Chapter 23: Sneak Attack

The two boats under the mixed river dragon were slowly moving on the sea, both of which were half-sailed, and the speed of the boat was not high, and they looked a little lazy, wandering on the sea.

This area is the northeast corner of Haitan Island, between East Itch Island and Xiaoitch Island, recently because the people of the mixed river dragon often haunt near Dalian Island, from time to time rob and rob some passing ships through the Haitan Strait, so that the Haitan Strait, which was relatively safe, has now become very unsafe.

Therefore, some ships heading north had no choice but to change their shipping routes and take a detour to the east of Haitan Island to go north, trying to avoid the ships that might appear along the way.

Originally, the controllers of this area should have belonged to Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragon, but recently, Liu Yidao, the one-eyed dragon and others have disappeared, as if they have given up this area, and they will not have a head-on conflict with the people of Chaojianglong at all.

After a few days, Chao Jianglong's men began to become relaxed, not as nervous as when they first arrived, in their opinion, the colleagues on the Fuzhou side had been frightened by them, and now no one dared to go against them again.

So in the past few days, they have successfully robbed two passing merchant ships here, not to mention a lot of profits, and they also attacked a fishing village on the shore of Haitan Island, robbed a few women to their ship, and became the playthings of the pirates on the ship.

There are many islands in this area, and the field of vision is not very wide, once a ship passes here, it is difficult to escape the pursuit of their two ships if it is discovered, so it is a good place to ambush merchant ships.

Except for a few of the people on the ship who were concerned about the situation on the sea, the rest of them hid in the cabin or set up a cloth canopy on the ship to block the scorching sunlight from the sky.

The sky after a typhoon was very clean, and after a few days of sunshine, it became much hotter, and the sun was so hot that I hardly dared to step on it barefoot.

The sound of women begging for mercy and crying was constantly heard in the cabin, and from time to time, there were mixed Jianglong's subordinates laughing lewdly in and out of the cabin, and some people didn't lift their pants when they came out, looking triumphant.

Including the two boats, the captain of the ship was also lax at this time, making a big chair to lie under the makeshift cloth canopy in the stern while enjoying the shade, while drinking a small wine comfortably, waiting for the next target to appear, and when bored, he laughed and scolded his minions from time to time.

But none of them expected that in a bay on the east side of East Itch Island, there were several ships similar to them moored at this time, and all the sails of the ships were down, and it was difficult to find these masts erected in the bay without looking closely.

In the corner of East Itch Island, there were two people squatting under the shade of the trees, their bodies were covered by grass, observing the two ships of the mixed river dragon on the sea from a distance, but at this time the sun was already setting in the west, and the light of the setting sun was sprinkled on the sea, and the sea surface was sparkling, and the reflected sunlight affected their vision a little.

This also made the two of them have to be full of energy and carefully stare at the two boats on the sea, for fear that they will accidentally let them run out of sight.

In addition, near East Itch Island, there are two small sampans that look like fishing boats far away from the edge of the field of vision of the two boats, and they are also observing the movements of these two boats, constantly paddling, slowly following these two boats, monitoring their movements.

Although Yu Xiaotian also felt very hot, but a navy blue suit, but he wore it meticulously, because the weather was too hot, each of the people on the boat issued a small hat, so that they could cover their smooth scalp and not be sunburned by the scorching sun.

This kind of hat is a relatively common item for people in the coastal areas of Fujian, and it has recently been purchased in large quantities by Yu Xiaotian and distributed to his subordinates to wear.

These subordinates are now basically shaved bald, to show that they are also a member of the sea wolf, there is a car in front of the back, the vast majority of people still accept this arrangement, but there are also many people who are very reluctant, after all, the hair on this head has been with them for many years, and when it is shaved off, some of the young descendants actually cried on the spot.

But while bald heads bring them benefits, they also experience the pain of the sun directly on the scalp under the scorching sun, so Yu Xiaotian let people buy these hats and distribute them, so that this thing can block the sun on sunny days, and can also block the rain on rainy days, but it is very practical.

However, after seeing that his subordinates put on hats and lined up collectively, Yu Xiaotian regretted his decision, because these guys put on indigo clothes, leggings, and hats, and became a group of old concession patrols, which seriously did not conform to his aesthetics.

In his opinion, even if he can't issue decent military uniforms to these subordinates now, but at least it is more beautiful to get a steel helmet, this kind of dress is really a bit funny, but unfortunately he has limited resources at hand now, and he can't do it at all, and he can only deal with it temporarily.

