Pirate Song

"I'll give you this knife. I think your eyes will turn green!" Gao Huaiyuan smiled at Dong Qiang.

Dong Qiang was delighted to receive the sword. He was also a swordsman. During this period, he saw Gao Huaiyuan and many people around him wearing this kind of strange scimitar. After trying it once, he immediately fell in love with this kind of scimitar.

It's a pity that he doesn't know where to buy a scimitar on the market, and even if it is available, he, a poor hunter, can't afford it. Moreover, he also sees that only the most trustworthy people in Gao Huaiyuan have this kind of knife, so he wears it.

In fact, planting a knife also represents a kind of status, which can be regarded as being recognized as Gao Huaiyuan's person.

Unexpectedly, Gao Huaiyuan actually gave him such a scimitar today. Dong Qiang immediately understood that his performance in the past month had been recognized by Gao Huaiyuan, and now he was regarded by Gao Huaiyuan as one of his own.

How can I be unhappy in my heart?

So after Dong Qiang took the knife, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, sir. I will never forget your advice! If something happens to me in the future, just give me your orders. I will never hesitate to go through fire and water!"

"Get up! You're being polite when you say that. I just see that you have good skills and a lot of brains, so I don't want you to bury them! We will be our own family from now on, so there is no need to say more! Remember me

If so, if Masan comes ashore in the past two days, tell him

, try to make Jiang Yaozi and Zhao Baiyu who he instigated fight among themselves, and notify us in time. When they start fighting, that's when we take action! The immortal drunk prepared for him can be given to him this time!"

Gao Huaiyuan stood up and patted Dong Qiang on the shoulder.

Dong Qiang was of course deeply impressed by Gao Huaiyuan's strategy. Even though Gao Huaiyuan was a martial artist, he was not reckless at all when considering things.

Impressed.

Moreover, Dong Qiang used to boast that he was good at martial arts and was quite arrogant. However, after contacting Gao Huaiyuan during this period, he discovered that there are people outside the mountain. He first approached Zhou Jun to discuss it, but the result was that

Only when I got my hand did I find out, Zhou Jun is not that old

He is big, but he is very solid in his skills. He can't take any advantage in boxing or kicking. Moreover, Zhou Jun's toughness is very good. Even he, a person who often travels in the mountains, has to admit that in terms of physical fitness, he can't even

Even Zhou Jun can't compare to him.

Later, he had another fight with Zhou Hao, and within three moves, Zhou Hao restrained him with a knife, which made him have to admire Gao Huaiyuan for being surrounded by experts.

Later, when he saw Gao Huaiyuan and Zhou Hao sparring, Dong Qiang discovered that Zhou Hao was far from Gao Huaiyuan's opponent. Only then did he realize that Gao Huaiyuan was actually a master, so he did not dare to underestimate Gao Huaiyuan.

At this time, he also received some advice from Gao Huaiyuan, and he consciously broke through the bottleneck in his sword skills. He can be said to be extremely grateful to Gao Huaiyuan. Now he is determined to follow Gao Huaiyuan in doing things. Today, it seems that he has been recognized by Gao Huaiyuan.

Dong Qiang immediately nodded in agreement with Gao Huaiyuan, turned around and started to go down to work, quietly took two jars of wine, left Xiangyong's camp, and headed for an inn in Maoshan Township.

Gao Huaiyuan stood on a slightly larger fishing boat and kept giving orders. After seeing the fishing boats on the water going back and forth, and the progress and retreat, he finally nodded with satisfaction. Although his grasshopper fleet was not as good as

The naval force stationed in the garrison is much stronger than when he first arrived. At least he can follow his orders, change formations, charge, break away, or encircle, and can all act as required.

"Lord County Captain, we have been here for a month. When will we go to the lake to find trouble with those thieves? To be honest, sir, we young fishermen are starting to get anxious now!" A middle-aged man on the boat said

When the fishermen saw Gao Huaiyuan taking some time off, he carefully approached Gao Huaiyuan and asked him.

