Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2633 Zhou's Value

  The value of this thing is sometimes very strange.

Sometimes it is valuable, but it may be worthless in the eyes of others, so it should be there or not, or like someone’s cat, no one knows the value until the lid is lifted Where exactly?

  Zhou Tai doesn't know at all, he has now become a vortex of multiple struggles.

  Sometimes little people are like this, thinking that they are in control of their destiny, but in fact it is just an illusion.

  Is Zhou Tai considered a small person?

  If Zhou Tai is a big shot for these pawns under Zhou Tai, but to go further, Zhou Tai is just a **** on the chessboard.

  In the afternoon of this day, the scouts returned in a hurry, reported in front of Zhou Tai, and took out a newly drawn simple map and dedicated it to Zhou Tai.

"Lieutenant, last night, two more ships came back. The hulls of the ships are slightly larger than our warships... Five miles away from here, there is a camp. The camp is loosely guarded, but there are still some guards around, small ones. I was worried that I would be discovered, so I didn't get too close. I don't know how many troops are in the camp... But counting the tents in the camp, there are at least two thousand people...』

  Two thousand people are indeed large-scale pirates, no wonder the local villages and counties can't handle it.

   Extenuating circumstances.

   As the scout spoke, Zhou Tai stroked his beard, nodded slowly, and asked, "How about the equipment?" 』

  『Not many have armor, and even if they have armor, most of them are leather armor. ’ replied the scout.

  Zhou Tai nodded, this is in line with the characteristics of a pirate.

  With a group of sailors who don't have much training, sailing is not a big problem, but if you want to fight on the sea, you may not be the opponents of those pirates who float on the sea every day.

  But once you land, it will be different.

  Pirates are pirates after all, and they are not even as good as ordinary pirates on the shore, so we only need to focus on the shore, and then send people to cut off the pirates’ escape route, so it’s not like catching a turtle in a urn, and grabbing it with one’s hand? Now that the pirates have landed, they are looking for their own death. If they can't seize this opportunity, isn't it tantamount to returning the tiger to the mountain?

  Zhou Tai decided after thinking about it, then said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, make meals at the third watch, and set off at the fifth watch!" 』

  Zhou Tai waved his arms, "Tomorrow is the eradication of pirates, Jingping place!" 』

  Two thousand pirates seems to be a terrible number for local counties and townships, but for Zhou Tai, he feels that even if it is doubled, so what?

  It’s just chicken and dog.

   Zhou Tai gave the order, and the soldiers naturally responded and went down to deliver the order.

  Now the situation in Jiangdong is complicated, and sometimes Zhou Tai feels that he is at a loss.

  After much deliberation, Zhou Tai felt that he still needed to show his strength. Only when his strength is strong enough can others not dare to act rashly. Zhou Tai came to the sea trial this time for the same purpose. Simply repelling the pirates is not enough to prove his own value. Only enough gains can prove Zhou Tai's own brave value.

  …\\(￣︶￣)/…

  『Dry and cool! 』

  In the pirate camp, the second leader angrily hacked at a tattered table in front of him.

I don’t know if this table case was looted from that village, but I don’t know if it was shaken in the first place, or if it was loose after being brought over, anyway, the second leader just leaned on it and suddenly collapsed. Leaving to the side, almost causing the second master to gnaw shit, the anger that had been suffocated for a long time immediately made the second master find a vent.

  The little leader in the camp sat aside, not daring to persuade him, but just watched the second leader chopped up the table and made sawdust fly.

  The second leader let out a loud cry, and slashed it down with his knife. The gaped waist knife in his hand was finally overwhelmed and broke in two.

  The second master angrily threw the other half of the knife on the ground, turned around and returned to his seat. "I'm a man who earns his living at sea, not a bandit!" In the end, if you insist on doing camp here, why are you so cool! How long can the fake camp be hidden? It's cool because of the old card! 』

  The little leader didn't dare to respond, he shrank his head and pretended not to hear.

