Chapter 59: The Final Battle of Changshan Island
"My lord!" In the evening, Wang Shuo and Hao Dazhi boarded Changshan Island to report to Xu Chen.
Looking at the cottage that had become a ruin, recalling the loud noise they heard outside the island just now, the two of them looked at Xu Chen at this time, their eyes were full of doubts and a hint of fear. And the two also found that except for an unconscious teenager lying next to Xu Chen, there was no prisoner or a corpse around, which is self-evident.
Two loud noises in a row that did not know the truth, and then connected with the ruins in front of them and Xu Chen's cold eyes, neither of them was a dull person, and they would naturally have their own guesses in their hearts, but no matter what the content of the guess was, it would only increase the awe of the two of them for the little adult in front of them.
"The two of you are here, have you caught any fish that slipped through the net?" Xu Chen didn't care about the two of them's probing and confused eyes, and asked calmly.
"My lord is wise and powerful, and he swept away the gangsters with the power of thunder, and the water bandits don't even have a chance to escape, so naturally there will be no place for us. Hearing Xu Chen's inquiry, Hao Dazhi immediately replied with a flattering face, he was really afraid that Xu Chen would investigate their faults now, the few people who secretly let go just now were all families who had usually dealt with each other, if they offended their own little catcher, don't mix.
Xu Chen didn't care about these things, although he wanted to let them live in order not to offend the people of these families. Now that everyone has been killed, it is fortunate that they will be killed again, but this time they can't take the lead by themselves. Peng Ze will be his own person in the future, and he is not afraid of anything when he sees it, but the two people in front of him are not the same as himself, so let them do it later. After all, being seen killing yourself is not the same as being guessed to have killed someone.
"Fourth, are the big guys okay?" Xu Chen asked with concern.
"Don't worry, big brother, the brothers are all suffering skin injuries, and it won't take long to get better after taking medicine, take a break, and it's not a problem to fight again." Zhou Kang could naturally understand what Xu Chen meant.
"It is better to pay attention, the brothers are in good health. Xu Chen said.
"Lao Liu, how is the trebuchet replenished?" Xu Chen turned around and asked Lao Liu, who came with the boat.
"If you go back to Gongzi, there is a bamboo forest behind the mountain, and the things have been replenished. Old Liu Tou bowed down and replied, seeing Xu Chen's actions with his own eyes had made this old man full of awe for his master.
"That's good, Zheng Tai went to load the things on the ship and prepare for the battle. Xu Chen ordered Zheng Tai again.
"Third child, take out all the dry food, let everyone eat and rest well, and it is estimated that there will be a big battle at night. Xu Chen said.
"Yes!" the crowd took the order.
After a while, everyone in the open space of the cottage became busy.
At the moment, Zheng Tai reported that three large ships were approaching a few miles away from Changshan Island, and those who should come will always come......
"All of them, stand up, board the ship, and prepare for battle!" Not only the teenagers, but even Peng Ze's side, Wang Shuo, and Hao Dazhi were also startled by Xu Chen's sudden order, and subconsciously stood up.
Everyone rushed to the dock and boarded their respective ships, Xu Chen was on the official ship this time, and in the face of these big families, he still had to pull the big flag of the official government.
The other party came with three two-story ships, which were of the same structure as Xu Chen's official ships, all of which were produced by Hongzhou Shipyard. On Xu Chen's side, in addition to the two official ships, there are still three converted fishing boats, as well as more than a dozen boats that Peng Ze usually uses to plunder. Not to mention anything else, just the comparison of the ships can clearly see that Xu Chen's side has a great chance of winning.
Wang Yuan: The information they collected was very scarce, and the people who fled back were all at the dock, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they did not return to the cottage and fled back directly in the boats and bamboo rafts that they had privately hidden. So Wang Yuan and the others took it for granted that Li San and they were still sticking to the cottage, and with Li San's hundreds of people as internal responses, it was naturally enough to send only three ships. Another important reason is that after all, it is taboo to keep warships privately, and Wang Yuan and his family don't have many ships in their hands.
After all, judging from the information transmitted from the past, the cottage built by the second master was very strong, not only to prevent officers and soldiers, but also to prevent Peng Ze and them. With such a perfect defense system, Li San and they could naturally hold out for a long time. It's just that they didn't expect that Li San didn't dare to divide his troops rashly because of his lack of prestige, so he gave up the outer defense line, and was attacked by Xu Chen's new weapons to break through the cottage.
The two sides gradually approached, and the three ships of the other side were also a little timid when they saw that the nearly twenty ships on the opposite side were also a little timid, and slowly stopped.
"Listen to the ship on the other side, this official is the envoy sent by Lord Taishou to Changshan Island, at present, the periphery of Changshan Island has been under martial law, no ship is allowed to approach, you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will blame the official for being ruthless!" Xu Chen said loudly.
"What kind of official is this, brothers, have you ever heard of such an official?" a strange voice sounded from one of the leading ships.
"Haven't heard of it, what is this?"
"No, big brother, don't listen to him. ”
Suddenly, a group of people chimed in.
"Haha, see, we haven't heard of you, the bird officer. The voice just now laughed loudly, and then said: "The little baby opposite, grandpa, I won't talk to you, let go quickly, Lao Tzu is only here to pick up the brothers on the island this time, and he won't bully you." ”
"Hehe, brother on the island, are you talking about Li San?" Xu Chen smiled and asked.
"Just get out of the way, grandpa, I won't bother with you, otherwise...... Hey, hey!" the man on the other side let out a wicked laugh at the right time.
