Chapter 42: The Secrets of the Arab Pirates
Xiao Lang'er took the women on the boat, entered the captain's room, closed the door, and they curiously gathered around, wrapped their bodies in a silk scarf, and squatted on the ground with their round plump buttocks, wanting to see what it was. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a copper lock on this delicate box, Xiao Lang'er doesn't think about it so much, with his black knife that sharpens iron like clay, the copper lock is broken, Xiao Lang'er slowly uncovers the box cover, and everyone's hearts are slowly lifted.
The box bullet opened, emitting a golden light, it turned out to be full of gold coins, it should be the captain's personal property, the two slave girls counted it, there were more than two hundred gold coins in total, each piece was about one or two, and there was a rectangular box inside, Xiao Lang'er opened the lid of this box, revealing a dagger that was a foot long with a cold light, and the handle of the dagger was also engraved with a circle of Arabic characters, Windsor looked at it carefully, a little familiar, and had learned Arabic characters before. Windsor said softly, "Whoever owns this dagger will be the master of the sea!" and there was a circle of words written on the back of Barbarossa's dagger. Could it be that the king of pirates in Arabian legend died in this sea, and there is a piece of paper in the box, whoever has the dagger of Barbarossa can rule this sea area and control the pirates of the Middle East Sea.
It turned out that this was the burial place of Barbarossa, where did she come from and where did she go back, Barbarossa was a hero, who had crisscrossed this sea area for more than 30 years, and once defeated the Spanish fleet.
Xiao Lang'er tried the sharpness of this dagger, he could easily cut the iron box, he kept this dagger, maybe it would be useful in the future, and then divided these gold coins among the three women, twenty each, Chunxiang and Xia He also got one, and kept the rest first.
These women are very happy to get the gold coins, but now there is no use, there is no place to buy goods and beautiful clothes, and their wish is to eat local food and wear the most beautiful clothes everywhere they go.
Through the communication with the king of Tayama, I learned the information of some pirates in the Middle East Sea.
The ship sailed to Mombasa, there are a lot of pirates in this sea, the most famous is the red-bearded Juti, known as the devil pirate, robbed a lot of property, once ransacked the two ships of the Pope of Rome, which contained a hundred barrels of gold and a lot of spices, this hundred barrels of gold are about 100,000 taels, worth about 800,000 taels of silver, this is a huge wealth, Juti heard through intelligence that the Pope sent troops to exterminate, so he hid them on a small island near Mombasa.
The Pope of Rome was furious and sent a combined fleet to destroy Juti the Redbeard, and now was the time for them to go to war, and if they seized this opportunity, they could snatch the Pope's treasure.
"Master Hou, there are ships coming ahead, I don't know if it's a caravan or a pirate!" the intelligence officer informed. Xiao Lang'er flew up to the mast, opened the monoculars, and headed towards the fleet of ships coming from afar, there were thirteen of them, all of them were very fast ships, and the speed was at least fifteen knots, Xiao Lang'er slowly saw the black flag on the ship, which seemed to be an Arab pirate.
Xiao Lang'er jumped down and said to Shi Lang, "Hurry up and prepare, there is an enemy ship attacking!" Shi Lang immediately gathered his leaders and asked to act according to orders and prepare for battle. The sailors are in position right away, the gunners are ready, the firearms are ready, the swords and gunners are ready!
Although the Arab ships were very small, they were extremely fast, and they surrounded them at once, using wolf pack tactics to bite the Daming treasure ship to death, and the other five frigates hurriedly approached.
After many actual battles, the artillery shells were not missing, accurately hitting the ships of the Arab pirates, and soon several ships were sunk, and the leader of the Arab pirates saw that the artillery of the Daming treasure ship was powerful, and quickly approached, wanting to use hand-to-hand combat, but a burst of lead bullets came, and many pirates flew blood flowers on their bodies, and there were blood holes on their bodies, and they fell into the sea with a wail.
There are more than a dozen particularly fierce pirates have jumped on the deck of the Daming treasure ship, with a sharp scimitar for a while, several sailors were cut down into the sea, which made Xiao Lang'er heartache, suddenly a blonde young man rushed out, drew his sword left and right to block the stabbing attack, the three pirates were cut in half at once, Rulan also rushed over, with a machete at the pirate slashed, under the siege of the knife gunners, more than a dozen vicious pirates were cut down on the deck, the other pirates saw that the general trend had gone, quickly jumped into the sea to escape, the pirate leader of the fleet lamented, had to drive the ship to run away quickly, leaving hundreds of bodies floating on the water。
The pirate leader knew that this fleet was not to be offended, and that he would not come to his death if he was not strong enough in the future.
Xiao Lang'er knew through this war that the strength of individual soldiers to fight with hand-to-hand was far from enough, if there was no Harlens and Rulan's shot, more people would be sacrificed, and those swordsmen couldn't stop it at all, it seemed that they had to give the swordsmen a good practice and find two teachers for them.
Now that there are two slave girls on her side, Rulan can go to guide the training of the sword and gunner, and in this naval battle, the blonde Harrens did well and promoted him to be a sword instructor.
At the end of the war, counting the casualties, our army suffered more than 20 casualties, although there were several times fewer dead and wounded than the Arab pirates, but one less of these people is one less, and it is not easy to cultivate, after all, these people can be trusted.
Xiao Lang'er gathered the sailors together," The brothers in this war are very brave, bravely kill the enemy, basically annihilate the enemy, but our sailors also suffered casualties of more than 20 people, my heart is very heavy, which tells us that we must continue to improve our tactical combat level, especially the ability to slash with bare hands, I found two leaders for you, they performed well in this battle, killed seven or eight enemy fierce pirates, that is, our Xiangxi Navy leader Tie Rulan and Mr. Harlens who has just joined for more than a month, in the future, we should learn from them and improve the ability to kill the enemy。 Today, everyone's performance is outstanding, and each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver, so that everyone can be happy. Since it was a small battle, I didn't hold a celebration party, and I went to the logistics department to withdraw the silver taels and treat myself!" Xiao Lang'er concluded.
"Hou Ye is wise, Hou Ye is mighty!" The sailors on the deck shook the equipment in their hands desperately, expressing great excitement about Hou Ye's words just now.
Xiao Lang'er specially found the blonde Hales, the Portuguese swordsman, gave up everything, followed himself on the ship as an ordinary sailor, seems to be a more honest person, has an obsessive pursuit of swordsmanship, in his own country thought that his swordsmanship was first-class, but after competing with Xiao Lang'er, he seemed how naïve he was, and since then he has made up his mind to devote himself to swordsmanship.
"Mr. Harrens, you have done very well to teach these sailors swordsmanship in the future. If it works, I'll arrange for you to be a little boss, or a personal companion of Miss Windsor. Xiao Lang'er watched Harrens's expression change, and he didn't react at first, but when he heard that he could be Miss Windsor's kiss, his face was flushed with excitement, which meant that he could follow Miss Windsor every day, especially the last time he secretly saw Miss Windsor's devilish figure on the beach of the mountain country, he couldn't let go. One of his targets on the ship may also be Miss Windsor, but Miss Windsor only worships the strong, and has little interest in the defeat of such a little wave.
Mr. Harrens glanced at Miss Windsor on the side, and left very excitedly, Xiao Lang'er looked at Windsor, Windsor ignored him at a glance, he couldn't see this little bit of thought Windsor.
