War is a treacherous way.

This statement may be biased, but to some extent it is indeed the case.

Zheng Chenggong chose to attack from Hou Cliff because he was sure that the Japanese pirates who had just appeared were not familiar with the terrain of Jiushan Island.

In this way, they can use this point to make a big fuss and even seize control of Jiushan Island in one fell swoop.

Of course, a frontal attack must be done. Only in this way can these Japanese pirates not be suspicious.

Otherwise, the navy officers and soldiers would suddenly stop, and even fools would notice something strange.

"General, you are ready to attack at any time."

Zheng Chenggong nodded softly when he heard the news and said in a harmonious voice: "Then attack."

With Zheng Chenggong's order, dozens of artillery on warships aimed at the fortress on the dock.

With the roar of sound, lead bullets roared towards the fortress, hitting countless pieces of stone.

Zheng Sanhu's emotions did not fluctuate at all.

He has adapted to the attack methods of officers and soldiers. He is nothing more than relying on cannons to create momentum and want to eat himself in one fell swoop.

This is so whimsical.

Regardless of the fortifications on Jiushan Island, the fortifications are very tight, and it is difficult to destroy with only cannon firing.

Even if they really destroy most of the fortresses, it doesn't mean that officers and soldiers can land.

As long as they can't log in, it's useless even if it's lively. The initiative is in the hands of Zheng Sanhu. As long as Zheng Sanhu doesn't want to go into the sea, the navy of the court can only stare at the sea.

This feeling is really cool.

"Since you want to play, let's have fun with you. We don't believe it. With me in charge, you can go to the island!"

...

...

"So faster, faster."

The fisherman Liu Haibo urged him anxiously.

The officers and soldiers rowed too slowly, and at this speed, they would not know when they would reach the back cliff.

This is a surprise attack, and the surprise attack must be unexpected. If the other party knows that it is prepared, the effect of the surprise attack will be greatly reduced.

Their speed is too slow. The slower the speed, the higher the risk of being discovered. I really don’t know if these officers and soldiers who seem extremely powerful on weekdays don’t have enough food or what. Liu Haibo is anxious when he sees it.

"I said to guide, just lead the way. It is the first time that brothers, I'll row such a small boat, and it's good to row like this."

A navy soldier couldn't stand the noise of Liu Haibo, so he said.

Unexpectedly, Liu Haibo was shocked when he heard this.

"Okay, you are right? If you hadn't been begging me, how could I agree to lead the way for you? Even if you look like this, you are expected to defeat the Japanese pirates on the island? Okay, I won't take this way!"

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Liu Haibo was about to strike, frightening the officers and soldiers on the boat.

If they really lose this guide, they can't go to Houzai, and they may not even be able to find the way back.

"Don't calm down, my brother just said casually."

Liu Haibo refused to give in and said: "What's wrong with the officers and soldiers? The officers and soldiers have to reason, right? Isn't it for your own good? It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the good people's hearts."

He scolded him badly, and the officers and soldiers who had previously confronted him were furious and were about to retort, and were pressed down by their companions.

"You always calm down and relieve your breath."

As the saying goes, you don’t hit people with a smile.

As the other party repeatedly apologized and showed weakness, Liu Haibo couldn't control his figure anymore.

He cleared his throat and said, "If you let me lead the way, you have to listen to me."

"Everyone listens to you, we all listen to you."

"Okay, I'll shake the boat quickly, hurry up!"

The tone above the peak of the bang Haibo commanded.

The officers and soldiers did not dare to confront each other, and only shook the ship in silence.

In fact, it’s not their fault. After all, they usually ride on the big blessing ship and the big Guang ship.

These large ships rely on the wind to drive the sails and do not require too much manpower.

But small boats are completely different. Small boats do not have sails and can only rely on manpower to row. Liu Haibo is naturally fast for fishermen to row. But these navy officers and soldiers are not very good at it.

As for why you take a small boat to the back cliff instead of the big boat, there are also considerations.

First of all, the ship is too big and the target is too obvious, making it difficult to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

Secondly, the water in the water cave on Houjiao is very shallow, and ordinary large ships are likely to be stranded, and only small boats can pass through.

"Try harder, faster, faster!"

Liu Haibo enjoyed this pleasure very much, and ordered it over and over again.

...

...

Finally, after a lot of hardships, dozens of small boats arrived at Houya Water Cave.

There are twenty people on each ship, a total of one thousand people.

It seems that the number of people is not too large, but it is enough to launch a surprise attack.

Under the command of Liu Haibo, the boats entered the water hole one by one.

The light suddenly dimmed.

The navy officers and soldiers lit the torches that had been prepared long ago to illuminate the way forward.

The water cave is not only very dark but also very wet.

The navy officers and soldiers held their breath and were afraid that something strange would suddenly appear.

Time seems to have frozen here.

If they hadn't heard their heartbeat, they would have been driven crazy.

Suddenly a navy soldier screamed.

Everyone turned their heads to see when they heard the sound, and saw a group of bats flying over the head of the officer and soldier.

It turned out to be a false alarm!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The boat continued to walk in.

The space above the head became smaller and smaller, and in the end the navy officers and soldiers could only hunch over, which was very uncomfortable.

"How long will it take to arrive?"

"What's the hurry? Isn't the old man with you?"

Liu Haibo responded angrily.

Although he is a fisherman of this generation, he has come to this water cave for only a few times.

He is now leading the fleet forward entirely with memories, and he is also a little confused.

"Look, there is light ahead!"

I don’t know who shouted first, and everyone’s attention was attracted.

They turned their heads and looked, and there was indeed a light ahead.

This light is not fire but natural sunlight. This proves that the secret passage leading to the island is right in front of you!

The navy officers and soldiers all showed joy on their faces, and some even called out.

"Shh! What a crazy thing. Do you want to kill everyone!"

The new Japanese pirates may not have known this secret passage, but if they were attracted by the shouts, the navy officers and soldiers would definitely not be able to escape and die.

The navy soldier then lowered his head, looking guilty.

"The secret passage leading to the island is ahead. After a while, the old man walked in front, and you followed behind. When walking, it was tighter, so no one would leave."

In fact, Liu Haibo doesn’t need to say this, because no one wants to stay in this dark and cramped ghost place for even a moment.

The boat where Liu Haibo was docked first.

Liu Haibo held up the torch and looked at it, then jumped off the boat after confirming it was correct.

Although he was prepared for it, he almost slipped when he stepped on the mossy and slippery stone.
