Chapter 887: Yan Baihu?
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were stunned when they saw this black flag.
The black flag was familiar to the two of them.
"Big brother, why is this black flag so familiar? Could it be that where have we looked? ”
He didn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and asked Jiang Qin on the side.
Jiang Qin was also a little confused at the moment. Looking at the black flag, I fell into deep thought.
But soon he noticed the white tiger on the banner. This time, my eyes lit up, and I seemed to think of something.
"Black flag, white tiger, isn't this the sign of Yan Baihu?"
After Jiang Qin saw this white tiger, he immediately thought of something.
Yan Baihu!
As soon as he said this, Zhou Tai, who was still a little skeptical, was immediately stunned at this time.
I understood it right away.
"Yes, Yan Baihu! How did I forget, that Yan Baihu usually hangs such a flag around Poyang Lake. ”
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, who were tied with Yan Baihu at the beginning, became one of the four major water thieves in the waters of Poyang Lake.
Although the two usually do not have much intersection, they still have some understanding of these water thieves in the Poyang Lake water system.
Besides, Yan Baihu was the most famous water thief in the vicinity at the beginning, and his strength was strong, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai knew Yan Baihu very well, and they clearly knew Yan Baihu's power.
It's just that a few years ago, after Liu Zheng defeated Yan Baihu, Yan Baihu had disappeared into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zheng once sent people to pursue Yan Baihu, but he didn't get Yan Baihu's whereabouts, but he only knew that Yan Baihu was a guy, and finally fled to the beach with a group of people.
As for where Yan Baihu went in the end, Liu Zheng, Jiang Qin and others are not clear.
Gradually, Liu Zheng became the emperor and unified the entire Jiangdong, and the name Yan Baihu was gradually forgotten and disappeared in the long river of history, but now, it was remembered by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.
"This is Yan Baihu's White Tiger Banner, so those so-called pirates are actually Yan Baihu's people?"
After seeing each other's flags, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai already understood each other's identities, and their faces were a little shocked at this moment.
Zhou Tai's deep face had not changed at this moment, and his eyes had always been on the bodies of these pirates opposite.
is also looking at these pirates, wanting to see if these people are really Yan Baihu.
Maybe it's just that the flag is the same.
"I don't know, let's take a look and talk about it, if it's really Yan Baihu, then we will kill him by the way, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and when the time comes, I will tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be happy."
After Jiang Qin knew that these pirates were Yan Baihu, he didn't have the worry at the beginning, and more, he actually wanted to fight Yan Baihu, and then wipe out all these pirates.
It's good to mix up military merits, after all, the status of Jiang Qin's navy under Liu Zheng is not very high, and their navy army does not have many opportunities to appear on the stage, and they cannot kill the enemy, and over time, it is not Liu Zheng's core combat power.
He had long wanted to show his strength in front of Liu Zheng, but there were not many opportunities to use the water army, and now was the right time.
As long as this group of pirates can be eliminated, it will be able to make Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's sailors grow their faces in front of Liu Zheng.
Just when Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were still thinking about whether these pirates who appeared on the opposite side were Yan Baihu.
The fleet of these pirates was already approaching them.
Neither Zhou Tai nor Jiang Qin had time to issue an order to these fleets to inquire about it.
The flotillas attacked first.
Shouting in a dialect they don't understand.
Immediately afterward, a rain of arrows flew from the ship opposite.
Arrows shot up into the sky.
Piercing the sky in an instant, countless dense arrows shot towards the ships of Zhou Tai and the others.
Zhou Tai was still thinking about saluting first and then soldiering, and planned to send someone up to inquire after the other party's ship approached. Who are these people and who are they?
didn't expect the other party to give him any chance to react at all, so he came up and did it.
It made Zhou Tai a little stunned.
But after being stunned, he quickly came to his senses.
immediately let his men and horses launch a counterattack.
The number of these pirates in the enemy army is not very large, although they have more than a dozen ships, but the number of them should only be three or four thousand.
There were only about 300 people on each ship, because the ships of these pirates were relatively small, unlike these dragon ships around Zhou Tai, which were all ships that had been enlarged again, and they were huge in size, capable of carrying thousands of people at one time.
It's just that because there are more ships, there are not really thousands of people on one ship, and each ship is only more than 500 people.
Zhou Tai's side, which showed an advantage in ships and numbers, although it was in a passive state, had an advantage in numbers, and at the moment when Zhou Tai decided to counterattack, the ships behind him immediately began to blow the horn to attack.
The horn spread with the waves, and soon more than 20 ships approached the ships of these pirates in unison at this time.
The two sides first exchanged a rain of arrows.
The arrows rained down, but because of the distance, such a shot was not an accurate shot, and it did not have much effect except for suppressing the enemy's men and horses.
On the contrary, because Zhou Tai's men and horses were more after a round of shooting.
The damage to the men and horses of these pirates is even greater.
Two rounds of firing were conducted on both sides.
Each has its own winners and losers.
There are no casualties, after all, it is not accurate shooting, but two rounds of arrows fired at each other from a distance are not a powerful attack.
The real competition is the real battle on the deck after the two ships approach.
Close combat is the real means of pirates in this era.
Of course, those pirates have no more means to deal with these ships.
But Zhou Tai is different. These buildings under Zhou Tai are large ships that have been improved by Liu Zheng himself.
It could have carried thousands of men, but only 500 of them, so that the ship had a lot of other stones and crossbows on board.
These things are Zhou Tai's magic weapon to win.
"Release the catapult!"
Seeing that the two rounds of arrow rain did not suppress the other party, Zhou Tai simply stopped shooting arrows.
Instead, he immediately pulled out his killer weapon, and the ships were loaded with giant crossbows and catapults.
Although these things are not as good as the artillery of later generations. However, as a long-distance attack tool, it still has a strong role in this era.
It's much more powerful than a small attack like an arrow.
