When they learned about the situation on the island from Liang Qikou and the shocking things Lin Jue had done during his time on the island, Yan Zhengsu, Guo Kun, Song Yanping, Wang Kai and others were astonished beyond description. Who could escape his identity when his identity was revealed?
Under such circumstances, can he still fight back? Did he plan this series of major attacks on the pirates of Peach Blossom Island?
The four people here are all human beings. Although they cannot be said to be dragons among men, their abilities and status are far beyond ordinary people. In fact, they all think highly of themselves in private. However, at this moment, they ask themselves,
In this desperate situation, could he still do all that Lin Jue did? Or even even one of them.
Even after his identity was revealed, he could still instigate civil strife among Hai Dongqing's sons. Although it was a failure, the fault of the whole thing was not with Lin Jue, but with a small mistake in details. If that thing was successful, Hai Dongqing would
He was probably killed directly. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, it was already a miracle that he dared to instigate and persuade Jiang Jinfu to rebel. Not to mention living on a desert island after failure, most people would probably hide on the desert island and tremble.
This Lin Jue actually dared to return to Peach Blossom Island, and as if he were in an uninhabited land, under Hai Dongqing's eyes, he destroyed important materials such as kerosene bed crossbows and other items on the island that were a great threat to the Ning Navy.
Imagine that if Hai Dongqing had those materials in his hands, he would not have to use rockfall to block the first round of attacks. Instead, he would induce the officers and soldiers to approach the shore and then launch a fierce attack. In that case, Ning Haijun would lose all
It's not just about ten warships, but more than 800 soldiers. It is very likely that dozens of large ships will be lost, thousands of soldiers will lose their lives, and their vitality will be severely damaged, and they will no longer be able to fight. If that is the case, even if you retreat immediately,
This war against bandits ended in failure. All the previous achievements on the outer islands will be lost. By then, there will be a verbal and written battle between the government and the public. This military operation that was originally concealed by the imperial court will make everyone
Those involved were in trouble, and some even lost their jobs and heads. Thinking about the consequences makes people shudder.
Liang Qi said that in order to create more favorable conditions for the officers and soldiers to attack the island, they even cut off the only supply line from Big Bird Island, and did not hesitate to expose their identity again. It can be said that Lin Jue did what he should do on the island
He did everything, even what he shouldn't have done. Under such circumstances, Ning Haijun's navy turned around and retreated. As a last resort, the scene of desperately chasing him in a small boat happened.
After everyone in the audience heard all this, in addition to admiration for Lin Jue, they felt even more ashamed. In the final analysis, Lin Jue was just an ordinary citizen, and they themselves were all court officials, and the emperor
Dear Sir, the problem of rampant pirates should be the responsibility of people like myself, and we should try our best to solve the problem. However, in the whole matter, the one with the most positive attitude is Lin Jue. In contrast, why don't you feel
ashamed.
Several people quickly conducted an analysis, mainly analyzing whether Liang Qi's words were true and whether there was any suspicion of conspiracy. However, this worry was quickly eliminated. Both the logic and details of Liang Qi's narrative were unfounded.
There was no flaw, and the guy who just risked his life to chase the fleet would have died in the sea if he hadn't turned around to rescue him. Besides, Hai Dongqing didn't have to use counter-intuitive tactics. If there was any deception, the officers and soldiers' active attack just now
He has been given the opportunity, and there is no need for him to send people at this moment to trick his own side into turning around and attacking.
The decision was made quickly, with almost no one objecting. The four of them quickly reached an agreement, and the army began to turn around and launch an attack on Taohua Island. If, as Lin Jue sent the news, the supplies on the island were destroyed.
It was destroyed and the supply line was cut off. If we don't attack now, how long will it take?
Wang Kai took the lead and led fifteen large ships as the first batch of vanguards to attack Peach Blossom Island. Wang Kai was a careful man. Although he learned about the situation on the island, he still asked all the soldiers to hold up their big shields and attack the Peach Blossom Island.
The bow of the ship formed a barrier. He also ordered the ship to raise a small sail, using the wind to slow down the swell and control the approaching speed so as not to be too violent.
The large ship rushed into the opponent's bow and arrow range, and a dense rain of arrows came, denser than raindrops, covering the six large ships in front. Arrows were everywhere on the deck and the ship, forming a shield formation that reduced casualties. But
Still, more than a hundred soldiers were shot and killed.
This fierce rain of arrows made everyone on the attacking side a little confused. It seemed that the opponent's supplies were still sufficient. However, they did not know that this was the last tremor of the pirates. The arrow pot was mostly empty and the arrows were exhausted.
This round of dense arrow rain is actually just a flashback, and each person can only get one or two arrows. Hai Dongqing and Xu Xing want to scare their opponents in this way. However, what they don’t know is that the boss on the island
has been exposed.
The dense rain of arrows was like the final madness, but this madness ended quickly. The arrows soon became sparse. Wang Kai was overjoyed. Sure enough, what Liang Qi said was true, and the supplies on the island were exhausted.
