2429
In the largest house on the island, the pirate leader is gathering.
The biggest pirate leader, Saburo Oki, frowned and said, "What's going on? Is there no news about the third brother yet?"
"There is still no news, but the boss doesn't have to worry too much. The third brother brought two ships, one hundred and fifty people, and it's not easy to keep him. Besides, he is not stupid. When he heard Wang Chao say he wanted to drive the pirate ship back, the village chief suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Young Master Wang, this matter must not be done. The ship cannot be revealed in front of people. Otherwise, if the government knows that he must come to the door to find trouble."
Although the government does not prohibit the people from owning ships, you have to pay taxes if you own a ship. If you have a background, you can get less. If you don’t have a background, it will be very troublesome.
That's why Village Chief Li stopped him.
Village Chief Li made another suggestion that these sea boats cannot show up, but they must have a good reputation and open the joints first. Otherwise, if they appear rashly, they will definitely not work.
Another point is that if Wang Chao wants to make a difference in the future, these sea ships can be used for maritime trade, but in the initial stage, they can be carried out secretly, so the existence of these sea ships will not need to be known to others.
Wang Chao nodded secretly when he heard this.
After the discussion was completed, Village Chief Li and his friends immediately took action separately, looking for someone to find someone and preparing supplies.
When it comes to sailing, they are fishing villages, and there is absolutely no shortage of experts in sailing. However, if you want to fight pirates, it is not enough to have only those who can drive boats. You also need good people who can fight on sea boats. More importantly, you need to be familiar with the guides on sea routes. Without a guide, it is impossible to go to the pirate's nest.
Although Wang Chao had caught several pirates and interrogated them, it was safer to find a few guides when the life bracelet was useless and could not tell whether the other party was lying.
Village Chief Li and others are all local tyrants. They are very familiar with the local situation and can do these things easily.
In just two hours, all the personnel were found. More than 200 people were found, enough to drive the two pirate ships. Half of these 200 people were the ones who could kill with swords and guns. Although they were fishermen, they would never be able to live here without any force or ferocity.
As for the guide, someone was also found.
This guide was invited from a neighboring village, nicknamed Old Man Shui, but his name is because of his excellent water nature. Old Man Shui was a pirate when he was young and knew very well about the surrounding areas and the pirate ways. Now that he is old, he will not be a pirate profession, but everyone is a neighbor, so he naturally knows his background.
This time, I also spent a lot of silver coins to invite the old man to come out.
Old Man Shui also had something to say first, he was only responsible for leading the way and fighting, and he would not participate.
Everyone knows the principle that soldiers are so powerful that they are very fast. You must kill the pirates' nest before they react. Otherwise, things will be even more troublesome when the pirates react.
After the staff arrived, they immediately set off for a full meal.
With these sailors, the two pirate ships also started to move, and then headed towards the old man who was guiding the water toward the old man.
The pirate's nest is actually not secret. As long as the fishermen nearby know where the pirate's nest is, it is not difficult to find it.
The difficulty is that pirates’ nests are built on islands that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most of them have artillery on the islands, so it is not easy to attack pirates’ nests.
So this time the action was not to attack the pirate's nest, but to follow up the opportunity to let Wang Chao sneak into the pirate's nest.
Under the operation of the sailors, the two pirate ships set off quickly and advanced towards the pirate's nest.
Half a day later, the pirate ship approached the pirate's nest and could see a crescent-shaped island from afar.
At this moment, a pirate ship quickly approached, and there were people on the pirate ship chanting flags.
This is a patrol pirate ship, which relies on flag language to contact each other. Fortunately, the flag language has been asked, and Wang Chao's pirate ship quickly blew the flag language.
When the flag words were met, the patrolling pirate ship ignored it and turned around and continued patrolling.
The first level was successfully passed.
Soon, the two pirate ships approached the island, but at this time they could not continue to move towards the entrance on the island.
Because at the entrance of the island, pirates set up a level, each return pirate ship must be inspected at the level. Only when there is no problem can it be released and the pirate ship enters the dock on the island.
Wang Chao and his ships could not withstand the inspection, and they would be exposed as soon as they were checked, so they could not enter through the main entrance, but had to detour to the side of the island and go up to the island from the side.
The sides of the island are not that easy to climb. They are all cliffs and cannot be climbed at all.
However, this is for ordinary people, and for Wang Chao, it is very easy to get up these steep hanging cliffs.
When the sea boat approached the cliff, Wang Chao jumped into the water from the sea boat and swam towards the shore. After a while, he arrived on the shore. Seeing Wang Chao's swimming speed, everyone on the sea boat was shocked again.
These sailors are fishermen on the beach, and they are all good at water quality. However, compared with Wang Chao who was swimming at this time, their water quality is simply not worth mentioning.
Even more surprised was still behind. Wang Chao arrived on the shore and climbed up the rock wall with a slight ease.
They just looked at the steep rock wall and felt scared. They couldn't get up with their bare hands. However, Wang Chao was walking on the rock wall as if he was walking on the flat ground. In just a blink of an eye, Wang Chao climbed halfway up the mountain, and after a moment he was already on the cliff.
Wang Chao, who had been on the cliff, also let out a light breath and looked around with his eyes.
Perhaps because the pirates believed that it was impossible for anyone to come up with the hanging rock cliff, there was no pirate patrol team around them, which made it convenient for Wang Chao's actions.
Looking around from the cliff, there are a large area of houses about half inside and outside, which are one of the pirates' residences.
Wang Chao was not in a hurry to start attacking, but wanted to investigate the situation before talking about it.
After Wang Chao's investigation, he found out the situation on the island.
