Great Song Pirate

Chapter 435
In the next two days, a huge fleet sailed away from the port of Toulon. Most of the fleet consisted of square boats. Even the modified square boats used by Yang Zaixing's infantry were requisitioned. Under the escort of the warship, they sailed towards the north.

But it was Li Bo who commanded this fleet, and even the Pioneer ship assigned to Sun Hai was requisitioned by him, fully loaded with all the recent property, and more than 3000 Zhanren who surrendered to them turned back to Liuqiu Island.The reason why Li Bo was chosen as the commander of the fleet this time was because Xu Yi received news that Li Bo's wife had given birth to him another son, which made Li Bo so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut all day long. The goods are extremely important to them, and there must be no mistakes. After Xu Yi thought about it for a while, he finally decided to let Li Bo come for such a trip. Li Bo also knew the importance of the goods this time, and finally agreed to Xu Yi's offer. arrange.

When Li Bo was about to leave, he repeatedly asked Daniel, Cui Yan and other personal guards to keep Xu Yi safe, and if they caused Xu Yi to lose a hair, let them be careful. Chest made a poisonous oath to Li Bo, promising not to let Xu Yi make any mistakes, so Li Bo boarded the ship and left Toulon Port.

And the occupying tent also followed Li Bo on board the Pioneer, and according to Xu Yi's instructions, went to Danshui Village to report to Gao Jun, incorporated his subordinates into the Fubo infantry, and served in the Fubo army ever since .

Among those who saw him off, Sun Hai was the most reluctant to part with him. Seeing that he was being taken away by Li Bo after he was warmed up just now, his heart was full of tears, and his grief was palpable. What is beyond friendship.

After sending away these soldiers, Toulon became quiet again, and finally a hidden danger was eliminated, and Xu Yi was relieved a lot.

At this time, Abu Alan, the King of Zhan, who was far away from the meeting, looked at the big iron spear presented under the tent, and felt that his brain was a bit out of control. After sending him out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no more news. These days, he has been thinking about this matter all day long, but he did not expect that this thing was sent to him in Li Chao's camp today. Di Polo followed He didn't have a short time, and he could tell at a glance that the big iron spear presented below was his convenient weapon, but he didn't expect it to appear in front of him so suddenly today.

"What did the person who sent this lance say?" Abu Alan asked the guards below, suppressing the trembling in his heart.

The guard below replied cautiously: "The Annan man who brought the big lance said that the entire army holding this big lance has been wiped out in Toulon, and no one has escaped!"

Abu Alan overturned the table when he heard this, and roared, "I don't believe it! Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! How could the Annan people get this big lance?"

"Responding to His Majesty, the Annan man said that this lance was a gift from the Skeleton Army, but now they have handed it over to us!" The guard said more carefully.

"This skeleton army, I will swear against them, come! I will pour all my troops to capture Toulon, and I will kill those damned skeleton army!" Abu Alan was furious like a lion, like a madman. He roared in general.

When some ministers came to his big tent, Abu Alan shouted to them with red eyes: "You came at the right time, I will send troops to Toulon, and I will kill all the skeleton army there!"

Looking at Abu Alan who was furious, the ministers below were a little afraid. Only one veteran came out and said, "Your Majesty calm down! Can the old minister ask Your Majesty why you are so angry?"

Seeing that it was his uncle who was speaking below, Abu Alan restrained his anger somewhat, and replied in a deep voice: "The skeleton army really bullied me too much. They killed all the soldiers and horses of Dipolo I sent. Humiliated me by giving Dipolo’s big lance to the Annan people! It’s really disrespectful to us! I swear, if I don’t avenge this revenge, I will not be a human being! Also, immediately go to Uma General Zhipeng's whole family will be arrested and executed on the spot, no one will be left behind, we Zhanren don't need such cowards!"

The old minister below frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty calm down first, I must say that you were at fault first, and you shouldn't have sent Dipolo to attack Toulon in the first place!"

Abu Alan's eyes immediately widened, but when he saw the old minister below, he suppressed his anger with all his strength, took a deep breath and said, "What's wrong with me? The Skeleton Army refused to cooperate with us at the beginning, and took the opportunity They want to blackmail us with 50 taels of silver, and they have taken Toulon which belongs to us, so what is wrong with me sending troops to take back our territory?"

The veteran didn't betray Abu Alan's face at all, and immediately shook his head and said, "No! You're wrong! Let me ask Your Majesty, who is our biggest enemy?"

Abu Alan was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately said, "Of course he is from Annan! Do you need to ask?"

