"Is it ** bent in front?

Hundreds of boats, the mighty Jinghai army sailed on the sea for two days and one night, and finally arrived at a sea area in the evening of the next day. At a glance, this sea area is no longer a dull blue sea and blue sky, but a huge collection of islands, reefs, forests, land, and a huge canyon left between the two mountains, as if you have come to another intricate continent.

Hong Yi stood at the bow of the boat, in the afterglow of the fall, looking at the scenery of the **bend from afar, and found that the existing islands could not be seen at all, not the kind of small islands that a person can circle around in a day, it is simply a piece of sea and land.

"The situation of suppressing bandits is sinister, this kind of terrain is not an island at all, but a kingdom on the sea! On these islands, people can farm, raise, and even smelt steel and recuperate...."Hong Yi looked at this terrain and knew that this time it was definitely not a simple matter to suppress bandits.

The ** bend island in front of you is incredibly big, according to the records, some of these islands are as big as half a province, and they are rich in products, and even have mineral deposits.

It's just that this ** bend is complicated, pirates are entrenched, and they are strictly monitored by major national forces, and it's just that pirates are entrenched, if anyone establishes a country on it, I'm afraid that it will be wiped out immediately.

At present, the Fifth Route Army of the Jing Navy is also trying to open up sea routes for the great cadres and establish a supply base at sea, so as to prevent the navy and navy from attacking again from the sea after Yunmeng.

This battle, nominally a bandit, is actually a war.

"I'm afraid this crackdown on bandits will not be easy. Need to be careful and be careful. ”

Hong Yi has been in the cabin for the past two days, studying all kinds of materials, and now he has seen the field with his own eyes, and he has gradually understood the current form in his heart.

Dangdang...... A bell rang over, but it was the loud sound of gold and iron coming from the big officer's ship along the way, and the sound of gold meant that the troops were withdrawn and the advance stopped.

Blowing trumpets and beating drums represents attack, which is an iron rule in the army. As long as you have enlisted in the army, you know.

The sound of Mingjin came from the commander's army, and all the ships slowly stopped, and more than 10,000 people, hundreds of large and small ships, composed of behemoths, slowly stopped on the sea.

"All the ships and soldiers will stand by in place, recuperate for one night, and listen to the horn tomorrow morning to attack the Giant Whale Island! Change the formation, the baggage ships are in the middle, and the iron cables of each ship are connected and closely protected. "The herald boats shuttled non-stop, delivering the commander's orders to the ears of each battalion.

As soon as this order was issued, four or five hundred baggage ships were surrounded in the middle, and the ships were close together, all of them were tied together with iron cables and iron hooks, and the iron anchors were lowered, as if they were a whole.

There were more than 10,000 troops along the way, and there were originally more than 200 warships, but with the addition of baggage, grain, grass, horses, fresh water, medicine and other things, it was enough to carry four or five hundred ships.

"This Deng Yuantong is really a veteran of the water master. The means of fighting and arranging troops, I have to learn it well. ”

Hong Yi saw the huge fleet, which was instantly connected into a water fortress, with the momentum of an iron cable blocking the river, like a dragon, firmly entrenched, with grain, grass and freshwater medicine in the center, steadily protecting, and each patrol boat was free from the edge.

This is a naval formation, which you can't learn from any military books.

After this pause, fires and cooking began to be made on various warships, and at the same time, a large amount of sewage and feces were washed out to the sea, attracting countless sea fish to compete with each other.

"Today, we will rest for the night, and the ship carrying grain and water in the back should also arrive, and as soon as the ship carrying grain and water arrives, the morale will be greatly increased, and it will be in the morning to land in one fell swoop. This Deng Yuantong is indeed a veteran. Chi Chaiyang looked at the water fortress, pondered the order, and nodded.

"You have to carry water and grain? You see, there are four or five hundred boatloads of grain, fresh water, and charcoal. Isn't that enough?" Xiao Mu smashed his tongue.

"More than 10,000 people eat and drink Lazar every day, that is, Mishan noodles and Roushan, we have been sailing at sea for two days and one night, don't look at the meat and fresh water we brought, in fact, we have eaten almost. Hong Yi said: "When the army fights, it is better to have rotten grain than to lack food, Deng Yuantong is a veteran, this waterway, every day from the Jing Navy will transport grain, meat, charcoal, fresh water medicine." However, I am afraid that those pirates have some means to intercept the ships carrying grain on the way. ”

"Yes, the Giant Whale Island, although it is big, is full of mountains and forests and cliffs in many places, and it is impossible to land. There must also be an ambush on the beach where you can land. If it can't be attacked for a long time, and the grain ship is intercepted again, this army will be finished, and fighting at sea will be more dangerous than on land. Chi Chayang pointed to the huge giant whale island in the distance, and watched the sun set.

