1998 First encounter with pirates

The speed of ships in the sea is generally fixed. The roots cannot have such a fast speed. The pirates over there obviously also found that the speed of these ships coming towards them is very fast, and they There seem to be dense small grids on both sides of the ship. I really don’t know what these things do. Everyone knows that the sides of the ship should be made stronger. If you do this, you can’t sail on the sea for too long. Knowing where these people came from, they felt even more strange as the distance got closer. There was no sail on this boat. How did they get here?Did it come by shaking the scull?Impossible. If this is in some rivers in the inland, it should be no problem, but now this is the sea, and you have to sail for several years if you move, how can this be always working, no matter how powerful people are Can't help it, what's going on?Besides, besides some large official ships of the imperial court, it is impossible for other ships to come here. How did they come here?Looking at their size, they are very huge, and there are no signs on them. These guys seem to have suddenly appeared from the sea, and they appear strange.

"Boss, the speed of these ships is surprisingly fast. It's better for us to retreat quickly. These guys seem to be unkind. If they really want to fight us, we are not necessarily opponents of others." The head of the house looked at the front and said that he was also scared to death in his heart.

"Idiot, what are you afraid of. They are nothing more than a little faster speed. Look at their boats, they don’t have any offensive weapons at all, that is, they don’t even have a collision on the bow. Why should we be afraid? They are, they may be new things developed by the court, maybe there will be a lot of things we need on them, this time there will be a lot of good things on these ships, who knows it’s some purchased garbage Thing, how much money can this be worth? That’s just a few hundred thousand dollars. Thousands of our brothers dispatched these hundreds of thousands of dollars? Leave them alone. Tell them that our cape gang is doing things and tell them to get away. One point, if we want to fight against us, we are not afraid of them, and even eat them together." The one-eyed boss said disdainfully.He is very good in this generation of seas.The surrounding pirates or government officials generally wouldn't come to fight him.This guy has a set of commands in the sea, and this is one of the reasons why everyone dare not come over, many times he is the overlord here.Even some court officials on the shore contacted him and gave him a portion of the money every year, hoping that he would not engage in trouble in his own jurisdiction. He himself was very arrogant, as you can tell from his words.

"Yes, yes, what the boss said is that the second master, we should hurry up and work at this stall." The third master came over and said. The two people have been fighting for a long time. If you encounter such an opportunity, you don't work hard. The smelly guy was really sorry for his meal, and he didn't show mercy to his men.

These pirates usually live in such a lawless manner. Now naturally, these ships will not appear temporarily and adapt their own ideas. They are kings in the sea. They will not be afraid of anyone’s threat. Speaking of these people, even if the navy of the Southern Empire came out, the navy’s army could not be found in the north. It’s no wonder that they are on the sea every day, and they are very concerned about making a living. It’s very clear that their ships are remodeled very powerfully, and their technology is also very powerful. If the navy can’t catch them, they can continue the next time, but if they are If the navy is caught, it will be a great thing. Not only will their heads fall off, some families with relatives will be even killed, so their boss will tell them It’s absolutely impossible to fail, because you don’t have that chance. As long as you fail for the first time, your life is over. There is no time to go back. The difference between them and the navy is this. If you want to be a better place, you have to practice your own affairs a little better at ordinary times. This is the standard for living well.

One by one, these pirates began to use the rope on the mast to rush to the other’s ship. The other side was also an official ship, and there seemed to be two more powerful archers on it, at least a second-level archer. Several people were shot to death by these guys. If they used to trap the entire ship, let time slowly toss these masters. The masters are also human, and they will get tired, but Now it’s different from that time. The fleet behind will come over soon. They don’t have so much time to wait for these guys to gradually get tired. They have their own business, and they want to use these people. There is another way to get rid of them. Their method is to rush up against the hostages. Of course, if the people inside don’t take these hostages seriously, there is nothing to do. They can only rush up, relying on a swarm of swarms to go up, unfortunately. The one naturally lost his life, and the others could kill this guy.

