Hu Changshui is the leader of a small water bandit a hundred miles away from the eastern part of Xishan Island. It occupies this small island with a size of several miles and is not valued by other water bandits as its nest. Of course, this is not because he doesn't like to occupy more
It is a big island, but he has no strength. Under his command, there are only about 500 people including the elderly, weak, women and children. Among them, there are only about 300 people who can be called water bandits.
The warships were only modified by several fishing boats.
Hu Changshui was originally a fisherman in the lake-line area of Suzhou Prefecture in the north. After offending local tribes, he had to escape and became a group of water bandits. Over the years, he had taken over some villages and other fishermen in trouble and allowed his hands to be handed over.
The number of people at the beginning increased to about 500.
However, compared with the large and small water bandits around, his power was too weak. Even other water bandits could not have the intention to annex him. Moreover, the island he occupied was also a very barren island.
There is no value. In his hands, there are only a few old fishing boats. His existence is not a threat to other water bandits. Therefore, over the years, Hu Changshui and five hundred people relied on collecting few passing merchant ships.
Tolls are aided, and some merchants are transported and fishing for a living.
However, when the Jieyi Army and the Qi Navy's Navy began to confront each other in Taihu waters, his disaster record came. Because the Qi Navy and the Jieyi Navy's Navy's Navy were increasingly urgent in Taihu waters, the number of merchants coming and going was increasingly rare.
As soon as this came, the source of life for Hu Changshui's troops became a problem. Especially after the Jieyi Navy defeated the Qi Navy around, the food and money accumulated by Hu Changshui finally came to an end.[
However, due to the low strength of the weak Hu Changshui troops, there were not even those sent by the navy army of Jieyi Army to persuade them to surrender. Therefore, in order to survive the water bandits and their families, Hu Changshui still sought a way out.
After Xishan Island sent a message to summon various water bandits to help with the defense, Hu Changshui intentionally acted. Of course, he did not want to go against the Jieyi Navy, but continued like this, for fear that the Jieyi Navy had not yet taken it.
When he goes to Xishan Island, his people will starve to death. Xishan Island promises that if they defend Xishan Island and defeat the Jieyi Navy, they will not only receive compensation for participating in the war, but also use Xishan Island as a logistics place, which can be used in
Purchase supplies from Xishan Island.
The grain from Hu Changshui's troops was gone, but he still had some money. But now the Jieyi Army fought against Xishan Island, and even if he had money, he could not buy food. Even if he could contact Xishan Island, now Xishan Island
How could it be easy to sell food and other scarce materials when fighting against the Jieyi Navy?
Monsanto of Xishan Island also restricted the materials from Xishan Island from going out to force these water bandits to land on the island to assist in defense. You should know that the money and materials intercepted by the water bandits around were all spent on Xishan Island. In addition, the water
The bandits collected goods from merchants as tolls, and they also took action through Xishan Island. Now that Xishan Island has stopped material traffic, the surrounding water bandits suddenly felt like they were put on a condom on their heads.
Of course, those large water bandits will naturally not have problems because of the Xishan Island practice. However, those small and medium-sized water bandits immediately fell into trouble. After all, if you have money, you can't buy food and daily necessities, and the gold and silver
Money becomes waste. People need to eat, but gold and silver are the laws to meet people's daily needs.
Therefore, after Xishan Island issued this kind of reward-style notice, the surrounding water bandits began to take action. Many small and medium-sized water bandits began to gather at Xishan Island and prepared to assist Xishan Island in defense. Of course, this is not the case with them.
He was willing to surrender to the Jieyi Army in this way. Even some large water bandits began to prepare for their actions.
These large water bandits knew very well that if Xishan Island was defeated, they would face the pressure of the Jieyi Navy. Therefore, they did not want the Jieyi Navy to conquer Xishan Island. However, because their family has a great cause, and with Jieyi Navy, they would not want the Jieyi Navy to conquer Xishan Island.
The rebel navy and the navy began to move around, making them afraid to act rashly. Therefore, they were all waiting for the situation on Xishan Island.