"Haha! It seems that you are more anxious than me, the county captain! This matter is not easy to say! We haven't found out where the thief is yet. Besides, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must sharpen his weapon first! Practice more, and for

For us, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. Fisherman, why don’t you

Don't be anxious first, I will tell you when it's time to take action! Okay, turn around and go back! We will also practice night fighting in the evening, let's take a rest first!" Of course Gao Huaiyuan would not tell this fisherman any news.

It just comforted him.

The fisherman leaned back to the stern of the boat. As the small flag on their boat wavered, the fleet began to gather and sailed towards the shore. The fisherman shook his head and murmured in a low voice: "How long will this take? If we don't fish all day,

What are we going to eat during the Chinese New Year if we are just grinding here?"

Zhou Hao, who happened to be following Gao Huaiyuan, heard the fisherman's murmur, so he smiled at him and said: "Don't worry, even if you don't go until the Chinese New Year, we, the county captain, will not let you suffer! We, the county captain, are not stupid.

official!"

"How dare you! Look at my mouth!" The fisherman was startled. He quickly apologized and began to turn around with his oar.

After a few days passed, Gao Huaiyuan was at his desk and carefully sketched a map on a piece of paper on the table. This map was a map of Niangzi Lake that he had gathered a group of fishermen to gradually perfect during this period. Basically,

He marked some ravines and small islands in the lake. Of course, it is impossible to march and fight without a map. This is also a compulsory course for generals. In addition, during this period, he also visited the lake a lot, and gradually became familiar with it.

The situation in Niangzi Lake is much more familiar.

"Sir, we have news!" Dong Qiang strode in from outside, grabbing a pigeon in his hand.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately dropped his homemade pencil, straightened up and turned around and asked, "What? Is there news from Masan?"

Dong Qiang untied a small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, then handed the bamboo tube to Gao Huaiyuan with both hands, turned around and threw the pigeon outside. Gao Huaiyuan took the bamboo tube and poured out a small note inside.

There are no words on it, only a few crooked symbols drawn on it.

"Invite the leaders of each team to come to my place to discuss matters, and ask Guo Liang to lead archers to seal off the camp. No one is allowed to go out. All boats and fishermen are ordered to dock at the shore. Without my order, everyone will stay here!

It seems it's time for us to take action!" Gao Huaiyuan tore the note into pieces and ordered Dong Qiang.

"I obey, little one!" Dong Qiang excitedly handed over his hands and turned around and ran out.

Not long after, the camp became lively. Guo Liang sent archers to control the camp and ordered everyone to return to camp immediately. The boats on the water were also called back and all docked on the shore.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but most people didn't pay much attention. Such emergency gatherings have been held many times in the camp, and I don't know if there is another emergency gathering this time, so everyone is not too nervous.

After hearing the sound of the drums, the leaders of the society ran to Gao Huaiyuan's temporary command post one after another and stood in two sides, just like in the army. These people can be regarded as officers!

"Everyone! I think you all have been waiting impatiently lately! So I'm here to tell you today. I've made you wait for so long, just for today!

Now I have an order for you all to have dinner early in the afternoon. After forming your own teams, start boarding the ship and prepare torches, rockets, kerosene and other items. We will go and catch all those thieves tonight!

Guo Liang, Zhou Hao obey orders!"

After everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted. When Guo Liang and Zhou Hao, who were called, heard Gao Huaiyuan call their names, they immediately stepped out of the queue and stood in the middle.

"My subordinates are here!" The two men immediately bowed and replied.

"You take ten boats at night and give you 150 people. Set out early and go to Zhulin Bay on the other side. Make a U-turn there. Once the hour is over, be sure to reach the south side of Cocoon Island in the lake and stand by. After seeing the rocket take off,

Go to Cocoon Island immediately, there are people fleeing south, be sure to stop them without fail!" Gao Huaiyuan ordered the two of them.

"I obey!" The two of them immediately followed the order and stepped aside.