In twenty-five minutes, they killed all three ships. The boss looked at his gang of brothers happily. He captured about 400 people and lost dozens of them on his side. Yes, these guards are their best supplement. These people usually lose things and they will definitely be beheaded when they go back. If they go back, they would definitely not be as good as a pirate. The people under his team followed him at first. Those, the rest of the people are basically like this, of course, he will let these people hand in a satisfactory answer sheet, otherwise they will not let them follow him, buying insurance is needed.

"Boss, the search is clear. Except for the spices and clothing materials on the boat, there are only four boxes of silver. It's really bad, damn, if the things on this boat are sold, the maximum is less than 300,000 silver, damn. Looking at such a good ship, why is it such a little valuable thing, it’s really bad luck.” The second master came over depressed and reported to the boss that they originally thought that these ships had to have one hundred thousand dollars. Who knows that's the point. These ships are all very good ships. They won't suffer a loss if they dragged them back, but they felt uncomfortable not finding what they had booked.

"Okay, don't be so annoyed. This is not as bad as we thought. At least we have so many people. These boats are still very good if we go back and remodel them. It happens to be ours. The boat is not so good. If we continue to use those boats, we may have problems in the future. Now it’s great to have these supplements. By the way. Call me all those people. I want them. Have a good chat with them and see how well they are, right. Are there women?" Among pirates, silver is the first, and the second is women. They really miss women.

"Farewell, ***, there is not a single woman among the hundreds of people. I really don’t know what they think they are ***, even if there is such a cook, who knows that there is not even one. It was also our worst failure. The brothers had no interest in playing with those in the old nest. They just stripped naked and walked in front of our eyes. No one wants to take a second look, these bastards. , Don’t let us survive.” The second master is also a silly ghost, and it is his most depressing thing to talk about this matter. If he can, he would rather not rob these ships.

"Boss, it's not the time to say this. We should do something else. This fleet seems to be closer to us. Are we going to run away now? They seem to be unkind. To be honest, I had this feeling before, and I was a little scared. Last time we fought against those guys, I also had this feeling. Brother, this feeling is very accurate.” The third master came over and said, He has always been the brain-tank of this team. Generally speaking, he is responsible for making suggestions, but he is in charge of fighting and charging. The two of them are fighting openly and secretly, but there is a boss in it to balance, their small team It’s still very good. Now that the third child has such an idea, something will definitely happen. The boss is still very convinced of this problem, so now he also wants to retreat a bit, but if he goes straight now, this ship But they can’t take it home. Their pirate ships are much faster than these official ships. Sometimes the official ships want a momentum, but they don’t need other things. The pirates need speed. In this regard, the two types of ships are diametrically opposed. If you want to leave, you have to drop the biggest gain this time, and even the captives can't ask for it.

"Boss, brothers, how can you say you don’t want to get back with the dozens of lives in exchange. Those guys are approaching, but you can see what kind of ships they are. They are just some cargo ships. Isn’t the speed faster? That’s it, we might as well simply rob them too, so that we’ve gained enough. Anyway, they ran into it on their own. It’s nothing to do with us. Today they are out of luck. If they meet us, you think the boss If we can use their speed, we will be able to catch up with all the ships. In the future, we don’t need to be afraid of anyone chasing after us. This sea area is really our world, no Others, just this thing, I feel that we should do it.” The second master is also plausible. The third one sees this thing and it will be bad. Every time the second is smarter than himself, he will use some of these. Huyou boss, it is for this reason that he has made so many contributions and now he can only be the third child, and this guy is the second child if he is brave and has studied it many times, maybe this guy Even a wise and foolish guy, there is also a fight in the small bandit team. This is very certain, there are everywhere, there will be no lack.

