Become the city lord from today

"snap......"

The waves are constantly beating against the pier in Haiyan City. With the soft sunshine, the pier actually takes on a different feeling.

The blue water sparkled under the sunlight, and the soldiers standing guard at the dock were all covered with a faint layer of light, their eyes staring forward intently.

The same goes for a ship docked at the pier. Its surface is covered with a layer of light golden light. They have been docked here for several days.

For no other reason than the threat from the Mabel Pirates, merchant ships coming to Haiyan City from other places were forced to stay here and were unable to go to sea for the time being, otherwise they would become the next target of the pirates.

At this time, there were ten ships sailing on the sea. They were the fleet headed by Niu Da. After receiving Liu Feng's order, they immediately gathered the fleet and set off to attack the pirates.

"snap......"

The sea surface that the ship passed by stirred up waves of water, which kept beating against the hull of the ship, making a dull sound.

Ten ships were sailing on the sea in a triangular pattern. Niu Da and others' ship was right behind the first ship, surrounded by other ships moving forward at a constant speed.

Niu Da was wearing armor and staring at the sea with strong eyes. There was a trace of vicissitudes on his face. He was a little tired from the wind and sun these days.

"Sir, please go in and take a rest first!"Hughes said with concern.

Niu Da waved his hand gently and asked,"It's okay. Are the people from the patrol team back?"

The ones who have been patrolling and leading the way in the past few days have always been the mermaid navy. After more than half a year of accumulation and outstanding military exploits, Hughes has grown from a little mermaid captain to the leader of the mermaid navy.

Hughes looked at Not far away from the sea, he said seriously,"Sir, according to the estimated time, they will be back soon. I believe they can bring news about the Mabel Pirates this time."

"Um. Niu Da said in a deep voice, taking the water handed over by the soldier and taking several gulps.

Niu Da asked people to bring stools and tables, and sat in front of the stools, taking advantage of his free time to start processing documents.

Now Haiyan City is accelerating. During the development period, a lot of infrastructure work, development, and education work must be carried out at all times. Niu Da is working hard to build the second Chang'an City for Liu Feng.

More than two hours later, the time came to noon, and Niu Da was eating lunch. Some grilled fish and tofu fish soup, plus some sea vegetables and shellfish, this is the daily food for the crew

"Tap tap tap......"

Aji hurriedly came to the cabin and saluted respectfully,"Sir, the information has come back."

Niu Da put down his chopsticks, turned around and said seriously,"Speak!"

"The patrol found the Mabel Pirates' fleet half a day away from us. Judging from the direction of travel, it was probably close to Nixi City in the Kingdom of Aden!"Reported by Ajihui

"How many ships do they have? What about the size of the boat? Niu Da asked, wanting to confirm the other party's specific situation.

Aji stood up and continued,"There are eight ships, half of which are thirty-meter ships, and the rest are twenty-meter ships."

Niu Da nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask,"Where are the number of people?" Did you see it clearly?"

"They couldn't see clearly. The sailors didn't dare to stick their heads near them. They could only listen to their voices under their boats. Judging from the noisy sound, their number was not small."Reported by Ajihui

"Got it, let's go down and rest first."Niu Da nodded thoughtfully.

Aji nodded, bowed and turned around to leave. He is now the captain leading the patrol navy.

Niu Da watched Aji leave the back and followed him out of the cabin. The war was about to break out. He had no intention of eating.

Hughes also received the news, stepped to the deck of the ship, and said seriously,"Sir, we will be approaching the Mabel Pirates soon."

Niu Da and others are riding steamships, and their traveling speed is faster than that of the Mabel Pirates. In addition, the other party has been burning, killing and looting at sea, so the time for Niu Da and others to catch up is even shorter.

"Well, tell me to go down and prepare for the battle!" Niu Da said in a deep voice.

It has been a while since we let the soldiers practice. We recruited a lot of new soldiers some time ago, and we also brought a lot with us when we went to sea this time. It was just enough for them to see what real war is like.

This time, there were not many veterans on the ship. The number of new recruits was one to three. Niu Da brought a thousand soldiers and 300 fish and water troops to sea this time.

"My lord, the sailors are ready. Except for the 20 people on patrol who are resting, the rest are in full formation."Hughes said solemnly.

"very good. Niu

Da nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Felton and ordered,"Let the soldiers be prepared. The inspection of the crossbow rockets and the number of arrows must be determined.""

"clear! Felton responded immediately

"The new recruits need to be guided by the veterans. They will inevitably be a little nervous when they go to the battlefield for the first time. Try to prevent them from making mistakes. Niu Da warned.

Felton nodded seriously and said,"Yes, sir." Niu

Da watched Felton leave, turned to Hughes and ordered,"You should also go down and prepare. Let them all change into light clothes, grab their spears and set off first. I want to have a pincer attack.""

"Sir, do you want us to go around to prevent them from escaping?"Hughes analyzed

"Well, they only have eight ships and their number should be small. Under the attack of the crossbow rockets, they will definitely be wiped out. But for the sake of safety, they still have to do this step, and don't want any fish to slip through the net. Niu Da said seriously.

When he fought against the Flanders Empire, as well as the Torola and Larson empires, he didn't take this into consideration and let the other side run away.

The latter was okay, and he made a lot of money for it. Small ransoms and merchants could bring benefits to the entire Han Dynasty. The former was very troublesome, which led them to the Yadian Kingdom.

Hughes nodded seriously and responded,"Understood, sir.""

"Wow!......"

More than three hours later, the ship of Ushida and others continued to move forward, and the ship of the Mabel Pirates could be vaguely seen.

Hughes personally put on a close-fitting diving suit and led a group of mermaid marines to jump into the water for some time. It would probably take more than half an hour to get around to the rear of the Mabel Pirates.

Felton pointed forward excitedly and shouted,"Sir, ahead."

Niu Da took the lookout glass, looked at a few black spots in the distance, and said in a deep voice,"Everyone, prepare, the naval battle will begin soon."

"yes! Felton shouted loudly, and the soldiers on the ship also responded.
