Chapter 178: Shot to Death

Xiao Ming is right, the ones who fight with Gu's treasure ship must be pirates, and there are still a lot of pirates, nearly ten fishing boats, some of which are quite large, and the fishing boats used by fishermen on this side of the Yellow Sea are generally relatively small, but the cabin is very large, and during the fish news period, the fishermen who go out to sea to fish have a rich harvest.

The pirates fled to the island, and when they saw that Gu's treasure ship did not dare to land, they ran back and stood on the beach, shouting loudly at the treasure ship. It seems that there must be people among the pirates who are very familiar with the terrain of the island, and the Gu Clan's treasure ship finally approached cautiously, and everyone looked at it with bated breath, all very worried.

After a few attempts, the treasure ship still gave up, the submarine reef here is very complicated, if you rush in, you will definitely hit the reef, the treasure ship does not dare to take risks, but the pirates at this time are happy! They started laughing and talking on the beach again, but to their misfortune, the treasure ship opened fire on the beach!

The cannon fell directly into the crowd, killing more than a dozen pirates in an instant, and these guys wept wolf and retreated, until the other shells could no longer blow them up, and they couldn't help but stand in place and jump on the spot and curse.

The two sides were at a stalemate, the Gu family's treasure ship with three Great Song Sailor ships did not dare to cross the reef beach and dock, and the pirates did not dare to go to the beach to show off their might, on this side Gu Xiaoliu looked extremely depressed, couldn't help running back and forth on the boat, and complained to Xiao Ming.

"Mr. Xiao! Don't we help? Our cannons can shoot farther, and we're sure to be able to knock the pirates away! ”

"People hide in places you can't hit, how can you fight? Besides, who says we won't help? ”

Gu Xiaoliu asked, "Then how can we help?" ”

"You go and pull out the money and call him, I have something to look for him!" Xiao Ming commanded.

Qian Baguang, the commander of the artillery battalion, had to follow Xiao Ming wherever he went, and originally arranged for him to follow the cavalry to pull the cannon back to Liaodong, but Qian Baguang said: "The lord is the god of Lei Gong's red eyebrows!" How can I do it without cannons, and the merchant ships are not without a place, my hundreds of people are just one ship, just wait for the cannons! ”

Xiao Ming scolded him: "What Lei Gong is a red-eyed god!" You're nicknamed me! You gave this red-eyebrow god last time, right? Now people call me that, and it makes me very evil! Scolding and scolding, he finally brought the cannons, the models of these cannons were too miscellaneous, Xiao Ming decided to put them all in the Weihai base for training and teaching.

Qian Baguang crawled over on another boat, ran to Xiao Ming's side and asked, "Lord, what's the matter with calling Lao Qian?" It's not going to make me shoot too, is it? ”

"You're really right, just let you shoot, how about it? Without a fixed battery, can you fire a cannon on a ship? ”

"Of course you can, this is not a problem for my old money, I have fixed the cannon a long time ago, and the current gun position is right against those miscellaneous soldiers on the island! You can tell if they are deserters! ”

"Don't brag, I'm going to shoot all those pirates' fishing boats and sink them for me, and then fire the guns after listening to the order, is there a problem?"

"Then what's the problem, you can see it!"

Here Qian pulled out the light and prepared to open fire, and the Great Song Sailor over there also discovered Xiao Ming's ship, and even sent a ship over as if it was a fellow pirate, now there are snowflakes floating on the sea, the clouds are thick, and the visibility is not good, no wonder they misunderstood, but after they saw the bow of the ship with the big flag of "gold", they couldn't help but be a little stunned, I don't know why there are ships from the Great Gold Kingdom in this sea area.

The current Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State belong to the stage of friendly diplomatic relations, but it is also difficult to accept the Jin ships, and the sailors and warships are close to send people to shout, asking if the merchant ships of the Jin Kingdom have passed through this sea area, and now the Great Song Dynasty who is entering the pirates, hoping that the merchant ships will evacuate this sea area to avoid accidental injury.

Xiao Ming asked people to bring the leading leader of the Great Song Dynasty Water Division, and the man was overjoyed to see Xiao Ming and bowed, it turned out that this person was Zhang Shuye's second son Zhang Zhongxiong, and his eldest brother Zhang Shuye's eldest son Zhang Bofen has been in charge of supervision and project management in Weihai Base, quite talented, Zhang Zhongxiong has also seen Xiao Ming, and now he is naturally overjoyed to see him.

Xiao Ming asked Zhang Zhongxiong and learned that Zhang Shuye was now on Gu's treasure ship, and it was Zhang Shuye who commanded the extermination of pirates this time, and these pirates were the same group of people who had been infesting the Shandong coast all these years, and now with the assistance of Gu's treasure ship, Zhang Shuye followed and pursued and finally blocked the pirates in the sea area in front and a naval battle took place!

Xiao Ming basically knew the rest of the things, the speed of the Great Song Sailor's warship was too slow, this time it was dragged by the Gu family's treasure ship with a rope, and the treasure ship was dragged by three boats under the powerful steam power and still chased the pirates, which showed its strong power, which surprised the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Navy!

At this time, Qian Baguang's side was ready, and sent a signal to ask Xiao Ming if he would open fire? Xiao Ming replied to them, all the cannons fired together, and they must sink all the pirate ships in the second round! After receiving the order, the artillery ran back and forth, and the merchant ship anchored to stabilize the hull, and then the merchant ship was shaken, and the cannon opened fire ......!

Cannonballs whistled and flew towards the pirates' fishing boats parked in the reef, some of these boats were quite large, some were very dilapidated, in addition to the fishing boats, there were clippers and barges, but no matter what the ships were, they were all wooden, how could they withstand the raging of the shells, they were soon hit and caught fire, and after the second round of shelling, all the pirate ships moored there were finished!

