More than ten corpses were placed on a deck, and the blood had already flowed out, and the wounds were soaked in sea water. Zhou Li squatted in front of the row of corpses, frowned slightly.

As footsteps sounded, Qin Feng and Mahou walked down from the upper deck.

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Li stood up, clasped his fists and bowed.

"What are the clues?" Qin Feng did not talk nonsense. Like Xian Zhou Li, he also squatted there and looked at the corpses.

Squatting beside Qin Feng, Zhou Li fiddled with the body with his hands, "Judged based on the wound and the appearance of the dead bodies, they had been dead for about half a day."

"That is, the other party is half a day away." He looked up at the sky, "We will probably meet them in the evening."

"Your Majesty, we are now the old nest of the pirates who are directly involved in Huludao. It is the largest gang of pirates in this area. If they really do it, then we don't have to meet them until the evening." Zhou Li's brows were still unrestrained.

"What are you worried about?" Qin Feng said.

"Your Majesty, I just can't figure out why these pirates attacked the Ning fleet?" Zhou Li reached out and pointed two of the bodies, "These two are people in the Ning fleet."

"How did you recognize it?"

"I used to be their guard leader. I know these two people, very good little leaders. I didn't expect to die here." Zhou Li frowned.

"Isn't it natural for them to smuggle goods and pirates rob them?" Mahou asked on the side in confusion.

Zhou Li looked up at Mahou and explained: "General Ma, you don't know that Ning's family is indeed mainly smuggling a large amount of goods, but if the time is right, they can transform into pirates, black and black. Ning's fleet is large, and pirates in this area generally dare not touch their butts. And those pirates can't beat them. This time, I'm afraid that things are not that simple."

"You mean, this time these pirates dared to attack the Ning fleet, because they gathered enough strength to think they could challenge the Ning fleet." Qin Feng understood Zhou Li's meaning.

"The Ning family fleet goes to sea twice a year, but this time it is even larger. When will it be, this time in winter, it usually dispatches ten merchant ships, plus five warships guarding it. However, the merchant ships carrying cargoes also have combat capabilities. Each merchant ship is equipped with crossbows and stone cannons, and each sailor is equipped with weapons. In this scale, no one dares to cause trouble for them in this area. Over the years, the pirates who dare to cause trouble for them have been defeated. If there is one more thing, it can only be the Zhou family of Bozhou, but these two families have always been in the water of wells and water."

"Fifteen ships were dispatched at one time, and one Ning family was even wider than our Ming Dynasty!" Qin Feng touched his cheeks and hissed.

Zhou Li smiled and said, "The Ning family has been operating for hundreds of years and is focused on the sea. This strength is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people. I have been to the Ning family's base camp, which is on an island far away from the mainland. Your Majesty, that is the foundation of the Ning family. The shipyard above is not smaller than our Taiping Shipyard!"

"Where do you have the chance to see it!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty wants to make an idea about him? That is the Ning family's base camp and an independent kingdom. I'm afraid we can't chew it now. And we have to worry about the interference of Zhou's family in Bozhou, Qi State." Zhou Li said.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold?" Qin Feng asked back.

"Of course, the relationship between Ning and Zhou clans is very complicated, they both kill each other and go on blind dates."

"Interesting." Qin Feng nodded: "What are you going to do about this matter now?"

"Go up and take a look first!" Zhou Li said: "Even if they can't beat them, they can't catch up with us. If we have the chance, we might make a big splash."

"What size can we start a war with our opponent?"

"The merchant ships are not counted for five to six warships that can devote all their efforts to combat. Their speed, size, and equipment cannot compete with us. As long as we kill our opponent's warships, the merchant ships will only become our prey in this sea." Zhou Li said affirmatively.

"Who do you think they both will win?"

"The last general is optimistic about the pirates. Since these pirates dare to take action, they must have absolute confidence in themselves and must have gathered enough warships. So what we encountered was pirates. I just don't know how many warships they still have after they fought with Ning?"

The two looked at each other and laughed. The best result was of course that the two families were both defeated and let them get a bargain. If one side wins and the other side loses, then with the size of the opponent, they will definitely not be able to win.

