Chapter 428
Attack from both sides
Eunuch Su never imagined that he would encounter pirates no matter how lost he was. In fact, it was not considered lost, it was just that he took the wrong road.
"Sir, there is a fishing village over there. Let's go and get away." The guard who followed Eunuch Su out of the capital had his right hand on his sword and his face was full of anxiety.
"No, we can't harm the people." Eunuch Su narrowed his eyes. In broad daylight, pirates dared to go ashore, which was really rampant. "Go that way." He pointed in the opposite direction to the fishing village.
Genzi glanced at the pirates running quickly this way, and his heart sank.
Too close, the pirates were too close, and the excited shouts could be heard clearly. No one had noticed them before, as if these pirates suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
If you run, you will definitely be caught up soon.
Eunuch Su was accompanied by about a dozen guards, but facing the huge number of pirates, he had no chance of winning.
No! Nothing can happen to the Imperial Envoy, absolutely nothing can happen.
Genzi stepped forward and said quickly: "Sir, let's go to the fishing village. In order to prevent pirates, the fishing village built a fort and defended it. It should be able to withstand it for a while. There is a group of officers and soldiers stationed nearby. Waiting for Mr. to be settled.
I'll go get reinforcements right away." Genzi still called him sir.
This garrison of officers and soldiers was just sent here. Last time when the county magistrate went on inspection, he stayed in a small fishing village and was attacked by pirates that night. After returning, the county magistrate allocated money to build forts for all the fishing villages near the sea, and the whole village was protected.
Surrounded inside.
They had weapons in their hands, but knives and swords were useless. They couldn't wait for the pirates to climb up and then kill them.
After a while, he shouted again: "Is the hot water ready? Hurry up, pour it down, and burn these turtles and bastards to death. Be careful not to burn yourself. Has the message been sent out? Smoke, smoke, what kind of fire are you burning?
?You won’t wet the firewood?”
Yes, the county magistrate has issued a new decree, and people are rewarded for killing pirates. A pirate head can be exchanged for five taels of silver. If the village is successfully defended, the village chief also has a share of the credit.
What Eunuch Su is more curious about is, "Didn't Wubao just be built? How on earth did you manage to stay calm and orderly?"
Forget it, let's withdraw, don't lose your life, it will be a big loss.
The guards climbed up the wall, but found that there was no use for them.
As soon as they fought with the pirates, they immediately gained the upper hand. In addition, everyone already knew that the imperial envoy was in the Wubao in the fishing village. They worked hard and tried not to let any pirates go, and maybe they could build another one.
Look, that would make them look embarrassed.
Genzi hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the little one is here too." He started running towards the location of the garrison.
There were pirates outside the wall, banging on the door. The situation was really urgent. The village chief couldn't care about anything and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Quick, quick, get on the wall. The two of you work together to guard it."
Stay in your respective positions and don’t let the pirates climb up. Yes, stab them hard with a pole and poke them in the eyes."
The other pirates couldn't help but be frightened. When did these weak fishermen become so powerful? And when was this fort built?
He would run here and there, but he was very busy.
When Eunuch Su and his party arrived, the gate of Wubao had already been closed. The village chief leaned on the wall and read their identity documents, and then he quickly opened the door and let the people in, but the pirates were already close in front of him.
Eunuch Su made a decisive decision, "Go and bring reinforcements now. The carriage has been abandoned. Old Ding, you ride into the city to ask for reinforcements."
The pirate was in dire straits. He couldn't open the door and couldn't climb up the wall. He finally climbed halfway while stepping on the person underneath, and a basin of scalding hot water was poured into the pocket above... The pirate screamed and fell down.
Rolling on the ground, "Water, water, give me cold water."
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, the common people kowtow to you." The village chief was frightened, and the villagers nearby looked at each other. This man with a pretty face is the Imperial Envoy? Do they also have to kowtow? But outside...
After cleaning the battlefield, the entire fishing village was as happy as the Chinese New Year and gathered in groups, counting how many rewards each could receive.
The reinforcements brought by the guard chief totaled a hundred people, and Wen Jiuxiao directly transferred an inspector. Shanyun County has three inspections, except Zhang Changsheng, the other two are Wen Jiuxiao's people, and most of the personnel under his command are from Beijing.
The combat effectiveness of the guards who came from outside was naturally much stronger than those recruited from the private sector.
The best thing to use in a village defense battle like this is arrows. They all know how to shoot arrows, but they have no arrows. They are not hunting in the mountains. Who would carry arrows when they go out?
How about they rush out and fight the pirates in close combat?
Just as he was hesitating, the village chief came running with bamboo poles in his arms, "Quick, take one each."
The village chief looked proud and said, "To tell you what, although this is the first time we have faced pirates for real, we practice in private every two days. Who stands in what position, who is responsible for what, and who will take over when someone is injured. It's all about
It has been assigned in advance. We all know what we are going to do now with our eyes closed."
The remaining guards escorted Eunuch Su towards the looming fishing village, "Sir, let's go quickly."
When they got it in their hands, they discovered that one end of the bamboo pole was sharply sharpened, and everyone was overjoyed.
When the pirates saw that they had changed direction, they screamed even louder. The leading ones even pulled out their swords and raised them high, looking menacing.
Pirates were also discovered in the fishing village. The village chief was beating the gong with a broken gong while shouting loudly: "Pirates are coming. Everyone, please watch your children carefully and men go up the wall."
Under attack from two sides, most of the pirates were killed or injured, and those who were still alive were all taken prisoner.
"This idea..." It didn't look like the village chief could come up with it. "Who came up with it?"
Unfortunately, the pirates didn't run very far before they were met by reinforcements who had moved in. The village chief let the firewood smoke to report the news, so the reinforcements came quickly.
There are officers and soldiers in front, and there is no way to retreat behind. The pirates are like rats in the bellows, suffering from both sides.
They also sent Guard Chief Chiang here to prevent pirates from coming ashore and harming the people.
Seeing this, Eunuch Su's guards quickly came out of the Wubao and charged in with their swords, not to be outdone.
Pirates are a group of ruthless gangsters who care most about their own safety. How can they have any sense of the overall situation and organizational discipline? They just know that the situation is not good, so just run away! No matter how much the little pirate leader scolds him,
Doesn't work.
"Yes, sir." The guard who was called Lao Ding immediately stepped forward to untie the horse and get on it. "Sir, I'm going down." He raised his whip and whipped the horse's butt hard, and the horse neighed like a string.
He rushed out like an arrow.
The guards were all selected from the Forbidden Army, and they were all highly skilled in martial arts. Once the bamboo poles were in their hands, they could use their fingers like arms. If they pricked their eyes, they would never prick their noses. It was like poking a candied haws, which was quite fun.
Eunuch Su noticed that all the young and strong men in the village were on the wall, but the elderly, children, and women were also not idle. Those who carried hot water, those who delivered bamboo poles, and those who delivered stones... were everywhere.
We are all human beings, each performing his or her duties in an orderly manner.
Eunuch Su held him in his arms and said, "No, business matters are important. First, fight off the pirates. Then you can do whatever you need to do. By the way, they can all help." Eunuch Su pointed at his guards.
"The county magistrate, our county magistrate sent people to the village to teach." The village chief straightened his back.
Eunuch Su...
The county magistrate is just the county magistrate. Why are you so loud?

Happy Goddess Day to everyone!
