Zhang Lang would not be able to supply the imperial army regardless of the lives of the people in Liao, but Zhang Lang would not be able to do it no matter what. However, if he could not supply military supplies, the emperor would be furious, and Yuwen Shu would also take this opportunity to frame himself with all his might.

Even if Empress Xiao speaks for herself with all her might, it is absolutely impossible to save herself.

Zhang Lang frowned and murmured, "It's over now, I'm just going to turn it back!" As soon as he thought of it, he couldn't help but make up his mind. After this determination, Zhang Lang suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly became clear. The sky was high and the sea was wide, as if he could let himself go.

It's just like traveling!

At this time, the fleet had already arrived near a reef outside the sea of ​​Goryeo. The sea boats entering and leaving Goryeo, whether they were going northwest to Liaodi or southwest to the hinterland of the Great Sui Dynasty, had to pass through this reef. In ancient times, sailing was voyage.

In addition to relying on compass astrology, the most important thing is actually the visible markers on the sea surface, such as islands and reefs. The routes often extend along these markers. Therefore, don't look at the vastness of the sea and can reach it from any direction.

The destination, but in order not to lose direction in the vast sea, the route is actually very fixed. Whether it is going northwest or southwest from the Goryeo River, you must first reach this reef and then separate into different

Route to different places.

"There is a ship in front!" The sailor standing on the main mast Liao King's post suddenly pointed ahead and shouted loudly.

Zhang Lang looked up at the distance and saw two large merchant ships lined up on the sea in front of him. Li Ji next to him said in surprise: "This is not right! How can a merchant fleet sail like this!" Zhang Que

He frowned and said, "It's a pirate! It's clear that he's going to meet us like this to intercept us!" Li Ji was shocked and shouted, "Yes, is it Yan Honglu?!"

Zhang Lang smiled, "It's interesting! This woman is really vengeful!" Then he ordered: "Send the fleet to stop and prepare to fight." Li Ji immediately ordered the flagbearer to pass the order. The three ships gradually stopped. At the same time,

The personal soldiers and a group of sword hall masters rushed to the deck and on both sides of the ship, unsheathed the knife and rolled the arrows, ready to fight.

The two boats opposite were gradually approaching. Not long after, everyone saw huge shark patterns on the bows of the two boats. It was indeed a pirate ship.

The two pirate ships did not rush up and stopped at a distance of fifty or sixty steps ahead.

Seeing this, Li Ji said in confusion: "It's so weird! What do they want to do?"

Zhang Lang looked at the reef next to him and saw six identical large ships coming out of the reef area and split into two teams. One team came straight up from the flank, while the other team went around to the rear to cover the bottom, obviously trying to cut off.

Zhang Lang and his team's retreat. At the same time, a sea ship that was more than twice as large as other ships drove out of the reef area.

Seeing this, Li Ji and Zhang Que changed their colors together. Li Ji shouted in panic: "Yes, it's Yan Hongqi's flagship!"

Zhang Lang felt very curious and looked up at the big ship. Because the distance was very far, he could only vaguely see a woman wearing a cloak standing on the platform of the big ship. But the person who looked like couldn't see clearly

;There were more than a dozen people standing behind her, probably all of them her trusted subordinates.

The eight pirate ships quickly formed a three-sided surround Zhang Lang and the others, while Yan Hongqi's flagship stopped in the distance, looking like they were ready to watch the show.

A red flag suddenly rose on the flagship. Li Ji said anxiously: "That is the offensive flag!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw five or six small boats on each of the pirate ships on three sides, with about twenty people on each boat, and then paddled towards Zhang Lang and the others. The small boats placed by the pirate ship in front rushed straight to the head

The small boats placed on the flank pirate ships rushed straight to Zhang Lang in the middle, while the small boats placed on the back of the small boats placed on the last. The pirates wanted to take down three merchant ships at the same time as soon as they came up.

After a while, the six small boats that were put down from the flank pirate ship rushed to the front. Zhang Lang smiled coldly and waved his hand. The personal soldiers who had long been holding the crossbow and ready to go immediately pulled the trigger! Only a sound of whizzing

The sound of the sound was heard, and powerful arrows flew straight into the middle of the pirates rushing through the wind and waves like locusts! In an instant, the pirates on the boat were all caught in arrows and fell into the water, and the sea water was instantly dyed red by blood!

However, the pirates were very fierce. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they still rowed hard and rushed up! After the first row of personal soldiers finished shooting arrows, they immediately stepped back and installed arrows. The second row of personal soldiers immediately stepped forward and raised their crossbows to the pirates.

A wave of arrows was fired, and then the arrows were backed up, and the personal soldiers of the third row followed him and shot. In this way, the personal soldiers of the third row took the three-stage shooting method to shoot arrows at the pirate ships that rushed up.

The pirate actually raised his companion's corpse and blocked it in front. With the sound of puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff, the arrows almost shot on the pirate's corpse. The pirates paddled hard, and six small boats jumped in the ups and downs.

Get in quickly!

Yan Hongqi stared at the battle ahead, raised her lips slightly and said, "Interesting. The guards of this caravan are so well-trained! Even the elite Sui army I have ever seen have such qualities!"

A middle-aged man with a scar on his face snorted coldly and said unconsciously: "No matter what, in front of us, we will be slaughtered like a sheep that encounters a tiger or wolf!"

While speaking, six pirate boats had already collided with Zhang Lang's boat. The pirates quickly threw the lock hook and hooked it out of the side of the boat, then bit the steel knife and climbed quickly, with great strength! In the blink of an eye, a group of people

The fierce pirates jumped onto Zhang Lang's boat and swung their swords to attack their personal soldiers. Some of them drew their swords to fight, fighting with the pirates, while the other quickly retreated and reapplied the crossbow to install arrows.

The personal soldiers and pirates fought fiercely. The pirates originally thought that these guards would slaughter them like sheep when they fought in close combat, but in this battle it was found that the situation was not what they thought. These guards were actually very powerful.

They were extremely brave in attacking and killing with swords! After a while, they not only failed to kill a few guards, but instead more than a dozen or twenty people were chopped to the ground by the other party!

More and more pirates came. The guards seemed unable to resist and quickly retreated to both sides. Before the pirates could react, they suddenly saw more than a dozen guards holding powerful crossbows in front of them. The pirates subconsciously

Raise the knife and rush up! Only a loud whistle sound was heard, and more than a dozen powerful arrows flew out suddenly, killing the pirates! At this moment, the guards who had just retreated suddenly swung their swords and rushed forward.
Chapter completed!
