The Black Dragon's confidant was scared out of his wits. Buying weapons and slaying a Black Dragon, wasn't it obvious enough? He was preparing to attack the Black Dragon. Slaying a Black Dragon was most likely referring to slaying a Black Dragon. There were no other dragons in the Black Dragon Sea Region. After hearing this news, the confidant was ready to leave. However, he thought that it was not the time to leave yet. Since he was already here, he naturally had to investigate the island and see the Black Wolf's troops and deployment situation. Only after figuring out the situation could he provide better advice to the Black Dragon.
He quietly went to the island to eat with the little pirate and chatted casually, but his eyes were constantly observing the surroundings. It was obvious that he wanted to investigate. Even after eating, he used the excuse of taking a walk to digest the food as an excuse to let the little pirate accompany him to wander around the island. They visited almost all the places on the island. Of course, he naturally didn't go to some of the corners that obviously couldn't hide too many people, and the Tang dynasty's troops just happened to be hiding in the underground hideouts at the bottom of these corners.
"Brother, it's getting dark. Let's hurry to Black Dragon Island! When we get to Black Dragon Island, follow me. I guarantee that your life will be better than now. "
The Black Dragon's confidant said with a smile.
The little pirate quickly showed an excited look and said, "Thank you, Big Brother. Don't worry, I'll follow you in the future. I'll do whatever Big Brother asks me to do."
"Good, good brother. Let's go!"
The Black Dragon's confidant took the little pirate to the dock, and then quickly left Black Wolf Island while the sky was still bright.
"Brother, I didn't see Black Wolf and the other Kings on the island just now. There were more than ten people blocking the entrance of the courtyard where King Black Wolf lives, not letting anyone in. What are they doing? They look like they're about to face a great enemy."
The Black Dragon's confidant asked.
The little pirate said with a smile, "Who knows? These things have nothing to do with us. Who told us not to be Kings? However, it's strange these days. King Black Tiger and King Black Panther often send people over, but I don't know what they're up to. Oh right, King Black Tiger is also more extravagant than before. He actually sent a lot of food and drink to our Black Wolf Island. Just the pork alone is more than 3,000 pounds, and the vegetables are more than 10,000 pounds. I've never seen him so generous before. Today, it's even stranger. The three Kings have all come to our Black Wolf Island. A few days ago, King Black Tiger asked our King to build him an ironclad ship and ordered a lot of heavy crossbows. There are 100 heavy crossbows, and I don't know what they're up to. The two Kings, Black Panther and Black Dog, also ordered weapons. Because the craftsmen on Red Iron Island really can't do so much work, His Majesty sent people outside to buy them. I heard that there's a workshop specialized in making weapons on Red Shrimp Island 500 miles away. As long as you have enough money, you can buy enough goods there. "
The Black Dragon's confidant smiled and didn't say anything else. However, his eyes turned very quickly, and there was even a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.
At this moment, Ang Lee and his subordinates walked out of the underground weapon hideout on Black Wolf Island. Although the underground space was big enough to accommodate thousands of people, the underground smell was obviously not friendly enough. If one stayed in this underground environment for a long time, it would have a certain impact on one's body. However, in order to confuse the pirates and reduce the casualties of his subordinates, he had no choice but to do so.
"It's really suffocating. This confidant of the Black Dragon is really patient. He actually stayed on the island for four hours. The smell in this weapon hideout is really bad."
Ang Lee exclaimed as he walked out of the weapon hideout and breathed in the fresh air outside.
The smell in the weapon hideout was really bad. After all, it was underground and the air was naturally not fresh enough. In addition, this weapon hideout was built recently. Because it had only been built for a short period of time, many of the facilities inside were very simple and crude. They hadn't been treated to a certain extent, so the smell was naturally stronger. However, this was because Ang Lee had only stayed down for a short period of time. If he stayed down for a long time, he probably wouldn't be able to smell anything. Once he got used to it, he wouldn't be able to smell anything. If he felt that a place was smelly, it was because he hadn't stayed there long enough.
"Assistant Minister Li, this confidant of the Black Dragon has already come over to take a look. I wonder if he will attack Black Wolf Island tonight."
