Chapter 167: A Suspicious Tactic

Quanzhou Shihu Water Village

The place where the Shihu Water Village is located is a bay, the mouth of the bay is small and big, surrounded by islands and reefs on three sides, only one side faces the sea, because of the obstruction of the islands and reefs, the wind and waves in the bay are not as stormy as outside.

However, although the wind and waves in the bay are small, there is a sad scene at one of the bends.

In the sea before the bend, the wrecks of three or four ships rose and fell in the wind and waves, some broken wooden planks, clothes, and wooden weapons floated in the water, the broken hull was full of arrows, and countless other corpses also floated in the water, pushed upside down by the wind and waves, as if they were not dead.

The area around Shihu Water Village is also full of corpses, and the corpses are spread all over the Shihu Water Village, including pirates and defenders of Shihu Water Village.

Broken weapons and feathered arrows stuck in the ground were densely spread all over the Shihu Water Village and the surrounding hillsides.

At this moment, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, and the heavy rain poured down, which could not extinguish the raging fire ignited in Shihu Water Village, but made the entire Shihu Water Village full of gunsmoke, gunpowder smoke, and the battlefield was a mess.

Corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood are flowing!

"Feng Zhizhai, the thieves are attacking from the hillside again." A Song Jun from Shihu Water Village said to Feng Kui, the governor of Shihu Water Village.

On the right side of the water village is a low hill, and above the hill is the beacon tower.

Feng Kui led his troops to fight to the enemy, and the pirates attacked the gate of the village for a long time but could not, so they attacked from the hills and attacked the Shihu Water Village on both sides.

At this moment, more than 300 defenders have been completely lost, only dozens of people remain, and they are all wounded, and some seriously injured people are only killed in the evening.

"Brothers, are you afraid?" Feng Kui, who was covered in scars, held a long knife with a missing mouth and asked the dozen or so Song Jundao who had gathered around him.

The rain poured on Feng Kui's helmet, flowing down his cheeks and onto the shoulder armor on both sides, and Feng Kui couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat or blood, and he had no time to distinguish it.

"Don't be afraid, go to death with the old general, we are not afraid." More than a dozen wounded soldiers of the Song Army struggled to stand up and squeezed around Feng Kui and said loudly.

"Brothers!" Feng Kui choked up when he heard the words and said: "The old man can't stand you, the old man can't stand Li Zhizhou, and I'm sorry for the people of Quanzhou." ”

If Shihu Water Village misses, Haikou will definitely drive straight into Quanzhou City, so Feng Kui feels guilty.

"Brothers!" Feng Kui saw that the pirates who rushed into the village were getting closer and closer, and all the pirates shouted wildly, and their hideous faces were approaching hideously, so Feng Kui stood up and shouted: "The husband is for the country and the people, and if he dies, he will die!" If we die today, we will definitely be famous in history, kill! ”

Feng Kui said, and immediately danced his sword and rushed towards the sea robbers.

"Kill!"

"Kill these thieves!"

"For the country and the people, there is nothing to fear in death!"

The Song army was wounded, and when they saw the veteran Feng Kui rushing to Haikou first, they all rushed forward with Feng Kui without hesitation, and they all regarded death as their home, and fought with the enemy to the end.

Bursts of shouts and killings suddenly sounded around Shihu Water Village, and the two sides were entangled together, fighting to the death.

In September of the second year of Chongning, Quanzhou Shihu Water Village was too small in number, and almost all of them were township soldiers and native soldiers, so under the siege of thousands of pirates, they did not wait for reinforcements, and after holding on for two hours, they were broken by the pirates.

More than 300 defenders of Shihu Water Village were wiped out, and none of them surrendered to Haikou, but despite this, the defenders of Shihu Water Village fought with the strong enemy under the command of the veteran Feng Kui, killing more than 400 enemies, which severely dampened the spirit of Haikou, and also bought time for Quanzhou.

The veteran Feng Kui fought unyieldingly and died on the battlefield.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Quanzhou City

"Close all the gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Those who communicate with thieves will be punished as collaborating with the enemy, and there will be no mercy!"

"Those who trespass on the city gates will be killed!"

"Those who report thieves will be rewarded by the government!"

At this moment, in the city of Quanzhou, a group of Song soldiers wore helmets and armor, held swords and guns, or rode horses or walked, under the leadership of their respective commanders, or rushed to the outside of the city, or ran up the city wall, or guarded at the various city gates.

The atmosphere in Quanzhou City suddenly became extremely tense, and all the merchants and people avoided it, all of them were extremely frightened, and they didn't know what was going on.

The whole city is under martial law, which has never happened in Quanzhou in recent years.

Could it be that there are bandits coming to commit it? Everyone couldn't help but speculate.

Quanzhou Prefecture Ya

The Quanzhou Prefecture was also in a tense atmosphere, and officials, officials, generals, and non-commissioned officers all looked solemn and went in and out.

"There are hundreds of Haikou ships, and there are even more, how many boats does my Quanzhou boatmaster have? How many centaurs are there? How can you fight the thieves? ”

"Besides, at this moment, there are pirates attacking and harassing all over the Fujian Road, who knows where the pirate ships are at this time? How to find a thief ship in the vast sea? ”

"Zhangzhou is in an emergency, the Haikou ships must go there, and my Quanzhou boat division needs to go south to reinforce Zhangzhou."

"If you are ambushed halfway and lose your troops, who will bear such a sin?"

