Turbulent Times Chapter 1058: Water Ghost
Wang Junlin's face remained unchanged, staring at the three boats on Daguidao 50 meters away.
"My lord, do you want to distance yourself from the boat on Daguidao first?" Zhang Tiangang pulled out his long sword and said anxiously.
"No, let's have a look first." Wang Junlin shook his head and said.
Although the Wanshi ship is still a wooden ship, the thinnest part of the plank is five or six inches thick. The bottom of the ship is reinforced, and it is also densely covered with copper nails to prevent insects. The whole ship is divided into twenty watertight compartments, and a hole is cut. , it doesn't work at all.
Even if Wang Junlin didn't let the people below take care of it, and let the thieves who came to hide underwater, he might not be able to scuttle the ten thousand stone ship for half a day, because no matter who the 'water ghost' under the boat is, they will come. There must not be too many people.
"My lord, these assassins and water ghosts are proficient in water skills, and there are no islands nearby, so they can only dive into the sea from the three boats on the big turtle island opposite." Yang Kongchan reminded.
Wang Junlin still shook his head and said, "Perhaps the Gan family's control over Daguidao is not as strong as we imagined. You can see that the three ships on the opposite side stopped when they heard our movements."
"My lord means that someone on Big Turtle Island sent people into the sea to dig our boat without telling Gan Ziqi, because they don't want us to cooperate with Gan Ziqi." Yang Kongchan guessed.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be because of this factor. Maybe the Lord of Silla and Prime Minister Li Zhongyi have internal support on Dagu Island." Wang Junlin thought for a while and said.
Yang Kongchan nodded and said: "That's right, Gan Ziqi spent 12 years gathering more than 30,000 people and 6,000 sailors. How can the Lord of Silla and Li Zhongyi not make any moves during these 12 years? I don’t know how many people have been crammed into the Big Turtle Island, and it is very possible that some of them will become high-level officials on the Big Turtle Island.”
Wang Junlin sneered and said, "Perhaps there is another possibility. The officials of Silla Kingdom who followed Gan Ziqi to Big Turtle Island were tired of the life of pirates, and they were unwilling to stay on an island and continue to be pirates. It is also possible that the Lord of Silla and Prime Minister Lee Jong-il were killed.”
How could Wang Junlin's ship not have a guard ship? In addition to the four hundred sailors and one hundred master guards on the Wanshi ship, as well as the ten dead men, there were also two warships of two thousand stone accompanying them. Specialized guards.
At this time, a water ghost appeared under the big ship, and an assassin appeared. Two warships with two thousand stones approached first, hooked up with long poles, and stretched them down to attack the water ghost who was digging the boat under the sea surface. Blood was already oozing out. .
The head of a hundred people on the **** ship next to him shouted: "My lord, be careful, there are assassins climbing the ship!"
Wang Junlin didn't move at all, Yang Kongchan didn't feel nervous at all, not to mention the four hundred sailors, Zhang Tiangang led a hundred guards and ten dead soldiers to protect Wang Junlin, how many assassins could the other side send, a hundred people came out of the sea It's amazing, what else can you do besides dying, unless the people who come are all masters above the lag period, but how is it possible in this sea area.
Then the sound of fighting and screams came from the other side of the big ship.
Wang Junlin and Zhang Tiangang glanced at the two sides of the ship where they were. Zhang Tiangang gestured to the ten master guards on both sides.
The next moment, more than a dozen people rushed out from the hull on both sides of the ship where Wang Junlin was.
These people are all wearing tight diving leather jackets, holding water thorns in their hands, and they look very fierce, but they don't know that they have been discovered a long time ago. The sword in the guard's hand suddenly moved, and more than a dozen assassins screamed, and they had already turned into corpses by the time they landed on the board.
Then two more waves of people rushed up, all of which were easily killed by Zhang Tiangang's 100 expert guards.
Wang Junlin was worried about the loss of the officers and soldiers of the navy who were manipulating the ships and controlling long-range weapons on the big ship, so he said, "Zhang Tiangang, take fifty people to support other places."
Knowing that no one here could hurt Wang Junlin, Zhang Tiangang agreed and took fifty people to other places on the big ship.
Use the water ghosts that dig the ship underwater to divert the attention of most of the guards on the ship and create opportunities for assassination. Although it is not very clever, but there are some uses. It's a pity that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. These pirates don't even know how powerful the guards accompanying Wang Junlin are. Maybe they have never failed this trick before, so they are a little arrogant.
The battle ended quickly. There were a total of about one hundred assassins. They killed more than seventy people and captured more than twenty people. They were dragged in front of Wang Junlin, trembling all over, with a look of fear on their faces. They were obviously led by Zhang Tiangang. The person's strength was frightened, and at the same time, he was frozen in the sea, and his whole body was drenched in water.
"My lord, I will take these people to interrogate now, and I will soon know who sent them." Zhang Tiangang said coldly.
Wang Junlin didn't look at the captives, but took a look at the three ships of Daguidao that had already left with all their strength. He didn't have any accidents. It was difficult for Junlin to explain clearly. He must have been worried that Wang Junlin would retaliate without saying anything, so he had to evacuate first.
Wang Junlin didn't give the order to chase, but shook his head and said, "No, just send these captives to Gan Ziqi directly. Now you can immediately send a message to Liu Yidong and Luo Chunlai with sea eagles, and immediately lead the sailors under your command to come. Prepare to attack Big Turtle Island."
After Zhang Tiangang took the captives down and arranged for the white-bellied sea eagle to deliver the message, Yang Kongchan laughed and said, "I was still thinking about what excuse my lord would use to attack Big Turtle Island, so that I don't even need to think about excuses. "
Wang Junlin also smiled and said: "That's right, in this way, if I call the door, Gan Ziqi will have nothing to say."
…
…
When it was just dawn, Liu Yidong and Luo Chunlai each led two thousand sailors under their command to arrive. Wang Junlin didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered to go to Huobird Island, the westernmost affiliated island of Big Turtle Island.
The captives just happened to know the security arrangements of the seaport and seaside of Daguidao and the four affiliated islands. After some torture, they easily got everything from their mouths.
When dawn breaks, the sky is covered with fish-like light clouds, the morning light is dim, the earth is still shrouded in darkness, and the distant Firebird Island only reveals a blue-black line.
After Gan Ziqi returned to Big Turtle Island in a rage, he conducted a thorough investigation overnight who sent people to assassinate Wang Junlin privately, but nothing was found. He was worried that Wang Junlin would lead troops to attack and retaliate, and discussed for most of the night. It was decided to send his confidant Li Congrui to visit Wang Junlin with a lot of gifts the next day to explain. But he did not expect that Wang Junlin's revenge would come so quickly.
Firebird Island is not big, and there is a walled city on the island. There are more than 5,000 pirates and their families stationed in the city.
It was the pirates on duty at the city wall of Huobird Island who were the first to notice that Wang Junlin's side was packed with darkness and a large ship was approaching rapidly.
When dawn broke, the pirate on duty held his knife and leaned against the base of the city wall, sleeping soundly. Standing up and stretching his waist, he inadvertently saw many fast-moving shadows rushing towards them on the sea.
