Their original plan was to kidnap the crew and sailors and let them sail the ship, after all, it was ready-made. But now, the people on the ship are all people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are extremely strict with the handling of traitors.

It was impossible to get them to compromise, and it seemed that these men from the Five Cities were preparing to capture them offshore, so it was unlikely that they would have sailors with experience in ocean voyages.

In this case, the possibility of sailing on someone else is basically zero, and you still have to rely on yourself in the end. So even if they really escaped, there were no charts, or no sailors who looked at the charts, and the chances that they would survive to the Western Song Dynasty and Western Qin were very small.

And at this time, inside another cabin

"Boss, you are really bold this time, Longchang Firm, this is the ship of Longchang Firm!" said a young man with a somewhat white face.

This group of people is the same group of people who were arguing at the dock just now to board the ship, and now they are all here, and the attitude of those crew members is not good for them as uninvited guests, even if it is a room for them, it is just a large bunk.

"Do you think I don't know about the Longchang Firm?" the one-eyed man snorted coldly, "As far as you know, there are people in the Longchang Firm above the official face of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I don't know?" Or do you think I will be afraid of the thugs they raised, or those bounty hunters." ”

The one-eyed man's white-eyed whiteness embarrassed the fair-faced young man, but he explained to himself, "That's not what I meant...... I mean, after this vote is done, we're ...... may not be able to stay in Nantang anymore. The Five Cities Terracotta Division may be wanted by the whole world, and when the time comes, ......"

"Can't stay in Nantang? Do you think I don't know the consequences of doing this vote, I'm full of food and hold on? Don't live a good life? Or will I not be able to live on the island? The one-eyed man continued, "We haven't digested the vote half a month ago, and now it's coming out this time, not what I mean, but what I mean." Now it's not that I'm going to grab this vote, it's someone who has entrusted me with grabbing a vote."

"What does that mean?" A man with a tiger's back stood up instantly, but he didn't think about where he was now, so he let his head make intimate contact with the bed, and sat directly on the bed in the lower bunk. However, the wooden bed above his head was also a little cracked by him.

The rest of the people reacted similarly, because they had been pirates for so many years, and they only knew that their boss could be thriving among pirates, and that was because their boss was different from other pirates, he was an organized pirate, to put it simply, there were people on it, as long as they ate this mouthful, they would give two or three points of face.

But this one is like missing, unless there is the boss who is not open-eyed, he will go to the so-called top for help. And three days after each call for help, the opponent's entire family would be hung on the island, as if it were a demonstration. So there are many people who are extremely curious about this, and today is the first time I heard the boss officially talk about it, and I was also surprised.

"Sit down. The one-eyed man snorted coldly, "Look at you, what are you all like? Isn't it just a bit of news, can you have the temperament of a big guy?"

"Don't blame them, after all, the existence of wolf thieves is a secret to them. A cold-faced man next to the one-eyed man said.

"I said that the second master, you speak lightly, what is a secret, you haven't said it, okay?" said the man with a tiger's back, "If I hadn't gone out with you last time, I wouldn't know who our backer is." ”

The cold-faced man, who was known as the second master, snorted coldly, and then said, "The mission this time is very simple, it is to protect a group of people on the ship. ”

A trace of astonishment flashed on the faces of all the pirates, what are they kidding, they are Jiangyang thieves, they are in the business of pirates, the business of killing people and setting fires, when did they actually want to protect people? Moreover, looking at the serious faces of the big boss and the second boss, this mission is not like a child's play, and they have brought all the people out, which shows that this task is not difficult.

"Let's put it bluntly, there is very little cargo on these ships, and the Five Cities Terracotta Division asked the Longchang firm to borrow these ships in order to catch the group of people on board. "It's just that the gang on the ship isn't good either." Originally, I brought you to this city to save them at a critical moment. They were all ready to confront the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the local city defenders, and the City Defense Army, but these people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division didn't know what they were thinking, so they directly booked the arrest location to the sea. ”

"On the sea, it's just a sailor to grab the credit, and on the land, the city defense, the city lord, and the yamen are all credits. The cold wolf said, "It's a normal choice, it's just that this guy is a little greedy." ”

"Then the people on the boat are the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division?" Zhao Hu, the third master, that is, the man who hit the bed board before, his face changed drastically.

It is true that he is a good man in the rivers and lakes, but it does not mean that he is not afraid of death, the Five Cities Terracotta Division is a more dangerous existence than death, although the people on the rivers and lakes have not yet come to talk about the attitude of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, but it is almost the same, these guys, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are notorious, the most important thing is that the strength of these guys is very strong.

