Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 121 Cao Cao's Tigress

The news that the Yongzhou navy is about to go to Nanyang is no secret to the middle and senior generals of the Han army.

Momotaro and Abe, who heard the news, reacted differently.

According to the previous agreement, Tao County was established with the territory of the Tao tribe in the north of Kansai as the county government. Momotaro voluntarily handed over the military power and became the first county governor.

Unlike Momotaro, who returned home happily as the local emperor, the fisherman Abe was eager to go further.

Therefore, Abei proposed to Jian Yong that he was willing to lead the army to the south to help in the war and expand the territory for Zhijinwu.

And because most of the core members of Abbe's team were skilled fishermen, Jian Yong reorganized it into a Japanese navy, allocated a warship and two paddle steamers, and Mi Fang commanded them.

The high speed and high attack power of the three-masted battleship "Sunrise Dongfang" amazed Abbe, and he was in awe of the strength of the Han army again.

Mi Fang pointed to the east coast where Sanhan, Goguryeo and Liaodong bordered, and said to Abbe: "It is said that the remnants of Yamatai pirates are hiding near here. If we destroy them, we will go to Nanyang."

Abei understood, and wanted to join the Yongzhou Navy, and this group of pirates just voted for their certificates.

He even suspected that if he failed to win this battle, he would be reduced to a second-rate army, and he would not even be able to drink soup in Nanyang.

What's more, in the final decisive battle of Yamatai, he was the only one who suffered a disastrous defeat and urgently needed to turn around and rectify his name.

"Marshal, the last general is not talented, and I would like to take the lead!"

Mi Fang laughed, and said, "Okay! This commander will beat the drums for you!"

Three days later, the entire Yongzhou navy was dispatched, five warships and ten transport ships surrounded the target sea area.

Even Qiu Liju mobilized 5000 troops to cooperate from the ground, determined to completely encircle and wipe out this group of cunning Japanese pirates.

As the Yongzhou navy shrinks the encirclement, the Japanese pirates obviously realize that their lair has been discovered and they can only fight against the land.

More than [-] large and small ships rushed out of the bay covered by dense forests, aiming directly at Abbe's "Sunrise East".

In naval combat, bows and crossbows are given priority. If you want to quickly defeat enemy ships, fire attack is the most effective means.

As a result, three small boats loaded with firelights collided at high speed.

Abbe is worthy of being an old fisherman, and his time calculation is extremely accurate.

The four paddle wheels spun quickly, and the sixteen long oars slapped the water surface in unison, using a forceful move of "Dragon Waving Tail", out of the opponent's attack range.

The two catapults at the bow and stern of the ship were flawless, and easily destroyed three suicide boats that were emitting fireworks.

The start went smoothly, and the Yongzhou Navy's confidence soared, and they began to work together to encircle and wipe out the Japanese pirates.

Nearly half of the small pirate ships were sunk or captured, leaving more than a dozen large ships still trying to escape.

It's a pity that the sky failed to fulfill its wish, and the battle lasted until noon, and the wind and sea were calm.
Facing the new warships with fast sail paddle wheels and long oars, pirate ships that can only paddle are like clumsy turtles.

The Yongzhou navy, headed by five battleships, was like five sharks, freely shuttled among the pirate ships, and waves of arrows and ballistas hit the pirate ships with many casualties.

In the end, the leader of the Japanese pirates had to issue an order to disband and flee separately.

However, the ten peripheral transport ships also have a certain degree of lethality, so none of them slipped through the net.

The sun was setting towards the west, and most of the pirate ships either surrendered or sank to the bottom of the sea. On the sea surface, only the ship of the pirate leader remained, stubbornly resisting.

Abe saw the opportunity, stuck it, fired the barb crossbow, and took control of the paddle ship made by Kuaiji Dockyard that was seized by pirates.

"Jump to fight!"

Abe gave an order, and more than 50 sailors wore only loincloths, daggers in their mouths, and swung ropes, ready to go.

While other sailors held bows and crossbows, one by one, they killed the pirates on the opposite side.

The pirates who were passively beaten were scattered and hid. They couldn't jump to the gang, because the deck of the battleship was too high to jump on.

As the ships came together, Abbe immediately yelled, "Jump!"

"Hoohoo!"