On Giant Whale Island, it is turquoise, and it seems that all of it is primeval forest, and the mountains are reckless and undulating. I couldn't see any people.

However, Hong Yi looked at this uninhabited, huge island, and a chill inexplicably welled up in his heart.

"What kind of pirates are there on the island?"

.................................................................................................................. The next day, just after dawn, there were hundreds of grain ships and freshwater ships transported over, and the morale of the entire army was high, and in the sound of horns and drums, the army of 10,000 people marched towards the giant whale island in the distance little by little!

As the ship approached, a strip of white sè appeared on the edge of the island, a white sand beach, and a few flat areas where the whale island had landed.

Disheveled!

Hong Yi jumped off the boat, stepped into the dive, and then walked dozens of steps, and finally stood on the white and soft sand, feeling a sense of solidity in his heart.

"Assemble!"

At the sound of an order, Hong Yi's personal entourage, more than 300 soldiers around him got off the boat one after another and gathered on the beach, leaving only a few trustworthy personal soldiers to guard the boat.

At the same time, more than 20 battalions also went to the beach one after another and gathered separately. All of a sudden, the swords and guns were unsheathed, and the murderous aura was soaring, and a large area of birds fluttered among the mountains in the distance.

"Brother Hong, look!" When Hong Yi was assembling the team, Chi Chaiyang pointed to not far away, Wei Lei's eighteen ships were also gathered, and it seemed that there were five or six hundred people. It's twice as much as Hong Yi's side.

Moreover, these soldiers, all wearing a white ox armor, a bow on their backs, hanging arrows, and a knife, showed a strong and mighty jīng. The quality is faintly more than Hong Yi's group of soldiers.

The most noteworthy thing is that the more than 30 personal soldiers around Wei Lei are wearing python scale armor, an ironwood ebony bow, steel-soled mountaineering arrow boots, and a black steel war knife, with a majestic momentum, looking at this appearance, he is a master at the martial arts level!

In addition to these pro-soldiers, the core circle is a long-bearded old man beside Wei Lei, who is not wearing armor, wearing a Xuan sè strong suit, and his hands are empty.

In the midst of an army war, there are only two possibilities for a person who does not wear armor or carry weapons, the first is that this person is a fool. The second is that this person's kung fu is boundless and has absolute strength. 100 enemies!

Obviously, this old man with a long beard and a narrow face is the second kind of person.

"I know this person, his name is Luo Lie, a famous martial arts master in the south thirty years ago, nicknamed Henglian Taibao. After the south was completely pacified in the 30th year of the Great Qian, this man took refuge in the governor Wei Taicang and became a housekeeper. ”

Chi Chaiyang glanced at the old man a few more times, and then recognized it.

"What about the rest?" Hong Yi looked at Wei Lei's side, in addition to the housekeeper of Luo Lie, who was "Henglian Taibao", there were a few other people, a young man with a spear in his hand and wearing civilian clothes, and a woman with a heavy sword on his back, and the other four or five people holding their hands on their chests, looking at the mountains from afar, enjoying the scenery, and there were no people wearing armor, all of them looked different.

"I don't know the rest, but it's not good. Wei Taicang has been the governor of the south for 30 years, and his power is extraordinary, as if he is the emperor of the soil, and there are many masters and dead soldiers under his command. "Chi Chayang Road.

Just when Hong Yi looked at Wei Lei, Wei Lei in the distance pointed out the generals, and he seemed to feel Hong Yi's gaze and swept towards him, his eyes were naked and ill-intentioned.

Hong Yi retracted his gaze and pulled out the "Shark Slashing" and raised: "The people of the Green Camp!

With this sword, the brilliant chrysanthemum pattern on the body of the "Shark Chopping" sword emitted a dazzling jīng light under the morning sun, piercing the eyes of the people present.

More than 300 people, all of them walked briskly across the beach and entered the jungle path of Giant Whale Island.

At the same time, several other battalions also entered the search one after another. Only the most sharp army of 3,000 was left, resting on the beach, and the whole army was sent at any time.

Hong Yi's green battalion is the pioneer, responsible for searching, and when he encounters pirates, he will exterminate them if they can exterminate them, and if they can't exterminate them, they will immediately fire horns and rockets into the sky to notify the large army.

Although the army knew that there were thousands of pirates harboring on Giant Whale Island, and also knew that the pirates' lair was on the Zhōngyāng Mountain on Giant Whale Island, the specific manpower and distribution of the pirate's lair were not so detailed.

