When Zhao Dagui heard such news from Stark's mouth, he couldn't believe it for a while, so he asked on the spot.

"How can there be such a mythical monster in this world, it is unreasonable. ”

"What's that, the world is so big, and there are so many monsters that our British army has seen. Stark came from an ancient family, but he didn't care about these divine beasts at all:

"Our British Navy has opened colonies all over the world, and we have seen many monsters, but because they are rare, ordinary people have seen them rarely.

Moreover, there are many monsters that are secretly bred by some countries.

For example, in the United States, there was a thousand-ton beluga whale that made the navy suffer enough during the War of Independence, and like Egypt, there was also a powerful mythical beast, the Leviathan, which made Napoleon's army miserable.

Because you have only risen in recent years, you don't know these things, and the slightly older families all know about these divine beasts. ”

"And that's a long insight. Zhao Dagui nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "By the way, you said that the pirate leader is actually invulnerable, so what's going on? If there really is such a person, will the musket still be useful in the future?"

"There are quite a few true cultivators who can be invulnerable, or at least what ordinary muskets and swords can't hurt.

It's just that the number of these people is very rare, and ordinary people rarely come across it. ”

Zhao Dagui asked Stark carefully, only to understand that there are also many groups of martial artists in Europe who have mastered special abilities, generally the children of some ancient families, and through bloodline inheritance, some of the masters have mastered incredible abilities.

In ancient times, these warriors were really big forces or big nobles who controlled the lifeblood of the country, but in modern times, with the rapid development of firearms, they had a great ability to restrain these warriors, so that they were somewhat weakened, but they were still a force to be reckoned with, and they had great influence in the political, military and business circles.

According to Stark's introduction, these European warriors are divided into four levels according to their strength, such as knights, big knights, heroes and superheroes (corresponding to the first to fourth orders on the Qing side), and the pirate leader on Peach Blossom Island should be regarded as a hero according to the European division method.

Stark is actually very unbelievable to the pirate leader, in Europe, heroes are respected leaders regardless of their origins, if they are willing to swear allegiance to the Queen of England or other royal families, they will immediately be canonized as barons or viscounts, I really can't believe that a master with such strength will be a pirate on a small island, or the leader of a small group of pirates with only more than 300 people.

Zhao Dagui shook his head secretly, Europe has always admired force, and those who can be called knights are at least low-level nobles, which is very different from the East.

Besides, the number and proportion of warriors in the East should be much higher than in Europe, just look at a warrior like Lin Zhenwei who is satisfied with being a big boss of the dart game, and the leader can only know about it by plundering past merchants on Peach Blossom Island.

However, Stark is right, now that firearms are developed, even the masters of the Grandmaster Realm can resist the attack of muskets from a distance at most, and when they encounter the attack of multiple rifles at a close distance, they can only die of hatred, and the role they can play in real army combat is actually very small.

Moreover, the problem on the side of the Qing State was that the imperial court mainly suppressed these real warriors, and would never think of recruiting these warriors into the army to enhance their combat effectiveness.

Of course, these are just digressions, when Zhao Dagui discussed with his officers, he would not mention too many things about the mysterious side, but just said that there was such a monster, and there were many martial artists with particularly high melee ability on the pirate side, which needed to be paid attention to.

So, now the question arises, with the current strength of the security group, how can we deal with such a divine beast that makes the British suffer, and deal with the pirate leader who is alive and well.

Zhao Dagui discussed with his subordinates for a long time before discussing a relatively feasible plan, and the actual effect had to be verified by actual combat.

However, this discussion gave Zhao Dagui a feeling of living in a myth, just like the heroes in Greek mythology, who wanted to go to sea in a group and hunt huge mythical beasts that caused trouble to their neighbors, aren't all such plots in Homer's epics.

The Yaki Snake is certainly a powerful giant beast that would have been difficult to deal with hundreds of years ago, but now, it is no longer a super monster that can only be dealt with with by the power of the whole country.

The British only suffered the loss of insufficient intelligence last time, and they suffered a loss because they had fewer troops, and if they had made sufficient preparations in advance, they would never have been suppressed by a mere divine beast.

The security regiment has not been established for a long time, and now it does not have the momentum of self-esteem necessary for a strong army, but under the strong pressure of Zhao Dagui, it can only suppress all fears and prepare to go to sea to hunt divine beasts.

In the midst of everyone's nervousness, a few days later, the security team finally prepared to go out to sea to attack Peach Blossom Island and hunt the Yaqi snake at the same time.

This time, the security regiment was dispatched again, and seven warships conquered Peach Blossom Island.

It's just that, knowing the particularity of this battle, the warships have made some changes.

The security group's attack on Peach Blossom Island this time was still the same routine as before, and the three ships went to the shore to pour artillery fire to clear the obstacles for the next landing step.

The pirates had fought the British once, and understood that there was no point in holding on to the shore with shells at this time, and that they would only be torn apart as live targets, so they did not stay on the shore, but retreated to a safer rear.

In fact, the pirates' artillery firepower was extremely lacking, with only four Chinese guns, and the range and power were not satisfactory, and they could not fight against the security regiment at all.

To make matters worse, the pirates also had a serious shortage of small arms, with only more than thirty muskets and forty or fifty archers, and the rest were all cold-armed troops armed with broadswords and spears.

To be honest, such a weapon is not weak among pirates, but when it comes to a real army, there is no chance to fight back, whether it is the British army or the security regiment, there are countless ways to rub them to death.

Therefore, the last time the British army suffered a loss was only because of insufficient intelligence, they did not expect that the pirates would hide such hole cards as divine beasts, and in that case, the British army only lost dozens of soldiers who were too advanced, and the main force did not suffer any losses, and finally retreated.

Moreover, the security regiment adopted almost the same tactics as the British army at the beginning, turned the warships sideways to block the harbor, and then sent small boats down, rowed to the shore, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no resistance on the shore, quickly went ashore and built defensive positions and batteries.

In the process, the pirates kept shouting and even making the appearance of coming and assaulting, but to no avail.

The security regiment is equipped with rear-loading rifles, and the effective range is between 200 and 400 meters, while the range of the pirate's artillery is between 100 and 300 meters, and it is good that muskets and bows and arrows can hit 100 meters.

What's more, several warships are still eyeing each other, and the military artillery on these warships has a maximum firing range of 1,900 meters, and an effective firing range of about 1,200 meters, even if there is a certain distance between the warship and the army on the shore, it is enough to cover the pirate artillery or other long-range troops that are close to a certain distance.
