With the approach of the naval warships of the Jieyi Army, the defensive advantage of the defenders of Xishan Island suddenly ceased to exist. Even the catapults on top of the ships are small and inaccurate, but after all, the stone projectiles thrown by the catapults pose a great threat to the wooden walls built by the defenders.

Even the catapult on the warship of the Sailing Army was inevitably much worse than the quasi-head, and occasionally stone bullets smashed into the front or rear of the wooden wall, and it did not have much effect. However, there are still many stone bullets that directly concentrate on the wooden wall, which brings great damage to the wooden wall. In addition, the Sailor Ships of the Jieyi Army are also adjusting their direction at any time in order to make the target of the stone bullet more accurate. Soon, the wooden wall that had been built under the hard work of Monsan began to crumble and collapse under the fierce bombardment of the stone bullets of the Jieyi Army.

In addition, the crossbow machines on the ships of the Sailors of the Jieyi Army were also firing non-stop, they were much more convenient than catapults, and the dense crossbow arrows were fired at the wooden wall, and these crossbow arrows could directly pass through the wooden wall and hit the defenders above or behind the wooden wall. And the defending non-commissioned officers can only endure the double blow of stone bullets and crossbow arrows on the ships of the Sailors of the Jieyi Army.

These bolts either landed on top of the wooden wall, flew through them, or fell after hitting the wooden wall. From a distance, the surface of the southern section of the entire wooden wall was full of crossbow arrows, like a hedgehog covered in scars, but it never fell.

However, Monsan also forced his soldiers to defend to the death, especially those small groups of water bandits who were coerced by him, and even became a member of the death squad, they fought back very bravely, while dodging the attack of the Jieyi Army's sailors, they also began to fight back with a few bed crossbows on the wooden wall. The target of their counterattack was naturally the sailors of the Jieyi Army who had retreated a little distance but were still waiting for the opportunity in front of the wooden wall.

However, despite this, although the defenders and non-commissioned officers resisted bravely, it was certain that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable. In particular, the more troops the Jie Yi army landed, the greater the pressure on the defenders.

Chirp tweet! The frantic crossbow bolts seemed to sweep away all the defenders who were still resisting, and on top of the wooden walls, Monsanto also placed bed crossbows and a few catapults. However, it is a pity that because of this weapon of their own, they have become the primary target of the Jieyi Army's sailors. The catapult and bed crossbow teams on the docks had long regarded them as their primary targets. Therefore, the catapults and bed crossbows of these defenders were suppressed and attacked at the beginning by the bed crossbows and catapults of the sailors of the Jieyi Army.

Needless to say, the equipment of the sailors of the Jieyi Army was not as much as that of Xishan Island, so the few catapults and bed crossbows that were the only few were destroyed by the Jieyi Army at the beginning.

The "Boom ......", located in the southern wooden wall, finally collapsed a large area under the bombardment of catapults above the warship. In addition to the north, there was also a gap in the defensive line of Xishan Island in the south.

......As soon as the sailors and soldiers of the Jieyi Army who were waiting under the wooden wall saw this, they immediately began to rush towards the gap.

"Archer...... Where are they all dead! Suppress them for me! The bed crossbow also fell for me...... Fast! Don't let the soldiers of the righteous army rush in! The officer on Xishan Island, near the gap, roared bitterly. He understood that if the Jieyi soldiers on the opposite side rushed in, the entire defense system would be in danger, and it would even be unable to play its due role.

This time, the sailors of the Jieyi Army did not rush to charge, although there was a gap in the wooden wall opposite, but on the wooden walls on both sides, there were still several bed crossbows suppressing them. In addition, behind the wooden wall, the defenders also had a considerable number of soldiers who moved here after the Jieyi warships used this place as a breakthrough.

The sailors of the Jieyi Army used very strong iron shields as cover, and slowly approached in the direction of the gap. Fortunately, the defenders don't have many bed crossbows here, otherwise, it would not be easy to rush in. But there are still some soldiers who were shot by the opponent's crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows hit the shield ground, and many shields were torn apart in this way, and the people behind the shields naturally suffered a lot of casualties. In addition, the archers of the defending army also took this opportunity to start a counterattack against the sailors of the Jieyi army. However, the casualties of the archers against the sailors of the Jieyi Army were not large, except for some of them who were wounded their hands and feet, so they had to retreat to the rear under the cover of other soldiers.

"Speed up! Advance! Come on! After approaching the gap, the officer of the Jieyi Army immediately gave an order.

"Archer team, catch up immediately, and suppress the opponent's counterattack for me!" After seeing with clairvoyance on the warship that his soldiers had entered the gap and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders, he immediately gave an order.

Hundreds of archers of the Jieyi Army's sailors who had already prepared immediately hurriedly followed their own soldiers who had broken through the gap and were engaged in close combat, and began to shoot at the defenders.

"Withdraw!" After seeing in the rear that the Jieyi Army's naval division had opened a gap from the south and was constantly entering, Monsan knew that it was impossible to intercept the Jieyi Army's attack here. It won't be long before the rescue of the Jieyi Army sailors will continue to enter the rear of the wooden wall and completely pull out the defense here. At this moment, Monsan has the intention of retreating.

