Great Song Pirate

Chapter 509
After hearing Lin Xiong's words, Xu Yi nodded and said to Lin Xiong: "Since you don't think I'm timid and fearful, it's fine. As for my arrangement, I have my reasons. I don’t know who I am, every battle is bound to be defeated, how can I be too cautious when I send Water Cat to investigate the current situation of Cancer Island?” He said to Lin Xiong with a slight teasing smile at the corner of his mouth.

Of course, Lin Xiong has also heard the words of Sun Tzu's Art of War. What Xu Yi said is true, but he still thinks that Xu Yi is a little too cautious in doing this, so he blushed and said thickly, "This... this... Of course the general knows the importance of investigating the enemy's situation, but Cancer Island is such a big place, how many Japanese can it accommodate! What's more, Brother Shui Mao's previous power here is gone, and the Japanese shouldn't be so stupid as to spend tens of thousands of soldiers here. Let’s go to this small island! Besides, they are not gods, so they know that we will come to trouble them these days, and will station a large number of warships here, so... so... Anyway, the general thinks that there will not be many here. Japanese people, with our strength, it should be very easy to deal with them! The last general has such a temper, and his words are not nice, please forgive me, my lord!"

"Well said! Forgive you for your innocence! It seems that brother Lin is really in a hurry! Haha!" After hearing Lin Xiong's words, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, then pointed to Yang Zaixing and said to him: "Zaixing What do you think of my arrangement?"

At this time, Yang Zaixing smiled and came out and replied: "Return to the lord! The general also felt that the lord was a little too cautious just now, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there must be a deeper reason for the lord's arrangement. I don't fully understand the whole story, but the general can guess the reason why the lord arranges this way, there must be a bigger trick! The general thinks that the lord does not value this Cancer Island, and I am afraid it is because of other plans. yes!"

After Yang Zaixing finished speaking, Sun Hai and Li Bo on the side nodded secretly, and even Gao Jun smiled, while that Xiao Jianfeng frowned and tried to think about Yang Zaixing's words, and then relaxed his brows for a while, and laughed too , Lin Xiong turned his head to look at Yang Zaixing, he was a little puzzled by his words.

Xu Yi looked at Yang Zaixing and nodded again and again. He made this plan this time without discussing with too many people. Only Shuimao, Sun Hai, Li Bo and others knew the details, but Yang Zaixing still saw something in his arrangement. There are clues, so he no longer hides these people. Here, there will never be any Japanese insiders or traitors. Those who can enter this cabin are people he absolutely trusts, so he opened his mouth to explain to everyone. Said: "Zai Xing really has the talent of a marshal, and he can see the back move of my plan at a glance, not bad! Since you have already guessed it, then I will tell everyone! My arrangement is actually out of ulterior motives. !

This time I really didn’t take Cancer Island as a big deal. Just like what Lin Xiong said, even if there are Japanese garrisoned on Cancer Island, the number is probably extremely limited. With our current strength, it is easy to win here. , It can even be said that this Cancer Island can be taken lightly without any effort, but I have no intention of doing so!

If this is done, no Japanese from Cancer Island can escape. If no Japanese escape, how can the Japanese know that we are here?So I didn't intend to catch all the Japanese here! "

Hearing what Xu Yi said here, Lin Xiong became even more confused, so he asked: "Then I don't understand, since my lord intends to let the Japanese know that we are coming, why don't you just kill the Japanese on Cancer Island, and then bring us back Why is it so troublesome to go to the land of Wa Kingdom?"

Xu Yi waved Lin Xiong back into the line, and then said to them: "Listen to me before I finish speaking! If we come here this time, if we do what Lin Xiong said, it's okay, and we came very happily. But in this way, we lost an opportunity to solve the Japanese fleet in one fell swoop. After we clean up here, when we attack the Western Kaido of the Japanese, which is their Kyushu Island, it will be difficult to wipe out their fleet. , and when we attack the land, we may be attacked by the enemy. In this way, we will be involved in a lot of energy to gradually clean up their warships along the coast.

Now that we have this Cancer Island as a bait, we have a very good opportunity to call out the fleet that the Japanese gathered last time, and then here we are, waiting for work and killing them all!So my plan is not to use all my strength to attack Cancer Island, but to use only a small number of ships and manpower to attack Cancer Island. I must be able to take it down and let the Japanese there have a chance to escape. They will bring back the news that we came here, and let their grandson cuckold the Emperor Shirakawa furious, and then mobilize the fleet to attack us, and because the information they got is only the fleet we sent to attack Cancer Island Power, never thought that we would have so many ships waiting for them, when they come, they will be happy!