"Zhou Jun, Mr. Xing, please listen to your orders!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately continued to roll his name.

"My subordinates are here!" The two men immediately came out to respond.

"I'll give you two ten boats with one hundred and fifty people. We'll also set out early at night and sail west toward Laowu Village. Then we'll turn around and head toward Cocoon Island. At midnight, we'll arrive at the northwest side of Cocoon Island and wait for orders.

After seeing the rocket or hearing the sound of drums, attack Cocoon Island! Do not let the thieves escape from your direction!" Gao Huaiyuan then ordered.

"I obey!" The two of them were immediately ordered to retreat.

"..." After Gao Huaiyuan issued several orders in succession, he arranged the matter and finally said: "The rest of the people will go out with me at night. As the main offensive force, try not to fight with the thieves on the water and rush in first.

Once we get to the island, we can take action to take advantage of it!

There will be light rain tonight and there will be wind on the lake. Everyone must be careful. Each boat is allowed to light a small lamp at the stern of the boat. The lead boat will lead the way. The other boats will keep an eye on the lead boat and don’t get lost! If anything happens

Follow Diu, don't act without authorization, march slowly towards Cocoon Island and find the brigade!

Besides, it was difficult to see clearly at night, so I prepared two pieces of white cloth for each person and wrapped them around both arms to minimize accidental injuries. Before starting to attack the island, I had to leave manpower around the island to prevent the thieves from escaping!

This time we must hit the target with one strike, and we must not let the thieves slip through the net, so that they will not come back again later. This battle is related to the long-term peace and stability of Niangzi Lake. I hope you will take the lead and kill the enemy. Anyone who dares to resist will be punished with a penalty.

Wait, kill without mercy!

This time we send troops, if anyone dares to be afraid of fighting, he will be severely punished as soon as I show up! You should be careful! It takes a thousand days to raise troops and use them for a while. Whether we are a tiger or a cat depends on tonight!"

Gao Huaiyuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly to the people in the room.

"I obey!" Everyone immediately shouted in unison.

After Gao Huaiyuan asked everyone again if they knew their positions and what they were going to do, he made sure that everyone understood it, and then waved everyone to disperse.

The reason why he did this was to prevent the thief's informant among them from spreading the news. There were so many miscellaneous people, Gao Huaiyuan did not believe that the thief had no informant among them, so he did not reveal the news until now, and

The camp was sealed off as soon as possible and no one was allowed to leave. What was important was confidentiality.

After it got dark, everyone had a hearty meal of war food and a meal of fish and meat in the sea. The first group of people carried equipment, weapons and other items, started to board the ship, and started to board the ship under their respective leaders.

He led them away from the lake shore and lost their way into the lake.

Gao Huaiyuan also stood on the shore, sent them away, and then began to arrange the remaining people to move to the larger ship to carry supplies. After preparations were made, he gave the order and took the lead in boarding his "flagship", a ship.

A fishing boat more than ten meters long.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind on the lake began to increase, and the waves in the lake also began to increase, constantly lapping at the rocks on the lakeside, making rumbling sounds, and boats of all sizes were bumping up and down on the shore with the waves.

, Fortunately, these people have already gone through some training, otherwise, just under such circumstances, boarding the ship may cause trouble.

Following the shouts of the fishermen, the village warriors cheered up, boarded their boats, and arranged their weapons. The archers hung up the bow strings vigorously, adjusted the bow strings, and placed their weapons where they were most convenient.

The position was ready for use at any time. The fishermen lifted the cables and used bamboo poles to push the boats away from the lake shore. They gradually gathered together on the lake and sailed into the lake.

Under normal circumstances, fishermen will not go to the lake to fish at night, but in the past month or so, Gao Huaiyuan has not only continued to practice during the day, but also conducted boating drills at night. They have done this many times.

Finally, it came in handy, so the fishermen were not very afraid. After all, they had lived in Niangzi Lake for many years and knew the situation in the lake relatively well. Therefore, although Gao Huaiyuan decided to take action at night, everyone also

Be fully prepared.

