Chapter 261 Suicide Charge
In the Huzi family's territory, plus those divided Tuzhai, there were a total of five cities. In order to fight the Luo family, Huzi Zhengyou transferred almost all the soldiers in the city. Therefore, Zhengliang followed the route of the detective fan's prior investigation and headed towards the five cities.
Every time he passed by a city wall, Zhengliang ordered people to take the heads of Huzi Zhengyou and those important figures of the Huzi family to persuade them to surrender. There were only a few peasant soldiers left in the city wall to guard. When they saw those heads and got the promise of not killing, they all decisively opened the door to surrender. The only exception was the city of Huzi family. Although Huzi Zhengyou died, there were still many members of the Huzi family living here. Even though Zhengliang personally promised not to kill after surrender, the people inside were still unwilling to surrender.
In desperation, Zhengliang had to let someone attack. Under the fierce attack of more than 100 people, the main city with only a dozen guards was soon lost. After capturing the city, Zhengliang issued an order to slaughter the clan without hesitation. All the male men in the city, regardless of their size, were identified as being from the Huzi clan or had excellent relationship with the Huzi family, and they would not hesitate to kill them. Since you are willing to resist, don't blame me for being ruthless.
After occupying the five cities, Zhengliang's regular footholds were basically assigned to the city walls to be responsible for the clearing and receiving territory. So when he arrived at the Huzi family's naval port, Zhengliang was left with only forty cloaks and twenty low-level warriors.
At this time, the Huzi family's naval base had been occupied by the Luo family's naval army.
Why is the Huzi family's naval base so easy and even almost no battles happened? That's because when the Luo family's naval army launched an attack, almost all the Huzi family's ships ran to the Zuzi family's naval base to confront the Zuzi family's naval army. In addition, the Luo family's invasion occurred on land. The foot of the Luo family, who was responsible for guarding the port, was also transferred away, so it gave the Luo family's naval army a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It was almost dusk now, and Zhengliang was on a small post at the port and looked up at the sea. He saw three teams of naval troops confronting the sea outside the port.
Near the port is the Luo family's naval army. This time, almost all the Luo family's naval army was dispatched. The pirates on the Ribi Peninsula, which is close to the Luo family's naval base, have been destroyed, and the naval base is no longer threatened, so the Luo family's naval army was able to attack with all its strength. In addition to leaving several small-zao staying at the base, the Luo family's naval army dispatched six clearance ships and fifty small-zao, and 60 regular naval troops and 150 temporary mobilization fishermen.
At the same time, a huge sailboat was docked behind the Luo Family Navy. Its huge hull made the Luo Family Gun ship in front of him look quite small. This ship was Zhu Qinfeng's ship. After launching the strategy of Huzi family, Zhengliang wrote a letter to Zhu Qinfeng who was on vacation at the Luo Family Port, asking his ship to follow the Luo Family Navy to Jiabu Island of the Huzi family Navy. However, there was no need to use force to help throughout the journey, he just needed to follow the Luo Family Navy. For this reason, Zhengliang had to pay a price of 250 taels of gold.
It was precisely because of Zhu Qinfeng's help that the Huzi family's naval army was prompted to return to the rescue. However, they did not dare to act rashly, and even after learning that the land was being attacked, they did not dare to send people ashore to support. You should know that although the Huzi family's naval army had only seventy ships, there were as many as twenty ships. They had an advantage in strength. At this moment, more than 100 meters away from the Luo family's naval army, the Huzi family's naval army was eyeing the occupied port with great enthusiasm.
Further beyond the sea, several ships were docked, and one of them could be vaguely identified as a ship.
"What's the situation?" Zhengliang asked after seeing the situation on the sea clearly.
"Your Highness. Not long after my family occupied the port here, the Huzi family, who was confronting the Satsushi family, returned urgently to help. However, it seemed quite taboo to come to support our family's southern barbarian ships, so now they confronted our family's naval army." A detective who stood behind Masayoro reported.-.-
"What's the matter with the few ships in the distance?"
"It was the ship patrolling the waterway of the Matsuura family. After receiving the information here, they rushed over immediately, but they seemed to have no intention of intervening," replied the detective.
"Well, take those heads and go to Sun Wulang, and ask him to send these heads and the news of the surrender of the family to the Huzi family's fleet," said Zhengliang. Those heads are the heads of Huzi Zhengyou and others. The Huzi family territory on the land is basically all surrendered. Although there may be some stubborn people who will resist, they are just mantis blocking the chariot and will be destroyed sooner or later. Then these heads are no longer useful. Therefore, Zhengliang is preparing to let them use their final remaining energy to surrender those naval armies.
