Views:

More than 20 sailboats of Chen's pirates rushed towards Dayan Navy's camp, like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and were instantly surrounded. When they found out that the Fanbang fleet behind them was not moving at all, they were so angry that they cursed It was too late, and Dayan's artillery was overwhelming, forcing them to fight desperately.

Liang Zhen was invited by the Fanbang people to board the main ship guarded by the stars and the moon, and met the officer that the Fanbang people talked about. This man was named Pu Lande, with a high nose and deep eyes, brown hair and blue eyes. He was a typical The appearance of the Fanbang people is also a high-ranking general among the Fanbang people in Java Island, and he is also a viscount of their country.

Liang Zhen glanced at the foreigners in front of him, one of them he had met before, he had gone to the capital to pay homage to Zhu Yunxuan as an envoy before, and wanted to make a deal with Dayan, but they sent him back with random excuses.

Pu Lande opened his mouth, speaking in a very fluent Dayan language with no accent: "This is His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan?"

Although it was Liang Zhen who asked the question, his eyes kept falling on that brother Ren, with an attitude of condescension and arrogance, as well as some disdain and contempt.

Brother Ren lowered his head even lower, pinching his palms with his fingers, trying to suppress the trembling of his body, fearing that he would be exposed to death without a place to bury him.

Before coming here, Liang Zhen had already reminded him that this was the only way he could take the blame and meritorious deeds. He previously leaked the whereabouts of Emperor Dayan because of his selfish desires. It would not be a pity to die a hundred times. His face was still useful, he was already dead. After boarding this boat, if something bad happened to him again, he would not die alone, and his brother would also have to be buried with him.

Liang Zhen twitched his lips: "Of course, he is Emperor Jingrui of Dayan."

Brother Ren hesitated and said: "I... I am... the emperor of Dayan, what do you want... what do you want to do, you let... let me go, I will give you everything."

The envoy who had been to Dayan once nodded at their chief officer, as if confirming that the person standing in front of him was indeed the emperor of Dayan. Liang Zhen was not worried that he would be betrayed. In the main hall, I just glanced at Zhu Yunxuan sitting on the throne from a distance.

Pu Lande looked at Brother Ren playfully, and said contemptuously: "If His Majesty the Emperor had treated us with sincerity earlier, we wouldn't be in the situation we are today, but now, it is up to you to decide. "

Brother Ren turned to Liang Zhen subconsciously for help, Liang Zhen ignored him, and just smiled and said to those foreigners: "This emperor is still useful now, I can assure you that in the future, the Ninth Prince will become a Dayan The emperor, your country is Dayan's most honorable ally."

The other party said happily: "You are very good, we like to make friends with a straightforward and sincere person like you."

"That's natural. I also appreciate a sincere and brave knight like Your Excellency."

The Fanbang people were flattered, and now that Emperor Dayan was in their hands, they felt that they had won the victory, and they were a little bit ecstatic, so they opened wine to celebrate on the spot.

Liang Zhen lowered his eyes and suppressed the contempt in his eyes.

The pirate fleet only lasted for half an hour, and was sunk by Dayan's navy for most of it, and the rest fled in all directions, completely becoming bereaved dogs.

When receiving the news, the Fanbang people on the boat were still indulging in pleasure, so Pland, who was drunk enough to drink, put down his glass forcefully, and said to Liang Zhen with a smile: "Actually, I have long since disliked those pirates, A group of rats who only know how to flatter and flatter us, and they don’t know how many shady tricks they have done in private, thinking that they have a ninth prince who can be the Emperor of Dayan, so they picked up Joe with us, a group of unfamiliar people White-eyed wolf, it is indeed a good idea to let them consume more troops of the Dayan Navy."

Liang Zhen took advantage of the opportunity to compliment him: "Your Excellency said that if you cooperate with such people, you will be bitten back sooner or later. Anyway, they are useless now, so let them fend for themselves."

The other party's cloudy eyeballs rolled around, and said again: "But I think it's almost the same now, so don't wait any longer, and take Emperor Dayan out."

Brother Ren turned pale in an instant, and Liang Zhen nodded with a smile: "But it's up to you to make the decision."

Brother Ren was escorted to the bow of the ship, and behind him was the muzzle aimed at him. The news was sent back to Dayan, and He Huailing immediately ordered to stop the attack. The conditions put forward by the Fanbang people were very clear. They asked the Dayan navy to surrender, and the soldiers on board jumped out of the ship immediately, leaving them with the empty ship. They would release the Emperor Dayan after Dayan signed the official surrender agreement.

These are all proposed by Liang Zhen and Prand, which can not only get hundreds of Dayan ships for nothing, but also force the Dayan people to agree to all the conditions they want. As for what happened when the Dayan people came to meet the emperor later What an accident, then don't do their business.

Dayan quickly sent people over and agreed to all their demands, only asking them to let the emperor back.

