For several days in a row, Du Wanqing would go to Wang Xiaoming every night, and then leave quietly before dawn.

There is also a tacit understanding between the two, and no one said anything about what happened.

It's just that Du Wanqing, who didn't care about her appearance, has been more concerned about her appearance since that night, and she will wear a veil when she goes in and out, and she will not show her face again.

After a few days, suddenly one night, Du Wanqing came with a veil, but took the veil off in front of Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming saw Du Wanqing's face clearly, and he was also stunned.

At this time, Du Wanqing has already removed the toxins on her face, her face has been restored to its original state, and Du Wanqing, who has recovered her face, has fair skin and delicate facial features, but she is a rare beauty.

And on her beautiful face, there is also a charming heroic presence, which makes her look even more attractive.

Wang Xiaoming didn't expect that Du Wanqing would be so beautiful after recovering her appearance, and it seemed that she was not at a loss.

Under Wang Xiaoming's gaze, Du Wanqing's face turned slightly red, and she said softly, "Why do you look at people like that?"

"Because you're so beautiful. Wang Xiaoming praised from the bottom of his heart.

Du Wanqing's face suddenly became even redder, and her heart was also sweet.

was finally able to regain her appearance, and she was naturally very happy.

That night, a night of style, there is no need to go into detail here.

......

A few days later, a sea ship quietly returned, and Wang Xiaoming personally met with the people on board.

It turned out that these people on the boat were the fleet sent by Wang Xiaoming to check the terrain of the Silver Moon Peninsula, and the Silver Moon Peninsula was the name of the territory that Du Wanqing said.

To be precise, that piece of land should be called the Silver Moon Mountains, and the Silver Moon Peninsula is one of the areas of the Silver Moon Mountains, and it happens to be connected to the mainland, it is a peninsula area, and there is a suitable outlet to the sea. It is the most suitable for Wang Xiaoming's requirements.

The number of members of this sea ship was not too large, so it did not go deep into Silvermoon Island, but only checked a few points on the edge of Music Island, determined the landing site and stationing place, and returned.

With this momentous news, the fleet is ready to go.

This time it was mainly a land battle, so half of the combat sea ships were sufficient, and the remaining half was used to protect Black Dragon Island.

Wang Xiaoming still attached great importance to this operation, so he directly dispatched more than 200 large and small sea ships, of course, the number of combat sea ships was not too much. Combat sea ships were used for escort, and the rest of the sea ships were used for transportation.

On the rest of the ships, a large number of goods and people were transported, and there were as many as five thousand people alone.

And these 5,000 people are only the vanguard troops.

After two days of sailing, the fleet approached the Silvermoon Peninsula without any problems.

The Silver Moon Peninsula is very large because its topography resembles a silver moon, hence the name Silvermoon Peninsula.

The fleet landed on the last detected coastline, which was also inhabited by foreigners, known as the Hyakuteng. The Baiteng clan is its general name, and it is divided into multiple races in the Baiteng clan, what red vines, green vines. The white vine is very complicated, and outsiders can't tell which clan they belong to, so they can only be called the Baiteng clan.

The coastal environment is excellent. Not only is it rich in forests, it is close to the ocean, and the fishing industry is also very developed, so there is a large Baiteng tribe living here.

Last time the crew was here. Because of the scarcity of people, the secret will not be known to the other party, otherwise, these discovered crew members may have been killed long ago.

And this time I didn't come here to check on anything, but to occupy it, so I didn't have to hide.

Transport ships paused off the coast, and combat ships lined up and quickly approached the coast.

Soon, the actions of the sea boats were discovered by the residents of the Baiteng tribe on the coast, and the fishing village near the coastline immediately raised the alarm.

Five miles away from the fishing village is a large village of the Baiteng tribe, according to intelligence, the number of residents in the fishing village is less than 5,000, but there are more than 100,000 Baiteng people in the village.

When the fishing village saw a large number of sea boats rushing towards the shoreline, the fishing village immediately burned with wolf smoke for alarm.

