After merging with Shenlong Island, the current population of Goddess Kingdom has exceeded 100 million.
And Zheng Zhilong also officially became a general of the Goddess Kingdom.
At this time, he was leading the crazy shark pirates to wreak havoc along the coast of the Tang Empire.
Shark Pirates, this is a pirate army that is even stronger than Zheng Chenggong’s Shark Pirates.
This was originally Zheng Zhilong's personal army. After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, he expanded his recruitment of Mad Shark pirates under Cheng Mu's order.
Currently, the Crazy Shark Pirates are one of the two super pirate fleets in the Kingdom of Goddess!
Strength, proud of the world!
...
"That thief, why don't you just hang up your hands and wait for death?"
Outside the city port of Quanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong had just leveled the city of Quanzhou. However, he didn't expect that Su Dingfang was chasing after him.
Su Dingfang, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He was famous as a martyr and had the courtesy name Dingfang. He lived by his name throughout the world.
To put it simply, later generations call him - Su Lie!
Su Lie conquered the Western Turks throughout his life, leveled Congling, Barbarian Baekje, and conquered Goryeo. He "destroyed the three kingdoms one after another and captured their masters alive." Unprecedentedly, Su Lie expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty westward to the Aral Sea in Central Asia, and the country's border reached Persia.
It extends eastward to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
In other words, Su Lie had a large share of the credit for the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty!
In terms of performance and contribution to the Tang Dynasty, Su Lie is no weaker than Li Jing, Li Ji, Xue Rengui and other famous generals!
"hehe!"
Zheng Zhilong glanced at Su Lie from a distance, not wanting to fight.
Although the soldiers under his command are brave, now is not the time.
"hateful!"
Seeing Zheng Zhilong leading his army to retreat, Su Lie's expression suddenly became extremely impatient.
You know, he has been hunting down this pirate for nearly a month.
But every time he was thrown away and ridiculed. So this time, he would not let Zheng Zhilong escape again.
"Follow me!"
At this time, Su Lie had under his command a new type of warship newly equipped by the Tang Dynasty.
Back in the Qing Empire, in Guangzhou Bay, he saw with his own eyes the power of the Apocalypse Empire's battleships.
So, after more than a year, the entire Tang Empire gathered its strength to finally develop a new type of warship.
The new ship is called Shenjiao!
Traditional rulers of empires are not as casual as Cheng Mu. They avoid tabooing the emperor and dragons and phoenixes. This has been a tradition since ancient times.
So in order to avoid offending Long Wei, Su Lie named the new battleship Shenjiao!
He has a million-strong Tang navy under his command and drives 200 divine dragon warships. It is really majestic! Full of arrogance!
Not only that, behind Su Dingfang's army of millions of divine dragons, there was also a Tang navy.
Liu Rengui!
This is also a famous general. When he was guarding Baekje, he rescued Silla, defeated the Japanese in the Battle of Baekjiangkou, and the Baekje coalition became famous all over the world.
His subordinates are also an elite navy!
Coupled with Sun Renshi's army, Su Lie had a total of three million Tang navy men under his command.
Among them, the army of divine dragons led by Su Lie himself is the elite among the elite, and its strength should be at the ace level.
The strength of the Tang Dynasty Navy commanded by Liu Rengui has also entered the special level.
Although the army under Sun Renshi is the weakest among the three armies, it is still an elite navy after all.
Ever since, this was Su Lie's confidence.
With three million elites facing a ragtag group of pirates, wouldn't it be easy to capture them?
The reason why we didn't achieve any results at first was because we couldn't catch up.
But now, the Shenjiao is in hand...
As the war drums roared, two hundred Shenjiao battleships were already chasing after them.
"Oh? It's interesting."
Seeing Su Lie getting closer and closer, Zheng Zhilong showed a hint of surprise on his face.
He was worried that Su Lie would lose him again this time, so he deliberately slowed down. But unexpectedly, Su Lie actually got stronger this time.
