Chapter 330: Preparations for Landing

The flotilla continued southward, and in the afternoon of the next day, under the guidance of several captives, the flotilla reached the waters north of the Penghu Islands.

Zhao Zizhong and Yan Yuese exchanged views with several captives and learned about the situation in the Penghu Islands.

Now there are thousands of immigrants from Fujian living here on the Penghu Islands, and they are reclaimed. And Lin Xiwang's pirate gang occupies the largest island in the archipelago, Penghu Island.

In addition to the families of hundreds of pirates, there are more than 1,000 immigrants from Fujian on Penghu Island. Some of their families have been living here for many years and have adapted to life here.

After Lin Xiwang's pirate gang occupied Penghu Island, these immigrants had no choice but to submit to the rule of the pirate gang. Every year, Lin Xiwang pays a lot of fish, food and money, and his family can't even fill his stomach.

The Penghu Islands used to be called "Pinghu", the name of Penghu is based on the largest island of Penghu and the three islands of Zhongtun, Baisha and Xiyu like a lake, the outer sea water is surging, and the waves in the lake are calm. The clarification is like a tide, hence the name.

The development of Penghu was very early, 400 years earlier than the development of the main island of Taiwan. According to legend, as early as the 6th year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty (610 AD), he had sent Huben Zhonglang City to Linluo Penghu.

Now thousands of people on the Penghu Islands are under the control of Lin Xiwang's pirate gang, and they are living miserably.

Under the guidance of several captives, Zhao Zizhong drew a simple nautical chart of the Penghu Islands. He sent people to gather all the main officers brought this time to the flagship, and everyone worked out a battle plan together.

Boris, Du Dalei, Guo Jintao, Zhai Xiaoshan, and Zhang Hong all gathered in the cabin of the flagship, as well as the Taiqin monk who came to observe. Zhao Zizhong also called Hu Yidao, Tian Renfeng, and Cheng Sangou and asked them to follow and learn.

Zhao Zizhong spread out the map on the table, "Let's take a look at it and express your opinions." ”

So several people began to study the map seriously, asking some questions from time to time.

After a while, Du Dalei shouted, "Boss, what's so difficult about this? As long as we raid the docks of Penghu Island and destroy all the pirate ships, they won't be able to escape! Then we'll be able to catch turtles in the urn, hehe. ”

Boris retorted: "No, there are several entrances and exits in Penghu Bay, and we only enter through one gap, what if the pirates run away from other entrances and exits?" ”

Guo Jintao suggested: "We can divide our troops and send a few warships to guard several entrances. We led the main fleet into Penghu Bay from the southwest, and quickly controlled the dock, so that the pirates could not escape. ”

Everyone thought about it, and they all said that Guo Jintao was old, and this method was not leaky, and he would definitely be able to catch all the pirates.

Zhao Zizhong said: "In this way, send three warships to block the other three entrances and exits." Let the supply fleet cooperate with them and scare the pirate ships that want to escape.

We led five warships of the main fleet to break through to Penghu Bay with lightning speed. Then quickly sink the pirate ships docked on the docks. * and * can be used.

After our warship docked at the dock, Boris and Du Dalei led the heavy infantry to land, and then Zhai Xiaoshan led 200 guards to follow up to cover the heavy infantry.

Zhai Xiaoshan was responsible for commanding crossbowmen and bombardiers, and closely protecting the heavy infantry. The battle array then advanced inland to destroy all resistance. Try to achieve zero casualties. Can you do it? ”

Everyone stood up and shouted, "Yes!" ”

"It will definitely be done!"

"Mr. Zhao, if you can't do it, you will cut off my head!" This is the second goods, Zhang Hong is swearing.

Zhao Zizhong laughed: "You kid is talking nonsense, what do I want your head for?" It's not delicious, so you might as well keep it for yourself. ”

Zhang Hong scratched his head and said, "Hehe, Mr. Zhao, that's what I said, can you really cut it?" I haven't married my mother-in-law yet, and I don't even have a son, isn't this a big loss? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Du Dalei put his arms around Zhang Hong's neck and said:

"Isn't it just a mother-in-law? When you return to Qishan Island, you can pick those big girls. No, I'll ask my sister-in-law to find you one. ”

Zhang Hong rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "That feeling is good!" I'm thirty-one years old, and I haven't tasted a woman yet. I saved some money, and I must marry a mother-in-law this year, and then I will have a lot of sons, hahaha! ”

Zhao Zi slapped the table again and shouted: "Be serious, the meeting hasn't finished yet." Zhang Hong, you are in charge of the fleet that plugs the gap, and gives you three warships, as well as all the other ships that supply the fleet.

If you can't finish the task of plugging the gap, get out of the convoy, find a busty mother-in-law, and become a farmer. You're sure to have a whole bunch of sons.

