Great Song Pirate

Chapter 557 My God
Muto was riding his boat at this time, leading his fleet, rushing to the forefront of all the Japanese ships, and now his eyes are only left with the fleeing fleet of skeleton pirates ahead.

Looking at the fleet of skeleton pirates that was beginning to approach, Muto had a smirk on his lips. He had to admit the wisdom of the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, and only the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty could build such a good ship. He sat down No matter the speed or the stability of the boat, it greatly surpassed the boats made by the shipbuilders of Yamato. When he saw this boat for the first time, he fell in love with it from the bottom of his heart. This warship built by the Song people immediately took it as their own, regardless of the jealousy of other colleagues who participated in the war.

When he brought the ship back to the Chikuzen country, he asked shipbuilding craftsmen to watch the ship, trying to make them imitate a batch of such ships, but these craftsmen watched the ship's structure and After the process, they all shook their heads, expressing that they could do nothing, the structure of this ship was something they had never seen before, and the complexity of the keel and other components was far beyond their cognition, and various The overlapping of the components is far from being able to be completed by the technologies they have mastered. The final conclusion is that unless the shipbuilder of the Song Dynasty who built the ship comes in person, otherwise, they will not be able to imitate this ship of.

This result disappointed Muto very much, and he almost executed these shipwrights on the spot, but thinking about the need for these shipwrights to build ships for them in the future, he had no choice but to give up, but he regarded this ship as his own from then on. His private collection, equipped the ship with his best sailors, and took good care of the ship every day. Today, when he started chasing the fleet of these skeleton pirates, his ship finally showed extreme superiority He quickly rushed from the center of the fleet to the front of the fleet, and the speed of the ship far exceeded the speed of all other ships in his fleet, so that after chasing for a while, he had to drop some sails and slow down , to cooperate with the actions of other ships.

He wasn't stupid enough to catch up with the skeleton pirate fleet in front of him with a boat himself, and confront them one by one, because there are at least several other ships in the opposing fleet that sat with him. There are ships of the same shape as the ship, but he is not confident that God Amaterasu will favor him and allow him to be invincible. As the commander of the entire fleet, he will not take such a risk himself.

Looking at the huge fleet that procrastinated and stretched for more than ten miles behind him, and looking at the fleet of skeleton pirates fleeing at high speed in front of him, Muto felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. God knows that relying on his ships Going after the fleet in front, how long will it take to catch up with them? If they really want to flee desperately, he really may not be able to catch up with them. After chasing for a while, he started to catch up with them I hope that the fleet he sent to the south of Tanegashima can show up at a critical time and intercept this skeleton pirate fleet. That may be their only chance to catch up with this skeleton pirate fleet. up!

Just as he was looking at the skeleton army fleet in front of him, the ships behind began to sound their horns. From this sound, he could hear a kind of frightened emotion contained in it. As soon as he heard it, it was the sound of the alarm. Could it be that something went wrong later?He walked towards the stern of the ship, and looked back with the awning in his hand, but he saw nothing but the shadow of the sail, so he asked suspiciously to the general beside him, "Why is there a sound coming from behind?" Where's the siren?"

The family general who was asked was also full of doubts. He knew as much as Muto, but he didn't dare not answer the master's question, so he hesitated and said, "Did the ship behind us find it again?" Where's the skeleton pirate's fleet?"

"Nonsense! The skeleton pirate fleet is fleeing in front, what other fleet will appear behind us?" Muto immediately reprimanded him. At this time, he did not believe that there would be a skeleton pirate fleet. Will appear behind them too!
After listening to the sound of the trumpet from behind with his ears pricked up, the general said carefully to Muto: "But my lord, this kind of trumpet is indeed an alarm sound, and it will only be blown when encountering an enemy attack." The sound of the trumpet!"

