Shrimp spoke incoherently, obviously frightened.

"Speak well, what the hell is going on."

Finally, the big workers of the logging team who were relieved were relieved, and then they settled down.

"That group of strongmen set up camp in the east, as if they had arrived early last night, there were more than 100 people, and they detained all our people, and only let me come back, saying that they wanted the Hong Kong lord to open the city."

I don't know where the mountain bandits and savages came from, more than 100 people dared to come to fight Tanjung Maya's idea, and their hearts suddenly came up, and they looked down even more unpleasantly on this unpretentious subordinate. Knowing that there are not many thieves camped, although there are some things to worry about, but more than 100 people want to capture the walled city guarded by the elite of their own clan, which is really too underestimated.

"Joke, Lawuchi, pass on my words, the young and strong will give me the city and take out all the arquebuses." After speaking, he looked at the sky, and the clouds were shining with the morning sun, thinking that there should be no rain in this world, and said: "Don't extinguish the fire rope when it is lit, and send two more legs to the west island to say, let them guard the gate and not act rashly." ”

The man behind him, who was called Lawuchi, did not answer the order, but pointed his hand to the distance to the east.

"Lord, they're out."

At the end of the forest to the east, as far as the eye could see, several groups of men and horses had already emerged from the forest.

The young men in short clothes and hair were all in good spirits, so that the Hong Kong owner quickly understood the identity of the person who came.

"These are the short hairs that call themselves Song, right?" Qi Ran asked Shrimp about it.

Shrimp, who had already relieved his breath, looked down at the half-section of the suspension bridge that had been put away under the city, and suddenly felt that he had a reliance, and finally had more confidence to speak.

"The port lord, that's them, but the shorthair is coming by land, and there are no boats, so it must be just a bluff."

This time the shrimp about is a good point, don't look at the Dudong River in front of you outside the walled city is just a strip of narrow shallow clothes, but if you want to swim through, it's usually easy to say. But as long as there are a few archers guarding the city, as soon as they emerge in the water, they will immediately become a target, and the strength of the stockade will not dare to boast of anything else, archery is the top in this area, and whether they encounter savages or beasts in the forest on weekdays, this craft has not been unfamiliar. What's more, the most elite of the archers have long been replaced with muskets, not to mention swimming, even if they stand on the opposite bank, they can be hit with a single shot on the wall. Looking at the short-haired people in front of them, they didn't even wear rattan helmets, even ordinary light bows could also kill and injure these thieves.

However, Qi Ran did not completely relax, after all, he heard about the power of the Song people's iron boats, but he did not know that the draft of the 8154 fishing boat was too deep, and there was no hydrological data here, so at this moment he could only wait on the sea a few miles away, and he could not see it from the walled city of Tanjung Maya.

"Speaking of which, you went to cut wood early in the morning, but there were more than ten people, so I let you come back?"

"Who said no, the villain didn't want these plagued short hairs to be ambushed in the woods, maybe he saw that I was still talking smartly before letting me come back to bring a message to the Hong Kong lord."

Hearing this, he was silent, and after a while, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, what tiger did you just say?" ”

"Oh...... It was a freshly peeled tiger skin seen in the shorthair camp. ”

"Isn't that one?"

At the front of the team was a large flag with a red background, on which the white Polaris pattern was fluttering in the sea breeze, and next to the chess piece was a tiger skin that was raised high by a long pole.

"It's this one, the tiger skin was still bloody, I think it was just killed."

"Then they didn't say anything else?"

The problem came suddenly, the port owner who has been in Tanjung Maya for ten years, the look of the head will not be bad, more than a dozen lumberjacks have been caught and brushed, and the shrimp can be put back? If there is no story in the middle, he doesn't believe it, and the people behind him won't believe it.

However, the shrimp appointment was an opportunity, and hurriedly said: "I was in a panic for a moment and forgot this section, but the Song people were cunning." ”

"What does Shorthair have to say?" Obviously, there is no habit of dragging mud and water.

Shrimp about hesitated for a moment, or decided to tell the truth, after all, it was caught and put back, although it did not match the habits of Nanyang, but obviously did not intend to do things absolutely, Tanjung Maya people have always been businessmen, bargaining is never a shameful thing, presumably the owner of Hong Kong can also understand.

"The leading short-haired man said, if our village is willing to return to the Great Song Dynasty, there will be great benefits in the future, as long as we open, then and the old and young of the clan follow them back to the city of Bornai, by the way, the leader of the short-haired self-proclaimed chief said that the city of Boroni is now called the city of Bharoni."

"Later?" The words of Qi Ran almost erupted from their nostrils, and anyone knew who they were dissatisfied with.

