Chapter 199 Pirate Settlement In The Black Sea Islands
"My lord, the information has been obtained."
Xiong San walked into the Palace of Qinzheng with the information, and he saluted Su Chen.
Su Chen was looking at the city street planning board in front of him with his back turned to him.
And Cao Duo was also beside Su Chen. After all, Su Chen's goods were robbed, so Cao Duo had to meet Su Chen.
"Well, tell me about it."
Su Chen looked away from the city street planning board in front of him, turned around and sat on the chair behind the desk next to him.
"Yes, this time Captain Chen Ming led the Yunlang to pursue them. Although our ship was much faster than them, there were three pirate ships. Captain Chen Ming only intercepted two ships, and one pirate ship ran away."
"We have captured more than a dozen pirates. After interrogation, we have determined the gathering points of the pirates and the basic information of many pirates in the surrounding waters."
As Xiong San spoke, Su Chen nodded and said, "Very good, let's continue."
"Yes, the pirates who attacked the Tuocao merchant ship this time are members of the Red-haired Pirates. They usually gather in the Black Sea Islands. The Black Sea Islands are 320 nautical miles away from our Yanyun Port..."
After Yusan's explanation, Su Kang understood. 527
The pirates have a fixed gathering place, which is the Black Sea Islands.
There are countless ports on the Black Sea Islands, and there are also many settlements established by pirates. If the pirates within thousands of nautical miles around sell their stolen goods, they will usually come here.
And Su Chen found the location of the Black Sea Islands on the map.
But because the sea area is vaster than the land, so the size of this archipelago is as small as a planet somewhere in the Milky Way compared to the size of the entire sea area.
Therefore, only after Su Chen knows the distance can he accurately search for it on the map of the sea area.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to find.
"How many pirates are gathered in the Black Sea Islands?"
Su Chen asked.
"Well, the number is not certain. I only know that the Black Sea Islands are managed by the pirate fleet of the Pearl Goddess, who is the roost among the pirates. The number of pirates in the Black Sea Islands is also erratic. Some people come and some go. We can only be sure. The resident pirates are the Pearl Goddess Pirate Fleet, and the minimum number is more than 3,000.
"The number of ships is at least hundreds."
As Xiong San spoke, Su Chen was also thinking about it in his heart.
Thousands of pirates, hundreds of ships.
This is not very difficult for Yanyun City. Now Yanyun City's naval strength must surpass those pirates.
The distance of three hundred and twenty nautical miles is very short for a wide sea.
Now the average speed of the Yanyun Navy is about seven or eight knots, and the speed is close to 13 nautical miles per hour. This speed is not average and depends on the sea conditions.
But you must know that on the sea, the ship is moving all the time. Even if the sail is furled, the ship will follow the ups and downs of the waves without knowing which direction to go.
If you want to stop, you must find a piece of shallow water or an island to drop anchor so that the ship will not continue to move.
The distance of more than 300 nautical miles, the sails are constantly sailing, day and night, and they can arrive within a day or two.
But the problem is that it doesn't stop around the clock.
Navigating at night is very dangerous, and the visibility is very low. If you are not careful, you will lose your way.
Therefore, many people will try to find a shallow water area to furl the sails at night, drop anchor, and continue sailing until daytime.
But Su Chen has the map, so it doesn't need to be.
His troops will be marked on the map. Just open the map and see that the course is off, and correct it.
In this way, whether it is night or day, it can continue to sail continuously.
Also because of this, the fleet led by Su Chen is naturally at least ten times more mobile than the fleet led by other players, or even NPCs.
Because others can't (bbbe) sail at night, but Su Chen can.
"Then, get ready. Send Chen Ming and the four pirate ships in the fleet. They disguise themselves as pirates to carry out investigations. After the investigation is completed, I will lead the fleet to capture the Black Sea Islands. Our sea routes cannot There is no threat."
Su Chen gave the order.
There are five pirate ships in the Yanyun Port Navy, there were four before, but this has entered a new month, so one more can be summoned.
Because they were also pirates before, it was only appropriate to go to investigate an archipelago where pirates gathered.
After they came back from the investigation and confirmed the target's information, Su Chen could make a move.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you shoot now.
However, it is a stupid act to act rashly without completely investigating the other party's intelligence.
Su Chen would definitely not make such a mistake.
They went to investigate, and it was estimated that it would take at least ten days to go back and forth.
Because without Su Chen's guidance, they cannot sail at night, even if they have the simple compass that the pirates themselves have.
They can only find an island to drop anchor, repair, and find the right direction during the day before they can move on.
But when they came back, the ten lucky boats that were being built at the port were almost finished.
At that time, Su Chen's navy will have twenty-six ships at its disposal.
The chances of winning the next attack are also greater.
It was reported that Chen Ming came, and after receiving Su Chen's order, Chen Ming went to the naval base to lead the pirate ship to the Black Sea Islands for reconnaissance.
After Xiong San and the others retreated, Su Chen looked at Cao Duo who had been standing beside him for a long time and dared not speak, and said to him, "Okay, don't be so cautious, we also stipulated in the treaty that If there is an unexpected situation like now, if the goods are not delivered on time, or the goods are short, you will not be considered as a breach of contract, and you should know this in your heart." 1
"Yes, Lord Yan Yunjue, I feel much more at ease with your action."
"This waterway will definitely be safer in the future."
Cao Duo respectfully said to Su Chen with relief.
"Since that's the case, you and your people should stay in Yanyun City for the time being."
"Before the pirates in the Black Sea Islands are wiped out, the surrounding waters are still not safe, for the sake of safety.
Su Chen waved his hands casually, then stood up and continued to look at the city street planning version.
Regarding this point, Cao Duo would naturally not be unwilling. He also sneaked a few glances at the city street plan, and then swallowed.
Like the city street plan painted on the board, he has never seen such a big city plan in his life!
For Cao Duo, the largest tribe he has seen is a tribe with thousands of people on a certain island.
When have you seen a city with a population of tens of thousands like Yanyun City? .
