Chapter 1543 hand-to-hand combat where is the ship
The visibility at night is too low, and the fleet led by Xingchen is more than 30 miles away from the mouth of the river, so it is impossible to see clearly. It is the best time for the other party to rush out.
However, this situation was already expected by Jiang Xingchen, and he had already thought of the countermeasures, which was to send people to land, observe closely, and send signals to the fleet in time.
At dusk, two three-layer treasure ships left the fleet as fast as possible and rushed to both sides of the river estuary. Each ship had thirty people, leading the team from the Iron Sword Mercenary Group and the Shocking Mercenary Group, and the rest were Jiang Xingchen's private soldiers.
All those sent to carry out missions are masters. The members of the Iron Sword Mercenary Group have basically cultivated at the second level of the vitality level or above, while the private soldiers have reached the ninth level of the Qi Condensation. Considering that the other party will definitely arrange a large number of people to prevent the fleet from sending people to the ashore. In other words, this will be an extremely dangerous close-killing battle, and of course the strength of the sent out cannot be poor. The heads of the two fleets can only use the strongest force that Jiang Xingchen has transferred to them.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the fully armed private soldiers on the shallow waters on both sides of the estuary were slowly advancing forward under the leadership of the Iron Sword Team. Their goal was to be a region five to ten miles away from the estuary, which was also the best area covered by fleet artillery fire.
They did not go to the jungle on both sides of the straits, but only sent five or six people to hide in the grass on the straits, paying attention to the movements in the jungle at any time.
This action plan has been planned long ago. The opponent cannot rush out during the day and will definitely be guarded against the enemy landing at night. In other words, it is very likely that people will have traps set in the jungle on both sides of the strait. Now grenades and mine technology have been spreading for a long time, and it will be a disaster if you take a landmine.
It is much safer to walk in shallow water. The other party will never think of burying mines in the water. Although the target is larger and easy to be attacked, the scouts hidden in the grass will respond in time and minimize the danger.
The two sides met very quickly. After more than three miles of private soldiers, someone saw the shadow of the fleet with a telescope. Just when they wanted to inform the sea fleet to attack, the private soldiers hidden in the grass discovered an abnormality.
"Disast away quickly. There are enemies!" The reconnaissance whistle immediately issued an alarm, and the qualities of the private soldiers were immediately reflected. They almost rang out without any surprise. There was no drag on the mud. They all dispersed in an instant and fell to the shore.
Almost as soon as the private soldiers reacted, more than a dozen black iron lumps flew out of the dense forest. Boom boom, the water where the private soldiers had just hiding was blown up and splashed everywhere.
He didn't care about what was behind him at all. The private soldiers raised their hands and banged a string of bowstrings, and a few screams suddenly came to mind in the dense forest.
The private soldiers did not stop. The front people raised their hands and threw several grenades at the place where the screams came. Amid the explosion, more than a dozen people scattered into the dense forest. The rest were not idle either. They quickly took out a cylinder on the river bank and put it on the ground.
Outside the mouth of the river, Yan He stood at the bow of the flagship ship. Yes, he could already stand up. It was the old man who did the conditioning for him himself, but he couldn't move around yet.
However, at this moment, there was no joy on his face to leave the wheelchair. He looked anxiously at the direction of the river estuary. He was really afraid that the private soldiers would lose their losses on the island. These were all old people who had been with Jiang Xingchen for many years, and they could not afford to lose any of them.
"Boom!" A brilliant firework suddenly exploded in the sky. The beautiful fireworks passed in a flash, and Yan He finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
"Article fire preparation, the target is three miles away from the mouth of the river, covering the attack." Yan He immediately ordered, and a moment later, the roar of artillery fire sounded from the dark sea.
At this time, the close contact was over in the mouth of the river, and nearly thirty masters from Mantan died in the dense forest on the shore. Jiang Xingchen won a great victory, and the only drawback was that a private soldier was slightly injured.
In the river, six five-story treasure ships were hit by covered cannons and smashed to pieces.
The first batch of ships were intercepted successfully, and the nervousness of the private soldiers eased a lot. They were all in high spirits, so they accelerated and continued to rush to their destination.
There are thirteen major river estuaries in the two major islands. The situation inside is similar. The close forces are connected and the stars are winning completely, with almost zero casualties, which shows the huge gap between the two sides.
However, they did not dare to be careless. After all, they were on their territory, and they still seemed cautious. Yan He and Wang Zhicheng in the fleet were even more tired. They almost didn't close their eyes all night and carefully paid attention to the movements on the island. During the day, the strange actions of the two islands had long been forgotten by the two of them.
