But at this moment, the two pirate ships actually set sail and began to sail towards Liugong Island! Liu Guangting and the old pirate immediately let out a sigh of relief! Liu Guangting said: "These two gangsters are quite sensible. Otherwise, when the sun sets, they will probably be greeted by gunboats!"
The old pirate leader also nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad! It's finally too late!"
After the two pirates landed, the sun emitted its last light and fell to the sea level, which meant that the day was finally over!
Later, when the two pirates rushed over to greet everyone with a smile, they were kicked to the ground by Liu Guangting! Before these two people could get angry, they were held down by the old pirate and explained! Only after they heard this did they realize that they had really escaped death!
After the two stood up, they thanked Liu Guangting and said that if the leader hadn't sent someone to persuade him, they might have been killed while still hesitating! After hearing what they said, the other pirates were much more respectful to Liu Guangting, and they already had the majesty of a dragon leader!
But as soon as Liu Guangting gave them a few words of reprimand, he saw someone walking over with a lantern. The person shouted loudly: "Who among you can speak up?"
When everyone took a look, it turned out to be the servant who had delivered the message at noon, so everyone looked towards Liu Guangting. Upon seeing this, Liu Guangting stepped forward and said, "This little brother, I have the final say here!"
The servant looked him up and down and said, "Since you have the final say, then arrange for some people to go with me to get supplies."
After saying this, the servant looked at the two pirate leaders who had logged in last, and said with a sneer: "You two are in good luck! If it were a moment later, my commander would have ordered a siege!"
These words frightened those two people so much that they couldn't even speak! Liu Guangting hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Brother, how many people do you think we can send to relieve him?"
The servant said: "Send ten people to each ship and bring back all the supplies needed for these three days."
Liu Guangting immediately turned around and ordered to go down. The pirate leaders also obeyed the order and quickly named people from their own families. Gather together and be taken away by servants.
When they were far away, the pirate leaders called over the two people who landed last. Surrounded by two people and ridiculed! The two people wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and bowed around to get through this section.
That night, the pirates were worried about a raid by the official army, and almost half of them stayed up all night. Although they remained alert, they were relatively quiet. But after the lights-out signal was blown by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, it was really silent, without any sound! Look at those pirates stunned! Read the book
At this time, Liu Guangting sneered and said to the pirate leaders who stayed up late in the tent: "You guys, what can you do if you are careful? There are elite soldiers on the opposite side, and it only takes a charge to break us up! So don't worry blindly, it's all Go to bed quickly!"
The pirate leaders all turned red with embarrassment, and then ordered everyone to rest. Only a few people remained on sentinel alert. But as expected, I spent the night safely.
Wait until dawn the next day. The pirates were awakened by the sound of the wake-up call. They got up and cursed one by one. Only then did they realize that they were not in the pirate's stronghold now, but on Liugong Island. Only then did they restrain themselves one by one!
Before they could wake up, sharp whistles sounded one after another in the camp opposite! Then came the sound of dense footsteps, which scared these pirates to wake up instantly! Many people pulled out their knives directly and looked like they were ready to fight. The camp was in chaos!
After waiting for a while, he discovered that the officers and soldiers were just doing morning exercises, so he wiped his sweat and took back his weapons! Seeing this scene, Liu Guangting couldn't help but cursed again and drove the pirates to prepare breakfast quickly.
Just after breakfast, the servant from last night came to deliver another message. He handed a warrant to Liu Guangting and said: "With this warrant, you can go to the dock to visit the new warships. But you can only watch from the outside, and you are not allowed to board the ship. And there will be a drill later. You can Climb aboard other boats and watch.”

When they heard there was a drill, they knew it was coming! But they also want to know what the new warship looks like and how powerful it is? So they all urged Liu Guangting to leave quickly.
After they rushed to the dock and handed over the warrant, they were indeed guided by soldiers to see the new ship. Before they even got close to the warship, the pirates were already discussing the situation of the ship! One of the biggest concerns was that they didn't see the cannon on the deck! So if you have the opportunity to take a closer look this time, be sure to take a closer look.
Before they even got close, the first thing that caught their eyes was the rolled up canvas! Many pirates have seen Western ships and are very familiar with this kind of soft sail!
The characteristics of this kind of sail are that it has a large area and is good at catching the wind, so the speed of the fleet is relatively high! But there is also a disadvantage, that is, once there is a breach, the motivation will drop quickly! Unlike Chinese hard sails, making several holes will not affect the speed at all!
To be honest, Ms. Zhang put a lot of effort into making this kind of canvas! Because this kind of canvas is something that has never been seen in China, we can only study it from scratch!
Ms. Zhang gathered a large number of weavers and embroiderers to study together. After a long time, she figured out the method of making canvas and established a brand new workshop! As a result, the first batch of products from the workshop were used on this ship!
When they got closer to the ship, they discovered that the ship was much taller than the ships they usually used! When they got closer, they habitually began to estimate the combat effectiveness of the ship and started discussing it.
The sailors on the ship were lying on the side of the ship, pointing at them condescendingly. But he didn't do anything else. At this time, a pirate said: "When this ship came from a distance, I clearly saw that there were no cannons on the deck. But now there are so many more small doors on the side of the ship. Do you think there are cannons on the back?" emplacement?"
Another pirate said: "That's not necessarily true! Even the cannons of those Western ships are placed on the deck. I've never seen them hidden in the cabin!"
The pirates think so because they have never seen a real Western warship. Now all the ships traveling to and from China are armed merchant ships. Since it is a merchant ship, it is mainly used to carry cargo, so it does not have an artillery deck. All self-defense artillery is placed on the deck.