"If Zhangzhou is not saved, who can bear such a crime?"

"There are also pirates in Quanzhou, each of whom sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others!"

“。。。。。。。。。。。。。”

At this moment, within the Quanzhou Prefecture Ya, everyone was arguing endlessly, and they were arguing with each other.

At this time, Li Sanjian, Cui Yongzi and others received the news that not only Fujian Road was attacked by pirates, but even Liangzhejiang Road and Guangnan Road were also attacked by pirates to varying degrees. Not only Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, Xinghuajun and other places on the Fujian Road were attacked and harassed by pirates, but even Tong'an, Nan'an, Anxi, Zhao'an, Dongshan, Zhangpu, Haimenzhai and other places in Quanzhou were also harassed to varying degrees.

Such a large-scale pirate attack made everyone scramble, and they couldn't make up their minds at all.

Li Sanjian was the same, staring at the map with a solemn expression, and was silent for a long time.

Since receiving the news of the pirate attack, Li Sanjian has been in the state government for ten whole days, during which Li Sanjian has eaten, drank, lassa, and slept in the state office, his beard under his chin is messy, and the whole person is sloppy.

But how can Li Sanjian take care of a lot at this time?

Haikou attacked everywhere, and urgent documents from all over Quanzhou drifted into the state government like snowflakes, how should Li Sanjian and others deal with it at this time?

First of all, we must find out the intentions of the pirates, and the attack is random, or is there some hidden purpose? After Li Sanjian sorted out his thoughts, he secretly thought in his heart,

At the same time, we also have to figure out where the pirates are? At present, it seems that it is more likely to be the Haikou of Tongshanzhai, the old enemy of Quanzhou, but the problem is that the Haikou of Tongshanzhai has such great power or power? Can you attack Fujian Road, Guangnan Road and Liangzhejiang Road at the same time?

In addition, if it is really the Haikou of Tongshanzhai who gathered a large number of people, then their purpose must be related to Quanzhou, the reason is that Tongshanzhai and Quanzhou have enmity with Li Sanjian and others, and the small-scale and intermittent attacks on both sides have lasted for two years.

But Tongshanzhai Haikou first attacked other places on the southeast coast, especially Zhangzhou on the Fujian Road, so what was their purpose?

Could it be that they are playing a suspicious role? Li Sanjian's thinking gradually became clearer.

So what is the purpose of Haikou's suspicious tactics? Is it Quanzhou or Quanzhou's new army or boat division?

"Shut up to the official, and say one by one, Yan Zhutou, you come first, tell me where the pirates are attacking my southeast and southeast? What's so unusual about it? Li Sanjian was dizzy by the quarrel of his subordinates, so he said to Yan Si after drinking the officials.

"Li Zhizhou, Cui Tongju, all the officials." Yan Si heard the words and walked into the lobby and said: "My subordinates were ordered to find out the news of the pirates, and they also caught a few pirates, they belong to various places, including Tongpan Mountain, Dongtou Island, Wuqiu, Shangchuan Prefecture and other places, according to their confessions, all the pirates have sent people to attack and harass my southeast coast, among which the pirates in Tongpan Mountain are the main ones, so the subordinates judged that the pirates attacked and harassed, and it was the pirates in Tongpanshan who summoned the pirates everywhere to plunder and harass. ”

"This alone is still not enough, it is not enough to judge that Haikou is mainly a copper cottage." Li Sanjian said after thinking about it.

"Li Zhizhou, my subordinates also inquired about something." Yan Si heard the words and said: "Not long ago, Xie Huaizhong, the leader of the Tongpan Mountain bandits, congratulated him on his birthday and invited all the pirates to Tongpan Island, so is this time the pirates gathered troops to plunder and harass each other related to this matter?" ”

Li Sanjian nodded when he heard this.

It seems that this large-scale plundering and harassment of the Haikou was indeed done by Tongshanzhai, in this case, what is their purpose? Is it Quanzhou?

So far, Li Sanjian still has some disbelief that Haikou dares to come to Quanzhou to attack the city.

"Li Zhizhou, Cui Tongju!" Yao Yu then came out and said: "Since it is a thief on Tongpan Island, its purpose must be Quanzhou, at this time, plundering and harassing everywhere is just a suspicious tactic, so at this time, our department should concentrate all the soldiers and horses in Quanzhou to prevent the thieves from attacking the city." ”

Li Sanjian nodded in approval.

Li Sanjian is also suspecting that Haikou is making suspicious tactics, so their purpose is Quanzhou City? Do they really dare to come and attack the city? Li Sanjian muttered secretly in his heart.

"Yao Prison!" Judge Zhou Fangmei came out and said: "According to Yao's intentions, gather troops in Quanzhou, so abandon him in disregard?" Let the pirates raid everywhere? ”

"Li Zhizhou!" Cui Yongzi also spoke: "Other places can be ignored, but Zhangzhou has to be saved." ”

Li Sanjian nodded helplessly when he heard this.

Almost all of the forbidden troops on the Fujian Road are deployed near Fuzhou, and Zhangzhou is far away from Fuzhou and close to Quanzhou, Zhangzhou is in danger at the moment, and they ask for help in Quanzhou, if Quanzhou ignores it, they will be reprimanded by the imperial court, and if Zhangzhou is lost because of this, Li Sanjian and others will be guilty of greatness.

Therefore, in any case, Quanzhou must send troops to rescue Zhangzhou.