The water waves in the lake are beating against the hull of the boat, and the boat is constantly bumping up and down, left and right. If it is the first time to ride on such a boat, you will soon become seasick due to the bumps. Many people can't figure out why Gao Huaiyuan chose this boat.

On such a dark and windy night, he went to the lake to raid the thief's lair, but there was no

A few people dared to complain, because they had discovered during this period that although the Gao County Lieutenant was a generous man, he was very strict in running the army. Within a month, he cleaned up these rural warriors who were used to wandering around.

Obediently, everyone gradually got used to his vigorous and resolute behavior.

Since he said he wanted to go at night, he should go at night. If he can’t see clearly, the thief can’t see clearly either. Naturally, it is fair to both parties. Moreover, some smart people have guessed that the reason why Gao Huaiyuan

Choosing to send troops at this time is taking advantage of the weather. It is expected that the thieves will not expect that they will attack their lair at night, so this battle will probably be easier to fight.

So after everyone boarded the ship, their morale was quite high. However, at this time, it started to rain again, which wet everyone's clothes. When the cold wind blew again, many people were shivering from the cold. Even so,

It's better to be more cautious, but it's really uncomfortable to be caught in the rain when you're sailing at night and can't see your fingers.

The boat is driving on the lake. It is not easy to control the boat at night when the wind is high and the waves are strong. The fishermen driving the boat not only have to follow the boat in front to ensure that they do not fall behind, but also carefully maintain the distance between them.

It was also very hard at times.

In such a night, there is not even a visible moon in the sky. It is really not easy to maintain the course, and it is even more difficult to find the small cocoon island in the huge Niangzi Lake.

How old is it.

Gao Huaiyuan has already considered this. The phrase "Lao Ma knows the way" is appropriate at this time. The captains of each fleet are old fishermen who have lived in Niangzi Lake for a long time. They are already familiar with Niangzi Lake.

I couldn't be more familiar with it. With them leading the team, the safety factor is naturally higher.

What's more, Gao Huaiyuan also had his secret weapon. He did not hesitate to allocate a copper compass to each fleet. This kind of thing was made by hand after he drew a sketch and had it made by the craftsmen of Wohu Village.

The magnetic needle inside is made of magnets, and a piece of glass is installed on the surface.

The compass is made of glass, with scales drawn inside, which allows people to easily see the direction they are heading. Although this kind of compass is not a high-tech product, it was considered a rare thing at this time in the Southern Song Dynasty. Compared with the ones used for sailing in the sea,

It is much more convenient to grow large-scale sinan.

Therefore, with the help of this compass, boating in Niangzi Lake at night has an extra layer of security. After the old fishermen got this novelty, they were all amazed, and everyone regarded it as a treasure and guarded it carefully.

At this time, the thieves' nest on Cocoon Island was very lively with people shouting and drinking. When all the thieves saw this kind of weather, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for more than a month, there was thunder and heavy rain over the government.

Xiao, the county lieutenant of Daye County led a group of village warriors, and they had nothing to do all day long.

They were tinkering with military training by the lake, but they had no intention of invading their lair. They were really on tenterhooks for a long time. As time went by, they gradually relaxed. Even Jiang Yaozi felt that he was too careful this time.

I quite feel that the people in the government are really incompetent.

And Jiang Yaozi also saw the dissatisfaction of his subordinates. If he waited for a while, his subordinates might fall apart, so he also restrained his temper, and saw that Zhao Baiyu and others were also dissatisfied.

No longer hitting or scolding, the restraint on his subordinates has been relatively relaxed.

During this time, Zhao Baiyu seemed very respectful in front of Jiang Yaozi. The wounds and whip wounds on his forehead that were hit by Jiang Yaozi were all healed. He was moving back and forth on the island. His previous hot temper seemed to have calmed down a lot.

He also often walks around with other leaders such as He Lao Er, neither leaving the island nor causing trouble. This situation seems to be a bit abnormal compared to his usual.dd