So Muto listened carefully, and became even more puzzled. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "It's not impossible at all, after all, the fleet of the skeleton pirates in front has only [-] ships. There will still be some ships of the Skeleton Pirates that have not come out, and they are coming to support their main fleet now! Let's not be disturbed by them, keep an eye on the fleet in front, as long as we get rid of their fleet, Even if there are only a few ships left, there will be no big waves!" Muto arbitrarily gave a definition to this alarm. This kind of thinking came from his analysis of the power of the skeleton pirates, so he didn't believe that this would happen. Soon there will be a large number of skeleton pirate ships appearing behind them!

But listening to the sound of the alarm horn coming from behind, the family general still cautiously advised: "Your Excellency is right, we should keep an eye on this fleet first and prevent them from escaping, but the owner I thought, even if there are some skeleton pirate ships behind, the adults may not let them go. After all, we have a lot of ships. It is better to send a general back and lead some ships behind to stop these harassing our rear fleet. Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the situation and wipe out all the skeleton pirates?" This guy is good at flattering, and his words are very tactful.

Muto lowered his head and thought for a while, looked back again, then stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the family general who advised him, and said: "Yo Xi! You are right, we can't ignore them, how about it, order To Otomo of Bungo Country, let him go to the back, and those ships and soldiers who are behind the organization will intercept the ships that harass the skeleton pirates behind us, and we must kill them all! Let's not be disturbed by them, continue to order us The fleet in front should speed up and chase the damned skeleton pirates in front!"

The backwardness and inconsistency of the communication methods in the Japanese fleet, coupled with the fact that the line of sight was completely blocked by the sails in their own fleet, made it impossible for them to see what happened behind them, which made Muto make a mistake again. He couldn't make a wrong decision. After he issued this order, he refocused his attention on the fleet of Wang Feng and Shuimao that was driving ahead, and he no longer cared about the alarm horns coming from behind.

After a while, Muto's order finally reached Otomo's resident ship, who was following Muto's ship to pursue Wang Feng and the Mizumao fleet. Otomo heard the alarm horns coming from behind, and shook his head helplessly and said: " Baga! It seems that we can't have a duel with the skeleton pirate fleet in front today, what a pity! They let me stay! I really don't know what this Muto thinks! Come on, slow down and turn around, we Go back!" Resident Otomo ordered very unwillingly, feeling that he would miss a good show this time.

His ship immediately sailed away from the convoy, turned its sails, and headed in the opposite direction of the large number of Japanese ships. After going retrograde for a while, he began to see the chaos in the fleet behind him, and he seemed to see it from a distance. A group of ships looked very wrong, so they raised their heads and shouted to the watchman on the mast: "Can you see clearly what happened to the fleet behind?"

The Japanese soldier climbing on the mast can be regarded as the guy with the best eyesight among them. He is looking vigorously towards the direction of the fleet at the moment. Gradually his face began to change, and gradually began to turn green. , Then he shouted to the following with his trembling voice: "Skeleton Pirates... a large number of skeleton pirate ships are attacking us... attacking the fleet behind us... ouch...!"

Residents of Otomo suddenly saw an astonishing scene. The guy who was answering the question suddenly lost his hand and fell off the mast. He fell heavily on the board of the ship, spit out a mouthful of blood, opened his mouth a few times, rolled his eyes, the white eyes immediately surpassed the area of ​​the black ones, and then he let out a cluck, took his breath away, and saw It's more air than air, I don't know if I can survive it!

Otomo's eyes were wide open, looking at the guy who fell from the mast, he was a little unresponsive, and asked the general beside him, "What did this guy just say? Why did he suddenly fall?"

The family general was also a little confused, and stammered: "This...he...he just now seemed to say that behind our fleet...a large, large fleet of skeleton pirates appeared behind! Then... ..."

The residents of Otomo looked at him in surprise and shouted: "How is this possible? Skeleton pirates are fleeing ahead, how could there be a large number of skeleton pirates behind us? Come on, speed up and see what happened !"

So his boat began to speed up a little, headed up against the wind, and rushed towards the rear of the Japanese fleet. When they got closer, Otomo finally saw what was happening behind him, the boss with his mouth open , There was no sound for a long time, and the soldiers on his ship, like him, also opened their mouths, and it was a long time before someone exclaimed: "My God! How come there are so many skeleton pirate ships! !"
