Chapter Seventy-Five: Cornered

Of course, Li Tang will not let this group of people escape to the mainland, these are elite weapons! Li Tang's most coveted thing is not a soldier!

Repeatedly waged wars and attacked so many cities, the high-sounding reason is to eliminate pirates, but in fact, it is not to plunder more people and soldiers!

After Li Tang arranged the affairs of Xiyu City, he immediately took the red horse boat to chase Nie Jun's team, after all, there are not many things that Li Tang needs to deal with, to be precise, there are really not many things that Li Tang can handle!

Basically, most of the time, Li Tang put forward a general direction, and then arranged a special person to do the complex, which is also a benefit for players!

Players have a skill, called recognizing people, that is, being able to clearly see the attributes, specialties, skills, etc. of their subordinates, and it is impossible to overcharge the number of estimates. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoUnlike the aborigines, the aborigines can't see the attributes of their subordinates, so many times, subordinates who have the ability cannot be reused, and subordinates who have no great skills are in a high position and are favored.

When Li Tang caught up with Nie Jun's team, Nie Jun's team was hanging behind the Combined Fleet, constantly harassing the Combined Fleet and slowing down their advance.

After all, the speed of Nie Jun's fleet far exceeds the speed of the combined fleet, and this is because Nie Jun's fleet is led by military generals and has a speed bonus.

Secondly, the ships of the fleet are all built in the territory of Linhai City, and they have a speed bonus, so with the double bonus, Nie Jun's fleet can fight if it wants to, and run away if it doesn't want to, and it has been harassing this fleet.

The Combined Fleet also wanted to shake off this tail, but unfortunately it couldn't get rid of it. Seeing that there was less and less fresh water on the boat, I had to go to the shore to find some fresh water.

It is a pity that none of the soldiers who came ashore were able to return. If you go down ten, you won't come back, and if you go down a hundred, you won't come back if you go down a hundred.

It turned out that Li Tang and others were making trouble, they found that someone got off the boat to find fresh water, and immediately put down the red horse boat, landed with hunters, and sailors who went ashore met hunters who begged for a living in the jungle all day long. All of them were arrested and killed!

At this time, the pirates who lacked water on the ship began to make a fuss, especially those who were injured, they fought desperately for victory, they were injured, and there was no medicine to treat them, and now there was no fresh water, and I heard that there was not even enough food, and the destination was still unclear on the mainland.

I may never be able to go home again, and anyone will make a fuss! And no one can suppress them. Because they are all wild soldiers, they are naturally not so afraid of the original Shangguan.

This situation lasted only one day, and the whole ship of soldiers began to surrender to Nie Jun and Li Tang who were hanging behind. Li Tang is not afraid, there are still many well-trained sailors in his Qiankun bracelet, and he can just come out and drive the boat at any time. As for the original surrender on the ship, Li Tang could not be trusted, and it could only be released if it was trained in the Qiankun bracelet.

In the end, the surrender of troops is getting more and more, and in the end, there is no way, and Nie Jun can't set off with so many ships! I had to find a remote col, anchor all the ships in the col, and take all the sailors on it, ready to accept the surrender.

After following for three days, it is estimated that the two former city lords really have no choice, so they can only order all the ships in poor condition to surrender to Li Tang, and lead some generals and 30 intact warships, plus food and fresh water, the most elite soldiers and former generals, ready to break through.

No, the two city lords don't want to bring more, one has too many people, and they can't command, but it's a bad thing; Second, food and fresh water are limited, there is no food to eat, and no matter how many soldiers there are, they are also prepared for Li Tang.

Of course, such an idea is good, take advantage of Nie Jun and Li Tang to receive the surrendered troops, and when they have no time to separate, they take the opportunity to escape.

It's a pity that they don't understand the baby Sinan owned by Li Tang. With this treasure, these escaped ships will not be able to escape.

Li Tang received these surrendered troops is actually very simple, requiring them all to anchor in a mountain col, all the crew to stay on the ship and not move, all the sails are cut off and thrown into the sea, as for the food, someone will send it to them with the Nine Ghost Ring, and the same is true for fresh water.

No one was allowed to go ashore, otherwise they would be killed, and all the boats would be dragged to the sea and sunk. On the shore, Li Tang arranged tens of thousands of life teams, even to let the pirates go ashore, and it is estimated that the pirates will not dare!

Of course, Li Tang still sent a message to several cities, asking several cities to quickly send soldiers to accept these surrenders, and each city sent doctors to prepare to treat the wounded.

Of course, there are doctors on various pirate ships, but there are too many wounded and there is a shortage of medical treatment, which is difficult for Li Tang, Li Tang quickly released a large number of medicines from the Qiankun bracelet and so on, and it can't delay too much time at all.

In fact, these large numbers of things are just a few words to explain.

Nie Jun's fleet of 20 ships was still chasing after the fleeing combined fleet. Today, this team is only more than 30,000 people, and they are the most elite personnel of the entire team. Most of these people are 5-star soldiers, and many are 6-star, or even 7-star, 8-star, and 9-star soldiers, and Li Tang must be unwilling to run away like this.

