Countless arrows swept across the sea with a howling sound, and the target was the pirates and horses who were constantly joining the warbands in the rear. Arrows rained down, and the pirates were already densely numbered, and they suffered heavy casualties after being shot by the rain of arrows. Many people were hit by arrows and rolled down the stone steps, knocking down the bandits who were not hit by the arrows, and they rolled down the steep stone steps one after another, screaming and cursing endlessly.

Seeing this, the reinforcements in the rear shouted and turned and ran to the top of the cliff, where bows and arrows could not reach, and it was a safe place.

However, Xu Xing personally led people to guard the top of the cliff and forbade the bandits to escape to the top of the cliff. Hundreds of bandits waited with big knives, and whoever dared to turn back was a knife, which forcibly prevented the bandits from escaping.

"Rush down, rush in front of the officers and soldiers, their bows and arrows will not shoot at the place of battle, understand? If you want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to rush forward. Those who retreat will be killed. ”

Xu Xing pointed out the key point in one sentence, as the number two person among the bandits, he was respected by Haidong Qing as a military advisor, and he was naturally not an ordinary person. He had already seen the other party's movements, their arrows were high and far, and they even did not hesitate to waste a large number of arrows to shoot at the bottom of the cliff, naturally for fear of accidentally injuring their own soldiers. Therefore, rushing into the warband is the wisest thing to do. If reinforcements are blocked, the beach will be quickly wiped out, and the beach and dock will be completely lost.

The pirates had no choice but to muster up the courage to charge again. Braving the rain of arrows and rushing madly to the battlefield. Although many people did not succeed, many more succeeded in joining the warband, and sure enough, the arrows swept overhead, and none of them landed here. As a result, the pressure on the officers and men who rushed to the beach doubled. The bandits rushed madly, twice as many as themselves, and suddenly the number of casualties increased suddenly.

While killing the enemy, Wang Kai ordered people to raise a banner and ask for rapid reinforcements from the rear. Song Yanping immediately gave the order to stop archery, and at the same time 3,000 soldiers jumped into the sea and rushed towards the beach for reinforcements.

……

When the battle was scorching on the dock beach, Hai Dongqing led a thousand guards to quickly cross the woods path to the top of the east cliff. Half an hour later, more than a thousand people rushed to the cliff in a breathless manner.

Hundreds of pirates were still busy repairing the ropeway, and dozens of soldiers on the rope bridge were wriggling on the ground, slowly crawling to the opposite side with ropes. In the past two hours, they have not yet been able to complete the construction of the ropeway.

Hai Dongqing was disappointed, according to this situation, it may not be possible to complete the construction in another hour. After that, it will take a lot of time to transport the arrows, and will the battlefield in the northwest last so long?

"What about the big ship? How many of our big ships are there? Hai Dongqing shouted loudly.

"They are all docked in the windy harbor on the north side of the island of Otori on the other side, didn't the Holy Father say that no one can use the big ship without your order? Besides, those ships can't withstand the waves. Donkey Kong Meng Xiang shouted.

"Damn, when, why don't you use a big boat? Quickly raise the flag to Kan Ping, and ask him to send a big ship over immediately. The rope was carried by a large ship. Hai Dongqing scolded.

The flag quickly conveyed the order to the bandits on the top of Otorishima, and after anxious waiting, three large ships finally slowly appeared in the harbor north of Otorishima. These three ships are the only three large ships on Peach Blossom Island. This is what Hai Dongqing used as a flagship command operation in the future, so no one dared to use it, and it has been parked in the natural leeward harbor north of Big Bird Island. Although Otorishima Island is a small island of Danmaru, the tall stone pillars provide shelter from the wind and rain, and a small harbor in the north is calm regardless of the wind and waves, and only these three large ships can be stopped.

The pirates really don't know how to be flexible, and Hai Dongqing himself has forgotten about this stubble. In fact, if you use a big boat earlier, you can transport the rope through the big boat and then straighten and erect it, which can save a lot of time. It's a pity that they didn't think of this from top to bottom.

Even large ships are cautious when navigating the rough sea with narrow waves between the two lanes. A big ship was improperly operated, and it was directly overturned in the sea by the cross waves, which caused Hai Dongqing to jump to his feet and scold.

The other two took half an hour to finally land. The bandits picked up the ropes from the boats, and hundreds of people dragged them up to the top of the cliff, and then began to fix the ropeway. Hai Dongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, this ropeway is fate, but I don't know how the war is going at the dock, after all, it has been more than an hour since the war started, and it is too late for all this.