For small water bandits like Hu Changshui, he has no time to wait. If he continues like this, he is afraid that before he can wait for Xishan Island and the Jieyi Army, he will decide the outcome and hundreds of people under his command will
He became a starving ghost on the island. So, after hearing the news, he made fewer arrangements and took nearly 300 people and five large and slightly old fishing boats to Xishan Island, wanting to turn this first
Three hundred people's lives need to be settled.
However, when Hu Changshui and his men approached thirty miles east of Xishan Island, the lookout hand on their boat discovered an abnormal situation.
"Chief, there seem to be two fleets in front of you going to war?" Hu Changshui, who was resting in the ship, was woken up by his brothers under his command. As soon as he opened his mouth, Hu Changshui's face suddenly changed.
"War starts? Do you know who is with whom? Who will start the war here now... No, it's not the Jie Yi Army?" Hu Changshui suddenly remembered that around Xishan Island, besides the Jie Yi Army's warships
In addition, there will be no other warships that will trigger a war at this moment. Even those water bandits with hatred will not start the war at this time. The main force of the Jieyi Army Navy is on the side, so how dare they cause any trouble easily
If it is not good, it will become the target of the destruction of the navy army of the Jieyi Army.
"Jie Yi Army Navy? Head... Leader... No!" The lookout hand who came back reported was full of slutty faces, and his words began to tremble. The battle between Jie Yi Army Navy in the southern waters a few days ago,
But it has been known by all the water bandits around. Not to mention them, even if all the water bandits unite now, they are not the opponent of the Jieyi Army Navy. The four water bandits who were attracted by the Qi army were recruited, but in the middle of the Taihu Lake waters
The four strongest teams within a radius of hundreds of miles.
These four water bandits started together, and the weapons provided by the Qi army failed to defeat the Jie Yi Navy. You can imagine how powerful the Jie Yi Navy is? Of course, they didn't know.
At the beginning, the four water bandits were divided by Hu Le's troops, and with the help of internal contact, they were wiped out. Later, Hu Le led the nose and forced the family to surrender. In fact, in the end, the company was finally led by Hu Le.
The three water bandits who appeared in front of the main force of the Jieyi Army Navy had already lost half of their strength.
"Don't worry, retreat immediately and we'll go back!" Thinking of the powerful naval power of the Jie Yi army, Hu Changshui immediately ordered his fleet to turn around and prepare to turn back. Although they urgently need food now, they dare not go to Jie with Jie.
The Rebel Navy faced the front. Not to mention the main force of the Rebel Navy, even a tower ship or a fighting ship could crush them.
It is true that they lack food, and it is true that they want to use 300 people to exchange their lives for food. However, this premise is to save their lives and enter Xishan Island. Otherwise, if they have lost their lives, they
Who else can I find to exchange for the food they need? In addition, the young and strong on the island, except for more than 20 people who stayed behind their nests to help the elderly, weak, women and children live normally, the rest are here, if they
The old, weak, and the children on the island were finished.
"Yes...yes...I'll go and give orders!" The lookout hand rushed out hurriedly, but then turned back and said to Hu Changshui with a bitter look on his face: "The head...the leader...the big thing...the big thing is not good.
The one fighting opposite was indeed the Jiyi Navy Navy, and the other side was Lin Datong's boss from Beidao. Lin Datong's flagship had been chased by the Jiyi Navy Navy and came straight to us. In addition, the Jiyi Navy Navy's team
We are here too. Our ship speed is not as fast as theirs, and we cannot escape."
Hu Changshui did not continue to speak, and immediately rushed out of the cabin, appeared outside, looking at the battlefield westward. Sure enough, the situation in front of him made Hu Changshui's face turn white. As the lookout hand said, Lin Dazhu's fleet in Beidao,
There were only two ships left at this moment, and they were rushing towards him in a mess. And behind them, more than ten large and small warships were chasing them at this moment.
