Chapter 221: Attack
As the day began to dawn, the group of pirates traveled a mile, and from a distance they saw a slightly raised hill on the left side of the slit at the mouth of the sea, a camp was set up, the camp area was not large, and you could faintly see that there were wooden fences around, and some adobe gravel piles were piled up, only two meters high.

This section of the sea is the narrowest, the river is no more than seven or eight meters wide, and a boat can barely get in, but the speed is not fast, and those who pass by are immediately within the range of attack.
A bandit understood it, remembered the words of the second leader, and shouted: "Brothers, this is our home, let these thieves and soldiers occupy it, kill it!"
"Kill!" the group of pirates remembered their homeland, and immediately shouted and pounced.
Seeing the pirates getting closer and closer, Pei Ziyun said, "Archers prepare!"
Immediately thirty archers were ready.
"Fifty steps!"
"Thirty steps!"
"Ten steps!"
rushed closer to ten steps, and could see the hideous face on the opposite side, Pei Ziyun said, "Let's go!"
"Boom!" followed by a sharp whistling, a rain of arrows fell, and in an instant, a splash of blood, and seven or eight people in front of them immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing this, some of the pirates were frightened and hesitated, and the bandits shouted encouragement: "Don't be afraid, think of your gold and silver treasures, think of your family!"
"Kill, rush over and kill the officers and soldiers. ”
The pirates screamed and continued to charge.
"Shoot again!"
"Woohoo!"
Seven or eight more people were hit by arrows and fell, and the bandits reacted very quickly, and when they saw it, they were startled, and as soon as they lowered their heads, an arrow swept by with a turban.
The bandit was frightened into a cold sweat, and with a wave of his long knife, he struck out an arrow, but the force of the shot also made his body shake, unsteady, and suddenly revealed the empty door.
"Whew!"
A mist of blood rushed out of the bandit's shoulder, and the man fell out, but he was extremely strong, turned around and fled.
"The captain has fled, the captain has fled!" As soon as they saw this, the rest of the pirates turned around and fled.
"Three shots!"
"Whoa!" the fleeing pirates pounced on five or six more, and were shot in the back.
"Go out, mend the knife!" Pei Ziyun tried it for a while, was very satisfied, and ordered, and suddenly a group of people went out, moaning and stabbing at the ground looming one after another, making a disgusting muffled sound, and a red trickle silently.
Chen Jin came up at this time, saw more than a dozen lives in the blink of an eye, and he didn't lose a single one, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that this battalion is simpler, or the effect would be better......
Pei Ziyun shook his head: "I did it on purpose, if the camp is built into a cottage, the thief on the opposite side is not an idiot, how can he really bump into it?"
"Only now that this camp is poorly built, it seems that it can be captured for some lives, so it can attract pirates to make a desperate bet. ”
"The thief leader just now, I deliberately ordered to shoot only on the shoulder, let him go back to keep the letter, saying that my stockade can be defeated, attract the enemy, and try to consume the enemy's living force here, otherwise, thousands of people escaped, even if it is a rabble, it will be a disaster!"
Then he commanded: "After a while, wake up everyone, part of the fleet to prepare, and once the enemy loses a great loss, the battleship will immediately pounce along the mouth - the same slow entry and exit, the pirates will be attacked by us, and the battleship will not be attacked." ”
"Yes!" Someone immediately conveyed the order.
This entry and exit may seem redundant, but in fact, the mystery of the art of war lies in the effective mobilization of the enemy to fight in his designated position, and the creation of fighters to annihilate in one fell swoop.
Chen Jin listened to the order, pondered for a long time, and then figured it out, and suddenly looked at Pei Ziyun with different eyes.
"What if the enemy isn't fooled?"
"Didn't we also say that the enemy has no food and no water, and they will disperse in a few days, but the finishing procedures are troublesome, and they have to encircle and suppress the rest one by one. ”
"If you are fooled, you can be annihilated at once. ”
Chen Jin nodded silently when he heard this, and then said: "It's a pity that this place is too peaceful, if there is a dangerous ambush, it will be better." ”
"Master Chen, this is your scholar's opinion. Without waiting for Pei Ziyun to speak, Cai Yuanzhen's voice came from behind, his eyes were full of red silk, and he obviously hadn't slept all night, so he greeted him: "My lord, I have urged the fleet, once the time is ripe, give a pillar of incense time, and we can sail out." ”
After speaking, he didn't move, turned back to Chen Jin and said: "Scholars always like to take risks, ambushes, and surprise attacks, but think about it, this island is only a township, and pirates have lived here for a few years.
"Only by setting up camp and fighting a tough battle on this road can we be the most effective. ”
"When the emperor fought the world, I followed Zhaoguo Gong to fight, and it was so fast, ruthless, and accurate, and it was called a smooth fight. ”
"If you give command to a scholar, you will be exhausted by several times the death. ”
"A soldier is not afraid of a strong enemy, and what he is most afraid of is this kind of command. Cai Yuanzhen's face was long, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, a little steep, and he usually had very few expressions, and sighed at this time: "The soldier has already given up his life, but the death is in vain, which is the most depressing." ”
Chen Jin was not angry: "I'm originally a scholar, I can't command blindly!"
said and smiled, but there was a pang in his heart, Cai Yuanzhen and Pei Ziyun had only known each other for a few days, but they were already convinced, this is not just Pei Ziyun's generosity, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be divided.
