Zhu Cong smiled slightly, and talked eloquently to everyone: "The Red Phoenix Army is equipped with firearms, if it is a head-on confrontation, we are definitely not opponents." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt is precisely for this reason that it is necessary to counter the other party in order to thwart the prestige of the other party. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" asked Zheng Guang.

Chen Qingjun was also quite puzzled: "Counter-plotting, could it be that you have already planted a spy in the Red Phoenix Army?"

Zhu Cong shook his head and replied: "That Chifeng Army has strict discipline and strict discipline, and it can't be broken by needles or splashed with water, and it is not something that ordinary warlords can match, so it is precisely because of this that we need other means to succeed?"

"What means?" Wang Ziqing asked.

Zhu Cong took a deep breath, but got up and bowed to Chen Changwu and Li Sheng, and pleaded: "This time, I hope the two of you can help." ”

"Chaojianglong, could it be that you want my brothers to die for you? I can warn you, I won't go through this troubled water. Li Sheng was surprised, and quickly jumped up from his seat and looked at Zhu Cong with a stunned expression.

Chen Changwu was also annoyed, and shouted in a low voice: "Zhu Cong." You ought to know my temper, and if you don't give enough explanation, believe it or not, I'm going to kill your whole family right now?"

Zhu Cong shook his head, putting the slightest warning from Chen Changwu in his ears, but continued to persuade: "It's not that you will die, I just hope that the two of you can act as an internal response and help us and others to exterminate the Red Phoenix Army together!"

"How?" the two of them settled down and continued to ask.

"As far as I know, the Red Phoenix Army will be operating in the near future to exterminate us. And this is the opportunity. ”

When Zhu Cong saw everyone looking over, he felt very proud in his heart, and replied loudly: "When the time comes, the two of you will pretend to have a conflict with us, and then flee in defeat. When the time comes for the decisive battle, you only need to take advantage of the critical time to fight back, and the Red Phoenix Army will definitely be caught off guard. Then will be the time for us to wait for victory. ”

Chen Qingjun immediately clapped his hands and praised: "This plan is very good. I agree!"

"I agree too!" said Zheng Guang in response.

Wang Ziqing took a deep breath, but he was a little confused: "It's just that I have a question, why Chen Changwu and Li Sheng?"

"Among us, only Chen Changwu and Li Sheng are the most familiar with the art of water warfare, that is, their own strength is far above everyone else, and when they are all fighting, the two of them can take this opportunity to sail away from the Red Phoenix Army. And you, including me, are not very familiar with water warfare, and are not good at hand-to-hand combat, how can you fight against the Red Phoenix Army?" Zhu Cong explained.

When the rest of the people heard this, they all bowed their heads, thinking that it was a wise saying.

Chen Changwu was immediately overjoyed, and laughed and said, "With such a plan, the Red Phoenix Army will definitely be captured." ”

Only Na Li Sheng's face was always bitter, and he didn't know what he was thinking, just kept drinking and drinking.

Zhu Cong looked a little strange, so he asked, "General Li, I don't know what you think?"

"Nope. It's just a little boring, so let me take a break. Li Sheng replied, looking at Zhu Cong's confident face, and sneered in his heart: "With such a clumsy method, can you also deceive the Red Fengjun?" Raising the wine glass in front of him, he drank the wine again and again, although his head was dizzy from the smell of this wine, but his heart was thorough, knowing what happened next, I am afraid that it will not be as smooth as Zhu Cong expected.

The next day, the sea breeze gusted, rolling up the endless spray and crashing on the shore.

And the sail was puffed up like an arrow from a string, piercing the ocean.

As Zhu Cong expected, there were already ten warships across the ocean outside Jiaozhou Bay, lined up to face these pirates in front of them.

Zheng Guang was shocked in his heart, and smacked his tongue and replied: "This Red Phoenix Army really acted quickly, how did they come here so quickly?" When the other pirates saw the familiar flag, they also felt their whole bodies tremble, their calves weakened, and they almost fell on the ship.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Zhu Cong saw that everyone was panicking before fighting, and immediately carried Neiyuan, shouted loudly, immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, and gave an order: "Rank with me!" Immediately hundreds of ships competed for the current, thousands of sails competed, all raised their sails, and the battleship under the manipulator's feet rushed towards the Chifeng Army.

It's just that when these ships were about to approach the Chifeng Army battleship, they saw a burst of smoke rising from the battleship in the distance, this smoke was very obvious, and it was as black as the evil ghosts that ran out of hell, and as the smoke rose, countless cannonballs came across the sky and smashed towards the attacking ships.

