At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 564

As the sun set, golden snakes danced wildly on the sea. Gao Kaidao was shirtless on the upper body, and only wore an apron-like thing on the lower body, revealing two hairy thighs.

I saw Gao Kaidao sitting directly on the deck, gnawing on a golden-grilled leg of lamb in his left hand, and holding a wine jar in his right hand, drinking a sip of wine after gnawing on the mutton, very enjoyable.

Next to him was a man named Zhang Jinshu, Gao Kaidao's number one confidant, quite courageous, at the moment he was holding a captive woman under his body, and he actually did that thing that both men and gods hated in full view , and the woman was probably numb, and let her do what she did without moving.

After finishing the matter, Zhang Jinshu kicked the woman away, then sat down directly beside Gao Kaidao, tore a piece of roast mutton and ate it, while saying: "It's still rich in Youzhou, and Hejian County is full of poor ghosts. Not much, Boss Gao, why don’t we grab Yongnu County again on our return trip, hey, talking about Boss Gao’s doggerel, if Gao Changqing, the governor of Youzhou, sees it, he will definitely vomit blood.”

Gao Kaidao sneered and said, "Youzhou doesn't have a boat that can go to sea, so what can he do to me? However, the towns along the coast of Youzhou must have stepped up their guards, and the business may not be so easy to do."

Zhang Jinshu said disapprovingly: "The coast is so long, no matter how strong Youzhou is, it's impossible to send people to guard it. Now that the autumn is high and the horses are fat, let's take advantage of the opportunity to fight him again. After winter comes It's even harder to grab."

Gao Kaidao had already eaten the roast leg of lamb at this time, threw the bone to the woman, stood up and stretched his waist, and said: "Let's see, if there is a chance, I can give him a few votes."

Gao Kaidao looked up at the sunset in the west, and a flying eagle was slowly gliding past the big ship.Eagles are so common, Gao Kaidao didn't care, he picked up the woman who was still licking the bones of the leg of lamb, and walked into the cabin...

On the second day, the boat sailed to the coast of Fengnan County, Yuyang County. Gao Kaidao ordered the boat to dock. Zhang Jinshu couldn't help wondering: "Boss Gao, haven't we already snatched this place?"

Gao Kaidao slyly smiled and said, "If you snatch it once, can't you snatch it a second time?"

Zhang Jinshu's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Boss Gao is worthy of being Boss Gao, this plan is extremely clever, we snatched it here once, the other party must think that we will never come again, but we just did the opposite. Surprise him again."

Gao Kaidao waved his hand and said with a smirk: "Stop the fucking nonsense, hurry up and work, I must die before the tide ebbs."

Zhang Jinshu asked in astonishment: "Boss Gao, are you not going ashore?"

Gao Kaidao stared: "Nonsense, if I have to do it myself every time, what use is it for me to support you guys?"

Zhang Jinshu smiled awkwardly, and had no choice but to row ashore with dozens of brothers and head towards a nearby village and town, while Gao Kaidao nimbly climbed up to the watchtower on the mast, paying attention to the movement on the shore.

I have to say that this Gao Kaidao is quite cunning. Although he attacked Fengnan County unexpectedly for the second time, for the sake of safety, he did not take action himself. Unfortunately, his calculation was wrong this time, and the person he had to face was Xu Shiji.

"Hey, this eagle... is it the one from yesterday?"

Gao Kaidao suddenly noticed an eagle circling above his head. It seemed a little familiar, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. However, the eagle flew away after circling a few times, and there was no abnormality on the shore or sea. Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and thought secretly: "It seems that I am suspicious!"

Let's say that the golden tree took people ashore and walked for several miles, and found that many farmers were harvesting crops in the field. Rolling and crawling, he ran to the distant village.

Zhang Jinshu was not surprised but pleased when he saw this. It seemed that these two-legged sheep had really learned their skills, and they even sent someone to warn them, but the two-legged sheep were still two-legged sheep when they ran back to the sheepfold, and it was easier to catch them.

"Haha, brothers, it's time to eat meat. It's still the old rule. [-]% of the things you grab will be handed over, and [-]% will be kept by yourself!" Zhang Jinshu swung his sword and took the lead to rush into the village. Sixty or seventy pirates under his command Immediately, as if he had beaten a few catties of chicken blood, he rushed towards the village screaming.

It turned out to be a tragedy. As soon as these pirates rushed near the entrance of the village, a wave of deadly arrows shot at them head-on, instantly shooting down a large crop like cutting wheat. Zhang Jinshu, who ran at the front, was the worst, with dozens of wounds Arrow, like a hedgehog, was beyond recognition.

The rest of the pirates were scared out of their wits, turned around and ran away, but the sound of horseshoes sounded loudly, and a light cavalry rushed out of the village brazenly, slaughtering more than half of the remaining pirates like cutting melons and vegetables, and there were 30 people Was captured on the spot.

Xu Shiji seemed to like wearing a bamboo hat very much. He wore a flowing black gown and rode out from the village under the guard of his own soldiers.

