Hu Xiaotian also deeply agreed with Yu Tianxing's words, people will definitely choose to bow their heads in the face of reality, although Ma Xingkong is just a water thief, but he is not a fool, if he insists on fighting without any certainty of victory, he can only bury the brothers and family members of the entire Heishui Village, and the most realistic choice in front of them is to surrender.
Hu Xiaotian didn't want to kill all these water thieves, his purpose was to capture Bixin Mountain.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait a few more hours." ” Yu Tianxing said with confidence: "Wait a few more hours just to wait for the forest to dry, which will help the rocket attack, if they are obsessed, then we will launch an offensive, the west and north slopes of Bixin Mountain are many pines and cypresses, extremely flammable, we can concentrate firepower to attack there, today it is just the northwest wind, and the damp pines and cypresses will inevitably generate a lot of smoke after ignition, even if we don't attack it, they can't stand the smoke and fire, and Bixin Mountain will not attack itself." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "The military advisor really strategized and mastered all the details. ” Yu Tianxing couldn't help but show a look of pride on his face when he heard Hu Xiaotian praise him so much in public, but he still said humbly: "It's the lord who is strategizing, and his subordinates can't afford these four words." ” At dusk that day, the southern water gate of the black water village of Bixin Mountain opened, this water gate is the main gate, a big ship slowly sailed out, this is the few remaining warships in Bixin Mountain, usually the big boss is used in the air, and the white flag on the warship is displayed.
When Hu Xiaotian's generals saw the other party's warship carrying a white flag, they all knew that Heishuizhai was definitely going to surrender this time, and everyone cheered in unison, although everyone was high-spirited, but it was of course best to avoid a bloody battle, and it was the most ideal result to take Heishuizhai without spending a single soldier.
A smile also appeared on the corner of Hu Xiaotian's lips.
Before the expedition to Bixin Mountain, they have made sufficient preparations, it can be said that they have the certainty of winning this battle, and Ma Xingkong's final decision to surrender is also a wise move, in the case of the disparity in strength between the two sides, stubborn resistance can only cause greater casualties.
However, Hu Xiaotian was not carried away by the upcoming victory. whispered to everyone: "Beware of fraud, or be careful" At this time, Xiong Tianba came to report: "Lord, it is the leader of the water thieves who came to surrender, it should be right."
"This guy has some regrets in his heart, he was expecting to kill all sides, but judging from the current situation, it should be no fun.
Hu Xiaotian and Yu Tianxing glanced at each other, and both of them showed relief in their eyes, it seemed that they couldn't be wrong, since Ma Xingkong came to surrender in person. showed his sincerity, otherwise he would have no reason to risk himself.
Yu Tianxing sent the order down and asked them to take Ma Xingkong onto the big ship.
It didn't take long for Ma Xingkong and more than a dozen of his leaders to board the main ship where Hu Xiaotian was, and Xiong Tianba led Ma Xingkong to Hu Xiaotian.
Ma Xingkong said respectfully: "The grass people Ma Xingkong see Lord Hu" Hu Xiaotian looked at the horse in front of him, but saw that he was in his forties, burly, rough in appearance, and his complexion became dark due to the perennial wind and sun.
Although he came to surrender, his expression was still neither humble nor arrogant.
The gaze is unruly, revealing a reckless domineering.
Hu Xiaotian nodded to him and said, "The owner of the horse village doesn't know what happened to the owner of the village this time."
Ma Xingkong sighed and said: "Master Hu's conditions Ma already knows, Ma agreed to leave with his brothers, and dedicated Bixin Mountain to Lord Hu, I only ask Lord Hu not to embarrass my brothers, there are many old and weak women and children on Bixin Mountain."
Please also ask Lord Hu to let them live. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Since the owner of the village has agreed to my conditions, I can guarantee the safety of the lives of these people under you, and as for your families, we will not embarrass them, and wait for us to take over Bixin Mountain."
Ships were provided to let them go immediately. ” Ma Xingkong seemed to be quite satisfied with Hu Xiaotian's answer, and said respectfully: "Lord Hu, I will order them to open all the water gates and welcome the army into the port."
Yu Tianxing said: "Is the owner of the horse village still ready to go back?"
Ma Xingkong smiled indifferently: "This should be Yu Junshi, it seems that Ma is not at ease, so Ma will stay here and wait until the army fully takes over Bixin Mountain before leaving, Lord Hu, I hope you will keep your promise." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Definitely" On the arrow tower of Heishui Village, Ma Zhongtian, the master of the Shaozhai Village, and Wang Boxi, the military advisor, stood side by side, when Ma Zhongtian saw his father boarding the other party's main ship, he pursed his lips tightly, and grabbed the railing with both hands, and his inner emotions were extremely excited.
Wang Boxi couldn't help but sigh when he saw his expression and said, "The young owner of the village must not live up to the expectations of the owner of the village." ” Ma Zhongtian nodded and said: "Instead of dying on your knees, it is better to sacrifice your life to fight Li Degang" "In" Li Degang, the leader of the Water Ghost Team, appeared behind Ma Zhongtian.
