(Thank you very much for your commuter passes, keep asking!) ）

Feng Ming was as anxious as a lost dog, running all the way, and when he finally couldn't see his pursuers, he finally fell down on the deck of the sea falcon, just like the bow of the sea falcon. His mind was still full of whistling clay pots and speeding crossbow arrows, and countless fireworks and black smoke swirled in his mind.

Half of his fleet was on fire, and the vast majority of ships were burning. The terrible sputter of fire turned mighty and luxurious ships into burning pyres, turning people into living torches. The air was filled with smoke, arrows, and screams.

The low clouds were tinted with the color of fire, and various shades of orange covered the sky. It's weirdly beautiful, it's terrifyingly beautiful, as if it's the wrath of the dragon in circulation.

The hot wind lifted the golden cloak and whipped it on his face covered with soot, but he didn't want to avoid it. He was vaguely aware that there were sailors on board crying, but he couldn't say anything about it. He was defeated, defeated.

Zhang Lie and several other surviving lieutenant officers also boarded the ship Changshan Seafalcon, "Childe, we still have two ironclad falcons left, one ship, five ships, and three yachts. There were 1,100 brothers on the ship who escaped, and 500 sailors. ”

This figure made all the officers disgraced, and when they came out, there were thirty-seven warships, and now only eleven remained. As the main warships, there are only two building ships and fighting ships and sea falcons, and the others are light and small ships. More than 4,000 people went on the expedition, and at this time only about 1,000 remained.

Although the officers were silent, everyone was complaining in their hearts that Feng Ming had taken away Wu Qian's command and commanded indiscriminately. If it weren't for his inaction after the ambush, they would never have been so miserable. Now think about it. If only I could have moved forward without retreating at that time. Follow the pirates to seize the dock in one go. Then turn around and fight the fleet outside, who wins and who loses is fundamentally different things.

"What about Wu Qian?" Feng Ming's eyes were as dull as a dead fish, and he asked blankly.

Zhang Lie said in a deep voice: "Captain Wu didn't escape, some sergeants said that when the Lingbo caught fire, he was still in the cabin, and he couldn't escape, and it was very likely that he was killed." ”

"It's better to be dead, it's better to be dead." Feng Ming said in a low voice. His eyes suddenly regained a little brilliance, and he stood up, "This time it was Wu Qian's bent on adventuring, although I persuaded you and you, but he turned a deaf ear, which led to a bit of a big defeat." Ladies and gentlemen, is that so? ”

The lieutenants couldn't help but feel angry when they heard such black and white words, but in front of him, the last one nodded silently.

Feng Ming was satisfied to see the captains' statements, and waved his hand. "Speed up and return to Wuhu Island."

He didn't want to think about the burned ships now. He was a soldier who died in battle under his command. All he was thinking about was how to shift the responsibility for the defeat to Wu Qian, who was already dead, this time Feng Zhang sent a special letter to ask them not to move, but he forced the battle and put Wu Qian under house arrest. This result is too terrible, although Da Xie Yan has many warships, he has lost so many at once, and he has killed so many soldiers and crew members in battle, and he has definitely stripped off a large piece of meat. Even if he is Feng Zhang's own nephew, he may be beheaded by the angry Feng Zhang.

"Get me something to drink." Feng Ming knew that all the officers must be complaining about himself at this time, but he believed that they knew how to choose Lu Dao. If the responsibility is shifted to Wu Qian together, everyone will be better. If not, don't even think about it when you go back.

A family member handed over a cup, Feng Ming took a big sip and spit it out immediately, kicked the family down angrily, and scolded: "Water? I'll fuck your mother's water, Lao Tzu wants to drink, I want Wuliangye! ”

In the dimness of dusk, a white spot suddenly appeared in the distance. Zhang Lie stared at it in shock, and then came closer, it was a white sail.

"There's a fleet ahead!" A shrill roar with a long tail sounded, piercing and deafening.

The lookout on the mast quickly returned, and the fleet appeared in the southeast direction, which was a battleship. Two ships, and twelve ships converted from sea-going ships.

"The head of the ship is wearing a long banner embroidered with a beautiful woman, and the one behind it is wearing a money flag. They're accelerating, they're coming for us. ”

Zhang Lie was furious: "Beauty flags and money flags, banners that I have never heard of, seem to be a group of pirates." Damn, it's really a tiger falling on the plain and being bullied by dogs, and Longyou Shoal being played by shrimp. A group of pirates, they actually dare to take advantage of the fire to rob, Childe, give the order to attack, let's go up and tear them apart. ”

Although they had just fled in defeat, in the hearts of the officers, no matter how bad they were, they were all dignified officers and soldiers. It has always been pirates who have fled when they see them, and when did the pirates dare to take advantage of the fire to rob them, they have their ideas.

