Chapter 139 Pirates Urgent

On the Luzon Outer Sea, blue waves rise everywhere, and the tide surges and falls.

Suddenly, dozens of thick smoke rose from the end of the sea, and a fleet with the Hawaiian flag and the logo of the Pacific Freight Company suddenly broke through the calm and galloped through the waves.

Tan Wang stood at the height of the bridge and looked at the two mini-masted sailboats that squeezed into the rear fleet. He was a little nervous.

With the Pacific Army entering Ryukyu, the young master set off an upsurge in the development of Ryukyu, and the Nanyang route he managed has become more and more important. Wood, iron, rubber, and even tobacco leaves are all urgently needed at present. In response to this situation, Lin Yongxiang also vigorously developed Nanyang Shipping, and put more than half of the Japanese transport ship bought from the fleet into this route.

Originally, the fleet did not need him, the person in charge of Nanyang, to escort it in person, but recently, bandits in this area have been rampant, and there are frequent news of ship destruction and deaths. In addition, there has been an accident last time, so he has to be vigilant and adopt the land method of centralized escort.

This time, the fleet consists of ten large ships, six of which are the most urgently needed pig iron raw materials. The other two large ships are also equipped with tobacco leaves, rubber and other important materials. The bottom cabin of the new cargo ship just bought from Italy is loaded with several tons of gold collected from all over the Nanyang, which can be taken special attention of by the State Council. Red goods used for future bank construction!

Such a huge amount of money, not to mention him, even the State Council far away in Honolulu attaches great importance to it. Although the navy temporarily did not enter Nanyang to escort under the strict order of the young master, it still sent a modified gunboat from Ryukyu to protect it.

Although there are gunboats escorts, the four Pacific Army's 37mm rapid-fire machine guns and steel hulls are enough to deter pirates who rely on small boats and muskets, Tan Wang is not very reassuring. Especially now that the Pacific Army is strongly involved in the Far East, defeating Japanese, occupying Ryukyu, and blackening tens of millions of people, I don't know how many people have been red-eyed for a long time, and I can't wait to rush up and take a bite. Therefore, even if a gunboat patrolling next to the fleet, following closely like a loyal hound, it did not make Tan Wang feel at ease a little.

Coupled with the recent rampant pirates, since the fleet went to sea, small ships have been joining the formation towing to the end, hoping to scare the pirates away with the huge fleet size of Pacific freight.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the Nanyang Sea. There are often single ships around large fleets or foreign ships to avoid pirates in this way. After all, this is a business of running the sea. Who can guarantee that there will be no three disasters and six difficulties in the future? It is not empty talk about the convenience of others and the convenience of oneself, so this has also become an unwritten rule. As long as it does not threaten the safety of the fleet, everyone will turn a blind eye and will not take the initiative to expel those single ships.

Perhaps Pacific Freight is becoming more and more famous now, and scattered ships continue to join along the way, making Tan Wang's eyebrows more and more tight. Fortunately, the fleet has left the offshore at this moment. For pirates who rely on sailboats and muskets, the danger of the waves in the distant sea is not much smaller than that of machine guns and cannons.

But he didn't know that at this moment, in a seemingly ordinary boat behind him, a young man about 30 years old, dressed in Japanese student clothes, was looking at his fleet from the cabin with a ferocious face.

Behind the young man, several Japanese ronin in kimonos, holding long knives, stood around, looking at the young man's eyes were full of admiration and respect.

It is a country with a strict concept of hierarchy. In this country, the concept of superiority and inferiority is very clear. Even at the end of the shogunate era, the ronin, as a warrior similar to a ranger and a lone traveler, has always regarded himself as the emperor's personal soldier, and there is no room for ordinary people in his eyes. At this moment, they will show humility to a young man who looks no different from ordinary people in appearance and temperament. If others see it, they will definitely be surprised.