  Zhou Tai is planning to wipe out the pirates, and these pirates are also counting Zhou Tai. Hu Yu tried his best to lure Jiangdong's navy to the peninsula, and even set up a fake camp, just to get Zhou Tai to take the bait.

  There used to be some fishing villages and villages in the surrounding area, and even some traces of farming can be seen, but with the rampant pirates, these fishing villages and villages have become less and less, and they have all migrated to the interior.

In the camp, those tents look like a lot, but in fact, under the tattered rags, there are basically one or two people living at most, so it actually looks like a camp, more like a refugee camp .

The Erdangjia is more or less a big name in the pirate group, but in fact he is also a small person. He doesn't know Hu Yu's specific plan, and he doesn't even know many things. take the bait...

   Or wait and be eaten.

Erdang’s subordinates are all pirates. These people are very slippery on the water surface, but when they touch the ground, many people don’t get used to it at all. The land on the shore feels soft, and it takes a long time to get used to it. Therefore, the second leader was very worried. If they really encountered Jiangdong soldiers, would they be able to stop them?

  But he dared not let the second master disobey Hu Yu's orders. Although he and Hu Yu usually fight in secret, but if it is revealed, he still does not have the ability to turn the tables.

  The little boss next to the second leader also had a sad expression on his face.

  The second leader is a small person, so the small boss is a small person.

  Anyone knows how to fish, and regardless of whether they can catch fish or not, first of all, the bait has the risk of being eaten by fish at any time.

Just when he was feeling aggrieved, he suddenly heard screams from the sentry post on the hillside outside the camp. Immediately, many pirates in the camp also ran up the hillside. He ran out quickly and reached the hillside outside the camp. On the hillside, there were more than a dozen subordinates pointing to the northwest and yelling. The second leader looked in the direction of their fingers and couldn't help opening his mouth slightly.

  On the distant coastline, more than 20 ships are coming here!

  『Jiangdong Navy! 』

"broken! The Jiangdong Army did not go overland! They are going to block us on the shore! The little boss shouted in despair. He was not afraid of the Jiangdong navy at sea, but now they are on land, and the other little pirates around him have the same psychological state as the little boss.

The Erdang family also found a few large ships that he had never seen before in the shadows of those Jiangdong navy ships. He was deeply shocked by the tall masts and wide hulls, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva and went to Run back, "Quick! quick! No more camps! aboard! Get on board! You still have time! 』

  Suddenly, the pirates were like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and they ran out, rushing to the harbor where their ships were docked.

   On the other side of the boat, Zhou Tai stood at the bow with some high spirits.

  From the sight of the new battleship, you can also see the chaotic scene of pirates on the hill.

   Sure enough, they are a bunch of mobs with no ability at all.

  Zhou Tai laughed loudly, "A mere pirate, dare to be arrogant?" Once my army arrives, the pirates will be doomed! 』

  『The captain is wise! The school captain caught the pirate by surprise this time and cut off his way back, surely he can capture the pirate in one fell swoop! The one who spoke was the Marquis who accompanied the army. Although he is not a relative of Zhou Tai, he would not offend Zhou Tai easily. Seeing the current chaos of pirates, he knew that the battle situation was mostly in his favor, so he followed suit. A few words of flattery, hoping to get some military merit.

   Zhou Tai ignored the Marquis, and ordered loudly, "Speed ​​up!" Catch up and block all the **** in the nest! Don't let them get away! 』

  Although it is said that a small boat is easy to turn around, it is not said that a small boat is easy to heave anchor. The natural port where the temporary stop was not big, and the pirates were a little flustered. They bumped into each other when they boarded and disembarked. In addition, the Jiangdong water army was getting closer, and the bed crossbows fired from the warship roared past. It also caused these pirates to panic and disorder more and more.

A bed crossbow flew over and was nailed to the deck of a small boat. Sawdust flew across the sky, and even the small boat made a half-turn. It collided with another boat with a bang, and immediately blocked the waterway. Most of the time, the boat behind also collided with the boat in front, just like the scene of a car accident on the road, and the traffic jam was tight in the blink of an eye.

