One thousand eight hundred people gathered on the north shore, and all the flags were wet and wrapped tightly on the flagpole in the rainy night. Only the black skeleton banner hanging on the long pole in Zhendonghai was still displayed, and the four leaders of Zhendonghai were all standing under the flag at this time.

The heavy rainstorm was everywhere, and the four brothers in Zhendonghai almost all had the same equipment, with black leather armor and a steel horizontal knife and a shield.

Zhang Chengzong stood beside Li Guan and said, "When the war is coming, the Lord remember not to get too close to them!"

"Why?" Li Guan asked sternly.

"They are now starting to go crazy, and their hearts are full of revenge. After a while, they will definitely fight the most fiercely and will become the biggest target to attract all the guards."

Li Yan smiled, "What is needed on the battlefield is this fighting will. Today's battle is not for Zhendonghai, but for ourselves. After a while, everyone should not have any reservations. There is advancement but no retreat in this battle, and there is no need to succeed."

Compared with the silver armor he had before, the white beard's current set of equipment was not even a bit gorgeous. The leather armor connected by gray cowhide rivets did not have any pattern decoration, but only many sword marks. His weapon was a horizontal knife, but not an ordinary horizontal knife, but a large horizontal knife, which was five feet long. Whether it was the length of the knife, the thickness and width of the knife, it was more than one size larger than the ordinary horizontal knife. The horizontal knife held by both hands was three times that of the ordinary horizontal knife, weighing nine pounds. Then such a heavy weapon was as easy as holding an ordinary horizontal knife in Whitebeard's hand.

At this time, he pointed at the battlefield with a huge horizontal knife and ordered the pirate leaders to distribute tasks. "Be sure to wipe out all the guards of the dock within half an hour. If anyone doesn't fight to the death, I will kill him with my own hands." He roared loudly and said to Li Chan: "Brother Li, you should guard between the castle and the dock. Anyone who escapes to the castle must stop them. In addition, if the guards of the castle city find out, or the patrol guards find the battle here, you will take your people to stop them."

Although the heavy rain was pouring, there were only a team of fifty guards at the dock, Whitebeard did not dare to be careless. He made preparations in advance. If he could not secretly kill the guards at the dock as soon as possible, then Li Guan would have to kill people on the road between the dock and the castle, and they would never let them escape back to the castle to report the news. If there were patrol guards to go to the dock, Li Guan would have to intercept them and kill them.

Li Chan led the army to the road leading to the castle, pointing in the middle, "It's here," he pointed his sword, "We are responsible for guarding here. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to interact with each other between the castle and the dock! If they want to pass through our position, then we will cut off his legs and chop off his dog's head!"

Zhang Chengzong held his copper mace and raised his strength into the air, stirring up a fog of rain and mist, and the other soldiers also expressed silent fighting spirit.

Two hundred people scattered and lie on both sides of the road. Li Yun leaned against the back of a huge rock. The rain was too heavy, and his vision could not see anything except the heavy rain. The sound of the roaring rain also swayed Li Yun's hearing. He could only imagine that Zhen Donghai and others were raiding the wharf, rushing bravely, and the red blood dripped. He smuggled into the rain, and finally became more and more faint, until he could no longer see a trace of blood.

"Two quarters of an hour at most!" Wang Chong also lay down beside Li Yan and shouted in his ear. Li Yan nodded in agreement. One thousand six hundred people in the East China Sea went to raid the pier guarded by fifty people. Although the guards on the pier were all in the two solid small fortresses, the heavy rain tonight perfectly concealed the footsteps and sounds and figures of the attackers. They could easily touch the bottom of the fortress, and the guards in the fortress would not notice it. Next, everything was simple. One thousand six hundred people to fifty? There would be no miracle!

Li Yan was not worried at all about the guard who solved the pier. What he was worried about now was the castle in the center of the island, which was two hundred steps high and three meter wide and two meter deep! According to Li Wei's return, the castle was not only strong, but also had an arrow tower every ten steps. The arrow tower was built on the wall, two meter high, and there was a heavy crossbow that needed four people to control. There were twenty arrow towers on the wall of the entire castle, which meant at least twenty heavy crossbows. In addition, Li Wei reported that the guards of the castle were all equipped with longbows and hard crossbows, and they all had armored iron helmets, which had amazing defenses and super attack power.

If it weren't for a heavy rainy night, Li Guan believed that as long as the guards approached the castle within a hundred steps, they would definitely be able to discover them immediately. Twenty arrow towers five feet above the ground would make it difficult for the attackers to make progress.

While thinking, suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached in the heavy rain mixed with large pieces of footsteps. Li Yan and Wang Chong drew out their long sword at the same time, but they saw that the pirates from Zhendonghai were coming. The white-bearded rushed to Li Yan, with a smile that could not be concealed on his face.

"The guards on the dock have all been solved. There are 67 Fengjia dogs in total, and no one is left, and they are all sent to hell. Brother Li, go and kill into the castle!"