"Okay, no need to say more, I have already made a decision myself." Seeing what the third child wanted to say, the boss quickly waved his hand, and the feeling of insecurity in the third child's heart came again. "Lao San, you take your brothers here to continue cleaning the battlefield. Take away everything you can take away. If you can’t take away, just burn it with Lao Tzu. It’s useless to stay. Yes, the second child, ask the brothers to give it to me, I don’t believe it, how capable they can be. Tell them to see how powerful our cape gang is.” The boss said, the third child shook his head helplessly. This is the case every time, and the loss has gone.

Here, Li Cong looked at the pirate ship in front of him with some surprise. They could be divided into two parts. Only five ships came. The rest should be dealing with the things on the ship. These guys are all there. Li Cong suddenly understood whether there was a problem with their brains when doing something like that.These own ships are very strange.But they still can't give them any deterrence. These guys are thinking about why they don't take prisoners by themselves. Since this is the case, let their first battle begin.Li Cong nodded towards the fleet commander Desi.This kid was the first to accept those naval theories that Li Cong said.In the exercise, the squadron he led killed several other similar fleets. His strength has been demonstrated in actual combat, and he should be able to quickly resolve these five pirate ships.They want to do it?That is absolutely impossible. What awaits them is death.

Desi also knew that this war was definitely a turning point for him. A dozen or so fleet commanders like him did not get this opportunity. They all have official positions but no ranks. He hopes to get the rank of the first brigadier general. In his eyes, it was like a knighthood given by the court. The treatment offered by the firm was different. The colonel and the brigadier general were a little bit different, but the treatment was different, as long as he could After obtaining the rank of brigadier general, all the descendants of one's three generations will receive a living fund. Although it is not very much, it is enough for them to have a good food and clothing. That's all they can do. People work hard outside. It was to spell out a copy of the sky for his descendants. He saw Li nodding his head and immediately began his command. Next to him stood two semaphore soldiers. Their task was to quickly give his orders. Spread out, this era does not have any communication tools. Everything on the sea depends on this. If you shout out, it is simply nonsense. There are no barriers on the sea, and everything is open. , Even if you break your throat, it is useless. In the end, you can only make the voice farther and farther, which is completely different from the echo on the land.

"All non-combat fleets are beginning to slow down, waiting here, all combat ships, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110 turn, sail from north to south, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 turn, from Sailing from south to north, attacking each other, and turning around after arriving at both ends. Four ships of 111, 112, 113, and 114 carried out outer interception, 115, 116, and 117 prepared, and 118 maneuvered. This is just a mob, not our navy. The opponents of the First Division told my brothers that this battle is our first stop. This will be written into history, so that they will be like me, who make history." Desi imitated Li Cong's tone and began. Saying these things, but sometimes I still feel a little lack of heat, this young master's tone seems to be completely different from his own, anyway, he is not as good as others, this may be the gap between them and himself, but I am indeed the protagonist today, even more protagonist than the young master.

After more than a dozen warships received the news, they immediately began to change. Their current communication system is still a bit weak. They now have two observers constantly observing the orders from the flagship, and then repeating them. , The two people around them will shout things like loudspeakers at the people around them, one by one, which can be said to be a waste of time, but it’s okay, because they have binoculars, the other navy estimates The contact information is much slower than that of them. They can only see with their naked eyes. If you look at it that way, there will be many problems, and sometimes they may send wrong orders. These pirates It also needs to be passed, but their semaphore is much simpler, but they did not do anything wrong, because their tacit understanding came out in actual combat, and their captains can understand what other captains mean. Even the gestures can be seen very clearly.

The five ships of the pirates are also lined up, but they are coming in side by side. They don’t understand what these people mean, how can they put up such a formation, exposing their side, it’s really true I have never seen such a thing, if the side is exposed, just hit it directly.What else is there to fight? A group of pirates are laughing cheerfully on their boats, these guys who don’t know how to fight, I really don’t know how they usually do it. You don’t need to panic like this when you encounter pirates. Only the third master saw something wrong in his heart when he saw it in the rear. It is estimated that the boss and the second will not be able to come back. Do you want to make some plans for your own future? He asked someone to move all the valuables to a ship On the Clippers, the rest of the things are taught to those of the boss, as for the second.Few people were left at this moment.All *** followed the second child to the front to rob, the third child also brought his men to the take away Clippers, and later if something went wrong, he would have to take them and start to escape.At that time, my own people were more reliable.And when I go back, I want to be the boss.Those people who need their own stand up to help themselves, how can they not bring them.