This island is not large in size, but it is quite large in scale. There are more than a thousand pirates from alien race, which does not include their families. In addition to alien race pirates, there are many people from the Great Zhou. However, judging from the situation of these people from the Great Zhou, they are obviously slaves with no status on the island, and they are all for the people of the Great Zhou to do the dirty, tiring and chores.
The number of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty was more than that of pirates of alien races, but the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty did not dare to resist these pirates, which could be said to be submissive.
However, this is understandable. Although the number of pirates is small, they are all fierce and fierce, and they are not something that these ordinary people can deal with.
The layout of the entire island has also been investigated clearly. On the top floor of the island are the observation tower and the prison cells. Those who can live in the top floor are all captured hostages.
The guards of the cell were not strict, but there was only one path to go down the mountain after leaving the cell. The path was guarded by pirates and could not escape at all. It was impossible to come and rescue the hostages.
From the top of the mountain, on the side of the mountain, it is the residence of the pirates. The fields of houses are closely located on this narrow terrain. From the perspective of several of the better houses, it should be the place where the pirate leader lives.
The pirates live further down the place where the people of the Great Zhou live, and the people of the Great Zhou live are not treated so well. The environment they live is much worse than that of the pirates. Moreover, the people of the Great Zhou live do not depend on each other, but are divided into several areas, with a certain number of Great Zhou people living in each area, and pirates are also stationed to prevent these Great Zhou people from doing anything that should not be done.
Go out from the residence of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and then arrive at the dock. The dock is too important for pirates, so a bunker was built on the dock to block the roads on the island and the dock. With this bunker, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not escape.
There is also a gun barrel extending out on the bunker. The cannon is very huge, but from a distance, the shape of the cannon shows that the cannon's craftsmanship is very poor.
There are three cannons on the bunker.
In addition to the cannons on the bunkers, there are also cannons placed on several high places on the island. The number of cannons on the island is only eight, and even ten are not collected.
Moreover, these cannons are land war artillery set up on land, rather than naval artillery installed on warships. I don’t know if they already have naval artillery in their world.
The cannons on the island are all external. Wang Chao is already on the island, but he is not afraid of these cannons.
Besides, with the accuracy of these cannons, it is difficult to be hit even if they stand within the range of the cannon.
There are also many pirates, including more than fifty ships of all sizes, but there are only a dozen sea ships that can be used for combat, and the rest are small boats.
Wang Chao's eyes swept over the harbor. An iron fence was established at the narrowest place on the harbor pier. When passing through, you need to pass through the iron fence. Once the iron fence is put down, the enemy can be blocked out of the harbor. The iron fence cannot be opened in a short period of time.
But on the other hand, once the iron fence is put down, the ships in the harbor will not be able to go out.
Thinking of this, Wang Chao had already had an idea and had to put down the iron fence first. In this way, the pirates on the island were in a jar, and they could deal with them as much as they wanted.
Hard bones will definitely run the fastest, and there will be no accident."
Saburo Oakmu shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that the third brother will go ashore and robbery again. No matter what you are on the sea, you can run away if you can't win, but when you get ashore, you'll be in trouble. If you want to run, you have no place to run."
They were all aware of the virtues of the third brother and were the most greedy. If they encountered a fishing village while patrolling, they might go ashore and robbed them. The third brother did this kind of thing not once or twice, and he encountered danger several times, but in the end he escaped.
Although they are pirates, they are not the only one. They have rivals and the government. No one can tell when something will happen.
They just said something about the third brother. After all, the third brother was patrolling outside. Even if he wanted to call the person back, he would have no choice at this time.
After talking about the third brother, several pirate leaders talked about their recent business deals. Recently, the business deals on the sea surface have become increasingly difficult to do. The number of pirates has come in and shouted loudly: "The leader is not good, the iron chain has been cut off by someone, and the gate has fallen."
The sink can fall or be small, which can stop foreign enemies and restrict them from going out. Especially now that the gate is artificially put down, the situation becomes even more serious.
The pirate leader immediately stood up and shouted fiercely: "What? Someone dares to come here to make trouble. Everyone goes out with me to see who is so bold."
While taking big steps, he kept issuing defense orders. As a pirate leader, he has extremely rich combat experience. Even in his rage, he did not forget the key points of the battle and issued various commands quickly.
The pirate leader's subordinates hurriedly left and sent orders to go.
When the pirate leader walked out of the room and looked at the gate, he immediately saw that the huge metal gate had fallen from a high place, isolating the inside and outside.
The gate is made of bronze and is very strong and thick. Once it falls, it will definitely be difficult to open in a short period of time.
Looking up the gate, you can see a figure climbing quickly along the cliffs on both sides of the gate. You can see that the cliffs are as if nothing is there and walking on the flat ground at a very fast speed. From this skill, you can see that this is definitely not an ordinary person.
The pirate leader's eyes fell on the figure's skills, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
He never thought that someone could move forward so quickly on the cliff.
Of course, climbing a cliff well does not mean that the combat effectiveness must be strong. However, based on the experience of the pirate leader, if you can have such a person who moves forward quickly on the cliff, your combat effectiveness will definitely not be bad.
In just a blink of an eye, the figure ran along the cliff to the island,
The more there are, the more fierce the competition is. Last month, there was a fight with another group of pirates. Although the warship was not damaged, dozens of people died. In the long run, there will definitely be insufficient manpower, so we must consider recruiting some more people from our hometown.
Just as several people were discussing the matter in the hall, a sudden scream came from outside, and a confidant subordinate ran in quickly.
He jumped back and jumped over a long cliff, which was more than twenty meters away, as if flying in the sky. This scene made the pirates present dumbfounded.
