At noon on this day, on the sea on the west side of Huoji Island, a few sporadic fishing boats were casting nets on the sea to collect their nets, salvaging their livelihoods for the day. And on one of the inconspicuous fishing boats, there sat a few sturdy men, who did not seem to be focused on fishing, but pointed at the island in front of them.

These are Shi Wengong, Gu Bo, Di Cheng, Lei Jiong, Li Bao, and Guo Suanzi who came to investigate the terrain.

"Guo Dangjia is talking about that place?" Shi Wengong asked, pointing to a small mouth in the distance.

"It is that place, if you climb up from that cliff, you have to cross a mountain beam to the south to reach the back mountain of the Hei Lao Si Village."

"Oh!"

Sven replied, and didn't ask anything more, just stared at the place tightly, as if he wanted to imprint it in his mind.

"Camp Commander Shi, in my opinion, there should be no problem for our brother to climb that cliff, that place is only more than a hundred feet high, much lower than the cliff in the mountain behind our manor, all I am worried about is climbing at night and the terrain is not familiar."

Gu Bo looked at the terrain and thought for a while.

"I think this place is very remote, and it is better to go up to the shore in the evening." Lei Jiong suggested.

Di Cheng immediately objected: "No, several boats leaned up in broad daylight, if there was a sentry on this mountain, wouldn't it ruin the lives of the brothers in vain." ”

Shi Wengong quietly listened to the discussions of several deputies, but slowly had an idea in his heart. When he landed on Chin Island yesterday evening, the junior brother told him the idea of a surprise attack on Huoji Island, and he was full of promises when he boarded, and today when he saw this terrain with his own eyes, he felt that it was really not an easy task, but as the first battle of the special battalion, how could he retreat.

"Go back first, let the brothers get ready, we must take this place tomorrow night, our special battalion is to do things that other battalions can't do, don't let it be called special."

After making up his mind, Shi Wengong said domineeringly.

Everyone was also greatly affected when they heard this, and Li Bao couldn't help but say: "Battalion Commander Shi is so courageous, he deserves to be the head of the special battalion. ”

When the boat returned to Qin Island, Shi Wengong immediately went to Gu Haotian's place, and then discussed with Xu Guanzhong and the three of them for a long time before hurried back to the camp.

Let's say that since Hei Laosi fled back from Qin Island the day before yesterday, he has always been restless and frightened for the past two days, and he really can't understand why such a force suddenly appeared in this area. On the second day, a few of his men had fled from Chin Island, and when he heard this, he was even more convinced that those men were not good, so he put martial law on the whole island, and sent more men to guard all the key wharves.

However, as soon as the next hour passed, a man reported that an unknown ship had appeared in the open sea and was heading towards the island.

Seeing the report, Hei Laosi hurriedly climbed to the lookout on the front mountain, only to see a fleet of nearly 100 large and small ships heading towards the south and north of the mouth in two groups.

"Tell the brothers, guard the dock and fight for a while, if you don't all withdraw into the mountains, the lord wants to see what this group of people are going to eat and drink on the island!"

Hei Lao Si had a premonition that a head-on confrontation would not be beneficial, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to pass the order. Then he witnessed the battle of the two docks in the north and south, which perhaps should not be called a battle at all, but perhaps more appropriately called a drive. I saw that the ships on both sides forced their way to the dock, and then let go of a rain of arrows, and then four or five hundred men with iron armor and long knives boarded each side of the dock, and they stepped on neat steps, and in a few breaths, they killed the guards

Before, it was just the first day of the first year, and he fled on all fronts.

"Straight lady thief, this very long knife camp is really different!"

Hei Lao Si suddenly remembered the words of the deserters just now, but he was secretly glad that he had already prepared, and he would not please you even if he was in charge of your camp today, so he ordered all the people on the island to return to Laozhai.

Gu Haotian and Xu Guanzhong each led a group of men today to attack Huoji Island from the north and south passes, and they had imagined that it would not be too difficult to land on the island, but the current process was too smooth. In less than half an hour, they met in the saddle in the middle of the island, and then left some of the 3rd and 5th Battalions of sailors to check the villages in Qianshan, and then divided the troops into two ways to advance around both sides of Qianshan to the passage behind them.

There are actually three entrances to the old village, and the two outer ones are the two valley mouths in the north and south sandwiched between the two mountains, which are also the two places where the third and tenth battalions are now going to attack. The third is the last pass in the middle of the valley to the west into the camp, and it is also the most precipitous. The reason why Hei Lao Si dared to stay on the island was precisely because of these three passes, as well as the sufficient material reserves in the stockade.

The 10th Infantry Battalion of Li Kui and Bao Xu was responsible for attacking the mountain passage on the north side, and he, the new battalion commander, was eager to try and became famous in a battle. Gu Haotian also thought of this, so he was with him all the way.

The entrance of the north side is sandwiched between two cliffs, about two or three zhang wide, and a walled gate of more than two zhang high is built in the middle. When the tenth battalion arrived, Li Kui immediately organized two attacks, but it had no effect, but injured more than ten people, and only roared angrily, if Gu Haotian hadn't stopped it, this guy would have to go into battle in person.

