19. Raid on Bailing Island
But the pirates' glory came too early. After quickly subduing three ships, the Thunder chased the ship that was running away straight to Bailing Island and rushed up, ensuring that there was no ship to go back to report the news.
At the absolute speed of the Thunder, an hour later, the ship that fled to Bailing Island was also captured. The other three ships on the radar fled in three directions, and the distance was already far away. However, the overall direction was still detouring towards Bailing Island, just going around in a big circle.
The three ships that were captured were still far away. Lu Ruolin put down a group of people from the Thunder to tie up the pirates to guard them, notifying the subsequent ships to come and receive them as soon as possible, and chased them up according to the largest ship on the radar.
Katsuhiro was sitting at the bow of the boat with a slight mercy. This time he came out, he was really a big loss. The fat sheep was not slaughtered, and his men and the boat were lost. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would have been caught. I don’t know where the forces that suddenly appeared were. How could there be such a huge boat? It looks like a Western boat, but the Western boats I have seen in the past are not so big, and there are so many cannons.
Haven't those foreigners been doing business in the south? When did they come to the north? Kang Cheng, who came to the island for a while, couldn't figure it out, but when he thought that this ship would be here in the future, the business in the north would be difficult to do, so how could he live in the future? Maybe the third brother Kong Daqiang was trapped in the hands of these people, otherwise how could he have no news? He had to go back and discuss with Wang Dabiao what to do.
Suddenly, the sirens on the ship sounded, and the Thunder appeared in front of Kazunaraijima and rushed straight in at high speed. Kazunaraijima was stunned. He had already gotten rid of the giant ship, but he could find himself in the vast sea. Is he too lucky or has any secret method? He didn't have time to think so much, so he quickly turned to escape, and mobilized the artillery and archers, and he had to fight to the death. It was not Kazunaraijima's character.
After the Thunder finally approached, several cannons on Katsushima's ship opened fire, but what made them feel sad was that because the distance was very close, the shells were hit on the Thunder. However, the steel hull was not comparable to that of the wooden-shelled ships today, and the shells were bounced open. Not to mention breaking through the hull, they only left a few inconspicuous small marks on the hull.
Katsurachi Katsurachi was confused. He knew that he had very little chance of winning, but the gap in strength caught him off guard. He was stunned. He didn't know how to fight next. Lu Ruolin did not let the Thunder fire. He could hit a few shots at such a close distance, but these ships were all captives he planned to capture, and they were his own immediately. He was reluctant to break them. However, he was not so polite to the Japanese pirates on the ship who were preparing to fight desperately with Japanese swords on the ship. The musket team directly fired several times. After a banging gunshot, a large number of Japanese pirates on the ship fell down, and unfortunately Katsurachi Katsurachi was also among them.
The boss died, and the boss's confidant died, and the other pirates were completely disheartened. In addition, the loud horn on the Thunder sounded "Surrender to avoid death!". When the first person threw away his weapons and surrendered on his knees, the pirates gave up resisting surrender.
After leaving some people to guard the pirates, the Thunder continued to pursue the other two ships, and finally spent more than half a day to capture the remaining two ships. This battle took one day, and seven ships were captured with zero casualties. Except for Katsurashima Yasumi who resisted in the battle, the other ships basically surrendered when the Thunder caught up and approached.
Because the battlefield was too scattered, it took a lot of time to collect the captive ships. Fortunately, each ship was equipped with walkie-talkies and the Thunder radar guidance, and it took most of the day to gather all the ships together. The entire fleet of 11 ships were scattered, which was very intimidating under the leadership of the Thunder. Unfortunately, the crew was seriously insufficient and there were too many prisoners, so they were not yet able to fight.
After plundering seven ships of wealth, there were almost 30,000 taels of silver, which made Lu Ruolin recover. This was the silver that the pirates carried with him. I believe that there would be more silver on Bailing Island, and Lu Ruolin was very excited about this.
Regarding the captured pirates, Lu Ruolin still followed the original rules and sank the sea for those who had innocent lives or those who were destined to be conscientious. Basically, the backbone of Katsushima's team met this standard. Of course, some of them had been beaten to death in advance.
What Lu Ruolin did not expect was that only a small part of Park Jung-hwan's team met Chen Hai's standards, including Park Jung-hwan himself and others, who were considered thieves and were also righteous. They basically would not kill or surrender or be captured. They usually only rob money and do not kill lives, which made Lu Ruolin a little surprised.
After cleaning up the prisoners, after the previous reports and exposure, most pirates had no way out. With Lu Ruolin's strength display, it was delicious and delicious, and admonished Huairou, and finally, it added a big killer weapon - a TV series, which made the pirates gradually return to their hearts. Lu Ruolin broke up the tamed pirates and reorganized them and distributed them to various ships, which basically met the needs of combat.
In fact, other pirates basically use this routine when acquiring teams. It is impossible to achieve loyalty of 100. The leader controls the backbone and the backbone controls the bottom, and basically do what they can do.
