After Geng Xinghan found out that the opponent had a sharpshooter, he realized that he had encountered a tough situation today. In the past, when cargo ships were robbed, the opponent usually only offered symbolic resistance for a while, then began to surrender and then stretched out his neck to be killed by him.
However, things were obviously different today. After boarding the ship, they encountered tenacious resistance. Resistance is better said to be killing. When faced with blood, the other party seemed more excited than ourselves. When it came to killing people, the other party was even more excited.
He appears to be more knowledgeable than himself.
What kind of people are these?
He has been carefully concealing his figure and shouting to his men.
"Attack, attack, attack!"
Whoosh!
It was the sound of an arrow piercing the air. Geng Xinghan turned his head almost subconsciously, and an arrow pierced his throat without any bias.
Geng Xinghan fell to the ground, and the harpoon in his hand fell into the sea, making a crisp sound.
After all, there is no escape.
On the bow of the ship, Zhao Zilong whistled crisply, and the task assigned to him was finally completed. At this moment, a pirate rushed towards him from behind. He jumped up on the bow of the ship, turned 360 degrees in the air, and blocked the opponent with his bow.
Tightening the neck with force, the opponent struggled under the bow string, but like a mouse trapped in a cat's claws, it was strangled to death and could no longer move.
To be so aggressive on the killing field is either to seek death or to show off your skills.
Maybe he was just showing off his skills.
After Geng Xinghan died, the battle also had a winner. It was hard to believe what kind of fighting will a group of pirates had. After the leader was killed and the death toll exceeded thirty, their fighting will completely collapsed.
It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. No one will keep charging forward even when they know they are about to die.
A group of people fled in panic, and some who had no time to get on the boat were struggling in the water.
After the battle, the water was stained with blood, and corpses were floating on the surface. Some were from pirates, but also from Cheng Dalei's side.
Taking stock of the battlefield, Cheng Dalei discovered that five of his own men had been killed, and some of their bodies had fallen into the water. Under such circumstances, there was no way to fish them out.
In battle, there will inevitably be sacrifices, and death is inevitable. With fifty men defeating two hundred pirates, and even killing their leader, this battle can be considered a victory in any case, and it can even be something to be proud of.
.
But Cheng Dalei is still unhappy. Until now, he is not used to sacrifice.
"Geng Xinghe, one day I will kill you with my own hands."
This sentence came to Cheng Dalei's mind.
…
Qianzhou City, Yuyang Tower.
Geng Xinghe rests during the day, and his work often starts at night. When he is not busy during the day, he often warms a pot of old wine, cooks a pot of old meat, and lets Hu Ji dance for him while drinking.
Hu Ji is a good woman. Unlike Jiangnan women who are weak and petite, Hu Ji is as tall as a man, with milk-like skin, firm and delicate calves, and plump breasts.
In Qianzhou City, no matter who sees Geng Xinghe, they will find that he always has a smile on his face, like a rich man who is friendly and makes money.
If anyone were put in Geng Xinghe's position, I believe he would also have a smile on his face every day. How could he not be happy when he had wine, meat, and the most beautiful women in the city every day.
There is another reason that makes Geng Xinghe so happy, a sense of superiority in terms of intelligence. Who would have thought that Red Beard, who was wanted by the entire Yangzhou for bringing trouble to the sea, would be in the city right now, killing everyone in the city.
Gotta go round and round.
dong dong dong
There was a rapid knock on the door, and a voice asked: "Sir, are you in there?"
Geng Xinghe was drinking with Hu Ji. While he was drinking, Hu Ji was hugged by Geng Xinghe. Luo Shang was half untied and her hair was slightly messy. Geng Xinghe was carefully playing with the soft jade on Hu Ji's chest.
He was a little unhappy to be disturbed like this.
"What's up?"
"Things at sea."
Only then did Geng Xinghe let go of Hu Ji, waved to her and said, "You go down first."
Hu Ji passed by a waiter at the door. The waiter carefully closed the door after entering.
"What can't we discuss later?" Geng Xinghe snorted coldly.
"Master, there is news coming from the sea..."
Geng Xinghe nodded slightly: "Looking at the time, there should be some news. Did the second brother get everything done?"
In this secret room, Geng Xinghe showed his majesty as a bandit leader. The man who was talking to him didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Missed."
"What! Say it again!"
"More than fifty brothers were killed. Even the second boss died on the spot. The brothers didn't even find his body."
"What!"
Geng Xinghe suddenly sat up from his chair, with a cruel look in his eyes.
No wonder Geng Xinghe couldn't believe it. He inspected Cheng Da Lei's ship and found that there were only about fifty people on the other side, and the leader was a wine sack and rice bag. He dispatched 200 people for those two ships of food, but the result... was really unpredictable.
.
His own brother died, and Skull Island was severely damaged by this incident. Not only were there a group of pirates from Skull Island at sea, but his brother was originally in charge, so there was no point in worrying about things at sea. But now, he had to go back.
Alas, the good days have come to an end.
…
It took five days to get here, but it took more time to get back because of the headwind. We encountered a storm halfway, and although we got through it safely in the end, we lost another two days.
Time is life. For Cheng Dalei, this sentence is no longer an illusory principle of life, but a real reality before his eyes.
In short, Yangzhou is prosperous, but once you go north, you can see less and less prosperity. When you reach Qingzhou, you can already see the victims fleeing famine. When Cheng Dalei stopped at the dock to rest, he encountered high prices for food.
As people go north, the price of food becomes more and more expensive, and finally reaches an unbelievable level. Some people even send their teenage girls on the boat, all they want is to exchange for a bucket of rice.
Not only people are dying in Youzhou.
To be honest, Cheng Dalei was a little soft-hearted, but in the end he gritted his teeth. He couldn't help the world at the same time, so all he could do at the moment was to take care of himself.
Finally, one night twenty days later, the ship docked at a wild dock outside Luoye City. Cheng Dalei only lasted fifteen days in this operation, because the food in the village could only last for so long. But it came and went.
, but it took a full month.
I don’t know what the situation in the mountains is like now and whether they can hold on.
As soon as the ship docked, Cheng Dalei asked Xu Shenji and Zhao Zilong to go back to the mountain overnight and ask people from the village to collect food. As for Cheng Dalei himself, he stayed on the ship holding an ax and did not even dare to close his eyes.
Youzhou is suffering from drought for thousands of miles, and many people are hungry. They have left two large ships of food here. If the news leaks out, what will happen, the consequences will be disastrous.