"Don't worry, we're trying to save a lot of people, and we just need to grab a ship. A smile appeared at the corner of the one-eyed wolf's mouth, "And I have already sent out the signal, presumably, within three days, these guys will not do it for the time being, as long as they survive for three days, the people who will pick us up will come." ”

Although the one-eyed wolf said this, he was extremely uncalm in his heart, and after being at sea for so long, he knew very well that the wind and waves on the sea would not be small in the next few days, and there might even be a storm. In this kind of weather, the support of the wolf thieves wants to come, but I am afraid that it is impossible.

Next, I have to rely on myself, hoping that the fleets of these five-city terracotta divisions will fall into chaos in the storm, and only if they fall into chaos, will they have a chance.

And at this time, the heavenly wind closed the city

With an order, the soldiers of Nantang quickly rushed out. They had only been here for half a day, and it was also thanks to Li Ye that they had been selected at that time, so these soldiers had no problem in enduring hardships and standing hard work, and they launched an attack in half a day.

The first to go up were the infantry, and to put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder. Of course, these cannon fodder are not ordinary cannon fodder, but those baggage teams that helped the Western Qin army transport grain and grass. It's just that most of these baggage teams have been attacked by Wang Hunt, and less than thirty percent of the grain and grass that can be transported over, some of them fled directly, and some of them came to Xijiang City head-on.

There is no doubt that Li Ye directly convicted these guys. It's just that I didn't say it at the time, I just organized these guys into a battalion independently, and now I send them to be cannon fodder, and see how Xiqin reacts.

Facts have proved that Wang Meng's side is not stupid, and a group of people in the city just watched the clamor of these cannon fodder, as if they were watching a play.

Li Ye saw this scene, "Let's attack the city directly, the other party is obviously a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and this kind of small means can't hide from him." ”

The two generals immediately took the order, and the other generals were also a little nervous. They are now all the commanders of the light pole, and in order to coordinate and unify, they have all handed over their troops to Li Ye, and these are their military powers. Although Li Ye will return it later, if the loss in this siege battle is too great...... Li Ye has not come out yet, which is equivalent to cutting their military power.

The siege vehicles had already been prepared, and a large number of soldiers held shields and pushed the siege vehicles forward. And above their heads, a rain of arrows fell from the sky above the Heavenly Wind Pass

Around them, there were soldiers who kept falling, but there were still many soldiers rushing forward, and no one stopped their steps. A lot of the time, it's not that they want to rush, if they can, they also want to hide behind, but behind them is the steel knife of the Warlord, as long as they take a step back, it is a steel knife and neck.

Fortunately, after all, these people are all teams that Li Ye has drawn from various main cities to fight well, and these casualties are still within an acceptable range for them, and the team has not collapsed yet.

Li Linfeng watched his soldiers continue to consume, and the complexion on his face gradually began to stiffen. Although I knew that the cost of siege was relatively large, I didn't expect that the cost would be so large, although I couldn't see where my men were? But judging from the consumption rate on the battlefield, my subordinates should be much better.

In the past two days, he has been in a good mood, because he has taken refuge in Li Ye's relationship, so he can be regarded as having someone to support him in the barracks, and his right to speak has increased greatly, not to mention, he used to talk to Yuwen Ye, most of the time he was trained with his head down, but in the past two days, he can be on an equal footing.

Just now...... He couldn't laugh, these were all his own soldiers.

It's not that he loves soldiers like a son, it's just that there is an unspoken rule in the barracks, that is, whoever has more soldiers and more generals will have the right to speak. But now it seems that this time, he is going to break his muscles and bones, and after Li Ye leaves, if Yuwen Ye prepares to settle accounts after the autumn, he will probably not be able to survive in Xijiang City.

And Zhao Qianchi, who was beside him, couldn't laugh at this time. Although it is said that it is still Li Linfeng's troops who are on the battlefield now, but the distance between his own troops and Li Linfeng's troops is only one phalanx, and if there are heavy losses in the front, the next thing is to go up with his own troops.

Soon, just as he expected, after many soldiers were consumed, after the front of his own army was filled, his own army was filled in. At a distance of several hundred meters, it has already become a battlefield, and every step forward of the Southern Tang soldiers on it is extremely tragic. On the road of a few hundred meters, there are more than a few hundred corpses thrown down, which is simply impossible in an ordinary encounter, and this is not counting the number of wounded.

The most important thing is that these soldiers are all carefully trained and born from the survival of the fittest countless times, but what Western Qin kills them now is just ordinary arrows.

At this time, the front wheels of a siege vehicle got stuck in a trench.