The young man didn't seem to see the expressions of the ronin. He stared at the large fleet of Pacific freight ahead. He looked at two of the new cargo ships that had not even completely scraped the original name of the ship. He pinched his fists fiercely before turning his head and asked the ronin who looked like the leader. He said, "Mr. Chun, is everything arranged? "

"Second Lieutenant, don't worry, I have sold that gunboat to those pirates. Now they have warship cannons and are blinded by wealth. I believe that this moment should have arrived!"

While the young man nodded to express his satisfaction, a sadness flashed in his eyes and he said, "Chun Shangjun, I am no longer a second lieutenant in the Imperial Army. You can call me Mingshi Jun, or just call me Mingshi Yuan Erlang!"

"Hi!" Chun Shang nodded and answered, but he wondered why Mingshi Yuanjiro came to Nanyang to plan to attack the fleet of Pacific Freight Company with a good second lieutenant? And where did he get the gunboat? The Imperial Navy has not already...

Before Chunshang finished thinking about it, he felt as if his face had been hung by a sharp blade. He quickly raised his head and found that Akashi Yuanjiro's eyes had already locked him. He was not afraid of the face of these two sharp eyes, and his heart did not shiver.

"Chunshangjun, as a warrior of this empire, you should know the situation in China at this moment! I don't want to say anything more. I just want to tell you what I did, what you are doing at this moment, everything is for the empire!"

"Hi!" Hearing this, not only Chunshang, but also the ronin next to him were full of enthusiasm.

Akashi Motojiro slowly turned around, and his eyes flew to the fleet of the Pacific Freight Company in front of him, remembering what Mr. Fukushima said when he set off.

"Although the empire lost this war, all the people believed that the empire was forced into a desperate situation. But in my opinion, this is not an opportunity!" Fukushima Ansheng's eyes seemed to penetrate time and space, and his voice was slow and clear.

"The empire at this moment is like a tiger locked in a cage, watching his brothers and sisters being killed, with red eyes but unable to break the cage. What do you think the tiger will do if the cage is opened in a few years?"

"Now is the time for the tiger to sharpen his teeth again and refresh his energy! The navy can take advantage of the total destruction of the main force to make a new revolution, introduce the world's most advanced warships, and catch up with the great powers! The army can also take advantage of these years to complete the decline in the quality of soldiers caused by the hurried expansion of the army.

"What we need to do is to make our opponents weak as much as possible and slow them down when the empire prepares for the truce! So I transferred you out of the army to carry out the mission, not to let you take revenge, but to weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible!"

"For a smaller and more fragmented island regime like an empire, their lifeline is a sea route! Go ahead! Even if you can't destroy it, you should disturb it as much as possible and wrap a noose around their neck!"

Akashi Motojiro gently stroked his shoulder, as if he felt the warmth when Fukushima Ansheng's big hand pressed on his shoulder, and the corners of his mouth suddenly shibbed: "Are you ready?"

"Yes." Chun Shang nodded and was about to continue to speak. Suddenly, a ronin around him questioned, "Mr. Mingshi, why don't we attack the fleet in front of us directly with those pirates?"

For this question of crossing the level, Yuanjiro Akashi was not angry. Instead, he pointed to the huge ocean-going cargo ship in front of him and the small gunboat beside it, and smiled, "Do you think that if they run away with all their strength, can the pirates' sailboats catch up with these new cargo ships?"

"But didn't we sell the gunboat to the pirates? Can't you rely on gunboats?

"Mr. Takeda, you should know that the Empire has stopped war with the Pacific Army, so I can't let the excellent Imperial Navy personnel fly the gunboats in person. Even if those mob get the gunboats, do you think there is a chance to anniheize them?" Akashi Yuanjiro stared at the ronin warrior who spoke fiercely, and suddenly his voice turned: "As a warrior who has lived in the land of Taiwan for many years, you should know that those who run in the sea all year round have a very bad habit..."

Akashi Genjiro hooked the corners of his mouth: "The sea is deep and the waves are urgent. Working together in the same boat is the virtue of the Chinese people, but it is their greatest weakness! They are so affectionate!" At this point, his voice suddenly increased a few degrees, pointed to the ships around him, big and small, and said viciously, "Let the pirates do it, use these Chinese as bait, lure the gunboat over, and tell them that all the wealth is theirs!"

