Chapter 148: Clearing the Pirates

"Boss, this can't be done, the rest of the pirates will definitely do the same, rescue some people, these are fine, but what about those treasures and pirate ships? We can't all drag it back, can we? Now dragging these hundreds of boats, we are already at the limit. ”

Liu Renliang discussed the next matter in Li Yong's cabin, because the remaining four pirate dens are not big pirates, after beating them, the task of clearing out the pirates is completed, and the remaining pirates can be handed over to the coastal patrol team established in the future to deal with, their fleet still has more important things to do, these captured pirate ships, transform them, some will become merchant ships, some will become warships, and some will become fishing boats, these ready-made ships, how can Li Yong let them go, and there are just the treasures found by the hell demon pirate group, Roughly calculated, two admirals can be built, but what Liu Renliang said, Li Yong also has a headache, because as he said, three ships pulling hundreds of jumping ships is already the limit, and this is still the control of the captured pirates to open the ship, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least a hundred ships in the back, and it will also rescue the people who were kidnapped, his main ship has been inhabited by thousands of women, and if it is saved, the marines of Xishan and Huating will definitely all move to other places, if there is no protection of the marines, if something goes wrong with the return, this behavior is like stripping naked and exposing yourself to the enemy, what to do? Li Yong thought of this problem when he was on the island.

"It's really not possible, let's let the marines stay behind to take care of it, because we have nautical charts, first bring back these ships, and then give up the vacated space to the people, and after returning to the base, send ships over to bring the remaining things and boats back."

Li Yong decided helplessly, indeed the current situation can only do this, Liu Renliang did not object, because he also wanted to solve it at one time, but the reality does not allow it, and it can only be done in this way, so there is a very strange phenomenon on the sea, that is, the three giant ships use a cable to string the day and day boats, lined up in three long long queues, and although the pirate ships behind are operated by pirates, there are dozens of marines on each ship, and of course, there are also people who are not afraid of death. Naturally, they all became the ghosts of the marines, but if they resisted, they were executed on the spot, and these pirates who were doing things were killed, the marines were very ruthless, as long as one person resisted, these people had to die, and even sat down so that these pirates did not dare to resist, and some even reported who wanted to do things, the marines killed two or three groups of rebellious pirates, and the pirates behind were all obedient, driving the ship and cleaning the deck seriously every day. The next destination in the island of the Hell Devil Pirate Group is very far away, and it takes four days to reach it according to the voyage, because of these burdens, Li Yong's fleet can't get up fast, and it takes six days to arrive, the strength of this group of pirates is naturally not as good as the previous two pirate gangs, and there are more than 20 ships, and the news on the sea is not well-informed, when these pirates are exterminated, they are all drunk, and the steel knives of the marines are put on their necks and they don't know, and they easily capture all these drunken pirates, The battleship didn't even fire a single shell, the special combat team easily touched it, solved all the sentry patrols, and then the marines, under the guidance of the special combat team, attacked the cave, and found that the pirates inside were sleeping crookedly, and the wine jars were everywhere, Yu Xian asked the soldiers to tie up all these drunkards and throw them into the cave and imprison them, after the fleet quickly replenished the supplies, left a hundred marines and continued to set off, the ship and all the supplies on the island could only be temporarily placed here, and they came back to get them, This island was easily taken, and the next fourth target encountered stubborn resistance, which made Li Yong and them unexpected, which also made the rescued people finally see how powerful the officers and soldiers who saved themselves were.

"Xishan Huating outflanked the past, sank all those pirate ships that drove out, and the marines landed quickly."