"Kill into the castle!" Li Guan was also infected by the murderous intent of Whitebeard and shouted loudly. More than a thousand pirates kept coming from behind, and in the dark, it seemed like a mountain was moving.

Until this time, Zhen Donghai and Li Yan had not decided on the plan to attack the fortress. After realizing the strong defense of the fortress, several people had two plans. Red Beard proposed that the castle defense was too strong and it was too difficult to sneak into the castle. After solving the dock guards, they should surround the castle, and then deliberately create some momentum to lead the guards in the fort out of the fort and annihilate them outside the fort. Even if they cannot be completely wiped out, they can weaken the strength in the fort, and then attack strongly. The possibility of victory is very strong.

However, Li Guan did not agree with this idea. Although doing so would definitely be able to wipe out some of the guards at the beginning. However, in this way, the guards in the castle would no longer dare to fight, and would strengthen their determination to defend themselves.

It is better to sneak in quietly at the beginning. If you win, the entire castle can be successfully won. Although this is very difficult, with heavy rain, the possibility of success is not without.

"How confident is Ji Yu to open the castle gate?" asked the white beard.

If you want to enter the castle, you can only open the only castle gate, put down the suspension bridge, and twist the thousand-pound gate. This is the only way to enter the castle. Whitebeard has no way to deal with this iron shell. He placed all his hope on Li Guan, hoping that he could have a solution.

"How do you know if you don't try it? There are many capable people in my reconnaissance, so let them try it first. If it doesn't work, it's still time for us to implement the second plan. With a glaring, we can quickly resolve this battle."

Whitebeard pondered for a moment and finally agreed. He really didn't want to attack the fortress unless he had no choice. Twenty years ago, his father and uncle attacked the fortress for a day, and finally he was defeated and died here.

Li Guan waved to Li Wei, "It's time for you to show your skills. Didn't you say that the people in your reconnaissance are all talented people and have unique skills? Now I will give you a chance to win glory and take your people to fight the castle gate."

Li Wei smiled and showed her white teeth, "General, please wait for the good news here. My brothers in the reconnaissance capital will definitely live up to their mission!"

In the heavy rain, Li Guan waved to the surroundings repeatedly, which was a familiar set of gestures. This was the two subjects of battlefield communication and battlefield reconnaissance that Li Guan added to the Shamen Town Army to learn battlefield first aid knowledge at night. Battlefield communication includes tactical sign language, tactical flag language, lights, wolf smoke, beacon, drum horn orders, whistles and other communication methods on the battlefield. Among them are both common methods at this time, and some were obtained by Li Guan based on later technologies. For example, battlefield tactical sign language was obtained directly by Li Guan from later generations. The complete set of tactical sign language is standard and direct, and is more comprehensive and easy to use than some simple sign languages ​​at this time.

Battlefield reconnaissance includes observation, eavesdropping, spy, search, assassination, intercepting, capturing prisoners of war, spy reconnaissance, combat reconnaissance, drawing reconnaissance, investigation and inquiries, collecting documents and information, etc.

Basically every soldier has to learn three subjects, including battlefield first aid, battlefield communication and battlefield reconnaissance, and even three subjects, which have become one of the necessary conditions for soldiers to be promoted. Compared with ordinary soldiers, Li Wei's reconnaissance team has higher requirements for these three subjects. Their courses are also taught separately, which is an advanced version of the three subjects.

After a series of gestures, the scouts could understand the command accurately without any call.

On a rainy night, the castle on Cat Island is like a huge hideous monster entrenching on the island. The orange lights on the castle in the wind and rain are like the shiny eyes of the monster.

Li Wei led the scouts to the castle quickly and looked at the wide ditch, which emitted bright light on the rainy night, like a jade belt. Li Wei also cursed in his heart.

With a wave of his hand, ten scouts immediately came up with a modified version of Fu Yuanshi crossbow. This batch of crossbows is specially made by the Xinjun Workshop of Shamen Town for reconnaissance. It does not require both sides to control it. As long as there is a huge force, it can be opened separately. It is equipped with a fine iron crossbow arrow as thick as a thumb, and the range is still as high as 300 steps. Such crossbows are paired with iron crossbow arrows, and can immediately penetrate into the city wall with one arrow.

"Swish swish swish!" The crossbow machine rang, and ten iron crossbow arrows flew out with ten ropes at the tail. The crossbow nails were nailed into the opposite city wall, revealing only the rope at the tail end.

"Tighten!" Li Wei shouted loudly, and the ten strongmen crossbowmen threw down the crossbow and pulled the rope straight. Immediately, several other scouts stepped forward, took out ten iron piles as thick as guns, and drove them into the soil on the ground. The strongmen tied the ten straight ropes tightly to the iron piles.

"Go!" Li Wei was nervously paying attention to the city wall. Until now, no one has noticed them.

Immediately, two teams of scouts who had prepared were using hands and feet, grabbed the rope with both hands, hooked their feet on the rope, and hooked them upside down on the rope and climbed towards the opposite side of Haogou.

"Go!" Seeing that the first batch had arrived on the other side of Haogou, Li Wei was very excited and shouted again.
Chapter completed!
