Chapter 1053: The Messenger of the Great Turtle Island
If Duobao Island is completely disabled, in the face of the 4,000 sailors led by Wang Junlin, who came across the sea strongly, although there are a lot of pirates, but behind Dami Island and Bailing Island are nominally Great Sui, plus Wang Junlin's murderous reputation has gradually spread in this sea area during this time, if it is not extremely forced, they will not dare to take the initiative to provoke.
The weather is thin and overcast, and the oppressive smell of death pervades Duobao Island.
Facts have proved that Luo Shixin, who was taught by Nie Xiaoyu, was already a brave and resourceful person at a young age, and when he was already sure of victory, he did not take people to attack, but asked people to dismantle six long-range crossbows and catapults on the warship and transport them to the slope on the east side of the city to reassemble.
The long-range crossbows and catapults on the warship are actually miniaturized, but they have enough destructive power against relatively weak walls.
In the military factory in the salt factory of Fanyang County, long-range crossbows and catapults have been produced in components, and the vulnerable parts are made of iron, which is not easy to damage, and it is easy to replace and repair the parts after being damaged.
Six long-range crossbows and six catapults were erected on the slope on the eastern side of the walled city of Duobao Island, and five groups were fired in one go.
Thirty short spear-like crossbow arrows and thirty stone bullets smashed into the city wall and fell into the walled city, and not long after the screams rang out, the pirates' will to fight in the walled city had collapsed.
Although these pirates are fierce, they have not undergone systematic training after all, when have they experienced this kind of offensive and defensive warfare that can only be beaten and have no power to fight back, isn't it the besieging side that uses human lives to fill it? How did it just turn the other way around.
Seeing the white flag raised in the walled city to ask for surrender, Luo Shixin was suddenly overjoyed, thinking that maybe the beautiful palace maid sent by the Silla Kingdom might still be his maid, and it was the kind of personal maid.
……
……
It was raining lightly, Wang Junlin and Yang Kongcian were about to go back to the ship, and Luo Shixin sent someone over there to report the good news, the war on Duobao Island had ended, and Luo Shixin had captured more than 1,600 prisoners of war, including 641 young men, 904 women, and more than 90 children under the age of ten.
"Which countries are these pirates from?" Wang Junlin looked at Luo Shixin, who handed over the finishing work to his subordinates and personally ran over to report again.
"Shibo, most of these people are Goguryeo, but there are also people from Baekje, Silla and Wa, and a small number of us are from the Great Sui, and those women are all from the maritime merchants or the coastal areas of various countries, and the children are all born to pirates and plundered women."
Without investigating, Wang Junlin knew that the men who came in from the pirates were either coerced into the gang or used as coolies. The captive women were naturally divided up like property according to their status and merit, and what was even more miserable was given to the prostitutes for the pleasure of the pirates at the bottom.
Therefore, the composition of pirates is very complicated, and some of them were born on pirate islands, so it can be said that they have been pirates since childhood, but their mothers must have been captive women.
This is not only the case, but also the pirate forces around the world.
"All the pirates who were able to pick up the sword and fight were reduced to coolies and transported to Dami Island, where they had a lot of work to do, and all the women and children were placed on Bailing Island and became ordinary people, and they were treated like the displaced people sent a few days ago, and they were divided into some fields to help them reclaim, and of course if they were not willing to farm, they could also find work to do and pay them wages. You can give them some of the possessions you get from the island, but not too much, just enough for them to live on for a month, and you can do these things yourself, to plan, to arrange, to coordinate, and not to pretend to all the people under your hands. Wang Junlin thought about it for a while, and directly arranged the fate of these people.
Luo Shixin agreed, and went down to do things according to Wang Junlin's orders. Whether it is Wang Junlin or Nie Xiaoyu, they attach great importance to Luo Shixin, Perfume, Shen Guoer and Li Xuanba's ability to do specific practical things and small trivial things, and consciously exercise them.
"Congratulations, my lord, this battle has been labored by more than 1,600 people, which is a lot of labor wealth." Yang Kongcian yawned and stretched his waist, and the charming curve of that moment made Wang Junlin swallow his saliva,
Wang Junlin noticed that Yang Kongcian was looking at him, and withdrew his gaze a little embarrassed, sighed, and said casually: "It's cruel to say, but population is indeed the most important war resource. ”
After a pause, he continued: "In your opinion, how to deal with this treasure island? ”
Yang Kongcian was in good spirits, this was the first time Wang Junlin asked her for advice, it seems that she has consciously shown her mind and strategic ability recently, and sure enough, she has been discovered more by adults.
"My lord, I think that our troops are insufficient, and although this treasure island is not far from Dami Island and Bailing Island, it is also a half-day sea journey, so it is really not beneficial to divide troops to garrison, so I think we should use this treasure island to exchange other interests with the nearby pirate forces." Yang Kongcian pondered for a moment before saying.
After a pause, Yang Kongcian frowned again and said: "However, if the larger pirate forces in the vicinity don't take the initiative to come to the door, it is not easy for us to take the initiative to find each other, so this matter is easy to say, but it is a little troublesome to operate." ”
"You're right." Wang Junlin made no secret of the admiration in his heart, "As for your concerns, don't worry, I think a large pirate force will come to your door soon." ”
Yang Kongcian was taken aback, obviously the clever plan he just said was originally in Wang Junlin's plan, and he had even aimed at the object of the transaction.
"My lord, I don't know which pirate force it is, why did it take the initiative to come to the door." Yang Kongcian looked puzzled.
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Gan Ziqi, the patriarch of the Gan clan, the lord of Da Gu Island, was once the prime minister of Silla, and he was quite capable, and the Gan clan was very powerful in Silla State, so that the lord of Silla was jealous of Gan Ziqi, so he plotted to exterminate the clan, but was discovered by Gan Ziqi in advance, and led his clansmen and generals and servants to escape from overseas and came to Da Gu Island to settle down, but hundreds of clansmen were killed, including Gan Ziqi's four favorite sons, it is said that Gan Ziqi dreamed of avenging the clan, but the national strength of Silla has increased a lot in recent years, Although Gan Ziqi occupied the Great Turtle Island and the three small islands next to it, and had 6,000 sailors with painstaking experience, it was still impossible to take revenge. ”
