Li Hongshen raised his hand when more than half of the people had gone ashore, and after seeing his signal, the leaders behind him aimed their bows and arrows at the pirates, and accompanied by the command of his arm, a whoosh came from the woods. With a swishing sound, bows and arrows shot at the pirates on the beach.
Before the pirates could react, a third of them were shot down by a wave, and the rest were still a little dazed. After the second and third waves of arrow rain, the pirates reacted.
Shouting something that Li Hongshen couldn't understand, all the pirates became confused. Some pirates drew their weapons and rushed towards the woods, some retreated and wanted to swim back to the boat, and some knelt down on the spot and raised their hands.
In such chaos, Li Hongshen took out a homemade grenade, ignited it with a torch, waited for a few seconds, and threw it at the charging pirates.
Accompanied by a puff of blue smoke and muffled noise, the earthen grenade exploded among the pirate crowd, and the iron pieces in the gunpowder scattered with the impact of the explosion, and the pirates let out screams.
Li Hongshen didn't stop, and threw 5 more earth mines in a row, blowing up the pirates to seventy-eight backwards, and then drew his spear from behind.
"Follow me to kill!!!"
"Kill!!!"
After shouting, he rushed out of the woods first, followed by the leaders who also held spears or spears. The warriors in the tribe charged in front, followed by other leaders.
Li Hongshen stabbed the standing pirate to death with one shot, and then stabbed to death a pirate who was knocked down to the ground and was still screaming after finishing his knife, and then shot at other pirates on the beach.
The pirates on the beach were quickly dealt with, and the pirates who were still swimming back in the sea were also shot into hedgehogs with bows and arrows.
The white sand and blue sea were stained red with blood. The warriors were cleaning up the corpses of the pirates, and stabbed those who were not dead.
Some young citizens were vomiting, and Li Hongshen's face turned blue. It was the first time in his past and present life that he killed someone, no matter whether it was in the trial or not, and it didn't matter whether the people in the trial were of the same type as him.
But after all, he personally killed many humanoid creatures at close range, without thinking about so many things when he did it.
Now on the beach after the battle, the strong smell of blood hit Li Hongshen's nerves. He didn't spit it out like those teenagers because of his dignity as a lord.
After the cleaning was over, Li Hongshen also calmed down. Looking at the galleon not far away, Li Hongshen was a little unsure about noticing it. He knew there must be something on it, but there might also be some remaining pirates.
In the end, he still led some warriors to swim to the pirate ship with steel knives, and the rest stayed on the shore. Instead of going up the hanging cable coil, they entered through the hole next to the pirate ship.
He took out the torch and lit the torch he brought, and looked around the cabin on this floor. From the hammock hanging in mid-air, it could be seen that this should be the cabin where the pirates stayed.
But after the baptism of sea water, the place is already very clean, and there is still sea water on the ground that can cover the entire sole of the foot.
"Li Li, take a few people to touch the ground to see if there is a cabin door leading to the next floor. I will take people up to have a look."
"Yes, patriarch."
Li Li is now one of the best warriors in the tribe. Because of the sufficient food supply, the current hunting team has become a patrol team.
And Li Hongshen handed over the entire patrol team to Li Li, who was more concerned with the construction of the territory and the arrangement of things.
Li Hongshen led the crowd up the stairs and entered the upper floor, which was the ammunition compartment and the place where the cannons were fired, but it was empty inside, only the remains of the cannons were left here, and the walls of the cabin were full of traces of repairs. It looks very dilapidated.
After searching for a while, Li Hongshen led the people to the deck. Li Hongshen led the people to collect the bones on the deck, and put down all the sails to prevent the ship from drifting away when the tide rose.
The captain's cabin on the buttocks of this sailing ship was opened with a big orange flower. After entering, you can see the sea and sky line scenery, the logbook, the captain's treasure and so on seem to be gone.
Just as Li Hongshen turned over the garbage on the deck with a knife, Li Li's shout came from below.
"Patriarch, we found something, there are people below."
Hearing the shout from below, Li Hongshen led the crowd and ran down immediately. When they reached the cabin they came in, they could see that the water on the floor had almost dissipated.
Li Li led several people around a hole, and a very thin person crawled out, and sea water flowed down from his body.
"what's the situation?"
"Patriarch, we just heard a sound from below, and then followed the sound to touch the trap door, and when we opened it, we found someone there."
