The remaining three ships guarding the flagship of the Shujia bandits were also besieged by the warships of the Jieyi Army one after another, forcing them to stay, and finally being captured and forced to surrender. Until the end, the flagship of the Shu family water bandits was also surrounded by several large ships of the Jieyi Army, becoming a turtle in the urn.

The other ships of the Jieyi Army Naval Division began to clean up the warships of the Shujia bandits around them. The flagship was surrounded, the warships of the sailors of the Jieyi Army attacked rapidly, they could not escape, the old nest was forced, their families were taken, and the remnants of these water bandits stopped their ships and lowered their sails to surrender.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Hu Le appeared opposite Shu Lin's car and began to persuade the other party to surrender. It's not that Hu Le can't destroy the other party, but that he wants to use Shu Lin to recover the entire team of water bandits. Especially on the island, there are still many remnants of water bandits.

The Shu family water bandits, since there is a Shu character before the name, this also shows the influence of Shu Lin and other people of the Shu family in this group of water bandits. The Shu family was also a powerful family in the past, even if they became water bandits, most of the water bandits were the children of the Shu family and the slaves of the Shu family. In addition, he is still fighting against the Qi army, so Hu Le wants this water bandit to integrate into him quickly and play a role. Otherwise, if you want to accommodate them, isn't it small? If Shu Lin and the others are executed, they are afraid that if they surrender this water bandit, it will basically be useless. In that case, I'm afraid that Hu Le can only kill these water bandits.

In this way, although you can get a lot of warships and money and food supplies on the island, but without sailors and soldiers, even if you have ships, what can you do? It doesn't work, and it's a cheap enemy to keep it.

"Leader Shu, now that you have no way to escape, your family is also in our hands, and most of the warships and soldiers under your command have been captured by our army, do you still want to fight to the death? If you don't think about yourself, think about your family, think about your ship and the brethren on the ship around you. The war is over, and I hope that Chief Shu will make a choice that everyone is happy with. ”

Above the flagship of the Shu family bandits, Shu Lin had a gloomy face and said coldly: "What, since the war is over and you have won the battle, do you still need to persuade us to surrender?" Wouldn't it be better to just shoot the arrows? You want us to work for you. ”

Hu Le laughed and said, "That's right, it's true! Leader Shu, now in the waters of Taihu Lake, our Jieyi Army is fighting against the Qi Army, and it is impossible to continue to be water bandits here. Either take refuge in the Qi army, or take refuge in us. If the Shu family bandits can be used by us, then it goes without saying that not only your family will survive, but you and your brothers will also be our colleagues in the future. How is the Qi Army Sailor? Leader Shu should have a deep understanding by now. Even if the conditions they give are good, however, in the waters, at least, in the waters of Taihu Lake, they are far inferior to us. ”

Shu Lin sneered: "Yes, but this land of Yangzhou is still the world of the Qi army, even if you are the leader of the Jieyi Army, but whether you can resist the encirclement and suppression of the Qi army, it is still two words." If you take refuge in you, you will continue to become a bandit in the future. ”

Hu Le smiled lightly: "Really? Yangzhou is the world of the Qi army, but our Jieyi army still defeated the Qi army several times and occupied the northeast of Yangzhou. In addition, we have the support of Da Zhao behind our Jieyi Army, why are we afraid of the Qi Army? ”

Saying that, Hu Le's face turned cold, and he continued in a deep voice: "General Ben doesn't have time to discuss with you the question of who is strong and who is weak, at least, here, in front of us, our Jieyi army is already stronger than the Qi army, and we have defeated you." If it does not fall, for the sake of safety, no one will survive on Shujia Island. Leader Shu, we don't have to need you, without you, we can still defeat the so-called Qi army sailor team commanded by Yan Mingfeng. ”

Seeing that Hu Le immediately turned his face, Shu Lin was also stunned, and immediately asked: "Before Shu makes a decision, can you ask General Hu." General Hu ambushed us here, isn't he afraid that Yan Mingfeng will lead the army to see that there is nothing wrong in the north and turn back here? ”

Hu Le said coldly: "We have more than ten clippers, and we have already led Yan Mingfeng to the north under the banner of our righteous army." He wanted to turn back and wait until he realized something was wrong. ”

Hearing that Hu Le was all the same, Shu Lin's heart couldn't help jumping, and the luck that still existed completely disappeared. According to what the other party said, the fleet of the sailors of the Jieyi Army can be repaired here for a few days. Then, whether they surrender or not, the Jieyi Army will be able to absorb the Shujia water bandits. The only difference is the number of people available in it.

