Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 309 Waiting for news
After Li Ke approached the first pirate's stronghold, he didn't continue to lead the people forward. After all, they were not familiar with sea warfare, and now they needed to check the situation ahead in advance, so he directly gave Su Dingfang an order.

"You take a group of people to explore the road ahead, be careful, don't be discovered."

"But we are at sea now, how do we find the way?"

Su Dingfang really didn't understand Dahai, and after hearing Li Ke's order, he asked questions.

Li Ke was already prepared, because he has been in this place for a while, and he has long been used to the living environment here.

Naturally, he also knew how they explored and navigated the sea, so he explained it to Su Dingfang.

"There is a spare boat on the boat. You take a few people to row the boat, and their stronghold is in front of you. You can go there quietly. They will not move the boats that pass by for a long distance, because there is a high probability that they will just pass by. They generally They won't take the initiative to cause trouble, and our boat is just an ordinary fishing boat, so they probably won't be interested. It's enough to get to know the other party's situation at that time. It doesn't need to go too deep. If you are really in danger, just Come back as soon as possible."

Li Ke told Su Dingfang a lot about Su Dingfang, and listened very carefully. After Li Ke finished speaking, Su Dingfang almost knew how to investigate.

"I see, this is over."

Su Dingfang immediately led a small team and left in a small boat. He was walking in the direction marked on Li Ke's map. They were about half a mile away from that place, and the boat was traveling relatively fast, so Su Dingfang arrived soon. his destination.

He saw a ship from a distance. The ship was very huge, probably more than twice as big as theirs. At a glance, there was no one on the ship, only a few scattered people standing guard.

So Su Dingfang took them and quietly approached the ship. The people standing guard saw them from a distance, but seeing that they were a small ship, few of them didn't care.

Although they are pirates, they are not interested in a ship that has no money to fish for, especially to waste their manpower. In addition, this is their rest time, and they don't want to go out during the rest period.

This is what Zhao Hu and Li Ke said. Zhao Hu suggested that Li Ke go there at this time because he knew that this was their rest time and it was the safest during this period.

Su Dingfang's ship was getting closer and closer to the pirate ships, and he could almost see the situation clearly. At first, he did not see many guards, but that was because of the angle. Outside, the number of pirates is relatively larger, and there are probably people guarding the ship in all four directions.

They observed this place for a while, and found that there are two groups of people, and one group guards one direction. There are four directions in total. After about half an hour, they will change people. During the change period, they will leave that place at the same time. place.

After learning this, Su Dingfang left with his people, and Li Ke had been waiting where he was. When Su Dingfang came back and saw Su Dingfang coming back, he immediately walked out of the boat.

"How? How's the situation?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, we have already detected their patrol situation. Most of the people are inside the cabin and will not come out easily. There are only eight people guarding it. They work in groups of two and guard each other for half an hour in one direction. People will be replaced. We have been watching that place for a while, and we can already determine that this is the pattern."

Li Ke nodded after hearing Su Dingfang's words. The general situation is not too different from what he imagined. Zhao Hu also told him this before, because those pirates are very rampant and have some conceit, so they don't know how to use them. Too many guards.

This is also a symbol of strength for them, which means that they are very powerful and do not need guards at all, even if someone comes to attack, it is useless.

After all, there are a lot of pirates in this sea area. If you don’t prove yourself in this way, you may be attacked, so most of them are just camouflage, but this kind of self-deceiving camouflage can be used by every pirate, so it is much more effective.

But for outsiders like them, it's basically a cover-up.

Li Ke didn't think this was anything. Instead, he thought their weak defense was a good opportunity so that he could easily take them down. Li Ke was now thinking about how to deal with them better. After all, they were on a ship, and their There are many more people than Li Ke's side.

There are not many battles in history where fewer people win more battles, and most of them were based on tricks, so Li Ke felt that he could emulate his predecessors, so he said to Su Dingfang.

"Have you prepared everything you have prepared before?"

Su Dingfang replied immediately after hearing Li Ke's question.

"Of course we are ready. We can set off whenever Your Highness wants us to go."

"Well, let's go first."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he brought his Shu army closer to the pirate stronghold, and soon they were within the visible range of the pirates. Of course, Li Ke didn't want them to find out, because there were too many of them. Yes, once someone finds out, it will cause suspicion, and maybe they will come over to attack them, so he came to this place just to find out where they are. where it stopped.

Because if he wanted to implement his plan, he could only wait until night, but if he was too far away from their stronghold, he might not be able to come here in time.

Therefore, Li Ke had no choice but to take the risk and wait for dark in the place closest to them.

"You have the crossbowmen ready first, and then we just have to wait."

After they stopped, Li Ke's Su Dingfang said.

Su Dingfang nodded, and then went down to deploy their Shu army.

Li Ke waited for the dark in the cabin alone. He didn't have time to tell Chou Nuer what happened this time, so Chou Nuer didn't come with him either.

At this moment, Chou Nuer had already discovered that Li Ke was gone, but no one could answer him where Li Ke had gone. He was a little worried about Li Ke now, but he had no choice but to wait silently for Li Ke to come back.

Zhao Hu knew about this situation, but he did not plan to tell Chou Nuer. If Chou Nuer knew about Xiang Ling and Li Ke's situation, he would probably be anxious again. He thought it would be better to hide it.

Originally, he wanted to reveal some news, but he felt that he might say something wrong, so he just shut up.
