Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1150 Central Plains Fleet, Funan Maca
Sending the cavalry behind the Roman defenses, the Persians were in no rush to attack.They made an appearance in front of the defense line that they would attack at any time, restraining most of Rome's troops.

This shameless tactic of the Persians made Diocletian both angry and helpless.

Out of the line of defense, they may not be able to beat the Persians.Even if he was able to fight, Diocletian would not go out easily.

The Army of the Central Plains was eyeing the Persians behind, and they did not know when they would attack Rome, so Diocletian could only leave a large number of troops here to confront the Persians.

As for the encirclement and suppression of the Persian cavalry entering the hinterland, Diocletian could only pray that Solo could perform exceptionally and limit the movement of the Persian cavalry.Otherwise, the whole of Rome may be in turmoil due to the invasion of Persian cavalry.

In the area of ​​Rome, Dongfang Qiang didn't take much part in the battles on land, and the Suzaku Legion only took a few shots.

After the king of Persia was satisfied, the Suzaku Legion became more leisurely.There is no battle to fight, and the soldiers will not be idle. Many soldiers followed Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to patrol around for the Persians, and recorded some topography by the way.

However, in a sea area, the Central Plains fleet is besieging a group of pirates!
There are more than a dozen large ships in this group of pirates under the banner of skulls, and they are the most powerful pirates in this sea area.

Two days ago, Gan Ning sent an escort warship to investigate the hydrological situation, but unexpectedly encountered pirate attacks.

The frigate took the initiative to retreat after sinking two pirate warships. It is not good to be surrounded when it is weak.

Seeing the ducks flying from their mouths, how could the pirates give up?What's more, the frigate also destroyed their two large ships.

With such a powerful ship, the pirate leader didn't blink his eyes when he saw it. He really wanted to own such a powerful ship.

Crazy pirates, once they have a target to snatch, they lose the rationality that usually remains in their brains.

They didn't even think about how such a powerful warship could be theirs.

……

……

On the deck of No. [-] flagship, Wu Shun was observing the naval battle ahead.

The originally menacing pirate ships immediately turned to escape after seeing the Central Plains warships, but their speed was indeed too slow compared to the speed of the Central Plains warships.

Without pressure, the three warships easily stopped the pirates, and then the fleet moved to surround the pirates.

"Your Majesty, these pirates have nowhere to go, so let's blow them into the sea and feed them to the fish!" Gan Ning said vigorously.

During this period of time, Wu Shun has been on his flagship, and it is the glory of the Zhengzhi Navy to be able to fight with Wu Shun.

"Don't worry, these pirates don't want to die!" Wu Shun stopped Gan Ning's plan when he saw the largest pirate ship hoisting a white flag.

Those pirate ships could not withstand a round of artillery bombardment, but they all raised the white flag and surrendered, and Wu Shun was not going to kill them all.

"The Supreme Emperor, it's just a group of pirates, kill them so you can go on your way, maybe that old boy Dongfang Qiang has already entered Rome." Gan Ning said anxiously.

He was going to Rome, how could he be delayed by a group of pirates.

When encountering pirates before, Wu Shun always bumped into them without saying a word, but this time he showed mercy, Gan Ning didn't understand.

"Let them send a representative over, let's have a look." Wu Shun said.

It has been a long time since we set off from the outer sea of ​​Funan, and Wu Shun urgently needs to know where the fleet has gone.

The group of pirates in front of them are very familiar with this sea area, so it is good to ask someone for directions.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

Gan Ning said.

For Wu Shun's safety, Gan Ning will not let the pirates approach easily.

……

"The Supreme Emperor, why is there an exception for these pirates?" Qu A asked after Gan Ning left.

"Qu'a, do you know where we are?" Wu Shun said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, according to the charts, we should be arriving in Rome soon." Qu A was not sure, he was not good at looking at charts.

"I'm not sure, so I want to try to see if I can find a guide." Wu Shun said.

"So that's how it is..." Qu Ah finally understood Wu Shun's intention.

After a while, Gan Ning walked over with a thin man wearing only cloth strips.

"The Supreme Emperor, this person can speak our Central Plains dialect." Gan Ning said.

"Oh? Are you from the Central Plains?"

Wu Shun asked the thin man.

"General, my name is Maca, I am from Funan, and I have been to the Central Plains." Maca said.

When encountering the fleet of the Central Plains, Maca knew that his hard life was over.

"People from Funan? Why do you associate with pirates?" Wu Shun asked again.

Pirates are not kind people. Seeing that Maca is so thin, with a yellow and emaciated complexion, it can be seen that he is not very popular among pirates.

"As for the General, I was persecuted by pirates. They hijacked our merchant ships in Funan and asked me to translate for them. Because many merchant ships from the Central Plains will pass here."

Maca said.

Fortunately, he can speak the language of the Central Plains. The pirates think he is valuable, so they let him live until today.

"The merchant ships from the Central Plains passed by, and the pirates dare not hijack them! What's the use of them leaving you as an interpreter?" Gan Ning asked gruffly.

Merchant ships in the Central Plains are rarely hijacked. Because of the protection of the Central Plains Navy, too many pirates have been wiped out, so that the merchant ships in the Central Plains are almost unimpeded at sea.

But nothing is absolute, there are always exceptions.Seeing Gan Ning's fierce face, Maca said quickly:
"This general doesn't know. This group of pirates has integrated all the nearby pirates. They are so powerful that some small countries on the shore will support them. The merchant ships from the Central Plains also have to pay some money to pass through here."

"It's unreasonable! These pirates deserve to die!" Gan Ning said angrily.

Gan Ning doesn't care about pirates hijacking merchant ships from other countries, but it won't work if they move merchant ships from the Central Plains!That is a provocation to their Central Plains Navy, and it will be judged.

"Don't be impatient with Xingba! Based on the concept that more things are worse than less things, it is understandable for merchants to give pirates some money to buy roads. You can't go all the way and ask you to come and destroy pirates."

Wu Shun said: "Maka, let's put aside the pirates. Since you are from Funan, you can be regarded as half a citizen of our Shu Kingdom. You should assist our fleet."

"What the general said is that the little one is willing to obey!" Maca hurriedly imitated the etiquette of the Central Plains people, and bowed to Wu Shun.

"Very well, how far are we from Rome now? Is there a closer route?" Wu Shun asked.

After drifting on the sea for a long time, Wu Shun felt extremely boring, and thought of arriving in Rome soon so that he could go ashore to rest.

"General, here is not far from Rome, there is a strait that can enter Rome's inland sea." Maca said.

"You are very good, Maca! Take us to the inner sea of ​​Rome, and you will get a rich reward from the Central Plains." Wu Shun laughed.

"Maka is willing to lead the way!"

"Xingba, since Maca bought the ship, the group of pirates will be wiped out." Wu Shun confessed.

"Here!" Gan Ning geared up and turned around, giggling, Maka's heart was trembling when he heard his laughter.