What's more, Pei Ziyun commands properly, and if he knows the mystery of it, he will be of indescribable use, and the people who are soldiers are very sensitive to this, and the reason is very simple - this command means that he will live and win.
On the contrary, the command is messy, full of mistakes and omissions, even if it is rewarded, which is more important than your own life?
A soldier is a soldier who has been trained to fight, but he is not a wooden man, he is not hard-hearted, so he instinctively follows the person who can bring him a way to live and win.
"Hey, now that we know the cohesion of the real generals against the soldiers, it is no wonder that the court and the governor are so suspicious of those generals who are really talented. ”
"In the past dynasties, there were few generals who died well. ”
"If you are a civilian official, even if you are talented, but officialdom is not a battlefield, and from time to time when life and death are at stake, you will naturally not be able to produce the cohesion of soldiers and generals, so you can rest assured. ”
"No matter how great your ability and merit are, even if you become the prime minister, you can deal with it with a single edict. ”
Therefore, the court trusted the civil officials. ”
This thought was a bit chilling and a bit rebellious, Chen Jin immediately retracted this idea and looked into the distance.
"Thief leader, are you coming?" Chen Jin finally muttered.
Under the early morning sun, Pei Ziyun looked peaceful, but his lips tightened, and he was silent with a slight smile.
Chen Jin followed his gaze and saw the pale cyan sea, fifty ships leaning together, and there was a faint sound of quarreling.
"Fifty boats, fifteen hundred, more than we expected of a thousand!"
"The thief's remaining strength is not small!"
coast
At this time, the ships were all leaning, and on one deck, a voice was heard.
The bandit was saying, "I can see clearly, this officer and soldier are encamped, and it happens to be on the narrowest knoll at the mouth of the sea, and our ship will be attacked if we enter it." ”
"The thieves are really cunning, if they stay on the ship, we will besiege together, and with how much strength they can have to fight for three or four battles in a row for a day and a night, they will be defeated immediately. The old tripartite patted his leg and said hatefully.
Francis glared angrily and continued to ask, "You got close to the camp, did you see clearly, how many people were in it?"
"You can see clearly, half of them are civilians, and there are no more than three hundred people who stand up to fight!" In fact, there are only two hundred and fifty people, but the bandits cannot be accurate to this step.
"I think it's credible. At this time, a Taoist stood up, this person looked forty years old, his face was full of dry and lean meat, coughed, and said: "Although the big boss only has three hundred people left, he has a samurai team from the Shangyue Domain, and a team sent by the Hou of Jibei, which is a complete establishment, fifty people!"
"There is also a good location for the cottage, and if the enemy wants to win, it is very reasonable to have at least three hundred killed and wounded, and the remaining three hundred soldiers who can fight. ”
"Now is the time when the officers and soldiers are at their weakest, and in a few days, the wounded soldiers will recover, but I am afraid that there will be a few hundred more combatable soldiers, and it will be difficult to fight at that time. ”
He said and groaned: "But this camp is indeed cleverly built, and it will be hard or lose a lot. ”
Wandering back and forth on the deck for a few times, Fang Ji's face sank: "If you don't fight, how can you explain to the eldest brother, how to explain to the Shangyue Domain, how to explain to the Marquis of Jibei, how to explain to the dead brother." ”
"I have made up my mind, even if I fight for my life, I have to capture this camp and kill the officers and soldiers without leaving any chickens and dogs!"
In a moment, the desolate horn sounded, and all the water thieves knew that this was the command of the master who was determined to fight hard, and suddenly they came to the shore one by one, and the tide poured onto the beach.
"It's coming!" Smelling the sound of the horn, Pei Ziyun stood on an earthen platform and looked at the beach, only to see a group of water thieves coming towards the camp, they were not neatly organized, but there was also a basic array, rolling in, slowly concentrated at five hundred meters of the camp.
"Fifteen hundred!"
Seeing that there were thousands of water thieves, Pei Ziyun's expression was calm, and when he looked carefully, he saw that it was not a team battalion system, but it was basically still organized into pieces, exuding a murderous aura.
In the middle stands a tall banner with the word "square" on it, hunting and flying in the wind.
"A thief is the king's preparation. ”
"This is really a wonderful thing, the Fang family's more than ten years of career as a widow has formed a bit of law and organization, in fact, if you go further, why not be a dragon species?"
"It's just that now Da Xu has leveled the world, but there is no chance to turn the clouds and rain again. ”
"Kill!" At this moment, war drums suddenly sounded from the bandits' array, and the thieves shouted in unison, shouting and charging forward, and like the officers and soldiers, they had no shields, but they held planks.
"Ready!" Pei Ziyun felt a pang in his heart, there are thousands of sailors, and there are only fifty real archers, and after losses and injuries, there are only thirty people who can draw the bow now.
"Projectile!" This time, he couldn't get too close, and with this command, the bowstring vibrate, and with a "boom", a piece of arrows flew by, making a breaking sound, and converged into one, instantly reaching the high altitude diagonally, and falling straight down with all his might.
Due to the heavy tip of the arrow, it automatically accelerates when it falls.
"Lift the board!" shouted someone from the thieves, and in an instant the arrows rained down.
The sound of "tuk tuk" continued, and the arrow feathers were nailed to the wooden board and swayed, but naturally there was a gap, and only a few muffled snorts were heard, but it was not covered in place, and several thieves screamed and fell.
