The black beard's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of hatred.

Except for him, the same was true for the other leaders. Yellow beard's fists were tightly pinched, and the knuckles were pale due to excessive force. White beard also gritted his teeth, revealing a murderous intent in his eyes. Red beard sat there, his eyes flew with time and said nothing.

This was the first time Li Jing knew that these pirates had such a relationship. It turned out that they were carrying a deep blood revenge. Zhen Sanjiang's sons escaped from death twenty years ago, and formed brothers with the pirate Red Beard who saved them, reorganized them, and once again raised the banner. Zhendonghai, this name is louder than Zhensanjiang, and it also indicates that they are stronger than their fathers to avenge their blood revenge.

Only twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Although they have been expecting complexity, they can only be deterred from the face of the Cat Island close to Duli Town and the solid fortress on the Cat Island. Twenty years have passed, and they are almost losing their complex determination. This time, Li Jing wiped out more than a thousand pirates on the one-eyed Jiao traversing the Liaohai Sea with only two thousand new recruits, which shocked the Zhendonghai. After Li Jing was robbed of the armies by his superior Feng Zhang. After finding out, he not only did not fear, but came resolutely. This courage even woke them up.

They were almost old, and the white beard was about to be sixty, and the other three people were all in their forties. If they did not take revenge, they might never be able to avenge this. When a pound of white wine was spent, the strong wine finally ignited the hatred in their hearts and strengthened their determination to attack Cat Island.

"We need your help!" The white-bearded man stared at Li Jing like a sharp arrow, "We know that you rely on less than 2,000 new recruits and a broken castle city to annihilate the 1,800 teams that the one-eyed dragon and the Wang family united. The battle was so beautiful that the defenders must be better at attacking. Since you can defend Shamen Island, you should also know how to attack Cat Island. This time, we are four brothers, please help us capture Cat Island. We will not take any of the things on the island, just seek revenge!"

"You guys come and help me this time!"

"No, this time it is related to the twenty years of blood feud we have." Whitebeard said, "You are the one who helps me with this matter, and we owe you a crush on me."

"Then this is a battle with our common goal, and everyone works together!"

Huang Beard was a little anxious, "Did you think of any good countermeasures?"

Li Jing said slowly: "According to the situation we have, the defense of Cat Island is very strong. Not only are there wooden fences, pins, deer antlers, pits and other underworld objects set up along the coast, but the key lies in the three hundred guards that the island has been defending for many years, and the solid rock fortress with a circumference of 200 steps and 3 meter high. However, if it were just these, I think it is not impossible to take Cat Island with the two thousand horses we have joined together now."

"The key point is that Cat Island is not isolated." White beard said, stroking the white beard. Although they have never attacked Cat Island again in recent years, they have never given up on Cat Island. "The reason why Cat Island is difficult to attack is not because of the defense of Cat Castle itself, but because it is only six miles away from Duli Town. As long as it encounters danger on Cat Island, they can immediately call the police to Duli Town for help. Duli Town has a special joint fleet, which is a powerful fleet of hundreds of large and small warships and a powerful fleet of 20,000 sailors. Once they receive the call, they can arrive in an instant. With our strength, we are not enough to fight them."

Li Jing nodded. Duli Town is a joint product represented by many maritime merchants in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it is actually a joint product represented by many wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty. The Feng family has a place in this Free City. When the Feng family's Cat Island is attacked, the joint fleet will come to reinforce immediately. There is a precedent. The white-bearded father and the joint pirate group of Sanjiang were defeated by these.

"So, the most critical step to conquer Cat Island is to find a way to prevent the joint fleet from rescuing Cat Island!" Li Jing said with a smile. Once the problem was found, he found a way to solve it.

Red Beard shook his head and said, "This is impossible. The Feng family occupies a critical position in Duli Town. Although they are not the city lords, the city lords of Duli Town adopt a rotation system, and they serve every three years. Duli Town has 108 seats participating in decision-making, and thirty-six seats are candidates for the city lords to take turns. Thirty-six seats represent thirty-six families, and every three years a family sends representatives to serve as the city lords. The Feng family also has a seat in these thirty-six seats. If something happens to Cat Island, the fleet of Duli Town will definitely come to rescue."

"Six nautical miles, say it's not far away, say it's not near. We just need to surround the island to prevent any ingress and escape from reporting the news." Li Jing gently knocked on the table, "What kind of police are used to call the police for Feng's family?"

"It's useless. The Feng family has beacon towers on the island, and can be seen directly from Duli Town."

