Chapter 24: The warship was robbed and the Japanese pirates were trapped

"hateful!"

Ichiro Hidetaka was confused for a moment, he knew that he didn't have much time left.

"Withdraw troops!"

At the command, the Japanese pirates' camp was bustling with activity. They took in the remaining soldiers and evacuated the camp at the same time.

the other side.

The gates of Sanqing County were wide open.

Chu Yang rode a tall horse and entered the city surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Pan Feng and Xing Daorong had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, but both of them had subtle expressions on their faces.

Pan Feng looked very happy, as if he was the one who won the battle.

Xing Daorong's face was filled with shame, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Your Highness!"

Pan Feng knelt on one knee with his fists clasped, and shouted loudly, "I have accomplished my mission and joined forces with General Xing to defeat the Japanese pirates. Now the Japanese pirates are like dogs that have lost their homes, fleeing towards the coastline!"

Chu Yang dismounted from his horse and patted Pan Feng on the shoulder with a smile.

"General Pan, you have worked hard. Please stand up quickly."

After that, he looked at Xing Daorong who was standing aside and wished he could find a hole to crawl into. "General Xing, victory and defeat are common in the military. Don't blame yourself too much."

Upon hearing this, Xing Daorong immediately knelt down and apologized.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent and fell into the trap of the Japanese pirates, which led to me being trapped in Dingjun Mountain. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Pan Feng chimed in, "Your Highness, now that the Japanese pirates have been defeated, I think we should seize the opportunity to pursue them and wipe them out in one fell swoop! How about letting General Xing take on the task of raiding the Japanese pirates' camp at night and let him make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence?"

Chu Yang secretly laughed in his heart. These two guys really cooperated perfectly, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.

However, Pan Feng's proposal was exactly what he wanted. Now that the Japanese pirates' morale was low, it was a good time to strike hard at them.

"Well, General Pan has a point."

Chu Yang pretended to be in deep thought and nodded, "General Xing, are you confident?"

"I am willing to sign a military order. If I fail to defeat the Japanese pirates, I will bring my head to you!"

Xing Daorong said this solemnly, he knew this was his only chance to make amends.

at this time.

A personal soldier hurried over, knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Sima wants to see you."

Chu Yang frowned slightly. Why did this old guy come at this time? "Let him in."

Soon.

Sima Yi walked into the hall led by his personal soldiers.

He was wearing a blue shirt and had a warm smile on his face, as if he was not coming to the battlefield but to go for an outing.

"I, Sima Yi, pay my respects to His Highness."

Sima Yi bowed and said, "I heard that Your Highness had defeated the Japanese pirates, so I came here to present you with a gift of congratulations."

"Oh? A gift? What is it?"

Chu Yang asked with interest. He remembered that what he had asked Sima Yi to do before was to build a warship. Could it be completed so quickly?

"Warships are just one of them. I already own 300 warships now."

Sima Yi gently waved his feather fan and spoke slowly, with a hint of pride in his tone that was difficult to conceal.

"Three hundred? So fast?!"

Chu Yang was shocked. This old guy was quite efficient. "What about the second one?"

"The second is that these warships all belong to the Japanese pirates!"

Chu Yang was stunned. "What? You...you robbed the pirates' warship?"

"Rob? No, no, no, we only have a few dozen soldiers, how can we rob the enemy's warships!"

Sima Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "I just bought their warships at a high price as a businessman."

“Buy at a high price? Would the Japanese pirates be so stupid?” Chu Yang had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Haha, Your Highness doesn't know this."

Sima Yi moved closer to Chu Yang and said in a low voice, "After I arrived at the seaside, I found that the pirates' warships were all docked on the shore, with no one guarding them."

"After asking around, I found out that the Japanese pirates were rampant and no one in Qiongzhou dared to touch them!"

"So, I had an idea and spread the word that a businessman was buying warships at a high price. Guess what happened?"

Sima Yi paused deliberately and looked at Chu Yang, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Chu Yang had no idea what was going on, but he still raised Sima Yi's hand and said, "Sir, please speak."

"As expected, local bandits, militiamen and other local warriors gathered together and began to attack the pirates' warships, stealing or robbing them."

"Some fishermen were worried that their boats would be robbed, so they sold them decisively."

"This is also a way to build 300 ships in a few days."

Hearing this, Chu Yang laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy. God is really helping me!

"It seems the Japanese pirates can't escape now!"

He patted Sima Yi on the shoulder and praised him: "Well done! I like your gift very much!"

"As long as His Highness is satisfied."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Then, Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with those Japanese pirates?"

"How else can we deal with them? Of course, we should follow the fishermen's instructions and annihilate them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang decisively ordered: "Xing Daorong, you take two thousand soldiers and divide them into three teams to train the local militia to use the Mandarin Duck Formation. If you see the Japanese pirates, you can attack them decisively."

"Pan Feng, you take two thousand soldiers to camp on the coastline to block the pirates' logistics and bluff them to intimidate them."

"Zhao Yun, you lead the Xianzhen Camp and the main force of the entire army to pursue the main force of the Japanese pirates."

Upon hearing the order, the three of them bowed decisively, then turned and left.

As time went by, the thousands of remaining Japanese pirates fled frantically near Sanqing County and became the rats that everyone wanted to kill.

Some fishermen, in order to vent their hatred, found lone Japanese pirates and beat them to death with their fists...

For a while.

The Japanese pirates were wiped out when Qiongzhou opened up!

The sea breeze, with a salty smell, blew across the smoke-filled battlefield.

Over time.

Chu Yang was seen standing on the coast, looking at the corpses of Japanese pirates floating on the sea in the distance, with a sneer on his face.

"Your Highness, the remaining 6,000 Japanese pirates have been completely wiped out without a single one escaping."

Zhao Yun, wearing armor, walked behind Chu Yang and reported with a fist.

"it is good!"

Chu Yang turned around and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, "Zilong, you have done a great deed again this time!"

Zhao Yun had no expression on his face. He said calmly, "It was all the soldiers who fought bravely. I dare not take credit for it."

"Hahaha, Zilong, you are just too modest!"

Chu Yang laughed and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, "Let's go back and have a drink to celebrate!"

at the same time.

The good news from Qiongzhou spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty as fast as wings.

Soon the news spread to the imperial palace thousands of miles away.

In the Golden Palace, Emperor Yongning was wearing a dragon robe and sitting high on the dragon throne.

Below, hundreds of civil and military officials stood on both sides, with their heads lowered and their eyes submissive, not daring to make a sound.

"Report——"

A loud shout broke the silence in the hall, and an armored soldier quickly walked into the hall, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, a great victory in Qiongzhou! His Highness the Seventh Prince led his army to defeat the Japanese pirates, and all 12,000 of them were killed!"