The wolf smoke rose, and the big village of the Baiteng tribe five miles away immediately knew that the fishing village had encountered a big event, and the horn sounded in the big village, and groups of soldiers gathered in the center of the big village from all directions, ready to fight.

There is no regular army in peacetime, but every man in the tribe is a qualified warrior, and in the event of a battle, all the men can take weapons and participate in the battle.

And when the situation is most dangerous, women, children, and the elderly, all of them will take on their weapons to participate in the battle.

The Baiteng clan can occupy here, firstly, because the environment here is harsh and far away from the Central Plains, and secondly, because the Baiteng clan is fierce enough, once it encounters a war, it is the whole clan going into battle, occupying a large number of people, and there is a fierce momentum, which is very difficult to deal with.

It's just that this time they're going to run into an iron plate.

The fishing villages on the coast are not stupid, and when they see those big ships, they naturally know that there is no way to fight at sea by relying on their own sea ships, so they do not start a war at all, but directly gather troops on land to prepare for battle.

It's just that they haven't encountered the attack of the battleship yet, and when they stupidly gathered their troops together, they just happened to be a live target, and the guns of the ships were aimed at these assembled troops, and the guns fired.

In the rumbling cannonballs, one by one the shells fell into the crowd, and the shells used were solid shells, so there was no explosion, but they kept jumping in the crowd, and every time they jumped, they killed some soldiers, and one shell fell, and when they were lucky, they could kill a dozen or so soldiers.

However, the solid shell is the dead heart shell, and the lethality is always not as good as the explosive shell, and when the personnel are concentrated at the beginning, it also produces some effects, but when the artillery attacks, slaughters the opponent, and scares the opponent to run around in a panic, the attack effect of the solid shell is not so great.

With these hundred vine soldiers running around. The dense formation was slackened all of a sudden, and the effect of the solid bullet was naturally not good.

Artillery fire continued for a quarter of an hour, providing fire cover for the landing force.

A quarter of an hour later, by the time the artillery fire stopped, the troops of the fishing village on the opposite side had been beaten to pieces.

At this time, under the cover of artillery attack, 1,000 marines had successfully landed on the coast and had formed a defensive battle formation.

Some members are digging trenches quickly, while others are pulling up rudimentary barbed wire.

Don't underestimate barbed wire. This is an excellent weapon against infantry shocks.

In front of the trench, two barbed wire fences were installed to face the impending attack.

According to the intelligence, five kilometers away from the fishing village is a large village of the Baiteng tribe, after receiving the news that the fishing village was attacked, Dazhai will definitely send troops to support, and on the side of the Feilong pirates, weapons and personnel are not sufficient, so it must be before the other party arrives. Establish a defensive position in your favor.

Digging trenches and installing barbed wire fences were all methods that Wang Xiaoming designed for them to defend their positions.

The position was busy, and Wang Xiaoming personally led a team of reconnaissance personnel to the front to conduct reconnaissance.

The first object of reconnaissance was the fishing village ahead.

This fishing village. In fact, the Dazhai in the rear was built by people, and the purpose of establishing the fishing village is naturally very simple, that is, to fish and provide various seafood for the residents of Dazhai.

The size of the fishing village is not small. Because he had saved the idea of occupying the fishing village before, when he attacked the fishing village, he only fired more than ten shells at the fishing village. The extent of damage to the fishing village was very low and not much damage was done.

Although the damage to the fishing village was not serious, the attack of the shells frightened the residents of the fishing village, so the fishermen in the fishing village had already run away, although there were some people left, but it was the Baiteng fishermen who were hit by the shells and had no way to escape.

Wang Xiaoming didn't check on these people, but just walked around the fishing village and followed the direction in which those people had fled.

Needless to say, these people who escaped must have fled in the direction of Dazhai in the rear, so as long as they follow those who escaped, they can find reinforcements sent by Dazhai.

Wang Xiaoming's prediction was not wrong, after advancing a certain distance, he really encountered the reinforcements sent by the Baiteng Dazhai, and the number of reinforcements they sent was really a lot, there were 20,000 soldiers.

