My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 305 Hostage Exchange

Zhu Zhanhe confronted Ge Chengwulang on the opposite side. The two sides did not have the slightest trust and were unwilling to release the hostages first.

Finally Zhu Zhanhe suggested: "Ge Chengwulang, before releasing the hostages, I must confirm the identity and number of these hostages, so you let me send officials to count the number of people!"

"can!"

Gecheng Goro didn't refuse this time, but agreed very readily.

Zhu Zhanhe immediately sent officials to board the seven merchant ships to count the number of people on board, and finally confirmed that they were all Ming people, with a total of more than 100 people. Of course, there may be Japanese spies among them, but it is impossible to distinguish them now. .

"His Royal Highness, your ships and troops are in the upper hand. Now we are the ones who have to worry about you attacking us after exchanging hostages. Therefore, you should release my brother first!"

Ge Chengwulang waited for Zhu Zhanhe to count the number of people before shouting loudly again.

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe also felt that it made sense. After all, they were the dominant side now, and Ge Chengwulang was even right. Zhu Zhanhe really planned to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese pirates directly after the hostage exchange, trying to capture them. Staying here, after all, there is no need to talk about benevolence, justice and morality to Japanese pirates.

"You let some people go first, and then I let your brother go back!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally proposed the terms of the exchange.

"it is good!"

Ge Chengwulang finally agreed, and then he gave an order, and immediately two merchant ships left the Japanese pirate fleet and sailed slowly towards Daming.

When the merchant ship entered Daming's fleet, the people on board also yelled and laughed ecstatically, and some even wailed excitedly. They fell into the hands of the Japanese pirates, and their life was worse than death. They never dreamed that they would come back one day.

After taking over the two merchant ships, Zhu Zhanhe finally sent someone to lower a small boat, let Ge Chengerlang board the boat alone, and then rowed the boat towards the Japanese pirate fleet on the opposite side.

Gecheng Goro looked at his brother who was getting closer, and his face showed excitement.

After Katsuragi Erlang's boat docked with his boat, Katsuragi Goro immediately took him to the boat.

"elder brother!"

Ge Chengwulang stepped forward and hugged Ge Chengerlang. Both of their brothers and parents died. He grew up with Ge Chengerlang since he was a child. It can be said that in his heart, Ge Chengerlang is both his elder brother and his father.

"Goro, you did a good job!"

Ge Cheng Erlang also praised his brother with emotion at this time, and then he looked at the powerful Deming Fleet behind him.

"The most important thing now is how to escape, the Ming army will definitely not let us leave smoothly!"

Gecheng Erlang spoke again.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan!"

Unexpectedly, Gecheng Goro smiled confidently, and said he ordered: "Accord with the previous plan!"

The Japanese pirates below agreed, and immediately went down to work.

Zhu Zhanhe watched Ge Chengerlang get on the boat, and was about to urge him to release him, but he saw that the five merchant ships moved and slowly came towards Zhu Zhanhe.

This made Zhu Zhanhe and the others happy too, they didn't expect that Ge Chengwulang was quite trustworthy.

At the same time as the merchant ships were moving, the Japanese pirates' fleet retreated abruptly, apparently wanting to take the opportunity to escape. After all, they were at a complete disadvantage facing Ming's fleet, and if they were entangled by the opponent, they would definitely be wiped out.

Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, Zhu Zhanhe was about to order Zhang Fu and Zhou Zhong to send warships to intercept him, but Zhang Fu suddenly shouted: "No, those merchant ships are sinking!"

Zhu Zhanhe's heart sank when he heard the words, and he immediately turned his head to look, only to see that the five returning merchant ships were sinking slowly, and the people of Ming Dynasty on board were also panicking and shouting for help.

"The Japanese pirates are really cunning. They actually destroyed these ships in advance. If we go after them, we won't be able to rescue the people on board!"

Zhou Zhong also said angrily at this time.

"It's important to save people!"

Although Zhu Zhanhe was angry, he was not surprised. After all, since Ge Chengwulang dared to come, there must be a way to escape.

There were 800 people on the five merchant ships, and the merchant ships were sinking very fast, so Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly directed the ships to rescue them, and transferred the people on board to the warships for resettlement.

Of course, Zhu Zhanhe did not give up on the Japanese pirates, but sent two new warships to follow them.

"The Ming army is really worried and kind, I knew they would definitely want to swallow us!"

Looking at the two warships chasing behind him, Gecheng Goro couldn't help but sneered.

"Goro, be careful with these two new warships. They are very fast and flexible. We suffered a lot from them before!"

Ge Chengerlang opened his mouth to remind.

If he hadn't been intercepted by a new type of warship before, Ge Chengerlang would have had a chance to escape.

"Don't worry, we are most familiar with this sea area, and their ships are useless no matter how fast they are!"

Ge Chengwulang said, and ordered his men to speed up, and at the same time sent some extremely fast boats to harass the two warships, making them unable to pursue at full speed.

Although the Japanese pirate ships have different forms, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are long and narrow in size, flexible in operation, and fast, which is also suitable for the Japanese pirates' tactics of running away when they can't beat them.

Moreover, this sea area is full of islands and hidden reefs. The Japanese pirates rely on their boats to eat in shallow water and can pass through some hidden reef areas. However, Daming's warships have a relatively deep draft, so they can only detour when encountering some areas.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the speed of the two Ming warships is getting slower and slower, and the distance from the Japanese pirate fleet is getting farther and farther.

Finally, the Japanese pirate fleet circled an island, and when Daming's warship tried to chase after it, the Japanese pirate fleet had already disappeared on the sea.

"Hahaha~, I really got rid of them!"

When Ge Chengwulang realized that there was no trace of the warships of the Ming army, he immediately laughed proudly.

The entire retreat route was carefully planned by him, and of course it was impossible for the opponent to catch up.

"Goro, you really deserve to be my younger brother, you did a great job this time!"

Ge Chengerlang patted his younger brother on the shoulder in great relief and praised him at this time.

But at this point, Ge Chengerlang suddenly sighed again: "It's a pity that all the bright people we have arrested over the years have been lost."

"Brother, it's just some smart people, let's catch them later!"

Katsuragi Goro said indifferently.

"We escaped from Daming this time, and they will definitely try their best to arrest us, so we should keep a low profile recently and avoid the limelight!"

Ge Chengerlang said very cautiously.

"I understand. I have already asked people to move. No one can find us this time."

Gecheng Goro said again confidently.

It's just that Gecheng Goro didn't know that there was a blue hot air balloon floating in the sky in the distance, which could clearly see the movement of their fleet.
