Li An considered that the area of the island is very large, the terrain is relatively complex and unfamiliar, and the vegetation coverage on the island is also very high, so it will cause great trouble to the attacking troops, in case the army gets lost on the island, or the attack site is not the core area of the pirates, it will cause losses.

The pirates have been in business for many years, and they undoubtedly know the topography of the island very well, in case the pirates find out that the elite sailors of the Tang Dynasty are coming, retreat into the depths of the island, and fight guerrilla warfare with the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably greatly weaken the equipment advantage of the Datang Navy Division, so that the equipment advantage of the Datang Navy Division will be brought into play to the minimum.

If you want to avoid this situation, you must be fully prepared, before dawn tomorrow, suddenly launch a large-scale attack, so that the pirates have no time to react at all, so as to annihilate most of the pirates in one fell swoop, as for a small number of pirates fleeing into the deep jungle of the island, there is no need to be afraid, let the forward battalion go to the attack, anyway, they are all guilty, and it doesn't matter how many people die.

After thinking about it, Li An felt that his plan was seamless, and it was the best battle plan, but he was inevitably a little excited before the battle, and he couldn't sleep with excitement, walked around the cabin, and unconsciously walked to the outside deck.

Looking at the pitch-black sea outside and the stars in the sky, Li Ang felt the tense atmosphere before the battle even more, although this battle was undoubtedly won, but it was difficult to predict how many soldiers and horses would be lost.

"Li Shilang, you haven't rested yet!"

The envoys of the Wen Kingdom must not be able to sleep, he lost the princess, heard that the Tang Sailor was going to attack the pirate's lair, he was very nervous, they saw the strength of the Tang Sailor with their own eyes, and never doubted the strength of the Tang Sailor, but they also knew the cruelty of the pirates very well, in case these pirate dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry and killed their beautiful princess, he would not be able to go back and explain.

Li An looked at the envoy and said, "You are worried about your beautiful princess!" ”

"Yes, the pirates are cruel, and if they kill the princess, I ......"

The envoy frowned worriedly.

Li An smiled: "Don't worry, our army suddenly attacked, the pirates didn't have time to kill the prisoners at all, and our soldiers will not kill people who lose their weapons, you just have to put your heart in your stomach, just wait for good news tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, that's all."

The envoy nodded in response, but he still didn't go back to sleep, so he stood nearby and accompanied Li An, because if he really couldn't sleep, he would suffocate to death if he stayed in the cabin.

Ang Lee's side is preparing for the war, while the pirates on Rising Sea Island are having a grand carnival.

They robbed the Wenguo delegation yesterday and obtained a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and, by the way, captured Her Royal Highness, the most beautiful princess of Wenguo, which is not a big gain.

Yesterday evening, they had already celebrated, but it was not enough to celebrate such a big harvest for one day, and this evening they celebrated again, and the celebration was even more enthusiastic than yesterday.

The leader of this group of pirates is called Wolf One, and he is also called a great king by other pirates, and the pirates of the headquarters naturally call him the king, he has been entrenched here for a long, long time, and even the black wolf wants to give him three points.

"King, didn't you rob a beautiful little lady yesterday, she is actually the princess of Wenguo, why is she so beautiful?"

A small pirate leader discovers the princess's identity by interrogating captured soldiers.

"It's actually Princess Wenguo, no wonder she looks so handsome."

The wolf was about to stay.

"King, you were busy all day yesterday, and you didn't have time to enjoy this beauty, tonight's beautiful scenery, it's better to enjoy it!"

One of the pirates said.

"King, you can play for a few more days, and if you get tired of playing, let the brothers try it, hahaha!"

A lewd pirate burst out laughing.

"King, this princess looks like a chick, white and tender, really fucking cute."

"Hahahaha!"

Wolf Yi also laughed, paused, and said loudly: "Send more people to take care of this princess of Wenguo, if anyone touches her hair, Lao Tzu will kill him." ”

"Why is that, my lord?"

A pirate leader noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right, and hurriedly asked.