The 100,000-strong Dazhai dispatched 20,000 troops, and almost all the elite troops in their Dazhai were dispatched, which can also be seen from this point that the other party is cautious.

Of course, they can't be cautious, because in the previous battle to attack the fishing village, Wang Xiaoming's side used many artillery to attack, once the artillery attacked, the movement could be clearly heard within a few kilometers, and the Baiteng Dazhai already knew that among the enemies who came this time, with artillery, they naturally would not despise the opponent, but regarded the opponent as the biggest enemy, and dispatched the strongest troops.

It's just a pity that under Wang Xiaoming's observation, Wang Xiaoming can immediately judge that his troops can easily defeat their opponents.

It's not that Wang Xiaoming overestimates the combat effectiveness of his own troops, but that the combat effectiveness of the other party is too weak.

These forces in front of them, where is the regular army, it is clearly a ragtag army, a rabble.

They had no armor on them, they wore cloth clothes or animal skins, and they had all kinds of weapons in their hands, such as knives, forks, spears, hammers, and all kinds of weapons.

Many of them still carried bows and arrows, and they were considered the most elite troops among them.

As for them, a rabble, facing a group of troops with muskets and cannons, and there are trenches and barbed wire, this group of people is clearly here to send them to death, to let their troops gain actual combat experience.

It's just that strategically despise the opponent, but tactically you can't despise the opponent.

Although the other side does not have any advanced weapons, but the number is very large, there are more than 20,000 soldiers, and looking at the physique of these soldiers, and the movements between walking, it can also be seen that the physical fitness of these soldiers is very strong.

After all, there are still too many people to deal with.

After observing the situation for a while, Wang Xiaoming quickly returned and prepared to go back to command the battle.

The number of the other party is very large, and you still have to find a way to bite the other party hard in order to have a chance to win.

Don't blame Wang Xiaoming for being careful, but in Wang Xiaoming's troops, the number of firearms is still too small, and in the face of too many troops, it immediately seems to be very disadvantaged.

Of Wang Xiaoming's 1,000-strong troops ashore, only 200 were soldiers with muskets.

Among the remaining troops, there were a hundred grenadiers, all of whom were the most powerful soldiers chosen, specifically for throwing grenades.

Because of process problems, grenades are now relatively large in size and weight, so soldiers with large strength are needed to train and also specialize in throwing grenades.

There are also 100 individual rocketeers left, each using one individual rocket.

An artillery crew of one hundred people, in groups of five, a total of twenty groups, was responsible for operating twenty field artillery pieces.

The remaining 500 soldiers were crossbowmen, and the weapons of these 500 soldiers were steel crossbows.

This is also a weapon that Wang Xiaoming has recently created.

Made of stainless steel, because it is made of stainless steel materials and designed by Wang Xiaoming, these steel crossbows are very powerful, although they are not as powerful as the range and power of muskets, but they are easy to make, and they do not need to use ammunition, and they can be repeatedly attacked with crossbow arrows.

This group of 500 crossbowmen is the absolute main force in the army.

Because of technical problems, but also because of production problems, the number of muskets was only two hundred, and the technology was not too good, and thirty rounds in a row would heat up, and they needed to be cooled down before they could continue to be used.

However, there is no problem with the steel crossbow in this regard, as long as there are enough feather arrows, the steel crossbow can continue to be used forever.

Moreover, these steel crossbows use the design of mechanical runners, which can be used to pull the bow and arrows, which is extremely labor-saving, and there is no problem with long-term use.

Five hundred crossbowmen, resting in the rear at this time, two hundred musketeers at the front, then bombardiers, then rocketeers, and after rocketeers resting crossbowmen.

After the crossbowmen, it was the field artillery that was located.

After a while, an enemy army of 20,000 people appeared, more than 10,000 people, a sea of people, and at a glance, it was densely packed with people, and the effect was still very shocking.

It was also the first time that Wang Xiaoming's team had encountered such a situation, and suddenly there was a riot in the ranks, and many soldiers had already wavered.

This is the defect of the recruits, who have not experienced the test of blood and fire, and will never work. (To be continued......)
