The Black Dragon was thinking about the future with his subordinates on the deck. Suddenly, he felt a sense of trepidation and his eyelids kept twitching. This kind of situation rarely happened to the Black Dragon. Every time it happened, it was when they encountered a disaster. This time, it was obvious that they might have encountered a big disaster. This made the Black Dragon very uneasy.
"Why do I suddenly feel uneasy? My eyelids are twitching. Is something big going to happen?"
The Black Dragon spoke out his inner worries.
"Great Emperor, we already have victory in our hands. What else can make you so worried?"
"The Great Emperor was angered by Black Tiger and the others. He should be fine after a while."
"I think we should be more careful. The Great Emperor usually doesn't feel uneasy for no reason. Maybe there really is an accident."
"Don't jinx it. We are well-prepared. What accident can there be? Even if there is an accident, we don't have to be afraid. We know very well how strong Black Tiger and the others are. With their strength, they can't defeat us."
A few of the Black Dragon's subordinates started to argue. They seemed to be quite confident in their own strength. They didn't feel that the other party's strength could pose a threat to them. They were sure to win.
"Great Emperor, ships, ships are coming."
"One, two, three, four. Why are there so many?"
"Are the ships we sent out just now coming back? This is too fast! "
"According to the time, they should still be on the island now."
"Yes! The movements on the island haven't stopped yet. Why are they coming back so quickly? "
"No, there are four more here. There are a total of eight ships. They are all fast ships like us."
"We only sent out a total of six ships. How come there are eight of them? Something's not right!"
"Could it be our ships? We captured their ships. It's normal for there to be two more ships."
"But we have already investigated. There are no fast ships at the port of Black Wolf Island. Where did they capture them from?"
"Something is wrong. These eight ships are divided into two groups. They are coming from two sides. They are going to surround us!"
"Great Emperor, these should be the ships of Black Tiger and the others. They only have eight ships in total. Now that all of them are coming, this must be planned! It seems that the situation has changed! "
"But the four of them added up to only five to six hundred brothers. Their strength is comparable to ours. How can they destroy us? Where did they get their confidence from?"
"Great Emperor, they have a lot of people. If we are really surrounded by them, we will be in danger. We should evacuate quickly! Let's go back before we are completely surrounded! Let's go back and defend the island. "
"If we leave, what will happen to our brothers on the island? They are still waiting for our rescue? If we leave, our brothers on the island will be in trouble. "
"Let's observe the situation first! Let's see what's going on with them. Where did they get the strength to surround us? "
Several of his confidants said nervously.
When Black Dragon saw the eight ships surrounding them, he suddenly felt that he had been deceived. He felt that this was a trap set by the other party. However, the other party was not strong. Even if there was a trap, it should not be able to do anything to him and his brothers. In a situation where they were evenly matched, he did not think that the other party had such good teeth that they could swallow them whole.
"Great Emperor, they are obviously going to surround us. If we don't leave now, we will really be surrounded. It's better to leave first. Even if we want to observe the situation, we can't be surrounded by them."
"Great Emperor, if we are really surrounded by eight ships, we will be doomed eternally. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to break out!"
A few of his confidants saw that they were surrounded by eight ships and immediately realized that something was wrong. They also felt that the situation wasn't right. With these ships surrounding them, it was obvious that they didn't come with good intentions. If it was his own fleet, he wouldn't have surrounded them. This is very unreasonable. "
The Black Dragon had already realized the seriousness of the problem. If they did not evacuate now, they would really be surrounded. There were not many brothers on the three ships. There were only about a hundred of them. The main force was on Black Wolf Island. If the other eight ships rushed over, and there were many of them, they would be at a disadvantage.
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
The Black Dragon desperately gave the order to retreat.
However, even if they immediately prepared to retreat, it was still unknown whether they could really successfully withdraw. After all, the other side's eight ships had already attacked from many directions and had already formed an encirclement. It was naturally not an easy thing to break through the encirclement, but it was better than sitting still and waiting for death.