"Let the despicable Hawaii know that my empire will never give in!" -

Keelung.

Although the north is still cold and steep at this moment, the southeast coast has long been busy with spring sowing, not to mention Taiwan, which is like spring all year round. Looking at the ploughing of cattle in the distance outside the window, Huang Zichen has no intention to appreciate it.

"Uncle Zhao, how's it going?"

Uncle Zhao is the housekeeper of the Huang family. Because he was afraid that his son would not be taken care of outside, Huang Xing asked the housekeeper to accompany him to Taiwan. At this time, when he saw the young master asking, he couldn't help sighing and shook his head: "I'm sick for more than a dozen again. Well, if it goes on like this, we can't get together to start work!"

Bang!

As soon as he heard that another worker fell ill, Huang Zichen was so angry that he smashed the documents in his hand on the table, as if to vent his depression.

Entrusted by the young master, he has been in Taiwan for more than a year. It is reasonable to make achievements. And seeing that Ryukyu has been controlled by the young master, Keelung is not far from Ryukyu. It is the time when he needs to make his own contribution, but there is no place to do it, which makes him feel frustrated.

At the beginning of the construction of the factory, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he covered himself with the behavior of the East, and mostly recruited craftsmen from the mainland, but he also achieved some results. However, later, because the weather was gradually hot and rainy, those recruited craftsmen soon fell ill and died, and the number of staff reduction was as high as 30%! Just buying golden chicken cream from foreigners every month is astronomical!

So the originally expected two-year construction period was delayed again and again, and it is not until now that the shipyard has dug two dry docks. The machines and equipment bought at high prices are still wrapped in the temporary warehouse.

According to the schedule drawn up at the beginning, the first batch of shippers studying in Hawaii are coming, but not to mention the supporting factories, and the machines have not even been split and installed. What should I do?

Seeing Huang Zichen's sad face, Uncle Zhao was also anxious. After his lips squirmed a few times, he still said another bad news: "Young master, there is also something wrong with the land we like."

"The ground?" Huang Zichen was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the land outside the Keelung Port Shipyard. It was one of the few flat areas in the port area. It was the base of the follow-up supporting factory and automobile factory that he had already favored. Is there something wrong there? Didn't you make anony with the government last year?

Uncle Zhao did not hide it, but hurriedly said, "I took people to handle the land handover procedures, but they said that this matter could not be handled until the new governor, Lord Tang, read it. But in the past few days, I got the news. I heard that Lin Weiyuan also took a good look at this land and was going to buy it to build a sugar cane plantation, saying that it would take the formalities in these days.

What!

Now Huang Zichen can't sit still. You should know that this land is related to his subsequent development here. If there is no land, the shipyard will become an isolated island. Where will the supporting factory be placed?

Although he really wanted to ask the local officials immediately why he suddenly changed his mind, these years of experience made him mature a lot. After thinking about it, he slowly sat down.

It's not that he is willing to give up the land, but that Lin Weiyuan is not an ordinary person, not only the richest man in Taiwan today, but also Taipu Siqing.

The official position of Taipu Siqing may be very strange to others, but it makes him feel a little tricky for Huang Zichen, who is gradually familiar with the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. In terms of official rank, Taifu Siqing is not a great official. At best, he is the emperor's Ma Wen who raises horses. However, according to the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, such officials often have the opportunity to meet Tianyan and belong to close ministers.

Even the governor of a frontier official often welcomes such people, and few of them are willing to offend them, not to mention his own outsider who has no background in the Qing Dynasty.

If the land is in this person's hands, it will be very difficult to get it back, so we must take advantage of these days to do it. Thinking of this, Huang Zichen pulled the fake braids behind his head fiercely. If it hadn't been for the young master's scruples, he really wanted to directly advise the army to come over, so as not to let him go to socialize with those officials every day.

But the water can't quench the thirst. Even if the young master made up his mind to take Taiwan, it was not a matter of a day or two, so he had to grit his teeth and take out a stack of silver tickets from the drawer and handed them to Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, this is to trouble you to go to Taipei immediately to dredge it. If you have a chance, you can meet the new governor. No matter how much it costs, you have to get this land.

