Chapter Twenty-Nine: Coming and Not Being Rude
"I accidentally fell." Mike said weakly.
"How did you end up in a bag?" Lu Cheng actually knew very well what was going on, and couldn't help but tease.
"Well, I don't know, I just accidentally fell like this." Mike immediately craned his neck when he saw Red Flame's eyes.
"Okay, let's talk about the reconnaissance situation." Lu Cheng didn't pursue it anymore, after all, Mike teased Chiyan first, and he should be taught a lesson, and if he can't get out of bed without being beaten, it's already Chiyan's subordinates who show mercy. Besides, you kid may be very happy to be bullied by a beautiful woman, but maybe it's possible?
Mike straightened his emotions, pointed to the simple sand table on the table, and said: "The bandits' level 5 camp is in the southeast of the peninsula, 2 kilometers away from the coast, the camp is surrounded by an open area, and the bandits have also built a lot of guard towers around the camp, so it is difficult to raid without being detected. ”
"More than half of the strength of the bandit camp has been transferred, but all the robbers who have returned are concentrated in this camp, so now the strength of the bandit camp is more than the strength of the heyday, and the strength is expected to be more than 1,300 people, of course, because of the previous battle, more than half of the robbers who fled back were wounded, so the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." Mike continued, "The bandit camp is basically circular, about 500 meters in diameter, there are 4 entrances and exits, the fence is wooden, the height is more than 5 meters, it is not very conducive to climbing, you should prepare more ladders to climb the wall. ”
Lu Cheng nodded, he also got some news about the situation of the bandit camp one after another, it should be said that the strength of the bandit camp is still relatively strong, of course, compared with the militia preparing steel equipment, it is still a big difference, the exchange ratio between the militia and the robbers in the previous offensive and defensive battles has reached 1:7, considering the geographical advantage of the robbers, even if it is a ratio of 1:4, the price of paying 300 people can be bearable.
"I decided to send 700 militiamen and seventy percent of the adventurers to attack the bandit camp." Lu Cheng's finger tapped on the table, "Red Flame, Gru, Selina and Annie (newly spawned high-level adventurers) will attack with me, Mike and Arthur will stay in the territory, and the candidates for each team will be chosen by themselves." ”
Hearing Lu Cheng's arrangement, Mike was obviously relieved, it was really thankful that he didn't put him and Chiyan in a group, Mike was grateful in his heart, it was better for the lord to not push him into the fire pit, otherwise he would definitely not have a good life.
"Let my elite troops participate, and you have to train these lazy guys well." Chiyan said.
"Rest assured, your troops are among the 700 men who attacked." Lu Cheng said with a smile, good steel should be used on the blade, this kind of tough battle can not be done without sharp knives, the adventurers and the elite troops of Chiyan are the key to this battle, how can they not be sent.
"Lord, did you just say that you were going to go on the expedition in person?" Jona asked.
"Yes, because of the cipher tube thing, I have to go in person, and I feel that if I don't go, Otis will most likely choose to run away." Lu Cheng said.
"Where can he go, can he swim across the sea?" Anne, a new female adventurer, asked, an advanced adventurer who was good at using swords.
"Anne, you may not know that these robbers of Otis are related to the Pirate King of the North, and according to him, the Pirate King is determined to obtain the cipher holder, so he has to guard against it." Serena, who was sitting next to Anne, explained.
"Oh, I see."
"That's it, everyone is ready to get ready, and board the ship in five hours." Lu Cheng stood up and said.
The two newly-built primary transport ships in the dockyard were completed and launched four hours later, with a total of nearly 800 troops, each ship needed to carry nearly 200 people, and it was still relatively difficult to transport 200 people on a ship with a length of only 20 meters, and it was also necessary to prepare supplies and siege equipment.
Lu Cheng and Chiyan were each in charge of the northern and southern troops, Lu Cheng was in charge of the northern fleet transporting 60 adventurers and 320 militiamen, and Chiyan's fleet was transporting 380 people, including her elite troops, because the bandit camp was in the southeast of the peninsula, and the fleet from the north would take more time to reach the assembly point, so Lu Cheng set off half an hour earlier after barely loading all the troops.
After leaving the dock, Lu Cheng stood next to the bridge and watched the captain operate the rudder to constantly adjust the course and move along the coastline. At present, there are no compasses and telescopes on the ship, so they can only move along the coastline, and if they accidentally go deep into the ocean and cannot see the land, they are very likely to lose their way, which is not a situation that Lu Cheng wants to see, so the ship has been moving slowly less than 1 kilometer from the coastline.
