"Enemy attack, enemy attack." Although he could not clearly see the flag hanging on the incoming warship, let alone who was coming, the pirate still decisively shouted a warning.
It's dawn, and many people are asleep. In naval battles, because they are worried about getting lost at night, unless they are very familiar with the route, few people come to sneak attack at night. Therefore, many pirate islands do not set up sentries at night, and there are also sentries on Firebird Island.
, which shows that the Gan family of Dagui Island is better at running the army than other pirates.
Even though the sentry shouted a warning, when the pirates in the small walled city heard it, many of them were so panicked that they didn't even have time to put on their clothes and armor, and not many of them were able to quickly climb onto the wall of the walled city.
There are exactly three small islands distributed diagonally around Big Turtle Island. Among them, Firebird Island is the farthest from Big Turtle Island, about five miles away.
Gan Ruoxing, the leader of a thousand pirates on Firebird Island, climbed onto the city wall in panic, looked at the black ship that was covered by clouds, his heart sank, and he felt faint, and shouted: "Come here, blow the horn quickly,
Ask for help from Big Turtle Island."
"The others will follow me to defend the city, and reinforcements will come from the main island soon."
"You bastard, run faster and get on the city wall."
"Send a message to the harbor. The ships arriving are all large ships with a weight of over a thousand rocks. The water is deep and they cannot approach the harbor. We have to lower the small boats and land and let them hold on tightly. We will support them."
…
…
However, before all the pirates on Firebird Island had boarded the city wall, the four thousand navy commanded by Wang Junlin had already rushed into the harbor of Firebird Island. One hundred pirates stationed at the harbor were killed without the slightest chance of fighting back.
, the seaport was lost. In the process, Gan Ruoxing in the city did not even have time to send people, or in other words, he did not dare to send people out of the city for support, and watched a hundred pirates being killed crying and screaming.
It stands to reason, as Gan Ruoxing said, that the ridge on the bottom of Wang Junlin's large ship is easy to pass through breaking waves, and can prevent transverse waves, making it convenient for safe and fast navigation at sea, and can withstand larger winds and waves, but it is indeed extremely deep. The ship Wang Junlin is riding on
The large ship with ten thousand stones has a draft of more than two feet.
Under normal circumstances, such a deep-water sailing ship has extremely fast speed and high stability. It can also sail through the waves in strong winds. When the wind is downwind, the speed can even reach the legendary level of a hundred miles per watch, or even a thousand miles day and night. However, there is also a drawback.
The existing deep-water harbor cannot be docked.
But how could Wang Junlin's shipyard in the salt field not consider this issue? Qianshi warships are specially designed with flat bottoms, especially large-winged ships, with wide decks and low flat bottoms, which can directly and steadily stand on the shoals.
There are also shield walls that can be opened and closed on the bow and front sides of the ship. They are actually specially used for landing operations and can directly rush into shallow water to seize the beach for landing.
Just now, more than a dozen thousand-stone ships rushed to land on the beach. The soldiers rushed down from the large-winged ships, held up their shields, waded through the shallow water, and charged towards the beach and the port. The hundreds of pirates at the port were stunned and killed them in front of them, easily killing them all.
Kill them all.
There is no suspense in attacking the walled city next.
The tactics used to attack the prison city on Bailing Island and the walled city on Duobao Island were the same. Long-range crossbows and catapults were bombarded and smashed, and the walls of the walled city began to collapse. There were screams from the top of the city.
, the pirates collapsed on the spot. This kind of offensive and defensive battle where the enemy could hit them but they could not hit their opponents directly had a devastating blow to morale.
The thousand pirates stationed on Firebird Island are actually the elite of Big Turtle Island. They are all desperadoes who are not afraid of death. However, the weapons, equipment and tactical concepts of the two sides are too different. In just half an hour, a city wall appeared.
Was smashed.
In addition, Gan Ruoxing looked at the warships supported by Big Turtle Island in the distance. They were easily intercepted by Wang Junlin's warship at sea, destroying most of them, and the rest fled back to Big Turtle Island. How could there be support for a while?
Therefore, in order to save his life, Gan Ruoxing had to order the city gate to be opened, give up resistance, and surrender to Wang Junlin.
Gan Ruoxing was brought to Wang Junlin. He knelt down on the ground and asked in broken Chinese through gritted teeth: "I, the Gan family, twice sent people to give heavy gifts to Qin An Gong to repair the good relationship between the two families. But I don't know that our Gan family is here."
Why did you neglect something that caused Duke An of Qin to send troops to attack Firebird Island today?"
Wang Junlin didn't waste any time, and directly brought up the more than 20 assassins captured last night, and said coldly: "Don't tell me, you don't know that I was assassinated when I met with you Gan Ziqi last night, and you also
Don’t tell me these people are not from your Big Turtle Island.”
Gan Ruo
When asked by Wang Junlin, he was speechless, because he knew some of these twenty-odd prisoners, who were pirates from their Big Turtle Island, but they all seemed to be members of the three leaders.
"Qin An Gong, this may be a misunderstanding. It is true that these people are from our Big Turtle Island, but they are definitely not sent by our island owner." Gan Ruoxing explained with a bitter look on his face.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you!" Wang Junlin snorted coldly, and then said, "I can let you go to Dagui Island and tell Gan Ziqi that I will give him one day to think about it. If he doesn't give me an explanation, I will
If you can annihilate 15,000 Goguryeo navy, you can annihilate 5,000 of its pirates, and take over this big turtle island by yourself, then your Gan family will only have the result of annihilation."
…
Gan Ruoxing boarded a sailboat and landed on the Big Turtle Island. He knelt down in front of Gan Ziqi and said, "Grandpa, Zixing was incompetent and lost Firebird Island. He failed to wait until his grandfather sent troops to support him. He should have died on Firebird Island, but that
Wang Junlin asked Zi Xing to pass a message to his grandfather, and the words he conveyed were related to the life and death of Dagui Island, so Zi Xing lived here in secret!"
Seeing that Gan Ruoxing lost Firebird Island in less than half an hour, Dagui Island heard the news and the reinforcements had just set off, but they were intercepted by the opponent's huge navy warships at sea, and dozens of them were sunk on the spot. They were shocked.
The remaining reinforcements turned around and fled back to the Big Turtle Island. They no longer dared to easily send the navy to support them. Just letting Wang Junlin take over the Firebird Island so easily made Gan Ziqi's nose crooked with anger.
It was just that while he was horrified by the power of Wang Junlin's navy, he also had infinite fear. He originally thought that he had six thousand navy and four islands, but although Wang Junlin's northern back was the Sui Dynasty, it was far away.
There are only Da Mi Island and Bai Ling Island in this sea area, plus Duobao Island at most. The most important thing is that the navy only has 4,000 people. (Gan Ziqi did not know that Wang Junlin had dispatched another 2,000 people in the past few days.
