Chapter 417: Discuss countermeasures
Chapter 418: Discuss countermeasures
Barracks, in the big tent.
There was a rectangular conference table placed on it, and at this time, Ji Brahma was sitting directly above, with a serious expression, and a particularly cold look had leaked into his eyes.
On the left and right sides of the conference table sat Meng Zhuangnian, Gong Shisheng, Yang Banhou, Te Eighteen and other generals, all of whom had a cold face, because they already knew the news of the pirate attack.
For this incident, everyone was indignant and was ready to send troops to kill the enemy.
Ji Brahma said in a deep voice: "Lotus Island is occupied by pirates, I don't know if you have any opinions?"
Meng Zhuangnian sat at the bottom left of Ji Brahma and took the lead in speaking: "General, Lotus Island is occupied by pirates, I think this matter must not be ignored, if the pirates are spared this time, then they will definitely be unscrupulous in the future."
I think it is still according to the old rules, the soldiers under Meng Tao are in Changsha, and the rest of the soldiers go to Lotus Island to exterminate the pirates. ”
Wei Wudang immediately agreed and said, "I agree with General Meng's suggestion!"
Shi Ah said, "I agree with it too."
After Meng Tao heard this, he immediately became angry, and he retorted loudly: "General, they are also soldiers of the army, why can the soldiers under my command only stay here every time, even if they are just new soldiers, but they can also show the same bravery as veterans, each of them has been trained nowhere, and they are all a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, compared to that group of veterans, they are also better."
Teeighteen mouths wanted to persuade, but when he saw Meng Tao's murderous gaze, he immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
After Meng Zhuangnian saw this situation, he immediately shook his head, knowing that he had angered Meng Tao.
At this time, it really hit the wall.
Ji Brahma said: "Let's not discuss the issue of sending troops first, let's ask what the specific situation is?" Since you have received the news, there must be someone who has sent the news, where are the others?"
Wei Wudang said, "Still in the army!"
Ji Brahma said, "Bring it in, I'll ask first."
The situation of Lotus Island being captured by Wang Yang's pirates, Ji Brahma only learned part of the situation from Wei Wudang's mouth, and did not know what the specific situation was?
If you rush to send troops at this time, then you will definitely be blinded and easy to fall into trouble.
Ask carefully to know more details so that you can speculate about the situation.
Wei Wudang ordered to go down, and the person who heard the news was quickly brought in.
The person who reported the news was very thin, his eyes showed a particularly frightened expression, and his whole body began to tremble.
When he saw Ji Brahma, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said loudly, "General, there are many pirates on the island. After they came there, they directly took out their knives and slashed those innocent people, and they really killed a lot of people, and the blood kept flowing out, staining the whole ground red, and the red eyes were really scary, really terrifying!"
Ji Brahma said in a deep voice: "The pirates occupied Lotus Island, how did you escape?"
The person who reported the news shook his head helplessly, with a guilty expression on his face, without any hesitation, and said directly: "The villain doesn't dare to hide it, after the pirates capture Lotus Island, control the various levels." I thought I wouldn't be able to escape and come back here to report that the pirates took the initiative to find me and tell me to come back here and tell the general the news. ”
Ji Brahma frowned tightly, and asked again: "Very good, I just like people who tell the truth." Now that you've come out of there, tell me about what weird phenomena happened after the pirates landed on Lotus Island? Why did they attack Lotus Island?"
The person who reported the news shook his head and said, "Returning to the general, the villain doesn't know much. The villain only saw that after the pirates killed Lotus Island, they kept slaughtering the innocent people, and the methods were particularly bad, and I didn't know anything else. ”
Ji Brahma frowned and said, "How many of them came?" Do you estimate how many of them there are? ”
After thinking for a while, he said: "There are not many people who came, it should be only about 800 people, but they came on a big ship, and they brought a lot of advanced weapons, including trebuchets, etc., and there are also particularly sharp bows and arrows, which easily captured Lotus Island."
After saying this, there was a look of fear in the man's eyes, and he felt afraid.
Ji Brahma waved his hand and told the messenger to step back.
His eyes looked at all the generals present, and he immediately said loudly: "Inferred from what he said just now, the person who reported the news does not know much, and the pirates who captured Lotus Island should be the army of Wang Yang's pirates. The pirates openly captured Lotus Island, and deliberately let a person come back to deliver the news, probably to attract us over, and the comer is not good!"
Meng Zhuangnian continued: "General, before Guo was killed one day, he said that he was just a small soldier and that someone would avenge him. I boldly guessed that the country was killed one day, and Wang Yang's pirates wanted to avenge the country's one day, so they sent troops to capture Lotus Island on the sea, on the one hand, to take revenge, and on the other hand, to open up their territory for Wang Yang's pirates. ”
Ji Brahma nodded and said, "There is definitely this possibility!"
Wei Wudang interjected and said, "General, there are only about eight hundred pirates, so there is no need to be afraid. As long as the rest of my soldiers go into battle, it will be enough to destroy the pirates. ”
Ji Brahma said coldly: "Are you sure that the person who reported the news is telling the truth? Or, you can be sure that the person who is telling the information is seeing the truth, and not the pirate deliberately setting it up to deceive the person who told the message. ”
Wei Wudang's whole person was very shrewd, and after hearing these words, he immediately came to his senses.
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "General, you mean that pirates are deceitful?"
Ji Brahma said: "That's right, it can't be ruled out that it was a trap deliberately set by the pirates, and now the only thing that can be determined at present is that Lotus Island has been captured." Since the messenger has given the number of 800 men, if we follow this person, then we only need to send more than 2,000 soldiers to destroy the pirates. ”
"Assuming that the 800 pirates are an illusion, and there is another army in ambush and wants to deal a fatal blow to us, then if the pirates want to exterminate our 2,000 people, then they will probably have about three or four thousand people, as long as our strength reaches three thousand, it is enough to deal with this one."
After Ji Brahma finished speaking, it had been decided to leave Meng Tao behind, and the rest of the people would fight together.
