"General, look!" A person beside General Du raised his hand and pointed to Cao Ke and the others who were rushing towards them on the waves, and shouted loudly: "The enemy has already begun to move!"

After a brief observation of Cao Ke and the masters of Cao Mansion led by Cao Ke, General Du couldn't help but gasp, and his heart was already half cold: "Judging from the speed and posture of these people, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps! This can have more than 100 people, right? If these 100 or so people all rush ashore, I am afraid that these people who are now on the beach will not be able to be people's opponents at all......

Thinking of this, General Du hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone obeys the order and immediately retreats backwards! Pack up the remnants, occupy favorable terrain, and form a defensive formation to jointly defend! The strength of the enemy's attack this time is far superior to ours, and we can't meet head-on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, General Du didn't wait for his subordinates to react, and he directly totoed a little bit, and rushed towards the rear!

When General Du left, how could these masters under him still have the heart to continue the war? They all turned around, followed General Du's footsteps, and quickly retreated, and the beach, which was still relatively lively before, instantly became empty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On Cao Ke's side, the eldest grandson Ling, who had been galloping beside Cao Ke, had already noticed this change on the beach, so he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the beach, and said to Cao Ke: "Brother Ke, why didn't the enemy resist and prevent us from landing on the shore, but retreated like that?"

Cao Ke smiled: "This commander of the enemy really has some eyesight! According to my estimates, he estimated the specific combat strength of our side in a very short time, and felt that these people on the shore alone would not be able to stop us from landing on the shore, so he retreated and retreated...... What we have to face next is an even more difficult battle......"

"Attacking a tough battle?" Eldest Sun Ling frowned in confusion, and said with some confusion: "Why is it a tough battle? The enemy has been cleaned up by our artillery fire, and now is the time when the morale is low, and the strength of our side is indeed stronger than theirs, how can we talk about attacking the fortified position?"

Cao Ke shook his head and said: "Soldiers, fickle, the way to win or lose, does not completely depend on the real strength of the enemy and us, since ancient times, the classic examples of winning more with less, defeating the strong with the weak abound, today's enemy, although as Ling'er said, strength, morale are at a low point, but this does not mean that we will definitely win the victory of this battle, if the enemy commander can find a way to turn his men into a mourning army, our side will have some trouble......"

Cao Ke said simply, plus Changsun Ling didn't know anything about military war command, so the little girl still had the incomprehensible expression just now, but Changsun Ling didn't continue to ask, because she had already seen that Cao Ke's expression at this time had become a little heavy, maybe Cao Ke was thinking about how to deal with the enemy who had become a mourning soldier?...... Eldest Sun Ling really didn't want to disturb Cao Ke at this juncture.

Not long after, under the leadership of Cao Ke, the Cao family's 100 or so masters successfully landed on the beach, Cao Ke did not let everyone go directly into the red coral islands and reefs, but let everyone spread their vigilance and cover the landing of the sea tribe troops one after another.

Nearly half an hour passed, and in addition to the necessary manpower left to guard the ships, the sea tribe troops all landed on the Red Coral Island and reef, with nearly 20,000 people, standing in a neat formation, fully armed, and energetically waiting for further battle instructions from the upper peak.

The Great Chief did not land with the team, but stayed on the flagship to sit on the flagship, and Long Er, who was the adjutant of the Great Chief of this operation, that is, the second brother of Long Yi and the second brother of the Dragon Girl, came to Cao Ke's side, saluted Cao Ke with a standard military salute, and shouted loudly: "Report to Cao Gongzi! All the combatants of the First Fleet of the Sea Clan have been assembled!"

Cao Ke nodded slightly towards Long Er and said, "Brother Long has worked hard. Then he raised his feet and came to the front of the large army: "Brothers of the Sea Clan, today, we are here, and our only mission is to rescue the people trapped on that mountain!"

As he spoke, Cao Ke turned around and pointed to the only high mountain above the Red Coral Island, and continued: "However, at the foot of that mountain, there are still some enemies who are ready to block our way and resist us stubbornly! Although our round of artillery bombardment just now has brought considerable losses to these enemies, they are very likely to fight with us in a wrecked battle! As the old saying goes, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, but the enemy has become mourning soldiers, so we really have to let them win?"

After listening to Cao Ke's question, the large army of the Sea Clan instantly became noisy and chaotic, and the shouts came and went!