"General, what about the soldiers here? And what about the family members of the private soldiers of the Liu family and the He family? The little colonel who was next to Mengshan also said with a solemn face.

Monsan said coldly: "Them? Can we take care of them now? Without them, we would not have been able to evacuate in time. In addition, the young Zhuang people of these families can also comfort their private soldiers here. If they all leave, I'm afraid that this place will collapse immediately. The rest of the soldiers, except for a small number of our private soldiers, the rest are either the Qi soldiers of Xishan Island or those water bandits who were recruited by us. We don't care about their lives and deaths. Here, there are also the children of my Meng family, they all have to sacrifice for the whole at this moment, not to mention these others! ”

"Now, the situation here is very dangerous, and it can be said that the loss of this place has become a foregone conclusion, but it is only a matter of time. Immediately let the dead soldier of the family who is similar to me come, let him exchange identities with me, and hold on here for a while longer, so as to consume the strength of the sailor of the Jieyi Army. ”

Monsan withdrew, and he withdrew very simply, and he let a soldier who was somewhat similar in figure and appearance to him change into his armor, which was conducive to the rear point general's platform, and it seemed that he was still directing the battle. But in fact, he had already quietly left with a few guards.

However, the defenders on the battlefield did not notice that their main general had changed at this moment, and of course, they did not have time to pay attention to this. The sailors of the Jieyi Army first entered from the southern gap, and then, the water bandits captured by the Feng Shui division of the Jieyi Army entered from the northern gap with their desire for the wealth of Xishan Island. In a matter of moments, the Jieyi army broke through from both sides in the south, making the first line of defense on Xishan Island completely fail.

When the children of the powerful He family on Xishan Island reported to Meng Shan and asked for instructions on how to deal with it, they finally found that the main general behind them, Meng Shan, had already evacuated.

This disciple of the He family was immediately shocked, and in a stunned moment, he leaked the news. Needless to say, the result was soon known to the sons and daughters of the defenders, and they immediately fled. Their evacuation has had serious consequences. These powerful children, as well as two powerful principals, they are all the generals of these defenders here. You must know that the defenders here, except for some of the soldiers of Xishan Island, the rest are the private soldiers of the powerful families on Xishan Island and some water bandits.

Now that these powerful children have run away, the consequence is naturally that the commander of their family's private soldiers has run away. Even with it, the whole battlefield knows the news. Next, the family soldiers also began to scatter and flee. As for those small bandits, at this moment they have understood that they have been abandoned by Monsanto and have been used.

Therefore, the defenders of the first line of defense of this pier either fled or lost their fighting spirit. And the team of the sailors of the Jieyi Army naturally took advantage of the situation to attack, and at the same time brought out the banner of surrender and not killing. Especially for those water bandits who joined the defense of Xishan Island, they were promised that they would treat their families well and make them surrender. As for the Haoqiang children in the defenders who have not yet had time to escape, their result is naturally the complete slaughter of the sailors of the Jieyi Army.

If the Jieyi Army wants to be in charge here, it will naturally not leave those heroes on the island. In addition, these powerful family businesses will also be the source of money for the Jieyi Army to build Xishan Island.

By the time Qin Shouyi and Li Qingping went to the island, there were no enemies left on the first line of defense on Xishan Island. On the contrary, because of the evacuation of Mengshan and the sons of various heroes, a lot of grain and grass materials left here have become trophies of the sailors of the Jieyi Army. Originally, Meng Shan and the others still relied on being able to hold on here for a period of time, so they still stored a lot of money, food and materials here. But now, these things all belong to the Jieyi Army Water Division.

"Okay, as long as you win here, it will no longer be a problem to take Xishan Island!" After arriving at the island, Li Qingping couldn't help but laugh and said. For them, the landing war is the most problematic. As long as they wait for the shore, the Jieyi Army will be able to gain a foothold on Xishan Island and launch an attack on the most central area of Xishan Island. Although they are all from the Sailors of the Jieyi Army, they have now expanded to nearly 15,000 sailors, and in addition to the simple sailors, there are also many soldiers who can fight both on water and land. With the current strength and strength of the Jieyi Army, Li Qingping did not have much to worry about taking down the powerful private soldiers of thousands of people on Xishan Island.

"In addition to the most central small towns, Xishan Island is surrounded by more than a dozen villages, large and small. General Hu, the first town was an assist, and the soldiers were full of energy. Now, I will give you a task, and the soldiers of your first town water division will immediately move around and take control of these villages. The guards of Xishan Island, who wanted to come to this moment, did not have the energy to pay attention to them. After Li Qingping went to the island, he took the lead in arranging the next action.

Hu Le said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the governor will arrange this in the end, and he will definitely control these villages in the shortest possible time." ”

"Not only that, but also to understand the situation of these villages, we will move all the people from the surrounding places and the families of the bandits in the surrounding waters to this place in the future, where can these people settle down, you must also find out in advance."

Night, quiet, starlit, and gentle sea breeze.

