621 lost military merit at sea

These Arab pirates, who have become Arab pirates from the Arab Navy, are still very skilled in business.

The site they chose, the sea was foggy for a long time.

Such weather is undoubtedly very suitable for ambushes.

These pirates are also quite patient, quietly waiting for their prey to appear.

"It's coming!"

The shadow of a fleet loomed in the fog.

"Whew!"

Arafat called the horn to blow, and all the pirates at the top of the masts of the pirate ship untied the ropes that bound the sails.

With a few rattles, the sail fell, and was blown high by the sea breeze like the belly of a fat man.

"Rush!"

"Grab these supplies on the ship, and everyone will be able to eat and drink spicy food for a long time."

"We are brave Arabian pirates and will not back down!"

Hundreds of Arab warships, large and small, rushed towards the fleet in the mist of the sea.

As they got closer, they saw each other's flags.

It stands to reason that none of these pirates knew Chinese, but there was only one word exception.

"Don!"

Above the fleet, each warship was hung with a flag, and on the flag was the same text that appeared in their nightmare.

"Don!"

"It's the Tang Army!"

"How can it be the Tang Army!"

All the pirate ships are the wails of pirates, doesn't it say that this is the supplies of the exiled king of Wessex?

How did you get involved with Datang?

"The whole army retreats!"

"Run!"

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, you turn the rudder so quickly!"

The pirate ship that had rushed up slowed down slightly, and then planned to turn around and run.

Regardless of whether it was a merchant ship or a warship coming from the other side, they did not have the courage to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Datang also discovered them, and several small boats rushed out quickly.

This kind of small boat is usually hung on the side of the big ship, using the latest diesel engine, all steel, the whole boat is covered by a steel cover, like a melon seed.

The only openings, apart from the observation port in the cab, were a few small gun ports.

Such ships were called sea tanks by the Datang Navy.

Their mode of combat is to approach the enemy ship at great speed and attack it with the ship's small cannons.

With just two cannons on arrival, the wooden ships of this era can leak and sink into the unforgiving sea.

The reason why the clippers sent out by these pirates did not have any news back, because they were sunk by these "sea tanks" of the Tang Dynasty.

Who told them to send out all the clippers of the Arabic style?

The Tang fleet that came had long known that the Arab navy in the Mediterranean was mixed with pirates.

After discovering these clippers with a telescope, the tanks at sea approached and did not ask questions, and the other party began to flee, so the Datang Navy naturally would not be polite, and directly chased after them and sank them.

The captives who were fished up from the sea knew about the plundering plans of the remaining Arab pirates, so as soon as they met today, the Datang Navy pressed up at full speed.

Although there are more ships of the Arab pirates, they have no intention of fighting, and even if they do, they can't fight it.

The tanks at sea were two or three times faster than their sailboats, and many of them were broken before they could complete their turn.

And the trebuchets that they were proud of on their warships could not have hit the fast-moving tanks at sea at all.

The bow and arrow could only clange and bounce off the steel cover.

As for gang hopping tactics...... Where can you jump?

This vast sea has become their grave.

Unable to fight or escape, these pirates can only hold and wave whatever white objects they can find.

The Datang fleet slowly approached and tied up these pirates one by one.

I just heard that Ping Guogong said that there was a shortage of manpower, didn't this come?

The breweries, perfume workshops and paper workshops required workers to keep secrets.

These pirates are slaves after they are sent, and there is no need to worry about secrecy.

Of course, Ping Guogong will definitely not need so many people, and more can be discounted to Egbert, he is going to go to southern Africa to open mines, and he will definitely not refuse to have these slaves.

No one thought that pirates who had been rampant in the Mediterranean for so long would actually gather together by themselves and then send them under the guns of the Tang Navy.

Even the Datang Navy didn't expect that it was originally a simple escort mission, but it was actually ...... There are a lot of military exploits that fall on the sea in front of him.

After cleaning up the battlefield and capturing all the prisoners they could, they couldn't look down on anything else, and the Tang fleet headed north again.

The reason why there is no news of the Datang fleet on this road is because their ships are too fast, and those ships that encounter the Datang fleet at sea will be left behind them, how can the news spread?

When it went north through the west coast of Portugal, it still caused a lot of sensation.

On the coast of the city of Watt has been Porto, etc., were shocked by the large number of ships in the fleet.

"Whose fleet is this? Those ships were like a city on the sea. ”

"I heard it was King Egbert of Wessex."

"Wasn't he exiled? With such a powerful fleet, will it still be exiled? ”

"Then who knows? Maybe these fleets will go to Wessex and start a war again? ”

The mysterious and powerful fleet has become a topic of conversation on everyone's lips, and everyone doesn't even know that the Arab pirates that have caused headaches for dozens of European countries at this time have almost been wiped out by them.

In this way, the fleet passed through Portugal and finally came to the south coast of Wessex.

Egbert and his cronies had already packed up the things in the territory and waited nearby, although they had long known that the ships of the Tang Dynasty were very large, otherwise it would not have been possible to carry more than eight hundred people alone.

But when they saw it with their own eyes, they still felt their hearts beat wildly.

Those lords even secretly trusted their own bosses in their hearts to agree to give up the throne of Wessex, otherwise if they came hard, such a huge ship with soldiers would be enough for them to eat a pot.

Not to mention the escort warships, the rows of black hideous gun barrels on the side of each ship, although they don't know what they are, but they feel terrified when they look at them.

Tang Ping was naturally there, and when he saw that it was Qian Laosan and Luo Siye who led the team, he greeted him with a smile.

"The third master, the fourth master, long time no see!"

"Pingguo Gong!" The two of them were also excited to see Tang Ping, Tang Ping disappeared some time ago, and the two of them could be said to have plowed the waters of the Arabian Peninsula over and over again, but they didn't expect him to come to Europe.

"What are you doing...... And arrested? Looking at the Tang Navy behind the two of them escorting the strung prisoners who disembarked from the ship, Tang Ping asked curiously.