After a few days of running-in at sea, there are basically no hidden dangers in the personnel combination. At least when fighting a downwind, there is no need to worry about the team rebelling. Of course, if you lose a battle, it is not guaranteed, but with the Thunder, there will be basically no defeat at sea.
After destroying the teams of Kang Seong and Park Jung-hwan from Lai Island, only Wang Dabiao's fleet was left on Bai Ling Island. Now that Wang Dabiao has not confirmed that Kang Seong and others have been eliminated, he is on guard or escaped in advance. Lu Ruolin needs to immediately raid Bai Ling Island, attack him unprepared and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.
Wang Dabiao has been in a state of uneasiness recently. Although there has been no situation behind Kong Daqiang, he always feels that someone has set his sights on him. So this time he sent Kam Sung and Park Jung-hwan to go out to sea together and stayed in his hometown. If the situation is wrong, it will immediately change.
Kang Sung and Park Jung-hwan have been out of the sea for a few days. According to their usual experience, this is a normal situation. After all, it is not easy to search for prey at sea, but I also reminded them that they should not go out for too long. If they really don’t find the target, come back quickly. The situation has been a bit abnormal recently, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.
According to the agreement, they will come back in the past two days, regardless of whether they have gained or not. After going out to sea to make trouble, the pirates' energy should be exhausted.
On this day, the observation deck on the mountain on the island was seen from a distance from Kangsung and Park Jung-hwan's fleets were slowly sailing towards the dock. Seeing that the boat had a shallow draft, there should be no gains in this trip to sea, but this is also normal. Not every time you go to sea, you can catch prey.
In order to ensure the effect of the raid, Lu Ruolin used the ships of Kam Sung and Park Jung-hwan who were captured from the island to enter the port, ensuring that Wang Dabiao's fleet was controlled as soon as possible. After completely surrendering, Park Jung-hwan volunteered to take the lead. After all, as the fourth leader of Bai Ling Island, he had a relatively high status on the island. The Thunder and several other ships were cruising on the sea, and were ready to act as a backup blockade force assault dock to intercept ships leaking.
Park Jung-hwan took the lead after the boat docked, followed by his original subordinates, and some slaves on the dock stepped forward and asked, "Second Master, do you need help from the young people?"
"Get out! It's so unlucky. This trip is empty." Park Jung-hwan said viciously to the slavery on the dock.
These slaves usually have low status. Seeing that Park Jung-hwan's face was not very good, he nodded and bent down and kept running away.
Soon all the people on the seven ships came down, and the slaves gradually found something wrong. There were many more people holding muskets in the team. There were no such people in Kam Sung and Park Jung-hwan's team before. Did they just join? But they didn't dare either, but they just felt something was wrong and ran away from a distance.
Park Jung-hwan walked in front of the team and gave a wink to the left and right. Several people in the team led different people to Wang Dabiao's ship respectively.
Wang Dabiao's ship has been on duty recently and is on guard at all times. He is not allowed to approach anyone he is familiar with. Seeing Park Jung-hwan leading people to come towards him, the on-duty personnel were very alert and quickly pulled away from the springboard and asked Park Jung-hwan's purpose.
Because the gangs on Bai Ling Island are relatively independent, and they are cooperative and guard against each other, as core equipment, ships are the focus of everyone's defense, and it is basically impossible to get on board. Park Jung-hwan didn't expect to deceive these on-duty personnel to cheat the ship, but just wanted to attack them and be unprepared.
Park Jung-hwan didn't hesitate. Seeing that each team had locked his target, he immediately launched an attack. Although there were on duty personnel on the ship, the main combatants were still resting on the shore and there were not many people. However, if the time was delayed and the enemy's support was reached, it would be more difficult to take down the ship.
After careful planning in advance, Lu Ruolin decided to start immediately once he took action, Park Jung-hwan's ship would start, blocking Wang Dabiao's ship's route from the port, and then using a large number of personnel to capture the enemy ships as fast as possible, and notifying the Thunder on the sea to quickly support it.
Soon the movement on the dock alarmed Wang Dabiao. He noticed something was wrong on the dock, so he immediately called his subordinates to run towards the dock. Halfway through the way, he met someone who came to report the news. Yan said that Park Jung-hwan had turned against him. Wang Dabiao was furious and had no time to think about it, so he stabilized the dock first, and led his brothers to shout and kill Park Jung-hwan, the second-five-child.
Soon, Wang Dabiao came to the dock with his strong morale, and met the musket team led by Sun Fugui. Sun Fugui strictly followed Lu Ruolin's instructions and shot in three teams continuously. Because the flintlock gun is powerful, has high accuracy, and is relatively fast to load, it is far from comparable to the muskets of the current muskets. Wang Dabiao, who thought he was at a safe distance, was commanding his men to rush forward, but was shot by the opposite volleyball gun and was burping on the spot.
