Chapter 698: Capture of the Port
Wu Qian sat on Xiaoba's body and raised his eyes to look at the misty Hengmen Port in the morning mist. Compared to the past, the harbor is significantly depressed, and the original situation of the rows and trees is gone, and it is replaced by a dead air.
Looking at this good harbor on the shore of the rising sea, showing her figure lazily like a beauty, Wu Jian couldn't stop.
This port, from the moment he stepped into Kuntianzhou, Wu Jian fell in love at first sight, and always thought about it in his arms. Struggling in Bailing, fighting in the iron hand, it was this last moment.
Soon, there will be majestic warships, brave soldiers, flying shuttles that cover the sun, and the dreams of Wu Gen and his brothers.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Wu Yan groaned softly and lay on his back on Xiao Ba's back.
He was in a deep sleep when he heard the sound of a boat oars paddling behind him. A small boat rowed towards Xiaoba, and Chu Xi was sitting on the boat.
"The golden city is broken." Stepping on Xiaoba, facing Wu Gan, who was awakened, Chu Xi's first sentence made him completely sober up.
"So soon, I thought it would take some time." Wu Gan took the battle report and read it carefully. These days, he seems to be like an idle cloud and a wild crane every day, or lingering on the sea, or submerged in the sea to cultivate, but there is always a string in his heart, that is, the war in the north.
It's really hard to say about war, even if you win a hundred battles, if you don't pay attention to it, you may capsize in the gutter. The dreadnought army has a thin background and can't withstand the toss. Now that I have good news, my hanging heart has finally let go.
According to the battle report, Hulan Fuyan risked his life to sneak into the city and control the formation in the city, and those wrestlers not only did not defend the city, but suddenly launched an attack on those soldiers of the Hua family, and the dreadnought army occupied the city almost bloodlessly.
Hua Yanlin wanted to escape, but under the interception of Shui Congyue, he was stopped two hundred miles outside the city. After being seriously injured, he wanted to ask Shui Congyue to spare his life, and was willing to join the dreadnought army to cross the sea and have a glimpse of Tianyuan's demeanor.
It's just that Yang Zheng didn't hesitate to kill him, and he didn't even report to Wu Gan, and even Shui Congyue didn't stop him.
Because Yang Zheng only said one sentence, he had seen the beauty of the peak, how could he be willing to lie dormant in the bleakness of the valley.
A person like Hua Yanlin can be regarded as a hero, if he is really given twenty years, no, as long as ten years, he can't really be able to point directly at Tianyuan Continent.
It's just that his long-cherished wish coincides with the goal of the Dreadnought, and there is a natural conflict between the two, plus if he takes Hua Yanlin in, it is equivalent to stabbing a thorn in Hulan Fuyan's heart, and sooner or later this thorn will become thousands of swords.
Yang Zheng didn't want the dreadnought army to take such a risk, nor did he want Wu Yan to bear any reputation for killing the lord, so he simply disposed of Hua Yanlin in the name of the Hulan family on the front line.
"Owner of the village, once Jincheng is lost, Zuoheng Road has actually fallen into the hands of our army. This is a secret letter sent by Hu Yanmo, Liu Zheng and Habao are in internal conflict and have been killed by him. Today's haptha can be described as a soldier of grass and trees, and it is impossible to live in fear.
He planned to take down Habao and the others, so that he would not kill people indiscriminately under his madness and plague Zuoheng Road and Hengmen Port. I'm ready for Huyanmo to attack and kill Ha Leopard and take control of Lingyun City." Chu Xi sat on Xiao Ba's back, Xiao Ba's face turned around, and he looked at the person in front of him curiously.
Wu Yan looked at the battle report in his hand and was silent for a long time. Chu Xi had already told him that Huyanmo was deliberately left on Zuoheng Road, and ordered him not to go against Habao on the surface, so as to wait for the opportunity. As for Chu Xi's proposal to kill the leopard, I am afraid it is also for his own consideration, so as not to be embarrassed by the old man after he goes ashore.
"Mobilize our people on land to keep an eye on the movements of the An Si family, and send letters to the people of the original Qi family, the Mo Zhi family, and the Baili family, and hand over those who are stained with the blood of my dreadnought army. Remember, I only need heads, otherwise I don't mind moving them all to Fang Zhudao and giving them all to the mermaids as slaves." After a long time, Wu Gen finally raised his head.
