Chapter 614: All kinds of pirates are fighting against the sky
The East China Sea, Dragon King Island, belongs to the territory of Sea Dragon King, one of the three major bandits in the southeast.
The islands are lined with houses, dotted with streets, and bustling with people everywhere.
The Sea Dragon King's bandit lair is located on the top of a hill in the center of the island. The village is surrounded by stone walls and watchtowers are everywhere. Patrolling pirates can be seen everywhere.
In the hall in the center of the village, Sea Dragon King Ding Chao sat at the head of the throne. More than a dozen heads of family were lined up in the spacious hall. The hall was bustling with people and was filled with the leaders of the Sea Dragon King.
"This new Han prince is just a fart, why should I surrender?"
"The boss, let's just wait and see if he dares to attack Dragon King Island."
"I was beaten to pieces by the British, but they are trying to show off their authority over us. These are useless things."
All kinds of noises filled the hall, and there were shouts and shouts everywhere.
Ding Chao glanced at the unruly men in the hall, and the noisy voices instantly became quieter. When Ding Chao glanced at the entire hall, the entire hall became quiet.
"Okay, let's all disperse. Surrendering in three days is ridiculous."
Ding Chao said, his tone full of disdain.
Everyone dispersed, but the few bosses who remained in the hall made Ding Chao's expression change.
"Why, my words don't work?"
Several small bosses immediately knelt on the ground, and Duan Xing, the leader, said loudly:
"Big boss, I have something to do. My father passed away at home, so I am urging my brother to go back to attend the funeral."
Ding Chao stood up, walked slowly to the kneeling Duan Xing, and said coldly:
"Why, knowing that the officials are coming to annihilate us, I was so scared that I shrank my eggs and was about to run for my life."
Duan Xing suddenly straightened up, his face full of anger:
"What did the big boss say? No matter how unfilial I am, Duan Xing, I can still use my father's death to fool the big boss."
"Duan Sanyang, come here."
Following Duan Xing's roar, a young man dressed as a farmer came in from outside the hall and knelt in front of Ding Chao.
Just as Duan Xing was about to speak, he was blocked by Ding Chao's words.
"Okay, let me ask, Sanyang, why did you come to see Brother Duan Xing?"
Duan Sanyang was obviously frightened by this battle and stammered:
"I, my uncle passed away, and the clan sent me to call the descendants of my family back to keep vigil."
Ding Chao rolled his eyes: "Why did your uncle die?"
Duan Sanyang stammered:
"The doctor said that my uncle died of a serious illness."
Ding Chao's eyes flashed coldly:
"Why, is your uncle very sick on weekdays?"
Duan Sanyang said a lot, no longer stuttering, nodded and said:
"Yes, my uncle usually never stops taking medicine. When my elder brother comes home, he always brings medicine with him."
Duan Xiu said from the side:
"I have a lot of brothers in my family. In the early years, we were short of food and clothing. In order to provide food for a few of my brothers, my father got the root of tuberculosis."
"I know that leaving the island at this time will definitely arouse the suspicion of the boss, but my father is ill and died, and I..."
When talking about what happened next, Duan Xiu was already in tears, and several younger members of the Duan family who were kneeling behind him were also in tears.
A smile flashed across Ding Chao's face, but it disappeared after a moment. With a sad look on his face, he comforted Duan Xing and said:
"Brothers, you should go back to attend the funeral. After the first seven days, you will see what happens. If nothing happens to our island, you will come back. If something happens and you are wiped out by the government, don't come back. Go far away and hide your name.
Bar."
When Duan Xing heard this, he felt that the master treated him like a brother. He wished he could stay now and repel the army before leaving. However, thinking about his father's face, sadness surged into his heart, and he lost all energy.
.
"Don't worry, Master. My brother has finished handling the funeral and will return before the army attacks the island."
The next day, Duan Xing returned to the village and saw Duan Xiu in military uniform.
"Second brother, second brother, it's unfilial to be an elder brother. Before my father died..."
As soon as Duan Xing, who was crying loudly, made a sound, he was dragged into the room by Duan Xiu.
Duan Xing immediately became angry when he saw the coffin without a lid.
"Damn it, where's the coffin lid?"
With that said, Duan Xing was about to move the coffin lid aside.
"Why, you just hope that your father will die soon."
Old Man Duan Ran's voice came from the coffin.
Duan Xing was stunned. The coffin lid hit his feet, and a louder scream came from the house.
In the yard, the faces of the pirates who came with Duan Xing showed that this was indeed the case. They turned to say a few words to some of the Duan family's young leaders, took a look at the coffins in the main hall, and turned around.
In the main hall, Duan Xing covered his feet and lay on the edge of the coffin, looking at his father lying in the coffin with worry on his face.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Lao Duan Ran was lying in the coffin, his tone full of determination.
"I'm waiting for you to give me the final say."
Duan Xing's expression changed:
"Dad, how can I gain a foothold among my brothers? I can't help but trust others. This time I have completely chilled the headmaster and my brothers."
"I'm leaving. There's going to be an attack on the island soon. I have to go back."
"Boom"
Old man Duan Ran directly hit his head on the coffin, his blood-stained forehead full of toughness.
"Let's go. When you walk out of this door, your father will crash on this coffin and die. I want you to come back and die for me."
Duan Xing sat on the ground immediately, his tone full of annoyance:
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Erxiu, this must be your fault. Let me tell you, I'm not done with you..."
At the same time, similar situations continued to appear in villages with pirate leaders.
Two days later, thousands of sails stood in front of Hailong Island.
Su Ping stood on the bridge of the battleship that had finished resting, looked at the pirate warships gathering in the distance, and gave instructions:
"Give the order, all ships prepare to charge."
The Han army's auxiliary ships began to move, surrounding the stern fighting ship in the center, and quickly formed a wild goose formation. The bows of the ships were raised high, pointing directly at the formation of the pirate fleet.
On Hailong Island, in the watchtower high up in the village, Ding Chao clasped his hands and looked into the distance. All kinds of warships were coming out, drums were beating, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The Han army's fighting ships are not easy to deal with."
The leader behind him immediately shouted:
"No matter how powerful it is, our grasshopper boat is not a vegetarian."
"The ants will kill the elephant, so just watch it, big boss. It's not like we haven't dealt with the fighting ships. It's a pity that Duan Xing is not here, otherwise..."
The watchtower was filled with the shouts of leaders, big and small, expressing their disdain for the Han navy and their extreme confidence in their own family.
Next to Ding Chao, the second leader Han Zhang's expression suddenly changed.
"There's something wrong with this ship formation."
"No, give the order, retreat quickly, don't collide with the Han army's battleship, that ship is not in the formation."
The next moment, the sound of killing was heard in the sky, and amid the loud beating of drums, the pirates' grasshopper boat rushed into the Han army's ship formation, like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves rushing into a pack of tigers.
The drums were beating loudly, and the two armies were fighting together, making it difficult to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.
