In fact, there have long been rumors in the capital and Jiangnan that Jin Feng can do magic.
Zheng Chiyuan has also heard of it, but he didn't believe it before and thought it was all made up by storytellers.
But now, he was a little shaken.
The current situation is beyond his understanding.
There is no way to explain it except magic.
Some timid navy soldiers were already kneeling on the deck, bowing to the place where the fireball appeared.
The military palace is not as deep as that of civilian officials. Although Zheng Chiyuan knew that it was inappropriate to ask, he still couldn't help but curiously asked: "General Jin, what's going on with the fireball in the sky? How did you send people to the back mountain?"
"General Zheng makes atonement. This is a military secret. Please forgive me for not commenting!"
After trying so hard to cover up the flames of the hot air balloon, Jin Feng was so stupid that he took the initiative to tell Zheng Chiyuan.
"Zheng was reckless."
Zheng Chiyuan felt regretful, but it was difficult to ask further questions.
He raised his hands and asked, "General Jin, what should we do next?"
"Next, General Zheng just needs to send my people to the island, and then block the exit to prevent the water bandits' boats from escaping!"
Jin Feng said: "Leave the rest to us!"
"I heard that there are more than a thousand water bandits in this group, but you only have a few hundred, is that okay?"
Zheng Chiyuan asked: "How about I send Lieutenant Dong and a thousand people to land on the island with you?"
"No need, we can't do it on the water, but as long as we get ashore, the water bandits are just a bunch of chickens and dogs!"
Jin Feng waved his hand and said.
In fact, this attack went much smoother than he imagined.
The water bandits didn't know how to organize their troops at all, so they parked all the ships randomly in the same area, and even put the chamber of commerce's ship at the outside.
Now the cargo ships of the Chamber of Commerce have been burned, and other ships are suffocated inside.
Without the boat, the water bandits had no choice but to jump into the sea and stay on Crab Claw Island, waiting for the escort to land on the island.
In fact, it would be useless even if the water bandits had boats.
Before the torches were lit, the navy had completely blocked the exit.
Without several times the strength, there is no way to rush out.
Zheng Chi saw Jin Feng's insistence and said no more, directing his men to use a small boat to carry the escort to the island.
In fact, this is the best time to stop the water bandits, but the water bandits have already become a mess, and no one is under unified command, so no one cares about them at all.
There were some water bandits who saw it, but as soon as they saw the escorts and watermen in large numbers, these water bandits became intimidated and turned around and ran away.
Hundreds of escorts all landed on the island in such a swagger.
Da Zhuang and Monkey both went to the back mountain for a surprise attack, so the command task was handed over to Han Feng.
After the escorts landed on the island, Han Feng first gathered the escorts and then divided them into three teams. They rushed to different areas based on the intelligence collected.
At this time, the battle in the back mountain also entered a fever pitch.
The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle on the narrow mountain road.
The number of escorts is too small, so Monkey and the others can only try their best to use their weapons to their advantage.
Heavy crossbows, catapults, grenades... take turns.
The second master knew very well that only by seizing the hostages could he have a way to survive.
So he desperately urged the water bandits to attack.
The water bandits were repelled time and time again, and rushed up again and again.
Moreover, the second master also learned a lesson and no longer allowed the water bandits to gather together, but dispersed their attacks.
This way you can use up the escort's weapons as much as possible.
The monkeys came in a hot air balloon, and they didn't carry many weapons.
After holding on to the stick of incense, all the arrows of the heavy crossbow were used up, and only one grenade was left.
The catapult refills too slowly...
The escort's battle line continued to move back.
After fighting for so long, the monkey had already discovered that the second master was directing and supervising the battle from behind.
As long as this person is dealt with, the water bandits will be defeated.
But the second boss has been hiding behind the stone, and there is no way to snipe him from a distance.
Seeing that the enemy had rushed halfway up the mountain road, the monkey was also furious.
Just let people throw flash bombs, and then rush down the hillside with a squad of escorts and go straight to the second master's house.
This was the first time flash bombs were used on Crab Claw Island. The unsuspecting water bandits were immediately hit and all became blind.
As if they were in an uninhabited area, Monkey and the others rushed behind the boulder and killed the second master with one knife.
Then he led his men back and slashed wildly at the blinded water bandits.
The water bandits had long since lost their courage, and now the second master was killed again. After regaining their sight, each one ran faster than the other.
It's terrible here!
They don't know that the scarier thing is actually yet to come.
At the bottom of the mountain, fighting has also broken out.
Fighting with real swords and guns is the best way to test a warrior.
The difference between the elite and the mob is now clear.
There are only a few hundred escorts in total, and some remain on the naval fleet to control heavy crossbows and catapults.
Da Zhuang and Monkey took away two more platoons.
Therefore, the total number of escorts who followed Han Feng to the island was only about 500.
There are more than a thousand water bandits, more than twice as many as the bodyguards, and they also have the terrain advantage for home battles.
However, facing the attack of the bodyguards, the water bandits were just as Jin Feng said, like chickens and dogs, broken into pieces by the bodyguards' touch.
The escorts were still in the classic formation, with the male soldiers in black armor in front and the female soldiers holding crossbows in the back. They were like bulldozers, mercilessly crushing and advancing.
More than a thousand water bandits were forcefully forced into an open space on the mountainside by hundreds of bodyguards.
Behind the open space is a cliff more than ten feet high.
On the battleship, Jin Feng realized that the victory was determined, turned around and said: "Da Liu, prepare the boat, let's land on the island too."
Zheng Chiyuan was shocked when he heard that Jin Feng was going to the island.
When two armies are fighting, the general will generally not visit the front line in person.
Not only because of fear of death, but also because once the general is injured, it will have a huge impact on morale.
Failure to do so will overturn the tide of battle.
But thinking that Jin Feng's ideas were always upright, Zheng Chiyuan opened his mouth, but in the end did not speak to dissuade him, but just watched Jin Feng land on the island.
Before Jin Feng set off, he had seen the map drawn by the fishermen countless times. He was probably more familiar with Crab Claw Island than the water bandits.
After landing on the island, he didn't stop at all and walked northward with his hands behind his back.
At this time, the fighting was still going on. Many huts were set alight by falling torches. There were shouts of death and fire everywhere on the island.
But Jin Feng walked calmly as if he was walking, with his hands behind his back.
"No wonder he has achieved such success at such a young age!"
Zheng Chiyuan looked at Jin Feng's back with emotion.
Literary men look down upon each other, and so do martial men.
Zheng Chiyuan was very unconvinced when he heard that Jin Feng was awarded a title based on his military merits when he was not yet twenty years old.
He believed that Jin Feng was a puppet supported by the Qing family.
After all, Qinghuai is already a Marquis and has no room for advancement.
Rather than benefiting others with military merit, it is better to support a puppet and come out to claim it.
In fact, it's not surprising that Zheng Chiyuan thought so. The two battles Jin Feng participated in were closely related to the Qing family.
That's why Zheng Chiyuan was so enthusiastic before, but he still despised Jin Feng in his heart, so he opened his mouth and directly asked for a thousand heavy crossbows and catapults.
But following Jin Feng's encirclement and suppression of the water bandits, and witnessing the entire process, Zheng Chiyuan was completely convinced.
