0485 Take the fort
He stood firm beside the pirate, staring at the pirate's neck. The pirate slept soundly wrapped in a blanket and hung his head, unaware that anyone was standing beside him. I saw Luo Yan lunge slightly, slowly raise his arm, and then slammed down! We only heard a slight "click", and the sleeping pirate was hit hard! His originally drooping head fell directly to his chest! Luo Yan simply and neatly broke his cervical vertebrae!
Breaking the pirate's neck, Luo Yan still maintained a lunge posture and did not move. But the fist had already opened in an instant, pinching the dead pirate's shoulder, not allowing the pirate's body to slip. At the same time, he turned his eyes sideways, staring at the pirate diagonally opposite. It turned out that the pirate was awake and slept soundly.
After a few moments, Luo Yan was sure that he was not awakened and was still sleeping deeply. Only then did he slowly let go of his hand and stand up straight. But the pirate couldn't break his neck. Because his head was against the wall, the strength of his fist was not enough.
But Luo Yan has a way. He drew a short knife from his waist and stepped forward quietly, holding his breath and half-crouching in front of the pirate. Then he gently stretched out his left hand and loosely grasped the corner of the blanket. Only then did he aim the short knife in his right hand at the pirate's chest.
He holds this position for about a second or two, and then suddenly activates! With a thrust of his right hand, the dagger stabbed the pirate in the chest. At the same time, his left hand pulled the blanket with lightning speed, blocking the pirate's mouth and nose. And his left knee pressed forward quickly, pressing against the pirate's legs, preventing his leg from twitching and alerting the people inside the fortress.
Luo Yan killed people when he was walking in the rivers and lakes before! So he knows that when a person's lungs are injured, he can't shout at all, and can only make a short "hehe" sound. The blanket in his left hand had already blocked the pirate's mouth and nose, and the pirate's short, muffled "hehe" sound was blocked in the middle of the blanket.
The pirate's eyes widened as he looked at the black-scarfed assailant in front of him. But the blood had poured down his throat and he couldn't make a sound anymore. The strength of the whole body is also lost. The two of them stared at each other like this, until the pirate's eyes lost their sparkle.
When Luo Yan saw that the pirate was dead, he covered the wound with a blanket. However, he didn't pull out the dagger, which would make the blood flow out, and the smell was too strong. Then he stood up and waved his hand down the wall. Soon, the remaining six people all climbed to the top of the fortress.
Luo Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to the thick plank in the middle of the top of the fortress. That was the passage to the inside of the fort. Immediately two men went over and gently lifted the plank without making a sound. When the planks were removed, a large square entrance and exit were revealed, and a wooden ladder could be faintly visible from the entrance.
Luo Yan knew that his side had to speed up. Because once the sea breeze blows through this huge hole, the people below are likely to wake up. And that wooden ladder must not be stepped on! Stepping on it will definitely make a "squeak" sound, enough to wake up a sleeping pirate.
So Luo Yan made a gesture to follow me, raised his foot and jumped towards the entrance and exit! However, instead of jumping over the ladder facing him, he jumped to the side of the ladder. When his body was still in mid-air, he put his hand on the edge of the entrance and exit, and the decline speed of his body suddenly slowed down! Then he let go of his hand, and the man fell to the ground lightly, without a sound!
After Luo Yan stood firm, he immediately left the landing position quickly and silently, so as to make way for the people behind him to settle down. As he walked, he determined the number of people inside the fortress by the faint light of the embers of the firepit. There were only six of them! It seems that the pirates were really not interested in defense.
Three more people jumped down behind Luo Yan, but at this time Luo Yan didn't want to wait. Because the cover on the top of the fort was opened, the sea breeze was pouring in, and the temperature in the fort was dropping rapidly. The pirates' snoring was lowering, and there were already signs of waking up.
So without hesitation, Luo Yan took out the second short knife, swiped it on the neck of the target he had chosen, and then quickly straddled his body and swung the short knife at the second pirate!
As he slit the throat of the second man, the "clucking" moans and writhing sounds from the mouth of the first pirate with the throat cut, as well as the sound of his companions slashing into flesh, came almost simultaneously!
His companions really lived up to his trust, fully understood Luo Yan's intentions, and killed their chosen target as quickly as possible. The five pirates in the fortress are in a state of death struggle in an instant!
The "gurgling" sound in the throat, the heavy wheezing sound after the lungs were punctured, and the sound of hands and feet twitching together. But not a single one made any slightly louder noise! But the sound was enough to wake up the last pirate in the bunker. But unfortunately, when he slowly opened his eyes without alertness, Luo Yan had already pounced in front of him, and his left fist hit his throat hard! I only heard a crisp "click", and his Adam's apple was shattered in an instant! Immediately afterward, he felt something sharp pierce his chest, stir it for a moment, and then pull it out.
In an instant, he felt that the strength of his whole body was gone, and it was all lost with the withdrawal of that thing! He knew he was attacked! I wanted to shout but couldn't, I just felt that my chest was breathless! He reached out to grab the dark shadow in front of him, but he didn't catch anything! After waving his arm twice in vain, he fell weakly and died completely!
At this time, the sixth person had just landed. In just a few breaths, the six pirates in the fortress have been completely cleared! A strong smell of blood filled the space inside the fort. But no one cared about the people inside the fortress, because they had already smelled too much blood. They remained silent, waiting for Luo Yan's orders.
Luo Yan stretched out his hand and drew a circle with his index finger pointing down. Several people immediately dispersed and began to search inside the fortress to see if anyone had slipped through the net. Although Luo Yan didn't think that there would be a slip through the net, the habit of long-term training and his cautious and cautious style still prompted him to do so.
The fortress wasn't big, and the other people shook their heads after coming back in a circle, signaling that no one had slipped through the net. Luo Yan nodded with satisfaction and walked directly to the fortress gate on the side of the fort. He gently opened the gate, and the sea breeze poured into the fortress, sweeping the bloody gas away from the holes in and out of the top. Luo Yan took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze and led people to the fort not far away.
The structure of the turret was simpler than that of the fortress. It was just a thick low wall built on top of a paved stone slab, with only a bamboo shed to shelter from the rain. It's not that the craftsmen cut corners, it's that there are no flowering shells yet, they are all solid shells, and there is no need for fully enclosed fortresses to protect against shrapnel and shock waves. What's more, this kind of open turret is more conducive to artillery firing, as long as a few soft sandbags are placed in front of it.
When a few people approached, Luo Yan found that the people on the fort were even more relaxed. Probably because they felt that there was a fortress blocking the mountain road, they could sit back and relax! So they actually lit a bonfire in the fort! Moreover, this battery, which was equipped with three heavy guns, was actually only four people on duty. The four men were still lying on the ground around the fire and sleeping soundly.
Luo Yan laughed at these pirates again in his heart. He felt that this battle was won! He even felt that it was a loss of identity for the marshal to fight these pirates! It's just that at this time, he subconsciously ignored the huge strength gap between Liu Pei and Zheng Zhilong.
Seeing that there were only four people on the other side, Luo Yan didn't bother to do anything. Directly stretched out his hand and pointed at four people, including the two people who didn't have a chance to do it just now, and motioned for them to solve these four people. He walked towards the cliff in front of the battery. By the time he reached the edge of the cliff and stood still, the dying voices of the four cloud pirates sounded behind him.
