Chapter 189: Cooperation and Division
Originally, the officers and soldiers had a ringing hammer on their horses, and once they encountered a situation, they could launch a ringing hammer to notify the friendly troops outside the mountain, but in the first round of firing just now, the two scouts responsible for bringing the ringing dysphonium had already been shot on the spot, and the rest of the people had no time to get the ringing dyspho from them, so a few living guys could only turn around and run.
But now that they are here, surrounded by mountains, where will they have a chance to escape! Just as they turned around and ran not far away, four humanoid monsters dressed in withered grass suddenly jumped up from the side of the road, and at this time, those officers and soldiers scouts had just run to their side, and suddenly without warning jumped up from the side, so many people and ghosts immediately frightened them into weakness.
In fact, the scouts of the officers and soldiers are mostly the personal soldiers of some military generals, and they are quite combat-effective, but it also depends on the situation, they entered the mountain this time, and they did not expect to be attacked and killed like this at all, and their psychological preparation was not sufficient at all, and they were attacked by someone just now, and they were killed and injured by most of them at once.
Now all of a sudden, there are so many things that don't distinguish between people and ghosts, which is even more frightening to them, where is there still a little ability to resist.
And these people dressed in dry grass are also extremely skillful, very ruthless, each holding a sharp single knife, flying up and down just a few breaths, then all these officers and soldiers were cut to the ground, and finally only two frightened guys were left, plopping down to the ground, throwing away the guys in their hands, kowtowing and begging for mercy, so that they were not killed on the spot.
At this time, the surrounding sea wolf scouts all stood up, and here they ambushed a total of more than a dozen people, even if they did not use an ambush, they could definitely easily take down these officers and soldiers, but for the sake of safety, they still chose to ambush, and did not use any firearms, just used a strong crossbow, plus manpower, without a single casualty, completely annihilated the officers and horses.
This is already the second official army scout they have killed today, and before that, they have already solved a scout team of officers and soldiers in another place, and they have also not alarmed the officers and soldiers outside the mountain.
Under the leadership of Li Er, these people quickly cleaned up the battlefield, dragged the bodies of these killed officers and soldiers to a pit, threw some branches and dry grass, and immediately covered their corpses.
After finally cleaning up the blood stains left on the ground, Li Er looked at the remaining two officers and soldiers with cold eyes, and asked them coldly, "Do you want to stay here with them?" ”
The two officers and soldiers were already frightened crazy, so they quickly shook their heads desperately, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Li Er nodded and said: "It's easy if you don't want to die, follow us honestly, and tell Lao Tzu everything you know, then Lao Tzu can spare your life!" ”
Among the two officers and soldiers, a well-spoken guy hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" Please rest assured, the little ones will never dare to move, as long as the good men want to know, as long as the little ones know, they will know everything! ”
Someone tied the two officers and soldiers behind their backs, and Li Er immediately led them towards the mountain.
In a small col in the mountains, an army was stationed at this time, and many open and secret posts were set up along the way, blocking all the roads into this area, and no one could enter this area lightly.
As Li Er walked, he had to keep answering the passwords that sounded along the way, and finally returned to the camp.
"Commander Li, his subordinates have caught two alive, and they have been interrogated on the way back, the officers and soldiers have come to a total of six thousand soldiers and horses this time, basically stationed in our Dazhai, and the officers and soldiers have seven or eight thousand people, early this morning, Zhang Jiace, the deputy chief of the officers and troops, has returned to Xinghua Bay with some ships, and personally went to report to Zhu Yifeng! The island is now guarded by the chief soldier Yu Zhigao, and there are two guerrillas and a general! After Li Er saw Li Dazui, he immediately saluted Li Dazui and reported to Li Dazui.
Li Dazui nodded after hearing this, immediately grinned, and nodded: "Li Er, you have done a good job, continue to keep an eye on it, don't let the officials and soldiers find out about us!" It is estimated that the day after tomorrow at the earliest, we should go out, and the brothers here are also choking enough, just wait for the big boss to come back, let's do a good job! ”
When Li Er heard this, he immediately grinned his teeth and nodded: "Commander Li can rest assured, as long as we are here, even if it is a mouse, it will not be able to mix in!" It's really annoying to watch these damn things come around outside! ”
Li Dazui nodded and said, "Yes!" I've heard about it too, but now it's only like this, when the big boss comes back, we have to make them pay a hundred times the price! What we need now is forbearance, if we can't even stand this, then what great things can we achieve in the future? ”
Waite was very unhappy with the Ming Dynasty's Fujian government to attack Nanri Island this time, and he was originally ordered to lead the team to come this time, to take the opportunity to strike hard at the sea wolf, weaken the strength of the sea wolf, in order to eliminate this danger that threatens their survival in Dayuan in advance.
