Time passed bit by bit, and every moment was a great torment. Just when Lin Jue could hardly hold his breath, suddenly a shining reflection in the distance on the sea stung Lin Jue's eyes. That
It was a white sail shining brightly in the sun, and there was finally movement on the sea.
Everyone's hearts began to beat wildly, and everyone began to swallow and spit. Lin Jue and Gao Muqing's men were relatively good, after all, they were not under Hai Dongqing's command. As for Jiang Jingui and his two hundred men,
This kind of tension almost makes them suffocate. They have been under the pressure of the island owner for a long time, and now they want to ambush this god-like figure. The timid one almost feels incontinent, and the bold one is full of powerlessness.
.
The air seemed to freeze.
The few ships on the sea are the ships of Hai Dongqing, Xu Xing and a group of escorts. There are seven ships with less than 200 people. For Hai Dongqing, patrolling the islands is what he must do. This time every year
At that time, he would go to the small islands guarding Peach Blossom Island to inspect the seawalls and the island's precautionary measures for the approaching hurricane. But in fact, his purpose was not just for these wind and wave prevention preparations.
, he wanted to see people, not dams and reserves.
More than twenty years ago, Hai Dongqing's method of seizing the position of the island owner of Peach Blossom Island was to sneak onto Peach Blossom Island from the small island where he was stationed, and killed the original island owner Zheng Zicheng in one fell swoop, thus ascending to the throne of the island owner.
Because of this, Hai Dongqing was particularly worried that someone would use the same method to deal with him. Therefore, in addition to stationing heavy troops on several landing docks on Taohua Island and guarding them with his most trusted subordinates,
, Hai Dongqing will continue to patrol the islands, observe people's actions, and win over people's hearts. If he finds something slightly wrong, he will take immediate measures to preemptively strike.
This time, due to the arrival of Gao Muqing, the leader of the Guishan Island Dazhai, a lot of time was wasted in the negotiation to reach an agreement with her. So after the negotiation between the two parties was successful, Hai Dongqing couldn't wait to go on inspection. This kind of mentality is actually very
It’s easy to understand. If you have stolen the position of island owner, of course you have to guard against others taking away the position of island owner in their own way.
As usual, the first stop is the Coral Island in the farthest south from Peach Blossom Island. Not only because of the distance, many things are uncontrollable, but also because there are the largest number of people stationed on the Coral Island. Among the many small islands, the Coral Island has the largest area and is the southern part of Peach Blossom Island.
The only island on the island has an extremely important location, so it requires a large number of manpower to be stationed. The number of bandits on the coral island exceeds 3,000, and the leader of the garrison is Qin Shouyi, the leader of the third village on Taohua Island. Although this person is the boss of Haidongqing
Brother, but Hai Dongqing is actually worried about everyone, even the closest people around him.
Originally, Hai Dongqing's itinerary was that Pan Heng would not return to Peach Blossom Island until noon, but in the middle of the night last night, two messengers risked their lives and sailed to the coral island at night, and reported the news that shocked him.
Dong Qing immediately decided to rush back to Peach Blossom Island early this morning to deal with Gao Muqing and Lin Jue. He was very angry and annoyed. It turned out that these two people were here to respond internally, and actually officers and soldiers of Ning Haijun had already dispatched to launch a surprise attack on him.
Hai Dongqing agrees with the situation that the person who wrote the secret letter guessed based on various details. Not only can he get a lot of real information about the location of the person who wrote the secret letter, but also after the secret letter arrives, Hai Dongqing and
Based on Gao Muqing and Lin Jue's behavior on the island during this period, Xu Xing and the two made a connection, which was highly consistent with what was said in the letter. It turned out that Gao Muqing had to fight for Lin Jue's life for more than ten days, which made people suspicious, and the negotiation
It was even more strange that Gao Muqing stayed behind after the completion. Thinking about it now, it was naturally because they wanted to cause trouble on the island and had to wait for the officers and soldiers to attack as internal response.
Although he was very angry, Hai Dongqing was actually not worried. Their identities had been exposed, but they were still kept in the dark. After he returned to the island, he would kill them all and be done with it. As for those who were heading towards
Officers and soldiers, Hai Dongqing didn't care even more. Because Ning Haijun's troops were only so small, they were actually going to die. Hai Dongqing could take advantage of their ignorance and order troops to ambush them, waiting for them to enter the encirclement.
Annihilate them at sea.
If the Ning navy can be completely annihilated in this battle, it may also give itself an opportunity to counterattack Hangzhou City. This may be a great opportunity for itself.
Of course, after returning to the island, Hai Dongqing had to punish one person, and that was his useless eldest son Jiang Jinfu. Although he sent a tin boat and a messenger to the coral island to deliver the message, so that he could get the news in time.
.But his act of coercing the messenger to hand over the secret message broke the rules of the village. Originally, Hai Dongqing was still a little guilty for beating and scolding Jiang Jinfu that night, but now he felt that this idiot must be taught a severe lesson.
This time, he must not be allowed to pass easily. At the worst, he must be thrown into a seawater prison for ten days, until his skin and flesh are bruised, so that he can have a longer memory.
After passing through the reef beach, the seven small boats sailed forward quickly, and soon Peach Blossom Island was in sight. The four small boats lined up and headed towards the pier. They were escort ships. As usual, they had to go ashore first to be on guard before heading back to the sea.
