When the three-day period arrived, heavy fog arose during the day, and the pirate fleet sailed into the Dagu River again. Naturally, Wu Shiming's ship was at the forefront.
"Oh..., Your Majesty! Why don't we choose to fight again tomorrow? It's too peaceful tonight!"
Ouyang Kai had to obey Wu Shiming after losing his son. He was just a think tank in the gang.
There were only a few people's bonfires lit on the shore, and not a single boat was seen on the Dagu River, let alone reinforcements arriving in Jiaoxi. If anything goes wrong, there must be monsters, but this group of people wanted revenge, so they just sent people to explore. There are some clues, and I don’t know what kind of tricks the official family will have.
"What I want is to succeed in one fell swoop. There are only a few thousand people in the city, but we have more than 30,000 people here. It's easy to go straight to Jiaoxi!"
Wu Shiming, still wearing the opera robe, stood on the bow of the boat and looked at Jiaoxi, which was gradually emerging. That was where Zhao Gou was hiding. Even if the pirates could not attack the city, they could march straight into places with rivers.
Jiaoxi is surrounded by the Dagu River. It is not easy for 3,000 people to defend it. In addition, with the withdrawal of the people, Jiaoxi will only be occupied by pirates tonight. The ships are parallel and come to the shallow water. They can only Let people go over first, but the boats on the river don't move at all.
"They are waiting for someone to set an example first!"
Ouyang Kai revealed the evil thoughts of the gang and kept saying that he would make Wu Shiming, the leader of the thieves, the emperor. But when it came time to march, no one was willing to move forward, because this was a life-threatening business, and everyone cherished their lives. .
The reason why pirates can travel unimpeded in the South China Sea is not only because of the boldness of skilled people, but also because merchant ships are profitable, and even if someone dies, there will be money to settle down. The pirates now parked on the Dagu River are afraid of failure. Aren't all these ships? Most of the things belonging to the three pirates were robbed by themselves. If they were compensated, they would really have nothing.
"I accept your order!"
Liang Erdi immediately asked people to paddle at full speed, hoisting the flag of "Liang", and the three large boats headed for the dock in Jiaoxi. There were really no obstacles along the way. Some people went into the water to visit and there were no iron locks blocking the river. Only the stone pillars on the shore were standing there. pile of rocks.
A rocket streaked across the night sky and landed directly in front of Wu Shiming's ship. This was a coded signal among the pirates, indicating that they could sail directly into the Dagu River and reach the dock in Jiaoxi.
The sound of drums spread from the Dagu River to the surrounding areas. It was the same formation as the countless looting fleets. However, this time it was to completely advance the Li Tang Imperial Court and to split Lingnan as the territory of the Wu family. Most of the pirate gangs were for important reasons. Just a benefit.
After that, all the ships entered the Dagu River in an orderly manner. The piles of stones were on both sides of the fleet. Before closing the city gate in the afternoon, Qin Zaiming led 2,500 people out of the city. The remaining people protected those who did not want to leave. Li Ke.
Dong Dong Dong... The sound of drums never stopped, like the force of clouds and thunder, but there was still no movement on the shore. The pirates knew that there was no possibility of ambushing the big ship along the river. One was on the shore and the other was in the water. In the center, 2,500 people were unable to stop the 30,000-strong pirate army. Just look at who took Zhao Gou's head.
Wu Shiming had already offered a reward of 5,000 gold for the head, but if the imperial court pursued him later, what could the tens of thousands of pirates do? Even if Fang La divided Jiangnan, they were still wiped out.
"Light the fire! Put~!"
When Qin Zaiming saw the last ship passing through the pile of stones, he immediately asked people to shoot rockets towards the other side. The first arrow passed over the fleet and then fell into the water. After hearing the laughter of the pirates, he still carried out the official's order.
The stone piles are spread for dozens of miles on both sides of the bank, almost becoming two sides of the Great Wall. After Shi Gandang's memorial tablet was removed, there was a place inside that could accommodate a wine jar. There were people guarding the stone piles, but You have to wait for Qin Zaiming's instructions before you can do anything.
Opening the wine jar and throwing sparks into it, the soldiers immediately ran away, boom~! ! !
Loud noises were made from the shore, and some sparks were also seen, but they disappeared quickly, and people on both sides of the river could detect the so-called vibration, like firecrackers.
"Little tricks!"
Liang Erdi stood on the deck and looked at the still dark opposite bank, and then motioned for everyone to continue entering the Dagu River Basin, not thinking it was useful at all.
Ah~! Screams came, people fell to the ground, the smell of blood spread on the ship, and dozens of holes were smashed out of the ship's planks...
Liang Erdi lost half of her head. The stone smashed her head, leaving only half of her mouth. It was still dark and there were unknown attacks, killing more than arrows. Almost everyone wanted to hide below the deck, waiting for the stone. The rain stopped.
Ouyang Kai suffered some injuries and was helped into the cabin. Only then did they discover that several large holes had been blown out of the hull. What kind of thing caused it? The boats all moved forward by oars. After the hull was smashed open, the boatmen were unwilling to wait inside, so all the boats stopped on the river.
Boom~, there was another loud noise, and then I saw Liang Erdi's ship sinking. The waves hit every broken ship. No one knows what happened yet.
Until a stone smashed a living person to death, everyone just knew that the stone hit the ship. I don’t know what kind of force drove thousands of stones to fly into the air and fly towards the fleet. Could it be the work of the gods in Shi Gandang?
"It's a pity that I couldn't see the scene of rocks piercing the sky up close, so good!!"
The crazy Taoist priest stood on the water village and only heard the sound coming from far away, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The official used the gunpowder he mixed to blast away the stones, and the stones flew into the Dagu River, catching the pirate fleet off guard. The gunpowder was originally used to fill fireworks and firecrackers, and then set off at night to create a different kind of beauty. , now it has become a weapon used to kill people.
Li Ke glanced at the mad Taoist priest and realized that the things in the morgue could also be used in war. Since people started using weapons, the means of killing people and attacking cities have become more and more efficient. Before, he had to use all the fireworks and firecrackers in Lin'an City to blow up the palace, but The gunpowder prepared this time was just a wine jar, and it could collapse city walls and cause rocks to fly.
"Turn around, turn around quickly!!!"
After more than half of the casualties were lost, the pirates thought of withdrawing from the Dagu River. They thought they could exit the battlefield by returning to the original route, but the last row of boats had sunk and there was no way back.
The fleet was unable to advance or retreat. There were dozens of miles of piles of rocks on both sides of the river. The bombing was still going on. Sparks kept flashing in the dark night, like meteors falling to the ground, only taking away countless lives.
The people heard the screams coming from the Dagu River. Even though they usually benefited from the pirates, they now had to be afraid of the officials in Jiaoxi. They just waited and watched, otherwise they would only be implicated.
The bombing gradually decreased. Li Ke touched the sword on his waist, and then walked towards the crazy Taoist priest. He immediately kicked up to separate the distance between them.
"When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, but the lackeys are cooked!"
This was one of the few truths that allowed the mad Taoist priest to see the face of the emperor.