Chen Long said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Regardless of whether the Black Dragon and his pirates come or not, we have to be fully prepared and wait for the Black Dragon's attack. Let more than half of the soldiers rest immediately. Only then can we have the energy to fight at night."
According to Ang Lee's conjecture, as long as the Black Dragon believed him, he would definitely attack at night without any delay. After all, if he gave the other party too much time to prepare, he would be in danger. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party's leaders were gathered on Black Wolf Island and immediately launching a surprise attack on Black Wolf Island was undoubtedly the best way. Calculating the time, it would be almost midnight by the time the Black Dragon's confidant returned to the Black Dragon Island. After some preparations, it would probably be midnight, and the journey would take more than four hours. Therefore, when they really arrived at Black Wolf Island, dawn would probably not be far away. The period before dawn happened to be the time when one's guard was the most relaxed. Launching a surprise attack at this time would undoubtedly achieve the best results. As long as the Black Dragon wasn't stupid, he would definitely choose this time.
Because the possibility of the Black Dragon's surprise attack in the latter half of the night was very high, Ang Lee ordered his soldiers to go back and have a good rest. They would prepare for battle before midnight. Previously, only a few people were needed. Since they were going to ambush the Black Dragon, there were naturally places where they could set up an ambush and places where they couldn't. For example, they couldn't set up an ambush at the wharf. Otherwise, the Black Dragon would immediately escape when he saw that the situation was not right.
In addition, the ambush troops didn't have to be on the island. A large number of troops could also be deployed on the sea. Ang Lee would allocate half of his troops to the sea. These troops were already in preparation at this time. Most of the combat ships were not on Black Wolf Island, but after nightfall, these combat ships would return one after another. After the soldiers boarded the ships, they could wait for the Black Wolf's surprise attack near Black Wolf Island. As long as the Black Wolf and his pirates entered the harbor and successfully landed on the shore, they would immediately be attacked by the Tang dynasty's officers and soldiers from both sea and land. Thus, these pirates would suffer heavy losses and greatly reduce the casualties of the Tang dynasty's soldiers.
For this ambush, Ang Lee and his soldiers carried out very strict preparations. Every detail was carefully considered, for fear of exposing a flaw and letting the Black Dragon find out. If the Black Dragon found out that this was a scam, the plan would have no value. They had to make the Black Dragon believe in them. In addition, the deployment of the ambush troops was also very important. They had to be hidden well and not be discovered by the Black Dragon and his pirates.
"Assistant Minister Li, don't worry. As long as the Black Dragon's pirates enter Black Wolf Island, none of them will be able to escape. None of them will be able to escape."
Chen Long promised solemnly.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "I'm still very confident in my soldiers. It's just that I'm not sure if the Black Dragon will really come and how many people he can send. If all of them come, that would be the best. We can catch them all in one fell swoop."
"What's Assistant Minister Li worried about? As long as the Black Dragon believes, he will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In addition, there should be no less than a hundred guards left on Black Dragon Island. After all, Black Dragon Island is their foundation and a nest that they can't lose. I estimate that there are less than five hundred people who can attack Black Wolf Island, or maybe even less. After all, we only revealed a little more than a hundred people. We don't need to dispatch too many people to eliminate a hundred people. "
Chen Long said.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "These are all our speculations. I'm just afraid that there will be some variables! Let's hope everything goes well! "
The Black Dragon's confidant finally returned to Black Dragon Island after nightfall. As soon as he arrived on the island, he rode to the Black Dragon's residence on horseback.
At this time, it wasn't time to sleep yet. The Black Dragon was taking a stroll in the courtyard of his residence. When he saw his confidant return, he quickly asked, "How's the situation? Are the four of them really going to rebel?"
The confidant hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, are they really going to rebel? … "
He told everything he knew to the Black Dragon Emperor. He didn't miss a single detail. In fact, he even embellished some details to make the situation more serious so that the Black Dragon Emperor would believe him more easily.
"What? They actually want to slay a dragon, slay a dragon, slay a dragon. They want to kill me! These guys are really bold. They actually want to kill me. I've treated them well! "
The Black Dragon roared angrily.
