Chapter 23 Sneak Attack

The two boats under the Hejianglong's command were slowly sailing on the sea. Both boats raised half sails. The speed of the boat was not high, and they looked a little lazy and wandered on the sea.

This area is the northeast corner of Haitan Island, between Dongqi Island and Xiaoqi Island. Recently, because people with mixed river dragons often haunt near Dalian Island, robbing and robbed some passing ships passing through the Haitan Strait from time to time, so that the Haitan Strait, which used to be relatively safe, has become very unsafe now.

So some ships went north as a last resort and began to change their route and took a detour to the north of the waterway on the east side of Haitan Island, trying to avoid the boats that might appear along the way.

Originally, the controllers of this area should belong to Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragons, but recently, Liu Yidao, one-eyed dragon and others have disappeared, as if they have given up this area and had no direct conflict with the people of the mixed river dragon.

After a few days, Hun Jianglong's men began to relax, not as nervous as when they first came here. In their opinion, their colleagues in Fuzhou have been scared out of their courage by them, and now no one dares to fight against them again.

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

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

Except for some of the people paying attention to the situation of the sea, the rest of the people on the ship hid in the cabin or set up a canopy on the ship to block the poisonous sunlight from the sky.

The sky looked very clean after the baptism of a typhoon. After the sun exposed its head for a long time, it became much hotter. The board of the boat was so hot that I almost dared not step on it barefoot.

Women's begging for mercy and crying kept coming from the cabin. From time to time, Hun Jianglong's men went in and out of the cabin with a smile. Some people didn't lift their trousers when they came out, and looked proud.

The shipkeeper of the two ships was also relaxed at this time. He got a big chair and lay under the tent temporarily set up on the stern to enjoy the cool while drinking a little wine comfortably, waiting for the next target to appear. When he was bored, he laughed and scolded his men from time to time.

But none of them expected that in a bay on the east side of Dongqi Island, there were several ships similar to them at this time, and the sails of all the ships fell down. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find these masts erected in the bay.

In the corner of Dongqi Island, two people squatted under the shade of trees, and their bodies were covered by grass. They observed the two mixed river dragon boats on the sea from afar, but at this time, the sun was already slanting west, and the light of the sunset sprinkled on the sea, shining on the sea surface, and the reflected sunlight slightly affected their sight.

This also forced the two people to stare at the two boats on the sea carefully for fear that they would run out of sight if they were not careful.

In addition, near Dongqi Island, there are two small sampan that look like fishing boats far away on the edge of the field of vision of the two boats. They are also observing the movements of the two boats, constantly rowing, and slowly following the two boats to monitor their movements.

Although Yu Xiaotian also felt very hot, he wore a navy blue suit and meticulously wore it on him. Because the weather was too hot, everyone on the boat wore a small bucket hat, which could cover their bare scalp and not be sunburned by the poisonous sun.

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

These men are now basically shaved into bald heads to show that they are also members of the sea wolf. There is a way in front of the car and behind them. Most people still accept this arrangement, but many people are very reluctant to give up. After all, the hair on this head has been followed them for many years. Unexpectedly, someone burst into tears on the spot.

But while the bald head brings them benefits, it also makes them feel the pain of the sun shining on their scalp under the scorching sun, so Yu Xiaotian asked people to buy these bamboo hats and distribute them. In this way, this thing can block the sun on sunny days and rain on rainy days, which is very practical.

However, after his men put on the hats and lined up collectively, Yu Xiaotian regretted his decision, because after these guys put on indigo clothes, leggings, and put on the hats, they turned into a group of old concession patrols, which was seriously inconsistent with his aesthetics.

In his opinion, even if it is impossible to distribute decent military uniforms to these subordinates now, at least the top helmet is more beautiful. Such a dress really looks a little funny. Unfortunately, he has limited resources now and can't do this at all, so 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 the subordinates feel satisfied. They unified their clothes and unified their hats. In the eyes of these tasteless guys, they are already quite neat, so after changing new clothes, they put on new clothes one by one. Wearing a bamboo hat, they are as arrogant as 250,000 and 80,000 on Nanri Island, which makes those who are not qualified to wear like this are quite jealous.

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

But he did not choose to immediately rush directly to the Haitan Strait to find the ship of the mixed river dragon there, but took several boats to the vicinity of Dongqi Island.

At night, they entered the pre-selected bay and moored, and scattered several ssams. In addition, they stationed dark whistles at all corners of Dongqi Island and began to search for the men of the mixed river dragons that may appear nearby.

Hard work pays off. On the third day they secretly entered Dongqi Island, these two mixed river dragon ships appeared near Dongqi Island. Like the news of the small boats that came here to investigate in advance, the two boats had been wandering around this area for many days, when the typhoon passed. , and they came here again.

Wang Hong walked to Yu Xiaotian's side and asked Xiaotian, "With our current strength, although we dare not say that we will be able to turn over Jianglong, with the ability of our brothers, at least we will no longer be beaten by the mixed river dragons in Nangantang like last time!"

Why hide here and secretly ambush them? They only have two boats now. Can't we solve them when we go out?

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I know you can't help it! Since I come out this time, I want to do a good job, but our strength is not as good as that of Hun Jianglong. If we come hard, although we may not lose to Hun Jianglong, we will definitely lose both sides in the end!

This is not the result I want, so when I came out, I said that we should first clean up all the men sent by Hun Jianglong, and then give Hun Jianglong a fatal blow!

Although we can definitely easily kill these two ships under the Hujianglong now, if they find that we are early, if they don't fight with us and turn around and run away, we may not be able to keep them!

So don't worry. After dark, the two ships will definitely find a place to stop and rest. It's not too late for us to deal with them!"

Wang Hong only clicked his head to agree, looked up at the gradually slanting sun, and almost dozed off.

Under everyone's hard waiting, the sky finally darkened, and a sampan quickly drove into the bay and leaned against Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf.

The people on the samp board quickly climbed up the boat Sea Wolf and quickly walked to Yu Xiaotian and said, "The two mixed river dragon boats have sailed to Xiaoqi Island. It seems that they are going to spend the night on Xiaoqi Island tonight!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Okay! As we explored last time, these guys are resting on Little Itchy Island these days, and their good days are coming to an end tonight!

Wang Hong, tell the brothers that you can be prepared and start to do it in the middle of the night to cheer up the big guys and don't make any trouble at night!"

After the day turned completely dark, several boats began to raise their sails. Each ship hung a red lantern at the stern as a sign for the rear ships to observe the distance. At night, the provincial fleet dispersed as soon as they went to sea or collided with the ship.

The captain of each ship had received orders in advance, so after going to sea, he was headed by Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf, and the rest of the ships followed it, slowly bypassed Dongqi Island and headed for Xiaoqi Island not far away.

Although it was night on Xiaoqi Island, it did not stop. Hun Jianglong's men got off the boat and went to the shore one after another. These days, they grabbed a lot of things, food and drink. On Xiaoqi Island, they lived temporarily, and there were also captured women, which made them noisy on the island.

But they didn't know that a huge net was covering their heads. Just as they had tossed enough and many people lay down and fell asleep, someone suddenly sounded the alarm gong on the boat.

The harsh sound of gongs spread far away in the silent night. The men of the mixed river dragon who had just fallen asleep all got up from the ground and looked up at the sea in panic.

At this time, they took advantage of the moonlight of a crooked moon in the sky and saw the shadowy shadows of several boats on the sea, and these boats stopped their ships from leaving the shore and sailed towards the shore.

"Get up and get on the boat, grandma, we are being targeted!" A leader in charge of the boat exclaimed.
