Chapter 708: When you are preparing to win, you are also preparing to die

Chen Leng left Nanping City with 600 personal soldiers and took four days to arrive at Dongyao Island. Cha Ye said he would not stay in the manor, and she wanted to follow him, but Chen Leng could not stop him even if he tried his best.

After all, there is a difference between what you see on the map and the real environment. When Chen Leng stood by the sea and looked at Dongyao Island from afar, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. No matter how you look at that place, it can't be built in one or two days.

Chen Ran touched Chen Leng with his shoulder: "I really asked the general to send the food the day after tomorrow?"

Chen coldly glanced at him: "Be timid before fighting."

Chen Ran pointed to Dongyao Island: "How can I get off in two days? Not to mention that there is only one waterway near Dongyao Island. When the warship enters, it will be smashed into pieces by Qiuliren on Dongyao Island. Even if it goes in..."

He looked at the place where he climbed: "Look at that path, it's not called a road at all. The slope is too steep. I heard that General Du led his army to attack 8,000 and three times before. He rushed to the island twice, but the steep slope was unable to expand the formation. When a small team went up, it was completely exposed to the crossbow arrow of Qiuli Ren. At that slope, throwing a stone can make people beat him to the point of pissing."

Chen Leng asked: "What did you say the first sentence just now?"

Chen Ran recalled: "How could I fight in two days?"

"one day."

Chen Leng said: "It has been the fifth day since we left Nanping City. Today I want to look at the terrain. Tomorrow, there is only one day, no cover. There is one thing you remember. The news of military rations being delivered the day after tomorrow will not be told to the soldiers. They only know that military rations will be gone tomorrow."

Chen Ran: "Does it work?"

Chen Leng: "Maybe it works, but even if it doesn't work, the food will arrive the day after tomorrow."

Chen Ran thought about it and the same thing was true: "Okay, I promise not to tell it out."

Chen Leng nodded: "Put down a boat and I'll go and see the terrain."

A centipede clutch was placed on the Fubo warship, and Chen Leng took Chen Ran and a ten-person soldier onto the boat. Cha Ye wanted to come up, but Chen Leng said nothing. Cha Ye naturally would not argue with the soldiers, so he had to stay on the shore to watch.

The personal soldiers rowed the boat into the sea. The terrain of this place was extremely strange. I have to say that the magical craftsmanship of the creation of nature was shocking. There was only one waterway about twenty meters wide to enter the island, and the width was not constant. The waterway meandered forward. On both sides were reefs of large and small spread all the way to the bottom of Dongyao Island. The large reef could accommodate four or five people standing on it. The small reef only exposed a little from the water, but it was too secret. Not to mention the Fubo warship, even the centipede, could not pass through the reef.

When he was about to reach Dongyao Island along the waterway, Chen Leng waved his hand to signal the boat to stop. It was about one mile away from Dongyao Island. Then he was shot by the stone-throwing cart. A huge rock flew over, and the centipede and the centipede clutch could be photographed into small pieces.

He raised his eyes and looked at Dongyao Island. There was a small beach where he could land. The color of the water was not close to him. The boat should be able to row all the way to the beach. However, the area of ​​the beach was so small that it could only accommodate more than a hundred people. I asked people to cover it from a high place with feather arrows. If the landing people could not even find the cover, they would be shot into hedgehogs.

General Du, under Haisha, was able to break through this place after attacking three times in a row, not because he didn't do his best.

Chen Ran shook his head: "Even if our people take a small boat to the shore in one go, that small piece of sand will be the enemy's shooting range."

"Reduce the number of Centipede Clippers."

Chen Leng frowned and pondered: "Each centipede clutch can transport up to sixteen people. With the weight of the ship, it cannot rise again at a speed below eight people."

Chen Ran: "There weren't many Clippers that could have been approached, and they still needed to reduce the number of people?"

"At most nine people."

Chen Leng calculated in his mind and looked at the centipede Clippers under his feet: "Six people rowed, three people were among the six people, one person was separated, and the three people's duty was to raise the shield. Including the weight of one person's large shield, nine people were already the limit. If the full capacity was combined with the weight of the shield, the centipede Clippers were too deep to draw the water, even if the rock-throwing cart of the solitary person could not hit, the water waves could easily lead to capsizing."

Chen Ran: "But there are few people going up, it's useless. Suppose that ten centipede cliffs can dock, and there are only 160 people who go up full capacity. There are at least 1,400 defenders on the island. Maybe there are more. What's the point of attacking 150 people? If there are fewer personnel, there are only 90 people who go up..."

“The beach can accommodate up to a hundred people.”

Chen Leng said: "After counting the number of people, ninety people are the most suitable."

Chen Ran looked at Chen Leng incredibly: "Don't you want to bring only ninety people up?"

"Take eighty-nine, I'll count one."

Chen Leng waved his hand: "Go back."

Chen Ran asked: "What are you doing now?"

Chen sneered and said, "Call up people and fight."

"Get a fight?"

"Yes, fight."

On Dongyao Island, the leader of this army named Ruan Zaixi was originally a fourth-rank general of the army of Qiuli. Later, after the main force of Qiuli Navy was defeated, he led a army of remaining troops to retreat to Qiuli's west coast and wandered between the counties. He was exhausted and still could not resist the attack of the soldiers of the Daning army and survived in the cracks. Later, he disappeared even the cracks.