"What if we raid at night?"

"Bai Yao sets out smoke on the beacon tower, and sets fires at night, it's useless."

Li Jing was not disappointed, and smiled slightly and said, "Bai Yao sets out smoke and sets fire at night. If we block the island tightly, then the island's entry into Duli Town for rescue can be avoided. If we adopt night attacks, the island's opening smoke will be invalid. Now the only thing we need to worry about is to set fire through the beacon tower during the raid."

"That's right."

"Hehe!" Li Jing smiled a little cunningly, "If we raided Cat Island on a heavy rainy night, surrounded Cat Island tightly, and prevented a fish from escaping from reporting the news. We also took advantage of the downpour of the rain to attack, and you said that even if the entrance to Cat Island was discovered, how would they set fire to Duli Town to send messages?"

As long as the rain is heavy enough, not to mention whether the beacon on Cat Island can burn, even if they can burn it, as long as the rain is heavy enough, six miles apart in the night, Li Jing believes that with the low visibility of the heavy rain, Duli Town will definitely not receive their rescue signals.

Huang Beard slapped his thigh and shouted: "Oh, why have we never thought of this idea before? But, this aura is impermanent, how do we know which one is raining or heavy rain?"

"This should not be difficult. There are usually Onmyoji on the fleet, and they will speculate on the changes in the aura. This time I came here, I brought one with the boat. It is said that he speculated that the aura is very accurate. In fact, it may not really have to be a heavy rainy night, and it will be the same if it is a heavy fog night. But it requires a very heavy fog. Compared to this, it is better to wait for a heavy rainy night." Li Jing said with a smile.

After thinking about a solution to the reinforcements of the Duli Town fleet, the only thing that stood in front of Li Jing and others was Cat Island.

"We only have one night to capture Mao Island and retreat. Otherwise, even if Duli Town cannot receive a rescue signal, there are special connections between Duli Town and Mao Island on Mao Island, and the patrol boats in Duli Town will pass through Mao Island regularly. Once the war is delayed, the matter can be leaked."

Whitebeard took a few wine glasses and arranged them on the table, representing Duli Town, Cat Island, and the castle.

"The biggest difficulty now is this castle on Cat Island. The city is two hundred steps around, with a wall of two feet high. There is only one gate of the fortress. In addition to the 300 guards who have been stationed all year round, there are some soldiers and families and several workshop craftsmen in the fort. In addition, there are many warehouses on the island, with about 200 slaves loading and unloading goods. If the guards are given a chance, they are likely to arm these things. There is no shortage of weapons on the island. If they hide in the castle and hold on, it will be difficult for us to take the castle."

"What is the Feng family's castle built?"

"The stones are built, extremely strong. The only way to enter and exit the fortress is a fort gate on the south side, but this gate is covered with iron and is very strong. After the castle is dark, after the castle is closed, a thousand-pound gate that is completely cast with iron will be placed. The gate can only be crimped with a winch, and there is no other way to open the castle."

Huang Huzi added: "Yes, the castle is built like a turtle shell. The base is ten feet wide, and the foundation is built with large square stones at the bottom. In addition, outside the castle, there is a moat ditch that is three feet wide and two feet deep. Although there is no water in the ditch, it is densely covered with picket piles. Once the suspension bridge is closed at night, it is difficult to fly over even if it has wings."

"There will never be a fortress that cannot be broken in the lower place." Li Jing chuckled, "No matter how strong a fortress is built, there will be times when it can be broken. The stronger the fortress of the Feng family, the more relaxed and careless the guards in the fortress will be. They may be the same as you think, and they feel that there will never be any entry to break the fortress. But fighting is fighting. If the fortress is built extremely strong, it will really never fall. Then everyone will go to repair the castle."

It seems that the pirates have a relatively fixed mindset. They are only used to looting unprotected merchant ships at sea, or occasionally looting unprevented villages on the shore. They have no experience in fighting tough battles, or offensive and defensive battles.

"Do you have magic tricks to break this fortress?"

"This, I have to ask my reconnaissance first." Li Jing turned around and asked Li Wei, who had drunk a pound of wine and was still calm, "Zi Jun, you have heard the information on Cat Island just now. Do you have any way to open this fortress?"

"I will know if the fortress is strong or not," he said. "I dare not make arbitrary judgments before I see the specific situation. I need to go to the island to conduct a field reconnaissance before I can give the answer."

"If this is the case, how much do you need to buy and when do you plan to go to the island?" Li Jing said, "We have a very tight time and cannot leave Shamen Town for a long time."