  『Push away! Push the boat away! 』

The little pirate leader yelled frantically. If there is a gap around the two ships, it is not 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 run into the ship over there, and with the Jiangdong navy pressing every step of the way, there are a few pirates with the talent of calmness, who can know what is going on with this messy ship. Only by moving can it be untied in an orderly manner?

  『I can’t go anymore! ashore! ashore! The second master shouted, seeing that the momentum was wrong, he fled immediately, "Everyone go ashore!" Run to the mountains! 』

  Although they are pirates and are not used to living on the shore, but if they are still on the water and cannot run away, after facing the pressure of Jiangdong Louship, they will become living targets on the Louzhu!

   Pirates have never had the idea of ​​swearing to the death to resist, being tenacious and unyielding, if they can’t beat them, then run away!

   Even if it is inconvenient and unaccustomed to go ashore, it is better than being crushed in the water by Jiangdonglou boats and shot on the water!

  So the pirates jumped into the water like ducks entering the water, and fled to the shore.

  Jiangdong Navy, as long as they have some experience, they know that the pirates in front of them have no resistance at all...

  『Lieutenant, such thieves, why do you need the lieutenant to do the trick? The Marquis Jun looked at him hotly, swallowed his saliva, cupped his hands and said, "It's better, it's better to let the humble official go, and I will definitely defeat these thieves in one fell swoop and behead them!" 』

  Zhou Tai chuckled, and ignored the request of the Marquis, "This school captain takes the lead in all battles, big or small. How can you just sit in the back and watch Erlang fight to death?" You are living on the boat, just guard the boat without losing it! No violation! If the ship is damaged, you are the only one to ask! 』

  After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he took his people off the boat, changed to the boat, and went ashore with his men, and went straight to the fleeing pirates.

  The landing operations in this era are relatively simple, and the composition of arms and logistics requirements are not high. As far as beach grabbing is concerned, it is far less cruel than later generations, and there is even no sense of beach grabbing at all. Not far from the shore, a few soldiers jumped off the bow of the boat, and then pulled the boat closer to the shore in the water.

  Zhou Tai followed the follow-up boat, and quickly landed on the shore, leading his soldiers forward to pursue...

  …╰(￣▽￣)╭…

   The battlefield is far away.

   A three-barrel boat appeared from the coastline at some point, and then many ship masts appeared. After a while, there were 20 or 30 boats, like a group of sharks smelling blood, breaking through the waves and heading straight!

  If it is said that the military lords who stayed on the ship had more snacks, or the soldiers on the watchtower were more experienced, maybe the situation would be different.

  When Hu Yu came out aggressively with his men, all the soldiers left by Zhou Tai on the ship were focused on the shore, and no one looked to the other side to take another look...

   Afterwards, just like Zhou Tai and the others blocked the pirate's second leader and they fought, Hu Yu blocked Zhou Tai's left-behind troops to fight.

  Experienced and courageous soldiers, Zhou Tai took them ashore, and the rest were the novices.

  The sudden situation made these recruits flustered and unsteady on the deck. The things they usually trained seemed to be forgotten in the depths of their minds, and they couldn't remember them.

  The military marquis who stayed behind yelled and asked his soldiers to shoot arrows at the approaching pirate ship.

But in the chaos around, the arrows were light and fluttering, and the accuracy was not enough at all. They flew out in a mess, and when they were blown by the sea wind, they didn't know where they were tilted, and then the pirates laughed more and more, laughing and laughing. Some people even turned around, exposed their buttocks and pointed chrysanthemums at these rookie sailors in Jiangdong, which was really humiliating.

  Hu Yu looked at it and laughed loudly, "Sun thief! The debt owed to me should be paid off! Collect some interest today! 』

   Speaking of it, Hu Yu really has something to do with the Sun family...

   But that's old stuff.

  Now Hu Yu is getting older.

  Hu Yu also wanted to give his career at sea a glorious end, instead of becoming a loser in an internal battle and being thrown into the sea. Therefore, Hu Yu not only wanted to clean up the Jiangdong army, but also cheated the second leader by the way. Who is the second leader who is always asking this and that in his daily life, making it seem that Hu Yu's plan may go wrong at any time.

