Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

Zhaojun, Zhang Yan's old nest.

Zhang Yan slammed the table and said angrily: "Wang Dang and the others have been completely wiped out. Why was there no warning in advance?"

Yu Du stood up and said: "It seems that Yuan Jun is planning to fight us to the death this time. Sooner or later he will send troops to attack the door. How should we deal with it?"

Zhang Yan snorted coldly: "There are Yellow Turbans in Hebei and Gongsun Zan outside. That Yuan Shao definitely dare not put all his troops on us. This attack on Wangdang is nothing more than killing chickens and monkeys to make us restrain ourselves, but I just don't Let him have his way, Wang Dang’s revenge must be avenged!”

Yu Du said: "What does the commander-in-chief mean...?"

Zhang Yan gritted her teeth and said: "Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have a long-standing grudge. Send him a letter quickly and ask him to attack Yuan Shao together. He will definitely agree. When the time comes, we will unite to deal with Yuan Jun, and we will definitely beat them to the ground!"

Yu Du said quickly: "I will take care of this immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a minion walking into the hall: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Yuan Jun has marched towards Zhao County, and I'm afraid he is coming to attack us!"

Zhang Yan was shocked and said: "I didn't look for them, how dare they come to me?"

The gangster said in a panic: "The number of Yuan's troops is not yet clear, but they are definitely quite large. They have already killed the leader of the Wang village, and I'm afraid they are going to fight us!"

Zhang Yan glared and said, "They will come whenever they come. What are you afraid of?"

The gangster said in panic: "But after all, they are well-equipped officers and soldiers, and we are just thieves gathering in the mountains and forests..."

As soon as the gangster finished speaking, he was immediately chopped to the ground by Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan said angrily: "I don't need cowardly and incompetent guys who are so scared when they hear the names of the officers and soldiers. Since Yuan Jun wants to fight to the death with us, then I will help them!"

Yu Du cupped his fists and said, "What are your instructions, Commander-in-Chief?"

Zhang Yan said: "Immediately ask each village to gather troops, we are going to fight to the death with those officers and soldiers!"

Yu Du quickly accepted the order and retreated, but the prelude to the decisive battle had already begun.

Zhaojun, official road.

Yuan Jun was like a long, winding snake, slowly crawling forward in a black mass.

Roach rode on the horse and said, "What are the actions of the Black Mountain Army now?"

Zhang He replied: "They are gathering troops now. I'm afraid they want to fight us to the death."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Very good, it saves me wasting time."

Zhang He frowned and said, "But once they gather, their combat power will double. If we want to eliminate them, it will be more difficult."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "General Zhang must remember one thing."

Zhang He said: "What?"

Luo Qi said calmly: "It's just a grass bandit, nothing to worry about."

Zhang He frowned and said: "Military advisor, please don't be too confident. The Black Mountain bandits can develop to this point, and their strength must not be underestimated. Otherwise, they will not become a serious problem for me in Hebei."

Roach nodded and said, "How about I make a bet with the general?"

Zhang He said: "What are you betting on?"

Luo Qi said calmly: "Zhang Yan will be defeated within ten days. If not, no head will be spared."

Zhang Heyi was startled and said in surprise: "Why is the military advisor doing this?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "There is no suspense in this battle, I can only use this to find some excitement."

Zhang He was stunned for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

A few days later, Zhang Yan returned to his old nest.

Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are they stationed at the foot of the mountain now?"

Yu Du nodded and said, "They even sent a letter of war."

Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "What does the letter of challenge say?"

Yu Du said: "They want to arrange a decisive battle with us tomorrow, in the plains at the foot of the mountain."

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Since they are eager to fight, we refuse to let them get what they want. We order each village to defend to the death and remember not to go out to fight lightly."

Yu Du nodded and said, "No problem."

At the foot of the mountain, Yuan Jun is stationed.

Luo Qi looked up at the sky and smiled: "What's the result?"

Huang Yueying said calmly: "It will be sunny after tomorrow, and it will not rain in the near future."

Roach smiled and said: "Very good."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you planning to set the mountain on fire?"

Luo Qi nodded and said: "With you, a disciple of the Yin Yang family who can understand astronomy, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't make good use of the topic?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "No wonder you want to issue a challenge to them."

Luo Qi nodded and said: "When Zhang Yan receives the letter of challenge, he will only think that we want a quick victory and will never agree to my request. He will definitely adopt a defensive strategy, which is exactly what I want."

Huang Yueying sighed slightly: "Facing guys like you, I'm really worried about whether they can last three days."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "I hope they can play more exciting games with me."

The next day, mountains.

The rising flames ignited from the foot of the mountain, and then quickly spread to the top of the mountain. Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky, and countless vigorous ancient trees were burned to charcoal in the fierce fire.

The blazing fire shone on the soldiers' faces and continued to burn for three days.

Roach raised his head and saw the lingering smoke on the mountain. He smiled and said: "The Black Mountain bandits must be exhausted now. It is a good time for us to attack."

Zhang He nodded and said, "I will take the lead and go up the mountain!"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "I have already seen the map of all the mountains nearby, and there are twelve places suitable for setting up strongholds. If I guess correctly, the first stronghold should be on the west mountainside, and the general can level it first. , and then I’ll think about the next step.”

Zhang He geared up and said, "No problem!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately led his troops up the mountain.

Luo Qi looked at the back of Zhang He charging forward, and then walked forward with Huang Yueying, stepping on burnt charcoal, making clicking sounds from time to time.

Before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they heard faint shouts of killing.

Luo Qi still looked calm and walked slowly to the cottage. What he saw was a burned-out scene and a fight in the square.

The resistance of the Black Bandits has become sporadic and meager, and is quickly extinguished like a steaming flame.

Luo Qi walked up to Zhang He, cupped his hands and said, "General Zhang, thank you. I wonder what the casualties of our army are?"

Zhang He wiped away the blood and said: "They were in chaos when our army attacked. Unfortunately, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army still lost a lot of manpower, but it was indeed much less than expected."

Roach nodded and said, "How many are the enemies?"

Zhang He thought for a while and said, "Including those who have been burned to death, there should be close to ten thousand."

Luo Qi counted his fingers and said with a smile: "There are ten thousand bandits in one camp. Even if other camps are included, the number of Black Mountain bandits still cannot exceed 12. The millions they said are really ridiculous. It’s just lies.”

Zhang He said: "What should we do next?"

Luo Qi said calmly: "Tear off the clothes of these Black Bandits and put them on our sergeants, let them pretend to be the defeated Black Bandits being hunted, and then work together to capture the camp. The remaining eleven camps all used this strategy. Until Zhang Yan is finally eradicated...the plan is that simple."

Zhang He nodded and said, "I'll start taking action now."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "General, please fight quickly. Don't forget that my life is still within the ten-day deadline. I don't want to default on the engagement."

Zhang He smiled and said, "That's natural."