In the dark night, countless soldiers jumped into the turbulent sea one by one. Prand stood on the deck, holding up his binoculars and watching, extremely excited. As for whether these soldiers could swim back to the shore or whether they would drown in the sea, he didn't care at all, he just stared greedily at the hundreds of ships that were gradually emptied, his eyes blew out.

Half an hour later, the people they sent came back to report and confirmed that Dayan's boat was empty. Prand blushed excitedly: "Let's go! Let's sail the boat over now!"

The Fanbang people on the boat applauded each other excitedly, one after another the boats rushed towards Dayan's fleet.

Between the elbows and armpits, the thundering artillery sounded again, and one after another the shells landed on the Fanbang ships. The artillerymen who had been rejoicing a moment ago and even started to sit down and rested came back to their senses and climbed up in a panic. They stood up and hurriedly loaded shells to fight back. In this short moment, they had been sunk by the Dayan navy and sank three ships.

Puland was dumbfounded, and shouted angrily: "This is impossible! Why are there still people on Dayan's boat! Where did these people come from! Damn it! They really don't want their emperor anymore!"

Naturally, it was planned long ago and hidden in the dark cabin at the bottom of the ship. Liang Zhen sneered silently behind him, but he didn't intend to tell him.

At the same time, hundreds of ghostly fireboats burst out through the dense fog of the night, galloping towards the Fanbang ships at high speed under the cover of artillery.

The fire boat was small and brisk, and the wind direction changed in the second half of the night, so Yanjun's side had a tailwind, and the speed was even faster. The panic-stricken Fanbang people had to deal with the artillery fire of the Dayan ships, and also deal with these fire ships that they were not familiar with before. The opportunity for a surprise attack by the division.

Originally there were pirate fleets scattered around and could help them resist for a while, but unfortunately there are only less than ten ships left by the Chen family pirates, and they hate the move of being pushed out by the Fanbang people to be cannon fodder just now. I was unwilling to escape without taking advantage of Dayan Navy's negotiations with the Fanbang people. If I wanted to stay, I would get some benefits. Seeing that the situation was not right at the moment, let alone helping, I immediately turned the bow of the boat and prepared to escape. .

But how could Liang Zhen make them happy, the people he brought were waiting for this moment, more than 20 ships were lined up on the sea surface, completely blocking the pirates' escape route.

Soon, Dayan's fire boat approached the Fanbang people's big boat, and the soldiers on board were the ones who jumped off Dayan's ship first. They frantically threw out their iron hooks, hooked the stern of each other's ship, and set fire to the ship. Taking advantage of the wind, the fire quickly spread up, and the flames soared into the sky, quickly engulfing every ship of the other party.

At this moment, the Fanbang people on the boat finally panicked completely.

Prand cursed loudly, and the flames all around reflected the ferocity and panic on his face. The main ship they were on was in the center of the fleet, and it was one of the few that hadn't been hit by the fire ship, but it couldn't turn around at all. .

Some people were already in a panic and wanted to abandon the ship and jump into the sea. Prand killed a soldier who wanted to jump into the sea and escape with a sword, and waved his arms and shouted wildly: "Come back! Fire! Keep firing!"

There was chaos on the boat, shouts and scolding everywhere, the shivering brother Ren became more courageous at this moment, took advantage of the chaos to push away the foreigners who were escorting him, rushed out and jumped into the sea .

Someone yelled "Emperor Dayan has run away", and Prand almost went mad with anger. He turned around abruptly, pointing the tip of his sword at Liang Zhen, who was also looking for an opportunity to jump into the sea and escape, and his teeth were clenched. : "It's you! You lied to us! You liar! You colluded with Dayan Army! I'm going to kill you!"

Liang Zhen said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

He turned around to avoid the fierce stabbing sword from the opponent, snatched the weapon from a soldier beside him in the confusion, and began to fight with Prand.

Until a shell hit the ship's mast, a huge flame suddenly exploded, the hull began to shake violently in the waves, and then it tilted violently to one side, the second shell exploded, hitting the hull, and the fire spread rapidly Spread, and soon the entire ship was completely enveloped in flames.

Before falling into the icy sea water, only Zhu Yunxuan's gentle smiling face was left in Liang Zhen's mind.

On the high platform, Zhu Yunxuan has not left, and has been paying attention to the battle situation at sea. Since Dayan's fire boat appeared to surprise the enemy, the vast sea is full of flames soaring to the sky. He knew which ship Liang Zhen had boarded, and he kept looking at that direction with his binoculars up, his face expressionless, but the tight lip lines revealed the anxiety and worry hidden in his heart.

The pirates who wanted to escape in a hurry were blocked by the people brought by Liang Zhen. There was no way to escape. The Fanbang people were completely red-eyed, and wanted to drag them to the end. The remaining shells were fed one by one to the Fanbang ships, which were already at the end of their strength.

Seeing that the ship Liang Zhen was on was hit by shells and caught fire and sank, at that moment, Zhu Yunxuan's heart suddenly rose in his throat, the telescope in his hand fell to the ground, he turned around and rushed down the high platform.
