In fact, the whole battle ended after just over an hour, the pirates' ships were burned and sunk dozens, the rest of the ships fled without a trace, and a dozen unburned warships were still burning with fire, which also illuminated the entire sea, and even the bright moon in the sky was dyed red. The chapter is provided by the web to read online countless wrecks of masts, corpses, flags and other objects floating on the sea, and some pirates are still struggling in the sea.

Yang Yan stood on the seashore and ordered someone to rescue the pirates who fell into the water, at this time the warships of the Song army also came back, one by one, Li Gongzuo got off the boat, walked to Yang Yan to meet him, and said: "Commander, the enemy has retreated, we have probably sunk twenty or thirty ships, captured seven pirate ships, and captured more than three hundred pirates in total." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "How about our casualties?" ”

Li Gongzuo said: "Don't worry, this one killed more than 20 brothers, and more than 100 soldiers were injured. In terms of warships, not a single ship was sunk, only four were slightly damaged, and repairs were fine. ”

Yang Yan smiled at this time: "Then this battle is a complete victory." ”

Li Gongzuo was a little regretful, and said: "It's just that I only have forty-seven ships in this battle, and it's too dark to see where Meng Heng's ship is, if I have a hundred ships this time, I can completely annihilate this pirate fleet and capture Meng Heng alive." It's just a pity that such a good opportunity to ambush pirates. ”

Yang Yan said with a smile: "Li Tong, this time the ambush defeated the pirates, our army was almost undamaged, this is a very good result, you should be content to be a man, think that Meng Heng has been on the sea for more than 20 years, but it is not so easy to be caught." What's more, if we can't catch him this time, there will be another chance, and the situation in the South China Sea is not unfolding step by step as we planned? Sooner or later, Meng Heng will be caught by us, and the plague of piracy in the South China Sea will be completely calmed down. ”

Li Gongzuo nodded and said, "The commander is right, but the general is a little greedy and insufficient......

The two were talking, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and saw Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia leading more than a dozen soldiers flying horses from the west, and when Yang Yan approached, Ling Xiang dismounted and said: "Yang Shuai, the fleet attacking Xiushan has retreated, and now Wu Tongzhi is still on guard at the seaside, first ask me to send you a letter, so as not to discourage you, how is the situation here?"

It turned out that although Yang Yan estimated that Xu Hai would definitely act depending on the success or failure of Meng Heng's side, Yang Yan did not dare to be careless, and sent Wu Xi and Ling Xiang to lead three thousand men and horses to guard Xiushan. Sure enough, Xu Hai, Cheng Donglin and Ma Ye led more than 2,000 pirates and seventy ships to form a fleet, and when they arrived near Xiushan, they immediately anchored and sent people to inquire about the progress of Meng Heng's side. When Xu Hai heard this, he immediately ordered the fleet to retreat.

However, Wu Xi was also very cautious, afraid that Xu Hai would have some tricks and go and return, so he still led his troops to guard the Xiushan Seaside, and only asked Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia to send a letter to Yang Yan first.

Yang Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's going well here, we have just defeated the pirate army led by Meng Heng. ”

A few people were talking, and they saw a group of Song troops coming from the east, led by Han Zhaojing and Meng Lanjun, as soon as they saw Yang Yan, the two immediately dismounted and came to Yang Yan.

Han Zhaojing originally followed Gao Zhen to lead 5,000 men and horses to guard Panyu and ambush the pirates led by Meng Lanjun.

Sure enough, Meng Lanjun led forty boats, and as soon as more than 1,500 people arrived in Panyu, according to the plan agreed with Yang Yan before, they immediately got off the boat and kicked ashore, and rushed into the encirclement of the Song army. Meng Lanjun threw down his weapon as he had discussed before, and he was captured. Seeing that the leader took the initiative to surrender, the others also abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and in this way, Gao Zhenbing grabbed all of Meng Lanjun's men without blood.

Then Gao Zhen took the captured pirates into custody separately, and immediately released Meng Lanjun, and asked Han Zhaojing to bring Meng Lanjun to see Yang Yan and see Yang Yan's next instructions.

Han Zhaojing told Yang Yan everything that happened in Panyu. Yang Yan said to Meng Lanjun: "Miss Meng, how many people you brought are inclined to Meng Heng's side."

Meng Lanjun said: "My lord, this time I have brought all the people who are inclined to Meng Heng, and only more than 300 of the more than 1,500 people are my henchmen, and the others are all inclined to Meng Heng." It's just right to catch them. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, you just do what I say." ”

Meng Heng's fleet sailed out for more than 30 miles in one go, until the sky was bright, there were only more than 30 ships left around, and many of them were still smoking. On the one hand, he sent people to collect the other ruined and scattered ships in Longlong, and on the other hand, he sent people to inquire about the news of Meng Lanjun and Xu Hai.