"Report, the two ships 101 and 105 entered the firing angle. The two captains asked if they could fire the guns?" Desi’s adjutant came up and reported that although the military salute is not so perfect, it already has a decent meaning. , Such a person still looks very good and has a future in the future.

"Order the captains and tell them that as long as they enter the best shooting angle they consider, they can shoot themselves. What I want to see now is their own command ability." Desi also found that at this time. The feeling that thousands of troops are in their own hands is really very good.

After receiving the order, the captains started their actions one by one. They all started their preparatory work. All of them have already begun to take aim. Li Cong is also very looking forward to this scene, because of this. I’ve never seen the scene of ‘’s on Earth. The naval battles on the planet depend on missiles or even laser cannons. Such a battle like a cannon has never been encountered before. Of course, this is also It was not a decisive battle of the cannon. It was a one-sided war. Li Cong sat at the top of the flagship and watched this scene cheerfully. He also adapted the planet himself. Although it changed the development of the planet, he felt that satisfaction. It’s unprecedented. The pirates on the opposite side can also be said to have died without regret, because they have also become witnesses of history, but this sacrifice is their lives. Soon Li Cong heard the first voice of the giant No. 101 in the distance fired first, and then 105 followed.

A total of 610 artillery pieces on this side of the two warships are already ready. According to the captain’s order, all of their artillery guns are fired in order. The maximum is 20 artillery salvos. They will never let all of them. The artillery all fired together. If this is the case, it is estimated that the entire ship may be disintegrated immediately because of the strong recoil. Starting from the first blasthole on the upper left, one cannonball will be fired out every three seconds. , The 102 and 106 ships following them will also enter the firing angle in two minutes, and they will add it. For such a formation, if there are thousands of horses in front of them, they will probably be killed, but There are not so many ships and people now. There are only five ships. Although there are ten ships in the distance, they are all too far away. Li would never have them equipped with cannons with such a long range. Everything has to be gradual. How can it start all at once?

How can there be such an attack pattern?Such a loud noise?How is this going?All the pirates are confused about this matter. They haven’t made such a big movement on their ship, and they have never seen it before, but when they were wondering, they were suddenly ten meters in front of them. There was a water column that was ten meters high, and a huge noise was made. What happened? Everyone looked around him. When they saw that the surrounding water column started to be higher than one, they I finally knew that this was an attack by others, and it seemed to be something like a catapult.

Finally, when the fifteenth gate was launched, one of the pirates’ ships was hit. The shells are solid shells. In this era, they are the most useful against sailing warships. Flower shells are the kind of explosions. The shells can only deal with some people on the deck. The shells directly smashed several layers of wooden boards, and directly opened a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter in the bottom of the ship. The water is beginning to enter, and there will be something under them that can block the boat, but a hole that big.It’s still at the bottom of the ship. If it’s on both sides of the ship, there might be a way. But this is at the bottom of the ship. No matter how the *** is blocked, no one will be below the pirates, one by one. Running towards the deck, of course, they still wouldn't believe that they had failed at this time. They just felt a little scared of this unknown thing. A dozen sailors ran up from below.They heard a loud noise when they first ran to the deck.Then a huge wave of air came, and then someone felt that they were hit somewhere all over their body, and then they were blown up by this wave of air, and then they headed out of the boat.Flew into the sea.I also saw my blood floating in the air.One pirate ship was reimbursed, and the remaining four pirate ships were dumbfounded, and the pirate boss was directly reimbursed by a shell.Only two warships opened fire, and the remaining captains cursed the two warships vigorously, but they couldn't continue firing. Now the battle is over before it starts. If they continue to fire, it would be a waste of ammunition. It’s absolutely impossible to do such things. Fighting at sea is absolutely different from that on land. Everything is very precious. No matter how you do it, you must keep yourself well. All combat supplies.