"As for the harbour leopard, if you want to live, I don't care about the others. Inform the aftermath, gather the men, and prepare to go ashore." Wu Gen returned the battle report to Chu Xi, patted Xiaoba, and signaled to return to Huangdao.
The Yellow Island was busy, and the people either rode the giant rays or tread the waves, and soon 7,000 people were assembled at sea.
These days, the aftermath can be described as painful
Thinking about pain, he worked with Lan Qianye to reorganize the army with all his might, thinking of correcting the merman's loose behavior in one fell swoop.
After the battle of Huangdao, although Wu Gen did not say it explicitly, Qu Chi, Lan Zhong and others were a little unable to raise their heads, originally thought that their own mermaids were good at fighting, but even the people and horses hurriedly formed by the shepherds could not beat, if it were not for Wu Gen's great might, deterring the opponent, the battle of the day did not know who won and who lost.
Regarding the whole army of the water division, Wu Gen watched coldly and did not interfere too much. It is the nature of the merman to be casual, and only by fighting a few more battles and experiencing the tempering of blood and fire can this team be truly reborn. Therefore, Wu Gan's idea was that if the war at sea was not diligent, then let the mermaids go ashore to fight, and at the same time, the sailors should absorb some fearless soldiers who had been in battle for a long time on land.
But at the moment, Wu Gen can only rely on these people. The main force of the dreadnought army is still in the northern part of the province, cleaning up the mess and defending against the attack of Xian Yujia with the people of Ji State.
At the same time, Hulan Fuyan is about to ascend to the throne of the lord, and he also needs the support of the dreadnought army for a period of time, so only the rear army led by Zhuo Ke can go south. It's just that when he arrives with the army, it will take at least more than 20 days, and he can't count on it.
"Lord, there's a fire in the harbor." Yu Feng pointed to the billowing smoke column rising from Hengmen Port in the distance, and said with an anxious expression.
"Lord, the enemy forces on the shore are in chaos, our army might as well attack quickly, so as not to rout and destroy the port." Chu Xi also suggested urgently.
"Can Huyan Mo lead people into Hengmen Port?" Wu Qian turned his head and asked.
Chu Xi was ashamed, sighed and said, "Huyan Mo originally wanted to secretly take down the Ha Leopard, but he was noticed by it, and under the fierce battle, now the Ha Bao and Qi Yue have fled to Zerun City, the main city of the original Qi family, and Hu Yan Mo is leading people to chase after him."
"Forget it, leave him alone, the whole army will march." Seeing that there was no one available, Wu Jian had no choice but to attack Hengmen Port with these 7,000 mermaids.
Soon, the sailor drove the crab and approached Hengmen Port. The closer you get to the port, the more obvious the column of smoke becomes. Moreover, it can be seen that it is not a fire, and it seems that someone is deliberately setting fire and looting property.
Wu Qian's face was a little ugly, and he turned his head suddenly, "Lan Qianye."
"The subordinates are here." Lan Qianye's expression froze, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Draw 500 men to make a good man, go ashore as quickly as I can, and intercept and kill these thieves who set fires. Yu Feng led his army to follow, and as soon as he came ashore, he cleared out the stubborn enemy, and did not pursue the thieves who escaped from Hengmen Harbor until the fire was extinguished." Wu Gen coldly commanded, seeing that Hengmen Port was about to be recovered, but it was about to be burned, how could he not be annoyed. It's all money, if you rebuild Hengmen Port, how can you have the money to build ships and build sailors.
"Owner of the village, is there a little less than 500 people, why don't you wait for the thieves to rob for a while, then they are bent on looting property, the military system will collapse, and our army will be easy to get." Lan Qianye whispered.
"Huh?" Wu Gen squinted his eyes and glanced at Lan Qianye, his eyes were a little cold, and he pointed to the fire-filled Hengmen Port, "That's mine."
"Understood." Lan Qianye immediately understood what Wu Qian meant, he was quite familiar with these mermaids, and quickly recruited five hundred people to join the ranks.
