Chapter 1792: Landing on the Island
Since you want to go to the island, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong are naturally indispensable, these two are Li Er's two most trusted subordinates, and the prototype of the legendary door god is not groundless. Vertices are updated the fastest
However, the steel battleship could not drive to the shore, as a sharp-bottomed ship, its waterline was much deeper than expected, if they didn't want to swim back to Datang, they could only put the boat into the water, and then rowed to the shore by manpower.
On the island, as Li Er said, there is really smoke rising, and the smoke proves that there are people.
It's just that unlike what Li Er thought, this island is still wild, and the so-called people are just a group of natives.
So when the huge ships sailed into the coast, they were not surprisingly attacked.
Bare-bottomed natives swarmed out in legendary canoes, raining down long wooden arrows with venom on the ships.
"Emperor Taishang, why don't we wait first?" Eldest Sun Wuji looked at the black monkey-like natives below, screaming, jumping, and attacking the warship like crazy, with a trace of hesitation flashing on his face.
"What's there to wait for, extinguish what happened at their fingertips." Although Wei Chigong has been cultivating himself at home during this time, his fiery temper has not changed at all, and he has always had only one word for the enemy who dares to provoke Datang.
Li Shimin looked at the natives who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, rushed up one after another, and poked the boat with the pieces of wood in their hands, and sighed helplessly, so stupid that there would be no immortals on the island, otherwise how could anyone challenge the steel battleship with flesh and blood.
In the end, the Emperor Taishang, who was not interested, glanced at Dugu Qingyun: "Qingyun, you are more familiar with the South China Sea, you can look at this matter." ”
"Whoa!" Dugu Qingyun was already a little anxious at this time, this old dragon of the South China Sea was the king and hegemon in the South China Sea, when had he been besieged like this, if it wasn't for the fact that the emperor was there, he would have beaten them a long time ago.
Now with Li Er's permission, he naturally will not show mercy to his subordinates, and as soon as he gave the order, countless shirtless men poured out from dozens of warships around, holding steel crossbows that had been eliminated by the regular troops and attacking those natives.
These people are all his subordinates who he once recruited in the South China Sea, and they belong to neither the 'sea wolves' nor the sailors, and if you insist on saying this, these people can be regarded as a militia at most.
However, even the fighting power of the militia is not comparable to those natives, and the three-edged crossbow arrows violently tear apart the bodies of those natives under the powerful catapult power of the steel crossbow, taking away their humble and fragile lives.
And with the mass death of those natives, the sea gradually churned.
It was a large number of sharks attracted by the smell of blood, and in the face of the abundance of fresh delicacies, they also had a killing party.
Desperate screams echoed across the sea, and sharks, spurred by the smell of blood, began to attack the canoes, knocking them over with their strong bodies before dragging them to the bottom of the sea.
Miserable, miserable! Even Wei Chigong, who was accustomed to seeing dead people, turned pale at this time! The teeth are also a little uncontrollable.
Dead people are not terrible, he has seen them die no matter how miserable they are, but it is a little unacceptable to be eaten alive by fish, watching those natives floating in the water being torn off their arms, thighs and even heads alive by sharks, as a landlubber, the old lieutenant Chi is very worried about his old life.
"Bang Bang ......" Gunfire suddenly rang out from the ten steel battleships, killing the natives who were still struggling in the water one by one.
This is Qin Qiong's order, he really can't accept the scene of people being eaten alive by sharks, even if they can't even understand the natives, so he let the forbidden army bullets that followed Li Er out to sea end the lives of those natives, so that they can die happily.
……
Half a day later, everything was calm, the floating corpses on the sea were eaten by sharks, and the blue water reflected the sparkling waves in the sunset, and there was no sign that there had been a completely disproportionate battle here at noon.
Nearly 20 small boats were released into the sea, and 200 heavily armed Janissaries began to land as the vanguard to clear the island's obstacles.
The great Emperor was to stay on board for another night, and not to go ashore until the early to-morrow morning when the vanguard had cleared a safe area.
This is the rule, even if Li Er is anxious, it is useless.
After the troops landed on the island, the sky had completely darkened, and the bushes on the island were like a beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for the arrival of its prey.
However, after landing on the island, the team of 200 people did not rush into the jungle, but camped on the seashore, set up tents, and surrounded a clean beach.
Although the weapons of the natives are rudimentary, they are natural hunters in the jungle, and if a team of 200 people in the dark rushes into the jungle, it is estimated that they will not even know how they died, which is the conclusion reached by the forbidden army through the death of nearly 100 people in the past three months.
However, not being able to attack does not mean that they cannot move, at least at the edge of the jungle, they are still safe, and they can do some limited activities here, such as cutting down some trees or building some simple fortifications.
And in the depths of the forest, some of the natives who had attacked the warships during the day and were lucky enough not to be attacked were discussing how to deal with this army that would make them unstoppable.
"Patriarch, they should be the army of the Tang Dynasty, we are not their opponents at all, if we can, we had better surrender, their activities at sea are becoming more and more frequent now, if they don't surrender and submit, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to survive in this sea area in the future."
The Prophet, one of the most cultured people on the island, in some cases, can even have more power than the patriarch, so when he makes a proposal, even the patriarch has to think about it.
"Prophet, I don't agree with you, we have lived on the island for generations, there is no need to hug the thighs of the Tang people, and our warriors are not afraid of death, if they dare to come, we will definitely let them know that we are powerful." The son of the patriarch, the legendary young patriarch, frowned and seemed dissatisfied with the prophet's advice.
"Young patriarch, I know very well what you think, but you also saw what happened during the day, more than a hundred people rushed up, and as a result, they were almost wiped out without even touching Datang's boat, this is no longer a problem that can be solved without fear of death, if we really anger them, it is very likely that we will be in danger of extermination."
"What are you afraid of, even if it is to exterminate the clan, it is happier than being oppressed by them, and the purpose of their coming here should be for the fairy grass, do you think even if we surrender, if they find the fairy grass, they will let us go?" The young patriarch still disagreed with the prophet's statement, even though he had already learned the power of the Tang Dynasty ordnance during the day.
