Xu Xing turned around and walked to the edge of the cliff, shouting in a deep voice: "Come here, blow the horn."
Several big pirates promised loudly, took off the horns from their waists, lined up in a row, puffed up their cheeks and started blowing towards the island opposite.
"Woooooooooooo." The horn sound became more urgent, giving people a chilling feeling of an impending battle. At the same time, the ant-like crowd on the huge stone pillar opposite suddenly disappeared, and they hid in a
Inside a dark cave entrance. A moment later, there was movement at the cave entrance again, and countless bloody things were thrown down onto the surrounding sea.
Gao Muqing frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"Master Gao Dazhao, please wait a moment, we will see the result soon." Xu Xing stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Everyone stood in stunned silence, and Gao Muqing also looked across the way silently, not knowing what would happen. Suddenly someone pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted: "Coming, coming."
Gao Muqing followed the direction of their fingers and cast her eyes on the sea. Then she was surprised to find that countless black spots were coming quickly under the sea. The black dorsal fins reflected the light in the sun, as if they were riding the wind and waves.
The sails came. But what came was definitely not a small boat, but countless sharks from the sea swimming quickly under the water.
"These are sharks. We call them sea tigers. These guys are violent and ferocious. They are the tigers in the sea. The difference is that large insects inland are rare and do not gather together, while here
The number of sea tigers is extremely large. What they just left behind are some flesh and blood objects. These guys have a keen sense of smell and can smell the smell of blood from dozens of miles away. No, they came just by smelling it. The ones who came today are here.
There are quite a lot of them, I'm afraid there are hundreds of them." Xu Xing introduced in a deep voice.
Gao Muqing had never seen this before, and he was surprised. But he didn't understand what these guys were doing to lure these sea tigers here, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
"The show is about to begin, Chief Gao Dazhao, don't blink your eyes." Hai Dongqing laughed loudly.
But hundreds of sharks were seen coming quickly, and in an instant they gathered on the sea on both sides of the island opposite. The water was churning and chaotic as they scrambled for the discarded flesh and blood. A loud horn sound came from the stone pillar opposite, and there was only one sound.
In an instant, countless javelins and arrows shot out from the dense caves on the giant pillars of the reef, like a huge porcupine suddenly shooting out dense thorns all over its body. When the arrows and javelins were shot out, the surrounding area of the island was like
Suddenly a dark cloud enveloped the place.
The next moment, countless arrows and spears fell on the sea. The sharks were fighting for prey, but in an instant they became prey. Almost every shark was hit by arrows and javelins, and blood suddenly poured out, covering the clear blue water.
The sea surface was dyed blood red. Under the sunlight, the blood red sea water was churning, countless sharks were struggling, the horns were blowing, the pirates were shouting, and Hai Dongqing's harsh laughter rang in my ears.
Gao Muqing was a little dizzy and nauseous.
The scene just now allowed her to see the defensive strength of the island opposite. With the few rounds of arrow rain and spear darts just now, no one on the sea within a radius of hundreds of steps was spared. This is enough to show that although it is an incredible island,
It is a large island, but there are at least three to four thousand islands stationed within that stone pillar, and they are all equipped with long-range attack weapons such as bows, arrows, spears, and darts. It is in this way that Hai Dongqing told himself that he wanted to capture that
The island is like a dream.
Under such terrain, in the blue sea, it is not easy to capture an ordinary island, let alone such an island that occupies an absolutely advantageous situation and is equipped with so many long-range weapons. The hard giant rock pillars are their best choice
Even if the attackers have long-range weapons, they cannot shake the pirates hiding in the caves. If they attack, they will only be beaten to death.
The sea gradually calmed down, and countless sharks had turned their bellies and floated on the sea. Most of them had been shot, and the remaining few lucky ones began to feast. Hundreds of small boats came from nowhere.
Speeding towards the place where the shark's corpse was floating, soon every boat returned with a full load, and each shark was pulled onto the boat and transported back to the island.
"Master Gao Dazhao, I'll treat you to shark's fin today. On land, only emperors, princes, and high officials can afford to eat these precious things, but we are all tired of eating them here. Send a few baskets to your people in the evening.
Eat as much as you can." Hai Dongqing laughed.
Gao Muqing slowly recovered from the shock, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at Lin Jue in the distance behind. She thought that Lin Jue must have been shocked by the scene just now, and must have been impressed by the pirates' layout and
Force is a deterrent. However, what she saw was that on the side of a rock dozens of steps away, Lin Jue was leaning there lazily, seemingly not paying attention to what had just happened. On the contrary, the young island owner Jiang Jinfuzheng
He was frothing at the mouth and pointing fingers at Lin Jue, but Lin Jue seemed to just respond to the last sentence.
In fact, Lin Jue had been chatting with the young island owner from the beginning. Hai Dongqing and others were walking in front, Jiang Jinfu and Lin Jue followed from a distance, surrounded by a group of people. Lin Jue deliberately
Slow down your pace so that you can be farther away from Hai Dongqing and others in front of you, so that you can speak more casually.
Everywhere he went, Jiang Jinfu boasted to Lin Jue quite complacently: "How is it? How is the scenery on our island? It's no worse than Hangzhou, no worse than the emperor's Bianliang City."
Lin Jue poured cold water on him mercilessly.
"Ugly."
"Dirty as hell."
"It smells so bad, I can see a piece of shit."
"What's so beautiful about this? My little yard is much more beautiful than this one."
