The seaside is very cool in the early morning. A slight sea breeze blows, and the slightly salty cool breeze is refreshing, making people feel indescribably comfortable.
At this time, Liu Yan was wearing armor, and behind him were four small flag officers, Wang Bo, Chen Xun, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming, and forty-eight Dunjun troops.
On the other side, Wang Wenzhen and Jia Hongyu were arranging their troops. More than two hundred soldiers and horses from Wangjiazhuang had already lined up, and Jia Hongyu was mobilizing before the attack.
Liu Yan ordered Wang Bo and Chen Xun to get ready, with Chen Xun's team as the vanguard, Liu Yan himself and the Ye Bu Shu team as the middle, and Wang Bo's team as the back-up. When the attack started, everyone would be on top. Then Liu Yan came to Wang Wenzhen to ask for instructions.
Wang Wenzhen pointed to the tidal flat ahead and said, "Look, Mr. Liu, this place is some distance away from the tidal flat bay where the pirates hide. They probably don't know where we are yet. Tell me, how are we going to fight this battle?"
Liu Yan said: "Lord Qi, we learned from our investigation the night before that there are pirates guarding the beach path entering the bay. We don't know how many pirates there are yet, but according to the situation of the attack on the salt drying field, Judging from the looks of it, there are at least dozens of pirates in this group, and if we rush to attack from the front, we may suffer a loss."
"Well, I think so too, but there is only one beach path to pass through here, which is really difficult."
Liu Yan thought for a while, and although he was ready to attack, he still thought it would be better to be cautious. The dozens of Dunjun troops in Dapanbao now have all his wealth, and he cannot afford a defeat.
So Liu Yan said: "My subordinates think it is better to let Ye Bushou investigate again to see if there is any possibility of a surprise attack. If there is really no other way, it will not be too late for us to attack by force."
Wang Wenzhen was convinced, so he called Shen Tuo to Xunshan Dunye, explained Liu Yan's proposal, and then asked: "You are familiar with the terrain of our Wangjiazhuang. You should know something about this place as well." Situation, is there a place where I can bypass the tidal path?"
Shen Tuo frowned slightly, thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes!"
Liu Yan and Wang Wenzhen asked hurriedly: "Where is the road?"
Half an hour later, there was a small reef area to the south of the tidal path. Shen Tuo was lying on the ground staring at the water in front of him, as if waiting for something.
Behind Shen Tuo, Liu Yan, Wang Bo, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Chen Xun were all lying on the ground, trying their best to hide in the rocks, while the forty-six Dunjun troops from the three teams of Dapanbao were all crawling. it's here.
"Chief A, is Shen Tuo reliable? Is there a way around this sea water?"
Liu Yan looked back at Chen Xun, who was doubtful, and whispered: "Don't worry, Shen Tuo is probably waiting for the tide to ebb."
"Ebb tide?"
As he was speaking, Shen Tuo lowered his voice and said, "The tide is out, Mr. Liu Qi, we have to prepare to go in."
Liu Yan nodded and waved behind him. Everyone nervously picked up their weapons and prepared to crawl forward.
This time Liu Yan took the initiative to lead his troops to follow Shen Tuoqi and let Wang Wenzhen lead his troops to wait for news. Once Liu Yan succeeded, Wang Wenzhen would lead his troops to attack from the front tidal path.
Faced with Liu Yan's "good intentions", Wang Wenzhen naturally nodded in agreement. With Liu Yan taking the initiative to take over the hard work of the surprise attack, why wouldn't he do it?
Jia Hongyu on the side inevitably praised Liu Yan again and said a lot of good things for Liu Yan. Wang Wenzhen immediately said that he would reward everyone in Dapanbao well after returning.
At this time, Liu Yan stared at the sea and saw that the water was receding at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, a sandy shoal could be seen from the shallow water, winding towards the bay where the pirates were hiding. .
Shen Tuo nodded to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan immediately roared: "Follow me, get up!"
Everyone in Dapanbao crawled forward, following Liu Yan and Shen Tuo. They left the reef area, then lowered their bodies and entered the bay from the sandy shoal.
"Mr. Liu Qi, we must fight quickly. The sea water here will rise again in less than half an hour. If the surprise attack is not successful, we must retreat back as soon as possible, otherwise we will be blocked by the sea water in the bay. "
Liu Yan nodded in agreement, and then saw the scene in front of him.
I saw many simple houses built in the bay. About forty pirates gathered here. They were all men, and there were many weapons and supplies scattered everywhere. Although the entire bay was not big, it was still a place. , but at this time, it was made chaotic by these pirates, like a gathering area of refugees.
"Officers and soldiers!"
"It's a pirate!"
The bay was unobstructed, and both sides discovered each other immediately. However, more than forty people on Liu Yan's side had already formed their formations. Wang Bo and Chen Xun had already commanded two teams of thirty-six people in total. When they were ready, they saw that two teams of eight gunmen had already lit the match ropes, eight birdguns wrapped in oil paper had been raised horizontally, and twenty-four spearmen had raised their guns and were on standby. The four sword and shield players from the two teams raised their shields to defend in front of the formation, covering the gunners' shooting.
Miao Shao and Xu Ming led ten Ye Bu Zhai, and together with Shen Tuo, they went around from the left. Their goal was the treasures in the bay. These pirates were all doing business without capital, so they would definitely There is a lot of storage of goods.
At the same time, these Ye Bu Shou are also Liu Yan's strongest combat power. After attacking from the flank, they can also disrupt the morale of the pirates and flank the enemy.
On the other hand, the pirates' side can be described as disorganized at this time. A tall and strong pirate leader was yelling curses on a rock, roaring and commanding his men to fight. However, dozens of pirates had no discipline at all, just in the bay. Running and screaming inside.