Thinking of this, Shu Lin couldn't help but sigh helplessly, bowed to Hu Leyao, and said in a deep voice: "Shu Lin is willing to surrender!" ”

After Shulin surrendered, Hu Le began to clean up the battlefield, repair the warships, and began to collect Shujia bandits on Shujia Island. Among them, the captured warships, plus the part that was originally left behind, totaled more than 30 ships, of course, large and small. Only half of them can be used for warships. Most of the rest were fishing boats, after all, the bandits could not all live on raiding, in addition to plundering passing merchant ships, the island's family members and non-war pawns all made a living from fishing. Because they are water bandits, they don't have to pay taxes, so they don't have to pay a lot of burdens. It can be said that they are much better than the ordinary people who live on land.

In addition, because of the surrender of Shu Lin and others, more than 500 sailors and 300 sailors were recruited. The others are all unqualified for the Jieyi Army.

"General, we still have some men in the north who are pursuing the part of the men and horses going north, and if we meet them in the future, we may be hostile. Did the subordinates arrange for someone to inform them, and be ready to be separated from the other bandits at any time? After solving the problem of Shujia Island, Shu Lin suddenly remembered that some of his men and horses were still dividing their troops with the other three bandits, and were pursuing the fleet of the Righteous Army on the way north.

Hu Le thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, you can send your cronies to inform them, so that they don't need to come back, and just move closer to the Jieyi Army Sailor on the North Road." General Ben will also send someone to inform our men and horses that they will be prepared. You just need to find an opportunity to leave suddenly, and the other bandits will be caught off guard, and they will have no problem getting out. ”

And what is Yan Mingfeng doing at this moment? After learning that the water division of the Jieyi Army divided his troops to attack the nest of the other three water bandits, except for the Shujia water bandits, who left alone to deal with the aftermath because of the attack on the old nest, the other three water bandits all followed Yan Mingfeng and ran to the nearest lair, hoping to take down the other party when the water division of the Jieyi Army attacked this place.

Of course, if the Jieyi army has already moved, it will gather the remnants of its old nest and send down the other two. Because the nests of these three water bandits are still arranged from south to north, the three of them gladly accepted Yan Mingfeng's arrangement. Especially the nests of the other two Du Zirong and Yu Wen are still on the same island. So, the two of them weren't too worried. The care between the two of them is good, and after the recruitment of the Qi army, the two nests also have contacts with each other, and if the Jieyi Army sailors attack, they can also unite with each other.

Yan Mingfeng led the fleet to the southernmost part of the water bandit Fang Dahai's old nest Swallow Island, like Shujia Island, is also a small island, which was watched by Fang Dahai and selected as the foundation place. When Yan Mingfeng's fleet arrived here, it happened to encounter the fleet of the Jieyi Army preparing to take action here. However, when Yan Mingfeng's Qi Army Sailor appeared, because the clairvoyance of the Jieyi Army's Sailor was better than that of the Qi Army, he fled when he saw the Qi Army's fleet appear.

Seeing this situation, how could Yan Mingfeng let it go? And Fang Dahai saw that the old nest was fine, and he didn't stay, so together with Yan Mingfeng, the three water bandits converged, and chased after him, leaving all the fleets of the Righteous Army sailors on this road. Especially Yan Mingfeng, seeing that there were not many warships of the Jieyi Army fleet that had escaped, he was even more depressed. After all, such a fleet, which was equivalent to twice the size, raided the Xu family manor and copied Shujia Island. Moreover, they were led by the nose by each other for several days.

Therefore, Yan Mingfeng was determined to leave the other party behind this time. Therefore, he immediately ordered the fleet to chase after him. However, the speed of this fleet of the Jieyi Army was very fast, so that the Qi Army Sailors, who had far more ships than the opponent, could not catch up. As a result, one chased, the other fled, and it was done, and the two sides fled in circles around Du Zirong's old neighborhood.

