Modern armies revolve around muskets and artillery, and the threat is further strengthened by highly mobile cavalry, a concept that is quite simplistic without considering tactical and strategic issues.

In fact, on the earth, the medieval troops at the end of the feudal era were already full of muskets and artillery, including heavily armed knights, according to the state of war, they were more fierce than the modern troops, and even the modern army was more like a group of performance artists than them.

However, the modern military has departed from the simple concept of warfare, and has completely integrated the people with war, like a high-speed machine, and is no longer the flesh and blood of human beings.

This is the case with the current Haijiao Town, where preparations have begun intensively, pre-war exploration and mobilization have been handed down to the various militias, and the three provincial cavalry, which seem to be patrolling the improvised road on the south bank of the Yuqiao River, have also reduced their patrol batches and are on standby.

Although the operation was dominated by the navy and army, it required light Canadian warships and Barbary pirates as the main force, and cavalry, which could only be used on land, was of little use.

These provincial cavalry are currently only passing orders in Cape Town and the silver mines, because the portals in the tunnels of the mines also seem to feel the impending war, and they have lost the traces of those terrifying undead in the past two days, which indirectly reduces the pressure of Levi's war.

Moreover, as long as the Great Swamp can be conquered, the power of Cape Town can be extended to the inland hinterland of the Great Silver Pan Island, and the rich granary of Samar City can be directly connected, it is almost invincible.

And it also tightly choked the neck of Gray Mist City, plus twenty sloops could block the route outside the port, Levi could say that he had shrouded this large silver island in his own hands, and even had the strategic initiative, even if the war started, it must be decided by him.

Therefore, by taking out the Ketuff River thieves and taking the Swamp into his own hands, and then threatening the Ketuv River and coercing Samar City and Grey Mist City, Levi is already invincible.

As long as Li Wei can safely digest his strength and completely turn the east coast into the sphere of influence of Haijiao Town, the entire Dayinpan Island will be the object of his next digestion, because one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, this simple truth, Li Wei is still quite clear.

Even if he wants to keep peace with those nobles in Gray Mist City, then the other party must have this mind, otherwise relying on the group of things in Gray Mist City that eat people and don't spit out bones, it will only turn Levi's forbearance into a strength accumulation before the next table lifting, which is an irreconcilable dark game of mutual suspicion.

Levi, who has the strength to control the Great Silver Pan Island, actually doesn't believe that those nobles will really give up and completely give him the East Coast, which will be extremely valuable in the future.

This is impossible, nor realistic, if Levi has the slightest decline, then the smiling nobles will follow, a kind of secret temptation, and then buzz like flies that smell the smell, and then attract those more ferocious vultures, waiting for the revelry after Levi's defeat.

However, the current Levi will not fall, and there is no sign of that kind of decline.

The two teams of Barbary pirates, who had been guarding the captives, had been taken over by two groups of town militiamen armed with flintlock pistols, and they quickly came to the front of Levi with machetes on their shoulders, and their neat appearance was also full of suppressed tyranny.

They were regularized pirates, and the rulers of the Barbary countries also relied on piracy to increase the revenue of the treasury, and also relied on this group of pirates to act as the absolute overlord of the Eastern Mediterranean, relying on this group of ferocious, tyrannical, and even crazy Barbary pirates.

At present, these two teams of pirates, the scale of 240 people can already form an army on their own, at least relying on them, thousands of captives are still lying miserably in the simple temporary camp, even if there are occasional captives who resist angrily because they can't survive, with their character, they directly pull out their knives and cut them over, and as their heads fall to the ground and roll a few times, the prisoners around them have also calmed down, and continue to become the seemingly safe and honest, honest slaves.

It's their way, simple, effective, and efficient.

Now that they know that they are about to be the main force, preparing to attack the swamp where the water thieves are entrenched, this group of Barbary pirates also has a coveted desire on their faces, they are quite looking forward to war, peace is just a boring life that has no meaning to them!

Looking at the excited appearance of the two teams of Barbary pirates in front of him, Levi's face was also a little relieved, and he could at least rest assured about the combat effectiveness of these pirates in close combat.

However, this is not enough, the strength of this attack on the swamp cannot be only these two teams, as Levi quickly selected in his mind, the energy value dropped instantly, and a row of golden armor cards had already appeared in the corner of his retina, waiting for Levi's selection.

Three new teams of Barbary pirates, two new teams of 24-pounder light cannons, and fourteen new light gales!

This is the type of troops that Levi chose to recruit, and it is also the basis for his attack on the Swamp this time, plus the previous two teams of Barbary pirates and six light Gared warships, they have already formed this Swamp's offensive force!

Moreover, in order to prevent the enemy from having more long-range troops, Levi also dispatched a group of town militia and used their flintlock pistols as a vacuum stage after his artillery was fired to replenish his firepower. 【】

The most important thing is still those light Canadian warships.

These small warships are extremely flexible warships in rivers and swamps, and after Levi's latest recruitment of fourteen, the total number has reached twenty, and a full load of more than 700 people and eight heavy artillery pieces can completely run rampant in the swamp area, just like the main force of the group of water thieves at the beginning.

Twenty light galleon ships, after all, there were 7-pounder guns as a fire supplement, although the power was smaller, but they could not support many ships, so the number of guns was also large.

Now the whole sixty 7-pounder cannons, not to mention ordinary water thieves, even pirates have the power to fight!

With only the old, weak, sick and disabled Ketufu River thieves left, and most of the elite have been wiped out, in the face of Levi's sudden attack, it is estimated that it is extremely lucky to be able to barely defend it.

