Sometimes it feels valuable, but in the eyes of others it may not be valuable, so it should be there or not, or it might be like someone’s cat, no one knows the value until the lid is lifted.
Where exactly?
Zhou Tai has no idea that he has now become a whirlpool of conflicts between many parties.
Sometimes little people are like this, thinking that they control their own destiny, but in fact it is just an illusion.
Is Zhou Tai considered a nobody?
To the soldiers under Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai is a big shot, but if you go up the ladder, Zhou Tai is just a chess piece on the chessboard.
In the afternoon of that day, the scout returned in a hurry, went to Zhou Tai to report, and took out a newly drawn simple map and presented it to Zhou Tai.
"Captain, last night, two more ships came back. The hulls of the ships are slightly larger than ours... There is a camp five miles away from here. The camp is sparsely guarded, but there are still some sentries around, small
I was worried that I would be discovered, so I didn’t get too close. I don’t know how many troops there were in the camp... but counting the tents in the camp, there were at least about two thousand people..."
Two thousand people are indeed large-scale pirates. No wonder the local villages and counties cannot handle it.
excusable.
As the scout spoke, Zhou Tai stroked his beard, nodded slowly, and then asked: "How is the equipment?"
"Not many have armor, and even if they do, most of them are leather armor." The scout replied.
Zhou Tai nodded, this is in line with the characteristics of a pirate.
With a group of sailors without much training, sailing is not a big problem, but if you want to fight on the sea, you may not be able to compete with the pirates who drift on the sea every day.
But once you get ashore, it's different.
Pirates are pirates after all, and they are even worse than ordinary bandits on the shore, so we only need to focus on the shore, and then send people to cut off the pirates' retreat. Then isn't it like catching a turtle in a jar and catching it with ease? Now that the pirates are on the shore,
Then you are asking for death. If you cannot seize this opportunity, then isn't it the same as letting the tiger go back to the mountain?
Zhou Tai thought for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Give me the order, make rice at the third watch, and set off at the fifth watch!"
Zhou Tai waved his arms, "Tomorrow we will destroy the pirates in Jingping!"
Two thousand pirates seemed to be a terrifying number for local counties and towns, but for Zhou Tai, he felt what would happen if it was doubled?
Just chickens and dogs.
After Zhou Tai's order, the soldiers naturally responded and went down to deliver the order.
Nowadays, the situation in Jiangdong is complicated, and sometimes Zhou Tai feels like he is at a loss as to what to do.
After much deliberation, Zhou Tai felt that he still needed to show his strength. Only if he was strong enough could others not dare to act rashly. Zhou Tai came to test the sea this time for the same purpose. Simply repelling the pirates was not enough to prove
The value of Zhou Tai's own martial arts can only be demonstrated by sufficient gains.
……\(￣︶￣)/……
"Fuck it!"
In the pirate camp, the second master angrily chopped down a somewhat tattered tabletop in front of him.
This table eucalyptus was robbed from that village. I don't know if it was shaking from the beginning or if it came loose after being brought over. Anyway, the second master suddenly collapsed when he leaned on it.
He fell to the side and almost made the second master fall into a dog's poop. Suddenly, the anger that the second master had been pent up for a long time suddenly found an outlet.
The little leader in the camp sat aside and did not dare to persuade him. He just watched the second master chop the table eucalyptus until sawdust flew everywhere.
The second master shouted loudly and slashed with his knife. The waist knife full of gaps in his hand was finally overwhelmed by the load and broke into two pieces. The broken blade in front bounced high and fell in front of the second master with a clang.
The second master angrily threw the other half of the knife on the ground and turned back to his position. "I am a man who earns a living at sea, not a bandit! In the end, I have to make a camp here and do it in Liang! The fake camp can be hidden
How long? Let the sun dry and let it cool!』
The little boss didn't dare to respond. He shrank his head and pretended not to hear.
Zhou Tai was planning to wipe out the pirates, and these pirates were also plotting against Zhou Tai. Hu Yu tried his best to lure the Jiangdong navy to the peninsula, and even built a fake camp just to let Zhou Tai
Tai took the bait.
