On the coastline more than 20 miles east of the battle battlefield between the special operations battalion and the Hui soldier transport army, a group of Hongmen soldiers were quietly hiding in a reef beach, always watching the movements around them.

There was no movement on the coastline except for the sound of waves and seabirds, and no one would have imagined that a life-and-death battle was unfolding in the western hills.

"Captain, the sea has always been our territory, does it make sense for us to stare at the sea here? Which ship on the sea has not been checked countless times, and if there is anything that is not good for us, it has already been discovered by our sailors! ”

In the team of twelve, a young member complained to his captain.

In order to cover the movement of the team, Hongmen sent a partial division to disguise itself as a pirate on the sea for the first time, and appeared on the territory of the nearby guard post to force the other party to close the gate.

Although the team in this place did not know what the specific target was, everyone could vaguely feel the gravity of the battle.

"This is the most suitable deep water area in the nearby waters as a temporary dock, and if there are ships that want to temporarily dock on the coastline within a radius of tens of miles, this is the only option for them, so we are not aimlessly watching, you know?"

The team leader looked at the young man next to him who had just graduated from Bengang Academy, and did not hesitate to tell the brothers around him about his experience.

"There is a situation!"

Holding binoculars, the team members who were lying on the top of the reef whistled downward, and a group of soldiers hurriedly sat up straight, waiting for further observations.

"Five 2,000-material sea ships have a very deep draft and a huge carrying weight."

"They're going to dock here!!"

"The sea ship anchored about three miles of the coastline and lowered the landing boat!"

"It's the Ming Army!!"

When he saw that the boats were coming down with a group of heavily armed Ming Dynasty soldiers, the soldiers in charge of watching and observing finally couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"What? Ming army? How did they land here, could it be that they came to support the Ming Dynasty army, which was being attacked twenty miles to the west? How did they know that the Ming troops of the convoy had been attacked? ”

As a squad leader who knows a little bit of the insider, when he heard the information reported back by his subordinates, countless questions appeared in his mind.

"Flying Eagle, you take a group of brothers to retreat first and report to the brothers of the special operations battalion!"

The captain had a lot of questions, but this did not hinder him from issuing orders, and the first thing the captain thought of was to warn the soldiers of the special operations battalion who were fighting in the rear.

"Captain, what about you?"

The little soldier was assigned to the team by the captain to report the news, and looked at the captain and his party who were still in place, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"We have our mission, soldiers, to carry out orders!"

The captain's previous peace was restrained by the current crisis, and in the face of the arrogant warrior's inquiry, the captain roared fiercely.

"Yes!"

Although he was unwilling, the little soldier finally followed the commander to crawl away in the distance with the blessing of the military order.

"Keep watching, the most important thing is to count the number of opponents!"

"Understood!"

Looking at the departing Du Xiao Warrior and his party, the captain breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time felt a little guilty for his favoritism.

The little soldier was an orphan he took in during his exile, although it was a very stupid thing to carry a drag oil bottle with him when he was in exile, but I don't know why when he saw the little guy staring at him with a pair of big round eyes, and opened his mouth to say the word "hungry" to himself, the captain's heart, which he thought was numbed by the countless miserable pictures he had encountered during the exile, melted in an instant.

Then he took the little guy and fled all the way from Shaanxi to Anhui, and then to Suzhou Mansion in Jiangsu, and was finally brought to Dayuan Island by Qi Sanyi and his gang who recruited displaced people in Suzhou Prefecture.

Among the displaced people, the first to be selected are those who are strong and have skills, and the best place for the strong people is naturally the Hongtang army, which has a lot of welfare.

At that time, he was attracted by the various benefits mentioned in Hongtang's recruitment book, and the captain joined the army without thinking about it, and now he thinks that if he had chosen to be a farmer, it might have been a better choice.

But because of this, he adopted the little guy to be better cared for, to study and read without tuition, but the two of them lived a better life than before they went into exile.

The captain's family had died as early as the turmoil in Shaanxi, and after adopting the little soldier alone, he found the warmth of home again, and took care of this kid as his own son.

And the little guy also felt this father's love, when he was taken in, he was still young, and he didn't remember anything, but he could remember that his life was saved because of this middle-aged man, and he also regarded it as his father's filial piety.

Without the captain's knowledge, after the little soldier graduated from Bengang Academy, he suddenly ran to the Hongtang Army Recruitment Office and became a warrior like the captain.

By the time the captain knew, the wood was already in the boat, and the little soldier had already received military training in the Hongtang Recruit Training Camp.

In the end, what the captain could do was to use all his energy to arrange the little soldier who had just come out of the boot camp under his command, and he would be protected by his elder, so that he could feel at ease.

"Hopefully he'll be able to reach his destination safely!"

Retracting his thoughts, the captain also retracted his thoughts, and began to hide in the shadows, following the team members, staring at the ships that were constantly transporting soldiers towards the coastline.

"Fifteen hundred and three, fifteen hundred and forty ......"

The captain repeatedly transported the Ming soldiers ashore through small boats, silently remembering the approximate number of the other party in the letter.

The five sea ships stopped swallowing out the Ming army soldiers, and it was already half an hour since they landed in the first batch of lectures, and at the same time that the other party stopped transporting troops and disembarked, the captain of the Hongtang army also met with the five team members around him, and counted them out with each other.

"There are about 2,000 people, and the accent should be from the Ming army in Anhui."

After summarizing, the captain estimated the approximate number of each other, and said with a solemn face.

"What people!"

Suddenly, the soldiers on the reef who were monitoring the movement of the Ming army on the beach let out a low roar, accompanied by a low and rapid whistling sound, the soldiers on the reef snorted, and fell backwards to the captain's hiding place.

"Disperse!!"

The captain's expression was tense, but when he looked at the dart that hit the heart in the chest of the soldier who fell down from the reef, he knew that something was wrong, and turned around and shouted at the remaining four soldiers!

Like apes, four figures leaped out of their hiding places and scattered towards the plains behind.
