Chapter 950: "One Piece" Zheng Zhilong (2-in-1)
The icy sea, not only in the East China Sea but also in the West Sea, is located in the far north and is almost uninhabited.
As soon as you enter the icy sea, the temperature plummets instantly, and large areas of ice floes appear on the sea, which are not thick, and may barely stand up, and the battleship can directly run over. However, among these ice floes, there are many Icelands of all sizes, so you have to be careful when sailing here, and if you want to crash headlong, even the magic gold battleship will not be able to stand it.
Further north, there is a vast ice field, or a huge, miniature continent.
"These pirates are really well hidden, and it won't be easy to find them if they don't have a secret weapon." For this ice sea, Yu Dayou has been here more than once, but this place has no meaning at all for the stage of Hulu City, the climate is too harsh, and it is too far away from Ghost Crab Island, and the East China Sea is so big, there is no need to spend time to develop here.
"Hmph, if we don't slaughter these pirates, where will we put the face of the Hulu City Navy? Even our caravan dared to rob it! Zhou Tai slapped the strings of the boat heavily, this guy is becoming more and more violent now.
"Don't think about slaughtering or anything, we need a population, a large population! Like these pirates, how can they become a navy with a little training, just let them surrender. I hope they won't run away in advance, otherwise it will be quite troublesome to chase after this hellish place. Yu Dayou smiled and patted the head of the Sea Emperor Beast beside him, recently, all his energy has been focused on the food of the Sea Emperor Beast, so that the level of the Sea Emperor Beast has reached the ninth order, but if he wants to go further, then he will be powerless.
"I can't run! Recon MONOCULUS will show us the way. Lu Xiangyun smiled confidently.
After the test of the Eye of Time and Space in the past two days, or the test of the skill of "Scout Magic Eye", he has already gained quite a lot of experience, the normal state of the entity magic eye embodied by the Scout Eye can be hung at a height of 500 meters above the target, as long as it is not directly hung above the hostile city or army, there will basically be no problem.
Scouting the sea is the safest, empty, with little cover, and the entity's MONOCULUS can remain in a safe enough position to orient friendly forces. If it weren't for the population, Lu Xiangyun would prefer to use this opportunity to try the power of the "Time and Space Purgatory Demon Light".
The fleet moves quickly in the cold wind, and the presence of merfolk and mussels allows the fleet to easily avoid some "traps", that is, things that look like ice floe on the surface, but are actually a large ice stone.
"It's really an advanced means of reconnaissance!" Chief Yu suddenly looked at a storm seagull in the sky, this thing is quite rare, and with their living habits, it is impossible to follow the fleet all the time, then there is only one possibility, this storm seagull is tamed by people, in this ghost place, who else can there be?
"Do you want to kill it?" At the same time as Ma Zhong opened his mouth to ask, the materialized reconnaissance magic eye appeared in the northeast direction, obviously the pirate who was being monitored had a new movement, and the people who controlled the eye of time and space on the side of Hulu City were helping the fleet guide the direction of pursuit.
"No, you don't! Maybe it's ours in the future. ”
In order to once again enhance the prestige of the Hulucheng Navy and show the strength of the Hulucheng Navy, this time the entire fleet under Yu Dayou's hands was dispatched, a total of sixty-eight ships, in addition to the regular scaly sailors and legion magicians, there were also one hundred empress guards of the Sea Mussel Clan, six hundred ordinary Sea Mussel Clan guards, two hundred Mermaid Clan Tidal Warriors who had just started, five thousand Aria Carolers, and five hundred each of the Amazing Sword Dancing Girl and Eight Music Queens.
Such a team, let alone fighting pirates, even if it is a kraken, as long as you don't meet the sea demon king, there is no problem at all, not to mention that there are two foreign aides this time, Lu Xiangyun doesn't mention it, Ma Zhong and his entire dragon slayer army are here.
Soon, under the guidance of the Magic Eye, the people on the flagship could already see a ship shadow at the end of their field of vision, and the distance between the two sides was shrinking, but this shrinking process was much slower than everyone expected.
"Not bad speed, it seems that there are talents among the pirates!" Yu Dayou's interest suddenly became even higher, according to the intelligence, except for the three bronze-level magic gold warships that this pirate group snatched from the Hulu City caravan, all the others were four-masted galleons, and the four-masted galleons could reach this speed, which was not something ordinary people could do.
