Chapter 2435 The Gui Scroll is thundering and the duel between Fuji and others
The sky is getting darker and darker, and basically nothing can be seen on the entire sea. Only the strong sea wind whizzes past the mast and the side of the ship, bringing a sharp roar.
It was not Feng Ziying’s first time taking a boat at night, but the use of a surprise attack to launch a landing attack from the sea still made him a little excited.
The Chenqianshan Islands are at the easternmost end of the entire Chengsi Islands. They are not very large in area. There are only two or three islands that can accommodate a so-called attack base, so we only need to do some reconnaissance around these islands. Targets are quickly identified.
The sea conditions in this area are quite complicated, especially since there are a large number of uninhabited islands scattered throughout this area. It is difficult for even the guide who is most familiar with the situation here to distinguish them clearly at night.
The warship continues to move forward in the set direction. The reconnaissance boats have already been sent out. They will discover the situation in advance and report back with flags and lights.
It is already past midnight, and according to the prediction, we should arrive near the West Island.
But the sky was pitch black and nothing could be seen at all. It was not until a flash of light flickered that the people on the boat became excited.
Soon the boat came close.
“..., go around the small island in front, and walk a few miles further, and you will see a mountain peak hidden behind, with a lighthouse and a light and dark sentry..."
The scout's words were full of excitement. As long as he found the right target, he would not be afraid of thousands of sailors, whether it was a forceful attack or a sneak attack.
Qi Xianzong was not that excited. He just listened to the intelligence report calmly, sometimes frowning and sometimes nodding.
Feng Ziying stood aside and said nothing. As he said before, professional matters were left to professionals to handle. He didn't care about the process, only the results.
Until the scout finished introducing the situation, Qi Xianzong asked several questions in succession, and a military attache next to him asked a few more questions, before Qi Xianzong came over and saluted with a fist in his hand.
"Sir, the situation is similar. The situation in this area is more complicated, but the only place where people can live is the West Island. I have been to this island once, but I don't have much impression. There is a mountain to the south, and I have to go around a fork, but There are lighthouses and sentry posts there, which are difficult to avoid, so you need to go around from the east, but that may require walking close to the seven or eight-mile mountain road..."
Feng Ziying waved her hands and laughed: "You decide, don't consider me. Xianzong, you don't think I can't even walk ten miles away, do you? I am also a martial artist inherited from my family, and I have been fighting since I was a child. …”
“Okay, then we will take a detour to the east and walk along the mountain road. When we get close, our scouts can first deal with the enemy checkpoints. In addition, the warships will return to the front and block the exits, so that we can catch them all in one go..."
Qi Xianzong admired Feng Ziying's decisiveness and freedom.
At the moment of battle, I am most afraid of those Shangguan who don’t understand anything but like to point fingers. Moreover, if you don’t do what he says, you won’t be happy and will make trouble for you.
The Feng Shilang in front of me is not ignorant of military affairs, but he can completely let go. This kind of courage and courage alone cannot be matched by many people.
The warship quickly turned around and turned eastward. It did not drop anchor until it was half a mile near the easternmost end of the West Island. The only way to get ashore here was by small boats, and large ships could not approach.
Fortunately, more small boats were specially added before arriving. More than ten small boats landed quickly. The sailors had already become very skilled in this method of landing operations. They quickly paddled towards the shore. After half an hour, 800 soldiers arrived. They have already landed in line and are waiting.
It is a self-generated flintlock gun with a three-edged thorn on the waist. It can be loaded with a sleeve at any time, or it can be operated with one hand as a melee weapon for stabbing.
Of course, there are one hundred and fifty specialized sword and shield soldiers in the sailors. This is also to prevent some situations that are not suitable for the use of fire gun soldiers. The sword and shield soldiers can be used as supplements and reserves.
Feng Ziying, You Sanjie and Li Guibao walked as fast as flying, following the rapidly advancing sailors along the rugged and winding mountain road.
This mountain road should be used by Japanese pirates for training. However, given that the terrain to the east is not suitable for expansion, the Japanese pirates may not have thought that anyone would come from this way, so there is no sentry at this end. However, if you go further, it is At the throat of the mountain, there must be Japanese pirates' whistles.
These are also expected.
There is no reason to take precautions against a pirate's lair?
This is because the Japanese pirates have been hiding in hiding for too long this year, which may have caused some slack. Otherwise, if one or two sentries were ambushed in the darkness at the easternmost end, the sneak attack would be discovered immediately.
Of course this cannot change their fate, but at least it can turn this sneak attack into a hard attack.
The team slowed down and finally stopped, huddled on the roadside close to the rock, waiting for the scout masters from the navy camp ahead to clear the obstacles.
