As expected by Zhu Xia, Gan Ning Gan Xingba was holding a ring-headed knife in his hand, revealing Chiguo's dark and sturdy upper body, and was confronting a strong man with a big waist and a round waist on Guanglu Island, and behind the two sides were Han soldiers and pirates.

"I am Gan Ning, the Minister of the Han Navy, and I am here to surrender this time! Wait for ......"
Without waiting for Gan Ning to finish speaking, the strong man with a big waist and a round waist sneered and said:
"I don't care if you're a big man or a small man, surrender? Yes, when you die, dare to break into your grandfather's territory and spread wild, your grandfather and I didn't find trouble in the Han Kingdom, but he came to trouble me, I am so fat! Kill them all, brethren! β
"Insulting a big man deserves death! Brothers, punish Hirokashima as much as possible, and leave no one alive! Gan Ning saw that the strong man dared to insult the Han Kingdom, so he ordered without saying a word.
The two sides suddenly collided and blended together like a tide, and it was the daredevils who rushed to the front, they wanted to control the fate of others, so they could only fight desperately, and then they could control the life and death of others!
This pirate force of more than 900 people, usually raiding the coastal areas, relying on the fact that they came and went without a trace, and those countries did not pay attention to shipbuilding for a living, and also attacked the Han State last year, taking advantage of the autumn harvest to loot a lot of grain.
And at the beginning of this year, Zhu Xia crossed over, and before they could react, the Han State defeated the Zhuang State and built ports and cities, and the army increased greatly, and the Han State was small, so there was not much room for sneak attacks.
In addition, there are strong Japanese people, so they did not invade the Han Kingdom, but took advantage of the Three Kingdoms War to take advantage of a lot of advantages, but a few days ago, the three ships that came from nowhere used trickery to lure out their greed, and the blades that came from nowhere were actually very powerful, and they lost a lot of his manpower.
Now this so-called Han Kingdom still doesn't know what to do, and they dare to surrender, they are chic and happy here, why should they give their lives to a little kid?
However, when they saw the group of dwarfs rushing to the front, they immediately remembered and shouted, "They are the same gang of widows from yesterday!" They're very well armed..."
Poofββ
A Japanese man in the middle of the second banner is long and fast, for fear of being preempted by others, he slashes down, splitting the leather armor on the opponent's body, and splitting a deep wound that can be seen.
The backhand was another knife, as if cutting through the air, easily cutting off his head, reaching out like lightning, taking the head that was about to fall to the ground, hanging it at his waist, and continuing to kill another person!
Gan Ning also confronted the pirate leader, and the pirate leader screamed and rushed towards Gan Ning, and when the two were less than 10 meters apart, the pirate leader suddenly swung his sword and stabbed Gan Ning in the heart.
Seeing this, Gan Ning immediately took his right foot as the axis, and his left foot drew an arc, narrowly avoiding the blade of the sword, and at the same time, he suddenly jumped backwards, and his back hand slashed with a knife, slashing at the iron sword of the pirate leader who missed in front of him!

The moment when swords intersect and sparks flash!
The pirate leader's iron sword was sliced unhindered by Gan Ning's ring-headed knife, as if it was slicing through a very fast and resilient flesh!
The pirate leader looked at the hilt of the sword, which was more than half shorter, and before he could react, he was immediately cut off by Gan Ning's sword, and the pirate's head twitched with extreme difficulty for a while, and the look in his eyes suddenly extinguished.
The iron swords in the hands of these pirates were completely crushed by the ring-headed sword in the hands of the Han soldiers, and even if they occasionally slashed the Han soldiers, they were also prevented by the armor on the Han soldiers.
Medium carbon steel blades are not good, and cutting a bamboo will curl the blade, but when the armor is absolutely qualified, not to mention that most of the area of the armor is equivalent to two layers of armor of double defense, resulting in a significant reduction in the casualty rate of the Han army.
As for the Eight Banners? The Eight Banners Army is not allowed to wear armor!
And so the slaughter came!
A one-sided war is a massacre!
As soon as Gan Ning and the others killed less than two hundred people, the pirates collapsed, screaming and fleeing in all directions, and some tried to escape by breaking up, and then find other pirates to come back for revenge.
"You immediately send someone to hunt on the island, and I just want the result! And I guarded the perimeter of the patrol island to prevent the leakage of information. Got it? Gan Ning asked the two banner owners of the Eight Banners.
"Minions understand!"
"Excellent! Do a good job, I will report your performance to you truthfully! β
At the same time, Zhu Xia was originally writing about the production method of tofu brain, but he noticed that the war points were different, and immediately looked intently, and saw that the war points first skyrocketed, and then rose a little more every once in a while.
I immediately guessed that it was very likely that Gan Ning's side started fighting, stared at it for a while, and then lowered his head and started some tofu brains, as well as how to make tofu.
However, due to the scarcity of products, tofu brain and tofu are not as delicious as in later generations, but the green vegetable tofu soup is considered to be alive, although Zhu Xia likes to drink tomato and egg soup, but more or less found a little bit of the feeling of a restaurant in the previous life.
It's not the taste that eats alone, but the feelings!
Zhu Xia poured some water on the cactus, took an autumn pear from the plate on the side, put it to his mouth and nibbled it, chewing the flesh, and was about to go to the military workshop to go around, Xiao Guizi hurriedly walked in and hurriedly reported:
"Your Majesty, General Zhang Liao sent someone to report that after dozens of soldiers in the army came out of the forest, hundreds of people fell ill soon after. I would like to ask Deacon Zhang to take a look. β
"What about the medics? What do the military doctors say? "Zhuxia was shocked, the loss of hundreds of people at once, this is simply fatal!
"The military doctors are helpless, there is no solution, most of them are traumatic bruises, so ......" Xiao Guizi obviously also asked the messenger, and when he saw Zhu Xia asking, he hurriedly told him.
Could it be malaria?
They went into the mountains and forests, and it was supposed to be malaria.
But the cinchona tree is still in the Americas and is the main force in the treatment of malaria.
Legend has it that an Indian in the region of Maracatos in the Americas was stricken with malaria and was thirsty and thirsty, so he crawled to a small pond deep in the forest, drank a lot of bitter water, and soon felt much better.
Later, I learned that there were many cinchona trees growing next to the pond, and some of them were poured into the water, and the bitter smell was the liquid leaching from the bark.
Since then, the local Indians have used this bitter bark to heal themselves when they encounter malaria. Due to repeated attempts and results, it is regarded as a miracle medicine by the local aborigines and has been passed down from generation to generation.
In addition, the treatment of malaria is only available in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica. As for the Compendium of Materia Medica, who would be idle to see that thing, Zhu Xia only vaguely remembered when he was reading Tu Youyou's encyclopedia, what should I do now?
With the ancient medical environment, this is not a dead end?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhuxia also felt a chill, if he contracted malaria, if he had any disease, what should he do?
"Go, call Zhang Si over, and I'll go see the situation too."