Another remaining soldiers who were seeking to establish a war were defeated, and more than 400 people escaped and ran to him. He led a team of more than 1,000 people to grab a group of fishing boats out of the sea to board Dongyao Island.

Relying on the easy and difficult attack of the terrain, he had been entrenched on Dongyao Island for nearly two years, and even the several attacks of the Daning warriors could not do anything to him. Ruan Zaixi became more and more proud. Not long ago, he had appointed himself as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and the Duke of the National Guard. He had a team of more than a thousand people under his command. He had dozens of second-rank generals, and let alone third-rank fourth-rank soldiers. Any soldier had the rank of a sixth-rank captain.

He even thought about becoming emperor himself.

Standing on the reef, Ruan Zaixi raised his eyes and looked at the opposite coast. He had noticed that the Ning army had arrived again. The people on the entire Dongyao Island were on guard. Even though they had been guarded three times, they still did not dare to take it lightly. Those who were afraid of being beaten by the Daning soldiers on land were forced to find some self-esteem on this island.

"Such a little guy?"

Ruan Zaixi put his eyes down and couldn't believe what he saw.

There are only five Fubo warships on the shore of the land. Including the centipede Clippers hanging on both sides of the Fubo warship, the size of this team is surprisingly small. Even if it is full, the configuration of the five Fubo warships will not be higher than that of the first battalion of soldiers, that is, one thousand and two hundred people.

The previous general Ning army led 8,000 people to siege his Dongyao Island many times but failed to do anything about it. What are the 1,200 people now want to do?

"Grandmaster."

His second-rank general Sun Guangming pointed to Ning Jun’s location: “What do you think they are doing?”

Ruan Zaixi raised his eyes and continued to look over, then was stunned.

Are the soldiers on the other side actually fighting?

It doesn't look like a fight, and the one-on-one competition is still very intense.

"Is it here to show off your power?"

Sun Guangming looked confused: "The people fighting on the beach should be the entire force of this team. It is judged that there are absolutely less than a thousand people, and the subordinates look like six or seven hundred people."

"Aren't you going to hit us?"

Ruan Zaixi really didn't understand what Ning Jun meant. He only came with a few hundred people and did not attack when he came. A small boat had tried to approach Dongyao Island, but stopped a little mile and a half away. He should be peeping at the terrain of Dongyao Island. Since he had already been peeping, it means he was going to fight. However, why did they fight first?

Sun Guangming: "Maybe... are they here to play?"

Ruan Zaixi: "Carrying a warship full of armed forces here to play?"

Sun Guangming said: "Although I don't understand what Ningren is going to do, you can't be careless. The Grand Governor should order everyone to be vigilant and guard, and divide their troops to the island to patrol. Although there are at least seventy or eighty feet behind, and except for this waterway, there are reefs that cannot be approached at all, we must also guard against it."

"I know."

Ruan Zai Xidao: "I ordered the commissioning of the stone throwing cart to aim at the waterway. Someone approached and immediately sank the team and divided the team into three teams to rotate on duty."

"yes."

Sun Guangming responded, then subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the other side. He was still fighting, and all the Ning army soldiers were fighting in the same place, with a rough and chaotic style.

On this side of the coast, Shen Leng sat under the tree and looked up at Chen Ran. Chen Ran cut a few coconuts from the tree and threw them down. The coconut fell on the beach and smashed a hole. Shen Leng reached out and picked up one, scraped the skin with the scabbard of the hunting knife, changed the dagger and swept it away. Chen Ran came down from the tree. Shen Leng handed the cut to Chen Ran. Chen Ran laughed: "Thank you, thank you."

Shen Leng: "Help me deliver it to your elder brother."

Chen Ran: "..."

Mr. Cha helped distribute supplies from a distance. Chen Ran happily brought a coconut to Mr. Cha. He looked back and saw that Shen Leng cut another one and placed it next to him. It was obviously given. He ran back happily, sat down next to Shen Leng and held a coconut to drink.

“It’s cool, cool.”

Chen Ran smashed her mouth: "Why do you want everyone to fight?"

"Choose the last remaining person and follow me."

Chen Ran: "Where is me?"

"I won't take you."

Shen Leng peeled a coconut and drank it himself: "You stay here for support."

Chen Ran glared at him: "Why!"

Shen Leng: "Are you glaring?"

Chen Ran immediately softened: "I am your personal soldier, how could I not go up?"

"Please help me watch Mr. Cha."

Shen Leng looked at Cha Ye and lowered his voice: "If something unexpected happens to me, Cha Ye will be crazy... Do you know why I'm in a hurry to have a child with Cha Ye? Because I know very well that if something happens to me, Cha Ye won't live alone, her world is very small, only her husband and me, and after having two children, she will not do stupid things. Even if I die, the child will be with her."

Chen Ran: "What are you talking nonsense!"

Chen Leng shrugged: "Of course I don't want to die, but I have to consider... You stay here. If the people I bring cannot attack and you stop her, she will go crazy. Don't let her go, don't go. After I die, I will be just a dead body. What's the use of robbing the dead body? You have to send her back to Chang'an."

Chen Leng got up, patted the sand on his butt, and then squeezed out a fart to Chen Ran's face.

"You have to live, and Cha Ye must live. No matter how small the war is, it is a war. I am ready to die in every battle."

Chen Leng breathed out a long sigh: "Brother, I have to rely on you."

Chen Ran took a deep breath.

"It's so fucking smelly."

Chen Leng: "It's nonsense, the coconut smell is refreshing and cool, it's really good."
