Chapter 236: Truce

Meng Fei brought a lot of musketeers under his command, holding a Nanji-style flintlock pistol, a very big advantage of the flintlock pistol is that there is no need to light the fire rope at night, you can fire directly, and the target will not be exposed by the fire before firing.

Therefore, Chu Cai's old subordinates walked in front of them without noticing, and when Meng Fei saw a large number of Chu Cai's old subordinates passing in front of him, he suddenly gave the order to fire.

Dozens of musketeers immediately fired a volley of guns, and at once knocked over a group of Chu Cailao's subordinates, and Chu Cai's subordinates were stunned again, they couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and they didn't know who attacked them, and suddenly there was a complete chaos, Meng Fei led people to rush and kill, and killed a lot of Chu Cailao's subordinates, and then withdrew to the business inn area.

This battle later became a classic example of night ambush warfare for the Seawolf tribes, and was recorded and became a model for the night ambush warfare of the Seawolf land warfare in the future.

In short, this night is not easy for both sides, Chu Cailao lost a lot, and did not take down Dazhai, but the sea wolf also lost a lot of losses, after the war, the sea wolf lost a total of more than 100 people, most of them were in the beginning of the night attack for a period of time, guarding the south wall of the people, these people did their duty, guarded the gate of the village and did not retreat, and finally almost all of them died.

In addition, a few of Chu Cai's old subordinates scattered into the village, forcing the dog to jump over the wall, set fire to several houses, burned down some houses, and killed and injured some people in the village, causing certain losses to the sea wolf.

But the result was still acceptable, the more than 300 outlaws sent by Chu Cai to sneak attack lost more than half of them from top to bottom, plus the people who were killed and wounded outside the stockade, and the people killed and injured in Meng Fei's ambush, the number was as high as more than 400.

It can be said that Chu Cailao tossed it this night, stealing chickens and rice, and almost lost a fine light, and even his most powerful subordinate Qin Tian died in Dazhai.

After dawn, Yu Xiaotian sent people out of the village to clean up the battlefield, and also captured twenty or thirty Chu Cailao's subordinates who were slightly injured and could not escape, picked up a batch of weapons, and cut off more than 100 heads.

The corpses of these beheaded Chu Cailao's men were all thrown out of the walled wall after dawn, and all the heads were cut off and hung on the high poles on the wall, in order to deter Chu Cailao and his men, and show off the combat power of the sea wolf.

After Chu Cailao's night attack failed, he did not launch any more attacks for a day, leaving his subordinates to rest in the camp for a whole day.

For the next whether to continue to attack the sea wolf Dazhai matter, Chu Cai Lao and his subordinates had a big disagreement, some of the shopkeepers because of the heavy losses of their subordinates, began to retreat, do not want to continue to consume here, they think that this is really powerful for the sea wolf and his men, this Dazhai must not be able to fight, rather than spend here, it is better to go back to find another way to make a fortune.

But Chu Cai Lao was really unwilling, in the past two or three days, he paid a lot, and his subordinates under his direct jurisdiction suffered the most losses, but after tossing down, he got nothing, so he withdrew in disgrace, and his old face will really be lost in the future.

They are not ashamed to be beaten by the state capital and county, and they have a lot of face, at least they dare to do this, and they can invisibly improve their prestige, but if he Chu Cailao can't even beat the stockade of the small group of sea wolves this time, it is another story.

If this matter is spread out, it will be an extremely embarrassing thing, and everyone knows that he Chu Cailao took thousands of his men to Nanri Island with great fanfare this time, and the sea wolf's manpower is far less than his, but as a result, he was beaten by the sea wolf and ran back to Dongshan Island with his tail between his legs, and now he will be despised to death.

In the future, on this huge sea, he Chu Cai will become a joke, who will treat him as a big guy again! If he makes such a peace, no one will dare to oppose him in the future, and he will have a sad life in the future.

Therefore, although Chu Cailao knew that he had encountered a difficult bone to gnaw this time, he still refused to retreat like this, insisting on continuing to find a way to attack the sea wolf village, and vowed to take down Yu Xiaotian's head.

