The sharp reef is as slippery and cold as a sharp blade, and ordinary people can't climb it unless they are masters. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The rocks that extend from the two islands form a reef that plunges into the bottom of the lake, becoming a natural underwater obstacle that makes it difficult for boats and speedboats to pass.

At the top of the island there is an arrow tower made of wood and stone, a lookout post, and the exterior is also dark in color, so from a distance you can mistake it for an island. However, the turret and lookout post were now empty, and it was clear that the enemy had been driven away by the six ships that had arrived first.

"This place is so dangerous, it is indeed suitable for a robber's den. But where did you come from?"

"My lord, just now we copied the shortcut, and Tang Gongzi led the big boat around the waterway for more than ten miles before coming in from the north. ”

"I see!" Chang Wei came in from the small waterway in the south, and the six pursuit boats led by Tang Jinyi followed the enemy patrol boats to the water village.

Sailing into it, the tall islands and reefs block the rising autumn sun, and the gloomy and dim waterways are like the mouths of beasts that choose people to eat, making people feel terrified.

Suddenly, there were several bombardments of tiger squatting cannons from the depths of the dark woods, and flying wood chips, earth and rocks, roaring down from the sky, and the water surface fluctuated violently.

The sailors did not wait for the command to speed up, after crossing the stone gate, several waterways inside divided the black land into a tic-tac-toe shape, and the sailors rowed along the straight waterway, and after traveling three or four miles, a large water village appeared in front of them.

"My lord, this is it!"

The water village was already full of guns and cannons, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and the air was filled with heavy gunpowder smoke and bloody gas.

To the south of the water village, three small boats broke their masts and their sails caught fire, and several small boats not far away were burning and slowly sinking.

Two hundred paces to the north, two enemy ships were fleeing in a hurry.

Chang Wei saw Tang Jinyi standing on the bow of a ship, calmly commanding the two big ships to outflank, and the musketeers around him kept firing all the time, and the enemy ship kept people falling into the water at a slower and slower speed, and it seemed that it would not take long to be sunk.

Seeing through the smoke and fire, Chang Wei saw the heads of people and the undulating corpses in the nearby waters.

In the southeast corner of the water village, more than a dozen hooks dragged a patrol boat, and bullets and shells flew on the shore, and the firelight continued to come out with screams.

"Is this the ship that escaped?"

"Yes, my lord, it is about to be destroyed. ”

As he spoke, a loud trumpet sounded on Tang Jinyi's ship, and driven by dozens of long oars, three large ships quickly caught up with the two enemy ships in front.

Forty or fifty sturdy men shook off the noose in their hands, grabbed the mast and dragged the enemy ship back, and dozens of hooks immediately hit the boat gang and quickly narrowed the distance.

Tang Jinyi broke off, the person had landed on the deck of the enemy ship, in the smoke, Tang Jinyi's identity was so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, but wherever his figure flashed, the enemy was screaming, and twenty or thirty elite water thieves couldn't stop Tang Jinyi, who was like a rainbow.

As the Gang Jumping Musketeers joined the battle, the enemy had completely collapsed, and the remaining dozen or so men had all lost their weapons, knelt on the deck, and shouted: "Surrender!"

"Surrender?"

When Fang just broke into the water village, the water thieves took advantage of the convenient terrain and killed more than a dozen musketeers under a surprise attack. This made them feel the cruelty of war for the first time.

How could the red-eyed musketeer pick up the sword on the ground and kill the water thieves with a sword in his hand.

Tang Jinyi didn't stop it, these water thieves are all robbers who do all kinds of evil, and they are arrested and imprisoned?

The patrol boat in the southeast corner had been sunk by the musketeers, and by this point, the gunfire in the water village had completely stopped, and the sporadic resistance was quickly killed.

Tang Jinyi saw Chang Wei get off the boat, raised his hand to him and was about to speak, but Chang Wei waved his hand to signal that everything was as usual, and he was still in command.

Tang Jinyi was no longer modest, but a trace of excitement overflowed on Jun's face, and he seemed to enjoy this feeling of commanding a battle very much, perhaps because he had never had the opportunity to fight on this scale in the Tang Sect, or maybe every hot-blooded man liked the war of blood and fire.

Yes, war is a man's romance, and there are a few hot-blooded men who don't like war.

Tang Jinyi stood at the bow of the boat and ordered loudly: "The first boat, the second boat, listen, you patrol along the water village, no matter whether the enemy is dead or alive, you will make up for it, and no survivors will be allowed to escape!"

"Yes!" the soldiers of the two ships immediately moved.

"The third boat will treat the wounded brothers, and the bodies of the dead will be brought back to the ship. Master Chang once said: The Volunteer Battalion will never abandon any brother, whether dead or alive!"

"Yes!" everyone's eyes moistened. It's not too difficult to move people, sometimes all you need is a word, sometimes it's just a look.

"The fourth ship scuttles the damaged enemy ship, and the fifth ship gathers the enemy's weapons and good ships!"

"The sixth boat will follow me in to carry the property, remember that no one is allowed to hide a tael of silver privately, otherwise military law will be involved!" Tang Jinyi's tone was extremely stern when he said this.

Although Tang Jinyi is not Chang Wei's subordinate, he is often by Chang Wei's side, making it clear that he is a confidant. In addition, he served as an instructor in the volunteer battalion, and his superb martial arts made the whole battalion admire, so no one dared to disobey his orders.

After speaking, he said: "You should know that the food and drink treatment of the Volunteer Battalion is the best in the Ming Dynasty, your salary is higher than that of the Eight Rank Officials of Zhenjiang Mansion, and the muskets and artillery you use are more advanced than those of the Franc Machine." ”

"Speaking of this battle, almost everyone can get a bounty of fifty taels of silver, and the good ones can even divide more than a thousand taels. This time, the cost of shells and bullets is as high as tens of thousands of taels, what is Chang Daren doing this for?"

Tang Jinyi glanced around and said, "Who knows?"

A soldier stepped forward and said loudly: "Seventeen rules of the code: In order to protect the life of the robe, give priority to the use of guns and cannons to destroy the enemy in wartime!"

Chang Wei wants an invincible army of hot weapons, so every tactical move of the soldiers, and even the norms of words and deeds, can be found in the drill code. Thanks to the careful teaching of dozens of cousins and the talents of Beigumen, the soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion have been able to write all the thirty drill codes silently.

In the Ming Dynasty, where ordinary soldiers were almost all illiterate, this is simply a miracle, and of course this is also related to the particularly good treatment of the volunteer battalion.

"Good!"

Tang Jinyi let the soldiers return to the team and continued: "Where did these good treatments and advanced weapons come from? They are all Chang Da Man's own money, and you also know that although Chang Da Da is the son of an official eunuch, he is not a billionaire with a fortune. There is another thing you don't know, Master Chang has been an official for more than half a year, but he has not received a tael of silver from the imperial court. So, where did he earn the money to support our Volunteer Battalion? It is to exterminate these bandits, seize the money they robbed, and the pirates who were exterminated last time on Liuheng Island...... Got it?" )
