Chapter 316: An Unexpected Naval Battle (4000 Words)

Things don't always go in the direction people envision, and no one can really make a final decision, including Zhang Daye and Ye Yan.

Although they had gained the trust of the guards and found out all kinds of information about the terrain, numbers, and so on, they were able to easily find the place where the prisoners' roster and handcuff keys were placed with the help of the Banner Demon.

Even the final plan of action had been prepared and revised by the way, just waiting for the transport ship to arrive and start the operation, but the next day there was a little accident.

The drunken squad leader of the watchtower promised to arrange a place for Zhang Da and them to live in the building, but Zhang Da also refused, so as not to suspect them if something happened inside the watchtower. Besides, the accommodation for those soldiers was not necessarily better than that on the Amber.

At night, Zhang Da also kept the first half of the night, Ye Yan kept the second half of the night, and Brooke got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to replace Ye Yan, in order to keep Ye Yan a little more energetic in his actions during the day.

Brooke, the old man, said that he only needs to have 5 hours of sleep a day, in fact, it is okay not to sleep, anyway, he does not have to worry about sudden death, but he wants to keep a little more habits as a human being.

Early the next morning, the flag demons were sent out to check whether there were any traces of transport ships around, and Jin Erpeng, whose eyesight was stronger than an eagle, was the main force.

At noon, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and everyone was looking forward to today's food, when Ye Yan received a message from Jin Erpeng through psychic communication.

"There are ships coming, five to the southwest and ten to the northwest." Ye Yan relayed, "It's all coming here, but it doesn't seem to be just a transport ship? ”

Zhang Da also thought about it and asked, "It can't be that the transport ship is being targeted by the pirate ship, right?" ”

Ye Yan exchanged words with Jin Erpeng and replied, "It doesn't look like it's premeditated, but now the ten pirate ships are turning, and it looks like they want to make a profit." ”

"Is it so brave? The transport ship is the world government, right, and there are really people who dare to do it in this shabby place in the East China Sea? Zhang Da also asked, "Which pirate group is it?" ”

"The flag depicts a dumb-looking skull with a red hourglass on the left and right sides......"

……

A few kilometers away from the bridge, on the flagship of the fleet of ten pirate ships.

"Captain Crick, the kingdom on the bridge is ahead, but the admiral and admiral have just taken office, do we really want to do it at this time?" The Creek Pirates' staff officer, Edima, asked.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Crick was more than two meters tall, muscular, with short purple-gray hair and an arrogant smile on his face:

"What does that kind of thing have to do with us, do we have to be scared and tremble like that garbage? Of course not! I'm going to take this opportunity to expand my pirate fleet and become the strongest pirate group in the East China Sea in one fell swoop, and then ...... To the Great Voyage! ”

As he spoke, Crick clenched his fists, he is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, although he is middle-aged, Crick still has a dream, that is, to dominate the East China Sea first, and then dominate the Great Route.

It's just that he heard that the Great Voyage is a very dangerous place, so he should be cautious, set a small goal, and recruit another 4,000 people.

It's a pity that it's not so easy to recruit people, but it took him many years to build this pirate fleet with ten pirate ships and more than 1,000 members, and if he recruits another 4,000 people, God knows when, ten or twenty years? Twenty years later, will he still be able to hold his big gun?

Crick, who was still worried a while ago, heard that there is such a place in the Kingdom of Bridges, where thousands of criminals are imprisoned, and many of them were originally pirates!

Crick was overjoyed, wasn't this the source of soldiers given to him by God? As long as you get these people out, most of them will choose to follow him, right?

As for the consequences of doing this, after the Grand Fleet is formed, let alone being surrounded and suppressed by the navy, maybe he can attack the naval branch in turn! What kind of new marshal and new general, he may not come to the East China Sea once in decades, he is afraid of a fart.

With that in mind, Crick decided to do his thing.

