Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Brother Wei, Liu Damazi has raised the white flag and surrendered." Mao Shiba saw the white flag raised on the castle through the telescope.

Wei Xiaobao had actually seen it a long time ago, but he also saw that there were probably five or six thousand bandits on the Diaoyu Islands, while there were only 200 people on his side, the Julong, and 120 people on each of the three warships, for a total of 560 people. In addition to those who stayed in the fleet, a maximum of 300 people could be sent ashore to capture prisoners.

Although the free labor of capturing prisoners to open mines was quite attractive, Wei Xiaobao didn't dare to take the risk of using 300 people to capture 6000 prisoners, a ratio of 1 to 20.

If the pirates pretend to surrender, the consequences will be serious.

There is another important reason why Wei Xiaobao refused to accept surrender. The task Wei Xiaobao received in the system was to "eliminate the pirate Liu Damazi". If Liu Damazi was not dead, should the system think that the task was not completed and he should be the one to disappear?

"Brother Mao, these pirates have committed many crimes, including rape and robbery. They are all murderous devils. We will not accept their surrender. Keep firing!"

"Okay! We won't accept your surrender!" Mao Shiba agreed and said to the flag bearer beside him:

"Orders are passed down. If no surrender is accepted, all ships are to fire freely to blast these turtle bastards to death!"

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The cannons bombarded the castle. The walls and houses made of coral reefs and stones were not as strong as the reinforced concrete of later generations. Once the shells exploded, they collapsed in pieces. After several rounds of bombardment, the castle on the hillside was shattered and incomplete.

An hour later, the shells on the four warships were almost used up. Wei Xiaobao asked Mao Shiba to order a halt to the bombardment and prepare to land on the island.

The entire Diaoyu Island, except for the steep mountains in the south, is littered with broken walls and corpses.

From the telescope, there were few living people standing. Wei Xiaobao thought that the pirates should have been bombed to death, and it should be safe to land on the island.

Wei Xiaobao, Mao Shiba and Shuang'er, with 300 soldiers carrying Zhuge Crossbows and holding fine steel Tang swords, boarded the landing boat and rowed towards the Diaoyu Islands.

After arriving on the island, we saw the remains of pirates killed in the explosion scattered all over the island. The whole place was devastated and filled with the heartbreaking smoke of gunpowder.

Those pirates who did not die and were still struggling were killed by the navy soldiers, ending their suffering and the sinful lives of these pirates.

When Wei Xiaobao and his men arrived at the castle halfway up the mountain, it was already in ruins and incomplete. Wei Xiaobao asked the soldiers to search carefully because he was thinking about the pirates' huge treasure.

However, to Wei Xiaobao's regret, he found the bandits' granary, wine cellar, and storage warehouse, but no gold, silver, or jewelry.

In addition, more than 1000 surviving pirates were found, and Liu Da was not among them. They were tied up and thrown into the mezzanine cabin on the Fujian ship and taken back to mine.

The countdown in the system is still on, which means that Liu Damazi was not killed in the explosion and was not among the prisoners. The bandit leader must be hiding somewhere.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the mountain behind the castle. Could it be that Liu Damazi had run to the top of the mountain?

Behind the castle is a steep stone wall, which is more than twenty feet high. If you want to climb up, it is impossible unless you throw a rope from above!

Shuang'er used her lightness skills to climb the cloud ladder, but she could only rise to 20 to 30 meters because she couldn't find a foothold and could not go any further.

Could this stump Wei Xiaobao, who has knowledge of later technology?

Of course not!

Wei Xiaobao asked the soldiers to get some canvas from the damaged pirate ships and made a ten-meter-long large air bag. A hole was opened at the bottom of the air bag, and a simple stove with a chimney was made under the hole. The stove was placed on a large basket that could hold two people.

Wei Xiaobao asked someone to go back to the ship and get a large bag of white phosphorus crossbow arrows. He decomposed the white phosphorus, mixed it with wood chips, and put it into the stove to burn.

An hour later, the air bag was filled with sufficient heat and slowly rose.

Wei Xiaobao asked Mao Shiba to use a rope to hold the bamboo basket up so that it would not be blown out to sea by the sea breeze.

Afterwards, Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er jumped onto the bamboo basket, and a simple hot air balloon slowly rose into the air.

When the generals and soldiers saw Commander Wei ascend to the sky, they were amazed and thought he was a god. However, when they remembered that Commander Wei had been struck by lightning, it was not surprising.

Five minutes later, the hot air balloon jumped over the steep wall and reached the top of the mountain.

Wei Xiaobao adjusted the fire, landed the hot air balloon on the top of the mountain, and tied the rope on the bamboo basket to a big tree on the top of the mountain.

Mao Shiba climbed up the rope with a few skilled fighters.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao discovered that the scenery on the top of the mountain was unparalleled, with white green mountains and green rivers. The drizzle in the flute sounded like smoke, the blue clouds were emerald, and the mist was lingering, just like a fairyland on earth.

A stone path extends from the top of the mountain into the dense forest in the distant valley.

The crowd followed the path to the depths of the valley, where a small farmyard appeared before them.

There was a man sitting in the middle of the yard. When I got closer, I saw that he was about fifty years old, six feet tall (about 2 meters), with a sturdy physique and a face full of pockmarks. This man was Liu Damazi!

"Who are you? Why are you attacking my stronghold?" asked Liu Damazi.

"We are the Heaven and Earth Revolutionary Army. We are here to avenge the common people who were burned, killed and looted by you!" said Wei Xiaobao.

"Well, you are from the Tiandi Revolutionary Army. I don't know you. You want to kill me, Liu Damazi, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so!" Liu Damazi said.

After Liu Damazi finished speaking, he stood up with a big ghost-head knife in his hand.

"Are you going together, or one by one?"

Mao Shiba drew out the fine steel Tang sword from his waist and said, "I'll meet you."

After saying that, he raised his knife and chopped at Liu Damazi.

Liu Damazi was not to be outdone and swung his knife at him.

One had a powerful sword, the other had exquisite sword skills, and the two fought fiercely.

Liu Damazi's ghost-head sword was wide and thick. When it clashed with the fine steel Tang sword, it was not like the Japanese samurai swords that broke at the first touch. However, many notches were cut on the blade, which made Liu Damazi very sad.

Mao Shiba was not having a good time either. Liu Damazi was a brave man who had emerged from the ranks of thousands of soldiers. Each of his sword strikes carried a force of a thousand pounds. Every collision caused Mao Shiba's palm to ache and his arms to go numb.

If it weren't for the advantage of the fine steel Tang sword, Mao Shiba would probably have been defeated.

Seeing that Brother Mao was gradually losing his strength, Shuang'er drew out the Biqing Sword and attacked forward.

Shuang'er's swordsmanship was sharp and swift, but she did not dare to fight head-on with a powerful opponent like Liu Damazi. Shuang'er dodged Liu Damazi's attacks while looking for opportunities to attack.

After Shuang'er joined, Mao Shiba faced much less pressure, and the three of them gradually became even.

Wei Xiaobao became anxious when he saw that neither Shuang'er nor Brother Mao could gain any advantage.

He picked up a Zhuge crossbow and aimed it at Liu Damazi, but he was afraid of hurting his own people and did not dare to fire.
