Chapter 1543 Hand-to-hand Battles Where did the ship come from?

The visibility at night was too low, and the fleet of the Star Leader was more than thirty miles away from the mouth of the river, so it was not clear at all, and it was the best time for the other party to rush out.

However, this situation had long been expected by Jiang Xingchen, and the countermeasures had already been thought of, that is, to send people to land, observe at close range, and send a signal to the fleet in time.

At dusk, the two three-story treasure ships broke away from the fleet at the fastest speed and sailed quickly to the banks of the estuary, each with thirty people on board, led by the Iron Sword Mercenary Group and the Shocking Mercenary Group, and the rest were Jiang Xingchen's private soldiers.

The people sent to carry out the mission are all masters, and the members of the Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment are basically cultivators above the second level of Yuan Qi, while the private soldiers have all reached the ninth level of condensation. Considering that the other side will definitely arrange a large number of manpower, it is necessary to prevent the fleet from sending people ashore. In other words, this will be an extremely dangerous hand-to-hand encounter, and the strength of the people sent out cannot, of course, be inferior, and the commanders of the two fleets can only use the strongest force that Jiang Xingchen transferred to them.

As the sky grew darker and darker, the shallow waters on both sides of the estuary were slowly advanced by heavily armed privates led by the Iron Sword Crew, who were aiming for an area five to ten miles from the estuary, which was also the best area for the fleet's artillery coverage.

They did not go to the jungle on both sides of the river, but only sent five or six people to hide in the grass on the shore to keep an eye on the movement in the jungle at all times.

This plan of action was planned long ago, and the enemy would not be able to rush out during the day, and would definitely guard against the enemy's landing at night. In other words, it is very likely that a trap has been set in the jungle on both sides of the river. Now the technology of grenades and landmines has long been spread, and if you go to a landmine, it will be miserable.

It is much safer to walk in shallow water, and the other party will never think of burying mines in the water. Although the target is larger, it is easy to be sneak attacked. But scouts hiding in the grass will react in time to minimize the danger.

The two sides came very quickly in close combat. The privates had walked more than three miles before someone saw the shadow of the fleet with binoculars. Just as they were about to notify the fleet at sea of an attack, the private soldiers hiding in the grass discovered the anomaly.

"Disperse, there are enemies!" The reconnaissance post immediately sounded the alarm, and the quality of the private soldiers was immediately manifested, and they almost moved their bodies without the slightest consternation, nor the slightest bit of mud and water. In an instant, they all dispersed and fell to the shore.

The moment when the private soldiers reacted. More than a dozen pitch-black iron bumps flew out of the dense forest, boom, boom, and the water where the private soldiers had just been hiding was splashed in all directions.

didn't care about what was going on behind them at all, the private soldiers raised their hands and a string of bowstrings vibrated loudly, and a few screams suddenly came to mind in the dense forest.

The private soldiers did not stop, and the first few people raised their hands and threw a few grenades towards the place where the screams came from, and in the explosion, more than a dozen people scattered and threw themselves into the dense forest. The rest of the people were not idle, and quickly took out a cylinder on the riverbank. It was on the ground

Beyond the mouth of the river, Yan River stands at the bow of the flagship. That's right, he can already stand up, it's the old man who did it for him personally, but he can't move around yet.

But there was no joy on his face at the moment to leave the wheelchair. Anxiously looking in the direction of the estuary. He was really afraid that the private soldiers would be lost on the island, but these were all old men who had followed Jiang Xingchen for many years, and they couldn't afford to lose any of them.

"Boom!" The sky suddenly exploded into a brilliant firework, and the beautiful fireworks were fleeting. Yan He finally let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Artillery fire preparation. The target is three miles from the mouth of the river, covering the attack" Yan He immediately ordered. A moment later, the roar of artillery fire rang out on the pitch-black sea.

At this time, in the estuary, the hand-to-hand battle ended, nearly thirty masters of Mandan Island died in the dense forest on the shore, Jiang Xingchen's side won a complete victory, and the only fly in the ointment was that a private soldier was slightly injured.

And in the middle of the river, six five-story treasure ships were shattered by the covering shelling.

The first batch of ships was successfully intercepted, and the tension of the private soldiers was relieved a lot, and one by one their emotions were high, and they accelerated and continued to rush to their destinations

There are a total of thirteen large estuaries on the two islands, and the situation inside is much the same, and the stars are victorious in close combat, with almost zero casualties, which shows the huge gap between the two sides.

However, they didn't dare to be careless, after all, they were on other people's territory, and Yan He and Wang Zhicheng in the fleet still seemed to be cautious, and they were even more tired, almost not closing their eyes all night, carefully paying attention to the movements on the island. And all the strange behaviors of the two islands during the day have long been forgotten by the two

The stars are moving, and the night is about to pass. With the cooperation of the landing personnel, the fleet of the star leader carried out more than ten consecutive covering artillery bombardments, sinking countless ships of the opposing side, and even without releasing a single ship of the opposing side, the landing personnel also went through several battles with the other side, although there were still no dead people, but the number of injured gradually increased.

