Chapter 311 Reinforcements have arrived
"You... who are you?" Chen Yue muttered to himself, his voice full of shock and confusion.
"General Chen, reinforcements have arrived." Murong Ling'er ignored Chen Yue who was stunned, but looked calmly in the direction of Longmen City and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw on the vast sea, huge ships were like a group of steel monsters, breaking through the waves, with sails hoisted high and flags fluttering in the wind, with eye-catching court emblems embroidered on them.
Dozens of large ships that were originally parked not far away also started up and sailed quickly towards the army. For a moment, thousands of sails competed on the sea, and the momentum was magnificent.
"Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here!" The cheers of the officers and soldiers instantly resounded throughout the battlefield. The haze of despair was swept away, replaced by endless joy and hope.
"We are saved, we are saved! Kill! Kill all these pirates!" The soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they launched a more fierce attack on the pirates like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Murong Ling'er took action to kill the leader of the Black Dragon Gang. This scene was like a nightmare, which terrified the remaining pirates.
Among this group of pirates, the Black Dragon Gang is the strongest and can be regarded as their backbone.
Now, the leader of the Black Dragon Gang was killed so easily by Murong Ling'er, which filled the hearts of the pirates with fear. Their fighting spirit collapsed in an instant and they all began to think of retreating.
This change came too suddenly. The pirates on the island lost their backbone in an instant and became a mess like a group of headless flies.
The originally neat queue became scattered, morale plummeted, and their eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
The convicts who had been oppressed by pirates had the flames of revenge in their eyes. They rushed out shouting, holding simple but sharp weapons. The court officers and soldiers also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. The drums beat and the shouts of killing were so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.
The two sides attacked from the front and back, as brave and fearless as a tiger descending from the mountain, with flashes of swords and shadows of knives, blood splattered continuously, and dozens of pirates were killed in a row.
This bloody scene made the pirates, whose morale was already low, even more demoralized. Many of them even dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
At this time, on the turbulent sea, on several large ships, several pirate leaders were leading a group of their men, rushing towards the imperial reinforcements with great momentum.
They were fully convinced that the rear was as stable as a rock, and had no idea that the leader of the Black Dragon Gang who stayed behind to take charge of the rear had been killed, and that the more than a thousand pirates had been killed or captured one after another. The rear had been completely lost, and they were still dreaming of continuing to dominate the sea, but they didn't know that they were stepping into a death trap step by step.
As the distance gradually shortened, the pirates finally saw the lineup of the imperial reinforcements. Dozens of large ships came breaking through the waves like steel behemoths. Their hulls were sturdy and well-equipped, and were in no way inferior to the ships under their feet.
The face of the leader of the Shark Gang instantly turned extremely ugly. He spat fiercely and cursed viciously: "This damn He family, they promised me solemnly that they would not help each other, but they dared to stab me in the back! After this battle is over, I will definitely massacre the He family and let them know the consequences of offending me!" His eyes were bloodshot, like a mad beast.
On the other boat, Chen Yue, whose arm had just been bandaged, stood solemnly before Murong Ling'er. His eyes were filled with gratitude and determination. He clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "Miss Murong, if you hadn't rescued me again this time, I would have lost my life long ago. This life-saving grace is like a rebirth. I will never forget it. From now on, as long as you have any instructions, I will go through fire and water and never refuse!"
Chen Yue said it with absolute certainty. Before, he had been worried about the relationship between Murong Ling'er and the Chu family and didn't want to get too involved. But after experiencing these two life-and-death rescues, he completely let go of the grudge in his heart and already regarded himself as Murong Ling'er's subordinate.
Murong Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked Chen Yue up and down. She didn't expect him to make such a promise so straightforwardly, and he seemed to have the intention of following her.
This determination made Murong Ling'er approve of him a little more.
She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then asked, "General Chen, are you serious? Don't regret it later."
"Don't worry, Miss Murong. I, Chen, always keep my word and never lie." Chen Yue said as he knelt on one knee towards Murong Ling'er and bowed deeply with an extremely respectful attitude.
The superb martial arts that Murong Ling'er had displayed before made Chen Yue realize that her strength was unfathomable. The two life-saving graces, coupled with this unfathomable strength, and the Chu family's profound background, all these factors intertwined together were enough to make him make up his mind to follow her until death.
Murong Ling'er looked at Chen Yue who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse. In the future, I hope General Chen will help me a lot."
Hearing this, Chen Yue's stern face relaxed slightly, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
Just when Murong Linger unexpectedly recruited a great general, the situation of confrontation between the two armies on the vast sea became increasingly tense.
The pirates looked at the imperial reinforcements that were pouring in like a tide, and fear continued to spread in their hearts.
Meanwhile, the imperial court's morale was high. The commander stood at the bow, his gaze piercing as he shouted, "All troops, listen up! We must capture these pirates in one fell swoop. Don't let any of them go!"
With the order given, a thrilling naval battle is about to begin.
The sea breeze is fierce, the waves are roaring like thousands of troops, and the situation on the sea is tense.
The leader of the Shark Gang stood at the bow, radiating a ruthless aura. He kicked over the bucket beside him, sending water splattering everywhere, and roared angrily, "Damn it! This He family is simply going too far!"
The leader of the Shenlong Gang frowned and said worriedly, "Shark Gang Leader, don't be angry yet. Now is not the time to discuss this. Our support hasn't arrived yet. If we rashly start a war like this, it will be very disadvantageous to us."
The leader of the Shenlong Gang has always been meticulous. From the very beginning, he has been skeptical about confronting the imperial reinforcements head-on. His own numbers are already at a disadvantage, and now the He family has betrayed them. The situation is becoming more serious, and he is filled with anxiety.
"Hmph! Those guys from the Water Ghost Gang have been waiting since last night. Even if they have to crawl in the sea, they should have reached their destination by now!" Another pirate leader was extremely anxious. He kept stamping his feet, his face full of anxiety.
"Something's wrong. Could they have gotten some news and backed out at the last minute?" Someone made a guess. As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly changed.
The Shark Gang leader's eyes instantly widened like an angry lion, and he roared, "If they dare to go back on their word, I'll wipe out their entire clan! When this battle is over, I'll make them pay a heavy price!"
At this time, the imperial reinforcement fleet was coming in like a black steel wall, and the shadows of the warships looked particularly eerie in the sunlight.
The pirates looked at the imperial fleet getting closer and closer, and the fear in their hearts grew wildly like weeds.
They thought they had a thorough plan, with the Water Ghost Gang taking the lead in the charge and other gangs cooperating in the encirclement and suppression. But now the support from the Water Ghost Gang has fallen on deaf ears and has disappeared without a trace.
At the beginning, it was because of the Water Ghost Gang's solemn promise that they felt at ease letting the Black Dragon Gang stay on the Po Island of the East China Sea.
The Black Dragon Gang has the strongest combat effectiveness among these pirate gangs. With them guarding the East China Sea Island and using it as a solid stronghold, they can attack or defend at will without fear of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression.
But now, everything has gone off track.