"Sir Sima, I have just interrogated the captives. They were indeed the remnants of Ge Qian's command. The leader called Gao Kaidao, but they didn't go ashore and are still waiting on the boat."

Xu Shiji said lightly: "It doesn't matter, he can't escape." After speaking, he left some people to clean up the battlefield, and then led the team to the beach.

Let’s talk about Gao Kaidao, who has been standing on the watchtower to pay attention to the situation on the shore. When he suddenly saw yellow dust rising, he couldn’t help being surprised and suspicious. He has been fighting with Geqian for several years, and he still has a lot of experience. When he saw the dust, he guessed It was caused by the cavalry.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw a cavalry galloping towards the beach, and Gao Kaidao's face instantly became extremely ugly. It's over, Zhang Jinshu and the others are probably in danger!

At this moment, Gao Kaidao was both shocked and thankful, thankful that he was cautious and did not go ashore, otherwise he would have to be angry on the spot.

At that moment, Gao Kaidao didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered to raise the sails to prepare to leave, but before the sails were fully raised, more than a dozen small boats appeared out of nowhere, and surrounded them from all directions.

Gao Kaidao frowned when he saw this, he thought it was a surprise, but he just got into someone's trap, but Gao Kaidao couldn't figure it out, the sea is so big and the coastline is so long, why the other party can set up here in advance Laying an ambush, does the other party calculate that he will dock here?

Of course Xu Shiji wasn't able to pinch and count, but he had received a notice from Gao Bufan that this band of pirates had already gone to Hejian County, so he expected that the other party would return sooner or later, so he released seven or eight falcons, taking turns to Surveillance near the coast.

And not only Xu Shiji did this, but Yuchi Jingde and Gao Bufan did it too. It can be said that the coasts of Zhuo County, Yuyang County and Beiping County are monitored by falcons for twelve hours, so as soon as the two ships Gao Kaidao appeared It was discovered early.

The galloping speed of the cavalry on the shore would not be slower than that of the sailboat, so Xu Shiji was able to make a troop deployment in advance based on the information provided by the falcon.

Gao Kaidao didn't panic when he saw more than a dozen small boats coming up, because these small boats could only paddle twice in the offshore, and could not enter the depths of the sea. Later, when his two big boats swelled up their sails and hit them directly, it would be enough for the enemy to drink. Pot up.

However, Gao Kaidao's optimism did not last long, because those boats fired, yes, they fired! ! !
Gao Kaidao suddenly noticed that a huge slingshot was installed on the bow of those small boats, which could only be pulled apart by the joint efforts of two soldiers. The smoke was thrown towards the big ship. Although the accuracy was not very good, one or two were successfully thrown onto the big ship after all.

Gao Kaidao thought it was something like poisonous smoke, but it exploded on the ship, leaving a big hole in the deck, and two unlucky guys approached out of curiosity to observe, and were blown to pieces on the spot. There were also many people nearby who were cut by the splashing iron pieces and howled all over the place.

It turns out that these black, round and grunting things are an upgraded version of firecracker mines. They are made of hollowed out wood and filled with a lot of gunpowder, as well as iron nails and caltrops. They are more powerful and have a larger killing area. Bigger, of course, is also more expensive.

Originally, Gao Bufan wanted to cast it with pig iron, but the iron material was too precious, and he had to save it to make weapons and armors, so Wei Zheng and the others rejected it. In the end, he decided to make the outer shell out of wood and painted it with black paint. paint, and named it Feitianlei
This time, the pirates on the boat were all stunned, and Gao Kaidao was also frightened. What the hell is this?
At this time, the second wave of flying thunder flew over again. With the first test, the second wave was obviously more accurate. Four or five landed on the bow of the big ship where Gao Kaidao was. The pirates on board He was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms, avoiding as far as possible.

Boom boom boom...

The big ship was blown to pieces, and the pirates were in a mess, crying and howling.The Youzhou army on the small boat took the opportunity to speed up and approached, shooting arrows one after another at the boat, then grabbed the side of the boat with flying claws, and climbed onto the big boat desperately.

Gao Kaidao was startled and anxious, swiped his knife and knocked down a retreating pirate, and shouted sharply: "Hold me, the retreater dies!"

Gao Kaidao killed several of his subordinates in a row, and then he was able to stabilize his position. As a result, one after another, bamboo tubes emitting white smoke were thrown up from the boat below, blowing up the pirate ship on the spot. The formation immediately became chaotic again.

Seeing that the Youzhou army kept climbing up, and the number was increasing, Gao Kaidao also knew that the situation was over, so he jumped into the sea with a piece of wood in his arms, trying to escape from the sea, but before he could swim far, a small boat chased after him. When it comes up, the pocket is a fishing net cast down.

"Caught it, caught it!" The Youzhou army on the boat pulled up the net excitedly, dragged Gao Kaidao onto the boat, and tied it tightly.
