As the sun set, the pirates receded, and the gunboats of the South China Sea Navy Division anchored again.

After a day of hard fighting, the river was littered with the wreckage of warships, especially near the main channel, and the large number of shipwrecks made the voyage extremely difficult. For the South China Sea sailors, the blockade of the Pearl River estuary has become much easier. Zhao Xingde ordered the captured warships to be scuttled in the Pearl River channel, and cut down huge trees and ran aground in shallow water, almost completely blocking the Pearl River channel. It stands to reason that after the great victory, the South China Sea Navy Division did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but blocked the shipping lane, which is a sign of weakness. However, this battle was won so beautifully during the day, and the South China Sea Sailors not only defeated the pirates in one place, but also suffered very little damage themselves. So that the officers will not question any of Zhao Xingde's decisions.

In this battle, countless pirate warships were sunk, and the corpses floating on the river were innumerable, however, when the ships of the South China Sea Naval Division were summed up, only more than ten people were killed or seriously injured in the battle, and more than 20 others were slightly injured. Such a casualty ratio made even the officers and men of the naval division who personally participated in the battle feel unbelievable. The big victory, the complete victory, made many officers so excited that their heads were feverish, and they even had a feeling of dizziness and fog. While the soldiers carried out the order to scuttle the ship, the officers' minds were still stuck in the daytime battle. Although they had been practicing the tactics of gunboats at sea, this was a real and almost fantastic battle, which greatly touched many officers.

"It doesn't really look like it's true." Feng Mi watched as the sailors untied the cable and left an empty ship in the fairway.

For the sailors, the boat was a very important catch, and Zhao Xingde ordered a large number of captured ships to be scuttled, which was a great waste. However, there was no opposition from the officers in the naval division, and there was no opposition from even the non-commissioned officers. After this unreal victory, the atmosphere in the sailor was a little strange. A sergeant officer like Feng Mi fully knew the significance of this great victory, and was even a little embarrassed.

"It is impossible for any city by the water to resist it." Ma Yuan said in a low voice. Ezhou and Bianliang are all dependent on water.

There was a loud cheer in the distance, and the sailors did not have as many complicated ideas as the officers. A perfect victory only made them inexplicably excited, scuttling the captured enemy ships and blocking the shipping lanes, which meant that they would not take the initiative to attack for the next few days, and the sailors could rest. Therefore, most people watch with excitement as large ships are scuttled in the waterways. Every time the water ghost raised his head from the river and made a finished gesture to his fellow onlookers on the side of the ship, the side of the boat erupted in earth-shattering cheers. On many ships, acting as a ship-digging ghost has become a beauty difference that is scrambled by many sailors, which can be boasted of for a lifetime.

In a short period of time, the opportunity to be in the limelight, rather than a reward of money, became the most favored reward for sailors.

"We are the generals of the Great Song Dynasty." Feng Mi's expression was a little complicated, "We are from the Great Song Dynasty. So is General Zhao. It is our duty to protect the territory and the people. Instead of...... Opposite. He sighed and said no more. Feng Mi is a person who has experienced the changes in Ezhou. No matter how much trouble he made in the city, the army entered the city, and all resistance was turned to powder wherever the soldiers passed. General Zhao was not Dong Zhuo, Zhu Wen and the like, so he did not repeat the mistakes of the five generations of military rebellion. However, when he has a strong army that is strong enough to dominate the world and has no restraint, will it still be the same as before? Even if General Zhao had a heart, what would the imperial court think after knowing the outcome of this battle? Yiwen Yuwu is the system of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one wants Tai'a to hold it upside down.

The two fell silent, their eyes fell on the governor's boat not far away, Zhao Xingde stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, as if enjoying the sunset on the river, his figure looked particularly lonely......

Upstream of the South China Sea Naval Division, on the river near Guangzhou, the morale of the pirates was depressed to the point of no return.

For a whole day, the tug-of-war on the river, whether it was the Great Food Navy or the local pirates of the Song Kingdom, suffered extremely heavy casualties. The battle was full of gunsmoke, there was no time to count the casualties, and everyone panicked, and they didn't feel it. After the battle, the pirates realized that the casualties of the day's battle had exceeded all the casualties since the start of the army. The Great Food Navy lost nearly 2,000 sailors, and even such a fierce general as Saifudin was killed in battle. The casualties of the Song pirates were even higher. The only good news is that the scouts have reported that the South China Sea Naval Division is digging ships to block the shipping lane, that is, it does not plan to attack actively in the near future. Many of the pirate leaders were secretly relieved.

"It's strange, the officers and troops won a big victory, not only did they not intend to attack, but they cut off the waterway, looking weak."