The cable of the small boat hanging behind the big ship was cut off directly, and the yelling pirates manipulated the small boat and got directly into the queue of the Jiangdong Navy. How much lethality there is, but the Jiangdong novice who is already a little confused can't take care of both left and right.

  The pirates on the shore are a group of ducks, while the pirates who fight well on the water are a group of piranhas!

   A lot of bright red appeared in the seawater, and then quickly spread into bright red, light red, and finally merged with the rest of the seawater.

  The small boats in the early stage disrupted the formation of the Jiangdong army, and the follow-up large ships directly crashed into the formation of the navy that had not yet fully turned, exposing the loopholes in the flanks!

  The wood squeezed, making a toothache sound, and the cast iron ram broke into the cabin, immediately causing the hull to tilt, and then quickly began to sink...

   The more brutal hand-to-hand combat of jumping gangs started, with the sound of weapons colliding and screams.

The ears of the military marquis who stayed behind were filled with crazed shouts and the screams of wounded soldiers, and all eyes were brandishing assassination weapons. In front of him, a pirate with a long harpoon charged forward, and the shining harpoon went straight to his face. poke!

The Marquis knew that due to the up-and-down vibration of the ship's hull, it was difficult to achieve precise blocking, so he prepared to attack first, while dodging the harpoon stabbing towards his face, while counterattacking at the same time, piercing the sword through the pirate body of!

  It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is bad.

At the time of the staggering, the ship where the Marquis was on was bumped by the ship over there, and everyone on the deck shook suddenly. Not only did the Marquis’ sword fail to penetrate into the pirate’s body, but it was also hit by the pirate’s harpoon. It slashed fiercely at the shoulder and arm, and as the armor bounced, the harpoon's thorns drew a **** mouth.

  Junhou yelled and fell backwards. The surrounding guards hurried forward, and the general took cover and led him to the back line.

   Seeing this situation, the pirates became more and more violent, screaming and rushing up madly.

The military marquis 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 in sea water or something, and he was shaking from pain. Can't hold it.

Without the commander, the novice sailors in Jiangdong can only parry. People are constantly injured and fell to the ground. In addition, the deck is different from that on land. Sporadic pirates climb up from other directions at any time. The flanks even launched a sneak attack on the Jiangdong Navy from behind...

  『Retreat! Retreat to ship number two! The Marquis clutched his wound, dripping with blood, and while staggering forward, he ordered, "Let all ships weigh anchor immediately and crash out!" 』

  Before, the Jiangdong soldiers laughed at the pirates fleeing one after another, but now it is the turn of the Jiangdong navy to be ridiculed by the pirates...

  The same narrow waterway is also not easy to turn.

  『Then... what about the captain? The captain is still on shore! ’ a soldier shouted from the side.

  Junhou didn’t know if it was because of the pain, or because of some other reason, when he passed the soldier, he looked unstable, and he jumped, and immediately knocked the soldier off the side of the ship...

"ah! Hurry up and say hello, let someone save him! The Marquis Jun called out, but did not stop in his footsteps, "Others follow me!" This time, if the captain hadn't underestimated the enemy and was ambushed by the enemy, why did he come here? ! This ship is the captain's leading ship, and it fell into the enemy's hands because the captain left without permission and chased after the enemy bandits! And I will fight **** battles, as long as I protect the No. 2 ship, then not only will I be innocent, but I will also be meritorious! go, go! 』

  Zhou Tai took away most of the soldiers on the leader ship. He was already short of manpower, and the pirates were obviously aiming at the leader ship. If he continued to delay, he might die on the leader ship!

If a ship is a floating territory, then it is indeed like what the Marquis said, the leader ship is Zhou Tai’s territory, losing the leader ship is equivalent to Zhou Tai’s loss of land, and the Marquis is the leader of the second ship, so he only needs to keep it. If the No. 2 ship is not lost, there will naturally be tall people to resist when the sky falls...

   As for other things, the military marquis can't control it.
