In this ambush battle, Okura Castle achieved a complete victory.
As soon as Hu Liuyang died, the two demons of the Qian family were determined to fight again, so they turned around and ran away. Although they escaped from the gap in the city wall with their skill, they were shot several times by muskets and suffered serious injuries. The hundreds of pirates who were approaching the tunnel also retreated one after another.
The defenders of the city were greatly motivated, firing bows, arrows and muskets, killing more than a hundred pirates.
An hour later, Chai Lin, Yao Yuanxiao and Zhu Hong all returned to the city lord's palace from the east city wall.
When they entered the meeting hall, the three of them were all in high spirits, especially Yao Yuanxiao, who was almost smiling from ear to ear.[
In front of the round table in the middle of the meeting hall, Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan were sitting. When they saw Chai Lin and others walking in, they all stood up to greet them.
Sima Rulan said: "Thank you for your hard work, did this ambush go well?"
Yao Yuanxiao laughed and said: "It went so well! Not only did we kill the 'Troll King' Hu Liuyang, but we also killed more than 500 pirates. It's a pity that the two demons of the Qian family escaped! For more than a month, we in Okura City have been It’s so frustrating to be beaten all the time, and it’s so satisfying to finally let those pirates know how powerful they are!”
Sima Rulan looked happy and said: "To be able to kill one of the 'Nine Dragon Sons' and eliminate five hundred pirates is really a great victory! You guys really contributed a lot, Lan'er thanked you first!"
As she said this, she was about to salute, but Chai Lin quickly stretched out his hand to support her and said, "Miss, you must be more polite. This great victory was thanks to Master Hua's foresight, and he arranged the musketeers behind the city wall in advance, so that the musketeers could be given to that person." A group of pirates attacked head-on, and Hu Liuyang was also killed by Master Hua's disciples. If we want to talk about merit, Master Hua should be the first to take the lead!"
Hua Bushi said calmly: "Master Chai, you're welcome! The pirates of the Black Dragon Palace invaded from the gorge outside the port. They will definitely think of other ways. I deliberately reduced the number of guards on the east city wall. They were really fooled, saying It's a bit of luck."
He turned to Zhu Hong and said: "Zhu Hong, you must be tired after killing Hu Liuyang. Go down and rest first!"
Blocking Hu Liuyang's thirty heavy punch attacks and killing his opponent with thirty palms in a row, Zhu Hong used up a lot of his internal energy. This young master was as meticulous as a hair and had already noticed this when he entered the door.
Zhu Hongying said yes, said goodbye and left.
For this victory, Hua Bushi was not as happy as Yao Yuanxiao, just because this result was within his expectation, but killing one Hu Liuyang and 500 pirates was not as good for the tens of thousands of Dragon Palace tribesmen surrounding the island. , it’s just scratching the surface a little bit, but it can’t change the general trend.
Today is the forty-third day since Okura Island was besieged. It was thirty-nine days ago that Cao Muyun sneaked out of the island to move troops, but there is still no news.
The food stocks on the island are about to be exhausted, and there is no longer enough to feed the more than 100,000 people in the city for another five days. Once the food is out, panic and chaos will inevitably occur, and it will be even more difficult to defend the city.
Several people sat down in front of the round table, and Hua Bushi began to ask about the defense situation at the port. When talking about this, Yao Yuanxiao's mood also dropped.
He sighed and said: "Now the pirate ships are harassing and attacking all the time, trying to rush through the canyon. We have lost three more ships in the past two days, and there is not much ammunition left for the Hongyi cannons on the shore. , if this continues, the medicine will be exhausted soon."
Chai Lin frowned and said: "The loss of the ship is just enough, but running out of ammunition is a serious matter. How can the port be defended without artillery? I think if the pirates hadn't sent large warships to attack, they would have only used small boats to attack the strait. If so, let our ships rush up to shoot with bows and arrows or board the ship for hand-to-hand combat. It would be better to lose manpower than to attack with red barbarian cannons, and we can also save some medicine."
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "This is inappropriate. Nowadays, pirates mostly use small and medium-sized ships to harass and attack, but they dare not attack in large numbers because they are afraid of the Hongyi cannons on our shore. If we suddenly reduce the number of cannons, , they will guess that we are about to run out of medicine, and if they send large warships to attack in a large scale, we will no longer have much medicine, so it will be difficult to resist, and they are afraid that it will lead to a quick defeat."
Yao Yuanxiao said: "What Master Hua said is true. Thirty percent of the warships on the island have been lost in the past few days, and the disciples of our sect have also suffered a lot of casualties. If the pirate ships attack in a large scale, it will be difficult for us to defend the canyon." , the current plan can only be delayed day by day."
Chai Lin said: "There is not much food on the island anymore, medicine and manpower are all stretched now. It seems that we can no longer defend it. Then Cao Muyun went to the mainland to move troops. It has been nearly forty days and there is still no news. Is it possible? Was there some accident?"
Regarding Cao Muyun, although Hua Bushi guaranteed his life, Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao did not trust him. However, in the current crisis, the only hope for saving Okura City is that he brings in reinforcements.[
Sima Rulan gritted her teeth and said: "No matter what, we must defend until the end, and we must not let the pirates from the Black Dragon Palace invade the city!"
