Several official ships hanging from Daming Suzhou are slowly walking above the sea, because the sea wind is small at this time, and the speed of the ship is much slower than in the previous days.

This is a few about twenty days before and after, there are also six or seven large ships on the left and right, although these ships are far better than the treasure ships that were taken when Zheng He went to the West, but in today's maritime sector, the country is a rare giant ship, this ship is worth more than the ordinary people's three or five ships.

However, even when such a large ship sailed on this clear blue sea, it still seemed so small that it was surrounded by sea water and could not see its head at a glance.And this morning, there was still a fog in the sea, and the heavy mist was as woven as a yarn, blocking everything around it, making people more and more unable to see the specific conditions ahead.

But even so, several large ships did not anchor and wait for the fog to disperse, but continued to sail forward without delay, but the cloth men standing around the ship were alert to look at the situation after the fog, in case something would suddenly kill from behind the mist.

Walking on the big ship in the middle position, Jiang Tao, deputy commander of Suzhou Wei, suddenly shook his head after looking forward for a while: "Excluding today, we have been out to sea for nearly half a month?"

He Chun, who was next to him, nodded and confirmed: "Returning to the general, we are in the sea at the beginning of September, and it is now twenty-two, just half a month."

"Half a month, there is no so-called thieves, you say they will see what is broken, so they are hiding?" 」Ginger seemed to say with some doubts.

“This...it’s not easy to say.When the former inferiority brought people into the sea, he was also a thief who had not encountered the sea in the past month, and the result could only be returned without success.”He Chuan replied with a bitter face: "I only hope that this time we can meet the thieves who kill a thousand knives."When he said this, he also subconsciously looked back into the cabin and looked inside, where hundreds of decked bows were sitting, and the spirit was shaking.

In order to find the plundered and killed countless thieves at sea merchants, this time the Suzhou official government sent thousands of elites.Not only are the soldiers and horses the most elite, but even the weapons are far superior to the same number of troops, all of them have bows and arrows, and knives and guns for fighting near and far on the water, plus each ship is also equipped with a high-kill crossbow gun, and its military strength is to attack any small country around it.Now, the target of these thousands of elite soldiers is only a group of thieves who do not know the whereabouts of the sea, it is no wonder that Jiang Tao only worried that the other party will not dare to appear.

He smiled, but he didn’t say much more, just his eyes were still staring at the front.

At this time, the power of the sun finally appeared, under the irradiation of golden light, the original heavy fog slowly dissipated, although there are some blocking people's eyes, but the sea situation three or five miles ahead has been completely presented to everyone.Then, the soldiers in charge of observing the enemy in the boat almost exclaimed, “What is that?”

Jiang also saw in the first place that more than a dozen medium-sized warships with completely different styles from the Central Plains ships that were rapidly approaching on their side on the sea in front, and their eyes suddenly squinted, and their heartbeat accelerated sharply: "Is it finally coming?"

He judged well that the more than a dozen ships that sailed out of the thick fog like ghosts were the pirate fleets headed by the Black Pearl.On the first Black Pearl, Lobenz was staring excitedly at the big ships that were obviously several times larger than the ones he had hijacked than before, like a hungry beast staring at his prey.Then he opened his mouth and showed some mutilated black teeth: "Finally, I didn't miss them!"

Poorly, because there is always a fog in the sea in the past two days, these distant pirates who are not too familiar with the sea here are actually looking in the wrong direction.It was five days late until they found that they were in a wrong position and rushed to correct the route.

However, "Fortunately", these merchant ships in Ming China are not too fast, and they are still catching up with them.Unfortunately, this mist is a little timeless, if in a little while, when the ships of the two sides are closer before they disperse, their pirate ships will kill them with abrupt situation, which will inevitably have a greater deterrent effect.

But Lobenz stopped thinking about these details, and immediately turned back to his deputy, and ordered his ship's deputy: "Shen Wei, let them drive the ship faster, surround these big ships, but don't let the prey escape."The wealth of this ship is enough for us for a few years!”

Shi Wei quickly promised to come down loudly, even if he waved the black flag in his hand, and issued a flag order to those companions on his back.At this time, the pirates of several ships immediately clamored and took control of the boat as if it were a flexible fish to surround the four large ships that looked very stupid, vowing to swallow all the fat in their mouths.

