Chapter 877: Defeat the Pirates
The tall pirate stared at Wu Song and looked at him, Wu Song was not wearing the uniform of a soldier of the Middle Boundary Island, and his accent was not a native of the Middle Boundary Island, he said suspiciously, "Who are you?"
Wu Song said, "I'm the one who came to drive you out of the Middle Boundary Island. ”
"Shame on you!" the tall pirate furious.
He picked up the sledgehammer and strode towards Wu Song.
The sledgehammer fell, and Wu Song stretched out his left hand and grabbed the sledgehammer.
The sledgehammer was firmly grasped by Wu Song in his hand, not moving at all. The tall pirate was taken aback, and he pulled the sledgehammer with all his might, but to no avail.
Wu Song pulled hard, and the sledgehammer flew out of his hand, flew high into the sky, and then landed several meters away.
Wu Song stepped forward and punched the tall pirate in the chest.
The tall pirate's sternum shattered, flew upside down, blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground, killing him instantly.
Everyone was stunned, and there was silence on the field.
After a while, the other pirates came to their senses and scattered, all of them running away.
Wu Song said to the other soldiers, "Leave it to me here, you can go and see other places." ”
More and more soldiers also entered the village and fought the pirates. The pirates are nothing more than a rabble, and once a comparable number of soldiers appear, they are no rivals.
Soon, more than half of the pirates were slaughtered.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, the remaining pirates immediately fled and returned to the pirate ship on the shore.
They have already grabbed a lot of things, and they are no longer in love. The pirate ship quickly sailed and left the Middle Boundary Island.
Wu Song came to the shore, looked at the pirate ship that was gradually moving away, and frowned.
Those pirates will not stop, and now that they have tasted the sweetness, they will attack the Middle Boundary Island again and again.
The next day, Yoko returned to Moby Dick's house. She hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were bloodshot.
She looked a little tired, but she didn't rest, and there was a lot of work to be done.
Wu Song found her and said straight to the point, "I'll help you deal with those pirates." ”
Last night, Wu Song helped the soldiers deal with the pirates in the north, and Yoko already knew. Yoko said, "Thank you for your help last night, Monk Wu Song.
You are a guest, we can't trouble you. ”
Wu Song said, "There is no need to refuse, I am idle anyway, and I am very happy to be able to help you." ”
Yoko thought about it for a moment and finally said, "Okay, then thank you again." ”
Wu Song said, "Where are the pirates making the most trouble now?"
Yoko thought for a moment and said, "In the eastern region, seventy nautical miles to the east, there is a small island called Bat Island, and a group of pirates have recently come there. They often come to raid the inhabitants of the East Coast.
Especially after knowing that the tsunami was coming, the pirates came more often.
There is a lot of farmland on the east coast, which is the granary of the Middle Boundary Island, and it is harvest time. Those pirates have been harassing the east coast for the past few days, but the soldiers on the island have been used by me to deal with the tsunami, and there is really nothing I can do about those pirates. ”
Wu Song muttered, "How many of those pirates are there?"
Yangzi said, "Generally, there are fifty or sixty people who come ashore to plunder. ”
Wu Song said, "Okay, they handed it over to me." ”
Yoko said, "How many people do you need me to give you?"
Wu Song said, "You don't have to send someone to me. ”
Yoko was taken aback, "Then how do you deal with pirates?"
Wu Song smiled, "I have my own clever plan. ”
The eastern part of the island is flat, stretching from the shore to the interior for sixty or seventy miles, and is all good arable land.
When Wu Song and the others arrived, there were lush wheat seedlings growing in the field. As far as the eye can see, it is an endless amount of green.
However, there were no peasants in the fields, and because of the frequent raids by pirates, the nearby villages were empty, and most of the peasants abandoned their land and moved inland.
A middle-aged man was on a horse, and next to him stood a young squire.
They are the local governors, and after receiving Yangzi's documents, they made a special trip here to wait for Wu Song.
After Wu Song arrived, the middle-aged man dismounted, saluted Wu Song, and said, "Brother Wu Song, my name is Yang Ning, and I am the local county guard. ”
Yang Ning gave Wu Song a detailed introduction to the topography of this place and the previous pirate attacks.
"Which pirate force do these pirates belong to?" Wu Song asked.
There are several pirate forces in the ocean, such as the Wang pirates and the Li pirates, and all pirates basically belong to one of these pirates
Yang Ning said, "They don't belong to any pirate forces, most of the pirates on Bat Island are members of the Wang pirates, and later, when the Wang pirates had a civil war, they broke away and occupied Bat Island, forming their own faction."
