Chapter 156: Retreat

Taking advantage of the attention of everyone on the island who was attracted by Hal, Wang Hao also quickened his pace.

In One Piece, battles involving land rarely take place.

Even in the battle for ports, the outcome of the battle on the sea is generally determined by the outcome of the battle.

Without the containment of the fleet, no matter how well the port was defended, it would be impossible to withstand a large-scale naval attack.

Wang Hao can't say that he has never experienced similar battles, but he can also be said to be one of the few in his two lives.

As he could imagine, the battle on Howl's side was hard.

But he didn't look in the direction where Hal was, and he knew that what he had to do now was to capture the enemy's command center as quickly as possible.

Only in this way can the pressure on that side be reduced.

On a hillside that is not very conspicuous, a tricolor flag waives in the wind.

It was the command base of the French army.

Wang Hao and the others were not careless in their movements, but when they approached the center of the base, they still encountered French soldiers.

A soldier dressed as an officer, after his initial astonishment, reacted and shouted, "Destroy the British." ”

It was Wang Hao who reacted faster than the other party, and when the legal ** official spoke, he pulled out the knight's sword in his hand and rushed forward.

The base is right in front of you, and if you get entangled here, it will be a big disadvantage.

Therefore, he almost didn't hesitate to launch "Bravery".

Wu Yong's surname skyrocketed to more than twenty all of a sudden, although this is not the only one among the current players, but it is definitely extremely rare.

After seeing Wang Hao's menacing sword, the lawyer's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached back the hand that had touched the back of his waist, pulled out a thin sword that was no more than two fingers wide, stepped forward with his right foot, and turned his wrist, like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, and the sword body stabbed forward violently.

The law ** officer's movements are very sensitive, and he has rich combat experience, although he is a latecomer, he is faintly going to be faster.

If this trend continues, he will definitely stab his opponent first.

Fortunately, Wang Hao's foundation is high, and his knowledge is not bad, one sideways, and the long sword in his hand turns into a sweep.

The legal ** officer missed, and he didn't care, but he didn't care about the big sword that stopped him, his calf bent slightly, he jumped longitudinally, and landed a few steps away.

After this short fight, both sides knew that the opponent was a fierce rival, and they became more and more serious at the moment.

And the sailors beside Wang Hao also fought with the soldiers of the other side, and the number of people on both sides was about the same, and the performance was equal.

The real decision is still on the outcome of the battle between Wang Hao and the legal officer.

Although I have never liked to engage in savage and unskilled hand-to-hand combat with others, I have had several previous experiences, which made Wang Hao understand a truth, if some things can't be avoided, then try to learn to enjoy it.

At least, when Wang Hao abandoned distracting thoughts and fought the enemy in front of him wholeheartedly, that kind of exhilarating feeling could not be found in the artillery battle.

However, he did not forget that Hal was still in danger, so his fighting style was extremely wild, and he had the posture of dying with the enemy.

In fact, he did the same, but in about ten rounds, he had three more wounds on his body, and the other party also had two.

It seems that Wang Hao's side is suffering, but in fact, it is not, which can be seen from the volume of the weapons on both sides.

Wang Hao has a few more blood holes on his body, but the clothes of the legal ** official are half red.

The two fought on different paths, and what the legal officer learned was more suitable for gladiatorial performances, if he competed on another occasion, Wang Hao was far from being the opponent of the former, but life and death were very different.

Relying on his own blood volume to be much thicker than others, Wang Hao finally grinded his opponent to death, and after helping the sailors to deal with the remaining French soldiers, he stopped to tidy up his wounds.

After giving some medicine to the wound and bandaging it briefly, Wang Hao was about to give the order to attack the hillside.

But a little golden light flashed in the corner of his eye, and he immediately walked to the corpse of the judicial officer, if he was not mistaken, the golden light came from here.

He slowly moved the body away, and a delicate pistol came into view.

This is not one of the decorations on the market, it is a genuine piece of equipment.

Hand Commander (Off-Hand): Martial Arts +5, with a critical hit of the skill.

Critical Strike: Passive skill, 15% chance to deal double damage to enemies.

Seeing this weapon, Wang Hao remembered what the opponent's initial action meant, if he was shot first, the subsequent result would be the same as now.

Sure enough, the lone hero listened to the bull fork, but it was really a high-risk thing.

Thinking that he was almost planted on a small officer just now, Wang Hao's face couldn't help but show a hint of happiness.

The surname of this hand-run is quite good, it is considered a small superlative, and it will be equipped immediately.

It stands to reason that the battle here is not short, and the command base on the hillside should be visible, but there has been no movement there for a long time, which makes Wang Hao's heart a little hairy.