It was already night, the sun had already set, but the visibility on the sea was still good under the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and after a few hours of driving, the fleet gradually approached its destination.
"My lord, there is a crescent-shaped bay not far ahead, and we landed in the bay last time." Selina pointed ahead and said, "There is a level 3 bandit camp next to the bay, which was destroyed by us and used as a temporary material storage place. ”
Lu Cheng nodded, these things have been reported in detail by Mike, this crescent-shaped bay has a large area, and the water is relatively deep, which is very suitable for making a port, if the territory is developed here in the later stage, you can consider making a deep-water port.
"See Red Flame's fleet?" Lu Cheng asked the captain.
"Lord Lord, the lookout is searching on the sea, and has not found Lord Chiyan's fleet yet, and according to the time, it should be almost there." The captain replied.
"Park the boat at the entrance to the bay and wait for the Red Flame to arrive and enter together." Lu Cheng commanded.
Under the command of the captain and with the active cooperation of the crew, the two transport ships stopped at the entrance of the harbor after retracting their sails, and slowly drifted on the sparkling sea.
After half an hour, I finally saw two other transport ships on the sea. After the 4 ships converged, they lined up in a line and slowly sailed into Crescent Bay, under the guidance of Selina, they found a piece of beach where they landed last time, the draft of the transport ship was not deep, and the 4 ships slowly turned around and landed on the side.
The difference between the height of the side of the ship and the shore was not large, and hundreds of militiamen quickly jumped off the ship to assemble, and all kinds of supplies were quickly unloaded.
Under the leadership of Selina, the mighty team quickly found the level 3 bandit camp that was used as a storage place for supplies last time, and the bandit camp that was completely eliminated will not be restored in a short period of time, so many players will not completely wipe out the low-level bandit camp, but leave a little for the bandit to recover, and then continue to brush, although there will be some losses in the loot, but it is better in the long run.
The level 5 bandit camp is 2 kilometers to the west, and it is already late at night, and with the current level of technology, it is still not feasible to fight at night, so after settling the troops, rest on the spot and wait for the next day.
In the early morning of the next day, the mighty troops soon approached the bandit camp, Lu Cheng stood up close and observed, the scale of the level 5 bandit camp was very large, different from the low-level bandit camp, the wooden wall of the level 5 camp was relatively wide, and hundreds of robbers were standing on the wall nervously looking at the militia who surrounded them.
"Bastard!" Otis kicked over the stool, and not long after he ran back, Lu Cheng's troops followed, and the guards along the road had no effect at all, and they didn't get information until the militia demolished dozens of guard towers all the way.
"Chief, the enemy may have landed from the sea, so the vigilance along the road did not work." Said a small bandit leader.
"Chief, someone has seen a sneaky boat at sea before, most likely an enemy transport." Another small leader said.
"What's the use of talking about this now, the enemy has already surrounded us, why did you go earlier!" Otis angrily cut a piece of furniture into pieces, because he was seriously injured in the leg when he jumped the city wall, Otis, who was not very neat in walking, rushed on the road for more than a day, and as a result, he had just slept comfortably in the camp for a night, and the next morning he was told that he was surrounded by Lu Cheng's troops.
The little bosses all shrunk their necks, they all learned the violent temper of Otis, and they wanted to kill people at every turn, and they didn't dare to answer casually.
"What now, you say?" Otis sat down in his chair in a huff, but his legs were exhausted after standing for a while, and it would take many days for his leg injury to heal.
"Chief, our forces are superior, as long as we hold on, we can hold back the other party." One of the little leaders with a thief's eyebrows and a rat's face said flatteringly.
", ten people couldn't beat each other before, and they still have an advantage?" Otis glared.
The small leaders present all looked at each other in embarrassment, and many of the small leaders were promoted because their bosses hung up, and they knew very well the terrifying strength of their opponents.
"Chief, why don't we send someone to inform the Pirate King and ask him to send troops to destroy the enemy?" Said one of the cronies standing next to Otis.
Otis waved his hand: "Don't think about it, the Pirate King has been entangled by another force recently, and he won't have the strength to help us out of the siege in a short time." ”
The cronies could only shut up stupidly.
After a moment of silence.
"Chief, why don't we send someone to meet those kobolds in the west?" A small leader in the corner weakly suggested.
"! This group of kobolds is not a good thing at all, and they sent people to attack our stronghold last time! Another minor leader immediately retorted.
"It's like, those dogs can't be trusted, don't forget we had a big fight with them last year."
"That's right, those shameless guys like to hide underground and repeatedly sneak up on our camp, this revenge can't be forgotten!"