But considering the heavy casualties of his subordinates in the past two days, in the past two days, the loss of nearly 1,000 people, the morale is very low, and the personnel are also very tired, even if they stay and continue to find a way to attack the sea wolf village, Chu Cai Lao also felt that it would not be possible to force these subordinates to go up immediately, so he promised these shopkeepers that they would let their subordinates rest in the station for a day and a night, and then continue to attack the village early tomorrow morning.

These shopkeepers were afraid of Chu Cailao's ruthlessness, although they were reluctant, but considering that they would have to follow him in the future, if they offended this guy, they would not be secretly killed by this guy sooner or later, so they didn't dare to blatantly oppose it, so they had to agree to Chu Cailao's request.

Just when Chu Cailao was in a dilemma, the sea wolf in the village, but it seemed to be elated, after the people in the middle of the village experienced a battle of life and death, they knew their own power, before that, although they also believed that they could block Chu Cailao's attack, but after all, where is the number of Chu Cailao, the heart is not very bottom.

But after several battles all day yesterday, they became confident that they had a lot of powerful things in their hands, including cannons and muskets, and a lot of grenades, all of which were much more powerful than Chu Cai's old weapons.

Therefore, after the Sea Wolf tribe went through this experience, many of them seemed to have matured, and their fear of war could be said to have been swept away, and they became full of confidence one by one.

Although last night because of negligence, Chu Cailao almost succeeded in a sneak attack, but in the end, under the personal leadership of their big boss, they repelled Chu Cailao's men who attacked the village, and won a lot, beating Chu Cailao in disgrace.

In short, now the sea wolf tribe in Dazhai is no longer afraid, and even the islanders who took refuge in the village have begun to have confidence, and even some islanders who are a little timid and afraid of things have also spontaneously signed up and expressed their willingness to help the sea wolf resist Chu Cailao.

Therefore, the people in the overall Shanghai Wolf Village have become highly motivated, and all kinds of preparations for war are in full swing, waiting for Chu Cailao to come and die.

This kind of emotion is also contagious, making Dazhai filled with a relaxed atmosphere.

And Yu Xiaotian and his leaders were also very pleased, and they also became full of confidence, especially those who knew the entire battle plan, and felt that things were going according to their original plan, and when the fleet suddenly came back at noon today and early tomorrow morning, they would attack inside and outside, and completely clean up Chu Cailao and these guys.

However, their relaxation seemed to have come a little early, and something unexpected happened on Treasure Island dozens of miles away, which almost completely ruined the future of Yu Xiaotian and the sea wolf.

Chapter 237: Ma Feng's Wine

Treasure Island is surrounded by all kinds of ships of sea wolves, except for the sentinel ships that are on guard on the sea, all the ships moored on the shore of the island have their sails folded and quietly anchored in the harbor.

At this time, they had already learned the news of Chu Cai's attack, Liu Yidao led a small fleet of ships left behind on Nanri Island when Chu Cai was attacking, and attacked Chu Cai's old man's fleet in the area of Nanri Waterway, and after fighting with it for a while, he led the team to retreat north.

Chu Cailao's men did not dare to pursue them in a big way at first, but after Chu Cailao led a large group of men and horses to Nanri Island, Chu Cailao still sent some of his men to chase Liu Yidao's fleet north, and searched for the location of the main fleet of sea wolves.

Therefore, after Liu Yidao led the team to evacuate Nanri Island, he did not go directly to Treasure Island, but led the fleet to the north of Haitan Island, and after making sure that he got rid of all the ships of Chu Cai's old men, he turned to Treasure Island and joined the main fleet hiding in Treasure Island.

But because they had the fast-moving Feizi Clipper Detachment led by Luo Xianbin on hand, after they evacuated Nanri Island, Luo Xianbin was ordered to lead his Feizi Clipper Detachment to break away from Liu Yidao's fleet first, and sail to Treasure Island to report the news, anyway, even if Chu Cailao's subordinates wanted to follow them, they couldn't catch up with them, let alone chase them to find Treasure Island.