Several Southern Tang soldiers didn't think about it, they jumped down directly, and then, there were a few screams. At the bottom of these trenches, there were sharpened wooden stakes, and these soldiers jumped on them and were directly penetrated. After seeing this scene, the soldiers behind also learned to be obedient, slowly climbed down from the outside, tied the wheels, and then pulled, pulled, pushed, and pushed, and finally lifted the wheels under the combined force.

But some of the soldiers knew, and the soldiers who came up from behind didn't know, that twenty or thirty people in a company had been hit, and suddenly, a wail sounded under the city wall.

When Wang Meng saw this scene, he also sighed in his heart. These trenches were all prepared for cavalry, and the weight of the infantry was simply not enough to crush the covering on them, unless it was the well-armed Modao soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

However, the value of the pit Mo sword soldiers is much higher than the value of the pit cavalry, and now that I have pitted a few infantry, I always feel that I have lost a little.

"Give me all rockets and aim at ordinary infantry. At this time, Qin Shuang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

The archers on the city wall were stunned, even if they used rockets in the past, the target was the opponent's cavalry, or even the opponent's siege equipment, or grain and grass, after all, the production cost of rockets is not cheap, and it is a waste to deal with low-value units such as infantry.

"Let you use it, you will use it!" Wang Meng scolded directly. At this time, he is already ready to completely delegate power, even if this battle fails, he has a super powerful backstabber, isn't it?

The flaming arrows directly made the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty completely panicked, and many people were originally dragging the siege vehicles out of the pit in an orderly manner, but after this burst of rockets, most of them panicked. After all, this fire didn't burn to anyone's body, and the strong army that dared to break through even if it was a sword mountain and a sea of fire before was completely chaotic at this time, and many people fell into the deep pit at this time, and then were pierced by the wooden stakes below.

After seeing this scene, Li Ye's face was also a little uncalm, after all, just now, he had seen a lot of soldiers dying in chaos.

Although such casualties are extremely deplorable, they are also unavoidable. With the waving of the flag, all the soldiers immediately looked like liberated prisoners, and many of them ran back without even caring about their own weapons. It's a little better, that is, remember to hold your own weapons, and as for siege vehicles, what is it? Does it have anything to do with you?

When Li Ye saw this scene, he almost jumped to his feet in anger, after all, he was attacked by Wang Hunt once, and there was not a lot of wood in the first place, and it was extremely difficult to make up these siege vehicles. It's just being left here now, it's really ...... But he also knew that he could never blame these soldiers.

But he knew that he couldn't, it didn't mean that someone knew that he couldn't, the eldest grandson Cunxiao directly pointed at the noses of Li Linfeng and Zhao Qianchi and scolded, "How did you two waste bring the soldiers?

Although Li Linfeng and Zhao Qianchi wanted to satirize the eldest grandson Cunxiao, the Modao battalion in the hands of the eldest grandson Cunxiao was one of the few trump card troops now, and it was an unacceptable sin, so they pinched their noses and endured it.

After all, the losses in siege warfare have always been extremely severe, and these losses are still within an acceptable range. They are also now wondering if Li Ye deliberately lost the three Xiongguan back then, if the three Xiongguan were all this kind of battle damage, how did Guang Linjun do it back then? These guys who defend the city are too vegetable.

"Reorganize the troops, and some of the incomplete establishments will be abolished directly. Li Ye's face was cold, "Three hours later, prepare to attack the city again." ”

"Your Royal Highness, such a short period of time...... I'm afraid that the morale of the soldiers has just been hit hard, and it is not appropriate to march again at this time. Li Linfeng gritted his teeth and said, "The last general has the courage to suggest that the attack be postponed for two days and wait until the siege equipment in the rear is sent over." ”

He knew that the supplies in the rear would not be delivered in a few days, so in his opinion, there was no need to use human lives to fill them.

"You can wait, and so can our enemies. When the Western Qin thieves have all mobilized their supplies, we will attack again. At that time, we will not face these arrows with fire oil, but barrels and barrels of fire oil. Li Ye's face turned cold, "And it won't be long before there will be chaos within Western Qin, and when this king left, he also had a little backhand." ”

Zhao Qianchi pulled Li Linfeng at this time and said, "The White Fang Guard is gone, and the team of sappers has also disappeared. ”

Li Linfeng instantly understood, this White Fang Guard can be said to be the strongest army in the hands of Prince Li Ye, and there is no problem at all if one person picks them out and beats them four or five elites. At this time, the White Fang Guard is no longer by Li Ye's side, so there is only one possibility, that is, this army is going to carry out some extremely special tasks, and these tasks are very likely to be related to the next city breakdown.

