Speaking of Cheng Donglin of Shangchuan Island, he and Ma Ye both secretly took refuge in Meng Heng with the scriptures, so they did not move when Meng Heng attacked Mingshan Island, but they also watched secretly from a distance. Chinese After seeing the first day of the battle, both of them were secretly glad that this time they finally bet on the right treasure, but the progress of the war was much more than the two expected, and they never expected that the Song army would come from it. Moreover, Meng Heng's coalition army suffered heavy casualties, and fled back to Zanglong Island in embarrassment. Ignore the two of them.

This time, Xu Hai's side will definitely not be able to go back, and Meng Heng's side doesn't seem to be very reliable, the two of them don't know what to do, and they can't come up with a clue after discussing for a long time, and finally go back to each island to see the situation.

As soon as Cheng Donglin returned to Shangchuan Island, he heard the news that Xu Hai was coming to attack Shangchuan Island. After all, he has worked with Xu Hai for many years, and he knows that Xu Hai has a character of revenge and unscrupulousness, and Dan also knows that Xu Hai does have a set of wars, and he is by no means an opponent, so he hurriedly found someone to help. But thinking about it, although Meng Heng and Meng Lanjun have the strength to save themselves, they are too far away, and Mingshan Island to Shangchuan Island is only a dozen miles by sea, and Genjie is too late, and Meng Heng and Meng Lanjun are both newly defeated now, and they may not be willing to send troops to save themselves immediately. So now the only thing that can save himself is Ma Ye of Shimokawa Island, if he finishes, the next one will naturally be his turn, and he should come to save himself in a reasonable way, so Cheng Donglin immediately wrote to Ma Ye and asked him for help.

But when Xu Hai's fleet arrived at the shore of Shangchuan Island, Cheng Donglin turned out that Xu Hai had only brought a total of sixteen boats. So Cheng Donglin suddenly became energetic, because he had twenty-three large and small warships under his command, which was more than Xu Hai's ships. Cheng Donglin secretly scolded himself in his heart, he was too confused, Xu Hai was obviously beaten by Meng Heng and suffered heavy losses, how many boats could he have, he knew that he would not invite Ma Ye in this way, and gave him an empty favor in vain. Therefore, Cheng Donglin immediately took all the warships to meet Xu Hai, hoping to defeat Xu Hai before Ma Ye came in the future.

As soon as the two sides fought, Cheng Donglin relied on the number of ships to attack Xu Hai's fleet, and captured three ships of Xu Hai in a row, and Xu Hai's fleet fought and retreated, and withdrew for seven or eight nautical miles.

But just when Cheng Donglin was about to collect his troops, he suddenly killed seven warships from the left and right and rushed towards Cheng Donglin's fleet. Moreover, the three ships that were seized also suddenly caught fire, and the fire spread all at once, and five or six of Cheng Donglin's warships were burned. Cheng Donglin's fleet immediately became in chaos, Xu Hai's fleet also turned around and killed back, three flanking attacks, Cheng Donglin was defeated, eight ships were sunk, and four ships were captured. Cheng Donglin soldiers fled back to Shangchuan Island with the remaining warships in disarray.

But before returning to Shangchuan Island, Cheng Donglin saw that ten more boats blocked his way in front of the island.

It turned out that Xu Hai divided his forty warships into two batches, and led thirty warships to fight with Cheng Donglin, and first deliberately dispatched only sixteen ships to challenge Cheng Donglin, and after leading Cheng Donglin away from Shangchuan Island, the other fourteen ships were killed from the left and right, and Cheng Donglin was attacked three times, and Cheng Donglin was immediately defeated. Xu Jiang took Cheng Donglin to go to sea to fight a decisive battle with Xu Hai, and led ten other warships to easily occupy Shangchuan Island. When Cheng Donglin was defeated and retreated, he intercepted Cheng Donglin in front of the island.

And at this time, Xu Hai's pursuers also arrived, Cheng Donglin was already defeated by Xu Hai, and now how can the enemy survive the opponent's double-sided attack, as a result, his own boat was also surrounded by Xu Hai, Xu Hai's pirates stepped on Cheng Donglin's boat, and a short battle of white soldiers finally captured Cheng Donglin's boat, and Cheng Donglin himself died under the chaotic blade. When Cheng Donglin's other subordinates saw Cheng Donglin's death, they laid down their arms and surrendered. Xu Hai eventually captured Shangchuan Island.

In this battle, seven warships of Xu Hai were sunk and more than 300 people were killed, but twelve warships were captured and surrendered, more than 700 people, and on the whole, they still earned. Moreover, Cheng Donglin's subordinates were originally in the same group as Xu Hai, so Xu Hai's trust and reliability in them were much higher than the group of Meng Heng's subordinates who received from Yang Yan.

At this time, Ma Ye didn't know how to believe it, and was leading twenty warships to rescue Cheng Donglin.

At this time, Xu Hai's subordinates had forty-five warships, which was more than when he sent troops. After a simple reorganization, Xu Hai immediately led the fleet to face Ma Ye. Xu Hai still did what he wanted, and ordered Xu Jiang to immediately take twelve warships to attack Shimokawa Island, and he himself led the remaining thirty-two warships to engage Ma Ye.

The two sides met at sea, and another big battle began. But how could Ma Ye be Xu Hai's opponent, and seeing that Shangchuan Island had been captured by Xu Hai, Cheng Donglin was only afraid that his life would not be guaranteed, so he lost psychologically. Moreover, Xu Hai's warships were far more than Ma Ye, and after a battle, Ma Ye was also defeated by Xu Hai. At this time, the people left behind on Xiachuan Island brought bad news, Xiachuan Island had been captured by Xu Jiang, and Ma Ye had no choice but to flee with five warships and go to Zanglong Island to take refuge in Meng Heng.

In this battle, Xu Hai only lost four warships and more than 200 people. But he got eleven of Ma Ye's warships and surrendered more than 500 people. Not only did these two battles win very easily, but Xu Hai's strength increased significantly, and he suddenly had fifty-two warships of all kinds, and he vaguely returned to the situation of his heyday. At the same time, he also got the property and materials accumulated by Cheng Donglin and Ma Ye for many years, although both of them are only medium-sized pirates, but after uniting with Xu Hai, they have also dominated the sea for several years, and their savings are also quite considerable.

Just when Xu Hai was quite complacent, a minion reported to him that the Song army had taken advantage of the situation to capture Mingshan Island. Xu Hai's head "buzzed" and he almost fainted to the ground. Two sentences suddenly flashed through my mind.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch comes later."

******************************

"In Xia Lai Wenzheng, I have seen the Lord of Xu."

When Xu Hai heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, Mingshan Island was captured by Yang Yan, what kind of island owner is he now, is it difficult to be the owner of this small Shangchuan Island? Yang Yan sent two envoys to see him, one of whom he knew, it turned out to be Zheng Sihai under Meng Heng, but although the thirty-year-old scribe who spoke to him definitely didn't know him, the name Lai Wenzheng sounded a little familiar.