There were originally some fishing villages and villages in the surrounding area, and you can even see some traces of farming. However, with the rampant pirates, these fishing villages and villages have become fewer and fewer, and they have all moved inland.
In the camp, there seem to be many tents, but in fact, there are basically only one or two people living under those tattered rags, so it actually looks like a camp, more like a refugee camp.
.
The second master is somewhat of a prominent figure in the pirate group, but in fact he is also a small figure. He doesn't know Hu Yu's specific plan, or even many things. He just knows that he will be a bait here to wait for Jiang Dong.
Taking the bait...
Or just waiting to be eaten.
The men of the second master are all pirates. These people are very slippery on the water, but when they land on the ground, many of them cannot adapt at all. The ground on the shore feels soft when they step on it. It takes a long time to barely adapt.
, so the second boss is very worried. If they really encounter Jiang Dongbing, can they stop him?
But he didn't dare to ask the second master to disobey Hu Yu's orders. Although he usually had some secret fights with Hu Yu, if it were to be done openly, he didn't have the ability to overturn the table.
The little boss next to the second master also had a sad look on his face.
If the second boss is a nobody, then the boss is a minion.
Everyone knows how to fish, and regardless of whether you can catch a fish or not, first of all, there is a risk that the bait will be eaten by the fish at any time.
Just when I was feeling aggrieved, I suddenly heard a scream from the sentry on the hillside outside the camp. Suddenly, there were many pirates in the camp running towards the hillside. The second boss and the little boss looked at each other, and they also
He quickly ran out and reached the hillside outside the camp. On the hillside, there were more than a dozen subordinates pointing to the northwest and shouting. The second master looked in the direction of their fingers and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.
Mouth.
On the distant coastline, more than twenty ships are coming here!
"Koto Navy!"
"It's broken! The Jiangdong Navy didn't take the land route! They are going to block us on the shore!" The little leader shouted in despair. He was not afraid of the Jiangdong Navy at sea, but now they are on land, around him.
The other little pirates have almost the same mental state as the little boss.
The second master also discovered several large ships that he had never seen before among the boats of the Jiangdong navy. The tall masts and wide hulls shocked him deeply. He immediately swallowed a gulp of saliva and went to the ship without saying a word.
He ran back, "Quick! Quick! We don't want the camp anymore! Get on the boat! Get on the boat quickly! There's still time!"
Suddenly, the pirates were like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and they started running out in a hurry, rushing towards the harbor where they docked their ships.
On the other side of the ship, Zhou Tai stood on the bow with some high spirits.
From the line of sight of the new battleship, we can also see the chaotic scene of pirates on the hilltop.
As expected, they are a bunch of rabble with no ability at all.
Zhou Tai laughed loudly, "How dare a mere pirate be so arrogant? Once my army arrives, the pirates will be doomed!"
"The captain is wise! The captain caught him by surprise this time and cut off his way back. He will surely catch the pirates in one fell swoop!" The one who spoke was the military marquis accompanying the army. Although he was not a relative of Zhou Tai, he would not be so easy.
After offending Zhou Tai and seeing the current chaos among pirates, he knew that the battle situation was probably in his favor, so he just flattered him, hoping to get some military credit.
Zhou Tai ignored the military lord and ordered loudly, "Speed up! Catch up and trap the rabbits in the nest! Don't let them escape!"
Although it is said that the ship is small and easy to turn around, it does not say that the small ship is easy to lift anchor. The natural port where the temporary docking is itself is not big, and the pirates are somewhat panicked.
The closer they got, the crossbows fired from the warships whizzed by, causing the pirates to become more panicked and disorderly.
A crossbow flew over and was nailed to the deck of a small boat. Immediately, sawdust flew everywhere, and the boat also turned half a circle. It collided with another boat with a bang, and immediately blocked the waterway.
Most of the time, the ship behind also hit the ship in front. It was like a car accident scene on the road. In the blink of an eye, it was blocked tightly.
"Push away! Push the boat away!"
The little pirate leader yelled crazily. If there was a gap around the two ships, it would not be difficult to push the ships away. The difficulty is that when these ships are crowded together, if you push this way, you will hit the ship on this side.
