The green dot representing his warship was still rolling forward mightily, while the red dot representing the enemy on the virtual map no longer had the formation just now, and began to become scattered and mottled.

This is a pirate who wants to retreat.

But, how could it be so simple to let them run away...

Turning his ears sideways, he heard the sound of completely extinguished artillery on the sea, and a cold light flashed in Zhu Youchen's eyes.

"The whole army pressed forward and wiped out the pirates one by one in the strait."

"The battleship chased until the border of Luzon."

In an instant, this order was conveyed to the ears of every warship and every soldier.

Immediately, the sails of the original battleship swelled even more, and the dark battleship became even more murderous and painful.

But Zhu Youchen did not log out of the system, and then ordered in his mind:

"The warships in the port immediately dispatched [-] warships to escort [-] troop carriers and head to Sumatra to log in."

As soon as the words fell, the warships and transport ships that had been prepared for a long time in the port immediately set sail.

At this moment, the waters outside have been completely opened, and their travel is very convenient. The huge fleet left the port in a mighty manner, and headed towards Sumatra Island along the offshore coast.

After the order was finished, Zhu Youchen's eyes fell back to the battlefield in the northern sea area.

He didn't know how many pirates he could annihilate. The sea was no better than the road. If the enemy turned around and left, his ships really couldn't catch up.

In particular, after experiencing such a naval battle, the weight of each pirate ship has been reduced, and their speed will be faster.

"I hope Liu Xiang can be kept."

At this moment, Zhu Youchen has confirmed that this pirate fleet is Liu Xiang's fleet, and only Liu Xiang will summon such people to come south in such a short period of time.

just.

"I originally wanted to wait for July to take advantage of Liu Xiang's fight with Daming, but I didn't expect to bump into him here."

Zhu Youchen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he thought of a lot at this moment.

Liu Xiang was defeated by him, wouldn't there be no Liu Xiang chaos in Ming Dynasty?

After Liu Xiang experienced such a big defeat, the news must not be hidden. How will the Portuguese and Spaniards behind him respond?

How will Fengyun Shibazhi or Zheng Zhilong respond?

In an instant, Zhu Youchen smelled a wind and rain. Everyone was greedy for the interests of the sea, and it was even more related to his food harvest. He would never give it up to others.

It is certain that the two sides will meet each other.

However, his current strength is not enough to deal with Zheng Zhilong and the Portuguese and Spaniards.

In the face of huge interests, it is not uncommon for the three to join forces.

The most important thing is that from now on, he can't hide it completely. It is estimated that his name will be known by the whole of Asia soon.

"But, it doesn't matter." Zhu Youchen smiled confidently, looking at the gradually setting sun in the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes were like flames.

"At this moment, I have 25 mercenaries, thousands of warships under my command, and I have occupied Java."

"I am no longer the weak me when I first came here."

Expose it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen looked up at the undulating sea and sky in the distance, looked at the distant mountains and rivers, took a deep breath, then raised his hand to make a fist, and said in a sonorous tone:

"In this world, I, Zhu Youchu, are here."

"I have to do something about the emperor's position."

"What the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Emperor Qin, Hanwu, Emperor Tangzong, Songzu, Hongwu Taizu, and Emperor Yongle failed to do, I, Zhu Youchen, must do it one by one."

The sonorous words echoed, and Zhu Youchen's eyes showed an unprecedented firmness...

While Zhu Youchen was speaking, the battle on the sea directly reached its climax.

boom! boom! boom!

Countless warships smashed directly into the gunpowder smoke that filled the sea. The huge 30-meter warship, with its ramming horns raised one by one, rammed into the demoralized pirate fleet without hesitation like a galloping knight on land.

"Ah...they're coming! Run away...run away..."

"Surrender, surrender, let's surrender!!!"

"Let's go. Run away while others are in the way."

"Ah!!! Liu Xiang sent an order for a bloody battle, and Liu Xiang raised the banner of a bloody battle!!"

"Fight to the death!!!"

"Ah? How is it possible? Fuck you, it's all Liu Xiang's fault, I don't want to die, let's withdraw."

"Fleeing into Changsha thousands of miles away, there are hidden reefs inside, this is our only way of survival!"

All of a sudden, the entire pirate group became completely chaotic, fleeing and fighting, and the original formation began to collapse in an instant.

The morale of the pirates is like a rainbow when they are fighting against the wind, but facing the headwind at this moment, few people have the will to fight.

Even those who stayed and planned to die knew clearly that there was no hope of escape.

They are pirates, and when they are powerful, they can be looked up to by others, but once they lose, they are doomed to be beaten by others.

It's the same wherever you go.

But at this time, Zhu Youzhao's fleet, without hindrance, rushed up like a bamboo.

Countless warships maintained a tight formation, and the ramming angle at the head of the pass was raised high, like a knight launching a charge, leveling the lance in his hand, and was about to start harvesting lives.

It came with a menacing impact like mountains and seas.

Although there are no drums of war, nor any roar.

But the crashing waves still caused a roar in the minds of the chaotic pirates.

Boom! !

