was equipped with so many iron cylinders, the old merchant couldn't give an explanation, so he could only think that there was an alchemist among the pirates.
"By the way, now that you've landed on the island, it's time to tell me which pirate group owns this island, I've never seen a flag on this ship, and there is a very powerful alchemist among them, and offending an alchemist will cost you a lot. ”
Wuluo had asked the owner of the island before, but the Maritime Chamber of Commerce kept it a secret.
The old merchant glanced at the other heads of the Chamber of Commerce, and after seeing them nodding, he replied: "Now I can tell you, this island belongs to the Sea Tiger Pirates, and the former Huo Haihu is also your old buddy, and you used to cooperate, so I didn't tell you." ”
Huo Haihu...... It turned out to be his island...... Ha ha...... It's been ten years since I died, even if I miss the old love, I won't give up my future for the sake of a dead person, but I must protect Brother Huo's descendants. ”
"Yes, it's up to you, we don't ask. ”
Wuluo suddenly remembered a very serious question, "Wait, this flag is not the flag of the Sea Tiger Pirates, right?"
The old merchant was silent for a moment and replied, "Well, there have indeed been some variables, which we did not expect, and also caused some losses, but I know that things are going smoothly now." ”
"Yes, well, well. Wuluo was very happy, this island was almost already in his pocket, and it was really a great fortune to get so many powerful weapons made by alchemists.
Suddenly, a little minion of the squid pirates ran over, "Boss, we have found out, there are traces of repair on the bottom of this ship, it seems that it has suffered a huge impact, because of the relationship that has just been repaired, it cannot be launched for the time being." ”
Wu Luo was stunned for a moment, could it be that this ship accidentally landed on this island, and happened to encounter them coming to attack Sea Tiger Island?
The old merchant coughed twice, and then said, "Boss Wu, look at these alchemy weapons, how are we going to distribute them?"
"Huh, you want it too?"
"Hehe, Boss Wu, don't be joking, one of our ships has also been destroyed, isn't there even some compensation?"
Wuluo doesn't want to turn his face with the Maritime Chamber of Commerce yet, he still wants to wear the skin of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and set himself up as the king on this island.
"Okay, here's ...... Sixteen iron cylinders, so many, you are divided into eight. ”
The old merchant smiled into a chrysanthemum and said, "Boss Wu, you seem to have misunderstood me, we can add a little payment, I hope you can give us the entire ship to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce." ”
Wu Luo laughed angrily, "Heh, are you too greedy for the Chamber of Commerce, I will give you eight to give you face, everything else is my trophy, and it is impossible for you to take away a single piece of wood!"
The old merchant mainly because there were many mysterious weapons made by alchemists on the ship, and he thought that this could be a ship made by alchemists, which aroused great interest, and even the skeleton at the bow of the ship, I don't know what kind of giant's bones it was, but it was definitely a very valuable thing.
At this moment, another pirate ran out of the room, came to Wuluo excitedly, and laughed loudly: "Boss, boss!"
"Say!" said Wuluo, impatiently.
"Boss...... We're developed!"
The pirates hold pigeon-sized diamonds, green and blue gemstones, and large, round night pearls, many of which are treasures that are not available overseas, and are worth a fortune.
"It's ......," Wu Luo looked surprised.
"These are found in the cabins, and the pirates who live here are much richer than we are. ”
These things are all items that Chu Jing used to decorate the room in the mustard seed bag, because the minerals overseas and the mainland are different, and the things that are valuable on the Lishen Continent become extremely valuable when they are overseas.
Wuluo and the old merchant glanced at each other, and they were even more sure that the alchemists living on this ship were all over the place, and only an alchemist would be so rich that he would be a pirate willfully.
Wuluo sighed, "Alas, offending an alchemist, I don't know if it will cause a big disaster." ”
"That alchemist is on the island, as long as we catch him unconsciously, and then he doesn't let us have the final say, what are you afraid of. ”
The old merchant was not afraid at all, and it was natural to say this, in fact, in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, there were alchemists who were illegally imprisoned.
Alchemists are indeed rare, but it does not mean that they can live with dignity, and oppression and exploitation can be reflected in them.
Wuluo and the people of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce began to discuss how to completely occupy the entire Sea Tiger Island, originally wanting to take it by surprise, land on the island from the back of the Sea Tiger Island, and then sneak attack from the island, but now the plan has failed.
The eight guns and some of the shells and gunpowder on the Bloodbones were moved to the ship of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and the other items were left untouched, and Wuluo wanted the shape of the Bloodbones to be, and if he did capture the alchemist, he would have to be imprisoned on this ship, so it would be unwise to change any part of the ship.
Eventually, all the pirates, including the people of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, came together to make a total of six
More than 100 people, which is a large number, at least for pirates.
The problems of food, clothing, housing and other problems of the pirates can only be maintained by looting, which is far worse than the official robbery, so the number is generally relatively small.