The old minister then continued: "It seems that Your Majesty has not completely lost his mind, and knows that our biggest enemy is the Annan people! But since Your Majesty knows that Annan is our real enemy, why do you want to provoke that skeleton at this time?" What about the army? We have been bullied by the Annan people for so long, and only this time we have gained the upper hand. We are about to regain our lost ground from the Annan people, but I didn’t expect you to make such a bad move at this time, Your Majesty. To divide the troops to attack Toulon, a small place, and to anger the terrifying skeleton army! What your Majesty did this time is really unwise! Unwise!"

Abu Alan was brought up by his uncle, so he was a little afraid of this uncle since he was a child, but at the same time he respected his opinion very much, but he didn't expect that his uncle would accuse him in front of so many people today, So I couldn't hold back and said: "Uncle, what do you mean? Is it wrong for me to take back our territory? Besides, is the skeleton army so terrible? They are just a bunch of pirates from the Song Dynasty. Can you be afraid of them?"

The old minister shook his head vigorously and said: "Your Majesty still doesn't understand, you still haven't woken up! During this period of time, our victory in the battle with the Annan people has made you a little dizzy! Let me ask you! Are the Annan people stupid in your eyes? Annan Are all soldiers cowards?"

Although he was very upset that his uncle spoke to him like this, Abu Alan restrained his emotions, shook his head and said, "Of course not! The Annan people are actually very difficult to deal with! Otherwise, we wouldn't have fought them for so long!"

"That's right! Since the Annan people are not cowards or idiots, they were beaten so helplessly by the skeleton army that they finally cede land and pay compensation to the skeleton army, which became a big laughing stock of them. During this period Didn't His Majesty pay attention to the news from Annan? This skeleton army first conquered Dazhanhaikou, defeated the Annan army stationed there, and then conquered their Huazhou, razed it to the ground, and later in In the Battle of Mae Island, the elite naval forces of the Annan people were wiped out, and they attacked several coastal states and counties in Annan one after another. All the soldiers and rations of the Annan people were taken up, and the elite imperial guards of the Annan people were defeated, which forced King Annan to seek peace with them. Don’t you know these things? If the skeleton army is as easy as you think, Your Majesty If we deal with it, I am afraid that the Annan people will not cede Toulon to them!" The veteran continued to say mercilessly.

Only then did Abu Alan come to his senses, and a thin layer of sweat began to emerge on his forehead. What his uncle said was indeed true, and he did despise the skeleton army a little bit, but he still tried his best to defend himself: "Even if they No matter how powerful they are, they are still a bunch of thieves after all, how can we be afraid of them?"

The veteran said sadly: "How can Your Majesty not wake up at this time? You have been fooled by the Annan people, especially without knowing it. The reason why the Annan people handed Toulon over to the skeleton army so happily is precisely I hope that when we fight the Skeleton Army, no matter who we lose, they will benefit, and today I give you this big lance of Dipolo, and I hope that you will immediately send out a large number of troops to deal with the Skeleton Army. They can breathe a sigh of relief, and even fear that the Annans will be involved in the killing of Emperor Polo this time. Now that the Annans are at the end of their battle, if His Majesty is really sending troops to conquer Toulon now, wouldn’t he be fooled by the Annans? Wasn’t our previous efforts in vain? Once the Annan people are slowed down, then all our efforts in sending troops this time will be in vain! According to the old minister, not only can we not attack the skeleton army now , and we have to fix it with them, and we can't let them stab us in the back at this time!"

After listening to his uncle's words, Abu Alan finally calmed down, sat down on the couch slowly, lowered his head and meditated, and after a long time, he raised his head and said to his uncle: "Thank you uncle for reminding me in time, this time I really I did a stupid thing and almost got fooled by Annan's traitors. Now, as you said, let's ignore the skeleton army for the time being and deal with Annan's people with all our strength! How is our elephant array prepared now? Once the elephant formation appears this time, we must completely defeat the Annan people and drive them out of our land!"

Seeing that Abu Alan had come to his senses, his uncle finally heaved a sigh of relief and retreated. A Zhan general came out and replied, "The two hundred war elephants we have secretly trained are ready to go into battle!"

Abu Alan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he immediately waved his hands and ordered: "The whole army presses down, this time we must defeat the Annan people's defense line in one fell swoop! Send troops!"

In the Annan camp, Li Yuanfeng was also discussing this matter with his subordinates, and he asked, "Has the lance of Dipoluo been given to Abu Alan?"

A guard immediately agreed: "According to the command of the marshal, Dipolo's lance has been handed over to the Zhanren, and it may have been placed in front of Abu Alan at this time!"

Li Yuanfeng nodded: "I hope this tyrannical guy can follow our schedule and use his troops against the Skeleton Army. This Skeleton Army is really powerful. Even Di Polo, who is so powerful, will be killed by them in one fell swoop. The fate of no bones left, it seems that it was no accident that we were defeated by the skeleton army. This skeleton army is more terrifying than we imagined before. All the elite soldiers were wiped out, we must never provoke this skeleton army again!" When Li Yuanfeng said this, a trace of panic appeared on Li Yuanfeng's face.

