Chapter 1071 Stealing a Ship!
Ulu used these life-saving boats to lure them to come and rob them, one team against one team, one hundred against one hundred.
"No hurry, wait a little longer."
He Lingchuan poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly in ten sips.
As everyone was looking forward to it, He Lingchuan put down the teacup and finally nodded:
"Weigh anchor, the whole army is going!"
This huge fleet turned off the lights and headed towards the land under the cover of darkness and thick fog.
After sailing ten miles, the fleet divided thirty large ships to Ludin Beach to prepare to meet the refugees of the Bailong tribe, and the rest approached Storm Bay at full speed!
If there is a second choice, He Lingchuan does not want to land in Storm Bay. That is under the eyes of the enemy.
But due to the terrain of this peninsula, the fleet cannot find a better landing point. The only bay that can accommodate so many ships landing at the same time is Storm Bay. Other places are rocky and it is difficult for small boats to go.
So the first difficulty of this operation is the beach landing of the Yangshan Guard.
The enemy is not blind. Even if there is a fog to cover them, with so many ships and so much noise, how can they reduce casualties while landing?
He Lingchuan has noticed that Wulu does not think that the enemy has reinforcements from the sea, or even if they come, they are not large in scale. After all, the nearest large port, Blade Port, does not have enough cargo ships, and there are no stronger armed forces nearby.
When leading troops to fight, you can't consider such unreliable low-probability events.
Therefore, the Ya people mainly deployed their troops in front of Luding Beach to cut off the possibility of Lu Qingbang and Bailong people rushing to rob the boats.
Although there are less than 1,700 people, the combat effectiveness of Bailong warriors in desperate situations is very strong. If Wulu wants to suppress them, he must concentrate on it. The defense of Storm Bay is inevitably empty, leaving only 500 people to guard the ships.
500 people, in fact, is not a small number. If Lu Qingbang and Wanqi Tong send a team to sneak over to steal the boat, they must first pass the 500 defenders.
Wulu's distribution of troops is very reasonable.
...
Wulu found a good position for himself. Although it was not on the highest hill, he could overlook most of Storm Bay and the entire Luding Beach.
The latest battle situation in Luding Beach would be transmitted to him in real time.
Although the Bailong people were famous for their good fighting skills, the tenacity they showed this time was beyond his expectations.
For ten hours, these Bailong people, who were like dogs who had lost their homes, actually persisted for ten hours in Luding Beach with unfavorable terrain!
This hopeless battle was the most likely to drag down an army. Why hadn't the will of the Bailong people been broken?
He also considered whether the trapped beast situation would arouse the fighting spirit of the Bailong people? Therefore, he specifically ordered the Yaguo army to pretend to open a gap, or a flaw, so that the Bailong people could take advantage of it.
If there was a way to survive, there would be no need to fight a trapped beast, and they might not necessarily work together.
However, the Bailong people were not fooled!
Was it because of the hundred elite soldiers led by Lu Qingbang?
This thought flashed for only a second, and was easily rejected by Wulu. He had never dealt with the Bailie army in person, but the people of Ya country knew it.
If he defeated the Bailong people today, Bailie's Lu Qingbang and hundreds of his men would be a bonus.
After all, there were not many people in the Lu family who could fight, and Wulu had cleared an obstacle for the western front of Ya country, which was also a merit.
Soon, the front line sent back a report:
According to the prisoners, the young patriarch Wanqi Tong and Lu Qingbang have been encouraging everyone, and reinforcements from the west will arrive soon!
Reinforcements? Wulu grinned, but did not laugh out loud.
Bailie has arranged ships in Storm Bay to pick up the Bailong people, so what's strange about having another backup?
Even if there are reinforcements, how long will it take and how many people will there be?
He thought about it, then raised his hand to call the golden eagle, asking it to expand the patrol range and carefully check the surrounding waters for abnormalities. Now the sea is foggy and the visibility is poor, but this golden eagle has the ability of fire eyes and golden pupils. Although it cannot completely see through the fog, its visibility is several times greater than that of ordinary people.
The visual range of ordinary people in this thick fog may be only ten feet, but it can reach thirty-five or sixty feet.
However, before Wulu had time to assign tasks to it, new information came:
There are Bailong people who have seized ships in Storm Bay again!
Why again? Previously, Wanqi Tong sent people to sneak into Storm Bay to seize ships twice, but they were defeated.
Now Wanqi Tong is seriously injured, but the Bailong people are not giving up and want to try again?
Wulu didn't take it to heart, and wanted to let the guards on the shore execute the enemy.
Unexpectedly, the next sentence of the messenger was: "Three large ships were driven away! Ah, four!"
Wulu was startled and ran to the front of the cliff to look down, but the milky white fog was just surging to the shore, covering everything in Storm Bay.
The army's Yuanli can see through the celestial phenomena caused by magic, but it is useless for the natural phenomenon of fog on the sea.
So Wulu had to take out a long tube mirror and put it in front of his eyes.
This long tube mirror not only has the function of long-range and magnification, but also can see through thick fog, obstacles, miasma, etc. It is a good thing for marching and fighting. Wulu got it accidentally in a battle.
With the help of this magic weapon, he can see that three large ships in the bay have left the shore, and the fourth one is turning around and sailing out.
How did he do this? !
The five hundred guards he left in Storm Bay were not attacked because he could see them running on the shallows with torches.
There is only one long-abandoned dock here. Most large ships have a deep draft and cannot dock, so they can only stay in the bay. For safety reasons, he even left people on each large ship to guard the ship to prevent the Bailong people from sneaking over and driving away.
Are all the guards on the ship dead?
He adjusted the mirror tube and magnified the field of view. He found that the four ships that escaped not only had people at the bow and stern, but also a strange creature.
It looked like a giant python or a giant moray eel, but it had shoulders and four hands, which were pitch black, and some had white stripes. It was larger than a human.
What the hell is this thing?
Looking at the busy people on the ship, they really looked like Bailong people, and several of them had their iconic loose braids.
The Bailong people from Storm Bay sneaked over, and with the help of these monsters, they finally succeeded in stealing the ship?
So the "reinforcements" that Lu Qingbang mentioned refer to these monsters?
Under his watch, two more large ships were stolen. This time he finally saw how the other party moved -
The snake people did not come from the land dock, but directly from the sea water, climbing up the deck along the hull.
Their way of moving was like that of snakes, which truly interpreted what "wandering" meant. The oblique angle of the hull did not hinder them at all.
There were three or four humans hanging on each snake man.
It seemed that these monsters were also incredibly strong.
They slipped onto the ship from the blind spot of the dock and the guards on the ship, quickly launched an attack, and seized control of the ship as soon as possible.
