Chapter 362: The Pirate's Pursuit
Silva let out a long breath and exclaimed, "God forbid, we avoided those vicious pirates!" ”
Murong Longcheng snorted: "Not necessarily, it is really safe to stay on the shore." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Silva shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands outstretched: "Captain, you're always so careful. ”
The fleet had been traveling for an hour or so, and the coast of Guangdong had disappeared from the sea level, and the two warring pirates had long since disappeared from sight, except for the sound of the waves, the sky and the earth were silent.
Murong Longcheng came to the stern of the boat and looked in the direction he came from a distance.
Bor suddenly stood beside him and asked, "But are you worried about Liu Xiang and Zhu Cai's old people?" ”
Murong Longcheng nodded: "If they are evenly matched, then we will be safe." But when I passed there, I saw that there were two more ships flying the Liu Ziqi, and they had the upper hand, and the old people of Zhucai supported it for an hour at most. ”
Bor had no doubts about his judgment: "So at this time, the winner has been decided?" ”
"Yes. If Liu Xiang's subordinates didn't hurt their vitality, they would definitely catch up, we have ten brand-new Guangzhou ships here, how could the pirates let them go easily? ”
"So do you want to inform and get ready?"
"Don't notify for the time being, so as not to cause panic, so let's improvise." Murong Longcheng very much hoped that his judgment was wrong.
But the heavens did not fulfill the wishes, and after another hour, a few black spots appeared in the distance on the sea level, and the speed was faster than that of the fleet here, and gradually approached.
The sailor on the lookout sounded in the fight: "There is a ship chasing us!" ”
There was a commotion on the boat, and Silva covered his forehead in pain, groaning exaggeratedly: "Captain, can you not guess so accurately." ”
There were four or five pursuing ships, and as the distance approached, the big "Liu" character on the flag was faintly visible.
The people on the "Bo Fu" were okay, but the ship boss and sailors on the Guangzhou ship began to panic, and in the waters of Guangdong, the "Liu" flag was Liu Xiang nine times out of ten, he was the biggest pirate leader in Guangdong, and he was pursued by his men, so it was strange that he did not panic.
"Whether to fight or retreat, you have to have an idea, master." The situation was urgent, and Bolhu used his old name again.
Murong Longcheng fell into deep thought: if you face the battle, one small ship will deal with five pirate ships, and you will have to protect ten unarmed civilian ships, it will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated, and there are not many sailors on the "Bo Fu", if it is approached by pirates to engage in a broadside battle, it will be at an absolute disadvantage, and there will be no bones left. If you retreat, you will have to abandon the ten slower ships, but in this way, will you stay in the Qiongzhou camp after escaping?
The pirate ship is getting closer and closer, and it is only a few nautical miles away from the last wide ship, and at the speed of both sides, the two pillars of incense will catch up after that.
There was no time to think about it, so Murong Longcheng decisively ordered: "Send someone to inform all the people on the Guangzhou ship to flee to the first Guangzhou ship and abandon the remaining nine ships!" ”
Bol was taken aback and gave up nine ships to the pirates, although he could buy time to escape, but what was the point of keeping one ship? He persuaded: "Childe, since you want the strong man to break his wrist, it's better to simply order, forget about the ten ships, and we won't go back to the Qiongzhou camp, the world is so big, where can we go?" ”
Murong Longcheng took a deep breath: "Bolhu, you are an eagle soaring in the grassland, will you be afraid of fighting?" We can't run away when we encounter something big about Sesame, so we should go and give the order quickly. ”
Suddenly Bor went down to deliver the order.
The first Hirobune following the "Hirofuke" received the information and passed it to the ships behind it. The captain of the second Hirobune lowered his sampan and rowed desperately to catch up, and in order to meet them, both the "Hirosuke" and the first Hirobune lowered their half-sails and slowed down.
The people of the third and fourth boats also drew scoops according to the gourd, and the boats behind them abandoned the ship of their own accord without receiving the order to pass it on. The sailors of the last ship did not even have time to put down their sampans and jumped into the sea and swam over.
Before everyone could flee the ship, the pirate ship had already approached, and the pirate with a sword jumped on deck and slashed several of the sailors who were slow to escape. The person who jumped into the sea was no better, someone was pushed by the waves, hit the bottom of the wide ship that lost control in front of him, and sank to the bottom of the sea with a bang.
Seeing this, Bol suddenly asked, "Master, this will not save everyone, and most of those who jump into the sea will die." ”
Murong Longcheng said coldly: "Did I say it was to save people? ”
Bor was stunned: "That's ......"
"I ask you, what will the pirates do if I don't give up these ships?"
"Of course it's to launch an attack, kill people and seize ships!"
"What if these ships are taken away easily?"
Bor thought for a moment and replied uncertainly: "Take control of these ships and bring them back as trophies?" ”
"That's right, if the valuable things are in my hands, they will come and grab them, I will throw them directly, their first reaction is to pick up things, and after the things are picked up, they will become theirs, and these boats will not be our burden, but will become a rope that binds their hands and feet."
Bor scratched his head, still not understanding: "The subordinates still don't understand, what's the difference between this and directly abandoning all the ships?" ”
"Keep a boat and let everyone escape to it so that someone will help us get the ship back to Lingao." The corners of Murong Longcheng's mouth rose, "Pass the order, after the pirates have taken control of the nine ships, we will turn around and attack!" ”
Bol was shocked: "Huh? ”
Zhang stood at the bow of the boat with his big head, smiling and looking at the several large ships that had lost control and were floating on the sea.
He is a small shopkeeper under Liu Xiang, today is really called the head of good luck, in the Pearl River estuary met Zhucai old men to transport grain back to the nest of a few ships, after a hard battle, killed all the opponents, captured the whole three boats of grain, 50,000 catties, and then caught up with the passing fleet, almost ten new Guangzhou ships are about to arrive, this time full of loads, the big dragon head (Liu Xiang) will definitely reward himself, maybe he will be promoted to the big shopkeeper.
There were already two ships occupied by his own people, and the rest were also in the bag, he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, hurry up and take those boats in one go, tonight Lao Tzu will reward you for drinking, and the yellow flower girl caught last night will also reward you!" ”
The pirates screamed, their eyes glowing green.
It's a pity that the strange ship at the front is estimated to be unable to catch up, this ship looks awkward, the sail is a unique hard sail of the Ming Dynasty, but the hull is the same as the ship of the red-haired man, the stern is like a duck's ass, and it runs very fast, if only it could be taken together.
But there are so many ships in hand, it doesn't matter if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, Zhang Datou smiled with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
