More than a hundred people were still digging the soil energetically, and many people carried wood. Under the command of Qin Huaidao, they began to drive piles and build the shed. Everything was in order.
"Boring! Boring! Boring!"
Suddenly, a burst of intensive gong sounds sounded, and the busy people seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. They stopped what they were doing one by one, turned their heads and looked towards the sea, with serious expressions on their faces.
Qin Huaidao had just arrived. He didn't know what was going on and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Someone rushed over and shouted loudly: "Everyone go back to the col and appease your families. Don't run around."
The busy people picked up tools and rushed towards the col, all with gloomy faces and silence.
Yuchi Baolin rushed to Qin Huaidao and said hurriedly: "The warning signal should be that the sentry noticed someone coming from the sea, maybe a pirate."
"Have pirates been here before?" Qin Huaidao asked in surprise.
"I have never been here before. I am very secluded here. The mountain col where I live is invisible from the sea. I only go out to take care of the salt fields every day when there is no one on the sea. I am afraid of being exposed, but I didn't expect to be exposed."
Qin Huaidao's expression changed. There was no reason for him to be so secretive, unless someone revealed the information, but now was not the time to dwell on this. He turned to look at the village guards: "Everyone is here, open the box, take out the repeating crossbow and prepare for battle.
Move quickly."
"Follow the order." Everyone in the village protection team hurriedly ran towards the col.
The repeating crossbow is a controlled weapon and cannot be exposed on the way here. We have already arrived at the destination and pirates are attacking again. There is no need to hide it anymore. Qin Huaidao looked at the other person and shouted: "Notify the transportation team to come quickly to join the battle."
"Follow the order." The other party clasped his fists and left in a hurry.
"Let's go and take a look." Qin Huaidao rushed forward with a cold face.
Yuchi Baolin quickly followed. The two quickly rushed to a commanding height and found countless ships on the sea. Qin Huaidao roughly counted as many as fifty ships. The distance was still quite far, so it was difficult to see clearly. From the size of the ships,
It was judged that each ship had at least forty or fifty people, which meant that the incoming enemy was between two thousand and three thousand.
"There are quite a lot of people, and this group of people came here strangely." Qin Huaidao said coldly.
"Whatever, just kill him. I'm panicking. I have a transport team of 200 people, plus 100 guards, a total of 300 people. They are all veterans who can fight. How many do you bring?" Yuchi Baolin said nonchalantly.
.
After the ambush by Lizhou bandits and government soldiers, Qin Huaidao reorganized the transportation team. Each transportation team had one hundred carts, one hundred drivers, and one hundred guards. One hundred were regulated by the imperial court.
He is a retired veteran with good fighting ability. Since then, the transportation team has 100 more people than before.
Qin Huaidao brought a transport team. Although there were only 100 guards, there were too many supplies. He mobilized 200 carts, which means 200 cart drivers, a total of 300 people, plus Captain Chi Baolin's 300 people, for a total of 6
One hundred people, plus fifty team members to protect the village, is not a small force.
"Shall I lead the charge first?" Yuchi Baolin suggested, his eyes full of murderous intent.
I was seriously injured last time, and I had been holding in my evil fire for too long, and I wished I could kill him.
"No, you can't be reckless." Qin Huaidao refused decisively and pointed forward and said: "The terrain platform ahead is unobstructed. The pirates must rush over after they reach the shore. It is about 500 feet wide. It will take some time to rush up. Archers
Seize the commanding heights on both sides and force them to rush in from the low-lying areas."
The surrounding terrain is slightly higher on both sides and lower in the middle. The weeds and trees in the low-lying areas have been cleared away and trenches are being dug. The view is wide. As long as they occupy the heights on both sides, pirates can only rush in from the low-lying areas.
Yuchi Baolin was rich in combat experience and knew everything about it. He suggested: "I will make arrangements. I can deploy a hundred archers at the same time."
"Don't panic, listen to me."
Yuchi Baolin shouted: "Don't attack first after the archers are deployed, unless the pirates also want to seize the commanding heights. I will take people to gather in low-lying areas, expose the position, attract all the pirates to come ashore and kill them. When the pirates get close, the archers will suddenly attack.
Kill them by surprise."
"Understood, I'll go make arrangements." Yuchi Baolin hurried away.
At this time, a large number of transport teams rushed over. Under Yuchi Baolin's order, the archers rushed to the commanding heights on both sides. Qin Huaidao led others straight to the construction site. The felled trees piled up and became the best bunker at this moment.
Qin Huaidao stood on a pile of trees, looking far into the distance, and saw a large number of sea ships approaching.