Even if they took 10,000 steps back, with Chu Cailao's men following them, they would be self-defeating, and they would not even have a chance to escape for their lives against the single and double masts of the clipper detachment.

So at noon that day, Wang Hong and others received the news brought by Luo Xianbin and began to make preparations in advance.

According to Yu Xiaotian's original battle plan, the main fleet of the sea wolf did not need to rush back to Nanri Island as soon as possible, because at this time, Chu Cai's old fleet was basically on board, and they were all vigilant enough, once they rushed back immediately, Chu Cailao would be able to organize his men to fight with them at sea.

Although their sea wolf fleet may not necessarily lose to Chu Cailao's fleet, but after all, Chu Cailao's fleet is very strong, where is the number, even if they defeat them, it will be a lose-lose result.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian's plan was to let Chu Cailao be arrogant on Nanri Island first, and then rely on Dazhai to kill and injure Chu Cailao's subordinates in large quantities, eliminate Chu Cailao's vitality as much as possible, and defeat their arrogance, so that their morale plummeted.

Then when the morale of Chu Cailao's department plummeted, the main fleet of the sea wolf suddenly returned to Nanri Island, plus Yu Xiaotian's troops who stayed on the island, and cooperated with the main fleet to give Chu Cailao an internal and external attack, and strive to hit Chu Cailao hard this time, even if he can't destroy Chu Cailao, he will be injured and unable to recover his strength for a long time.

Therefore, according to the plan, after receiving the news, Wang Hong and the others were not in a hurry to immediately lead the fleet to rush back to Nanri Island, but to wait for two more days on Treasure Island before setting off to rush back to Nanri Island to fight at sea with Chu Cailao.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Wang Hong and others were not in a hurry, and methodically mobilized the troops of the fleet before the battle, and supplemented with fresh water or ammunition, and waited for the order to attack after the order was issued, and began to raise the sails and anchor to carry out the operation together.

Wang Hong, as the commander of this fleet, is very excited, but also a little pressure, after all, since he did this business, he has never commanded or participated in such a large-scale naval battle, even if they have done many drills before, but still feel that their hearts are not very bottom.

Therefore, after giving the order to start preparations, Wang Hong still recruited all the captains and main leaders of the fleet into his big tent, and did a pre-war mobilization and tactical deduction with Ma Xiao, and finally prepared for the big war.

The captains in the fleet were all gearing up, both excited and nervous to listen to Wang Hong and Ma Xiao's arrangements and receive their tasks.

The pre-war meeting lasted until dark, and the next morning Wang Hong again fine-tuned the arrangement to make sure that each captain understood his mission and was familiar with the signals of the command.

Considering that he was about to set off, after Wang Hong had made this preparation, he ordered all the captains and leaders to go down to the crew to make a mobilization for the crew, and at the same time let them rest and rest at the last time, recuperate and prepare for departure with sufficient physical strength and energy.

After dismissing the captains, Ma Xiao and Wang Hong discussed some trivial matters, and Ma Xiao also went to inspect the fleet, but Ma Feng did not return to the fleet, but stayed with Wang Hong.

Wang Hong saw that Ma Feng was not leaving, so he asked Ma Feng what else was going on, Ma Feng smiled and asked people to bring a pot of wine and two side dishes, and said to Wang Hong: "Third brother! We haven't spoken for a long time, and we've been drinking! Tomorrow, before dawn, we are going to set off, to fight with Chu Lao'er, brother, I want to take advantage of this afternoon when there is nothing to do, and the third brother will catch up again!

This sea cannon is not long-sighted, this time Chu Cai Lao came to so many people and ships, who knows that after Lu Dao passed Ming'er, our brothers will not have a chance to meet again, so today I have prepared such a small pot of wine, let's drink a little less, this is not a mistake! ”

Wang Hong looked at Ma Feng, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Old eight! You're a little too angry! You said you've been doing something for so long! Every day is to eat and drink, and don't do anything serious, how can it be done like this?

