The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills. so

The sea breeze whined and howled, and the sound of the rolling waves crashing against the beach was deafening. On top of a low watchtower halfway up the mountainside, two guards of Daishan Island were shivering together to keep warm and fight the cold, although there were several large wooden houses not far below the watchtower, which were brightly lit, and the sound of fighting wine penetrated into the ears with the sea breeze that went straight up. In such a lively situation, the two of them didn't dare to look at it, let alone sneak in and have a lively time.

Daishan Island is located 30 miles west of the Daqushan Islands, and the terrain is in a north-south direction. It is not so much an island as a narrow mountain range that rises above the sea.

The steep eastern slope and the relatively gentle western slope of Daishan traverse the island from north to south, and most people will regard it as the backbone of a big fish if you see it from afar on a boat on the sea during the day.

Since the Japanese invaders caused a lot of trouble along the coast a few years ago, the fact that the Japanese pirates in the Daqushan Islands are entrenched is well known. It stands to reason that the imperial court should have suppressed bandits a long time ago and never suffered in the future. It's just that this sea area is densely packed with reefs, and the passage of small boats is acceptable, and the boats are slightly larger, so if there is no person familiar with the waterways here to lead the way, it is inevitable that you will run into the reef. Once it hits the rock, it will be the end of the ship's destruction and death, and no one has the courage to take this risk. Some people will say that it is possible to find a fisherman who is familiar with the waterway here to lead the way, but the Japanese have been entrenched here for decades, and the fishermen of Daishan Island have regarded this place as a forbidden place for so many years, and no one knows how to go through the waterway.

In this way, it is too difficult to suppress bandits, and it is difficult for a small group of bandits to become a big weapon, and the imperial court sailors who do not want to cause more trouble turn a blind eye and ignore it, after all, the outcome of this battle is unpredictable, and they can't afford to suffer a big loss.

But in this case, there must be a barrier in front of the Daqushan Islands, so as to prevent the bandits from attacking the coastal state capitals again. And Daishan Island as this barrier is more suitable, the terrain here is dangerous to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, the east slope does not need to be fortified, so steep terrain not to mention people, even if you pull a monkey to climb it is possible to fall down and die, just fortify on the west slope. Compared with the eastern slope, although the terrain of the western slope is gentle, it is also a dangerous place where a husband and a wife cannot open it.

This is not to mention, the terrain here is not suitable for living, except for hundreds of fishermen who have been fishing for a living for generations, there are not many residents at all, and sending people and horses to station there will not affect people's livelihood too much.

In this way, after the defeat of the Japanese in the last war, the Daishan Island Senhe Office was officially established. The name is an empty shell, and there are only about 500 sergeants on the register, but even so, it is enough to deter the Japanese who want to occupy the island.

The advantage of the garrison here is also obvious, and the guard tower set up on the top of the mountain can completely see the movements of the Japanese pirates in the west of the Daqushan Islands thirty miles away, with their clairvoyance. During the day, as long as they take action, they will give early warning, so that they have nothing to hide and no chance to take advantage of it. At night, when the wind and waves are high, just a few small sampans can't go far, and a big wave can even take the boat and people into the sea at once.

If you want to succeed, there are only two ways to go, one is to go out from the east of the Daqushan Islands during the day, and make a detour to avoid Daishan Island, but this detour is far away, and it is very likely that you will have to sail at night, so you will return to the previous problem.

The second path is also simple, unless the Japanese have the ability to brutally capture Daishan Island, and use it as a springboard to move on. However, with the dangerous terrain, the soldiers of the five hundred Daishan Mountains were enough to discourage the Japanese Kou. Neither of these methods worked, so it completely cut off the way of life for the Japanese invaders, and it was possible to survive for a while and starve them to death.

So now at night, the men and horses on duty at the top of the mountain have already evacuated, and only the five watchposts on the western slope are still on guard. However, the soldiers on duty had thoroughly figured out the pattern during these days, and the Japanese who only had some small boats at night did not dare to leave the Daqushan Islands at all. The reason why he is sticking to his post now is just that the thousands of adults are too timid. This grandson has given a strict order, if the five guard towers on the western slope of his current state are left unattended at night, the only result will be a hundred military sticks! With such a heavy punishment, no one dared to be sloppy, so they could only obediently obey orders and let the wind and rain blow.

Just as the soldiers on duty were shivering in the biting sea breeze, the five red-haired ghost merchant ships that had left the Daqushan Islands an hour earlier were quietly approaching Daishan Island with a load of Japanese robbers.

The five ships look at it at a glance, and it gives people the feeling that it is not as good as the great fortune ship of the imperial court sailors at any point. But there is something else inside, the capacity in the bottom compartment is quite large, any ship can carry more than 300 people, in terms of the number of passengers, it is three times that of the imperial court sailor Dafu ship!

The five ships set out together, and directly carried more than 1,000 Japanese pirates to approach Daishan Island in the night, but they didn't know that most of the soldiers of Daishan Island's thousand households who had a big ship among the Japanese were still asleep, and no one thought that the danger was approaching.

