In the bay, more than a thousand warriors scrambled to put down their work and go in search of weapons and armor.

Sun Cheng, who had experienced a hundred battles, commanded dozens of his subordinates, not in a hurry to put on armor, only carried bows and arrows, and found a few unbuilt ships on the outer edge and prepared to defend them.

This was very timely, because the warships of the pirates were already less than five hundred meters from the shore.

On the clear sea, it was as if a large dark cloud had risen out of thin air.

A look of heartache flashed in Mu Ying's eyes, but he quickly calmed down: "Everyone, find a place to hide!"

Hundreds of huge stones, roasted to the fire, fell in the shipbuilding camp of the Flying Fox Regiment, and those warships that were just in their embryonic form were hit by these flints, freeing up flames, and those weapons that were installed on the warships were hit by the stones and turned into piles of burning firewood.

"They were premeditated, they were coming for our warship!" "Bloodswallow looked at the mess of the shipyard, her plump chest heaving and angry.

Mu Ying had already run to the side of the two female generals, and said breathlessly: "Look at the flag, it's that guy named Wang Zhi, at least one hundred and twenty warships, with seven or eight thousand troops." ”

Mathilde's eyes erupted with fire: "The number of troops is five times ours, but it doesn't matter, as long as they dare to go ashore, we can dismantle them in eight pieces!"

The archers led by Sun Cheng in front had already exchanged with the pirates, and dozens of Xuanjie strong bows fired several salvos, killing and injuring hundreds of pirates standing on the side of the ship, but soon, after the pirates approached, their short bows also entered the range, and the much denser bows and arrows completely suppressed Sun Cheng and his team, Sun Cheng was forced to retreat with his men, but fortunately, at this time, Mathilde had already taken hundreds of Nords wearing armor and holding large shields to set up a formation, and the archers retreated behind the Nords, losing nearly thirty people in the process of retreating。

Despite their absolute numerical superiority, the pirates did not rush ashore to attack, but relied on their warships, pouring stone throwers and bows and arrows on the Nords, and Mathilde and the Nords resisted the rain of arrows with their shields and armor, and soon suffered considerable casualties.

However, as more mercenary warriors prepared for battle, the situation was turned over little by little, and the mercenaries' strong bows far exceeded the short bows of the pirates in terms of range and power, while the pirates' baked stone attacks were relatively slow, and gradually, the casualties of the pirates increased.

Not long after, Tai Shi Ci and Ye also rushed to support with the heavy cavalry of Oirat, and after several volleys of thousands of Murowei strong bows, the warships of the pirates turned their bows and withdrew from the battlefield.

Tai Shi Ci and the others could only put bows and arrows on the Haikou fleet for a few minutes, and then they also returned to the camp with the Nords who had suffered heavy losses.

"One hundred and ninety-three warriors were sacrificed, and more than one hundred and twenty were wounded. In the Chinese tent, a gloomy Mathilde reported the casualties to the three generals, most of whom were from the Nord Sea coast on the Far West Road, just like her.

"What's more, our shipbuilding program has suffered a major setback. Mu Ying clasped her head in her hands, looking frustrated.

Zhou Yu sighed: "Wang Zhi, this group of pirates, most of the leaders are from the big merchants, I am afraid that in this Dongling County, there are many of their eyeline, we are building ships in the bay, and after being detected by them, we will not let us succeed easily." ”

Blood Swallow hated: "There is such a person who is willing to be the eyeliner of the Haikou and help the Haikou plunder and slaughter his compatriots and families." ”

A voice came in from outside the door: "Wang Zhi is a person, and he is quite generous to these spies and eyeliners, for the sake of money, there are really many people who are willing to work for him." ”

Hearing this voice, everyone in the big tent seemed to be petrified, and after half a minute, they heard Sun Ce speak first: "Second brother!"

"Second brother!" "Sir!" Immediately, everyone spoke excitedly.