After asking a few times and not responding, the generals realized that Feng Ming's face was actually pale, and his whole body was trembling, as if he was having a malaria.

He shuddered and said, "Quick, don't entangle with them, and return to Wuhu Island quickly." ”

Several captains sighed in their hearts, Feng Ming was already completely frightened, and it was impossible to command him to meet the battle at this time.

"Speed up, move forward, avoid them."

Seeing the fleet that avoided fighting and fled in a hurry, under the banner of the beauties, Meghan laughed, "A group of useless fools, they don't even dare to fight, it seems that they have just suffered a big loss." ”

An old pirate with an iron hook on his broken arm laughed: "It seems that they have won a great victory, you see, they only have eleven ships left, none of the building boats are missing, and even the sea falcon ships are only two." ”

"So what are you waiting for, catch up and kill them." Megan laughed.

The Bitch and the Money took the lead, sailing together, and the pirates shouted neatly and rowed desperately to row the ship, and the sails moved in unison, chasing Feng Ming. Megan's is an assault clipper, and the other modified warships are also equipped with many paddlers, and they are all fast, seeing that they are getting closer and closer, Feng Ming jumped straight to his feet in a hurry. I can't wait to go paddling myself, "Captain Zhang, you go back to the Xiaoshan Sea Falcon, and bring two more ships to intercept the pirates." ”

Zhang Lie almost became angry when he heard this order, and looked at Feng Ming coldly.

"Didn't Captain Zhang just say that he wanted to teach these pirates a good lesson? Why, is that just talking? Now I'm really going to get you. But don't dare? ”

Zhang Lie couldn't wait to directly slash Feng Ming with a sword at this time. He said that to fight the pirates, that meant everyone going together. Everyone went on board together, and with these eleven boats, he was still confident that he could defeat the pirates. But now that Feng Ming let him stay with only three boats to intercept, but he himself wants to escape, where is the morale of the army? Who can fight with their hearts and minds among those who remain?

"Yes!" He glanced at Feng Mingjiading, who had already put his hand on the handle of the knife, and had no choice but to say hatefully, throw his sleeves and leave.

"Let's go!" Feng Ming didn't look at Zhang Lie, who was leaving, and just shouted loudly at the flushing water, and shouted to the family members. "You're going to help out with the paddling, too!"

Feng Zhang drove the Ironclad Falcon with a ship, three ships and three yachts, a total of eight bows, and left in a hurry without looking back, leaving only Zhang Lie with an ironclad Falcon and two Shippers left alone on the sea.

"Prepare for battle!" Megan snorted, and the pirates on the Bitch pulled up their strong bows and crossbows. Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, and just as they were about to attack, a white flag suddenly waved on the opposite sea falcon ship.

"Don't attack, our captain has something to say!" The Bitch and the Money surrounded the Little Black Mountain and the other two ships.

The three ships did not make the slightest move, but lowered the sails from their masts.

Surrounded by pirates at sea, he lowered his mast sails and flew a white flag. This is what the merchant ships meant by signaling to the pirates that they would not resist and asking for conversation. Megan was stunned for a moment. I don't know what the hell the other party is doing. But since the other side has lowered the sails, there is nothing to worry about.

The sea falcon lowered a dinghy, and several people rowed over with white flags.

"I'm Zhang Lie, the deputy general of Montenegro Fort, and I don't know who is in charge?" Zhang Lie asked immediately after getting on the boat.

"Auntie and grandmother are." Meghan stepped forward in leather suits under the escort of a dozen fierce old pirates.

Zhang Lie glanced at the blonde and blue-eyed Megan with some surprise, and then looked at the old pirates next to him who exuded a fierce spirit, and was surprised in his heart, I don't know when such a fierce pirate appeared on the Liao Sea.

"I don't know if the Taoist woman is in charge of the rivers and lakes."