There are several bandit leaders in Guangnan, and Liu Tai, the nine-headed Jiao, looks lucky, and a little incredible. The other pirate leaders also looked thoughtful. These people were originally reckless and rude, but now everyone looks cautious and thoughtful, and the atmosphere is very strange. The general translated the words of the nine-headed Jiao into the language of the big food, Famaitu looked at Qiu Darui, at the beginning, everyone agreed, only this Song businessman opposed attacking from the sea, although Famaitu had a lot of dissatisfaction with him, but now it seems that among the collaborators of the Song State, the person with brains is still this profiteer.

Mixed River Long Li Lao Ba said vigilantly: "Could it be that the officials and soldiers are playing some tricks of 'cultivating the plank road in the bright and Chen Cang in the dark'?" ”

"Oh? It's possible! "Damn, the surname Zhao is too insidious!"

"Perhaps, they left a hole in the channel for us to let our guard down, and the night attack will come after dark."

Among the many pirate leaders, this Li Laoba is a bastard, and his power is not outstanding. However, his suspicion resonated with the pirate leader. The South China Sea Navy Division played Zhao Xingde's general flag, everyone knew that he had been tricked, and everyone hated the shamelessness and cunning of the officials and soldiers, so they guessed that every move of the officials and soldiers was hidden in tricks.

"Secretly cross, cross your mother!" Liu Tai scolded, "Zhuhai waterway, can the officials and soldiers be familiar with us?" ”

"Your mother!" Li Laoba's face turned red, but his power was far inferior to Liu Tai, so he only dared to shout.

"Confused, so many pairs of eyes are staring, does Jiang Shang have a mouthful, do you think he can hide it? Dark, dark, you old hen! Liu Tai cut Li Laoba's face, turned his head and said to Qiu Darui, "We are all rough people, Qiu Daguan, you have a lot of knowledge, and you are familiar with the people in the official face, tell me, what are the thoughts of the official army?" ”

"In my opinion, it's easy to say. Qiu Darui sneered, "As the old saying goes, all the birds are flying, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking." If Zhao Xingde doesn't want to take this road, he is bound to let us live. For the imperial court, if pirates are banned, why spend a lot of money to raise a sailor? Moreover, the sailor's knife is too sharp, maybe one day, it will cut at himself. Some pirate leaders didn't understand his words, but Liu Tai and Famaitu both showed relieved looks.

"Maybe it's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Qiu Darui took a sip of tea and said, "Maybe Zhao Xingde just doesn't want to consume strength with our gang." The duty of the sailor is to block us in the Pearl River. However, the rabbit is in a hurry and wants to bite people, and if he really wants to eat us, he will also be greatly injured. No matter what he thinks, what Liu Dangjia said is that the officials and troops blocking the waterway are a mixed pros and cons, let's not guess what they plan to do, the key is, what should we do now? ”

"Then what do we say?" Famaitu's brown eyes stared at Qiu Darui, and he translated his words.

"Qiu has always advocated that if a strong man breaks his wrist, the sea route will not work, and then, he should attack Hanhai City with all his strength and take the land route!"

Qiu Darui put the teacup on the table, dipped his fingers in the tea, and said while drawing: "The current situation is very dangerous for us. I thought that the officials and troops of Guangzhou were desperately defending the city of defending the sea, just to prevent us from getting close to the city, but they did not expect that the city of defending the sea would isolate the coast of Zhuhai from the inland, and once a strong enemy came from the sea, we would be blocked by this city wall from the river bank to the city wall. When the officers and soldiers mobilized a large army to come over, they directly caught turtles in the urn. ”

"Oh, that's true!"

"Insidious, too insidious!" "I said how they looked at the broken walls like an ancestral tomb!"

"His grandmother's, fight with them!"

Qiu Darui saw that some of the pirates suddenly realized, and some couldn't hide their anxiety, pursed his lips, and said, "However, everyone knows the combat strength of the Guangzhou official army. With such a long defensive line defending Haicheng, if we attack with all our might, they will definitely not be able to hold it. This can only be blamed on their greed and wanting to wipe us out, but the South China Sea Sailor has the intention of preserving his strength, but he makes us breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at Famaitu and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, now that we are all in the same boat, we should work together to defend the sea city." I have read your history books, and I remember that when the Lumei Kingdom was at its peak, there was a reckless hero named Sibakos, who had hundreds of thousands of people and repeatedly defeated the officials and soldiers of the Lumei court, but his subordinates had two hearts, each did their own thing, and his reputation was ruined. Your Excellency, we have a saying in the Great Song Dynasty, you don't want to be trapped behind this Hanhai City like this Si Octacus, right? ”

Lumei and the Roma Turks are feuds, Famaitu is a Turkic nobleman, and his familiarity with the history of Lumei is no less than that of the nobles of Lumei. He is also a figure who can afford to take it and put it down, so he didn't hesitate, picked up the teacup and said: "My army can fully cooperate with you in attacking the city of defending the sea, but after breaking through this wall, you must promise to find me enough ships, otherwise, I promise that you will regret it very much." ”
