Countless arrows streaked across the sea with a whistling sound, aiming at the pirate troops who were joining the battle group for reinforcements from behind. Arrows fell like rain, and the pirates were already densely populated, so they suffered heavy casualties after being shot by the rain of arrows.
Many people were hit by arrows and rolled down the stone steps, knocking down the bandit soldiers who were not hit by arrows and rolling down the steep stone steps, screaming and cursing incessantly.
When the reinforcements from the rear saw this, they shouted and turned and ran to the top of the cliff, which was a safe place out of reach of bows and arrows.
However, Xu Xing personally led his men to guard the top of the cliff, preventing the bandits from escaping to the top of the cliff. Hundreds of bandit soldiers were waiting with swords in their hands. Anyone who dared to turn around would be struck with a knife, which forcibly prevented the pirates from escaping.
"Rush down and rush in front of the officers and soldiers. Their bows and arrows will not shoot at the fighting place. Do you understand? If you want to survive, there is only one way, which is to rush forward. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy."
Xu Xing highlighted the key point with just one sentence. As the number two figure among the pirates and respected as a strategist by Hai Dongqing, he was naturally not an ordinary person. He had already seen the opponent's movements. Their arrows were high and far away.
, and even waste a large number of arrows to hit the bottom of the cliff, naturally for fear of accidentally injuring one's own soldiers. Therefore, rushing into the battle group is the wisest approach. If reinforcements are blocked, one's own men on the beach will be quickly wiped out.
Clean, beaches and piers will also be completely lost.
The pirates had no choice but to muster up the courage to charge again. Braving the rain of arrows, they rushed towards the battlefield crazily. Although many people failed, more people successfully joined the battle group. As expected, arrows passed over their heads, and
None of them fell here. As a result, the pressure on the officers and soldiers rushing to the beach doubled. The pirates rushed over crazily, with twice their number, and the casualties suddenly increased.
While Wang Kai was killing the enemy, he ordered his men to raise a flag and request rapid reinforcements from the rear. Song Yanping immediately issued an order to stop shooting arrows, and at the same time, three thousand soldiers jumped into the sea and came to the beach for reinforcements.
…
When the fighting at the dock beach was raging, Hai Dongqing led a thousand guards and quickly rushed through the forest paths to the east cliff. Less than half an hour later, more than a thousand people rushed to the cliff, panting.
Hundreds of pirates are still busy repairing the ropeway. Dozens of soldiers on the rope bridge are lying on the ground squirming, slowly crawling to the opposite side with the rope. For nearly two hours, they have not been able to complete the construction of the ropeway.
Hai Dongqing was greatly disappointed. According to this situation, the installation may not be completed in another hour. After that, it will take a lot of time to transport arrows. And can the battlefield in the northwest survive such a long time?
"Where are the big ships? Where are our big ships?" Hai Dongqing shouted loudly.
"They are all docked in the windy port on the north side of Big Bird Island across the way. Didn't the Holy Duke say that no one can use the big ships without your order? Besides, those ships can't withstand the wind and waves." Monkey King Kong Meng Xiang
shouted.
"Damn it, what time is it? Why don't you use a big boat? Send the flag to Kan Ping and ask him to send out the big boat immediately. Transport one end of the rope through the big boat." Hai Dongqing cursed.
The flag quickly conveyed the order to the bandit soldiers on the top of Big Bird Island. After anxious waiting, three large ships finally slowly appeared in sight in the harbor on the north side of Big Bird Island. These three ships were Peach Blossoms.
There are only three large ships on the island. These are used by Hai Dongqing as a flagship to command operations in the future, so no one dares to use them. They have been parked in the natural leeward port to the north of Big Bird Island. Although Big Bird Island is a Daniao Island,
Maru Kojima, but the tall stone pillars protect it from wind and rain. The small harbor in the north is calm regardless of strong winds and waves, and can only accommodate these three large ships.
The pirates really didn't know how to adapt, and Hai Dongqing himself had forgotten about this problem. In fact, by using the big ship earlier, one end of the rope could be transported through the big ship, and then straightened and erected, which would save a lot of time. It's a pity.
, they never thought of this from top to bottom.
Even a large ship was cautious when passing through the rough seas in the narrow narrow space between the two channels. A large ship was improperly operated and was directly knocked over by the waves, causing Hai Dongqing to jump to his feet and curse.
It took the other two boats half an hour to finally dock successfully. The bandits picked up the ropes from the boats, and hundreds of people pulled them up to the top of the cliff, and then began to fix the ropeway. Hai Dongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the ropeway
It's fate, but I don't know how the fighting at the dock is going. After all, it's been more than an hour since the fighting started, and it's still too late for all this.
…
On the northwest pier of Taohua Island, more than an hour of fierce fighting has made the situation clear. After officers and soldiers continuously boarded the beach pier for reinforcements, the pirates were in a desperate situation. Nearly 7,000 people were mobilized.