At the beginning, Yan Mingfeng thought that the other party was really running for his life, but when he saw that the other party was going around Nuoda, in fact, he was still going in a circle near Lei Shan Island, Du Zirong's old nest, Yan Mingfeng immediately felt that something seemed wrong. At this time, Yan Mingfeng had been chasing this Jie Yi Army for more than three days. Thinking about it carefully, Yan Mingfeng had already chased the fleet of the Jieyi Army Navy from Fang Dahai's old nest to Leishan Island, and fled around the island on a large scale.

And at this moment, the news of Shujiadao finally came belatedly and reached his ears. The battle between the sailors of the Jieyi Army and the Shujia water bandits, even if no one was watching the battle from close at that time, the scattered fragments of the warships were still floating with the water, and the battlefield after the battle was also detected by the patrol boats of the merchant ships and the three-way water bandits of the Qi Army Sailors.

After these people found out the situation, the sailors of the Jieyi Army had already collected the Shujia bandits for several days, and had already repaired some of the warships with minor injuries and could continue to participate in the war.

After learning that someone had come to investigate the situation on Shujia Island, Hu Le already knew that it must have been the spies of the Qi Army's sailors in this area and the ships sent by the three water bandits under the command of the Qi Army's Sailors, who were responsible for collecting tolls from the surrounding merchant ships. Maybe he saw the fragments of the warship drifting with the waves, so he deliberately came to investigate.

Hu Le understands that the situation on Shujia Island can't be hidden for long. Once the situation here reaches Yan Mingfeng's ears, then, the Qi Army Sailor will immediately go south and confront him, which will not be conducive to his next plan. Hu Le is going to prepare to play a big game with the Qi army in the central region of Taihu Lake this time, so that the Jieyi Army Naval Division can occupy the central waters of Taihu Lake, and in the comparison with the water power of the Qi Army, the Jieyi Army will have a stable advantage.

Hu Le did not sit still on Shujia Island, although he has now incorporated the Shujia Island water bandits, although he has captured the warships of the Shujia Island water bandits, but he still has to compare with the three-way water bandit forces gathered by the Qi army's sailors. Hu Le was unwilling to lose both sides with the Qi army in this water, or die together. This time, the water division of the Jieyi Army and the water division of the Qi army fought, although there was no abnormality around, many water bandits sent people to watch the battle here. If your own strength is lost too much, then it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be taken advantage of by others in the end.

You must know that there is a lot of money on Shujia Island. If the Sailing Division of the Jieyi Army and the Naval Division of the Qi Army were both defeated and suffered heavy losses, not only Shujia Island, but also the nests of the three water bandits in the other two places, would not be able to escape well. If you work hard and work hard, but the benefits are cheaper than others, then it is better not to fight.

After Hu Le found out that someone was investigating the situation here, he immediately ordered the sailor to set off and take action against the nearest Swallow Island in Fang Dahai. The people of the Qi Army Sailor are probing their own situation, so why is he also investigating the actions of the Qi Army Sailor. Therefore, Hu Le attacked first before the Qi army reacted.

Dozens of large and small warships attacked, and the Jieyi Army, which combined the original strength of the Jieyi Army and the power of the Shujia bandits, was even more powerful. But Swallow Island was not the slightest defense. In other words, he was reminded by Fang Dahai that although he was on guard, most of the water bandits on Swallow Island were led by Fang Dahai and followed Yan Mingfeng into action.

Therefore, the defense of Swallow Island is not very strong at all, and it is the same as Shujia Island in the past, at most it is a little more prepared than Shujia Island. However, they did face the main force of the Righteous Army's sailors. Although the terrain of Swallow Island is more steep than Shujia Island, and although Swallow Island has also made all kinds of precautions, but what is it, the main force of the Qi Army and the Naval Division is here, where do they live?

