Just when Xiao Yu was about to order the army to land, Du Sheng rushed back with the sailors under his command, and saw Xiao Yu's army in the port that was already preparing to land, Du Sheng was really remorseful.

Since the beginning of this year, when pirates began to raid merchant ships, he didn't pay much attention to them, after all, they were carried out far from their sphere of influence, and there were no ships of their own.

However, as time passed, Qu Liulang, Du Sheng and others found that something was wrong, not only were their merchant ships coveted by others many times, but even two of their own fleets transporting immigrants from Jiaozhou were almost robbed, which was inconsistent with the behavior of piracy.

Yesterday, a merchant fleet bound for Nanchen was robbed at sea, and hundreds of people were killed on several sea ships, which made many merchant ships on the sea dare not go to sea, which was very unfavorable to Jeju New City and various parts of the East China Sea that relied on sea trade to revitalize the economy, and it was also a serious provocation to their own side that had mastered the maritime hegemony of the East China Sea, so Du Sheng couldn't sit still, and he led 20 warships under his command to pour out of the nest and vowed to exterminate this gang of pirates.

To say that Du Sheng's purpose was not long in coming, he caught two pirates repairing their ships on a remote island a hundred miles north of the morning, and a number of pirate ships were sunk in an attempt to escape, and all the people on board were killed, and the pirates who left one ship surrendered in desperation.

But after some interrogation, Du Sheng was stunned, it turned out that what kind of pirates were here, all of them were Xiao Yu's sailor soldiers who had taken refuge in Baekje, and the previous attack on the migrant ship was also to add some Han soldiers to his side, after all, Xiao Yu still couldn't trust the Baekje people, and what made Du Sheng even more anxious was that Xiao Yu might be about to attack Jeju Island.

Not good, must return to Jeju Island as soon as possible! Imprisoned this group of Xiao Yu's naval soldiers at the bottom of the boat, Du Sheng rushed to Jeju Island with fire, and what made him even more angry was that a large number of traces of ships such as vegetable leaves, garbage, and sawdust were found on the sea surface of the return.

When Du Sheng and his entourage hurried to see Jeju New City from afar, they also saw Xiao Yu's naval army preparing to land, and it seemed that things were not yet the most dangerous moment, because the gap between the number of his warships and Xiao Yu's warships was too large, Du Sheng immediately ordered all the weapons of mass destruction under his command to be moved.

Xiao Yu saw Du Sheng's urgent return, although he was quite jealous in his heart, but seeing that Du Sheng only had twenty warships, and he could quickly capture Jeju New City as long as he landed, and then he had a large number of hostages in his hands, he did not worry about Du Sheng continuing to attack.

So under Xiao Yu's order, the veteran Zhu Huang led the 5,000 people gathered on each ship to land and attack Jeju New City, and the remaining 5,000 sailors blocked Du Sheng's attack under his own leadership, with Lu Zhen as the vanguard general.

At this time, there were nearly 1,000 militiamen stationed on the wharf, Jiang Tao, the leader of the Jeju Island militia battalion, and more than 200 veterans who retired due to injuries among these militiamen still had relatively strong combat effectiveness.

Although Jiang Tao did not have a trace of expression on his face, he was secretly anxious in his heart, it would be good if he led the militia from Qinjin, after all, there were many people in Qinjin, and the militia there were fighting with those dwarfs almost every day, but although Jeju Island had trained more frequently in recent years, he had not participated in any battles after all.

However, the maintenance base is much calmer, the Southern Dynasty has always been strong in the navy and the infantry army, and there are few cavalry, and Xiao Yu's navy has no cavalry. Although these cavalrymen under his command are militiamen, many of them have been able to ride horses since they were in Mupyeong's camp and Tuntian, and in Jeju Island in recent years, because every family has horses, they basically have good riding skills.

And Zhu Huang led the infantry army to land after the landing, and waited for thousands of people to land ashore before forming a strict formation to move forward, after all, hundreds of cavalry on the shore were a greater threat to themselves, and a strict infantry formation was the best way to restrain the cavalry.

At this moment, listening to a scream from the maintenance base, hundreds of cavalry roared past the right front of Xiao Liang's army, and the crossbow arrows that were 'shot' made the Liang army lose dozens of people, but the existence of crossbow arrows in the Liang army also caused the cavalry to lose more than a dozen people.

It is really not cost-effective to exchange cavalry for infantry with such a large proportion of casualties, and the maintenance base can only linger outside the 'shooting' range for a while, and dare not attack rashly.

Zhu Huang immediately smiled silently when he saw this, to say that the group of soldiers he led was also a rare 'elite' in the Southern Dynasty, and there was no slightest restlessness in the face of the piles of goods on the dock, which was also rare among all countries in the world.

