Volume 3 Chapter 175: The Attack of the Sea Bandits
Dongling County, Laizhou, Dashang Kingdom, is one of the areas that has been most severely attacked by Haikou in recent decades, and now that the war between the north of Dashang and the Rakshasa Kingdom has ended, both the imperial court and the rebel army from all walks of life have paid attention to the coast of the East China Sea and fought to eradicate the cancer that has been breeding for decades.
Recently, Dongling County ushered in a 10,000-strong volunteer army.
Compared with other rebels, this team is quite eye-catching: first of all, it is particularly well-equipped, all the soldiers are in black armor, at least the Xuan rank, and there are many earth and even heaven steps, two thousand heavy horses, eight thousand heavy steps, walking on the road, feeling that the earth is trembling.
Another eye-catcher is that the leaders of this team are three young and handsome generals, the first is tall and strong, with a purple face, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a dignified appearance; the second is slender, with a face as white as jade, and a beautiful posture like a girl, but there are three long whiskers under the chin; and the third is a rare beautiful man, who has caused many screams of young girls and young women along the way.
Immediately following these three were more than a dozen generals, the most striking of which was a blonde woman in heavy armor, with a delicate face, but a height of more than one meter eight, and a physique stronger than that of ordinary men.
This team is naturally the Flying Fox Regiment that has made a long journey from Qingdai City, Heishan County, Youzhou, and the team is led by the three sworn brothers in the clouds: Tai Shici, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu.
The three brothers were originally under the command of Sun Jian, the father of Sun Ce's rebellious general, and fought against Haikou in Laizhou, but a few months ago, Sun Jian crossed the robbery and entered the immortal level, directly entered the Great Shang Divine Army, and went to join the conquest of the Shura realm, Sun Ce and others returned to Youzhou, just as there was no war in Youzhou, Lan Yu and Blood Swallow practiced in the dungeon of Huangying Mountain every day, and their cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and they needed real battles to sharpen, so they and the three ladies who sat in Qingdai City, Zixiao, Zhao Qian and Mo Li discussed it, and then organized such an expeditionary force to come to the East China Sea.
"Xianggong promised Fei Na before, after the war with the Rakshasa country is over, he will move to Laizhou and pacify Haikou, and now although Sister Na is dead, this promise is still there, but my Xianggong is already a true immortal, and it will break some rules to deal with those mortal thieves, so you will complete this promise for my Xianggong." Mo Li said when he handed over the battle flag he had sewn by himself to Tai Shici and the others.
The Flying Fox Regiment marched mightily for more than two months, and after first going to Laizhou to see Laizhou Mu Youhu, they were sent by Youhu to this Dongling County.
"According to the county guard Wang Chong, there are more than 100,000 sea monsters along the coast of Dongling County, and there are three of the most powerful ones, and the leader of the first branch is called Jian Lian, and his cultivation is only in the late stage of the ground level, but there are ten sea monsters for him to drive, with a total strength of about 30,000 and 600 warships. After camping, Zhou Yu was in the big tent of the Chinese army and introduced the enemy's situation to the generals.
"The leader of the second branch is Wang Zhi, but he is from our Great Shang Country, but most of his subordinates are from Yingzhou, and his own cultivation is not high, but there is a general named Xu Hai under him, whose strength has reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Rank, in addition to ten sea monsters, five hundred warships, and a total strength of twenty-seven thousand. ”
"As for the third one, it's a woman, but don't think too much, it's not a beauty," Zhou Yu looked around at everyone, a smile appeared on his face, and he focused on taking care of Dong Ping and Yexian, the two hungry ghosts, "Her name is Zhiguang, she is about forty years old this year, she is more than two meters tall, her waist is ten girths, her strength has reached the early stage of the Heavenly Order, there are two sea monsters, three hundred warships, and fifteen thousand troops. ”
"As for the rest of the pirates, there are about sixty or seventy thousand men, more than a thousand large and small warships, belonging to more than twenty forces, and they sometimes form alliances to harass the coast, and sometimes they attack each other. ”
Tai Shi Ci's face sank like water: "We need warships, is Lord Wang Chong willing to provide us with some warships?"
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Yes, but there are not many, there are only ten, and they are all old warships eliminated from the Great Shang army, small and dilapidated, and they can't compete with the warships of the Japanese invaders." ”
Mathilde said: "I took a thousand Nords to cut down trees and build ships, and we Nords are also a people of the sea, and shipbuilding and voyages are our strengths. ”
On the side, Alleyne whispered, "Going to rob by boat is also your Nord's strength." ”
Mathilde glanced at Ellen and did not speak, Alleyne lowered her head and looked hard at a colored pebble at her feet, only by the sea, can there be a stone that has been polished so beautifully by nature, right?
Sun Ce coughed lightly and said, "In this case, please ask Mathilde to take his brothers from Nord to cut down and build ships, remember that it is better to have a shortage than an abundance, and the quality of the warship will be closely related to the survival rate of our warriors." ”
Mathilde nodded, "Hmm".
Mu Ying said: "I'm here to assist you, I'm not good at shipbuilding, but I can load some weapons on the warship." ”
Mathilde looked interested: "The Gronians have crashed into catapults and huge hooks on their warship, and this is what they have always been able to overwhelm us Nords in battles at sea. ”
After the matter of shipbuilding had been decided, he also spoke first: "I am afraid that the matter of shipbuilding will keep us here for at least a month, and the rest of us have no reason to be idle for this month, and besides, although there are Mathilde and her Nord warriors, fighting at sea is not our strong point, and if we can lead the pirates to fight on land, even if there are forty or fifty thousand pirates, they are not our opponents." ”
Tai Shi Ci said: "Reasonable, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, after all, we have not fought with the enemy in front of us, we can't see them all as stupid, before we have a perfect plan, we still need more temptations, in my opinion, first by me, the third brother, Ye Xian, Dong Ping, Li Te, Shi Jin six people, each with two hundred cavalry around, if you meet a small group of pirates landing, you will be eliminated directly, if you meet the enemy's large army, immediately report to the camp, the fourth brother and Lan Yu sit in the camp, you see how it is." ”
There was no objection from the crowd.
In the next ten days or so, Ellen led a thousand Rakshasas to cut down trees in the mountains and forests more than ten miles from the coast, Mathilde and Mu Ying took the Nords to work day and night in the bay to build warships, and Blood Swallow and Sun Cheng, the first master in the clouds, also brought hundreds of people to the bay to help, and saw that fifty warships had taken shape.
At the same time, Tai Shi Ci and Ye Xian and others led the elite Oirat cavalry to attack everywhere, and had many skirmishes with those scattered pirates who landed on the shore, and beheaded more than 1,000 people before and after.
On this day, in the bay where the Flying Fox Regiment was shipbuilding, Mu Ying was debugging a bed crossbow on a warship that had not yet been launched, while Blood Swallow and Mathilde were chatting on the shore while watching everyone work.
"Sister Yanzi, Li Te, Yu Cheng, Shi Jin, Lan Yu, and Ye Xian, which one can get into your blue eyes?" Mathilde smiled ambiguously.
"Sister Mathilde, don't talk about me, you have a lot of peach blossoms. The Blood Swallow squinted at the tall, burly blonde Nord beauty.
Mathilde was about to continue laughing, when she suddenly stood up and looked at the sea level in the distance, and the blood swallow was stunned and stood up too.
At sea level, hundreds of black sticks stood there, slowly approaching the bay.
"That's the mast. Mathilde snatched the greatsword behind her back into her hand, "Attack by the pirates! Everyone is ready to fight!"
