Chapter 40: Attacking the Salt Dealers

The volunteers set out, with the certainty of victory, with the spirit of courage and disregard for themselves, in order to be promoted and rich, for the sake of women, no one can stop them.

I also saw the matter of the chief dividing the women for the captain just now, and some captains were divided into three, which was too much of a stimulus to the volunteers, and this is the benefit of fighting.

Didn't the Volunteers complain when they saw the chief giving the women to his cronies? Well, this is really not, those women are the credit of the chief alone, the pirates were attacked by the chief, and they didn't contribute, that is, to catch the pirates who didn't dare to resist, why should they ask for women.

Zhang Lin clenched his spear and followed the volunteers, and after listening to the chief's promise, he made up his mind to perform well for his dream of being promoted to become rich.

These days of training have given him confidence, and the effect of hard training has been shown in the actual combat just now, the chief ordered to pursue the fleeing pirates, but are pirates so easy to deal with, even if the chief defeats confidence, the combat effectiveness of the pirates is beyond doubt.

If there was no ability, the pirates would have been eliminated in the pirate black, and the remaining pirates are all fierce and abnormal, killing people without blinking, killing pirates is just stepping on an ant to death.

Zhang Lin and the two volunteers pursued a pirate, although they were very tired from the journey before, but they could still chase the fleeing pirate, if the pirate met other officers and soldiers, military households or something, there were no horses, it was difficult to catch up with them.

But Zhang Lin and the two volunteers were so tired that they chased the pirates, and the pirates finally had a little strength left, and they wanted to resist with a big knife, but they were stabbed to the ground by three spears.

Zhang Lin remembers the desperate eyes of the pirates, that is the fear of them, after experiencing the tempering of pirates, Zhang Lin is full of confidence in himself and his partners, the vicious pirates have been killed, are you still afraid of those thugs! A cohesive force is created in the volunteers.

"Master housekeeper, something is wrong."

A subordinate dressed as a housekeeper was so frightened that he ran in and reported the news to the housekeeper in Liu Bao.

"You get out of the way, and you will look good when the time comes."

The servant wanted to go in to find the housekeeper but was stopped by two doormen, "Which one of the housekeepers are you, is the housekeeper you want to see!" ”

"Two big brothers, there is really a big matter, a team of people has come outside, it looks like they are coming to beat us, go and ask the housekeeper to come out!"

One of the guards had his nostrils facing the sky, "Ha, haha, you said that someone came to attack Liu Bao, go and go, there are people in this area who dare to provoke us." ”

The next person who came over was about to cry, when was this, who was in the mood to laugh with you. "Two big brothers, you go outside to see, anyway, I'll bring it, and when there is a problem, the housekeeper will look for you."

The doorman looked as if something really had happened, "Wait a minute, I'll report it, it's better if it's true, otherwise you will disturb the housekeeper to have you look good." ”

The Volunteers had already appeared outside Fort Liu, and although it was Fort Liu, it was nothing more than a wooden fort walled with wood. The thugs in it are private thugs who protect salt, and they usually rely on more people to bully the weak, of course, there are outlaws, but the proportion of such people is very small, Liu Huashan is just a smuggler of salt, it is good to be able to raise a few outlaws, if hundreds of his subordinates are outlaws, can he be a smuggler of salt to suppress those people.

When the volunteers appeared in a uniform figure, the thugs on the wooden fence panicked. This kind of momentum is properly Wang Shifan.

Li Shi waited for Liu Baonei to react, this time the chief meant that he would exercise the ability of the volunteers to attack the enemy head-on, otherwise they would break the stockade and burn it down, and it would not be more convenient to attack again.

Zijian played, but the regular army, with strong strength, pushed over, sneak attack everything is a floating cloud, so that the enemy is wiped out in trembling.

Soon, on the wooden fence, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar appeared, and the volunteers were 50 meters away, and they could still hear loudly and clearly.

"The strong men below, I don't know what you have to do with us Liu Bao."

