While Hu Ju and Xuan Zhen were looking at each other, Shi Tianni set a fire in the village.
Setting fire is also very particular. If you want the fire to break out quickly and fiercely, you must drop the torches from the center of the village one after another, so that the fire circle will continue to be entrained by the wind when it expands. Such as dry firewood, kerosene, grass, etc. to support combustion
There are various ways to place things according to the wind and terrain.
Shi Tianni's subordinate Feng Cun was an expert at setting fires. It only took about half a moment to set fire, and the whole village was covered with fire. The huge pillar of fire seemed to be alive. It spread its teeth and claws, rolled up thick smoke, and rose into the sky, as if half of the fire was burning.
The sky is on fire.
The prisoners who were driven outside the stockade could all see clearly. Everyone exclaimed, and some of them shouted angrily.
Those who uttered exclamations were either relatively peripheral personnel among the pirates, or crew members. The former generally did not have the qualifications to go out to sea to plunder, and were more like the evil slaves that the pirates used to drive when they transformed into rich gentry in their hometown.
, even if they were really dragged out to rob, it would mostly be Qiu Feng. The latter were probably just crew members.
The leaders are all dead. They have no desperate stance and are the quickest to surrender. They will not be angry because the stronghold is burned down. There are others who are angry.
Zheng Guang is one of them.
During the fight just now, a straight knife was passed across his face. The blade cut into the flesh from the left cheekbone down to the base of his right ear. Half of his face was torn open, and blood flowed profusely.
With such a heavy injury, he still resisted until his face was hit with the handle of the knife again, causing him to faint and fall to the ground.
He was somewhat popular in the pirates' stronghold, and he was obviously seriously injured and unconscious. There were still people who tried their best to protect him and led him among the prisoners.
At this time, he woke up leisurely and suddenly saw the village being set on fire. There were exclamations all around, and he couldn't help but roar furiously.
He felt that everything was lost.
An innocent and good citizen lost all his property and was forced to live in poverty. Not to mention his reputation, his wife and son could only become thieves, which was enough to bring shame to his ancestors. But Zheng Guang originally had a little hope, thinking that he might be able to
With his talents, he slowly exerts influence among the pirates, and then guides them to do less harmful things, and then looks for opportunities to respond to the imperial court's call for peace.
It was because of his promotion that Wang Ziqing took refuge in Shanghai.
But who knows why Wang Ziqing went crazy? Why would a small character like a shrimp want to offend a giant?
It's completely over now! The whole clan is about to die!
The flames grew bigger and bigger, and soon the village was burned to the ground. Zheng Guang was angry, sad, and desperate. He couldn't help but curse, but he didn't know who he was scolding.
The person responsible for guarding the prisoners is Shi Tianni's cousin, Shi Tianxiang, who is famous for his fierceness. Since Shi Tianni's father Shi Bingzhi established the Qingyue Army, Shi Tianxiang has been following the expeditions from east to west, often as a pioneer, and with the Jurchens,
Both the Khitans and the Mongols fought fierce battles.
After a fierce battle just now, Shi Tianxiang felt hot all over, so he took off his helmet, revealing his face covered with scars. Suddenly he heard someone yelling, and he turned around and saw Zheng Guang's ferocious face. He couldn't help but be surprised: "This guy is so injured."
You’re not gentle, your face is scarier than mine, and you actually have the spirit to provoke me!”
He raised his hand and pointed: "Here comes the one who is always swearing!"
Zheng Guang couldn't understand the Yandi accent, but he understood the meaning of this action. He snorted coldly and strode out of the crowd.
In the queue of prisoners, several people stretched out their hands to pull him. Even among the old and weak women and children sitting or lying aside, there was a sound of rustling. A woman cried loudly, but was muffled by others. Mouth.
Zheng Guang didn't care at all, gritted his teeth and stood in front of Shi Tianxiang.
"Since you are looking for death, I will count you as one." Shi Tianxiang said casually and kicked him into another group of people.
Turning his head, Shi Tianxiang swallowed the word "defense officer" and changed his words: "Commander, after excluding the old and weak of the four hundred prisoners, and then removing the useful crew members and watermen, there are only one hundred people left. One hundred people. Pick out forty more bosses or those who are alive and kicking, and they are all here!"
Shi Tianni looked at the forty people in front of him and waved his hand. A soldier held several short knives and daggers and threw them randomly in front of them.
"Here in Fuzhou, in addition to Wang Ziqing's group, there is another group of pirates who own the manor of Thursday and Saturday. Although Thursday and Saturday are not here, the leader who is responsible for staying behind will definitely send people to check out the fire in Guling when he sees it. .As soon as they come, I will go. I want twenty people to take us to the manor overnight; I also want these twenty people to falsely open the gate of the village in the name of asking for help and enter the village to fight!"
Shi Tianni spoke calmly, and next to him there was a merchant selected from the meat tickets, who spoke in a trembling voice with a local accent.
Zheng Guang sneered a few more times.
I heard Shi Tianni continue to say: "You forty people are all evil people, so half of them will die! I only need twenty people! If you kill others, you will be our own partner. If you do this, Done properly, not only will you receive a generous reward, I will protect your future as a glorious ancestor! If you die, I will also protect your family’s wealth for the rest of their lives! Let’s do it now!”
Zheng Guang continued to sneer.
There are forty people here, and only twenty are qualified to live and serve. This method of forcing the surrender of certificates of investment is too crude.
However, so what if it’s rough, what if it’s fine? Anyway, I don’t want to live anymore, why should I hand in a certificate of nomination? Just die, just die here, everyone will die, it’s over.
What, a future? What, honoring one’s ancestors? What, making one’s family rich and noble for the rest of their lives?
It's such a big tone, you think I'm a fool...but what if that's true?
What if?
I have to live!