The pirates' behavior of throwing themselves down on the beach and stalking the officers and soldiers cost them a huge price. Only less than 3,500 of the 7,000 people were left. The beach was littered with corpses and wounded, and it was overcrowded. On the other hand, the officers and soldiers who attacked the island, although
There were more than a thousand casualties, but the beach and pier had been fully occupied, and the pirates were compressed into a small area under the stone steps leading to the top of the cliff.
If the terrain here was not narrow and the fighting range was not enough, and only some troops and horses could fight the pirates, they would have killed more than 3,000 pirates on the beach. But even so, these 3,000 pirates would have been killed long ago.
Many people can't hold on much longer.
Xu Xing was anxiously following the war. He didn't have many men left. There were less than two thousand men left as a new force on the top of the cliff. These two thousand men were archers, waiting for Hai Dongqing's arrows.
The troops have arrived and are ready to turn the tide of the battle. The two thousand people must not rush down to fight. In fact, he has no troops to reinforce the people below. According to this posture, all the more than 3,000 people below will die soon, and a big disaster is coming.
"Hurry and report to the island owner. This place can no longer withstand it. Please ask the island owner to send arrows immediately, which may be able to turn the tide of the war." Xu Xing anxiously ordered to the guards beside him. In his anxiety, he even forgot his honorific title.
Hai Dongqing became the Holy Duke.
Several pirates immediately rushed to the east of the island for help. When they rushed to the top of the cliff on the east of the island out of breath, they were shocked by the situation in front of them. The rope bridge spanning the two islands had broken, like a dead rope.
The snake was hanging on the cliff, one end undulating in the waves of the sea. The two large boats were full of people and were slowly sailing towards the Big Bird Island on the opposite side.
Several pirates who asked for help immediately rushed to the pier under the cliff. They saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and hundreds of pirates jumping towards the big ship on the sea and yelling, swearing and swearing. They were swearing.
It was actually the island owner Hai Dongqing who was revered as a god.
"Brothers, brothers, what's going on? Why did the bridge break? Where is the island owner?"
"Damn you, you are such a heartless old dog. In times of crisis, you took your people and ran away. You left us alone. We wanted to board the ship, but they said the ship couldn't fit in, and they killed dozens of brothers who wanted to board the ship.
This old dog ran for his own life. Hearing that the dock could no longer be defended, he ran away immediately. I blame him for eight generations."
"..."
Several guards were stunned and speechless. They never expected that the respected island owner, the almighty Holy Duke, would actually do such a thing. He ran to the opposite island, taking his personal guards with him. He cut off
The rope bridge was crossed, cutting off any possibility of landing on Big Bird Island. There were three thousand people on Big Bird Island, plus the people he brought there, which was enough to resist the attack. In order to survive, the island owner abandoned everyone on Peach Blossom Island.
The leader's brother. The poor military advisor is still struggling to support him, and is still waiting for him to bring supplies for reinforcements. He is really an unloyal person.
When the news was delivered to the battlefield again, Xu Xing was speechless for a long time. Looking at the officers and soldiers below who had already reached the middle of the stone steps, Xu Xing let out a long sigh.
When the disaster came, they both flew away. In vain for being so loyal to him, he actually deceived himself and ran away with oil on his feet. After decades of brotherly love, Hai Dongqing's escape left nothing. This man's true face was finally revealed.
It turned out that he was a heartless and unjust villain. I wasted more than twenty years of time assisting him, and finally ended up like this.
Xu Xing naturally refused to stay here anymore. The people on this island might be able to survive as long as they surrendered, but he could not. Not to mention that the murder he committed before he died was already a capital crime. Over the years, he was the only one on Peach Blossom Island.
The number two person next to Hai Dongqing, this status alone is enough to get him punished ten times. He cannot wait to die here.
The news has not yet been known to everyone, so everyone is unaware. Xu Xing told everyone that the island owner has come with arrows and reinforcements from the three thousand brothers on Big Bird Island, and will soon turn the tide of the war. In this situation
Under the spell, two thousand archers also swarmed into the gap. However, Xu Xing took advantage of the situation and quietly disappeared into the trees beside him.
Xu Xing's disappearance was quickly noticed, and soon someone started shouting: "Brothers, the island owner has escaped, and the military advisor has also escaped. Why should we fight for our lives? Run for your lives quickly."
As soon as this statement came out, there was chaos. Several leaders quickly proved the correctness of the news. Amidst the yelling, everyone began to run away. After drinking tea, Wang Kai was the first to climb to the top of the cliff and truly set foot on the cliff.
The land of Peach Blossom Island. After that, seven thousand officers and soldiers quickly climbed up the cliff and landed on the island. Under the command of Song Yanping and Guo Kun, they either occupied the barracks or chased and killed the fleeing pirates.
The pirate bandits are gone and the war is a foregone conclusion.
