Chapter 1312: Hidden Enemy

The sun was in the sky, the wind was beautiful, and at noon, the Dongjiang Army was ready to launch an all-out attack on the Batangas Peninsula under Chen Jisheng's order.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

To the sound of war drums, a hundred hot air balloons propelled over the peninsula and over the sand into the woodlands. The soldiers of the landing operations that followed also set foot safely on the beaches of the peninsula. Everything seemed to be going too well, there was no attack in between, and it was not good to be too safe on the battlefield.

Chen Jisheng put down the telescope in his hand and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this gang of Yi people is quite scheming, and they actually know how to avoid our edge!" ”

"And are we going to go ahead with our plan now?" Chen Qiyue has become very cautious at this moment due to his previous mistakes, and he does not dare to act rashly.

"In the face of our absolute strength, no matter how much scheming we have, it will not help. Pass my orders and start attacking! Chen Jisheng sneered and ordered.

"Boom ......"

With Chen Jisheng's order, the hot air balloon that flew over the woodland first began to drop the gunpowder jar. In the dense explosion, countless birds in the forest were startled, and under the fierce attack, the woodland collapsed countless times.

The hot air balloon opened the way in front, and the army then advanced slowly, and the coordination between the air and the ground was perfect. But to the surprise of all the Dongjiang troops, under such a fierce bombardment, they still did not encounter any resistance. It was as if this woodland was a dead place, and not a single shadow of the Yiren was to be seen.

"Brother, we have been attacking for half an hour, but we don't see a single trace of the Yi people, could it be that these Yi people have fled?" Chen Qiyue frowned and asked.

"No way, we've figured it out before we go to war. There is a gang of Yi people hiding on this peninsula, and now they are nowhere to be seen, which only proves that they are afraid of our hot air balloon bombardment. After Chen Jisheng finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the deck, only to see countless gunpowder jars constantly being loaded with hot air balloons.

Seeing this, he cracked his teeth and smiled: "The gunpowder we brought this time is enough to bomb this Batangas Peninsula, big brother doesn't have to care about it at all, just watch it with peace of mind." Sooner or later, these people will have to run out to fight us, and if they dare to show their heads, they will die without a place to be buried! ”

Hearing this, Chen Qi's heart became more and more relaxed, and he nodded in agreement: "What my brother said is very true!" ”

The Dongjiang Army's advance was slow, but steady, and the hot air balloons in the air were responsible for bombing the way. The army on the ground then pounced on it, searching every inch of land, sparing no blind spots.

At this time, at the highest peak of the highest mountain range on the peninsula, four figures were hidden under the boulder, quietly staring at the advancing Dongjiang Army in the distance.

"The sect leader is like a god, this Dongjiang army really bombed us with hot air balloons." A general with a full beard and a decorated face said with a smile to Bai Jiang beside him.

After Bai Jiang was defeated in the battle of Fucheng in Guangzhou, he knew that there was no hope of a comeback in the Ming Dynasty. He abandoned everything and fled back to Luzon alone, and after staying in Luzon for a few days to find out that Luzon's lair was also banned by the Dongjiang Army. As soon as he was ruthless, he began to contact the Yi people, cooperated with the Yi people, gathered back the scattered and fled subordinates, and was embarrassed to fight with the Yi people and prepare to take revenge on Mao Wenlong.

Chen Qiyue's ambush was Bai Jiang's masterpiece, and the success of this attack convinced the Yi people of Bai Jiang. After the Yiren learned that the Dongjiang army was coming to encircle and suppress, they listened to Baijiang's plan and did not confront the Dongjiang army head-on.

"General Jack, this religion has fought dozens of battles with the Dongjiang Army, and each has won or lost. What the Dongjiang Army relies on the most, this religion is naturally clear. Although my Sun Moon Sect has fallen into such a state today, it is not powerless to fight back. What we lack now is the firearms to confront the Dongjiang Army, and as long as the general can get enough firearms, the Dongjiang Army has nothing to worry about. Bai Jiang's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he roared in a deep voice.

Fucheng was completely defeated in the first battle of Baijiang, but he did not admit defeat in his heart, and he thought that he would only lose to Mao Wenlong's firearms. Now he only needs to get a firearm that can fight against the Dongjiang Army, and he will definitely be able to defeat Mao Wenlong.

"Rest assured, Sect Master, General Ben has sent out a wide invitation, and in a few days he will be able to meet with the other forces at sea. At that time, everything the Sect Master needs will naturally be in place, and as long as the Sect Master can defeat the Dongjiang Army, we will definitely support you unreservedly. General Yiren said heroically.

Bai Jiang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the Dongjiang army that had advanced to the halfway point of the mountain and said to Jack: "This place is not suitable for a long time, we can withdraw." ”

Jack didn't say much, he nodded and hurriedly left with Bai Jiang and their henchmen.

Half a day passed, and the Dongjiang Army advanced to the top of the highest peak, and there was no way to continue advancing at this time. In desperation, Chen Jisheng could only order the army to form a defense on the spot, and the whole army was on alert, waiting for dawn before continuing the attack.

In the command room of the treasure ship, the lights were bright, and Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyue had just had dinner and began to study on the map. Half of the mountain was beaten down in half a day, and half of the Batangas Peninsula had fallen under the control of the Dongjiang Army. This was originally something worth celebrating, but now Chen Qiyu and Chen Jisheng couldn't be happy.

Because of the fight for half a day, it was smooth but did not suffer any counterattack, let alone see any Yiren. Obviously, this situation is not good, either the Yi people are hiding too deeply, or the Yi people have quietly fled long before the arrival of the Dongjiang army.

Chen Qiyue frowned to break the silence in the command room: "Dashuai, will we work in vain?" ”

After fighting for a long time, he didn't even see the figure of an enemy, which made Chen Qiyue very confused. At this moment, he already suspected in his heart that the enemy had already run away, and he wanted to persuade Chen Jisheng to change his plan tomorrow, but he was afraid that there would be any unexpected situation at that time. For a while, Chen Qiyue was very entangled in his heart, and could only cast an inquiring look at Chen Jisheng.

Chen Jisheng can't make up his mind now, judging by his experience in marching for so many years, if the enemy is still hiding on the peninsula. This will definitely be unable to sit still, at least the Dongjiang Army can find some clues. But the reality is that the Dongjiang Army has not found anything, and it seems that the enemy has really fled.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jisheng gritted his teeth and said: "The plan remains the same, and the army is still advancing slowly to prevent the enemy from ambushing." But tomorrow we can send a few hot air balloons for aerial reconnaissance to make sure nothing goes wrong. ”

Chen Qiyue was silent for a moment, and finally responded with a sigh: "It seems that it can only be like this, although it will waste manpower and material resources, it is the most appropriate way." ”

Chen Jisheng nodded, and the two discussed the details again, and then dispersed, waiting for the dawn to come!