Xu Ning, who was watching the battle in the city, was annoyed and smashed the battlements with his hands after seeing this scene, these goods on the dock were still left by his order, and it was originally to attract the attention of the Liang soldiers, so that he could take advantage of the situation to cover up and win quickly.

But I really underestimated this group of Liang troops, such a strong discipline 'character' is a rare good soldier in all countries, in case they really conquer Jeju New City, then their own losses will be great, fortunately, now the naval army led by Du Sheng on the sea has rushed back, containing half of the Liang army.

"Zheng Pei, have you set off to deliver letters to the militia in various towns?" Xu Ning suddenly asked Zheng Pei, and Zheng Pei hurriedly replied: "General Hui, I have already sent letters to seven or eight towns that are relatively close, in order not to be attacked from the rear, so I only let them send half of the cavalry to come!" ”

Xu Ning sighed and said: "It would be good to be able to bring half of the cavalry, so there will be more than a thousand cavalry!" I only hope that the Liang army will only attack our way, and if there is one more way to outflank it, it will really not be able to hold it! ”

Looking at the battlefield miles away from the city, Zheng Pei asked, "General, don't we have the rockets from Qinjin and the thunderbolts from the previous stockpile?" Why don't you use it as soon as possible, so as to boost our morale! ”

"Where is it so easy, besides, there has been no major war here on Jeju Island, and all the rockets made by Qin Jin have been transported to the front line of Jeju and Qizhou except for their own use, and there are not many thunderbolts!" Xu Ning said helplessly, but as soon as his voice changed, he encouraged: "But don't be afraid, we are so close to Qinjin here, as long as we can hold on for three or five days, reinforcements will definitely be sent there." ”

Needless to say, Xu Ning said that Zheng Pei also knew that Qin Jinde had sent reinforcements to Jeju Island, not only the major colleges set up by Wang Ze were distributed here, but He Bo was also here, and Liu Qing was also here, and even most of the families of the generals under Wang Ze also stayed on Jeju Island.

At the beginning of the occupation of Jeju Island, the guards were very strict, but with the passage of time and the fact that no one dared to disturb for a long time, both Wang Ze and everyone else relaxed their vigilance for a while.

On the battlefield, Jiang Tao also knew that it was okay for these militiamen under his command to fight with the large army, but it would be difficult for them to take on a battle alone, but fortunately, the arsenal in charge of Cao Lei was in Jeju New Town, and there were many crossbow arrows stored in the arsenal of Jeju Island, which came in handy this time.

For the first time, the militia put on such good armor and used such good crossbow arrows, and they actually eliminated nearly 200 Liang troops in the middle of the battle, but they didn't know how angry Zhu Huang's battle was.

Zhu Huang also knew that the armor and equipment of the army under Wang Ze's command were very good, but the opponent could 'shoot' at a distance of 200 steps from him.

I was also annoyed on my side, and 'shot' people with bows and arrows, but they were all blocked by the armor worn by the other party, and occasionally I could see a few people falling in the opponent's army formation, but they retreated while 'shooting' at you, but they didn't look at you, and they didn't even leave a single corpse, so they didn't know whether to 'shoot' wounds or 'shoot' to death.

While Zhu Huang was annoyed, he didn't know that the morale of his army was also being worn out little by little, even the most 'elite' army would go crazy in this kind of war situation where others could beat him and he could not do anything about others.

Just when Zhu Huang was about to concentrate the sword and shield soldiers to charge, he only saw dozens of fires flashing, and then he heard a scream coming from the front, and suddenly dozens of strange things fell into his own army formation.

Zhu Huang, who had seen how Qu Liulang cleaned up Su I's horse, immediately realized that the situation was not good, he lay on the ground, and then he listened to a violent explosion, a sharp pain in his back, and then a hand that he didn't know who fell in front of Zhu Huang's eyes.

When the explosion sounded, Zhu Huang stood up with the pain of the wound on his back, and found that there were still nearly 5,000 people in the team who directly fell hundreds of people this time, after all, the explosion strength of the black fire 'medicine' was limited, and it could not be directly a large crater with a diameter of tens or hundreds of meters like the missiles of later generations.

This time, Zhu Huang was really 'provoked', and he roared angrily: "All of them rush me and kill them!" At this time, there were almost 4,000 people left in the Liang army, and at this time, they also put aside all dangers, anyway, no matter how they dodged, they couldn't stop it, so they simply rushed forward.

Jiang Tao didn't dare to retreat slowly, he hurriedly ordered hundreds of militia to retreat to the city urgently, and Baoji led the cavalry to attack the Liang army in the flank and rear to cover the retreat of the infantry.

