Chapter 797

The result of the battle on yuzhoushan island was not unexpected. It was not easy for thousands of people to attack the unprepared Island, and for famous historical generals like Jiang Qin. If the two armies meet at sea, it is estimated that there will be at least several times more casualties, and some ships will certainly be lost.

Seeing that he had not been able to catch up with the war, Huangfu Chaobo was very disappointed. Now he had already reflected why Pang Tong's face had a strange smile when his ship left. It turned out that the guy had already thought of this situation.

Half an hour later, Jiang Qin had calmed down the resistance on the island, and only a few dozen of nearly a thousand pirates and more than two thousand family members fled into the mountains on the island, but these people could not escape.

For the rest of the people, more than 200 pirates died in the war. Eight of the pirates' ships were damaged and eight of them sank. All the other 35 were captured. Among them, there are 12 sand ships, 8 ordinary merchant ships and 15 sentry ships and fishing boats.

Jiang Qin arranged the affairs on the island, arranged the security defense, and immediately returned to the ship to report the war situation to Huangfu Chaobo.

While listening to Jiang Qin's report, Huangfu Chaobo got off the boat and headed for the island. When his feet set foot on the land again, he breathed a long sigh of relief. People who had never been out of the sea suddenly wandered on the sea for nearly half a month, which made Huangfu Chaobo's whole life a little floating.

Now I can finally stand on the land safely. After Huangfu Chaobo was settled, my mind slowly returned to the right track. A little meditation, said: "count out the harvest? And immediately send someone to ask the people here to see how many craftsmen there are and whether they can make sea going ships. "

"My subordinates have already sent people to deal with these matters, and there should be an answer soon."

As they were talking, a captain of the Navy stepped forward quickly and said, "see you, general. I've made it clear that these pirates are famous pirates in the East Sea. Their names are Hailong gang."

Hailong Gang is a pirate Gang rising in the East China Sea in recent years. It has plundered many places along the coast of Xuzhou. However, there is no strong water army in Xuzhou. In addition, Tao Qian has been unable to cope with the attack of Cao Cao, so he has no intention to wipe out the pirates.

In addition, their scope of activities did not enter Jiangdong at all, and there was basically no conflict with the Jiangdong aristocratic family, so no one paid any attention to them in Jiangdong, and now there are not many caravan exchanges between the north and the south, so no one paid any attention to them.

There are more than 1000 pirates, more than 50 ships and more than 2000 family members in Hailong gang.

In the past few years, there was no rival in the East China Sea, which made them relax their vigilance. This time, Jiang Qin's water army suddenly came, and the Hailong gang did not expect it at all, so they were all blocked on the island.

More than 3000 people, except for hundreds of dead and wounded, were basically captured. Among the more than 2000 people, there were indeed several craftsmen, three of whom knew how to build and repair ships.

As for the other properties of the pirates, they are still in the process of counting, and the specific quantity has not been given yet.

Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said, "bring all the three boatmen. I have something to ask."

A moment later, an old man and two middle-aged people were brought here. They were all dressed up as typical fishermen by the sea. Their skin was dark and they were dressed in rags. When they saw Huangfu Chaobo, they immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing: "Xiaomin, please forgive me, general!"

Huangfu Chaobo was too lazy to talk nonsense and said, "who among you can build a sea boat?"

The old man looked up and said, "general Hui, the little old man can build sand boats. These two are my sons. They can only repair ships for the time being. They haven't learned how to build ships yet."

"Did you build all these sand boats?" Pointing to the twelve ships on the sea, he asked;

"general Hui, five of them were made by little old men, and the rest were looted by big leaders from other places." Seeing that the general in front of him seemed to be very interested in sea going ships, the little old man boldly said,

"how big a sand boat will you build?"

"There's no problem with sand boats under 3000 stone. No matter how big they are, they haven't been built yet, and they can be transformed into warships."

Everyone's eyes brightened, especially Jiang Qin. In fact, the Nu Tao camp suffered a lot from the naval battle just now. There were several small catapults and several pouting crossbows on the sand boats, all of which were the weapons of war.

There are still some pirates on several sand ships. It's just that the Nu Tao camp is coming too fast, so the pirates on the sand ship can only launch stones at Nu Tao camp a few times before they are close to melee and then annihilated by superior forces.

If this old man can make sand ships, the strength of Anton's navy will increase a lot.

After chatting with the old boatman surnamed Guo for a while, Huangfu Chaobo confirmed that he had indeed picked up a treasure. The old man and his two sons, Guo DA and Guo Er San, were all shipbuilders. Old Guo was able to build sand boats with less than 3000 stones, and install weapons such as catapults and bed crossbows on the sand boats.

His two sons, in fact, are craftsmen with relatively good qualifications. It's only because the materials on the island are limited that they can't practice their skills. So far, they haven't learned how to build sand boats. However, there is no problem in repairing ships. After all, pirate ships are often damaged, so they often repair ships under the command of old man Guo.As for the rest of the people on the island, except for a large number of fishermen, they are all ordinary people. Of course, the captured pirates are the best source of soldiers for the water soldiers, and Jiang Qin will certainly not let them go.

At this time, Pang Tong's men had already got off the boat. After carefully observing the situation on the island, he said to Huangfu Chaobo: "Lord, this island is really a good place. It's only a few miles away from Xuzhou Qu county, and Xuzhou has not been able to threaten our navy. If I develop this place as a base, I will attack Xuzhou and send out a surprise army from there, Cao Cao Cao Jun I'll take it by surprise. "

After listening to Pang Tong's words, old man Guo, who was not too far away from them, suddenly said, "report to the general, there is a valley in the mountains several miles north of the island, which is about ten miles in size."

When they heard this, they both looked happy. They didn't expect that there was a hole in the island. For a moment, they both thought of building a small town level territory near the sea in the south of the island to hide people's eyes and ears, and building a garrison in the valley of the island. At that time, thousands or even tens of thousands of troops could be hidden on this island. When the time came to send troops to Xuzhou, it would definitely give Cao Cao a fatal blow.
