Su Yang also wanted to laugh, "Showing weakness to the enemy, arrogance will come at a price!"
"Boss, just sit back and watch the show! The rest of the time is for your subordinate!"
Hans Locke ordered the people in the main cabin to prepare to change direction.
A staff member beside him began to count down.
"Eight nautical miles!"
"Seven nautical miles!"
"Six nautical miles!"
"..."
"Two nautical miles!"
Hans Locke raised his hand, "Change direction, drop anchor, fire the cannons!"
"Yes!"
In the main cabin, the staff turned the helm, and the Yangwei floated across the river, its eight cannons extending their muzzles.
The moment the gun turrets were raised, Chen Xinghai and the others were stunned.
"What do they want to do?"
"Major, quickly order a retreat, they're faking surrender!"
"It's too late, quickly order a counterattack!"
"Rumble!"
Eight cannonballs the size of basketballs flew over, and the five ships of Song Hai exploded simultaneously.
Accompanied by the dense spray of deck debris, the people on the ships suffered.
Screams echoed endlessly; some were killed on the spot by the cannonballs, some were hit by fragments, and some fell into the water.
This was only the first round of attacks, and the Song Hai fleet had already lost half of its ships.
Chen Xinghai was both shocked and delighted. Shocked that Su Yang's ship could shoot so far with such power.
Delighted that his own ship had not been hit by the cannons.
"Turn around, retreat quickly!"
At this moment, he no longer cared about missions or rewards, only wanting to survive and go home.
However, how could the experienced Hans Locke let a cooked duck fly away?
"Reload the cannons, aim and fire!"
"Received!"
The people in the main cabin worked with clear division of labor, each man at his post, and quickly reloaded eight cannonballs.
Within seconds, the second round of attacks arrived.
"Oh my god, jump ship quickly!"
Chen Xinghai's ship had a small boat behind its stern.
He disregarded the lives of his subordinates, jumped overboard alone from the stern, and quickly started the small yacht to escape.
"Rumble!"
Flames rose from the sea, and the remaining five ships were also hit by Hans Locke.
A line of fire streaked across the river, a tragic scene.
Hans Locke raised his telescope and vaguely saw a yacht escaping.
"Weigh anchor, continue the pursuit!"
"Forget it, he's just a nobody."
Su Yang put down his wine glass. The result Hans Locke achieved had already exceeded his expectations.
"Hans, get to Qingcheng as soon as possible, and then dock. Otherwise, they will really die!"
Hans Locke put away his smile, thought of Shi Wuzun and the injuries of the Dragon Blood Legion members, and nodded heavily.
"Full speed to Qingcheng!"
"Also, check if the supplies from all aspects are sufficient. Anything that needs to be replenished, replenish it after arriving in Qingcheng!"
Hans Locke directed everyone to work, feeling as if he had returned to ten years ago, to his days as a pirate captain.
Su Yang returned to the cabin to check on Shi Wuzun's injuries again.
He found that the black spider in Shi Wuzun's chest had grown larger, and there wasn't much time left before it would lay its eggs.
"Shen Qiu, tell me what medicine you need to buy. When we get to Qingcheng, make sure to treat Brother Shi quickly."
Shen Qiu reached out and pointed at the black spider, "My idea is to buy all the medicinal materials, give them to Commander Shi, and then make an incision at this spot.
The medicine will be mixed with the flesh and blood, and the smell will force the black spider to come out on its own."
"By the way, you should take some people to learn some medical skills when you have time. Otherwise, if our people get injured in the future, you'll be exhausted working alone."
Shen Qiu was a little displeased, "Boss, I still have to teach apprentices?"
Su Yang turned to leave, "Then forget it. I was going to assign a few female mercenaries for you to train. Since you don't want to, I'll find someone else."
"Oh my, boss, my respected boss, my subordinate hasn't finished speaking, you can't just leave like this!"
Hearing about beautiful women, Shen Qiu's spirits immediately lifted.
During this time, he had been listening to Su Yang and Sakata Cangyue's nightly noises, and he had long wanted to find a woman to vent his frustrations.
However, without Su Yang's permission, he didn't dare to touch the female mercenaries.
"Boss, you are forever my god. You must give me this task, or I'll cry for you!"
"Get lost, you little sly fox!"
Su Yang chuckled and cursed, but in the end, he still assigned a few female mercenaries for him to train.
As for how he would train them, that was Shen Qiu's ability.
...
The next day, after dawn.
The Yangwei docked at the Qingcheng pier.
The morning pier was exceptionally crowded, with fishing boats returning to shore, sorting and selling buckets of fish.
Su Yang had people stay on the ship while the rest disembarked to purchase medicinal herbs and daily necessities for the ship.
"It's just dawn, let's find a place to have breakfast first. The pharmacies aren't open yet!"
Su Yang took a deep breath. The air on land was clearly better than at sea, where the sea breeze always carried the smell of salted fish.
"Boss, there's a tea house over there, shall we go?"
"That's fine too!"
Cars were parked outside the tea house. As Su Yang and his group entered, they heard a clamor, like being in a vegetable market.
Since Su Yang had a large group, he didn't choose a private room but picked a few seats in the main hall.
At the same time, people around them were whispering.
"Did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Yesterday, the navy in the neighboring Songcheng was bombarded, and all ten ships were annihilated."
"My heavens, who is so bold as to attack official navy ships?"
"I heard it was Su Yang of Songhai. His Yangwei warship passed by Songcheng yesterday. I don't know why they started fighting."
"Since the news hasn't been officially announced, let's not talk about it. The water here is too deep. When big shots fight, we should just watch quietly."
Su Yang smiled. It seemed his Yangwei had become famous in one battle.
He wondered if anyone would be waiting for them on the rest of the journey.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Su Yang?"
The waiter was serving tea and breakfast and happened to see Su Yang.
Su Yang was already a well-known figure online, and with several major events happening in the capital recently, Su Yang's fame had grown even more. Those with discerning eyes had already posted his photos on various platforms.
"It's me, what's wrong?"
"Oh, oh, it's nothing. I just didn't expect you to come to our Qingcheng."
The waiter's eyes gleamed. After putting down the tea and snacks, he wanted to ask for Su Yang's WeChat.
Sakata Cangyue was unhappy and glared at the waiter, scaring the latter away.
"Are you jealous?"
"You already have so many women, and these women are actively throwing themselves at you. How will my sister and I live in the future?"
Sakata Cangyue tilted her head and pouted. For the sake of her future happiness, she had to strictly control the women around Su Yang.
Look, Liu Shishi and Liang Peiqi were also nearby. Last night, she hadn't even slept with Su Yang.
"Fine, whatever you say."
Su Yang dared not offend a petty woman, otherwise, his nights would be difficult, and he might even get bitten, which would be terrible.
