Unfortunately, the cruelty of war is far beyond their imagination. Since Ren Dahua is ready to assist his brothers in the Blades of Grass Legion at any time, how could he waste his energy on managing these guys?
The Blades of Grass Army captured Gudao, and Li Xing immediately asked Chen Baoguo to report it to Shu Xingbei.
"Okay, I understand. I'm doing a good job, and I'm looking forward to more good news from you," Shu Xingbei replied. He hasn't had a good rest in the past two days, because their battleship is still in the open sea, and God knows the two people on the ghost ship. Will someone stand in front of them like an old octopus?
Fortunately, as they got closer and closer to Grassleaf Island, Shu Xingbei gradually relaxed a little.
On the next day, he was going to communicate with Hummingbird and take Ye Zheng and others to leave on Hummingbird, while the battleship was taken back by his soldiers.
In the White Tiger Hall, it was raining heavily in the territory. In the leader's building, Yeyou Mingzheng was sitting in the conference room in a daze. Below him were the commander of the First Regiment, Shen Gang, the commander of the Second Regiment, and Liu, the commander of the Fourth Regiment. Fa, the leader of the third battle group Qisong. Because Qisong was inferior to Liu Fa in strength, he had to settle for last.
"Chief, after we saw the signal bombs being set off on Gudao Island, we immediately called all the soldiers to be on alert. The visitors may just be homeless people from the sea," Qisong spoke first in order to get rid of the current embarrassing situation.
After the signal flares on Gudao were set off, Ye Youming ordered all of them to summon the soldiers and the regiment leader to come to the conference room for a meeting. The military affairs within the regiment were handled by the deputy regiment commander.
But after arriving in the conference room, Ye Youming always looked thoughtful, which lasted for more than ten minutes, which really surprised them.
The members of the Weeping Blood Assassination Team sneered in their hearts. Although Ye Youming promoted them, they did not regard Ye Youming as very important. After all, the opponent's strength was only slightly stronger than them.
Qisong was the first to speak. He was also an original member of the Weeping Blood Team, a test of Ye Youming. They wanted to see if this disciple of the Underworld Emperor could play a mainstay role in the face of crisis.
"Everyone, please be patient. We will make a final conclusion after we receive news from the company. It is too early to say that the people attacking Gudao are just refugees from the outer sea," Ye Youming finally spoke.
It was at this time that he finally received Yun Zaiqiu's message.
After just one glance, Ye Youming's face turned dark.
"It was too dark and rainy so I couldn't see the specific situation clearly. There were some vague outlines of ships."
What the hell, is this the benefit Baihutang got after joining the company? If Bai Xingchen could get up from the grave at this time, Ye Youming would slap him dozens of times and ask him why he joined the company in such a hurry.
"Chief, what did the company say?" This time it was Liu Fa who asked.
"The fort is ready to be activated. This task will be handed over to your four battle groups," Ye Youming said in a deep voice. Since you can see the outlines of some ships, you must be fully prepared.
"No," Liu Fa hadn't spoken yet, and Shen Gang stood up, "Chief, once the artillery is fired, life will be destroyed wherever it hits, killing a thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred. My subordinates think this is not advisable."
Beating Baihutang into a mess is not what Cheng Yongsheng wants to see. As the leader sent by the company, Shen Ci's butt naturally sits on the company's side.
"What do you think?" Ye Youming was very angry. Based on his intuition, Ye Youming thought that the people who came this time were definitely not just refugees.
He even suspected that the company had sent a warship, which was not impossible. Even if Baihutang defected to Cheng Yongsheng, it would not be better to capture Baihutang directly.
At this time, apart from the company, Ye Youming really couldn't think of anyone else who could spare the effort to launch an attack. Over there, the Canghuang family was stationed at the Special Attack Society. If the Special Attack Society received the support of the Canghuang family, If you come to attack, you can kill them openly without having to take advantage of the rainy night. The same is true for Lingfengtang.
"My subordinates believe that we must first find out the specific situation on Gudao. Then we can determine whether the other party is coming for our White Tiger Hall. All the leaders of our White Tiger Hall have made great progress in kung fu recently and are all third-level martial arts masters. , are not soft persimmons that can be manipulated by others. If they want to take advantage of our White Tiger Hall, I think their final result will be the total annihilation of the entire army." Shen Gang spoke slowly, but the confidence in his words was palpable.
"Commander Shen's words make sense. Please think again, leader," the leader of the First Regiment said with tears in his eyes.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Qisong from the Third Regiment immediately echoed, "Please think twice, leader."
The reason these two people spoke was because nine of the eighteen artillery pieces were aimed at the territory where Weeping Blood was located. Once opened fire, the Weeping Blood Group would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
At this time, not even a shadow of the enemy was seen.
Ye Youming is also a decisive person. He did not adopt everyone's opinions, but continued to look at Liu Fa, "Captain Liu, turn on all the nine artillery guns facing the south and prepare them to fire at any time. This task is handed over to me." Here you go. Once you receive my order, fire immediately."
