Chapter 231 Three Arrows Repel the Sea Bandits
"Hahaha, hahaha, just these hundreds of people want to counterattack this county? Are they crazy?"
"What a joke, boys, rush out and kill them all!"
"I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people. Do they really think that more than a hundred people can pose much of a threat to us?"
When the pirates on the city tower saw more than a hundred officers and soldiers appearing outside the city gate, they all raised their heads and laughed.
In their opinion, the army that appeared now was nothing more than a rabble.
They are no match for them at all.
However, Huang Tinghui didn't have the slightest fear at this time. He looked at Zhang Cheng and the others, "Brother Zhang, the distance is right now!"
"Can you shoot this arrow up to that tower?"
Hearing Huang Tinghui's question, Zhang Cheng looked towards the Ruian County Gate Tower with a solemn expression.
After a while, Zhang Cheng said to Huang Tinghui, "This distance is no problem at all!!"
"That's good!" Huang Tinghui nodded, and then said to Zhang Cheng, "Brother Zhang, please, and everyone else, shoot these arrows at the Ruian County Gate Tower!"
"If the pirates see the content on this arrow, they will retreat in fear!"
Huang Tinghui's tone was unusually calm, and he was very confident in his plan.
Zhang Cheng had always trusted Huang Tinghui unconditionally, and I saw him placing arrows on his strong bow.
Pulling out the strong bow, arrows shot towards the rooftops of Ruian County like meteors.
Like Zhang Cheng, several other soldiers with strong strength and superb archery skills also raised their bows and nocked arrows, and threw sharp arrows towards the tower in the distance.
It must be said that these border soldiers who survived the life-and-death struggle were all extremely powerful masters.
The arrow hit the wooden stake on the tower with great accuracy, and the sharp arrow tip penetrated into the beam on the tower.
The feather tail of the arrow also made a trembling sound.
Such a perverted archery technique really frightened the pirates.
Compared with Huang Tinghui's archery skills, the archery skills of Zhang Cheng and others are amazing.
"These people look extraordinary. They should be the best among the best."
"With such archery skills, even among our brothers, we can't find many of them."
"Could this group of people be extraordinary in strength?"
The faces of several pirates instantly became serious.
At this time, a pirate suddenly noticed something strange on the arrow.
"Leader, there's something on the arrow!"
Upon hearing this, several pirates immediately surrounded him.
One of the leaders of the Japanese slaves looked at the thing tied to the arrow, and he said with some doubts, "Could it be a letter to persuade you to surrender?"
"We have so many areas across the sea, which poses a considerable threat to Dasheng Kingdom. Since they can't do anything to us, there is a possibility of persuading them to surrender!"
"Kameda-kun, open it and take a look and you will know!" Another pirate suggested.
Slowly opening the note tied to the arrow, the handwriting on the letter shocked everyone.
Their expressions became more solemn.
"Chong'en Temple, how do they know?" one of the pirates said.
"Maybe the officers and soldiers have found out our base. If our retreat is cut off by the officers and soldiers of Dasheng Kingdom, we may not be able to retreat calmly!"
"This matter must be reported to the big boss as soon as possible."
What Huang Tinghui said in the letter was very simple. He told the pirates that he knew their lair was at Chong'en Temple.
If the pirates do not withdraw from Ruian County now, their merchant ships will be completely destroyed by the officers and soldiers of the Dasheng Kingdom.
And if they didn't keep the plundered women and children, Huang Tinghui and the others would fight to the death to trap the pirates here.
Until the officers and soldiers arrived and strangled them all.
The reason why the pirates dared to raid Ruian County was because they thought that after plundering Ruian County, they could pass the dock near Chongen Temple and use the merchant ships purchased in the name of Chongen Temple to rush out of the estuary in a big way.
Once they leave the land, the sky is high and the sea is wide for birds to fly.
Even if the officers and soldiers organized a large number of troops, there was nothing they could do against them in the vast sea.
The reason why pirates are so rampant is because they have seen through the corruption within the Dasheng Kingdom and the cumbersome procedures for mobilizing troops and horses.
As for Dasheng Kingdom's naval power, it was even more vulnerable. By the time the imperial soldiers and horses reacted, they had already disappeared without a trace, carrying the plundered wealth and women.
But at the same time, this is also the biggest destiny of these pirates.
Once the merchant ships they settled at the dock were destroyed by Dasheng Kingdom's troops one step ahead.
Then they may really become turtles in the urn.
Ruian County is not Linhai County. Once the Dasheng Dynasty troops on land gather around it.
I'm afraid these pirates will be unable to fly.
It is precisely because of this fear that the pirates almost immediately handed these three letters into the hands of the scarred pirate leader after obtaining them.
"Leader, this is the letter carried on the arrow shot by the Han."
"We're afraid there's some deception. Can you tell me, leader?"
A pirate looked at the Scar pirate and asked cautiously.
The Scar pirate looked at the words on the letter and seemed to have no mood swings at all.
But anyone who understands the character of the Scar Pirate knows that this is the precursor to the Scar Pirate's outbreak.
"Send the order and ask the men to bring me all the looted wealth and leave all the looted women behind!"
"We retreat immediately!"
After hearing what the Scar pirate said, the other pirate leaders immediately replied, "Chief, are these people trying to scare us back?"
"This is a conspiracy, regardless of whether they are cheating or not!"
"These people know that our lair is in Chong'en Temple, and they also know that the merchant ships in Chong'en Temple are our means of escape."
"If they really destroy the merchant ship, is it possible that we will fight to the beach?"
"If we really do this, how many of our sons will survive!!"
Although the force of this pirate bandit is not small, it is definitely no match for a large number of officers and soldiers.
Even if they fight out alive, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced.
The sea is a world of jungle. If there are no ships or people, wouldn't their territory be usurped by others?
The Scar Pirate has managed to grow up to this day, so naturally he doesn't want to go back to where he started.
"Leader, we don't have to listen to what those people say. If we let those women go, the sons and daughters won't agree!"
The Japanese slave pirate said with great reluctance.
"How strong are those soldiers?" Scar pirate leader asked.
"First-rate archery!"
"Our son-in-law can't find many of them. It can be seen that he is quite powerful. He may be a master who has experienced hundreds of battles!"
Another pirate leader who had always been silent said.
"There are only more than a hundred of them, maybe there are only a few masters!"
The other pirate leader was still extremely unwilling.
Just after the pirate leader finished speaking, another pirate ran in.
"Leader, it's not good!"
"Han soldiers appeared outside again, and they seem to be quite well-equipped."
