Xu Xing turned around and walked to the edge of the cliff and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, blow the horn." ”

Several pirate men shouted their promises, untied the horns on their waists, and lined up to blow their cheeks on the opposite island.

"Woo woo, woo woo." The long horn was sent far to the opposite island, and sure enough, in a moment, the top of the giant pillar of the reef reacted, and the big black flag danced as if in response.

"Woooooooooo The sound of the horn became rapid, giving the impression of impending battle. At the same time, I saw that the ant-like crowd on the huge stone pillar on the opposite side suddenly disappeared, and they all hid in the black holes. A moment later, there was movement at the mouth of the cave, and countless bloody things were scattered on the surrounding sea.

Gao Muqing frowned and said, "What is this for?" ”

"The tall village master, please wait a while, and we'll see you in a while." Xu Xing stroked his beard and smiled.

Everyone stood dumbfounded, and Gao Muqing also looked at the other side silently, not knowing what would happen. Suddenly, someone pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted, "Here it is, here it is." ”

Gao Muqing followed the direction of their fingers and set her eyes on the sea, and then she was surprised to find that countless black dots were coming rapidly under the sea, and the black dorsal fins reflected the light in the sun, like sails riding the wind and waves. But it wasn't just small boats, but countless sharks from the sea that swam swiftly beneath the surface.

"These are sharks, we call them sea tigers, these guys are violent, fierce, and unusually fierce, they are the tigers of the sea. The difference is that large insects are rare and do not congregate in the interior, while the sea tigers here are extremely numerous. What was left behind just now was some flesh and blood, these guys have a keen nose and smell, and they can smell blood from dozens of miles away, no, they come when they smell it. There are really a lot of people coming today, I'm afraid there are hundreds of them. Xu Xing introduced in a deep voice.

Where has Gao Muqing seen this, and he suddenly felt novel. But I don't understand what these guys are doing to lure these sea tigers to come, and what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd.

"The show is about to begin, tall village master, don't blink." Hai Dongqing laughed.

But seeing hundreds of sharks coming quickly, they instantly gathered on the sea surface on both sides of the opposite island, and the water splashed and became a mess when they scramble for the flesh and blood that were thrown down. There was a loud horn sound from the opposite stone pillar, and in just an instant, countless javelin arrows shot out from the dense caves on the huge pillar of the reef, like a huge porcupine suddenly shooting dense thorns all over its body, and when the arrows and javelins were fired, a layer of dark clouds seemed to suddenly cover the island.

The next moment, countless arrows and pike darts fell on the surface of the sea, and the sharks were competing for their prey, but in an instant they became prey, and almost every shark was hit by arrows and javelins, and blood suddenly gushed out, dyeing the clear blue sea a blood-red color. Under the sun, the blood-red sea was churning, countless sharks were struggling, horns were roaring, pirates were shouting, and Hai Dongqing's piercing laughter sounded in his ears, all of which made Gao Muqing a little dizzy and a little disgusting.

The scene just now made her see the strength of the defense on the opposite island, and with the rain of arrows and the projection of pike darts just now, no one was spared on the sea within a radius of hundreds of paces. This is enough to show that although it is a small island, there are at least three or four thousand islands stationed within that stone pillar, and they are all equipped with long-range attack weapons such as bows, arrows, shuttles, and darts. It was in this way that Hai Dongqing told himself that it was a dream to capture that small island.

Under such terrain, in the middle of the blue sea, it is not easy to capture an ordinary island, let alone such an island defender who occupies an absolute geographical advantage and is equipped with so many long-range weapons. The hard pillars of rock are their best armor, and even if the attackers have ranged weapons, they can't shake the pirates hiding in the caves, and if they do, they will only be beaten.

As the sea subsided, countless sharks had already floated on the surface with their bellies turned up, most of them had been shot, and the few lucky ones who were left to feast on them. Hundreds of boats sped from nowhere to the place where the sharks were floating, and soon each boat was fully loaded, and the sharks were pulled back to the island.

"Gao Dazhai master, please eat shark fin today. On the land, only the emperor, the old son, the princes, and the officials can afford to eat the expensive things, but we are tired of eating them here. Send a few baskets to your people in the evening so that you can have enough to eat. Hai Dongqing laughed.

Gao Muqing slowly came back to his senses from the shock, sighed and involuntarily looked at Lin Jue in the distance behind him. She thought that Lin Jue must have been shocked by the scene just now, and she must have been shocked by the bandits' layout and force. However, what she saw was that on the side of a rock dozens of steps away, Lin Jue was leaning lazily there, as if he didn't care about everything just now. However, the young island lord Jiang Jinfu was foaming at the mouth and talking to Lin Jue, but Lin Jue seemed to only have a match to deal with the previous sentence.

In fact, from the very beginning, Lin Jue chatted with the young island master. Hai Dongqing and the others walked in front, Jiang Jinfu and Lin Jue followed from a distance surrounded by a group of people, Lin Jue deliberately slowed down, so that he could be farther away from Hai Dongqing and the others in front, so that he could speak more casually.

Everywhere he went, Jiang Jinfu boasted to Lin Jue quite complacently: "How? What is the view of our island? It's not worse than Hangzhou, it's not worse than the emperor's Bianliang City. ”

Lin Jue poured cold water on him mercilessly.

"It's ugly."

"It's dirty."

"It stinks to death, I see a lump of."

