He hurriedly helped Chang Kun up and said, "Sir, don't wait any longer. I will send you away first."
Chang Kun pushed him away and snorted: "The enemy is at the door, how can I leave?"
"The sudden departure of the general will shake the morale of the army. Bring me my weapons."
"Even if I die, I will drag a bastard to my death first!"
The adjutant tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail.
Chang Kun refused to leave, and there was nothing he could do.
After getting weapons and armor for him, Chang Kun finished dressing and went to the house with his spear.
There were shouts of murder outside.
There are many pirates.
They got torches from nowhere and lit the area around the village, making it very bright under the red light.
The surrounding imperial guards were constantly fighting with the pirates who entered the village.
Pirates are no match for them.
They have more than a hundred Shenji battalion musketeers, and the pirates have artillery, bombarding villages along the coast.
The soldiers of the Yulin Army and the Shenji Battalion did not dare to gather together. If a cannonball came over, they would be killed in one fell swoop.
Behind the wall, the Royal Guards and the pirates started a street fight.
A life-and-death tug-of-war.
The guardsmen in the front row protected the musketeers behind, while the musketeers huddled behind and harvested heads.
The battlefield is too narrow, and the musketeers occasionally get a chance to shoot, but their power cannot be exerted.
The Royal Forest Army had no other option but to fight to the death.
The pirates' muskets had already occupied the high ground, harvesting the guardsmen who dared to show their faces.
Artillery continued to pound the wall.
The Imperial Guards hiding behind were often beaten into disgrace by the collapsed walls.
The sound of gunfire, cannon fire, and shouts of killing were intertwined.
The battlefield was noisy and chaotic.
Chang Kun came out and took a look. He wanted to kill the thief, but he couldn't find a place to do it.
There are people everywhere, and it's hard to tell the enemy from ourselves.
He shouted and rushed forward.
The adjutant hugged him from behind and said, "Sir, there are too many enemies coming. Please retreat with your brothers."
"If we continue to fight, we will inevitably be annihilated!"
When Chang Kun was not injured, he could easily break away from him.
The pain slowed his movements.
He was angry in his heart.
His eyes were red with hatred.
The Imperial Guard is synonymous with strength.
On the streets of Shangjing, they used their bodies to block the charge of the Yue cavalry. The soldiers were not afraid and fought bravely.
The killing was so intense that the sky was darkened and the earth was darkened, and the anger was so deep that my heart was filled with anger.
They are invincible warriors.
Warriors will grow old.
There will never be a time of defeat.
Warriors are sometimes knocked down.
There will be no time to lie down.
Chang Kun's thoughts were like this from beginning to end.
Until the emergence of muskets and artillery.
Times have changed.
The terms invincible have also changed. They are no longer warriors, they have become explosives and firearms.
The era of warriors seems to have come to an end.
Looking at the soldiers in the firelight, Chang Kun's heart was as sharp as a knife.
His imperial army was defeated steadily by the pirates.
"ah--!"
Chang Kun roared unwillingly.
With a plop.
After the adjutant let go of him, Chang Kun knelt on the ground.
Mudd!
He was full of unwillingness.
It is too painful and aggrieved to admit one's own incompetence.
He closed his eyes helplessly.
"roar--!"
A beast roar sounded in his ears, and Chang Kun suddenly became alert.
brave troops?
He looked left and right, but there was no sign of Pi Xiu.
He looked up at the sky again.
Hot air balloons are flying in the night, drifting towards the seaside.
Reinforcements are coming!
…………
Zhao Xiaole briefly handled the affairs of Hongzhou.
Wang Chong and Jin Yiwei were left to guard Hongzhou.
He led his troops to the East China Sea.
King Zhenbei went to the north, and the possibility of the Yue people uniting with him to go south was very low.
Qi Wensou even asserted that it was impossible for the Yue people to go south.
His reasoning is similar to that of Zhao Xiaole.
King Zhenbei went to the north with so many troops, and the first thing the Yue people had to do was to resettle them.
Resettlement is a big problem, and Vietnam will take time.
It is impossible for Zhao Xiaole to stay in Hongzhou and wait.
He wanted to quickly send troops to support Chang Kun.
Wang Zhi is a big problem.
Let him rob the east coast, and don't change the land reform in the north.
What makes pirates troublesome is their mobility. You can never guess where they will land and plunder.
In a previous life, some people chose to build the Great Wall to guard against the nomads moving from the north to the south.
The Great Wall is the ultimate expression of the imagination of the Chinese people.
The Great Wall can be built inland, but not on the coast. There are not many enemies at sea. They are the product of the changes of the times.
Pirates always look for weakly defended ports to land and plunder.
The only way to eradicate them is to build ships, find pirate base camps, and capture them en masse.
It is impossible for Zhao Xiaole to build a fleet in a short period of time.
The only thing he can do is to guard the coast and trap and kill pirates.
Once the fleet is built and the soldiers are well trained, it will be much easier to send out troops to suppress pirates.
Just as Chang Kun predicted.
Zhao Xiaole's reinforcements arrived early.
He was worried that his arrival would scare away the pirates.
Just let the army hide.
Wait for night to fall and lure pirates to attack the village.
The pirates fell into a trap.
Under the cover of artillery, they entered the village and started a street battle with the imperial guards.
Zhao Xiaole has been waiting for so long, just for an opportunity.
The pirates and the royal guards are fighting in full force.
Now he can go out and inflict heavy damage on the pirates without any problem.
After Zhao Xiaole's order was issued, Pixiu Camp took the lead in killing them.
The hot air balloon slowly rose into the sky and poured a mixture of liquor and bamboo juice over the pirates below.
After Yunnan fresh bamboo is cut down, its original flavor will be lost.
If it turns into juice.
The storage time will be longer.
Wang Wanwan and others came up with the idea of extracting bamboo juice.
Jars of bamboo sap fell, some hitting the beach and some hitting the pirates.
Some fell into the sea, and some smashed through the wooden boats on which the pirates were riding.
Some fell on the pirate's head, splitting his head open.
There are all kinds of clay pots dropped by hot air balloons.
The pirate below is in agony.
Some pirates were very unlucky. When the jar fell, he perfectly dodged it, but he still did not escape death.
The earthen pot fell next to him and he fell to the ground in shock.
He exclaimed that he was lucky.
The distance between the earthen pot and him is just a little bit.
Eighty percent of the time it was the Jade Emperor who protected him.
He didn't have time to think too much.
Just hear a bang.
He was frightened just now and dropped the torch on the ground, which ignited the strong wine.
When the jar broke, wine splashed all over him, his clothes were soaked, and his whole body was covered with wine.
He knew something was wrong.
The reality was worse than he thought.
The strong wine was quickly ignited, and the rising flames instantly swallowed the pirate, who became a man on fire.
He howled miserably while running wildly on the beach.
Unsatisfied with running around, he rolled on the beach again, igniting the spirits elsewhere.
Many other pirates suffered harm from him.
They all had some drink on them.
Inexplicably, a burst of flames suddenly burst out, setting their whole bodies on fire, and instantly there were many more burning people on the beach.
