Chapter 189 Jungle Battle

After defeating more than 4,000 soldiers of the Roland Empire landed, Li Bin and his team seized more than 100 small wooden boats. Each of these small wooden boats that rely on paddles can carry about twenty people.

Sun Guanghao, the captain of the Thunder, immediately suggested to Li Bin: "Lord, Harvey Island is not far from the mainland coast of the Roland Empire. We can completely use these small wooden boats to break through at night."

Li Bin pondered for a moment and said, "Hide these small wooden boats in the woods first. Even if they are not far from Harvey Island to the mainland coast of the Roland Empire, they will have to be hundreds of miles away. It is not easy to rely on these small wooden boats to row the sea routes of hundreds of miles. Moreover, they have to face the encirclement and suppression of the warships of the Roland Empire. At that time, more than a thousand of us may not be able to reach the mainland coast of the Roland Empire alive."

Sun Guanghao said with a wry smile: "Lord, Harvey Island is an isolated island after all. Once the Roland Empire sends tens of thousands of troops to the island, we can..."

Before Sun Guanghao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Bin. "The jungle on Harvey Island is very large. As long as we hide in the jungle, even if the Roland Empire sends tens of thousands of troops to encircle us, it is not certain who will kill us!"

Lu Zhishen suggested at this time: "Lord, if the Roland Empire sends tens of thousands of troops, we can only retreat to the jungle and hide these small wooden boats in the jungle, and it will be easy to be discovered by the Roland army. I think some of the small wooden boats can be buried directly under the beach."

Li Bin nodded and said, "Then we will bury some of these more than a hundred small wooden boats and hide some of them. Using these small wooden boats to cross the sea route for hundreds of miles is only our last resort."

On the morning of the third day after the landing of more than 4,000 sailors from the Third Fleet of the Roland Empire failed, dozens of large transport ships arrived at the south of Harvey Island. Then tens of thousands of Roland soldiers began to land on Harvey Island, and a large number of war horses were also sent to the beach of Harvey Island.

Li Bin discovered that the Roland Empire sent a large number of troops to land on Harvey Island this time, and at least tens of thousands of people, so he did not lead troops to take the initiative to attack the landed Roland army, but directly led everyone to retreat into the jungle of Harvey Island.

Abram, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Roland Empire, stood on the beach of Harvey Island, and smiled and said to a rather burly general of the Roland Empire: "Marquis, it seems that the Yan people are hiding in the jungle of Harvey Island."

This burly general of the Roland Empire, named Ye Feimud, is a hereditary marquis of the Roland Empire and is also the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Roland Empire.

The army of the Roland Empire currently has a total of 36 legions, each of which has several 10,000 teams. The Sixth Legion is considered the main legion among the army of the Roland Empire, with a total of 15 10,000 teams. Including the troops directly under the Sixth Legion, the total strength of the entire Sixth Legion is almost 160,000.

Ye Feimd, the commander of the Sixth Legion, frowned and said, "Earl Abram, for a group of less than 2,000 Yan Army, is it a bit too much for us to mobilize such a group of troops? This time I brought three thousand heavy cavalry and five teams of ten thousand infantry."

Abram said with a wry smile: "Marquis, this group of troops of the Great Yan Empire is definitely not an ordinary Yan Kingdom army. Three days ago, more than 4,000 sailors from the Third Fleet under my command were easily rushed by more than 200 heavy cavalrymen in this group of Yan Kingdom army. I even suspect that the combat effectiveness of the more than 200 heavy cavalrymen of the Yan Kingdom is comparable to that of the Golden Knights of our Roland Empire."

Ye Feimd heard Abram say that the combat effectiveness of more than 200 heavy cavalry of Yan State was comparable to that of the Golden Knights of the Roland Empire, and he couldn't help but feel that Abram's words were exaggerated.

The Golden Knights of the Roland Empire can be said to be the most elite unit of the Roland Empire. Ye Feimud was once a member of the Golden Knights.

Each knight who joins the Golden Knights must reach the level of the Purple Knight at the lowest level. Currently, there are only more than a thousand Golden Knights in the Roland Empire, among which the number of Red Knights exceeds 200, and the rest are Purple Knights.

Ye Feimud immediately smiled and said, "I have only heard of a powerful country in the east called the Great Yan Empire. The combat effectiveness of its army is very strong. Today I just look at it. Is it because of my Luolan army strong or the Yan army strong?"