"What's so nice about that? My little yard is much better than here. ”

Jiang Jin was so angry that he couldn't wait to beat Lin Jue out of anger, this kid really didn't know how to be a man, except for fighting with himself, this kid didn't say a good word.

Finally, after experiencing too much belittling, when Lin Jue casually praised a scene, Jiang Jinfu was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly introduced the scenery mentioned by Lin Jue. But Lin Jue's topic was inadvertently inquiring about the news.

For example, Lin Jue would point to a large group of arrow towers on the cliff wall in the distance and praise: "It should be good there, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset on those pagodas, the scene is really magnificent." ”

Jiang Jinfu really fell for it, and laughed at Lin Jue's slip of the tongue first.

"That's not a pagoda, you really haven't seen the world, it's an arrow tower and a watchtower, okay?"

Next, the topic will unfold, and Lin Jue will ask: "Ah, it turned out to be the Arrow Tower, but I was lonely and unheard." But what are those cliffs doing with so many arrow towers? Do you have nothing to do with shooting fish and birds? ”

Jiang Jinfu would laugh at Lin Jue's ignorance, and then explain: "You know a fart, the pier below is the landing island, and the arrow tower is for defense." Not only that, but there are thousands of soldiers and horses in ambush in the woods next to it. If someone dares to attack my Peach Blossom Island and wants to come ashore, it will be a dead end. ”

Lin Jue pretended to be stunned and praised the young island master. What followed was another cycle, first belittling, then pretending to be stupid, causing the young island owner to laugh at him and then reveal more secrets. It is in this way that Lin Jue accumulates his cognition of Peach Blossom Island little by little. Of course, the active cooperation of this young island owner is indispensable.

Jiang Jinfu is not a fool, he is not unaware of these confidential things that cannot be told to others. But on the one hand, he was very dissatisfied with Lin Jue's attitude, this kid was unashamed to speak out, and always wanted to belittle Peach Blossom Island, which made Jiang Jinfu very unhappy. Therefore, when he caught Lin Jue's language disease, he naturally wanted to ridicule him.

On the other hand, Jiang Jinfu really didn't attach much importance to secrecy, because he felt that there was no need to keep it secret from a person who was going to die. This Lin Jue still has more than ten days to live, what is it to keep it secret from him? Even if he told him all the secrets of the island, and wiped them ten days later, not all of these secrets would rot along with the kid's corpse. So he didn't really care too much about the advice of Hai Dongqing and others.

Because of this, in this dual mentality of paralyzing carelessness and immaturity, he was intentionally and unintentionally tricked out by Lin Jue or took the initiative to say a lot of important information about the copycat. For example, the troop strength on Peach Blossom Island, the troop deployment and defense strategy of several landing docks, the ship deployment of bandits on the island, and so on. And Lin Jue naturally kept these in his heart, and even Lin Jue was a little skeptical that this guy was lying to himself, because he was so detailed that Lin Jue didn't dare to believe it too much, but he needed to pretend to argue and confirm it.

When he arrived at the east of the island, after witnessing the connection with the extra-long rope bridge between the island and the island in front of him, and the defenders on the island showing their means, Jiang Jinfu saw that Lin Jue was speechless, and he was very proud in his heart. He thought that Lin Jue must have been shocked and had nothing to say. But Jiang Jinfu was very happy to fight with Lin Jue all the way, and when he was full of energy, he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to hit Lin Jue, so he talked to Lin Jue proudly.

"How? I'm scared silly. You have seen the pattern of the east of my Peach Blossom Island, and the combat effectiveness of my brothers on the island. Hahaha, did you pee your pants in fear? Look at the posture just now, but if someone dares to step into a hundred steps of the island, no one will survive. Hey, talk, why don't you talk? Tell me, which family can have such bravery? Which cottage can be as solid as my Peach Blossom Island cottage? ”

Lin Jue was indeed amazed by the scene he had just witnessed. If nothing else, it is extremely difficult for this cross-sea rope bridge to be built on this scale in this year. Not to mention the complete transformation of the island on the opposite side into a giant arrow tower armed to the teeth. This arrow tower alone can control the field of vision within a radius of tens of miles, and it can also block the sea surface in the east of the island. Because the landing pier on the east side of the island is facing the island, it is under the protection of the island. Any attempt to land on the island from the island's east pier will not be able to bypass the island on the other side. The ingenious coordination of the terrain can be described as a masterpiece.

However, Lin Jue was not too worried about this. After all, there are several docks on the island that you can get to, so you don't have to choose this place. Moreover, Lin Jue felt that the bandits were a little stupid, once this rope bridge was burned, the connection between the small island and the main island would be interrupted, which meant that they could only stay alone on the small island and could not form support for Peach Blossom Island. In that case, it is equivalent to throwing thousands of troops into the island in vain, and once a soldier or horse lands on Peach Blossom Island, they can only watch.

However, the tall stone pillar is decisive for the control of the surrounding vision, which is not only an early warning, but also can be used to predict the direction of the opponent's attack in advance, so that the deployment of troops can be made accordingly and the battle situation can be fully controlled. The role of this in combat is enormous. In the early years, commanding operations and grasping the overall situation often relied on occupying the commanding heights and being able to give better orders. Even if the battle is on flat ground, the army often builds high platforms or towers, and military orders will be quickly conveyed through the flags or lights on the high platforms, so the opposite island is indeed like a tall mast on a large ship, which can guide the direction of the battle and issue the most reasonable orders during battle.
