Chapter 544 Cleaning Up the Water Thieves
"We just repelled the water thieves along the coast before, and now we have lost contact with Minxin Lake Island. Our navy is blocked here. Liangguo's navy is a bit strong."

Ximen Leopard quickly said: "The hardest-hit area is the Yang County area. Yang County is the port city of this county. Because of the rampage of water thieves, the port had to be closed directly. There is an army stationed in Yang County, and it did not fall into the hands of water thieves, but The area around Yang County, including the villages along the coast, has suffered.”

Ximen Bao asked the clerk next to him to hand over the map. Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and others looked at the map and found that Yangxian County was in the southeastern area of ​​​​Linchuan West County.

"From here to here, we have basically been invaded by water thieves. These water thieves are very powerful and too fast. Once we send troops to support them, they will retreat immediately and cannot be caught at all."

"What about the situation on Minxin Lake Island?"

"There is no news. The previous news is that Liangguo's navy surrounded the island of Minxin Lake, and there has been no news. I wanted to send the navy to go there, but the combat power of the navy is far from enough, and the water bandits blocked it. .”

Gan Ning said: "I understand that the water thieves near Minxin Lake are able to wreak such havoc. It should be that those water thieves have formed an alliance with each other. This has been the case before. When it is convenient to rob in the spring, the water thieves will temporarily give up their conflicts and carry out Form an alliance, and only in autumn and winter will they attack and compete with each other.”

Then, he clasped his fists again: "Commander, if you give me some soldiers and walking boats, I can train some Jinfan thieves. The water thieves can't sail as fast as I do. Only a few thousand people are needed to break through those Water thief."

At this moment, a soldier ran quickly from outside the hall: "My lord, there is news from the front that the water thieves have come to harass again."

Ximen Leopard's face was a little gloomy: "This group of water thieves really regard Xinguo as their back garden? They have sent orders to the villages to organize training and prepare for the enemy. How dare they come?"

Zhou Yu said, "How many raging water thieves are there?"

"There are three regions in total, one is the southern part of Yang County, one is Tai'er Village, and the other is Yangjia Village."

Zhou Yu said, "In that case, General Gan."

"exist."

"Lead a part of the cavalry and go straight to the south of Yang County to drive out the water thieves."

"Yes."

"General Zhao."

"exist."

Zhao Yun also cupped his fists.

"You lead a part of the cavalry to drive away the water thieves in Yangjia Village. I will personally lead the troops to drive away the water thieves in Tai'er Village."

"Yes."

Zhou Yu was about to change his armor, and Ximen Leopard followed him.

"Prefect, how many ships are there in Linchuanxi County?"

"There are only a dozen of them. Previously, the main ships were all on Minxin Island. The previous shipyards had been looted by pirates and had to be shut down. There were only small ships."

Zhou Yu wrote down all the circumstances.

Not long after, Zhou Yu put on a white armor and a white helmet, and led a group of soldiers straight to the direction of Tai'er Village.

Zhou Yu brought a total of four legions this time. Adding the original legion, there were five legions. The southeast region was an area that Ren Tian must win and must not be ceded to Liang Kingdom.

Gan Ning and Zhao Yun also quickly led the soldiers and headed straight to several areas.

The green plains are wild, and there are occasional small rolling hills, but they are not too high.

Several official roads spread in the wild. From a distance, a group of New Kingdom cavalry quickly headed south along the official roads.

"quick!"

Gan Ning shouted!

With the eight-treasure electric knife on his waist and a bow on his back, Gan Ning was extremely fast. Behind him, there were thousands of cavalrymen who quickly followed him, horse hooves galloping, straight to the south of Yang County. zone.

The same goes for Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu. What they need to do now is to clean up these water thieves and set up a defense line, and then they can go south to Minxin Lake and compete with Liang Kingdom.

On Zhao Yun's side, holding a gentian spear in his hand, he also quickly headed straight to the east.

At this moment, Yangjiacun.

All the villagers in Yangjia Village were screaming. A group of old, weak, women and children were trapped in the middle. Some strong men were holding weapons and fighting against the water thieves in the village.

It's just, how can ordinary people fight against fierce water thieves.

clang!
The long knife he swung was directly blocked, and then he was kicked in the chest, and fell to the ground. The water thief had a grin on his face, and stabbed him down fiercely.

puff!
The long knife entered the body and spurted out blood. The man's eyes widened and he held the blade tightly with both hands, but it was of no use.

"what!!"

There was a woman screaming next to her. She was dragged into the middle of the village and tied up with other women and children.

There were five or sixty people, all women and children, and countless corpses were scattered on the ground around them.

"Hurry up! If those officers and soldiers come, you will have to throw away some things!"

A rough black-bearded man with a big knife in his hand stood there, full of ferocity, and even raised a crying woman with his right hand, with violent eyes.

"Damn, why are you crying?"

Black Beard raised his hand, and slapped the woman hard on the face.

Snapped!
A crisp slap sounded, and the woman let out a scream, and was directly slapped to the ground, her mouth full of blood.

From the other enemies in the village, more water thieves were frantically entering other houses, and taking out some valuable things frantically.

A water thief even led an ox, dragging it life and death, trying to drag the ox away.

Moo~~
The scalper didn't move.

"What the hell kind of cow are you bringing? Can the cow be brought on board?"

Blackbeard cursed: "Are you stupid?"

The water thief could only let go of the cattle and enter the house next to him.

Countless water thieves came out with all kinds of things, but most of them were seeds, food, and valuable things, such as cloth.

Because water thieves can take these things, cash them in, and make deals with other countries in exchange for what they need.

As for women and children, they are also must-haves for water thieves.

Children are very young, they can be raised well, and when they grow up, they will be excellent water thieves.

As for women, they have too many uses. Women are needed to give birth to children, plant crops on the island, and clean the house.

When the women are almost dead, they come to rob and kidnap the next batch of women.

Most water thieves are like this.

The doors of some houses were tightly closed, and the water thief kicked open the door violently. The man inside was stabbed to death with a knife, and the woman who was hiding was directly pulled out.

The entire village was filled with blood donations, and the fast villagers had already escaped from the village and ran forward in a panic.

At this moment, a cavalry troop came over on the official road, and the leading general in white armor was Zhao Yun.