Boom! !

With incomparable momentum and weight, one after another warships rammed directly into them with their icy ram angles.

boom! boom! boom!

For a moment, the sound of collisions in the entire sea area came and went, completely overwhelmed the groans of the ship breaking apart.

There are even pirate ships that were directly smashed into two by the collision angle of the battleship with huge kinetic energy.

Bang! ! !

Broken wood was everywhere, and the pirates screamed and fell into the sea.

"kill!!!"

With a uniform roar, countless soldiers swarmed onto the pirate ships like ants.

Javelin lead the way.

The sword and shield slashed.

Spear pierces.

The ruthless killing began in an orderly manner.

Ignoring the pirates' begging for mercy or dying, they carried out Zhu Youchen's order wholeheartedly, leaving no one behind.

He doesn't need prisoners.

No need for slaves either.

Only killing.

Only conquest.

Immediately, the scene of hell on earth was staged in this narrow and long sea area. Beside the pirate ships fighting each other, warships one after another charged forward without stopping.

One pirate ship after another was rammed.

One by one the pirates were killed.

This kind of pursuit continued until the sunset, and then gradually fell silent.

Except for Zhu Youchen's battleship, there were silent pirate ships everywhere on the sea, and countless pirates screamed and struggled on the water with their planks in their arms.

But what greeted them was only a shower of arrows.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

There is no mercy, only killing.

Soon, there were corpses floating everywhere in the positive sea area, undulating with the waves, and their blood even stained the strait red.

The endless blood and blood attracted sharks with a radius of hundreds of miles to gather together, and the sea was suddenly undercurrent.

But a bigger storm on land is also brewing along with the news of Liu Xiang's defeat...

Chapter 74

Liu Xiang finally escaped.

In the end, he still didn't insist, and handed over his ship to a loyal subordinate, raised the bloody flag to confuse his sight, and then left the battlefield with his confidants.

At this moment, the night was heavy, and the entire fleet was docked at the edge of an island in Changsha, thousands of miles away.

"Crash!"

The waves washed over the beach, and the sea breeze brought a bit of coolness to the bones, so Liu Xiang couldn't help wrapping himself in a thick blanket, and the red bonfire shone on his face, which was cloudy and cloudy.

"Captain, don't think about it. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, not to mention that our brothers and the ship have saved most of them, and we still have strength in our hands."

Liu Xiang's third uncle stretched out his hand to warm the bonfire, and persuaded Liu Xiang.

In his opinion, fame is nothing, it is worthless compared to life, as long as there is strength in his hands, he can make a comeback at any time.

Compared with Prime Minister Cao and Uncle Liu Huang in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, their current situation is considered good.

Hearing this, Liu Xiang took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath, but the color of the dove in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Hunting geese all day long, I never thought that the eyes of the geese would be pecked."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xiang sneered, picked up the drink beside him and took a sip, his dark complexion gradually turned red.

Seeing this, the third uncle next to him was completely relieved, and he also said it was easy, two thousand battleships were gone, it was impossible not to feel sorry.

It's just that now they should focus more on the future. The addition of such a fierce dragon in Nanyang is a disaster or a blessing for them who live on the water.

Immediately, Uncle Liu asked, "What should we do next? Should we go back to Manila or go to Zheng Longshou?"

"Can't go back to Manila, at least not right away."

Liu Xiang directly refused when she heard the words, her brows were subconsciously frowned, and the hand holding the wine bag was tightened suddenly, the muscles on the back of the hand were all swollen.

If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to go back to either of these two places.

When he returns to Manila, he will face ridicule from the Portuguese and the Spaniards, and at the moment his strength has been greatly reduced. Going back will definitely make these two groups look down upon him, thereby reducing the profit at sea.

Pirates don't just fight and kill blindly. Fighting and killing is just a means, and more is to sit on the ground and collect tolls.

Fighting and killing will inevitably consume the strength of the elite, and the more you fight, the poorer you will be.

And sitting on the ground and collecting money can not only preserve the strength of one's own men, but also have extra money to recruit manpower, build warships, and expand strength.

Liu Xiang took the third route, acting as a comprador for the Portuguese and the Spaniards, communicating with the gentry along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Westerners came to Daming just to make a fortune, especially in the era of plundering during the great voyages, they were all wolves who ate people without spitting out their bones.

If you don't have enough strength in your hand, you will be swallowed by the opponent with bones and flesh.

It's not that there were no gentry in Ming Dynasty to join hands with these people, but the end result was that their families were ruined. Over time, the gentry of Ming Dynasty stopped such unequal business activities.

And it was in such an environment that the local pirate group headed by Zheng Zhilong was born. With the support of the local gentry from the same village, it gradually strengthened its power, and finally obtained the equal trading rights of the western armed merchant group.

However, this right is always based on the power in hand.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiang's eyes became more gloomy, and his pupils burned like fire: "Let's go directly to Zheng Zhilong, he has to take care of it."

Zheng Zhilong is backed by the strength of the Dutch, and Java is the territory of the Dutch, which directly affects Zheng Zhilong's interests.