The foundation of the Hulucheng Navy is far inferior to that of the army, which is unacceptable to Yu Dayou, who is bent on showing his ability, so seeing this scene strengthens his mind to subdue this pirate.
"No matter how talented people are holding four-masted small sailboats, there is no need to fight with our big ships." Zhou Tai muttered disdainfully, he was a character who was charging into battle, and he never intervened in such a commanding force.
After about a quarter of an hour, the pirates also saw that they would definitely not be able to run away like this, so they turned around and took the battle? That's completely looking for death, the gap between the four-masted galleon and the magic gold battleship is enough to make a first-class name be hoisted up by a second-rate celebrity. Therefore, the pirates chose to abandon the ship and go ashore! If you open up the range of the war equipment on the battleship on the shore and engage on the shore, without the gap between the battleships, it will be difficult to say whether the winner will be defeated, at least that's what the pirates think.
"Drive right over there and crush those four-masted galleons!" Is there a chance to go ashore? Naive! Yu Dayou directly ordered the fleet, he had no interest in those four-masted galleons at all, although they could be sold for a few bucks if they were dragged back, but if they were crushed, even if they completely cut off the pirates' back route, in the end, they would either fight to the death or surrender, otherwise even if they fled, they would be trapped and killed on this white ice field.
Oh, and there's another possibility, and that's to defeat them, but is it possible?
The fleet crashed directly into it in the most violent way, pushing the four-masted galleons against the edge of the ice and squeezing them into pieces, which is the advantage of battleships in naval warfare, which is far more exaggerated than the equipment gap in the army engagement.
"Ashore!"
The soldiers on the battleship had already completed their outfit when they entered the ice sea, and all of them had been equipped with winter clothes. The Legion Mage and Sunset Archers all took to the air at the first time, while the Scaly Sailors quickly landed along the ladders that fell from the side of the battleship, followed by the Aria Carol, the Dancing Queen, and the Eight Music Queens, all of the Sea Clan and some of the Scaly Sailors stayed behind to guard the ship to prevent pirates from stealing the ship.
There were no vegetation on the ice sheet, there were ravines, icebergs, and howling cold winds like small blades, which was a great test for a navy that was fighting in this environment for the first time. But Yu Dayou didn't think that the pirates on the other side could be strong.
There are a lot of pirates in this army, more than 10,000 people, this is not like the pirates with nests that were exterminated at the beginning, like White Shark Island, the population is quite a lot, but only half of them can really fight, but the group in front of them are all combatants, and the equipment is not bad, choose a defensible terrain, the first row is full of heavy shields.
"Kill!" Riding on the back of the Hell Sea Emperor Beast, Yu Dayou waved his right hand and ordered. The easiest way to subdue the pirates is to make them feel your strength in the most violent way, which is the experience that Yu Dayou gained from exterminating pirates everywhere in the East China Sea.
With Yu Dayou's order, all the troops attacked almost at the same time, in a melodious song, the scaly sailors charged with long knives, the legion magician aimed at those heavy shields, and Ma Zhong took the dragon slayer legion to start harassing in the air, he knew Yu Dayou's purpose, so he was quite measured, giving enough pressure to the pirates, but he didn't really shoot much, otherwise, according to his habit, he would have pointed the arrow at the other party's leader a long time ago.
The pirates have a single class of troops and a very small number of mages, so even with a good commander, it is difficult to stabilize the situation in such a battle. The first line of defense under the heavy shield was directly blasted away, and a large rain of arrows was stabilized by the effect of the "Hymn to the Dawn" of the Hymn of the Hymn and the "Moonlit Night of the Twenty-four Bridges" by the Eight Music Queens, and there was no too significant effect at all.
The battle between the two sides was almost one-sided from the start, and the morale of the pirates' side was quite strong, at least much stronger than the scum that was defeated in one blow, but this still did not change the outcome of the hanging. But in a moment, let alone winning, even the retreat was blocked.