However, the army of tens of thousands of people, with ten times the number of troops, crushed the pirates to death.

The woods behind this beach also have a path leading to the middle of the island, which is faintly carved out by man, but many places are overgrown with weeds, dense trees, and moist forests.

Just as the army drove into the forest, there were suddenly several screams, as if the soldiers had been attacked by something, which was terrifying.

"Don't panic, everyone, it's been bitten by a snake!" The roars of one after another calmed people's hearts.

The southern islands are hot and humid, and there are many snakes and insects, so many armies go into the jungle of the islands to search for them, and they are bitten by snakes, which is simply a normal thing.

..................................................................................................................

"This southern island is really troublesome, no wonder the bandits have been repeatedly suppressed, but no results have been obtained. These hot and humid jungles, the army will have to suffer a lot of casualties when they go in, you see the clumps of mosquitoes, the mountain leeches on the ground, poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders?"

As they progressed deeper into the jungle, the surrounding armies also split up to search, and entered towards zhōngyāng, and a battalion of people was far apart. The teams of Hong Yi's battalion all followed closely and gradually deepened!

With a sword cutting through the thorns blocking the road in front, Hong Yi looked at the woods not far in front of him, rolling around like black balls, buzzing mosquitoes, as well as the grass next to him, the smell of miasma from the rotting leaves, the poisonous spiders crawling around, leeches, and occasionally colorful poisonous snakes, and felt that his scalp was numb.

Fortunately, when they accompanied them, the soldiers brought plenty of realgar, mint leaves in their mouths, and potions on their skins, otherwise they would have been smoked by miasma as long as they took a short path.

The two mastiffs and lion kings also wore armor, and their limbs and soles were tied with thick leather and cotton cloth covers to avoid being bitten by insects and thorns.

These two mastiff lion kings are very jǐng, with their noses and ears moving, leading people forward, but there is no trouble.

The more you go forward, the more poisonous insects there are, and the slower the advance line becomes.

Suddenly, among the three hundred soldiers, there were already two people, who were bitten by the poisonous spiders falling from the trees, their whole bodies turned black, and they immediately passed out, showing the powerful poison of the spiders in the jungle of the southern islands.

"Medicate, go under the knife, squeeze the venom out!"

Hong Yi immediately ordered, cut the wounds of the two soldiers twice, squeezed out the black blood, and then fed antidotes, and finally rescued.

"Humph!"

At this time, in the midst of a large bag that Xiao Mu was carrying behind his back, Jin Xun'er jumped out and let out a sharp scream.

Suddenly, in the surrounding woods, all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes fled desperately, and even many black mosquitoes in front of them rumbled and scattered, as if they had encountered some natural enemies.

"Huh, Golden Spider, do you still have this kind of means?" Hong Yi asked in surprise.

"Of course, our golden spider is the king of all insects. As soon as my breath is released, all the poisonous insects will obediently flee. Jin Xun'er giggled.

"Ahh

A big golden spider jumped out of the cold, and it could also speak human words, and the rest of the soldiers were frightened. Hong Yi immediately shook the sword in his hand and roared in a low voice: "Don't panic, this is the official's golden spider, a psychic demon fairy, who can drive away hundreds of insects, with her, let's move forward, and we will no longer be afraid of poisonous insects and poisonous snake bites!

Many soldiers also quieted down, and when they heard Hong Yi's words, they were even more overjoyed, and they all cheered up.

"That Wei Lei's team, without the Golden Spider, even if it is a martial arts master, I'm afraid it will be injured a lot. Shen Tiezhu said in a humming voice.

"That's for sure. Jin Xun'er said triumphantly.

At this moment, the two mastiff lion kings who opened the road in front of them roared lowly.

"Five miles ahead, there is a water source. Chi Chaiyang understood the mastiff king's low roar.

"Map!" Hong Yi stretched out his hand, Xiao Mu took out the map from the bag, Hong Yi looked at it carefully, and pointed to a mark on the map. "Since it is a water source, then in front of it is the snake canyon of Giant Whale Island, and after the snake canyon, it is a plain of about ten miles, and in the middle of the plain, there is a pirate cottage and fortress. ”

"Okay, let's go!"

The team continued to move forward, and the speed accelerated a lot, and along the way, the golden spider released its breath, and all the poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, etc., were avoided cleanly, very smoothly.

After walking for about half an hour, suddenly a huge canyon and stream appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Suddenly, the mastiff king's hair stood on end!

"Everyone, pay attention, there is an ambush in the canyon!" Chi Chaiyang said in a low voice.
