After Di Xin led a group of people back to the team without stopping, before Shen Qianhua and Xizi could speak, he ordered: "Mission accomplished, retreat!"
Making such a big fuss and staying so close to Dashi's army is simply asking for death.
Hearing this, everyone did not dare to delay, nor were they worried about making any noise like when they sneaked in yesterday. Instead, they left as quickly as possible in the opposite direction to the Dashi army.
During this period, two thousand divine soldiers maintained the formation.
Before Di Xin launched the surprise attack, Zeng Hongshen touched a place that he had not noticed yesterday.
As His Highness the Prince expected, there is indeed a Neiwan Lake here, and the iron-colored weapons on the boats in the lake are obviously not ordinary merchant ships.
It is the warship of Dashi's army.
And perhaps to ensure the success of the ambush, there were not many people left to guard the fleet.
But even so, Zeng Hongshen did not act rashly.
He looked back at the hillsides and trees that had previously blocked their observation, and made sure.
Just as the Neiwan Lake here cannot be seen from the beach, and the movements on the beach cannot be seen from here, the artillery on the ship naturally cannot aim at the fleet at sea.
but……
Zeng Hongshen looked at the angles of the cannons on the ship and made some estimates.
If the expeditionary force lands on the beach, then when the artillery positions there fire, there should also be a coordinated bombardment here.
It is impossible to aim in real time, but it can be aimed at an angle in advance.
Then, he also fell silent.
After Di Xin took action, Zeng Hongshen quietly sneaked to the shore while most of the attention of those guarding the fleet was attracted.
After touching the flare wrapped in oil paper in his arms, he slowly dived into the water.
We arrived at Neiwan Lake, in the middle of the fleet.
Perhaps it was because there was too little movement on the other side, so the fleet did not move rashly despite the situation.
And when a continuous loud noise came, there was some movement on the ship.
But Zeng Hongshen still made no move.
It wasn't until there was no more noise that he dived out of the water, half of his body exposed from the water in the shadow corner of a warship, and then took out the flare wrapped in oil paper from his arms.
He held the flare in his hand.
…
On the other side, the artillery camp.
When Di Xin and his party made the surprise attack, although the Dashi army ambushing elsewhere had noticed the movement, they did not react at first.
Although that is the direction of the artillery, it is not a problem to deal with just a few people.
It's the same even if there are experts inside.
After all, firearms are enough to deal with ordinary people, and if you are facing an expert, the army's combined attack formation is not a vegetarian.
Because of the existence of extraordinary beings, no matter what type of army they are, the combined attack formation for masters is a necessary training subject.
"Maybe they're just a few little thieves who don't know the heights of the world!"
This is what everyone thinks.
After all, although the land of Nanyang does not allow any force to be too strong, there are always a few people who think that they are the chosen ones and can change this situation.
Courage is commendable, but of no use.
The rebel thieves are all high-ranking people, and at most they are just a few petty thieves.
However, when the sound of grenades appeared, they finally realized that something was wrong.
But they still didn't panic at this moment.
After all, grenades are also one of their standard equipment. If they find that those little thieves are a little more difficult to deal with, it is not impossible to deal with them with grenades.
But as the noise grew louder and louder, and the sound of grenades continued, they finally couldn't sit still.
And when they decided to send a team to support, the dazzling fire and deafening noise finally made them realize the seriousness of the matter.
However, it's too late.
When they gathered more teams and hurried over to support, they only saw the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had not completely dissipated, the debris on the ground, and the ashen face of the artillery battalion commander.
After the artillery battalion commander's narration, the supporting personnel came to their senses.
That's not some petty thief.
That was the goal of their expedition, the surprise attack of the Great Li Expeditionary Force.
Just because before the expedition, His Majesty the Emperor said that if there is a second place in the world that has firearms, then it is definitely the Celestial Kingdom in the Eastern Continent.
The commander of the artillery battalion said in Western: "I have a bad feeling. The purpose of this surprise attack from the Eastern Continent is definitely not just this."
He has now controlled his emotions, but his face no longer looks very good.
"I can't think of an answer, but the only thing I can do now is to strike as hard as possible while the enemy fleet is still within the range of artillery."
"Wait a moment……"
He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and his eyes passed through the tragic battlefield, the beach that served as a trap, and landed on the fleet on the sea.
"The movement just now was so loud, why are they still staying there? Since they also have firearms, we should be able to deduce that this distance is still within the range of the artillery."
But no matter how confused he was, the fleet of the Great Li Expeditionary Force still stayed at its original position and did not make any reaction to the movement just now.
No, it cannot be said that there is no reaction at all.
The fleet that originally had its bows facing the beach, except for a few, was now facing sideways.
The unknown feeling in his heart became more and more intense, and the answer seemed to be right on his lips, as if he only needed to open his mouth to spit it out.
But what exactly is it?
It should be a very simple answer, it should be right in front of him. As he was thinking, his eyes couldn't help but sweep over the cannons that were still adjusting their angles.
Because of the sudden attack, their artillery had not been adjusted to the correct angle just now, and is now being adjusted urgently.
But at this moment, the line of sight that should have been swept across the whole place was fixed on an artillery piece that was about to be adjusted.
"Could it be..."
A flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and his expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, he heard another "whoosh" sound.
Although the voice was quieter, it was very familiar.
The artillery battalion commander subconsciously turned his head and saw a familiar firework exploding in the air.
And underneath the fireworks...
His face instantly turned extremely pale.
That's their warship.
"Hurry up……"
He didn't have time to explain, so he directly grabbed the arm of the person who came to help, and said in a hurry: "Send someone immediately to notify the fleet to evacuate."
The person who came to help had a puzzled look on his face, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but found that the artillery battalion commander suddenly collapsed on the ground.
He seemed to have thought of something and uttered a few words with a bitter look on his face.