Not only Xiao Ming's people and the people of the Great Song Sailor were watching this scene, but even the pirates on the beach were stunned to see the scene in front of them, the ship was destroyed, wouldn't it be trapped on the island? Some people suddenly realized this, and in despair, they threw themselves on the beach and cried out.

But pirates also have leaders, I saw a few small leaders running over and shouting loudly, whipping these people gradually drove these people to the depths of the island, Xiao Ming saw this situation and knew that the pirates did not admit defeat, and they would definitely resist stubbornly, so he boarded the boat and went to the Gu family's treasure ship to meet Uncle Zhang!

After Zhang Shuye and Xiao Ming met, they exchanged feelings for each other, and talked about the extermination of pirates this time, Zhang Shuye analyzed: "The pirates are currently destroying their ships, and there must be only one way to surrender!" I hope that by exterminating them this time, we can at least keep the peace of our Shandong coast for decades! ”

"Master Zhang, don't be too optimistic, the pirates didn't admit defeat, they know that you won't leave for the time being, and they will definitely find a way to fight back against you!"

Uncle Zhang said strangely: "Now that they don't even have a boat, why should they continue to fight with me?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "Lord Zhang, I guess that this island may be the pirate's lair, which means that they have been operating here for many years, if you are a pirate, if you want to turn defeat into victory, what will you do?" ”

Uncle Zhang muttered at night: "Do you want to take the boat at night?" ”

"That's right, Gu's treasure ship is a steam-powered ship, the speed is fast, and there are cannons on board, this ship is a treasure in the eyes of pirates, the other party must be greedy, although their big ship was destroyed, they must still have a small boat, and the personnel have not been hit, the strength is still there, so they will definitely have action at night!"

"Well, that's a precautionary hand! \" Zhang Shuye said.

"Also, if we don't annihilate this group of pirates if we don't go ashore and let them stay here, it won't be long before they recover, and then it will be even more troublesome, so tomorrow we still have to find a way to go ashore, I came to discuss with you, lend me all your boats, and tomorrow I will land on the beach!"

…… In the middle of the night, more than a dozen water ghosts were entangled in the fishing nets arranged around the Gu treasure boat, and everyone caught them with hooks, and the sailors with lanterns and torches suddenly found that the surrounding area was surrounded by small boats, and under the exclamation, everyone shot with bows and crossbows, and the pirates shouted and rowed to the side of the treasure boat.

At this time, Xiao Ming was on the boat, and as soon as he gave an order, the tiger guards who accompanied him raised their guns and began to shoot, "Bang bang!" The sound of the guns was unusually harsh in the night, and the pirates fell into the water one after another, and the nearby dinghy carefully avoided the fishing nets, and was about to climb when suddenly someone on the boat threw down an iron lump......

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the dinghy is fully reimbursed with people and boats! The pirate boat, which followed behind, retreated in panic, only to be killed by the tiger guards who came after him with their guns, and the clever man among the pirates, seeing that the situation was not right, jumped into the water one after another......

In this night raid, because the Gu family's treasure ship made a place in advance, the pirates returned with a feather, killing and wounding more than 100 people, and they fled back to the island in a panic without even touching the side of the Gu family's treasure ship.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ming's merchant ships, Gu's treasure ships, and the warships of the Great Song Dynasty sailors converged, gathered the small boats, and together with the pirate boats captured at night, they gathered more than a dozen boats, and began to land on the narrow beach on the other side of the pirates under the cover of cannons.

The landed boat put down the people and turned around to pick up the people, the tiger guards who came down first immediately set up positions on the beachhead, the pirates sensed the other party's intentions, organized hundreds of people, armed with weapons and bows and arrows to drive people into the sea, but were bombarded by the cannons on Gu's treasure ship, and after killing more than a dozen people, they retreated, and only a few arrows shot on the beach.

When there were already more than 200 tiger guards on the beach, Xiao Ming also went ashore on a boat, and the personnel of the Great Song Sailor were also about to get off the boat and land, but they were stopped by Zhang Shuye.

After the landing, the tiger guards gathered 300 gunners, under the leadership of Xiao Ming, with rifles and grenades, and drove inland, at this time the pirates realized the crisis of the apocalypse, and finally took the risk and started the final resistance, they organized a counterattack of thousands of people on a rocky beach on an island!

Looking at the hideous-faced pirates wielding swords and axes, screaming and rushing over the tiger guards, with expressionless faces shooting with rifles one by one, the young tiger guards who have experienced the baptism of the Goryeo War have become very cold-blooded, and according to the requirements of the crossbow arrow drill code, shooting three fatal points is almost a shot to death!

The pirates were cornered, and after organizing several charges, the undisciplined and mentally broken pirates were finally surrendered, they threw their weapons on the ground, and then surrendered on their knees, first or individually, but finally under the leadership of the leader, they surrendered en masse!

So far, the entire operation of suppressing bandits at sea has quickly ended with the addition of Xiao Ming! The following is a search of the entire pirate lair, this group of pirates has been rampant in the Yellow Sea for many years, and there must be a lot of looting property, see if you can make a little more money this time! Everyone's interest was quite high.

Uncle Zhang was especially happy, he was cheeky enough to borrow a warship from the Great Song Sailor, and detained Xiao Ming's Gu treasure ship, if he couldn't exterminate the pirates this time, then this company would be a big loss! And the sailor from the Great Song Dynasty was also very puzzled! This time the water battle was too easy, they won the battle almost uselessly even the piles of bows and arrows in the rear cabin, this is something that has never happened before, why are the guns so powerful?
