The sudden attack made the Dongjiang army's advance have to stop, and after Lixuan escaped by chance, he found that the other ten brothers had been unfortunately killed. A raging fire broke out in Lixuan's heart, and this guy tightened the saber in his hand, and wanted to rush into the bushes again to fight the enemy hiding inside.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Licheng immediately rushed over, stretched out his hand to grab the impulsive Lixuan: "Third brother, don't come nonsense." ”

This loud shout was like a blow to the head, and Li Xuan suddenly came to his senses, but he was still indignant and roared angrily: "Damn the widows, if you don't break all of them into pieces here today, you will not give up!" ”

Licheng said in a deep voice: "Although the bushes in front of us are not very lush, they are enough for those widows to hide, if we don't have a feasible tactic, we rush in rashly, we will only send meat to the knife pad and let them slaughter." ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Second brother, what should I do, you say." ”

Licheng frowned and pondered for a moment, then directly retreated everyone to the beach on the coast, distanced himself from these bushes, and then said to the flag commander beside him: "Inform the chief soldier of the ship of what we encountered, and ask the artillery on the warship to bombard these bushes." ”

The flag commander did not dare to slack off, and after agreeing, he immediately rushed back to the small boat and rowed the boat towards Mao Wenlong. During this period, Lixuan and Licheng did not go up to fight, but quietly waited for Mao Wenlong's decision.

Soon, they saw that the ten warships that had stayed at sea began to approach slowly, which was obviously a sign that Mao Wenlong was also bombarding the bushes.

Lixuan and Licheng looked at each other and smiled, and then ordered a thousand soldiers to lie directly on the beach like them, covering their ears with their hands, ready to meet the roaring artillery fire.

Murakotaro, who had been observing the battle situation on the island, suddenly realized that it was not good, and in his telescope, he clearly saw those warships that had been parked quite far away, but suddenly began to approach slowly. This was all a precursor to the bombardment of the reef island, and Murakotaro was immediately shocked, and immediately shouted: "Pass the order, let all the people hiding in the bushes withdraw." ”

As soon as his words fell, more than a dozen roars exploded on the islands and reefs, and for a while, the sky shook and the earth shook, and the entire islands and reefs could obviously feel a great shaking.

The bushes, which had just been intact, had been cleared out of a large clearing by the bombardment of a dozen shotguns. In addition to the staggering bushes, some dead bodies can be seen, apparently the same as the would-be pirates.

Li Xuan looked at the corpses of more than a dozen dead widows, and the depression in his heart dissipated a little.

The other bushes that had not yet been touched by the artillery fire soon burst out one after another, and one by one the would-be robbers began to flee from the bushes in a panic.

The ship's artillery fire fired a salvo every dozen breaths, grinding mercilessly across the small bushes. The pirates began to suffer casualties, and it was not until they had completely escaped the bushes that they were able to stop and catch their breath to see what had become of the place where they had been hiding.

The warships of the Dongjiang Army are extremely sharp, Wang Datie's craftsmanship is not blown, and Mao Wenlong, a guy who only understands theory and doesn't know how to build, helps to give advice, Wang Datie's forging technology has improved by leaps and bounds.

After three consecutive volleys, the bushes on the reef had been leveled to the ground, and many corpses could be faintly seen among the crooked trees. The Japanese were killed and injured by such a bombardment, and not many people fled.

Murako Taro's face turned blue, Mao Wenlong actually came to such a hand, obviously he didn't expect it. Since the reef is really small and has no depth, the perimeter can easily be covered by the guns of the warships. This time alone, Murakotaro estimated that at least more than 100 of his men had died.

The sneak attack on the bushes has been destroyed, and it is no longer realistic to continue to send people up to block the advance of the Dongjiang Army. After a little hesitation, Murakotaro simply abandoned this line of defense and focused on the second line of defense instead.

"Pass the order, abandon the first line of defense, and attack the Dongjiang Army on the second line of defense." Murakotaro put down his binoculars and said coldly.

"Yes, Elder!" Meizi immediately passed the order.

Murako Taro waited until Meizi's order was finished, and then continued: "Go immediately and lead the people who are ambushing at sea, and find an opportunity to destroy or capture Mao Wenlong's warships, there must be no mistake!" ”

Meizi said firmly, "Yes, Elder! ”

Seeing Umeko leave in a hurry with two subordinates, a hideous smile appeared on Murako Taro's face. The battle on the reef was just to attract the main force of the Dongjiang Army, and his real target was Mao Wenlong's warships. At the end of the day, fighting at sea and striking the enemy's ships is the real way to win.

The Wako had a lot of experience in fighting at sea, and Murako Taro was completely sure that he would defeat Mao Wenlong at sea, and it was precisely because of this consideration that he would deliberately leak his hideout.

The confrontation on land still gave him no hope of victory, but when it came to the battle plan at sea, Murako Taro was still full of confidence.

Licheng and Lixuan had already begun to continue to lead the army to advance at this moment, and when they passed by the flattened bushes, they could still find some undead widows wailing. The Dongjiang army was not polite to them, and directly raised their swords and finished them off.

Beyond the bushes was a rather steep slope, and as soon as the Dongjiang Army approached, a burst of fire suddenly sounded, and several officers and men of the Dongjiang Army were shot and fell to the ground without any defense.

Lixuan and Licheng immediately retreated, and the sudden musket attack made them once again blocked from moving forward.

"Damn the wolf, it's so tightly defended, it's obvious that it's been prepared for a long time." Li Xuan's angry fist slammed into the ground, raising a puff of dust.

"We can't rush forward, we have to ask the general for instructions." Licheng looked at the steep slope and frowned.

Li Xuan had no objection after hearing this, and ordered someone to go to inform Mao Wenlong on the spot, and they could only continue to stay where they were and wait. And the Japanese on the slope are also very strange, as long as the Dongjiang army does not go up, they will not take the initiative to fight down.

Mao Wenlong had been watching the battle on the reef island on the warship, and at this moment, he saw the Dongjiang Army being blocked again in the telescope, and immediately frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

Hong Chengchou put down the binoculars and said: "There is a trace of unusualness in this, and we still need to be cautious." ”

Mao Wenlong said in surprise: "Did the military advisor see something?" ”
