After hearing this, the female snake man smiled bitterly and said, "I really didn't think about this section. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info alas, I didn't expect you kid to become the owner of the village, and your mind is much more delicate than before. Forget it, I can't talk about you, you have to do it yourself anyway. If you really go to war, don't be stupid and stand up to the front! ”

I saw that the female snake man understood herself, and smiled with relief: "Hehe, I'm not so stupid, I deliberately made that cannon fodder." ”

The army hurried overnight, and in a short time came to the harbor east of Mingzhou City.

I saw that dense camps had been set up around the harbor, and it was obvious that the main force of the Taiping Army in Zhejiang Province was ready to cross eastward.

I led Guan Qingfeng, Lu Sheng and other senior leaders in the village to the main tent of the Chinese army commander, only to see that there were more than 20 Taiping army generals gathered in the tent, sitting on the left and right sides of Mingzhou Taishou Zhoutai.

This week, Tai is eight feet tall, burly and strong, with a square face full of beard, and a slightly larger hooked nose, which is both rugged and unruly.

As soon as the heroes of Lianyunzhai walked into the tent, they saw that the generals in the tent stopped talking, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at them in unison.

I took a step forward and saluted Zhou Tai, who was sitting in a handsome position, and said, "Presumably Your Excellency is Lord Zhou Tai Zhou, the Taishou of Mingzhou." Li Sibao, the owner of the big village in Xialian Yunzhai, led his brothers to report. ”

A pair of small eyes on Zhou Tai's face narrowed into a slit, and after a while, a hint of coldness flashed, and he shouted: "Come on, take down these thieves from Lianyunzhai!" ”

Suddenly, more than 20 swordsmen poured in from outside the account and surrounded us and the others.

The generals of the various cities did not expect this to happen, and they all froze at the moment.

"Who dares to do it!" I swept around with my sharp eyes, and the powerful aura that came out of my eyes couldn't help but take a half step back.

I stared at Zhou Tai and said coldly, "Zhou Taishou, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Tai said with a cold expression: "What do you mean?" King Chung has ordered that all the soldiers and horses who are conquering Dinghai City must arrive here before sunset yesterday. If you dare to ignore military orders, shouldn't you be court-martialed? ”

I suddenly understood that this week Tai was going to give Lianyunzhai a dismount.

I said coldly: "Zhou Tai, don't make a mistake, our Lianyunzhai is to assist your Taiping army in attacking the city, not your subordinates, why should we listen to your military orders?" ”

Zhou Tai shouted: "You still have to quibble!" What are you, as long as we come to this Chinese army village, we have to listen to my Zhou Tai's orders! Otherwise, they will not obey the orders like you, how can I obey the people? Leave and right, take down this milky and dry kid for me! ”

Guan Qingfeng and the others drew their weapons one after another and looked around angrily.

Seeing that the two sides were about to break out, Yuezhou Taishou Lu Gouming stepped forward and persuaded: "The army is about to start a war, don't hurt the peace in the army." I think everybody should stop. ”

As soon as the words fell, the other city lords also spoke out to persuade peace.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai pressed his anger in his heart, and said lightly: "Since the princes intercede for the people of Lianyunzhai, then Ben Shuai will let them go for the time being, and he will not take them as an example!" The strategy is discussed below. ”

Lu Gouming hurriedly sent someone to add a few pairs of seats, and invited the heroes of Lianyunzhai to sit down.

After a detailed discussion, I learned that Dinghai City is the largest island in the middle of the Dinghai Islands.

If you want to attack Dinghai Island, you must first capture more than ten islands such as Daxie, Jintang, and Taohua on the periphery of Dinghai Island, and then you can directly face Dinghai Island.

The Qing army built strong fortresses on each of these islands, each with at least a thousand men and horses, and it was not easy to capture them all.

Zhou Tai ordered Lianyunzhai to be the vanguard and cross the sea to seize the islands.

I didn't take the order, but asked coldly: "Dare to ask Zhou Dashuai, how many ships are there in our port?" ”

Zhou Taidao: "There are more than 160 large and small ships. ”

I was stunned and said, "Why are there only so few ships?" ”

Lu Gouming replied for Zhou Tai: "This expedition is indeed a bit hasty, and the preparations in advance are not sufficient. No one expected that the Qing army would destroy all the large and small warships along the coast in advance, and even the fishing boats were not spared. We managed to get together more than 160 boats. ”

Zhou Tai said angrily: "Who doesn't know how good the ship is to fight? His grandmother's, the Qing army burned all the boats that couldn't be taken away before withdrawing, and the time was in a hurry, where did you teach us to get ships? ”

I said, "Is there only this boat left in the province?" ”

Zhou Taidao: "There are a lot of boats in rivers and lakes, but can they fight naval battles?" I'm afraid that before I reach the shore, I will be swept away by a wave. ”

I had a general understanding of naval battles and ships under the arrangement of Guan Qingfeng and others in advance, and then asked: "How many people and horses can these ships cross the sea at one time?" ”

"There are always three thousand."

I frowned and said, "Only three thousand?" The opponent has at least 1,000 defenders on an island, and a mere 3,000 people are like crossing the sea to attack the island, isn't that sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? ”

As soon as the words fell, discussions erupted, and many generals looked worried.

Zhou Tai glanced at me and said impatiently, "What do you know?" The Qing army is just a rabble, and it has just been repulsed by our army, and its morale is low, where is there still combat power? My 3,000 men and horses only need to march step by step, island by island, are you still afraid? When the time comes, the ships will cross the sea with 100,000 troops in batches, and it will be a matter of time before Dinghai City is captured! ”

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and was about to speak, but I saw Zhou Tai and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the soldiers of Lianyunzhai are strong and strong, and the masters are like clouds, why don't you send three thousand masters to cross the river by boat?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Lianyunzhai is not used to naval battles, so let's follow behind the Taiping Army's sailors." ”

Zhou Taiyi slapped the table and said, "Since you are so afraid of death, why do you still have his grandmother's verbosity?" Come on, blast out for Lao Tzu! ”

I stood up and looked at each other angrily: "I'm afraid of death, I won't come!" I just don't want the brothers to die in vain. Since Zhou Dashuai doesn't want to see us, let's leave! ”

"Don't send it!"

I opened the tent door and walked straight to the beach.

Guan Qingfeng saw that my face was not good, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and asked Lu Sheng and the others to go back to the camp first, while he followed him without saying a word.

The sea, the seagulls, the sunset.

A salty sea breeze hit his cheeks.

I barely managed to calm down my excitement, strode to the beach, looked at the raging waves, and let out a deep breath before I felt more comfortable.

Guan Qingfeng came to me and stood with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "Is the master of the village very unhappy? ”

I said angrily: "Are these officials so doggy and low-looking? ”

Guan Qingfeng said: "In their eyes, we are all thieves, so naturally they won't look down on us." Moreover, when Zhou Tai, the Taishou of Mingzhou, attacked Lianyun Village on the order of Yang Xiuqing, he was captured by the owner of the old village, and later paid a large ransom to be able to go back. He deliberately made things difficult for us this time, and the owner of the village didn't have to take it to heart. ”
