Shao Dao
On the southwest shore, the rain became lighter and fell with the wind. Dozens of torches were lit on the shore, and supplies were being carried back and forth.
"Quick, quick, get all the supplies on the ship quickly." The corps leader was supervising the soldiers to transport all the captured items to the ship, while the team leader further away was even more happy and shouting loudly.
Pei Ziyun got off the boat, and a team came forward to report: "Sir, if you find the people farming, can you take them away with them?"
"Don't take them away for the time being. Let these people transport the goods without harming them." Pei Ziyun ordered.
"It's my lord." Qi Zheng responded.
This sentry island is not big, about thirty square kilometers in Pei Ziyun's opinion. Hundreds of Japanese pirates were captured on this coast. At this time, a group of people were pressing down and wanted to behead them all.
Chen Jin couldn't bear it at this time. He stood beside Pei Ziyun and said, "Master Pei, these Japanese pirates have responded to the state at the right time and are at the mercy of the imperial court. It is ominous to kill prisoners."
After hearing this, Cai Yuanzhen, a rough man, said: "These Japanese pirates should all be killed and deserve to die. If we don't kill them, there won't be many places to lock them up on the ship."
"Master Chen, these are Japanese pirates. I want you to spare these people's lives, but to prevent these Japanese pirates from fighting our army again, just cut off the hamstrings." Pei Ziyun sighed and said compassionately.
Hearing Pei Ziyun's words, Cai Yuanzhen was shocked. This was a desperate plan. These Japanese pirates had picked off their hamstrings and became useless people. They were either raised or had to be killed by themselves. The morale of the army was shaken, and he secretly admired in his heart: " Scholars are still poisonous!”
"Come on, if you don't kill these Japanese pirates, they will all be injured." Pei Ziyun turned around and ordered.
"Yes, sir." A soldier beside Pei Ziyun stepped forward.
The sky gradually became brighter, and in the dark night, only screams were heard. These Japanese pirates had their hamstrings cut off, which made people's hair stand on end.
Pei Ziyun didn't seem to hear, but pointed at the Japanese pirate ship and asked, "Cai Qianhu, who is faster among these Japanese pirate ships and our warships?"
"Japanese ships are small and still use backward mortise and tenon technology. Although our ship is big, it can still be slightly faster." Cai Yuanzhen said proudly after hearing this.
"If you're slightly faster, why can't you catch up so many times?"
"Sir, we can't see more than thirty miles from the sea. As long as the enemy evades for half an hour (one hour) in advance, it will be difficult to catch up."
Pei Ziyun nodded, thoughtfully, when a corps commander came forward and reported: "Sir Pei, the goods have been moved, please give instructions."
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun smiled dumbly: "Very good, I'll wait a little longer. It's going to be daybreak. Let's go before dawn."
"Also, burn down all the buildings on the island." Pei Ziyun glanced at the houses on the island and said coldly.
"Yes, sir." Dozens of sergeants used torches to drive the people out. The torches were thrown away. For a moment, the island was ablaze, and even the rain could not suppress it.
"Raise the sails and set sail." Pei Ziyun said.
At this time, Chen Jin was surprised: "Master Pei, now that the island is occupied, these Japanese pirates are vulnerable, why should they retreat
Pei Ziyun smiled and said to Cai Yuanzhen, "Cai Qianhu, just go and deliver the order."
"Yes, sir." After only one night, Cai Yuanzhen was convinced and immediately turned around to give the order.
"Why, there is a reason!" Pei Ziyun looked at Chen Jin and smiled when he saw that Chen Jin was confused and the Taoist following him also listened.
At this time, I heard Cai Yuanzhen shouting: "Quick, quick, raise the sail, send the flag, let's return."
"We defeated an island. This is our record. The Japanese pirates are powerful, so we must be careful." Pei Ziyun said calmly.
"Hey, didn't Duke Xie Yuang say that our army is not afraid of Japanese pirates?" Chen Jin saw the point and asked.
"If you are not afraid, you cannot sacrifice in vain." Pei Ziyun replied, explaining: "Now, what we have to do is to take the initiative."
"We have to make unexpected moves in and out, and we have to make moves in and out unexpectedly, so that the enemy can't figure out our true and false positions."
Cai Yuanzhen sent an order over. Hearing these words, he nodded repeatedly: "I really admire Mr. Jie Yuan's maturity. He attacked an island with lightning speed and then withdrew before the enemy could encircle him."
Chen Jin was thoughtful and then laughed after a while: "Jie Yuangong is a great talent, so I will just wait for the good news."
After Chen Jin finished speaking, he walked towards the cabin and ignored the matter.
At this time, several Songyun Sect disciples came forward and approached Pei Ziyun: "Master!"
"I will remember your great achievements and reward you when we return." Pei Ziyun said.
Seeing Chen Jin leaving, the leading Taoist asked in a low voice: "Master, we are not here to ask for rewards, but the question Master Chen asked just now, is this really the only intention?"
"Haha, no, it's not just that. If I just withdraw without waiting for the enemy to encircle me, I can withdraw in the middle of the night. Why should I stay until dawn?" Pei Ziyun said this, looking into the distance without explaining any more, leaving only a few Taoists. Full of fog.
Not only for the sake of mystery, but for the sake of confidentiality, in this world where communication talismans are developed, who knows if there is a secret room in his team
It was dawn. Although the sky was still dark and gloomy, at least the rain had stopped for a while. Pei Ziyun squinted his eyes and looked at the blood-red sea water marked by the rising sun. "Get on the boat and set sail!"