Besides, this time we plan very carefully, although Chu Lao'er's strength is not weak, but we are not soft persimmons, as long as the big boss can kill some more Chu Cai's old people on the island, so that Chu Cai's old men will suffer enough, we will kill the past when the time comes, with our sharp artillery clipper, how can we lose?

This hasn't started yet, you don't have to say frustrating words first, we've been doing this for so many years, what kind of wind and waves haven't been seen, how can it be planted in the hands of this Chu Lao'er?

Well, since you said so, it's okay for us brothers to drink a little less, but you guys have to remember, you start early tomorrow morning, and you can't drink anymore when you get back to the boat!

In addition, this time you also fight for breath, do a good job, give yourself a long face, and let the other brothers see that you Ma Feng is not stupid, otherwise no one will be able to protect you in the future! ”

Ma Feng scolded secretly in his heart, and he could hear that Wang Hong was also very dissatisfied with his recent performance, this was counting him down again, and it could be said that he was impatient with the boss in his heart, but on the surface, he still held back himself, nodded with a smile: "The third brother reprimanded him very much!" It's me who is too uncompetitive and makes the third brother embarrassed! I haven't drunk for many days, and the third brother also knows, I haven't made trouble for a long time! ”

Wang Hongping retreated left and right, asked Ma Feng to sit down and speak, took the wine glass, unfolded the side dishes brought by Ma Feng, poured wine and said to Ma Feng after sitting down: "It's good that you know the way!" You and I are brothers, and we came out with the second brother together, and we were all from the Shark Gang before, but if you look at me and your fifth brother, although after following the big boss, I still do things for the big boss, but this person is different from others, you see how our big boss does things now?

Follow this big master, I really feel that my life is rushing, but it's a pity that you really didn't know how to manage yourself before, and let your temperament come to your senses, otherwise, with your ability, you should be like your fifth brother and me now, you should be alone, and no one will treat you now!

It's not that the third brother is wordy, this is your chance, as long as you take your boat this time, do a good job, and let the other brothers also see your ability, after this time, the big boss will be impressed with you, as long as you work hard for a while, how can the big boss treat you badly? Come and have a drink! ……”

The two of them chatted while drinking side dishes, Wang Hong never saw Ma Feng's brother, he always regarded himself as a brother, and he used to reprimand and reprimand Ma Feng from time to time, but he took care of this brother very much, although now because of his busy affairs, he and Ma Feng have less and less contact, but he has been secretly maintaining Ma Feng.

If it weren't for Wang Hong, Yu Xiaotian would have taken down Ma Feng a long time ago, demoted him to be a captain or even simply put him on an errand, just because Wang Hong kept saying good things for Ma Feng, and for Wang Hong's sake, he kept his errand as the deputy manager, but handed over the things he was in charge to others, and secretly set him up.

But Ma Feng didn't see it that way, he always felt that Yu Xiaotian was deliberately making things difficult for him, and Wang Hong, the third brother, and Fang An, the fifth brother, were too lazy to care about him now, so that the more he mixed up, the more unsatisfactory he became, so now that he was in such a situation, he didn't feel that he was at fault, and the fault was on others.

On the surface, while drinking with Wang Hong, he was submissive to Wang Hong's words about him, but the more he listened to Wang Hong's words, the more resentful he became, feeling that now that Wang Hong was in a high position and power, he had long looked down on him as a brother, and gradually he became ruthless.

Wang Hong is actually a little addicted to alcohol, although he usually controls himself, but from time to time he also drinks a little too much, but he always warns himself that he can't drink more, so as not to make mistakes.

So in the past two years, Wang Hong has not made a mistake because of drinking, and his amount of alcohol is also quite good, today I saw that Ma Feng only mentioned such a small pot of wine, even if he let him drink it all, there was no problem at all, so when he drank, he was not too careful.

But after drinking, Wang Hong felt a little dizzy, and the things in front of him were a little unclear, so he shook his head and muttered, "What's wrong today?" Why are you a little dizzy after drinking so much wine? ”
