Chapter 416: Prepare to Fight
After saying hello to everyone, Du Wanqing introduced several of the pirate leaders. These pirate leaders were his father's old brothers and confidants. They were the most loyal to the one-eyed tiger, so after the one-eyed tiger was killed, he chose to follow him with his hands.
However, such personnel do not occupy the entire Tiger Pirates.
Of course, this is also related to the sudden killing of the one-eyed tiger. First, the group of dragons have no heads, and many of the one-eyed tiger's confidant subordinates have also been killed in the previous mutation.
As soon as the leader died, the remaining pirates suddenly lost control and didn't know who to listen to.
This way, the manpower will be even scarce. In the end, there were only five pirate leaders who came out with them, and the troops they could bring out were only 1,200,300.
Although the troops are scarce, they are all elite pirates. If they can absorb this power, they can still greatly enhance their power for Wang Xiaoming's flying dragon pirates.
In addition to the pirate soldiers, there were obviously more pirate fishermen following him, with a size of about 20,000.
These fishermen have a close relationship with these pirate leaders, and can also be said to be the families of these pirates, so they must follow them.
Before Wang Xiaoming could speak, one of the pirate leaders glanced at Wang Xiaoming, clasped his fists and said: Boss Wang, I am a rough man and I don’t know those kind words. If I don’t say it well, please don’t be surprised.
Of course not, please tell me. Wang Xiaoming smiled and said: Of course not to be strangers, please tell me.
Then I said, I am very grateful to Boss Wang for helping him. I don’t thank him for his great kindness. If I take my place useful in the future, I will naturally repay my kindness. However, I have so many brothers and family members under my command. I don’t think about myself. I also have to think about them. So,
Speaking of this, the pirate leader also had a look of shame on his face.
If someone saves you, but you want to leave, you will naturally feel a little ashamed in your heart, but no matter how ashamed you are, you will have to leave because he doesn't like Wang Xiaoming.
Although Wang Xiaoming is very powerful on land, pirates rely on sea to make a living, and naval battles are completely different from land battles.
Naval battles depend on large ships, cannons and gunners. However, the Flying Dragon Pirates led by Wang Xiaoming did not have these.
He admired Wang Xiaoming's skills and was grateful for Wang Xiaoming's life-saving grace, but that's all. He wanted to consider his own way out and his brothers' wealth.
The Flying Dragon Pirates Group is too small and he doesn't want to go there. He still knows many big pirates among the pirates. He can go to join these old brothers and will still be very happy in the future.
Wang Xiaoming nodded silently after hearing this. This is the human heart, and it turns out that the human heart is the most complex and unpredictable.
Wang Xiaoming turned his head to look at the other people. Some of them had calm faces, while others lowered their heads and did not speak. Some showed an angry look on their faces.
The same rice raises hundreds of people, each of whom has his own ideas and his code of conduct is also different.
Wang Xiaoming also understood it, so he naturally would not force these people who were leaving.
Wang Xiaoming looked at the rest of the people and said: This brother is not a bad person, I am just staying here and leaving, but I am also speaking ugly in front of me. Of course, I can't control what I choose to leave, but I just choose to stay, and I will be my own people in the future. Then the rules I set will naturally be abide by.
Choose what you want to leave, and you can leave now.
Boss Wang, I really offended you, and there will be a period of time later. The other pirate leaders also expressed their intention to leave.
Three of the five pirate leaders left, only two chose to stay, and some other little pirate leaders followed, leaving half of them, and most of the ships parted ways here.
Du Wanqing was a little angry about this, but in Wang Xiaoming's opinion, the situation was pretty good.
What's the use of those who want to leave? It's better to let them leave just now, so that their power can be purer and easier to manage.
When these people left, Wang Xiaoming turned to look at the remaining pirates and said solemnly: Everyone, I won’t say much about the rest of nonsense. I will only say one thing. It is our honor and luck to be willing to join our Flying Dragon Pirates Group. After joining our Flying Dragon Pirates Group, I will treat you equally and will never treat you differently.
