Great Song Pirate

Chapter 316 Digging a Pit
When Baldy Li's head was brought up, the legs of the accomplices who were tied up in the hall suddenly became limp, and the tone of their begging for mercy also changed, but Xu Yi didn't kill them in the end, but asked people to These people were pulled out and each was beaten with thirty army sticks, and then no matter what they used to do, they all went to the end, and they all went to work as handymen.

The sound of the batons falling on the meat and the hysterical screams of those people were heard far away in the night sky, circling and reverberating over the entire water village of Huangyu Island. Listening to the executioner counting the number of times the stick was dropped until they were knocked unconscious.

"Tell the captain of the ship that set sail just now, I want to see him!" Xu Yi shouted to the people in the hall.

Immediately, a very capable man ran up from the hall. He was about thirty years old and his skin could be described as black. Xu Yi was taken aback by his appearance and almost regarded him as an African friend.

"My subordinate Xu Dong pays respects to the lord!" The man immediately bowed to Xu Yi after he ran to the hall.

Xu Yi carefully looked at this person named Xu Dong, and then remembered that he had seen him before. If I remember correctly, this person should be Pu Yinjian's former subordinate, and he could be regarded as an old man of Fubo Army. It's not so dark, and it looks younger. I haven't seen him for a while, but such a big change has taken place, which made him a little unexpected, so he nodded: "Free! Get up and talk! Just now you led the troops to fight Ours?"

"Damn my subordinate, I didn't know it was your lord's fleet at the time, so I led my troops to attack and offended my lord, please punish my lord!" Xu Dong quickly replied with his head bowed.

"Do you know that what you did was to let the brothers on your ship die. If you attack rashly without knowing the enemy's situation, you may not even get your bones back, do you know?" Xu Yi continued to ask him.

"The subordinates know! But I had no choice at the time. I don't know how many ships came, but I thought that if it was really an incoming enemy, even if I couldn't rush out, I could delay it for some time, and we had ballistas , You won’t lose out if you fight together!” Xu Dong spoke very simple and honest.

"Then do you know what Baldy Li did?" Xu Yi asked again.

This time Xu Dong hesitated for a moment, but after a while he still bowed and replied: "This subordinate knows!"

"Then have you tried to dissuade him?"

Xu Dong hesitated again, and finally replied: "This subordinate is guilty, and this subordinate has never dissuaded Li Tongdai!"

"Why?" Xu Yi continued to ask.

"My lord, please punish!" Xu Dong didn't answer Xu Yi this time, but bowed his head again to plead guilty.

There was no sound in the hall, and everyone could hear their own breathing and heartbeat. Xu Yi just stared at Xu Dong who was standing below. It took a long time for the expression on his face to relax. Seeing Xu Yi's expression After getting better, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

"Now I appoint you to be the leader of this place, and everyone in Huangyu Island is under your control. If this place is so lax in the future, or if you make the same mistake as Li Guangtou, I will definitely kill you!" There was a smile.

Xu Dong was stunned for a moment, but immediately he was ecstatic and hurriedly thanked him: "My subordinates are very grateful for the trust of the lord, even if they are heartbroken, they will definitely repay the lord!"

Considering Baldy Li's military exploits, Xu Yi did not hang his head for public display. Instead, he got a coffin for him and buried him on Huangyu Island. He was ordered not to tell him the cause of his death. The old mother in Dulong Island only said that he died fighting for the Fubo Army, so as not to make his mother feel more sad or lose her head because of this, which made Miao Fang and the others very grateful.

They stayed here overnight, and just after dawn, the fleet set sail again, heading towards the land.

Such a fleet appeared on the sea, and the ships that encountered them avoided one after another. They didn't know where they came from, but I believe that the word "Fubo" will spread soon. This is the first time since the name of Fubo Army Walked up to the front desk.

Because this time they came out to seek bad luck, not to rob safari, so the fleet never provoked the passing ships, but rushed all the way to the coast of Huainan East Road, trying to find Sun Cheng's black scarf thief on the huge sea. It was really difficult, but luckily they knew roughly the location of his lair, so they headed straight for Yancheng, which had to be close to the coast, and it was difficult for others not to see their fleet.

Although I heard that there are quite a few pirates in this small group, after they entered the coast of Huainan East Road, they didn't even meet the pirates. It is said that the merchant ships ran away one after another, even those fishing boats quickly avoided. Even if they encountered some pirates, unless they were fools or thought they were supermen wearing underwear, otherwise these guys would never take Xu Yi's fleet They were the ones who started the attack, and Xu Yi's target was not them, so he swaggered past them all the way, causing the ships along the way to jump up and down, and even the official ships they encountered on the road quickly avoided them, for fear that they would surround them. I went up to give them a round, but fortunately I didn't run into the warship of the officers and soldiers, otherwise I don't know who would avoid it!

Sun Cheng lived very comfortably these days. In less than a year, he gathered more than 2000 men and owned fifty or sixty ships. He seemed to have become the overlord of the sea in this area. There was nothing I could do about them, after I came out to find them, I went back home without even touching their sides, not to mention the government offices of the local states and counties. Fortification along the coast is against him, so although he does not occupy any islands, he is not afraid of trouble from the government. On weekdays, his fleet is mostly scattered in the small bays along the coast. , robbed passing ships, and attacked and looted some villages and towns along the coast, but no one could do anything about him.

But in the past two days, his eyelids have always been twitching, and he always felt that there was some uneasiness in his heart that made him feel uneasy, so he thought about it over and over again, but he didn't know the reason.

