Chapter 58
"Boss Zheng, who is he?" Zheng Ru threw the question to Zheng Jing again.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Li Yuxuan!" Zheng Jing stared at Li Yuxuan with both eyes.
When the pirates on board heard the leader's astonishing words, they drew their swords.
Li Yuxuan put away his domineering spirit early, and he was peaceful, but he was afraid that he would give Zheng Jing, who had just met, a sense of domineering, ignoring the changes around him, still with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slightly bowing his head to answer Zheng Jing's question just now.
"May I ask what the owner of the 'homeland' has to do here, won't he just go to the sea with nothing to do!" Zheng Jing's tone at this moment was quite unkind.
"Where, I just heard about the prestige of the 'Eagle', and I really want to see him!" Li Yuxuan's tone was still unfazed.
"Don't dare, how can the little pirate be worthy of the prestige of the head of the Li family. ”
"You are Li Yuxuan, the owner of the 'homeland'?" Zheng Ru was obviously quite interested in Li Yuxuan.
"What, you don't believe it?" Li Yuxuan obviously found Zheng Ru, who was only seventeen years old, also amused, and even joked with him.
"It turns out that the head of the family that everyone is afraid of and fearful is like this, and it's nothing special!" Zheng Ru pouted.
"Xiaoru, don't make trouble!" Zheng Jing stopped Zheng Ru's noise.
"Zheng Jing, you know what. Due to your haunting in this sea area in recent months, the 'homeland' has lost nearly tens of thousands of gold coins in commercial taxes!" Li Yuxuan put away the smile on the corner of his mouth at this moment, the expression on his face was quite strict, and an astonishing momentum approached Zheng Jing.
Sensing the amazing momentum emanating from the other party, Zheng Jing was also secretly surprised. It seems that Li Yuxuan, the head of the family, is really worthy of his name, just this kind of momentum is no longer something that ordinary people can bear, and even a person like himself who has been born and died on the cusp of the wind and waves for many years is a little breathless under his momentum.
"Originally, I ate at sea, and if there is something that dissatisfies the head of the family, please bear with me. Zheng Jing also accentuated his tone to show that he was not weaker than the other party in terms of momentum.
After Li Yuxuan heard Zheng Jing's answer, he laughed instead of anger, which made Zheng Jing and Zheng Ru a little confused.
"Tens of thousands of gold coins are not in my eyes, I just pity the prestige and manly nature of the "Eagle". ”
When Zheng Jing heard it at first glance, he immediately understood that Li Yuxuan was talking about it, and he didn't interrupt, wanting to see what the purpose of the other party's trip was.
"Conquering the world and traveling all over the world is the true nature of a man, I don't know if Brother Zheng agrees!" Li Yuxuan bowed forward slightly, looking like he was asking for advice.
"What is it to cross the world and travel all over the world, and ask the head of the family to make it clear. Zheng Jing's tone was obviously calm.
Li Yuxuan shook his shirt and pointed casually at the vast sea around him:
"When the husband is alive, he should do extraordinary things and make a name for the world. At this time, the whole continent is in a state of change, and the heroes are rising together. As the saying goes, the times create heroes, heroes need the times, and men crisscross the field, seeking the prestige of a hundred generations, and establishing meritorious deeds for all generations. With Brother Zheng being so talented, it is an opportunity to show his ambitions, and it would be a pity if he was willing to be a pirate!"
"Does the head of the family mean that we should return to the 'homeland'?" Zheng Jing was aroused by Li Yuxuan's arrogant words, after all, although Li Yuxuan had not established a country, he was faintly the lord of a country, and it was not empty bragging to say such words, but Zheng Jing, as the leader of everyone, was not a hot-headed person, and his tone at this time was still not angry.
"No, I don't agree, why do you want us to listen to his command!" Zheng Ru on the side had already heard Li Yuxuan's voice at this time, and said menacingly beside him, "If you say that you fight on the ground, I admit that he is powerful, but at sea, where are they our opponents." Otherwise, the fleet would not have been kept in the shipyard as a shrunken turtle to this day. ”
"That is, that is, unless you win us at sea, why should you make us surrender? The surrounding pirates shouted along.
"Who said that my fleet is hiding in the shipyard!" Li Yuxuan pointed to the sea on his left hand, and the four warships had already appeared on the horizon at some point, and the pirates suddenly panicked. When the battleship sailed in, it was found that it was indeed the "homeland" of the four new warships, two of which were the main battleships, with huge hulls, twice the size of the "Zhubo", and the momentum was amazing.
"Don't move, everyone, stop me!" Zheng Jing raised his hands to stop the panic of everyone under him. At this moment, a capital battleship had approached the "Zhubo", and it was Rear Admiral Li Fang who was standing at the bow of the battleship. On the building and deck on the side of the "Wave", nearly 200 archers condescendingly aimed downward, already controlling the entire situation.
"Master of the family!" A deafening voice sounded on the four warships at the same time, and nearly 1,500 sergeants knelt down on one knee on the deck, paying Li Yuxuan the highest respect of a soldier.
Li Yuxuan, who was standing on the "Zhubo" with a slight wave of his hand, immediately got up and entered their respective combat positions. Until this moment, the fleet of the "Eagle" was completely under the control of the "homeland".
"The lord of the homeland really lives up to his name, and he uses soldiers like a god!" Zheng Jing already had an angry expression on his face at this time.
"Brother Zheng, don't be angry, this is just a plan made by the generals to ensure the safety of the subordinates, if Brother Zheng is unwilling to join the 'homeland', he can leave now, and I will never stop him. ”
"The head of the family is right!"
Li Yuxuan nodded.
