When the Japanese pirates were afraid of anything, they heard a sound of horse hooves coming from afar and near.

From a distance, I saw two teams of Zhejiang troops riding mules and horses approaching quickly.

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

They were the closest to the place, so they came first.

Behind them was the evacuated Zhejiang Army team. They stopped not far away and were loading ammunition on the horse's back for the muskets and spare gun barrels. After the gunpowder was loaded, they would sweep again.

"Damn it!"

The Japanese pirates' expressions changed. Although there were few people coming from the Zhejiang Army, once they were entangled by these small groups of Zhejiang Army, they would inevitably affect their retreat plan. You must know that the Zhejiang Army's army will arrive soon.

"You can't be bound by the Zhejiang Army squad to retreat, otherwise you will definitely be surrounded by the Zhejiang Army!"

Xu Hai and others clearly realized this.

"You, you, you, you, you, you, you, stay behind the temple to block the pursuers, and the rest of them evacuate with us."

Without saying a word, Xu Hai reached out to circle a group of Japanese pirates and asked them to stay behind the palace to block the pursued Zhejiang Army squad.

"Ah?!Why are we?"

The Japanese pirates who were surrounded by Xu Hai suddenly fell from the sky. They couldn't help but sigh and protested.

"Why are you? No, please accept the order. This governor will not let you sacrifice in vain. Just block the Zhejiang Army for a quarter of an hour. After returning to the Tuolin nest, each person can receive 300 taels of silver and a level of additional position. This governor does what he said. If he breaks his promise, let the governor pierce the heart and die!"

Xu Hai glanced at them like a falcon, and said unquestionably, in order to boost their morale, he also vowed a reward with blood.

Xu Hai would never go back on his word. Of course, he also knew that there would not be many people who could return to his nest to receive rewards.

"The words of Leader Xu are ours. We will never go back on our word. Don't worry, please accept the order."

Chen Dong and Ma Ye also followed and repeated Xu Hai's blood oath to reward him.

The Japanese pirates in Xu Hai's circle included not only the Japanese pirates under Xu Hai's command, but also the Japanese pirates under Chen Dong and Ma Ye.

They are an alliance of Japanese pirates. Although they are vaguely led by Xu Hai, Xu Hai cannot directly command the Japanese pirates under Chen Dong and Ma Ye.

"Wow, three hundred taels, and I'm promoted to the top and returned to the Tuolin Nest. You are our little leaders."

The other Japanese pirates said half of emotion and half of sarcastic words.

"I envy us? Then change it with me."

"Chief, why not change to someone else, we are willing to abdicate and give way to the wise..."

The Japanese pirates in the circle said unwillingly that they were unwilling to accept the orders of the palace and wanted to struggle for a while.

They also knew in their hearts that they had almost no chance of survival when they left their home and faced with the Zhejiang army. Leaving their home is almost like waiting for death.

Although Xu Hai and the others promised a generous silver reward of 300 taels and could still be promoted to the next level, they had to be destined to receive the reward. If they didn’t have the life, no matter how much silver rewarded or how much rewarded they were, they would not be able to receive it.

So, they want to struggle.

Xu Hai walked over with a gloomy face. Without saying a word, he drew out the Japanese knife and killed the Japanese pirate who talked the most.

"Noisy! Our words are orders. Whoever is urging me? This is the end! Execute it!"

Xu Hai shook the Japanese sword, knocking away the blood on the sword, and then put the knife into the sheath, and said expressionlessly.

The Japanese pirates were silent.

The Japanese pirates in the circle dared not force them anymore, so they had to stay and cut off the rear. There was no way, and the situation was impossible. If they disobeyed, they would be killed on the spot, and there would be a glimmer of hope for blocking them.

One more point is one point, so I had to leave behind the rear.

Moreover, they looked at each other and were tacitly informed. They would not block it for a quarter of an hour. When Xu Hai and the others walked away, they would retreat so that they would not be foolishly scapegoats.

"Retreat!" Without waiting for anyone, Xu Hai looked at the Japanese pirates again, waved his hand and led the rest of the Japanese pirates to evacuate to the river bank.

Although their Japanese ships were burned, walking several miles along the river bank, there would be a bridge. They could cross the river south, head straight southeast, and return to the Tuolin nest by land.

Although it is not as fast and safe as the sea route, it is close to the land route. If you rush, you can reach the Tuolin Nest in one day.

Chen Dong was also supported by two Japanese pirates. Under the protection of a group of trusted Japanese pirates, he evacuated with Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates.

Before Xu Hai and the others could walk far, the two Zhejiang Army teams that were chasing from afar had already rushed to less than fifty meters.

The Japanese pirates behind the palace held up the Japanese sword and gritted their teeth to greet them.

The Zhejiang soldiers who rushed forward rode their horses and scattered into a long snake formation, strangled mules and horses, raised their muskets and aimed at the Japanese pirates who rushed forward and opened fire.

The soldiers of Zhejiang Army didn't train for a long time, and they couldn't maintain a very high hit rate while firing on the horse's back. They could only stop shooting so that they could maintain a certain hit rate.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of dense muskets sounded along with a burst of gunpowder.

The Japanese pirates rushing forward from the hall immediately screamed and fell down seven or eight people. This was because the Zhejiang soldiers were not hitting the mules on the back of mules and horses. If the Zhejiang soldiers stood flat under the horses, at such a close distance, the Japanese pirates would have at least twice as many people fell down after twenty muskets in this round.

"Baga, disperse, disperse, don't live targets, don't stand so densely!" The Japanese pirates commanded by the palace were a real Japanese. They suddenly thought of a solution to the countermeasures and commanded a group of Japanese pirates to disperse.

Sure enough, after the Japanese pirates dispersed, the two Zhejiang army teams changed their gun barrels and fired again, and only three Japanese pirates were shot over in one round of volleys.

"Yaxi, yaxi, that's it. Spread a little more, rush up, eat them, and then we're ready to retreat."

Seeing that the scattered tactics were effective, the real Japanese who was commanding the palace was immediately overjoyed. He reached out to command the Japanese pirates to disperse a little, led the way, rushed forward with the Japanese sword.

When a group of Japanese pirates from the palace heard that they could retreat after eating the Zhejiang army, they ignited hope of survival, and rushed forward with a scream.

"Retreat, retreat first, and join the brothers behind." The two Zhejiang Army squads have used all spare gun barrels. The muskets are equivalent to fire sticks. The two teams are commanded to retreat with each other.

Seeing two Zhejiang Army squads retreating, the Japanese pirates behind the palace were even more excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

The Zhejiang Army was scared away by us, hahaha, that's all.

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

"My lord said, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king first. Brothers, have you seen the Japanese pirate with half of his body and a stomachache behind him? That's the commander, gather fire to kill him."
