Chapter 557: Crashing And Sinking The Flagship
"They can even throw someone like you who is their officer in name overboard, how could they care about a group of pirates?"
"You must have been at the core of the Zheng Group for too long, thinking that you are still the Ming Navy?"
Lu Bu saw the gloomy meaning in Shi Lang's eyes, but he didn't try to persuade him, instead he said it sarcastically.
"Since this method can't be done on them, let's change to the simplest~ method!"
Lu Bu flicked lightly in the air a few times.
"Three fast boats pierced through from three directions at the same time, and directly sank the flagship of the opponent's fleet. At the same time, they used artillery to push back the surrounding escorting warships, and then captured the opponent's ship alive!"
When Lu Bu talked about his plan, it was an understatement.
But when these words were heard in Shi Lang's ears, it was completely different.
Shi Lang looked at Lu Bu in shock, with mixed feelings in his heart.
This prince, after all the calculations, why did he finally choose such... rude?
However, Shi Lang only thought for a moment in his mind before realizing that he was really a bit pedantic.
Under such circumstances, it is obvious that Lu Bu's method is the most effective!
It's simple and crude, but it's the most effective!
"Your Highness, what you said is very true!"
After Shi Lang was silent for a moment, he raised his hand and bowed, as a confession.
Lu Bu laughed.
"Since this is the case, let the flag soldiers start to pass the order and let the soldiers on the other two ships get ready!"
He turned his head and said to the left and right guards.
The two guards were about to go up to deliver the order when they were stopped by Shi Lang.
"Your Highness, Shi Lang has something to ask for!"
This fellow bowed his hands again, Tian Fen said sincerely.
Lu Bu was slightly taken aback, and signaled to the left and right guards not to move around, and then asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, can't you just say it?"
Shi Lang took a deep breath, and said with flickering eyes: "Shi Lang was originally a prisoner. Although His Highness has drained Shi Lang's energy, he treats each other with courtesy. This kind of courtesy is something Shi Lang has never encountered before!"
"Shi Lang's original intention was to take advantage of the navy in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince to catch Liu Xiang by surprise, make him lose his balance, and then return to the Zheng family, but at this time Shi Lang doesn't want to be a pirate anymore!"
"If His Highness does not give up, Shi Lang is willing to follow the example of dogs and horses, and be the vanguard of His Highness's unification of the Central Plains! Although Shi Lang's ability to lead troops on land may be unbearable, but on the water, Shi Lang will not be afraid even if he faces the Zheng family!"
After talking so much in a row, Shi Lang no longer restrained himself, and began to lose his determination like beans.
Just as Lu Bu was about to say something, Shi Lang interrupted him again.
"It's okay to have Lieutenant Shi Jin as the commander on the left ship, but there are only Dong Li and his son on the right ship. They are not good at water warfare, and they have no experience in commanding ships. If His Highness allows, I am willing to take command on the right ship." , cooperate with His Highness to complete this battle!"
Shi Lang threw out the fruit first, and then came to ask for orders, which made Lu Bu somewhat unexpected.
He raised his eyebrows, looked Shi Lang up and down, and suddenly realized that this guy was testing himself and Lu Bu.
After he gained the command and took the sole control of a ship, even if he turned back immediately, although Lu Bu could kill him in time, he could still sabotage the operation before then.
0…ask for flowers……
He clearly knew that Lu couldn't take this into account, yet he still took the initiative to ask to lead the army alone. It's not a bad move!
"Yes!"
Lu Bu didn't mind either, and with a big wave of his hand, he directly granted Shi Lang's request, and then said: "Dong Lilang and his son are extremely brave, we must arrange the two of them well when we meet, and we can't waste their tyrannical battle." force!"
Although Shi Lang expected that Lu Bu would not agree to his request, he did not expect it to be so easy. After a moment of stupefaction, he watched the guard pass the order to the semaphore soldiers.
Until Shi Lang arrived on another boat and opened up the distance again, Shi Lang himself was still a little dazed.
A few sailor soldiers who are always bold came up and asked with some doubts: "Your Highness, although this Shi Lang has a good reputation, it seems that he is not a quiet person. Why did you let him go to another ship?"
Lu Bu has always had a very good temper towards these old soldiers, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Dongli and his son are on that boat, if Shi Lang makes any changes, it is estimated that the two of them can smash him into a pulp with two hammers. , it is impossible for him to act recklessly!"
Only then did the soldiers come to their senses, laughed and scattered away.
I have to say that the patrol route chosen by the pirates was very shrewd, but the sea was calm and calm, but it was only a dozen nautical miles apart, and it seemed like two worlds.
After the wind subsided, Lu Bu and the others naturally slowed down a lot, from eight knots to four knots. .
