Chen Zuyi's death exceeded Chen Erbao's expectations.
No one would have thought that in order to deal with his biological father, Chen Shiliang would poison the weapons. The sudden change of events forced Chen Erbao to change his plan and instead supported Chen Shiliang in his attack on Shuri Castle.
Regardless of the current situation, Chen Zuyi's firm idea of evacuation made Chen Erbao unable to shake it. Originally, he just wanted to delay it to buy time for the arrival of the Ming Navy. But now, Chen Zuyi is dead, and Chen Shiliang will not leave here.
In any case, the Navy has enough time, which is crucial to Zhu Yunwen's ultimate plan.
Chen Shiliang no longer trusted Chen Erbao, but he still needed his wisdom. After determining the strategy, Chen Shiliang immediately ordered: "Liu Ma will lead the team, with Chen Erbao as deputy, with 800 main troops and 200 prisoners, to attack Shuri City at night."
Not worried about this, Chen Shiliang promoted Hu Jiu and Zhang Qi and arranged: "The shipyard is of great importance. From today on, you two will help Chen Dabao manage the shipyard. Remember, I don't care what you use." The solution, within a week, I want all the ships to be destroyed!"
Hu Jiu and Zhang Qi are not fools. They understand that their real mission is to keep an eye on Chen Dabao. As rookies, they are naturally proactive.
Chen Erbao took a deep look at Chen Dabao, made a vague gesture, and then followed Liu Ma's team to board the ship, preparing to enter Shuri Castle.
At this time, Shuri City was still empty. After all, Shang Bashi was away on an expedition, but this emptiness was different from that of Wuning. Although Shang Sishao delegated power to Shang Bashi, he was by no means an incompetent person. Knowing the hearts and minds of the people is fundamental. When Shang Bazhi left, he issued a document in the name of the king, informing the people of Zhongshan Kingdom that Wu Ning was dead and that the excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes should be abolished.
Shang Sishao won the hearts and minds of the people, and naturally also won the manpower and city defense.
Chen Erbao knew that this was no longer the best time to attack Shuri Castle, but he also knew very well that this was the best time to weaken or even eliminate the main force of the Nanyang Pirates.
With only a few people, it is impossible to eliminate most of Chen Shiliang's elite.
If you can't do it yourself, find someone who can.
Liu Ma glanced at Chen Erbao beside him. This guy who betrayed Chen Shiliang should live to the end. As long as he breaks into Shuri City, he will cut off his head. This is Chen Shiliang's secret order.
Chen Erbao ignored Liu Ma's gaze, followed the boat ashore, and led the team to march quietly.
Shuri Castle is not far from the coastline, more than thirty miles.
Under the cover of night, the pirates are silent.
When they arrived five miles away from Shuri Castle, Chen Erbao panted and sat down to rest. Liu Ma was also very tired. She sat next to Chen Erbao and put the steel knife across his knees: "Erbao, you take the lead."
Chen Erbao chuckled: "Thank you very much, Brother Mazi. This surprise attack was a surprise. Looking at the weather, it was the time when the sergeants were sleepy and exhausted. I took the lead with my brothers and we will definitely be able to enter the city in one fell swoop. This is the first success, tsk." , I will share some of the benefits with you then."
Liu Ma suddenly became anxious, "I'll go, what Chen Erbao said makes sense, it's a surprise, maybe it's the first credit. I can hold my head high in front of Chen Shiliang in the future. If Chen Erbao takes the first credit, what does it mean?" How can a traitor take the lead?
Chen Erbao crossed his legs and hummed a tune comfortably.
Seeing Chen Erbao's determination to win, Liu Ma smiled awkwardly: "But it is dangerous to be the first to fight. Otherwise, I will protect you."
"Are you covering me?"
Chen Erbao looked at Liu Ma disdainfully and sneered: "When the headmaster was still there, you were the elder and worthy of protecting me. Now that the young headmaster has just taken over, I need the credit just when I need it. How can I give it to you?"
Liu Ma's face was very ugly. Unexpectedly, the guy in front of him didn't even wink at all!
Yes, when Chen Zuyi was still there, Chen Erbao was highly regarded, but it is different now. Now it is Chen Shiliang who walks the talk! If Chen Erbao really takes the first credit, Chen Shiliang will probably forgive Chen Erbao and entrust him with a heavy responsibility. Where will he still have his place then?
No, we have to fight!
"I am the one who leads the team, all orders follow my orders!"
Liu Ma made a decision.
Chen Erbao was unwilling to give in: "You can't take my first victory just because you are the leader of the team in a battle. You just said, let me take the lead!"
Liu Ma stood up, moved his arms, kicked the pirate next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready to attack the city!"
Chen Erbao had no choice but to watch Liu Ma organize his staff.
Yin Zhiguo walked to Chen Erbao and whispered: "Boss, what should we do?"
Chen Erbao looked at Yin Zhiguo. This was the first man he had recovered. Although Yin Zhiguo was a pirate, he still had family members in Taizhou. He had lost news for many years. It was Chen Erbao who helped Yin Zhiguo contact his family through intelligence investigation and brought him A letter from his family urged Yin Zhiguo to return to Taizhou and become a good citizen.
After Yin Zhiguo heard that Chen Erbao had purchased a house and land for his parents and brother with his own money, he was extremely grateful and became Chen Erbao's diehard fan.