……

On the northwest pier of Peach Blossom Island, a fierce battle for more than an hour has made the situation clear. After a steady stream of officers and soldiers boarded the beach pier for reinforcements, the pirates were already in a desperate situation. Nearly 7,000 people were mobilized to plunge down the beach and pester the officers and men, and the pirates paid a huge price. Of the 7,000 remained, less than 3,000 remained, and the beach was crowded with corpses and wounded. On the other hand, although the officers and men who attacked the island suffered more than 1,000 casualties, they had already completely occupied the beach and the pier, and compressed the pirates in a small area under the stone steps leading to the top of the cliff.

If it weren't for the narrow terrain here and the lack of scope for engagement, and the only way to engage the pirates with some soldiers and horses, I am afraid that all the more than 3,000 pirates would have been strangled on the beach. But even so, these more than 3,000 people will not last long.

Xu Xing was anxiously following the war, and he didn't have many people on hand. On the top of the cliff, there are less than 2,000 people left as a new force. These two thousand people are archers, they are used to wait for Hai Dongqing's arrows to arrive and prepare to turn the tide of the battle, these two thousand people must not rush down to fight, he actually has no troops to reinforce below. According to this posture, more than 3,000 people below will soon die, and the big thing will go.

"Hurry up and report to the island owner, this place is almost unbearable, please ask the island owner to transport arrows immediately, or it may turn the tide of the war." Xu Xing anxiously ordered the guards beside him, and in his anxiety, he even forgot to call Hai Dongqing a holy prince.

Several pirates immediately rushed to the east of the island to ask for help, and when they rushed to the top of the cliff on the east side of the island out of breath, they were stunned by the situation in front of them. The rope bridge that straddles the two islands has broken like a dead snake perched on a cliff wall, undulating at one end in the waves of the sea. The two large ships were full of people, and they were slowly heading towards the opposite side of Big Bird Island.

Several pirates who asked for help immediately rushed to the dock at the bottom of the cliff, only to see dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and hundreds of pirates jumping towards the big ship on the sea and cursing angrily, and foul language came out one after another. What they scolded was actually Hai Dongqing, the island owner who was revered as a god.

"Brother, what's going on? Why did the bridge break? What about the owner? ”

"Damn it, an unrighteous old dog, when he was in danger, he ran away with someone. Leave us alone. We were going to board the ship, they said the ship could not be loaded, and cut and killed dozens of brothers who wanted to board the ship. The old dog fled for his life. When he heard that the dock could not be guarded, he immediately ran. I have eight generations of ancestors. ”

“……”

Several guards were stunned and speechless, they never expected that the respected island owner, the almighty Holy Father, would actually do such a thing. He ran to the opposite island, taking his personal escort with him. He cut the rope bridge, cutting off any possibility of landing on Big Bird Island. There were 3,000 men on Big Bird Island, plus the men he had brought with him, enough to resist the attack. In order to save his life, the owner of the island abandoned the brothers of the leaders on Peach Blossom Island. The poor military advisor is still struggling to support it, still waiting for him to bring supplies to reinforcements. What a righteous man.

When the news reached the battlefield again, Xu Xing was speechless for a long time. Looking at the officers and soldiers below who had already attacked the middle of the stone steps, Xu Xing let out a long sigh.

When the catastrophe came, they flew separately, and in vain they were so loyal to him, he actually deceived himself, and actually smeared oil on the soles of his feet and escaped. After decades of brotherhood, Hai Dongqing escaped, and there was nothing left. This person's true face was finally revealed, he was a ruthless villain, and he wasted more than 20 years of time assisting him, and finally ended up like this.

Xu Xing naturally refused to stay here any longer, as long as the people on this island surrendered, they might be able to live, but they couldn't. Not to mention that the murder and bloodshed before he fell into the grass was already a capital crime, he has been the second person on Peach Blossom Island after Hai Dongqing for so many years, and this identity alone is enough for him to be Ling Chi ten times. He can't wait here to die.

The news has not yet been known to everyone, so everyone is not aware of it. Xu Xing told everyone that the island owner had arrived with reinforcements from the arrows and the three thousand brothers on the Big Bird Island, and that he would soon turn the tide of the war. Under this bewitchment, two thousand archers also swarmed into the gap. But Xu Xing took advantage of the unpreparedness and quietly disappeared in the bushes beside him.

Xu Xing's disappearance was soon discovered, and soon someone began to shout: "Brothers, the island owner has run away, and the military advisor has also run away, what are we fighting for?" Run for your life. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was chaos all of a sudden. Several leaders quickly proved the news correct, and in the midst of a loud scolding, the crowd began to flee in all directions. After the tea, Wang Kai was the first to hit the top of the cliff and really set foot on the land of Peach Blossom Island. After that, 7,000 officers and soldiers quickly went up the cliff and landed on the island, and under the command of Song Yanping and Guo Kun, they either occupied the barracks or pursued and killed the scattered and fleeing pirates.

The general trend of the bandits is gone, and the war is a foregone conclusion.
