Eighty miles northwest of the isolated island where Lin Jue and Gao Muqing were, in the dark night rain, an army of more than two hundred large ships was quietly approaching an island in front of them in the waves. That island is the first island in the northwest direction to which the Peach Blossom Island bandits belong, and it is called Crescent Island.

More than 200 large ships were under light control, and all the ships were hidden in the sea in the dark, like a group of wolves waiting for an opportunity to attack in the dark. Located in the sea behind the fleet, a huge dragon-headed ship surged up and down in the waves. A thick curtain obscured the light in the ship's hall, and several pale figures sat on chairs that tossed up and down.

These people are the little prince Guo Kun, the prefect of Hangzhou Yan Zhengsu and the commander of the Ning Navy Song Yanping. The dragon-headed ship of the prince is the strongest, and it is more suitable as the flagship of the command at this moment, because the bumps are slightly better, and it will never sink. Even so, Yan Zhengsu and Xiao Wang Ye and others on the ship vomited in a dark place, and their faces were pale.

A few days ago, when Yan Zhengsu and Guo Kun rushed to Putuo Island with dozens of large ships, they joined the 8,000 naval forces of the Ning Navy. The mighty fleet was just about to set off, and this hurricane swept in.

Everyone was worried, although they accepted Lin Jue's plan, it would take some courage for them to brave the wind and waves when the hurricane came. But soon, they found out that Lin Jue's words were not false at all. Although in the wind and waves, the big ships tilted up and down and seemed to be about to fall apart at any time, but none of the more than 200 big ships capsized at sea, and the only thing that capsized was the stomach of these naval soldiers. But I'm used to spitting and spitting.

Many people originally didn't believe in Lin Jue's risky plan, but after witnessing all this, they had to admire Lin Jue's idea. After using a dozen small boats to simulate a pirate ship attacking a large ship, and watching them capsize on the sea, everyone was dismissed. So the little prince discussed with Yan Zhengsu, Song Yanping, Wang Kai and others and decided to immediately send troops to Taohua Island and land on the island to exterminate the sea bandits three or four days before the center of the hurricane.

After a day and a night of continuous sailing, they finally reached the sea northwest of Crescent Island in the middle of the night. This first island is the gateway to Peach Blossom Island, and it must be taken quickly as a springboard for advancing and retreating. The essence of Lin Jue's so-called 'frog jumping tactic' is that after taking down all the islands in the northwest of Peach Blossom Island, he controls the sea area northwest of Peach Blossom Island, and even when the wind and waves are calm, he does not have to worry about the bandits ambushing the fleet. What's more, taking the islands would give the army a foothold at any time, which is extremely important in the event of a fickle hurricane.

In the hall of the dragon-headed ship, the result has been achieved, and this time Ning Haijun will try it first. There are more than 1,200 defenders on Crescent Island, which is really not a small number. Song Yanping, the commander of the Ning Navy, decided to personally command the landing operation.

In the wind and rain, Yan Zhengsu, Guo Kun and others came to the bow deck one after another. The waves roared like devils on the dark sea, and the ships rose and fell, and the people standing on the deck hill had to hold on to the masts and lamp poles to hold their bodies. Yan Zhengsu was surrounded by two personal entourage, one on the left and one on the right, protecting him tightly. Prevent him from falling on the deck and tumbling into the sea.

"Someone! Turn on the lights. Song Yanping stood in front of the bow of the ship, the rain crackling against his armor. The hurricane blew his black mantle up and whistled behind him the sound of hunting.

A wind lantern staggered along the pole, the light of the wind lantern was not much brighter than a firefly in such a dark night, but it was like a lighthouse in the fog, and it was clearly seen by all the ships within a radius of miles. For he is the only light in the darkness.

In just an instant, near the island in front, more than a dozen warships also raised wind lanterns, which was a response to the dragon-headed ship. The second and third wind lanterns continued to rise, and the three wind lanterns were hung at the same time, which was the signal of the attack of the Ning Navy and the navy. Ahead, Ning Haijun is in command, and Wang Kai has already given the order to attack Crescent Island.

Seven or eight large ships rushed in the darkness to the lighted place on the north side of Crescent Island, which was the landing pier on the north side of Crescent Island. The topography of Crescent Island is spread out like a big pancake in the water, and the trees are green, but there are not many steep places. In fact, there are many places to visit the island, and it is not limited to this place. However, in order to prevent encountering the facilities that hindered the landing of the island in the hidden piles arranged underwater, Wang Kai still decided to attack the pier directly.

The ships lit up on the sea were soon spotted by the pirates on the island, and when they were so stunned, the horns and gongs sounded incessantly, and suddenly the torches on the island were shining, and hundreds of pirates quickly gathered above the pier.

