Chapter 327 Island
The sea is calm and the islands are looming in the distance.

Countless ships came all the way west, and they were divided into three near the east coast.

Part of it made landfall on the east coast below.

The other part continued westward, probably going to Jinlong Beach guarded by Xiao Zheng.

The third part is sailing to the island not far away.

Ren Ning took a closer look.

Countless large and small terraced fields have been opened up on the island, and countless Japanese pirates are busy on it.

Ren Ning suddenly reacted.

A few days ago, the Japanese pirates stopped their desperate attacks, probably because they focused on the offshore islands.

The island may not be big but surrounded by the sea, it can be said that it is safe and worry-free.

As long as it is occupied, the tribe can be placed on it to recuperate, and most importantly, it can also be opened up as a logistics base.

"Lei Er." Ren Ning shouted violently.

"To!"

"Immediately take someone to the post road and ask Wu Siyuan how many islands there are in the sea, which one is the largest, and whether there are Baekje defenders on it."

"Yes!" Lei Er immediately reacted, turned around and hurried down the mountain.

"Has the windmill communication on the East-West Line been repaired?" Ren Ning asked again.

A small soldier stood up next to him, "Go back to the general, it's not all right yet. But the battalion commander of the first battalion said that it will be completed within five days."

Ren Ning nodded.

The windmill communication point is only three wooden planks on the surface.But if repairing a site that is used for a long time, it will be much more troublesome.

If the site is located in a deep mountain and old forest where no one is haunted, it's okay to say, it can be left under the sun without any cover.

If there are enemies coming and going nearby from time to time, it is necessary to make good camouflage and build tunnels for the stationed soldiers to hide and rest. The amount of work is quite large.

Therefore, it is normal to not finish it for a while.

This time going east, Wei Junqian asked Ren Ning to bring 3000 people out.The soldiers of one battalion were spent at the windmill communication points along the way.

After the stations along the way were completely repaired and the legion sent specially formed communication soldiers to receive them, the troops from the first battalion would gather around him again.

"Five days, it's a long time." Ren Ning pondered, "Immediately send someone on horseback to send the news on the sea to the station that has been repaired, and then pass it to General Wei as soon as possible."

"Yes!" A soldier responded immediately, and hurried down the mountain to leave.

A guard next to him frowned, "General, send a message to the general... It seems that our army doesn't have any ships."

There is no way to take the Japanese pirates on the island without a boat.They can grow food on it with peace of mind.

After harvesting the grain, it was supplied to other Japanese pirates who landed on the peninsula to fight.

Repeatedly, endlessly.

No matter how small Baekje is, it is still a country.

The mountains are densely covered, and it is hard to guard against.

A large army of Japanese pirates may not be able to attack, but a single person or a small army can still haunt the mountains.

At that time, as long as they sneak into the grain-producing areas of Baekje and light a few fires or make trouble, it will be enough to cause headaches for Baekje people who are also short of food.

"If the news is passed on to the general, it is equivalent to passing on to the navy." Ren Ning continued to hold up the binoculars to look at the sea, "As for the warships, we also have them."

There are warships moored next to Beihai Customs.

He went up to check it out himself.

The hulls of those warships are very large, and they are not comparable to the ships of the Japanese pirates in front of them.

It's a pity that there are not many of them, and they need to be modified first.It is estimated that it will not come in handy for a while.

When Ren Ning returned to the camp in Dachun Valley, Lei Er happened to rush back from the post road.

"How?" Ren Ning asked.

"Wait." Lei Er hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of water before walking to the map.

Picking up the charcoal pencil, he measured it with his hand, and then drew three circles on the surface of the East China Sea.

"According to Wu Siyuan's military adviser, there are countless large and small islands and reefs in the waters around the Baekje Peninsula. But most of them cannot be lived or farmed on."

Tapping the circle I just drew, "The military adviser also said that these three big islands are the most likely to be used by Japanese pirates."

"The big island?"

"Yes!" Lei Er laughed dumbly, "General, the entire Baekje Peninsula is only a little bigger than our Canglan County."

"The big island they talk about can't be compared with Canglan Island. To us Yunchui people, these three islands are actually three small ones."

cough!
Ren Ning coughed and came to his senses.

Lei Er continued to introduce.

"The three big islands in the Baekje population are Dongjing Island in the east, Xilong Island in the west, and Namli Island in the south."

"It is said that watching the sunrise on Dongjing Island is the most unique. And Xilong Island is the island we saw from the mountain. Nanli Island is the farthest but also the largest. In the past, pirates often lived on it."

Ren Ning nodded, "There should be no Baekje people on these small islands. What does Wu Siyuan plan to do?"

"What can he do?" Lei Er sneered, "I don't think Wu Siyuan can protect himself, he can't do anything."

Ren Ning frowned, "What do you mean?"

"General, you don't know. When I rushed over, I saw Wu Siyuan was sweating profusely even though he was sitting at the back of the formation."

Gee!

Lei Er felt overwhelmed, "It's an attack of only 3000 people. It's hard to imagine that the general who led [-] troops would be so flustered."

If it was in the Starfall Legion, this kind of battle could be settled by pulling out a thousand leaders, without the need for the general to look at it at all.

"I now doubt that he was able to defend the Yuanning Mountains before, not because of his own ability, but because of the weather and the Japanese pirates did not attack again..."

Ren Ning silently looked at the map for a while.

He didn't know Wu Siyuan's ability to lead troops, but Xingluo's spies had brought back his defense map, which seemed to be remarkable.

Even on the post road, two small checkpoints were built one after the other, and a large amount of defensive materials were stored inside.

Therefore, unless Wu Siyuan escaped with his subordinates, it would not be easy for the Japanese pirates to cross this Yuanning Mountain.

at this time.

Report!
The messenger hurried in, "General, post road battle report."

As soon as he set up camp in Dachun Valley, Ren Ning asked someone to set up a windmill on the top of the mountain above Wu Siyuan's camp.

The distance between the two hills is just the distance. No matter what happens on the post road, the news can be received almost instantly.

Spreading out the paper and reading it, Ren Ning gasped.

Wu Siyuan's outpost has been breached!
Now the defenders of the outpost have retreated to the first pass.

"How is it possible?" Lei Er almost jumped up, "I was still there half an hour ago. Besides, the Japanese pirates don't have any heavy weapons, and the offensive is not fierce at all. How could the outpost be defeated?"

Ren Ning handed him the battle report.

After reading it, Lei Er said hesitantly: "Maybe Wu Siyuan is advancing by retreating, luring the enemy to go deep, gathering and annihilating them?"

Ren Ning glanced at him, "Think far ahead. When Baekje encountered Japanese pirates these years, it would be defeated at the touch of a touch and repeated defeats. Maybe the outposts can't beat them at all."

The two of them waited until night, and Lei Er couldn't help but send a message to ask about the situation.

The news came back quickly.

Sure enough, Wu Siyuan neither retreated to advance nor lured the enemy to go deep.

The general who was purely an outpost felt that he couldn't stand it when he saw the murderous enemies outside, so he took the initiative to lead his people to withdraw to the first pass.

"This, this, this..." Lei's second hand trembled a little.

If the general was in front of him, Lei Er would probably have killed him with a single blow.