Next, the officers and soldiers became unscrupulous. Although the road directly to the dock was blocked by ten stranded warships and a large number of boulders, without the arrows to block it, this was not an obstacle at all. Wang Kai said
Under the order, all the soldiers disembarked from the boat and waded through the chest-deep water and slowly moved towards the dock. This was originally the best opportunity to intercept and kill, but the pirates had no arrows in their hands, so they could only watch the other party shoot towards them.
Coming towards the shore.
Many pirates picked up stones and threw them down in desperation. However, this move not only failed to cause effective damage to the opponent, but also exposed their own intention to have no arrows. After witnessing all this, the hundreds of officers and soldiers behind the ships also
They began to approach. The sound of the trumpet was blaring, the shouts of the officers and soldiers were masked by the sound of the wind and waves, and an unscrupulous operation to land on the island and seize the beach officially began.
Hai Dongqing and Se Tieqing witnessed all this, and he felt despair in his heart that he had never experienced before. He knew very well what would happen if officers and soldiers attacked the island. Although his side had the numerical advantage,
But no matter the force or equipment, it is no match for Ning Haijun. The opponent is a well-trained government soldier, and our advantage lies in sea combat. Unless we have several times the opponent's strength on land, it will be difficult to compete. But this
He could only keep it in his heart. At this moment, if he showed the slightest thought like this, his military morale would collapse.
"Holy Duke, we can't just watch. If they are allowed to board the dock, things will be in trouble." Xu Xing shouted anxiously.
"What good ideas does the military advisor have?" Hai Dongqing frowned.
"Send people down to the pier to intercept them and kill them on the beach. We have many people, so it's cost-effective to exchange two for one." Xu Xing gritted his teeth and said. Hai Dongqing frowned and nodded slowly, saying in a deep voice: "What you said is very good.
Yes. In this case, the military counselor immediately organized the brothers to rush down to the beach to intercept them. I will take people to see how the ropeway is prepared. If dozens of bundles of arrows can be transported, it will give them a devastating blow. You must take people
Hold them up and drag them down the beach."
Xu Xing was a little confused. At the beginning of the war, Hai Dongqing no longer defended the enemy head-on but went to look at the ropeway. This was putting the cart before the horse. However, if Hai Dongqing personally supervises the installation of the ropeway and the transportation of supplies, the installation of the ropeway and the transportation of supplies will be faster.
At this moment, this is indeed the key point. If there are more arrows, and the officers and soldiers are blocked on the beach under the cliff, it will be a massacre. Out of the consistent trust in Haidongqing and consideration of the overall situation,
Xu Xing nodded and agreed.
"Good brother, the luckiest thing in my life for me, Jiang Ruiyuan, is to meet you, my brother of life and death. If I can survive today's disaster, everything I, Hai Dongqing, have gained will be shared with you in the future, and there will no longer be any distinction between you and me." Haidong
Qing patted Xu Xing on the shoulder and sighed.
Xu Xing is even more uncomfortable with it. He has followed Hai Dongqing for so many years and he has never said such sensational words. He is not the person to say such things. Today's Hai Dongqing is very different from the past.
"Shenggong, please don't say such things. Ever since I followed Shenggong to conquer the world more than 20 years ago, I have decided that I will never have any second thoughts about riding for Shenggong. Don't worry, Shenggong, I will risk my life.
Xu Xing will not let officers and soldiers attack the island."
"Okay, good brother. Without further ado, let's split up. All the soldiers and horses here are under your control. I will only take a thousand people to carry supplies. You must hold on until I come back."
Hai Dongqing turned around and loudly told the leaders a few words, asking them to obey the military advisor's instructions, and then hurriedly left with a thousand guards. The leaders on the cliff were a little panicked when they saw Hai Dongqing's sudden departure, but Xu Xing immediately did what he said.
Explanation. Xu Xing has a lot of prestige on the island, and his words can almost represent Hai Dongqing's words, so he sat here and the panic in everyone's hearts quickly calmed down.
Below, more than two thousand Ning navy soldiers and horses have moved from the waist-deep water to the shoal just above the knees. Without the fetters of sea water and sand, their movements have become more flexible, and they have begun to laugh at the dock and the two sides.
The beach on the other side screamed and started jogging. Xu Xing immediately gave the order, and three thousand pirates poured down the stone steps. When the officers and soldiers came ashore, the two sides immediately rushed to one place, and a melee on the pier on the beach began.
The pirates have no equipment and poor weapons. Their only advantage is their numbers. The officers and soldiers are strong in combat, but their numbers are small, and they have been fighting rough waves on the sea a few days ago. They have been fighting continuously since last night.
Basically, they had never closed their eyes and rested, so they were actually very tired. Amidst the ebb and flow, the two sides fought, and it turned into a stalemate. The beach was full of blood and flesh and screams, and the men and horses on both sides fell like grass.
Next. Before the large force of officers and soldiers from the rear arrived, Wang Kai's two thousand troops on the beach were beaten back by the sea bandits who poured down from the top of the cliff in a steady stream, and were almost driven back into the sea.
However, when more than a hundred large ships arrived at the sea more than a hundred steps away, the situation quickly reversed. Although several officers and soldiers could not rush to the battlefield, the bows and arrows had already arrived before they arrived.