"Go away the ship to the side. This fox Lin is preparing to retreat from us, wanting us to block the pursuit of the Jieyi Navy for them." Seeing the two warships running away from each other, they did not avoid themselves at all,
Without the intention of stopping, Hu Changshui immediately understood the other party's thoughts and wanted to use his large fishing boats to block the pursuit of the Jieyi Navy.
"Damn old guy, I want us to feed the tiger's mouth of the Jieyi Navy! I deserve it!" Hu Changshui couldn't help but curse the other party's insidiousness. But at the same time, he was also secretly frightened.[
You know, under the command of Lin Datong of Beidao, there are more than a thousand sailors and more than twenty ships of all sizes, especially the ships in their hands, which have been modified and can be called warships. But now
The head of the Tan Da family, who was known as Lin Fox, only carried two already ragged warships and fled eastward in a panic. Seeing that Lin Fox, who had never even seen him at all, ended up in such a situation,
Hu Changshui couldn't help feeling a little happy. After all, in the past, he had been troubled by the water bandits under Lin Fox many times, so who made his strength too weak?
However, seeing that Lin Fox, who was already very powerful in his eyes, has become like this now, Hu Changshui felt more fearful. Yes, it is fear. No matter how much others say, he has not seen the truth with his own eyes. Lian Lin Fox
All of them were beaten like this by the Jie Yi Army. So these old broken ships were not sunk by the Jie Yi Army?
Especially when Hu Changshui knew what the goal of Lin Fox was this time, and was surrounded and killed by the Jieyi Navy, he was even more worried. Because Lin Fox's goal was the same as him, and he also wanted to go to Xishan Island to assist the Qi army in defense.
In exchange for food. The fox of Lin has always loved gold, silver, money, and not food. Therefore, when the fox of Lin robs the merchant ship or collects tolls, he always asks for money, not food, cloth, salt and tea.
Medicine and other items. In other words, although Lin Fox has a lot of money in his hands, he has not hoarded much of his daily necessities.
So, when the Jieyi Navy began to block Xishan Island, causing the connection between Xishan Island and the outside world to be cut off, and began to attack all the surrounding water bandits, Lin Hulu had no choice. At this moment, he understood, no matter how much money he had, he could do.
If you can't buy anything, you will be a bunch of waste. Of course, he also understood that the Jie Yi army attacked Xishan Island and the connection between Xishan Island and Suzhou Prefecture in the north of Taihu Lake and the outside world was actually "forcing" them to the water bandits.
When even food and supplies are gone, and even daily needs are problems, do these water bandits still have any choice?
Therefore, Lin Huli, who was more serious than other water bandits, began to rush to Xishan Island after the notice was issued by Mengshan Island on Xishan Island. Xishan Island is not only the jurisdiction of the Qi army, but also the supply point for all the surrounding water bandits.
.The powerful people on Xishan Island can grow and grow to this day and can attract water bandits as private soldiers, which is because they are secretly providing supplies to these water bandits. Of course, Xishan Island previously provided supplies to these water bandits invisibly.
But after the Monsanto military order is issued, if these water bandits are willing to assist in the defense, they will become open in the future.
Meng Shan was not worried that his move would cause any trouble. After all, the Qi army began to recruit water bandits and had spread throughout the waters of Taihu Lake. Doing so himself can be regarded as winning over the Qi army. After all, if these water bandits do not fall to their side, if these water bandits do not fall to their side
, then it will turn to the Jie Yi Army. Besides, Xishan Island is still facing the attack of the Jie Yi Navy at this moment.
If the Jiyi Navy can be defeated, Monsan and other island powers can use this to openly trade materials with the water bandits. In addition, they can also win over a group of people invisibly. Monsan and others also know that after this battle, they will not
A small group of water bandits will definitely worry about the revenge of the Jieyi Army in the future and will choose the Qi army to surrender, and their opportunity to expand their strength will come.
However, it is obvious that the operation of Xishan Island has long been discovered by the Jieyi Navy. At this moment, the Jieyi Navy has probably already attacked these water bandits who wanted to go to Xishan Island to assist in the defense.
