Chapter 209 Raiders Fly to Capture Dengzhou City

"Brother, look, they are coming, there are so many warships!" On the bow, Zhou Chuyun held the binoculars and looked into the distance, then handed the binoculars to Gu Sanmazi and said.

"Don't tell me, although these guys are rebels, they have served in the imperial army after all. These soldiers are much better than ours." Gu Sanmazi looked at the warship approaching in the distance with a binoculars, his face showing With a trace of dignity, he said: "No wonder the general asked you and me to run as hard as we can. Tsk tsk, there are so many three-masted gunboats, and so many lucky boats. It is really difficult to fight! I, Gu San Mazi has also fought many battles before, but he has never seen so many warships. Tsk tsk, let’s go, let’s go quickly! If you can’t fight, aren’t you allowed to run?” Immediately, he quickly commanded the warships to retreat.

"If you want to run, it really is a pirate's style." On the flagship in the hands of the rebels, Su Yougong could see clearly, and felt even more relaxed.The navy of the imperial court would not behave like this. Even if they couldn't beat them, they still had to try it out, because they didn't care about the loss of soldiers and horses or the damage of warships.No matter how many people die, it’s enough to recruit, destroy more warships, and then build new ones. Only pirates will be so careful, whether it’s warships or soldiers. That's right, it's all the same.If there was still a sliver of doubt and worry before, it is different now. This group of pirates can boldly chase and kill them with confidence.

"Such military exploits can be used to ward off Mao Xiaohai's death." Su Yougong was secretly proud of himself.I am also glad that the decision I made was very wise.It turned out that after he went back, he summoned troops and left a small number of people to defend Changshan Island. After that, he almost dispatched all his troops to deal with this pirate.On the one hand, he really wanted to exterminate this group of pirates, but on the other hand, he did it for Mao Chenglu to see, look, in order to avenge your son, I sent all the soldiers and horses out, so hard, you should not blame it Me!
"This band of thieves still looks very cunning, but no matter how cunning you are, you're still a thieves." Su Yougong looked at Fu Chuan in front of him with a hint of disdain on his face.

But what he didn't know was that at some point in the east of Changshan Island, a larger fleet appeared. This fleet slowly approached, but in front of it were walking boats. Hundreds or dozens of soldiers, these soldiers rushed to the small islands along the way, or on the reefs, constantly devouring the defenses around Changshan Island, eliminating these hidden piles.So that large forces can directly attack the coast of Dengzhou.

"General, there are more than 100 people stationed on the Dengzhou pier. I don't know what the general is going to do?" On the deck, Sun Yinglong, Zhang Wu and others surrounded Li Xin and asked nervously.It is a bold plan to let go of Changshan Island and directly attack Dengzhou. Let alone whether it will succeed, if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Of course it's a disguise." Li Xinxin was very relaxed, pointing to Zhang Wu and said: "Although these people are rebels, they are also the army of the imperial court. I think you know what these people look like. For a moment, just leave a lucky boat with their battle flag flying, and just drive over there."

"It's so simple." Sun Yinglong and Zhang Wu looked at each other, with a hint of worry on their faces.

"It's that simple." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "According to the captured soldiers, the traitor Su Yougong has a soldier commander who looks a bit like you, so you can pretend to be that soldier. We are Su Yougong." You are sent here to escort you, and they are going to enter Dengzhou City to tell Mao Chenglu an important matter. Presumably they will not suspect that with Changshan Island over there, who would dare to take such a big courage to seek death."

"Although it's a little risky, it's still worth it. The possibility of success is relatively high." Zhang Cai on the side had to admit that there was still a possibility of Li Xin's success.

"Look, even Mr. Zhang agrees, what else do you have to say?" Li Xin felt a little happy after hearing Zhang Cai's words. Things won't be long.

"Since the general has made a decision, the last general just waits to implement it resolutely." Sun Yinglong thought for a moment, and also thought that the possibility of success in this kind of thing was relatively high, so he nodded immediately.

