Sure enough, not out of Wu Daofu's expectations, on the third day after Li Tianyang and them arrived, looking at the more than 20 warships docked at the dock on the island without taking a step out of the locked gate, the pirates finally retreated!

Of course, Yuan Laoba is very unwilling, but what is the use of being unwilling? He is no longer the overlord of the side who responded to every call and had thousands of troops, and now he is just a down-and-out pirate with more than a thousand remnants of defeated and displaced soldiers.

But after this agitation, Yuan Laoba finally stood up again, with a goal of struggle, before leaving, looking at Huludao, which once belonged to him, his eyes exuded raging anger and fighting fire, although he did not leave any angry words, but the determination and fighting spirit in his eyes infected a group of henchmen around him!

Several other pirates, but there is a lot of pain in their hearts, this time everyone joined forces to send troops, thinking that the territory was captured, but where did they think that they only fought one zhang, wiped out only two or three Hongtang warships, and then found nothing, and finally had to withdraw because the grain and grass prepared by everyone in the past were exhausted.

Looking back, if you want to say that you don't regret it, of course it's fake, but it's normal for several pirates to join forces, and everyone has a lot of concerns about each other. Originally, Huludao was empty, and the great opportunity was wasted because of everyone's elbow control between each other. When the reinforcements arrived, everyone was unwilling to send the brothers in their hands to death because the other party's strength was not weak and they had the advantage of geographical advantages, even if Yuan Lao pointed to the sky and said that he would take the lead in attacking, the other families finally shook their heads and gave up their plans to attack Huludao.

Since they couldn't be encircled, they couldn't fight, and in the end, everyone broke up and went back to the nest with their respective teams.

"A rabble!!" Lao Yi stood beside Yuan Laoba, looked at the other pirates who were gradually moving away, and said with disdain.

"Everything else is fake, only when our own strength becomes stronger, can we repay this hatred of seizing the island!" Yuan Laoba also sighed deeply, after this difficulty, the Yuan Laoba who was devastated by the prosperous and wealthy life was gone, and standing in front of Lao Yi was vaguely the hero who looked at the South China Sea and created a large foundation twenty years ago.

"The big boss is right, only our waist is hard, and joining forces with such a group of forward-looking guys is really falling into our name!" Yu Laoyi was a strong man standing behind Yuan Laoba together, talking murderously, the heavy mountain axe in his hand swaying with his arm, but it was Li Jin, a henchman and thug who had been following Yuan Laoba for many years.

The final departure of the pirates did not surprise Li Tianyang's expectations, and with the resolution of the Huludao crisis, Li Tianyang and them finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"Uncle Wu, give you seven warships and seven company members to sail and patrol along the southeast direction; Wu Shu, I will also give you seven warships and full crews, and you will patrol me along the northeast direction; And I, with eight warships, will patrol to the east, and we will not let go of an inch of the territory we occupy. ”

"I demand that anyone who dares to provoke us Hongtang on this route, whether it is a caravan or a pirate, be annihilated by me; If the strength is not enough to annihilate, you must try your best to keep me, send out a signal, send a fast boat, and we will be there immediately! ”

The pirate had just left for a day, and Li Tianyang began to transfer troops to punish the generals, preparing to make up for the prestige lost under the pirate's harassment this time.

Although Li Tianyang's decision is not wrong strategically, in terms of impact, losing two warships in World War I, and then defending Huludao and not fighting with the pirates, this is a very weak posture in the eyes of the pirates and maritime merchants, and they can't help but have some other thoughts.

In view of this, Li Tianyang issued such a murderous order, which was to show outsiders the strong image of Hongtang and restore some of Hongtang's prestige.

Now that the pirate coalition has left, I believe that there is no force that dares to fight and can fight Huludao in a short period of time, so at this time, don't look at the fact that this war has just passed, and the crowd is fluctuating, but in fact, it is also the safest time in Huludao, how could Li Tianyang, who is here, not think of taking this opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys.

In an instant, Huludao, which had been quiet for nearly a month, was crowded with people, the sails of the warships on the sea were floating high, and the more than 20 warships on the dock, except for a few watchmen, gathered into three teams, and under the leadership of Li Tianyang and Wu Daofu, they sailed towards their respective directions.

A month later, the three fleets changed the clean and tidy hull they had when they went to sea, and rushed back to the Huludao dock one after another with the vast smell of gunpowder smoke and the traces of knives, axes, shells, and crossbows scratches everywhere on the side of the ship.

This time, when I went to sea, as expected, there were small groups of pirates who slipped over from the depths of the Ryukyus to fight the autumn wind. They didn't expect that the Hongtang warships, which had always been restrained in the past, would not care about the three-seven-twenty-one this time, as long as the Hongtang soldiers bumped into someone who dared to collapse the area to commit crimes, the Hongtang soldiers who had been holding back their murderous spirit and fighting spirit were like tigers, chasing those pirates everywhere.

The three roads have their own gains, except for Li Tianyang East Road and Wu Shu, they only encountered a group of small pirates on the southeast road, but only one or two small pirates, and they easily caught up and destroyed them.

Wu Daofu's northeast road encountered two groups of pirates in a row, in addition to one of the pirates with five warships, because of their equal strength, they finally escaped by three warships, there is also a group of pirates with one warship, the number is only seventy or eighty, three times five divided by two, a group of young men to kill!

After the harvest of this patrol, Li Tianyang and them can be regarded as pulling back some of their suppressed prestige.

"Uncle Wu, Huludao will be taken over by you in the future, but the manpower given to you is only two thousand, you not only need to use this manpower to patrol and defend this sea area that belongs to us, but also organize the manpower and start to clean up the unscrupulous pirates around and suppress their arrogance!" After all the manpower returned, Li Tianyang held another meeting to arrange the next actions.

Hearing Li Tianyang's arrangement, Wu Daofu glanced at Wu Shu, and then said: "Little Wu Shu is actually not bad, or I will give him a hand and come up with ideas!" ”

looked at Wu Shu's slightly pale face, although at first, because of Wu Shu's mishandling, the pirates noticed Hongtang's weakness in the Ryukyu area, and then began to consciously test outside Hongtang. Later, whether it was to make a plan to encircle and annihilate a group of pirates, or to block the news and sing an empty city plan, in fact, Wu Shu did a good job.

But in the end, Li Tianyang still shook his head: "Wu Shu has merit and history, but the environment around the Ryukyus is complicated, and you are more experienced. ”

"As for Wu Shu, I want him to swap positions with you, and at the same time let Uncle Xingdou help him to get started, check the checks, and hone his life!"

The sudden turn of events made Wu Shu, who was originally a little down, suddenly light up again, and looked at Li Tianyang excitedly, not caring at all about being transferred from Huludao to Bengang, but there were a lot fewer people on his hands!

"Yes!!" Wu Shu stood up straight and shouted resolutely with a look!

"When you go back to Bengang, the task is not light, in addition to patrolling and suppressing the pirates near the Penghu Sea and collecting the fees for passing ships, there is also a task, which is to help Brother Wu Hu start to build the five dock forts that have been demarcated ten miles east of our Bengang in advance, and clean up the remnants of the indigenous rebels in the surrounding area!" Li Tianyang looked at Wu Shu, his mouth was stern, but his eyes were full of expectation and asked, "Are you confident?" ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!!"
