"Twenty-one large ships, five of which were borrowed from the Yangshan Islands, as you know." When the matter came to this, Lu Feiyan had no need to hide it, "There are sixty-seven small and medium-sized ships."
He Lingchuan calculated it in the blink of an eye. Each of the large cargo ships in Blade Port can carry at least three to four hundred people. Small ships and medium-sized ships can carry between fifteen and sixty-five people. Taking the middle number of forty, then they can be filled with hundreds of people each time.
Long people can transport about 10,000.
It would take four or five trips back and forth to pick up all 40,000 people from Storm Bay.
During this period, Lu Qingbang and Wan Qitong had to endure the firepower of Yaguo to send people aboard.
This is still the most ideal situation.
The reality is that before the Bailong people arrived at the seaside, the Yaguo people arrived first, burning and killing, and the remaining boats were all scared away.
Even if Lu Qingbang and the Bailong people adapt to the situation and pull the large group of people to Luting Beach, even if Lu Qingbang gets in touch with the ships at sea again, there will still be few ships that are willing to come and have the courage to stop at Luting Beach to pick up people.
And little!
Half of the ships here are rented by Bailie from the Blade Port and the Chamber of Commerce. The ship owners and sailors usually mainly sail the ships for business, and occasionally do some shady activities, but let them bear the wrath of the Yaguo regular army? Sorry, do it
No!
People are here to make money, not to sell their lives.
So after one day and one night, Lu Qingbang and Wanqitong only transported away more than 2,000 women and children!
This progress is much lower than expected.
The number of casualties caused by the stubborn defense of Luting Beach increased sharply due to the brutality of the battle.
He Lingchuan also put the eyeball spider on the back of the bird demon and personally observed the battle on the coast.
It must be said that the Bailong tribe persisted in fighting even in such a desperate situation, without collapsing or surrendering.
On the other hand, Bailie's soldiers were not as determined in fighting as others. Some even tried to escape, but were killed by Lu Qingbang himself.
Of course, Lu Feiyan also sent a flying message to his brother. The content was written in code, so only his brother and sister could understand it.
The letter was very short, just one sentence, but it was inspiring enough:
"I'll ask Master He to bring in some reinforcements. Brother, if you just hold on for one more day, we'll be there!"
After Lu Qingbang finished reading, he turned around and told Wan Qitong: "My sister's reinforcements from Blade Port will arrive in a few hours!"
The news quickly spread throughout the army, and everyone's morale was greatly boosted.
This is a way out of desperate situations!
After taking this shot of strength, my tired body regained its strength.
The two leaders also changed their strategy at the right time, shrinking to a comprehensive defense to reduce casualties and ensure that the soldiers could take turns to rest.
After two hours of hard work like this, the sea was still quiet, and only the fog became thicker and thicker. The Bailong people were eager to see what was going on, and asked Lu Qingbang: "How long will this take?"
Two or three times, Lu Qingbang told them: "It's almost, it's almost, keep at it! You can't be so punctual when sailing on the sea."
Who can predict how many accidents there will be when sailing on the sea? Bailong people have nothing to say.
In this way, it miraculously lasted for nearly ten hours.
Lu Qingbang was definitely not maliciously teasing them. If he had told the truth from the beginning and told the Bailong people that reinforcements would not arrive for ten hours, they would not be able to persist.
This is the power of will.
But after persisting for ten hours, Bailie's elite soldiers and Bailong people were also exhausted, and even Lu Qingbang himself was a little shaken.
Is He Island Master reliable? Will he come again?
But he became even more determined towards his increasingly desperate subordinates and the irritable Bailong people.
Commonly known as a dead duck with a tough mouth.
Lu Qingbang knew very well that once he showed hesitation, the coalition would collapse immediately!
While waiting for reinforcements, He Lingchuan also used the eyeball spider to observe the next opponent, his face becoming more solemn.
Wulu's army was well-trained and seemed to be able to attack Luting Beach with ease. They seemed not to be in a hurry to capture the Bailie and Bailong tribes, but instead took turns invading each other.
He Lingchuan saw that Wulu was very confident about the final victory. At this time, he no longer wanted to fight with his opponent who was in a desperate situation, and instead used water grinding to slowly exhaust the strength of the two opposing armies.
Lu Feiyan was right, this person played cautiously and wanted to win the final victory at the minimum cost.
If Wan Qifeng had been allowed to change places with him, the battle would have been fought half a day ago. Of course, the price paid would have been multiplied several times.
He Lingchuan didn't like this kind of composure, and he liked opponents who fought in ambushes as much as he himself did.
But Wulu’s style of play has a shortcoming:
The longer the battle drags on, the more surprises there will be.
He besieged Lu Qingbang and the Bailong people, confident that there would be no mistakes and he could exhaust the opponent's strength and gain the victory easily.
Then, He Lingchuan would have a chance.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Yaren military camp below suddenly fired a few arrows at the bird monster, which was very accurate.
The bird demon was so frightened that it screamed and flew away, never daring to come near again.
But in just a few short rounds, He Lingchuan had roughly seen the distribution of the enemy's troops and the distribution of their forces.
Also, the number of enemy troops is approximately between six and seven thousand.
