Turbulent Times Chapter 1059: Taking Firebird Island


(Thank you very much for the generosity of 'Haihu 888' and 'Book Friends 38965322' and monthly ticket support.)

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." Although he still couldn't see the flag hoisted on the attacking warship clearly, let alone who was coming, the pirate still decisively warned loudly.

It was daylight, many people were asleep, and the sea battle was worried about getting lost at night, unless the route was very familiar, otherwise there were very few surprise attacks at night, so many pirate islands did not set up guard posts at night, and Firebird Island also The sentry was set up, which shows that the Gan family of Big Turtle Island is better than other pirates in running the army.

Even though the sentinel gave a loud warning, when the pirates in the small city heard it, many of them panicked and didn't even have time to put on their armor, and there were not many people who could quickly climb up the wall of the city.

There are just three small islands distributed diagonally around Daguidao, among which Huobird Island is relatively farthest from Daguidao, about five miles away.

Gan Ruoxing, the leader of the Thousand Pirates of Firebird Island, boarded the city wall in a panic, and looked at the **** ship that was covered by clouds. Blow the horn and ask for help from Big Turtle Island.”

"Others follow me to defend the city, and the main island will come to help soon."

"You bastard, run faster and go up to the city wall."

"Send a message to the harbor, all the ships with a draft of more than a thousand stones are coming, and the water is deep, so they can't get close to the harbor. We have to put down the small boats and land, let them stick to it, and we will support."

However, before all the pirates on Firebird Island boarded the city wall, the four thousand sailors led by Wang Junlin had already rushed into the harbor of Firebird Island, and the hundred pirates stationed at the harbor were unable to fight back. In the process, Gan Ruoxing in the walled city didn't even have time to send people out of the city, or he didn't even dare to send people out of the city to support him, watching helplessly as a hundred pirates were killed crying. .

It stands to reason that, just as Gan Ruoxing said, Wang Junlin's large ship has a ridge on the bottom that can easily pass through breaking waves, and can also prevent transverse waves, which is convenient for safe and fast navigation at sea, and can withstand relatively large wind and waves, but it does have an extremely deep draft. The big Wanshi ship that Wang Junlin was on had a draft of more than two feet deep.

Under normal circumstances, such a deep-water galleon has extremely fast speed and high stability. The disadvantage is that non-ready deep-water seaports cannot berth.

But how can Wang Junlin's shipyard in the salt field not consider this issue? Qianshi warships are specially designed to be flat-bottomed, especially the large-winged ships. On the shoal; the bow and side front sides are also built with shield walls that can be opened and closed. In fact, they are specially used for landing operations, and can directly rush into shallow water to land on the beach.

Just now, more than a dozen thousand-stone ships rushed to the beach and landed directly. The soldiers rushed down from the large-winged ships, held their shields, waded through the shallow water, and charged towards the beach and the port. Kill them all.

There is no suspense in attacking the Walled City next.

The same as the attack on the prison city on Bailing Island and the walled city on Duobao Island, long-range crossbows and catapults smashed wildly, and the walls of the wall began to collapse, not to mention the screams on the top of the city With the sound of howling ghosts and wolves, the pirates collapsed on the spot. This kind of enemy can hit themselves, but they can't fight the opponent's offensive and defensive battles, which directly has a devastating blow to morale.

The thousand pirates stationed on Firebird Island are actually the elite of Big Turtle Island. They are all outlaws who are not afraid of death. A city wall was smashed down.

In addition, Gan Ruoxing saw that the warship supported by Big Turtle Island in the distance was 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.

So, in order to save his life, Gan Ruoxing had to order to open the city gate, give up resisting, and surrender to Wang Junlin.

Gan Ruoxing was brought in front of Wang Junlin, knelt on the ground, and asked in bad Chinese, gritted his teeth, "I, the Gan family, sent people to give gifts to Qin Angong twice to repair the relationship between the two families. What did the Gan family neglect to cause Duke An of Qin to send troops to attack Firebird Island today?"

Wang Junlin didn't talk nonsense, and directly brought up the twenty or so assassins who were 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." , don’t tell me that these people are not from your Big Turtle Island.”

Gan Ruoxing turned pale with astonishment. He really didn't know about the assassin. He only knew that the island owner went to meet with a mysterious person last night. , I asked Wang Junlin for a while, but he was speechless, because he knew some of the twenty or so captives, they were the pirates from Daguidao, but it seemed that they were all from the three chiefs.

"Qin Angong, this may be a misunderstanding. These people are indeed from Dagui Island, but they are definitely not sent by our island owner." Gan Ruoxing explained with a bitter face.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you!" Wang Junlin snorted coldly, and then said, "I can let you go to Big Turtle Island, tell Gan Ziqi, I'll give him a day to think about it, if you don't give me a Tell me, if I can annihilate 15,000 Goguryeo sailors, then I can annihilate his 5,000 pirates, and automatically take down this big turtle island, and then your Gan family will only have one result of extermination.”

Gan Ruoxing boarded Dagui Island in a sailboat, knelt down in front of Gan Ziqi, and said, "Grandfather, Zi Xing was incompetent and lost Firebird Island. He should have died on Firebird Island before his grandfather sent troops to support him." It's just that Wang Junlin asked Zixing to pass on a message to his grandfather, and the words he passed on were related to the life and death of Daguidao, so Zixing managed to survive here!"

Seeing that Gan Ruoxing lost Firebird Island in less than half an hour, Big Turtle Island heard the news, and the reinforcements had just set off when they were intercepted by the opponent's huge navy warships at sea, and dozens of ships were sunk on the spot , the remaining reinforcements were so frightened that they turned around and fled back to Big Turtle Island, and they never dared to send navy to support them easily. In this way, Wang Junlin easily took Huobird Island, Gan Ziqi's nose was crooked.

It's just that while he was horrified by the strength of Wang Junlin's navy, he felt infinite fear at the same time. He thought he had 6,000 sailors and four islands, and although Wang Junlin was in the Sui Dynasty, the distance was far away. In this sea area, there were only Dami Island and Baekling Island, and Dabao Island was added at most. The most important thing is that there are only four thousand sailors (Gan Ziqi didn't know that Wang Junlin had dispatched another two thousand sailors in the past few days).
