The other warships of the naval division suddenly saw the order from the flagship and hurried into action.

The entire fleet began to slowly shrink, protecting the merchant ships in the middle more closely.

This prevents the opponent from breaking through the outer defenses and entering the inner layer to destroy merchant ships.

Cheng Chumo commanded his own warship to get closer to the other warships, and said suspiciously: "How can there be a large number of unknown ships in my Datang realm? ”

A partial general said: "The general thinks it will be another wave of pirates?" ”

Cheng Chumo glared and said, "What nonsense? Who dares to be a pirate around my Datang? Impatient to live? ”

The general said: "But general, if the other party is not a pirate, why did he organize a large number of ships to sail towards us?" ”

After hearing this, Cheng Chumo scratched his head and said: "This matter is really fucking evil, and I can't figure it out to Lao Cheng." ”

At this time, the general stared at the shining eyes and said, "General, if the other party is really a pirate, wouldn't we be able to make a fortune again?" ”

Cheng Chumo also rubbed his hands and said with some excitement: "If that's the case, it would be great." ”

The distance between the two fleets kept getting closer.

At this time, the lookout on the flagship could already vaguely see the flag hoisting on the opposing ship.

He watched carefully for a while before shouting, "Sir, the other party is not flying any national flag, and it is very likely that it is a pirate." ”

Zhang Lei was surprised when he heard this.

I heard him shout first: "Continue to observe and confirm the identity of the other party as soon as possible." ”

After saying this, he couldn't help but mutter: "It's only been a year, how can such a huge group of pirates suddenly appear around Datang?" ”

A person next to him spoke: "Could it be that Haimao is too profitable and has attracted the jealousy of others?" ”

After Zhang Lei heard this, he immediately thought of the harvest of their trip.

So he couldn't help but nod and said, "Most likely, this sea trade is simply robbing money."

A broken plate of a few dollars can be exchanged for a gold coin in Persia.

A pound of tea can be exchanged for a strong slave.

Who do you say is reasoning with this? ”

The partial general sighed: "But this is also what people bought in exchange for their lives!"

Just look at the wave of food pirates we have exterminated, and you will know that they have robbed many ships. ”

Zhang Lei said: "This is the reason why His Highness asked me to escort the caravan."

As long as we exist, our Datang merchants can travel unhindered on this vast sea. ”

The general complained: "But Marshal, the escort fee we collect is far from enough to offset the expenses?" ”

Zhang Lei said: "This trip is because we overestimated the strength of other countries, and sent a little too many people. ”

The general nodded and said, "What the marshal said is that it is enough to send two thousand sailors for a caravan of this scale to deal with it. ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said: "This matter will be played to the imperial court to explain the situation, and I don't think there will be such a stirring up in the future." ”

While the two were talking, the soldiers on the lookout suddenly shouted, "Sir, the other party is flying a strange flag that has never been seen before.

It looks like a dragon's head. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Lei sneered and said: "Ignorant people, they dare to use the dragon's head as a banner.

To be so arrogant and ignorant, it seems that it is certain that it is a pirate.

Inform the fleet to be combat-ready.

Today, Ben Shuai let them know that such a sacred object is not something that anyone can desecrate. ”

After the flag of preparing for battle was displayed on the flagship, Cheng Chumo and the partial general both widened their eyes in some surprise.

Cheng Chu said to himself: "There are really people who are not afraid of death who dare to rob at the door of my Datang house!" ”

The general's eyes lit up and said: "I can't imagine that such a good thing will happen when I am about to get home, and when I rob them, I want to see how many treasures they have looted." ”

At this time, the other warships of the Tang Navy Division were already excited about the upcoming battle.

In the eyes of these people, the enemies who come to provoke them are fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The ships of both sides approached quickly, and soon reached a visual distance.

At this time, Huang Shiren and the others also began to get nervous.

The other party's ships are too big, and even the two hundred warships under their feet are only a little larger sampan compared to the other party.

He asked the military advisor beside him with some hesitation: "The size of the other party's caravan is a little too large, and the ships are also a little unexpectedly large.

I'm afraid it won't be possible to gain anything from this time! ”

The military advisor said: "General, don't panic, although our ships are small but numerous, you might as well narrow the scope and surround some peripheral ships first." ”

When Huang Shiren heard this proposal, he immediately nodded and said, "This plan is very good, although the other party has many ships, they are all merchant ships after all.

They didn't dare to hold a group to confront us. ”

The military advisor hurriedly spoke: "The general is wise and powerful, and with the general leading us, we will definitely be able to achieve a great victory." ”

Huang Shiren smiled after hearing this.

Then with a wave of his hand, he led the fleet to rush towards the warships of the Tang Naval Division.

As he marched, he also commanded his ships to divide into two routes.

He actually wanted to encircle the fleet of the sailors.

Zhang Lei, who was standing on the flagship, was stunned when he saw that the other party was so fierce.

I only heard him mutter, "Aren't these people crazy? You want to surround us? ”

The general said excitedly: "Originally, I thought that the other party would test it, but I didn't want them to be so bold.

That would be the best thing to do, and we will be able to wipe out this pirate once and for all. ”

Zhang Lei touched the stubble he had just grown and sighed: "The other party will be so incompetent, I'm afraid this battle is not interesting!" ”

The general said: "The general still thinks about how many treasures this pirate will have, and I can defeat it quickly or grab it as soon as possible." ”

At this time, the soldiers of the Tang Navy Division basically had this idea.

They didn't even think about how many men and horses and how many warships the other side would have.

All I think about is how many treasures the other party might have.

The warships of both sides approached rapidly, and the soldiers of the naval division could even faintly hear each other's shouts.

At this time, the soldiers on the flagship had accurately calculated the number of enemies.

I heard him shout loudly: "The enemy is about 5,000 people. ”

When the general standing next to Zhang Lei heard this number, he immediately said excitedly: "With such a large number of pirates, it must be a big fish." ”

At this time, the fighters on the side of the sailor were ready for battle.

Zhang Lei looked at these soldiers with shiny eyes and shook his head and said, "These gang kill embryos." ”

By this time, the sailors' ships had stopped advancing, and the warriors on board had no intention of destroying the enemy's ships with their giant bed crossbows.

Although these ships are not large, they can be sold for some money.

Now that they are about to return to Datang, everyone doesn't care about making some effort to bring it back.