This number was enough for a siege, but Wulu was only used to chase one of his defeated generals.
No wonder he used the wheel tactics so calmly.
He Lingchuan sighed secretly.
This is really a tough nut to crack. Don’t forget that the Yaguo army still has Yuanli to help.
Since they are strong generals and elite soldiers, the vitality of the Wulu army must not be weak!
In other words, under the premise that the numbers are equal, if we fight with the Wulu army, we will naturally be at a disadvantage.
How to solve or offset this trouble?
While he was thinking, a figure suddenly zoomed in in the Eyeball Spider's field of vision!
Its dynamic vision was already very good. At this moment, it only had time to see a pair of huge claws covered with fine scales, and then the bird demon carrying the eyeball spider let out a shrill scream!
The golden eagle is actually a very big golden eagle.
It tore the bird monster to pieces in mid-air, and its blood-stained feathers flew everywhere.
Fortunately, the eyeball spider is too small and will bounce out immediately when it is attacked. The golden eagle is focused on dealing with the bird monster and has no time to pay attention to it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Finally, the eyeball spider landed on the big tree on the coastline. It raised its furry claws to wipe its eyes, calmed itself down, and then quickly got under the leaves.
He Lingchuan was also excited this time and rubbed his eyes.
From this perspective, the golden eagle's talons seemed to be about to prick his eyelids.
"The opponent also has a bird demon, a golden eagle." These days, it seems unjustifiable if the army does not have one or two bird demons to act as sentinels in the air. "Fortunately, our fleet is far away from the coastline, so it can't be discovered yet."
Qiu Hu solemnly said: "It's not good. The eagle's eyesight is very good, and some falcons can see through obstacles. I'm afraid our ship will be discovered by it before it even reaches the shore."
He Lingchuan's eyes turned slightly: "Then find a way to knock it down first."
There are also bird monsters on patrol, so Wulu has quite a complete range of troops.
Very good, the difficulty of successful action has reached a new level.
He Lingchuan thought for a long time before turning to Wan Qifeng: "Wulu is not very good at water fighting, right?"
"Yes. Most of the territory of Yaguo is not close to the sea. Wulu is from the Guhe tribe and is a warrior from the inland like us."
He Lingchuan pondered: "The big ship he captured from Bailie is moored in Storm Bay and is undulating with the waves. Although people are sent to guard the ship, they don't know how to lower the sail. Ha, the wind will change later."
If the canvas is folded, the boat will not be stolen so easily.
It can be seen that Wulu is not from the seaside at all and does not understand this thing.
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Wulu and his men don't understand ships or sailing. This can be used to advantage."
But these Yaguo people don't need to get on the boat, so what does it matter if they understand? Lu Feiyan muttered in his heart, but he didn't express it in words.
After following the boat for three days, she felt that the owner of He Island had great ideas and could always accomplish them quietly.
He Lingchuan asked Wan Qifeng again: "What about you? After practicing naval combat for half a year, how are your water skills now?"
"It's not as good as Lao Min and Lao Huang, but it's no problem to do some pirate activities!" Wan Qifeng immediately replied, "Not only me, I also have dozens of people here who are proficient in water!"
"Okay, I have a task for you."
…
Soon after, Aunt Zhu, Dong Rui and two thousand escorts arrived and joined He Lingchuan.
He Lingchuan immediately sent Wan Qifeng and other Bailong people out, and then began to count the time.
Huang Zhao looked up at the sky and exclaimed: "The weather is really nice tonight."
The clouds were thick and fog had appeared on the sea, and the visibility was less than 50 feet.
When He Lingchuan attacked the three pirates on Centipede Island, he also took advantage of such good weather to succeed in one attack.
"I've been waiting for ten hours for the heavy fog to start." He Lingchuan is not a newbie who just arrived at the Yangshan Islands. Now he is more experienced in observing the celestial phenomena at sea than anyone else.
The key to tonight's operation is to be stealthy, and with Wu's help, he will be even more powerful.
Another bird demon flew over, bringing bad news to Lutin Beach:
"It's not good, it's not good, Wan Qitong is seriously injured!"
Everyone was shocked: "What's going on?"
"He led his troops to seize the ships in Storm Bay, but was hit by several arrows, including one in the heart. He was snatched back by his men and his life was in danger!"
Dong Rui couldn't help but said: "Wan Qitong can't see such an obvious trap?"
Lu Feiyan shook his head: "Even if he knew it was a trap, he still had to snatch it. They really need a big ship."
She is a person who leads troops in war and knows that sometimes she has to do something.
Even though he knew it was a trap, he still had to hold his nose and jump in.
Although she sent a letter to her brother, Wan Qitong could not place all her hopes on this elusive "He Island Master". If he could get two more big ships, thousands more of his clansmen would be able to escape.
Wulu's mission was a conspiracy, and he captured more than a dozen of the Lu family's large ships without burning them or sailing away. They just continued to anchor in Storm Bay. Lu Qingbang and the Bailong people climbed up and looked far away, and they could surely see these ships quietly.
Floating quietly on the water.
They did see it and were very jealous. If these ships had been used to pick up the cargo, they would have transported at least 10,000 people.
Wan Qitong organized two attacks to seize the ships, but unfortunately they failed.