However, under the care of Li Tang's treasure Si Nan, they are destined to not be able to run far.

Under the tracking of Nie Jun and Li Tang, in just a few hours, the most elite navy appeared in front of Li Tang again. Nie Jun's fleet is still the usual hooligan, and from a long distance, it is a salvo, although it may not be able to take away the lives of the enemy, but such a long range makes the pirates terrified!

Judging from the range alone, if Linhai City wants to kill it all, it is not impossible! On his side, even if he is a 9-star soldier, the range is not so far!

Of course, this is not because the rank of the soldier is not high, but because the arrows are all due to some special classes and strong archers! Their bow and arrow cost 10,000 soft girl coins, can they shoot not far!

The two city lords discussed, the current situation, they can't run away, the fleet is biting behind, and the speed is faster than themselves, how can they escape?

Let's fight! Let's not talk about whether we can fight or not, let's just say that as soon as this side turns around and is ready to fight hard, that side will retreat, and those who can't slip will not fight head-on with themselves at all.

No matter what! The fleet approached with a salvo, and every now and then the men did not dare to stay on the deck, and the counterattack could not reach their ships.

And so on. Let's not talk about the speed that can't be increased. If the course can't be grasped, even the morale will collapse sooner or later, and then the two city lords will probably be in trouble! The fleet of this coastal city is too vicious!

In fact, Li Tang didn't have such a vicious mind at all, his purpose was just not to kill and injure too many soldiers, after all, these were the highest priority soldiers, and in Li Tang's hands, it was very likely that he would be promoted to one star! And so it goes. However, they just want to show force to the enemy fleet and finally force them to surrender!

In this way, for a day, no one on the ship dared to sail on the deck, but fortunately this was the sea, and no one would sail the ship to the land.

However, there is no one to sail on the sea, so the course and speed of this ship are not certain! The only food and fresh water left on the ship probably won't last long! When the time comes, if Li Tang doesn't need to attack, this fleet will die of thirst and starvation on the sea!

Of course, let the two city lords surrender. I am really unwilling! After all, once you surrender, all the power and glory will become a thing of the past. Therefore, the two city lords still gritted their teeth and were unwilling to surrender.

It was night, and the pirate fleet was still moving slowly, but on each pirate ship climbed dozens of soldiers, dressed in tight armor, with light steps and quick movements, and climbed the masts of each ship with great speed, quickly cutting off the sail cables everywhere.

As a result, the sails of each ship did not last long, and they all slowly slid to the deck, and the pirate fleet slowly stopped. The ghostly figures slid off the boat, climbed onto the boat, and disappeared into the night.

When the two city lords received the report from their subordinates, they both felt deep powerlessness and fear! These soldiers are here to cut the cables, and if these soldiers are here to set fires, then they will probably sleep in the sea now!

However, the actions of the soldiers of Linhai City still sent a signal that they did not want to kill them all, but to ask them to surrender. In fact, it doesn't make much sense to surrender now, as long as the ships of Linhai City are still cruising next to it for three or five days, the fresh water on the ships of the Combined Fleet will be exhausted!

At that time, even if the ships of Linhai City are leaving, they will have to cry and shout for **! There is no way, the cable of the sail can be connected if it is broken, and the fresh water is gone, so everyone can only jump into the sea.

Since there is no way out, it is better to surrender alone! In fact, Linhai City has already released goodwill, if you don't appreciate it, I can't say what means Linhai City will come up with to deal with it! But surrender also has the importance of surrender, even if you don't have the capital in hand, you can still ask for a sky-high price, right?

So, a small boat came down from the flagship, and the people of Zhoushan waved the flag, signaling not to attack, Li Tang and the others naturally saw it, and they were waiting for this time! When the boat docked on the big boat, Li Tang waited to treat each other politely, and welcomed the people to a clean reception room, put on the tea set, and invited the visitors to drink tea and chat.

This person was originally a military general in Xiyu City, but was later dismissed by Li Tang. Because of his courage and clever words, he was driven out of the duck and sent to negotiate as a messenger.

It's just that pirates have always been swords-to-sword, when did they make a living by talking about it! Even if some personnel have a talent for lobbyists, it's a pity that these are not brought to the attacking army, so they can only pull out a decent one to make up the numbers!

The lobbyist in front of him is in a hurry, where does he have any intention to drink tea! Holding the teacup, it doesn't matter whether it's hot or not, he just takes a sip, and Li Tang is embarrassed to see it!

This is a cheerful person, so don't embarrass him.

In fact, if an experienced lobbyist came, he would definitely first count the bad deeds of Linhai City, destroy the harmony, and make Li Tang feel that he was unjust.

then showed weakness, saying that he was cornered, which made Li Tang feel that it was too unrighteous to chase and kill; In the end, he complimented and asked to treat them as a fart, but he wanted Li Tang to feel generous.

If it was really such a person, Li Tang wouldn't mind having a good show, but a real person came, and there was no way, so Li Tang had to speak:

"Now that our two armies are fighting, I don't know why your envoy is coming?"