Xishan Town was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and all the city gates were full of private soldiers of the Meng family and various powerful private soldiers. Outside the town, a large number of guard posts headed straight to the southeast. Similarly, a large number of scouts who had turned back from the southeast hurried into the city on fast horses. The sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the town, and at the same time sent bad news one after another.

The news of Monsan's defeat and retreat has naturally been received in the town. As for Monsan's abandonment of other Haoqiang's children, these Haoqiang didn't say much. At this moment, even if they have a lot of dissatisfaction, they can only suppress it in their hearts. Besides, the evacuation of Monshan, along with some of the children of the Meng family, was also abandoned in the port land in the southeast.

Knowing that the southeast defense line was broken by the Jieyi Army's water division in just one hour, the various heroes in the town suddenly lost their original desire to defend the city, wait for reinforcements, and even defeat the Jieyi Army's water division. The strength of the Jieyi Army's water division also made them understand that the power of a mere Xishan Island was not enough to confront the Jieyi Army's water division. They want to use the powerful power of an island to confront the sailors of a prince, which is obviously too naïve.

However, now that they have no way to retreat, the sailors of the Jieyi Army are approaching here, and they have even entered the island, and the goal is naturally to occupy Xishan Island and make Xishan Island the jurisdiction of the Jieyi Army. And these heroes and strongmen are naturally the targets that the sailors of the Jieyi Army want to eliminate. The Jieyi Army controls the place, but like the Zhao Army, it will never leave behind the existence of these powerful people who control the place. In addition, the money and food in their family is also the foundation for the Jieyi Army sailors to occupy and develop here.

In the southeast defense line of Xishan Island, less than 100 people finally escaped the pursuit of the Jieyi Army and returned, and most of them were Haoqiang's children. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that they were the first to run away. But even then, only 12 out of 10 of them escaped. These powerful sons are also the primary targets of the Jieyi Army.

At this moment, the news brought by these scouts made the faces of all the heroes gathered in the Meng family very ugly.

"Six villages, including Xishui Village and Baihe Village in the south, were all taken over by the Jieyi Army, and all the small landlords in the village were exterminated by the Jieyi Army, and the fields related to the heroes in the city were also confiscated by the Jieyi Army, and the families they arranged in the village were also executed by the Jieyi Army!"

"Lijia Village, Shili Town, and Shishan Village in the southwest are also under the control of the Jieyi Army, and the fields belonging to the Meng family in the village were confiscated by the Jieyi Army, and a small iron mine where it was also taken over by the Jieyi Army. The small manor where the Meng family is was also broken by the Jieyi Army, among which the Meng family's private soldiers were all killed! ”

"West ......"

In the inner hall of the Meng family, the scouts kept transmitting information from all over the world, shaking everyone present. Their fields, estates, and shops for the bandits in the surrounding villages are now in the hands of the Rebels.

The entire Xishan Town, in all directions, has now become the jurisdiction of the Jieyi Army. It can be said that now Xishan Town has become a lonely city. In addition to this town, the surrounding villages, from far and near, were taken over little by little by the Jieyi army.

Meng Shan's face was very gloomy at the moment, and he never said a word, and after the scouts who came and went reported the relevant situation, he immediately retreated. Monsan's defeat during the day finally made him understand the gap between him and the sailors of the Jieyi Army, and he also understood who they were hostile to, and that was the power of the princes of one side.

"My lord, go on, I'm afraid that the righteous army will surround this place from all directions. What do we do now? Do you want to divide your troops to a nearby village and lead people to fight back? These righteous army actions were actually carried out at the same time, and the number of troops was not very large. If we fight back, we can get a good result. Someone suggested.

"No! The Jie Yi army is operating in all directions at the same time, however, who dares to guarantee that they do not have mobile forces? Where are their workhorses? Perhaps, the Jieyi army is waiting for us to divide our troops, if we divide our troops and are besieged by the Jieyi army, we are afraid of our men and horses, and we will not be able to hold out for long. Don't forget, there are almost 20,000 troops in the rebel army here, and we have 4,000 men in the city at most. Someone immediately retorted.

Meng Shan rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I can't attack, now I can only defend the city!" Knowing that this was the case, he should have supported Yan Mingfeng to order the Quartet Water Bandits to completely defeat the Jieyi Army's water division. "Now Monsan, it can be said that I regret it very much.

"Four thousand men and horses against nearly twenty thousand rebels? Even if they stayed behind to guard the warships and the lair, they would have more than 10,000 troops at their disposal. In addition, their current actions are completely to treat this Xishan Island as an old nest. ”

"Monsan, can we negotiate with the Jieyi Army, we are willing to surrender to the Jieyi Army and give up control of this Xishan Island in exchange for the Jieyi Army attacking us? They want it, and we give it to them. After all, as long as the family is still around, nothing else is unacceptable. One suggested in a deep voice.

Monsan smiled bitterly: "Surrender to the other party? Yes, as long as you are willing to hand over all your wealth, private soldiers, and land, the rebels will definitely let you go. The rebels want to occupy this place in order to establish this place as their territory. Moreover, they want to build this place as a station for their sailors. This requires a lot of money, materials and manpower, and where does this money, materials and manpower come from? None other than us! ”