The stars were moving, and it was about to pass overnight. With the cooperation of the island-based personnel, the fleet led by Xingchen carried out more than ten consecutive cover shelling bombardments, sank countless ships from the opponent. He did not release an opponent's ship and the island-based personnel also fought with the opponent several times. Although there were still no dead people, the number of injured gradually increased.
After this night, although the expected goal was achieved, it also made people exhausted physically and mentally. Everyone on the boat blocking the estuary was very tired.
However, they could not rest because the two islands were crazy and were still sending ships to the outside world to rush to pass through.
"How many ships do these guys have?" There was a noise in their hearts, and they had to continue to hold on.
After dawn, the sky brightened, Yan He and Wang Zhicheng realized that this could not continue. At first, they were not afraid of the number of each other, but now they were really worried. They had already knocked out nearly 400 ships from the other side, but the other side still had the strength to do so. If they continued, the shells on their own side might not be enough. In one day, their fleet used more than 2,000 shells, and the other fleets were almost the same. In other words, in a day, Xingchen Leader shot in more than 20,000 shells and more than 200,000 stones. This is not considered an attack on the port.
This result made Yan He feel distressed. This is not a war. It is just a burning money. What’s more important is that the shells carried by his fleet are almost exhausted and he must be replenished quickly.
Fortunately, the fleet attacking other ports has basically completed its mission at this moment and can come here to replace him.
Yan He and Wang Zhicheng immediately wrote to the fleet besieging the port, asking them to complete the mission and quickly replace the work of Hekou. At the same time, they notified the Cursed Land and Mingque Island, and asked them to transport the shells quickly.
Another day passed, and the impact in the estuary continued, and more ships were destroyed. Some rivers were blocked, and the two islands sent a large number of personnel to clean up.
Night fell again, and Yan He, who had been sleeping for less than two hours, came to the bow of the ship again. He now hoped that the fleet that attacked the port would arrive soon so that the sailors here could have a good rest. According to his estimate, the fleet closest to him would arrive in the middle of the night.
But things were far from as smooth as he thought. The fleet that he took over in the middle of the night did not arrive. And just as he was anxious to get the answer, a sudden gunfire came from behind, close to his flagship, and a huge wave of water exploded.
Yan He tilted his body and fell on the deck all of a sudden. He was stunned for a long time but couldn't recover. How could a ship attack him? Where did the ship come from? Did Ah Hong Island arrive? Is it so fast?
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Yan He's mind, and then another shell fell into the sea water next to the flagship, and the seven-layer treasure ship bumped.
"Be careful behind you, and be careful behind you!" Yan He roared, climbed up hard, and shouted: "Let the orca whales accompanying you to investigate, hurry up!"
Although the enemy has only fired two shells and seemed to have only one boat, Yan He always feels a very strong palpitations.
"Boom Boom Boom" Just a moment after he gave the order, the dense sound of cannons suddenly rang out, and the shells fell like raindrops. A five-layer treasure ship was hit on the bow of the ship during the attack and sank into the bottom of the sea in a moment.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, immediately!" Yan He was shocked and ordered loudly. This is definitely a trap. The other party had already made a secret arrangement.
This thought flashed, and Yan He could no longer care about continuing to block the river estuary. Judging from the trajectory of the shells, he might have been surrounded and must be withdrawn immediately, otherwise he would be eaten by the other party and even the belt bones.
"Boom~" Another huge firework exploded in the sky in the mouth of the river, but this time Yan He had no time to pay attention to it, so he had to quickly distance himself from the other party.
Without the suppression of the Yanhe fleet, the mouth of the river finally breathed a sigh of relief. Several five-story treasure ships rushed forward with all their might. The noise of the steam engine was extremely harsh.
The private soldiers on both sides of the strait frowned and sent out signals, but the fleet did not attack, but there was still a sound of cannons in the distance. Did the fleet encounter an enemy attack?
Although they were anxious, they had no way to do anything and could not use any effort at all.
Yan He's fleet finally began to accelerate, and more than ten ships lined up, laying their guns flat, and rushing forward with bombardment. In order to deter the other party, they could tear open the other party's encirclement.
"Where did the ship come from? Where did it come out!" Yan He's mind was full of this question. If it were Ah Hong Island's fleet that arrived and killed him, he wouldn't believe it. The Lord had already taken the initiative. The other party could not get through for less than ten days, let alone surrounded himself silently.
What made him relieved was that Hei Tian couldn't see clearly, and the other party could not see clearly. At first, he just surrounded himself with his voice. Now that he moved, it was not easy for the other party to lock himself again, as long as he could tear open their siege.
Just as Yan He tried hard to break out of the siege, what he didn't know was that the fleets of thirteen rivers in the two large islands were all similar to his situation. They were surrounded and attacked without realizing it. More than thirty ships had been lost in just half an hour!