Li Xi stepped forward and smiled, "Our chief sees that this place is good, so this is ours." ”

The middle-aged literati endured his anger and said, "I have been staying here for ten years, your leader is too domineering, and we are not vegetarians." ”

The middle-aged man didn't expect that after the other party heard it, he immediately jumped to his feet and was furious, and the other party shouted, "Okay, you actually occupy our chief's place for so long, do you still have a royal law, give you a chance, compensate our chief for the loss of 100,000 taels of silver, and then tie your hands and come out to surrender, otherwise you will kill your whole family after you go in." ”

The middle-aged literati now know what shamelessness is, and if it is possible, they really want to kill the other party.

Li Xi learned from the chief, first stand on a moral foothold, and then beat you on the moral high ground, you are guilty. This place used to be the chief, but now it has been used by you for ten years, so it's not too much to lose some silver, just 100,000 taels of silver.

As for the head ten years ago, he didn't know where he was, there is no problem with this, anyway, now the volunteers say that this is the chief, then this is the truth, choose humiliating compensation, or brave death, two paths, you choose, of course, there is a third way, the thugs in Liu Fort wiped their necks with knives, so there is no need to choose.

The middle-aged literati was speechless, the other party was obviously provocative, naked provocation, but he wanted to rely on the wooden fence to block the other party's attack, but the next moment this method was shattered.

"You'd better come out and surrender immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu will burn this broken village."

The middle-aged literati have no choice, Liu Bao is built of wood, and he is most afraid of fire, so why not build it with bricks and stones! Hehe, if it is built with bricks and stones, no matter how many ten smugglers have the financial resources, it will not be enough to fill it, and repairing the brick wall is a matter of burning silver, which is a systematic work, and the manpower and financial resources needed to make it not a joke, now a smuggler of salt, it is good to be able to build a village with wood.

Li Xi felt very happy, he had also experienced the feeling of the chief, just like Li Xi went to someone else's house and said, your wife is hers, and now I want you to compensate for his losses, you have used Li Shi's wife for so long, you should give some compensation!

Directly say that other people's wives are their own, and they have to compensate for the losses, normal people have to copy the guy and work hard when they hear it, and now middle-aged literati feel like this, there is a kind of depression.

The middle-aged literati then became angry, the other party was less than two hundred, but he was so arrogant, Liu Bao had at least four hundred people, are you still afraid of the other party. immediately ordered all the beaters to kill the other party, in his opinion, the other party was obviously looking for death.

When the middle-aged literati saw that there were many people on his side, he felt that he would definitely be able to win, and when the time came, he would have to arrest that arrogant guy and hang him for a day to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But he ignored other factors, fighting a war, not relying on a large number of people, other factors will affect the outcome of the war. But he is usually a literati who commands more people and bullies less people, thinking that the volunteers outside are the same as the scum of the past.

Zhang Lin was a little nervous, although he had killed a pirate before, but it was three people against one person, and now he wants the entire volunteer army to gather a team to face the enemy, relying on the brother next to him, and now the most trusted person around him is the brother next to him.

However, Zhang Lin looked at the enemy on the wood, and looked at the sturdy teammates around him, and his confidence increased a lot, and the enemy looked scattered, which was much worse than his own side.

The volunteers do not have leather armor, if the enemy has archers, then the casualties of the volunteers will be great, the bow and arrow can easily penetrate the Mai of the volunteers, but the volunteers are 50 meters away, why did Liu Bao not shoot arrows!

Bows and arrows belonged to high-end weapons in the Ming Dynasty, archers had to be trained from an early age, bows and arrows were not so easy to make, several problems added up, Liu Huashan was a small smuggler of salt, and he had no ability to train archers.

The current status of archers is equivalent to that of snipers in later generations, is it so easy to train snipers!

So, don't look at the volunteers getting so close, but the people inside can't do anything about them.

The wooden door creaked open, and the thugs inside were ready, and when the door opened, more than 300 people led by more than 10 outlaws went out to fight.

The middle-aged literati think that their side will definitely win, why? There are a lot of people! Although the people outside looked a little neatly lined up, they numbered less than two hundred people.

Li Xi also thinks that his side can win, because of these days of training, adequate nutrition, and knowing that there is a powerful leader behind them gives them confidence, and they still have confidence in the face of a slightly larger number of enemies.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out!
