From the ridge to the beach, the main body of the water village is a variety of wooden buildings, the main building is a large house on the ridge, sitting north and facing south, is the commanding height of the neighborhood, and is also the place where the people of the village gather.

Surrounding the house are rows of dwellings, all built along the hill to the pier near the bay, all of which are enclosed by a row of wooden fences.

There is also a wooden gate in the direction of the pier and on the ridge, and the door opening is a platform, and there are wooden stairs to climb up, obviously, this platform also has the function of an observation deck.

"It's a good place......

"Surrounded by mountains and rivers, by the mountains and the sea, it is really a place of victory!"

At this moment, the four guests and hosts sat on the main hall of the big house, drinking tea while looking at the cottage in full view, and they were relaxed and happy for a while, so that Xiao Ai and Ren Ke both commented in an admiring tone.

"It's just that the world is so big, but I don't know where there is a place for us......"

Gao Jun, who was sitting next to him, had a look of worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry, the owner of the village, my Australian Federation is a free state, there is no evil law and harsh government, but as long as you abide by the law, hard work and honesty, you can live in peace, if you have talent, you can also give full play to it, whether you work or do business, you can live a peaceful and prosperous life......"

Ren Ke immediately spoke to Gao Jun.

Irush on the side felt that Ren Ke's words were a bit empty, and wanted to introduce some more specifics, such as various discounts for reclamation, etc., but before the words reached his mouth, on the ridge outside the main hall, there was a sudden rush of bells, Gao Junzhi immediately jumped up from the chair, and looked at a man who was quickly climbing the stairs outside the hall with a worried face, obviously his man had a major situation to report to the owner of the village.

A moment later, a panting report came from outside the hall:

"Urgent! Shishanzhai ...... 500 ...... More than ...... Armed to come, it is close to the third ...... of the cottage door Three miles! ”

Immediately afterwards, another man wearing a straw hat and carrying a bow and arrows rushed to him, shouting:

"Enlighten the village master! On the mountain avenue...... Appear...... Appear...... Green Camp Banner! ”

Well, what should come will always come.

At this time, Ren Ai and the two glanced at each other, and nodded slightly to each other, Okay, it's time to prepare to test the combat effectiveness of our garrison......

The mountain road of two or three miles was almost there, and there was no room for anyone present to discuss slowly, but Xiao Ai walked a few steps out of the big house, took out a whistle, and blew the Assassin's horn into the typhoon shelter under the ridge, and the sharp whistle pierced the calm in the cove.

Gao Jun looked for prestige, only to see a large group of men immediately pouring out of the upper deck of the Assassin, each of them carrying a long fire gun on their shoulders, and at the top of the fire gun, there was a long blade that flashed white light.

This made Gao Jun stunned, and said that this was the first time he had seen this kind of firearm, but this person's face immediately showed a sad color, because when this group of men disembarked in a neat line and came to the beach, the number was only eighty.

So Gao Jun sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that today's war is afraid that it will be more auspicious and less, after all, the gap between the number of the two sides is too big, thinking that the Lion Cottage alone has more than 800 strong men, and recently annexed Datang Village, the strong men must have incorporated a lot, although they have not poured out the nest now, but the five hundred strong men are obviously superior, and now the Lion Cottage is narrow and victorious, and the Tatar Green Battalion helps, it must be with the heart of extermination.

On the other hand, on their side, there are only more than 300 soldiers who can fight, and this also counts the men who have not gone through the battle formation, such as teenagers and old people, in fact, the men who can really fight are in their early 200s, and now although the Australians have help, there are only less than 100 people, this disparity in strength, how can they fight?

From this point of view, I will definitely lose this battle, and perhaps, next year, today will be my death day......

When Gao Jun thought of this, his face turned a little pale, and he turned his head to the Zhong family members and Ren Ke who were present and said:

"You can still help in this situation, I am grateful, in this case, I hope that Brother Zhong and Ren Ai, the two brothers, will quickly bring the women and children on the ......boat."

However, Xiao Ai didn't wait for the owner of the village to finish speaking, but he responded aloud beside him:

"Brother Gao, don't worry, since we are here, we must defeat this current enemy and ensure that everyone in this big water village retreats!"

Gao Jun listened to it and said:

"Brother Ai is benevolent and righteous, but this soldier is dangerous and dangerous, and there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, and there is no room for a little difference, since you are here to transport women and children, a certain will fight to the death against the enemy, and ensure that you lead women and children to get on the boat calmly......"

This clock family member next to him said:

"Brother Gao, come to Japan, don't do this fish to die and break the net, now that the Australian soldiers have arrived, you can quickly deploy defenses in critical places, just now on the boat, Ren Ai's two little brothers have made it clear to a certain person that they want to be the main force in this battle......"

Gao Jun was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart How should he only rely on these eighty firearms?

Although he has not seen how the Australians fight, he has seen Xiao Ai's musketeers shoot targets with his own eyes, and when he saw the Australian firearms, the rapid fire of a few breaths, and the surprising hit rate of a hundred steps away, he actually saw that he was a little frightened, and secretly sighed that if the Ming soldiers had this firearms and equipment, how could the Tartars gallop in the Central Plains?

At this time, he still wanted to explain, but when he saw that Ren Ke Ai Rush had already hurried out of the main hall, went up to a high staircase, and took out his binoculars to look at the valley in the distance, he didn't say much, and immediately pulled Gao Jun to follow.

At this time, Gao Jun found that the team of eighty people had already entered the walled gate, obviously this was to come directly to participate in the battle, rather than just picking up women and children on the beach to maintain order.

Seeing that Gao Jun and the Zhong family's family also came over, Ren Ai didn't say much, and the two almost asked Gao Jun together, how many ways did the other party attack? Where are the main routes?

Gao Jun didn't have time to think about it at this time, and immediately told the two brothers that the back door of the water village on the ridge was the main offensive route, because the terrain there was gentle and not easy to defend, and it was the weakest defensive area in the entire water village.

Therefore, it is also the key defense point of the village, with a wooden gate, a wooden platform above the doorway, which can be condescendingly attacked with firearms and bows and arrows, and the wooden fences on both sides of the doorway are also higher than other sections.

However, because the terrain was very gentle, it was suitable for the attackers to deploy their forces, so although the defenses were the strongest, even if the wooden fence was double-layered, and the lookout on top of the doorway had a wooden wall like a wall, it was still easy to be broken by outnumbered attackers if the defenders were not manpowered.

As for the other areas, because of the mountains and forests, the opponent is very unfavorable to attack from the back, and as for both sides of the bay and the beach, because they are both cliffs, the coast is a narrow rocky beach, and it is difficult to walk on foot, and it is not a way to conquer.

After Ren Ai and the others listened, they briefly discussed a few words, and Ren Ke immediately suggested to Gao Jun that the elder brother only needed to place the main force on the two wings of the door opening at the back door of the water village, and use the wooden fence as a basis to monitor the ridge of the back mountain to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on both wings.

Then he asked the Zhong family to go to the beach, and led the sailors of the Assassin and the other three ships to bring the women and children aboard, and by the way, they monitored the rocky beaches on both sides of the bay, and if necessary, the sailors of the Assassin and Zhong Qiao's ships could use muskets and bronze cannons to block possible sneak attacks.

The front of the back door of the water village and the nearby wooden fence are facing a gentle slope that is not conducive to defense, which is obviously not only the enemy's main attack direction, but also the most critical and weakest part of the defense, at this time Ren Ke said decisively:

"Then leave it to the eighty musketeers we brought with us to defend it."