Uncle Zhao also knew the importance of this land. He quickly took the silver ticket and thought about how to help the young master get the land back. When he started work as soon as possible, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Before he could see the person clearly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"Zi Chen, are you...?"——

"Come on, pull out the machine gun!"

"It's okay to hide."

"Left full rudder, speed up to pass, don't entangle with pirates."

The sharp whistle sounded from all over the deck, and the freighter was suddenly in a mess. Perhaps to cooperate with this tension, several bullets were fired from a distance, making a "choo-choo" sound on the deck.

Suddenly, a boatman on the deck who could not dodged frozen his body. The bullet accurately hit his neck, pierced a bowl of wounds, and blood gushed out, and the fallen body dyed the deck red.

Seeing this scene, the crew became more nervous and hid behind the deck one after another, making the approaching pirates more rampant. They ran to the bow one after another, shouting and scolding while shooting, and some even waved machetes directly, which was quite scary.

But Tan Wang was not scared by this momentum, but showed a contemptuous smile. When he saw a few strong crew members pulling out the machine guns specially equipped for each ship for this escort, he immediately shouted, "Come on, bullet, kill these dogs!"

The crew members who had received simple training put good bullets on their hands and feet. As soon as they pulled the bolt, they only heard the explosion of "Dada" like fried beans exploded from their ears. The approaching pirate ship was immediately beaten with wood chips flying, and several pirates standing in the front with big knives were directly torn to pieces by bullets.

Probably didn't expect that the cargo ship had such strong firepower. The nearest pirate ship quickly turned the rudder to avoid it. Finally, it knew that it was a hard scum, and he rushed directly to the ordinary boats dragged behind, which relieved the nervous boatmen on the deck.

With the help of a machine gun, Tan Wang was a little relieved after forcing the nearest pirate ship to sail. He raised his telescope and looked at the one behind him in the distance. He had been following him since he set out and was ready to borrow a fleet to avoid the pirates. At this time, he became the first boat to be occupied and hid. He always felt that something was wrong.

The appearance of pirates is not sudden, and the way of pretending to follow is not smart. At least he had already guessed something when the first ship was hoisted behind the fleet, and deliberately let people focus on observation. However, at that time, he did not think that pirates would do it. After all, there were all ocean-going ships on his side, and there were gunboats. The escort only thought that he would follow for a period of time and left when he saw that he couldn't do it.

But to everyone's surprise, the pirates actually took action and chose it in this sea area. It's really surprising!

It is reasonable to say that pirates like the offshore and multi-island waters, which can be covered by islands. Once they fail, they can escape as soon as possible. Therefore, he carefully selected the route of this escort. Instead of taking the traditional route of Luzon and Penghu bypassing through the Taiwan Strait, he chose to take the sea. Although it was a little farther, most of the routes were open areas of the deep sea, just to avoid the attacks by pirates, but they didn't expect them to follow here!

and brazenly did it!

Do business in this kind of sea where you can see the flowers at a glance. For pirates who rely on several sail boats, how to go back safely is a problem once they fail! Therefore, ordinary pirates will not choose to enter the distant sea to do business. In case such a place is a little bad, it is no different from dying in vain!

And the timing of the pirates' choice is also strange. Usually, they choose to do it in the morning or in the evening, using the sun as a cover. Now it's okay. It's said that they cut people at noon, and it's completely unreasonable to play cards!

Is this a group of newcomers who have just opened? Don't you know much about the rules of the sea?

Tan Wang shook his head and looked back to join the team, like the pirate ship where the wolf entered the sheep. Looking at their skillfully separating the fleet and chasing those deep-watering cargo ships, he knew that these guys were by no means rookies!

But why do they dare to choose in the deep sea or attack such a huge fleet in broad daylight? And most importantly, they followed for a while, and they must have seen the escorted gunboat. Why did they dare to do it? Do they think that a few wooden sailboats can withstand the bombardment of the 37mm machine gun?!