"Boom~Boom~" The three battleships fired violently, hitting the pirate ships on the sea full of holes, several pirate ships that wanted to get close to each other were directly scrapped by chain bullets, losing power to spin on the sea, due to the rescue of a large number of civilians, the marines had already given up the positions of Xishan and the Admiral, respectively, on the captured pirate ships, so there was a problem with the landing and assembly, not that they didn't want to be fast, it was too scattered, Yu Xian had already done his best to command, it was almost half an hour, and his troops were only half assembled, The troops who landed behind were still at sea, which made him worry to death, originally they also wanted to sneak attack this wave of pirates, who knows, this island is composed of several small islands, the navy that is not familiar with the environment has just arrived in this sea area and was discovered, how can it be possible not to be discovered, more than 100 ships, as long as they are not blind, they can be easily found, Li Yong naturally knows such a situation, so he can only let the fleet keep it as hidden as possible, but no matter what he does, it is impossible to do it, this wave of pirates seems to be very smart, and make full use of the geographical environment, Their ships are scattered on various small islands, when Li Yong's fleet approaches, those pirate ships will surround them in all directions, if they did not drag these captured pirate ships in the past, the three warships can use their superior maneuverability to drag these pirate ships to death, but not now, because those pirate ships still have their marines who need their protection, all can only be hard-hitting, the guns on the sides of the three battleships on both sides of the ships are all open, full fire, For the first time, the people on the bed finally felt what it meant to be shocked, and they kindly felt that the ship they were on vibrated violently and loudly, although they were told by the sailors to open their mouths wide to protect their ears, and they did so, but the power of the all-round fire of the artillery was too great, and their ears were buzzing, and many of the bold ones were still looking at the round window made of bulletproof, and they were suddenly surprised by the situation outside, and white smoke was emitting from both sides, and with each loud noise, they saw a series of fires lit up from their own ships, There are dozens of large and small pirate ships on the sea, but when they are hit by the shining things of their own or other warships, they either stop in place directly or break directly, many pirates who they hate are in the sea water, those cannonballs that roar past hit the pirate ship is sawdust flying around, the ship's plank is directly smashed out of a big hole, the mast is broken like rotten wood, and there are those that fall on the sea surface that have not hit, and one after another water column rises into the sky, so powerful, what is this? The men and women rescued on the ship were very curious, but they were happy to see their ship beat those pirates to the ground, and they couldn't help but think of themselves as one of them, and in the cockpit of the Admiral, Li Yong took a telescope to quickly search around.

"Why haven't the Marines finished assembling yet?"

"It's too scattered, Yu Xian has done his best."

"I don't want to listen to any efforts, order Yu Xian to give him another two quarters of an hour to complete the assembly, if he can't do it, he, the commander of the Marine Corps, will not do it."

"Yes."

Liu Renliang saw Li Yong's black face, knowing how bad his mood was for the boss, he thought, Yu Xian, what are you doing, it's almost an hour, and he hasn't finished assembling yet, no wonder the boss is so angry, he hurriedly issued an order to the signal soldiers, and the signal soldiers hurriedly waved the flag to the communication soldiers on the shore, when Yu Xian received the order from the fleet, he was also angry with his subordinates, no, go back and practice, you must practice.

"Order Xishan to suppress the fire on both sides of it, Huating to cover Xishan, and the Admiral to cover the island with fire, and wait for the marines to assemble and advance, and extend the artillery fire to cover them."

The three warships no longer sailed, because they were still dragging the captured pirate ship behind them, and they couldn't do it if they wanted to, so they simply stopped to form a ladder type and covered each other, fortunately, those pirates only had more than forty ships, and the weapons on the ships were the common winch crossbows and sailors' bows and arrows, they were still traditional springboard combat, and Li Yong's navy was attacked with powerful firearms, coupled with a strong hull, those winch crossbows could not cause actual damage even if they were concentrated on their ships, and those pirate ships that had approached, began to throw the hook rope and the springboard to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, but when they hooked Li Yong's battleship, a small tiger squat gun on the deck was aimed at them.

"Ready."

The tiger squat cannon has been loaded with terrifying shotguns, and the sailors have also raised their muskets to aim, just waiting for those pirates to come over, those pirates are wielding the knives and guns in their hands, and even some are still shooting this bow and arrow to suppress the navy on the deck, but the accuracy is too poor, only a few unlucky sailors were shot in the arm or something, the left and right sides of the three warships have been hooked by the hook rope of the pirate ship, and they are getting closer and see that they hit both sides, and the commander on the deck immediately ordered.