The wolf stared straight and said, "Have you all fucking forgotten?" In a few days it will be the birthday of my big brother black wolf, Lao Tzu always has to give some gifts, a few days ago Lao Tzu was still worried? Big Brother Black Wolf doesn't lack anything, and no matter how much ordinary gold and silver treasures are given, he can't touch his heart, this princess of Wenguo is quite in line with Big Brother Black Wolf's appetite, and it is perfect as a birthday gift. ”

As the brother of the black wolf, the wolf knows what his brother likes, and the stunning beauty will definitely make the black wolf like it, but if he has already enjoyed it, it is not very valuable, and only the yellow flower girl can best impress the heart of the black wolf brother, and it is also the most sincere.

"Since this princess belongs to the black king, the little ones don't dare to touch it, they must not dare to mess around, the king just rest assured."

The wolf picked up a bowl of liquor and said loudly: "What woman is not a woman, drink, drink, don't get drunk tonight, come on." ”

The hordes of pirates feasted and drank, indulged themselves to their heart's content, and enjoyed the pleasures of pirate life, unaware of the looming danger.

Steam ships traveled twice as fast as ordinary sailing ships, so even if the pirate patrol ships spotted the Datang fleet, they would not have time to go back and inform them.

Lee Ang returned to the cabin in the middle of the night to rest, and before dawn, the fleet's forward steam gunboats had discovered the distant island and immediately reported to Ang Lee.

Although he was sleepy-eyed, he was about to attack, and Li An had to be strong and personally give orders for the attack of all troops.

"Big brother, a large black area ahead is the rising island."

Li An glanced at it, then looked at the map in front of him, and ordered: "The whole army is immediately ready for battle in accordance with the battle plan set yesterday. ”

Although I don't know much about the situation on the island, I still know a little about the situation near the port, especially the port, which can be seen from a long distance, and there are many buildings near the port, so this area must be the core area of the pirates.

Ang Lee's battle plan was to send twenty steam gunboats to bombard the land buildings behind the pirate port, kill and injure the pirates on duty, and if there were pirates on the pirate ship, they would immediately carry out artillery bombardment, or even sink the pirate ship completely.

Then, five steam landing ships landed in two ways, from two directions to attack the core area of the pirate's lair, the follow-up soldiers and horses also followed the landing, among them, the forward battalion of 2,000 people, divided into two roads, each road is a thousand men and horses, they followed behind the ironclad artillery car, together with the Guangzhou soldiers to cover the ironclad gun car attack and advance, in the terrain where the terrain is narrow, they have to send out to attack, so as to expand the results of the battle.

For example, in areas where the ironclad artillery trucks can't pass, they have entered the house to search for the remnants of pirates, and these tasks can only be completed by the soldiers of the Forward Battalion.

The main force of the Longwu Army follows behind the Forward Battalion as their backing force, and when necessary, the Longwu Army can send its artillery brigade to support the Forward Battalion in battle, so as to reduce casualties and eliminate pirates to a greater extent.

The remaining ten steam gunboats are tasked with blockading the entire island and preventing the pirate leaders from escaping the island.

The ten planes on the Celestial Army Mothership will go into battle when needed, and as long as the forward troops encounter a strong stronghold that is difficult to overcome, the Celestial Army will come to help.

The Celestial Force also has another important task, which is to airlift elite soldiers and seize strategic points to better combat the pirate forces.

As for where is the strategic location, as long as you go to the island to fight first, you can find out, so there is no need to worry.

The various units immediately began to move according to the pre-agreed route, and the steam gunboats were the fastest, and soon reached the island of Rising Sea, and immediately launched an artillery bombardment.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The number of guns possessed by twenty steam gunboats was very large, and the cobs shelled the facilities of the pirate harbor together, which the pirates could bear, and the dozens of pirates on duty were all blown up, leaving a large area of corpses, and the pirate camp several miles deep was also shaken and the walls collapsed.

Many pirates who were still asleep didn't know what was going on, and ran outside in a hurry, and many pirates ran out bare-bottomed without even having time to put on their underwear.

"Earthquake, is it an earthquake?"

"If there is an earthquake, the island will sink, so go to the port."

The pirates shouted in terror.

"It's not an earthquake, it's the Tang Army's sailors who have launched an attack, how many big ships? It's scary. ”

"The Tang Army Water Division is here, and the Tang Army Water Division has arrived so soon."

"The harbor was in flames, and we had to flee for our lives in the woods."

The pirates panicked, not thinking about how to defend themselves.