While Tan Wang was thinking about it, a passenger ship in the fleet following him suddenly caught fire. Countless figures ran and dodged, and some people jumped directly into the sea without even considering the consequences.

"You son of a bitch!"

Beside him, the captain of the cargo ship looked at the passenger ship that was on fire by the pirates. His eyes were red and urged fiercely, and he shouted, "Mr. Tan, let the gunboat go to help!"

"Yes! We all have machine guns here. Those pirates don't dare to surround them anymore. Let the gunboats go!"

"Everyone is running the sea and should take care of each other!"

"Yes, if people know that we can't save our lives, won't that affect the reputation of our Pacific freight? Who will come to us in the future!"

Since the captain has spoken, the large sailors next to him and the security team on the ship also shouted one after another. Tan Wang also frowned. If he usually encounters this, he will definitely arrange gunboats to rescue. With the pirates' sail wooden boats, as long as the gunboats go over and fire a few shots, it will be enough to scare them away!

But at the thought of those doubts just now, this order can never be issued.

"Big Boss Tan, give orders, or those people will be killed by pirates!" Seeing another cargo ship on fire, the friends around them could no longer sit still.

"Report, the captain of the gunboat asked him to drive away the pirates."

Hearing the report, he saw the cargo ships that were swayed by pirates one after another. After a moment of hesitation, Tan Wang suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let the gunboats go to help them, but you are not allowed to fight!"

"Everyone go back, be careful!"

As soon as Tan Wang finished the order, the gunboat with red eyes drew an arc like a shuttle, and the machine gun spit out a series of fire tongues, and immediately hit the hull of the nearest pirate ship full of holes.

Seeing that the big fleet actually sent gunboats, the rest of the pirates didn't care about those small boats and turned to avoid them one after another. However, to everyone's surprise, the pirates did not withdraw, but used the number and gunboats to swim!

Seeing this scene, Tan Wang suddenly felt bad. At this time, a voice that everyone didn't expect suddenly came!

"Report, a large number of pirates were found in front!"

A large number of pirates!

Hearing the news, everyone's hearts suddenly thumped, and at the same time, an idea rose and fell down!

Tan Wang also quickly raised his telescope and saw more than a dozen large and small pirate ships suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance. There are both old sailboats and several modified cargo ships with black smoke. Looking back at the pirate ships that wandered around the gunboats and did not leave even if they were cremated by machine guns, he immediately understood that they were just for the Pacific Freight Company!

"Let the gunboat come back immediately and don't fall in love with the war!" Almost in an instant, the sea wolf he got from his father broke out. He suddenly opened his clothes and shouted angrily, "Each ship should maintain its formation. Act under the banner. Don't mess up!"

"Get all the machine guns up for me!"

"Prepare to fight!"

Boom!

As soon as Tan Wang arranged everything, after hearing a few sharp sound of breaking the air, several columns of water suddenly burst around the sea. Although the distance was not far away to threaten the fleet, it made everyone nervous!

Cannon! This is the sound of cannons! These pirates actually have cannons?!

"Damn it! What the hell are these guys from? After seeing a few fires spewing out of a small iron-shell cargo ship from the telescope, Tan Wang knew that it was probably more evil this time. Although the caliber of the cannons were not scary from the caliber, it can be seen from the actions of those pirates who called for shells that were filled with shells that this was a solid rear gun, not commonly used by pirates. The fore-mber cannon!

Seeing that the pirates actually had cannons, the crew around them were also as pale as dirt. They hurriedly found a place to cover. The captains also quickly turned the rudder to dodge, hoping to avoid the shells, but they forgot that they were not driving a dexterous warship, but a slow and huge ocean freighter.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was trying to avoid, a shell suddenly hit the outermost cargo ship, and immediately made a big hole in the position of the rear bridge, which not only swept several security guards and sailors in, but also the flames emerged from the cabin in an instant.

"Quick, use the flag to ask about the situation of Tianhai Ship!"

