A few days later, after making arrangements for the guard station, Jiang Hao took the three girls out to sea. This time it was not for fun, but to conduct a survey of the nearby area.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang are areas hardest hit by Japanese pirates. Many Japanese pirates have taken over coastal villages and even towns as strongholds. Dongfang Bubai's stronghold is just one of the larger ones. There are many more scattered Japanese pirates, ranging from three to four hundred.

There were only a few dozen people.

Don't underestimate the Japanese pirates, who number in the dozens. It has been recorded that a group of more than 70 Japanese pirates killed more than 4,000 Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians, burning, killing and looting all the way, and almost reached Nanjing.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Jiang Hao stretched out his hand. There were countless seagulls flying around. From time to time, one would land on his hand. He stroked the seagull's head, used his animal communication skills to tame it, and issued an investigation order. He raised his hand.

, this little guy flew away into the distance.

In this way, Jiang Hao worked all morning and tamed 50 seagulls before he gave up. Seagulls are elves on the sea and are not afraid of storms. Having these scouts snooping around is more effective than any scouts.

The three girls stood on the deck and looked at Jiang Hao who was standing on the roof of the cabin. Although they knew that their young master had this ability, they still felt it was magical.

The flying range of seagulls is very wide. In the next few days, Jiang Hao received reports from seagulls one after another, and he had a more intuitive impression of the situation along the coast. It was as if the full monitoring satellite was turned on. Jiang Hao also had an idea of ​​the next move.

plan.

Returning to Putuo Guards five days later, Jiang Hao drew several red circles on the map and clicked on them with his finger, "I'll start with you first."

The entire Putuo Guardhouse is now alive. The soldiers have stepped up their training, including knife and shield, spear, bow and arrow fighting, and artillery shooting. Jiang Hao took out the red cannon and asked the generals to build a new gun mount.

Installed on two battleships, the soldiers were ordered to go to sea to train and test guns.

The workshop stepped up the production of cannonballs and gunpowder. As soon as they were produced, boxes were loaded onto the ship. They were busy like this for more than 20 days. Everything was ready. Jiang Hao was already waiting impatiently. After telling Yuan De to look after the house, he

, took two five-masted warships and all the soldiers to sea the next day.

On the bow of the ship, Jiang Hao looked at the endless sea in the distance. He took out his telescope and looked at it. Several thousand households stood behind him. Shen Yi looked at Jiang Hao and asked, "Sir, who are we going to fight this time?"

"

"Get on the map." Jiang Hao said.

Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a guard uniform next to him, immediately took out a map, opened it with Ping'er, and held it up in front of everyone. Jiang Hao stepped forward, pointed at the map and said: "This is Xiangshan, along the coast of Xiangshan. Here, there are also

There are several places here where Japanese pirates gather, ranging from three to four hundred to dozens of people. I am going to capture them first."

"Do you even know how many of them there are?" Xu Quan asked curiously.

"Haha, I even know how many boats they have, how to build a stronghold, and how to defend themselves against the enemy." Jiang Hao said confidently.

Several households were astonished that the garrison master had been away for a few days and came back knowing so much information. He didn't know how to conduct the investigation and how many spies he had invested. They didn't know that Jiang Hao's spies were the seagulls flying on the bow of the ship.

After traveling for a day, they repaired in a bay. During dinner, Jiang Hao said to several hundred households: "Let's set out before dawn tomorrow and act before sunrise to capture the first target."

"Yes, sir."

"Tell the brothers, in addition to sharing, as long as you kill a real Japanese, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver when you see the head. You can cooperate. They have the final say how to divide." Jiang Hao said.

Several hundred households were refreshed. This was a naked temptation of money. You know, the soldiers' monthly salary was only 4 taels of silver. Killing a real Japanese would give you 1 or 2 taels of silver, which was more profitable than anything else.

"Sir, is one tael of silver too expensive?" Shen Yi asked.

"Hahaha," Jiang Hao laughed a few times, "It's not expensive. One tael of silver can kill a Japanese pirate. I'm willing to spend a million taels to kill him, so I'll just give him the order. But remember, as long as it's really a Japanese pirate, Han people are thieves, women and children are not included."

"yes!"

After the news spread, the soldiers on the two ships all cheered, and their spirits were high, as if they saw the white money before their eyes.

Early in the morning.

Before the sun came up, the two boats were already moving towards a Japanese pirate gathering place. This gathering place was originally a seaside fishing village. All the people in the village were killed by the Japanese pirates, and the place was occupied by the Japanese pirates.

In the offshore area, I heard two ships, both three-masted ships with 200 materials. The two ships sneaked closer. After getting close, they immediately started a boarding battle. They threw grappling hooks and cables to catch the gangs of the two ships. This time I can't even run away.

The sudden noise woke up the Japanese pirates who were watching the boat. Someone rushed out immediately. After seeing the Ming army's boat, they loudly called the police, "There are Ming troops coming. Come out and fight with them."

Jiang Hao took a look and said to the three women beside him: "You three go to the first ship and kill everyone on board. I will go to the second ship."

As he spoke, he touched the deck of the ship with his feet, jumped up a few feet, tapped the mast again, and flew towards the ship like a roc.

It was the first time that the soldiers saw Jiang Hao perform martial arts, and their eyes widened in shock, "Oh my God, it turns out that the martial arts of our guards are so powerful, they can fly."

"Hey, look, the three guards beside the Lord have also passed by, stepping on the cables. They are so handsome."

Jiang Hao landed on the deck of the ship, and several Japanese pirates rushed towards him with their swords raised. Jiang Hao paid no attention to these small fish and shrimps. He stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a few darts flew out. The Japanese pirates were immediately hit. It gave me a chill.

