Li Hu and Ai Husheng brought back a woman, the Caucasian woman who looked like Nicole Kidman. It's really similar, the only thing that doesn't seem to be like it is the figure. This woman's figure is more material and more fiery than Nicole Kidman.

Li Xiao looked at the woman carefully, and the woman was also looking at him carefully. Li Xiao was talking to Tang Ruowang tonight, and the two did not have deeper contact except for that handshake.

"You said that the admiral named Kuichi will take the Dutch fleet to destroy us?" Li Xiao looked directly at Nikolaeva's eyes, and the eyes in the micro-expression were the most important one. By looking at a person's eyes, it is possible to guess exactly whether he is lying or not.

"Yes! The Dutch did not have a large population, and they always lost when competing with Portugal and Spain for overseas interests. Now that they have nothing to do in the Americas, they have focused on the Far East.

Because the Portuguese and Spaniards were now busy working in the Americas, they had no time or energy to come to the Far East. Nikolaeva also looked at Li Xiao.

"Alright! I believe this reason, how many of them there are. Or rather, how many ships are there? ”

"It's not clear, there should be at least a dozen of the most elite warships. There were at least a few dozen artillery pieces on it, a few hundred crew members. Nikolaeva shrugged her shoulders, her shiny white shoulders covered with a yellowish glow from the candlelight. From Li Xiao's point of view, there is a unique sense of beauty.

Especially the two lumps on his chest, he trembled twice because of the shrugging of his shoulders. Li Xiao heard it clearly, and Li Hu's breathing behind him became heavy.

The little fart child just couldn't hold the fire when he saw the woman, and this kid was only fifteen years old. You have to think of a way, otherwise the small body board will break down on the woman.

Military operations are classified, and Nikolaeva does not know the exact amount, which is also normal. If she said something whole and zero, this would arouse Li Xiao's vigilance.

"I know what you said, the last two questions. If you can make me believe in you, then you and your family will be my friends from now on. ”

"I would also like to win the friendship of the Chief Officer, and your friendship will be very precious." Nikolaeva's smile is elegant and shows good upbringing. White teeth give a clean feeling, but they also have the attribute of trust. Clean people always make people feel good.

"Why are you telling us this?"

"My aunt was the queen of England, and England did not want the Netherlands to become strong by gaining the interests of the Far East."

"Oh!" Li Xiao let out a noncommittal "oh".

"More importantly, my father owes Bobby a lot of money to them. Our family can't afford it, if the Dutch don't fail. I'm going to be a prostitute! So, I needed a strong person to help me and my family get out of this situation. I have chosen you, my lord. ”

"Why me?" Li Xiao asked with interest.

"Because ......! There is no time, three more days, oh no, two days, and I will come to Macau. When the time comes, they will be the largest sea power on the surface of the Far East. Actually, I'm telling you that I want you to escape with me and my family. That way, I can get rid of Bobby and them. I don't want to be a lowly woman! ”

"Didn't you think I'd win?"

"Oh! God, I trusted such a man. Your ship can't beat the Dutch ships, stay and fight them, and you'll die a very ugly death. Believe me, I swear by God. ”

Li Xiao nodded and began to ponder.

He knew that the sail warships of these years, the Dutch were still very good at sea in these years. They do business at sea all year round and are known as "coachmen of the sea". Doing business naturally requires the protection of warships against the elusive pirates.

However, because the Netherlands has few small people, a dozen or twenty warships are already considered heavy troops for them.

If you have a small number of soldiers, you will pay attention to excellence, and the Dutch navigation technology is very developed. The sails of the warships built are larger than those of other countries, and they are equipped with reasonable positions. In this way, the Dutch ship could capture more wind and give more power to the warship. Because there is more power, the faster the ship will be.

Of course, all this requires qualified and capable sailors. The opening and closing of each sail must be done accurately and in a timely manner. This thing can't be practiced in a day or two. At least the sailors under Li Xiao are far from meeting this standard.

The speed is not as good as others, and the firepower is also not as good as others. Of Li Xiao's two ships, only the bow had a bronze cannon, and the rest were only mortars. Closer, you can use the firebolt. It's too close to get closer, and the opponent has to jump to the gang, so you can use grenades.

But the Dutch warships already had dozens of cannons in these years, and they were far away. There will be a salvo, anyway, Lao Tzu has enough cannons to shoot dozens of shells at a time. Although the head is not good, there are always one or two shots that can be missed.

The only thing to be thankful for is that their cannons are still using solid shells. Although it is possible to damage a ship, it is difficult to inflict devastating damage. Li Xiao had already learned this when he played against Nine Ghost Jialong.