Yun Zhong strode into the Chinese military tent, followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old red-faced boy, behind the red-faced young man, followed by two younger children, one of whom was tall and strong, and heroic-looking, while the other was short and thin, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and his appearance was not good.

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly got up and wanted to give Yun Zhong to the seat of the main general, but Yun Zhong waved his hand: "It's not convenient for me to join this battle directly now, let's leave it to the eldest brother, I will only stay here for one day, and I will go back to Qingdai City first." ”

Tai Shi Ci had no choice but to give up, and Yun Zhong found a chair to sit down.

Zhou Yu asked: "The second brother just spoke, obviously he already knows something about these thieves, I don't know if there is a countermeasure?"

Yun Zhong smiled: "I'll introduce you to someone, Wen Xiang, please come forward." ”

I saw the red-faced young man step forward and salute everyone.

Yunzhong said: "This young man's surname is Xu Mingsheng, and he is a disciple I just accepted yesterday. ”

Mu Ying nodded: "At a young age, he is already a mid-level cultivator, which is not simple, but I want to congratulate the lord." ”

"Those two," Yunzhong pointed to Hideyoshi and the Toshi, "are also my disciples, and the three of them will stay here during this time and practice with you." ”

Zhou Yu asked: "Second brother, the strategy you said to break the enemy fell on these teenagers?"

Yun Zhong smiled, looked at Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng understood, and said: "Xu Hai, the leader of the Haikou, is the same villager and clan as Zaixia, and in detail, he is my distant uncle. ”

"Years ago, Xu Hai sneaked back to his hometown once, the main purpose was to meet him in the side room of his hometown, but he also had a drink with his father, during the banquet, Xu Hai said that he was tired of being a pirate and wanted to go home to be a field housekeeper. ”

Zhou Yu's body shook and looked at Yunzhong: "What does the second brother mean?"

Yunzhong nodded: "I have already sent a letter to Lord Wang Chong, asking him to ask Laizhou for his life and pardon Xu Hai's sins." In addition, I wrote another book and asked Xu Sheng to go to the sea, find Xu Hai, and hand the book to Xu Hai. ”

Tai Shi Ci asked, "What is the content of the letter?"

Yunzhong said: "Ordered Xu Hai to first try to provoke Wang Zhi and several other Haikou to fight, and then try to get rid of Wang Zhi and lead the Haikou to surrender to our army, if successful, I promise to give Xu Hai the title of a viscount, and in my territory, give him a Zhuangzi as his territory." ”

Zhou Yu said: "This condition is not low, Xu Hai should agree, but I'm afraid that Xu Hai may not be Wang Zhi's opponent, right?"

Yunzhong said: "So, I will give this task to you, the fourth brother, you and Xu Sheng together, use a pseudonym to vote for Xu Hai, and bring Hideyoshi and the Li family with them, the two of them are from Yingzhou, and most of them are also from Yingzhou, so it will be easier to speak." ”

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and said, "Good plan!"

Sun Ce muttered: "Although this plan is good, will the fourth brother be in danger?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Among the Haikou, there are very few masters, with the cooperation of me and Xu Hai, even if we can't complete the task, it shouldn't be a problem to get out of danger." ”

Sun Ce thought about it, so he didn't say anything more.

Yun Zhong said: "In this case, I will get together with the big guys in the camp tonight, and I will leave for Qingdai City tomorrow." ”

Sun Ce wanted to speak and stopped.

Yun Zhong asked, "Third brother, what's the matter?"

Sun Ce said: "After the second brother returns to Qingdai City, it is better to go to Yannan City quickly. ”

Yunzhong frowned and asked, "Is something happening over there in Yannan City?"

Blood Swallow hurriedly said: "Your fourth lady suddenly raised an army a month ago to attack Kangguo, and she has already broken seven or eight cities in Kangguo. ”

Yunzhong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Diao Chan?" ”
