It only took less than half an hour for the Tang Army's naval division to force all the pirates on the ten pirate ships to surrender, and the efficiency was not ordinarily high.

This is due to the excellent equipment of the Tang Army's naval division, which can be easily won when the equipment far exceeds that of the opponent.

With their heads in their hands, the pirates walked into the Tang army's steam gunboats in turn, and were inspected and surrendered by the Tang army, while a small number of wounded and killed pirates could only stay on the original pirate ship.

Nearly 100 officers and men of the Tang Army jumped into the ten pirate ships and conducted a detailed inspection of the pirate ships to determine whether there were any fish that slipped through the net, and at the same time, they also counted the results of the battle by the way.

"Li Shilang, in this battle, our army completely annihilated the pirates, captured 510 pirates, of which more than 100 were wounded, killed 36 pirates, and our army did not suffer any casualties."

A subordinate happily reported the battle situation to Ang Lee.

Li An said happily: "Very good, it is easy to eliminate so many pirates, it seems that it is much easier to open up the Maritime Silk Road than we expected." ”

"Yes! Big brother, the equipment of these pirates is too backward, and it can't be compared with our army at all, the most important thing is that our army has heavy weapons, while pirates only have light weapons, which is not a level at all, especially at sea, pirates are only left to be beaten passively. ”

Li Feiyu said happily.

"Li Shilang, what should we do with these pirates who have been killed?"

One of the subordinates asked.

Li An said: "According to the rules of the sea, after a person dies, he must be buried at sea, so throw him directly into the sea!" This is also a lot of trouble, and the injured pirates will be treated by the military doctor. ”

"Yes, Li Shilang."

The subordinate answered.

Li An looked at the captured pirates and ordered: "Bring the little pirate leader here, and this official will personally interrogate him." ”

The captured pirates were all imprisoned on a steamboat, and the leader was soon escorted to Ang Lee's boat and forced to kneel in front of Ang Lee.

"You're Black Wolf's men?"

Ang Lee put on a good shelf and looked at such a small pirate leader.

"The villain is exactly."

The little pirate leader was originally a little tough, but after taking a look at Ang Lee, he immediately became frightened, and his voice became a little submissive, for fear that Ang Lee would punish him.

Li An smiled faintly and asked, "What did the black wolf send you for?" What is his purpose. ”

"Patrol, if you find anything, report it immediately."

The pirate boss said.

Li An was dissatisfied and said, "That's all? That's too little! Tell me everything you know, Feiyu, you come to interrogate, I'll go back to sleep. ”

Since he is a small leader under the command of the black wolf, he must know a lot of things, as long as he interrogates carefully, he will definitely be able to get the news he wants, and the interrogation process must be boring, and it is best to let others do it for him.

A moment later, Li Feiyu had already interrogated most of the news, and carefully made a detailed report to Li An.

"Oh, the black wolf actually has doubts about the wolf, it seems that he is not a mallet, he is a person with a normal mind!"

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"Big brother, according to the current situation, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the wolf to complete the task we have assigned, and we can only rely on our elite soldiers and horses to capture the black wolf alive."

Li Feiyu said.

"Regardless of this, the order will go down, and after an hour, the attacking corps will march in the direction of Malacca with all its might, leaving ten steam gunboats to cover the movement of the following ships."

Ang Lee gave the order loudly.

Ang Lee's fleet, in addition to the more advanced steam ships, also some backward pirate ships, these ships are slower, it is difficult to keep up with the steam ships, if in order to take care of them, let the attacking fleet move slowly, it will inevitably delay time, and it will not be able to achieve the suddenness of the battle.

Therefore, in order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, it is necessary to temporarily abandon the follow-up backward ships, and let the advanced steamships go first, with ten steam-gunboats to cover, and the follow-up ships will naturally not have problems.

The speed of the steamship, as well as the distance from Malacca, Ang Lee had already calculated it, and set off in an hour, as long as everything went well, the fleet could arrive at the port of Malacca before midnight, and it was estimated that it could be half an hour in advance, so that the fleet could be fully prepared.