The lookout suddenly shouted, "Captain Crick! Discover a fleet of five ships with a goal that seems to be the same as ours! ”

"What?" Crick was surprised and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The lookout carefully observed for a while, and reported: "It's a World Government ship, judging by the waterline and the number of troops on it, it should be a fully loaded transport ship!" ”

"Hmph~" Crick showed a smug smile, "The transport ship, recruiting so many people at once, it just so happens that our ship will not be enough." ”

Staff Officer Ediman looked at Creek's face and said uncertainly: "Captain, do you want to ...... That's the ship of the World Government! ”

"So what, anyway, when they get to the bridge, they will fight, it is better to destroy them before the two sides converge now! And we're going to rob even people, what's the big deal about grabbing a couple of ships by the way? ”

Crick reached out and lifted off his overcoat, revealing the glittering golden armor inside, and ordered, "Ah Jin, all prepare for battle, as long as the boat, no people!" ”

"Yes, Captain Crick!" A young man wearing a striped turban answered, then turned to leave, and in addition to delivering orders, he would also take the lead.

Staff officer Ediman looked at him with awe, although Ah Jin was not very old, but he was very strong, and he was good at using crutches with iron balls at the end, and all the enemies he targeted would be beaten to pieces.

It is precisely because of his strong strength, and his loyalty to Crick, his obedience, and his meticulous execution of no matter how cruel, that Ah Jin was able to take on the position of battle captain at the age of less than twenty, and he also played the title of 'ghost man'.

Crick turned to another person: "Palu, go and prepare for the defensive artillery bombardment immediately." ”

"Leave it to me, Captain." Palu confidently responded.

Palu, known as the 'Iron Wall', had a large shield in front of him and behind him, as well as a small shield on his knees, elbows, and hands, and was said to be so hard that he could withstand the cannons of warships.

In the middle of each shield is a fire pearl that he uses to ignite flames to attack enemies when he gets angry. (Whenever I see the ability of the flame system, I have to mention the burning fruit...... )

Relying on his strong defensive ability and good offensive ability, Paru's status in the pirates is second only to Creek and Akin, and at this time, he is arranged to be in charge of defense, and Creek can be regarded as a good person.

Crick gave an order, and the entire pirate fleet moved quickly, the rudder of the rudder, the cannonballs of the cannonballs, and of course, the more of the hooks, guns, and swords, ready to engage in the battle.

At first glance, the entire pirate group is fairly well-trained, and it has not been in vain Creek's years of hard work.

At the same time, the lookouts on five transport ships also noticed the fleet of Crick, who are now ...... A little panicked.

If five warships meet ten pirate ships, then there is nothing to say, whether it is firepower or troops, it is possible to suppress the pirates, so there is no need to be afraid at all.

The problem is that these five of them are all transport ships, and most of the space on the ships is used to store supplies, and the strength is just that small, if you only face five pirate ships, you can still fight with them with more cannons and cannonballs and better quality, but now it's ten pirate ships, fart!

Without thinking, the commander gave the order, and the five transports turned around and ran.

When Crick saw that the other party was cowardly, he felt more confident and chased! Five good ships are under the nose and must be chased!

One side chases, the other flees.

The commander of the transport ship soon found that his speed on his side was completely inferior to that of the pirate ships, and even if he called for support immediately, it would not be possible to arrive in a moment.

The commander scolded the madman: "How dare these guys target us? Aren't you afraid of retribution from the world government? ”

Generally speaking, a pirate group of this size would not be so stupid at all, and they can handle the smaller pirate groups at their fingertips, which is why they dare to transport supplies so swaggeringly, otherwise they would have to call a few warships to escort them.

How did you know that this time you were so unlucky and met such a madman!

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, the two sides began an artillery battle, but because of the direction and relative position of the hull, the shelling battle was not very effective.

The transport ship was firing with all its might, but unfortunately the hit rate was too low to fail, and occasionally Palu would intercept a shot with a shield, and the claim that it could block the cannonball did not seem to be bragging.

And the Crick side is deterrently firing, and the target is even more biased, after all, it will be its own ship soon, and it will be distressed when it is damaged, just scare and scare them.

The commander of the transport ship considered the possibility of discarding the supplies and speeding up the escape, and then sadly found that he had brought too many things, and even if it was too late to act immediately, he could only continue to shout angrily for the gunners to continue the attack.

