Chapter 686: The Battle Is Settled?
This scene shocked Xie Cang, at first he wondered if this was a trap deliberately set by the other party, but he watched all the retreating pirates retreat to the inner island, and even took the corpses of their dead companions on the battlefield with them.
Xie Cang understood that the other party had really withdrawn, although he didn't know what method Su Qi'an used, but this opportunity was not easy.
Xie Cang immediately made a decision, ordered the forward troops, quickly retreated, and supported the rearguard troops as soon as possible, and in the next battle, he said that he would also exterminate the 10,000 Fusang sailors who ambushed them, so that they could not retreat.
On Zhoushan Island, on a remote uninhabited reef, Liu Chuang took the mountain down Yong and hid temporarily.
The location of this reef is very remote, although it is not large, but it is more than enough to accommodate a dozen people.
In the surroundings, Liu Chuang's henchmen have been secretly monitoring for a long time, but if there is any trouble, they will act as soon as possible.
On the reef, Liu Chuang tied up the mountain Yong, then sat down and said softly.
"I'm sorry, big boss, I can only temporarily wronged you for now, and when the ambush is destroyed, I will naturally let you go back at that time."
Yamashita Yong nodded slightly, there was no resistance in the whole process, he was very cooperative, with a smile on his face, no matter what Liu Chuang said, how bad the news he got, Yamashita Yong was very calm.
There was no emotion, as if everything in front of him was in his expectations.
Yamashita Yong looked at Liu Chuang, and took the initiative to chat, and the things he asked were also very trivial, nothing more than asking Liu Chuang's real name and how Jiro Sakai died.
Liu Chuang did not hide this, and bluntly told him that the current war, with him controlling Yamashita Yong, was supported by 10,000 Yuezhou sailors.
With Su Qi'an's command ability, the two sides are sandwiched, and it is more than enough to solve the ambush Fusang sailors, as for the third battlefield sea area, with Zhou Tai's command, Fujiwara Shinichi is strong, and in the case of little difference in strength, the two sides will fight a tug-of-war.
When they solve the Fusang sailors who are clamped in the bag, this time the counterattack battle can be regarded as a victory...
And the pirates entrenched on the inner islands can gather the soldiers of Dongzhou in the rear to come when the time comes, and slowly wear off, and it will be a matter of time before they are taken down.
In this kind of situation that is basically a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, Liu Chuang will be satisfied with some of what Yamashita Yong wants to know.
After receiving the answer, Yamashita nodded slightly, without a little resentment towards Sakai Jiro dying at his hands.
Jiro Sakai is destined to die in this battle, even if he is lucky enough to come back alive, he will kill him, but fortunately, he has completed his mission before he dies, and his death is worth it.
Yamashita Yong is more, not interested in Su Qi'an, but the king of Yue, who is far away in Yuezhou and does not show mountains and waters, is a little admired.
On the surface, this battle was commanded by Su Qi'an, and it seemed that he had the greatest credit, but if there was no strategy behind the scenes of this King of Yue, it would not be so simple for Su Qi'an to win this battle.
Between Yamashita Yong's words, it was obvious that he was disdainful of Su Qi'an, and if it was someone else, he might have scoffed at Yamashita Yong's attitude, thinking that he was just trying to save his face and make a final death struggle.
But what Liu Chuang said, he has been with Yamashita Yong for a while, and he knows his temperament to some extent.
He looked at Yamashita Yong and asked, "It seems that the big boss is still very unconvinced, if I guess correctly, the big boss should still have hole cards out yet."
Liu Chuang's words first made Yamashita Yong stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing, he looked at Liu Chuang and said, "Hehe, it is worthy of being the person I rely on and trust the most, and you can see it."
"However, this matter is not yet timely, when I meet the Dongzhou Inspector, you will tell everything you want to know."
After saying this, Yamashita Yong's eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like he was resting, not at all worried that Liu Chuang would kill him.
And just like that, Liu Chuang stood up, looked at Yamashita Yong, was silent for a while, and then turned around and walked away, beckoning a subordinate, talking to his subordinate, and leaving after a while.
Yamashita Isamu is hateful but currently
It is indeed the biggest card he holds, not to mention that he can order the pirates on the island to put down their weapons and be captured.
But as long as Yamashita is in his hands for a moment, he can make the pirates very jealous.
And what he has to do next is to wait for Su Qi'an to command the water division, and Xie Cang to defeat the Fusang water division in one fell swoop.
At this time, on the periphery of Zhoushan Island, everything developed as everyone expected, with the return of Xie Cang's army, and the arrival of the sailors led by Su Qi'an, the pirates on the inner island could not retreat.
Under the encirclement of both sides, the 10,000 Fuso sailors were beaten and suffered heavy losses when there was no way to retreat and no way to advance, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
Just when the outer islands were in full swing, at this time, in the rear, on the coast of Dongzhou, in a certain sea area, on the calm sea, the waves suddenly became rapid.
Because it was night, I couldn't see it very clearly, but with the help of the hazy moonlight on the horizon, I could vaguely see vague shadows in the sea one after another, diving out from under the sea, and then quickly approaching the coast.
