The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

In this way, it also attracted the attention of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

They immediately looked at the voice of the two soldiers shouting.

Looking at the coastline in the distance, this look immediately shocked them.Immediately, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

on the coast in the distance.Some small black dots appeared.

If you look carefully at these small black spots, you will find that they are more than a dozen large ships.

Although there are more than a dozen large ships, but because of the distance, it is not possible to fully see who they are.

But in this sea area, both Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai knew about the nearby forces, and it was very unlikely that other people owned more than a dozen large ships.

Those who can own more than a dozen large ships are basically reported by Liu Zheng's subordinates, when and where they will go.

They all have a clear grasp.

It is no surprise that there are some unidentified large ships appearing on the sea right now, this is the pirate they are looking for.

Most of these people attacked the caravan escorted by the naval escort of Commander Cai Mao last time.

They are Zhou Tai who went to patrol the outer sea this time, responsible for catching and destroying the pirates.

"Okay, finally let us wait for these bastards, but let us wait a long time, this time we actually ran into them, then they don't want to escape."

Jiang Qin excitedly taunted the pirates in the distance.

While talking, he picked up his sleeve and drew out his saber, feeling a faint urge to go up and fight these pirates.

Compared to Jiang Qin's eagerness to try, Zhou Tai was calmer.

He didn't expect to lead his fleet directly to the enemy at this time.

Instead, he immediately frowned and calmed down to think about some of these people's situations.

"Brother Jiang Qin, don't worry, first observe the opponent's situation before talking. If you lead troops to attack rashly, the gain will not be worth the loss, and it will not do any good to our army."

Zhou Tai pulled Jiang Qin who was about to lead the fleet to charge.

Seeing Zhou Tai holding him back, Jiang Qin was not impulsive at the moment.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

He asked Zhou Tai a question.

Zhou Tai frowned and explained.

"The number of enemy troops is unknown, and the means are not clear. Although our army has more than 20 large ships, it may not be more familiar with this sea area than the enemy army. It is not good for our army to charge rashly. It is better to wait for these enemy ships to approach and observe Let’s make plans after aboard their warships.”

Zhou Tai wanted to wait for these enemy ships to approach them proactively.Then wait for the opportunity to move.

This method of static braking is indeed more beneficial to them now.

When Jiang Qin heard Zhou Tai's words, he nodded without willfulness and said solemnly.

"Brother, what you said is very true. I was the one who was impulsive just now. I immediately ordered the warships under my command to spread out, form an encirclement circle, and slowly approach the enemy."

After Jiang Qin listened to Zhou Tai's words, he immediately opened his mouth and issued orders to the more than twenty large ships on his side.

They were not completely close together, but dispersed. After hearing Jiang Qin's order at this moment, the ships dispersed again.

Only by spreading the size of the fleet can we wait for the enemy to approach, surround them from the left and right, and completely control the enemy's ships.

Only then did Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's ships separate slowly. Because of the current, some enemy ships gradually approached at this time.

When these enemy ships approached, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai could slowly see that a black flag was hoisted on their ships.

A white tiger is impressively painted on it.

Chapter 887 Yan Baihu

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were taken aback when they saw the black flag.

This black flag looked familiar to the two of them.

"Brother, why does this black flag look so familiar? Could it be that we have seen it somewhere?"

He didn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and asked Jiang Qin who was on the side.

Jiang Qin was also a little dazed at the moment.Looking at the black flag, he fell into deep thought.

But soon he noticed the white tiger on the flag.At this moment, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Black flag, white tiger, isn't this the symbol of Yan Baihu?"

After Jiang Qin saw the white tiger, he immediately thought of something.

Yan Baihu!

When he said this, Zhou Tai, who had some doubts at first, was immediately stunned at this moment.

I understood immediately.

"Yes, Yan Baihu! Why did I forget that Yan Baihu usually hangs such a flag around Poyang Lake."

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, tied with Yan Baihu back then, became one of the four water thieves in the waters of Poyang Lake.

Although the two don't have much contact with each other, they still have some understanding of these water thieves in the Poyang Lake water system.

Besides, Yan Baihu was the most famous water thief in this area back then, with great strength, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai knew Yan Baihu very well, and they knew exactly how powerful Yan Baihu was.

However, a few years ago, after Liu Zheng defeated Yan Baihu, Yan Baihu had disappeared in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Liu Zheng once sent people to chase Yan Baihu, but he didn't get the whereabouts of Yan Baihu. The guy, with a group of people, fled to the sea at last.

As for where Yan Baihu went in the end, neither Liu Zheng nor Jiang Qin knew.

Gradually, Liu Zheng became emperor and ruled the entire Jiangdong. The name Yan Baihu was gradually forgotten and disappeared in the long river of history, but now, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai remembered it again.

"This is Yan Baihu's White Tiger Flag. So, those so-called pirates are actually Yan Baihu's people?"

After seeing each other's flags, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai already understood each other's identity, and at this moment, both of them were a little shocked.

Zhou Tai's deep expression has not changed at this moment, his gaze has been on the pirates opposite him.

I am also looking at these pirates, wanting to see if these people are really Yan Baihu.

Maybe it's just the flags are the same.

"I don't know, let's talk about it after we have a look. If it is really Yan Baihu, then we can kill him by the way, which is considered a great achievement. When the time comes to report to His Majesty, His Majesty will be happy."