Since they were going to evacuate, they naturally needed a direction to evacuate. The direction that the Black Dragon chose to evacuate was naturally his own lair. There were more than a hundred brothers in his lair. In addition to the hundred brothers on the three ships, there were more than two hundred people. With so many people as a foundation, the Black Dragon believed that he could defend Black Dragon Island. At least he would feel at ease. However, more than half of his brothers were still trapped on Black Wolf Island. If they really left, they would be somewhat unwilling. Or rather, they could not bear such a huge loss. But they still evacuated in the direction of Black Dragon Island.
"Big Brother Black Dragon, where are you going?"
Black Tiger personally boarded an armed clipper ship to intercept them. Seeing that the Black Dragon's three ships reacted quickly and seemed to be preparing to escape, he immediately spoke up to stop them. He wanted to use words to delay the Black Dragon so that his own fleet could better form an encirclement.
When the Black Dragon heard Black Tiger's voice, he was instantly filled with anger. He roared, "Black Tiger, I've treated you well. Why are you rebelling against me?"
Black Tiger smiled and replied, "It was obviously Big Brother Black Dragon who launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night. How can you say that we're rebelling against you?"
"Hmph, if I didn't find out that you were plotting something, why would I come? I should have killed all of you back then."
Black Dragon roared angrily.
Black Tiger smiled and said, "What's the point of saying all this now? Big Brother Black Dragon's main force has already fallen into an ambush on Black Wolf Island. I'm afraid that they will all be wiped out. Even Big Brother Black Dragon himself won't be able to escape. Haha!"
"Surround? You want to swallow three hundred of my brothers in one gulp with just your few men? Aren't you daydreaming? "
Black Dragon roared angrily.
"Haha! Big Brother Black Dragon thought that we only had a few hundred men. Our brothers already have over a thousand men, twice as many as you. There are six to seven hundred of our brothers on the island. Trapping three hundred men won't be a difficult task. Big Brother Black Dragon, it's better for you to know your place. Surrender early and save your life. How about it? Hurry up and surrender! "
Black Tiger shouted loudly.
"Over a thousand men? How can you have so many men? This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible. I don't believe it."
Black Dragon said in horror.
"Great Emperor, maybe what he said is true. If they didn't hide half of their men, and if they didn't have over a thousand men, how could they surround us? It seems that they have hidden very well!"
"Great Emperor, we have been fooled. All of this was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end. It seems that they have been secretly planning this for many years."
"Great Emperor, what should we do now? If they really have over a thousand men, we won't be able to defend Black Dragon Island even if we go back. Sooner or later, they will attack the island. Even if they don't attack the island, they will trap us to death."
"It seems that we can't stay on Black Dragon Island any longer. If their strength has really developed to such a level, we can only choose to leave."
"Nonsense, we have so many arrow towers on the island and so much stored food. How can we give up just like that? If we really leave here, we won't have a foothold in other places. "
"Don't talk about the future. Let's think about how to get through this crisis! We're surrounded right now, you know? If we can't break out, we won't have a future. "
"Can we only choose to surrender? Do we still have the strength to fight? "
A few of his confidants said.
The Black Dragon frowned and fell into deep thought. He didn't really want to surrender. He couldn't stand the humiliation. But if he didn't surrender, whether he could live or not was a problem. This made him hesitate.
"Great Emperor, they said that they want to slay the dragon. If we surrender, I'm afraid that we will only die. It's better to open a bloody path and return to the island first. Then, we will think of a way."
A confidant said.
The Black Dragon was stunned. When he heard the words' slay the dragon ', he panicked. He didn't want to die. But the other party had made it clear that they wanted to slay the dragon. How could he not be afraid?
Since the other party wanted to slay the dragon, the Black Dragon naturally couldn't stretch out his neck to be killed. He had to resist so that he could live.
"Charge out, open a bloody path. Let's go back."
The Black Dragon gave the order.
Under the Black Dragon's order, the three pirate ships attacked forward while fleeing quickly. They wanted to escape back to the Black Dragon Island first. After the two sides got closer, the Black Dragon and the others also saw that the other party not only had more ships, but also more people. There were at least three to four hundred people on eight ships, about three times their number. If they didn't escape as soon as possible, they wouldn't be able to escape. They didn't want to die here.