As soon as he saw that a ship was shot, Tan Wang was even more anxious. But the problem was that for this escort, the two machine guns of each ship were too close in range to threaten the other party's guns at all. Although the gunboat he escorted had been turning back with all its strength, it had been pulled away from the fleet because it was lured by the previous plan. A distance can't come in time at all.

What should I do?

Boom. Seeing a series of water columns exploding from the side, the pirate ship is getting closer and closer to form a siege. Everyone is anxious. More importantly, the fire on the outermost Tianhai ship is getting bigger and bigger, and even the speed has slowed down a lot. What should I do now?

Never lose the fleet!

Looking at the Tianhai ship, which was getting bigger and bigger, Tan Wang suddenly gritted his teeth: "Rise the flag of the Pacific Army, order the Tianhai ship to slow down and block the angle of fire of the pirates, and the rest of the ships continue to move forward."

What!

Hearing Tan Wang's order, not to mention the captains of his security team, even the captain and captain and others on the freighter were stunned. They are all old sea wolves who have been in the sea for a long time. They dare not say that they have seen the wind and waves. They can understand the raising of the military flag. They can tell the other party's identity or use the prestige of the Pacific Army to deter the other party. But at this time, if the Tianhai ship slow down, they can't figure it out. Isn't it on purpose to let the Tianhai ship die?!

If you slow down, the more than 5,000 tons have just been launched for less than two years. At this moment, it is full of rubber tobacco partners, and it will completely become a cannonball magnet and a lamb bitten by a pack of wolves!

But is there any other way? No.

In addition to abandoning the Tianhai ship and blocking the pirates with its huge body, Tan Wang couldn't think of any other way, either to sacrifice one and block the gunfire, or to continue to maintain the formation and let the pirates bombard indiscriminately.

"Go, send a signal!" Seeing that everyone did not move, Tan Wang kicked the signalman beside him fiercely and shouted, "Go!"

Hearing this roar, the signalman did not dare to delay. He immediately ran to the highest flying bridge, waved the flag desperately, and gave a signal to raise the battle flag and slow down.

Looking at this signal, everyone on the rest of the cargo ship's eyes turned red, and the night was a little hesitant. On the contrary, the Tianhai ship in the thick smoke took the lead in raising the eye-catching blood cloud dragon claw flag of the Pacific Fleet and began to slow down. At the same time, the captain immediately ordered to immediately move the rubber in the cargo compartment and burn on the deck.

Seeing that the smoke from the Tianhai ship worked, Tan Wang also hurriedly ordered the ships to burn fireworks on the deck. For a moment, the whole fleet was full of thick smoke, and the visibility on the sea suddenly dropped a lot.

As the Tianhai ship and the fleet ignited rubber and flammable materials one after another, thick smoke rolled on the sea in an instant. At this time, the gunboat escorting the fleet finally rushed back, and suddenly inserted between the pirates and the Tianhai ship like a hungry tiger. The trainee gunner, who was so hot by the battle flag, pressed the trigger with his fingers and immediately pressed the trigger. The rice rapid-fire machine gun, like a poisonous snake that breathes fire at night, pours on the pirate gunboat from nowhere.

Although the gunboats are all young reserve officers and soldiers, and the captains are alternates, after all, they are soldiers who have received strict training. Under the stimulation of the fleet's blood cloud dragon claw flag, the pirate gunboats were full of fire in just a few minutes.

But after all, this is a 37mm machine gun, not the big guys in the fleet. Even if the pirate gunboats are suppressed, it is impossible to rely on this small cannon to eat the other party. What's more, at this time, other pirate ships are already very close, and large stocks of gunpowder smoke have appeared on the bows of some ships, accompanied by a rumbling sound. Resounding through the sea, the pirates finally took out the master cannon at the bottom of the box and aimed at Helen and the gunboat. In an eye, countless black spots exploded around the boat, and as soon as they had some advantages, they were suddenly submerged in the human sea tactics.