"Pull him out and ask about the situation, what is his name, who is he, where is he from?"
Li Hongshen ordered the warriors next to him to pull this man up and drag him aside to ask about the situation, while he took Li Li and others down with torches to check.
This is the bottom layer of the pirate ship. The accumulated water inside can pass through people's calves, and some of the goods here are floating on the water.
In addition to the goods, there are many double-layer cages here, but most of them are already empty. The door of one of the cages has been destroyed. It should be the person who was discovered just now. Besides him, there are some thin people Locked in the upper cage.
Both men and women are wrapped in a piece of cloth. From their skeletons, it can be seen that they should be quite strong before, but now they look half dead, which makes Li Hongshen a little surprised. Could it be that this is a ship transporting slaves? Boat?
Li Hongshen led people to destroy the cage, lifted these people out of the cage, and then led the doctors in the tribe to treat them, but whether they can survive in the end depends on themselves.
Afterwards, Li Hongshen led people to drag the sailing boat to the beach for dismantling. The scrap iron cannon could be melted into iron, and the whole ship could be dismantled from the superstructure and turned into a fishing boat. those captured.
Chapter 9 Fishing boats, population and straight men
More than half a month has passed since the battle on the beach, and the sand and sea water have returned to their original colors, and any traces in front of nature seem to be erased in a very ordinary way.
The sailboat was eventually transformed into a fishing boat. The original three masts of the sailboat were cut off from the top, and except for the canvas on the mainmast, everything else was replaced with pulleys and fishing nets.
The main power of the ship is now 20 oars, which extend above the waterline.
The original pirate ship had five floors including the captain's cabin, but now it has two and a half floors, and the bottom warehouse has become a living water fish cabin, which is coated with a layer of waterproof material obtained by calcining seaweed into ash and mixing rubber.
The middle floor is where fishermen and sailors row their boats to collect their nets, and the last half floor is the podium where the captain steers, plus a place to watch.
From a large sailboat that can carry more than 10 people and a full warehouse to a fishing boat that can be driven by more than [-] people, the shipbuilders will definitely shout that the prodigals are reckless.
This fishing boat was named the Trialer by Li Hongshen, which means it was obtained during the trial. It is currently docked in the fishing port on the island. The port has been expanded to a length of [-] meters. The side of the Refiner looks a little small.
The transformation of the Trialer went very smoothly. After all, there were not many superstructures left before the transformation, so Li Hongshen didn't feel too distressed when he led people to demolish it.
Two days ago, after the transformation was completed, he took people out for a tour. With the white-bellied sea eagle, a natural scout, who helped guide the fish in the sky, it was much easier to find the fish than before.
As long as the Trier turns to a downwind position, raise the sails and drop the fishing nets to use the power of the wind to move forward. After the fishing nets are full, lower the sails and pull the fishing nets up using the pulleys on the mast.
This kind of efficiency and catch rate is much higher than that of the original small fishing boats, and it saves more time and effort, but the fishing net made of kneading and winding hemp rope cannot be regarded as very tough.
Coupled with rough operations such as vigorous salvage and dragging, several fishing nets will collapse after each salvage operation, so Li Hongshen arranges to go to sea once a week, and the rest of the time is spent on maintaining the ship and repairing the net. Expose the net.
Since the arrival of the Trialer, the original fishing boat has become a means of transporting goods, using streams to transport goods from the fishing port to the Fengqigu camp for processing.
Now there are more than a dozen houses in the Fengqigu camp, and a total of 28 people have been rescued, all of whom survived. Li Hongshen also photographed them with general language, so that they can better integrate into the tribe.
According to their self-reports, some of them were slaves, some were soldiers who were defeated and captured, and some were businessmen who were robbed.
They didn't remember how long they had been drifting at sea. They could only tell from the sound of gunfire and other sounds from above that the group of pirates had been defeated, and then the cabin began to flood from above.
Later, as time went by, the supplies in this warehouse became less and less until they were eaten up by pirates.
Then they started eating people, first the slaves in the lower floors, and then some people in the upper floors, until Li Hongshen rescued them.
Li Hongshen didn't respond after hearing this. All of this was within his expectations. He didn't care about or believe the self-reports of these people and their past identities, and he didn't give them any special treatment. Trust takes time. The test is true for both parties.
They didn't mention anything about leaving the territory. On this large island with no villages and shops behind, it was already a great gift to have a non-cannibal tribe accept them.