The people of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce were not good at fighting, so they simply gave full authority to Wuluo to command, and several heads of the Chamber of Commerce stayed on the ship, and there were a hundred people left with them.
The main thing is also that those pirates will jump over the wall in a hurry, and directly come to the shipwreck, and burn these ships, then they will be very troublesome.
Five hundred, a full five hundred, are all strong and strong, in the year of fighting, neither the number nor the quality can be compared to the four hundred old, weak, sick and disabled of the Sea Tiger Pirates.
After everything was ready, Wuluo decided to rest for one night first, after all, it took a long time to land, the pirates were tired, and they were already on the island, so they were not in a hurry, if the Sea Tiger Pirates automatically retreated, it would be more in line with Wuluo's mind.
Huo Ying's side didn't want to rest, as the so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, just after boosting morale, it was time to fight.
Chu Jing and the four of them didn't wait too long underground before they were invited out, and then Huo Ying told her about her plan.
Three pirate ships pinned down some of the enemies at sea, and then, the members of the Sea Tiger Pirates relied on the terrain of Sea Tiger Island to maneuver with the Squid Pirates.
This is indeed a good way, Chu Jing has commanded many battles, and there is no better opinion.
In fact, the number of the two sides fighting this time is not much, mainly depends on their respective high-end combat power, such as the sword saint of Wuluo, one person can easily beat ten ordinary sword masters, of course, Chu Jing's pseudo-sword master is not counted.
As for facing the Great Sword Master, it depends on the level of the Sword Master and the Great Sword Master, after all, the Sword Master is compared to the Great Sword Master, in addition to the internal force, it only has a great advantage in flying.
Chu Jing and the others had not yet told Huo Ying the news that a Sword Saint was on those pirate ships, because they were a little worried that Huo Ying would not have the courage to face the Sword Saint.
But not every martial artist is not afraid of tigers like Xiang Lian, Xu Qian, and Bai Lan, and only the strength of the swordsman or even lower dares to make a move against the sword saint.
Lian and the others also had no choice, that very convenient ship fell into the hands of those pirates, and there were many treasures of high value in the cabin, even if it was not their own, they felt very wasted for Chu Jing, so they wanted to recapture the Blood Bones.
"I think it's still attacking at night. Chu Jing said to Huo Ying.
"Night?" Huo Ying was puzzled.
"Didn't the spies you just sent out say that the pirates didn't move? they don't move now, and they certainly won't move at night, and even if they take advantage of the day to get acquainted with their surroundings, they can't be more familiar than those of you who live on the island, so night is a big advantage for you. ”
"Hmm......" Huo Ying thought for a moment and decided to take Chu Jing's suggestion, she didn't want her subordinates to be damaged more than Wu Luolai.
Most of these pirates have been in the pirates since she was very young, and because of the reason for hiding the Sea Tiger Island, every new member needs to be tested for loyalty, so there are not many new members.
After getting along for a long time, pirates will also have feelings.
Night at sea came quickly, mainly because there were no electric lights, and soon after nightfall, the whole island was dyed black.
"Let the boat go first. Chu Jing whispered behind Huo Ying.
In the eyes of other pirates, being able to stand by Huo Ying's side is absolute trust and an honor, but Huo Ying is just optimistic about these four people, for Huo Ying, who grew up among pirates, trust this kind of thing, without the precipitation of time, does not exist at all.
Huo Ying suddenly felt that Chu Jing was military-minded, he was not only surprisingly good at swordsmanship, but also knew the art of war, which was really strange, could it be that Chu Jing's real identity was the prince of an island country, and he would have such outstanding abilities under the palace education since he was a child.
Now is not the time to guess Chu Jing's identity, the enemy in front of him is the top priority.
The Squid Pirates and the Sea Chamber of Commerce sent ten ships to come, even if there were only fifty people on each ship, there were as many as five hundred, which was definitely a terrifying number, and it was almost impossible for the Sea Tiger Pirates to win.
Huo Ying arranged fifty archers on each of his three pirate ships, but if it was just a lure now, then the number would be reduced.
To be on the safe side, there were fifty archers on the largest pirate ship, and the other two ships were only thirty people, and as for the people who drove the boat, they were old, weak, sick and disabled pirates, which was not counted.
As a result, there were less than two hundred pirates left by Huo Ying's side, and Huo Ying felt the difficulty of this battle.
In order not to reveal their location, the pirates did not even use torches, and under the leadership of the spies, two hundred people groped towards the shore where the Blood Bones were located.
Because it is a surprise attack and guerrilla warfare, most of the pirates are bows and arrows, spears, harpoons, etc., and they basically retreat immediately after throwing a round, and do not fall in love with the battle.
One of the ways to win more with less, first consume the opponent's vital strength, the examples of the three major battles in the past were well remembered by Chu Jing, although at that time there was an internal fight, which was much more tragic than the Battle of Changping, but it was just that the people Tu Bai Qi paid the price for his actions.
The three pirate ships have set sail, and I don't know when they will be discovered, so I hope to make a difference.