Only Dongqing's ships will dock at the dock. This is Hai Dongqing's consistent approach to ensure nothing goes wrong.
The four small boats rode the wind and waves, patrolled the open water in front of the dock for a while, and then came directly to the shore. But this time, because they were eager to land on the island, the boats Hai Dongqing and Xu Xing were escorted by two escort boats.
Then he drove towards the pier not far away. In fact, when he arrived on Peach Blossom Island, Hai Dongqing was not so careful. After all, this was his hometown. And if there was any danger, the towering reef island to the east
The brothers had already sounded the alarm.
More than a hundred guards quickly disembarked from four small boats and formed a formation on the pier. After a symbolic patrol around the pier, two small teams of guards sent out a signal that everything was business as usual. At this time, Haidong
The boat Qing and Xu Xing were on also slowly approached the wooden railing of the pier.
Xu Xing sat in front of the cabin and frowned: "Why didn't Chu Changgui send someone to greet him? Could this guy be drinking wine and falling asleep again?"
Hai Dongqing stood on the bow of the boat and laughed and said: "He must have thought that we came back in the evening, so he was probably lazy. We will go to his camp later. If he is drunk, I will pee on him."
, tell him to wake up."
Xu Xing frowned and said: "It must be dealt with according to the island's rules. If the island owner sets the rules, you must be punished."
Hai Dongqing laughed and said, "Military advisor, you are just too serious. How could you have offended so many people? Everyone would be unhappy with you."
Xu Xing said: It doesn't matter if they are unhappy with me, as long as they are respectful to the island owner, I hope to be this evil person. If the island owner wants to make a difference, he must strictly restrain these brothers, nothing will happen if they are scattered."
Hai Dongqing put away his smile, nodded heavily and said: "What the military advisor said is true. I take back what I said before. When I meet Chu Changgui later, I will punish him severely."
The ship approached the shore of the pier, and the gangplank was set up on the stone steps of the pier. Hai Dongqing walked up the steps. At this moment, he heard a whooshing sound, and Hai Dongqing lowered his head subconsciously, but when he heard the sound
There was a dull sound from the water surface nearby, and the arrow stuck straight into the water, and floated up after a moment.
"What's going on?" Hai Dongqing shouted.
"Someone is shooting arrows on the arrow tower! How brave!" Meng Xiang, the eldest of the eight Vajra guards guarding him, shouted.
Hai Dongqing's face turned pale, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
In the woods, Lin Jue was also stunned by the scene before him. According to the original plan, they would not launch the attack until Hai Dongqing and others came ashore, because if they did not come ashore, they would immediately turn the ship around after the attack.
Escape to the sea, and they will be out of reach by then. They can only launch a sudden attack after they land on the shore. Under the rain of arrows, at least half of the two hundred people will be lost. If Hai Dongqing does not die after this, he will definitely attack
Hiding in the mangroves on both sides, Lin Jue and Gao Muqing ambush here to give them a fatal blow. However, this sudden arrow completely broke the plan.
On a high arrow tower on the high cliff on the left, Jiang Jinfu, with red eyes, was cursing a soldier. Because of the nervousness, the soldier's hands were weak, and he shot the arrow he was aiming at.
, thus ruining the entire plan.
On the dock, Hai Dongqing shouted: "Get on the boat, get on the boat, and leave this place immediately."
More than a dozen guards immediately rushed to Hai Dongqing's side, drawing out their weapons and waving them. Someone raised a wooden shield to cover Hai Dongqing's return to the boat.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Jinfu had no choice but to shout out an order: "Fire the arrow, fire the arrow!"
Swish, buzz, and arrows rained down, covering the crowd running wildly on the pier. More than a hundred archers fired several rounds, causing heavy casualties to Shanghai Dongqing's guards at the pier. Facing the condescending arrows,
They don't really have much means of defense, and they have no other choice but to run and avoid.
However, several rounds of arrows failed to stop Hai Dongqing and others from turning around and boarding the ship. After killing and injuring more than a dozen guards, Hai Dongqing pulled Xu Xing into the cabin and shouted loudly to start the boat.
The hand oars began to paddle, and the boat slowly left the dock and headed towards the sea. The arrow rain from the arrow tower changed its direction and shot intensively at the boat Hai Dongqing was riding. There was a burst of water bubbles around the boat, like
It was like countless raindrops falling. The canopy of the boat also made noises, and the arrows were tremblingly nailed to the boat, turning the boat into a hedgehog.
Most of the dozen oarsmen were shot dead, and seven or eight of the guards on the boat were also shot dead. But even so, the boat slowly sailed away from the dock and gradually got out of the range of the arrow. At the same time, on the boat,
The horn sounded. It was the guards who blew the alarm horn.
On the pier, a group of surviving guards took shelter in the mangroves on both sides of the shore. Lin Jue and Gao Muqing had no choice but to fight. The sudden appearance of more than a hundred Guishan Island men shocked the surviving pirates.
, Gao Muqing led his men to kill, and a hundred pirates who were ambushing above the pier rushed down, immediately killing the remaining guards including Er Jingang Song Mian. However, after the battle on the pier ended,
Hai Dongqing's boat has arrived on the sea hundreds of steps away from the dock, and is desperately trying to stay away from the coast and sail eastward.