After stopping on the edge of the island for two hours, dozens of ships were collected one after another, and Meng Heng checked that 57 boats were lost in this battle, and more than 1,500 people were killed in the battle, of which 36 ships belonged to Meng Heng, and more than 1,000 people died. This is a fiasco that Meng Heng has never had since he started the pirate business.

Meng Huiming said: "Dad, I think someone must have leaked our secrets to Song Jun this time, and Song Jun completely ambushed us on the shore in advance, just waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net." ”

Meng Jiming slapped the side of the boat and said angrily: "It was that bastard who leaked our plan to the Song army, if I find out, I will definitely not spare him." Big brother, you said who would betray us. ”

Meng Huiming said: "In addition to us, the only people who know about our plan are Meng Lanjun and Xu Hai, and if the plan to attack Guangzhou is not leaked from us, it must have been leaked from the two of them." ”

Meng Jiming said: "Big brother is right, Dad, let's go to them immediately and see who of the two of them bought us." ”

Meng Heng was about to speak, when he saw a pirate come over and report: "The old master, there is also a fleet." Meng Heng was stunned, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the pirate's finger, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen boats on the sea.

Seeing that there were not many ships coming, Meng Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and Meng Huiming beside him looked at it for a while and said, "Dad, it seems to be Langu's boat?" ”

At this time, the fleet also sailed closer, and Meng Heng also saw clearly, it was indeed Meng Lanjun's fleet, Meng Jiming said: "She came just in time, I was about to ask her, did she betray us, father, big brother, you wait a minute, I'll go find her." As he spoke, he gave the order to sail.

Meng Heng hurriedly pulled him and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Meng Jiming said abruptly: "Dad, what are you waiting for?" ”

Meng Heng snorted and said, "You go and ask her, what do you ask her, do you want to ask her if she told Song Jun when you meet?" Don't forget, Lan Gu agreed to marry your eldest brother, that is, your future sister-in-law, if you ask her like this, not only will she not be able to ask the result, but I am afraid that it will annoy her, and the marriage will fall through. ”

Meng Jiming opened his mouth and didn't say a word. Meng Heng said again: "I'll ask her in person, don't intervene." Saying that, Meng Heng ordered the boat to open and met Meng Lanjun's fleet.

When Meng Lanjun saw that it was Meng Heng's boat, he immediately ordered the other ships to anchor temporarily, and his own boat went up to meet him. The two boats were close to Long, and Meng Heng stood at the bow of the boat and said, "Lan Gu, how was your side last night." ”

Meng Lanjun gritted his teeth and said: "Someone must have told the Song army, the Song army has long been buried on the shore of Panyu, last night I was attacked by the Song army as soon as I took people ashore, and I fought hard to kill it, when I came out, there were four boats, more than 1,500 people, and now there are only 12 boats left, more than 300 people, uncle, what about your side?" ”

Meng Heng took a closer look at Meng Lanjun's boat, only there were seven or eight arrows stuck in the hull, there were also a few gaps in the side of the ship, and there was a large scorched mark on the stern. It looks like it's been a fierce battle.

Meng Heng said in a deep voice: "My side, like you, was also ambushed by the Song army, and the losses were also heavy. ”

Meng Lanjun gritted his teeth and said: "Someone must have told the Song army that we would be ambushed by the Song army." I can't spare him. ”

Meng Heng nodded and said, "Lan Gu, don't worry, I will definitely find out who betrayed us, and then we will all go to him to settle accounts." ”

Meng Lanjun nodded and said, "Uncle, I don't think it's safe here, it's better to leave as soon as possible, I'll go back to the island first, you will notify me as soon as you have news, and we will go to him together to settle accounts." With that, he ordered the ship to turn around and leave with the other boats.

Although the brothers Meng Huiming and Meng Jimin did not speak, they both heard the conversation between Meng Heng and Meng Lanjun just now, Meng Heng got off the bow of the boat, and the brothers immediately greeted him, Meng Jimin said: "Dad, it seems that Lan Gu did not buy us, so it must be Xu Hai who did it." ”

Meng Heng groaned and didn't speak, and then a small leader came over and said, "Old master, Sun Chao is back." ”

Sun Chao was the person sent by Meng Heng to inquire about the situation on Xu Hai's side, and when Meng Heng heard it, he immediately said, "Bring him to see me." ”

After a while, Sun Chao came to Meng Heng and said, "Old master, Xu Hai didn't attack Xiushan at all. ”

Meng Heng's eyes immediately shrank, and said, "What? ”

Sun Chao said: "Although Xu Hai also dispatched a fleet, his fleet only anchored near Xiushan, and did not attack Xiushan, and now all of them have retreated. ”

Before Meng Heng could speak, Meng Jiming immediately burst into a rage and said: "Dad, don't ask, it must be that kid Xu Hai who did it, this time he used the power of the Song army to deal with us, we can't just let him go, now immediately change sail and go to level his Mingshan Island." ”

Meng Heng had a gloomy face, waved his hand, and said, "Go back to Hidden Dragon Island first, and discuss other things in the long run." ”