"General Sun, since you have agreed, you will lead the army to respond. According to our current speed, when we arrive at the pier, it will be already night. After killing the soldiers on the pier, you must rush to Dengzhou quickly. Under the city, there must be no mistakes." Li Xin said solemnly.

"Don't worry, General, Phi Island will not embarrass you." At this moment, Sun Yinglong suddenly felt the blood boil in his heart. This feeling has not erupted for a long time. Maybe soldiers should feel this way. Of course, this is also because of winning the battle. Or because of the upcoming victory.Sun Yinglong thought in his heart.

"Okay, now that the discussion is complete, let's go." Li Xin nodded.

At present, nearly a thousand warships were slowly heading towards Dengzhou Wharf. Before him, Li Xin, Zhang Wu and others led a lucky boat and sailed towards Dengzhou Wharf.

"This is the Dengzhou Wharf?" Li Xin looked at the Dengzhou Wharf in surprise. The Dengzhou Wharf can be regarded as the most expensive water port in the north. But the pier was in a state of depression, with only a few large ships moored at the pier, most of which were tank boats.

"Who's that in front? Stop?" As soon as they got on the Dengzhou pier, they saw a general leading a dozen people coming over. These people were dressed casually, with a long knife hanging crookedly on their waists. The leader, General Manager, has a ruffian face, and walks crookedly. He looks like a hooligan, and he doesn't look like a soldier.

"Deputy General Su is under the command of General Su. I need to see the commander-in-chief. Which general are you under?" Zhang Wu looked gloomy, stepped forward, and asked coldly, looking at the general.

"Under General Su?" The general's complexion changed, his eyes rolled, he thought carefully about General Su, and finally suddenly remembered that this General Su was the deputy general of Changshan Island, Su Yougong, and his complexion changed a lot. Even the standing posture has changed a lot, and he arched his hands towards Zhang Wu, and said: "I don't know how to call this brother, brother, I defend the pier, it is the commander's fault, there are some things, hehe, brother, I think you must also Just know."

"Hmph, a small general is actually so arrogant." Zhang Wu sneered, "You don't have to bring me up to arrest me. I am Su Ming, a soldier under General Su's command. Seeing the commander-in-chief, hehe, if you are sensible, get out of the way, otherwise, if you are a moment late, I am afraid your head will be lost. You must know that when the soldiers are in a rage, anyone will be in trouble. Humph , To tell you the truth, don’t mess with me, if you mess with me, I’ll kill you guys before I die.”

"Don't, don't, brother, you have something to say, something to say." After hearing Zhang Wu's words, the boss changed his expression, and asked slightly nervously: "Isn't it just to send a letter? Is it necessary? I let You go, let you go." Thinking about Zhang Wu's murderous aura, he crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, so how can such a ruffian-like soldier be able to resist.

"Hey, it's fine if you send a message. Go, call the brothers, I have to tell you something, be careful during this time." Zhang Wu glanced at the general manager, his eyes rolled, and in the general manager's ear Bian said softly: "The major general has been killed, I'm going to report it."

"Ah! Major General?" The boss jumped up after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Wu with surprised eyes, but he didn't want the other party to come out with this news. No wonder he said that he might be killed if he reported the letter.Thinking of Mao Chenglu's temper, once he talked about this matter, if he got angry, he might really kill everyone.

"Let's go! Call the brothers, I'll tell you something." Zhang Wu pretended to be bitter, and said, "It's a good thing for me to do before I die! Anyway, we are all brothers."

"Okay, okay." The general manager glanced at everyone behind Zhang Wu, and sighed in his heart when he saw that everyone was expressionless.Although he was surprised that everyone was fully armed, but in front of the fact that Mao Xiaohai was killed, he quickly forgot about it.