He doesn't know how long this Baba Nyonya has been breeding here, so he also knows something about people overseas, whether it is a Hongyi or a pirate, before tearing his face, he either said that he wanted to go ashore to trade or deduce that he would replenish the drinking water. Like these short-haired people, as soon as they come, they will be obedient, and they will not even mention a decent condition, and they will all be punished when the whole clan goes to the country, and the old lord of the country only dared to let the masters of the walled city send hostages to show their loyalty, and they have never heard of killing them all. is so unreasonable, it is really a bit arrogant.

"When?" Xiong Taibai asked about Sbran impatiently.

"Twelve o'clock in a quarter of an hour, hungry?" Spuran, who had just woken up, straightened his bandana, looked at the watch on his right wrist and said.

"I just couldn't pull it out after holding back a bubble of urine, and I was very panicked." Xiong Taibai rarely got serious, before seeing Tanjung Maya, he had always thought that it was just a group of natives, but when he came out of the forest early in the morning, the outline of the walled city built by the water appeared in his sight, and the disbelief that originally came out of his eyes was replaced by solemnity and greed.

Although it is just a wooden wall, and the size is only a larger courtyard, it is even difficult to say which one is more spacious than the original commercial station in Port Slim, but the Baba people's one-on-one style still makes Xiong Taibai have more respect in his heart, 'worthy of being a descendant of the Han people', Xiong Taibai said in his heart.

Sburan knows Xiong Taibai's thoughts, anyone who looks at the situation here will also feel that the conditions are really good, whether it is a salt field or a forest farm, if it is taken over by himself, he will be able to develop various industries here in a short time, compared to the lonely fortress in Zhangjiagang in the east, there are too many possibilities for change, and when these possibilities become a reality, it is his own credit, and this first part is naturally to take this most important place - Tanjung Maya City.

As for whether it can be successfully obtained, neither of them has any doubts, the dozen or so large wooden boxes that were brought down from the ship last evening are the guarantee of all this, everything is just a matter of time.

"What do you see?" Zhu Dazhao asked the young man next to him with concern.

The relaxed form even made him give up the plan of arranging a bunker, and the stockade a mile away did not feel any threat to the two people who were now standing at the front.

Wu Hao's palms holding the high-powered telescope were already sweaty, and he tried his best to control his excited hands not to shake too much, he had heard that Hongyi had such a clairvoyant mirror that could see in the distance, and the lord of the country seemed to have bought a pair at a high price, but it was just rumors, and he had never seen it. And what the chief has now handed over to him is more sophisticated than the rumored clairvoyant mirror, although the ignorant understanding can also understand, and he will never see thousands of miles away, but it is already unthinkable to be able to absorb every move of the enemy a mile away.

Of course, there are many better ones in the treasury on Labuan Island than this one in the hands of today's teenagers, but this 21st century domestic 95-type 7×40 telescope is enough to be called shocking for Wu Hao's limited cognition.

The figure on the opposite wall was like a figure in front of him in the chief's clairvoyant mirror, and his every move could not escape his eyes.

"People." Wu Hao replied tremblingly, and then added. "That's a lot of people."

The owner of Tanjung Maya has always acted decisively, and in less than half a moment, all the young men in the village have gone to the head of the city.

After Wu Hao finished speaking, Zhu Dazhao said slowly: "How did you teach you on weekdays?" ”

The boy snorted, looked at the headmaster's affirmative eyes, and raised his binoculars to look at the other side.

There was no sound between the lips opening and closing, as if silently counting, and then word by word in a rhythm different from the usual speech.

"Twelve."

"Five hundred meters away."

"The wall is about three meters high."

"There are seventy people, and counting."

"At least half of them have muskets."

Zhu Dazhao smiled with satisfaction, obviously satisfied with Wu Hao's performance, but in order to confirm it, he still picked up the telescope hanging on his chest and looked at it again, before putting it down satisfied. His telescope is the latest military product brought from the original time and space, and he also has a certain ability to observe hidden dead corners in the light field environment, which is naturally not comparable to the second-hand goods used by students.

Through personal observation, you can have a more intuitive understanding of the situation in the village, the back of the wall is naturally still invisible, but all those who are on the wall, no matter in which direction, add up to a total of nearly two hundred, it is worth mentioning that these strong men all have equipment, or rattan armor, or leather chest guards. Among them, a middle-aged man with a gorgeously dressed beard and a thick beard that had not yet had time to wear armor seemed to be the owner of the place, watching the position where the cadets were gathering at the top of the city.

"Zhang Xinghua."

Zhu Dazhao shouted loudly, and a square-faced and small-eyed teenager came out of the team.

With a bang, a rifle was thrown over and landed firmly in the boy's hand.

"See, let's shoot the musket first."

The boy didn't speak, just hummed softly.

"Take your time, don't be in a hurry, the students still have to eat."

Zhu Dazhao just instructed him in the end.