The remaining ships dare not act rashly at this time. They must show their sincerity. Otherwise, they may continue to attack them. The remaining ships will immediately attack some of their own ships. The sex weapon was thrown into the ocean. As for things like raising a white flag, they probably wouldn't be able to, because they didn't have such an education.

"Master, they seem to have given up resistance, shall we continue to attack?" Desi said after seeing the other's actions.

"Hehe, my commander, these people are all pirates. As you saw just now, their actions are very powerful. If we don't have such a strong force at the moment, they would have killed them. So Do you want us to listen to them? Now let me continue to order the remaining ships to fire, and at the same time prepare warships to rush for me, and just grab the ships behind. We also need a few people who can give us news. That's it, why do you need so many captives? Don't you think we have a lot of food?" Li Cong said with a smile, these pirates will rob people every day, if they are still active in this place, their navy will definitely act It’s not very convenient. For the other three empires, their seas should be quiet. It’s better not to show up other ships. Otherwise, it’s not easy for Li Cong to keep secrets. It's better to send them all to the bottom of the sea. This way of doing things is in line with Li Cong's philosophy of doing things.

"Yes." Desi's military salute was still very standard, and he immediately went down to deliver the order. In fact, even if he didn't say that the captains below wanted to fire a few shots, it all came out. Once Desi’s orders were given, the warships that hadn’t fired the guns immediately rushed up. It seemed that if they were going to rush more slowly, this matter might not be their turn. On top of it, this kind of thing lasted for about five minutes. After five minutes, these guys were all honest, because there was no target within their range on the sea, and now they just want to attack. It is possible, because all the pirates have already gone to the bottom of the sea except for those behind.

The master and the second master have both gone down to feed the fish. These three masters are happily trying to tell their people to sail and escape immediately. The two shells have arrived in front of them, which means to tell you, unless you are a fool. , Otherwise, let’s try our cannonball thing. The third masters naturally dare not make fun of their own life. They quickly ordered the boat to stop. In fact, they can’t run out no matter how fast they run, but this It's on the ocean, so it's better to be able to stop.

The rest of these people have no idea of ​​continuing to fight. Thousands of people in front of them died directly, not even a single hair was left. In fact, their current distance can completely bring those who fell into the water. They were picked up, but they didn’t want to get them up one by one. This is really unruly. If they move and the enemy’s artillery hits their heads, we will also fall into the water. In this way, it is better for us to preserve our own.

Li Cong's Marines leaned in quickly, and one by one, they boarded the boat with a serial crossbow.The pirates really cooperated very well. All the people were fighting well on the deck. They had never seen such an army and such an offensive method. To be honest, they were all frightened at this moment. If they have any other ideas, even if the people who came up told them to jump off, they would definitely follow suit. If they didn't do that, the consequences would be clear.

"Who is in charge. Our commander has something to ask him. You can see clearly. Honestly, you can still save your own life. If you are not honest, don't blame us for being impolite. You see clearly. We. Doing things is different from the people you meet," said a soldier from the Southern Empire.His accent doesn't need to be heard.At present, this guy's accent is considered acceptable, and other people can be heard by others with just one mouth.

"This... this army master, the younger one belongs to their third-in-command. I don't know what they have ordered, just say it." The third-in-command saw that everyone looked at him, and he cursed these bandits for having no conscience, Mom. Yes, just now I thought that you are Lao Tzu who will take you away. Now that you betray yourself so easily one by one, you shouldn’t have taken you with you. But now when people ask questions, they can't delay, right?