And his generals also nodded slightly. This time Zhandi Polo led the army to attack Toulon. When they first expected, they just thought that it would be good if there were so many skeletons to defend Toulon, but when When the news came, they knew that Dipolo was defeated by the skeleton army and wiped out by the whole army, and the occupying navy army was even worse. After the first battle, the whole army surrendered, and they all became skeletons. It can be seen that the Skeleton Army is not only terrifying on the sea, but also a terrifying army on land. A general came out and asked: "General Emer thought that Abu Alan suffered such a big loss from the Skeleton Army this time. We will definitely not let it go, and we will divide our troops to attack Toulon in a big way, so we can breathe a little bit! This time, I did not expect that the Zhanren would be so difficult to deal with. We used to suppress them before, but this time they were able to sweep away the decline. , Consecutively captured so many of our places!"

Li Yuanfeng looked up at the south, sighed and said: "Zhanren should not be underestimated. Ever since Abu Alan became king, Zhanren was once again united by him, which is why the current situation has occurred. I hope this Abu Alan can make another mistake, otherwise, our situation is really worrying! Don't be careless, although we have given Dipolo's weapons to the Zhanren, it doesn't mean that the Zhanren are all idiots. People with knowledge, if they are not fooled, then this time they will definitely use all their troops and horses to attack us aggressively. You must take strict precautions! We must block the Zhan people here, and we cannot let them advance halfway. step!"

The generals immediately bowed to say hello, turned around and left the big tent, and continued to deploy their defenses.

In front of the two armies of the Annan people and the occupying people, the battle drums were rumbling, and the two sides were fiercely attacking and defending. In terms of military strength, the Annan people were obviously at a disadvantage. Retreating slowly, as a last resort, in order to reduce losses, Li Yuanfeng had to give up this line of defense again, and retreated to the back of the trench that had just been built, and shot the position with bows and arrows, finally blocking Zhan Ren's fierce attack temporarily.

"Master Marshal! Abu Alan was not fooled. He has not yet sent a single soldier to attack Toulon, but has increased his troops here again. If this continues, we may really be unable to withstand it! Many places More than half of the soldiers have been killed and wounded, if the fight continues, they will not be able to hold on!" said Li Yuanfeng, who immediately stood under the commander's banner with a worried countermeasure.

And Li Yuanfeng's complexion was also very ugly at this time. The reason why he gave Abu Alan the lance of Emperor Polo sent by the skeleton army was to hope that Zhanren would not be able to stand this kind of stimulation, and a large number of troops would be sent to attack the soil. Lun, let the skeleton army share some of their pressure, but now it seems that his plan has failed, so he turned his head and asked, "Is there any movement from the skeleton army in Toulon?"

A lieutenant general in charge of military affairs immediately replied: "The news we sent back from Toulon said that it is very quiet there now. The Skeleton Army is building a large-scale construction there to expand the dock there. They just set up checkpoints at several mountain passes and sent some scouts. , patrolling the edge of the Toulon territory, did not make any moves, but they have sent all the captured Zhan people out of Toulon a few days ago, and their whereabouts are unknown. Apart from this, there is no sign of sending troops! "

A general next to him interjected: "Why did this skeleton army suddenly change its nature? Based on what they have done before, even if the Zhanren don't attack them, they should send a fleet to attack the Zhanren! Why is this? Why did it stop so silently this time?"

Li Yuanfeng glanced in the direction of Toulon, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Skeleton Army is really going to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight this time. I didn't expect them to have such smart people who see the situation so clearly. We still look down upon it." Stop these pirates! They don't want any of us to take advantage of them now, so we can't offend them! Inform our soldiers stationed outside Toulon that no one should provoke these skeletons at this time Army, don't let them cause us any more trouble at this time!"

The lieutenant general in charge of the military situation immediately bowed to his orders, turned around and went down to arrange for someone to pass the order, but behind the Zhanren line opposite the Annans, suddenly the sound of fierce drums began to sound again, and the Zhanren soldiers and horses once again slammed into the drums. Under the urging, he slowly approached the Annan people's defense line.

All Annan's soldiers stood up from the ground one after another, clenched the weapons in their hands again, and the archers took a step forward, putting arrows on the bowstring.

"Look, Marshal, what's behind Zhanren?" A lieutenant suddenly pointed at Zhanren's Chinese army formation and called out to Li Yuanfeng.

Li Yuanfeng hastily raised his eyes to watch vigorously, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his calm face, and he whispered: "Xiangzhen! This is too bad..."
