Chapter 481: Don't go out continuously
The sun dispelled the darkness, and another dawn arrived.
The Cao army's warship rose with curling smoke, and the early firehead army was already making food.
One of the ships was silent.
There was not half of Cao's soldiers in the bow of the ship, and there was no trace of the smoke that should have risen.
"On weekdays, they made the earliest meals, but what happened today?" On another adjacent ship, a Cao Jun muttered.
"Lazy, what else?" Another Cao Jun said disapprerovingly: "If you don't want to eat, no one can control them." ”
The emptiness of the warship next door did not attract enough attention from Cao Jun.
Until noon, smoke rose from the ship again, and the ship remained dead silent.
Realizing that something was wrong, the steward came to the bow of the ship.
Looking at the warship, which had never moved, he frowned.
"What's wrong with General Guan?" Yang Xiu came to his side.
"That doesn't seem right." Guan Cheng said: "In the early morning, the ship did not move, and it was almost noon, and there was still no fire to make food. ”
"Dead!" Yang Xiu said: "All of them are dead! ”
Stunned, Guan Cheng stared at him.
"If you want to know how, just send some people on board." Yang Xiu said very plainly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
As if he had just woken up from a dream, Guan Cheng hurriedly ordered someone to board the warship.
Several Cao soldiers approached in small boats.
Boarding the big ship, they felt a cold breath rushing towards them.
The breath is different from the sea breeze, and the cold makes people feel chill from the bone marrow.
The officer who led the men aboard beckoned and led the group to the cabin.
Like the deck, the cabins were empty.
The whole ship of Cao Jun is gone!
"Chief Woosh!" A search is underway on board. A Cao Jun shouted.
The people who got on the boat ran over.
Entering the cabin where Cao Jun shouted, they still didn't see anyone.
Cao Jun, who shouted loudly, squatted in the corner. Pointing to a few wisps of blood in the cracks in the wall.
The blood stain was very light, with obvious marks of wiping.
Squat down against the wall. Captain Woosh scrutinized the blood stains on the ground.
"Not good!" His eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Hurry up and present the general, the soldiers of this ship may all be killed!" ”
A Cao Jun ran out quickly.
He didn't dare to shout, but jumped into the boat and headed for the warship.
When he arrived in front of Guan Cheng, he said in a panic: "General Qiyu, there is no figure on the ship. Maybe the whole ship will be killed! ”
Guan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to go to the warship with him, Yang Xiu said, "Go too!" ”
Although I don't like Yang Xiu very much. Guan Cheng didn't dare to offend him, so he had to board the boat with him.
On the empty warship, still on the deck, Yang Xiu looked around and said, "It's so quiet! ”
Ignoring him, Guan Cheng walked to the cabin.
Entering the cabin, he was led by the soldier to the cell where the blood stains had been found.
Yang Xiu followed suit.
Guan Cheng squatted down and inspected the blood stains on the ground, and Yang Xiu, who was standing behind him, said, "The general doesn't need to look at it. There is not a single living person on board! ”
Staring at the faint blood stains that had been wiped by someone, Guan Cheng muttered: "Even if the Penglai defenders attack at night, how can they avoid the eyes and ears of our army?" It was not an easy task to kill an entire ship. ”
"How many soldiers are on board?" Yang Xiu asked.
"Five hundred for big ships and fifty for small boats. Yang Gong doesn't know? Guan Cheng asked rhetorically.
"Of course I do." Yang Xiu asked again: "How many people do you need to kill five hundred soldiers quietly?" ”
"If you don't say anything, you have to say more than 100."
"That's the crux of the matter." Yang Xiu said: "General Guan believes that there are at least more than 100 people. If there are only more than 10 enemy troops, how can they find out? ”
"Yang Gong said and laughed!" Guan Cheng said: "There are more than 500 people on board. With only more than ten people, how can they be killed so cleanly! ”
"Why doesn't Cao Gong want our army to attack Penglai?" Yang Xiu suddenly asked.
Stunned, he looked at him. Guan Cheng did not respond.
"Just because I can't beat it!" Yang Xiu said: "The number of people is dozens of times that of the enemy, and the soldiers have been lost in several attacks. but they could not even climb the walls. Such a siege, I don't know if General Guan has ever seen it? ”
His face was pale and gray, and Guan Cheng only felt as if he had been slapped in the face.
But if you attack a city, you only need five times as many as the enemy to storm it.
Cao Cao dispatched 20,000 soldiers to come, but he made no achievements, so he could only besiege Penglai!
Spread out, people who don't know how difficult Penglai is to fight will definitely say that he was born as a pirate and doesn't know how to attack the city at all!
"If you can't beat Penglai, the general just needs to surround it!" Yang Xiu said: "Yuan Xianxin can't go out of Penglai, and Cao Gong can wave his troops north and take advantage of the situation to seize Hebei." ”
"What does Yang Gong mean when he says this?" Guan Cheng asked in a very bad tone.
"Discuss with the general what the enemy's night attack means."
"According to Yang Gong, why did the enemy attack at night?"
"None of the bodies are missing, they must have sunk into the sea. The blood stains are also wiped clean, and it is almost impossible to find them if you don't pay attention! Yang Xiu said: "The enemy army acted too calmly, and it didn't even look like they were fighting. ”
Looking at the blood stains in the corner of the wall, Guan Cheng's face became more and more ugly!
Yang Xiu talked for a long time, but he didn't understand what he said.
Guan Cheng vaguely heard the meaning of his words.
What Yang Xiu wanted to say was nothing more than that the Penglai soldiers regarded the entire ship of Cao Jun as a target for training!
Killing, for the Penglai soldiers who stabbed the big ship at night, it may just be a whim!
"Pass the order!" Guan Cheng said: "All ships should be on guard, this matter must not be a second time!" ”
The soldiers ran to convey the order, but the corners of Yang Xiu's mouth hooked up a light smile of contempt.
If you don't give Penglai soldiers a chance, won't Penglai soldiers look for opportunities?
At the head of Penglai City, Ma Fei looked at the Cao army warship in the distance, with pride on his face.
With only more than ten people, a big ship full of five hundred Cao troops was killed by them!
Most of Cao Jun died peacefully.
They were torn off their necks in their sleep by the night thorns!
"General Ma is out of the army, and Cao Jun must be frightened." Tian Feng said: "It's just that recently, the night thorn can no longer leave the island!" ”
Before Ma Fei could speak, Ma Yi on the side said: "Uncle went out to kill a happy person, can I just look at the hot eyes?" ”
"What Tian Gong said is exact." Ma Fei glared at him: "I waited for the killing yesterday to be too heavy, and none of the Cao army in the whole ship survived!" If they go out of the city one after another, how can the enemy army be defenseless? ”
Ma Yi pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything.
He was still very unhappy in his heart!
Leaving the island to assassinate Cao Jun, it was nothing to do with him!
The city defense was handed over to Tian Feng, and Ma Yi was instructed to arrange a night stab out of the island to practice assassination, and Yuan Xu was on the island at this time, directing the residents of Penglai to dig ditches.
The men who live in Penglai are all veterans of the Yuan family that he brought back from the Hebei battlefield.
Tianhai and Night Thorn selected strong people, and the eliminated men became the aborigines of Penglai.
Yuan Xu asked people to recruit women from all over the country, and the men already had families in Penglai.
Penglai has long been their home! (To be continued.) )