After the order was issued, all the participating ships were making intense preparations, while Li An looked at the topographic map of Nanyang and began to analyze how to defend the core place of Malacca.

First of all, the easternmost island has begun to be built, and the Longya Gate not far away must also be taken, and Malacca, where the pirates are entrenched, is a critical point, and the Tang army must be garrisoned.

In this way, the Tang army has three reliable strongholds in Malacca, which is enough to control this area, among them, Rising Sea Island and Malacca are pirate lairs, and there is no doubt that they will directly seize the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and although Longyamen is a small country, this small country has been controlled by the soldiers and horses under the command of the black wolf, and it can also be said that it is a small country that has been blackened.

Moreover, the king and the people of Longyamen were originally immigrants from the Tang Dynasty, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they settled here to escape the war, and it was completely reasonable to return to the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, if you want to control Malacca, the surrounding countries must also be deterred, in the southeast there is Sri Buddha, the country of Haling, in the southwest there is the country of Bolu, the country of Shengdeng, in the northwest there is the country of Gokuluo, the country of Luo Yue, these small countries have a certain strength, must ensure their security and stability, but also obedient, only in this way is the best in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

Ang Lee believed that as long as he exterminated the pirate group that threatened Malacca, the surrounding countries would be terrified, and they would not ignore his reasonable demands.

The tariff of 10 percent is a unified tariff in the world, and these small countries must abide by it, and the Tang Empire abides by this provision, how can these small countries not obey.

"With so many small countries around, it seems that we will have to spend some more time in Malacca."

Ang Lee looked at the dense small countries around the Strait of Malacca and felt a headache.

An hour later, Li An personally led the forward attack corps and quickly attacked the port of Malacca, while the large number of backward ships in the rear guard were left to his subordinates to command, anyway, there were ten steam cannon ships to escort them, and there would be no problems in terms of safety.

The speed of the forward army was very fast, so that even if it was discovered by passing ships, it would be too late to report to Malacca, because their speed was far from the speed of the Tang fleet, and they would soon overtake it.

Along the way, Li An and his entourage did encounter a lot of merchant ships and fishing boats, and the people on them probably had never seen steam ships, or they had seen them too few times, all of them were like looking at aliens, and they kept staring at the Tang Army ships, as if it was a huge loss to look at them less.

Li An knew that this was everyone's worship of the Tang Dynasty sailors, and he was naturally happy in his heart, these huge ships were all his own credit! Without his own design and guidance, Datang Sailor would not have been able to reach here at all.

Observing the envious expressions of the people along the way through the binoculars, Li Ang was a little drunk, this life couldn't be smoother, no matter what he did, it was smooth sailing, as if he was in a dream.

"Yun'er, beauty, come over and give Ah Lang a beating on the back and pinching his legs."

The big war is coming, and Ang Lee needs to relax so that he can devote himself to command in a better state.

In the direction of Malacca, at dusk, the pirates are going all out to prepare for the black wolf's birthday banquet, the back kitchen has entered the final stage of attack, all kinds of dishes have begun to be cooked, and people who come to worship the birthday have also begun to sit down in turn, ready to celebrate the black wolf's birthday.

As the most important wolf of the black wolf, the wolf is naturally indispensable, however, the wolf is more noble than other guests, so you can go a little later, and the last one to appear is the big name.

"How's it going, still can't you find a chance?"

The wolf looked at his subordinates and asked anxiously.

The subordinate shook his head and said helplessly: "The king, the subordinates have tried their best, and they can't find a chance to take the medicine at all, this is braised chicken legs, the king should eat a little first!" It will take a long time to get started. ”

Although such a subordinate didn't find a chance to be drugged, he didn't run in vain this time, and brought back a few braised chicken legs, after all, if he went in vain, he would be suspicious, and there was no problem with running to ask for a little food under the pretext.

"Keep it for yourself!"

The wolf glared at his subordinates angrily, paced in the room, and now he was getting closer and closer to the action, he was so nervous, where did he still have an appetite, even if it was a dragon liver and phoenix gall, he couldn't eat it.

"King, things are already like this, it's useless to be nervous, it's better to go with the flow."