Since the Black Dragon's three pirate ships had launched an attack, the Tang dynasty's soldiers naturally didn't have to be polite to them. They immediately launched a counterattack and chased after them at a faster speed.
Although the ships were of the same model, the more people there were, the more strength they could use to paddle. Even if the pirate ships were full, paddling was very tiring. If no one replaced them, it wouldn't take long for the efficiency of the paddling to be greatly reduced. However, the Tang dynasty's soldiers had more manpower, so they could take turns to paddle, which could keep the paddling efficiency at the highest level all the time and not affect the speed of the ships.
The three pirate ships were not full. Except for most of the people who needed to paddle, there were not many pirates who could operate weapons. Therefore, the pirate ships' attack power was not enough. On the other hand, the eight ships controlled by the Tang dynasty's soldiers had much stronger attack power. Soon, the pirate ships suffered a lot of casualties, making it more difficult for the pirates, who were already lacking in attack power.
"Charge, we must charge out and return to Black Dragon Island as soon as possible."
The Black Dragon's confidant shouted in the cabin.
Black Tiger looked at the Black Dragon's three ships that were about to rush out. He looked at the Tang dynasty's captain behind him and said, "They found us too early. It seems that they are about to rush out. If we don't attack with fire, they may really escape."
The Tang dynasty's captain said, "Well, it's time to use fire. Send the signal and let the ships attack with fire."
Soon, the eight ships controlled by the Tang dynasty's soldiers began to fire arrows. Soon, parts of the three pirate ships were set ablaze. However, the pirates did not care about this and still rushed forward. They successfully tore open a gap and fled in the direction of Black Dragon Island. When the Tang dynasty's soldiers on the eight ships saw that the pirates were not trapped and had escaped, they immediately chased after them.
Ang Lee, who was standing on the high ground of Black Wolf Island in the distance, naturally saw this situation. Seeing that the pirate ships had escaped, Ang Lee was slightly surprised. However, even if they escaped, it was useless. They would be caught again soon. Moreover, the three pirate ships that escaped were more or less set ablaze. If the pirates could not put out the fire in time, the three ships would be burned to ashes when the fire burned bigger.
"The last three pirate ships actually broke through the encirclement. It really surprised me."
Chen Long put down his binoculars and said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "They are retreating in the direction of Black Dragon Island. They must not know that Black Dragon Island is about to be taken by our soldiers at this time. Haha!"
Although there were more than a hundred pirates guarding Black Dragon Island, the Tang dynasty's soldiers had an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, it was a sneak attack at night. As long as they were well prepared, they could take down Black Dragon Island with the least loss. It would not be difficult to even have no casualties.
At this time, in the direction of Black Dragon Island, the soldiers from the three islands had gathered. They gathered together and were discussing how to attack Black Dragon Island. In view of the fact that there were still more than a hundred pirates guarding Black Dragon Island and most of these pirates were in a state of readiness for war, they must be careful when attacking and must not be careless.
"The only direction of attack for the main force is the port. Only the port can allow the soldiers to go ashore smoothly and quickly. Other positions are not possible. However, the port is also the focus of the pirates' defense. If we attack by force, we will probably suffer a lot of losses. We must find a way to transfer the pirates away from the port so that we can smoothly and quickly take over the port."
"This is not difficult. First, send two small troops to go ashore in other directions, and then directly attack the important positions of the island. The pirates at the port know about this situation, for example, they will transfer some troops to reinforce them. As long as the pirates move, our main force can directly attack the port. As long as our main force is stationed on Black Dragon Island, the hundred or so pirates will not be a problem."
"The two small troops should not have too many people. Forty to fifty people each will be enough. They will each take a ship and go ashore from another place. Our main force will wait near the port. As long as some of the pirates at the port evacuate, we will forcibly attack and take over the port."
Several Tang dynasty soldiers gathered together to discuss countermeasures to attack Black Dragon Island.
