Seeing that Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng were on track, Li Yuanqing no longer hesitated, waved his hands to the nearly 200 remaining soldiers around him, grabbed a black paint board, and jumped into the sea.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing had jumped into the sea, the soldiers around him also began to jump into the water, followed closely behind Li Yuanqing, and swam quickly towards the darkness south of the Yeye Island Pier.

In this era, and even in later generations, the biggest problem when fighting in the dark is that the command system is easily disconnected, and the general's orders cannot be conveyed to the grassroots soldiers in the first time, so that they cannot enforce the orders and prohibitions, and let the troops go.

Move towards one piece.

Under ordinary circumstances, Li Yuanqing has always adopted strict orders and rules.

During the training, the subordinates were asked to take the most basic unit of Jia as a unit, strictly abide by the orders, and follow the commander at all times, and the commander would always follow the commander-in-chief, who would then follow the commander-in-chief, and so on.

Then, with the help of various battle flags, torches, and fireworks signals, they maintained control over the entire army.

But at this time, after all, this is "entering the village sneakily and not shooting". Everything can only rely on advance planning and the tacit understanding of the soldiers.

Therefore, tonight, the personnel selected by Li Yuanqing are all the soldiers he is most familiar with, as well as Li Sansheng, who is the most savvy.

Some of these soldiers have been following Li Yuanqing for two or three years. They are almost inseparable. They are already very familiar with Li Yuanqing.

Even in the dark, even if Li Yuanqing had taken off his clothes, they could still easily identify the figure of the general they were most familiar with, and quickly gathered around him and followed him forward.

It will be June soon. Although it is already late at night and the water temperature is a bit cold at nine o'clock, Nanyang is close to the equator, so the water temperature at this point is just right, neither cold nor hot.

Li Yuanqing had not swam so happily for a long time. After a simple adaptation, he quickly found his rhythm.

The same was true for the soldiers around him, who were tightly surrounding him.

Because of the need to ensure the confidentiality of the matter, firearms must not be used. Tonight's battle will all be based on cold weapons. Li Yuanqing must also better grasp the time and accuracy of things to ensure that his son is safe.

We must use our physical strength, and at the same time, we must not leave any fish slipping through the net!

The wind was not strong today and the waves were gentle. It seemed that God was helping Li Yuanqing.

Except for the subtle sound of paddling in the water, no one spoke, and it was quite orderly.

Li Yuanqing also has some indescribable pride in his heart. These are his sons and sons, and this is his capital!

No matter what they do, as long as he gives an order, all the men will not hesitate!

After swimming for about half an hour, we were already less than a hundred meters away from the coast of Yeye Island. Li Yuanqing waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop temporarily and take a rest.

The men around him gathered around Li Yuanqing.

Many people think that the waves in the sea are big, but the waves on the beach are small.

In fact, this is a common sense mistake.

Due to the force of tides, the closer to the shoal on the beach, the more intense the waves are.

Even if there is no wind and the weather is gentle, in a place like this, there is no room for neglect.

A little further outside the shoal, it is very gentle. Although it still cannot escape the push of the waves, with the help of wooden boards, it is not too difficult for those who are skilled in water to stop and rest.

Li Yuanqing leaned on the wooden board, took a few breaths, and focused his gaze to the north.

Since the war was fought on two fronts, the Spanish ship that Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng faced was the highlight, and Li Yuanqing was also very concerned about it.

However, both Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng are experienced generals in hundreds of battles, and Li Yuanqing has absolute confidence in their abilities.

But because of the terrain, they couldn't rest near the big ship like Li Yuanqing could. They could only rest far away from the big ship in advance, and then swarmed up and killed him with one blow.

At this time, in the direction of the big ship in the north, even with the help of lights, the waves were undulating back and forth, making it ugly and light. Li Yuanqing could only judge the positions of Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng based on feeling and time.

After resting for about five or six minutes, the boys and men had recovered a bit and their breathing was no longer so intense. Li Yuanqing waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Soon, nearly two hundred soldiers surrounded Li Yuanqing and swam quickly towards the shore.

Coconut Leaf Island is not small, and it is difficult to see the head at a glance.

The landing site Li Yuanqing chose was a slightly protruding shoal, with a dense jungle behind it.

There is an old saying, ‘Don’t enter the forest where you can’t’.

Even in later generations, the jungle is not something that humans can easily conquer, let alone at this time.

Li Yuanqing could quickly judge that this jungle area should be an uninhabited area on the island.

In this way, Li Yuanqing was not afraid of being exposed when he landed on the beach. Soon, he was the first to arrive on the beach and called for the soldiers to come up.

Several bosses were busy counting the number of people in a low voice to see if anyone was left behind, while Li Yuanqing hid behind a rock and investigated the movements on the island.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's location was about two miles away from the pier. There were several watchtowers on the pier.

