Chapter 1869 You stay as the queen


Chapter 1869 You stay behind the palace

Whatever comes, the Japanese pirates were about to retreat when they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from a distance.

From a distance, two groups of Zhejiang troops riding mules and horses were seen approaching quickly.

These two Zhejiang Army teams were the Zhejiang Army teams cruising not far away. After seeing the fireworks signal, they quickly came to support.

The ones who are closest are the first to come.

Behind them was the Zhejiang Army team that had originally evacuated. They reined in their horses and stopped not far away, loading ammunition for firecrackers and spare gun tubes on horseback. After reloading the gunpowder, they would sweep in again.

"Damn it!"

The Japanese pirates' expressions couldn't help but change. Although the Zhejiang army came with few people, once they were entangled by these small groups of Zhejiang troops, it would definitely affect their retreat plan. You know, The Zhejiang army is coming soon.

“You cannot let the Zhejiang Army’s squad fetter your retreat, otherwise you will be surrounded by the Zhejiang Army’s army!”

Xu Hai and others clearly understood this.

"You, you, you, 伱, you guys stay in the rear and block the pursuers. The rest will evacuate with us."

Xu Hai without saying a word, stretched out his hand to circle a group of Japanese pirates and asked them to stay. Behind the palace, block the pursuing Zhejiang Army squad.

"Ah?! Why us?"

The Japanese pirates who were targeted by Xu Hai suddenly suffered disaster from the sky, and couldn't help but sigh and protest out of misfortune.

"Why you? There is no reason, just take the order. The governor will not let you sacrifice in vain. You only need to stop the Zhejiang Army for a quarter of an hour. After returning to Tuolin's lair, each of you can receive three hundred silver. Two, add one level. I will keep my word. If I break my promise at all, I will be shot through the heart with thousands of arrows and die!"

Xu Hai glanced at them like a hawk and said without a doubt that in order to boost their morale, he also swore a blood oath to reward them.

Xu Hai will never break his promise. Of course, he also knows that not many of the Japanese pirates in the rear can return to their hometown to receive the reward.

"Chief Xu's word is our word. We will reward you with three hundred taels of silver and be promoted to the first level. We will never break our promise. You can accept your order with confidence."

Chen Dong and Ma Ye Ye all followed suit and repeated Xu Hai's blood oath of reward.

The Japanese pirates in Xu Hai's circle include not only the Japanese pirates under Xu Hai, but also the Japanese pirates under Chen Dong and Maye.

They are a Japanese pirate alliance. Although Xu Hai is vaguely headed, Xu Hai cannot directly command the Japanese pirates under Chen Dong and Maye.

"Wow, three hundred taels, and you have been promoted to the first level. When you return to Tuolin's lair, you will be our little leaders."

The other Japanese pirates were half sighing and half making sarcastic remarks. said.

"Envy us? Then change with me."

"Leader, why not change to someone else? We, we are willing to abdicate in favor of others."

The trapped Japanese pirates said reluctantly that they were not willing to take the lead and wanted to struggle again.

They all knew in their hearts that if they stayed behind, they would have almost no chance of surviving in the face of the Zhejiang army. Staying behind would be almost equal to waiting for death.

Although Xu Hai and the others promised a generous reward of three hundred taels of silver, and they could be promoted to the first level, they still had to be ordered to receive the reward. If you don't even have your life, you won't be able to get it no matter how much silver or generous rewards you get.

So, they want to struggle.

Xu Hai came over with a sullen face, and without saying a word, he drew out a Japanese sword and hacked to death the Japanese pirate who talked the most nonsense.

"Noisy! Our words are orders. Whoever presses again will suffer the consequences! Execute it!"

Xu Hai shook the Japanese sword, knocking away the blood on the sword, and put the sword back into its sheath, his face expressionless. Said with an expression.

The Japanese pirates were as silent as cicadas.

The Japanese pirates in the trap did not dare to push them anymore, so they had no choice but to stay behind. They had no choice but to control the situation. If they disobey, they will be hacked to death on the spot. Those who stay obediently to stop them will still have a chance to survive.

An extra point of life is worth a point, so I have no choice but to stay behind.

Moreover, they looked at each other and tacitly understood that they would not foolishly block the situation for a quarter of an hour. When Xu Hai and the others were farther away, they would withdraw, so they would not foolishly act as scapegoats.

"Evacuate!" Time waits for no one. Xu Hai once again visually inspected the Japanese pirates, waved his hand, and took the lead in leading the remaining Japanese pirates to evacuate to the river bank.

Although their Japanese boats were burned down, walking a few miles along the river bank, there will be a bridge. They can cross the river south through the bridge, go straight southeast, and return to Tuolin's old nest by land.

Although it is not as fast and safe as the sea route, the land route is closer. If you rush, you can reach Tuolin's lair in one day.

Chen Dong was also held by two Japanese pirates. Under the protection of a group of trusted Japanese pirates, he followed Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates to evacuate.

Before Xu Hai and the others had gone far, the two Zhejiang Army squads chasing them from a distance had already rushed less than fifty meters away.

The Japanese pirates at the rear held up Japanese swords and bravely stepped forward to meet them.

The Zhejiang soldiers who rushed forward dispersed on horseback into a long snake formation, reined in their mules and horses, raised their muskets and aimed at the Japanese pirates who rushed forward and opened fire.

The soldiers of Zhejiang Province have not been trained on horseback for a long time. They are not yet able to fire on horseback while maintaining a high hit rate. They can only stop shooting so as to maintain a certain hit rate.

“Bang bang bang”

A series of dense firecrackers sounded along with a burst of gunpowder smoke.

The Japanese pirates who rushed forward from behind screamed and fell down. Seven or eight of them fell down. This was because the Zhejiang soldiers had a low hit rate with fire cannons on the backs of mules and horses. If the Zhejiang soldiers were on horseback, Standing on the ground, at such a close distance, the Japanese pirates would kill at least twice as many people with this round of twenty fire cannons.

"Baga, spread out, spread out, don't be a living target, don't stand so densely!" The Japanese pirate commanded by the rear of the palace was a real Japanese, and he suddenly thought of a countermeasure, and ordered the Japanese pirates to disperse Come on.

Sure enough, after the Japanese pirates dispersed, the two Zhejiang army teams changed their musket barrels and opened fire again. A single salvo shot only knocked down three Japanese pirates.

"円西, 円西, that's it, spread out a little more, rush up, eat them, and then we are also preparing to retreat."

Seeing that the dispersion tactic worked, the real Japanese who commanded the rear were immediately overjoyed. He stretched out his hands to direct the Japanese to disperse further, took the lead, and charged forward with a Japanese sword.

When the Japanese pirates heard that they could retreat after eating this Zhejiang army, they ignited the hope of survival and rushed forward with howls.

"Withdraw, withdraw first, and join the brothers behind." The two Zhejiang army teams have used all the spare blunderbuss tubes. The fire blunderbuss is equivalent to burning fire sticks. The two commanders invariably commanded the rear of their respective teams. withdraw.

Seeing the two Zhejiang army teams retreating, the Japanese pirates at the rear became even more excited as if they had been given blood.

The Zhejiang army was scared away by us, hahaha, that’s all.

The Japanese pirates behind the palace became more and more brave.

"My lord has said that to shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. Brothers, have you seen the Japanese pirate with half armor behind him? That one is the commander, focus the fire and kill him."< br>
The two Zhejiang Army squads retreated to the originally evacuated Zhejiang Army squad, pointed at the real Japanese not far away, and reminded them who had already loaded the gunpowder. (End of this chapter)