The sails were filled with wind, forming a powerful force to push the ship forward. Skulls were hung on the tall masts, and nondescript flags fluttered in the wind. The deck was filled with people, all of them shirtless, holding machetes, and expressions
Cold and fierce, the evil spirit is soaring to the sky.
Some people had white cloth ribbons tied around their heads, flying in the wind, and they were talking greedily to the people around them, causing countless people to scream.
Seeing this scene, Qin Huaidao was already sure that the people who came were Japanese pirates. As for whether they were pirates or regular soldiers, he would know if he went back to capture a few alive for interrogation. Yuchi Baolin also climbed up the pile of trees, stood side by side, looked ahead and said: "They look like pirates.
There must be two to three thousand people. This is unreasonable. Normally, pirates don’t have a group of several hundred people?”
"Kill them all in a while and you will know if you ask."
"It makes sense, how to fight?" Yuchi Baolin laughed and said, full of courage and not caring about the disparity in strength.
"There are not many pirate archers. It may be related to the habit of naval battles. They are not a big threat. They are attracted to fight head-on. None of them can run away. This group of people came here in a strange way. We must find out the whole story." Qin Huaidao said with murderous intent.
"That's easy, I lead a hundred people to rush up to attract their attention, and then draw them back. If the pirates can't see anyone, they will become suspicious. If they disperse and rush towards us, it will be detrimental to us." Yuchi Baolin suggested, and Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement.
, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "The escort will follow me."
One hundred people who were specifically responsible for the daily guarding of the mountain col rushed forward quickly, armed with shields and sabers. There were no archers, but they were all wearing infantry armor. He was the eldest son of Chi Gong, the majestic Duke of E Kingdom. It was not difficult to get some infantry armor quietly.
Qin Huaidao looked at the transportation teams that had been lined up behind him. They were all veterans who had experienced many battles. No one was panicked or nervous. Instead, his eyes were beating with strong fighting spirit and his morale was ready. He shouted: "The remaining archers disperse."
Go to the mountainside on both sides and find bushes to hide. When the enemy arrives, shoot freely. If the enemy is chasing you, retreat to the hillside while fighting. Kill the pursuers one by one while moving, and then fight back."
"Follow the order!" the remaining archers responded quickly, split into two, and spread out to both sides.
As a result, there were archers on both sides of the hillside, and also on the mountainside. The pirates had to pay the price if they wanted to go around from both sides. Qin Huaidao glanced at the remaining people. There were still about two hundred people, all holding shields and sabers, and they lined up neatly.
Serious and calm in mind.
"Take my weapon."
With a roar, fighting spirit surged to the sky.
Immediately, a team member guarding the village presented two maces. These were steel maces that Qin Huaidao had made with great difficulty. There was a knife hidden in the mace. The enemy was not a heavily armored soldier, and even the armor was useless, so it was inappropriate to use a mace. Qin Huaidao grabbed the two maces.
, press the mechanism and twist it, then pull out the knife inside.
The blade of the sword was snow-white, reflecting the sunlight, and a chill erupted.
At this moment, Qin Huaidao was like the god of war possessing him. He looked coldly at the pirates who were landing and Yuchi Baolin who was approaching them. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and remained motionless, waiting patiently.
No matter what the conspiracy is, just fight it out!
ahead.
Yuchi Baolin led the men to charge forward, not caring about stepping on the dirty salt fields. The evil fire in his heart became more and more intense. He stared at the charging pirates ahead and shouted: "They are just a bunch of bastards. Brothers, follow me and kill them -
—”
"kill--"
There were only a hundred people, but they shouted with the momentum of thousands.
The sword gleamed in the sun, cold and sharp.
The pirates were not to be outdone and rushed forward. Many of them were barefoot and even bare-chested, howling and shouting, ferocious and arrogant, like a group of demons emerging from hell, and their momentum was not weak at all.
"Boohoo!"
Some pirates started shooting arrows, and arrows whizzed in, tearing the void apart and scurrying like poisonous snakes.
Yuchi Baolin raised his shield to block an arrow and rushed forward without stopping.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
"kill--"
With a roar of rage, Yuchi Baolin slashed at him with his sword, as if he wanted to vent all the evil fire in his heart. The light of the sword suddenly appeared like streaks, and then an ugly head was chopped off, and blood spurted out.
"go away!"
Yuchi Baolin kicked the headless corpse away with one kick, swung his shield and hit one person's head hard, blowing him away. He slashed with the sword with his other hand and easily tore open one person's neck.