Coupled with what Li Ye said just now, this Prince Li Ye is very hidden, and he may have started to arrange it a long time ago, but it was only now revealed that it was revealed.

At this time, a leader of the White Fang Guard walked to Li Ye's side, leaned over, and whispered a few words, after listening to these words, Li Ye's face became extremely ugly, "How many tunnels have been collapsed?"

"Eight have been determined to have collapsed by man, three are uncertain, and the other dozen tunnels have collapsed naturally. "The number of tunnels left is not much, but as long as we pile up the number of people and create chaos, it is nothing." ”

Li Ye also knew what Bai Hechuan meant, that is, since there are not enough chaotic places, then just let the chaos be big enough. However, there are a few tunnels that have collapsed, which makes people a little suspicious, after all, will Xiqin discover these tunnels and then collapse? If so, will other tunnels have been discovered, but have not collapsed?

"It has been confirmed that the time for the collapse of these tunnels ranges from three months to a week, and it seems that the people of Western Qin have only recently discovered the tunnels. Bai Hechuan said, "The other tunnels should not have been discovered yet." ”

Li Ye naturally believed in Bai Hechuan's judgment, because the sappers under his command were professional in digging soil, and their judgments were extremely accurate when the soil quality had been passed, new and old. Since Xi Qin was only discovered recently, it was almost as he expected. His own intelligence had also shown that Western Qin was only symbolically stationed troops in the three Xiongguan, so it was impossible to have the opportunity to explore the tunnels on a large scale. Thinking of this, he looked at the eldest grandson Cunxiao and said, "Your Modao battalion is also an elite, so let's act with the White Fang Guards of Hechuan, and let the Western Qin people see how powerful our Southern Tang soldiers are." ”

The eldest grandson Cunxiao was confused, he was originally a person who was not good at using his brain, and now the communication between Li Ye and Bai Hechuan directly confused him.

Bai Hechuan's gaze at the eldest grandson Cunxiao was not very pleasant, looking at the eldest grandson Cunxiao like a goose, he was too lazy to explain. After all, in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty military system, it is impossible to have an army that looks very cool to the Modao Army, especially the elite army.

No matter how elite your ordinary army is, the military salary is still issued through the military department, but unlike the Modao Army, their military salaries are all issued from the inner treasury, that is, the emperor's private money. The reason is simple, the commander of this army will always be only one person, and that is the emperor.

But it is precisely because of this that the commanders of these armies are extremely comfortable, after all, His Majesty the Emperor is busy with government affairs every day, and it is impossible to lead the troops, so these low-level generals and high-level generals are basically the kind of dictatorship in the army. In the other armies, the neighboring departments still dare to take care of it, but when it is put on the Modao Battalion, it is not the third level of the official university, and they really dare not take care of it.

And even if it is really a third-level official, many people are unwilling to care, after all, a crime that intends to get involved in His Majesty the Emperor's army is not a small crime at all.

Li Ye naturally saw that his subordinates were unhappy, but he also knew that at this time, there were not many ace troops that could be sent out in his hands, and it was only this one in the hands of the eldest grandson Cunxiao. Now going out is to grab territory, if it is not elite, sending it is to cut leeks for others.

Although it is said that there are not many elites prepared by his subordinates this time, how much water is in these elites, it can only be said that he knows it. Among these elites, compared to those waste city defenders, they are relatively capable of fighting, that is, they are relatively capable of fighting, and for him, they are just useful.

"I left these tunnels decades ago in preparation for a counteroffensive. Li Ye coughed and said, "Now, when I use these tunnels, I need a group of elites to go and directly help me tear a gap in the interior of Xiqin." ”

The eldest grandson Cunxiao's face became extremely stiff, it turned out that he had been doing it for a long time, and he was going to send an army to create chaos in Tianfeng City, and the most important point was that the strength of this army could not be too vegetable, if one of them would be annihilated by the other party, it would not be enough for the soldiers outside to carry out siege operations. Looking at the entire Southern Tang Army, it is estimated that only the Modao Army in his hands and the White Fang Guard in Bai Hechuan's hands have this ability.

The difficulty of this task is not small, and the team that enters is likely to suffer heavy losses, but if the siege is successful, then all the participants can be added to the ranks. This kind of opportunity, it seems, is not much...... Although it is said in the Southern Tang Army that every time it will be credited, who the first merit is is determined by the commander-in-chief. The only thing the chief officer said didn't count, it was this kind of surprise attack,

"So that's the kind of thing, leave it to me. I personally led the troops into battle. The eldest grandson Cunxiao thought about it for a while and said. Although several of the generals under his command are all relatives of the emperor, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the Modao camp, but these relatives of the emperor are all marginalized figures, if it is not forced by life, who wants to lick the blood from the knife?