"Yes!" After a moment, after getting on the boat, Pei Ziyun stood upright. Baihu and the captain of the soldiers took a step back and stood with their swords pressed like nails. The soldiers lined up on both sides. In an instant, there were many flags and armors, solemn and majestic, and trumpets. Amidst the sound, ten warships returned carrying the loot.
Leave for half an hour
"What? These people have all gone back? Didn't they attack the island at all?" Dozens of ships landed on the island. Looking at the burning village, a Japanese pirate roared angrily: "Damn it, damn it, we burned the island."
"Three leaders, it's not good." A man stepped forward.
Hearing this, the three leaders looked at the Japanese pirates with ferocious faces, and asked coldly: "What's wrong? You are so impudent and don't go to put out the fire."
"That's right, the three leaders, when the officers and soldiers left, they burned the island. They also cut off the hamstrings of the captured brothers and threw them on the island. They said they care about people and save their lives." When the three leaders of the Japanese pirates heard this, they pulled out their swords. The Japanese pirates trembled in fright, but they saw that the sword struck the short tree on this side hard, and it immediately broke in two.
At this time, another Japanese pirate came forward and reported: "Three leaders, the officers and soldiers also left some dirty words."
"Damn it, damn it." The three leaders of the Japanese pirates said angrily, "Chase them, chase them immediately."
"Yes, three leaders." The little leader of the Japanese pirates said tremblingly.
A Taoist man stepped forward to stop the Japanese pirates: "How many people are there in the army?"
The Japanese pirate quickly said: "Military advisor, we have found out that there are only ten large ships."
"Are they all there?" the Taoist thought.
"Yes, all of them!"
The three leaders cursed after hearing this: "Go quickly and tell the people below to leave ten boats to rescue the wounded and resettle them. The others will follow me. We only need to entangle these ten boats this time. The boss and The second child will catch up immediately."
Then he turned to face the Taoist and said: "You immediately tell the boss and second brother the information, and tell them that we cannot allow these thieves to kill and return calmly. We must catch them all."
"yes!"
sea surface
Cai Yuanzhen stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the petrels in the sky, seeming to be sniffing something.
Seeing Cai Yuanzhen's appearance, Pei Ziyun was a little surprised: "What is Cai Qianhu doing like this?"
After hearing this, Cai Yuanzhen waited for a while and said, "Master Pei, the wind is blowing again. There must be another storm."
Just as Pei Ziyun was about to speak, he heard the sergeant on the observation deck suddenly shout: "Quick, quick, we see the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are coming to attack. They are going to catch up."
Pei Ziyun was startled for a moment, then smiled: "It's good to come."
He raised his head and asked to the observation deck: "How many ships are there in the enemy's camp?"
"Sir, there are more than twenty boats, but they are all Japanese pirate boats (small boats)," the sergeant on the observation deck said as he looked at it.
Pei Ziyun laughed and said, "I'm guessing, so we all slow down and wait for these Japanese pirate ships to catch up."
Hearing this, Cai Yuanzhen was startled: "Master Pei, aren't you going back? Why are you still entangled with these Japanese pirates?"
"Withdraw without waiting for the enemy to encircle me. I can do it in the middle of the night. Why do we need dawn? Even if we want the enemy to pursue in a hurry, we can't leave too much time for the main force of the Japanese pirates to join together. The time is right now!" Pei Ziyun held his sword and said, With some sneer.
"Sir, what do you mean, we give the enemy time to react, but also have no time to merge, so only the fast boats or the nearest fleet can catch up, and then we slow down, swerve to attack the sea ships, and catch all these Japanese pirates in one fell swoop?" Cai Yuanzhen immediately Understand, I asked.
"Yes, now these Japanese pirates have given me a chance. We have withdrawn from the Japanese pirate encirclement, and it is the right time to attack the Japanese pirates." Pei Ziyun said, now these Japanese pirate ships can be seen.
Pei Ziyun glanced at the Japanese pirate ship and said: "Kill, kill no one, leave no one behind, and be fast. My estimate is not bad. There will be pursuers to follow soon. We cannot give the Japanese pirates a chance to encircle us. We must rush here." Killed in one fell swoop in time.”
"And God is really helping me in this wind and rain!"
"Kill!" Cai Yuanzhen, who understood clearly, ordered loudly, his voice was heart-breaking, and there was a sudden wind.
"No, the officers and soldiers are running against each other. Quick, quick, turn quickly!" On a boat, the leader of the Japanese pirates changed his face and shouted.
The wind was blowing on the sea at this time, and these speedboats were about to turn, but the battleships suddenly changed speed and collided with them.
"No, no." The Japanese pirate blocking the front exclaimed.
The battleship cast a shadow, instantly shrouding the Japanese pirate ship in the shadow, and then crushed it. In the eyes of these Japanese pirates, the ships continued to enlarge and collided with each other.
"Boom!" The keel flipped over and fell to the ground.
"Don't be afraid. Go ahead and kill them. The officers and soldiers are not as experienced as us in sea combat. Kill them all." The Japanese pirates were quite tough, so they charged towards the warship.
"Kill!" The Japanese pirates who rushed forward arrived on the deck, and several spears were stabbed at them. Only a muffled grunt was heard, and the Japanese pirates who attacked fiercely and fiercely fell to the ground.
The first Japanese pirate fell down, and more Japanese pirates climbed up, killing each other for a while.
"Docking, lock them with anchors, don't let them escape, I'm going up now!" Pei Ziyun shouted, Cai Yuanzhen waved his hand, and the ship docked.
