Soldiers are deceitful.
This statement may be biased, but it is true to a certain extent.
Zheng Chenggong chose to make a surprise attack from Houya because he was sure that this group of Japanese pirates who had just appeared were not familiar with the terrain of Jiushan Island.
In this way, they can take advantage of this to make a big fuss, and even seize control of Jiushan Island in one fell swoop.
Of course, a frontal attack must still be carried out.
Only in this way can these Japanese pirates not become suspicious.
Otherwise, even a fool would be able to detect something strange if the navy officers and soldiers suddenly ceased their activities.
"General, we are ready to attack at any time."
Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly after hearing the report and said harmoniously: "Then let's attack."
Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and the artillery on dozens of warships aimed at the fortress on the dock.
Along with the roar, the lead bullets whizzed towards the fortress, knocking up countless pieces of rubble.
Zheng Sanhu's mood did not fluctuate at all.
He has adapted to the offensive style of officers and soldiers.
It's nothing more than relying on cannons to create momentum, hoping to eat him up in one fell swoop.
This is so whimsical.
Regardless of the fact that the fortifications on Jiushan Island are very tight.
It is difficult to destroy by artillery fire alone.
Even if they did destroy most of the fortresses, it didn't mean that the officers and soldiers could land.
As long as they can't log in, no matter how lively it is, it's useless.
The initiative is in Zheng Sanhu's hands.
As long as Zheng Sanhu doesn't want to go to the sea, the imperial navy can only stare at the sea.
This feeling is really good.
"Since you want to play, I will play with you.
I don't believe you can go to the island with me guarding you."
"Faster, faster."
Fisherman Liu Haibo urged anxiously.
The officers and soldiers were rowing too slowly.
At this speed, they didn't know when they would reach the back cliff.
This is a surprise attack, and a surprise attack must be unexpected.
If the opponent knows that he 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 detection.
I really don't know if these officers and soldiers who usually look very powerful don't have enough to eat or what, Liu Haibo is anxious when he sees them.
"I said, guide, just lead the way.
This is the first time for brothers to row this kind of boat.
It's already good to be able to row like this."
A naval officer couldn't stand Liu Haibo's noise, so he spoke up.
Unexpectedly, Liu Haibo exploded when he heard this.
"Okay, that makes sense to you.
If your general hadn't begged me, how could I have agreed to lead the way for you?
Even if you look like this, you can hope to defeat the Japanese pirates on the island.
I won't lead you this way."
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Liu Haibo wanted to strike, frightening the officers and soldiers on the boat.
If they really lost this guide, they would not be able to get to Houya, and they might not even be able to find their way back.

"Calm down, my brother just said it casually."
But Liu Haibo said resolutely: "What's wrong with the officers and soldiers?
The officers and soldiers have to be reasonable.
Isn't this little old man still doing it for your own good?
It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin.
He doesn't know a good heart."
He scolded him harshly, and the officers and soldiers who had previously contradicted him were holding back their anger and were about to retort, but were firmly held down by their companions.
"You should calm down, calm down."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling man.
After the other party repeatedly apologized and showed weakness, Liu Haibo could no longer control his figure.
He cleared his throat and said, "If you let me lead the way, you have to listen to me."
"Everyone listens to you, and we all listen to you."
"Okay, give the boat to the old man and I'll rock it faster, be faster."
Liu Haibo ordered in a stern tone.
The officers and soldiers did not dare to contradict him, so they just shook the boat in a muffled voice.
In fact, it’s not their fault.
After all, they usually take Dafu Ship and Daguang Ship.
These large ships rely on wind power to propel their sails and do not require much manpower.
The boat is completely different.
The boat has no sail and can only be rowed by human power.
Liu Haibo is a fisherman and is naturally fast in rowing.
But these naval officers and soldiers are not very good at it.
As for why we took a small boat to go to Houya instead of a big boat, there are also considerations.
First of all, the big 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 in the back cliff is very shallow, and ordinary large ships are likely to run aground, and only small boats can pass.
"Push harder, faster, faster" But Liu Haibo enjoyed this pleasure very much and ordered over and over again.
Finally, after a lot of hard work, dozens of small boats arrived at Houya Water Cave.
There were twenty people on each boat, making a total of one thousand people.
It seems that this number is not too many, 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 dimmed instantly.
Navy officers and soldiers lit torches that had been prepared to light the way forward.
The water cave is not only dark but also very humid.
The navy officers and soldiers held their breath and concentrated for fear that something strange would suddenly appear.
Time seems to have frozen here.
If they hadn't been able to hear their own heartbeats, they would have been driven crazy.
Suddenly a naval officer screamed.
Everyone turned around 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 let out a sigh of relief.
The boat continues to go in.
The space above their heads became smaller and smaller, and finally the navy officers and soldiers could only hunched over and felt very uncomfortable.
"How long will it take to arrive?"
"What's the hurry?
I'm not with you, little old man."
Liu Haibo responded angrily.

Although he is a fisherman of this generation, he has only come to this water hole a handful of times.
He is now leading the fleet forward entirely based on his memories, and he feels a little unsure.
"Look, there is light ahead" I don't know who shouted first, and everyone's attention was attracted.
They turned to look, and sure enough, there was light ahead.
This light is not firelight but natural sunlight.
This proves that the secret passage to the island is right in front of you The navy officers and soldiers all looked happy, and some even shouted.
"Why are you so crazy?
Do you want to kill everyone?"
The newly arrived Japanese pirates may not have known about this secret passage, but if they were attracted by the shouts, the navy officers and soldiers would definitely die.
The naval officer then lowered his head with a guilty look on his face.
"Ahead is the secret passage leading to the island.
After a while, the little old man walks in front, and you follow behind.
Be tight when walking, and don't leave anyone behind."
In fact, there is no need for Liu Haibo to say this.
Because no one wants to stay in this dark, cramped ghost place for even a moment longer.
Liu Haibo's boat docked first.
Liu Haibo held up the torch and looked at it.
After confirming that it was correct, he jumped off the boat.
Although he was well prepared, he almost slipped when he stepped on the slippery rocks covered with moss
