Xu Dong's mood improved, because he found that Lin Guoxian couldn't hold his breath!

Shangzhai knows about risking out of the port to do business without capital, although this plan was rejected, but it can also be seen that Shangzhai has run out of water. Then followed Xu Dong to receive Lin Guoxian's battle letter!

"In seven days, we will choose one hundred and fifty men to fight to the death! The losing side will surrender the whole village! The one who wins is the lord of South Australia! ”

After Xu Dong heard about this suggestion, he agreed on the spot, and immediately notified the whole of South Australia, so that Lin Guoxian could not go back!

"Wouldn't it be too hasty to say yes?" Cao Gu'an said.

Xu Dong laughed, he was laughing at Cao Gu'an's timidity, laughing at Cao Gu'an's lack of knowledge!

At this time, there are still some people in Shangzhai who maintain good combat effectiveness, but their ships - they can't find a few ships that can compete with the 'elite' in Xiazhai! Even if both sides are 'fine' and sharp, there is no distinction between people and people, and Xu Dong is sure that he can have the upper hand on the ship! And the reality of Shangzhai, Xu Dong knows it well. Therefore, Xu Dong feels that he has a great chance of winning this decisive battle!

And before Xu Dong agreed, he had already thought of a strategy to deal with it, he planned to use the most 'fierce' war of attrition to grind off the opponent's combat power first, and it was best for both sides to kill half of the sailors and sink half of the ships at the same time, and then turn to a delaying war and drag it out until nightfall. As soon as the night came, he announced a temporary strike, and if Lin Guoxian was unwilling to fight again the next day, then his losses on the first day would be a waste! The morale of Shangzhai will be greatly damaged! If Lin Guoxian is willing to decide the outcome the next day, then Xiazhai will invest the same manpower and ships as on the first day, first attrition war, and then delay the war, until the last strength of Shangzhai is polished - Lin Guoxian's war book only mentions that the two sides invested 150 people, and does not say that if the decisive battle drags on until the next day, the sailors invested by both sides can only be the remaining 150 dead troops, Xu Dong can take advantage of this loophole and keep investing "150 people" to consume with Lin Guoxian!

Xu Dong knew that he could afford it, but Lin Guoxian couldn't afford it! Even if Lin Guoxian has enough people at hand, his ship is not enough! So Xu Dong is not afraid!

"I think Lin Guoxian is old and confused!" Zhou Bald laughed. His opinion is similar to Xu Dong's, and he thinks that agreeing to this decisive battle is beneficial and harmless! If you can win, it will naturally be the best, even if Lin Guoxian has the upper hand with outstanding surprise soldiers, as long as Xiazhai is prepared for defeat at the beginning, he can drag the 'elite' of Shangzhai who went out of the port to meet him into the abyss! Moreover, the side that has the courage to meet at sea and has the determination to die with the enemy from the beginning usually does not fail!

"He's not an old fool," Xu Chaoguang said: "He's cornered, he has no choice!" If it was an offer that was good for him, we wouldn't say yes, that's why he did it, and it was called a gamble! If he loses this decisive battle, then most of the brothers in Shangzhai can naturally enter Xiazhai, and he can be regarded as finding a way out for his subordinates. This is also in his name of 'benevolence and righteousness', and if we take over Shangzhai in this case, even if Lin Guoxian dies on the spot, we will not be able to do anything to his wife and children, and the 'women' and children in Shangzhai will be saved. But if he wins, then things will take a turn for the better, so he will choose this way. ”

Xu Dong looked at Xu Chaoguang, and his eyes showed a look of appreciation. Chi uncertain said, "What if? What if? Now that it's calculated, Shangzhai wants to win a big victory without a 'door'! Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Zhou Bald asked.

"Unless God helps them too!" Chi Buding said: "Give them a good wind and good rain!" And the kind that is clearly beneficial to them. ”

"That's not afraid!" Zhou Bald laughed evilly: "Won't we look at the direction of the wind before starting the war?" If it weren't for the too evil wind and rain, it wouldn't have made us defeated, and if it was too evil for the wind and rain...... Haha, let's just say that this time doesn't count, and we'll compare it the next day! Or simply lay down the boat and rush into Shangzhai as soon as the situation is not right......"

"Then ......" Luo Da Niu exclaimed, "Isn't that a broken promise?" ”

"If you break a promise, you will break a promise!" Zhou Bald said: "Even if we break our promise, when South Australia falls into our hands, who else dares to say anything?" ”

"Don't do that." Xu Dong drooped his eyelids, as if he was indifferent to this matter, but also as if he was holding the chance to win: "We will definitely win!" ”

However, he still hopes to win in a dignified manner, so that he can take over South Australia more legitimately, and then dominate eastern Guangdong - in this era, China's national power is still extremely strong, although most of the power is enveloped by the restrained center, but occasionally revealing a small part of it is enough to shock the neighbors! Eastern Guangdong is only a very important corner of the Ming Dynasty, but for the outside world, those who dominate eastern Guangdong are qualified to win the entire South Seas!