"Three heads? What about the big heads and the second heads? Did I just find a guy to perfuse me because I didn't have a high rank? If this is the case, I think I should send you all down, the fish below But I like you very much." The platoon leader picked his hat brim and said. At this moment, he also felt that they were perfunctory. Is it because the big boss doesn't come out because of his low rank?This *** is a huge challenge to his own face.

"No, no, no.. It's definitely not like that, because our heads and second heads took people with them just now. They have been thrown into the water with our brothers. In fact, this is also overwhelming with them. There is a direct relationship. Just now, I saw your military master’s ship and said that it was not easy to deal with. Let’s not go over and cause trouble to the military master. These two guys don’t listen to me. Look in the past, isn’t this going to happen? The fortune teller said that if both of them are not careful this year, they will have a bloody disaster. Who knows that these two guys really have an accident. Look at the one of them. Looks like it doesn’t have many days.” The little mouth of the third master is still very good at speaking. After a while, he puts all these things on other people, as if his own mistakes, no one else has it. Thing.

"Since this is the case, let me ask you, listen to me, and say whatever I ask. We are surrounded by our boats. Even if you want to escape, it’s not that easy. Something will be done for you in a while. If you can do well, you can still save your life. If you don’t do well, then don’t blame us for being rude.” Since they are going to attack the county city These guys have been here for a long time. They will definitely know a lot of news. If you don’t need to use their news, I’m so sorry to them, so Li Cong feels that these people must give himself Do things.

Soon the platoon leader asked for the news. They are the pirates around here, but they don’t know much about the county town. They can say that they don’t know much about the county town’s news than Li Cong. , It’s true that they didn’t have the guts to go to this county city. Outside the county city, there are naval forces, at least there are more than 20,000 navy forces, and there are nearly a hundred large ships. But there is another one. These naval forces are already They haven't been out for a long time, and they are not very good at fighting such things. It is also very difficult to want them to go out in battle. Recently, their main task is to collect money.

The third master saw Li from now on, but very few performances. Li Cong also admired this guy’s brain very much. Anyway, he also needs a staff who understands local affairs. It is better to use this guy. I might be beheaded or something. I really didn’t expect my luck to be so good. I don’t need to lose my head. I even have work to do. He can follow such a person. He also saw the attack method of their fleet just now. If there is a navy, there is no need to be afraid, twenty thousand navy?Then in front of such a fleet, it's nothing, the navy people have to run when they see them, let alone these people, their affairs are absolutely very tough.

"Master, you can see the mainland in about an hour ahead. It is estimated that there will be naval patrol boats in the periphery, but you may not be able to see them." Three masters hardly let his mouth idle along the way. After that, I wanted to let Li Cong know that he would definitely not suffer from hiring this guy, and now this little mouth can be considered amazing.

"What else would the navy do if they didn't patrol?" Li Cong didn't understand what this guy said. In Li Cong's impression, the navy's patrols should be on fixed routes on a regular basis. How could they not?

"Master, you don't know anything about this. The Southern Empire has not encountered any enemies on the sea for hundreds of thousands of years. The navy is the most useless army. The ships of the Southern Empire are only those belonging to officials. There are not many civilian ships, and there is no need for them to patrol. If these official ships go near the sea, the journey will be a little longer. They have to walk along the coastline. We don’t dare to rob them so far away. Those who travel a long way are also afraid of meeting us, so naturally they don’t want to come out. Even the military headquarters of the Southern Empire recognizes that their navy is a bit redundant all the year round. For nearly a hundred years, the navy’s payment will be lost at every turn. Misappropriated, their warships are all older than their age, and the roots are not our opponents." When the third master talked about the navy of the Southern Empire, his face was full of disdain. He saw In the future, there is no need for these naval roots.

"Hehe, the Southern Empire really made a huge mistake. By the way, how do you feel about the ** county city I am going to rob this time? How much wealth is there?" Li Cong is concerned about this. Yes, there is nothing like a navy, no matter whether he is strong or not, it has nothing to do with him. Because his army can kill them, he is absolutely confident.(To be continued...)