Dozens of figures jumped up from the battleship, swung the ropes, and landed on the pirate ship in the air.

The Japanese sailors rolled and landed on the deck, and then they clenched the daggers in their mouths, fighting hand-to-hand with the remnants of the pirates in groups.

Those pirates hiding in the corner can no longer hide.

Seeing that the situation was not good, some abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and some jumped into the sea. Only the pirate leader in full body armor rushed left and right with a long knife in hand, beheading several people one after another.

"Ahh! Kill, kill, kill!"

Abe on the warship couldn't help reminding loudly: "Use a net!"

No matter how fierce the thief is, he is no match for the fishing net.

Sure enough, a sailor pulled a thick net and threw it at the pirate leader.

These fishermen have unparalleled skills in using nets, no matter how the pirate leader dodges, the nets will cover him.

Four or five sailors swarmed up, pushed the opponent down, and stabbed him wildly, breaking all the tendons in the opponent's hands and feet.

According to statistics after the war, nearly a thousand pirates were killed, more than [-] were captured, and the leader of the Japanese pirates, Yuichi Black Tooth, was captured.

At this point, the strongest Japanese pirates who fled to the seas of Dongying and Sanhan were wiped out.

As the Sunrise Vostok, which had been rushing forward, Abe suffered the most losses, with more than [-] people killed and more than [-] injured.

Mi Fang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job, you should pick all the captured ones first."

Abei's face changed from cloudy to cloudy. It is said that the total amount of goods that Black Tooth robbed was 20 taels.

According to the provisions of the distribution of seizures, Zhijin Wu took half, Yongzhou Navy took the remaining half, and the rest was divided equally among the soldiers.

This means that the five battleships are divided into 10 taels of silver, the Japanese navy can be divided into 2 taels of silver, and they can get 1 taels of silver.

As for the pensions for the casualties of the sailors, there is a special fund from the Yongzhou Navy, and Abe does not need to pay for it.

What a deal!

The Yongzhou navy returned to the military port of Fujun, Kyushu, and replenished personnel and supplies. With the sound of the horn, the Yongzhou navy sailed directly south to Kuaiji.

At Kuaiji Military Port, Zhang Cheng is receiving the Royal Navy Commander Gan and Ji Ling and his party.

Qiao Rui, the captain of the Royal Navy, chose to stay behind because he couldn't stand the rough waves because of his age.

Seeing the Jinfan thief get off the boat, Zhang Cheng smiled and bowed his hands: "It's better to be famous when you meet! Zhang, on behalf of all the colleagues of Shunfeng, has always been merciful to the governor of Gan."

The scale of SF's water transportation is not large, but the Yangtze River runs up and down, and the name of Jinfan thief has been heard more or less, but it is not lucky that they have never run into each other.

Gan Ning is a man of wisdom and bravery, who can be provoked and who can't be provoked, and his heart is like a mirror, so even if he is greedy for the cargo ship of the SF Express, he will stay away from it.

Today's Zhang Cheng has an unusually high status, and ordinary county guards are polite.

Therefore, Gan Ning, who is less than 20 years old, is basically a junior, so it is okay to make a joke or two.

Gan Ning laughed loudly and said: "Young Master Ning's nonsense made Zhang Dong laugh. This time I was appointed by General Fu Bo to contact you. Please give me some advice."

Ji Ling also bowed his hands and asked, "I wonder when General Mi will arrive?"

Zhang Cheng thought for a while, and replied: "If there is no change, within three days. Oh, by the way, General Cai He returned from Jiaozhi yesterday, and I will introduce you later."

Ji Ling knew that Cai He was from the Cai family in Xiangyang, and was the commander of the navy of Cao Cao, the leader of Badi.

This time, the three companies jointly marched into Nanyang. The strength of Badi Navy is second only to Yongzhou Navy, and Yongba generally wears crotch pants.

Gan Ning and Ji Ling looked at each other, they both knew what was going on.

For a tough battle, the Royal Navy is definitely not as good as the two opposite sides, so they have to save face.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"

Cai He, who was in a circle, was carefully inspecting the warship when he saw a subordinate rushing aboard.

At the same time, a fire broke out in the backyard of Cao Mansion in Hanzhong, and Boss Cao was devastated.