"Hahaha!" Megan laughed loudly, "Want to know the name of Aunt Lu Dao?" Think your aunt and grandmother are pirates? My aunt told you that my aunt and grandmother were none other than Megan, the tenth general of the water military camp in Da Xie Shamen Town, and these were the sailor brothers under my aunt and grandmother. ”

Zhang Lie was taken aback, his face was full of incredulity, and he exclaimed: "You are Li Jing's people, and those who are in the same group as Tieshan Wharf?" ”

"Exactly, but my aunt and grandmother can tell you that the people and horses of Iron Mountain are also my brothers in Shamen Town, but General Li is not in Iron Mountain. He is now drinking tea in Wuhu Fort, waiting for Feng Ming and Wu Qian to come to the door. ”

"Li Jing took Wuhu Fort?" Zhang Lie's whole person stepped down at once. He took the initiative to fly the white flag, in fact, he wanted to discuss with the pirates in the name of the Great Xie Commander to avoid this battle. He felt that his identity and the name of Da Xie Yan should be able to move the other party, and it was even possible to recruit the other party. But he never thought that the other party was actually Li Jing's person, and even Wuhu Island was taken away.

He didn't doubt the words of this female general, since Li Jing had such a powerful fleet and laid such a powerful trap in Tieshan to beat them to the ground, it was not impossible for him to quietly capture Wuhu Island. When he thought that they had not only lost the fleet this time, but also Wuhu Island, he couldn't help but feel like a dead heart.

"Captain Zhang, my general has always loved his talents, General Zhang was defeated this time, and he was thrown out as an outcast palace, even if I let you go back now, I'm afraid that after you go back, I won't be able to make it clear to Feng Zhang. Rather than being made a scapegoat when you go back, why don't you just stay and join our Salmen Army? ”

"You're going to surrender me?" Zhang Lie looked surprised, "But I was originally a general of the imperial court, and I am the same official as Li Jing?" Zhang Lie couldn't react for a while, in his opinion, although Li Jing defeated them this time and captured Wuhu Fort, but what about this? Li Jing is guilty of the following crimes, and it is a rebellion. In his opinion, Li Jing defeated them this time not because his strength was stronger than them, but entirely because of Feng Ming's indiscriminate command, if it was replaced by Wu Qian, or even any lieutenant, the result might not be the same.

And Li Jing is playing with fire now, although he won a game, but Da Xie Yan only injured his flesh and skin, and did not move his muscles and bones, as long as Feng Zhangzhi explained the matter here, he could directly calm Shamen Town by gathering soldiers and horses from various forts.

Meghan chuckled silently.

"What are you?"

"I laugh at you, you still can't understand the situation, why do you think my general dares to do something to you, not only luring and annihilating your fleet, but also daring to directly attack Wuhu Island?"

"For what?" Zhang Lie couldn't figure this out, Li Jing had also met him a few times, and he had said a few times. He felt that Li Jing was the kind of smart person, and he didn't understand why he suddenly dared to make such a mess.

"Do you really think that my general is here to suppress bandits this time? Do you really think that our generals attacked you on the fly-by-moment? ”

"Isn't it?"

"Hahaha!" Megan smiled, "Of course not, such a big thing, my general will not have so much courage in a small town, if there is no one behind to support it, who would dare to do this." ”

Zhang Lie's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly thought of the fact that all this was actually a trap. A trap against Da Xie Yan, or even a trap for the Pinglu Army, who is Li Jing's backer? It is Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu marching Sima Cui Yunqing, it is the festival marshal Song Wei, it is Dengzhou Assassin Song Wen, Zhao Wang Li Xiao, these people. Li Jing sent troops this time, could it really be that Song Wei and they were going to do something to the Wang family?

"Since my general has done it this time, it is just if he doesn't move, and he moves like thunder. Do you really think that Feng Zhang can continue to control Da Xie Yan? Tell you, Feng Zhang won't stay long, Da Xie Yan will definitely be the world of my general's in the future, you have to think about it. Now with General Li, you can still keep your position, and maybe it won't be long before your adjutant general can be removed. ”

"Did Li Jing really send troops according to the wishes of those above?" Zhang Lie was a little moved, he had just fought a big defeat, and he was left behind by Feng Ming in the palace. Even if these people really let him go, they would inevitably be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and if they didn't say it well, they would be used as scapegoats. What's even more critical is that if Li Jing is really Song Wei, Song Wen and others who instructed him to send troops behind the scenes, then Da Xie Yan will really change the sky.

"I am willing to follow General Li Jing's command." After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and decided to take refuge in Li Jing. "As a result of the sincerity of submission to General Li, these three warships, one ironclad sea falcon and two ships, plus three hundred soldiers and two hundred sailors, a total of 500 men and horses are willing to submit together."

The soldiers who surrendered without a fight, and took these three battleships without blood, and Megan was very excited. Not only did she avoid a battle, but more importantly, she took three warships intact, and now her new fleet would grow again. "Okay, very good, Captain Zhang will stay on my ship and come with me to Wuhu Island to meet my general." (To be continued.) )
