Chapter 111     Sailing Battle (Part 1)

Silver Eagles do not need to be hatched. They just need to be placed in a place that is not too cold and can get the sun every day. According to Assad, the four silver Eagles given to Tan Weishi can be hatched within ten days. As for how to raise silver Eagles, after explaining for a long time but not understanding it, Assad simply gave one of his followers to Tan Weishi. The four Afghan hounds became Tan Weishi's treasures. The beagles, who were born more than a month ago, were full of vitality, and even on the swaying deck of the ship, did not change at all. They were wandering around Tan Weishi and seemed very enthusiastic about the new owner. Although Assad, who was busy with various things all day long, he liked to raise hunting dogs, he did not have much time to establish an intimate relationship with them. Therefore, the little guys were soon conquered by Tan Weishi.

When the two Lanshui ships shot six "Mars bombs" at the pirate fleet on Ice Shark Island, Tan Weishi was holding the beagle and looking curiously on the deck. The beagle looked a little bored in Tan Weishi's arms, and was vigorously pulling Tan Weishi's sleeves with her weak teeth, occasionally biting Tan Weishi's hand. The beagle couldn't make Tan Weishi feel pain, at most itchy. Tan Weishi would pat the little guy's head lovingly to respond to the beagle's curiosity.

"Ye Tao...brother-in-law... why didn't you say that the sea battle is so unfunny? I wouldn't have come if I had known it." Tan Weishi said with a disgust to Ye Tao, who was standing aside and looking at the battle with a telescope.

"Dare you dare to say that I haven't said it?" Ye Tao said helplessly with his lips.

The naval battle is indeed a bit boring. The main attack of a Cang Watercraft and two Lan Watercraft is a bit extravagant for the pirates with only a dozen small boats on Ice Shark Island. Not far away, the two Lan Watercraft are still eyeing each other.

Even the two armed merchant ships brought by Assad excitedly joined the Qihai Trading Company after learning about the attack on pirates on Crescent Island. The combined fleet of Yicheng Navy was now pulling sails and rushed from the back of the pirate fleet. Persian-style armed merchant ships have narrow hulls, curved bows and sharp underwater collision angles, which are more suitable for collision and jumping gang battles than the Lanshui and Cangshui ships. The elite Persian warriors on Assad's ship are easily caught in the battle of a battle of victories. These people are very enthusiastic about being able to participate in a naval battle in the victories to stretch their bodies.

With such a lineup, Ye Tao has long reminded Tan Weishi and Tan Weiran that combat must be boring. Tan Weiran is currently on the Lanshui ship that is mainly attacking, watching the naval battle at close range and experiencing the atmosphere of the battle personally. The pirate fleet lacks long-range strike methods, and the twelve inner court guards are enough to ensure safety in any situation. Tan Weishi and Ye Tao are watching the entire battle situation on the Cangshui ship in the distance. Ye Tao also needs to evaluate the power of those "Martian bombs", but for Tan Weishi, it is completely watching the show. She can see fireballs flying out on the Lanshui ship, smashing on the pirate ship or falling into the sea. At such a distance, she doesn't have to see clearly that the naval battle is actually very bloody. The screams of those pirates covered in fire cannot be heard here.

"Okay, it's not right for me." Tan Weishi pouted, and the little unpleasantness was quickly licked by the wet tongue of the beagle in her arms. "If I had known, I would have gone to the boat with my second brother. At least it was closer. I could see it clearly."

"Stop messing around, okay? If you really get on that boat, I will be in trouble if I return to Danyang." Ye Tao said with a wry smile.

The power of the Mars bomb made him very satisfied, and also surprised the officers and soldiers of the Dongping Navy on the Cangshui ship. After hearing the excellent safety of the Mars bomb, many people expressed that they wanted Min Yue to consider switching to the Mars bomb. The accuracy, rate of fire and range of the crossbows also made them ask Ye Tao quietly if they could make some for them to play with. This time they brought a total of twenty crossbows. Each of the four Lanshui ships was equipped with three gates, and each of the two Cangshui ships was equipped with four gates. There is no chance to fire yet, which made the officers and soldiers of the Cangshui ship they were in very depressed. It was really boring.

"Your Highness Princess, Mr. Ye. Please go back to the cabin."

The sergeant standing in the flag bucket at the top of the mast found a fleet of twelve to sixteen ships in the distance. Judging from the arrangement of sails and the speed of the ship, it was obviously warships. While signaling to his companions in the battle situation, the captain of the Cangshui ship asked Tan Weishi and Ye Tao to enter the cabin for a while to avoid any problems. He could not afford it.

"Four flying fish ships, six silver fish ships, two whale ships... are hung with the Black Hawk flag." The lookout soldiers in the flag bucket shouted loudly, "It's the Black Hawk Gang. Get ready to fight!"