"Bullshit mourning soldier, the brothers beat him directly!"

"That is, who are we? We are the most elite First Fleet of the Sea Clan! Even if they are mourning soldiers, can they be stronger than us?"

"The enemy is just dying!"

"Let them taste the power of our First Fleet, and make them regret fighting us......"

......

Cao Ke looked around at everyone with a smile, raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then shouted loudly: "In this case, you can let me, an outsider, have a good look at the strength of the First Fleet of the Sea Clan!

"Rush!" 20,000 people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky!

Cao Ke's remarks were not just joked for no reason, he was mobilizing the morale of the army! When morale is high, the army will be able to display its own strength by 100 percent or even higher, and in this way, the hope of winning the final victory will also increase.

Under the leadership of Changsun Ling, Cao Ke led a large army and went straight to the high mountain where Prince Jingyun and Cao Hong were trapped, whether to annihilate Prince Tang Feng's army, this was not the problem that Cao Ke had to consider in this operation, rescuing Prince Jingyun and Cao Hong was the top priority, as long as Prince Tang Feng's army did not jump out to stop them, Cao Ke was very willing to let them go, not to chase and kill the remnants of General Du's subordinates.

However, if Cao Ke does not pursue and kill General Du, will General Du be able to let Cao Ke's side move freely? Of course not, how can a battle-hardened general like General Du escape from the battle unless he has no choice but to do so?

During the period when Cao Ke's large troops landed one after another, General Du had already packed up his remnants, led about less than 2,000 troops that were still fighting and retreated to the top of the mountainside, not only that, but before General Du went up the mountain, he also asked his subordinates to prepare a large number of bows and arrows, arrows, rolling wood, and stones, he knew that his strength on his side was far inferior to that of the other party, so General Du planned to make a final fight with the advantage of geographical advantages, hoping to hold on until Prince Tang Feng led reinforcements to come to the rescue.

And Cao Ke wants to go up the mountain to rescue Prince Jingyun and Cao Hong, and the halfway up the mountain that General Du is guarding now is the only way to go! Cao Ke can only meet his eldest brother and the crown prince of the Tongtian Empire if he breaks through the last blockade line of General Du...... The big war is on the verge of breaking out!

In the face of these Cao masters, General Du also sent all the masters under his command, and the people from both sides launched a fierce battle in the center of the battlefield, that is, on the hillside.

Seeing this, Cao Ke frowned, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that there are many masters under General Du...... It's not okay to drag it out like this, if Prince Tang Feng brings reinforcements from the Naga clan, we will really be in danger......"

After speaking, Cao Ke was silent for a short while, and then he turned around and instructed Long Er behind him: "Brother Long, you lead a team of men and horses to bypass these belligerents from the left and attack the enemy's position directly! Let a reliable general lead the team up from the right, let's take a two-pronged approach, copy the two sides, and strive to take the other party in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!" Ryuji nodded, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Half a minute later, two teams of 5,000 people each rushed out of Cao Ke's position, one left and one right, bypassing the masters of both sides who were fighting in the middle, and quickly rushed towards General Du on the mountainside.

Seeing this, General Du sneered: "Do you want two bread copies? What a beautiful idea! I really eat dry rice for nothing!"

After speaking, General Du directly raised his hand and gave his order in a loud voice: "All the archers are divided into two teams, covering the enemy attacking on both sides, and the rest of the people quickly put the rolling wood and stones in place and wait for further orders from General Ben!

Ryuuji was leading his men to rush up the mountain, when he suddenly found that from the enemy's position halfway up the mountainside, one arrow after another flew out! These arrows formed a wall of arrows, and smashed down directly on the top of the heads of his own team!

"Shield!" Faced with this situation, where did Ryuuji dare to hesitate, and hurriedly gave his own order to his sergeant in the simplest language.

"Rub the ......" A sound of metal rubbing sounded, and these soldiers of the Sea Clan obeyed Ryuuji's instructions one after another, and raised the shield in their hands high above their heads, blocking in front of them.

"Jingle ......" was another sound of gold and iron, and most of the arrows flying down from the mountain were blocked by the shields of the Sea Clan army, although there were still some Sea Clan soldiers who died under the attack of this arrow, but the loss was not very serious.

Seeing that the opposing army was still carrying shields, General Du hurriedly raised his hand and shouted loudly: "The archers stop shooting and all retreat, and the rolling wood and stones are ready to be fired!"