However, his aesthetic does not mean that other people are the same as him, such a dress makes his subordinates feel very satisfied, unified clothing, and unified hats, in the eyes of these tasteless guys, it is already quite neat, so after these guys changed their new clothes, they put on new clothes one by one, with hats, and dragged them all like two hundred and fifty eighty thousand on Nanri Island, which was quite complacent, which made those who were not qualified to wear it like this are quite blushing.

This is just a small episode, after this typhoon, the time has entered July, and it has basically reached the time agreed with Liu Yidao and others, Yu Xiaotian stopped the wind and waves on the sea, and did not continue to delay, ordered some people, and personally led the team to leave Nanri Island.

But he didn't choose to immediately rush directly to the Haitan Strait and go to the ships of the Mixed River Dragon there, but took a few boats to the vicinity of Dongitch Island first.

At night, they anchored in this pre-selected bay, and scattered several sampans, and stationed secret sentries in various corners of East Itch Island, and began to search for possible subordinates of the Mixed River Dragon nearby.

The hard work paid off, on the third day of their secret stationing on East Itch Island, these two boats of the mixed river dragon appeared near East Itch Island, and the news reported by the small boat that came here in advance to reconnoitre, these two boats have been wandering in this area for many days, and when the typhoon passed, they came here again.

Wang Hong walked to Yu Xiaotian's side and asked Xiaotian: "Big boss, with our current strength, although we dare not say that we will be able to overturn the mixed river dragon, but with the ability of our brothers, at least we will not be like last time, and we will not be beaten by the mixed river dragon in Nangantang and run away in embarrassment!"

Why hide here and ambush them secretly? At this time, they only have two boats, can't we solve them when we go out? ”

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I know that you can't help it for a long time!" Since I came out this time, I want to do a good job, but our strength is not as good as that of Mixed River Dragon, if we come hard, although we may not necessarily lose to Mixed River Dragon, but in the end, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation!

This is not the result I wanted, so when I came out, I said that we must first clean up all the subordinates sent by the Mixed River Dragon with one knife at a time, and then give the Mixed River Dragon a fatal blow!

Although we can definitely easily kill these two boats under the Mixed River Dragon now, if they find out that we are early, if they don't fight us and turn around and run, we may not be able to keep them!

So don't worry, when it gets dark, these two boats will definitely have to find a place to dock and rest, and then it's not too late for us to clean them up! ”

Wang Hong had to nod and agree, looked up at the sun that was gradually slanting westward, and was bored and almost wanted to doze off.

After everyone waited, the sky finally gradually darkened, and a sampan quickly sailed into the bay and leaned next to Yu Xiaotian's Seawolf.

The people on the sampan pulled the soft ladder and quickly climbed onto the ship Seawolf, walked quickly in front of Yu Xiaotian and said: "Qi Qi master, the two boats of the mixed river dragon have sailed to Xiaoitch Island, and it seems that they are going to spend the night on Xiaoitch Island tonight!" ”

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Okay!" Just like the last time they visited, these guys have been resting on Little Itch Island these days, and tonight their good days are over!

Wang Hong, tell the brothers that you can prepare, start working in the middle of the night, let the big guys be energetic, and don't make any trouble at night! ”

As soon as it was completely dark, several boats began to raise their sails, and each boat hung a red lantern at the stern as a marker for the ships behind to observe the distance, and the provincial fleet at night ran away as soon as it went out to sea, or there was an accident with the ship.

The captain of each ship had already received the order in advance, so after going to sea, he took Yu Xiaotian's Seawolf as the head, and the rest of the ships followed behind it, slowly bypassing the East Itch Island, heading towards the direction of the small itch island not far away.

Although it is night on Xiaoitch Island, it does not stop, and the men of the mixed river dragon have disembarked and gone to the shore, these days they have seized a lot of things, food and drink, on Xiaoitch Island, they have lived a temporary life, plus there are also women who have been caught, which makes them noisy on the island.

But they didn't know it, a huge net was hanging over their heads, and just when they had had enough tossing, and many of them were lying down and falling asleep, someone suddenly sounded the gong of the alarm on the boat.

The piercing sound of gongs sounded far away in the silent night, and the men of the Chaojiang Dragon who had just fallen asleep all got up from the ground one by one, and looked towards the sea in panic.

It was then that by the light of a crescent moon in the sky, they saw the shadows of several shadowy boats suddenly appear on the sea, and these boats stopped their ships from going from the shore and headed towards the shore.

"Get up and get on the boat, grandma, we're being targeted!" One of the ship's leaders exclaimed.
