Chapter 1116

Zhang Tuohai carefully read the chart several times and memorized the detailed information on it, so that even if it was taken away or damaged, he could still go to the place he wanted to go with his memory.

After memorizing the information on the chart, Zhang Tuohai began to plan his itinerary.

I seized the chart and alarmed the Targaryen family. They found out that they must send people to hunt them down. If they follow the route on the chart, they will definitely be chased by the other party's fast boat. , which is not good for yourself.

Therefore, he has to choose a route that makes the other party unexpected.

"If I were a member of the Targaryen family and found out that the chart had been stolen, I would feel that the thief would definitely choose the fastest route to escape from the Targaryen family's sphere of influence. Then the fastest route would be...here!"

Zhang Tuohai's finger landed on a route.

This route is straight, avoiding most of the supply points and docking islands, and goes straight to Hongshi Island at the junction of the Xia Yahai and this sea (Thunder Sea).

You can enter the Chara Sea by crossing the Red Rock Island.

If he was a member of the Targaryen family, he would definitely send a team of clippers to arrive at Redstone Island first, guard the only way, and then wait for the rabbit.

After analyzing the thinking of the Targaryen family, Zhang Tuohai began to design his own route.

The Targaryen family felt that they would flee quickly, so they wanted to do the opposite. They had to choose the farthest route and choose to sail along the coastline. This would not only replenish resources along the way, recruit manpower, but also attack those newly established territories. Players can weaken the world's power to encircle and suppress themselves, and win both birds with one stone.

The Targaryens are willing to wait on Redstone Isle, so let them wait.

After waiting for a long time without seeing him, he must be worried that he has entered Xia Yahai ahead of time, and then he will send a squadron to Xia Yahai to pursue him.

At that time, when he arrived suddenly, he would naturally be able to deal with the divided Targaryen family. He leisurely passed Redstone Island and headed for Xia Yahai.

After planning on the chart for a while, Zhang Tuohai finalized the plan.

The rudder turned sharply to starboard, and the boat headed for the shoreline.

Half an hour after Zhang Tuohai turned around, a group of flying shear boats passed through the place Zhang Tuohai passed by and sailed forward rapidly. The hulls of these clipper ships are low and slender, with 6 sails hanging on them, and they do not use the triangle sails that are common in this era, but huge horizontal sails.

This kind of ship is fast, but the load is relatively low, suitable for transporting light but more expensive things.

The flags of House Targaryen were flying on these ships, and they were galloping towards Redstone Isle.

Zhang Tuohai didn't know that the Targaryen family had sent a fleet chasing him so soon. At this moment, he was staring at the coastline with a brass telescope.

The outline of a village appeared on the coastline in the distance, but there was a faint fire in the village.

"A trap to lie to me again?"

Zhang Tuohai guessed instinctively, but he immediately vetoed the guess.

It's impossible for everyone to be like that stupid son of the Targaryen family who pretended that the ship was on fire just to deceive himself.

That is to say, he has a kind heart and will go to fight the fire. What would those pirates do?

Besides, that stupid son still knows how to use wolf smoke. This thing has a large black smoke and a long range. How much fuel does it cost to light a bonfire on the shore?

But?

Zhang Tuohai guessed that there must be something wrong with the village on the shore.

"Go over and have a look." Zhang Tuohai drove the boat towards the shore.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and Zhang Tuohai finally saw the situation in the village clearly through the binoculars.

It turned out that a group of horse bandits rushed into the village. These horse bandits were galloping through the village on horseback. Each of them held a machete and spear in their hands, and their weapons were stained with blood.

A few brutal ones even cut off the heads of the villagers and hung them around the necks of the horses, showing their bravery.

A horse bandit even chased a little boy with a horse, and then stabbed the little boy in the back with a sharp spear, picked him up in the air, and laughed loudly while shaking the spear.

They were not looting for property at all, they were simply enjoying the thrill of killing.

"Chief officer, prepare for bombardment!" Zhang Tuohai put away the binoculars and said.

"Yes!"

The first mate delivered the order immediately.

More than a dozen sailors entered the gun position, stuffed the propellant into the gun barrel, loaded the grape shells in, and then adjusted the skids to calibrate the shooting angle.

"Fire!"

Zhang Tuohai shouted.

Boom boom boom!

A series of gunpowder smoke spewed out from the muzzle, and a large number of grape bullets shot towards the bandits.

Grape bullets are a bunch of small steel balls, fixed with a net bag, fired like a large shotgun, although the range is not as far as solid bullets and flower bullets, but it has a huge lethality against low-armor units at close range. A round of artillery can even directly defeat an infantry formation.

A large number of grape bullets hit the area near the coast, sifting several horse bandits who hit here, including men and horses.

"Continue to reload the ammunition." Zhang Tuohai shouted, "The most accurate and fastest shot will be rewarded with a piece of bacon and a glass of rum!"

Hearing that there was wine to drink, the speed in the hands of the pirates increased by three points. Each of them wished to transform into a lizard, quickly stuffed the shells in, and adjusted the height of the skids.

"Fire!"

Rumble!

Another volley of grape bullets was fired, and this time it directly hit the village. An earthen wall was directly smashed into a sieve, and fell to the ground. The horse bandits hiding behind the earthen wall were also smashed into pieces.

In the face of grape bullets, the elite infantry formation can be defeated, not to mention those undisciplined horse bandits?

Seeing the intensive artillery fire, those horse bandits thought they had encountered the encirclement and suppression of the regular army.

They turned their horses' heads and prepared to run.

However, at this time, the third round of grape bombs arrived.

The dense barrage directly smashed these horse bandits into a sieve, and only a few horses were lucky enough to escape, and fled into the woods in panic.

"Go ashore and clean up the battlefield." Zhang Tuo raised a devil's roar.

A dozen pirates drew their scimitars and muskets, and rushed into the village screaming.

There were still some horse bandits in the village who were lucky enough to survive lying on the ground and groaning. The pirates raised their knives to help them out of their pain, and took away their floating wealth as a reward.

Soon dozens of horse bandits were looted, and their bodies were thrown into the burning house, waiting to be reduced to ashes, lest they become petri dishes for the plague.

The belongings and food in the village that lost their owners naturally became the labor costs of the pirates.

The pirates didn't even spare the corpses of the horses. They picked up large pieces of meat, shaved them, and prepared to take them back to the ship to marinate them as food reserves.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Tuohai was about to lead the team to leave when suddenly a disheveled child emerged from the haystack at the entrance of the village and ran towards a group of people.

"I, I want to join you!" said the kid.
