A pirate shouted from the lookout.

When the pirates on the clipper ship heard that they had found a merchant ship, almost all of them cheered up.

They all geared up and looked at the sea not far away.

Wang Shou went around to the other side of the deck and looked northwest, and found that there was a small black dot faintly at the turn of the sea and the sky, and the distance between the two sides was at least ten miles or more.

"Turn the rudder to the southeast and sail with full sails." The king's head commanded.

As soon as the sailors seemed to be working, they worked hard one by one.

Pirates are all about licking blood from the edge of a knife, and nothing is more important than speed.

Catch up, run.

So the clippers are generally used.

It is obviously much faster than the merchant ships that are not far away.

After a while, the distance between the two was close to about three miles.

"Oh, it's Hirofune."

Wang Shou squinted and looked at the two-masted ship not far away.

He was a little surprised, but soon became excited.

This kind of vessel is often used by mainland smuggling merchants.

Presumably a ship smuggled off the coast of China,

After the Tartars seized the world, they issued a policy of banning the sea.

These coastal fishermen and merchants lost their livelihood for a while.

Some were not afraid of death and, after bribing local officials, secretly built ships and went to sea.

The king's favorite thing is these smuggling boats.

The oil and water are large, and there is no threat,

After the hijacking of the ship, no one cared about the crew who killed them.

The reason why Wang Shou, a small force, was able to survive was basically to rob such smuggling ships.

"Boss, the merchant ship suddenly turned again."

Voices came from the lookout post again.

"Huh?" Seeing this scene, the king couldn't help but be stunned,

I saw that a billowing black smoke rose from the two-masted ship, and quickly fled towards the sea on the other side.

Suddenly, more than a dozen black spots, large and small, appeared behind the wide ship.

Under the direct sunlight, Wang Shou squinted his eyes at the black dots in the distance.

"Could it be a large smuggling fleet?"

Before the king could react, the huge silhouettes of the ships appeared on the sea.

Wang Shou's face froze,

"Quick, turn the sails."

He cried out,

Years of living at sea gave him an instinctive instinct.

But before a few clippers could turn, a few small boats in the fleet quickly caught up with the wind.

"Bang,"

Puffs of black smoke shrouded the sea,

Several iron bullets tied to iron chains hit the sails directly,

The huge impact force directly broke the ship's mast,

"Not good, chainbomb." Wang Shou's face sank directly.

A series of chain bullets hit the sails of several clippers one after another.

Several of the clippers slowed down as their sails broke, so much so that the larger ships slowly caught up.

"Impossible," Wang Shou looked at this scene with a panicked expression,

He has paid protection fees for several major forces nearby, and it is impossible for the black to eat the black.

And those Francophone people, the Dutch usually don't provoke them, and these foreigners basically don't trouble them.

Have you had bad luck today?

Who the hell did it to them?

Wang Shou was surprised.

But the perennial career of licking blood on the tip of the knife also made him ruthless,

"Jump up on them and kill them?" He looked at the ships that were approaching with a hideous face.

These pirates are professionals,

Seeing that they couldn't run, they all looked hideous, and they were about to jump off the boat to fight with iron hooks and big knives.

These pirates also have some bird guns in their hands, which are better than nothing in terms of poor quality.

Soon, a ship was around the clipper.

The pirates on several clippers were also simply waving chains and hooking directly to the ship,

Biting the back of the knife in his mouth, he climbed up along the chain.

For a time, dozens of good players on several clippers jumped into the warship like this.

They roared,

Wielding a broadsword,

But the whole deck was empty, as if it were a ghost ship, silent......

The pirates, who were going to jump on the ship and slash and kill, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene.

Suddenly, the whole deck suddenly fell,

Dozens of pirates fell to the second deck without reacting.

A scream rang out,

The entire second deck was full of iron nails and iron plates.

The pirates who had fallen from the splint were momentarily stabbed in the head by iron nails and bleeding from their heads.

Birds stick out of their eyes......

Seeing that there was no sound on the boat, Wang Shou was also confused.

It doesn't make sense, dozens of people didn't even make a sound.

Even if you encounter an ambush, you can't even shout to kill.

"Oh no, this is a dragon ship." Wang Shou seemed to have exhausted his strength, and suddenly collapsed.

Back then, he was the most ordinary pirate, and he had fought a battle at sea with officers and soldiers.

It's like today,

Dozens of pirates climbed onto the ship with swords and guns, but when they just climbed onto the ship,

A partition suddenly collapsed,

Dozens of people were directly pierced in the iron nails and thorns on the second floor,

After that, dozens of birds fired at them.

"Boss, Eagle Ship." One of the sailors exclaimed.

Several ships similar to his own clipper were heading towards him at breakneck speed.

Plumes of black smoke rose all around the hull.

Columns of water lifted up, as if they had eyes, and they hit him around the hull.

Looking at the flags raised by the ships in front of him, Wang Shou showed a bitter smile.

Just now a clipper wanted to exchange fire with the eagle boat that came up,

Before the pirate's bird gun was ready, the bird gun on the eagle ship opened fire.

In an instant, I swept a piece,

With screams one after another, people with blurred flesh and blood fell into the water.

Wang Shou knew that this time he had hit a hard stubble.

Fortunately, he did not resist anymore, and surrendered with a few ships of the remaining pirates.

Looking at the naval battle that gradually subsided,

Xiao Wu, who was standing on the deck of the Fu Ship, nodded with satisfaction.

These days, in order to avoid the search of the Spanish sailors, he led his fleet headlong into the waters off Luzon.

Of course, this trip he didn't just want to avoid the Spaniards.

The seas off Luzon were roamed with a large number of pirates,

These pirates have been robbing passing ships off the coast of Luzon for many years.

They fought against each other, and sometimes they united to fight guerrillas with the Spaniards and the Dutch.

It has always been a headache for the Spanish colonizers.

Xiao Wu naturally set his sights on these pirate forces.

These days, he focused on the small pirate forces off the coast of Luzon, and with his previous tricks, he was able to annex more than a dozen small pirate forces in a row.

More than 300 pirates and more than 20 warships were captured.

At the same time, from the mouths of these captured pirates, the fleet also found more than twenty small islands that could be inhabited and docked.

I have to say that this operation was very fruitful.

"You really believe these pirates." Xu Wenzhong, the chairman of the association, spoke.

He looked at the pirates who were kneeling and begging for mercy, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"We lack ships and men."

"These people have been running rampant in the waters of Luzon for an unknown amount of time, whether it is sailing or dealing with the Franc man, they are better than us."

"Pirates, know it, then they can be used for you." Xiao Wu sneered.