"Zhang Wu, I didn't expect you to be really good." Among the crowd, Li Xin looked at the dead bodies lying on the ground, shook his head, nodded to Zhang Wu approvingly and said, "Just follow your cleverness." Jin, to be my bodyguard is too much talent. After going back this time, report to Yang Xiong!"

"My lord, the last general is still willing to stay by my lord's side." Zhang Wu said without thinking.

"What's the use of staying by my side? To be the head of the guard?" Li Xin shook his head and said, "As a man, you have to seal your wife and son, and you should command thousands of troops. It's a waste of talent for you to be the head of the guard. You should go to lead the army." Fight? Lay a big territory for me, Li Xin."

"If my lord wants to be a subordinate, I am willing to serve as a soldier under General Jiang Yi." Seeing Li Xin's resoluteness, Zhang Wu said after thinking about it.

"Oh, why do you want to go under the command of General Jiang Yi? Yang Xiong is a famous general in our army. I see that you have some strategies and are good at using surprise soldiers. You can learn a lot under the command of General Yang Xiong." Li Xin asked curiously .

"Adrenaline soldiers are insurmountable soldiers. Although most battles can be won, if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. Once you are seen through, you may be defeated. Especially when you meet a soldier like General Jiang Yi. Maybe in a short time, General Jiang Yi will be in a weak position, but if the stalemate continues for a long time, General Jiang Yi will definitely win in the end, so the last general wants to learn something from General Jiang Yi." Zhang Wu thought for a while and said.

"Oh, you actually have such insight?" Li Xin looked at Zhang Wu in surprise, but never thought that Zhang Wu had such insight.Jiang Yi and Yang Xiong are two generals under his command, and no one knows them better than him.The personalities of the two determine that the use of soldiers by the two is completely different.Jiang Yi has a calm personality, while Yang Xiong has a detached personality.Jiang Yi likes to use troops to overwhelm people, and he pays attention to the upright army to defeat the opponent, while Yang Xiong likes to use the sword to take the lead and is good at using strange.There are various ways of fighting.

In fact, it cannot be said which method of using troops is better.One thing Zhang Wu said is correct, that is, in the same war, Jiang Yi may lose dozens of games, but as long as he perseveres to the end, he will definitely win in the end.But Yang Xiong is different, he pays attention to one-hit kills, maybe he can win in a short time, but once the battle lasts, he will definitely be mastered by the opponent's marching strategy, easily plotted by the opponent, leading to the defeat of the whole army.This is also the reason why Li Xin will let Jiang Yi take charge of the overall situation once he goes out by himself.

Zhang Wu has a clever personality, which is similar to Yang Xiong, but he can recognize his own shortcomings, which is not easy, so he asked to join Jiang Yi's team, just to learn more.

"Hey, it's just a wild guess." Zhang Wu rubbed his head and said.

"It's pretty good that you have such insight. When you return to the grassland this time, you will join Jiang Yi as a guerrilla general! Take it step by step, and sooner or later you will be able to be alone." Li Xin nodded, feeling extremely happy in his heart. It is naturally a good thing that the talents under him continue to emerge.

"My subordinate thanked the lord for cultivation." Zhang Wu was overjoyed and said quickly.

"It's also fortunate that there is no one here, otherwise, if there is any movement on our side, the enemy will know." Li Xin glanced around and sighed: "The rebels are the rebels, especially the rebels who want to join Jiannu , They don't care about any big family. What they want is gold and silver treasures. Now I don't know what the situation in Dengzhou city will be like." Although they have not yet entered Dengzhou, it is easy to imagine that now I am afraid that Dengzhou is not the former Dengzhou.Dengzhou is close to the sea, and the transportation is convenient. I don’t know how many wealthy households live in Dengzhou City. In the past, the rebels might still want to get something from these wealthy households. In addition, these wealthy households also have various relationships. Naturally, the rebels did not dare to offend.But it's different now, Kong Youde and others wanted to seek refuge in Jiannu, so they naturally ignored the situation of the wealthy households in Dengzhou City, and plundering money was the most important thing.This also means that the wealthy households in Dengzhou City no longer have any protection, even for the wealthy households, let alone those ordinary people.