The three of them were unequivocal. They quickly killed several Japanese pirates on the boat with one sword strike. At this time, the two boats began to gather together. The soldiers jumped over, searched the boats, and cleared out a few more Japanese pirates. The two boats The boat was taken over by them.

You know, a big ship is expensive to build. Even if there is no other gain this time, having two ships is worth the trip.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sir, a lot of supplies were found in the cabin, including food and silk and porcelain. It doesn't look like a batch of things, but more like what was collected by bandits during robbery." A hundred. Come over and report the report.

Jiang Hao smiled coldly: "It must be the coastal people who robbed us. Let's go and clean up the Japanese at the gathering place."

Two transfer ships approached the pier, and the muzzles of the huge red cannons were pointed in the direction of the gathering place. Jiang Hao ordered: "Use explosive bombs, give me two rounds of bombs first, and then the commando team will go ashore. Regardless of whether the Japanese are real or fake,

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Tornadoes of flames shot out from the muzzle, and the huge shells flew out and exploded immediately after flying into the village. The wooden houses in the village were immediately blown to pieces. Some of the Japanese pirates who were still sleeping were killed by the explosion while they were still dreaming.

Many people woke up and rushed out with knives in hand, but just after running a few steps, another bomb flew towards him. By coincidence, it hit this guy.

"Pah~puff!"

The Japanese pirate was directly smashed into a pulp, and his flesh and blood were scattered all over the place.

"boom!"

The shell hit the foundation of a house and exploded again, blowing the entire house away.

At this time, the gathering place was in chaos. Some people fled in panic, and some were crying and screaming. After two rounds of shelling, the gathering place was bombed beyond recognition. Jiang Hao gave an order, "Go ashore and kill the Japanese."

"Kill!"

More than 500 soldiers charged at the village with swords and guns. They would kill the Japanese whenever they saw them without mercy. Jiang Hao had already formulated a strategy for them before. They had swords, shields, spears, bows and arrows. They were in groups of three. Each group was a minimum combat unit.

In this way, when facing Japanese pirates, you can have both defense and offense, which can take great advantage.

A bloody Japanese pirate with half a bald head and a samurai sword in his hand confronted three guardsmen. At this moment, the guy's eyes widened with anger, and he roared "Baga" and raised his sword towards a

The guardsmen cut them down.

"Bayou?"

The shield soldier raised his shield to block it, and the pike soldier behind him fired a shot. The Japanese pirate was so frightened that he could only retreat. At this time, the archer behind him took action and hit the Japanese pirate's ribs with an arrow. The Japanese pirate retreated in pain.

After a few steps, the wooden clogs on my feet made a clanking sound.

"Baga!" the Japanese pirate roared.

"I told you, what are you talking about? There's no point in screaming ghosts." Several guys rushed towards the Japanese pirates together. This is one tael of silver. Even if three people share it, it is almost enough for one person to pay for a month.

.

"block."

"Archery."

"Thrust."

Poof~~!

The Japanese pirate looked at the spear pierced into his chest and fell down unwillingly. Before he could pick it up, the sword and shield soldier jumped over and chopped off the guy's head with a knife. The Japanese pirate never closed his eyes until he died.

The sword and shield soldier lifted up the Japanese pirate's head with a grin, and said with a smile: "Look, this guy has a pig tail, just for carrying it. Did he know in advance that one day he would be beheaded?

That’s why you have your hair styled like this?”

"Stop talking nonsense and find the next one quickly. I think Li Ermao's gang of bastards have killed two of them. If we don't grab it, we may be gone." The archer cursed.

"Really, that's right, look for it quickly, it's all money." The sword and shield soldier said, tying the head with a rope, hanging it directly on his waist, and ran forward.

Scenes like this can be seen throughout the battlefield. Jiang Hao's white rice and fat meat are not for free. After eating for a month, the bodies of these soldiers are much stronger than before. Coupled with intensive training,

There is also reasonable fighting coordination, and the combat effectiveness is not even a bit stronger than before.

I really thought that Jiang Hao's money was free of charge. This is called raising people. Only by raising soldiers can they have fighting strength. Now the results are showing, and they are full of energy when killing people.

Jiang Hao watched from a distance, but there was no helper. He would only take action unless someone with high martial arts skills appeared, just to cultivate the combat power of these soldiers. A commander is a commander after all, and he cannot always charge into battle alone, otherwise it would be meaningless.

Lan Fenghuang stood next to Jiang Hao, looking at the battlefield in the distance and said: "It is said that the Japanese are very powerful. If one is worth a hundred, I think they are nothing more than that."

Jiang Hao said softly: "Let me tell you a story. A farmer picked an egg from an eagle's nest and let his hen hatch it. After the eagle was born, it stayed with the hen all day long, but it never flew again.

, he has degenerated, he does not know that he is an eagle soaring in the blue sky and looking down on the world, and his temperament has been castrated."

"Just like before, when the Ming Dynasty's army saw the Japanese, they were only afraid and wanted to run away. Do you think it is possible to win?"

Ping'er usually has a very good relationship with the eagle A'Diao. Recently, she has been feeding him. She asked, "Sir, what happened to that eagle in the end?"

"A passerby saw the eagle and felt it was a pity, so he spent money to buy it. He wanted to train the eagle to fly into the sky, and he released it again and again, but the eagle only flew a few times before falling down.

It pecks on the ground like a hen."

"Finally, the person who bought the eagle carried the eagle to the edge of the cliff and threw the eagle out with all his strength. The eagle felt the crisis, and finally spread its wings, soared into the sky, and flew into the blue sky."

After hearing this, Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Young master is the one who threw the eagle off the cliff. These people used to be afraid of fighting. You used several methods to bring out the bloody nature in their bones."
