Wang Kai led a dozen large ships, raised half of their sails, used the wind to slow down the ships, and slowly followed the swells to come to the rescue. The pirates on the cliff were shooting arrows like rain, and Wang Kai ordered his soldiers to hold up their shields and approach forcefully.
The damaged ship was put on the gangplank to rescue hundreds of trapped soldiers. Finally, after dozens of casualties, nearly 700 soldiers were successfully rescued. Then they raised the full sail and used the power of the wind to quickly leave near the dock and return to the ship on the sea.
among the team.
On the cliff, Hai Dongqing ordered to stop firing arrows with a livid face, and he was filled with anger. If the important supplies had not been destroyed, how could he have allowed the other party to save people under his eyes. All the officers and soldiers on the ten ships would have died here.
Yes. I hate that thief Lin Jue, who repeatedly harmed his relatives and ruined his own affairs, but I couldn't kill him.
The war only lasted less than an hour and came to an end. No one among the pirates was killed or injured, and the attacking officers and soldiers paid the price of ten warships and nearly 800 lives. It can be said to be a great victory. Originally, the pirates
They were still worried about the attack by the officers and soldiers. Especially after learning that all seven islands in the northwest had been captured, the panic was unstoppable. But after the battle just now, the pirates were overjoyed and confident. It turned out that the officers and soldiers
But err, they came up clumsily just to die. They will definitely not be able to capture Peach Blossom Island.
The pirates on the top of the cliff were all smiling and cheering to celebrate this great victory. Xu Xing was in a happy mood and his intelligence surged. He made up a slogan in a short time and took the lead in shouting.
"Holy Lord, God bless Peach Blossom Island."
When Xu Xing shouted, all the pirates also shouted in unison.
"Holy Lord, God bless Peach Blossom Island."
The more the pirates shouted, the more confused they became.
"The Holy Duke is the emperor's order, and the emperor of Bianliang has been abandoned by God."
"Yes, the Holy Duke will take us to Bianliang. The Holy Duke will sit in the Dragon Court, and we will all be officials. We will have whatever we want."
Hai Dongqing showed a rare smile. Although he was not very happy with this kind of flattery, for some reason, he always felt very comfortable after hearing these words. But he was not overwhelmed by the victory just now.
I'm confused. This is just a test. The opponent's dark warships are still on the sea, and the opponent's strength is less than 10%. Although this victory is hearty, it is far from beating the opponent to the point of running away.
In fact, after the battle started, Hai Dongqing even regretted that he had used the final defensive measure that he had built over the years to prevent the island from being attacked in advance. If the opponent gave up the attack and chose to evacuate because of this, that was not what he wanted.
. I should leave hope to my opponents and let them feel that they are expected to attack. In that case, they can annihilate more Ning Haijun, and in that case, they can attack Hangzhou Mansion later. I am still too anxious.
"Okay, okay, the war has just begun. The brothers performed well just now, as if they were ready to fight. Now hurry up and replenish your arrows to prepare for the attack of the officers and soldiers. Don't relax." Hai Dongqing ordered loudly.
The leaders sent orders one after another, ordering them to replenish their bows and arrows and prepare for battle. Hai Dongqing and Xu Xing stood on the edge of the cliff looking towards the sea while talking in a low voice. Suddenly, several leaders ran over quickly, and one of them
Report loudly.
"Holy Duke, military advisor, why haven't the arrows arrived yet? We don't have any more arrows to replenish."
"What's going on? Military advisor, didn't you transport supplies from Big Bird Island? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Hai Dongqing looked at Xu Xing in surprise and asked.
Xu Xing was also confused and frowned: "It's impossible. I specially ordered people to transfer supplies to Peach Blossom Island. Some of the arrows we just used were stored on Big Bird Island. Maybe they are still on the way.
If there is strong wind and rain, the speed of transporting it from the rope bridge will not be very fast. It should be here in a while."
Haidongqing said oh, but he didn't take it to heart anymore. Indeed, it took a lot of trouble to transport the materials from Big Bird Island. It was fine on a sunny day, but now it was a windy and rainy weather, so the only way to transport it was through the cableway.
Use a rope to pull it back and forth, so the speed will naturally not be very fast.
No one paid attention. The bandits were chatting and laughing while carrying empty quivers on their backs. They were shooting very happily just now. They were shooting arrows desperately. Many people's full quivers were empty. But they didn't care, because
Arrows are the most indispensable thing on the island. There are probably millions of stocks in the cave under Otori Island, and they will never be used up.
Hai Dongqing and Xu Xing were still standing on the cliff discussing the matter of fending off the enemy, and they seemed to have quickly forgotten about it. Until several bandit soldiers came flying from the forest road in the distance and got angry.
Panting, they walked straight to where Xu Xing and Hai Dongqing were. The two stopped talking and looked at the people rushing towards them in surprise.
Xu Xing recognized the people who came. They were several bandit leaders who he personally told them about their special transfer locations.
"Wan Changsheng, Gou Zhongwu, what are you doing here? Where are the supplies? Here we are waiting for arrows to replenish the enemy. Also, the brothers will have dinner later. Has the food, salted fish, etc. been transferred across the island?" Xu Xing frowned.
asked.
