Since Wu Shu's envoy exterminated a medium-sized pirate gang that day and hung his body on the thief ship to show the public, many of the surrounding pirate gangs who thought they were inferior or similar to the exterminated pirates have died down, and they no longer dare to wander around in Hongtang's sphere of influence and provoke trouble.

Therefore, Wu Shu can now be regarded as raising his eyebrows, not only taking back the territory that was previously infested by many pirate gangs, but also further consolidating their prestige and status now.

Even the caravan that was ready to move and wanted to bargain with Hong Tang obediently continued to follow Hong Tang's rules and honestly handed over the tolls that should be paid.

"I can't say that I really don't need to let God raise them anymore, lest they run the wrong way again." Standing on the deck, blowing the sea breeze with a fishy smell, Wu Shu thought deeply: "It's just that last time I ran to Tianyang to complain for help, it didn't take long for me to write back and say that the threat was lifted, I don't know what Tianyang would think?" ”

Thinking about Li Tianyang, who is younger than him, but few people can guess the leader in his heart, Wu Shu is inevitably a little apprehensive: "But reporting this good news is better than when Tianyang them come over, only to find that the matter is under control, and let them think that I am showing off my achievements, which is not good." Besides, when I went to ask for help, although Tianyang didn't say it, the disappointment in his eyes was unobstructed, and now that I have controlled the situation, I can't say that I can save some face. ”

Thinking of this, Wu Shu felt that he had considered all aspects clearly, and the benefits were always greater than the benefits when he came back from this trip, so he made up his mind that after returning from this trip to sea, he would pass the news to Li Tian to raise them.

Just as he was thinking about what was wrong, suddenly a shout like a bronze bell came from the mast hanging basket, interrupting his thoughts.

"To the north-northeast, fifteen miles away, there are three three-masted ships, which are heading at full speed in our direction, and it is estimated that they will meet in half an hour."

"All the team members are in their places." Wu Shu heard the warning and immediately ordered the team members to get ready.

It seems that today's luck is good, it has only been a long time, and they have encountered a team of maritime merchants, not to mention more, three sea ships can collect at least three or five hundred taels of silver.

"No, the Fubune on the other side has been modified, it's a pirate ship!!" The lookout suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly passed on his observations downward.

"What? This is a group of blind pirates who have come to our territory to beg for food, brothers, meet me. Wu Shu was also surprised, but he was not very worried.

There are only three warships on the other side, and their fleet has five warships, whether it is in terms of equipment configuration or warrior training, in addition to facing Yuan Laoba's most elite henchmen, they Hongtang have really not met other pirate gangs that can compete with Hongtang's fleet.

The experience of these days can be regarded as making Wu Shu somewhat understand how to deal with the surrounding pirates. The reason why Hongtang frequently invaded and attacked Hongtang's forces some time ago was that Hongtang's gang was extremely restrained from fighting with the surrounding pirates after the battle with Yuan Laoba, which made them look too weak in the eyes of the pirates who had no king's law.

And the reason for the restraint of the battle is also because Li Tianyang does not want to be too aggressive after uniting with the Penghu Sailors to exterminate Yuan Laoba and his gang, and the ideas cannot be said to be wrong, but they may not conform to the law of the jungle that this sea area believes in.

However, after the battle of extermination a few days ago, the Hongtang forces showed their muscles and strength undoubtedly, which made the surrounding pirates awe their strength.

Therefore, now the Huludao Hongtang Department led by Wu Shu, in the face of the surrounding pirates, no longer has the original restraint, but forcefully pushes back to the past, relying on the strong strength of the Hongtang Department, and is stunned to have an advantage in the next few conflicts. Although there is no more victory in annihilating a group of pirates, it is also one of the main reasons why the area around Hongtang has gradually stabilized during this time.

Therefore, at this time, Wu Shu and the others encountered a group of pirates who had invaded their sphere of influence, and without thinking about it, they forced the fleet over, preparing to intercept this group of pirates.

In a short time, the teams of both sides stopped in the sea a stone's throw away, observing each other closely.

"The brothers on the other side are those heroes, this is our Hongtang's sphere of influence, you have crossed the line." Although he was strong, Wu Shu still remembered Li Tianyang's instructions, and he also knew how to be polite before guests: "I hope you will retreat here, otherwise don't blame the sword in our hands for having no eyes." ”

"Yo, the laborers and managers have been traveling north and south for so many years, and they have never heard of which family and which household this vast sea belongs to. If you have the ability, you will kick out our grandfathers!! "I didn't think about it, the pirates on the other side were a group of mallets, obviously from the afterlife, and the words that came out made Wu Shu and the others' faces sink immediately, and they couldn't say it was ugly.

"Very good, since you don't listen to persuasion, then don't blame us for having no eyes in our swords!" Wu Shu immediately replied forcefully.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and the team members who were waiting around him immediately gave a loud command: "Prepare for battle, archers release arrows!" ”

However, before Wu Shu and their side made the first move, the opposite side had already been prepared, and before Wu Shu's words fell, there were already dense feather arrows tearing through the air. At the same time, with three loud bangs, a burst of gunpowder smoke filled the bow deck on the opposite side, and several water columns appeared on the sea surface on Wu Shu's side.

"Bang!!"

A loud bang sounded on the deck not far behind Wu Shu, and at the same time, a wave of air came from behind, making Wu Shu and the others almost fall forward.

"Not good!!" There was no need to look at what was happening behind him, Wu Shu knew that he was careless this time, and he was beaten by this group of pirates, and even the ship that was so good to die was hit by a cannonball from the other party.

There was a faint moan of warriors in his ears, and Wu Shu glared angrily, staring at the hull of the ship that was gradually turning sideways on the opposite side, and the muzzles of several cannons were about to be aimed at their fleet.

"Turn the rudder right!" Although Wu Shu was not in a hurry, he believed that with the strength and level of the sailors in their team, even without his command, they could easily avoid the other party's shelling: "Gunners prepare, give me a bomb TM back!" ”

A big battle unfolded just when Wu Shu and the others didn't expect it!

It's not easy, I've been writing on and off for so long, and today, I've finally written a million words, which is 1/3 away from my goal of 3 million words.