When the messenger heard this, he finally got to the point, and quickly got up and said:

"Back to the general's words, the last general is coming, and he really came for the battle between the two armies! Some time ago, my Xiyu City and Linhai City came to attack Linhai City, but it was just a move to protect themselves! ”

"Now, the two city lords are very sorry for going against the general, and they have sincerely repented. Some time ago, the two city lords had asked the vast majority of their soldiers to submit to the general, including the two cities. Give it to the general as compensation! ”

"As for the two old city lords. There is no intention for the general to fight in the waters of Penghu. They are now disheartened, and they only hope that they can return to the mainland and find a village to retire from, and they hope that the general will be kind and can let them live! ”

Go ahead! The tears didn't flow down in a hurry, but his face was a little red, probably he didn't often tell such lies, and he was a little embarrassed to say it!

Li Tang is not a fool. Naturally, I know that this is the reserve price of the two cities, after all, others still have the right to bid! Of course, they are asking for a price, and Li Tang can naturally repay the money on the spot!

Li Tang deliberately picked up the cup, drank a few sips of tea carefully and seriously, and then looked at the messenger seriously and said:

"What if I say I don't want to?"

When the messenger heard this, he cried out:

"O General! The two old lords have already made such big concessions, why did you put them to death? ”

After Li Tang heard this, he smiled and said:

"The two armies are fighting, and it is also a helpless move. It's not about who's right and who's wrong. What about the city? It was captured by ourselves with a knife and a gun, and it has nothing to do with the two cities. If they had a choice, they wouldn't let it. ”

"As for the soldiers and ships, I think it was your city lord's ploy to use the soldiers and ships to hold our army back, but in this regard, I think they did a good job, and they did not ask the soldiers to resist desperately, which is very wise. At this point, we will not rush to kill everything. ”

When the messenger heard that he would not be killed, a large stone fell to the ground in his heart. So he asked:

"So, is the general planning to let me go? Then I'll thank the general for the two city lords! I promise that the two city lords will definitely not be enemies with the city lord again! ”

Li Tang waved his hand and said:

"Definitely! The purpose of my war is to a large extent to capture the soldiers, and it is impossible for your city lord to take the soldiers away! As for whether or not your city lord and all the generals will surrender to me, I don't really mind. ”

"If you want to continue to lead troops into battle, you can stay in my troops and continue to lead them, but you have to follow my rules; If I want to be rich, I can send them to land. ”

"If you want to do your job, you must be loyal to me, I have a team of pirates under my command, they are attached to me, I provide food and supplies, buy the stolen goods they rob, and I will not interfere in the specific management."

"In short, there are three ways out, I can choose whatever I want, I can agree, but the soldiers can't take it away, if you choose the third way, you can choose to keep some of the soldiers."

Li Tang's words were basically the final repayment on the spot, and the envoys themselves knew that the cost of the sky-high asking price was not much, so they could only go back to report it. As soon as the two city lords heard Li Tang's request, they knew that Li Tang's bottom line was similar to what they had speculated, and they didn't have to worry about their lives, it seemed that their belongings could be saved, and there were three more ways out.

It seems that this city lord of Linhai City is not a ruthless person! Before, I watched him sweep away all the pirate villages all the way, and the villages were directly destroyed, thinking that the city lord of Linhai City was a madman, which was also one of the reasons why they were worried about not daring to surrender, and now listening to the description of this envoy, this Li Tang is not so fierce and vicious, but it is still easier to speak.

Now that there are three roads in front of you, the two city lords and all the generals have to sum it up! First of all, to be a rich man, don't think about this, the world is big, in fact, there are not many places to live! They are thieves wanted by the imperial court, and I am afraid that as soon as they arrive on land, they will be discovered and go to receive the reward!

In addition, they are used to being happy in the outer land, and it is estimated that they are not so suitable for suddenly being controlled by the royal law! If you want to go to the island above and become a rich man, you might as well be a pirate!

What's more, everyone is still young, and it is really unwilling to retire so early! Secondly, to serve under Li Tang, this is not impossible! It's just that when you are under someone else's subordinate, you have to abide by other people's rules! No more recklessness.

And one is not good, but also by the suspicion of others, now a large number of soldiers from the two cities have joined Linhai City, if you go to govern these soldiers, you will be suspicious! This one is not happy either.

There is another way that is actually quite suitable for everyone's appetite. Still do the old business - pirates, happy all day long, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, happy and happy, and the previous days have not changed much, the employment threshold is not high, and there are many years of work experience, the only thing is that there is a boss above, I don't know if the boss is too picky!

Everyone discussed and discussed, and the vast majority of people still prefer the third way. Now that the third path has been set, surrender! The general direction has been set, and those small details will be slowly pulled off! Surrender early, let the soldiers rest assured as soon as possible, don't have a riot and cause misunderstanding in Linhai City, and all your efforts will be wasted.

Li Tang took all the pirate generals and some pirate soldiers into the Qiankun bracelet, leaving only a small number of soldiers to repair the sails and return to the ship, anyway, a large number of soldiers stayed on the ship, and the food and fresh water on the ship were not enough.
