Chapter 246: Burning Island
And the most practical way is to lure out all the pirates. If you really can't do it, you can only burn the island. At the moment, the southeast wind is blowing, and the fire is spreading quickly. Several generals agreed to burn the island, and for these ruthless people, it would be a disaster if they didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
After nightfall, Guo Wenying asked four teams of sailors to sneak into the island in four different directions, planting explosives and igniting objects. Their main force of 2,000 men chose a place to the north to set up an ambush and attract a large number of Japanese men. Then the sailors began to set fire to the island on all sides, and ambushes were set on all sides, not only on land but also on the water, forming a dense net of turns, which would not allow the pirates to escape.
Just after the hour, the fire-starters were sent back to report that the fire-starting materials had been prepared and the explosives had been buried. Although a group of people were discovered by the Japanese and a fierce battle ensued, the mission was completed smoothly in the end.
Guo Wenying listened to the report of the group of people and horses, and sighed lightly, the number of people on the island is only more than 1,000 people, even if he knows that he is surrounded, it is definitely not easy to break through their 5,000 people and rush out.
In the early morning, when everything was silent, a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon carefully soaked the light purple sky, and a new day gradually moved from afar.
The 2,000 sailors climbed to Qinghe Island with the first rays of sunlight in the morning, Guo Wenying sent a team of about 200 soldiers to lure out the pirates, and the rest spread thistles and tripwires in the forest to the north.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, although it was a sleepless night, everyone was in good spirits, Guo Wenying had a steamed bun in her mouth, and hurriedly climbed a tree, and there were soldiers below who saw her clumsy appearance, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and looked at it with their lips pursed.
Guo Wenying didn't feel embarrassed at all, she was already not good, and she relied on her brains to fight, not all by force.
Sitting on a tree, chewing steamed buns, I opened the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the corner at the end of the path. There was dust in the distance, and you could faintly see the fortress of the Japanese Kou, which was made of boulders, and it was very strong.
Look at the bottom again, Guo Da is beating the tribulus terrestris with a big stick, hitting one sticky one. There were already six or seven sticks stuck to them.
Seeing that they had set up traps, Guo Wenying jumped down from the tree. She checked around and saw that the soldiers were all in ambush, so Shi Shiran retreated to the back and found a place to hide.
In the past few years of her war, the only secret of why she has not been seriously injured is to stay away from danger, never rush up in everything, and never be in front when she can be behind.
A moment later, someone rushed up the hill.
"Waka!" Some sailors saw clearly the pattern of the knife in the hand of the person who rushed to the front. Several sailors pounced on him with their swords drawn, their angry eyes shining above their shields.
Guo Da pulled the trigger.
"Boom!" the sound of the lead striking the helmet was very loud, and the "bang" of the disembowel was also muffled. At the same time as a puff of smoke erupted, Guo Da threw down the gun and ran desperately up the slope. The pirates straddled their two fallen companions and chased after them.
Only two steps away from the big tree that was set up in ambush, Guo Wenying crouched down and took out a short gun, and shouted: "Fire!" After shouting, he immediately buried his head. The two horns were so close to her that they almost used her head as a gun carriage, and the sizzle of the fire rope could be heard.
"Bang, bang!" the firecrackers fired, the smell of gunpowder filled the air, and there was another scream and wail, and all the pirates who rushed up in front of them fell.
Some people scolded faintly, speaking in unintelligible Chinese, while others asked in Chinese, "Who are these?"
No one answered him, because no one could figure out where these people came from, and all the sailors did not wear military uniforms when they came to the island, and they could not recognize them at all, let alone know who could have such great firepower and troops.
Guo Wenying looked at those people who were like headless flies, suddenly rolled her eyes, and whispered a few words to a few guards around her.
Zhang Qiang and Chen Qi immediately let go of their voices and shouted, "Catch them and exterminate these widows, Nanling Gong will be greatly rewarded." ”
"Nanling Gong is mighty-"
"Nanling Gong dominates the world. ”
The shouts came one after another, and those would-be robbers all looked at each other, and they couldn't help but secretly think, could this be the person sent by Nanling Gong? Yes, who in the entire southeast has such strength on the sea, and if not Nanling Gong, who is it?
Guo Wenying pursed her lips and smiled, didn't Jiang Taiping yin her several times? Today, she was also yin once, which made these people think that they were Nanling Gong's people. The seeds of doubt have been sown, and there are unjust debtors and no owners, and they are dead and ghosts, and they don't know who killed them. If he escapes, he will only seek revenge on Jiang Taiping.
Pi Xiaosan looked at her smiling face, and couldn't help but sigh, their head is really getting more and more shameless, is this the so-called black who is close to ink?
Guo Wenying looked at the formation of the Japanese invaders rushing up, and ordered in a loud voice: "Take turns to fight, until they remember to make a detour to outflank, and then we will retreat!"
At this moment there was a man on the side of the Japanese who was shouting and screaming, and the procession on the main road gradually retreated to the other side of the hill. The dense arrows shot from afar, and they fell with all their strength, and everywhere, some sailors picked up an arrow, and found that it was actually an uncommon wolf tooth carving. Anyone who has fought knows how expensive this kind of wolf tooth carving feather is, with ten ordinary arrows at a time, which shows that these people are really rich.
Although these Japanese are ferocious, their actions are not as well-trained as the formally trained army, and with the leading Japanese wolf shouting for a while, the dozen or so Japanese sword soldiers on the right rubbed this side little by little, and were beaten back a few steps by four consecutive guns, and stopped temporarily.
Captain Guo Dabei looked around, and there were also Japanese robbers behind them. He was the closest to the Wakos, and seeing that the situation was not good, he retreated with dozens of men, turned left over the hillside, and ran into a patch of long grass.
Many sword soldiers surrounded them, and the gunners rushed to find a densely populated place, forced to face to face, and hit them with bang-bang-bang. The Wako had to run to both sides, get out of the way, and use the Pu knife to face the fire gun head-on, and it was obvious that the fire gun had the upper hand.
On the right were a group of Japanese archers, who lined up and pressed forward, and before they could reach the distance where they could shoot their bows, they "banged" to kill a tall sailor with a long gun. Seeing that he couldn't rush up, the commanding wolf didn't want to embarrass his subordinates, so he seemed to order a retreat to safety.
At this time, Guo Wenying did not allow them to escape, seeing that they were close to the range of artillery, he hurriedly ordered a retreat, and at the same time, dozens of shells bombarded the Japanese invaders.
As an iron bullet exploded, the earth trembled with a rumbling sound, and the sky was full of dust, and for a time there were countless casualties.
It was too late for them to retreat, and the firecrackers followed, and rows of firecrackers were densely packed in front of them, and the cold light emitted by the iron pipes was chilling. js3v3