The Roland army landed on Harvey Island today, not only the more than 50,000 troops of the Sixth Army, but Abram, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Roland Empire, also gathered more than 6,000 sailors to cooperate with the Sixth Army to encircle and suppress the Yan army on Harvey Island.

However, the encirclement and suppression operation was very difficult. After the army of the Roland Empire entered the jungle, due to the vast jungle area, the Roland army could only conduct searches like casting nets separately.

Li Bin took advantage of the opportunity of Roland's army's division of troops to search and led people to attack Roland's army with hundreds or more than a thousand people.

Almost 60,000 Roland's army encircled and suppressed the jungle on Harvey Island for four days. Not only did it not eliminate Li Bin and others, but it also lost nearly 20,000 people.

Of course, Li Bin was not relaxed during the four-day jungle battle. On the evening of the fourth day of the jungle battle, the sixty-four wolf generals around Li Bin turned into sixty wolf generals, and the Knights of Glory were only left with twenty-seven purple-light knights and eighty-two blue-light knights.

Nearly 300 personal bodyguards beside Li Bin also died in battle, leaving 223 personal bodyguards.

Because of their average martial arts, the sailors and soldiers of the Thunder were suffering even more heavy losses in the four-day jungle battle, leaving only fifty-two sailors and two hundred and forty soldiers. Even Sun Guanghao, the captain of the Thunder, was shot to death by an arrow during the battle.

The four Vajras, Lu Zhishen, Xie Bao and Xie Gui are safe and sound. In addition, there are four new faces around Li Bin, all of whom were summoned by Li Bin from the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

Wu Yunzhao, among the "Talking about the Complete Biography of Tang", was the fifth most powerful general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Wu Yunzhao was very skilled in martial arts and extremely powerful. His weapons were 160 kilograms of 1.5 million silver snake spear. His father, the right servant Wu Jianzhang, was framed by the court's treacherous party. He then promoted the troops from Nanyang Pass to rebel against Sui, but he was defeated by the Sui general Yuwen Chengdu. He then defected to Li Zitong, King Fengming of Hebei, and served as the commander-general.

Wu Tianxi, among the "Talking about the Complete Biography of Tang", ranked sixth in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Wu Tianxi's arms are powerful enough to have tens of thousands of kilograms and is very skilled in martial arts. He makes a pair of Huntian trolls weighing 200 kilograms. He is Wu Yunzhao's clan brother.

Lu Junyi, a fictional general in the novel "Water Margin", nicknamed Yu Qilin, has a strong martial arts skills and an unparalleled stick in the world. He is known as the "Three Wonders of Hebei" in the martial arts world.

Lu Junyi was originally a wealthy businessman, rich man, and official in Daming Prefecture, Hebei Province. After being tricked by Wu Yong and others to go to Liangshan, he became the second leader of Liangshan.

After Lu Junyi and Song Jiang were recruited together, they conquered the Liao Kingdom, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La. They were appointed as the Wugong Doctor and the Luzhou Pacification Envoy.

Cai Jing and other treacherous ministers summoned Lu Junyi to return to Beijing and placed the mercury in the food given to him by the emperor. Lu Junyi was so painful that he could not ride a horse, so he had to take a boat back to Luzhou. On the way, he vomited blood on the boat and drowned in the water.

Lu Wenlong, a fictional general in "Talking about Yue Quan Biography", was originally the son of Lu Deng, the governor of Lu'an Prefecture. After Lu'an Prefecture was captured by the Jin soldiers, he became the adopted son of Jin Wushu. Later, after learning about his life experience, Lu Wenlong returned to the Song Dynasty and became one of the top generals in the Yue family's army.

There were nearly a thousand soldiers and officers of Roland killed by Li Bin himself, and there were three positions of the Tai Chi Bagua Chart that were originally bright, so Li Bin summoned four powerful generals, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, Lu Junyi, and Lu Wenlong.

Although Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, Lu Junyi and Lu Wenlong had never cultivated their vitality, the strength shown by the four of them in the battle with the Roland army was all at the level of a master. The four of them added a considerable combat power to Li Bin.

Xie Bao walked to Li Bin with a piece of paper and whispered: "Lord, everyone is less than 700 now. The environment in the jungle of Harvey Island is too harsh and there are many poisons. Many brothers were not killed by enemies' swords, but were bitten to death by poisonous snakes or poisonous insects."

Li Bin said with a serious expression: "No matter how harsh the environment in this jungle is, we have to persevere. If we leave this jungle, our little soldiers will soon be submerged by tens of thousands of Roland troops."

