Chapter 1285: A knife
In the peach trees, rows of armored soldiers lined up, and the front was the shield soldiers holding shields. Behind the shield soldiers were spears like forests and snow-like swords. There was no sound of people, but only the sound of sonorous drum beats, neat footsteps, and crisp sound of armored leaves colliding.
Rows of soldiers seemed to rush out of the peach forest endlessly, and rushed towards the soldiers who had just crawled out of the water like chickens.
The soldiers of Qi shouted in fear and looked at the armored soldiers gushing out in despair. In fact, there were only 3,000 soldiers on Peach Blossom Island, but because of the terrain and woods, the number of people appeared to be endless, giving people a great impact on their vision.
The sailors living on the boat are not equipped with armored clothes except for generals. The elite navy of Zhou even walked barefoot like flying on the boat, putting on shoes, which made them feel inconvenient to walk on the boat.
But this is a war on the ship. If it really comes to a war on land, the difference between not wearing armor and armor is very different. On the sea, wearing armor will make you die faster, because once you put on armor and fall into the water, the heavy armor will be your life-chasing talisman. However, on the shore, the situation will reverse.
These Qi sailors did not have armor-piercing. In fact, they did not have this thing at all. At this moment, under the pressure of the enemy covered in iron armor, they looked like pitiful and helpless little white rabbits looking up at the fierce and fierce tiger opposite.
The desperate Qi soldiers wanted to turn back and flee, but behind them was a vast sea. On the sea, the ferocious white warships were smashing and sinking their warships, and fleeing to the sea without a way out. And without a ship, are they ready to swim back to the mainland by water? They are not fish.
Some people went crazy. They shouted with red eyes and raised their weapons, and rushed towards the soldiers who were as calm as a mountain in front of them.
The body hit the iron shield and made a dull sound, and the shield did not move at all. Before they could hit it again, spears poked out from the gaps in the shield. The sound of puffing sound continued to sound. As the spears rushed back, blood immediately sprayed on the shield in front, and the dark shield turned purple and black.
Hundreds of crazy and brave pathfinders, without even a bubble, fell before the silent military formation. The military formation was as silent as before. After a brief pause, the drums started again, and the military formation slowly moved forward again.
Qi Jun kept retreating.
As the sea was getting closer and closer, Cao Gang looked at the army with a pale face. This was definitely not something that the Zhou family could own. Zhou Shuguang had long been colluded with the white warships on the sea and the black armored army on the peaches.
The moving army finally stopped. Only a few dozen steps away from the Qi people in front of them, the Qi people had no choice but to retreat. They squeezed into a group of desperately and looked straight at the enemies in front of them. I don’t know when the drums would sound loudly on the opposite side, and these soldiers would shout and rushed up to kill them in the local area.
The drums suddenly stopped, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
"Those who abandon their weapons and kneel down will not be killed!" A voice came from the opposite army like the sky. For the Qi people, this seemed to be the best result.
I don’t know who threw away the weapons in his hand first, held his head in his hands, and knelt on the sand. With the first one, everyone put aside their last sense of shame. Countless weapons were discarded on the ground, and thousands of people knelt on the ground with their hands in their hands. In the end, only Cao Gang and a few personal guards around him were left, looking at each other, standing abruptly like a flock of cranes standing out.
The black military formation was separated from the left and right like a sea tide. A general strode out from his back and pointed a big knife in his hand at Cao Gang: "You, since you don't kneel down and surrender, do you want to resist stubbornly? Come on, don't say I won't give you a chance, as long as you can defeat me, how will I let you go?"
The man was covered in armor, and even had facial armor on it. He was tall and thin, but when he spoke, his voice was crisp. He was actually a woman. Cao Gang was stunned and suddenly heard the other party say this, and he was overjoyed, as if he had picked up a life-saving straw and shouted: "How can this general keep his word?"
"Nonsense, I always speak the same thing. As long as you defeat me, I will send you a small boat to let you leave." This person was naturally Yu Xiu'e. This battle seemed to her so boring. She could only watch the battle at sea. After finally thousands of people boarded the land, as soon as their army formation was unfolding, there were only a hundred people on the other side who came up and stopped. A lieutenant howled casually and it ended.
This disappointed her.
"The warships on the sea will also obey the general's words and let me go?" Cao Gang asked afterwards.