Now you get out of here, I don't want to see you again! ”

Zhang Hong immediately hugged his head and slipped out of the conference room.

Everyone laughed, and Cheng Sangou laughed heartlessly.

Zhao Zi glared at him again: "Are you kid tight-skinned?" Is it your turn to laugh at someone here? Do you know who you are? ”

Cheng Sangou immediately deflated, obediently shrunk his neck and stopped talking.

Zhao Zizhong still didn't let him go, and said sternly: "Jackie Chan, now I order you to go to the deck immediately." One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred weighted squats. You are supervised by Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng, and now the three of you. Fuck off now. ”

The three boys ran out in a gray manner, and Taichin asked:

"Master Zhao, are you too strict with these children?"

Zhao Zizhong smiled and said, "Master, I did it on purpose, I just don't want these boys to be too proud." They will surely grow up under the wing of our brothers. I just want them to go through some setbacks, which is conducive to the development of their character, so that they can develop the character of perseverance and perseverance. ”

Taiqin clasped his hands together: "Master Zhao, you are really a mentor and friend!" Under your teaching, the future of these orphans is limitless! ”

Du Dalei leaned over and said, "Monk, not only the eldest brother takes care of them, but our other brothers often take them to play and teach them to read and write." Why don't you praise me? ”

Tai Qin automatically ignored Du Dalei and said to Zhao Zizhong: "Master Zhao, the Sprinkle family has a request, please try to kill as little as possible when you capture the dock!" ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and said, "As long as those pirates don't resist, we won't kill innocents indiscriminately, master, please rest assured." ”

Tai Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Zhao Shizhu, after you occupy the dock, the Sprinkle family will go ashore to talk to the pirates, and try to persuade them to surrender." Please don't go on a killing spree. ”

Zhao Zizhong said solemnly: "Please rest assured, master, we will not kill people casually." As long as the pirates don't resist, we will treat them well.

Boris, you have to lead the heavy infantry to protect the master, and you must not make a mistake, understand? ”

Boris agreed to come down and went out to prepare. Du Dalei asked eagerly:

"Boss, you handed over the hoplites to Boris. So what am I doing? ”

Zhao Zizhong stared at Du Dalei for a while, Du Dalei was uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked: "Boss, if you have something to say, what are you watching me do?" ”

Zhao Zizhong said expressionlessly: "I regret it, you can follow me, you don't need to land with Boris." You went ashore with me with the great army. ”

Du Dalei was anxious: "Boss, you can't do this!" I didn't make a mistake, why could Boris go ashore with hoplites, why can't I go up? ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "You didn't make a mistake, Lao Tzu didn't let you go ashore in the first batch when he saw that you were unhappy, which is called a 'trumped-up' crime." What can you do to me? ”

Du Dalei said angrily: "Boss, I didn't recruit you or provoke you, why do you always target me?" ”

Zhao Zi was rejoiced: "Da Lei, you are so impulsive when you encounter problems, unlike Boris, he is a natural warrior, and he is worthy of being born in a fighting nation." He's very ruthless on the battlefield, never emotional, and you're no match for him. That's why I'm so worried about you that I can't let you take the risk. ”

Du Dalei was very moved, he nodded and said:

"Boss, I understand, you are really good for me, I will follow you obediently, and I will not have any opinions."

Guo Jintao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, I'll go out and prepare, you brothers talk slowly." ”

Zhai Xiaoshan also followed Guo Jintao out, and Monk Taiqin thought about it and said:

"Two donors, can you please stop using those horrible weapons yet? Let the Sprinkle family go ashore to persuade them first, if the pirates surrender, there will be fewer deaths. ”

Zhao Zizhong thought for a while, and said to Tai Qin:

"Well, let the ships fire a few* at the no-man's land next to the docks to scare the pirates. If they surrender, we will not kill. Monk, what do you think? ”

Taechen nodded, clasping his hands together:

"Good, good, thank you Zhao Shizhu. It's best not to hurt people's lives. ”

Zhao Zizhong asked Taiqin to go to the deck with them to watch the battle, and Taiqin readily agreed, and the three of them left the cabin and stepped onto the deck.

The guards were busy, and the guards who operated the bed crossbow and ballista were working intensively, winding the bed crossbow and ballista and preparing the ammunition.

The guards preparing for the landing were wearing leather armor and preparing their weapons. Everything was in order, Zhao Zizhong and Du Dalei patrolled the deck, chatting with the guards from time to time, trying to ease their tension.

Some of the nervous guys didn't care about the coming fight, and they still joked with Du Dalei, laughing at him for not being able to lead the hoplites ashore to fight.

Du Da Lei kicked these guys' butts a few times, and said triumphantly: "You know a fart!" Lao Tzu is getting married, I don't want to kill people, I want to accumulate some yin virtue for the soon-to-be-born child. ”