"Fire~"

"Bang~Bang~" "Boom~Boom~" Tiger squat cannon and musket fired at the same time, those pirates who were ready to springboard were swept away in an instant, and all the pirates on the side of the ship were like ears of rice overwhelmed by the wind, and their bodies were beaten into a hornet's nest and flew away, and the artillery in the artillery compartment below also fired at the same time, instantly punching hundreds of dozens of holes everywhere in front of the pirates, so close to each other, it was simply looking for death, six pirate ships ready to fight on the springboard were directly torn to pieces, and one of them directly broke off two petals from the middle and sank directly, Although the others are not as miserable as this one, they were directly pushed away by the impact of the artillery, and then the hull desperately entered the water, sinking little by little, how terrifying the firepower of Li Yong's battleship was, these pirates now know, more than forty pirate ships besieged for nearly an hour, but they didn't shoot down these three battleships, so why didn't they fight the pirate ships that were dragged behind, that is, these pirates are too smart, they all know that these ships are captured, there is nothing on them, and they have such a smart idea, Otherwise, the marines above would have suffered, at this time, the hulls of the three battleships had been filled with crossbow arrows shot by the winch crossbows, but the thick boards of the three battleships, those powerful crossbow arrows were only inserted in the board, and did not pierce, but the pirates had been sunk and scrapped more than 20 ships, and the dozen or so pirates under them had stopped continuing to fight on the springboard, but they shot arrows at Li Yong's warships in a distant movement, which made the battleships that stopped sailing unable to adjust the angle to attack them, Li Yong in the cockpit was very anxious, If they didn't put all the Marines down, they wouldn't be able to get out of their way to pack up the pirate ships, and just when he was anxious, the communications officer finally brought him the long-awaited news.

"Report, the Marine Corps has completed the build-up."

", the landing is finally over, put down the tow rope, and order the remaining marines to keep an eye on the pirates on those ships, Xishan Huating began to pursue those pirate ships, and we will provide fire coverage to the marines along the coastline and fire support to the frigates."

When Li Yong heard the news, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, he didn't expect to fight such a pirate group, it was so thrilling, fortunately everything was under control, Yu Xian also lived up to his expectations, quickly completed the landing, let go of the hands and feet of the fleet, and after receiving the news from the main ship, the sea warships cut all the cables that dragged the ships behind, and then rushed towards the pirate ships like a dragon going to sea.

"Full sails, artillery for Lao Tzu to aim, I want these pirate ships to die, dare to shoot so many arrows from my big baby, kill them."

"It's finally time to get started, baby, daddy has avenged you, adjust the sailing, and sail at full sail."

The two captains of Xishan and Huating have been passively beaten for so long, and their precious battleship was shot like a hedgehog by the arrows and crossbows of these pirates, so how can they not be angry, these captains have long regarded their warships as their lovers or daughters, and the fate of those pirates will be tragic, the two crazy frigates are frantically harvesting those pirate ships, and the land marines under the cover of the admiral's artillery have been attacking the pirates' base camp, and the whole battle has taken more than three hours in total, The sea is full of broken ship planks and dead pirates, and some pirates are calling for help, but in exchange for the deadly lead bullet of muskets, now they don't need these prisoners, the navy is already overcrowded, those pirate ships that have lost power have all been sunk by the navy, not a single one is left, these unpowered ships are too difficult to pull back, and it is better to build a new one to repair, so the pirate gang here more than forty pirate ships were all sunk by the navy, and all the pirates only captured more than a hundred people, The rest of the pirates who were injured or something, were directly shot by the marines, and the information obtained in the captives, the marines spent another day clearing all the pirates in the hiding places of the island, so that they could clean up here, because the cleaning here was too clean, and there were not many people rescued, so Li Yong asked Jean to empty all the places, and then left directly, the last two pirate dens belonged to the small pirates, as soon as Li Yong's fleet arrived, they surrendered directly, and Li Yong also put a hundred marines in each place, and then prepared to return, Because it has been almost a month since he came out, Huating County still needs the protection of the fleet, and he can't wave it outside anymore, plus so many people have to be sent back to the land for resettlement, which makes him dare not continue to take risks.

"Every day after breakfast, return home."

"Yes."

Li Yong issued an order to return home, and the navy who came out for a month also thought about their families on the land mountain, and this time they came out to clear out the pirates, which could be regarded as frightening and dangerous, and successfully completed the set combat objectives.