If you push over there, you will hit the ship over there. And with Jiangdong's naval forces pressing every step of the way, there are a few pirates who have the talent to be calm and calm, and they can know what is going to happen to this messy ship.
Only by moving can we untie it in an orderly manner?
"We can't go any further! Get ashore! Get ashore!" the second master yelled. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, he immediately fled, "Everyone, get ashore! Run to the mountains!"
Although they are pirates and are not used to living on the shore, if they still stay on the water and cannot escape, they will become living targets on the Jiangdong ship after they are pressed up by the ship!
Pirates have never had the idea of resisting to the death and being tenacious and unyielding. If they can't be defeated, then run away!
Even if it is inconvenient and unaccustomed to go ashore, it is still better than being crushed by a Jiangdong ship in the water and shot on the water!
So the pirates jumped into the water and fled to the shore like ducks diving into water.
Anyone with a little experience on the Jiangdong navy knows that the pirates in front of them have no ability to resist...
"Colonel, why do you need the captain to show off his skills for such a thief?" The military prince watched with hot eyes, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and said with cupped hands, "Why don't you let me go and defeat these thieves in one fell swoop?"
,Behead him!』
Zhou Tai chuckled and ignored the request of the military lord, "No matter how big or small the war is, my captain is always at the forefront. How can I sit back and watch my sons fight to death? You are just living on the ship, and you can protect the ship without losing anything! No violation!"
If the ship is damaged, you are the only one asking!"
After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he led the people off the ship, transferred to the stern, led the people ashore, and headed straight for the escaping pirates.
The landing operations in this era were relatively simple, and the composition of troops and logistics requirements were not high. As for beach grabbing, it was far less cruel than in later generations, and there was even no sense of beach grabbing. Not far from the shore, a stern boat jumped off the bow.
Several soldiers then pulled the boat close to the shore in the water.
Zhou Tai followed the follow-up boat and quickly boarded the shore, leading his soldiers to pursue...
……╰(￣▽￣)╭……
The battlefield is far away.
I don't know when a three-pole boat popped up from the coastline, and then many more ship masts appeared. After a while, there were twenty or thirty ships, like a group of people who smelled the smell of blood.
Shark breaks through the waves and rushes straight in!
If the military princes who stayed on the ships had more snacks, or if the soldiers on the watchtower were more experienced, the situation might be different.
When Hu Yu and his men came out in a menacing manner, the attention of the soldiers Zhou Tai left on the ship were all focused on the shore. No one looked at the other side for a second...
Then, just like Zhou Tai and the others blocked the Second Pirate Master and fought against them, Hu Yu blocked Zhou Tai's remaining troops and fought against them.
Zhou Tai took the experienced soldiers who were brave enough to fight ashore, and the rest were the novices.
The sudden situation caused these recruits to panic and become a little unsteady on the deck. The things they usually trained seemed to have been forgotten in the back of their minds, and they could not remember them.
The military marquis who stayed behind shouted and ordered his soldiers to fire arrows at the approaching pirate ship.
But amid the chaos all around, the arrow was fluttering, and its accuracy was simply not enough. It flew out in a mess, and when it was blown by the sea breeze, it suddenly fell over without knowing where it went. Then it aroused more and more laughter from the pirates, laughing and joking.
Some even turned around, exposed their buttocks and pointed their anus at these rookie sailors in Koto, which was really humiliating.
Hu Yu looked at it and laughed loudly, "Sun thief! It's time to pay back the debt you owe me! Today I'm collecting some interest!"
Speaking of which, Hu Yu really has something to do with Sun...
But that's old news.
Hu Yu is now older.
Hu Yu also wanted to give his maritime career a glorious ending, rather than becoming a loser in an internal fight and being thrown into the sea. Therefore, Hu Yu not only wanted to clean up Jiangdong's army, but also cheated the second boss.
Who asked the second boss to always ask this and that, making it seem as if something might go wrong in Hu Yu's plan at any time.
