Chapter 456: Penglai, who is not close
A naval battle is taking place at the mouth of the shark.
A fleet of fishing boats is approaching Penglai in the night.
On the fishing boat at the front, Cao Ren sat on the bow and asked the boatman, "Uncle, have you ever been to Penglai?" ”
Forcibly recruited by Cao Jun, the fisherman was afraid of Cao Ren, and said in fear: "Back to the general, there are many reefs along the coast of Penglai. Since the fifth son of the Yuan family came here, countless hidden piles have been buried in the water. If you don't go to the port, don't say go ashore, it's impossible to even get close! ”
"Just ask if you've been here before." Cao Ren glared.
The fisherman hurriedly said: "I have come before, but before anyone in Penglai!" ”
"Haven't been here since?"
"The fishing grounds are occupied by the fishermen on the island, who dares to come here to fish?"
Cao Ren didn't say anything.
Yuan Xu has a good reputation outside!
Whenever he was victorious, Yuan Xu rarely slaughtered prisoners of war unless he had no choice but to do so.
It is rumored in the world that he has a pure and good heart!
What I learned from the fisherman's mouth was not like that.
Occupy Penglai, he doesn't even allow foreign fishermen to fish near Penglai!
Such a measure is not an exaggeration to say that it is to protect the Penglai fishing grounds.
It is more likely that he refuses to let outsiders get too close to Penglai, so that the island's defense is in the eyes of others!
The pirates don't know what Penglai's defense is, and even the fishermen who beg for a living on the sea all year round don't know!
For outsiders, Penglai is just a fan!
Looking at the dark sea, Cao Ren muttered in his heart.
No matter how strong a known enemy is, it is not impossible to defeat it.
And what he is facing this time is the completely unknown Penglai!
"General!" Take control of the sails. The fisherman said, "There is a saying that villains don't know whether to say or not!" ”
"Say!"
"Although the villain has been to the vicinity of Penglai, he has seen the warships on the island." The fisherman said, "The boat is as tall as an island. Wrapped in copper skin. All you need to do is sail out of the island, and the villain will be buried in the sea! ”
I know that the fisherman is right. Cao Ren could not admit it.
His eyes widened, and he said to the fisherman: "If you disturb the hearts of the army again, you will be killed!" ”
Frightened, the fisherman did not dare to say more.
The pirates carried it on their backs, and the fleet led by Cao Ren bypassed there and chose a relatively distant path.
Cao Jun recruited fishing boats just to avoid Penglai's eyeliner.
After a night of travel, far from Penglai, Cao Ren ordered the fishing boat to stop on the spot. The fisherman fished as usual.
With Cao Jun on the boat, the fisherman also lost his level of fishing.
Busy all day, the fish caught by each fishing boat are only less than 30% of what they used to be.
The sea is vast, and although Penglai has scouts at sea, it is impossible to even notice the movements of fishing boats.
The fishing boats that Cao Jun was riding were not gathered in one place, and they were far away from each other.
Even if the Penglai scouts found them, they only thought that the fishermen were doing business as usual, and ignored them!
Disc shark mouth.
Fight all day. The pirates lost three warships, but never managed to break through the defense line of the Tianhai warships.
led the fleet to retreat, and Guo Zu boarded the warship under management.
A low table was set up on the deck.
Guan Cheng and Guo Zu sat facing each other.
On the table were some fish and the meat of sea beasts.
Picked up the wine jar and slapped the sealing mud, poured a bowl for Guo Zu, and said: "I'll fight all day." Losing three warships, Mo said sinking enemy ships, even rushing out of one can't do it. And so on. I'm afraid that all the belongings accumulated over the years will be lost here! ”
"The sharks in the sea are full!" Guo Zu said: "We have been plundering at sea all year round, and we have always been the only ones who throw others into the sea to feed the fish. Now they are thrown into the sea by others and feed the sharks! ”
Speaking of the war during the day. The two sighed.
"Guo Gong, don't you think this is weird?" After drinking a bowl of wine, Guan Cheng said: "Duke Cao only ordered 500 people to board the ship, and they were old and weak soldiers. Could it be that he knew that Penglai would send a warship to intercept it halfway? ”
"How is that possible!" Guo Zu said: "How is Penglai, how does Cao Gong know? You didn't listen to what He Gong said, although there are only 500 soldiers, they are warriors of a hundred battles! ”
"A man of a hundred battles?" Glancing at the cabin, Guan Cheng whispered: "The slightest bump is a lot of meat, Guo Gong has seen such a warrior?" ”
Guo Zu was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
"Fighting during the day, thinking about it!" Guan Cheng said: "Gong Cao deliberately asked me to wait all the way north to attract the Penglai warship to meet him!" ”
There was no response, and Guo Zu's face became ugly.
There are five Penglai warships, but they are not the pirates with the superior number of ships that can compete.
"Does Guan Gong have any plans?" Guo Zu asked.
"What's the plan?" Guan Cheng said: "The two of us have already offended Penglai, if we don't fight this battle, when we see Cao Gong, it will be difficult to protect the head of Xiangshang." If we continue to fight like this today, I am afraid that in a few days, you and I will also be buried in the belly of the shark! ”
"Throw Cao Jun on the boat into the sea, how about you and I lead people away?" Guo Zu said: "Cao Cao's command is not used to water warfare, let alone fighting in the sea!" We just don't have to go to the shore, and he can't help it! ”
"Even though you are a pirate, how can you float in the water every day?" Guan Cheng said: "All the people under your command must also land on the shore from time to time. If the proceeds of looting are not spent on women's bellies, sooner or later they will also defect! ”
Guo Zu's face became more and more ugly.
With a sigh, he said: "You and I are wrong to try to recruit peace in the court!" got a false name, but he had to fill in his belongings and life! ”
Guan Cheng is also worried.
After a while, he said: "It is absolutely impossible to betray Cao Gong, and the two of us are killing ourselves!" If the war starts tomorrow, we have to think of another way! ”
"What's the solution?" Guo Zu said: "The Penglai warship is sturdy, and it has been fighting all day, and we haven't even sunk it in the search, and even the hull of the ship hasn't even gnawed out a white mark!" ”
"Broadboard!" Guan Cheng said: "The Penglai warship is sturdy, but it is driven by people. Tomorrow, just climb the enemy ship and fight it in close quarters or have a chance! ”
Pirates raid and are best at fighting broadside.
Guo Zu's eyes lit up and said: "Guan Gong really thinks about Zhou Xiang, wait until dawn, I will step forward again, and I will go all out to climb the enemy ship!" ”
Guan Cheng and Guo Zu changed their combat strategies, and on the Tianhai warship, Fu Zhu was also planning the second day's battle.
Sitting opposite Tai Shi Gong and Zhao Yi, he said frustratedly: "What do the two generals think of today's fight?" ”
"Although there are many pirate ships, they are not as strong as our warships!" Zhao Yi said: "Three ships were sunk in today's battle, and three more ships were sunk tomorrow, and they will be in chaos!" ”
Fu Zhu smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but looked at Tai Shi Gong.
"What An Hu said is not bad!" Tai Shi Gong said: "Our warship is covered with copper, and tomorrow's battle just sails the ship to crash into them!" ”
"I'm afraid that tomorrow the enemy army will no longer shoot at our army like today!" Frustration said: "The enemy ships have no ****, catapults, and arrows hit our warships, just like ants gnawing horses." Plundering at sea all the year round, knowing that they are invincible but still holding on, how can Guo Zu and Guan Cheng be so stupid? (To be continued.) )