In any case, this battle finally allowed the Liang army to achieve the original battle purpose, but now the most rare problem has been placed in front of Zhu Huang's eyes, although the scale of Jeju New City is only tens of thousands of people, but the city is full of walls wrapped in volcanic stones as high as ten meters.

Just when Zhu Huang was very anxious, suddenly a general's eyes turned and said: "Old general, I heard that Liu Qing, an old immortal who used to be quite prestigious in Jingzhou in the Southern Dynasty, is now around here, and he is now the leader of the Haotian God Sect in various places under Wang Ze's rule, if you ······"

Needless to say, this person's meaning is obvious, now Wang Ze's promotion of the Haotian God Sect in various parts of the East China Sea is making a big noise, and even the countries in the East China Sea know about these things, and merchants from all over the world often go to worship the Haotian Grand Temple, which is adjacent to Jeju New Town.

After all, everyone knows that Chinese worship as long as they are immortals, after all, they are immortals, and it is not strange to have many gods! Compared with the fact that later generations went to the Taoist temple to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Haotian God Sect is much more professional and dedicated, and basically incorporated some immortals from all over the world.

The Jeju New City Haotian Grand Shrine is also the most famous as the highest temple in the East China Sea, and the old immortal Liu Qing, who presides over religious affairs, is of course more well-known to everyone, especially Liu Qing's immortal wind bones cultivated in the past hundred years have attracted many believers.

Zhu Huang frowned when he heard this idea, but when he saw the tall and majestic Jeju New City in front of him, he still ordered this general to lead 800 people to take all the Taoist priests of the Haotian Temple as hostages, in an attempt to 'force' the city to surrender.

Outside the Haotian Great Temple, there are also hundreds of militia sent by Xu Ning to defend, and the commander of the team is called Pan Yannian, who is also the old department of Wang Yong when he was in Changguang County, although these soldiers are also very brave in fighting under the leadership of Pan Yannian, and they also have the convenience of relying on the terrain to defend, but how can they resist the attack of the regular army of the Liang army of eight hundred.

At the critical moment, I suddenly heard a loud shout: "Uncle Pan, we are here to help!" Listening to the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, Pan Yannian looked up and saw that there were hundreds of teenagers riding war horses from the side and rear of the Liang army, and the leader seemed to be Qin Han, the son of the deceased Qin Ming and Qin's second brother.

This 'bastard' kid is so difficult that he doesn't know that the war is dangerous! But in any case, after all, more than 300 Liang soldiers were attracted to the past, and I just hope that these 'bastard' boys can leave as soon as they get involved and not get mixed with Liang Jun, after all, the strength of young people is far less durable than that of young adults.

Liu Qing also sighed in the main hall, how could he not hear such a loud 'fierce' battle outside the hall, but now there are only some Taoist priests who know medical skills and some young Taoist children in the temple, if he is younger, he can go out to help these young people fight, and now he can only take out his own medical equipment and some wounded 'medicine' as soon as possible, ready to heal the wounded soldiers.

Qin Han was only a little more than twelve years old when Wang Ze met him, and now he is almost fourteen or fifteen years old, although he is still a minor, he has already grown into a big man, since Qin Ming's death, the family has been allocated thousands of acres of pasture, and the family has dozens of good horses.

So Qin Han gradually exercised a good riding skill in a few years, and a group of teenagers gathered around him, all day long in the Qin family's ranch 'mixed', today he learned from the messenger passing by at home that there was a large number of Xiao Liang naval army attacking Jeju New City, and immediately summoned the nearby acquaintances to come to support.

At that time, in order to take a shortcut, there was a small road to the Haotian Great Temple, but I didn't expect that there would be an army attacking the Great Temple, and in the hearts of Qin Han's group of young people, the loftiness of the temple was inviolable, so the teenagers immediately came to support.

However, the teenagers had never been on the battlefield after all, and casualties began to occur after a while, fortunately, militiamen from other places had already come to support on horseback at this time, but unfortunately more than a dozen teenagers were killed in battle, and hundreds of people were injured, and they were rushed to the treatment room of the temple.

Looking at these teenagers who died because of rescuing themselves, Liu Qing, who was nearly 100 years old, couldn't help but have tears on his face, these are good boys, but they can't let the injured teenager lose their lives, relying on Liu Qing's superb medical skills, he finally didn't let any teenager die.

Looking at the militia that kept coming from all over the place, Zhu Huang's pressure was getting bigger and bigger, the battle between Xiao Yu and Du Sheng on the sea was delayed for a long time, and reinforcements from Jeju City on land kept coming.

Now there are nearly 2,000 militia cavalry outside Jeju City, but this number is still expanding, and even Zhu Huang has seen hundreds of 'women' wearing armor and riding horses. Zhu Huang thought sadly.
