    The boat's sails were fully opened and it quickly returned to the pirate headquarters. The pirate headquarters was set up on a small island called Red Coral. There were ships of different sizes moored in the leeward bay, and there were pirates of great white sharks floating on the masts of each ship.  Flags, there are as many as twenty or thirty ships in number.  Red Coral Island is named after the sea area around the island is rich in red corals. The trees on the island cover the sky, and the clear sea water hits the beach. Wave after wave pushes Lan Lin's boat to the shore. After Lan Lin's boat docked, Lan Lin warned her three times again.  A subordinate could not tell what happened to the merchant ship, so he led everyone ashore.  In the middle of the red coral island, a clearing has been opened up with many houses built on it. Lan Lin walked straight to the largest room in the middle.  The leader of the pirate group, Big Beard, got this nickname because of the thick black mustache on his face. Hearing that Lan Lin had returned, he immediately greeted her.  The bearded man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lan Lin and said: "Sister, why did you come back? I have already sent people to look for you everywhere, just for fear that something might happen to you." Lan Lin replied nonchalantly: "We didn't pay attention.  The boat drifted away, which made my brother worried. "Next time, you better not go out to investigate." The bearded man said worriedly.  Lan Lin smiled and said: "If we were all on this island, I would be bored to death." The two returned to the house and sat down. The bearded man sighed and said: "Business has been getting worse and worse recently. I haven't touched him for a long time."  We caught a big fish." Lan Lin said helplessly: "Yes, all the nearby merchant ships have taken a detour. Brother, why don't we wash our hands and go back to the land?" "Sister, you are too naive.  In recent years, we have robbed so many ships from Lin State. Do you think Lin State will let us go? Moreover, I heard that Lin State has begun to build a large number of ships and may come to encircle us." Big Beard said worriedly.  Lan Lin thought for a moment and said: "How about we go to Si State. I heard that Si State is very good now and the people are very rich." "We are pirates, and we are also pirates wherever we go. We must wash our hands in a golden basin in this life.  , I think it¡¯s difficult.¡± The bearded man said sadly.  Seeing that she could not be persuaded, Lan Lin had no choice but to keep silent. The brother and sister chatted for a few words. Lan Lin was tired since she had just returned from the sea, so she went back to rest first.  As soon as Lan Lin left, one of his subordinates reported to Big Beard: "Boss, we checked Leader Lan's ship and found signs that the mast had been recently repaired." "You mean the mast was repaired when my sister went to sea?"  Big Beard immediately became confused and shouted: "Call all the people who went to sea with my sister." After a while, three of Lan Lin's men were called in front of Big Beard. The three saw that Big Beard was covered in tendons.  Even though he was tall and tall, he lowered his head and dared not speak.  Big Beard sat on the chair and asked casually: "Tell me, what happened this time at sea?" One of the pirates secretly raised his head and glanced at Big Beard, and saw that he was staring at him. He was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.  He turned his head and murmured: "Boss, the blue leader didn't let us talk." "Bah!" The big beard slapped the table, making the three of them jump. The big beard said, "Who is the boss here?" "Boss, I  "Say!" Another pirate hurriedly reported, telling the story of his mast being broken and drifting on the sea, and then being rescued by Qian Xiaoxing's merchant ship. At the end, he also said: "Leader Lan intends to let them go, saying that we cannot repay kindness with enmity."  , Don¡¯t let us talk.¡± After hearing this, Big Beard began to think and said, ¡°How can we let go of so many merchant ships? Since they saved Lan Lin¡¯s life, then we will not kill them, which can be regarded as repaying our kindness, and we will give them to them immediately.  I gathered people to catch this big fish. Be careful not to disturb my sister. "The pirates left a part of the island to guard the island. Three hundred people took three large boats and more than ten small boats. Under the leadership of three Lan Lin's men,  Go out to sea.  Red Coral Island is about two days away from Qian Xiaoxing¡¯s fleet. Beard knew that the merchant ship might escape, so he arranged for the following small boats to be separated by a few nautical miles and conduct a fan-shaped search.  