Yu Dayou and Zhou Tai didn't move, Zhou Tai stood on the back of the dragon, and a faint dragon power spread, making the pirates a little frightened. Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Dayou shouted to Zhou Tai: "Go, shout for them to surrender!" ”
What is the strength of a pirate? Yu Dayou couldn't be clearer, so in the battle, he was able to use his knowledge of the pirate's basic data to assess the ability of the opposing commander. The result made him very satisfied, if the two sides had the same warships and the same troops, at sea, Yu Dayou did not believe that they could take each other.
"Scum pirates, you plundered the caravan in Hulu City, and they should have been all slaughtered, but the marshal is merciful, give you a chance, as long as you surrender immediately, you are not to blame for the past!" The dragon spread its wings and flew above the battlefield, Zhou Tai's voice was very loud, and the voice reached the ears of every pirate.
In the current battle situation, unless the commander has the ability to "fight against the water" or "fight to the end", it is impossible to stabilize morale, and as soon as the surrender comes out, the morale of the pirates suddenly drops a lot. However, at the same time as Zhou Tai shouted, the offensive of the navy side temporarily stopped, retreated a few steps, and surrounded a group of pirates.
In the previous engagement, the pirate side seemed to be quite miserable, but the casualties were not much, less than two thousand, and all of them were peripheral minions, and the core was not damaged.
"How do we believe your words?" The navy retreated, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and there was some agitation among the pirates, the gap between the two sides had already made them deeply aware before, and they had to negotiate.
"Humph! You haven't let me deceive you yet, and if I want to, I can slaughter you at a very small cost! Yu Dayou rode the Hell Sea Emperor Beast forward two steps forward and said sharply, every word in the words was more biting in the ears of the pirates than the cold wind on the ice field.
"And what will you do with us if we surrender?" The thin, thin pirate who was the first to speak continued to ask after muttering to the man next to him for a while, and from his attitude, it was clear that the leader of the pirate was the man in black armor beside him.
"Part of it is incorporated into the Navy, and part of it is disarmed for the people!" All the pirates recruited by Hulu City are dealt with in this way, and the pirates are just like the soldiers recruited on a large scale in Xiaguang City, some of them are either because of age or because of qualifications, and the limit is the sixth order, which is completely cumbersome for Hulu City who takes the elite route, it is better to disarm the people, and also make some contributions to the production of the territory.
"We have also heard of the name of Yu Dashuai in Hulu City, I hope you can speak for yourself, and we will surrender!" The black-armored pirate was the first to drop his weapon, claiming to surrender, and followed by the surrounding pirates to drop their weapons.
- System: Zheng Zhilong and the "Narwhal" pirate group surrendered, and the reputation of Ghost Crab City increased by 50,000.
- System: Ghost Crab City's reputation has reached "famous".
- System: Yu Dayou led the fleet to defeat the "Narwhal" pirate group, triggering growth after a long period of hard work, and the command rate was +1.
- System: Yu Dayou's command rate reached 90, and he was promoted to a "first-class general" with the title of "second-rate famous general", successfully comprehended the commander's skill "iron lock and boat", and his reputation increased by 50,000.
- System: Yu Dayou's reputation has reached "thunder".
Looking at the group of pirates who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, a smile appeared on Yu Dayou's face, this difficult and simple battle finally ended successfully. Speaking of difficulty, it is the difficulty of searching for this pirate, if it were not for the eye of time and space, it would be impossible for him to catch this pirate in a short time, think about the storm seagull that has been above their heads before, with this means, if you have the iron heart to play hide and seek with him, it will definitely make people vomit, and the result is that every maritime caravan in Hulu City has to strengthen the strength of the escort fleet, which is definitely unacceptable to Wu Yi.
To put it simply, it refers to the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, as long as it is blocked, it will be simple. Of course, this time there are also some arrogant factors in the other party, he thought that he could run away in advance, but he didn't expect that Hulucheng's reconnaissance methods were more high-end than them, otherwise, if he directly relied on the village to fight a defensive battle, it would be more troublesome.
This "narwhal" pirate group chose their nest on this ice field, and it is impossible not to have a stockade to settle in. Although the defensive power of the stockade is far inferior to that of the city, even if it is a siege battle, it is not difficult for Yu Dayou, but at that time, the casualties of the pirates will be large, and it is difficult to say how many can be forced to surrender in the end.
