Great Song Pirate

Chapter 550
It was Urau Kubo's younger brother Urau Shimohiro who stood up and spoke. When Urau Kubo sent people to Dazaifu, he also sent someone to inform Urau Shimohiro at the same time, so when he saw Muto Hirobumi here today, he didn't Notified everyone of this news, not because he didn't want to say it before, but because he felt that this matter was really embarrassing!

His words immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. Tanegashima is not a small island, there are many people on it, and it is the territory of the Shimadzu family. There are not too many soldiers and horses. Why was it captured by skeleton pirates all at once? ?

"Is this news accurate?" Muto Hirobumi was a little disbelieving, so he asked Urao Shimohiro.

"It's true! A few days ago we got news that the skeleton pirates attacked Tanegashima, so we sent [-] ships and a thousand soldiers to Tanegashima to support the Shimadzu family. Unexpectedly, Tanegashima has been captured by the skeleton army. The [-] ships sent by our Osumi country and the previous soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, only a few escaped back! Skeleton pirates are so hateful!" Urao Shimohiro said through gritted teeth, but he didn't say anything His family's general Takeuchi surrendered to the skeleton army. In that case, they would be too ashamed!

Muto Hirobumi believed his words now, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the Shimadzu family? And what about Miyamoto?"

Pu Sheng Xiahong shook his head and said: "I don't know! I guess it's more ominous than good!"

Muto Hirobumi continued to ask a little nervously: "Then, can those of you who have escaped clearly see the exact number of skeleton pirates?"

This Pu Shengxiahong nodded and replied: "According to the soldiers who escaped, the skeleton pirates have about 30 warships, most of which are as tall as buildings and very strong, and some of their ships are equipped with This weapon called Lei Gong Pao is very powerful! It can shoot iron pellets, it is extremely fast, and when it is fired, it will spit fire and make a loud noise, which is irresistible, and I hope Master Shaoer be careful!"

Hirofumi Muto felt relieved again after hearing what Urao Shimohiro had said. Last time when Oshima lost Kuroshima, he ran back and said that the skeleton pirates had forty or fifty ships. It seems that this guy was exaggerating to whitewash his failure Given the strength of the skeleton pirates, as for their ships being tall and strong, this is not a big problem. Song people are good at shipbuilding, which is something everyone knows. Most of these skeleton pirates are from Song Dynasty, and the ships are bigger. It is not surprising that they are stronger, and Muto Hirobumi has already known about the news that they have a terrible thunder cannon, but he has never seen it, but in his opinion, even if the skeleton pirates' ships are more powerful, the evil tigers can't They couldn't hold back the pack of wolves. Their current strength was at least ten to one. If ten of them beat one, they couldn't believe that they couldn't be killed.

"So it turns out that the skeleton pirates are indeed hateful. General Pusheng doesn't have to worry. If this is the case, then we will find these skeleton pirates even better. It turns out that when I came here, I was worried that they would run around, which made us We can't catch them. Now they took the initiative to capture Tanegashima and settle down there. On the contrary, it is convenient for us to find them for a decisive battle. With our current strength, it is more than enough to deal with them. As long as we know where they are, we are not afraid that we will not be able to deal with them. If this is the case, then we don't need to delay, tomorrow morning, our whole army will lift anchor, and immediately go to Tanegashima to wipe out all the skeleton pirates there!" Muto Hirobumi waved confidently to the people present and said loudly.

A feeling of underestimating the enemy continued to spread among their fleet.

Within five days, which is also the shortest time that Takeuchi said, a huge fleet consisting of hundreds of ships of various colors appeared on the northwest sea of ​​Tanegashima. The sailing fleet occupied a huge sea surface, and the flags and flags of various colors in the fleet fluttered with the wind. Their strength was so great that the fishermen on the Japanese fishing boats they encountered by chance looked sideways and cheered for their fleet.

Muto Hirobumi stands proudly on a large ship in the center, this ship is the best warship in their fleet and the entire Japanese country at present, because this ship is not built by the Japanese, but an authentic Jiangbei sea ship , is the unique ship of the Fubo Army, and it is one of the ships that Xu Yi assigned to the water cat. When the water cat was defeated, the ship was captured by the Japanese and brought to Chikuzen Kingdom, where it became Dazaifu The flagship, this time handed over to Hirobumi Muto for use.

Muto felt lucky to have such a powerful warship. In this huge fleet of his, such a warship stood out from the crowd, and the feeling of running camels among the sheep made people feel a sense of contempt. The feeling of the world, Muto Hirobumi stood on the tall ship tower at the stern, looked around, and was surrounded by Yamato warships that could hardly be seen at a glance. To have a chance to command such a huge fleet in this life, for him and others It is a supreme honor for the Muto family, he is almost completely intoxicated by this good feeling!