Three days later, a small boat finally discovered the traces of Qian Xiaoxing's fleet and came back to report it to Big Beard. Big Beard immediately ordered to move forward at full speed and pounce on Qian Xiaoxing's merchant fleet.  Qian Xiaoxing¡¯s fleet traveled day and night, but could not get out of the pirates¡¯ sphere of influence. Qian Xiaoxing was still very worried and gave the telescope to the lookout on the mast, hoping that if there were real pirates, they would be able to prepare in advance.  Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoxing's idea came true. The lookout saw three large ships approaching in the distance. Through the telescope, he saw the pirate flag hanging with a great white shark and immediately shouted: "The pirates are coming! The pirates are coming.  " "Damn it!" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but cursed, "We were betrayed by Lan Lin, you ungrateful fellow."?It would be better to let them starve to death at sea!  " Lao Li said anxiously on the side: "Boss Qian, put down the boat and run away. This blackbeard pirate not only wants goods, but also people. He will kill all the disobedient captives and sell the obedient ones as slaves. If  She is a beautiful woman, and they" "How about it?" Qian Xiaoxing asked hurriedly. "They captured their base and used her as a female slave, letting everyone play with her.  "Old Li replied. Qian Xiaoxing immediately thought of Shi Yeying and Ling Shan, and of course Li Ting. If they were captured by pirates, the consequences would be disastrous, and asked: "Can you escape in a small boat?  " Lao Li didn't dare to hide it and answered truthfully: "If the pirates chase me, the chance is very small. If we don't chase him, we will have a chance to run away.  " Qian Xiaoxing immediately shook his head when he heard this. He didn't have much chance even if he ran away. What's more, he was the chief of staff of Siguo's division. He was scared and ran away by a few hundred pirates. Even if he could run away, he would be laughed at by the world.  Recalling the last time when thirty-two members of the guard company fought against thousands of Hu troops, I felt confident and replied: "If we can't run away, then we will fight to the end. Don't worry, Lao Li, my guard company can fight with one  Block ten, a ragtag group of pirates, nothing to be afraid of!  " Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing didn't even run away, Lao Li made up his mind to fight the pirates and said, "Okay, then I'll ask the sailors to help!  " Qian Xiaoxing gathered the soldiers of the guard company, and everyone was ready to go. Qian Xiaoxing encouraged: "You are the best soldiers in our country. I believe you can win against such a group of pirates. Do you have confidence?  "    "have!  "The soldiers of the guard company were full of confidence and replied in unison. "Let's go!  Qian Xiaoxing waved as usual, but found that this was a ship and there was nowhere to go, so he had to say: "Stand where you are!"  ¡± The bearded pirate ship is chasing the merchant fleet from behind, getting closer and closer. The performance of the pirate ship is very good, and it can drive very fast without loading cargo. The general strategy of pirates is to bring the pirate ship close to the merchant ship, and then the pirates  Jumping into the merchant ship and taking control of the ship. Watching the pirate ship gradually catch up, Qian Xiaoxing gave the order: "Let's turn around and intercept it!"  The other boats moved on.  " Qian Xiaoxing's boat, which was originally leading the way in front of the caravan, immediately broke away from the fleet, made a half circle and headed towards the pirate ship. Three large pirate ships rushed over in a triangle shape, with the big beard at the front  On the boat, he looked at the merchant fleet in front of him, as if he was already a piece of fish on the chopping board, already allowed to be slaughtered by himself. Looking at the deep waterline of the merchant ship, the bearded man was very happy. He finally caught a big fish this time.  Of course, if Big Beard knew which ships contained fifteen million taels of silver, he would be so happy that he would laugh out loud. Seeing that the first ship actually turned around and rushed towards him, Big Beard laughed loudly, on land.  Not daring to be the king and hegemon, there are really no bearded enemies on the sea to be afraid of, so he raised a hook and shouted: "Brothers, come on, wealth and women are waiting for you!"  " Qian Xiaoxing's ship was getting closer and closer to the pirate ship. Everyone had no experience in naval battles, so they gathered at the bow of the ship, took out their weapons, and looked nervously at the three pirate ships on the opposite side. Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing's ship was about to hit the big ship.  Beard¡¯s ship, Beard immediately ordered: ¡°Full left rudder, lower the sails!  "The two ships passed by. Big Beard picked up the hook in his hand and threw it. The hook landed on the deck of Qian Xiaoxing's ship with a clang. Then he pulled it and the hook hooked the gang of the ship. The other pirates also  They all threw their hooks over, trying to pull the two ships together. There were 300 pirates, and each of the three ships carried more than a hundred people. Qian Xiaoxing saw that there were not many people on board, and ordered: "When they come, give me a hard time."  Kill hard!  " "Bang", the two ships came close to each other, causing the ship to shake. The pirates were already used to this kind of shaking. They were all agile, shouting "Ouch" and jumping on the edge of the ship.  Come over. The soldiers of the guard company lined up along the side of the ship, holding sharp samurai swords in their hands. When they saw a pirate jumping over, they immediately slashed them with their swords and chopped the pirates down on the deck. The pirates were not afraid of life and death.  It surged over like a wave, and some pirates grabbed the cable and swung over. As soon as they swung into the air, they saw an arrow hit them. It turned out to be Shi Yeying's bow and arrow in his hand, and he kept shooting "swish, swish, swish".  As soon as the pirate who was injured by the arrow fell onto the ship, he was beaten to death by the sailors led by Lao Li with sticks and paddles. Seeing this scene, the bearded man became confused. Who were the people on this ship? Their combat effectiveness was so high.  But the experience of never losing a battle at sea made him super confident. He took a long sword himself and led the pirates to charge again. The two teams fought together, with swords and swords in the shadow, and they were fighting in flesh and blood.  Joined the queue to resist the pirates, holding weapons with both handsThe sword was stained with a lot of blood on his face. As he was chopping vigorously, he heard Lao Li say from behind: "Boss Qian, the pirate ship on the left is also approaching!" Qian Xiaoxing looked back and saw a song on the starboard side of the ship.  The pirate ship was approaching quickly. It seemed that they wanted to attack their own ship from both sides after getting close. Qian Xiaoxing's guards were still struggling to hold one side. If they were to attack from both sides, the situation would be dangerous.  Seeing the pirate ship on the port side with all its sails open and coming quickly, Qian Xiaoxing shouted: "Zhang Yongchao, immediately use the refining bomb to burn the sail of the pirate ship on the port side for me!"  When he reached the port side, he threw the refining bomb fiercely. The refining bomb drew a line of fire in the air and hit the main sail. The white sail was originally very dry in the scorching sun. After being ignited by the refining bomb, it immediately began to burn.  When I got up, a big hole was burned out in a short time.  "Throw a few more!" Qian Xiaoxing continued to order, fearing that the fire was not big enough.  The soldiers of the guard company took the time to throw over ten more. On the deck of the pirate ship, the fire on the sails became bigger immediately due to the blowing of the sea breeze. The pirates originally wanted to approach and charge, but when they saw the fire, they immediately went to put out the fire.  The sails were burned out, the ship lost power, and it was getting farther and farther away from Qian Xiaoxing's ship.  The crisis was over, Qian Xiaoxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the pirates continued to attack under the leadership of Big Beard, the pirates' confidence at the beginning also became timid. The opponents they encountered before were defeated effortlessly.  , this attack lasted for so long, but still could not land on the other side's ship. Looking at the dead brothers, although everyone was still shouting, they hesitated and did not dare to move forward.  Qian Xiaoxing saw that the situation was gradually stabilizing. As he continued to fight, there were fewer and fewer pirates and the threat became smaller and smaller. It seemed that he had a good chance of winning. However, he suddenly saw that the third pirate ship was chasing the fleeing merchant ship.  And we're about to catch up.