At this time, the Tianhai ship, which had already slowed down, used its huge body to block the passage of the pirates to continue to chase the fleet. In the thick smoke of the ship, two fire tongues suddenly spewed out to support the gunboats that stood by their side but did not leave. They were two temporary firing with Maxim machine guns. It turned out that since Tianhai Ship was ordered to slow down, the captain knew that this was the tactic of the fleet abandoning the car to protect the commander. Since he knew that he would die, he burst into unprecedented resistance. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, waiting for the pirate ship to approach and give full play to the advantage of the machine gun.

The rising pirates forgot that the freighter had machine guns. The two sailboats that were ready to bypass the Tianhai ship to continue to chase. Suddenly, their heads suppressed by the machine guns could not be raised. Even the high main mast was interrupted by the hissing of the machine gun, and they could not chase them down. Although the pirates thought that the Pacific Cargo fleet would abandon the car to protect the coach, they didn't expect to use thick smoke, and they were so angry that they concentrated all their firepower on the Tianhai ship.

A few ships were immediately separated and circled behind the back along the range of the machine gun. The sailors and security guards knew that this was the most critical moment. Only by dragging the pirates for a while could their companions escape further, so they picked up their weapons one after another and launched the most cruel white-hand battle. .

For a moment, you and I fought happily on the sea. The thick black smoke blocked the eyes of the pirates who continued to chase the fleet like a curtain, and the Tianhai ship and the gunboat were like two ghostly sharks. No matter how the pirates attacked, they were stalled and procrastinating, and even crashed directly with the ship's shell. A wooden-shell three-masted sailboat!

The pirate fleet also knew that if the two ships were not killed, they could not continue to pursue. They could only watch the fleet getting farther and farther away and vent their anger on the Tianhai ships and gunboats.

At this time, on a sailboat with a strange fish head in the center of the pirate fleet, a small old-fashioned monocular quietly stretched out from the side porthole of the ship, staring at the blood cloud dragon claw flag hanging on the Tianhai ship and the gunboat, and the eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters.

"Third sister, it's time for us to go!" The young man, naked and waving two revolvers, excitedly pushed open the hatch and shouted at the handsome figure still holding the telescope.

Hearing the man's shouting, the figure paused slightly, suddenly put down the telescope and said, "Go and tell Wang Tiger, we won't do this business!"

"What! I won't do it." The young man almost couldn't believe his ears. Seeing that it was his turn to fight, and the other party's gunboat was entangled. As long as he boarded the burning cargo ship, the deal would be done! Why did the third sister shout to stop at this critical time?!

The man was puzzled, but he seemed to be a little afraid of his sleid back. After a pause, he muttered, "Third sister, but we have all promised Wang Tiger. I'm afraid if we leave now." Before the man finished speaking, his back suddenly turned around and interrupted him: "Send it on, don't do it, withdraw immediately!"

The man looked at the familiar third sister and looked at her exquisite cheeks and painted cold eyes. After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and rushed out unwillingly.

Seeing the man leave, the woman raised her telescope again and looked at the still fluttering battle flag. Her heart was as if she was covered by the smelly black smoke over the cargo ship, throbbing and uneasy.

The fish head boat quietly left, but it did not attract the attention of the pirates who had long been red-eyed. They still rushed to the Tianhai ship like wolves. The dense sound of gunfire and a hook claws soon drowned the Tianhai ship. Even the escorted gunboat fell into a heavy siege and could not get rid of it by the pirate gunboats. Body.

At this moment, a small British [***] ship suddenly jumped out of the horizon and galloped towards the battlefield defense line. This sudden accident, not to mention the rise of pirates, even Akashi Genjiro and others who had been hiding in the cabin were shocked.

Tan Wang also saw the British [***] ship. He was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly asked people to call for help. What he and all the crew did not expect was that the British, who had been claiming to fight against pirates to maintain safety, had received a signal and hesitated for a moment without saying a word to accelerate and leave the battlefield!

Tan Wang smashed the telescope on the deck fiercely. Looking at the Tianhai ship, which was getting lighter and lighter in the thick smoke in the distance, and almost all the dumb gunboats, he wiped the corners of his eyes hard and shouted fiercely.

"The dog said!"

(to be continued)
