Chapter 254: Pirates

Obviously, the pirates were sneaking in the dark to follow them, and by the time the crew found out, the heavy draft cargo ship had nowhere to escape.

Li Ji is the first time in his life to see this kind of legendary profession, whether in the past life or in this life, he is very curious, looking out of the porthole, the pirate ship is less than three or four miles away from the Sea Eagle, in the sea, this distance is not far, and the distance between the two sides is still narrowing.

There is a pirate ship, a large ship with thousands of materials, slightly larger than the Sea Eagle, the mast is arrogantly hung with the pirate flag, the whole hull is slender and concise, full of a sense of speed, at first glance it is a professional ship to do this business, such a close distance, not to mention that the Sea Eagle is still full of goods, even if it is an empty ship, I am afraid it will not be able to outrun this pirate ship.

The crew members are all concentrated on the side of the approaching direction of the pirate ship, each holding long and short weapons, and they are also in good order under the dispatch of the black sea, and it can be seen that these people also have some experience in similar scenes, and they are not panicked, I don't know if it is self-sustaining force? Or do you know that there are Taoist priests on board to help?

The pirate ship was getting closer and closer, and it was less than fifty feet, and with Li Ji's eyesight, he could even see the pirate's eyebrows and pores on the deck; Wu Dahai shouted loudly, cheering up the guards who were about to die, and ordered the passengers to go back to the cabin and not go out or probe their brains.

He is a very experienced ship boss, and he knows that if these passengers are allowed to run around casually, not only will they not be able to help, but they will also be more likely to demoralize the crew if they shout and cry for their fathers and mothers.

When the two sides were more than 30 feet apart, they began to shoot bows and crossbows at each other, and on the sea, even if the wind and sun were beautiful today, it was very difficult to shoot the bumpy ships, and most of the arrows did not know what to do, and occasionally those who shot at each other were also weak and weak, just to scare each other.

The two whaling forks on the bow of the boat, Li Ji can also see that they are used to deal with the giant beasts in the sea, and they are useless in the ships attacking each other.

There are no thermal weapons in this world, and the battles between ships are simple, shoot at each other, get closer, jump into the gang, and at most add tactics such as crashing and sinking; The pirates are looking for money, so where can they find the goods after sinking the ship? So the only purpose of this pirate ship is to get close to the gang in the future, and there are nearly a hundred pirates standing densely on the deck of the pirate ship, all of them are fierce and vicious, and they really jump up, and they may not be able to stop the black sea.

The Sea Eagle dodged back and forth in a zigzag pattern, but the draught flexibility was there, and it could not stop the approach of the pirate ship that was also skilled in navigating ships; When the distance was less than ten zhang, the pirates shot their hooks one after another, and under the pull, the distance between the two ships approached in vain, and the pirates who were already anxious jumped up, although they were cut down into the sea by the sea eagles, but as the side of the ship approached, more and more pirates jumped up, and the fierce melee battle was about to break out.

The Taoist invited by Wu Dahai stood behind everyone on the side of the ship, and when the pirate ship approached, he instigated and took out a fireball talisman, and it took the boss's strength to start, but he couldn't throw it far, and was blown back to the Sea Eagle by the sea breeze, and fell into a pile of ropes.

Boss Wu looked at it from the side, shocked and angry, knowing that this time he had met someone who ate soft rice.

It is very common for caravans sailing between the twin peaks and the sea to ask a monk to sit in charge, but few monks specialize in this business, and most of them only run once they are short of money, so the mobility is very large; Some monks are so strong that they dare to fight hand-to-hand, and it is considered lucky to invite such a monk; But there are also monks who have only heard that it is easy to get money by running a ship, and they may not have the courage to fight in close combat.

The worst thing is that you can't try it on the shore, and you don't even dare to ask, which annoys the Taoist, a fireball is thrown over, and you have to shed your skin if you don't die, on the shore, the Taoist is not something that mortals can provoke.

Boss Wu's bad luck this time, he met such a person who eats and drinks and mixes money, it's not that Taoists don't work hard and don't talk about credit, but they can't use spells, and they don't have the courage to get close.

Originally, there were more than 70 crew members and guards on the Sea Eagle's side, and if you remove the inseparable ones who operated the ship, you could also make up more than 50 people, and if you add a powerful Taoist, you may not be able to resist it; But now looking at the bird-like appearance of the Taoist, Boss Wu secretly said that this time I am afraid that a catastrophe will come.

Seeing more and more pirates jumping off the Sea Eagle, the black boss and the others showed signs of being overwhelmed, but they heard a sharp whistling in the air, and a javelin instantly shot a fierce and hideous pirate leader who rushed into the Sea Eagle, and the javelin pierced deep into the deck, forming a strange support with the leader, as if a herringbone.

Before the pirates could react, another javelin whistled out, this time, unfortunate was the second leader who was still left on the pirate ship to give the command, and the powerful kinetic energy directly brought this big man up, and even the people with guns nailed to the bulkhead, unable to die for a while, and unable to break free, screaming in vain.

The big leader, who was standing outside the helm cabin, reacted quickly, snatched a large iron shield from the hands of his subordinates, and protected it in front of him; But this military iron shield did not bring him safety, and the whistling sound resumed, and at this time, everyone saw that it was an ordinary young man on the upper floor of the Sea Eagle.

The gun was fired, and the fate of the big leader was no different from that of the second child, the only difference was that a huge iron shield was worn on the javelin; Almost instantly, the pirate was killed after leading the three heads, and it took only two breaths before and after.

Li Ji had never practiced throwing javelins, but among the Liuhe swordsmanship he learned when he first crossed over, there was a sword-throwing technique; In fact, it really doesn't matter if you learn it or not, with a distance of more than ten zhang, how could he miss when he is a sword cultivator who is better than a long-range attacker?

Under the six senses, the slightest hint of the javelin poured into the sword Qi can not be stopped by ordinary soldiers?

The so-called snake does not walk without a head, people do not move without a head, the death of the three leaders immediately made the pirates panic, they are not an army, and there is no strict discipline, usually brave and dare to fight one for wealth, the other is forced by the leader, this lost the leader, immediately messed up.

There were those who turned around and wanted to jump back into the pirate ship, there were those who wanted to find Li Ji desperately, there were those who jumped into the sea to escape, and there were those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the situation settled down instantly.

Li Ji didn't bid for guns again, the first evil was eliminated, and the rest lost their morale, and they solved it with their own boss; The rules of the sea, how to deal with pirates, these troublesome things he didn't want to care, and he shouldn't care.

In the end, the pirate ship escaped, and twenty or thirty pirates were killed, and there were still sixty or seventy left on board, plus there were a hundred people left behind to operate the pirate ship; Don't look at them on the Sea Eagle, they have no fighting will, they are really driven to a dead end on the pirate ship, which stimulates the ferocity, and the dozens of people in the black boss are estimated to be meat buns and dogs when they jump over.

Boss Wu saw that Li Ji had no intention of making another move, and he also restrained his subordinates from chasing after him, until the pirate ships were about to disappear, and he saw that the two merchant ships behind him were late; Wu Dahai secretly said lucky, if the pirates chose to attack the last two merchant ships, he was afraid that he would have to lose half of his life savings this time.