As soon as Li Bin finished speaking, Lu Junyi walked over quickly, "Lord, a Roland army has been searching."

Li Bin immediately took a pair of black iron rods in his hand, "It's almost dark, don't stop at all, go! Kill them all! Find a place to camp again!"

The Roland army that was searching for was two fully organized teams of 1,000 troops of the Sixth Legion of the Roland Empire, with a total of more than 2,000 people, but they were soon defeated by less than 700 people led by Li Bin.

Then Li Bin led the remaining soldiers and disappeared into the vast jungle.

"Bang--" Ye Feimde, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Roland Empire, kicked the wooden table in front of him and said gritting his teeth: "I, Ye Feimde, swear, I, must kill all this group of Yan State army, without leaving any remaining!"

Ye Feimud just learned that in the evening of this sixth Legion, two thousand-man teams were defeated by the Yan army, and even two thousand-man teams and three deputy thousand-man teams were killed in battle.

In just four days of jungle battle, the Sixth Legion had lost two ten thousand commanders, three deputy ten thousand commanders, twenty-two thousand commanders, forty deputy thousand commanders, and officers and soldiers below the deputy ten thousand commanders. If the battle in the evening was added, the losses would almost reach 20,000.

At this time, Abram, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Roland Empire in the camp, said in a deep voice: "Marquis, it is not a solution to continue this stalemate. The jungle on Harvey Island is not only vast in area, but also many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. The non-combat reduction in both sides has exceeded a thousand people."

Ye Feimd frowned and asked, "Earl Abram, what do you think you should do next?"

"Set the fire and force the Yan people out of the jungle."

"Set fire? The jungle of Harvey Island is very wet, so setting fire should not be easy."

"Even if it's wet, so many trees in the jungle should be easy to ignite, so we can give it a try."

"Okay! Then tomorrow we will let the teams searching in the jungle exit and try to ignite this jungle."

Because the jungle was vast, it took two days for the Roland army to search in the jungle to leave the jungle. However, the Roland army had just begun to set fire, but it started to rain heavily on Harvey Island.

The commander of the Sixth Legion, Ye Feimud, looked at the heavy rain outside the camp and said in great frustration: "It seems that this heavy rain cannot stop for a while. After this heavy rain, it will be even more difficult to ignite this jungle."

The commander of the Third Fleet, Abram, suddenly whispered: "Marquis, after several days of encirclement and suppression, there are not many people left. Why not report directly to His Majesty the Emperor and have wiped out the Yan army that tried to capture Harvey Island."

When Ye Feimud heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, "But what should we do if the remaining Yan troops on Harvey Island do?"

"Marquis, as far as I know, this group of Yan army was blown to Havi Island because of the warships they were riding on, and encountered a sea storm. The Great Yan Empire in the east should not have the strength to send troops to our Roland Empire. The remaining Yan army on Havi Island let them fend for themselves on this isolated island. I will send warships to block Havi Island and clear the fugitive slaves on Havi Island."

"So how do you report to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Marquis, do you think this is OK? Our third fleet first fought hard and wiped out nearly 50 warships of the Great Yan Empire at the cost of sinking twenty-five warships. Then our third fleet dispatched more than 10,000 sailors to cooperate with the Sixth Corps to clear the Yan army landed on Harvey Island. In the end, we both sides wiped out almost 40,000 Yan troops on Harvey Island with more than 25,000 casualties."

"There are too few troops of the 40,000 Yan State, so it is better to write about the 60,000 Yan State. Then we two will report the victory to His Majesty the Emperor in the name of the Sixth Army and the Third Fleet respectively."

"Okay! Just do what the Marquis said!"

Then the commander of the Sixth Legion, Ye Feimde, sighed and said, "According to the narratives of the generals who fought with the Yan army, the combat effectiveness of the Yan army on Harvey Island is indeed very amazing, especially the heavy cavalry of the Yan country, whose strength is comparable to that of the Knights of the Golden Knights. Now the Tuz Empire has become an allies with the Great Yan Empire. I am worried that once the empire takes action against the Tuz Empire, our Roland Empire may suffer a great loss at the hands of the Great Yan Empire."

Abram, the commander of the Third Fleet, shook his head and said, "The Yan army on Harvey Island should be the elite among the elites of the Great Yan Empire. If the army of the Great Yan Empire had such combat power, then the Great Yan Empire might have unified the entire world long ago."

Ye Feimud waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't think about these things for now. We will return to Gwadar Port tomorrow. I really don't want to stay here for a day."