The cable of the small boat hanging behind the big ship was cut directly. The yelling pirates controlled the small boat and got directly into the queue of the Jiangdong Navy. The harpoons and small axes thrown by Lengzi, although not necessarily
It has so much lethality, but it makes the novices of Jiangdong, who were already in a bit of confusion, unable to take care of both sides.
The pirates on the shore are like a group of ducks, and the pirates who fight smoothly on the water are like a group of piranhas!
A lot of bright red appeared in the sea water, and then quickly spread into bright red and light red, and finally merged with the rest of the sea water.
The early small boats disrupted the Jiangdong Army's array, and the larger ships that followed directly crashed into the naval array that had not yet completely turned, exposing holes in its flanks!
The wood squeezed, making a heartbreaking sound, and the iron ram broke into the cabin, causing the hull to tilt immediately, and then quickly began to sink...
A more brutal hand-to-hand combat began, with the sounds of weapons clashing and screams continuing.
The ears of the military commander who stayed behind were filled with crazy shouts and the screams of the wounded soldiers, and his eyes were filled with assassination weapons. In front of him, a pirate with a long harpoon rushed towards him, and the bright harpoon was directly aimed at his face.
Poke it!
The Marquis knew that due to the up and down vibration of the ship's hull, it was more difficult to achieve accurate blocking, so he prepared to strike first, dodging the harpoon aimed at his face, and counterattacking at the same time, piercing the pirate with his sword.
body of!
Unfortunately, the idea is good, but the reality is terrible.
Just as they were crossing each other, the ship the Marquis was on was accidentally hit by a ship over there, and everyone on the deck suddenly started to sway. Not only did the Marquis' sword fail to penetrate the pirate's body, but it was also hit by the pirate's harpoon.
He swiped it hard at the shoulder and arm, and the armor pieces flew away, and the harpoon's sting made a bloody opening.
The Marquis yelled and fell backwards. The surrounding guards quickly stepped forward, and the Marquis covered him and led him to the back line.
When the pirates saw this situation, they became more and more violent, roaring and rising madly.
The military commander narrowly escaped death and saw waves of pirates coming from the side of the ship like an endless stream. At the same time, his wounds were soaked with sea water and so on. His whole body was shaking with pain, and even the knife was gone.
Can't hold it.
Without a commander, Jiangdong's novice naval forces could only parry. People were constantly injured and fell to the ground. In addition, the deck was different from that on land. There were sporadic pirates climbing up from other directions at any time.
The flanks even launched a sneak attack on Jiangdong Navy from behind...
"Retreat! Retreat to ship No. 2!" The military leader covered his wound with blood dripping from his hands. He staggered forward and ordered, "Let all the ships weigh anchor immediately and knock them out!"
Previously, the Jiangdong soldiers were laughing at the pirates as they watched them flee, but now it is the Jiangdong Navy's turn to be laughed at by the pirates...
The same narrow waterway is equally difficult to turn.
"Then... where is the captain? The captain is still on the shore!" A soldier shouted from the side.
The military prince didn't know whether it was because of pain or some other reason. When he passed by the soldier, he looked unsteady and threw himself, knocking the soldier off the side of the ship...
"Ah! Hurry up and call someone to rescue him!" The military commander called out, but his steps didn't stop at all. "The others followed me! If the captain hadn't underestimated the enemy this time and was ambushed by the enemy, why would he be here?"
! This ship is the captain's ship. It fell into the hands of the enemy because the captain left without permission and pursued the enemy and fell into a trap! And we fought bloody battles. As long as we protected the No. 2 ship, not only would we have no fault, but we would also be guilty.
Good work! Go quickly, go quickly!』
Zhou Tai took away most of the soldiers on the leader ship. There were already insufficient manpower, and the pirates were obviously coming for the leader ship. If he continued to delay, he might die on the leader ship!
If ships are floating territories, then indeed, as Junhou said, the leader ship is Zhou Tai's territory. Losing the leader ship is equivalent to Zhou Tai losing his territory. And Junhou is the leader of the second ship, so as long as he keeps it
If you don't lose the No. 2 ship, there will naturally be tall people to resist if the sky falls...
As for other matters, the military lord has no control over them.