Losing land or even losing the master's naval army is equivalent to cutting off the foundation. With the demise of the master's family, Zhengliang believes that some of the Huzi family's naval army will definitely surrender.
The Matsuura family's naval ships were ignored. The battle with the Huzi family today will definitely be known to the powerful afterwards. However, these powerful people will not be able to react tomorrow as soon as possible. Then the Luo family has been calmly arranged and digested for an afternoon and evening. When it comes to Mingri, it is enough to cope with the reactions from all parties.
"Send the order, light the smoke screen, and hang up the main flag of our family at the port." After the investigation, Zhengliang continued to order. Although he was sent to the head of the main figures of the Huzi family, some diehard people may not give up. What Zhengliang has to do now is to tell those people in this way that the Huzi family has perished and the territory has been occupied by the Luo family, and there is no chance of turning the tables again. You can give up.
Soon, a thick smoke rose nearby. The place where the thick smoke was raised was located in a deeper place in the Huzi family territory. This place not only considered allowing ships on the sea to see it, but also tried to approach the main city of Huzi family. If it was only set off at the port, the other party might not believe it. After all, the port has been occupied by the Luo family.
After giving these instructions, Zhengliang stood quietly on the hills and watched from afar the movements of the Huzi family naval forces.
Sure enough, less than half an hour, the Huzi family's naval army suddenly started to move. Two ships rushed out of the Huzi family's fleet and quickly headed towards the Luo family's fleet.
Hum? Are you here to surrender? Seeing this scene, Zhengliang couldn't help but wonder.
No! Damn it, that was the one who came to invite the battle. Zhengliang finally saw the movements of the people on the ship. It was obvious that he was mobilizing the war! These damn loyalists.
Ah? What are those guys doing? Just as Zhengliang was about to see how his navy army responded, a surprising scene appeared. All the Luo family navy troops took the initiative to give up a waterway.
Then, it moved! Yes, the big ship that had been following the Luo family's naval army moved.
Seeing this situation, Zhengliang was immediately covered in dark lines. All fools knew that it was the big ship who was preparing to deal with the two enemy ships that were coming quickly.
But, Brother Zhu? Didn’t I tell you that you can just follow the Luo family’s naval army? Don’t you feel embarrassed to do nothing because you have received my money!
In fact, Zhengliang is very contradictory about the use of this Southern Barbarian ship. It would be best if Zhengliang and Zhu Qinfeng had a friendship with him, and it would be the best thing to invite him to participate in the battle directly. However, Zhengliang had two concerns. The so-called big tree attracts wind. Once the ship becomes famous or even becomes famous, then those big crocodiles will be moved and use various tricks to seduce Zhu Qinfeng. Although Zhu Qinfeng's sympathy is very wise, and even the emperor, he will not sell the bill. But what if he meets someone he likes?
What made Zhengliang even more contradictory was that he was even more afraid that Zhu Qinfeng would use artillery in battle. In terms of his hobby of lovable wind, this would almost happen 100%. That would be a bad thing. In a word, the cannon sounded aroused the bringing of the Warring States firearm era. Zhengliang is not the only one who is sensitive to firearms. Don’t underestimate anyone. Even in this Warring States era, there are definitely some people with distant knowledge. At that time, even if those people don’t go to Zhu Qinfeng, they will definitely find ways to learn about these weapons from other channels.
The Luo family does not have the ability to prevent the arrival of the firearm era. Even if it is stopped, it will only be delayed for one or two years. After all, the development of the times cannot be hindered by one or two people. But at least when the waves of the times are coming, the Luo family must first prepare for the huge waves.
Therefore, when he saw Zhu Qinfeng's ship start to move, Zhengliang's heart was very complicated. However, everything was too late. Not to mention whether Zhu Qinfeng was willing to obey Zhengliang's request, even if he was willing to obey, Zhengliang could not stop it. When the people he sent to walk on Zhu Qinfeng's ship, he probably had already sunk the two closed ships.
Well, things have come to this point, it’s useless to think too much. Let’s be prepared to deal with it. Zhengliang thought with his fate.
Just as Zheng Liang was about to leave fate, the development of things once again exceeded his expectations. One of the two Guan Shi ships that were quickly attacking the Luo family's naval army suddenly slowed down.
Zhengliang hurriedly looked at the ship's shutdown, and saw that the sailors on the ship were jumping out of the sea. When the people on the other ship saw this scene, some sailors also followed suit and jumped into the water. In this way, the two ships, who were originally planning to launch suicide attacks, suddenly slowed down after losing some of the sailors.
