Chapter 617: We Can Make a Deal
Night covered the sea, and everything around was dark except for the torches on the ship.
On the deck, Han Ergou stood in armor with a fierce expression.
The surroundings were full of guards, and even a few of them carrying torches were leaning against the side of the ship, their faces full of exhaustion.
After a day of rushing and chasing the enemy until now, most of these sailors are tired and unwilling to stand up.
The grasshopper boat in front of it suddenly caught fire, and after a few times, the fire went out.
Han Ergou pulled the lazy herald next to him, and asked:
"What's the news, but you lost the trace of Ding Chao?"
The herald was lazy, and his tone was sarcastic:
"Although Ding Chao is known as the king of the sea dragon, it also depends on who he is in front of, the king is the hegemon, in front of our prince, that is, the loach meets the dragon and meets the ancestor. He still wants to run, and he can't run out of the palm of our hand when he is tired. ”
Han Ergou slapped the herald in the face:
"Clean his damn nonsense, who doesn't know that the prince is powerful, when Lao Tzu was in the guard, he knew that the prince was invincible. Tell me, what does the fire mean? ”
The herald touched his head, and said with a smile:
"The news just now is that Ding Chao's traces have not been lost, but they have received a message from Qi Jun and asked whose command we are and do we need assistance?"
Han Ergou's face was full of doubts when he heard this:
"The front is Haicheng Port, the Sea Dragon King should have colluded with the Qi army, they don't accept the bandits, why do they cooperate with us?"
"Mother, tell them, just say that we are under the command of Prince Su Ping and need assistance."
The herald began to raise the fire, brandishing his torch as he spoke:
"I said Lao Han, why don't you say that we are under His Majesty's command, under the command of the prince, you think very far."
Han Ergou smiled when he heard this:
"He Laozi, there is a person named Zhao Shuo in the Qi State, who has recently been promoted to a big official, and controls the land and water army in the north of the Tuojiang River, I heard a relative of Ding Xiaowei say that Zhao Shuo is very superstitious about our prince."
"I think, let's say it's the prince's command, maybe there will be an unexpected effect."
When the herald finished the fire, he put his torch on the shelf on the side, and his face was full of sarcasm:
"Come on, Qi and us are enemy countries, I have never heard of it, there are generals of enemy countries who will not oppose us because they worship our prince."
The next moment, the grasshopper boat in front of it rekindled its fire.
The herald's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at the fire in a daze, and then looked at Han Ergou.
Han Ergou's face was full of anxiety, and when he saw the herald's confused appearance, he slapped him on the head.
"What is the news, tell me quickly."
The herald straightened his hat, sniffed his nose and said:
"Qi Jun said that they would intercept them in front and prevent the bandits from entering the port."
Han Ergou sneered:
"This is useful for a fart, and it's not to help us intercept it."
The herald put the torch on the shelf next to him, and said with an ugly face:
"You just have to think about it, if the Qi army does not let the Sea Dragon King enter the port, there will definitely be a battle, and if all kinds of crossbow arrows are fired, the Sea Dragon King will definitely have a hard time."
Han Ergou nodded when he heard this, if this is the case, then it is okay, at least it can be counted as a blockade.
"Pass the order, speed up the ship, let's try to catch up after the Qi army repels the pirates, and wipe out all the turtle sons of Ding Chao, that is a first-class honor, counting your accumulation of military exploits in the past, it will be terrible."
On the deck, the sailors who were lying on the horizon sat up, and one by one, they all began to wipe the knives and guns in their hands, and the sergeants in charge of operating the guns began to inspect the ballistas, picking up crossbow arrows back and forth.
An hour later, the navy finally arrived outside Haicheng Harbor and saw the harbor where the fighting was shaking.
More than a dozen Qi warships had already left the port, forming a half-circle, blocking the three-way road of the bandits from a distance, leaving only one way to retreat.
The bandits' warships had already caught fire, and most of the dozen or so ships that had escaped had already caught fire, and the ship of the Sea Dragon Throne led by them had even burned half of it, and its sails were gone.
Ding Chao's eyes breathed fire, and he stood on the side of the ship with a knife, cursing viciously.
He really didn't expect that how could this be, not only did the Qi army not accept him, but he just pushed himself out, and even drove them all out.
In the past, I didn't pay tribute to the Qi people.
Damn, these ungrateful Qi dogs.
"Kill, kill all these ungrateful Qi dogs, and avenge the third child."
Ding Chao yelled viciously.
A moment later, a small boss rushed from behind:
"Big brother, the Han army is catching up, let's retreat."
Ding Chao pushed away the little boss whose face was covered with blood:
"Retreat, where to retreat?"
"We were pitted by Qi people, and now it's over, killing one is enough, killing two will make money, Zhao Shuo, who was raised by a son of a bitch, will either die or die today."
When Han Ergou entered the battle, most of the battle was over.
Although the Qi army has many ships, it is also waiting for work, but its combat strength is too poor, if it is not for the opportunity to burn several pirate ships in a row, I am afraid that it will be killed as soon as it fights.
However, the current situation is not good, sitting on the geography, and the number is twice that of the bandits, but the bandits broke through the interception and rushed into the port of Haicheng.
Han Ergou, who received the news, was stunned.
Qi Juncai, he can imagine it, but the bandits are so reckless, he really can't figure it out.
Since the Qi army blocked the way, you defeated the Qi army, and just turned to flee directly, why did you rush to Haicheng Port.
Captain Qi, who came to make contact, said helplessly:
"This group of pirates is too fierce, please help the general to help defeat this group of bandits."
With a wave of Han Ergou's arm, the navy began to form a military formation and approached the harbor.
"Don't worry, we're here to hunt down this group of pirates."
"The commander has an order, and if you get the head of any bandit leader, you can be promoted to a first-class rank."
Captain Qi's eyes lit up:
"In that case, we can work together and make a deal, General."
"March, fight in."
After Han Ergou said something, he suddenly reacted, what do you mean, you want to do business with me.
Captain Qi said with a smile:
"General, since you only need the head, you can leave the corpse to us, as long as we can distinguish it before cutting off the head, which one is Ding Chao and that one is Ding Lu."
The warships began to enter the port, and the fire in the harbor was soaring, and several warships had become trapped beasts, and they could not do it now.
Han Ergou shook his head:
"If it's not good, let's not do it."
Captain Qi said with a smile:
"In return, we can give you a few islands around Neptune Island and withdraw our people."
Han Ergou had a stalk on his neck, and his face was very stinky.
", Sea Dragon King Island was originally fought down by us."
Captain Qi hurriedly laughed and said:
"The general is wrong, I'm not talking about Sea Dragon King Island, it's the surrounding islands, there are garrisons of our Qi army, they can be evenly given to you, as long as you leave corpses and broken warships that can't be repaired, well, it's really not good, we can also pay a sum of money."
