Chapter 186: Sneak Attack
On the same day that the battle of Aoshan began, under the leadership of Wang Zhi, pirates came from the eastern coast. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info went straight into Jiaozhou Bay and launched an attack on Qingdao, the defenders of Qingdao were less than 200 people, and the fleet purchased by Liu Fan was not in Jiaozhou because of the needs of trade. With the simple coastal defense that Qingdao had just built, it was simply not possible to effectively stop the pirates.
From the attack of the pirates to the complete occupation of Qingdao, it only took an hour for the pirates under Wang Zhi's command. Qingdao was occupied, and the shipyard near Qingdao also fell. The shipyards that Liu Fan painstakingly built all fell into the hands of pirates.
"Rich! The Commander has made us rich! A pirate leader rushed to Wang Zhi and laughed and reported!
After such a simple capture of Qingdao, Wang Zhi was in a good mood, and asked with a smile, "What kind of fortune did you make?" Is there anything else that can't be treasured in this town!? ”
The pirate leader replied with a smile on his face, respectfully, "Grand Commander! I just took someone around the neighborhood and found a shipyard in the official army! Boy! Not only are there a lot of craftsmen, but there are also three small fortune boats and five sand boats, all of which are brand new! There are even three warships! Do you think we're getting rich? ”
Wang Zhi exclaimed, "Shipyard!? Made! It seems that Lao Tzu is still lucky! As soon as you come up, you catch a big fish! What about the ship? What about craftsmen? ”
The pirate leader was full of pride: "Commander, rest assured!" How could I let go of something so good! Ships and craftsmen have pulled in our fleet! I also caught a few red-haired ghosts! There are also three large Western warships in the shipyard that have just been keeled, and I guess they were built with the help of those red-haired ghosts! I can't take a fire with me and burn them all! What we can't eat, we can't leave it to the officers and soldiers! You say yes, right? "The pirate leader looked boastful, and he almost said, I did such a good job, come and praise me!
Unexpectedly, it was not Wang Zhi's praise that greeted him, but a heartwarming kick. Wang Zhi kicked him to the ground and shouted, "Made! You idiot! How can Lao Tzu have a stupid pig like you! Three large warships! A shipyard! I'll let you burn it! Why do you dare to make a decision privately without asking Lao Tzu? Who gave you the guts? ”
The pirate leader was dumbfounded, and when he saw his boss's angry face, he trembled, and quickly explained, "The Great Commander is angry!" The little ones are also for your sake! You see, we can't get rid of these big objects in the past three or two days, so the small ones are doing this! We can't be cheaper! If you can't eat it, you have to step on it! ”
When Wang Zhi heard this, he was even more angry, grabbed the roots around him, and beat those who covered his face, and scolded in his mouth, "Are you an idiot? Lao Tzu has been mixed up for so many years, and there are only four or five big ships when he is full! That's a battleship with a keel, and if you drag it, you have to tow it away for me! Not to mention that there are still ready-made workers! You don't know how much silver a ship costs! Stupid pig! You're still proud! I've got you covered! ”
Wang Zhi's anger was burning, and the wooden stick hit the leader with a whistling sound, and the leader didn't dare to dodge, so he could only curl up and let Wang Zhi beat him, and let out a burst of screams from his mouth, and begged for mercy in a weak tone: "The commander spares his life!" The little ones don't dare anymore! ”
Because of excessive force, the stick could not withstand Wang Zhi's force and broke. At this time, Li Tianxing, who was beside him, spoke out in time to stop: "Okay! Stop it! If you fight again, you'll die! That's it! It's no use for you to kill him! I told you a long time ago to strengthen military discipline, you can't be so casual! You just don't listen! If you listen to me, who would dare to make a decision now? You have to bear the consequences of your own work, and he just took you through it! Stop! ”
After some venting, Wang Zhi's anger in his heart decreased a lot, and when he heard Mr. Li say this, it was not good to continue to blame the leader, so he had to stop and say, "Made!" This time, for Mr. Li's sake, I will spare your life! If you dare to do it again, next time it will not be a stick but a knife! Thank you Mr. Li yet! ”
The leader struggled to get up and said to Li Tianxing, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for saving your life!" ”
Li Tianxing glanced at the leader with an indifferent face, and cherished the words like gold, "Hmm!" Let's go down! ”
"Didn't you hear Mr. Li? Don't get out of here! Wang Zhi shouted
Sending away this eye-catching guy, Wang Zhi said to Li Tianxing with emotion: "I didn't expect that there is a shipyard in this big fart place in Jiaozhou!" This Liu Fan is really rich! Lao Tzu can't wait to see what that Shihe City is like! ”
Li Tianxing didn't have the same good temperament as Wang Zhi, and said in a deep voice: "This means that this Liu Fan has a lot of ambition!" Otherwise, why would he still bother to build a shipyard in such a small place! To avoid long nights and dreams! Looks like we're going to have to take the Stone River as soon as possible! ”
Wang Zhi is not a brainless person, judging from the current situation, this Liu Fan does have two brushes! For such an existence, Wang Zhi didn't dare to take it lightly, and nodded in agreement, "Hmm! Sir is right! Late will change! I'm going to gather my sons and go! ”
With the king's order, the pirates could no longer continue to plunder the surrounding people, and urgently gathered together to reorganize their men. More than 3,000 people marched along the official road to Shihe!
Just half an hour after the pirates captured Qingdao, Sun Yuanhua, who stayed in Shihe City, received the news of the fall of Qingdao! Sun Yuanhua was shocked: "What!?" Pirates attack Qingdao!? Qingdao lost? ”
The herald replied with a bitter face, "Yes! Not only Qingdao has fallen! Even the shipyards in Qingdao were captured by enemy troops! Because it happened so suddenly, we were defeated before we even had time to react! None of the craftsmen of the shipyard escaped! ”
Sun Yuanhua was silent for a moment, the shipyard was occupied by pirates! He knows the seriousness of the matter! The capture of the shipyard means that Liu Fan's dream of spending a lot of money and painstakingly building a naval fleet will be extended indefinitely! And that's not all! The most important thing is that their army has been taken away by Zhang Yao and others, and there are less than a thousand defenders left in the huge Shihe City, and most of these people are new recruits, and they have never been on the battlefield at all!
In the face of menacing pirates, Stone River is also in danger of capsizing! And the arsenal is still outside Shihe City! Not only that, but even the salt field is in the south of Shihe City, the most important center of gravity of the three Jiaozhou, one was destroyed! The two were exposed to the enemy's troops, which made Sun Yuanhua have mixed feelings.
At this time, Sun Yuanhua's quality as a former three-grade governor was reflected! Sun Yuanhua barely thought about it, and issued an order: "Immediately gather the defenders in the city!" Issue a first-class security and notify the whole city! Order all personnel and equipment in the arsenal and salt works to be transferred to the city! (To be continued.) )