Okay, I feel relieved with Boss Wang’s words. Boss Wang, please rest assured. We are really willing to do it with you. My eyes are not blind yet, and I can see that Boss Wang is a person who can do big things, and following Boss Wang will definitely have a future.
Wang Xiaoming encouraged another sentence and asked everyone to go down and rest.
All of them were injured in the previous battles, so they naturally need to go on and rest now.
This time, Wang Xiaoming didn't expect that there would be such a big gain and so many things to encounter.
Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, overall, I finally survived and gained a lot.
First of all, there were gains from the personnel. In the end, there were more than 600 pirate soldiers and seven or eight thousand fishermen who followed him. In addition, there were also a lot of supplies.
Among the materials, there is a batch of materials that Wang Xiaoming values the most, that is, the raw materials that Du Wanqing had previously ordered to collect, including the raw materials for making gunpowder and the raw materials for making cannons and guns.
After these raw materials are brought back to Heilong Island, they will be made into finished products soon, thereby increasing the strength of the pirates under Wang Xiaoming.
When I returned to the flight, I was lucky. I stayed on the road with the wind and water for a night, and rushed back to Heilong Island early the next morning.
Shuangjiao Island is too small, so people can only be placed on Heilong Island.
After the fleet arrived at Heilong Island, it was busy for a long time before arranging the ship personnel.
However, this is just a settlement. It is not easy to take this power for yourself, nor can it be accomplished in a short period of time.
Wang Xiaoming didn't worry about the reorganization, so naturally his subordinates would do it. Wang Xiaoming had already compiled a manual, and all the rules and regulations were written into the manual. How to reorganize new soldiers has long been written into the manual, and only needs to be implemented according to the records in the manual.
Wang Xiaoming’s main job now is to build more powerful weapons.
Let’s talk about powerful weapons. Wang Xiaoming’s brain is full of manufacturing methods for various weapons. Unfortunately, electronic devices cannot be used in this world and many things cannot be made.
Not to mention electronic products, even engines and other things are difficult to manufacture now.
OK, this is too far away.
I'd better want to face the crisis in front of me.
Although he had agreed with the sick tiger Du Hai before that he would not come to cause trouble within three months, Wang Xiaoming absolutely believed that as long as the sick tiger Du Hai integrated his power, he would definitely launch an attack as soon as possible.
There will definitely not be too much time left for Wang Xiaoming.
It is unrealistic to build new sea ships under such circumstances. Only by building brand new weapons can the situation be changed.
After comprehensive consideration, Wang Xiaoming chose the latest weapon for the upcoming naval battle.
Rockets.
The principle of rockets is not complicated, and it can be said that the emergence of rockets is very long. A long time ago, an army made rockets into weapons to use.
But those rockets have no power at all. Rather than saying that their destructive power is more scary.
The rockets designed and manufactured by Wang Xiaoming are of course completely different.
There are currently only three models of rockets designed and manufactured by Wang Xiaoming.
One is a single-soldier rocket. A single-soldier rocket is easy to understand, and it is a weapon that can be used by individuals. It is also called a shoulder-carrying individual rocket.
The individual rocket has a relatively short range and is relatively weak in power, but its advantages are also very obvious, which is that it is very convenient to use. A single soldier can carry it and fight wherever he goes. Moreover, the whole terrain adapts to it, and the power is very huge among individual weapons.
The ultimate range of a single rocket is 300 meters. The warhead is equipped with a trigger device. When hitting the target, an explosion will occur. The explosion killing radius is ten meters, which will produce a fatal attack effect within a range of five meters.
That is to say, within a five-meter range, once it breaks out, it can basically kill the enemy.
Among individual weapons, rockets are definitely one of the most powerful weapons. The only reason that restricts this kind of weapon and equipment troops is that they use too many materials to make this kind of weapon and the consumption of shells is too large.
You should know that only a little bit of gunpowder is made by making a bullet, and the amount of gunpowder for making a rocket is enough to make hundreds of bullets. The gap is still very obvious.
