Faced with such a situation where they could not fight and escape, but could not escape, the pirates had already waved the white cloth and prepared to surrender.
"What are they doing?" Zhu Biao looked at everything in front of him with emotion.
In the past, he had only heard his father say how invincible Han Du was in the naval battle, but until he saw it today, he was truly shocked beyond measure. The naval battle commanded by Han Du is no longer a simple battle, but full of beauty.
The hand-to-hand encounter from the beginning left Han Du in a panic. After the distance was established, Handu dragged all the pirate ships in step by step at his own pace. The two sides fought to seize the T-shaped advantage, outflank, cut off the retreat, and block the pirate ships. Every step was carried out in an orderly manner, and all the pirates were able to follow Han Du's pace, not one step too many, not one step too little.
Just like a master's painting, there are no more strokes and no less strokes, full of the beauty of craftsmanship.
Han Du took a look and said, "They want to surrender."
"Surrender? Does that mean we won?" Zhu Biao suddenly became happy.
"Yes." Han Du nodded affirmatively with a smile.
Zhu Biao laughed loudly, slapped Han Du on the shoulder, and said happily: "Awesome, really awesome. It's not like I haven't seen water battles before, but after seeing your recent efforts, I was truly amazed. "
"Your Highness is very grateful. I just took advantage of the warships and artillery." Han Du bowed slightly and said modestly: "If Your Highness is willing to give other commanders a chance, I believe they can do the same." .”
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, not believing what Han Du said. Han Du only said this to give his subordinates a chance to command. "If other commanders could really achieve the level of Han Du, with Zhu Biao's understanding of Han Du, he would not be so lazy. If he had to go into battle himself, I am afraid that the navy would have been destroyed long ago. The command is given to someone else.”
Zhu Biao smiled at Han Du, indicating that he understood what Han Du meant. Then he raised his chin towards the pirate ships hanging white cloths and asked, "Now that those pirates have surrendered, what are you going to do?"
Han Du looked at where the pirates were, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Of course, no one will be left behind."
Seeing Zhu Biao's confusion, Han Du explained: "I have three reasons. First, these pirates are extremely vicious people. For them, surrender and rebellion are as simple as eating and drinking. We don't have enough manpower and energy. To guard them, and they are still alive and wasting our little food and fresh water, it is better to let them die in the sea, and that's it. Second, we have come a long way and have no place to stay. The Pirate Sea is a good place. It's suitable for us to hide our fleet, and it's a good place to rest and rest. Thirdly, although I fought this battle easily, it was all based on the use of a lot of gunpowder and cannonballs, and these things are all money. Such a big one I have to make up for my losses from somewhere, and I will not engage in loss-making business."
Although Zhu Biao felt that even though the other party had surrendered, it was a bit excessive for Han Du to kill them all. But after hearing Han Du's reasons, he slightly nodded in agreement. Anyway, these pirates are all evil-doers, and killing them can be regarded as justice for heaven.
When Han Du saw Zhu Biao nodding, he immediately ordered: "Pass this order to the general, please tell me
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Destroy them, leaving no one behind. "
"Follow the order!" Bai Yunhu disliked those pirates even more and passed on Han Du's order without hesitation. In his opinion, pirates should be just like Japanese pirates, they are things that should be cut into pieces.
With Han Du's order, the warships that had temporarily ceased fire once again showed their power. Amidst the rumbling sound of cannons, artillery shells once again rained down on the last remaining pirate ships.
The pirates had just seen the navy cease fire and thought they could escape. But he didn't expect that he would be hit again in just a moment. The desperate pirates immediately rushed left and right, desperately trying to break out. But no matter which direction the pirate ship broke through, it was eventually blasted into broken boards all over the sea on the way to escape.
As the last pirate ship sank into the sea, apart from the broken wooden boards, only the lucky pirates were left alive on the entire sea.
After seeing the brutality of the Ming Dynasty Navy, the pirates no longer dared to have any hope in the Navy. Even though he was floating on the sea, he swam desperately to get away from the navy warship.
But since Han Du had ordered that no one should be left alive, how could the naval officers let them go? The warship ran over the pirates at high speed. The pirates who could not escape were immediately hit by the warship and had their bones broken and their tendons broken. They were swept by the sea water and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The pirates who managed to escape looked extremely frightened. Before they could swim far, the warship collided with them again and continued to knock them into the seabed.