"Then there is General Lao Changsun. Li Ye also spoke very politely, it stands to reason that he is a prince, so he doesn't need to be so polite to the people below, but who makes this different. After all, the other party is the Mo Dao Army, and the Mo Dao Army is his father's army, so it's okay not to give face to anyone, but you can't help but give face to your old man.

"But I have a request. Just when Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, the eldest grandson Cunxiao suddenly said.

"You say. Li Ye's face was also tight, after all, if at this time, the eldest grandson Cunxiao was robbing by fire, then he could only endure it. As for the settlement of accounts after the autumn, this possibility is still very small, after all, at that time, the eldest grandson Cunxiao may have been a hero, and he made several moves in the position of the Modao Army, and he is a prince, and he may not be able to move him, a powerful general.

"Our Modao Army has a special military formation, so we are not good at cooperating with others. The eldest grandson, Cunxiao, glanced at Baihechuan. This guy didn't feel good about himself before, but he didn't know that he didn't look at this guy very well, and at this time, he didn't mind giving the other party eye medicine.

"This ......" Li Ye looked at Bai Hechuan.

"It's better for General Bai to divide three tunnels into us, and then divide three guards to lead the way. The eldest grandson Cunxiao said, "We are responsible for the three passages." ”

Bai Hechuan's face changed wildly, what are you kidding, when the troops are not enough, he still does this. The remaining 20 or so tunnels are all to be filled by the White Fangs? How is this possible?

Although the White Fang Guard is said to be a little more than the number of the Mo Sword Army, but the number is also limited, if it is really divided like this, it will be divided into each tunnel, and there will be less than a hundred people, what can these people do?

However, he still quickly thought of a solution, and said directly, "Your Highness, the White Fang Guard under the last general is in charge of the five caves, and as for the rest of the people and caves, please leave your Highness to the others." ”

The meaning of the White River River is very obvious, that is, as long as these eight tunnels are opened, the rest of the tunnels will be empty, in order to create chaos inside. As for wanting to maintain this chaos, the best way is to not have enough quality of soldiers, and fill it with quantity.

Li Ye thought about it, and finally decided to agree to this request, after all, this Bai Hechuan was also a more important henchman under him, and he was really reluctant to let him directly confess to the Tianfeng Pass in Western Qin. Of course, the most crucial point is that he believes that the loss of other people is irrelevant, but the loss of the White Fang means that he has lost an elite army due to his own injury.

Soldiers are not expensive, and this is the dogma he believes. This is also why he would choose so many elites to attack Xiqin, if it is an ordinary soldier, let alone more than 100,000, even if it is 300,000, Li Ye believes that as long as he raises his arms, then within three days, he can get it together.

At this time, the city gate of Xiqin was actually opened, and at the same time as the military flag of Xiqin was planted on the ground, a few barrels of fire oil were poured directly on the siege vehicle, and the next second, a fire was ignited on the siege vehicle.

Although Li Ye was a little distressed, he still had basic reason, and he didn't ask his soldiers to grab it back. But even so, the fire in the distance still made him extremely heartbroken. And those military flags planted on the ground can be described in two words, that is, arrogance.

"Yuwen Ye, who is the guard of Western Qin now?" Li Ye asked as he forcibly suppressed his anger. I must cut off this person's head and hang it on the plaque of Tianfeng City for seven days and seven nights, which is enough to relieve hatred.

"Now the guard here is probably Wang Meng of the Western Qin royal family, and this guy is also a fierce general. Yu Wenye touched his chin and said, "This guy is just brave in battle, I have never heard of him being good at wisdom, this time whether it is creating chaos or psychological warfare, it is not like his style." ”

"What do you mean?" I don't know why, Li Ye suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.

"The defenders of Tianfeng City may have successfully changed their commanders without the knowledge of our intelligence agencies. And this person is likely to be someone who knows the tactics of our side, and if he has him, it will not be difficult for us to win here. ”。

Li Ye also understood the meaning of his subordinate, Captain Langya was not stupid, it was impossible to change the commander in battle, and the one who was replaced by one with worse strength and ability, this person must have been carefully considered according to the actual situation of their Southern Tang Dynasty, there is such a person, if you want to successfully win the Tianfeng Pass, it is really not a simple matter, and the next step is to see if the White Fangwei and the Modao Battalion can open the gap.

Yu Wenye was completely unimpressed by Li Ye's nervousness, just now, he had already received a report from his subordinates, and he knew the authentic things. For Li Ye's way of marching, Yu Wenye was also a little speechless.