Ma Zhongtian said: "You lead 800 elites of the water ghost team to dive underwater from the West Gate, they come to take over the water village, there will inevitably be many warships left in the outer waters, 20 of you are a group, a total of 40 groups, take advantage of the darkness to chisel through the bottom of the ship, only success is not allowed to fail" "Yes" After Li Degang left, Ma Zhongtian and Wang Boxi came to the temporary command post in the inner harbor of Shuizhai, where all the young commanders of Heishuizhai were waiting, and when they saw Ma Zhongtian coming in, everyone stood up and said respectfully: "Young master" Ma Zhongtian bowed his head and signaled, he came to the square table, a topographic map of the water village on the table had been unfolded, Ma Zhongtian said: "Brothers, our Heishui Village has reached the time of life and death, Hu Xiaotian led twenty warships, 15,000 elite soldiers of the Navy Division came to the city, and they came with the ambition of conquering Bixin Mountain.
They promised to choose to surrender and let us live, but we lost Bixin Mountain, and there was no place for us to live in the vast clouds, which was equivalent to a dead end for those of us who made a living on the water, so we had no choice. ” One said: "But the big boss has already decided to descend" Ma Zhongtian looked coldly at the person who spoke, and the man was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.
Ma Zhongtian said: "No one knows my father better than me, he would rather not bend in this life, even if he dies standing and refuses to kneel to live, the reason why he took the initiative to sacrifice the white flag and enter the enemy camp in person is to confuse the other party's commander, otherwise how can he win their trust."
He looked at the king.
Wang Boxi nodded, and said excitedly: "The big boss is in danger alone for the sake of our brothers, in the incident of receiving Jiang Zhengyang before, we lost most of the warships, and now all the remaining boats on the island are vulnerable boats, and they are not able to compete with the officials and soldiers at all, if they launch a long-range attack and use rockets, there will be many pines and cypresses in the northwest of the entire Bixin Mountain, and they will burn in case of fire, and the wind direction of these two days is the northwest wind, once it is burned, the fire will soon spread in Bixin Mountain."
After the rain, there will be a lot of smoke, and it will soon envelop Bixin Mountain under the blowing of the northwest wind. ” Ma Zhongtian said: "We can only be beaten passively when attacking from afar, since we have lost the advantage of the boat, we can only use our strengths and avoid weaknesses and bring them in to fight."
The commanders present all looked at Ma Zhongtian and said in unison: "Young village master, we all obey your command, even if we give up this life, we will desperately save Heishui Village." ” Ma Zhongtian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Although the official army is menacing, they don't know the internal structure of Heishui Village, as long as they dare to go deep into the interior of Water Village, we will have a chance to win."
He pointed to the topographic map: "Although the waterway to the inner harbor can be used by their warships, there is a dark gate under the waterway, and as long as they enter the water, we can make their warships useless."
Zhou Sheng, you lead a thousand men to ambush at Mingjing Slope, and once the ships of the official army enter the water village, you activate the mechanism and launch an attack on the waterway from the hillside with rolling logs and stones, and strive to inflict the greatest losses on the opponent's fleet. ” "Yes" "Fang Guangping, you prepare at the evil retribution pool, once the other party finds out that we are attacking them, they will definitely forcibly get off the boat and land, before they get off the boat, open the evil retribution pool and release the piranfish, as long as they dare to enter the waterway, let them have no corpses" "Yes" "Jiang Xiuzheng" "In" "You led 5,000 brothers to mingle with the old and weak, women and children, and used them as a cover to fight each other head-on" "Yes" The waterway gates of Heishui Village have all been opened, Hu Xiaotian looked at the white flags waving everywhere in the water village, and he had some doubts in his heart for some reason, this victory came too easily, and he even doubted that there would be fraud in it.
He called Yu Tianxing aside and said in a low voice: "Strategist, I don't know why, I always feel that things are going too well, there should be no fraud in this nonsense."
Yu Tianxing said with a smile: "He shouldn't joke with his life, and he has already opened all the gates of the Water Village, we only need to control the gate of the Water Village first, and then send someone to take over the Water Village Arrow Tower, so that we are not afraid of what they will do." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "You still need to be cautious in everything. ” At this time, a white light swooped in from the air and landed at the stern of the ship, but it was Xia Changming, who went to spy over Bixin Mountain, came back, Hu Xiaotian said: "Changming, you came just in time, how is the situation?"
Xia Changming said: "There is nothing unusual in Heishui Village for the time being, the water thieves have begun to gather in the open area, taking the initiative to discard their weapons, it seems that they should be preparing to surrender." “ Yu Tianxing said: "Count them wisely and congratulate the lord" Hu Xiaotian looked at the sky in the distance, and there should be two hours before it gets dark.
Yu Tianxing said: "Please give the order" Hu Xiaotian said: "Everything is arranged by the military advisor" There is no suspicion that there is no suspicion in employing people, since Yu Tianxing has been appointed as his military advisor, he must show his trust in him at a critical moment.