Although as the Great Emperor, the Black Dragon's status was higher than the other four, they weren't really subordinates. It was just a title in name. A group of a few hundred pirates could still call themselves Emperors and Kings. Outsiders wouldn't take it seriously. The Archipelago was also considered remote. Outsiders probably didn't know the situation here. Even if they knew, they wouldn't take it to heart. Since ancient times, all the bandit leaders who occupied an area liked to call themselves Kings. Even if they only had a few dozen brothers, they still dared to call themselves Kings. It wasn't strange for them to call themselves Emperors. Anyway, the mountains were high and the Emperor was far away. No one could control them. Even if they made a set of dragon robes and wore them, who could do anything to them? Finding them would be a problem. They hid in the mountains and seas. As long as they didn't come out, the soldiers might not be able to find them. Although the Emperor couldn't tolerate such rebellious behavior since ancient times, it didn't matter if they did these rebellious things outside the Emperor's jurisdiction. Even if the Emperor knew, what could he do? He couldn't possibly go to the mountains and seas to search for them over such a small matter! At least, the Black Dragon had been the Great Emperor here for many years, and no imperial court had come to find trouble with him.
"Great Emperor, the four of them are now on Black Wolf Island. It seems that they will be staying there tonight. This is a good opportunity. As long as we launch a surprise attack on Black Wolf Island tonight, we can capture all four of them. In this way, the people under them will not be a problem."
The confidant said.
The Black Dragon nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Capture the ringleader first. As long as we capture these four bastards, the people under them will not be a problem. I was too soft-hearted back then and didn't use thunderous means to destroy the four families one by one, which led to today's events. Now, they think that their wings have hardened and they dare to not take me seriously. They are getting bolder and bolder. They can even think of slaying a dragon. If they want to kill me, let's see if they have the ability."
One of the confidants said doubtfully, "Great Emperor, we have five to six hundred brothers, and the defense of the island is strong enough. Even if they join forces to attack, they may not be able to win. Are they crazy? Could there be some hidden agenda? "
"Hidden agenda? What hidden agenda can there be? They are already so obvious. How can there be hidden agenda? Do we have to wait for them to join forces to launch a sneak attack on us before it can be considered a real rebellion? If that really happens, everything will be too late. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our heads. "
Another confidant said.
"Great Emperor, we can't hesitate anymore. Every moment we delay is giving them more time to prepare. If we really wait until they are ready, we will be in a passive position. Although we are not weak, we don't have enough food here. Moreover, we are in the center of the sea. If they are determined to block us, the food on our island will not last for long. If we send a large number of people out to get food, the defense of the island will inevitably be lax. If we only send a small number of brothers out, once we are surrounded, there will be no return! We may be in a passive position. Therefore, we must defeat them before they are ready in one fell swoop. This way, we can avoid being in a passive position. "
Hearing this, the Black Dragon agreed with the opinion of his subordinates. He felt that they must take action immediately. They must immediately launch a thunderous attack while the other party was not ready. They must capture or kill the four leaders of the rebellion. Then, they would take the opportunity to merge all the pirate brothers under their command. In this way, the Black Dragon's strength would double, and the crisis he was facing would also be resolved. It could be said that it was a good thing to kill many birds with one stone.
"Okay, let's take action tonight. Before dawn, we will raid Black Wolf Island and catch them off guard. Oh right, how many brothers do you think it is appropriate to send?"
The Black Dragon made up his mind to raid. However, he had not decided how many brothers to send over to fight. After all, he still had Black Dragon Island to defend. If he sent too many brothers, it would be troublesome if the Black Dragon Island was raided. However, if he did not send enough brothers, he was worried that there would be too many casualties. Or if he could not end the battle in a short time and let the Black Tiger and the other three find a chance to escape. Once the four leaders escaped, there would be endless trouble in the future.
"Great Emperor, we have already investigated clearly. There are only a hundred people on Black Wolf Island, and the defense is not considered tight. As long as we prepare now and set off, we should be able to raid Black Wolf Island in the latter half of the night. That time is when their defense is at its weakest. If we launch a sudden attack, we will definitely be able to annihilate them all."
A confidant said.