Faintly walked out of the cabin, and was blown by the sea breeze, Zheng Shanchuan was much more sober. Over the years, I have been active on the 6th floor, and as soon as I got on the boat, I couldn't stand it, especially at night, when the wind and waves were high, and the boat was even more shaky, and I almost didn't highlight my bile.

"Pass the order, no one is allowed to make a loud noise before the battle, even if you fall into the water, you can't ask for help, if anyone breaks the big things of this sect, the old man pulls out his skin!" As soon as he was more comfortable, Zheng Shanchuan hurriedly ordered, these widows are all unorganized and undisciplined rice buckets, if they don't be ruthless, it is very likely that this major incident will be ruined by his behavior!

Monk An Sheng and Fuyun Lao Dao had been closely following behind Zheng Shanchuan to listen to the order, and when they heard his order, they hurriedly bowed down, and personally ran to the hatch to give the order, repeating this order over and over again with great momentum.

Although the people are indeed as unorganized and undisciplined as Zheng Shanchuan thought, they are all bright-eyed, and this formation is also a big action without asking, if it is really because of their own mistakes, this is really not used to scare people.

Needless to say, many people have shown that they understand this order with practical actions, and many of the powerful and arrogant Japanese cowards on weekdays automatically tore off a piece of cloth from under their clothes and blocked it in their mouths, for fear that they would accidentally cause a big disaster.

put down a few boarding 6 boats on the big boat, and one by one the would-be robbers skillfully held the rope and slid down to it, but the performance of the Wuwei Sect masters brought by Zheng Shanchuan can only be described as unsatisfactory, one by one clumsy and fatal, and there were even two stupid people who fell into the water.

Fortunately, the monk Ansheng was cautious, and he had long expected that these laymen might make mistakes, so he let a few people with ropes around their waists and good water qualities in the water early in the morning, otherwise they would have made such a mistake, but it would have really become a hatred for eternity.

The moonlight was dark, and the guards on the watchtower had not fulfilled their duties at all, and there were no Japanese at the foot of the mountain climbing.6 I saw small boats shuttling back and forth in the undulating waters, and more and more people gathered on the shore, and a big battle began.

The results are self-evident, the men and horses who had rested on the shore began to climb the mountain lightly, and the soldiers who were sleeping in the wooden houses returned to the west one by one, and their deaths were described as wishes. Occasionally, one or two soldiers were not killed by a single sword, but were awakened by pain and screamed, and they were also covered by the whistling sea breeze, and they could not be heard ten paces away.

The sentry guards did not do anything, but the dogs raised by the fishermen on the island worked, and soon after the group climbed the mountain, they barked wildly to warn.

The topography of Daishan Island is also peculiar, the beach is only a small slip, and it can be completely submerged at a high tide, so it stands to reason that there is no way to live in such a place. However, halfway up the hill on the western slope seemed to have been cut by an artifact, leaving a place nearly a hundred steps wide, which was smoother than the official road built by the government.

Upward, it is covered with mountains and forests, and people hide in it and others do not want to find it. Down, it is rugged mountains and rocks, there is no other way except a few mountain trails, and its height makes the tide look at the mountains and sigh, without the slightest helplessness. That's not all, there are still some vegetables and grains grown in many places on this mountainside, and hundreds of people on the island have been self-sufficient all these years, living here like a paradise.

Although the Japanese have been entrenched in the nearby Daqushan Islands for many years, as long as they are vigilant, once they come to rob, they will be safe to run to the top of the mountain with their families. The terrain is complex, and the numbers are even more lush

However, since the garrison on the island, the lives of these fishermen have been greatly affected. Although their military discipline seems to be quite strict, no one can conclude that there are no such crazy people among them, and the men have to be careful when they sleep every night, for fear that a few bad guests will break into the house in the middle of the night.

At this time, the men, who had to open half their eyes when they heard the barking of the dogs, got up without saying a word, grabbed the harpoons placed beside the bed, and carefully opened the door to check, while the women and children hid in the beds trembling, their eyes full of horror.

There was not even a ghost in the peaceful yard, but his dog barked wildly, and his two front legs were on the wood door and he couldn't get down.

The man who had just breathed a sigh of relief was shocked, this situation would only appear when the Japanese invaders secretly landed on the island in previous years!

Without further ado, the man turned around and ran back into the house, beckoning to his family, while moving the large wooden cabinet in the corner, and a twice-squared cave appeared there, and this scene was staged in every house.

In this battle, Zheng Shanchuan's ability finally appeared, because of the careful arrangements in advance, knowing that in the end, Lord Qianhu and his guards would only have the enemy invade, but at this time, they were powerless, and more than a dozen people struggled, and finally ended up dying in battle.

"Protector, the fishermen on the island are gone!" Fuyun Lao Dao panted and ran to Zheng Shanchuan, who was commanding people to check the corpses of the officers and soldiers, and said.

Zheng Shanchuan frowned, "Gone?" "Yes, my subordinates have found caves in almost all of people's houses, and sent people to take a look at them, and they go straight to the mountain!" Fuyun Lao Dao said a little angrily, if it weren't for the people brought by the Dharma Protector this time to follow, he wouldn't have known that these fishermen had tunnels to escape from their homes, no wonder they had come to grab food every time before

I can't even see a single figure.