However, the terrain of Coconut Leaf Island is not high, so it is impossible to build a fort near the pier, which also saved Li Yuanqing a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, it will not be an easy task to seize a well-fortified fort with cold weapons.

There are continuous stretches of very tall coconut trees around, making it worthy of the name Coconut Leaf Island.

If it were left to future generations, this coconut grove would probably have tens of millions of economic benefits.

At this time, a soldier quickly came over and reported to Li Yuanqing: "General, there should be 191 men, and there are actually 191 men. No one is left behind."

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly.

These soldiers of his are almost equivalent to the special forces of later generations. They are all the best of the best. They are just swimming, so naturally they are nothing to worry about.

"Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng are about to take action. We don't have time to rest too much. Let's pack up our things and seize the dock immediately!"

"yes!"

The soldiers around him whispered in agreement and quickly began to pack their equipment.

Unable to use firearms, bows and arrows were also afraid of getting wet. The only long-range weapons that Li Yuanqing and his soldiers could use were small javelins that were one meter long and made of wooden strips.

As a powerful destructive weapon, the javelin has always been practiced on Changsheng Island.

Man Gui, in particular, likes this thing the most. It is simple and crude, but the effect is also very good, and it is very easy to climax.

For this raid, Li Yuanqing specially ordered his soldiers to make more than a thousand small javelins, two for each person, to meet unexpected needs at any time.

Soon, the boys had packed up their belongings. Li Yuanqing waved his hand and everyone quickly moved towards the dock.

At this time, although no one was wearing shoes, the beach felt good and it was easy for people to adapt.

Not long after, the group of people arrived near the pier.

There are four watchtowers on the pier, two on the north and two on the south, all of which are at the core with excellent locations.

Especially the two buildings in the south, their field of vision can directly cover the position of the Spanish fleet. If they are not removed, it will be difficult for Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng to take action.

At this time, on a watchtower about fifty steps away, a short and thin "Filipino servant" was holding a musket and dozing lazily.

Li Yuanqing winked at a tall soldier beside him and whispered: "Are you sure?"

The soldier chuckled and said, "General, don't worry. His humble position guarantees that he won't be able to utter a word."

Li Yuanqing nodded and looked at another soldier beside him. The soldier also smiled and said, "General, I have no problem either."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Okay, let's take action! Fight quickly!"

"yes!"

The two soldiers hurriedly moved forward.

After walking a dozen steps from here, the two exchanged glances, and almost at the same time, "whoosh", two small javelins shot out of the wind.

On two watchtowers about thirty or forty steps apart, two Filipino soldiers fell to the ground before they understood what was going on.

Li Yuanqing was overjoyed and said in a low voice: "Zhang Yang, you take ten people to destroy the two watchtowers on the opposite side. Jin~Hui~zi, you take twenty people and give me the house over there. Yang Lei, you

Take twenty people and clean the door over there for me."

Li Yuanqing issued seven or eight orders in succession and waved his hand, "Do it!"

After a moment, the team quickly separated and each rushed towards their intended target.

At this time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the moon above the head was also showing more. The moonlight was as soft as water, spreading evenly on the ground, casting a faint halo over the whole world.

But what even God didn't notice was that a bloody massacre was taking place on this beautiful island.

Li Yuanqing casually played with a simple javelin in his hand, quietly waiting for the response from all parties.

But he didn't wait long, as successful responses came from the north watchtower first, then from the house, doorway, wall, and warehouse.

Li Yuanqing smiled slightly and winked at a soldier beside him.

The soldier understood instantly and quickly climbed to the watchtower on the side and tied a white cloth strip to the lower end of the tower.

Soon, this wet strip of white cloth began to sway gently in the wind.

Seeing that the signal was ready, Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Let's go inside!"

For a moment, the soldiers gathered around Li Yuanqing and rushed towards the dock.

At this time, Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng, who had been waiting near the Spanish fleet for a long time, couldn't help but be overjoyed. They glanced at each other and said almost at the same time: "Do it!"

In an instant, the men here who had been waiting impatiently also quickly started to take action.

Although the Spaniards named their fleet the 'Invincible Fleet', facts have proven that this is nothing more than a joke.

They are full of Mediterranean style laziness and romance, coupled with the constant corruption and depravity of the nobles, it is destined that they can create an era, but they are by no means the strongest in the era!

Especially, they are facing a group of 'professional war players' like Li Yuanqing!

Soon, more than a hundred ghost-like figures on various Spanish warships had already climbed onto the deck along various ropes.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing did not stay here to watch Niu Gensheng and Li Sansheng capture the Spanish ship. Instead, he quickly came inside and approached the manor.

Things have reached this point. After pulling out the nails on the pier, the soldiers are approaching the fleet again. The entire Coconut Leaf Island is like a girl who has been stripped naked and is no longer on guard against Li Yuanqing!
