Chapter 424: Shao Erdongshang's Temptation
Shao Er Dongshang's mouth was open enough to stuff a goose egg, a pair of red eyes were about to fall off, at first those orange flames were still within the scope of his understanding, but when Zhen Jiu gave an order and replaced it with a thunderbolt, Shao Er Dongshang's entire worldview began to collapse.
"Shouldn't this be a power in the hands of humans?"
Shao Er Dongshang stood at the bow of the ship and his body kept trembling, a pair of hands grabbed the ship's board, the kind of thunder that can produce a loud noise every sound is like a heavy hammer hitting his chest, with the sound of explosions, the messy corpses were thrown into the sky, those pirates who were still watching the excitement just now have become frightened birds, headless and brainless running around, the scene can no longer be described as chaos.
Genji was standing beside the young two Dongshang, because her face was covered with fat powder, she couldn't see the expression on her face at all, only a small mouth kept making strange noises.
The three rounds of fire and oil bombs were followed by indiscriminate thunderbolt attacks, which were a long-established attack strategy designed to deter pirates in the first place and make them lose the idea of resisting.
From the mouths of the captives, it was learned that there were five or six hundred more pirates in the Nine Ghost Jialong's lair these days, and the number of pirates on the island was almost more than a thousand, so it was impossible for so many pirates to get rid of at once, and in the end it could only be a lose-lose result.
Of course, Zhen Qian would not be stupid enough to directly attack the lair of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, and after discussing it with Zhen Jiu, he thought that it would be more appropriate to lure the pirates to the beach. Under his first round of blows, the pirates on the island will definitely no longer have the idea of gathering together to keep warm, and this is the best time to break through.
The two small boats were put down, Wang Tianxing led the first batch of people ashore, quickly established a landing position, and the follow-up guards began to land in small boats in an orderly manner, expanding into a fan to the surroundings.
"Kill all the pirates on the island, and leave not a single one behind!"
This is the battle order issued by Zhen Qian, he has no good impression of the pirates themselves, these people not only threaten the trade at sea, but also go ashore to slaughter, of course, the pirates of the Japanese country are now slaughtering their own people, and Zhen Qian has nothing to do with it, but he stubbornly thinks that the pirates have robbed their own business, blocking people's money and money like killing their parents, this hatred is already very big.
There were not many guards coming ashore, about less than two hundred, and the rest were to protect the ships.
Zhen Qian didn't let Shao Er Dongshang and his wife get off the ship, the reason was of course to protect the two, but Qingyan knew in his heart that Zhen Qian blamed Shao Er Dongshang for secretly making trouble for this chance encounter with pirates.
Just like the pirate who captured his own confession, the Nine Ghosts Jialong celebrated his birthday in his lair, and he didn't have any idea of robbery at all these days.
At first, Zhen Qian thought that Shao Er Dongshang might be secretly colluding with the Nine Ghosts Jialong, but after defeating the second pirate master, he found that this possibility was no longer very likely. Then the remaining possibility is very obvious, it is Shao Er Dongshang who secretly leaked the news, and now the only thing that Zhen Qian can't figure out is that what is the benefit of leaking the news to Shao Er Dongshang, isn't he afraid that he will fall into the hands of pirates?
This answer is incomprehensible, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words woke up Zhen Qian, the pirates of the Wa Kingdom have never robbed the nobles and officials of the Wa Kingdom, and even if they meet, they will go around, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi said this sentence as a joke, he immediately understood that Shao Erdong Shang was very worried about his safety.
The answer is very simple, or the inferiority complex of the pirates is at fault, maybe other people will not understand, but how can Zhen Qian, who has read "Water Margin", not understand the psychology of these pirates, when Song Jiang caught the high ball, the high ball was scared to death, but Song Jiang was like a child who had done something wrong and asked for forgiveness in front of the high ball, saying that he was dedicated to the court, and he was forced to be a robber, hoping that the court could recruit him and give him a chance to reform and serve the court.
I'm afraid that these pirates are like Song Jiang in their hearts, the reason why these pirates are unwilling to offend nobles and officials is because they want to be able to go ashore one day and get the opportunity to recruit peace, it seems that only in this way can they explain why Shao Erdong is not afraid of pirates.
After thinking about this truth, Zhen Qian didn't want to break it, it was just using each other, and he was not using Shao Er Dongshang.
Asymmetrical battles tend to be of little interest, those pirates who have been frightened have fled into the island, the topography of this island is a bit peculiar, a very large piece of cake has been bitten, the area of the island is not large, there are not many trees on the island, there are cliffs and rocks everywhere, if you detour to the back of the island, you will find that this island is very similar to the skull island in the movie.
From the mouth of the captive, I know that there are many caves on the island, and the largest cave is the lair of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, but the biggest feature of this island is not that there are many caves, but that there is an extinct volcano in the middle of the island, and the volcano is rich in sulfur.
Since ancient times, the Wa Kingdom has produced the best sulfur and saltpeter, which is of course determined by the geographical structure of the country, and also contributed to the country's rich gold and silver reserves.
The cave on the island is actually a tubular cavity created after the magma flowed a long time ago, with such a complex terrain, even if you lead a large army, it is difficult to eliminate all the pirates who fled into the cave, hiding here is indeed a good choice, but unfortunately this time the pirates met Zhen Qian.
Zhen Qian didn't think about killing all the pirates at all, it's not that he can't, but he can't, only he knows how difficult it is to eliminate the pirates who escaped into the cave, and his own manpower is insufficient, the only way is to trap all the pirates in the cave, which is not difficult for Zhen Qian, who has gunpowder.
The pirates on the beach were either burned to death by the explosive oil or blown away by the gunpowder, and even if some were not dead, they had already turned into a walking corpse under the huge impact of the gunpowder.
The pirates who escaped got into the holes scattered everywhere at the first time, Zhen Qian took people to guard on the beach, Wang Tianxing had already led people into the cave, and when he left, he was strictly ordered not to go deeper, and once he found that something was wrong, he immediately withdrew, for himself whether to kill these pirates now is not a problem at all, but if he loses a few people in the cave, he will make himself feel uncomfortable.
"Lang Jun, are you really not going to pursue Shao Er Dongshang's betrayal of us?"
Light smoke covered her mouth and nose and walked on the beach, at first it was the power of fire oil bombs, and now she has seen the terrifying heavenly punishment of thunderbolts, this woman walked around the island, and personally felt the tragic situation left by the two weapons, and did not ask why Zhen Qian had such a weapon, but cared about Shao Er Dongshang.
Shao Er Dongshang leaked our whereabouts, there are no more than two reasons, one is unwilling, and the other is to test our strength, I think both of these reasons are possible?
