Facing the intensive artillery bombardment, the pirate warships could not withstand it at all, and most of them were destroyed in an instant. Faced with such terrifying firepower, the pirates could no longer hold on and immediately dispersed.
The moment the commander-in-chief saw the naval warships rushing out of the siege, his face turned pale. Seeing the pirates' defeat, he knew that no matter how many people he killed, he would not be able to regain morale at this time.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Zhu Zhanji's eyes turned red.
When he thought of the two warships that had been forced to cut off, his heart felt like it was being stirred by a knife. What came to his mind were the voices and smiles of everyone and his original promise to everyone. He promised that everyone would take him back, and now
He broke his promise.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" The deputy general suddenly ran to Zhu Zhanji.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Zhanji turned around and stared at him fiercely.
The lieutenant general was startled by His Highness's mad eyes and said quickly, "Your Highness, news just came from Wangdou that the seventh and ninth warships have not sunk yet."
"What did you say?" Zhu Zhanji immediately turned from anger to joy, grabbed the deputy general and said with surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true!" The deputy general nodded quickly.
Yu Qian next to him immediately thought, "Your Highness, since the ship hasn't sunk yet, maybe there are still people alive on it!"
"What?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned at first, and then immediately screamed, "Is there really anyone alive?"
After saying this, Qian Qian's reaction was not enough. Zhu Zhanji turned around and ordered, "Come here! Fire! Go in and save people!"
The reason why the naval warship was so passive just now was because it was caught off guard by a sneak attack by pirates. Now Zhu Zhanji has been prepared and is not afraid of being attacked by pirates at all.
The pirates had already completely collapsed, and the naval warships were overwhelmingly on the way, rushing to the vicinity of the seventh and ninth warships without even the slightest resistance.
"Hurry up, go rescue people!" Zhu Zhanji ordered quickly when he saw that there were indeed many people crowded on the sinking ship and many people struggling in the sea.
In the end, after all-out rescue efforts, a total of 200 people were rescued, and more than 60% of them were missing.
The warship retreated to the sea again.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the large island in front of him, and the hatred in his heart soared into the sky.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Yu Qian saw Zhu Zhanji gritting his teeth and looking in the direction of the island, walked to him and asked softly.
Zhu Zhanji frowned when he heard this. He had suffered such a big loss, lost two warships, and killed so many soldiers. Of course he wanted revenge.
But if he wants to take revenge, he has to re-enter the island. To be honest, after this experience, Zhu Zhanji is still a little worried about re-entering the island.
He is not familiar with this island. What if those pirates ambush him again? Although the pirates suffered heavy losses this time, who can guarantee how many pirates there are here? If he is attacked again, he is not sure that he can still escape.
come out.
Undecided, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to look up at Yu Qian and asked, "What do you think?"
Yu Qian took a deep breath and felt slightly relieved when he saw that Zhu Zhanji did not directly say that he wanted to seek revenge from the pirates.
He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, retreat!"
"Retreat?" Zhu Zhanji glanced at Yu Qian and remained silent. It was obvious that he had suffered such a big loss and he was unwilling to retreat just like that.
If he retreats now, it will mean that he has lost the battle. How will he explain to his grandfather when he returns?
Should we just tell Grandpa Huang that he came back after defeating the battle?
Yu Qian looked at Zhu Zhanji solemnly and reminded, "Your Highness, do you still remember the purpose of our trip to sea this time?"
Zhu Zhanji certainly remembered the purpose of going to sea. He glanced at Yu Qian and said calmly, "Find out the forces behind the pirates who are chasing you." Yu Qian's face relaxed, he waved his hand and pointed towards the island, and said loudly, "Your Highness has already done that.
Ah! This is the pirate's lair, and this is the answer His Highness wants."
Zhu Zhanji's expression relaxed and his eyes lowered.
Yu Qian struck while the iron was hot and whispered, "Your Highness, retreat!"
Zhu Zhanji raised his head and looked at the island and asked seriously, "What if there are forces behind these pirates? Shouldn't we leave without finding out?"
Yu Qian shook his head and smiled slightly, "Your Highness, there is nothing we can do against these pirates now. Even if there are people behind them, they are not something we can touch."
"On the contrary, we should go back now to report the news here. Otherwise, if we wait for the forces behind these pirates to come to their senses, we may not be able to leave even if we want to!"
Zhu Zhanji was startled and turned around to look at Yu Qian. In fact, both of them believed that these pirates were not the real masterminds, and there must be someone else behind the pirates.
If there was no power behind these pirates, such a small island would not be able to hide so many pirates.
For tens of thousands of pirates, just eating is a big problem. If there is no stable food supply, even if they catch all the fish on the island and eat them all, they will not be able to feed so many people.
Therefore, it is certain that these pirates will still have power after separation. It is precisely because Zhu Zhanji thought of this that he was unwilling to leave just now, because he also wanted to find out the power behind it.
But Yu Qian's words reminded him that the pirates alone were so powerful that they almost killed them all on the island. The forces behind this must be much stronger than the pirates. Even if they were found, it would be up to them whether they could leave alive.
An unknown quantity.
Zhu Zhanji took a deep look at Yu Qian, nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I listen to you, let's go back now!"
The eight warships did not even dare to dock. They simply made repairs at sea, and then sailed northward.
The commander-in-chief was defeated, but he did not give up. After learning that Xinming had rescued the people, he believed that the Xinming navy would definitely enter the island again to eliminate them.
For this reason, the commander-in-chief regrouped the pirates and warships to lay an ambush, preparing to attack the Xinming Navy once again. And this time, he would not let the Xinming Navy escape again.
Although he had always heard about the power of the Xinming warships before, he thought that no matter how powerful it was, how powerful could it be? Each of their pirate warships had four or five cannons. No matter how powerful the Xinming warships were, they were at most
Just twenty or thirty cannons.
But he never imagined that a Xinming warship would have hundreds of cannons.
Ten warships fired thousands of guns at once, and he was stunned by such ferocious firepower. Only then did the Xinming warship seize the opportunity to escape.
But he promised that as long as God gives him another chance, he will never let the Xinming warship escape again.
It's a pity that God will obviously not give him a second chance! Faced with the intensive artillery bombardment, the pirate warships could not withstand it at all, and most of them were destroyed in an instant. Faced with such terrifying firepower, the pirates could no longer persist.
If he couldn't hold on, he immediately dispersed.
The moment the commander-in-chief saw the naval warships rushing out of the siege, his face turned pale. Seeing the pirates' defeat, he knew that no matter how many people he killed, he would not be able to regain morale at this time.