Some people picked up knives and guns and rushed forward to fight, some were hiding aside and waiting for an opportunity, some turned around and wanted to run back into the house to search for belongings, and some just turned around and ran away without any intention of fighting.
Seeing the behavior of more than 40 pirates, Liu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. These pirates are just a mob. They can do a sneak attack, but once they face the regular army, they are just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
"Fire!"
Liu Yan slashed forward with force with the Yanling Saber in his hand, and the eight gunmen fired at the same time. Although there were only eight birdguns, they also caused a big blow to the pirates. Six pirates were killed on the spot. The remaining twenty or so people who rushed up were all stunned.
In the understanding of these pirates, the firearms of the official army are all decorations and have no lethality at all. The real threat is the spearmen.
But this time the volley fired, the six pirates who rushed at the front fell to the ground and died, and were beaten into bloody gourds. You must know that these six people are the most ferocious among the pirates. It can be said that this group of pirates has the courage. . God knows why this army's firearms were so sharp, but they didn't explode!
Over there, the Ye Bu Shu team, which had dispersed many pirates, was also progressing smoothly. Xu Ming led three people to search house by house. Miao Shao and Shen Tuo also headed here with the remaining seven Ye Bu Shu. Rush to support.
Shen Tuo also saw the volley scene just now, with a shocked expression on his face, and then he was very moved, as if he remembered something from the past.
Here, Liu Yan issued a second order: "Go forward and kill!"
The eight musketeers had put away their muskets and pulled out their swords with their backhands. The twenty-four spearmen roared and stepped forward with their guns drawn. The four swordsmen and shieldmen were also on the side for protection. The two teams of piers cooperated in an orderly manner. Under the leadership of Liu Yan, Chen Xun and Wang Bo, they fought towards the front.
This is the first battle of the Dapanbao Dunjun. Everyone, including Liu Yan, is very nervous. The Dunjuns are even more frightened. However, due to the rigorous training in daily life and Liu Yan's decision to "disobey orders," The stipulation of "immediate expulsion from Dapanbao" prevented the more than 40 Dunjun soldiers from having the slightest thought, and everyone followed the team to kill the pirates in front.
"ah!"
With screams one after another, the pirates who had been stunned by the cannons collapsed at the first touch. After more than a dozen people were stabbed to death by the Dapanbao Dunjun, the remaining pirates finally collapsed and ran towards the beach path. , wanting to escape from the entrance.
When Liu Yan saw this, he didn't stop him. After all, there was a large group of Wang Wenzhen's troops blocking him outside the bottom lane of the tidal flat.
At this time, Liu Yan ordered Chen Xun's team to occupy one end of the beach path, and then asked Wang Bo to lead the team to clear out the remaining pirates in the bay, and let everyone search for the pirates' stores at night.
Suddenly, Liu Yan saw the tall and muscular leader of the pirates appearing not far away. He cut off the spear of a Dun Jun with one knife, and then kicked him away with just one kick. hurt.
Then the pirate leader also discovered Liu Yan. After all, Liu Yan, as the chief flag officer, had different badges than others, so the pirate leader roared and rushed over, trying to hold Liu Yan hostage.
"Hmph, looking for death!"
Liu Yan raised his sword and rushed forward. Not far away, Miao Shao, Xu Ming and others also rushed over. However, Shen Tuo was faster, and after a few quick steps, he was walking side by side with Liu Yan.
"Um?"
Liu Yan was also surprised. He was really impressed by Ye BuZhou, who could keep up with his own speed.
"Go to hell!"
The long knife in the hand of the pirate leader was very heavy, and he slashed it hard at Liu Yan. It was so powerful and heavy that it struck Liu Yan's head with a sound of wind, as if it had a huge force.
Liu Yan was not afraid, and he fought hard with the Yanling knife in his hand from bottom to top. He only heard the sound of gold and iron, a spark flashed between the two long knives, and the pirate leader struck directly with all his strength. blocked.
At this time, not only did the pirate leader look at Liu Yan in disbelief, but Shen Tuo, who rushed over and was worried about Liu Yan's safety, also had shock in his eyes: "This General Liu Qi is so brave!"
Shen Tuo didn't stop at his feet. He held a relatively light long-handled scimitar in his hand. Before the pirate leader had time to retract the long knife, he slashed the pirate leader's abdomen with his sword. Then he dodged and slashed his head!
As the body of the pirate leader collapsed, Liu Yan put his sword into its sheath. His hands were still a little numb at this time. He said he was not afraid of lying just now, but Liu Yan could still remain calm on the surface.
Then Liu Yan smiled and said to Shen Tuo: "Brother Shen is so good at it. It seems that Xunshan Dun is also a crouching tiger, hidden dragon."
Shen Tuo cupped his fists and said a few words of humility, not to mention praising Liu Yan's bravery. Liu Yan looked at Shen Tuo and thought in his mind: "This Shen Tuo is good at skills and his force is not inferior to mine. I will definitely find an opportunity in the future and recruit Shen Tuo over!"
At this moment, Chen Xun, Wang Bo, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming also ran over and asked Liu Yan if he was injured. Liu Yan smiled and said: "I'm fine, he's just a pirate, he can't hurt me! "
After speaking, Liu Yan asked everyone about their situation.
At this time, the enemies in the bay had been cleared, and about a dozen pirates escaped along the beach path. However, there must have been more than 200 people from Wangwen Town guarding the outside, and these pirates could not escape.
In addition, Miao Shao came up with a face of joy, glanced at Shen Tuo who was a few steps away, and then lowered his voice and said: "Chief A, the brothers over there have found something good, there is a big deal!"