He would rather the other party rush down with open guns and fight each other, which might be much easier.

Although he muttered a little in his heart, the expression on Wang Hao's face remained unchanged, and he rushed up to the hillside where the French command base was located with five or six injured sailors.

On a tall bamboo pole, a tricolor flag hangs, and in addition to this, there is a row of bungalows and several discarded wooden boxes.

This is the French command base?

A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Hao's eyes, and it was too quiet here.

At first he had some doubts that the enemy was hiding in the house, waiting for him to rush forward, and then he would make a surprise attack on himself.

But then I thought about it and felt that it didn't make the slightest sense.

Other than that, there's really no one here.

Thinking of the group of enemies he encountered before, Wang Hao couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, couldn't the guy he killed just now be the commander of this base?

Touching the hand of the deputy, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be a big surname.

The next thing is simple, lower the French tricolor flag and raise the rice flag.

System: You have captured base A0205 of the French camp.

"Lord Dobby is dead, and the base has been captured!"

"Run for your life."

"I surrender."

In all corners of the island, all the French soldiers saw despair in their eyes after discovering that the familiar tricolor was gone, replaced by the British one.

Having accepted this fact, some of them went crazy and launched a deadly offensive against Hal, inflicting heavy losses on the latter, but many more French accepted the fate of defeat with a blank face.

By the time Wang Hao found Hal, less than half of the sailors that the other party had brought with him when he set off were still standing intact at this time, and even Hal's body was covered with blood.

And in the cycle, there are dozens of French soldiers squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, their faces full of confusion.

Obviously, these people have already surrendered.

Wang Hao noticed that although Hal's face was not very good because of his injury, there was an extra look in his eyes, and he believed that in this battle, he also had a lot of gains.

It has to be said that these French prisoners were very conscious, and they squatted in groups according to their previous habits, which saved them a lot of trouble......

After solving the shore, the next step is to clean up the French naval detachment.

For the first artillery, these sailors under Wang Hao are no strangers.

It can be said that in the king of the sea, these sailors were all-round warriors, who could hold swords and play with muskets and cannons, but they were not proficient.

And Wang Hao's biggest embarrassment at the moment is the shortage of sailors, excluding the people who take care of the prisoners, he is only enough to fire ten shore defense cannons at most.

According to his agreement with Kirwin and others, when the shore defense cannon sounded again, it was the time when the Holy Blood Fleet was deployed.

By this time, the smoke of gunfire had long since cleared from the sea, and after the pursuit was unsuccessful, the fleet led by Perley began to return to the range of the shore defense guns.

Within the French Navy, these shore defense guns were also affectionately called "protectors", and they were quite intimate in their words.

"General, what do you see on the island?" A sailor casually looked at the island, and his expression suddenly became frightened.

"On the island? What can happen to the island, can it still be captured by the enemy? ”

Paley said angrily, he was wondering why he was missing a ship, and he was depressed, and then there was a rumbling sound in his ears.

It was the sound of shore defense artillery.

He made a judgment for the first time, and then doubts arose in his heart, could it be that the enemy is calling again?

Pelly looked around, and he was the only one in the fleet.

In the next moment, seven or eight basin-sized columns of water rose on the surface of the nearby sea, and a French battleship was hit squarely, and a hole suddenly appeared in the deck.

Although there is no sign of silence, it is certain that the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

"Bastard, how did you shoot the cannon, even your own people are beaten, see if I go back and don't complain to the commander about them."

When Paley saw the ship that had been heavily damaged by the shore defense guns, the muscles on his face couldn't help but tremble, and he had a very heartbroken expression when he had so much money.

"General, it's not our people on the island, it's the British, and the British attacked us."

The water pointed to the flag floating on the island, its face the color of earth.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, how can the other party be under our noses......"

As he spoke, Paley's voice began to diminish as he remembered the lonely lost British ship and the strange smoke of gunfire, and he finally connected the whole thing.

"General, the British fleet is here again."

Shocked and angry, Paley looked towards the sea, and sure enough, he found a large British fleet.

"General, let's go back and fight those despicable guys on the island."

Driven by this sailor, there was a faint glimmer of brilliance in the eyes of the sailors around him.

"Well, let me think about it."

Paley's face began to sweat, he trusted the other party's judgment, there must not be many British on the island, if their whole fleet pressed down, they would definitely be able to destroy the opponent, but in that case, they would also die.

I don't know if it's his acquired environment, or if the system is set up like this.

"For the sake of France's future, we can't easily bury our precious fleet here, so let's withdraw."

The sparkle in the eyes of the surrounding sailors began to fade after hearing this, but they still faithfully carried out the commander's orders. (To be continued.) )