When Hu Changshui saw with his own eyes that Lin Huli's flagship was shot by a round of catapults from the Jieyi Navy, a hole was smashed on the side, and then several crossbow arrows were shot, and the warship was hit by a warship.
The water bandits on it were also standing on the warships of the Jie Yi Army Navy, and they were killed one by one, making Hu Changshui feel cold all over. The soldiers of the Jie Yi Army Navy clearly did not leave any prisoners
Kill Lin Fox's troops.
"I hope they can treat us as passing fishing boats, or see us as weak, look at us." Seeing that Lin Fox's two warships were sunk by the Jieyi Navy before they could approach him.
Hu Changshui couldn't help but pray in his heart when he killed all the water bandits.
Now Hu Changshui has no idea to go to Xishan Island to assist in defense. Now he just wants to return immediately and quietly return to the Linhu area of Suzhou Prefecture in the north to survive.
However, it is obvious that Hu Changshui's prayer did not play any role. More than ten large and small warships had already approached. Especially the tower ship in front, Hu Changshui had already looked up to see the upper deck.
The huge waves brought by the driving made the warships under Hu Changshui's feet begin to turbulently.
Hu Changshui gave up the idea of asking his brothers to take out their weapons to fight back. Of course, he also saw that many brothers around him had turned pale and their bodies were trembling. I am afraid that he had issued a military order and could stand up.
Not many people resisted. Of course, this is also related to Hu Changshui's failure to let too many of the three hundred young men under his command participate in the battle.
To be honest, Hu Changshui, a water bandit, did a very unqualified job. His men were either fishing or assisting some merchants in transporting things in exchange for supplies. Of course, some merchant ships without much strength would be blackmailed by him and asked for them.
There are not many tolls. Because of this, his men are not good at fighting.
Fortunately, the warship of the Jieyi Navy's Navy was parked not far in front of Hu Changshui and did not directly crash into it. Hu Changshui believed that if the other party's tower ship was loaded directly, his car would turn into fragments and the other party would suffer from damage.
.
"Ye, there is still a water bandit who is preparing to go to Xishan Island to assist in the defense. Sir, should you sink them directly?" Before Hu Changshui could breathe a sigh of relief, there were people on the other Jieyi Navy warships around him.
Chant up.
The main general on the tower ship was nothing but Xu Wenle. This time he led some soldiers from the first town of the Jieyi Army, and some of the surrendered soldiers who had previously surrendered to the Shui Bandits were engaged in cooperative battles. With the past few days of extermination and support to Xishan Island
The actions of the water bandits, these surrendered soldiers, gradually integrated into the navy of the Jieyi Army, and transformed from the water bandits to a soldier.
"Which water bandit are you from? You are the two or three hundred people and these broken ships to support Xishan Island?" After a smile and his soldiers under his command, Xu Wenle asked Hu Changshui coldly.
Seeing that the other party did not take action immediately, Hu Changshui immediately changed his mind and said anxiously: "Report to this general, we are not the bandits supporting Xishan Island, but the troops who are preparing to surrender to the Jieyi Army. We are on a small island a hundred miles away in the east.
There are only so many small water bandits, and there are more than 200 elderly, weak and weak women and children. Therefore, we only have these dilapidated fishing boats as water warships.”
"The Jieyi Army fought against Xishan Island and blocked the connection between Xishan Island and the outside world. Now the food reserved on our island has bottomed out, which has caused difficulties in our lives. So, from other water bandits, we know that the Jieyi Army naval army is going to surrender.
I brought people to the water bandits active in this area, and I hope the general will take them in." As he said that, Hu Changshui told the details of his nest one by one.
"Take the initiative?" Xu Wenle was stunned. There was no record of Hu Changshui's troops on the list of various water bandits in his hands. Of course, it was because the other party was too small and no one cared about it.
"You really want to surrender to us?" Xu Wenle asked in a deep voice. Xu Wenle naturally would not refuse to surrender to Fang. What the Jie Yi Army needs now is the surrender of these water bandits, whether it is to expand the power of the navy or expand the future occupation of the Jie Yi army.
The population placed here after Xishan Island will be accepted by the rebel army.[
