A trace of ferocious killing intent flashed across Zang Tao's face, he took out a gleaming dagger, licked the blood trough, then laughed and pounced on Li Yifan, followed by several personal guards around him.
And Li Yifan's curses and screams rang out in the crowd: "My nose, my ears!"
With a smile on his face, Tan Daoji squatted in front of Zhao Kelun, who was kneeling on the ground. This previously fierce little commander of Tianshi Dao was now trembling with fear. He was so majestic when killing others, but now he has become someone else's case.
Shang Quan Yang, especially when he saw the Beifu sergeants chopping melons and vegetables when they killed his men, was even more frightened. His usual ferocious aura had long since flown out of the sky.
Tan Daoji's voice sounded in Zhao Kelun's ears. Although it sounded amiable, in Zhao Kelun's heart at this moment, it was no different from the voice of Lord Yama: "Zhao Kelun, do you know that your master is young now?"
Did you pick up anything?"
Zhao Kelun's voice was trembling: "You, you guys cut off his nose and cut off his ears."
Tan Daoji smiled slightly: "Yes, what do you want to do with your ears and nose like this idiot who has no sense of smell or hearing on the battlefield, who doesn't know he is trapped in a tight siege, and who dreams of going back to report the news? Not only that, I also want to shave it off."
His beard and hair were all shaved off, and his body was covered with ink. He turned into a dark, bare pig and was sent to Lin Zihao."
Zhao Kelun was frightened when he heard this, and he kowtowed quickly and said: "General Tan, please give me a good time. I would rather die than be humiliated like this!"
Tan Daoji's eyes flashed coldly, and he patted his head: "You have already broken one of your hands. I will not take any more parts from your body. However, shaving your beard and hair and dyeing your whole body with ink is indispensable.
At that time, you take your master back, return to Lin Zihao, tell him everything that happened here, and say, doesn't he want to destroy me? Then I will wait for him here. Have you written it down?
"
Zhao Kelun breathed a sigh of relief and kept kowtowing in thanks. Tan Daoji stood up and several sergeants stepped forward to take Zhao Kelun away. On the other side, Li Yifan's screams could no longer be heard. That was because of several sergeants.
His mouth had been sewn shut, and a bright knife was going back and forth on his head and face. Pieces of beard and hair fell one after another. A sergeant holding a bucket full of ink,
Standing aside with a sneer, he was ready to finally give these two leaders of Tianshi Dao some color.
When Tan Daoji walked to the podium on the top floor, Zhao Kelun had already taken Li Yifan, who looked like a black pig, and drove a small boat alone, rowing with one hand, like a bereaved dog, and left amidst the laughter.
On this boat, there were still piles of heads of more than a dozen commanders, including Zhang Fugui and Liu Tong, heading further and further away from Mei Huizhou.
Fu Hongzhi smiled and said to Tan Daoji: "Brother Daoji, are you following what Cao Cao did to Chun Yuqiong after he captured Wuchao in the Battle of Guandu? He plucked out his beard and tattooed his face, cut off his ears and nose, and sent him back.
, to demoralize the enemy, right?"
Tan Daoji nodded: "Yes, such humiliation can shock the enemy psychologically far more than a single head. If the enemy suffered such a defeat, if I just sent back the heads of Li Yifan and Zhao Kelun, it might be worse.
It will make them share the same hatred of the enemy. If I send them back as they are, Lin Zihao may even kill Ma Su to revive their morale. Only in this way can they make it neither killing nor releasing. When the soldiers see this
The situation will cause fear in the heart.”
Mao Xiuzhi nodded: "Then shall we wait here for them to fight?"
Tan Daoji shook his head: "Of course not. Our purpose in this battle is to destroy the enemy's giant ship, and diverting the enemy's escort fleet is part of this plan. Now we have not only diverted the enemy's pursuit
The fleet also destroyed them all. I let Zhao Kelun go back just to let them know that the main force of our fleet is here, and there are at least a hundred Huanglong warships."
Hu Lin'er frowned: "But we obviously only have more than fifty. I think Zhao Kelun must have seen it too."
Tan Daoji sneered: "That's why I let them go back, and why I didn't sew Zhao Kelun's mouth shut like I did to Li Yifan. Such a defeated general was so humiliated. In order to save his life after going back, he must
He will exaggerate the strength of our army. Even if he sees fifty Yellow Dragon warships, he will definitely say that there are at least a hundred. And what I want is to use his words to exaggerate our strength."
Fu Hongzhi nodded: "I understand, is this to make the enemy think that we are the main force here, so they will mobilize all fleets to attack us?"
Tan Daoji said in a deep voice: "Their escort fleet only had less than 300 ships, and most of them were small boats. There were only more than a hundred Mengchong warships. This time we killed more than half of the remaining escort ships.
Even if all the troops are dispatched, they may not be able to defeat us, unless they dispatch their giant ships."
Mao Xiuzhi smiled and said: "If it were me, I would not dispatch a giant ship. In the dark, it is risky in itself to move a giant ship. Moreover, the speed of a giant ship is very different from that of ordinary ships. How many miles can it travel like this?"
In combat, there may be a direct disconnect on the road, which will give us a new opportunity to launch a surprise attack."
Tan Daoji smiled slightly: "But if they don't come, we will leave. I asked Zhao Kelun to deliver a message saying that we are waiting for them here. In fact, soldiers are not afraid of deception. Lin Zihao and Zhu Chaoshi will definitely think that we are deceiving them.
Either they take the opportunity to make a surprise attack, or they sail away directly. In any case, they will not choose to stick to it. If I were Zhu Chaoshi, I would continue to send ships to follow up, keep a distance, and stick behind our fleet. Let’s see.
What exactly do we want to do.”
Hu Lin'er nodded and said: "Then they will have to bring at least more than a hundred ships. In this way, the power to protect the giant ships will be further weakened. In this way, Zhengxi and the others will have a chance."
Tan Daoji put away his smile and said seriously: "Actually, what we see now is the enemy's superficial strength. If it were just these warships and giant ships on the river, I wouldn't be worried. But just like the battle just now, the biggest
The threat is the five Qianlong warships and the hundreds of disciples of the General Guards on board. In order to eliminate these demon thieves just now, we suffered hundreds of losses, accounting for more than half of the losses in this battle. The enemy
How many Qianlong warships there are left is what worries me the most. Only by drawing out all these forces can we take action. This is why I do this!"