"Then let's do it! The Ning's fleet goes to sea, and the goods must be abundant. If they can be cleaned up this time, they will make a big deal." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Zhou Li was also full of confidence. In addition to having enough confidence in the performance of the two warships, there were also two big killing weapons on the ship! Two great masters!

The master is not a cabbage, how many can you see everywhere? According to what Zhou Li knows, even the largest pirate in Huludao is the leader of his leader, who is just a level nine master.

Of course, a level nine master is enough to rampant in this sea area.

The Taiping and Changyang were no longer standing in front and behind, but were side by side at a certain distance. The sailors on the ship were no longer as relaxed as before and were all solemn. After all, what they might have ushered in would be the first water battle in their lives. Huo Guang no longer continued fishing, but sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship, excitedly looking forward to the encounter with the enemy.

The warship continued to advance, and more and more dead bodies floated on the water. In addition to the combatants, there were even women's corpses.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Ning fleet was defeated." Several obviously different bodies were caught, and even the Mahou saw the problem.

Qin Feng nodded clearly. Even the woman was killed, which only shows one thing: the warships in the Ning fleet had lost their protection of merchant ships, allowing the pirates to directly attack the core of the fleet.

After the warship had been walking for about half an hour, a large number of corpses floated over the sea again. After picking up a few more, Qin Feng shook his head and the Ning fleet failed completely. Because the corpses floated in this time were no longer killed in battle, but were actually killed by the throat being cut.

Zhou Li's face looked a little ugly. After all, he had been with the Ning fleet for many years before, and there were a lot of acquaintances in the fleet. "The Ning fleet was careless this time. After this heavy blow, they could not recover without several years of hard work."

"Do pirates often kill like this?" Qin Feng asked.

"It's rare. Because people are also a wealth above the sea and can be sold for money. For example, if we defeated pirates and captured prisoners, we will take them to the destination to sell them. Women and warriors are very valuable." Zhou Li said: "It seems that pirates must have suffered heavy losses this time, so they are so angry that they kill and vent their anger."

"It seems that the Ning fleet's combat effectiveness is still good!" Qin Feng said. "They caused heavy losses to the pirates, which is a good thing for us."

"It's almost done, Your Majesty!" Zhou Li pointed to the wound on the dead body, "It's close to us."

"Then prepare for the battle, Zhou Li, you are the commander-in-chief of this battle. Huo Guang and I will be the thug for you." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you for your trust!" Zhou Li bowed to the local area, stood up, walked towards the bridge, and shouted as he walked: "Leave all the dead bodies off the boat, half a liter of the deputy sail, everyone takes their place."

The ship immediately became busy, and the combat sailors stood solemnly, while the sailors responsible for manipulating the ships no longer had the relaxed laughter she had before and began to get busy.

"Your Majesty, aren't these people old friends from Zhou Li? Why should they be left behind?" Ma Hou asked quietly.

"There is nothing wrong with those who make a living at sea when they die?" Qin Feng said: "Little monkey, prepare for the battle!"

"Yes, your Majesty."

In another half an hour, dense black dots suddenly appeared at the intersection of the sea and the sky. In the Diao Dou above the main mast, the lookout whistle sounded the enemy's attack.

"Hang the flag!" Zhou Li roared sharply.

A flag was quickly hung onto the mainmast, with blue ocean at the bottom. Among the burning black flames, two battle knives were crossed under a white skull. This battle flag was similar to the flag of the Fire Death Camp, except that the flame on the Fire Death Camp was golden.

The two warships began to accelerate slowly and faced the warships opposite.

Zuli, the pirate leader of Huludao, was very happy today. For this looting, he planned for almost a year before convinced the leaders of several pirates to form a joint fleet. The entire fleet had twelve warships and the entire fleet had more than two thousand people, with the purpose of robbing the Ning fleet.

After the winter begins, the Ning fleet will have a large-scale business trip, because this season, there are the fewest storms. No pirate can compete with them alone in this sea area, but if they can unite, they can definitely compete with each other.

The rich cargo of the Ning family fleet is the key to attracting all pirates. Usually, there are not many fleets of merchants in this sea area. However, small pirates cannot afford to provoke large fleets like the Ning family and Zhou family, but their wealth is really attractive. Therefore, under the call of Zuli, everyone hit it off.