The leader of the garrison on Crescent Island is Tong Ren, the master of Jiuzhai on Peach Blossom Island, this old Jiu is very important to Haidong Qing, and he is brave in battle. Many attacks and hijackings at sea were the first of these old nine strikes. Two days ago, he received a message from Peach Blossom Island, saying that he was asking him to strictly guard against the sneak attack of the Ning Navy, Tong Laojiu was very unimpressed, because the news came when the wind and rain were raging, and Tong Laojiu refused to believe that the Ning Navy would attack when the hurricane was coming, it was a joke. So Tong Ren left Hai Dongqing's warning behind him and didn't care at all. But at this moment, when he saw the lights of the ships dotted on the sea, he realized how stupid he was.

There are no floating wooden arrays on the sea, which are a form of defense by weaving huge driftwood into a net and scattering around the perimeter of the island. The sand box blocking the channel in front of the pier did not sink, which was also a measure to prevent the island from attacking, that is, a large wooden box full of gravel was sunk in front of the pier to prevent the ship from approaching the pier, and the wooden box was dismantled afterwards, and the sand and gravel were scattered into the sea. All measures have not been carried out, and the opponent has already attacked.

Tong Ren desperately commanded the pirates to defend the dock, but the bandits' greatest ability was at sea, they could use grappling hooks and harpoons to cross and horizontally, they could swim on the mast with the power of ropes, and they could shuttle on the bottom of the sea like fish, scuttling the opponent's ship. But if you want them to stand on the shore and defend, they have no rules.

The rain of arrows shot indiscriminately at the sea ships approaching the dock, but the Ning Navy and sailors, who had been on guard for a long time, had already held up a big shield to cover them tightly. The ordinary rockets fired out quickly disappeared in the air like meteors, and were doused by the rain before they landed on the ship. All defenses are in vain.

The two large ships of the Ning Navy crashed into the driftwood by the dock with a bang, and the next moment, a huge wooden plank jumped off the dock. Countless Ning Navy soldiers rushed over the gangplank and onto the dock. At first, the pirates shot and killed more than 100 soldiers, but soon they had to fight hand-to-hand. One after another, the big ships docked one after another, and more than 2,000 Ning Navy soldiers on more than a dozen ships poured onto the dock like a tide, and the pirates could not resist at all.

Tong Ren knew that the general situation was gone, and at the same time that a large number of soldiers and horses had landed, he had already fled to the south with a dozen followers. From the pier to the south, a small boat boarded with the intention of escaping the island. However, their ship was overturned by a strong wave just over a hundred steps from the shore, and Tong Ren had to flee back to the island like a dog.

At this time, the entire island has been plunged into an all-out battle. Although the Ning Navy Navy is not an elite soldier, they still have many victories compared to the bandits. Not the same in terms of equipment, at least. The navy army has a standard armor and blades, while the pirates have no armor, and it is self-evident that they put it together.

After only half an hour, the pirates collapsed. The roars of the Ning Navy chasing and killing their opponents were all over the mountains, and the pirates fled one after another, some fled to the sea regardless of the danger, and some lurked in the cracks of the rocks or grass on the side of the island, hoping to escape. It took less than an hour for the battle on the island to come to an end.

Tong Ren was killed in battle, and the last thing he did before dying was to light the beacon tower on the island that was used to transmit messages. The whole house was filled with firewood and grass and burned like a giant torch, or like an erupting volcano on the island. The purpose of this was to warn the defenders on the two islands to the southeast, which was his last contribution to the Peach Blossom Island cottage.

The first battle was won, which made the little prince Guo Kun and Yan Zhengsu Song Yanping happy high-fives. Taking the Crescent Island will have the first foothold. From this base, you can gradually conquer the lower islands one by one.

"Without further ado, the fire on the island is already a warning signal, we cannot delay, we should immediately attack the next island." Guo Kun rubbed his hands.

"What does the little prince mean?" Song Yanping heard Guo Kun's eagerness to try.

"I mean, the next island will be taken by the guards of my palace, so that these bandits can taste the power of my Liang Palace. Twenty years ago, they were driven out of the sea, and twenty years later, Liang Wangfu still has to go to the sea to clean them up. Guo Kun said loudly.

Song Yanping frowned and looked at Yan Zhengsu for advice, Yan Zhengsu thought about it and stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man agrees, and Song Commander will send several naval ships to fight together." The hundreds of bandits on the next island are no match for the little prince. ”

Song Yanping immediately realized that there were only a few hundred soldiers and horses on the next island, and solemnly pointed out this to tell himself not to worry. Now if you don't let the little prince play, do you want him to gnaw hard bones?

"Okay, little prince, I will personally lead the troops and horses for you to help and cheer for you." Song Yanping laughed.