On the surface of the ocean, countless splashes splashed, and immediately set off a storm on this tranquil sea area.

This cannonball is very powerful, if it falls on the battleship, the "bang" can smash the entire warship out of a large hole, and countless wooden planks shatter in response, not only causing the soldiers next to them to wail and fall into the sea, but also let the seawater pour into it, and then quickly sink into the ocean, leaving only a series of wooden board debris.

Rusi Shenwei immediately frightened all the pirates, and they ordered to stop the attack, but instead switched the bow and returned to Jiaozhou Bay.

Back in the cottage, everyone was shocked, just because the strength of the Red Phoenix Army was too strong, they didn't even charge, but they relied on a series of artillery, so they suffered heavy losses, and in the previous war, the ships lost were only afraid that there were no more than fifty.

After counting the number of people, Zhu Cong found that he had lost at least thirty warships under his command, and hundreds of people were injured, as for the others, they also suffered heavy losses, especially Chen Changwu and Li Sheng, who were the most miserable.

This kind of loss is beyond the scope of everyone's bearing.

No, then Chen Qingjun shouted: "How can those Red Phoenix Army be so powerful? They actually knocked out more than 20 of my ships, or we will retreat?" Feeling sorry for his losses, he was already a little moved in his heart, and wanted to break his wrist at this time, so as not to continue to expand the losses.

In this battle, in terms of losses, the most heaviest was Zhu Cong.

After all, this time the alliance was proposed by Zhu Cong, in order to convince the rest of the pirates, so Zhu Cong's fleet rushed to the front and deserved to suffer the most losses.

And in the current situation, before Zhu Cong could speak, this person was already scolding, which shows how cunning and stingy this person is.

"Now, the Red Phoenix Army has sealed Jiaozhou Bay. It's hard for us to ride a tiger, if we don't confront the other party, how can we escape?" Although Zhu Cong was bored by listening to it, Chen Qingjun's fleet was the main strength, and he didn't dare to provoke the other party at this time, so he continued to explain: "According to the current time, we can only achieve the final victory by fighting against the water?"

Wang Ziqing sighed softly and said with emotion: "I thought that the artillery was just like this, but I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, it was really invincible." Thinking of the scene of charging in the rain of bullets before, he still felt trembling all over his body, as if he would be smashed into meat sauce by the projectile anytime and anywhere.

"That's right. If we don't get rid of it today, there will be no room for turning over in the future. Zheng Guang encouraged on the side that he was a heinous villain, who had slaughtered an entire village, and if he fell into the hands of the Chifeng Army, he would be sentenced to death.

Zhu Cong replied in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it seems that the only way to do this is to implement the plan set before." Then, his eyes burned at Li Sheng and Chen Changwu, and ordered, "As for the time, it's tonight." ”

Li Shengdun hesitated, and was about to step forward to speak, when he saw that Chen Changwu was already hideous, and he looked like he hated the Red Phoenix Army: "Very good." I'll let those guys know I'm good. And let them know who is the master of the sea. ”

"Good. Then I'll go and prepare now!"

Zhu Cong was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his subordinates to go and prepare all the things they needed.

As for the Chifeng Army outside Jiaozhou Bay, they are still in front of the port, waiting for the dawn to come.

It was night, and it was pitch black at night, with only the stars and the moonlight, shining a little brightly, and in such an environment, the accuracy of the soldiers was much lower than that of daylight, and it was not a very good environment for engagement.

In Jiaozhou Bay, although he knew that it was almost time to set off, Li Sheng was still on the road, not knowing whether he should carry out this task.

He didn't know much about the Red Phoenix Army, and he didn't know what its internal situation was, and if he accidentally exposed his feet, he was afraid that he would be in danger of dying.

So in order to soothe his mood, Li Sheng found a beach to relieve his depression.

However, at this time, he saw two people walking towards this side in the distance, and when he looked closely, it was Chen Qingjun and Zheng Guang, and he suddenly wondered in his heart: "What are these two people doing here late at night?"

With a gust of sea breeze blowing, the voices of the two of them were all heard, but he heard them very clearly.

............

Walking on the beach, Chen Qingjun no longer had the true character of a businessman who was scheming about his day, but instead showed a heroic posture and asked: "Zheng Guang, do you think with our strength, can we fight against the Red Phoenix Army?"