The biggest consumption of gunpowder by rockets is the propulsion power part. Under the existing conditions, gunpowder can only be used to propel before finding better propulsion fuel.
The second model of rocket is a honeycomb medium rocket.
As the name suggests, the shape of this rocket is honeycomb. One rocket has thirty barrels and can continuously fire thirty rockets.
Moreover, because it is a medium-sized rocket, each rocket is twice as large as a single rocket, with a longer range, reaching 500 meters, and has a more powerful armor-piercing ability, which is enough to penetrate the deck of an ordinary sea ship. As for the power of the explosion, there is no need to say more.
Medium-sized rockets are large in size and relatively large in weight, with a total weight of around 1,000 kilograms. This weight is not so easy to move, so this weapon is best used for defense or installed on sea boats.
The power of medium-sized rockets is actually relatively small, but their firepower is relatively strong. It is a better weapon to deal with small boats and numerous scattered targets.
The last model of rocket is the large rocket.
The size of large rockets is naturally larger than that of medium rockets. This type of rocket is also specially used to deal with large sea ships.
The range of large rockets reached 1,500 meters, but at this distance, there was almost no impact, and it was difficult to hit the target if it was too far away.
It is best to use this weapon within one thousand meters. The distance is close enough and the possibility of hitting will be greater.
Large rockets are single-shot weapons, specifically targeting large ships. As long as one rocket is hit, it is enough to sink a large sea ship. You can imagine the power of this weapon.
In fact, many of the advantages of artillery are beyond rockets. For example, in production, cannon shells are easier to make, and the gunpowder is used is less, and rockets are more difficult to make, and more gunpowder is consumed during production.
However, one advantage of rockets is that they exceed shells.
It is that rockets are easier to master than artillery and are easier to hit targets.
The trajectory of the rocket is more agreeable to judge. Just aim at the target and fire the rocket, but the shells are different, especially on a very bumpy sea, it is even more difficult to hit the target accurately with artillery.
The pirates under Wang Xiaoming can only be considered newbies, and it is definitely not easy to let them use artillery to attack their opponents.
But it would be different if it was a rocket. Within a range of 500 meters, medium-sized rockets hit wherever they flicked their fingers, and each shot was accurate, which was definitely better than artillery.
But then again, rockets can only be weapons in the current transition period. It is more appropriate to use artillery for warships. Rockets can be used as auxiliary weapons.
Although rockets have many benefits, they also have many disadvantages, especially the difficulty of making is more difficult than ordinary weapons.
Before Wang Xiaoming planned to produce the number of rockets, the opponent had already arrived.
However, unlike the expected revenge of the sick tiger, this time it was not the sick tiger's men, but the rest of the pirates.
The news brought back by the ships patrolling the coastal coast was that a total of three pirates joined forces to attack. These three pirates were the evil ghost pirate, the blood sword pirate, and the yellow spring pirate.
These three pirates are as famous as their names, and are not good things. They have a bad reputation outside. Every time they encounter robbed ships, they will snatch all the goods and kill them all.
If these three pirates were allowed to kill Heilong Island, Heilong Island would definitely be slaughtered and turned into a deserted island.
Faced with the attack of the three pirates, Wang Xiaoming was not prepared enough, but immediately ordered to prepare for the battle.
The terrain of Heilong Island is wide and is not conducive to defense, so those sea boats cannot drive away, and all have to stay on the dock to prepare for the battle. If the sea boats drive away, the situation on Heilong Island at this time will really not stop the opponent's attack.
You know, this time the three pirates joined forces, but more than 200 large and small sea ships were dispatched, which was very important. If you accidentally get killed by the other party, you may be killed on the island.
The war alarm has sounded across the island. Wang Xiaoming had done drills before, so after the alarm sounded, all the personnel did the corresponding things according to their own identities in an orderly manner. Ordinary fishermen immediately took their families to hide, while the pirates were preparing for the battle. To be continued...
