Waiting outside the military camp were a group of strong men, no matter how tall or short they were, fat or thin, but they couldn't hide the fierce and bloody aura on their bodies.
"Huh, rabble!" Hou Cheng stood on the camp gate, looking at the soldiers who were five hundred steps away from the camp gate, with deep disdain on his face.
"I think they are all quite fierce." Chu Nan looked at this group of people. Each of them seemed to have the word "not to be messed with" written on their faces. They felt that they were stronger than ordinary soldiers.
"Sir, in the ranks, if you are unable to match the ability of the front army, your personal strength will be worthless. If these are really pirates, they may not even be able to form a complete formation. Even if the lord comes and brings this group of soldiers,
, none of the Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army can be used." Hou Cheng explained casually.
The collision between the two armies does not depend on how strong your soldiers are, but on the overall quality. They advance and retreat in a consistent manner and follow orders and prohibitions. This is called an army. Although the elder brother is fat and healthy, all of these people in front of them have a look of unruliness in their eyes.
, if there is one person like this in the army, he must be a general. If everyone is like this, they are like a piece of loose sand.
"Look at the positions occupied by these people. There is no structure at all. If I lead an army to attack at this time, no matter from which direction, even if the number is half of them, I can easily defeat them." Hou Cheng said at the end,
Quite a bit proud.
Chu Nan nodded, this may be the difference between the regular army and the bandits and bandits. In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the bandits and bandits may not be inferior, but if it is really the turn of the whole group to fight, it will be difficult to appear among the bandits and bandits.
A strong general who can stand up to a thousand, but does not have the personal strength to turn the tide of the battle, bandits and grass bandits are like a piece of loose sand in the eyes of the regular army.
"Open the camp gate and give them the salt!" Chu Nan waved his hand and asked someone to transport the prepared coarse salt to the outside of the camp. Ten thousand kilograms of coarse salt, a total of two hundred frames.
The demonic mantis, which had already been instructed by Chu Nan, transformed into its true form, flapped its wings and flew into the gap in the bamboo basket.
You won't be pinched to death, right?
Looking at the demonic mantis hiding in the bamboo basket, Chu Nan shook his head. In terms of strength and physical strength, the demonic mantis now has almost caught up with generals like Hou Cheng who have been fighting for many years. It would be too embarrassing if he was pinched to death.
.
The pirate who came to collect salt was in a strange mood at the moment. After being a pirate for so many years, it was not like he had never dealt with the army before, but this was the first time he came to collect things from the army like this.
When a group of soldiers came out of the camp pushing baskets of salt, a group of tough bandits immediately tightened their weapons and entered a state of high alert.
If the officers and soldiers suddenly take action, they will immediately abandon the salt and run away.
"Check it out, each box here is fifty kilograms, and there are two hundred boxes of salt in total. Do you have enough?" Cao Xing pointed to a large piece of salt and said with an indifferent expression.
The leader of the pirates frowned and looked at Cao Xing, hesitating, then waved his hand, and several men ran over to check. Everyone was on high alert throughout the whole process. If there was even the slightest movement in this group of officers and soldiers, they would immediately abandon the salt and run away.
They are pirates. It is unwise to fight with the army on land. They can only run away.
However, these officers and soldiers obviously had no intention of embarrassing them. They just stood aside and supervised from beginning to end.
As for what to supervise, everyone knows it very well. On weekdays, when we come to various fishing villages to collect profits, we can find faults wherever we can. We wish we could pick up more layers, but what we are facing are the officers and soldiers, let alone this batch of salt products.
It's true, even if there is sand in it, they won't dare to collapse.
"No problem!" A pirate came back in a hurry and whispered to the leader: "The portion is very generous and the quality is good."
The pirate leader nodded silently and gave an unusual salute to Cao Xing: "General, the goods are fine. Let's... say goodbye."
"Retreat!" Cao Xing nodded coldly, waved his hand, and the accompanying soldiers returned to the military camp in an orderly manner.
Until this moment, the pirates breathed a sigh of relief and ordered people to carry the salt frame. They took the salt to the beach and moved the salt frame onto the ship. During this period, the pirate leader did not relax his vigilance and kept staring in the direction of the military camp.
As long as there is any trouble, he will immediately abandon the salt and run for his life.
After all the salt was loaded onto the ship and no movement was seen, the pirates finally breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the coast gradually move away.
"This weird thing happens every year. Are these officers and soldiers surrendering to us?" A pirate looked at the gradually disappearing military camp on the shore. He lay weakly in the cabin and looked at his leader.
"Hey, what do you know?" The pirate leader curled his lips disdainfully and said: "They can't do anything to us, and they want to use people. It's hard to say in other places, but here in Ganyu, it depends on our faces, but that's all
This time, I heard from the boss that this time they were in a hurry and had to deal with errands, so they compromised."
"Just this one time is enough for my brothers and me to make a name for ourselves. Look at the look on the general's face just now that wanted to take action but didn't dare. It's quite funny when you think about it. I really expected what would happen if they did it just now?"
After a group of pirates got over the tension of facing the officers and soldiers, they now began to laugh at them. After this incident, their fear of the officers and soldiers was reduced.
In the military camp, Cao Xing came to Chu Nan and intervened: "Sir, everyone has left."
Chu Nan nodded, said nothing, and looked a little weird. After walking for so long, the connection between himself and the demon mantis was still intact!
In the past, when Mantis was still the King of Mantis, he lost his senses when he went to the government office. Now, even though he is far away, he can still sense its emotions, and even the other party can respond to him.
"What's the next step?" Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan and asked.
The salt has been sent out, so the next step is to take action. According to Chu Nan's plan, first destroy this group of pirates and eliminate the fear of these fishermen, and then grab this Ganyu and become it in Lu Bu's hands.
financial resources.
With this, Lu Bu no longer has to worry about money in the future, and can do more things.
"General, don't be impatient. We'll make plans after we find out what's true." Chu Nan waved his hand. Although Hou Cheng swore to himself that as long as he was on land, there would be no problem, but Chu Nan didn't believe it.
Although they are officers and soldiers, in this day and age, who knows if there are any powerful fierce men among the bandits and bandits? Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win the battle, or at least you must first find out the opponent's approach.
"The general is preparing for war. After knowing where the bandits are, we need to send someone to investigate."
Hou Cheng nodded dejectedly. That's the bad thing about following Chu Nan. He was cautious in everything. If it were Lu Bu, he might have gone directly to the enemy's den of thieves. A group of pirates, what's there to be afraid of...