Before dawn in the morning, Muto Hirobumi took the assembled fleet and began to weigh anchor and sail out of Fangjin Port. It took almost half a day just to set sail and gather all the ships in formation at sea. It was time for the sun to reach the top of the head, so under the command of Muto Hirobumi, they sailed along the wind and sailed towards the southeast all the way, but they walked briskly. His first destination was finally Heishima. , he planned to start from the black island and sweep all the way. This time, he will completely wipe out the skeleton pirates entrenched in this area, and passing in this direction can also block the way for the skeleton pirates to escape westward, so that even if they are After the defeat, they couldn't escape back to the Song Dynasty even if they wanted to escape. They could only escape to the vast and unknown sea in the east, so as to completely eliminate the skeleton pirates and save them from recharging their energy after running back. After a while, he came back and continued to do evil!

Hirobumi Muto’s decision was considered far-sighted, and he made a decision after many discussions with his subordinates. Before he set off, he informed the generals of the various countries who accompanied the team about his decision, and got their unanimous approval. , So after going out to sea, his so-called Invincible Fleet had high morale, beat and sang along the way, and rushed to the Black Island (Cancer Island).

However, starting from Fangjin Port, it was a voyage of about a hundred miles to reach Hei Dao. Even with the wind down, it took them more than half a day to reach Hei Dao. When Hei Dao appeared in their line of sight, the sky had already It began to gradually dim, and this is exactly what Hirobumi Muto wanted. When they attacked the Black Island last time, they used the night to sneak attack on the Black Island, and this time the skeleton pirates also used the night when they came back for revenge. The cover raid landed on Kuroshima, so this time Muto Hirobumi also decided to use the same method, night attack!Give full play to the advantages of his ships and personnel, capture the black island in one fell swoop, and wipe out some of the skeleton pirates entrenched here first, so that the strength of the skeleton pirates will suffer a certain loss and weaken, so that they can be wiped out later, but they No one noticed that at this time, a fast boat quietly sailed away from the other side of the Black Island, and it was running in the opposite direction to them. It quickly sailed out of sight and turned to the east, sailing all the way at a fast speed. and go.

When it was completely dark that day, Muto Hirobumi saw some dots of flames appearing on the black island from a distance, so he was overjoyed. There were lights on the black island, which meant that someone was entrenched. , at least fight a beautiful raid first, so that the morale of the soldiers in his fleet can be improved again.

So he immediately ordered the fleet to encircle the Black Island, not allowing even a single bird to escape from the Black Island. Then the fleet immediately launched, swaggered around, and surrounded the small Black Island in one fell swoop, and then The fleet received an order from Hirobumi Muto to attack.

Immediately, a large number of Japanese people took their boats and under the cover of night, attacked Hei Island aggressively. Without encountering any resistance, they successfully landed on the coast of Hei Island from all directions. They didn't encounter a little bit of resistance, and they couldn't believe it went so smoothly. You must know that when they attacked the Black Island last time, even with the support of the traitors such as Miyamoto, they were still attacked by the entrants on the Black Island. The desperate resistance of the skeleton pirates caused them a lot of losses, but today they successfully completed the task of landing on the island!The Japanese who are a little bit smarter can't help but start to be a little suspicious!

But doubts are doubts. Now that I have landed on the island, I have to go to the island for a while, how can I kill a few skeleton pirates!So those Japanese soldiers who landed on the island, led by their respective leaders, began to rush towards the place where the lights were shining bravely.

When some Japanese sailed into the pier of the Black Island, they suddenly found that, let alone a fleet of skeleton pirates, the entire pier was empty, not even a sampan was found, only some watchtowers with some The light bulbs and torches emit faint light. Under such light, the entire pier looks a little ghostly, which makes people feel a little creepy. It doesn't look like there is anyone here, it's more like a ghost island. .

But at this time, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ashore to check it out, so they carefully put on their shields, boarded the pier with swords, guns, bows and arrows, and quickly rushed towards the places with lights.

But at this time, there was still no movement on the island or on the pier. With the help of those faint lights, we could only see some shadowy figures on the watchtower, looking down, but there was no sound.

A few Japanese climbed up to an archery tower nearby, and when they went up, they swung their knives at the "person" standing on the archery tower. As a result, when the knife fell on the "person", they felt something was wrong. It fell to the ground, but no one screamed, but a strong corpse smell.

(Shouting again, brothers, please give your precious monthly pass to Pimple tomorrow! Anyway, those great gods don’t care about this anymore!)
