Chapter 232: The Enemy Is Dark and I am Bright (2)

Closer, closer, and as the ship sailed at a rapid pace, the people on board could see the island more realistically. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, no further information could be seen through the telescope, because the eyes were full of rocky mountains and forests, and he still observed the best range of the crossbowmen, and ordered the sailors behind him: "Stop! ”

As soon as he heard the order, the sound of gold and iron sounding on the main ship sounded with the sound of gold and iron stopping the ship. The sound of gold coming from the boss's ship caused all the following ships to come to a slow halt.

Two small ships were laid down in the middle, and the commander's order was still brought to the rest of the ships, and twenty marching ships were lined up in a half-moon shape, and the ships approached the mysterious archipelago.

The crossbowmen of the Banzai Army also waited solemnly as the ships lined up in a half-moon shape, waiting for the commander to give the order before shooting at the island in front of them.

……

He used his telescope to carefully inspect the island in front of him, and there was no figure in sight between the primeval forest-like dense woods and rocks, but with his experience in many battles, he was very uneasy about this inexplicably calm atmosphere.

There seemed to be the word murder written in the air where there was no human figure, and it seemed that a pair of fierce eyes were staring at him, staring at these well-groomed crossbowmen. He still thinks that this should not be his delusion.

Sensing the caution that still exudes his body, Minsa also lifted his heart and looked into the island.

If it was the pirates here who deliberately opposed the waterway trade between the Lingling and the Yueclan, it seemed that their power was definitely strong enough to rob a shipload of goods. Then, with such a large-scale invasion of the Yunling and Yue Clans, they must have discovered it a long time ago.

But until now, the army has pressed the border less than 500 meters away, and there is no reaction on the island, which is unreasonable. Moreover, the water monster that was shocked by Pei Xing and fled just now seemed to be very perfunctory, and it fled after running over, and it was one instead of a group, as if they knew in advance that there were masters of dealing with monsters among them, and they were unwilling to lose more.

Therefore, it is really difficult to guess what kind of strength the pirates on this island have.

……

"Crossbowmen obey orders! Shoot at the rocks and in the jungle! Still shouting.

As the commander's command fell, the crossbowmen on the twenty ships had already fired the first arrow with a "tom".

Tom, tom, tom...

After more than a dozen rounds of shooting, several people still looked at the island's reaction with a telescope, but there was no reaction on the island......

What's going on?

"Isn't this an uninhabited island? Are we overthinking? General Chang said beside him.

There are water monsters guarding here, so it is possible that no one has been able to make it to the island for many years. However, smelling the dangerous smell in the air through a keen sense of smell indicates that this must not be an uninhabited island, but a big conspiracy. Still Shu shook his head, signaling to him that this was not that simple.

Putting down the telescope, the three of them looked at this seemingly uninhabited archipelago city with their naked eyes, and a chill inexplicably arose in their hearts.

"If there are pirates in ambush here, are they waiting for us to come to the island and fall into the trap?" It still seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be saying it to the people around him, so that everyone can consult together.

Minsa and Pei Xing nodded silently, their thoughts were the same as those still stated.

The topography of this island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountains and rocks and forests are visible to the naked eye, but they have no idea what the situation is inside.

Even if there are powerful pirates on the island, but the number of people on this archipelago is only 1,000 at most, and now the Banzai Army plus the Wanling Navy is ten times the strength of the pirates, even if the strength of one-on-one is enough to wipe out the pirates.

So the clever islanders stood still and waited for the generals to land on the island. The terrain here cannot be logged in on a large scale, so only small troops can land on the island. So as soon as they entered the island, it was up to the Ling, and the initiative of the war shifted to the pirates.

"Looks like these pirates still have a bit of battlefield experience... Is it trained? He then said: "If I were the owner of the island, I would also stand still and wait for the rabbit!" ”

After another sound of gold, the crossbowmen stopped firing. The order was given on the main ship to stop the attack. If you continue to attack like this, it will be a waste of arrows, and where will you have the advantage of the bright place over the dark place.

……

"Owner, they stopped shooting."

The woman who was called Aunt Jin by He'er was named Yang Jin, one of the henchmen of the white-haired island owner, and she put down the telescope in her hand to report to the island owner. The white-haired island lord bowed slightly, meaning that I had heard no arrows.

"The owner of the island is really wise, and he expected that they would shoot and visit first, so he didn't call his brothers to go to the ambush." Another gray-haired man named Uncle Xiao said.

The gray-haired man's name was Tiger Roar, and he was also one of the white-haired island lord's henchmen. Both he and Yang Jin have been following the white-haired island master since they were young, and they have been for nearly forty years.

The white-haired island lord waved his hand and said to them, "The show has begun, you go and prepare, I am here waiting for your good news." ”

The two of them received the order to worship, and then they both went down the tall building.

On top of this tall building, there is a dome to cover the sun, there are jade pillars to support, and there is a splendid paving below. There are four gauze curtains hanging from top to bottom, and the shrimp whiskers are half rolled, covering them layer by layer, and they are far from being like the secular world.

There is a bench on the highest platform, and the white-haired island owner is half-leaning on it, as if he is relieved and wants to watch a good show.

On top of this high-rise building, you can overlook the whole archipelago, the flowing spring is murmuring, the lake water is like a bi, the vines, pines and bamboos, the beauty is breathtaking...

The reason why the white-haired island lord had such a strong confidence in his plan was not only because he trusted the henchmen he had cultivated himself, but also because he knew his opponent well enough.

He knew the champion Hou still said, and he knew that this popular man of Yunling, the county lord of Minsa, had experienced two intersections with Yunling, and he also checked Pei Xing, the new lord of the Yue Clan. Crucially, he also knew very well the main decision-maker behind the still narrative and Mingsa, the Wanfu Venerable Lord of Wanling.

He knew that according to his plan, everyone in the plan would go according to his expectations, as long as there were no major mistakes in the process.

Although it was inevitable that the existence of this island would be exposed, he had minimized the damage, and the result was already ideal.

Now, as he had just said to his two henchmen, he was here with peace of mind waiting for the good news they had returned.

With the fragrance of the fragrance scattered and a few sips of freshly cooked tea, if life can always be so grasped, there is no need to calculate, how comfortable it should be... (To be continued.) )