Although this Zheng Guang is fierce, when facing Chen Qingjun, he looks afraid, as if he has already regarded him as the master: "If it is located on the vast ocean, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat." But if we can lure it into Jiaozhou Bay, we can attack it in groups, and the other side will be defeated by then. It's just that when the time comes, I'm afraid that we will also lose heavy losses, at least more than half of our troops. ”

"In that case, then why did Zhu Cong gather us and others to conspire against the Red Phoenix Army?" Zheng Guang asked with confusion.

Chen Qingjun sneered and replied, "Naturally, I want to take this opportunity to eradicate all of us." At that time, the Red Phoenix Army will be destroyed, and we will also suffer heavy losses and will be difficult to form an army, and then he will be the only one left in the entire sea area, and the benefits brought by it will make up for these losses. ”

Hearing this, Li Sheng was shocked, and listened intently, not daring to miss the slightest information.

Immediately, Zheng Guang smiled and said, "Then according to Elder Chen's meaning, is it to kill Zhu Cong in this time?"

"That's right. Chen Qingjun bowed slightly, and the smile on his face was even brighter: "This guy has entangled with me several times, and has ruined my good deeds several times, in that case, how can I allow him to do such a good thing? If I don't teach him to know how powerful I am, then how can I mess around on this sea?"

Zheng Guang's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "Old Chen really has a good plan. instigated the Chifeng Army and Zhu Cong to fight each other, and we waited to reap the benefits of the fisherman, such a strategy was really good. ”

"That's nature. Chen Qingjun raised the paper fan in his hand slightly, and said: "Then Zhu Cong thinks that only the Chifeng Army has firearms in this world, but the world is so vast, how can there be more than one person? Although this artillery is rare, I spent a lot of money to buy 100 artillery pieces from the Song Dynasty, and its firepower is far superior to that of the Chifeng Army." At that time, as soon as the Red Phoenix Army and Zhu Cong are destroyed, I will be the only one in this sea area. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qingjun only felt that he had a dry cloud of pride in his chest, and immediately laughed loudly.

Zheng Guang immediately exclaimed: "Old Chen is really powerful, he can even get such things?"

The benefits of firearms, he had seen it yesterday, and he thought that with the combined efforts of six people, he might not be able to defeat the Red Phoenix Army, but when he heard the news today, he felt the blood boiling in his body.

"That's nature. ”

Chen Qingjun looked proud, and said with a smile: "You must know that money can make ghosts grind." As far as I know, both the Southern Dynasties and Mongolia have been successful, and their power is not inferior to that of the Red Phoenix Army. How else can I buy it?"

Zheng Guang looked flattering, and asked again: "In that case, can you give me a little evener?" It doesn't need too much, thirty doors will do." ”

"Thirty gates?" Chen Qingjun muttered, and snorted coldly: "These are what I bought at a cost of a thousand dollars, and you want to get thirty doors with just one sentence? Don't forget, your life is in my hands right now. As he spoke, he took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and said slowly: "Counting the days, you should have had a seizure at this time." ”

Sure enough, when Zheng Guang saw the small medicine bottle, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and then his body was itching, and he was really uncomfortable with the itching, so he had to beg hard to let Chen Qingjun pour a projectile from the medicine bottle, and only after taking it did he recover.

At this point, the two of them lost interest in talking, and left separately.

Li Sheng was already surprised when he heard this, and only after the two of them were far away did he find a narrow path and return to the Gathering Hall.

He didn't dare to tell Zhu Cong about this, after all, that Zhu Cong also had evil intentions, seeking to be able to destroy the rest of the people and dominate the entire sea area.

Although the people on the boat looked strange, they didn't dare to beak, they were just busy with the work at hand.

For example, carving knife marks on the battleship, and making small holes with ballistas and bows to make the battleship look like it has just been through a major battle.

Soon, the battleship changed its appearance under the manipulation of the soldiers.

As for Zhu Cong, he had already brought the rest of the pirates here, and complained to Li Sheng and Chen Changwu, who were executing the characters: "I am going to the Chifeng Army this time, and I hope that the two of you will be careful, so as not to be seen through our plan by the other party, do you know?"

Chen Changwu immediately replied: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely cooperate with the outside and let those Red Phoenix Army all roll into the sea to feed the fish." Only Li Sheng, absent-mindedly and casually responded, and ordered the soldiers to tear off the sails, control their warships, and start moving.

Zhu Cong felt very relieved when he saw the two warships pulling up the anchor and the sea breeze blowing the sails, and said with a smile: "I hope this time, they can succeed smoothly." ”

"Of course. It's a pity that it won't be you, but me. Behind Zhu Cong, Chen Qingjun swept Zhu Cong thoughtfully, and his eyes flashed with pride.