"Captain, the Lanshui ship where Mr. Qi is here has lowered its command flag... Look?" a sergeant on the deck asked hesitantly.

He looked at the reluctant Tan Weishi pushing the closed bridge, but hurried to the bottom cabin Ye Tao. The captain smiled bitterly. The bottom cabin contained a bunch of things that Ye Tao had to carry, including his weapons and armor. Ye Tao obviously would not be able to watch. Now Ye Tao has a department in the Ministry of War, or Ye Tao, who is still a military officer in the two armies to check the official clerk of the government, has the highest military rank on the entire battlefield.

Mr. Qi really doesn't make people feel at ease. At this time, he still wanted to make Ye Tao famous. "Rise the command flag!" the captain shouted.

As soon as the scarlet command flag was raised, the captain named Ou Zhen soon discovered that the Black Hawks' fleet had obviously slowed down.

"Old man is playing tricks on me!" Ou Zhen immediately understood. It turned out that Qi Zhentao lowered the command flag not because he wanted to make Ye Tao famous, but because he wanted the Yicheng Navy to hold the tank.

The Black Hawk Gang's sphere of influence ranges from Chunnan, Dongping to Beiliao, spreading almost the entire coastline. It is the largest pirate group in any case. Usually, the Black Hawk Gang robs some small and medium-sized maritime merchants with no background. They usually don't touch those maritime merchants and maritime merchants with strong power and official friends. Even after the robbery, they will hand over the ship and cargo, and then repay the land. The robbery party will pay some "ransom" at the discretion. The Black Hawk Gang wants to say that wealth is not much rich, but it is impossible to be poor. Occasionally, they will do some targeted things for some "partners" with good relationships. Compared with the maritime merchants and navy in Dongping, the Black Hawk Gang and the maritime merchants in Chunnan are closer and closer. They even have the seaside.

The relationship between the Northern Liao, which is relatively weak, is better than that of Dongping. From the south of Chun, the Black Hawk Gang can gain a considerable share of filial piety from the trade of maritime merchants. For the Northern Liao, which cannot break through the sea blockade of Dongping, they can only purchase some special goods through the Black Hawk Gang. In Dongping, maritime trade is indeed gradually chasing Chunnan, but Dongping, which has a strong military tradition, is so tough that he will fight to destroy pirates when he was so weak that he was even not enough to protect his coastline. When he was sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, he created a series of excellent ship types such as the Cangshui ship, Lanshui ship, and equipped a large number of divine arm bows, stone casting cars and sulphur bombs, and trained powerful navy officers and soldiers. After completely fighting a turnaround, he never gave the pirates led by the Black Hawk Gang any good face.

In recent years, the Black Hawk Gang has always adopted the strategy of "can't you afford to mess with others or hide?" to the naval forces stationed on several ports along the coast of Dongping. Wherever there is a Dongping Naval Army, the Black Hawk Gang will definitely retreat. The three types of warships used by the Black Hawk Gang's fleets are also replaced by the pirated Lanshui Ship and Cangshui Ship made according to the drawings provided by Dongping in recent years. They were first bought by the sea merchants with a good relationship with the Chunnan Naval Army, and then sold them to the Black Hawk Gang. It was precisely because of the favor of the Chunnan Sea Merchant that when they learned that the Qihai Merchant was going to attack the Ice Shark Island, the Black Hawk Gang dispatched such an absolutely elite fleet to rescue the Ice Shark Island, and tried every means to suppress the Qihai Merchant.

However, the huge Cangshui ship raised the command flag and blocked the Black Hawk Gang and the battle group outside the Ice Shark Island, which forced the Black Hawk Gang to consider it. Indeed, the Black Hawk Gang and several naval divisions in Dongping had fought, which was considered a victory or defeat. But the Black Hawk Gang also understood very well that it would be extremely troublesome to get involved in Dongping's naval division for no reason.

The one who led the Black Hawk Gang's fleet was Jiang Fangzhou, the Tiger Shark Lord, the current leader of the Black Hawk Gang. Jiang Fangzhou, who is in charge of all the combat power of the Black Hawk Gang, is the third person of the Black Hawk Gang. He was proud to lead the team to show off his power in front of the Qihai Trading Company, but unexpectedly he bumped into the Dongping Navy. His stack of "Niang Xipi" fully demonstrated his mentality at this moment.

"San Zheng, what's going on with this? Will you fight?" a gang member asked carefully.

"The fleet has dispersed, I'll go to negotiate. Damn, there are only a few broken ships on Ice Shark Island, how could it cause the Cangshui ship of the Dongping Navy?" Jiang Fangzhou said viciously.

"The third leader, not just the Cangshui Ship, look over there... the four Lanshui Ship are hanging from the flag of Qihai Trading Company. God knows what's going on. And there, those two ships don't look like Dongping." Another gang member kindly reminded.
