Chapter 901: Take the initiative

Originally, there were some boats on the beach, and this kind of small thing would not be taken to Yan Baihu's heart.

On the sea of this Kyushu Island, there will occasionally be some ships coming, which may be merchant ships from the Han Empire in the west, like Yan Baihu, or ships drifting down from the peninsula in the north.

In short, there are mostly merchant ships, loaded with some goods.

Occasionally, this kind of thing happens, and Yan Baihu doesn't care too much, after all, most of these extra things are divided by those under Yan Baihu.

It's just that this time, Yan Baihu has to care.

After all, there is a Chinese character hanging on it.

And it is the appearance of a fleet, and there will definitely be no fewer people on board, which will definitely make Yan Baihu serious.

"What's going on? By the way, what about the pirates we sent to sea, didn't they go to plunder Liu Zheng's merchant ships, why haven't they returned after so long? ”

At this time, Yan Baihu remembered that he also had a navy under him, and this navy was some of his previous water thief brothers.

It's just that after being on Kyushu Island, Yan Baihu and his team were busy fighting Kyushu Island, and they didn't care much about things at sea, so they gradually ignored the existence of that pirate army.

But for such a long time, he didn't see that pirate army, Yan Baihu occasionally thought about it, and he felt a little strange.

"Yan Lang, are you taking someone to find out what is the situation of those who landed from the south?"

Yan Baihu heard his subordinates come to report. Those people under the banner of Liu Zi will still attract some attention.

Yan Lang was frightened by those ghost soldiers at this time, and there was no way to follow Yan Baihu to fight those ghost soldiers at this moment.

After hearing Yan Baihu's order, it was exactly what he wanted.

Then he took some people and prepared to check on the people who had happened to the south.

In this way, Yan Baihu led his 30,000 troops, ready to find trouble with those ghost soldiers again.

Yan Lang led more than 10,000 people south, trying to see what was going on with these ships that suddenly arrived on Kyushu Island.

Two days later, Yan Lang came to Kashima with 10,000 horses.

This was the first county town captured by the army sent by Liu Zheng.

The 20,000-strong army led by Zhou Tai easily captured this small county seat.

To say that this is a county town is a bit reluctant.

After all, most of these natives on the island of Kyushu are still tribal. Houses are largely made of wood.

This kind of city is just a wall of earth blocks stacked on top of each other. It's still a bit useful to guard against those beasts and the like.

But for a big man like Zhou Tai, he is a strong general.

This kind of wall with a mixture of wood and earth blocks is inevitably too poor in defense.

Zhou Tai only ordered his soldiers and horses to use arrows to shoot a wave. Even catapults are useless. These walls are already crumbling.

Zhou Tai easily knocked down the county seat of Kashima. Let his 20,000 troops be stationed near the county seat of Kashima.

Kashima is a county seat, so it is difficult to accommodate 20,000 people.

As a last resort. Zhou Tai could only divide his army of 20,000 into two parts, one part stationed in the city, and the other part camped outside the city of Kashima County.

There are not many indigenous people left in Kashima Prefecture. First, this county town has been beaten by Yan Baihu's men a long time ago.

A few years ago, he was slaughtered by Yan Baihu's soldiers and horses. And a large number of natives in the vicinity were captured and used as slave soldiers.

The people who stayed here in Kashima. There are not many soldiers and horses under Yan Baihu.

That's why Zhou Tai's attack on Kashima will be so easy.

But that's exactly what happened, after Zhou Tai occupied Kashima, he didn't need to do more killing.

On the one hand, it liberated the slave natives who were held captive by Yan Baihu.

On the other hand, Zhou Tai directly killed some of Yan Baihu's original subordinate armies.

Let Kashima completely become a place that Zhou Tai is completely in control.

As long as Kashima is completely controlled, Liu Zheng's men and horses will be able to gain a foothold on Kyushu Island.

As long as you can get a foothold here. Slowly dealing with Yan Baihu will also have a chance.

However, on this day, Zhou Tai was busy leading his men to transform the road to the county seat.

One is to strengthen the walls of this county.

The second is to rebuild a few imposing houses. When Liu Zheng's headquarters arrived here, there would be a place to live.

However, he was only halfway through the construction work when he heard a report from his men.

It is said that a troop of soldiers and horses has been found ten miles outside of Kashima County, and it is rapidly approaching this side.

These people and horses approaching the vicinity of Kashima County have been detected by Zhou Tai and the spies deployed nearby.

Although there is no danger here, Zhou Tai is already starting to build the city, but he has not sent spies at all.

Since the island of Kyushu is not completely familiar, it is necessary to send spies to the vicinity to find out the news.

As a result, Yan Lang rushed to Kashima County with more than 10,000 horses.

Yan Lang didn't know at this time that the county seat of Kashima had been lost and occupied by Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses.

He just thought that the centaurs had just landed. Kashima County should still be under the control of the army under Yan Baihu.

It's just that when he got close to Kashima County, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Some of the soldiers who were originally deployed in Kashima County, but when Yan Lang sent someone over to hand them over, they didn't meet them at all.

Later, they caught a few soldiers who had fled nearby, and after questioning, they found out that the county seat of Kashima had already fallen.

Yan Lang, who knew that Kashima County was occupied by the enemy, was in a dilemma for a while.

Retreat. With more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is not as good as Yan Baihu to leave and go back before he understands the situation in Kashima County.

If you don't leave, stay and go to Kashima County to have a look. With the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Yan Lang, he is really not sure that he can reconquer the county seat of Ludao.

But just when Yan Lang was in a dilemma.

Zhou Tai has already taken the initiative to kill the people and horses.

The appearance of Yan Lang and these people had already alerted Zhou Tai, so Zhou Tai took his own men and horses, directly stopped building defensive measures and took the initiative to attack.

He also really had some worries, Yan Lang and these people, after knowing the situation on Kashima's side, would take the initiative to retreat, and then start to arm.

When Yan Lang arranged a tight defense, and then wanted to fight with Yan Lang's soldiers and horses, there were some difficulties.

Zhou Tai led 10,000 soldiers and horses and killed Yan Lang.

This time, for the first time in the past few years, Yan Lang saw so many Han people, but he still missed it.
