Chapter 102: Shark Thief
"Shark thieves?" Wu Feng said with a little disdain in his eyes as he looked at the group of shark riders.
Shark thieves, that's not the name of a gang.
In the vast East China Sea, there are many vicious people who domesticate sharks in the sea, use them as mounts, and gather into large and small bandit gangs, which are called shark thieves.
Most of the shark thieves are from Middle-earth, and they are some low-level cultivators who are lazy and evil-minded, and a small number of them are aborigines of the East China Sea, including humans and demon clans.
The inhabitants of the islands of the East China Sea are not all demons, but there are also humans who have migrated to them.
These sharks are deeply permeable and can remain underwater for days without having to breathe. Familiar with maritime affairs, know the distribution of islands and currents in the ocean, the presence of species, and the ups and downs of wind, waves, and tides.
Shark thieves not only attack ships at sea, but also often go ashore to loot coastal villages and towns and even cities, burning, killing and looting, and do all kinds of evil, causing great damage to normal economic activities and people's livelihood.
But in recent years, shark thieves have rarely gone ashore to commit murders.
Shark thieves aren't the only ones who use sea creatures as mounts.
The southeast coast is the territory of the Yangzhou Beifu Army.
Beifu Army, as the name suggests, represents the desire of the Jiangdong people to fight back to the north and recover their homeland. However, for many years, the fierce and brave Beifu Army often faced a lack of follow-up strength due to the lack of cavalry in the war.
The rampant shark thieves for many years have also made the land of Yangzhou, where the Northern Expedition was ineffective and civil strife was frequent, even worse. Although it has thousands of miles of fertile fields in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is not exempt from the poverty and dilemma of withering people's livelihood.
Decades ago, the Yangzhou Army underwent earth-shattering military changes, successfully domesticated the giant seahorses in the East China Sea, and formed the only amphibious cavalry on the mainland, the Jiangdong Cavalry.
The giant seahorse is the image of a huge tail and no feet in the water, but after going ashore, it can rely on spiritual power to give birth to four legs, which is no different from a regular horse, and its hooves are like flying.
Compared with ordinary war horses, seahorses have slightly weaker weight-bearing capacity and endurance, but they are more flexible, not only able to fight in water, but also adapt to mountain warfare, and their agility is not lost to the Yellow Sheep cavalry in Shu.
Jiangdong, which had a horse-producing land, soon became strong again, and Jiangdong cavalry also became one of the four strong soldiers in Middle Earth, along with Yizhou Wusebei, Sanhe Blood Killing Camp, and Yanshan Yangbei.
The amphibious Koto Rider is undoubtedly more adaptable and flexible than the shark thief. Under the blows of the Jiangdong Cavalry, the shark thieves suffered heavy losses many times and gradually disappeared along the southeast coast, mainly relying on attacks on ships in the open sea to survive.
Being able to toss one or two big states to a great end, the strength of the shark thieves should certainly not be underestimated, and they cannot be waited and watched.
Wu Feng's disdain was out of contempt for the people they had harmed.
When Su Lanjin heard the word shark thief, she couldn't help but shudder.
She had heard Su Mengzhen talk about the tragic situation of shark thieves along the coast of the East China Sea many years ago.
Sometimes entire cities were destroyed, tens of thousands of civilians were slaughtered, and corpses littered the city. The slightest woman was looted, and when she was rescued many years later, she was so tortured that she couldn't even speak.
From her father's simple words, she could imagine the horror of it.
"Brother......" She lowered her eyes, looked at Wu Feng, and called in a low voice.
Wu Feng looked at her.
saw that Su Lanjin's tone suddenly became firm: "If I am about to fall into their hands, I will kill myself." Brother, don't worry I'll be a drag on you. ”
At this time, she clenched the short knife in her hand, and sweat seemed to be oozing from her white and tender palms.
"It's more fun. The leader of the shark thieves smiled and said, "Little girl, don't worry, with your appearance, I will not share you with others, and I will definitely treat you well." Those miserable things won't happen to you, so it's good to relax. ”
He looked to be about thirty years old, his beard was neatly trimmed, his face was five or six points handsome, and he was not like a reckless man. But the fierce light in his eyes revealed full of fierceness.
Wu Feng smiled and said to Su Lanjin: "Sister, don't be afraid, didn't I take you out to play, this bit of a thief, just send it away, just take it away." ”
Running into this group of vicious people is indeed not lucky, but it is not a desperate situation.
The reason why shark thieves were terrible in the past was their numbers. At its peak, there were more than 100,000 people and more than 10,000 soldiers, and the scope of the disaster was not limited to the land of Jiangdong, but also spread to the vast sea and coastal areas of Hebei, Shandong, Liaodong, and Goryeo in the north, the islands of the East China Sea in the east, and the southern wasteland in the south.
Everywhere they passed, there were mournings, and the cities and villages were turned into ruins and wilderness.
Although there is more than one shark bandit, they often kill each other in order to compete for spheres of influence. But with such a huge base, the slightly larger shark bandit group is not something that a garrison force in one city and one pool can compete with.
But after the blows of the Beifu Army, the shark thieves are now weakening day by day, and the number of shark thieves that Wu Feng and Su Lanjin collided with is less than 100, which is not a large bandit group at all.
Su Lanjin pursed her red lips, her eyes flowed, as if she was contemplative, but then her eyes were fixed on Wu Feng's face: "Ah Shi believes in my brother." ”
Wu Feng laughed: "Very good! Then go to the sea and clean up this group of bandits who should have a thousand knives!"
It seems safe to stick to the ship, but when it is surrounded, it will be passive everywhere.
Only by entering the enemy group can you disrupt the enemy's offensive order and seize the opportunity.
However, Su Lanjin's cultivation is much worse than Wu Feng's, and he is not watery, so he may indeed become a drag on Wu Feng.
Wu Feng thought about it, held the sword in his right hand, and directly hugged Su Lanjin's slender waist with his left hand, hugged her waist, and then stepped on the wave with both feet, falling directly into the ocean.
Su Lanjin was startled, and the fragrance turned red, so he screamed softly, but he closed his mouth after screaming halfway.
Wu Feng treats her as a sister-in-law, what's the problem with her brother hugging her sister?
Wu Feng was completely unconscious, his eyes were condensed, only looking at the dense group of shark thieves in the vast sea, his brain was running at high speed, judging and analyzing the situation on the battlefield, and considering countermeasures.
He is arrogant, but he will never take it lightly in actual combat.
Seeing this scene, the leader of the shark thieves knew that Wu Feng wanted to capture Wang Ce, but he laughed wildly: "Boy, you are really arrogant, and there is a way to take death!
A group of shark riders were noisy, splitting the waves, and swooping towards Wu Feng.
Wu Feng used a move "Big Light Wheel", and the golden sword drew an arc, facing the four directions.
The sharp sword was full of murderous aura, and the power of the Divine Sword of the Red Sky Sword spread out, putting a majestic pressure on the shark thieves both physically and psychologically.
A shark thief attacked too closely, and the sharp sword slashed over, directly cutting him into two parts, and in the scream, the red blood spread out on the sea surface, and quickly disappeared in the high-speed current.