Li Xiao's brain was running at a high speed, and the ratio of troops between the two sides was at least ten to one. The range advantage is also weakened by the number of opponents' guns. The enemy ships are much faster than the battleships converted from their own cargo ships, and they will be played like turtles at sea.

What to do? What to do? Li Xiao's mind is now full of question marks, and he is at an all-round disadvantage! I can't do it myself, rely on Zheng Zhilong's pirates? Or is it more unreliable?

I have no friendship with the sailor generals here, and it is very difficult to say whether people will give him face or not.

There are so many uncertainties that only one thing can be said for sure. That is, he is about to be in trouble.

Run? Or not running?

If he runs away, there will still be hundreds of thousands of expatriates overseas. Li Xiao, who has a strong sense of the country, can hardly imagine what kind of suffering these people will suffer. The ease of a soldier does not allow him to be a deserter who escapes from the battle.

"You go back first, and I will promise to send you and your family to the interior of Daming. I will also give you a sum of money to live on. But not today, the time is set for tomorrow night. The night before the arrival of the Kuichi! ”

"Oh, thank you." When Nikolaeva heard that her family could leave Macau, she excitedly rushed over and kissed Li Xiao.

Li Hu and Ai Husheng turned their heads in unison. Jiang Chaozong's hand was quick, and he pressed the hand of the roast chicken and drew the knife. No matter who suddenly approaches Li Xiao, this guy will subconsciously wipe someone's neck.

Poor Miss Nikolaeva did not know that she had just wandered around in front of the ghost gate.

"Send Miss Nikolaeva back, and be careful not to alarm the others." Li Xiao commanded Li Hu, and Li Hu immediately agreed and walked out with Nikolaeva.

"Don't try to fight the Dutch fleet, you can't beat them." Before going out, Nikolaeva also solemnly told Li Xiao. She was very afraid that Li Xiao would be impulsive and fight to the death with the Dutch. The young man is like a calf, and he doesn't know how powerful the jackal is.

"Got it." Regarding Nikolaeva's warning, Li Xiao only responded lightly and understood. This made Nikolaeva's heart slightly relieved, and it was lifted again. Without Li Xiao's backer, life in Daming will not be too easy. After all, beautiful women are coveted wherever they go.

And she is just a beautiful woman.

"Go and ask Zheng Da to be in charge!" As soon as Nikolaeva left, Li Xiao gave instructions to Jiang Chaozong.

Not long after that, Zheng Zhilong followed Jiang Chaozong to Li Xiao's courtyard. It can be seen that it is out of a keen sixth sense. Zheng Zhilong couldn't sleep either, otherwise he would never have come so quickly.

"Dude! What happened? Seeing Li Xiao's brows tightened, Zheng Zhilong's heart was also tight. For the past two days, he has been irritable. The last time I was so irritable, I was assassinated by ninjas in the Wa country. That time, the most loyal guards helped him block the fatal stab.

However, there are still several more scars on his body.

Zheng Zhilong believes very much in the intuition he has developed over the years. This time, the uneasiness was even stronger than the last time. Zheng Zhilong also knew that he would usher in greater storms, but he didn't know if he could carry this boat.

"Dutchman......! The red-haired ghost is starting to get restless, the latest intelligence shows. A fleet was approaching Macao, and their purpose was to occupy Macao. Defeat all opponents in the Far East, then dominate the Far East and grab the benefits as high as a mountain. ”

Thinking of these years, they call all the people who come from the West red-haired ghosts. Li Xiao hurriedly changed his words, this is really not a time to break the name.

"How many?" Li Xiao obviously felt that the momentum on Zheng Zhilong's body had changed, and the hand of the roast chicken had already touched the handle of the knife.

"At least twenty, maybe more. According to the voyage, if there is no delay, they should arrive in two days. ”

"Strange! How come we didn't find such a large fleet? Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up: "I know, they didn't take the normal route, but traveled along the coastline of Cochin." Only in this way can I avoid my ears and eyes. ”

Zheng Zhilong's hand slammed on the case, needless to say that the forces he left in the strait had been uprooted.

"No! We have to go, we can't stay in Macau and wait for death. I've seen that kind of gunboat, and the whole three floors are densely packed with artillery. On the sea, our ship is definitely no match for others. Before we could get closer, we would be smashed to pieces by artillery. Zheng Zhilong's first thought was to escape!

"We're gone, what about the hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the South China Sea? Do you just watch them being enslaved by foreigners? In the future, when our ships pass through the South China Sea, we will have to pay taxes to the red-haired ghosts? ”

"What do you mean, brother......!"
