Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 52 Contact
Waiting outside the barracks was a group of tall, tall, and three-thick men, no matter how tall, short, fat, or thin, they couldn't hide the fierce and bloody aura on their bodies.

"Hmph, mob!" Standing on the gate, Hou Cheng looked at the soldiers who were five hundred steps away from the gate, with deep disdain on his face.

"I think they are quite fierce." Chu Nan looked at this group of people, everyone seemed to have three words not to mess with, and it felt like they were stronger than ordinary soldiers.

"Sir, in the ranks, if you don't have the ability to fight the front army, your personal strength will be worthless. If these are really the pirates, I'm afraid they won't even be able to form a complete formation. Even if the lord comes, bring this group of soldiers , none of the Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army can be used." Hou Cheng explained casually.

The collision between the two armies does not depend on how strong your soldiers are, but on the overall quality of your soldiers. If you advance and retreat as one, orders are prohibited, this is called an army. These people in front of you, although their elder brothers are fat and healthy, all of them have a look of rebellion in their eyes , If there is such a person in the army, it must be a general. If everyone looks like this, it will be a mess.

"Look at the positions these people occupy. There is no order at all. If I lead an army to attack at this time, no matter from which direction, even if the number is half of them, I can easily defeat them." Hou Cheng said at the end, Quite a bit proud.

Chu Nan nodded. This may be the difference between the regular army and bandits. In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, bandits may not be inferior. A fierce general who can stand against thousands without his personal strength is enough to turn the tide of the battle. In the eyes of the regular army, bandits and grass bandits are like a piece of loose sand.

"Open the gate, give them the salt!" Chu Nan waved his hand, and asked people to transport the prepared coarse salt outside the camp, [-] catties of coarse salt, a full two hundred boxes.

The demon mantis, which had already been instructed by Chu Nan, turned into its own body, fluttered its wings and flew into the gap in the bamboo basket.

Won't be crushed to death?

Looking at the demon mantis hiding in the bamboo basket, Chu Nan shook his head. The current demon mantis has almost caught up with Hou Cheng, a general who has been fighting for many years, in terms of strength and physical strength. It would be too embarrassing if he was trapped to death. .

The pirate who was in charge of collecting salt was also in a strange mood at the moment. After being a pirate for so many years, it was not that he had never dealt with the officers and soldiers, but it was the first time that he came to collect things from the officers and soldiers like this.

When a group of soldiers came out of the camp with baskets of salt, a group of bandits immediately grasped their weapons and entered a state of high alert.

If the officers and soldiers make a sudden move, they will immediately drop the salt and run away.

"Take a count, each box here is fifty catties, a total of two hundred boxes of salt, do you think it's enough!" Cao Xing pointed to a large piece of salt, and said indifferently.

The leader of the pirates frowned and looked at Cao Xing, hesitated, then waved his hand, several men ran over to check, everyone was on high alert throughout the whole process, if there was any slight movement in the group of officers and soldiers, they immediately abandoned the salt and fled.

They are pirates, it is unwise to fight with the officers and soldiers on land, they can only run.

However, these officers and soldiers obviously did not mean to embarrass them, they just stood aside and supervised from the beginning to the end.

As for what to supervise, everyone knows it well. On weekdays, when you come to various fishing villages to collect profit, you can find faults if you can. It's not bad, even if it's mixed with sand, they don't dare to collapse.

"No problem!" A pirate came back in a hurry and whispered next to the leader: "The portion is very large, and the color is good."

The leader of the sea bandits nodded silently, and made a four-faced salute to Cao Xing: "This general, the goods are fine, we... leave."

"Retreat!" Cao Xing nodded indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, the accompanying soldiers retreated back to the barracks in an orderly manner.

Until now, the pirates breathed a sigh of relief, ordered someone to move the salt box, took the salt to the beach, and loaded the salt box onto the boat. During this time, the pirate leader did not relax his vigilance, and kept staring at the direction of the barracks. As long as there is any trouble, he will immediately drop this batch of salt and run for his life.

It wasn't until all the salt was loaded onto the boat that they didn't see any changes from the other party. The pirate watched the coast gradually move away, and he was completely relieved.

"This strange thing happens every year. Are these officers and soldiers submissive to us?" A pirate looked at the disappearing barracks on the shore, lying powerlessly in the cabin, and asked his leader.

"Hey, what do you know?" The leader of the pirates curled his lips in disdain and said, "They can't do anything about us, and they want to employ people. It's hard to say about other places, but here in Ganyu, it depends on our face, but it's okay. This time, I heard from the boss that this time they are in a hurry and have to deal with errands, so they compromised."

"Just this time, it's enough for me to wait for my brother to become famous. Look at the general's expression of wanting to do something but not daring to do it just now. It's quite funny when you think about it. I really look forward to what will happen when they do it just now?"

After a group of pirates got over the tension of facing the officers and soldiers, they now began to ridicule them. After this incident, they were less afraid of the officers and soldiers.

In the barracks, Cao Xing came to Chu Nan's side and intervened, "Sir, they're all gone."

Chu Nan nodded, didn't speak, and looked a little weird. After walking for so long, the connection between himself and the demon mantis has not stopped!
In the past, when the mantis was still the mantis king, it lost its sense when it went to the government office. Now it is far away, but it can still sense its emotions, and even the other party can give itself feedback.

"What's the next step?" Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan and asked.

The salt has been sent out, so the next step is to do it. According to Chu Nan's plan, first destroy this group of pirates and eliminate the fear of these fishermen, and then grab this Ganyu in his hands and become a fish in Lu Bu's hands. financial resources.

With this, Lu Bu will not need to worry about money in the future, and there will be more things he can do.

"Don't worry, general, make plans after finding out the truth." Chu Nan waved his hand, although Hou Cheng assured himself that as long as he was on land, there would be no problem, but Chu Nan didn't believe it. Although they are officers and soldiers, in this day and age, who knows if there are any powerful and fierce people among the bandits and grass bandits?Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a battle, at least you must first find out the opponent's way.

"The general is preparing for the battle. After knowing where the bandits are, I need to send someone to investigate."

Hou Cheng nodded depressedly. It’s not good to follow Chu Nan. He is cautious in everything. If he were replaced by Lu Bu, he might go directly to the other party’s den of thieves. A group of pirates, what is there to be afraid of...