Therefore, Xu Dong still made 'fine' preparations for this decisive battle, selected one hundred and fifty healthy soldiers, and selected the best seven ships in the whole village, and put them into pre-war training the next day, and took out wine and 'meat' property to 'excite them', and that night he received information that Lin Guoxian ordered the ship sailors - sure enough, they were also 'fine' sharp, which shows that Shangzhai also attaches great importance to this matter! But Shangzhai is badly broken after all, and the one hundred and fifty people selected are also brave, but the ship can't compare with Shangzhai at all. After getting this news, Xu Dong was even more at ease.

On the evening of the third day, Cao Gu'an suddenly came to report in a hurry, saying that something was wrong with the stormtroopers who went out this time! It is said that 19 of the 30 charging soldiers have secretly taken refuge in Shangzhai!

"What!" Xu Dong jumped up when he heard this.

"That's right! It's news from Li Dahu! Cao Gu'an said: "Those nineteen people will be tied to the left side of the bath cloth as a signal!" ”

"Let's go!" Xu Dong took people, carried a knife, and rushed to the seaside station overnight, his face was 'colored' and 'cloudy' along the way.

Although the stormtroopers only had thirty men, accounting for one-fifth of the total number of troops invested in this decisive battle, their role in the entire decisive battle was by no means one-fifth! If more than half of the stormtroopers defect, it will have a subversive impact on the entire battle situation!

"Elder Koo is really not a person who can tie his hands! He really has a trump card in his hand! ”

Xu Dong was furious when he heard the news at first, but when he walked to the seaside station, he had calmed down. The one hundred and fifty soldiers who faced the battle were summoned here for training after being selected, and they maintained a wartime state every day. He carried his sword into the camp, but instead of going straight to the place where the stormtroopers were, he first went to the other team to patrol the station.

When the one hundred and fifty soldiers heard that the owner of the village had brought people into the camp late at night, they were a little panicked at first, but then they woke up and thought that the owner of the village had come to make a temporary assault this time to see if they had slackened, so they were all at ease.

Xu Dong finally patrolled to the place where the stormtroopers were stationed.

In the old days, men who often haunted the wind and waves in the southeast had the habit of tying a bath cloth around their waists, which had a variety of functions, usually used as a belt to tie 'pants', used as a bath towel when bathing, used as a rope when in an emergency, and even used to bandage wounds when injured. After Xu Dong came in, his face did not show any joy and anger, and the thirty stormtroopers were all 'straight' and 'chesty' and stomach-tightening, very 'spirited'! Luo Da Niu was proud when he saw it, and thought: "Now the owner of the village must praise me for my good training!" ”

I didn't want Xu Dong to inadvertently sweep his eyes to their waists, and sure enough, he saw that nineteen of the thirty people were tied to the left! His face darkened, but he didn't have a seizure, and waved his hand, "Go back to sleep." So he brought people out, gritted his teeth all the way, and said in his heart: "Are they being moved by themselves, or are there still people on their heads who are instructed?" Well, these thirty people were selected by Zhou Bald, trained by Luo Da Niu, Luo Da Niu is a muddy person, could it be that Zhou Bald wants to oppose me? ”

Thinking of this, he glanced at Cao Gu'an, although Cao Gu'an was his brother-in-law, Xu Dong didn't dare to fully trust anyone! Not only did he not fully trust Cao Gu'an's loyalty to him, but he also didn't trust Cao Gu'an's ability!

"Could it be that he 'got it wrong'?"

Fortunately, Xu Dong never bet on one person, and he was divided into two lines for the purchase of Shangzhai, one line was connected by Cao Gu'an, who bought Li Dahu, and the other line was connected by Li Coconut Shell, which bought Shen 'Men'. Xu Dong didn't let Cao Gu'an and Li Coconut Shell know about each other, so the two-pronged approach was not only to prevent Lin Guoxian from using fraud and surrender, but also to prevent internal tricks. Therefore, if there is something in Shangzhai, Xu Dong will generally receive two pieces of information, if the content of the two pieces of information is the same, then the matter is suspicious, if the content of the two pieces of information is the same, then the possibility of this information being true information is great!

As a result, as soon as Xu Dong returned home, he saw Li Coconut Shell hurriedly coming to him, and after retiring the others, Li Coconut Shell hurriedly said: "The owner of the village! How do you go on patrol late at night? It's too dangerous! ”

"Dangerous?"

"Yes!" Li Coconut said: "There has just been news from Shen's 'Gate' that there is likely to be a 'traitor' in the stormtroopers!" ”

Xu Dong's eyebrows jumped, and he asked with a calm face: "What 'traitor'?" ”

Li Coconut said: "A total of nineteen people, tied to the left with a bath cloth!" These people will wait until the day of the decisive battle to suddenly turn against them! ”

Xu Dong clenched his fists and said, "Did you find the person who made the main envoy?" ”

"Not yet." Li Coconut said: "This matter is likely to be taken over by Lin Guoxian himself, so Shen 'Men' doesn't know who Xiaowei bought them through!" ”

"Okay, got it." Xu Dong said: "Go back, I will deal with this matter." ”

After Li Coconut left, Xu Dong called Xu Chaoguang again and asked him to transfer those nineteen people out and let the other nineteen people be selected to fill in!

When Xu Chaoguang heard this, his face was full of doubts: "Why is this?" These 19 people have practiced 'pretty well'! ”

"Don't ask!" Xu Dong said: "You just do it!" ”