"Yes," Liu Fa took the order and left.
"Everyone, I won't tell you the current situation of the White Tiger Hall, but everyone knows it. Commander Shen was sent by our ally company, but when he came to our White Tiger Hall, he shared we've had weal and woe, and he treated us with sincerity. I won't hide it from everyone. There has been no news coming from the other side of the island. But the setting off of two signal bombs is enough to explain everything. We must be fully prepared. Qisong, Qixue, Shen Gang," Ye Youming began to point out the generals.
"My subordinates are here," all three captains stood up.
"Seven Pines Battle Group, guard the dock area. If there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, we will do our best to destroy it without any mistakes."
"Yes," Qisong ordered and stood aside.
"Regiment Shen Gang, you lead all the troops of the Second Regiment and deploy them along the coastal shoals. No matter who the invading enemy is, you will destroy them with all your strength without making any mistakes."
"Yes," Shen Gang ordered and stood aside.
"Weeping Blood Chapter, you join the patrol soldiers and serve as a mobile team to assist other war groups at any time," Ye Youming shouted.
"Yes," Qixue nodded and took the order.
"Three of you, Baihu Hall is where we live and work. We must do our best in this battle without any delay." Ye Youming reiterated his order again, "If there is anyone who disobeys, even if it is three of us, I will not do anything." Don't be lenient."
"Yes," the expressions of the three group leaders were stern. Only at this moment did they really see Ye Youming clearly. Ye Youming was definitely not an indecisive person.
Just after Ye Youming dispatched all his troops, the Grassleaf Legion's fleet had reached the outskirts of the White Tiger Hall. The one in the leading position was none other than Ren Gaoyi's squadron.
"Report. Thousands of soldiers are guarding the direction of the pier," the speedboat responsible for the investigation came back from the message. After Ren Gaoyi read it, a trace of disdain appeared on his indifferent face.
"Gao Yi, we are approaching the dock, you can start firing. We will take advantage of the chaos to attack Baihu Hall," Huang Tianci's voice sounded through the communicator.
"Specific coordinates," Ren Gaoyi asked.
If you don't know the location of Huang Tianci's speedboat and directly bombard it with artillery, you will most likely accidentally injure your own people, which is a big mistake.
Huang Tianci then sent the coordinates.
"Okay, you will attack in half an hour," Ren Gaoyi stood up and shouted to the guards around him: "Pass my order to raise the turrets of the two gun-carrying warships."
"Raise the fort," the guard hurried to the direction of the fort and sent a message to a squadron there.
The rain was pouring, and the dark sea surface, illuminated by the lights on the battleship deck, became darker and darker. The sea was like a giant silent beast lurking there, opening its big mouth, ready to attack you at any time.
Devouring everything.
Twenty minutes later, Ren Gaoyi gave the order to fire.
"Artillery, shooting. Target, dock," Ren Gaoyi said in a cold voice.
With two booms, two cannonballs streaked across the night sky, and the bright light illuminated everything under the rain. One warship after another was slowly advancing towards the Baihu Hall.
Boom, the soldiers of the Seven Pines Chapter guarding the pier were still complaining. It was raining heavily, and with the raincoats on their bodies, they felt unstoppably hot. And there was no sign of any enemies at the pier.
How not to annoy the soldiers who emerge from their beds.
However, two artillery attacks came, and under the high temperature, the area across which the artillery shells crossed was a vast expanse of white. The pier exploded, thousands of soldiers were blown up, and for a while there was a rainstorm in the sky mixed with stumps.
and pieces of meat. The soldiers who were not within the range of the artillery fire were also shocked by the two cannons. Their eyes were blackened and their ears were buzzing. They had no idea when the guns in their hands fell to the ground.
Sleep.
"No, the real attack is coming," Yeyou Mingteng, who was still sitting in the conference room, suddenly stood up. Not vagrants, definitely not. Do vagrants have artillery?
"Shen Gang, has the fort been raised?" Ye Youming asked.
"All nine forts have been raised, please give instructions from the leader," Shen Gang replied.
Ye Youming felt a little more at ease. Even if the opponent came fiercely, their White Tiger Hall was not a lamb to be slaughtered by others. It would not be that easy to take down the White Tiger Hall.
"Weeping Blood, hurry up and support the dock," Ye Youming issued another order to the Weeping Blood Fighting Group.
"Yes," Qixue ordered.
On the pier, Qisong stood beside him, completely stunned.
Of the thousand soldiers, less than 400 are still standing there.
What made him even more dizzy was that a team of about fifty people came out of nowhere, broke into his battle group, and killed everyone they saw.
In that team, some were holding steel knives, some were holding spears, and some were wielding double knives. They broke into the soldiers, just like chopping melons and vegetables. No soldier could go a round under their hands.
After the first two artillery bombardments, the guns in the soldiers' hands did not even open the safety.
When the enemy charged into the crowd, even if the soldiers picked up their guns, they did not dare to fire them casually to avoid accidentally injuring one of their own.
