Chapter 407: Night Attack
The sea is gentle and tame in spring, and at night, the wind blowing against the sea is still a little cool.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were krakens on the East China Sea, the heavens and the earth were dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the manic waves swept the East China Sea day and night.
Later, the Holy Mother of the Sea Spirit, who was in charge of the sea, passed through this place, and was angry with the Kraken, and could not bear the suffering of the Cang Ling, so she summoned her spirit beast Xuanwu to go into the sea and fight with the Kraken for ten days and ten nights. In the end, the basalt spirit beast defeated the vicious kraken and struck it into the East China Sea.
However, the Kraken is transformed by the chaotic qi of heaven and earth, and has an immortal soul, in order to prevent the Kraken from continuing to poison the sea after recovering its vitality, the Xuanwu Spirit Beast turned into a boulder and fell from the Nine Heavens, holding the Kraken at the bottom of the sea, never coming out.
In order to mourn and thank the kindness of the Holy Mother of the Sea Spirit and the Xuanwu Spirit Beast, the fishermen named the island formed by the fossil Zhenzhen Demon of the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Dongxian Island.
The Xuanwu Spirit Beast is also one of the four sacred beasts in the legend, the only one among the four holy beasts that only exists in mythological stories, and the only one that benefits mankind.
After Yang Yi listened to the mythical story of Dongxian Island, he looked up at the shadow of the mountains and forests of Dongxian Island under the gray night, under the background of the moonlight and blue waves, Dongxian Island was really like a Xuanwu giant beast, lying on the sea and sky, roaring and domineering.
Yang Yi said with emotion: "It's a pity that the Xuanwu Spirit Beast can suppress the ferocious Kraken, but it can't deter the greedy people's hearts. ”
Zheng He on the side also sighed: "A few decades ago, when Daguang was victorious, Dongxian Island was also quite prosperous, and ships from the south to the north would dock at Dongxian Island. It's just that later the thieves rebelled, and Dongxian Island was lonely and difficult to defend against overseas, so there were fewer and fewer people on the island, and no merchant ships dared to come here again. ”
Yang Yi shook his head and said: "The impact of the rise and fall of the dynasty will never be only between the courts, the grass and trees of the entire country will be very deep, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, whether it is the fierce Di people or the Wuhai people, they all want to take advantage of the great light and many difficulties, to get a piece of the soup." ”
Zheng He said angrily: "The Uhai country is a small island country, and it is just a clown jumping off the beam in front of my big light. ”
Yang Yi glanced at Zheng He and said, "Don't despise any fierce nation. ”
Yang Yi knows better than anyone the horror of the people of the island country, and if it were not for the resistance of hundreds of millions of Chinese people in the vast land of China and the drastic changes in the world battlefield, the Chinese nation may really suffer an unprecedented catastrophe.
Zheng He was stunned, and when he heard the vigilance in Yang Yi's words, he hurriedly bowed his hand and didn't dare to speak.
Yang Yidao: "The cruelty and ferocity of the Wahai people are a hundred times more terrifying than you think, there are not many officials in our Shu who understand maritime affairs, and your burden will be very heavy in the future, remember, don't despise any enemy, even a grain of sand may blind your eyes." ”
"My subordinates understand." Zheng He said respectfully.
At this time, there were several small boats on the dark sea slowly heading towards the "Red Sun", and Monkey Jian'er said happily: "Your Highness, the scout has returned." ”
Sure enough, when the boat approached, the Shu army on the deck of the "Red Sun" put down the basket and pulled a soldier on the boat up.
"Back to Your Highness, General Murong told me that the eyes of the Wuhai people are clear, and they can go ashore." Scouts report back.
It turned out that after the "Red Sun" sailed into the area of Dongxian Island, Yang Yi ordered Murong Sinan to lead the scouts to land under the guidance of Song Ji to find out the situation on the island and clear out the place where it could land.
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Leave three hundred people on the boat to answer, and the rest will land on Dongxian Island with me." ”
At the moment, more than 800 Shu troops took advantage of the night to touch Dongxian Island from a small bay mouth, and when Yang Yi finally landed ashore, the Shu army had already arranged a defensive formation on the edge of a cliff.
Murong Sinan immediately came up, and reported back the news of his personal investigation: "Dongxian Island is not big, there are about 400 Japanese people on the island, all of whom are stationed in a fishing village on the island. ”
"Are you sure?" Yang Yi asked.
Murong Sinan nodded and said, "Give me two hours to ensure that none of the Wuhai people can escape." ”
Murong Sinan was born in the Murong family, although the family is in the middle, but the nature of the military family is dependent, in addition to cultivating martial arts since childhood, the way of using soldiers has never fallen, this kind of small-scale night attack is naturally handy.
At that moment, everyone didn't say much, and began to touch the island under the leadership of Murong Sinan.
In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the fishing village that Murong Sinan said.
The fishing village is not big, only thirty or forty households, and at this time, the lights in the fishing village are flickering, and almost every household has a figure shaking.
Yang Yi frowned and said, "The people in this house are all Wuhai people? ”
Murong Sinan nodded and said, "Exactly, there are more than four hundred people here. ”
Yang Yi smiled in disbelief and said, "The Wuhai people are really arrogant. ”
When the army is marching outside, it must be stationed in the camp, the front, middle and rear three battalions complement each other, and the advance can be attacked and retreated, which is the most basic way to use troops, where there are soldiers all live directly in the house.
The only reason why the Wahai people are not so stupid is arrogance. Now that the East Naval Division of Yazhou has somehow disappeared, the entire East China Sea is the world of the Wahai people, and they would never have expected that someone would dare to secretly attack at night.
Murong Sinan smiled and reported: "The open and dark sentinels arranged by the Wuhai people outside have been figured out, and they can be done at any time. ”
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Fight quickly." After thinking about it, he said, "Don't hurt the villagers of the fishing village." ”
Murong Sinan took the order and left.
Soon, the Shu army moved.
There was no suspense at all for the battle-hardened soldiers of the Shu army, and the Wahai people invaded Dongxian Island, lived in houses, drank wine and ate meat, and boasted to each other about how many light people they had killed.
Murong Sinan personally led the team and touched the houses one by one at the head of the village, and it was not until he had already assassinated dozens of Japanese warriors that the village resounded with the sound of babbling Japanese dialect.
When the Japanese people in the house heard the warning of the enemy attack, they were disheveled and drunkenly rushed out of the house with their swords, but they were greeted only by the darkness of the night and the crossbow arrows that came from nowhere.
In the light and shadow of the arrows and crossbows, the Wa Wa people who shouted fell one by one, and because these Wa Hai people were scattered in various houses, they could not organize an effective counterattack at all, and the Shu army that was killed by the secret had nowhere to hide, and soon the battle was coming to an end.
In less than an hour, Murong Sinan, who had entered the village, sent a sergeant back to inform Yang Yi that all the Uhai people in the fishing village had been cleaned up and could enter the village.