But I didn't expect them to follow the officers and soldiers all the way, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and what was even more infuriating was that these officers of the Ming Dynasty were so unmotivated, they just got an empty island, and they were satisfied.
After Waite arrived on Nanri Island, he immediately proposed to Yu Zhigao, asking to continue the pursuit of the sea wolf, and if necessary, he could take the official army to kill the side of Tamsui City directly, attack the sea wolf's lair in Tamsui City, or at least severely damage the sea wolf.
But his request was immediately rejected by Yu Zhigao, and Yu Zhigao's answer was very simple, that is, the purpose of their operation had basically been achieved, and the next thing they would do was to eliminate the sea wolves along the coast of Fujian, rather than going to Tamsui City to attack the sea wolves' nests there.
For Yu Zhigao's answer, Waite was very dissatisfied, but there was no way, after all, this was the official idea of the Ming Dynasty, they actually did not really plan to completely wipe out the sea wolf, they just wanted to recapture this small island, now that their goal has been achieved, naturally they don't want to do much, and then attack the sea wolf's lair on Taiyuan Island.
Then there was no need for him to continue to stay here, so after several fruitless negotiations, Waite could only angrily ask to leave, and before he left, he inevitably asked for some supplies from Yu Zhigao.
Yu Zhigao didn't have a good impression of this red-haired man either, but in order to protect the fleet from arriving on Nanri Island smoothly, he had to rely on the fleet of the red-haired people to escort them, so he was perfunctory to him on the surface.
Now that the sea wolf acquaintance has taken the initiative to give up Nanri Island, they have achieved their goal, so these red-haired people are of little use to them, and now that Waite proposes to leave here, he will naturally not stop him, although he also knows that leaving Waite's fleet will be safer when they evacuate here, after all, no one dares to guarantee that the sea wolf will take advantage of the withdrawal of their fleet to attack them again.
But he had no reason to forcibly leave these red-haired people, although he also coveted these big plywood boats of the red-haired people, but after carefully watching the operation of these big plywood boats, he felt that even if he was given a few of these big plywood boats now, he would not be able to use them, because the sails of these big plywood boats were so complicated that no one in his hands could use this kind of boat.
In addition, he also saw that Waite was still wary of them, whether it was in Yongningwei or along the way, Waite always refused to moor the fleet of the officers and soldiers together, even if he wanted to eat Waite's fleet now, with the vigilance of these red-haired people, it would be difficult for him to eat them, on the contrary, if he didn't get it, he would be beaten by the fleet of these red-haired people.
He had seen with his own eyes the power of the red-haired gunboats, which were full of Western cannons, and when they were in full fire, they were quite terrifying.
So he didn't want to make a fuss and provoke these red-haired people again, and now that they proposed to leave, Yu Zhigao would no longer stop him, but he only met a small part of their requirements, and did not give all of Waite's requests at all.
After returning to the fleet, he ordered to anchor and leave Nanri Island, and returned to Dayuan for the time being, since the officers and soldiers did not do it, then he would do it alone, and now the sea wolves are still blocking their Dayuan port, and it will definitely not work if they don't teach them a lesson.
So as soon as Waite returned to his ship, he ordered him to set sail and kill Tamsui City, and since the sea wolves blocked their Dayuan Harbor, then he would retaliate against their Tamsui City.
Prior to this, the Dutch had also sent people to the area of Tamsui City to conduct reconnaissance and have a general understanding of the situation in Tamsui City.
Several Dutch ships immediately began to raise their sails and anchors, and after sailing into deep water, they adjusted their course on the surface of the sea and headed for the island of Taiwan.
Yu Zhigao looked at the shadow of the red-haired man leaving, and from the table when Waite left, he also saw that Waite was unwilling to run this trip in vain, their purpose was very clear, that is, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the official army to attack the sea wolf, follow the official army to fight the sea wolf, and eliminate the threat of the sea wolf to their superiors.
It's a pity that they miscalculated this time, the sea wolf simply gave them a way to avoid the battle and abandoned Nanri Island, so for their officers and soldiers, the goal was basically achieved, but for the red-haired people like Waite, it was equivalent to pounced on the air and didn't catch anything, and the strength of the sea wolf was not weakened, so they would definitely not be reconciled.