Eighty warships went back and forth like this several times, and only a few pirates on the sea were left struggling to survive.
The warships sailed past without colliding with each other. The navy soldiers directly raised the thunder cannons and killed all the pirates as if they were naming names.
It was not until it was confirmed that no pirates survived that the naval fleet regrouped and left here, heading towards the Sea of Pirates.
The pirates in the Sea of Pirates are out in force, but there are still some small pirates left here. They knew nothing about the naval battle and thought that this time they would easily defeat the invading navy like before.
These remaining pirates were completely unprepared for foreign ships. After all, with such a huge fleet, it is impossible for any foreign ships to break in.
So, when the Ming fleet arrived, these pirates had not yet recovered what was going on. However, with the remaining small sampans, even if these pirates were prepared, they would be nothing more than a mantis serving as a cart, and would not have the slightest effect.
Under Han Du's order, the Ming fleet directly gave up its strict formation and chose to split up. With most of the pirates wiped out, these pitiful pirates pose no threat to the warship at all.
At first, the pirates were ferocious and wanted to fight the naval warship. However, after they were destroyed by cannons before they even got close to the warship, they just fled for their lives.
Since the navy was not familiar with the waterways here and had to slow down, very few pirates managed to escape.
The navy didn't bother to care about the pirates who had escaped, and slowly and gradually cleaned up the sea of pirates.
...
Harder had watched this sea battle from beginning to end, and he no longer knew what expression to use to express his current mood. The strength of the pirates is not at all
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Weak, there are at least five or six hundred oars. To understand the concept of this number, you need to find a reference for comparison.
As far as Hader knew, a city-state kingdom like Horumos only owned twenty or thirty oars. Even an empire like the Ottomans only owned a few hundred galleys, which was about the same strength as the pirates.
But this is equivalent to the power of an imperial navy, but it is like child's play in front of the Ming Navy, and is easily crushed into pieces.
Although the warships of the Ming Navy suffered a lot of damage, none of them sank. In other words, the navy of the Ming Empire completely wiped out the naval power of an empire with a crushing attitude, while its own losses were minimal.
How terrible is this?
Such a fleet is invincible!
At least, Harder had not heard of it, and he could not imagine what kind of navy would be the opponent of the Ming Navy.
"Hard. Hard?" Han Du called Hard, but when he saw no response, he raised his voice and shouted again.
Hader suddenly realized that it was Han Du who was calling him. He quickly ran all the way to Han Du, bowed his head and said, "Hader is here. May I ask what the Marquis has ordered?"
Han Du gave Hard a strange look, a little surprised by his attitude.
how to say? The feeling that Hard gives Han Du now is that his attitude towards him is becoming more and more respectful.
Originally, Harder was respectful to himself, but he always had an arrogance in his heart that refused to admit defeat. It was as if although he knew how powerful Ming Dynasty was, he had heard it from other people's ears and had not seen it with his own eyes. He always faced the people of Ming Dynasty with a suspicious look.
But now, Han Du found that the doubt in Hard's eyes was gone, replaced by a gesture of surrender.
Han Du was very satisfied with the change in Hader's attitude. These people are like candles and cannot be lit unless they are lit.
"The obstacles to entering the sea of pirates are gone. Your task is to lead me to find the pirates' treasures. I promise you that all the goods that belong to you will be given to you, but you must also do things for me and bring all the pirates' treasures to you." Find all the treasures."
"Yes, your distinguished Lord Marquis, please rest assured that Hard will definitely find him." Hard's expression suddenly became excited.
The pirate's treasure is something that everyone talks about in Hurumos, and countless people talk about it every day. When he was poor, he once found a pirate's treasure and became rich instantly, marrying Bai Fumei, and sitting on the top of the manor.
It was only later that as Harder made money from business, such thoughts gradually faded away.
Now being brought up by Han Du again, although Hader knew that these treasures did not belong to him even if they were found, he could not help but feel excited.
What man can resist the excitement of treasure hunting?
After thinking for a while, Harder bowed again and said, "But Lord Marquis, if you want to find the treasure, I'm afraid you need to leave some pirates behind."
Han Du looked at Hard in confusion and asked, "I'm afraid an ordinary little pirate is of little use in finding treasures, right?"
This time the pirates are out in force. Those who really know the whereabouts of the treasure may have all perished in the sea. What's the use of just relying on some uninformed pirates?