"Let's go, I'll clear the way." Wu Gan dragged the broken knife and rushed to Hengmen Port like a gust of wind, and behind him were five hundred mermaids shuttling in the water.
Without waiting for the mermaids behind to follow, Wu Yan was the first to step on the solid ground of the port, and saw hundreds of people carrying torches and bulging cloth bags on their backs, searching for useful things.
There was a man who was about to throw his torch at a grain storehouse, which, though important to the shepherds, was difficult to carry, and who wanted to burn it if he could not take it away.
The torch tumbled and fell towards the warehouse, and suddenly a person appeared in front of the warehouse, and grabbed the torch steadily. Wu Yan shook his hand, extinguished the torch in his hand, and brought a string of phantoms to the man.
Before approaching, Wu Yan had no intention of slowing down, and his right fist slammed into the man's abdomen. Poof, a blood mist erupted in front of the man, half of his body was smashed, and his body flew out like rags, falling heavily into the crowd.
"Put things down, or die." Wu Yan stepped forward, his foot stomped on the bluestone paved ground, and countless fine cracks stretched from his feet to the surroundings.
It looks like a giant spider's web.
Most of these people in front of them were originally stationed on the shore and had never seen Wu Gan, so how could they be willing to let them put down the things they had grabbed with great difficulty at this time. The so-called people die for money, and if they get money that they have never seen in their lives, some people will desperately protect their wealth.
Then someone shouted, and a dozen men rushed up with their swords.
Wu Gan's body fell slightly, he held the broken knife back, and stepped heavily on the ground with his right foot, and the whole person flew forward like an arrow from the string, rushing into these people.
Boom, a burst of sound of breaking the air came, Wu Gen had rushed out of the crowd in the blink of an eye, his body was slammed away, and he was already standing firmly on the ground. The tremendous force of the sudden stop caused his feet to shatter the stones under his feet and sink deep into the earth.
Only then did a scream come from behind him. Those who rushed towards Wu Gan, the root of the thigh was cut off, the section of the broken bone was smooth and clean, and the burning caused by high-speed friction actually burned the wound so much that it stopped the bleeding.
Looking at the tragic situation of his own family, those who were still ready to loot were pale, this strange man who specialized in breaking his leg like a ghost was so ruthless.
"Run." Someone finally came to his senses, and no matter how much property they robbed, it would be useless to lose their lives. But after a few steps, the ghost-like figure appeared in front of him, "I said, put things down."
Soon, these people, who came to their senses, threw down their back pockets and ran around.
Wu Gan ignored them, turned around and rushed to other places where the fire started. When Lan Chiba rushed to the port with people, he saw a scene that shocked them.
Wu Gan was rushing left and right in the port with hundreds of people alone, and the ground was full of dropped packages.
"Quick, get out of the way, put out the fire. It is not allowed to pick up anything on the ground, and those who violate the order will be killed." Lan Qianye immediately made a decision, Wu Qian didn't need to be rescued, the most important thing at the moment was to keep the port and keep the wealth that had been accumulated for many years.
So five hundred men rushed around the harbor, killing wherever there was fire, and those who escaped from the harbor had no time to care, and it was a great victory to keep the harbor.
When the large army led by Yu Feng arrived, nearly 7,000 people were busy until the afternoon, and then they cleared the remnants of the enemy in the entire Hengmen Port and extinguished the raging fire.
Wu Gan's face was ashes, and he sat on the ground looking at the harbor that was still smoking, and his face was a little ugly.
"The lord of the village, after interrogating the captives, this order to burn the port was given in a hurry." Yu Feng came over and cautiously reported, "At present, most of the Hua family horses on Zuoheng Road have fled, and Hua Zhenglan is fleeing east to Shule Province with 10,000 people. If our army wants to pursue, we must immediately go out of the harbor to search for the war horses."
Wu Yan looked at the mermaids who were resting in the port, and some of them were quietly stuffing things into their arms, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to collect a lot of good things.
Wu Yan shook his head, "Forget it, just after the battle, these people have gained a lot of benefits, and when they gather together and go to find horses, Hua Zhenlan will already know where to flee." Order, immediately purge the ranks, pull out those who are not good at fighting fires, but only care about enriching their own pockets, and cut them down."