After Jiang Qin knew that these pirates were Yan Baihu, he didn't have the initial worries. What's more, he actually wanted to fight Yan Baihu, and then wiped out all these pirates.

It's also good to mix up military achievements. After all, the status of Jiang Qin's navy is not high under Liu Zheng. They don't have many opportunities to appear on the stage, and they can't kill the enemy. As time goes by, it is not Liu Zheng. It is the core combat power of the next generation.

He has long wanted to show off his strength in front of Liu Zheng, but there are not many opportunities to use the navy, and now is the right time.

As long as this group of pirates can be wiped out, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's navy will be able to look good in front of Liu Zheng.

Just when Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were still thinking about whether the pirates who appeared on the opposite side were Yan Baihu or not.

The fleet of these pirates was already approaching them.

Neither Zhou Tai nor Jiang Qin had time to issue passwords to these fleets.

These fleets will attack first.

Shout out in a dialect they don't understand at all.

Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows was shot rapidly from the opposite ship.

Arrows soared into the sky.

Instantly pierced the sky, and countless densely packed arrows shot towards Zhou Tai and the others' boats.

Zhou Tai was still thinking about etiquette before soldiers, and planned to send someone up to inquire after the opponent's ship approached.Who are these people and what are their identities?

But he didn't expect that the other party didn't give him any chance to react at all, and he did it immediately.

Instead, Zhou Tai was slightly taken aback.

But after being stunned, he soon sobered up.

Then immediately let the men under his command launch a counterattack.

The number of these pirates in the enemy army is not too large. Although they have more than a dozen ships, their number should be only three to four thousand.

There are only about 300 people on each ship, because the ships of these pirates are relatively small, unlike the dragon ships around Zhou Tai, they are all re-enlarged ships, which are huge in size and can hold thousands of people at a time. people.

However, because there are many ships, there are not really thousands of people on a ship, and each ship only has more than 500 people.

Zhou Tai's side, which has an advantage in both ships and numbers, has an advantage in numbers even though it is in a passive state. The moment Zhou Tai decided to counterattack, the ships behind him immediately began to blow the horn .

The horn swayed with the waves, and soon more than [-] large ships approached the pirate ships at this time.

The two sides first launched a shower of arrows.

The arrows rained like a shuttle, but because of the relatively long distance, this kind of shooting was not accurate, and it didn't have much effect except for suppressing the enemy's troops.

Instead, it was because Zhou Tai's men were more behind a round of shooting.

The damage to these pirates was even greater.

The two sides engaged in two rounds of shooting.

There are winners and losers.

No casualties, after all, it is not a precise shooting, just shooting two rounds of arrows at each other from a distance is not a powerful attack.

The real competition is the real fight on the deck after the approach of the two ships.

Close combat is the real means of pirates in this era.

Of course, those pirates have no more means to deal with these ships.

But Zhou Tai is different.These large ships under Zhou Tai's command are large ships that have been improved by Liu Zheng himself.

It could have carried thousands of people, but it only carried 500 people. The purpose was that many other stones and giant crossbows were stored on the ship.

These things are Zhou Tai's magic weapon.

"Put the catapult!"

Seeing that the opponent was not suppressed by the two rounds of arrow rain, Zhou Tai simply stopped shooting arrows.

Instead, he immediately pulled out his trump card. These ships were equipped with crossbows and catapults.

Although these things are not as good as the artillery of later generations.However, as a long-distance attack tool, it still has a very strong role in this era.

It is much more powerful than a small attack method like an arrow.

Chapter 888 The Captive

Follow Zhou Tai's order.Those who were responsible for throwing catapults and crossbows immediately acted.

Fill the prepared stones in the position of the trebuchet.

With a burst of bombing from the trebuchet.

Countless stones flew out from the ship, smashing into the ships of these pirates in an instant.

The stones projected by these catapults can even smash through city walls, let alone some warships made of wood.

A burst of bombing from the trebuchet immediately punched holes in the warships of these enemy pirates.

As soon as a hole appeared on the ship, it was declared that the warship was about to be scrapped.

The water at the bottom of the ship continued to pour into the cabin, and the ship began to sink in the process of entering the water.

These pirates who still had such a strong morale were now frightened by the trebuchets of Liu Zheng's army. They have been at sea for so many years, and this is the first time they have encountered such a huge change.

At the beginning, these pirate ships still had some battles, but such obviously unequal weapons made them never think about engaging in long-distance battles with Liu Zheng's navy, but directly drove the remaining ships, Approaching the naval ship.

I want to fight Liu Zheng's navy on the deck.

In close combat, these pirates' knives are sharp and long. In contrast, they have encountered many sea troops before, but they have not been able to gain any benefits under their hands, so the pirates just You can count on victory in close combat.

It's just that after their ships approached the dragon boats of Zhou Tai and others, they realized that these dragon boats were huge, and they were not of the same order of magnitude at all. Even if they got close, they were not deck-to-deck, but shorter than the dragon boats. For a long time, they wanted to get on the dragon boat.

It can only be through the rope, and then slowly climb over.

By the time they took out ropes from the cabin and hooked them to the dragon boat, they had already been shot into countless targets by Zhou Tai's sailors.

Just running to Zhou Tai's men from the decks of their ships, they had lost more than half of their soldiers and horses on the decks of these dragon boats.

When the two sides start to fight hand to hand and fight directly together.
