The large ships of the Han Navy gradually gathered in, and the sharp and domineering ballistae slowly moved and aimed at the dumbfounded pirates. As for the black thing that could breathe fire in the eyes of the pirates, it became quiet, and two cannons sank a pirate ship.
, one of the shots missed, so the deterrent effect is enough.
Liu Ling did not come to destroy the pirates on Lantau Island, but to find a guide.
Therefore, the navy just surrounded the pirate ships and did not attack again. The pirates already understood that it would not be troublesome if the official fleet planned to kill them all. This group of pirates has been as big and small as the Tang navy in recent years.
After many encounters, although the combat effectiveness of the Tang navy was stronger than theirs, the Tang navy had never taken advantage of them on the sea. The pirates had always used wolf tactics. If the battle went smoothly, they would swarm in and fight.
If they don't fight well, they will immediately turn around and run away. The Tang navy will not be able to catch up with them anyway.
Although the pirate ships were not big, the pirate ships they modified were flexible and fast. The navy of the Tang Army would not go all out to destroy a small group of pirates like them, so this group of pirates lived a quite life.
For freedom. Although Lantau Island is not far from the land, there are wars everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, so no one cares about them. Even if they care, the Tang army cannot spare their hands.
And although this group of pirates was fierce, they did not harm the people of Quanzhou. They only robbed passing merchant ships, and also went to Liuqiu Island to rob.
Sun Jinsheng has lived in seclusion for fifteen years. He does not know that his brother Sun Jinman has become addicted to robbing Liuqiu over the years. Seven or eight out of ten women on Lantau Island are robbing Liuqiu.
The women who came. Over the years, each of the pirates snatched their wives and gave birth to children. Lantau Island has become a small kingdom.
It's just that this kingdom is too small, with a total population of only more than a thousand people. Sun Jinman is the master of this small kingdom. And what is a bit ironic is that Sun Jinman really named this Lantau Island Lantau Island.
, he proclaimed himself the King of Yum Victory, and he also had all the officials including prime ministers and generals below him. Although some Yelangs were arrogant, the pirates on Lantau Island did live a relatively prosperous life. In addition to the food and clothing they robbed,
In addition, women also reclaimed a small amount of land on the island to grow wheat.
There are about 400 pirates on Lantau Island. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, the number of real combatants is about 350. Every time they go to sea to rob, this group of pirates will come out in full force. Sometimes
They would be away for ten or eight days. If they couldn't grab a merchant ship, they would without exception go to Liuqiu to seek fortune. Although the life of the residents on Liuqiu Island was also very difficult, they could still grab some food, homespun cloth and so on.
Yes, anyway, the pirates on Lantau Island will not leave in vain.
After several years of unrestrained relaxation, the pirates on Lantau Island finally tasted the bitter consequences.
Facing the powerful navy of the Han army, the pirates on Lantau Island had no way to resist. They were frightened by the ballistae and the two roars, and they could not muster the courage to resist. Especially when they saw those big ships lined up.
For the first time, the pirates felt a real and deep fear among the soldiers wearing bright armor and high morale. No one of those naval soldiers made a sound, they just stood so quietly, but they exuded an intimidating feeling.
The palpitating Senhan murderous aura.
The pirates have done a lot of murder and arson. They know that if they have not experienced real life-and-death killings and experienced in blood and fire, they will never have such an almost substantive murderous intention. Those navy's
The soldiers looked at them with cold eyes, without any emotion. The pirates had been surrounded, but none of the navy soldiers looked very proud.
Because in their eyes, against such a group of pirates, even if they achieve a complete victory, there is nothing to be proud of. The navy that has been built with all the strength will not be complacent because of such a small and insignificant victory. From then on,
When the navy was first established, the goal set by the King of Han was to conquer all the way to the end of the sea.
Zhaoxian stood on the bow of Dahai Loach, lowered his head and looked at the pirates who had been ordered to find weapons and asked: "Is there a person named Sun Jinman among you?"
Hearing this sentence, the pirates immediately started a commotion. However, the commotion soon calmed down. The pirates became silent but no one came forward. Some even secretly picked up the knives that were thrown on the deck.
, obviously ready to fight to the death.
Two supervisory guards carried a large chair and placed it on the bow of the ship. Liu Ling, who was dressed in black dragon-embroidered uniform, slowly sat down on the chair. He looked at the silent pirates with interest, thinking in his mind
It seems that Sun Jinman has a high prestige among the pirates on Lantau Island. He doesn't know yet that Sun Jinman is a local emperor on Lantau Island. And although Sun Jinman is unreasonable, he is very loyal to his pirates.
. He was very fair in his dealings and would not be biased when distributing the spoils. Therefore, the pirates respected this Yum King very much and no one would stand up and betray Sun Jinman.
Seeing that no one answered his words, Zhao Xian raised his eyebrows and said: "Sun Jinman! If you don't stand up on your own, then I will order the killing. I will count and kill one person until I kill all of you!"
"
The pirates looked at each other, and suddenly someone stood up and said: "I am Sun Jinman!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone else came forward one after another.
"I am Sun Jinman!"
"I am Sun Jinman!"
"I am Sun Jinman!"
As more and more people came forward, in the end all the pirates shouted loudly that they were Sun Jinman. Unexpectedly, these pirates were so loyal. Zhaoxian couldn't think of any solution for a moment. Liu Ling leaned against
On the chair, he supported his chin on his wrist and looked at the pirates with a smile.
“What an interesting group of people.”
Liu Ling said with a smile.
The pirates shouted louder and louder, and in the end someone actually took off his upper body clothes, exposed his chest and patted his body with his hands: "I am Sun Jinman! What do you want!"