Now in the ocean, there are many pirates like this. ”
Wu Song said, "Then if that's the case, this group of pirates should be very easy to deal with." ”
Yang Ning shook his head, "On the contrary, these pirates are more fierce than those big pirate gangs. They were the backbone of the pirates before, and they had a lot of experience, so they dared to break away from the others. ”
Wu Song nodded, looking at the sea and muttering.
Yang Ning looked behind Wu Song, Wu Song came to the eastern region this time, and only brought three people, Wolf Gangfeng and Li Kun. Yang Shuang and Yun Rong stayed in the Moby Dick Mansion.
Although in the letter, Yangzi had already told Yang Ning that Wu Song would not bring a large group of soldiers to come, but seeing that Wu Song only brought such three people, he still felt a little uneasy.
Wu Song said, "Lord County Guard, let's go to the shore and have a look." ”
The group descended the hill and came to the shore.
The shore can be described as unobstructed, except for a few wooden fences on the beach. Those fences were nothing to keep the pirates off, they were nothing at all.
Wu Song was a little puzzled and said, "It's been a few days since the pirate attack, why is there no defense here?"
Yang Ning said helplessly, "There are no soldiers, and most of the soldiers on the island are concentrated in the west and north to deal with the upcoming tsunami." Only a dozen soldiers remained here.
That's why the pirates attacked us. After the pirates came, more than twenty soldiers were sent to the island, but after one attack by the pirates, half of them were killed.
Our remaining soldiers simply can't do anything other than help the residents evacuate. ”
This situation was expected by Wu Song, so he did not express much surprise.
Wu Song walked around the beach, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Finally, they came to a cliff on the shore, Wu Song looked at the sea, and said, "When do the pirates estimate to come?"
Yang Ning said, "They just came once two days ago, and generally speaking, every four or five days, they will come. Considering that in two days, a tsunami will come, so I think there is a good chance that they will come tomorrow evening.
Then, during the tsunami, they won't come again. ”
Wu Song nodded and said, "Time is enough." ”
"Indeed, most of the residents in several villages along the coast have been evacuated, and only a dozen households remain, which is enough time for them to evacuate in one day." ”
"No, Lord Commander," Wu Song said, "I mean, we have enough time to make arrangements and destroy those pirates. ”
Not long after noon the next day, the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds. A cold wind blew, and waves of wheat surged in the wheat field.
The sun is high in the sky, but most of the sun has been obscured by dark clouds, so the weather looks like it's late afternoon.
Wu Song looked up at the sky thoughtfully.
Yang Ning walked to Wu Song's side and followed Wu Song's line of sight to look at the sky, there was nothing in the sky except for dark clouds and the sun.
Yang Ning said, "Brother Wu Song, the things are ready. ”
Wu Song snorted, still looking at the sky intently. Yang Ning was a little curious and said, "What are you looking at?"
Wu Song said, "Sun, Lord Commander, don't you think there is anything abnormal about the sun?"
Yang Ning looked at the sun in the sky, it hung high in the sky, and it seemed to have turned into a disc, which was not dazzling at all.
In the center of the disc, there is a black dot.
At first, Yang Ning thought he had made a mistake. He looked closely, and yes, there was a black dot in the center of the sun. It's not that big, but if you look closely, you can see it clearly.
But even so, Yang Ning felt that it was nothing, "There seems to be a black spot, I think it may be caused by dark clouds." ”
Wu Song shook his head, "No, I saw it yesterday." ”
In fact, to be precise, he saw it from the moment he left Saddle Island. Before, he didn't take it seriously. I thought that it might be some special celestial phenomenon that would disappear after a while.
However, after five days, the black spot still did not disappear, Wu Song felt that things were not simple.
Yang Ning said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Wu Song said, "I don't know, I'm just speculating that maybe this tsunami has something to do with that black spot." ”
Yang Ning said, "How can they be connected?"
Wu Song said, "Actually, I already saw that black spot five days ago. After arriving on Nakakai Island, I learned from Miss Yoko that they had discovered the signs of a tsunami five days earlier.
I don't think it's a coincidence, but I don't know exactly what the connection is between the two. ”
What Wu Song said was too profound for Yang Ning, and he was confused. In order to get rid of the confusion that enveloped him, he repeated his previous words again, "Things are ready." ”
Wu Song said, "Okay, then let's start acting now." ”
Where they are now, next to a field.
There were several soldiers guarding the two bags, Wu Song and Yang Ning came to the side of the bags, and Wu Song opened the bags. There was a smell of blood coming from inside, and inside was a whole bag of minced meat.
The other bag is the same, the two bags add up, there are more than 200 catties of minced meat.
These minced meat are from several wild boars. The beasts were sensitive to disaster, and the nearby beasts had already fled inland several days in advance to escape the impending tsunami.
In order to find those wild boars, Yang Ning led people to go deep into the inland for thirty miles, from the morning to the end of the morning, and then to the hour.