As the two sides got closer and closer, the shells of the transport ship finally began to hit the hull of the pirate ship, but this was not something to rejoice, because soon the first hook was attached to the mast of the transport ship, followed by the second, then the third......

With a banging sound, the battle went to the shootout stage, and people on both sides of the ship continued to fall.

Occasionally, a 'dang' sound could be heard, and the bullet struck Creek's golden armor, picking up a string of sparks and ricocheting away, while he himself did not move, looking at the other man with contempt in his eyes.

As the captain, Crick knew exactly what he was going to do, and as long as he stood at the bow of the ship and didn't get knocked down, the morale of his side would continue to rise, and it would be even better if he promised to give as much as he could reward for killing an enemy.

In fact, he did the same, this is a transport ship, and the benefits will not be small after robbing it, so it doesn't matter if you promise a little more.

It is fitting that there will be brave men under heavy rewards, and under the reward promised by Crick, one after another pirates who are not afraid of death bite knives in their mouths and swing them with hooks.

If you are lucky, you can successfully land and draw a knife and slash someone, and if you are unlucky, you will be shot to death as soon as you jump, or you will be cut by a clever soldier and fall into the sea.

When Creek's pirate ship completely catches up with the transport, Ah Jin and the impatient pirates jump over the railing, and the two pirate ships flank a transport ship, and the soldiers are beaten in a hurry.

Gunshots, clashing swords, shouts of killing, strange laughter, screams...... All sorts of voices rang out, and the red-eyed soldiers and pirates almost forgot what they were here for, and all they could think about was 'live' and 'hack him to death'.

The pirates have a great advantage, on the one hand, they are numerous, and on the other hand, they have two generals who can charge into battle, Ah Jin and Palu.

Akina's pair of crutches with iron balls were too powerful to smash into his body, either dead or injured, the light ones broke an arm, and the heavy ones had broken ribs and vomited blood and fell to the ground.

The most penetrating thing is that this thing occasionally licks the blood splashed on his face with the tip of his tongue, and his expression is like a demon crawling out of hell, and the soldiers who fight will be scared to wake up by him, and then ...... It's even more impossible to fight.

Palu relied on the shield all over his body, and stubbornly resisted the opponent's sword and bullets, taking the opportunity to use the shield in his hand to shoot the opponent's skull.

The organic pirates will hide directly behind Paru, use him directly as a mobile shield, and then stab people with cold probes.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to be completely suppressed by the pirates, and Crick, seeing that the timing was about the same, also jumped over from the pirate ship and knocked over the commander with a punch with a fist inlaid with diamonds on his hand, declaring victory in the battle.

"Oh!!" The pirates raised their weapons and roared in excitement for a brief moment of celebration.

And when they finished counting the supplies on the ship, they were even more excited, and the harvest of this trip was comparable to that of several small villages they usually robbed.

"Alright, now clean the boat, fix the broken places immediately, and distribute all the food to each ship." Crick was still quite sober, knowing that this was just the beginning, and the main purpose of this visit had not been achieved, so he gave the order in an orderly manner:

"Ediman, each detachment will draw some people out, take charge of these five ships for the time being, and then re-form when new people are accepted!"

"Yes!"

"One more thing." Creek smiled sinisterly, "Draw a few more sides of the flag on the transport ship and hang it on our own ship." ”

Creek doesn't think his flag is as important as other pirates, and he doesn't have any mental burden to take off the flag when necessary to disguise a merchant ship or a warship to approach his target.

Ediman smiled knowingly, this was not the first time this had happened, and he was now very good at drawing all kinds of flags.

By the time Creek's order was given, the pirates were busy, carrying things, repairing ships, or throwing the soldiers on deck overboard with a look of joy on their faces.

The pirates were in groups discussing how much they would get this time and how they were going to celebrate.

At this time, they did not know that their actions had not only disrupted the plans of the group, but also disturbed their lunch.

I remember it used to be called Iron Wall...... At that time, he also complained that his whole body was on fire, and that trick was an explosion of balala energy......