It stands to reason that every area on the coast of Dongzhou is guarded by patrol soldiers, but tonight, this area is empty.
Not only that, but as a variable number of figures came ashore, a convoy of men and horses appeared in the woods on the coast.
The group of centaurs held torches and let out a few rhythmic whistles, and after a while, the leading figure also responded.
After confirming, the group beckoned to pass quickly, and after a few moments, the figure that had dived into the beach from the sea area quickly entered the forest.
I could vaguely hear some conversations, "Your Excellency has been waiting for you for a long time, follow me into the city first, and when the time comes, it will be time to counterattack."
"By the way, I would like to remind you that this joint operation ashore is the request of your boss, so this operation, you must obey the orders of your lords, if you are dissatisfied and make trouble in secret, don't say that your boss will not let you go, we will also solve you immediately."
The leader of the figure nodded, and said softly, "Don't worry, although I see that you are unhappy, but you still understand which is more important, everything is for the sake of the overall situation, and please keep your promises, once you succeed, you should understand the distribution of Dongzhou."
"That's nature, this is not the place to talk, hurry into the city, if you are discovered by the patrol nearby, it will be troublesome."
After a while, the cacophony of the woods faded away, and soon the place was calm as if nothing had happened...
On the outskirts of Zhoushan Island, the two sides fought fiercely for nearly an hour, and after paying five or six thousand casualties, they finally wiped out the stubborn Fuso Naval Division.
The warships of the Yuezhou Navy Division docked on the outer coast, and the entire sea area was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with thick blood, whether it was in the sea area or on the shore, all kinds of mutilated corpses could be seen everywhere.
This is not the most cruel, in the outer seas, the flames are soaring, and it is obvious that several destroyed Fuso warships can be seen, and this battle is very difficult.
These regular Fusang troops, especially the warring water divisions, are indeed very strong in terms of combat effectiveness, if it is not for the entrapment, Xie Cang's troops alone, if they want to eat him, at least in a short time, it is unlikely.
On the beach, Su Qi'an took Wu Dingguo, Su Yong and other generals to the island quickly, walked through the battlefield of fierce battles, and finally found Xie Cang, who was resting because of the fierce battle just now, on a beach rock.
The two sides looked at each other, didn't say anything, and hugged each other directly.
"This battle has been hard!"
"Yes, we won this battle, and the battle in Dongzhou is a certainty."
"Brother Su, give the order, you can encircle and suppress the remnants of the bandits on the inner island."
Xie Cang said seriously, his expression was excited, this battle was too difficult, and he had experienced too many twists and turns, and now, with the ambushed Fusang Sailor being annihilated, they could finally see the signs of victory.
Although they suffered heavy casualties, as long as Su Qi'an gave the order to besiege the inner island, launch the final decisive battle, and rely on the combat strength of his soldiers to completely conquer Zhoushan Island, it would be a matter of time before he completely conquered Zhoushan Island.
Xie Cang's excitement, Su Qi'an could understand, he also wanted to do it as quickly as possible,
Take Zhoushan Island.
But he knew that the last moment, the more calm he had to be, and now the ambush division on the periphery was annihilated, and on the island, Yamashita Yong was controlled by Liu Chuang.
It can be said that they have the advantage, but Su Qi'an thinks more about taking Zhoushan Island with as few casualties as possible.
Immediately his order was issued, and Su Qi'an's order was very simple, first let the messengers send a signal to the inner island, informing the recalcitrant pirates on the island that they had exterminated the outer Fuso sailors.
There will no more reinforcements, they are already heavily surrounded, put down their weapons and surrender, and still save their lives.
Immediately afterwards, someone will be sent to contact Liu Chuang, and when the time comes, there will be a hostage of Yamashita Yong in his hand, and with psychological warfare, even if the pirates on the inner island continue to resist stubbornly, that strong resistance will be shaken.
In the end, the whole army gathered and slowly headed towards the inner island, putting pressure on the other side.
Under the triple pressure, it is very likely that the pirates on the inner island will surrender, so that the soldiers are not bloody, and there are no casualties, which is Su Qi'an's goal.
Since ancient times, attacking the heart is the top, and it is really a last resort, so we will make a fierce attack.
As the order was issued, the soldiers quickly assembled and marched towards the inner island. When the pirates on the inner island received the news, they were still somewhat panicked.
Although there were preparations, it was still difficult to accept that the Fuso Naval Division on the periphery was annihilated.
They occupied the commanding heights of the inner island, looking ahead, with torches, the Dongzhou soldiers who were slowly approaching, their faces were solemn.
At the forefront, their big bosses were still under control, coming towards them, and at this moment their hearts sank to the bottom.
Not to mention these pirates and pirates, especially the leaders led by them, except for the big boss, the others now have some regrets in their hearts.
I regret my indifference to the Fuso Navy Division just now, if they send troops, will the result be better?
It's a pity that there is no if, victory or defeat is in a thought, looking at the big boss at the front, they are very puzzled, why there is no resistance, this is not in line with his character.
Just watched the Dongzhou soldiers approaching and forced them to a dead end, is it good to retreat?