"In that case, I, the general, will play with you!"
Immediately, he called the flag-bearer. Under the flag-bearer's message, the mad shark army sped up!
The Tang Divine Dragon Army, which was getting closer and closer, was once again left behind.
And the armies of Liu Rengui and Sun Renshi had completely fallen behind.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Seeing the crazy shark pirate getting further and further away from him, Su Lie's face became embarrassed again.
He originally thought that his divine dragon horn could wipe out the previous humiliation and enhance the national prestige of the Tang Empire.
But I don't think so, this is not the case.
"Speed up! Speed up this general!"
With an embarrassed look on his face, he immediately issued an order. Even if those paddlers broke their legs, they would still catch up with the crazy shark pirates!
"Slow down! Slow down!"
Seeing that Su Lie was almost losing track of him, Zheng Zhilong ordered to slow down again.
It was rare that all three navies of the Tang Dynasty were here today. He would not miss this opportunity!
"Bring my general's invincible cannon over here. I'm going to shoot him!"
When chasing after each other, the people in front will naturally have an advantage. Even if the range is insufficient, the people behind will get under the shells on their own!
Boom!
With one shot, Su Lie only saw a huge cannonball coming towards him.
It was so powerful that it looked like it would destroy the battleship under him with one blow.
"snort!"
Su Lie's face turned cold, and he raised his hand and struck with a knife.
Click!
In an instant, the originally powerful cannonball was split in half by his knife.
After all, he is also a strong person in the Shenmen realm. A mere cannonball is not a threat!
"Haha! Interesting! So interesting!"
Seeing Su Lie being so brave, Zheng Zhilong laughed. Then he became rude.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a goal in mind, he just had fun.
One after another, powerful cannonballs were thrown towards Su Lie.
Not only that, other ships of the Mad Shark Fleet also showed off their power.
Although it is impossible to fire broadsides, there is no problem in bringing a few cannons to fight at the stern.
As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, Su Lie's fleet of divine dragons was severely damaged.
There is even a ship that has been given special attention, and the cabin has serious leaks. It is about to sink!
"It really pisses me off!"
Su Lie was furious and furious.
Although he had ordered a counterattack, the catapults on his own ships could never catch up with the pace of the Mad Shark Fleet.
The power of catapults is sometimes not weaker than that of artillery, but the attack range is limited.
On a ship, you cannot build a catapult that is too large!
"General, how about... why not start from scratch?"
Seeing that he could only watch helplessly being beaten, the subordinates around him were not happy.
I chased but couldn't catch up, hit but couldn't hit. It was so frustrating to be beaten passively all the time!
"Think it over from the beginning?"
Su Lie said angrily: "Are we going to let them escape again like this?"
While roaring, he grabbed his subordinate by the collar and asked: "Suzhou, Hangzhou, Taizhou."
“Now add Quanzhou!”
"If Your Majesty asks, how many heads have you chopped off?"
In just over a month, Zheng Zhilong plundered Suzhou City, Hangzhou City, and Taizhou City in the Tang Dynasty.
Including today's Quanzhou City, four cities in the Tang Dynasty have been destroyed!
With such huge bad news, Li Shimin will definitely be furious. When the time comes, Su Lie doesn't want to have his head chopped off anyway.
"Subordinate...subordinate..."
Facing Su Lie's questioning, his subordinates immediately became frightened.
After Su Lie dropped him, he immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud and said tremblingly, "This subordinate deserves to die! He deserves to die!"
Although they say so, who really wants to die?
But at this moment, the messenger came with good news.
"General Qi, those pirates have entered Guangzhou Bay!"
"Oh? Guangzhou Bay?"
When such good news came, Su Lie swept away the gloom on his face. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It seems that these thieves are panicking and have no choice but to choose their own way!"
"Entering Guangzhou Bay? That's asking for death!"