"Of course, if you have finished it, I will be impatient if I don't fight, so I will simply order people to rush up and cut you into 17 or 18 pieces." Yu Xiu'e pointed at Cao Gang's big sword and halberd and said angrily.
"Fight, of course!" Cao Gang stepped forward, and at this time he was just a dead horse as a living horse. He was still quite confident in his martial arts cultivation. If he could catch the female general in front of him, it would be another village of darkness and brightness, and he would be in a desperate situation. He really didn't expect to meet such a brainless general, and he actually wanted to fight one-on-one on the battlefield.
He pressed his mind and strode forward. He spread his sword in his hand. With anger, he rose up and slashed at Yu Xiu'e. At this time, he really took out his twelve rounds of skills. All hope was based on his battle. How dare he not raise the energy and spirit of his whole body?
Seeing Cao Gang's sword full of momentum, Yu Xiu'e was not surprised but happy, and whistled: "Good come!" He stood firmly on the ground, holding the hilt of the long sword with both hands, and the sword rose like a dragon. In an instant, even the sunshine in the sky seemed to be dim at this moment, leaving only the dazzling sword light of Yu Xiu'e's sword.
Cao Gang was so desperate that he thought there was a sunny road in front of him. But when he really stepped on it, he found that this sunny road in the year was a shortcut to the underworld. After all, he was also a good master in martial arts practice. When the other party worked together, he knew that the skills of the female general in front of him were not something he could fight against.
The two swords collided, and the waist knife in Cao Gang's hand was cut and cut by Yu Xiu'e twice like a hemp rod. The remaining force of the sword had not faded and cut straight down. Cao Gang didn't even have time to wail, so he was cut open from the middle by the sword. His body and the armor on his body fell neatly to the left and right, and a complete person turned into two pieces.
The sword light suddenly disappeared, Yu Xiu'e put away the knife, shook it casually, and shook the blood on the knife. The long blade once again became snow-white and bright. She poked the handle of the knife heavily to the ground, lifted up the armor, glanced at Cao Gang's two corpses, and said dissatisfiedly: "Farewell, you, a silver-like wax gun tip, look full of momentum, but you are completely a fool, and you can't stop it. Who else would you like to compete with me?"
He raised his snow-white and slender fingers and pointed at Cao Gang's already scattered personal soldiers.
After a few loud noises, several personal soldiers knelt down together.
"God of your life, we are willing to surrender!" They touched the ground with their foreheads and screamed in a tragic voice.
Yu Xiu'e flattened her mouth, dragged her knife and walked back, "Sold together, string together."
The battle was over on the sea surface. A large number of ship fragments filled the sea area, and countless Qi army corpses were floating in it. As the sea waves rose and fell, three fired warships were still burning on the sea surface. After the two other Qi warships that fled, they simply pulled up the white flag and stopped on the spot to surrender to Zhou Bao.
At this time, from the port of Taohua Island, one big-bellied cargo ship after another sailors on the ship held a hook in their hands, hooking the exhausted Qi army struggling and calling for help from the sea from the sea and still entering the cabin. One came up, tied one, filled a boat, and happily sailed back to the island to unload the cargo. Ten white warships were arranged in a semi-arc shape on the sea, monitoring the entire prisoner's arrest.
So Yu Xiu'e's army became the guards and prisoners again. In such naval battles, not many died, but most of them were captured.
The ones that are alive are burial, and the ones that die are burial. It won’t take long to make their bodies a food for fish in the sea. This is not because Zhou Baozhen and others deliberately ignore it, but as a long-standing pirate family, it is their custom to throw them into the sea to bury them after death.
The battle was over, and there were shocking cheers everywhere on Taohua Island. After Zhou Shuguang decided to turn against Daqi and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he had been transferring the core figures of the family and his tribe to Taohua Island. At this time, there were actually a large number of residents on the island, no less than tens of thousands. A series of construction was underway on the island, because whether it was Qin Feng or Zhou Shuguang himself, he had a clear understanding of the strength of Qi. Bozhou could not last long under the full attack of Qi, and Taohua Island was their next base.
The Ming army will also use Taohua Island as an outpost for attack. It has a complete shipyard, repair factory, freshwater resources, and a small amount of production land, which can be used as a base.