A similar situation was encountered at the southern entrance, and after Gu Haotian received the news from Xu Guanzhong, he thought that unless gunpowder was used, even if he attacked it, the casualties would be too great to outweigh the losses. Even if the special battalion succeeded, there were only 500 people, and it was really difficult for them to occupy the western pass and to divide their troops to meet here. After thinking about it again, he called Yang Zaixing and instructed:

"You select two hundred elites from the guard battalion, sneak up from the front mountain in the evening, if the special battalion succeeds at night, and there is movement in the gate of the village, the guards on the mountain will be panicked, and then you will launch a surprise attack, if it is done, you will quickly insert it into the gate to meet us."

"Petty officials, rest assured, what the special battalion can do well, our pro-guard battalion will be able to do, and it's up to us."

Yang Zaixing immediately responded, saying that the recent limelight of the special battalion has overshadowed the trend of the pro-guard battalion, and he, the new deputy battalion commander, is also secretly holding back a lot of energy in his heart.

The battle between the north and south entrances soon fell into a stalemate because of the danger and difficulty, and the men and horses of Liangshan turned to build a camp outside, as if preparing for a siege. Hei Lao Si was very proud after receiving the report, he ordered his head to say that the front mountain should be guarded tightly, don't let the Liangshan people take advantage of the loopholes, and see how long he can surround him.

The time soon came to the evening, and the bandits on Huoji Island were greatly relieved because of the blockage of Liangshan's attack, and their tense nerves were also relaxed a lot.

In the back mountain, a group of pirates who were patrolling also got the news, and at that time, a bandit sat on a stone and said to a leader beside him:

"Just say it! Our camel island is not Guo Zhizi's Qin Island, so it is so easy to attack, let's rest first. Straight sissy thief! Walking back and forth on the mountain all day, the old man was tired to death. ”

"Don't be careless, the front mountain is not easy to attack, and the Liangshan thieves may have the idea of hitting the back mountain." That's it

Said uneasily.

"The head is timid, but in my opinion, he is worrying, the back mountains are full of cliffs, and there are huge waves below, not to mention people, even monkeys can't come up."

Thinking about it, a few people sat down on the spot, took out dry food and wine, and ate and drank.

At this moment, a small fishing boat on the western sea slowly approached, stopped about a few miles from the shore, and gradually left after a few breaths. At this time, the sky was already a little hazy, and the more than ten figures who were struggling to swim to the shore between the peaks and valleys, and the bandits who were enjoying dinner on the cliff, could not be found at all.

About half a pillar of incense, the group went up to the small beachhead on the west bank, and then quickly hid into the darkness under the cliff. These people are the vanguard detachment of the special battalion led by Gu Bo and Di Cheng, according to the plan set yesterday, several of them sneaked in at dusk, explored the path up the mountain, and prepared for the night climbing of the large army.

At this time, I saw Gu Bo asking, "Brother Di Cheng, are all the people together?" ”

"We're all ashore, and one of the twelve of us is not bad."

"Good! I'll go up and fix the rope first, and you'll pick up the follow-up personnel below. ”

"If it doesn't work, I'll go up first, and you'll answer at the bottom."

"Hugh is going to fight, I'm not as good as you in swimming, you're not as good as me in climbing, help me take a good look at the back road."

Gu Bo did not agree, but saw him carry a bundle of ropes, put some special tools in his waist, and climbed up the rock crevice with a few team members. In a matter of moments, the dexterous figures disappeared into the mist.

About half an hour, Gu Bo took the lead in climbing to the end of the cliff, he carefully poked his head out to look over, but saw that there was no other movement except for the messy trees, so he cautiously turned over, and then the follow-up team members followed one by one.

However, at this moment, there was a crisp sound of "pop" not far in front of him, Gu Bo and the others were startled, and hurriedly picked up the ground and did not dare to move, until a moment later, seeing that there was no movement in front of him, he sneaked over, only to find that it was a broken wine bottle.

Suddenly there must be someone behind the boulder! Gu Bo instantly made a judgment, so he gestured to the team members behind him, and several people immediately divided into two groups and flanked the sides of the boulder.

"Straight lady thief, it's really bad luck to let the master feed mosquitoes on this mountain on this hot day."

Just as Gubo was behind the rock, one of the bandits he suddenly heard muttered down to relieve himself. Seeing that he quickly approached the dark place, he made a chokew-locking movement with his left hand, and as soon as he pulled the dagger in his right hand, the bandit fell silently.

After a while, I heard a voice from above: "Second dog, why can't you come up when you pee, what's wrong with the ghost pulling it away." ”

"Hmmm! Here it comes! ”

Gu Bo covered his nose and replied vaguely, and immediately made a gesture, and five or six people quickly rushed out from behind the boulder.

"Straight lady thief, what are you talking about...... vaguely"

Before the bandit could finish speaking, he saw a white light flash, and he suddenly had two heads.

"Human!"

The rest of the people were stunned by the sudden change, and when they panicked, the personnel who were outflanked by both sides were killed in a moment.

Soon after, several boats approached the small beach on the back shore of Camel Island, and hundreds of people climbed to the top of the hill in the darkness of night along two hanging ropes.