Because he drank too much last night, the pirate leader Wolf One had not woken up yet, and even if the sound of cannons shook the sky outside, it still didn't affect his sleep.

It is said that people who have no heart and no lungs have better sleep quality, and this wolf looks like a heartless person and has drunk alcohol, so he sleeps very well.

"King, king, no, the Tang Army Sailor is here."

The henchman didn't care too much, so he directly poured a basin of cold water on Wolf One's head, and woke him up.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

The wolf was suddenly woken up by the water, and quickly wiped the water droplets on his forehead with his hand, and asked in a panic.

"King, get out of here, the Tang Army's naval division suddenly attacked, and the sea was full of Tang Army's big ships, and the port was surrounded."

The little leader said in horror.

"King, this Tang Army Sailor is amazing, if you fight head-on, our army will definitely not be an opponent, it is better to withdraw first, and let the brothers resist first."

Another henchman said busily.

As soon as the wolf heard the rumbling cannon fire in the distance and the screams of the pirates under his command, he also understood that the other party was fierce, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Evacuate here with me and go up the mountain." ”

A group of pirates protected the wolf and ran towards the depth of the island, and the rest escaped from the pursuit of the Tang army with the help of familiarity with the terrain.

As for the princess of Wenguo who was captured by them, she had long been thrown out of the clouds, and it was time for life and death, who could have thought of the captured beauty.

Just when Wolf Yi led the pirates to flee in depth, the two landing forces of the Tang Army's naval division had already begun to land, three steam landing ships landed in the direction of the port, and the other two landed in another small port not too far away, and formed a front and rear attack on the pirate's main camp.

Fifty ironclad artillery wagons, 500 Canton troops, and 2,000 soldiers of the forward battalion, immediately after the landing, launched an all-out attack on the pirate group, and erected a large banner of surrender to recruit some of the coerced pirates.

Pirates are cold weapons, and they can't resist the artillery attack of the ironclad artillery truck, and the hastily constructed defense facilities can't stop the impact of the ironclad artillery truck, and soon, the weak defense system is facing collapse.

Seeing that the pirates had collapsed, and the original vanguard battalion of the pirates, they didn't care about Li An's surrender policy, so they rushed directly to the front of the ironclad artillery car, and killed the pirates' heads to their heart's content, in order to atone for their sins, and even, kill a few more pirates and get a reward.

Under the reprimand of the officers and men of the Canton Army, the forward battalion was slightly restrained, but it still cut off five or six hundred heads, plus the pirates who were wiped out by ironclad artillery trucks and steam gunboats, the total number should be a thousand.

That is to say, from the beginning of the attack, in such a short period of time, more than 1,000 pirates have been killed, and nearly 1,000 pirates have been surrounded by the Tang Army's naval divisions, and they cannot escape at all, so they can only helplessly raise their hands and surrender.

According to the regulations, the Guangzhou army imprisoned all the 1,000 surrendered pirates in an open area, and 100 soldiers were responsible for guarding them to prevent them from escaping.

And at this time, the soldiers of the Six Thousand Dragon Martial Army had already landed on the island, and even Li An had come up.

"Li Shilang, our army won a complete victory, killed a thousand pirates, captured a thousand pirates, and the remaining three thousand pirates fled in all directions, most of them fled into the mountains, and the main force of our army is pursuing by different routes. I believe that there will be greater results soon. ”

One of the generals reported loudly.

Li An nodded and said: "Okay, good job, tell the troops in front not to be too scattered, and there must be no less than five hundred soldiers and horses pursuing each way, so as not to fall into the ambush of pirates." ”

"Yes, Li Shilang, the last general will go and tell the pursuing troops."

The general answered and immediately went to pass the message.

"Big brother, the pursuit force is less than three thousand, and the six thousand dragon martial army under my command will also go to reinforcements."

Li Feiyu's troops had just landed and had not yet started a battle.

Li An thought for a moment and said, "You send one army to reinforce the front, and the other army stays to clean up the battlefield, by the way, you must find Princess Wenguo as soon as possible." ”

"Li Shilang, I and the soldiers under my command all know the princess, let's go find it!"

The envoy of Wenguo hurriedly took the initiative to ask.

Li An nodded lightly and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, go quickly!" ”
