Crab Claw Island is actually a crater with an opening missing.
In order to prevent the bodyguard from rescuing people, the water bandits imprisoned the captured bodyguard on one of the tops of the mountain.
This top of the mountain is the No. 6 position in the monkey's mouth.
There were only two paths leading to position 6 at the foot of the mountain. Monkey rushed to the intersection with a group of escorts, quickly opened the boxes, and skillfully assembled a portable heavy crossbow and a small catapult.
On the other side, Da Zhuang was not idle either.
Not far from where the water bandits on watch were killed, there were two shabby huts.
The captured escorts and chamber of commerce guys were imprisoned here.
During the day they would be taken to the highest point on the island to hang there for several hours, and then brought back at night.
Da Zhuang opened the door of the hut and lit the torch.
In the small thatched hut, there were people everywhere on the ground.
Not one by one, but one on top of the other.
No matter the bodyguard or the chamber of commerce clerk, none of them had any clothes.
His hands and feet were also tied tightly with ropes.
The ropes on many people's hands and feet have been cut deeply into their flesh.
There is excrement everywhere on the ground, and even in winter, it still smells bad.
"Damn water bandits!"
Da Zhuang was so angry that he punched the wall.
After being tortured by water bandits for so long, and suffering from cold and hunger every day, the bodyguards and chamber of commerce guys were in an extremely weak state, and even raising their heads became extremely laborious.
It wasn't until Da Zhuang inserted the torch into the wall that one of the bodyguards raised his head vigorously and glanced at him.
The bodyguard's originally dull eyes suddenly burst into endless brilliance the moment he recognized Da Zhuang.
"Da... Da Zhuang?"
The escort shouted tentatively.
"Old Liang, you have suffered!"
Da Zhuang knelt down and patted Lao Liang's shoulder bitterly.
"Dazhuang, really...is it really you?"
Lao Liang trembled and stuck out his tongue, biting it hard.
After noticing the pain, he murmured to himself: "I'm not dreaming! I'm not dreaming!"
Then he suddenly went crazy and shouted: "Brothers, wake up! Da Zhuang is here to save us!"
In fact, Lao Liang was not the only one who heard the noise just now, but everyone thought it was the water bandits who came to take them to the top of the mountain to be humiliated again, so they didn't bother to look.
Now after hearing Lao Liang's words, they all turned their heads.
When they saw Da Zhuang, all the escorts and chamber of commerce guys were stunned for a moment.
Then everyone struggled excitedly to get up.
But their hands and feet were tied up and they couldn't stand up at all.
"Don't worry, everyone, I'm here to untie you!"
Da Zhuang endured the pain in his heart and pulled out the dagger from his waist.
The platoon leader following Da Zhuang also pulled out his dagger and wanted to help.
But the house was too small and there was really no place to stay, so I had to give up.
He turned around and said: "Squad leader, go take off the water bandits' clothes!"
Before they came, they had no idea that the water bandits would be so crazy that they took off the clothes of the bodyguards and chamber of commerce guys. They were not prepared at all.
And they were all wearing black armor, and they couldn't take it off and give it to Lao Liang and the others, so they had to dehydrate the bandit's clothes.
In the house, Da Zhuang had cut the ropes around Lao Liang's hands and feet and pulled him out.
Lao Liang was too weak and badly injured, and could not even stand.
Da Zhuang handed Lao Liang to the squad leader, turned around and rushed into the hut.
When he helped an escort out again, Lao Liang already had a cotton-padded jacket on him.
After getting two people out, there was finally some space in the hut, and the platoon leader immediately sent people to help Da Zhuang.
The further to the back, the faster the rescue speed.
Ten minutes later, all the bodyguards and chamber of commerce guys in the hut were brought out.
When Da Zhuang realized that the number of people was not enough, his heart suddenly tightened. He ran to Lao Liang and asked, "Where are the other brothers being held?"
"There are no other brothers. The ones who are still alive are all here!" Lao Liang said weakly.
"Everyone else is dead?" Da Zhuang couldn't help clenching his fists, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.
According to intelligence, the total number of bodyguards and chamber of commerce men who were captured at the time exceeded sixty.
But there are less than thirty people left here.
In other words, all the remaining thirty people are dead.
Even among the more than 20 people who are still alive, many are so weak that it is difficult to open their eyes. It is still unknown whether they can survive.
Lao Liang sat wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket for a while and finally came to his senses.
Using all his strength, he raised his hand and grabbed Da Zhuang's arm: "Dazhuang, weren't you in Xichuan with your husband? Why are you here?"
Hearing this, the other escorts also looked over.
I was just so excited that I forgot about this.
"Sir, I heard that you were captured and immediately brought us to rescue you!" Da Zhuang said.
"Sir, are you here too?" Lao Liang's eyes turned red.
"Here we go, we're on the boat right now."
"Ship? Where is it?" Lao Liang turned around and looked around.
At this time, he discovered something was wrong again.
The place where they were imprisoned was behind the water bandits' barracks. Logically speaking, to get here, they had to break through the water bandits' barracks.
But now the water bandits' barracks are quiet, and it doesn't look like they have experienced a battle at all.
Lao Liang asked tentatively: "Dazhuang, how did you get here? Did you climb up the cliff?"
After asking, he shook his head: "No, if you climb a cliff and go up a mountain, you definitely won't wear armor..."
"Okay, stop guessing. If you break your head, you won't even know how we got here."
Da Zhuang patted Lao Liang's shoulder and was about to continue talking when he suddenly heard the sound of a bamboo whistle in the air.
Choo Choo Choo!……
Da Zhuang looked in the direction of the sound, but saw nothing.
But he knew that the eagle was hiding in the night sky.
This was a signal to him that the hot air balloon was in position.
Da Zhuang quickly stood up and picked up a torch.
I found a high ground and drew a circle in the air with my torch.
A moment later, a torch suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance, also drawing a circle in the sky.
"Sir, you are here too!"
Da Zhuang was overjoyed when he saw this. He picked up another torch and waved it with both hands at the same time.
This was the signal he had discussed with Jin Feng and the Eagles.
Indicates that everyone is in place.
"Haha, brothers, it's time for us to take action!"
In the basket of the hot air balloon, the eagle said excitedly: "We are going to be blown away soon, so hurry up!"
After saying that, he picked up an oil jar from the box at his feet, lit it, and smashed it through the gap in the curtain.
On the sea below, there are ships of various sizes docked.
The outermost row of cargo ships also has heavy crossbows and catapults on its deck.
These cargo ships were snatched by water bandits from Lao Liang and the others.
The mission of the Eagle is to burn these cargo ships to avoid a fight later, when the water bandits use heavy crossbows and catapults to threaten the navy.
The hot air balloon was now above the cargo ship, and the oil jar just landed on the deck.
Snapped!
The oil altar was smashed to pieces, and the fire oil inside was scattered everywhere.
The next second, a raging fire broke out on the deck.
This oil altar has officially kicked off the battle!
