Chapter five hundred and thirty eight: underground ambush
Facing the other party's expectant eyes, Xu Da refused without hesitation, "No, you organize the pirates' defense first. Are they just here to wait and see?"
"But……"
Gao Yin wanted to refute, but Xu Da interrupted him directly, "It's nothing. If they don't want to fight, then my soldiers don't mind killing them all first."
Gao Yin opened his mouth, but finally retreated under Xu Da's pressure.
Then the defense organization began to be implemented.
Gao Yin led the white-robed pirates to find pirate leaders one by one, and then assigned them tasks. Those who were unwilling to cooperate were directly killed by Gao Yin. After some small twists and turns, all the pirate groups embarked on the journey one after another.
own position.
When some pirates walked behind the wooden wall, the pirates who had plundered the camp rushed over again, shouting.
Their formation was very loose, with almost 1 meter between each person, and their equipment was of varying quality. Most of them only had an axe, and they were still wearing single clothes to keep out the cold.
"Bows and arrows..." In the Qinglang camp, an unknown pirate leader spoke up, and the pirate archers behind the wooden wall began to shoot in unison.
The stray arrows shot away, injuring some of the pirates who had little armor.
But more pirates still ran to the edge of the wooden wall, built ladders with each other, and jumped directly into Qinglang Village from a height of less than three meters.
The hand-to-hand combat started directly, and the pirates from both sides began to fight in close combat.
As the number of pirates coming in increased, the gates of Qinglang Village were also opened by pirates, causing more pirates to rush in.
The platform Xu Da was on was only thirty meters away from the gate. The pirates could easily see Xu Da surrounded by evil ghost warriors.
The platform is 8 meters high from the ground and is supported by four wooden pillars. There is a wooden ladder on only one side. As long as the pirates surround the bottom, Xu Da will probably not be able to escape.
But Xu Da still stood there calmly, watching the fierce fighting below. The evil ghost warriors beside him were not idle. From time to time, they took out their bows and arrows and shot downwards. Every arrow was almost in vain.
"Captain...we can't hold it anymore..."
Suddenly Gao Yin's shouting came from below, and then he climbed up on the wooden ladder in a panic.
As soon as he reached Xu Da's side, Xu Da suddenly grabbed his left hand forward, and a sharp arrow appeared in his palm, and the arrow was only less than two inches away from Gao Yin's head.
Gao Yin was immediately startled and patted his chest, "Captain, we can't hold it anymore. There are too many people on the other side. Please send someone to support us quickly..."
Xu Da looked toward the door. The pirates there were pouring in like a tide. If they were not stopped, the entire village would probably be destroyed.
The defecting pirates have been retreating steadily, and the casualties have increased in batches.
"Although the equipment of these bandits is not very good, they fight very fiercely and have good individual combat capabilities. What are their backgrounds?" Xu Da became curious about this group of pirates. Seeing their posture, they were obviously not direct descendants of the Pirate King.
troops, but looking at their combat effectiveness, they are clearly not new recruits.
Gao Yin took one look and immediately explained: "These are retired pirates. They live in the pirate king's stronghold. This time they were sent out by the pirate king Fengda.
Their fighting power is indeed strong, and there are many elite pirates among them. The pirates on our side are no match for them at all.
Captain, please send troops quickly, once these pirates are defeated, we will not be able to defeat them."
Xu Da smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will send troops right away, but the combat effectiveness of these pirates somewhat disappoints me."
"Look at the wooden door..."
Xu Da pointed at the pirates who were charging in, "The door is not big, and the number of pirates who can rush in is very limited. Even if some pirates climbed over the wooden wall, our local advantage was still very obvious. As a result, we were beaten back by the opponent.
…”
Xu Da shook his head, "It's not that they can't win, but I'm afraid they have no intention of fighting. Tell me, how can I make them full of courage to fight?"
Gao Yin pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Pirates are a group of people who are only interested in profit. It is better to tell them how much money they get for killing one person. This can increase their enthusiasm, but... they will only believe us if they see the money first."
"Money... I have plenty." Xu Da pointed to the ground with his right hand, and a wooden box appeared from the stream of light in the Tai Chi pattern.
The evil ghost warrior opened the wooden box, and a golden luster emitted from the inside.
From a distance, it looks like the luster of a golden dragon, but inside it is actually a gold coin from another world, but no one knows it.
"Go tell them that as long as you kill one person, you can get a golden dragon... Even if you kill a thousand people, I will give him a thousand golden dragons." Xu Da boasted.
"Yes, I'll go right away..." Gao Yin was obviously a little excited, and money was his favorite. He hurriedly ran down and began to direct his team to move forward.
At the same time, those pirates who heard about the bounty immediately became brave and attacked the pirate king ferociously.
For a time, the two sides were on par with each other.
Xu Da waited for a moment and felt that the time was ripe. The Pirate King's pirates had stopped charging. This was a good time to counterattack.
Xu Da put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and pointed at the center of his eyebrows, "Come out, my army, and cut them off at the waist."
In the middle of the densely packed Pirate King pirate team, the ground beneath their feet was suddenly lifted, revealing an underground tunnel, and the figure of the evil ghost warrior immediately appeared in front of the pirates.
Before they could react, sharp swords struck from bottom to top, and a large number of pirates were immediately pierced through their bodies.
There were only more than 800 evil ghost warriors who broke out from the underground, but they were divided into two teams, one team fought at the back and the other team fought at the front.
It directly tore the pirate team in half.
The evil ghost warriors fought even more frantically. They did not make any defenses, but directly attacked and then attacked again. This was a style of fighting in which you slashed me and I slashed you, causing the pirates to suffer heavy casualties as soon as they came into contact.
Especially the team led by Hayate. She lined up the ghost warriors in a row and allowed the pirates' weapons to fall on their armor and stomachs, causing weak damage. All they had to do was to raise their swords and attack them.
Forward thrust, pierce the opponent's body with a sword, pull it out and stab again.
Rows of pirates suddenly fell down in batches, as fast as wheat.
Shidun, who was responsible for the second half of the pirate team, basically led the shield soldiers and spearmen to fight steadily, motionless like an iron wall.
As a result, huge chaos arose in the entire pirate camp. The Pirate King pirates who invaded Qinglang Village were blocked at the front, and chaos appeared behind them, which quickly shook their morale.
Xu Da saw clearly from above that when the Evil Ghost Legion first appeared, they killed nearly a thousand pirates. After dividing them into two halves, the men led by Shi Dun didn't kill many, but Gale's killing was too ruthless.
