Chapter 453: Bonfire
The belated moon had already climbed into the sky, and the soft glow did not satisfy the army on Chongming Island.
They have won, they have regained the last of the seas ruled by the pirates for countless years, and only the lights and celebrations can express the excitement in their hearts.
Piles of firewood were lit, and the seamasters gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing, and the shiny and reflective weapons became dancing props, except for the lack of wine, there was enough meat and food.
The Chu army, which was immersed in the joy of victory, at this time, the distance and estrangement of the soldiers were pulled closest, whether it was from the army to help, or the eight banners that were transferred, they all got along happily with the naval divisions.
At the beginning, the eight generals of Lu Shi Wu Kuang, Xu Liang, Yang Feng, Lu Fan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Jiang Qi, and Cao Ya, who were transferred from Luoyang, plus the scribe Chen Diao.
and hidden in Jingzhou, it is Zhao Yun, Cao Zhen, Li Dian who are waiting for this moment, and Ma Zhong, Wang Shuang, Qin Qi, Gao Sheng, Du Yuan, Cao Pelia and other generals under Cao Zhen.
Wei Yan and the generals of the Eight Banners of the Holy Elephant who rushed over from Jiaozhou.
Plus all the senior generals of the Shanghai Division.
It can be said that the high-level and fierce generals gathered together and celebrated each other.
The unrestrained Zou Tao is like a hub for everyone's contact and feelings at this time, whether he recognizes him or not, he is all in a mess, and introduces the people present to everyone.
Among the crowd of senior generals, the four people in the line had the lowest military ranks, and they looked extremely restrained.
It just so happened that Zou Tao knew the four of them, pulled Han Ji and Wei Yan, ignored the black lines on their heads, came to the front of the four, and greeted them warmly:
"Zhang Baiqi, Cao Wu, Cao Zhan, Cao He! The four of you are too! ”
Zou Tao looked at the clothes of the four people, and according to the increasingly distinct military uniforms of the Chu army, he could see their positions:
"Yes, yes, all of them are profound, Zhang Baiqi are you a military horse? Sanzhan Cao, you are also a military marquis? ”
Regarding the nickname of Sanzhan Cao, Cao Wu, who used to be a Zhanren and is now a Han person, was extremely embarrassed, but he refuted it incomparably, just smirked.
"Come on, come on, introduce two big people to you to know! Your commander, Marquis! Wei Yan, you know each other, and now he also knows you, Han Ji, the governor of the East China Sea, and the deputy general of the next naval battle, you also know you!
These four people are not ordinary, especially Zhang Baiqi, it can be said that the direct reason for the launch of this naval battle came from him!
It was he who proposed to the lord that he would attack the cliff mountain openly and attack the sea in secret! will make Zhou Tai lose so completely!
Tsk......"
Zou Tao pointed to the two-masted ship captured in the harbor:
"These big guys almost caused a catastrophe!"
Between the words of the giggling Zou Tao, Han Ji and Wei Yan showed a little admiration for Zhang Bai, and Wei Yan, who was particularly arrogant but admired the real talent, looked at him differently at this time, and nodded at Zhang Bai with admiration.
Zhang Bai's face was flushed, shy like a girl, and he didn't dare to say a word, that is, he didn't stop Zou Tao from touting him, who would have thought that such a shy person had just stabbed more than ten pirates.
Han Ji was guided by Zou Tao and looked at the two-masted ship transformed by Zhou Tai:
"I didn't think that these sloops would have such wisdom, not only modified sloops, but also made brigs, with the method of pretending to be people and leaving no empty space, the sloops were twice the number of our sloops, reaching sixty people.
The brigs surpassed our three-masted ships, reaching more than 100 people, and there was really a broadside battle, and victory was sure to win, but the price was ......."
Han Ji didn't go on, but everyone knew that eight brigs were transformed from Haikou's own fighting ships, twenty-four sloops were transformed from ships, and four sloops were used as bait.
As long as it is towed, the small pirate fishing boat joins again, and the sacrifice at that time may be uncontrollable.
This is also the reason why Zhou Tai dared to challenge before seeing the various attack methods of the Chu fleet.
This is also why Zhou Tai dared to sneak attack Chongming Island.
If the Chu army did not do a good job and waited for Zhou Tai to come in, if it did not adopt Zhang Bai's strategy and attack Yashan with all its strength first, the East China Sea Fleet, which was inferior in number to Haikou and scattered in number, would be taken by surprise again.
The East China Sea Fleet on Chongming Island is likely to be defeated by the pirates who have been at sea all year round, so the number of new sea vessels will increase greatly, and then the remaining ships of the East China Sea Fleet will be wiped out one by one.
Zhou Tai's prestige will be unmatched at sea for a while, and all the dormant water thieves and pirates will join Zhou Tai's team, so that they only need to break the Chu fleets scattered in various places one by one.
The sea is still the sea of pirates, and the coastal areas that Cao Jun focuses on developing will all become Zhou Tai's wedding dress.
It's a pity that Wu Peng, Jiang Qin, Han Ji, and Zou Tao, the four naval governors, all know that there is no if in this world, and with Cao Xing's emphasis on navigation, he will definitely not let this if come true.
"Haha! It's a pity that he Zhou Tai failed! Because in addition to being a general, his allies and subordinates are all rice buckets!
And we are civil and military talents, there are more fish in this sea!
How can he win! ”
Zou Tao's laughter dissolved the dullness, and he continued:
"And after dawn tomorrow, Zhou Tai, the king of the pirates, will be completely a thing of the past!
Tomorrow's Celebration Banquet! A few of us don't get drunk and don't go home! ”
"Ahem!"
Zou Tao was talking energetically, and suddenly a familiar coughing sound came from behind him, and suddenly he almost didn't jump up like a cat and mouse, and Wu Peng didn't see him have such a big reaction in front of him.
Zou Tao honestly looked like a good baby, looking back at the visitor:
"Military Discipline Chief, that celebration banquet drinks, that's right! Probably right! ”
The last sentence added should be correct, so that Zou Taotian is not afraid of the momentum of not being afraid of the ground.
The person who came was not an outsider, it was the chief of discipline of the South China Sea Fleet, the brother of Xiahou Lan of the Chu army, Xiahou Zheng.
Xiahou is adhering to the iron-faced and selfless tradition of the Xiahou family, and looks at Zou Tao with a straight face:
"You can drink it!"
Three words: Zou Tao is like a heavy burden.
looked as serious as Han Ji's face was full of smiles, and Wei Yan was even more unscrupulous and bent over.
Xiahou Zheng looked at Wei Yan without a smile on his face: "Junhou, how long have you been on the expedition?" How long have you been absent from the class of the guard camp? As the commander of tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, do you plan to be just a military marquis all the time? ”
"Ahem......"
Wei Yan couldn't laugh anymore and began to cough violently.
Xiahou nodded respectfully at Han Ji, for the time being, his expressionless face is respectful, left here, and walked to another bonfire, where is it, all of them are expressionless like him, and many high-ranking officials are surnamed Xiahou.
The celebration did not last long, Wu Peng announced that he would disband and rest, recuperate, and at dawn, the 50,000 naval divisions would set off again with 50,000 eight banners and 10,000 army soldiers to clean up the last lair of the pirates.