"Okay, if the head of the family lets the brothers go today, I, the "Eagle", will never rob your army or subordinate merchant ships again in the future!" After Zheng Jing finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to lift anchor and raise their sails, preparing to leave.
"Wait!" Li Yuxuan shouted to stop Zheng Jing as he wanted to leave.
"The head of the family wants to repent!" Zheng Jing turned around.
"I just want to say one last thing! After listening to it, Brother Zheng went to stay for himself, and I will never regret it!"
"Please!"
"I, Li Yuxuan, came here today to invite Brother Zheng in person, and I have no intention of asking Brother Zheng to surrender. As long as Brother Zheng is willing to join the 'homeland', from today on, not only Brother Zheng's original fleet will still be under Brother Zheng's control, but these four newly built warships will also be under Brother Zheng's control. ”
"What!" Zheng Ru exclaimed first, pointing to the four battleships next to him, and looking at Li Yuxuan in disbelief.
"Yes, and in the future, all new ships built by the 'homeland' will be commanded by Brother Zheng, and Brother Zheng is the supreme commander of my 'homeland' at sea. ”
Zheng Jing stared at Li Yuxuan in front of him in disbelief, and it took a while to be convinced of what Li Yuxuan had just said.
"The head of the house trusts a pirate, and can hand over command of the 'homeland' navy to a pirate?"
"Not only that, but as a naval base, the administrative jurisdiction of Bahrain will also be under your control. ”
"Isn't the master of the house afraid that I will flee with the ship, we are all a group of real pirates?"
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, and as far as I know, Brother Zheng's ancestors are also considered to be a seafaring family. ”
Just as everyone was stunned, one of the pirates suddenly shouted:
"Five warships appeared on the sea on the right!"
"It's the Evil Shark Fleet!" Zheng Ru glanced at the edge of the ship, and confirmed the identity of the other party.
"Evil Shark Fleet?" asked Li Yuxuan.
"Another pirate in this sea, the commander nicknamed 'Vicious Shark', this man is ruthless and never leaves his men alive. Zheng Ru seemed to have some opinions about this "evil shark", and her tone was full of disgust.
"This guy is not good at coming back this time, three of them are capital warships, and it seems that they are also for this batch of salt goods!" Zheng Jing looked at the sea, his face worried.
"Does Brother Zheng have something unspeakable?"
"The head of the family, this person has always been at odds with me, and this time he sent his main force to come, it seems that he is hitting the attention of me and Zheng Ru. ”
"Isn't our seven ships still no match for him?"
"That's not going to happen, it's just that the most important thing in naval warfare is command, and only by cooperating can the power of the battleship be brought into play, it's just ......"
It seems that Zheng Jing is worried that the fleets of the two sides will not be able to agree to the command well, and he is still suspicious of Li Yuxuan.
"Since I have already said that Brother Zheng will be the commander of the navy, then let Brother Zheng give the orders now! I don't know anything about naval warfare!"
"Don't dare, it's better for the head of the family to give the order, I'll just respond to it on the side!"
"All the soldiers listen to the order!" Li Yuxuan shouted to the "homeland" soldiers on the four warships, "There is a pirate fleet ahead, and now we will have a tough battle to fight, and Major General Zheng will command this battle in a unified manner!"
"Yes!" the voice was unusually loud.
"Head of the house!"
"Don't stand still, my naval commander, command the fleet! I'm still waiting to see your wonderful performance!"
Zheng Jing is worthy of being a master of naval warfare, and he can actually use two fleets that have not cooperated at all to annihilate the "Evil Shark", and although the fleet of the original "homeland" is huge, it is just a huge rookie in naval warfare, of course, the overall strength is there, and it is appropriate to win this small scene, but everyone did not expect that this naval battle could be carried out so excitingly.
First, the two main warships of the enemy side cut off the opponent's fleet and split it in two, and then the "Chasing Wave", "Chasing the Wind" and three other auxiliary ships firmly surrounded the front half of the enemy fleet with their speed, and solved the opponent's two auxiliary ships with bows and arrows and boarding dogfights.
Seeing that his side was unfavorable, the evil shark was ready to retreat, but Zheng Jing had already calculated the direction of the wind, occupied the upper hand early, and rigidly blocked the retreat of the enemy ships.
The two main warships besieged one of the opposing sides, and the remaining four auxiliary ships besieged the other, while the two ships "Chasing Waves" and "Chasing the Wind" dragged the enemy flagship "Evil Shark". At this time, Li Yuyang really let everyone see the terrifying combat power of the guards.
A total of thirteen people, including Li Yuyang, jumped several meters on the surface of the sea and flew aboard the "Evil Shark", and below it was a complete massacre. Under the attack of Li Yuyang and others, more than 200 pirates on the enemy warship either jumped into the water and fled or died under the sword. In just a quarter of an hour, the entire "Evil Shark" was already in Li Yuyang's hands, and the head of the "Evil Shark" had already rolled down to the deck at this moment. The other two ships, hearing that the commander was in a different position, immediately raised the white flag and surrendered.
All the pirates, including Zheng Jing and Zheng Ru, who were standing on the "Chasing Waves", were stunned by the scene in front of them. It was terrifying that in just a quarter of an hour, thirteen people had taken control of a battleship and had also cut off the head of the enemy commander. No wonder Li Yuxuan was able to defeat the 20,000 cavalry of Atterbury with a mere 5,000 people, and he was indeed a tiger and wolf army. Until now, both Zheng Jing and Zheng Ru have admired Li Yuxuan from the bottom of their hearts.
In this battle, Li Yuxuan made the "homeland" navy, which originally had only four warships, expand to ten warships at once. And more importantly, he has two right-hand men who can lead his fleet across the world.
