East Poison Island.
The formation of this small island is related to the rise of Weihai many years ago. The name may sound sinister, but it is not.
The terrain of this island is not only relatively flat, but also has excellent scenery. The pirates even built many houses here and robbed some women. When they were short of supplies, they would go out to the coastal areas and rob passing ships.
Recently, it has become more and more rampant, committing crimes in the country's waters and burning and killing fishermen.
At this time, on the island, pirate leader Ji Chenggang was snoring loudly with his mouth open. An empty wine jar was rolling down on the ground. He was obviously hungover from last night.
"What a disaster! What a disaster!!"
A minion ran in in a panic. Seeing that Ji Chenggang was still snoring, he hurriedly ran to the bed and shook his arm vigorously: "Oh no, boss! There is a Qin army! There is a Qin army at sea. !”
After a while, someone was quarreling while he was sleeping. Ji Chenggang couldn't help but feel a little angry. He waved his arm and opened the door, and said in a sleepy voice: "What the hell, don't disturb my sleep!"
As he spoke, he squeaked back, turned over and continued to snore, showing no intention of getting up.
Seeing this, the little guy was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, he shook his head again and said: "It's the Qin Army! The Qin Army is coming to kill you, the boss!!"
"What!?"
He hadn't woken up before and was half asleep. This time, Ji Chenggang heard it clearly and was completely shocked out of his drowsiness. He sat up suddenly: "Where did the Qin army come from? How is it possible!"
Before he finished speaking, he got out of bed and walked out quickly.
The minions quickly followed, and at the same time, other pirates on the island gathered after hearing the news and rushed to the beach.
When Ji Cheng arrived, all the pirates had gathered, numbering about two hundred in number. The crowd made way for them and shouted:
"Brother."
"Big Boss"
"Is there really a Qin army?" Ji Chenggang asked nonsense, because when he came to the front, he looked up and could clearly see warships approaching on the sea.
No one answered this sentence. Instead, someone swallowed and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
"These warships are so tall. They are all members of the Qin Navy. They have experienced hundreds of battles. How can we resist them?"
"We have robbed so many things and killed people. The Qin army will definitely not let us go."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion, and everyone's faces showed expressions of fear.
Ji Chenggang was the same, his expression changing: "What else can we do? Our boats are behind us. Run quickly and find a new place to hide. We will wait until the storm is over."
"But, what about the women and property on the island?" someone asked.
"When the hell did it happen! Why do you care about this!" Ji Chenggang said angrily: "Women and property can be robbed again in the future! Run away! We can't stay on Dongdu Island anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to leave here, first walking quickly, and then running quickly.
The other pirates dispersed in a hurry, running as fast as they could. The place that was crowded just now suddenly became deserted.
In the sight of the pirates, there were only five warships approaching in front, and the other five were arranged by Xiao Yuan to bypass them.
After the warship approached here, its speed had slowed down. Looking at this scene, Chen Guan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Yuan understood what he meant: "No need to log in, let them run, and finally close the net."
"Understood!" Chen Guan responded and gestured to the messenger.
the other side.
The pirates not only had their own ships, but also robbed fishing boats and merchant ships, especially the large merchant ship that could carry many people.
Under the leadership of Ji Chenggang, most of the bandits boarded the merchant ships, while the rest followed closely in fishing boats.
But soon, someone came to report: "It's not good, boss! There are Qin troops intercepting us in front!"
"Then run in another direction! Quick! Go to the left!" Ji Chenggang was also panicking. He could rob merchant ships and fishermen, but when facing regular troops, he knew what he was doing.
The sailors gave the order and the merchant ship began to turn around.
Although the Qin army was suppressing bandits, they still formulated corresponding tactics.
Xiao Yuan had previously deployed two plans: if the pirates did not escape and resisted by occupying the island, they would land from the flank; if the pirates escaped, they would surround three and one, let them enter the place they should enter, and destroy them at sea.
A moment later, just when Ji Chenggang showed joy and felt that he was about to escape, warships came again on the sea, and this time they were in an absolute encirclement situation.
Ji Cheng's heart dropped again and again, and the other pirates became even more panicked: "Master, what should I do?"
"Why are Qin troops everywhere? It's over, it's over!"
The pirates were in a mess. In fact, the Qin army only had ten warships. However, these small broken ships were not comparable to the national military warships. They caught up with them after a little acceleration, so they gave the illusion that they were there in all directions.
At this time, as the warship approached, Xiao Yuan immediately ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
With an order, the soldiers who had been prepared bent their bows in unison.
A large number of sharp arrows shot out.
Plop, plop! The sound of arrows piercing flesh was heard one after another.
Some of the nails were driven into the water, splashing water, and some were nailed to various parts of the merchant ship, making constant crackling sounds, mixed with one after another miserable howls.
In just one round, a large number of pirates were shot over. Ji Chenggang, among others, was unable to dodge two arrows and fell to the deck.
"Surrender! We surrender-"
The screams of fear rang out, and the pirates had no room for resistance. They all turned pale with fright at this scene.
Xiao Yuan raised his right hand, and the sound of armor clashing was heard, and the soldiers on the warship drew back their bows.
"Everyone kneel down!"
A Qin general shouted loudly, and the surrounding warships surrounded him heavily.
The pirates didn't dare to hesitate. They fell to their knees one after another and kowtowed: "General, spare your life, general, spare your life."
While talking, the soldiers of the Qin army threw out ropes and hooked up the merchant ships.
What happened next was even simpler. The wooden planks were placed between the two ships, and Qin's soldiers began to jump into the opposite side. This was an elite navy. They walked on the ship as if they were on the ground, each one faster than the other, tying up the pirates. Including those on fishing boats.
"Be honest!" One of the pirates had his hands tied behind his back. He seemed to struggle a little, but he got a military punch and immediately became honest.
This bandit suppression went very smoothly without sacrificing any soldiers. This was the result that Xiao Yuan wanted to see most. After capturing these pirates, the Qin army returned to Dongdu Island. Under the guidance of some prisoners, the inspection station Hidden property and rescued some captive women. (End of chapter)