"General, there is a signal from the pier." At this time, personal guards broke in, and Li Xin and others also went up to the pier. As expected, they saw torches moving in the distance, which also showed that Sun Yinglong and the others had arrived.

"Send the signal, let's go now." Li Xin told Zhang Wu.

"Yes." Zhang Wu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly ordered someone to send out a signal, but he himself escorted Li Xin and headed towards Dengzhou City.There was also a trace of solemnity on everyone's faces. After all, it was difficult for 50 people to fraudulently open Dengzhou City. What's more, the most important thing was to guard the city gate before Sun Yinglong arrived.Although these people crawled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, everyone must be careful when performing this task with Li Xin at this moment.

"Who is coming? The city gate has been locked, come back tomorrow!" By the time everyone arrived at the foot of Dengzhou City, the city gate had already been closed, and the sound of horseshoes had already awakened the defenders on the top of the city.A boss stuck out his head and said loudly.

"Changshan Island Deputy General Su Yougong's personal soldiers have something important to enter the city to meet the army gate, and open the city gate quickly." Zhang Wu didn't care, and saw the token in his hand thrown towards the top of the city.

"Brothers below, the city gate has been locked, you should stay here, wait outside the city overnight! It's not too late to see the military gate tomorrow." Mr. Qian glanced at the token in his hand, it was Changshan Island The token issued, plus the belief that it is close to the sea and protected by Changshan Island outside, it is impossible for an army to attack here, so I immediately believed that the army below was my friendly army, so my tone was good Not a lot.

"Young Army Gate went out to sea to suppress bandits, and fell into the enemy's trick. I'm waiting for the order of General Su to report, and you still haven't opened the city gate. If something happens to the Major General, are you drunk?" Zhang Wu Said loudly.

"The major general is in danger, what should I do?" As soon as Zhang Wu finished speaking, there was a sudden panic on the top of the city. If it was something else, it would be natural for these people to wait outside for a longer period of time, but it is different now. Xiaohai was in danger, and if he wasted a little time here, Mao Xiaohai's life might be in danger. If Mao Xiaohai was in danger because of them, according to Mao Chenglu's temper, these people would definitely be unlucky.

"Mr. Qian, let's open the city gate! We can't afford to delay this matter!"

"That's right, Mr. Qian Zong, these people came from the sea, who else will get rid of our brothers at sea?"

"Just a few dozen people, can they still go to heaven?"

Everyone on the top of the city also persuaded.There was a hint of hesitation on Mr. Qian's face. It was very important for him to guard the city gate. After nightfall, he could not easily open the city gate.But if the city gate is not opened, Mao Xiaohai will lose his head if something happens to him in the future.

"Open." Thinking of this, Mr. Qian still thought that saving his life was the priority, so he hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate.

"My lord, the city gate is open." There was a creaking sound, and the heavy Dengzhou east gate was slowly opened.

"Rush in, kill in." When the city gate was half opened, Li Xin's eyes lit up, a cold light flashed, and he saw the long knife flying in his hand, and he was the first to rush into Dengzhou City.

The rebels who opened the city gate never expected that what greeted them was not the smiles of friendly soldiers, but the blades of the enemy. Under Li Xin's long sword, with the speed of the horses, he cut off the heads of the three soldiers on the left and right. Behind him, Zhang Wu also rushed in with his elite men, slashed and killed them, and occupied the city gate in an instant.

"Enemy attack, hurry up, hurry up the city gate." The screams at the gate of the city soon woke up the defenders on the top of the city, and they made a series of shrill voices, and the patrolling soldiers also came to kill one after another. Under the leadership of a general, the city gate is about to be recaptured.