It is a difficult thing to directly bury all this troops in the swamp like Levi, because now Levi already knows that the reason why the river patrol team that attacked the swamp was destroyed was completely caused by corruption from top to bottom, as well as the traitor Neiying, who was rotten to the root, and delivered key intelligence!

Now Cape Town is like a solid bucket, everyone is united, everything is ready, and Levi of the Swamp is already ready to win!

The two teams of Barbary pirates followed him and Wilmot quickly towards the dock on the bank of the Fishbridge River, where the original six light Galie warships had already docked, all of them had been prepared, and they would start to act directly today, what they wanted was suddenness, so that the group of Ketuf River thieves could not be predicted at all.

The many armor cards in his mind had turned into countless golden pink lights with Levi's thoughts, which floated lightly on the surface of the river, and finally formed fourteen light Canadian warships.

Side by side with the previous six light Galie warships, but the golden pink light did not stop, but continued to manifest on the deck of this warship, and with the dense figures appearing on these twenty warships, the unruly appearance of the Barbary pirates has also been realized.

With the addition of the two Barbary pirates behind Levi on the shore, he now had five teams of 600 pirates, plus 120 town militiamen, and two teams of 24-pounder light cannons, 36 men and 8 guns.

This is a powerful force of nearly a thousand people, even the Ketufu River thieves at the peak have the power to resist, under the premise that many forces are weakened at present, Levi's army in order to conquer the swamp can be called a powerful force!

Not to mention the Ketufu River water thieves, even the troops who came to attack Grey Mist City at the beginning must feel that this force is quite hot, because the 60 7-pounder guns on the twenty light Canadian warships are not a small number!

"Come on, let's go!"

Standing at the bow of the first light Galie warship, seeing that the twenty warships behind him had already loaded everyone, the scimitar in Levi's hand had already pointed forward, and said in a deep voice: "Target, the Great Swamp." ”

"Target, Swamp!" The heralds passed on Levi's orders one by one, and the entire river fleet had already taken action, and with the rowing of the oars, twenty light Galie warships had also begun to sail slowly upward in the Yuqiao River against the current, like a winding python, heading towards its prey.

This is a battle to exterminate forces in the true sense, and it is also Levi's ability to digest his war dividends, because as the strongest force on Dayinpan Island at present, he doesn't need to think too much about other people's feelings.

If Levi thinks that the group of Ketufu River thieves is the enemy, then he will use all the points he has so far to use to kill all the enemies with this river force he has built!

The elven fleet is getting closer and closer, and the little Cage in the South Roaring Sea is a living example, if Levi doesn't want to be consumed by the entire elven fleet, then he must completely take root on this big silver pan island, instead of secretly being involved with the nobles of the gray mist city as he is now.

Even, Levi feels that the threat is getting bigger and bigger, and he will take the initiative to cleanse the aristocratic forces on this island, for only one reason, because he can do it!

………………………………

The provincial cavalry had already passed the news of Levi's imminent entry into the Swamp to the defenders at the silver pit, and the Reverend Zachari, as the governor of the place, had already arranged for the militiamen to simply tidy up the wooden docks.

The wooden dock that could originally dock two light Canadian warships was already very narrow at this time, after all, twenty light Canadian warships were coming, and they could fill the entire Yuqiao River to the brim, not to mention the small docks in this area, even the docks along the coast were somewhat dwarfed.

However, in order to ensure the safety of Li Wei and the fleet, the priest Zachari also carefully arranged for the town militia and spearmen to go further upstream of the Yuqiao River, carefully guarding and probing the situation, and temporarily blocking the river.

Any enemy who appears will be met with the merciless fire of the flintlock pistols in the hands of this group of town militiamen, in this river channel more than ten meters wide, their nearly close volley, can also easily hit the target, although the flintlock pistol in their hands is smoothbore without engraving rifling, but the accuracy within 30 meters is still guaranteed.

This is also the source of confidence in their hearts, since the increase in the number of garrisons in the town, almost all the undead in the past two days have been crushed in the tunnel, and there are not a few at all.

Even if a large group of skeleton warriors rushed out, with the volley of flintlock muskets and the tenacious spearmen at the forefront, the final result of the group of undead warriors was only to turn into bones all over the ground, and they trampled on and became slag.

However, it was not the undead who were most angry to Zachari, but the rat-like sneak attack of the Ketulf River thieves in the swamp, which made him angry.

In the last two days, the group of thieves from the Ketuf River has not only made a tentative attack on the silver pit, but also arranged for many men armed with bows and arrows to hide in the woods and sneak attack, and run away after shooting, and will not engage them head-on at all, as if to challenge his patience.

If it weren't for the fact that the spearmen and militiamen were all from the regular army, and the training in hand-to-hand combat had never been left behind, they might have been killed by the water thieves hiding inside in a few dark corners.

Even so, four or five of the town militia patrolled in small groups were wounded, and there was even one unlucky ghost who was seriously injured and was directly hit in the chest by a feather arrow, and if it weren't for the timely treatment of the priest Zachari, perhaps Levi would have lost a soldier.

Zachari also welcomed the arrival of Levi and the troops of Cape Town, but in order to prevent the premeditated conspiracy of the Ketuf River bandits, it was necessary to arrange personnel to block the upper reaches.

However, with the arrival of twenty light Galie warships, the soldiers standing densely on the deck also brought an invisible majesty, and even the priest Zachari, who had already been mentally prepared, was a little secretly frightened.

Because the Barbary pirates were so murderous, and their faces were full of excitement, all of them were indifferent to life and thirst for war, and in the eyes of his pious priest, if it were not his own allies, then he would have directly ordered his men to be on guard, and refused to allow these ships and soldiers to dock!