During this period of time, he acquired so much property that even he couldn't count it himself. In short, now he knows that he is very rich, and there are many women. Once a person has so many good things, he starts to be afraid of death. For a while, he seldom went out to do things in person. Instead, he divided his subordinates into several groups and took turns to go out to rob, and he simply lived in this village dozens of miles away from Yancheng. His house used to be here. A big family, but now this big family has been killed by him, leaving only some young women in his family as his playthings, and those families in the village have been warned by him. Just kill them all, so none of these timid villagers dared to make trouble with him, and the big family surnamed Yan that Sun Cheng killed at the beginning was not a good thing, and everyone was too lazy to complain for their Yan family, and fortunately Since this guy robbed the house of this rich family, he also knows the reason why rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, and he hasn't harmed the villagers here. On the contrary, he is a small favor to the villagers from time to time. He seems to be called a good person here. Live the life of a rich man in peace and stability.

Although the villagers knew his identity, after a long time, they didn't see him coming to harm the villagers, so they gradually got used to his existence here, and gradually adapted to the life under his rule. After going on, I often saw some boats docked on the small pier outside the village from time to time, transporting the goods into the house. As for what was loaded on the car, the villagers could guess a general idea.

When Xu Yi's fleet bumped all the way to the sea outside Yancheng, Xu Yi also felt very depressed, because after arriving here, they did not find a decent opponent to fight at all. They ran away without a trace. The original plan to have a quick fight with the black turban thief seemed to be in vain. This time the situation was different. In the past, their opponents were all entrenched on the islands in the sea like them. Among them, most of their fleets are concentrated on the islands. As long as they let go and kill their fleets after a battle, all that remains is to land on the islands and wipe them all out.

But this time is different, this group of black turban thieves did not occupy any islands, but hid themselves on land, and their boats were scattered along the coast, mixed among fishing boats and cargo ships, making them a little helpless. They abandoned their boats and went ashore. Searching the coast is definitely not an option, and doing so is equivalent to giving up their advantage. Even if they find that Sun Cheng, it may be a land battle at that time, and it may not be possible to take advantage of it, so Xu Yi is very happy. Headache about this matter.

Miao Fang and others in the fleet also gathered on the Pioneer to discuss this matter. In Miao Fang's opinion, it is better to go directly to the land to find Sun Cheng's old lair, and just get rid of him. At sea is not always an option.

But Xu Yi disagreed with his idea, thinking that it would be too risky to do so. Now they don't know how many people are concentrated in the opponent's lair, and if they do this, they will automatically give up their own advantages, and the damage will definitely be not small. How to do it This matter needs to be considered in the long run.

And Cai Xing put forward his idea. He is most familiar with the ground here, and he probably knows the location of Sizao Village. He is willing to go ashore to find out where Sun Cheng lives and find out about him. After figuring out the news, they can decide whether to go ashore and kill him or fight them at sea.

Xu Yi was quite satisfied with his proposal, but the other captain called him a bolder idea.

"I think we might as well learn how we dealt with Lu Laosan last time. When we dealt with Lu Laosan last time, the lord asked Brother Lin and the others to transfer Lu Laosan's fleet out of his island, and then we The sea gave them a one-pot soup, I think we might as well use this method again this time, send a boat or two over there, first call out their fleet, and then how about we kill them at sea?" This is called Wang The straight captain spoke his mind.

After hearing this, Xu Yi was very interested, so he asked: "This idea is good, but we don't know their exact location yet, so how can we go to call out his fleet? And the news we got is This guy named Sun Cheng lives on land. Even if we call out his fleet and eliminate most of his men, if he doesn't come out with the fleet, we still have no way to deal with this guy. If we don't get rid of him, we will still treat the symptoms If we don't cure the root cause, given time, I'm afraid this Sun Cheng will make a comeback again, and our trip will be in vain!"

Wang Zhi thought for a while and said: "My lord is also thinking about it. I think there is still a way to call them out. Didn't Brother Xue and the others say last time that these gangs of black scarf thieves have become rampant recently? We might as well use two The ship is disguised as a cargo ship and sails along the coast. Once they find our ship and try to rob it, our ship will withdraw to the open sea and lead them to come out to chase. As long as they chase out, we will be fine. It is not difficult to deal with them by casting a net with a fast boat. I think there are not many people who can deal with us at sea now, and my subordinates think it is very sure to do so!"

After Miao Fang listened to his words, he immediately said: "Good idea, I think Wang Zhi's method is good, let's call them out first and kill most of them. It would be best if this Sun Cheng came out with the boat. After we come out, we will go to land to find his lair to settle accounts, so that we can save a lot of trouble!"

"I think Commander Miao's proposal is good. I am willing to go to land with Commander Cai to find Sun Cheng's lair first, and my lord, you can call them out at sea first, and then kill their fleet. Then that Sun Cheng Even if he doesn't come out, he doesn't have many men left, and if we get rid of his lair, we can reduce a lot of losses!" Li Bo, who usually doesn't talk much, also took the initiative to speak at this time.

Xu Yi felt that after summarizing the opinions of several people, this method should work, and it is also the best method they can think of at present. He is not afraid to fight them, but he is afraid that they will not be found, so he immediately nodded and said: "This plan is feasible. That's it! Li Bo and Cai Xing go ashore first, and go to Sizao Village to check on Sun Cheng's residence. We must find out roughly how many people are in his lair, as well as the surrounding terrain, and then wait for us to deal with him. After that, immediately go to the land to destroy his lair, and take back what belongs to us! Wang Zhi, you take two boats, immediately disguise yourself as a cargo ship, and head north near the sea. We will wait outside. If you try to hijack the ship, find a way to pull them out, let's dig a big hole for him in advance, and then they will be out of control!"

Everyone immediately got up and agreed, and went down to start making preparations.

Risking my life to attend my sister's wedding banquet, please pray for me!Pida can only drink one or two taels, and after two taels, he will get down!I'm exhausted and have a fever again!
