Ishigaki Island is stationed here with two naval formations, the Daqin and Atlant, with about ten warships, as well as several supply ships, small boats and fishing boats. In addition to the navy, the mountain camps were also sent here to adapt to the battle of the island terrain, and there were about 1,000 defenders belonging to the Ishigaki Island Fortress. There were also about 5,000 people in total.

When Chu Yun and Zheng Zhilong signed the Ryukyu Treaty, Chu Yun knew that the forces of both sides were incompatible and would sooner or later have a battle. So after that, he frantically transported cannons and stones to Ishigaki Island to build a coastal defense fortress. Then he saved a lot of food and strategic materials into the fortress. According to the plan, the materials here need to meet the requirements of the naval fleet's war lasting for two months.

At the port of Ishigaki Island, there are two fortresses in the north and south at the terrain. These two fortresses are bastions built by Western officers summoned by summoned people. They have extremely strong defense and are said to be fearless even if they face enemies ten times more than their own.

Several soldiers stood on the fortress's walls and looked at the sparkling sea. There were more than a dozen ships moored on the sea surface, which fluctuated slightly with the waves. The largest ship was the battleship Atlant with more than 70 cannons.

"Boss, are we going to assassinate Chu Yun to avenge His Majesty?" a soldier asked a low-level officer.

"Speak softly, we are now soldiers of the Liao army. If you are heard, you will be finished!" The low-level officer shouted, "Of course our purpose is to assassinate Chu Yun!"

"Then boss, can you explain why we became soldiers of the Rest Liao army who destroyed our Later Jin Dynasty, and we still had to defend this place where birds did not lay eggs for the Rest Liao army?" the soldier said.

"We didn't pretend to be a traitor and sneak into the fleet of the Liao army to assassinate Chu Yun in order to earn funds for activities... " said a low-level officer.

"That's right, it's a pity that the supply ship we are here stayed in the "Da Qin" formation as the Fu Liao army called, and the base of the Da Qin formation is this broken place."

"Then the Liao army built a fortress here, and it was short of staff. The eldest brother was appreciated by the captain and was appointed as the team leader. As well as us who are good at physical fitness, they were summoned into the army and became ordinary soldiers. Brother, do you think this is the case?"

The other two soldiers said verbally.

"That's it. After we become soldiers of the Restoration Army, as long as we work hard to get up to it, we will be able to get close to Chu Yun sooner or later, and then take the opportunity to get rid of him. This is my plan! It's much better than our previous unreliable assassination plan." said the low-level officer.

These people were the few Later Jin assassins who had been assassinating Chu Yun last year. They were just lucky enough to make people drift to the distant East China Sea and were recruited into the fortress army.

Woo--

A loud horn sounded in the port, causing several soldiers to look involuntarily towards the port.

"Are you going to fight?" The low-level officer felt the murderous death in the sea breeze.

In the port, crew members of more than a dozen ships kept traveling back and forth on the docks and decks, loading food and supplies on the ships. Everyone's steps accelerated by the sound of horns, as if the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.

"Sir, why are you entering a state of alert? Is there an enemy attack?" The commander of the Ishigaki Island Fortress, Ling Tong hurriedly brought a team of soldiers to the Daqin.

At this time, the person in charge of the Ishigaki Island fleet was Deng Qianlong, deputy commander of the Fu Liao Navy Fleet. He had been fighting with Nelson, and this time he had to stand alone.

"According to the information of our spies, after Zheng Zhilong held a pirate meeting in Xiamen Bay, he led hundreds of pirates to attack our Ishigaki Island, hoping to take down our frontier base, Ishigaki Island, and cut off the supplies of the main force of our fleet that is about to arrive." Deng Qianlong said seriously.

Ling Tongyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard that Zheng Zhilong personally brought more than 10,000 pirates to kill him. After all, Zheng Zhilong is the well-deserved ship king in the East China Sea and has the most powerful force.

"How does the sir plan to face the enemy?" Ling Tong asked uneasily, "Defend the coastline with our coastal defense cannons?"

"If we are trapped by the Daqin and Atlant, we are extremely prone to attack by their fire ships. So we plan to withdraw from the port and hand over the important task of defending Ishigaki Island to your fortress troops and mountain camps. I will lead the fleet to deal with them outside the harbor, so that they cannot concentrate their efforts to attack the islands and drag them until the main force of our fleet comes." Deng Qianlong said his plan, "Your fortress troops and mountain camps together have more than 2,000 people. It should be no problem to defend a mere Ishigaki Island, right?"

"There is no problem at all. It is hard to say if we are the only one who fights alone, but there are reinforcements outside. With the food here, it will be no problem for us to hold it for a year or two!" Ling Tong said with a slap in his chest.

"Okay, hurry back and mobilize quickly and check every corner of the fortress. There are no flaws." Deng Qianlong said, "If the fortress in Ishigaki Island is lost, our entire plan to restore the Liao army to the south will be delayed by at least one year, and we will not be able to explain to the military leader."

"yes!"

The two fleets of Daqin and Atlant were quickly organized. After loading up enough food and gunpowder for a month, they closed their anchors and sailed slowly out of the port. After more than a dozen ships left the port, the harbor was empty, leaving only the fortress troops guarding the island and the mountain camps trained in the mountainous areas of central Ishigaki Island.

"Let me tell the mountain camps in the mountains and let them come and assist our fortress troops in defense." Ling Tong looked at the fleet leaving the harbor, so he ordered his men to go to the middle of the island to find the mountain camp.

In the middle of Ishigaki Island, there are dense forests. Due to the abundant rainfall, the grass and trees here are very prosperous.

A group of soldiers wearing grass-green military uniforms and smeared with soil and grass juice on their faces looked like indigenous soldiers from the islands shuttled through the mountains and forests. They were all agile, like monkeys.

"This is the first time since our mountain camp was established, we have to go to the battlefield. This time we must let them never come back!" The commander of the mountain camp was also dressed in an indigenous manner, and he was carrying a Dresse rifle behind his back. "We must use the blood of the enemy to prove to the army leader that the mountain camp is an indispensable part of the Restoration Army!"

"But the battalion commander, the fortress troops seemed to ask us to enter the fortress and work together to defend and protect the fortress." said a mountain camp soldier.