Therefore, a battle that did not take a long time ended smoothly, and the water bandits and their families on Swallow Island all fell into the hands of the Jieyi army. Of course, this time Hu Le did not continue to wait for the persuasion of Fang Dahai. Directly confiscate all the family business accumulated by the water bandits on the island, and take away the craftsmen who repair the warships on the island and various other craftsmen. Even the water bandits on the island who were willing to join the Jieyi Army were all taken away by Hu Le. It can be said that Hu Le left only an empty island for the water bandits. And, of course, their families. Hu Le didn't kill them, and he didn't want to completely anger them and let them fight to the death with him.

Yan Mingfeng didn't continue to pursue those Jieyi Army sailor fleets at this moment, if he didn't understand at this moment, the Jieyi Army sailor fleet in front of him was just a bait to attract them, then he was really a fool. was played like this by the sailor of the Jieyi Army, and Yan Mingfeng was also angry. However, he calmed down and did not turn back in a hurry, because he didn't know what tricks the Jieyi Army sailors would play.

Yan Mingfeng, who calmed down, found that he was angered by the Jieyi Army because of the attack on the Xu family's manor from the beginning, and he was led by the Jieyi Army, completely neglecting to pay attention to intelligence. Judging from the actions of the Jieyi Army before and after this time, the sailors of the Jieyi Army who have been going north are naturally very likely to be the bait of the Jieyi Army, and they are obviously luring themselves to divide their troops. This is also why, the original three-way people, after their own division of troops, will become two-way. Come to think of it, those two roads are empty banners, but no strength teams.

Yan Mingfeng, who came to his senses, immediately asked people to go north, to inform the fleet that went north to pursue the sailors of the Jieyi Army, and asked them to turn back immediately, since that road was a decoy, it was naturally mainly based on clippers, and after missing soldiers, supplies and a large number of supplies, these clippers were not easy to catch up with the warships under their command. In addition, further north, it is the control area of the Jieyi Army's water division, and if the Jieyi army's water division attack, they will fall into an ambush.

Just after arranging these, Yan Mingfeng once again received a very bad news, the southernmost road among the sailors under his command, that is, the old nest Swallow Island under Fang Dahai's department, was attacked by the Jieyi Army's sailors. This time, Yan Mingfeng's clipper has already explored the detailed situation, the Shujia water bandits on Shujia Island have been persuaded to surrender by the Jieyi Army Sailors, and in addition to the Jieyi Army Sailors warships, there are also Shujia water bandits. Moreover, the main force of the Jieyi Army's water division, in the past few days, has been resting on Shujia Island, reorganizing the soldiers, and has not left.

"Hateful!" When Yan Mingfeng heard the news, his face turned pale, he was ashamed, angry and surprised. After a long time, he took the Qi army sailor to go around in circles here, while the other party was recuperating and watching the play on the side. Not only that, but he also incorporated one of his own. Yan Mingfeng is also a wise general under Shen Tuxiong, but unfortunately, water warfare and land warfare are different. Therefore, when Yan Mingfeng led the warship to fight with the sailors of the Jieyi Army, he was restricted everywhere, that is, he commanded the warships to meet the battle, and most of him arranged for the leaders of the bandits to command, he was just commanding the overall situation.

Before he could convene the leaders of the three water bandits, Fang Dahai asked Yan Mingfeng to lead the army back to Swallow Island, and fought to the death with the Jieyi Army on the front line of Shujia Island with the Jieyi Army. Although it was learned from the spies who came back to report that the Jieyi Army did not kill his family, the family business and private wealth he had worked so hard to accumulate now fell into the hands of the Jieyi Army. In addition, the remaining sailors on the island, the craftsmen who repaired the warships and made tools, and the ships that stayed behind have now fallen into the hands of the Jieyi army. It can be said that the current Fang Dahai is already empty.

If he just leaves, it is still two things to say whether he can feed those brothers and the old and weak women and children on the island, so Fang Dahai is very anxious now, and he also hates the sailors of the Jieyi Army very much. If he can defeat the sailors of the Jieyi Army, he will have a chance to get these belongings back.

And the leaders of the other two roads naturally hope to get rid of the Jieyi Army Sailor long ago. During this period of time, the sailors of the Jieyi Army have already destroyed two old nests. If it continues, who can guarantee that the remaining two families will not suffer the same fate?