The visitor knelt down on the ground, and the bandit leader named Wan Changsheng, who was leading the bandit, shouted with a mournful face: "Holy Duke, military advisor, something bad has happened. The cableway for transporting supplies has been cut off, and the supplies cannot come through.
Already."
"What? What did you say?" Hai Dongqing's face changed drastically and he asked loudly.
"Holy Duke, someone came out of nowhere. While we were busy transferring supplies, he suddenly rushed in, cut off three ropeways with a knife, and injured seven or eight of our brothers. I led people to catch him.
But he got into the forest. I thought that I must report this matter to the military advisor as soon as possible, so I rushed over immediately." Wan Changsheng said hurriedly.
"Fuck you!" Hai Dongqing kicked Wan Changsheng over, reached out and grabbed the mace from the guard beside him, swung it and hit him on the head. There was a muffled sound, and Wan Changsheng's head was crushed.
Normally, the spike of the mace penetrated into the brain, bringing up a piece of red and white brain matter. Wan Changsheng's body fell to the ground with a pop.
This should be the first pirate killed on the island since the war with the officers and soldiers, but he died at the hands of Hai Dongqing. Poor Wan Changsheng, his parents named him Changsheng, probably hoping that he would live a long life
It means a hundred years old. Unfortunately, maybe the name is too overbearing and goes against the will of nature. He is only thirty-one years old, so he can only be regarded as a short-lived ghost, and has nothing to do with longevity.
Hai Dongqing smashed Wan Changsheng to death with a stick, which shocked the pirates around him and screamed. Hai Dongqing was still angry and raised the mace to attack Gou Zhongwu, who was so frightened that he was peeing. Xu Xing hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back.
"Holy Duke, calm down. Holy Duke, calm down. The matter is not clear yet. Besides, I am also responsible for this matter. If you want to kill him, you must kill me first."
Hai Dongqing shouted angrily: "You really deserve to die. How can you be careless about such a big thing? Do you know how serious the matter is? There is no food, no bows and arrows, and no supplies. We can't defend ourselves. When officers and soldiers attack, how can we defend? You
I’m so disappointed.”
"Yes, yes, Lord Sheng, please calm down." Xu Xing, with a look of defeat on his face, bowed and apologized. He turned around and asked Gou Zhongwu: "What's going on? Why don't you tell me in detail?"
Gou Zhongwu was so frightened that he peeed. He collapsed on the ground and couldn't help shaking. He stared at the corpse next to him with white brains on his head and couldn't speak. Xu Xing slapped him hard.
Gou Zhongwu woke up after the slap.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Yes, yes, we were busy transferring supplies. Three people came up from the bottom of the pier. We didn't pay attention. We thought they were the brothers who were on duty at the east pier. Two of them went into the woods, and the other one came to see the excitement. Naturally, we also
Without paying attention, the man suddenly pulled out a knife and slashed three brothers who were holding the rope by the ropeway. Before we could react, he cut the rope of the ropeway. Then he started running away. Brother Wan...Brother Wan
We took people to fetch him, but he fled into the woods. We couldn't find him since then. We suspected that it was a spy in the East Pier camp, so we went down to the dock to take a look. Five of the six brothers were dead, and one brother was still alive.
He fainted. We woke him up and brought him to see the military advisor. He knew the identities of those people." Gou Zhongwu stammered, but finally made the matter clear.
Hai Dongqing's eyes turned to a pirate kneeling on the ground with blood on his head, and asked: "Do you know who they are?"
That pirate was the pirate from the East Pier whose life was spared by Lin Jue and others. He is still dizzy now, but he has figured out the whole story. Now he will meet Lin Jue and three others.
He also told how he was deceived and how the six people fell into their poisonous hands. Of course, he would not tell Hai Dongqing that he took the initiative to hit the wall and fainted in order to survive. He only said that it was them who did it, maybe because he thought he was dead.
Only then did he let him go.
After hearing this, Hai Dongqing and Xu Xing's faces changed color. After Xu Xing asked the three people's faces, height and appearance in detail, the identities of these three people were revealed. Two of them were Lin Jue and Gao Muqing.
.
"Holy Duke, it's them, it's definitely them. They didn't die in the underground warehouse, they escaped." Xu Xing said to Hai Dongqing blankly.
Hai Dongqing gritted his teeth and shook his head and said: "Yes, it's them again. They just won't die, they just want to harm me. This thief was sent by God to ruin my big things. This thief... this dog...
thief……"
In anger, Hai Dongqing was speechless.
Xu Xing cautiously comforted him: "Shenggong, please calm down and take care of yourself."
"Calm down?" Hai Dongqing shouted loudly with his eyes on fire: "Can I calm down? What should I do now? Well? Tell me what to do? Who can tell me?"
Xu Xing frowned and said nothing.
Hai Dongqing turned around and stared at the wild waves on the sea in silence for a long time. Then he suddenly beat his chest and let out an ear-splitting roar: "Lin Jue, Lin Jue, you thief, I swear to pieces with you."
Duan will crush you to ashes. Just wait, you won’t be able to escape, you will definitely not be able to escape.”
