On Huludao, in a cement house, Li Tianyang and Wu Daofu and a few Hongtang soldiers gathered together to discuss the next action.

For pirates, it's really a headache, in the vast sea, if you want to really wipe out a wave of pirate gangs that are slippery like loaches, unless you find someone's lair, seize the opportunity of the pirates at home, and catch them all; Or with the speed advantage of the fleet, the ability to catch up with the opponent in the vast sea, otherwise, it is really not an easy thing.

Li Tianyang is now facing such a situation.

"What the hell are you afraid of, with the strength of our Hongtang warriors on one warship against the two of them, pull them out and fight with them, let them know that they know that they know that they are powerful!" Just like Wu Jie's fighting maniac, the number one lookout of the Shark in the past, and now the captain of the "Swordfish" warship, Wu Gouzi has a thick voice, and the sturdy arm tempered in years of exercise and battlefield battles hammered it on the table, and shook the several teacups on the table for three points with a "snap".

Hearing this angry words, Li Tianyang was dumbfounded, and immediately glared at this former follower with a little lower morale, shrunk his head and smiled, and closed his mouth.

"I think it's hard for them to ride a tiger now, and it's been at least half a month since they started counting our patrol ships. In between, a few of their pirates didn't have a chance to go out to do business, even if they were lucky enough to run into a caravan sent to the door, a few of them were divided, I don't think they would have much to chew! However, Wu Daofu, an old pirate who has accumulated years, knows a lot about pirates, so he began to analyze: "Without a source of income, they are such a large group of people who eat and chew, and the expenses of just one day are not a small amount." It's not that I look down on them, but like our stupid port, a pirate who can store food for tens of thousands of stones, there really won't be one. ”

"We don't need to go to war with them, just like this, I don't think it won't be long before they will retreat on their own because of the lack of food and supplies!"

"But the problem is, it's impossible for us to arrange all the team members on the Huludao side, and it's impossible to put down the matter of patrolling and suppressing foreign pirates and consolidating power on the Penghu side every month!" Li Tianyang's sorrow is not on the pirates outside Huludao Island who have not retreated.

Since this group of pirates did not start a war to attack Huludao before they arrived, it was even more impossible for them to take Huludao in the hands of Li Tianyang after their arrival. Moreover, Li Tianyang also believed that with the eyes of these pirates, it was impossible to dare to fight Huludao at this time!

It's just that Li Tianyang and them also take this group of pirates, and there is no way at all. Don't listen to Wu Gouzi's menacing appearance, but in fact, if you really want to send the fleet out to pursue others, this ** cunning, bullying and afraid of the strong pirate also feels that it is impossible to be tough with you. Even if they take 10,000 steps back, Li Tianyang and they really have a way to let this group of pirates fight with them, but they hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, with the situation that Li Tianyang and their team were in dire need of manpower and combat power that day, how could Li Tianyang destroy the Great Wall and do such a stupid thing!

This is also the reason why Li Tianyang and their rescue fleet arrived in the morning and was not discovered by the other party's pirates, but he did not want to sneak around the rear to raid this group of pirates, but drove the fleet into Huludao openly.

"This is also something that can't be helped, who let us not have enough manpower, if our Hongtang can add two thousand, no, even if it is fifteen hundred, there will never be such an embarrassing situation." Wu Daofu sighed lightly, after all, the foundation of their team is too shallow, and now the ratio of Bengang conscription is more than 10:1, if it weren't for the fact that most of the team members were recruited by pirates, and placed in the inland of the Ming Dynasty, they would have already aroused the anger of the heavens and people!

"If it really doesn't work, otherwise let's go to the old boss for help, and let him support our thousands of people!" Wu Daofu suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Tianyang expectantly.

"No way!!" Li Tianyang categorically refused, don't look at Li De, they are developing well, but with their development and growth, their ambitions are also booming, and the small Qiongzhou has begun to be unable to meet their ambitions. Because of this, Li Tianyang would not go to his father for help as a last resort.

The bigger the team, the greater the strength of the boss, but in fact, a loose group like the pirates who are united only by interests, when it comes to interests, the leader will often be unable to help himself.

For example, last time, Li Tianyang just begged for help, and later Li Tianyang and them sent food, and transferred most of the shares of the Tanmen Qixintang camp to Li De and them, in order to let Li De use these benefits to block the mouths of his subordinates?

Now, if you really ask for more than a thousand warriors from Li De, it will not be easy to send them away when the time comes.

With the establishment of rules, the Penghu sea area gradually became peaceful, and more and more caravans were willing to pay a little price to traffic goods from this sea area to other places. Especially with the expansion of Hongtang's power, this trend is also getting stronger and stronger, as long as there are a few provinces by the sea, now more merchants are willing to take the sea route instead of the land route!

It is precisely because of this that the income of Hongtang's branch is also rising, from a few thousand taels of income in half a year ago, to now the income of just one month is no longer below four or five thousand taels of silver, and it is about to catch up with the benefits of Qixintang!

With so much wealth, which group of pirates would not be blushing, otherwise it would not have attracted several groups of pirates to join forces to want something about Yin Hulu Island. It is the pirate team under his father Li De, and now his subordinates are also ready to move, and there are many complaints, wanting to come to Penghu to find some business to do!

In this case, to pull his father's pirates over, didn't he fall into their arms and put his hands and feet into Li Tianyang's pockets?

"Far water can't save the near fire, and we're not worried that the pirates really dare to attack Huludao, at most, we can't go out to patrol for a while, and at the same time, I'm afraid that we will lose some face, but as long as our strength is still there, we are not afraid that someone will be a demon!" In the end, Li Tianyang still made up his mind, gave up the small to protect the big, and lost a little of his current interests to get through the difficulties temporarily.

"I still don't believe it, can these pirates really spend time with us? Since we are not strong enough to swallow them now, then what does it matter if we are a turtle with a retracted head, sooner or later, we will send today's shame back with interest!! ”

Li Tianyang's final decision was like a basin of cold water, drenching the burning fighting spirit of several young players present, and You Zi was a little unwilling, but he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