"No need, Li San and they have been taken down by the official and sent to Lord Taishou, if you want to pick up people, go to Lord Taishou!" When Xu Chen said this, his eyes looked at Wang Shuo beside him with a playful expression.
When Wang Shuo heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scold Xu Chen in his heart for being shameless, Li San and they are probably all dead and bones at this time, what are you letting my family detain, Li San's soul? But he also knew that this was Xu Chen forcing him to be perverted, thinking of the two mysterious loud noises, Wang Shuo could only nod helplessly.
"Hehe, boy, do you treat grandpa and me as idiots? Acquaintances quickly get out of the way, otherwise grandpa I'll knock your head off!" This man naturally won't believe it, Xu Chen's words can only make him more convinced that Li San and they are still trapped on the island. It is impossible to defeat the nearly twenty ships on the opposite side, but it is still very certain to break through their defense line and land on Changshan Island not far away, since the kid on the opposite side does not know each other, then he has to make a move.
The man gave the order to attack, and the three ships slowly started to rush towards Xu Chen and them in the shape of a "product".
Xu Chen saw that the person opposite really didn't give up, so he naturally didn't bother to say anything, he turned to Wang Shuo and said: "Commander Wang, this official is a little tired, this battle will be under your command, what do you think?"
Can Wang Shuo still refuse? He had no choice but to nod and reply: "Please rest assured, the general will definitely live up to your trust." ”
"That's good. After Xu Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the cabin, followed by Chai Qi and two heavily armed teenagers, after all, the sword has no eyes, and anything can happen in a chaotic battle.
"Commander, what should we do?" watched Xu Chen enter the cabin, and one of Wang Shuo's subordinates asked.
"What else can I do? Kill them all!" Wang Shuo said this, with a vicious murderous aura on his face.
"But they are from the royal family! Didn't your lord tell us to take care of them when he came?" said the subordinate just now.
"I can't care about it so much, these fools who don't have the courage will only cause trouble for the adults, and they must not let the people of Yuzhang County know about the affairs between the Wang family and the adults!" Wang Shuo said sternly, looking at the hesitant eyes of his subordinates, Wang Shuo said with a frank face: "Don't worry, I will personally go to the adults to ask for guilt after I go back!"
That's right, although even the people in Yuzhang County are spreading the news that Yuzhang Wang's family went to Taishou Wang Xian to confess their ancestors, but that is only a little pastime after tea and dinner for the citizens. Although the children of the family occasionally make fun of this, in fact, they don't believe it in their hearts.
The Wang family is a big family in the upper line of Yuzhang County, and it has also taken root in the land of Gansu for hundreds of years, and it is a part of the local traditional wealthy family. The name of a so-called Taiyuan royal family only has some influence on ordinary people, and these families with a long heritage also have a heritage and pride that are not weaker than them. What's more, with the development of overseas trade in recent years, these families in the south have become stronger and stronger, and they look down on the "old farmers" in the north who can only dig in the soil.
In this case, how could Wang Yuan hug Wang Xian's thigh? That thigh was not as thick as his hand!
But what these families of Yuzhang didn't expect was that Wang Yuan, who was peaceful on the surface, had ambitions that ordinary people couldn't imagine, he was unwilling to just be a low-ranking family, he wanted his Yuzhang Wang family to be above all the families, and even let people all over the world only think of his Yuzhang Wang family when they mentioned the Wang family, not the Taiyuan Wang family.
This ambition has prompted him to continue to do something behind his back over the years, and getting involved in Changshan Island is just a smoke bomb he throws out, and he wants to make everyone think that his Wang Yuan's ambition is limited to this. He has done a good job over the years, and so far no one has discovered the connection between him and Wang Xian, and he was the one who reminded Wang Xian to go to Wuyue Town in the first place. Over the years, he has been going to visit Wang Xian in a self-deprecating way, and he has successfully concealed everyone......
"Yes!" Seeing that Wang Shuo had made up his mind, the guards did not say any more, and began to command the boatmen and prepare for battle. The official ship is a warship, and the boatmen are all veterans of water warfare.
Zheng Tai and they also got Xu Chen's order, this battle should be Wang Shuo, Peng Ze and them as the main force, and the teenagers are only responsible for fighting.
Zheng Tai fully comprehended the spirit of Xu Chen's order, and took the teenagers to watch from afar, only using a trebuchet to throw the canister of fire oil into the enemy ship, and by the way, he used a crossbow to put a few hidden arrows in the back.
It wasn't until the battle was fought that the leader on the opposite side discovered the enemy's difficulty, not to mention Wang Shuo, who attacked like a madman, even the dozen or so ships led by Peng Ze attacked even if they didn't want to die. Peng Ze and the others were afraid of Xu Chen's strong strength, thinking that they had not built an inch until now, how could they not fight with their strength.
Even more despicable were the three fishing boats that roamed around the periphery like ghosts, and whenever they managed to break out of the encirclement, they would suddenly pop up, and a large number of canisters of fire oil and crossbow arrows would be thrown back into the encirclement.
The three ships of the family forces are like three girls surrounded by a group of big men, and there is no room for resistance at all, and they have just broken out of the encirclement and are blocked back by a few shameless young men. In the face of rape, you can't resist, but the men can't enjoy it.
The battle did not last long before the three ships sank to the bottom of the lake with flames under the siege of the people. Those men who jumped ship and escaped were also killed by the crazy Wang Shuo, and of course Zheng Tai still let a few go under Xu Chen's hint......