Because these pirate ships are in the relationship between the upper tuyere, once they speed up, the ship will travel fast, only a cup of tea, the two sides will only have a distance, which makes the Ming army ship and other people can clearly see each other's appearance.

And this glance, but let a prepared soldier's heart is a pinch: "This... what is this?"Is it true, as legend says, that it was the ghost night fork that attacked my Daming sea ship?”

Indeed, in the eyes of the great Ming people who have never seen a European species, these skins are scary, with blond hair, and the highly stature Dutch pirates do look at it like the legendary monster.Especially when they saw the windy white skull flag on the top of the black pearl mast, the more they noticed that this speculation was somewhat justified.

After all, is there a guy who would be so shy and swagger over the city with the most unlucky things like the skull on his head?

The fear and doubt in this heart made the soldiers who had already come out of the cabin hesitated a little, and their faces showed a look of panic, and their morale was one of them.

This is naturally ginger to see in the eyes, although his heart is also a period of uneasiness, but at this time the enemy can not have any intention of retreating, so immediately shouted: "Now the sky and white, Lang Lang Qian, how can there be any ghosts out of the murder, it must be pretended to be a ghost!"Moreover, we are the great tomorrow army, even if it is really a ghost, we have to retreat and prepare the crossbow for me!"

His scolding role is still quite obvious, originally some girded hands and feet, I don't know if the front of the soldiers finally moved up, there are a few soldiers immediately took out the size of the thick and thin spear, installed into the crossbow gun, calculate the distance and angle between the two sides, ready to be a pre-emptive.

But at this moment, the pirate ship Black Pearl suddenly slowed down, and the black iron cannon, which was half-man high on the bow, opened fire on this side in a roar.

As a long history of crossing Europa's waters, so that countless state government forces have been helpless to their sea bandits, Robnz and his men naturally have a superior ability.The gun on the Black Pearl was one of the killing tricks they relied on.

In the past, they could always rely on both sides to send a direct shot to the enemy's ship before the battle, making it difficult to move, and then rely on flexible tactics to kill the resisters on the ship.When the casualties on the target ship are almost the same, these pirates will use ropes and other things to jump to fight and clean up the final pieces.

Moreover, even if the gun does not cause much damage, after this shock, the people on the other side's ship will inevitably be frightened, and it will be much easier to fight.

Today, Rhodos used the same tactic, a black cannonball with a fierce howl, directly hit the side side of a large ship, hit the ship carrying more than three hundred sergeants for a while bumpy, the people on it are also followed by a wave of east and west, so that it is not wrong.

When the other pirates saw this, they all laughed wildly and frightfully, and they could no longer bear it, and immediately drove the ship to the four large ships.Although there were no artillery on other pirate ships, the fighting style they had developed over the years kept them moving forward.Moreover, the previous looted Da Ming merchant ships often because they were bombarded in person and completely messed up, allowing them to quickly approach the killing, so these pirates habitually used the same means again.

This time, however, they were clearly underestimating the opponent.Although the front of the big ship was wounded, the others on several other ships became calm at this time.The reason is simple, before they were just surprised at the appearance of these pirates, thinking that they would make a demon.However, as a result, they saw that the other party was only firing a shot, which was not a threat to the generals who had seen the power of the artillery.

Although the ship was not equipped with artillery, the power of the crossbow gun was not small.Seeing the small pirate ships scrambling to kill, the faces of the generals showed a contemptuous smile, which was simply not enough to see.

Then the general quickly gave the order: “Arrow!”

The nature he ordered to release was not an ordinary crossbow, but a number of cannons that hit both sides of the hull.With a single order, several large ships quickly lowered their sails, swung round, and crossed over, pointing several guns on one side of the attack on the city against the enemy.

The wooden hammer struck down, and the tight bow chords suddenly turned back, driving the huge arrows of the man's legs as if they were running lightning, and after passing a distance, they accurately hit the pirate boat that rushed to the front.And then...

The giant arrow shot the boat like a piece of paper, and together with the pirates who were screaming excitedly on the ship, they scattered into the blue ocean, and a bright red...