Jiang Jinfu was so angry that he wanted to beat Lin Jue to vent his anger. This kid really didn't know how to behave. He didn't even say a nice word except to contradict himself.
Finally, after experiencing too many belittlings, when Lin Jue casually praised a scene, Jiang Jinfu was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly introduced the scenery mentioned by Lin Jue. However, Lin Jue's topic was casual.
Inquire for information.
For example, Lin Jue would point to a large group of arrow pagodas on the cliff in the distance and praise: "It should be good there. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from those pagodas. The scene is really spectacular."
Jiang Jinfu was indeed fooled and laughed at Lin Jue's slip of the tongue.
"That's not a pagoda. You really haven't seen the world. It's an arrow tower and a watchtower, okay?"
Next, the topic will unfold, and Lin Jue will ask: "Oh, it turns out to be arrow towers, but I am ignorant. But why are there so many arrow towers built on those cliffs? Why do you want to shoot fish and birds?"
Jiang Jinfu would laugh at Lin Jue's ignorance, and then explain: "You know what the hell, below is the pier for landing on the island, and the arrow tower is for defense. Not only that, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in the woods next to it.
There is an ambush. If anyone dares to attack our Peach Blossom Island and wants to come ashore, there will be no return and a dead end."
Lin Jue pretended to be stunned and praised the young island master greatly. Then there was another cycle, first belittling, and then pretending to be stupid, causing the young island master to ridicule and fight back at him, and then leaked more information.
The secret came. It was in this way that Lin Jue accumulated knowledge about Peach Blossom Island bit by bit. Of course, the active cooperation of the young island owner was indispensable.
Jiang Jinfu is not a fool, and he does not know that these confidential matters should not be told to others. But on the one hand, he is very dissatisfied with Lin Jue's attitude. This kid talks unabashedly and always wants to belittle Peach Blossom Island, which makes Jiang Jinfu very unhappy.
Happy. So when I caught Lin Jue's speech problems, I naturally wanted to ridicule him.
On the other hand, Jiang Jinfu really didn't pay much attention to confidentiality, because he felt that there was no need to keep secrets from a dying person. Lin Jue still had more than ten days to live, why should he keep secrets? Even if he told him everything about the island
All kinds of secrets in the book, if wiped out ten days later, not all of these secrets would rot with the boy's body. So he actually didn't pay much attention to the instructions of Hai Dongqing and others.
Because of this, in this dual state of mind of being careless and immature, he was tricked out by Lin Jue intentionally or unintentionally or took the initiative to tell a lot of important information about the cottage. For example, the military strength on Peach Blossom Island,
The deployment of troops and defensive strategies at several landing piers, the equipment of the pirate ships on the island, etc. Lin Jue naturally remembered all of these in his mind. Even Lin Jue had some doubts about whether this guy was lying to him, because he was really
It was said in such detail that Lin Jue couldn't believe it. Instead, he had to pretend to argue and prove it by circumstantial evidence.
When they arrived at the east of the island, after witnessing the connection to the extra-long cable bridge with the small island in front and the display of tactics by the defenders on the island, Jiang Jinfu felt very proud when he saw that Lin Jue didn't say a word. He felt proud.
I thought that Lin Jue must have been shocked and had nothing to say. However, Jiang Jinfu had been bickering with Lin Jue all the way. When he was full of energy, he was not willing to let go of this opportunity to attack Lin Jue, so
He proudly gushed to Lin Jue.
"What? You're scared to death. You've seen the layout of my Peach Blossom Island East and the fighting power of my brothers on the island. Hahaha, did you pee your pants in fear? Look at the posture just now, but someone dared to step into the island
Within a hundred steps, no one can survive. Hey, talk, why don't you speak? Tell me, which family's soldiers and horses can be so brave? Which cottage can be as impregnable as my Taohua Island cottage?
?”
Lin Jue was indeed amazed by the scene he just witnessed. Not to mention anything else, it was extremely difficult to build this cross-sea cable bridge on such a scale these days, let alone the small island opposite.
It was completely transformed into a giant arrow tower armed to the teeth. This arrow tower alone can control the field of vision for dozens of miles, and can even block all the sea on the east side of the island. Because the landing dock on the east side of the island is directly opposite the small island.
The island is under the protection of a small island. Any attempt to land on the island from the east pier of the island cannot bypass the island on the opposite side. The ingenious combination of terrain can be described as a masterpiece.
However, Lin Jue is not too worried about this. After all, there are several piers on the island that can be used to land on the island, so there is no need to choose this place. Besides, Lin Jue feels that the pirates are a bit stupid. Once this rope bridge is burned down, the island will be destroyed.
The connection with the main island is interrupted, which means that they can only stand alone on the small island and cannot form support for Peach Blossom Island. In that case, it is equivalent to investing thousands of troops on the small island in vain.
Once soldiers and horses landed on Peach Blossom Island, they could only watch helplessly.
However, the tall stone pillars are decisive for controlling the surrounding field of vision. This is not only an early warning, but also can be used to predict the opponent's attack direction in advance, so that troops can be deployed accordingly to fully grasp the battle situation. This plays a role in combat.
It is huge. In the early years, commanding operations and controlling the overall situation often relied on occupying the commanding heights to better issue orders. Even when fighting on flat ground, the army often built high platforms or towers, and military orders would pass through the flags on the high platforms.
Or lights can be used to communicate quickly, so the island opposite is indeed like a tall mast on a large ship. During the battle, it can guide the direction of the war and issue the most reasonable orders.
