Chapter Seventy-Two: Hesitation
Looking at the three masters who staggered away, Li Zihong's unkind eyes became cold again.
"In the past few days, we have robbed a lot of merchant ships claiming to be the Ming army, is it possible that those Ming people have taken control of Wigan City so quickly." One of the pirates said worriedly.
"Hmph, I don't believe that those goblin rich merchants willingly obey the orders of a rogue who ran from a small island." Li Zihong sneered.
"Regardless of whether these wealthy businessmen really obey the orders of the Ming army or have to flatter them for a while, it is obvious that Wigan fell into the hands of the Ming army." Behind Li Zihong, the second leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang, Li Guidao.
On the sea, the three-masted merchant ship had long since been sacked by pirates.
A large number of sailors' carcasses were thrown into the sea, and the smell of blood attracted schools of sharks cruising nearby.
For a time, the sea was full of blood.
"We have robbed a lot of boats these days, but we have recovered some strength after fishing a lot of oil and water, but" Li Zihong looked at the sea stained red with blood,
"I naturally know what the big boss is worried about, for the Black Flag Gang, we are indeed treacherous this time, but for the Ichthyosaurus Gang, it is really not good to defeat Laoag, besides, even if we really capture Laoag, there are more monks and less porridge, I am afraid that the Ichthyosaurus Gang will not be able to get the big head."
Ghost Li's voice was a little gloomy, and Li Zihong looked at the man behind him in some surprise,
"We are all heroes, we are too anxious to wait, cut off our way to live, we have to join forces, and now you persuade me to go south treacherously, I'm afraid it's not to rob a few ships here."
The second leader of the Ichthyosaurus Gang, Ghost Li, is scheming and has always been the brainchild of the Ichthyosaurus Gang.
When the pirates besieged Laoag, it was he who persuaded Li Zihong to lead the Fish and Dragon Gang to leave the battlefield and go south, and at this moment Li Zihong naturally asked him to give an explanation.
Li Ghost smiled and was silent.
Just three fingers outstretched,
"At present, there are only three forces in Luzon, one is a Franco, two is a Ming man, and the third is our and other forces in the South Seas, and now they are in a three-legged trend."
"The Franco-Rang people have been rooted in Luzon for more than 100 years, the family is big, although in the Ming City, Laoag suffered a certain loss but there is no big problem, just like the old tree breaks its branches but does not hurt its roots, if it is relieved, it will definitely counterattack, and my heroes at sea are not weak, in the Lawag sea area and the Spaniards are killed in the dark, it is difficult to distinguish, the most unfortunate, it is a big deal to withdraw to the open sea, and now the weakest of the three forces is the Ming army." Li Ghost said.
"Now, in Luzon, the Ming army is the weakest, although Xiao Wu ordered Liu Quan to occupy Weigan, but the Ming army has just arrived, and it is inevitable that it will not be welcomed by the local heroes of Weigan, let alone control Weigan."
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Master Li waved his hand impatiently, signaling him not to beat around the bush.
"For the Ichthyosaurs, this Viganco is a big fish." Ghost Li smiled slightly.
"Now many pirates are besieging Laoag, fighting to the death with the Spaniards, and we are taking this opportunity to go south to Vigan, although this Vigan is not as prosperous as Laoag City, it is also a large harbor city, and the Ming army is unable to defend it at all when it first arrives, for the Ichthyosaurus Gang, it is not the sky that I will take." Ghost Li looked at Li Zihong's increasingly gloomy face and said indifferently.
"It's really worthy of being the second leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang." Li Zihong suddenly laughed and patted Ghost Li on the shoulder,
"I knew that you must have a plot to persuade me to let the Fish Dragon Gang go south, and I really deserve to be a ghost in the sea!"
The second master, Li Gui, smiled and continued: "The Ichthyosaurus Gang has more than 20 large and small ships, and if they can occupy Weigan, the Ichthyosaurus Gang will definitely prosper. ”
"Hmm," Li Zihong nodded,
"Wigan is indeed a good place, we have plundered in the sea, and Vigan's ships have also robbed a lot, presumably there are still many rich merchants in Wigan City today, they are all big fish." Li Zihong muttered to himself.
"The Black Flag Gang has been powerful over the years, but my Ichthyosaurus Gang is not easy to mess with, his alliance with the Ming Army does not mean that the Ichthyosaurus Gang has an alliance with his Ming Army, and the whole fleet sails to Wigan."
With Li Zihong's order,
The pirates on the deck immediately raised a large flag,
On the sea, more than twenty large and small ships suddenly turned and headed in the direction of Vigan.
Night falls silently,
Vigan City,
In the original Weigan official mansion, it is brightly lit at the moment.
"You see that this General Xiao Wuxiao ordered us to immediately send troops north to besiege Laoag City, what do you think?" Liu was dressed in armor, and at this time, he looked at the secret letter sent by Xiao Wushui with a sad face.
The soldiers sent by Xiao Wu to Weigan had already entered Weigan and sent Liu Quan a secret letter of sending troops to Laoag, which made Liu Quan a little embarrassed.
In the middle of the night, everyone was still arguing about the matter.
"Uncle, no." Liu Yu shook his head.
"I only have more than 500 soldiers in Huben Town, and it is still difficult to defend Vigan, so I am sending troops to help the pirates." Liu Yu was not optimistic about the pirate siege of Laoag itself, and now he looked at the tiger army that he had finally formed, which naturally made Liu Yu angry.
"Yes, General, after the information we have obtained these days, this Franc Robot Sailor did not suffer much loss, only two large ships were sunk, and the pirates were greatly injured, and at this moment it is already the end of the crossbow, just wait for the Franc Robot Sailor to recover, and it will be a matter of time before the pirates are defeated." Wang Tong, the leader of the co-ordinator, also opened his mouth to dissuade him.
The same was true of the opinions of several co-chairmen present,
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the pirates are already at the end of their crossbows, and when the Franco-robot man recovers, the pirates will inevitably be defeated under the city of Laoag.
At this moment, sending troops to Laoag, not to mention that the walls of Laoag are strong, and the Franco-mechanics who defend the city are brave and good at fighting, just rely on the hundreds of people in the Tiger Army plus those few poor small cannons, and go to Laoag and the Franco-robots to the death, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating.
Therefore, the generals of the Ming army present opposed the dispatch of troops to Laoag.
Looking at a group of indignant generals who opposed sending troops, Liu Quan also sighed helplessly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't know that sending troops to Laoag was impractical for the current Tiger Army," he looked at the generals with some embarrassment.
"If I don't send troops to support General Xiao who is besieging Laoag, then when the Francophiles exterminate the pirates, it will be the time when my Luzon Ming court will fall."
Liu Quan's words are not unreasonable,
Sending troops to Laoag is simply impossible for the Tiger Ben army stationed in Vigan,
However, the Ming army and the pirate forces originally supported each other and used each other.
After all, it was the threat of pirates that forced the Franc Robot to deploy all his forces in Laoag.
If you stand by and watch the pirates be defeated by the relieved Franc Man, then the Franc Man will inevitably turn his gun on the Luzon Ming Court.
And Vigan is bound to be the first target of the Franc man.
The generals present also woke up from their previous indignation, and everyone naturally understood the truth of cold lips and teeth.
They all looked at Liu Quan silently.