All the chaotic thoughts suddenly disappeared, and Zheng Guang jumped up suddenly.
The pirate leader closest to Zheng Guang was flying towards the dagger. However, he never thought that Zheng Guang's target was not the dagger, but himself.
The pirate leader's fingers were about to touch the dagger, and Zheng Guang's hands had already grabbed his face. He suddenly turned his head to dodge, and five scratches were torn out on the left side of his face.
The next moment, he screamed pitifully, and his right eye was completely black. It was Zheng Guang's two index fingers of his left hand that all stabbed into his eye socket!
The pirate leader held the dagger and stabbed in front of him randomly.
Zheng Guang raised his right hand to meet him, and the sharp edge of the dagger easily penetrated the flesh of his palm, and then pried the bones of the palm of his hand. The whole right hand was bloody and bloody, and it hurt his heart and lungs. Zheng Guang screamed loudly, and the wound on his face was completely torn. Blood surged wildly.
But this does not affect Zheng Guang’s left hand!
He roared and screamed, and threw himself on the pirate leader. Two fingers of his left hand hung tightly on the opponent's eye socket, tearing it wildly! The pirate leader's eyeballs exploded, blood vessels were disconnected, and nerves were mixed into a ball.
, muscles and fat are involved with each other, bursting out from between the fingers!
Zheng Guang continued to tear! He pulled his opponent's eye sockets with his fingers and shook him back and forth and left and right as hard as he could!
The pirate leader suddenly screamed wildly, his hands and feet became stiff, and his whole body stopped moving.
Zheng Guang gasped crazily and slowly stood up with the dagger embedded in his metacarpal bone. He smiled at Shi Tianni. When he smiled, his upper and lower lips, which were divided into four pieces, twisted and pattered downwards.
Bleeding, described as being like an evil ghost.
He pulled out the dagger with his backhand and shouted: "I have already killed one! No matter where you come from, I am willing to serve you!"
"This guy is interesting." Shi Tianxiang chuckled.
The other thirty-eight people beside him were still fighting to the death. Under the firelight, the light of swords and blood appeared one after another, and screams and groans came one after another. Only this one ended the fastest and the most tragically. Shi Tian
Ni looked at Zheng Guang and nodded with satisfaction: "If this person can survive, he can be used!"
After Yin Shi, the sky began to get brighter.
In the west of Fuzhou City, to the north of the West Lake Watergate built by the King of Fujian, behind the Chenglan Pavilion, a rather impressive manor was brightly lit.
There is a makeshift checkpoint at the main entrance of the manor. In front of the checkpoint, Thursday and Saturday's right-hand man, the seventh in the clan, is wearing fur and holding a steel knife.
He had previously sent two groups of nearly a hundred men, fully armed, to inspect Guling, but so far there had been no reply. Even the gates of Fuzhou City were closed, and all the familiar soldiers in the city pretended to be deaf and mute.
Zhou Qi felt very strange and became increasingly vigilant. He mobilized all the strong men and women in the village to be on guard, while he personally waited at the door, looking at the firelight in the mountains in the distance while waiting for news.
Suddenly there was the roar of footsteps not far away. Thursday Qi looked ahead warily and shouted loudly: "Who is it!"
"Master Zhou Qi! It's me! It's me, Zheng Guang!"
There were many footsteps in the shadows of the night, and someone responded sternly: "Master Qi! I have something important to report!"
Who is Zheng Guang?
Zhou Qi thought about it for a while, but had no impression. It wasn't until a man ran into the light of the fire that he squinted for a while and was suddenly surprised: "You are Master Zheng from Guling Village? How did you become like this? Your village
Were you raped by a robber?"
When these words came out, Zhou Qi thought it was a bit ridiculous. The pirates themselves were the most fierce thieves in the military states along the coast. Where could there be stronger thieves? How could anyone make trouble on Tai Sui's head?
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi walked a few steps forward. Then he spotted more figures in the night.
It was a tall figure wearing thick black armor, looking like a beast.
A chaos caused by the great pirate Alibaba and his forty thieves soon spread to the surrounding areas.
Lanshan Island, in the security courtyard, Zhang Liangpeng threw down a book: "This is a newspaper from Quanzhou, saying that there is a big pirate Alibaba, Luliang, Tong'an, Huizhou, sailing soldiers and rhinoceros, Yun
When all of them are on the run, one is worth a hundred, and the brave men of his subordinates are called the Forty Thieves, who cannot be restrained by the officers and soldiers."
Zhang Liangpeng threw out another book: "This is a newspaper from Zhangzhou. It says that outside the Jiaoguan Pass, the big pirates are raging, looting in the daytime, and running rampant. The passenger boats do not dare to go out of the river unless the thirty or fifty ships have the combined momentum." Into the sea.”
Zhang Liangpeng threw the third book in front of Zhou Keshan: "This is a newspaper from Chaozhou on Guangnan Road. It says that there is a pirate named Ali Baba who has dozens of bandits and plunders wherever he goes. They caused harm to civilians traveling by boat, and set fire to and killed people in the Chao and Lianhai areas."
Zhang Liangpeng threw out the fourth book: "This is a report from the Xinghua Army. It is said that the pirate Alibaba has recently gathered his boat divisions in Haitan Mountain, Meihua'ao and other places, and crossed the sea dragon with the pirates on the same road, rolling the sea dragon fire." And, it affected local areas, burning and plundering forts, harbors, villages, and more than ten forts, causing the people to suffer."
"And these! All of them!" Zhang Liangpeng turned around and picked up a thick stack of books and slammed them on the table. With a loud bang, a plate of buttered abalone was knocked to the ground, and two rhinoceros horn cups rolled around.
"The response strategy we agreed on before is not like this!" The coastal defense commander of the Song Dynasty was furious.
