Chapter 7 Landing on the Island

In the afternoon, after three horns sounded on the majestic and magnificent, sea beast-like treasure ship led by the ship, the sailors and soldiers on the other sixty-two large ships finally loosened the thick hemp rope in their hands together. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The other end of the hemp rope is connected to the small boats, and the reason why the soldiers did this is to lower the small boats on the big ships from the deck to the sea for the purpose of landing on the island.

In fact, for this shallow sea area with many reefs similar to the one ahead, Zheng He had already expected it in his heart. Therefore, after ordering the craftsmen to build these sixty-three large ships, he ordered them to build more than one hundred and fifty small ships, which were placed on the deck of each large ship.

These small boats, which are usually placed in the empty space of the deck, can be used for escape and can also be used to deal with the sea area in front of them.

So, just a quarter of an hour later. When the sailors and soldiers of each ship had lowered all about a hundred small boats to the surface, two loud and long trumpets came from the treasure ship.

This is to convey the meaning of boarding and departing.

However, Shi Wuwei was a little puzzled as to why Lord Zheng blew the horn in front of this isolated island with great fanfare. "As the saying goes, it is unprepared to attack it. But why did Lord Zheng seem to be deliberately letting the other party know that our army was going to attack the island? ”。

But after thinking about it to no avail, he simply let go of this doubt.

"Uncle Shi, you have to be careful on this trip, don't fall for the tricks of some villains, the old man in charge of the house also ordered me to take you to Minshan to ask for some martial arts." Su Wushi's words were very loud, and as he spoke, he glanced at the group of cultivators who were also preparing to board the ship.

Obviously, he was warning the other party, in the name of Taoism, to warn these people with bad thoughts.

And for Su Wushi's kindness, Shi Wuwei was naturally moved, after all, in this deceitful rivers and lakes, it is really not easy to find such people.

"One by one, beware of this trip". At this time, Zhou Ruonan was also worried and reluctant about Mu Yiyi's departure. After all, for most of the year, she has been with this cute and sensible little girl, and she has also treated Mu Yiyi as a younger sister. Therefore, at this moment, her words are also serious.

"Sister Ruonan, don't worry, we'll be fine." Mu Yiyi smiled, as if he didn't care about anything.

But who can know what is really going on in her heart.

…… .

Looking at Su Wushi, the figure of the little monk and the others standing next to the handrail on the deck, after gradually moving away, Shi Wuwei and the others turned around and faced the gradually enlarged island in front of them.

The shape of the island, or the coastline of the island, is actually like a crescent. The two sides protrude and the middle is retracted. But the coastline is not long, and at most more than 20 ships can dock side by side.

Therefore, the commander of this trip had no choice but to arrange the fleet into a column in five rows and twenty columns, and leaned towards the shore.

And when the white boat on the sea approached this isolated island.

A black ship that is not big, but it is definitely not small, appeared in front of everyone's eyes so suddenly.

"There are people on the island!!". Shi Wuwei also secretly said to himself in his heart.

Since a ship was docked, and after a search, there was no one on board. So, that can only mean that the people on board should still be on the island.

As for whether the people on this ship retreated to the island or stayed on the island, it was necessary to board the island to find out.

In fact, after all, the Ming army has surrounded the first half of the island. At this moment, even if the so-called pirates on the island want to escape by boat, it is impossible to break through our fleet. Therefore, defending the island can only be their only choice.

According to the coach's judgment, such a ship can accommodate more than 180 people at most. Therefore, this means that there are likely to be more than 100 enemies on the island.

"Everyone obeyed the order, docked the ship along the shore, and immediately disembarked."

The person who shouted, named Chang Sheng, had dark skin and a strong body, and was the main general of the attack on the island.

And after his life order, Shi Wuwei and the others, including the soldiers, began to disembark.

… .

A moment later, this neat line of more than 900 people was already on the beach on the shore, and there was no open space to speak of. And directly in front of this beach was the jungle covered with tall vegetation that they saw from a distance, which was the purpose of their trip.

In fact, this isolated island is actually not very high. It is estimated that the highest point of the island is only 20 feet above the sea, and at best it is a small hill in the sea. But the only thing on this island, and the most troublesome for the Ming army, is the jungle ahead.

Not only because our army is unfamiliar with the terrain deep in this jungle, but also because the enemy is in the dark, but our army is in the light. Therefore, such a forcible and abrupt attack on the island actually hides a certain danger.

? "According to the previous deployment, a team of 100 people will search the mountains separately, and if the enemy is found, immediately release the arrows and wait for support." After the master general finished speaking, he turned around, looked at the more than thirty cultivators, and said in a deep voice, "Before this trip, General Zheng has made it clear that all the heroes of the rivers and lakes can land on the island on their own without any military orders. However, if there is a war at that time, please be able to rescue the soldiers of our army."

"Don't worry, general, it's all our own people, and we will naturally contribute."

"Yes, General, let's search quickly, after all, it's so loud, I'm afraid these thieves will flee."

And looking at these people in the rivers and lakes, it is rare to be able to share the same hatred with the imperial court, and this general also has a trace of pride, so he gave an order to the soldiers, "Go!" ”。

After the order was given, the officers and men of our army, who had originally come to stand like pines, entered the jungle in front of them in one order.

But at this moment, Shi Wuwei was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stood where he was, and began to look around at the group of cultivators who were also from the Thousand Mountains Crossing.

& amp ; quot ; One, two, three.... Seven, eight? ”。 As far as his eyes could see, he had already found seven or eight pairs of eyes with evasive intent or unkindness.

When these seven or eight people were glanced at by Shi Wuwei, they didn't stay longer, but followed the troops in front of them into this jungle.

Seeing these people in the same boat in front of him gradually disappear into the jungle in front of him, Shi Wuwei's eyes, which were no longer immature, never moved. Still staring into the distance, no one knows what he's thinking....

However, just as the crowd dispersed, a numb voice pulled his thoughts back in an instant.

"Shi Gongzi, can the little girl go with the two of you?"

For this sudden call, Shi Wuwei had no choice but to look at the junior sister beside him helplessly....... Then he turned around and smiled "Of course".

He knew who the woman was, but he didn't know why she had landed on the island. But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about these things, because he had to act as soon as possible.

"Shi Gongzi, this is my nephew, Qian Yi."

"Qian Yi, I've seen Brother Wuwei, I've seen Miss Mu." The young man is lofty, heroic, and has an indescribable heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

And based on this appearance alone, this young man named Qian Yi is already very good.