After killing their large fleet at that time, I'm afraid they will have difficulty mobilizing a large number of warships to confront us in a short time. Isn't this West Kaido not for us to come and go freely?Have I made it clear now Brother Lin?Do you have any more questions? "

After hearing Xu Yi's plan, everyone couldn't help applauding secretly. This plan is simply wonderful. Originally, they came from a long way. It is inevitable that they will be careless about their strength. Once they come here, it may not be easy for them to go back!Xu Yi is going to set a bait here, waiting to catch a big turtle!
Now Lin Xiong finally understood Xu Yi's intentions no matter how bad his brain was, so he nodded his head again and again, making his beard tremble with joy, he laughed and said, "Wonderful! It's so wonderful." Now! Now I finally understand, the lord is so powerful, he can come up with such a good idea, it seems that the Japanese people really shouldn't provoke you, lord! Now they have something to look at!"

Xu Yi waved to them and said, "Go down and prepare quickly. Take a rest if you can. Let's do it tonight, and then you can select some elite men to participate in tonight's operation. Although we will use a small number of people tonight Go to attack Cancer Island, but also be careful not to suffer too much loss. Whether the first battle is well fought or not determines our morale. We come here this time without any reinforcements. If one of the soldiers is lost, we will have less It's very difficult to replenish for one person! So we must minimize our losses as much as possible!"

"The general will follow orders!" Yang Zaixing immediately agreed.

"My lord! The general also wants to go with Commander Yang tonight, please agree to the general's request!" Lin Xiong hurried out to invite Zhan.

Xu Yi waved his hand and said to him: "Understood, you are indispensable, and you will fight in the future! Go down and prepare! After the water cat comes back, we will decide how many ships and manpower to use!"

Everyone took orders, left the vertical and horizontal number one after another, and began to prepare.

The fleet just floated on the sea like this, quietly waiting for the news, and those who had nothing to do just lay in the cabin and closed their eyes to rest their minds, accumulating strength mentally and physically, and everyone just watched the sun slowly heading west The sky moved away and gradually sank toward the sea.

The water cat finally rushed back from the direction of Cancer Island at dusk, and docked directly next to the Crossbar. With the assistance of his subordinates, he climbed up the side of the Crossbar, which was as high as a city wall, and met Xu Yi.

Since the generals heard the news of the return of Water Cat's ship, they took sampans and returned to the Crossbar again, and reunited in the large discussion cabin.

"Report to my lord! The general has made a general investigation of the situation in Cancer Island!" Water Cat stepped forward to report to Xu Yi.

"Tell everyone about it!" Xu Yi nodded and said.

"It is true that there are not many Japanese people stationed on Cancer Island. There are only a dozen decent boats, and the rest are small boats. There are only more than 30 in total. The number of people on the island will not exceed 1000. This kind of power is already quite a lot for the Japanese, but what is exasperating is that more than half of these ships are the ships of the former general, and the latter can't wait to go up and kill these bastards immediately!" Shui Mao replied road.

The situation he said was basically the same as what Xu Yi and the others expected when they discussed together. There are indeed not many Japanese people here. Xu Yi immediately sent an order: "If this is the case, then let's prepare, and the water cat obeys the order!"

Water Cat quickly knelt down on one knee to receive the order: "The end is here!"

"This attack on Cancer Island, I order you to be the commander! You lead the selected ships and brothers, we will start to attack Cancer Island before dawn tomorrow, and the battle there will end at dawn. Whether you want it or not, you must do it! Let go of one or two Japanese boats, let them escape, and chase them a little bit, and let them see your boats and number of people clearly at dawn, can you do it?" Xu Yi instructed the water cat .

"The last general has orders! Please don't worry, my lord, the general knows the seriousness of the matter! I will never lose my mind! Thank you, my lord, for my success!" The water cat replied immediately, overjoyed. It would be nice if Yi would at most let him follow him, but Xu Yi actually let him be the chief general and personally lead the troops to attack Cancer Island. He knew that Xu Yi was here deliberately to fulfill him, so he couldn't help being very grateful to Xu Yi.