At the end of the night, it seems that the expected goal has been achieved, but it has also made people physically and mentally exhausted. Everyone on the boats blocking the estuary was very tired.

However, they could not rest yet, because the two islands were like crazy, and they were still sending a steady stream of ships to renovate the customs.

"How many ships do these guys have?" With a noise in their hearts, they have to continue to hold on.

As dawn passed, the sky brightened, and Yan He and Wang Zhicheng realized that they couldn't go on like this. At first, they were not afraid of the large number of the other party, but now they are really worried, and they have knocked out nearly 400 ships of the other party, but the other party still has spare strength. If you continue, you won't have enough shells on your side. For one day and one night, his own fleet used more than 2,000 shells, and other fleets were about the same. That is to say, in one day's attack, Xingchen Ling scored more than 20,000 shells and more than 200,000 yuan of stone, not counting the attack on the port.

This result made Yan He feel distressed, what kind of war is this, it is simply to burn money, and more importantly, the shells carried by his fleet are about to run out, and they must hurry up to replenish them.

Fortunately, the fleet attacking other ports has basically completed its task at this moment, and can come here to take over.

Yan River, Wang Zhicheng and the two immediately wrote to the fleet besieging the port, asking them to complete the task and quickly take over the work of the estuary, and at the same time inform the Land of the Cursed and Mingque Island, asking them to hurry up and transport the cannonballs

Another day passed, and the onslaught in the estuary continued, and more ships were destroyed. Some of the rivers were blocked, and a large number of people were sent to clean up the two islands.

Night fell again, and Yan He, who had slept for less than two hours, came to the bow of the boat again. He was now hoping that the fleet attacking the harbor would arrive soon, so that the sailors here could have a good rest. According to his estimates, the nearest fleet would arrive in the middle of the night.

However, things were far from going as smoothly as he thought, and the fleet that took over in the middle of the night did not arrive. And just as he was in a hurry to get the answer, suddenly a cannon shot came from the rear, clinging to his flagship, and a huge wave of water exploded.

Yan He's body was crooked, and he fell on the deck all of a sudden, stunned for a long time. How could there be a ship attacking him, where did this ship come from, could it be that Ah Hong Island arrived, was it so fast.

In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Yan He's mind, and at this time, another cannonball landed in the sea next to the flagship, and the seven-story treasure ship was jolted.

"Watch behind you, watch behind you!" Yan He roared, climbed up hard, and commanded loudly: "Quickly let the killer whales with the team go over to investigate, quickly!"

Although the enemy had only fired two shells so far, and it seemed that there was only one boat, Yan He always felt a very strong palpitation.

"Boom, boom, boom" Just a moment after he gave the order, a dense cannon fire suddenly rang out, and shells rained down like drops. A five-story treasure ship was hit in the bow during the attack and sank to the bottom of the sea in a moment.

"Retreat, retreat, immediately!" Yan He was immediately shocked and ordered loudly. This Nima is definitely a trap, and the other party has already arranged it secretly

Judging from the trajectory of the shells, it is likely that he has been surrounded and must be withdrawn immediately, otherwise the other party will eat all the bones if he doesn't get it.

"Boom~" There was another huge firework exploding in the sky in the estuary, but this time Yan He didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he had to quickly distance himself from the other party.

Without the suppression of the Yanhe fleet, the estuary finally breathed a sigh of relief, and several five-story treasure ships rushed forward with all their might, and the sudden steam engine noise was extremely harsh.

The private soldiers on both sides of the strait frowned and gave a signal, but the fleet did not attack, but there was still artillery in the distance, could it be that the fleet was attacked by the enemy?

Although they were anxious, they didn't have any way, and they couldn't exert any strength at all

Yan He's fleet finally began to accelerate, and more than a dozen ships lined up, leveled their guns, and rushed forward while bombarding. In order to deter the other party, so as to tear the encirclement of the other party.

"Where the hell did the ship come from, and where did it come from!" Yan He's mind was full of this question, if it was said that Ahong Island's fleet rushed to kill him, he wouldn't believe it, the lord had already made a preemptive strike, and the other party wouldn't be able to survive at all in ten days, let alone surround himself silently.

What made him relieved was that he couldn't see clearly in the dark sky, and the other party couldn't see it either. At first, just surround yourself with your voice. Now that he has moved away, it is not easy for the other party to lock him again, as long as he can tear through their encirclement.

Just when Yan He's side was trying to break out of the encirclement, what he didn't know was that the fleets of the two big islands, a total of thirteen estuary, were similar to his situation, unknowingly surrounded and attacked, and had lost more than 30 ships in just half an hour!

Almost all the entire fleet had made the decision to evacuate, and no one cared about blocking the estuary at this time, and if it continued, it was very likely that they would be completely annihilated. (To be continued.) )