Li Guibao quietly mentioned to him that among the scouts there were at least masters from the Jianghu sects from Denglai, Taishan and Hejian, and he vaguely knew one or two of them.
Soon the team was in action again. Passing by the narrowest throat, Feng Ziying vaguely saw a few people dragging aside two secret sentries who had fallen limply aside. It was estimated that a sudden interrogation would be launched, but it would not happen. influence the advancement of action.
It has been a long time since Feng Ziying stumbled forward at night like this. No torches were allowed, and they could only be distinguished by the occasional flash of incense sticks.
The military discipline of the naval camp is excellent and there is almost no sound, which is enough to show that after several times of tempering, this team is truly worthy of a big job.
Going straight up a hillside, bypassing the woods blocking the front of the hillside, your eyes suddenly opened up. The mouth of a valley suddenly enlarged. Although the terrain was slightly lower, you could still roughly see the situation inside the valley.
There is a huge gap at the back end of the valley, like an open space, which leads directly to the seaside pier. You can even vaguely see the dark shadows of ships on the pier. You can also see the arrow tower, lighthouse and a gun emplacement on the pier. It's a rough idea, but it's a little further away so I can't see clearly.
In the inner side of the valley, the fence extends along the open area to the mountain wall at the back end of the valley. Even high on the mountain wall, you can see an arrow tower sentry post, which can block the road from here.
However, because the supporting part of the rock wall is too narrow and can only bear one or two people, a hemp rope ladder hangs down to the bottom.
The team has stopped and is hidden from the sight of possible exposure. Qi Xianzong and another military attache have sneaked to the front to observe and study the specific details of how to take action.
Feng Ziying did not go to the front end, lest it interfere with Qi Xianzong's decision. At this point, it was just a question of how to win the battle as quickly as possible with the minimum loss and to maximize the results. There was no possibility of failure.
Fortunately, Qi Xianzong and the others soon made up their minds and came over to briefly report to Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying waved her consent without even hearing the specific details.
Several turtle-dove guns were quickly set up and aimed at that archery tower sentry post. Once any abnormality was found in the arrow tower, the turtle-dove rifles would shoot without hesitation to curb the attack that the arrow tower might have on the commandos filing in. threaten.
In fact, even if the Japanese pirates in the fence discovered the army at this time, they could not react much. Even if they immediately fled to the open space over there and sailed to the dock to escape, it would be of no avail.
The naval warships have already blocked the waterway, and they may be blown to pieces by the navy's cannons before they can even sail away.
According to Qi Xianzong's arrangement, 800 sailors and 150 sword and shield soldiers took the lead and acted as the vanguard.
The fire gunners who followed were divided into three teams.
One team breaks through directly from the front, while the other team quickly passes through the front and flanks and crosses the fence to block the open area as much as possible. The other team has to occupy the high ground on the other side in order to better control the entire situation. When the Japanese pirates counterattack or resist, To attack.
Feng Ziying nodded slightly, Qi Xianzong's mature and prudent approach was still very appropriate.
Since you are sure of winning, it is best to avoid your own losses as much as possible. There is no need to show off your power by opening and closing, causing unnecessary losses.
With Qi Xianzong's sudden wave of his hand, several detachments that had been ready to go quickly rushed out according to their respective goals. Such a large-scale charge would inevitably bring various noises, and naturally it would be impossible to hide their tracks.
Soon the police whistle sounded a shrill bamboo whistle, followed by a golden sound, and the houses in the valley fell into panic.
I have to say that Qi Xianzong’s judgment was correct.
Nearly a year of dormant seclusion has made such a group of Japanese pirates much more relaxed than before. In other words, this group of Japanese pirates has already degraded.
Over the years, they have basically not carried out large-scale landings to attack cities and besiege forts. Instead, they have only engaged in plundering merchant ships. Landings, attacks, kidnappings and extortions also rely on information leaked from the government's insiders and internal and external cooperation, making them almost invincible.
Having been going smoothly like this for a long time, the necessary vigilance and reaction capabilities have been seriously weakened.
However, these Japanese pirates who have been roaming the East China Sea for many years are still somewhat brave. Along with a burst of Japanese chatter, multiple groups of people rushed out of several gathered houses at the same time and began to roar and charge towards the sailors.
The Japanese sword was sharp and shone brightly in the raised torch.
Howling again and again, the Japanese pirates and pirates charging in formation ran like thunder.
In the sound of hey, the steps are neat, the face is crazy, the knife flashes, and it can gather into a formation in such a short period of time.
It’s just that all this is extremely funny in the eyes of Qi Xianzong and Feng Ziying, who have calm faces.