Sima Rulan has a high talent for martial arts, and his martial arts is not weak, but he is not good at commanding battles, and he does not have enough experience in fighting. These days, Chai Lin is responsible for commanding the defense of warships in the canyon outside Okura Port. , Yao Yuanxiao, Fu Ao and others were in charge. She wanted to go into battle in person to fight the pirates several times, but was stopped by Chai Lin.
In the battle between ships on the sea, both sides used artillery fire. If they did not board the ship for hand-to-hand combat, martial arts would not be of use. And if the eldest lady of the city was injured, the people in Okura City and the disciples of "Wanjintang" would surely If people's hearts are shaken, the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, although Sima Rulan was extremely anxious, she could not do anything about the war.
Hua Bushi said: "If there is a shortage of manpower, the soldiers guarding the city wall can be transferred to support the port, and hundreds of young and strong indigenous people can be found to put on soldiers' clothes and guard the city wall."
Yao Yuanxiao said: "Those indigenous Babas only know how to farm and fish. Isn't it inappropriate to let them defend the city?"
Okura City now houses more than 70,000 Baba indigenous people, many of whom are young and strong. However, they are all fishermen and farmers and do not know how to use weapons, so they do some odd jobs of moving and building. Shang Ke, if we really want to fight the pirates, we can only rely on the thousands of disciples of the "Wanjin Hall".
Hua Bushi said: "Although the indigenous people are capable of fighting, we just need to dress up as soldiers for the time being. This time the pirates failed to attack the city wall. As long as they saw someone guarding the city wall, they would be instantly Don’t dare to come again.”
His eyes were bright and he added: "These days guarding the bay channel outside the port, our losses are certainly not small. The loss of ships and manpower of the 'Black Dragon Palace' should be even greater than ours. At this time, we must fight hard." The key is who can persevere to the end! Mr. Cao has been out of the island for thirty-nine days, and he will surely be able to bring in reinforcements soon. We must not be discouraged!"
Yao Yuanxiao said: "Young Master Hua is right! We have the geographical advantage of occupying the Bay Channel. How can it be so easy for the 'Black Dragon Palace' to invade Hong Kong? There are no people in the 'Wanjintang' who are afraid of death. Those who If the pirates dare to attack, we will definitely make them miserable!"
Chai Lin said: "That's right! If we really get to the end and we fight to the death, we won't necessarily lose!"
The four of them talked about the war for a while. Yao Yuanxiao and Chai Linxu went to the port to take command, so they each stood up and left. Only Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi were left in the meeting hall.
Hua Bushi was sitting at the table, but he lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He knew very well that what Chai Lin said before, "If you fight to the death, you may not lose," were just words of encouragement. Now, If the two sides really had a decisive battle, Okura Castle would have no chance of winning even with its convenient location.
The two sides fought for many days at the mouth of the bay. Although the losses of the "Black Dragon Palace" were definitely not less than Okura Castle, the warships of the Ryugu tribe were several times more than those of Okura Castle, and food, medicine and food could be supplied. The defenders of the city were like trapped animals in a cage, with less and less medicine and food, and a huge loss of manpower. How to sustain it was really a headache for him.
Sima Rulan's beautiful eyes looked at Hua Bushi in front of the table.
She could see that the young master's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his face was much paler than before. These days, most of the things in Okura City have been handled by Hua Bushi, and the indigenous people The placement of people, the unified distribution of food, the treatment of the injured, etc., and even the strategies for guarding the city were all made by him.
Although everything is in order and in complete chaos, the effort involved is definitely not trivial. Staying awake for several consecutive nights has become a common thing in these days.
For those who have practiced excellent internal skills, staying awake for several days may not be a big deal, but Hua Bushi not only has not practiced martial arts, but also has a weak physique. Such days of hard work have already made him look quite haggard.
Sima Rulan's jade face showed an apologetic look, and said: "Lan'er feels that she is really useless!"
After hearing this, Hua Bushi came back from his thoughts and asked, "Why did Miss Lan'er say this?"
Sima Rulan said: "As the eldest daughter of the city lord of Okura City, my mind is too stupid. I don't know how to deal with many affairs in the city, and I can't protect the common people. I have practiced martial arts for many years in vain, and I can't go into battle. Going to kill the enemy, but letting Mr. Hua work so hard and exhausting his body, don't you think Lan'er is too capable?"
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "Miss Lan'er is wrong to think so! Any skill in this world must be learned and tempered before one can be familiar with it. 'Wanjintang' has always been controlled by City Lord Sima, and There are several elders assisting her. Miss Lan'er has never dealt with the affairs of the sect, so it is difficult for her to learn how to do it in a few days. Unlike my father, who always ignores the trivial matters in the sect, the big and small matters in the 'Evil Dog Sect' Most of the things were handled by Hua Bushi, so I learned these abilities. This has everything to do with whether the mind is stupid." href"http:"The first release of a good-looking novel[]Evil Dog World 454
