But as the fleet continued to appear, the smile on his face froze! Because he saw that instead of the expected three families coming out from behind the reef, he saw five families! When he counted the other party's ships, his heart dropped even more! The other party has about 130 large and small ships, which is three times as many as all his ships!
Liu Guangting put down the telescope and murmured: "This is really bad!"
At this moment, a sailor behind him said loudly: "Master, what should we do if Master Ming asks us?"
Liu Guangting smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? Signal, all ships turn around and retreat!"
The order was passed on, and the fleet did not return in a circle, but turned on the spot using a single ship, which was more time-saving but required high maneuverability. The good thing about this method is that the entire fleet can move from the rear to the front and directly complete a 180-degree turn. The disadvantage is that if the operation is not good, it will cause a series of collisions!
Liu Guangting watched his fleet complete the turn with difficulty without any collision, and then he exhaled! Then he looked at the fleet chasing behind him, with another wry smile on his face! Failed this time! And if you want to get rid of the other party, you have to rely on the night! But it was probably the end of Tatsuki (nine o'clock in the morning), and it would take a long time until nightfall.
At this time, Li Dazui was standing happily on the bow of the ship, staring greedily at the fleet ahead! It would be great if all these ships were his, then he would probably become the overlord of one party, and if he united with some people, he would become the lord of the sea! So he will never let them run away!
Li Dazui is not an easy person. Anyone who can survive the fighting until now must have a heart with seven orifices! So when he received the news of Liu Guangting's attack, he not only called two alliance brothers, but also promised a lot of money to invite two more comrades.
So Li Dazui is very happy now, and he has regarded Liu Guangting's family wealth as his own! He absolutely did not believe that the combined efforts of the five families could not defeat Liu Guangting alone!
Just as Liu Guangting guessed, Li Dazui had been waiting here to ambush him! Moreover, after Li Dazui hid himself, he also placed lookout hands on the highest reef. So when he received a report that a fleet was approaching and reported the approximate number of ships, Li Dazui laughed wildly!
He sent away the pirates who reported the message, and said to the four people around him: "Four brothers, the Yankees have already brought their men, and the number is less than 30% of ours. This time we will definitely defeat him! After defeating him, we will go straight to Ryukyu and seize his inheritance! There is no way our brothers will one day become kings and hegemons in Ryukyu!"
The strong man on his left was Lang Lifei. He nodded and said, "Yes, everyone knows that Da Ryukyu is a treasure land, but we don't have the capital to develop it ourselves! Now, where can the Yankees be willing to invest the capital to establish a business? It’s actually cheaper for us brothers!”
A good base is infinitely tempting to pirates! Because pirates are people too, they also want to live a life where there is no shortage of food, water, and medicine! And more importantly, having a foundation means stable taxation, soldiers, and a series of very beneficial benefits!
But Ryukyu has been there for so many years, why has no one gone there to open up wasteland? It’s because it takes too much money to establish an inheritance from scratch! And anyone who has money is willing to become a pirate. Even if you earn enough money as a pirate, you should settle down in the prosperous Ming Dynasty and enjoy life!
The above problems have led to the fact that Ryukyu has been there for hundreds of years and has never been developed. So when the pirates knew that Liu Guangting was pioneering wasteland there, they were all envious! At the same time, he also speculated whether there was a big benefactor behind him!
So when Li Dazui learned that his side's strength was three times that of the other side, he immediately came up with the idea of seizing the gathering place of Da Liuqiu! Anyway, there are no secrets among pirates, and they can find out where Liu Guangting's lair is! And after killing Liu Guangting, you might be able to establish a relationship with the financial backer behind him and become a true maritime overlord!
At this time, a guy with a rat beard next to Lang Lifei spoke! He is one of the foreign aids invited by Li Dazui. His name is Wang Yong, and he has a nickname called Puffer Fish! Looking at the weak figure and the nickname of the poisonous puffer fish, you can tell that this person is always thinking!
Just listen to him say: "Boss Li, if you go
To seize the Yankees' inheritance, the promised reward is not enough! You know, every home in your family is guarded tightly! I'm afraid a lot of people will die if we take it! ".
Li Dazui said with a smile: "Isn't this because there are few Yankees? This is just a last-minute idea! Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
The puffer fish curled his lips and said, "This is different from what I said before, don't do it!"
When Li Dazui heard this, he had a guess in his mind. He felt that the pufferfish was going to open its mouth like a lion! But he still said slowly: "Then what do you want?"
The pufferfish said loudly: "We need more money!"
Li Dazui felt relieved when he heard this and said: "Tell me the number, how much more? I will give it to you afterwards!"
The puffer fish said with a smile: "Are our brothers such mean people? Let me tell you clearly, we don't want the reward this time, but we will be a share in the capture of Ryukyu!"
At this time, a person next to him said: "Brother Wang is right, as long as Boss Li agrees to this request, our family will definitely help!"
The speaker has a fair face and no beard, and looks extremely rich! This person also has a nickname called Eunuch, because his lower body was broken when he was fighting with others many years ago! Although the man survived, he really became a eunuch! So after that, this person's personality changed drastically. He became cruel and vicious, and dared to risk his life. Instead, he developed his strength!
Li Dazui was furious when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. He just gave Lang Lifei a vague wink. When Lang Lifei saw it, he immediately said loudly: "You are a dead eunuch and you have no descendants. What do you want from the inheritance?"
The eunuch's face turned red when his shortcomings were exposed, and his eyes were filled with fierceness! However, he quickly calmed down his anger and said gloomily: "Although our family has no son, we have a nephew, so we naturally have to make plans for him!"
Lang Lifei looked at it and said, "Everyone wants this inheritance that fell from the sky, so why should I give it to you?"
The puffer fish chuckled and said, "This is easy! Then it's just that we two brothers don't get involved in this muddy water!"
After saying this, the entire bow fell into silence. The puffer fish and the eunuch sneered and said nothing, and Lang Lifei didn't look angry anymore. After all, what he just did was just tell Li Dazui what he didn't want to say!
