Great Song Pirate

Chapter 32 Skull Flag

Xu Yi stood at the bow of the boat facing the wind, feeling quite good. Although he was just married for a few days, he couldn’t always have a carnival on such a big island. After all, the island was far from being self-sufficient, and many things had to be supplemented by outsiders. , and after the readjustment of the personnel this time, all the ships need to be adjusted, so Jin Huo decided to start working after discussing with everyone.

As an important leader on the island, although Xu Yi is still newly married, he still took the initiative to invite Ying to go out to sea with the boat and set an example. His maiden heist.

As the head of the family, Jin Laohu was not to be outdone, and personally led his boat to go out to sea together. The five boats on the island were divided into three groups. Shui Shangfei acted together, while Xue Tu led the cargo ship disguised as a merchant, and went to Yangzhou to purchase some necessary goods for the island.

Before setting off, Xu Yi gave Xue Tu a list of purchases, including coal, iron, charcoal, seeds, and a lot of tools. When masters of boats and blacksmiths came to the island, even if they were tied, they would have to be tied up, and they also focused on collecting some pigeons to bring back together. Although I don’t know what Xu Yi wants these things for, but Xu Yi’s previous performance made him Knowing that Xu Yi is definitely not aimless, since he wants these things, they must be of great use, so Xue Tu agreed and led the boat to leave.

Xu Yi on the island specially arranged for some people to stay behind, ordering that all ships that were not on their island were not allowed to enter the island. When their important leaders were away, the people on the island had to obey Yingchun's orders and said that Yingchun was responsible. It was so important that Yingchun, who had been clamoring to go to sea with Xu Yi, was left on the island to prevent her old nest from being taken away.

After making these arrangements, Jin Huo and Xu Yi boarded the boat and set sail. Although they knew they would return soon, they were newly married after all, and Yingchun, who was enjoying this gluey sweet life, bid farewell to her father on the pier He and her husband still shed a lot of tears.

The strong winds in the first two days must have caused many cargo ships to enter the port for shelter. Now that the weather has improved, these cargo ships will leave the port in large numbers. This is a good time for the pirates to attack. This is the experience of the pirates. He went out to sea this time purely for experience.There is some distance between Dulong Island and the route where merchant ships often appear. During this time, Xu Yi drank and laughed with the pirates on the water cat ship. And the stories about the Vikings, all these guys who listened to it looked fascinated, and whenever they were free, they pestered Xu Yi to tell them these stories about pirates. I heard that pirates are actually a very noble thing in those overseas countries in the West. When they started their careers, their self-confidence also inflated unconsciously, and they were no longer ashamed of what they did. Even Li Bo and Shui Mao came to listen to them when they were free, thinking that their young military advisers were You are knowledgeable, you know so many anecdotes, you are really not ordinary people, just make up a story, it sounds so interesting, and it can boost morale. A promising career, it seems that I chose the right path when I went to sea to be a pirate!

Xu Yi has no experience in robbing the sea, and none of their ships are equipped with ballistas, so they still do it in the same old way, so Xu Yi let Shuimao and Wang Feng take full control. After two days of sailing, they entered the busy waters, and their business finally He came to the door, and the shadow of the sail gradually appeared in the distance. After hearing the notice from the watchman on the bucket, Xu Yi took his precious binoculars and climbed to a high place to watch. This time he was lucky, it was a single boat, and It was not an official ship or a warship, but a three-masted merchant ship with a deep draft. Xu Yi told the water cat beside him what he saw. Yi said so clearly, some didn't believe it, and saw that he was holding something strange to watch, so he borrowed Xu Yi's telescope to watch.

"I mean a military advisor! Why can't I see anything! Why is everything between the sky and the earth smaller!" Said the water cat while staring at it with wide-eyed eyes.

Xu Yi was surprised, so he looked at the water cat in a blink of an eye: "I said Brother Sun, you have held this thing upside down, turn it around and have a look again!"

"Oh! This thing still needs to tell the direction! Let me take a look again! Hmm! Wow! It's clear, so clear! It really is a merchant ship, a good thing! It's really a good thing! Brothers copy the guys and get ready, go up, today That's it!" Even a calm person like Shui Mao became excited after seeing Xu Yi's telescope, yelling for the brothers on board to prepare to do it.

The guy in the bucket on the boat is still wondering, he has the best eyesight here, and he is still the tallest, even he didn't see clearly what kind of boat it was, how could the military adviser below know it?

The pirates on the ship immediately got to work, adjusting the sail, adjusting the sail, turning the rudder, the archer picked up the bow and arrow, the jumper picked up the knife and axe, and the hooker picked up the hook gun, one by one. Xu Yi asked Li Bo to take out a cloth bag from his cabin, opened it to reveal a piece of black cloth inside, and Shui Mao wondered: "What did the military commander take out this black cloth for?"

Xu Yi smiled mysteriously: "This is a flag!"

The water cat was puzzled: "Where in this world is black cloth used as a flag?"

Xu Yi didn't speak, but unfolded the black flag. A white skull embroidered with white thread was revealed in the flag, and two long swords were cross-embroidered on the lower end. The skeleton is so eye-catching and ferocious that it makes people feel shuddering, and the people around them gathered around and praised it.

"This is called the pirate flag! From now on, it will be the symbol of our work. As long as we raise this flag, people will know our identity. As long as people see this flag, let them admire it in their hearts!" Xu Yi announced loudly.

I don't agree with admiration, but horror is certain, and no one is going to argue with Xu Yi, but everyone has no opinion on this flag.

The black pirate flag was hoisted on the water cat's boat first, and the same skull flag was hoisted on Wang Feng's boat immediately. The two boats were full of sails and moved towards their prey.

The other party had obviously seen that the two ships approaching did not have good intentions, especially when they saw the same strange black flags raised by the two opposite ships, they became even more vigilant, so they turned their sails and began to try to escape. But how could the fully loaded merchant ship be the opponent of these two ships? After chasing after a stick of incense, this merchant ship was overtaken by Shuimao and Wang Feng's boat, and was caught between the left and the right. Lu can escape.

The pirates stood on the side of the ship, and the archers bent their bows and set arrows to aim at the panicked people on the merchant ship, and shouted: "The pirates are doing business, let the sails down immediately, men are asking for money, not life, stop the ship quickly if you are sensible, otherwise don't go!" Blame the black hands of the brothers, hurry up and drop the sails!"

The boss of the opposing ship was so frightened, not to mention the owner of the ship, that he almost gave up his breath in fright. Seeing that he could not escape, he obediently lowered the three sails. Without the power provided by the sails, , the merchant ship stopped quickly, and Shuimao and Wang Feng's boat immediately lowered its sails and stopped beside the big ship. The hooker first threw the grapple, hooked the side of the big ship, and pulled it down , gradually leaned on the side of the big ship, hooked the side of the other side with a hook gun, fixed the positions of the two ships, and then jumped to help each other to show their skills, and quickly climbed onto the big ship under the leadership of Shui Mao and Wang Feng. Not moving, still aiming at everyone on the other ship with bows and arrows, so that they dare not act rashly, obviously there is no accompanying escort on this ship, the big ship was quickly controlled by the pirates who jumped over, and all the people on board were driven to a corner , took care of it.