Others were whistling and shouting at the top of their lungs: "Are you here to deliver a warship to me? I, Sun Jinman, would like to thank you all. Haha!"
It's really surprising that under such circumstances, the pirates' madness was actually forced out. They yelled and cursed, as if they didn't care about death at all. They spit, cursed, stamped their feet and shouted, they pulled
They yelled and cursed, and some even took off their pants to expose indecent objects and urinate in the direction of the navy ship.
Zhaoxian's expression changed slightly, and then he slowly raised his hand.
The heavy crossbow installed on one side of the ship began to pull slowly. Although the dull sound of the machine was not very loud, it was clearly audible in the shouts and curses of the pirates. Following the sound of the machine, the pirates' screams and curses suddenly
It stopped. The giant crossbow, which was nearly three meters long and as thick as a calf, was like an angry dragon that was about to take flight. It would roar out just after Zhaoxian gave the order. The soldiers of the Han Navy were also struck by the pirate's arrogance.
Aroused with murderous intent, the archers followed Zhaoxian's gesture and already drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the hundreds of pirates not far away.
There is no doubt that as long as Zhaoxian lowers his hand, dozens of giant crossbows and hundreds of archers can kill these pirates in an instant without leaving any trace behind.
Although the pirates are arrogant and unruly, they will still be afraid when it comes to life and death. Looking at the giant crossbows that are ready to go, and looking at the archers who move neatly with murderous faces, the fear in their hearts gradually turns their madness.
He pressed it down. Involuntarily, they all fixed their sights on Zhaoxian's raised right hand.
"Wait a moment!"
A pirate separated everyone and walked to the bow of the ship, shouting to Zhaoxian: "Don't do anything, I am Sun Jinman! If you have any problem, you can come to me, and don't make it difficult for my brothers."
After seeing this person, the corners of Liu Ling's mouth curled up even more. He turned his head and asked Sun Jinping, who was standing next to him, "Is this your brother?"
Sun Jinsheng looked at the figure on the pirate ship and nodded: "Go back to your lord, that person is my brother Sun Jinman."
Liu Ling looked at Sun Jinsheng, who was 1.75 meters tall, and had a strong aura that could be displayed inadvertently. Then he looked at the man standing on the bow of the boat who shouted that he was Sun Jinman, and suddenly laughed.
stand up.
Sun Jinman is less than 1.6 meters tall. As for his weight, a rough estimate should not exceed 80 kilograms. This man is as thin as a monkey, with a dark face, triangular eyes, and a slight hunchback. His upper body is exposed.
The shriveled belly and the ugly scars on the body that were as winding as earthworms were shocking. The hair was not only sparse but also curly, and it looked more like it should be growing down there.
Without Sun Jinscale's confirmation, Liu Ling really wouldn't have known that this man would be a tough man who could lead hundreds of pirates.
Zhaoxian said: "I am Zhaoxian, the admiral of the Han Dynasty Navy, and I am here on the order of the King of Han. Sun Jinman, come aboard my ship!"
"Han Dynasty Navy? Han...King of Han?!"
Sun Jinman was frightened by Zhaoxian's words and shrank his neck. He really couldn't believe it.
"The King of Han...he...what does he want from me?"
Sun Jinman asked subconsciously.
Zhaoxian frowned and said: "Why are there so many nonsense? Either I will send someone to capture you, or I will row my own boat! If you delay any longer, I will blow your boat to pieces first!"
Sun Jinman whispered: "He is good at scaring people and showing off!"
But he didn't dare to let go of his voice. After thinking about it, he turned around and gave an order, and then the five-meter-long pirate ship began to move slowly towards the sea loach. When it reached the edge of the sea loach, the man on the ship
Jun put down the rope, and Sun Jinman grabbed the rope and turned around and ordered: "If I am killed, run away if you can! Don't forget to take my ladies and brats with you!"
The pirates under him said one after another: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, your wife and children are our wives and children!"
Sun Jinman: "..."
Not bothering to pay attention to the rough men under his command, he climbed onto the ship in a few clicks along the rope. His movements were extremely flexible, just like a monkey. Sun Jinscale was already over fifty years old, and Sun Jinman was his elder brother. It depends on his skills.
He is so flexible and does not look like an old man who is nearly sixty years old.
After boarding the ship, the supervisory guards came up and pulled out all the daggers, poisons, ropes and other things hidden on his body. He was naked from the waist up. I really don’t know how he could stuff it into his pants.
Sun Jinman never thought that he could hide so many things so well, but those guys in black could see them out at a glance.
Being led to Liu Ling by the people from the Procuratorate, Sun Jinman raised his head and glanced at Liu Ling who was sitting on the large chair and then quickly lowered his head. He guessed at the first moment that the man on the seat in front of him was the famous King of Han!
His eyes just glanced over, but he did not see Sun Jinsheng, who was standing next to Liu Ling with a complicated expression on his face. The two brothers had not seen each other for fifteen years. Even if Sun Jinman cared, he could not recognize this full-faced man for a while.
The man with white hair turned out to be his younger brother, and even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that his younger brother would be with His Highness the King of Han.
"Why don't you kneel before the King of Han?"
Two guards from the procuratorate came up, pressed Sun Jinman's shoulders and kicked him twice on the back of his knees. Sun Jinman's muscles were tensed due to nervousness, and his body shook a few times, but he did not fall to his knees.
Liu Ling waved his hand to signal the supervisor to step back. He looked at Sun Jinman's dark face and asked, "Master Sun, raise your head and speak."
Sun Jinman was kicked twice by the surveillance guard. Although he did not kneel down, his legs were really painful after being kicked twice. When he heard Liu Ling speak, he subconsciously raised his head and said smoothly: "Fuck! Today!