Chen Erbao has many ways to win people's hearts, and he is not greedy for money or lust. Whatever good things he has, he sticks to his subordinates, so he is deeply supported by his subordinates. With some emotional ties and profit promises, thirteen people have completely surrendered, but Chen Erbao is the one who leads the way.
Now attacking Shuri Castle, Chen Erbao naturally brought these friends who had died. Facing Yin Zhiguo's inquiry, Chen Erbao said calmly: "If Liu Ma wants the first victory, then give it to him. However, the first victory is needed. It’s fought with human heads.”
Yin Zhiguo summed it up: Well, Liu Ma is looking for death.
The best time to fight in Shuri Castle has passed. Chen Zuyi's secret chess has been put on the bright side. Shang Bazhi and Shang Sixao are not fools. They cannot give Chen Zuyi another chance to steal the house.
After Liu Ma led his people to Shuri Castle, he directly launched an attack.
After all, they are pirates, especially those who have fought against the Ming Dynasty Navy. They have developed climbing skills, and are equipped with hooks and weapons. With a sudden charge, the pirates really rushed up the low city wall. .
Then, there was a fierce counterattack.
Shang Sishao did not live in the palace, but lived on the city wall. This kind of treatment was not prepared for Chen Zuyi alone, but because many ministers in Zhongshan Kingdom had not yet surrendered, so no one was allowed to do it for Wu Ning. Kill them in the name of revenge.
Shang Sixao, who was well prepared, met Liu Ma, who was also well prepared. The result was Liu Ma's disastrous defeat.
The pirates are very brave when they rush to kill. When they start to kill, they have bloody courage and are not afraid of death. This is true. But the problem is that the pirates are short of manpower. They have fully planned and only invested more than 700 people. These people are good in combat, but they only care about themselves and do not know how to cooperate and form formations. They kill here to the east and there to kill. The killing in the west can be described as chaos.
On the other hand, Shang Sishao's army, although they did not have much combat power and were not the absolute main force, had a forest of spears and a long attack range. They also knew how to cooperate. If anyone died, another soldier would come up to replace them.
Liu Ma was a man who cherished his life. He stood at the foot of the city and yelled for people to charge, while he stayed behind to command. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but become anxious. He turned around to find Chen Erbao and ordered: "Lead the people and kill them." , we must open the gap!"
Chen Erbao looked up at the city wall, took out the knife from his waist, raised it without hesitation, and slashed Liu Ma on the neck. Liu Ma never imagined that Chen Erbao, who had always been weak and good at strategy, could actually use a knife to kill people. It’s still yourself!
Liu Ma looked at Chen Erbao with incredulous eyes, and then felt that his life force was rapidly draining, his whole body became cold, and he fell into despair.
"Why?"
Liu Ma took a step back and wanted to cover her neck, but the blood was flowing, very hot and thick.
Chen Erbao raised the knife, put it on his sleeve skillfully, wiped the blood, and said slowly: "Why, don't you want my head? Since you have this idea, shouldn't you risk your own head first? "..
"You know everything?"
Liu Ma pointed at Chen Erbao.
Chen Erbao smiled and said: "Liu Ma, I have really been underestimated by you. Don't forget that I have information about the entire pirate group. Even if no one tells me about some of your and Chen Shiliang's tricks, I can You can guess it."
Liu Ma was unwilling to give in, but could no longer say anything.
Looking at the dead Liu Ma, Chen Erbao released the two hundred captive pirates, and then said to the remaining hesitant pirates: "You can either attack the city or escape for your lives. In short, don't follow me."
Dozens of pirates looked at each other.
Chen Erbao was too lazy to pay attention to these people, and was about to leave with Yin Zhiguo and other confidants.
A pirate named Wang Dao stood up and shouted: "Chen Erbao, we all know that you treat your brothers very well, let us follow you!"
"Yes, let us follow you."
A group of pirates had no idea, and Chen Erbao usually took good care of all the pirates and won the hearts of the people, so these pirates were willing to follow Chen Erbao.
Chen Erbao looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I want to return to Jingu Island and kill Chen Shiliang. If any of you have the courage, then follow me! I, Chen Erbao, cannot guarantee you glory and wealth, but I can guarantee that as long as you follow me I will fight to the death, let us die and live together, and I will give you a peaceful life!"
Wang Dao stamped his feet and shouted to the hesitant people: "Wang Erbao is much better than Chen Zuyi and Chen Shiliang. Let's follow him, otherwise, you will have to stay on this Ryukyu Island for the rest of your life!"
"We'll follow you!"
The pirates agreed.
Chen Erbao nodded, and instead of looking back at the pirates who were being constantly besieged and killed on the city wall, he directly chose to retreat. Wang Dao didn't say anything. The retreat needed someone to cover it, and they were the most suitable people.
Jingu Island, inside the shipyard.
Chen Dabao sat on a pile of wooden boards and looked at the busy shipwrights. Not far away were Hu Jiu and Zhang Qi.
Zhuang Zhengde knocked on the side of the ship with a hammer, and from time to time he raised his head and looked at Chen Dabao. Chen Dabao yawned, then jumped off the log, walked towards Zhuang Zhengde with a staggering step, and shouted: "You old man, what do you think I am doing?" Don’t you want to escape? I’m telling you, I’ll let you taste my power now!”