One of his subordinates explained.

The wolf nodded and whispered, "You go to the ship, let the soldiers of the forward battalion be ready to respond at any time, and we will go to the banquet." ”

After speaking, he took his core subordinates and went to the place where the birthday banquet was held.

When the wolf stepped into the big tent, it was already overcrowded, and there were five or six hundred people in the big tent, and the scene was very hot.

Of course, this tent is just a name, not a tent, in fact, it is a large wooden house, which can accommodate a thousand people without pressure, and it is a place for pirate leaders to hold various grand events, and has a high status in the hearts of pirates.

The pirate king black wolf has not yet appeared, and the person responsible for entertaining is the henchman under the command of the black wolf, in order not to let the guests be lonely and bored, in the open space in the middle of the big tent, there are many dancing girls dancing, and it is a very tempting dance, pirates generally have no culture, and they like to pursue these low-level interests.

And these beautiful women, almost all of them were captured by the black wolf, the fate of these women, can be described as very pitiful, in the pirate den, they are all the objects of being played by the pirate high-level, dancing and dancing, pleasing the pirate leaders, and at night they are responsible for warming the bed, and there is no free time.

If the pirates are as handsome as Ang Lee, they will not lose, but the pirates are generally more cold-looking, many of them are scarfaces, a fierce look, very scary, it is estimated that these poor girls, seeing these pirates will be uncomfortable, but they have to force a smile, please these murderous demons, how painful their hearts are, only they know themselves, among them, some women's hearts began to twist, and became the same bad people as pirates, that is, the so-called femme fatale.

The pirate king black wolf's wife is a full femme fatale, if it is not for the viciousness, it is impossible to live in the pirate's lair for so long, she is affectionately known as the wolf poison flower, it is said that she has killed many people with her own hands, both men and women, and even, a pillow wind, can make a pirate leader head in a different place.

On the birthday of the Pirate King, this extremely important festival, as the wolf poison flower of the lady of the village, naturally has to appear, but no one will be interested in the wife of the black wolf, and they dare not do so, so as not to invite death.

It was already completely dark outside, and the birthday feast was about to begin, and a large group of uniformly dressed kitchens began to enter the big tent and put all kinds of delicacies in front of the guests.

Due to the relatively high status of the black wolf in this area, in order to reflect its strength, the quality of the meals is still very guaranteed, there are all kinds of rare dishes, and even many dishes are only available in the Tang Dynasty, and few people in nearby countries have eaten them.

Some greedy guys have already started to use chopsticks, after all, they have been waiting for so long, and the taste of hunger is very uncomfortable.

Wolf Yi has been hungry for a long time, but because he is nervous, he has no appetite, he doesn't want to eat anything, and he can't show the slightest interest in the dancing of the beauty, just looking at it with empty eyes.

If it was before, he might have been running a long time ago, maybe he would have pounced on it, danced with the beauty, and took the opportunity to touch a few handfuls, it must have been cool and crooked.

"The first king doesn't seem to be in high spirits! , what's wrong, do you have something on your mind? ”

The other group of pirate leaders who had come to see the birthday banquet asked with a smile.

Wolf Yi suddenly nervous, and explained with a smile: "The Tang Army's sailors surrendered, and our brothers lost more than 300 people, which is just a little sad. ”

"I heard that the Great King won the battle! Lost 300 brothers, but annihilated more than 1,000 Tang army sailors, very mighty! ”

Wolf Yiqiang smiled and said: "What is mighty, I would rather not have fought this victory." ”

"Haha! A great king attaches great importance to brotherly feelings! Here, a toast to you. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

The wolf raised his glass and drank a few glasses with the other party.

"The king has arrived."

One of the pirates shouted.

Then, the pirate king black wolf, holding his wife's wolf poison flower, slowly walked into the big tent, and waved to everyone with a smile on his face.

"I wish the king good fortune is like the ...... of the East China Sea"

Everyone stood up and saluted respectfully to the Black Wolf couple.

The black wolf smiled all over his face and said loudly: "You are all your own brothers, you are all polite, sit down, hahaha!" ”
