Han Zhao, the county magistrate of Xinning County, has been in a good mood these days.

He has a new concubine, not to mention that she is handsome, and she is proficient in blowing, playing and singing.

As for the work under his bed, it is even more unique, and Han Zhao, who is waiting, is fluttering.

As soon as this man gets older, he will inevitably be unable to do anything in bed.

Han Zhao is now thirty-three in his forties, and he also has to take some drugs to help his fun.

He recalled the lingering with his concubine after taking the pill last night, and he only felt his heart ripple.

Han County's order was reminiscing, and the front office suddenly came to report.

Although Han Zhao was impatient, he still summoned the officer.

Who knew that this official brought a piece of news that made Han Zhao stunned.

Xinning County has been robbed.

This group of thieves is not an ordinary hair thief, but a pirate who kills people and extorts goods and does all kinds of evil.

It stands to reason that the pirates will not fight the government's idea, and they will leave on their own after plundering along the coast.

But this gang of Haikou didn't know what medicine they had taken wrongly, and they actually killed in the direction of the county seat of Xinning County.

In a small county like Xinning County, the circumference of the city is only two or three miles, and there are only some township warriors stationed in it, so it has no defense capability at all.

If the pirates forcibly attack the city, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

And once the county seat was breached, Han Zhao was convicted of losing land and power, and losing his official position was small and his life was great.

The imperial court's punishment for losing land and losing power is very severe, and it is likely that the news of the front foot reached the Beijing Division, and the Jinyi Wei Tiqi who came to arrest the back foot was already on the way.

And once he was arrested by Jinyiwei and returned to Beijing, most of them would not be able to escape the fate of beheading Xishi.

Han County Commander has only been an official for a few years, so he naturally didn't want to lose his life in a daze, so he immediately called the master to ask for countermeasures.

The master eats the grain ordered by Han County, so he naturally has to share the worries of the master's family.

He thought for a moment and came up with an idea, that is, to ask for help from the neighboring Xinhui County

The strength of Xinhui County is relatively strong, and if the two counties join forces, they may not be afraid of a sea bandit.

Han County was overjoyed, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ordered the official to go to Xinhui County for help.

On the other hand, he also organized the township warriors of his county to garrison the city and make preparations with both hands.

Han County Ling was restless in the county office, and finally decided to inspect the city.

He changed into a very ill-fitting armor and went up to the city, surrounded by several of his entourage.

Standing at the head of the city, he could clearly see the direction of these pirates.

They are indeed coming in the direction of the county seat!

Han Xianling's face was pale, and if he hadn't been supported by his relatives, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing Haikou getting closer and closer, Han Zhao's mood became more and more nervous, and he couldn't even speak.

One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies.

Seeing the county lord like this, the villagers looked at each other.

It is said that those pirates are murderous demons, and they must not be allowed to invade the city.

Otherwise, not only will their lives not be guaranteed, but their wives and children may not be able to escape.

They simply do not need to mobilize when their vital interests are threatened.

"Lord County, look, those pirates are circling the city!"

A villager Yong had sharp eyes and saw the Haikou in the front row stop a hundred steps to the city gate and went in the direction of Xinhui County.

Han Xian Ling sighed and looked in the direction that Xiang Yong was pointing. I saw that these ferocious Haikou really changed their direction, no longer advancing towards Xinning County, but around Xinhui County.

A stone hanging in Han Zhao's heart finally landed.

That's good, that's good.

As long as these Haikou don't come to Xinning County, it's good to go anywhere.

......

......

"What! Li Dan: They landed from the Tiger Leaping Gate? ”

Ning Xiu was very surprised when he received the report.

He originally thought that Li Dan might land in Macao from Xiangshanao or Lingdingyang, and then cross the Xiangjiang River to Xiangshan County.

Who knew that Li Dan shook a shot and went around to the Tiger Leaping Gate to land.

To say that this Tiger Leaping Gate sea area is quite well-known.

Because not far from here is Yashan, the place where the Southern Song Dynasty court perished.

Unexpectedly, Li Dan avoided Macao, which was well-defended, and chose to land at Yashan, which was relatively weakly defended.

After landing in Yashan, this Kou successively bypassed Xinning and Xinhui County, and went straight to Xiangshan County.

It seems that this thief has made up his mind to break the net with Ning Xiuyu.

Ning Xiu sneered, but he didn't panic.

Fortunately, he kept a hand, and seconded fifteen mercenaries from the Governor of Franco.

There is no shortage of artillery and guns in Xiangshan County, and with these mercenaries, he is really not afraid of Li Dan's attack.

It's just that he had never commanded a similar battle before, so it was better to be cautious when dealing with it suddenly.

Ning Xiu immediately called Qi Wen and other veterans of the Qi family's army, and accompanied by them, he gathered the officials of the county government, the officers and soldiers of the inspection department, the township braves, and fifteen mercenaries, and explained to them the news of the detour of the Haikou invaders.

These people have shown different attitudes towards this.

The Franc Mercenaries were at ease, apparently not afraid of these pirates.

The officers and soldiers of the county government and the inspection department looked at each other. Of course, they didn't want to fight with the pirates, but if the pirates really came to attack, they couldn't escape, so they all looked solemn.

As for Xiang Yong, he was at a loss.

They usually only conduct simple drills, and have no actual combat experience at all.

Right now, listening to the meaning of the county honor, there is a vicious battle in front of you, but what should I do?

Ning Xiu was not surprised by everyone's performance.

But he was not afraid of the pirates, for he had several Franco's cannons to rely on.

Since ancient times, siege warfare has been dominated by the defenders. As long as the city has enough food and grass, it is difficult to take advantage of the convenience of attacking the city, and it is often necessary to invest ten times the number of troops defending the city to be able to conquer the city.

According to the report from the spies, the group of pirates led by Li Dan is about 200 people.

And Ning Xiu had fifteen Franc machine mercenaries and more than a dozen Qi family army veterans in his hands. These are elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of these pirates. What's more, they also have firecrackers and artillery, which can basically be used as one.

As for the officers and men of the inspection department, although the combat effectiveness of the county government officials cannot be compared with these veterans, they are also of good use.

The villagers basically have no combat experience, but they can still do it by moving some rolling logs and stones and boiling some boiling water when defending the city.

With these reserve forces there, Ning Xiu was not afraid of fighting a war of attrition with Li Dan.

He is backed by a strong city, what does Li Dan have?

Of course, for the sake of safety, Ning Xiu still sent a servant to the Governor's Mansion of the Franc Ji to ask for help, although the reinforcements could not arrive immediately, but they would eventually arrive, and at that time, these pirates would be unable to fly.

The county Cheng Huang stood behind Ning Xiu with a pale face, obviously not understanding why these Haikou really dared to come.

Master He and Cui Dianshi were no better, and they were so frightened that they were colorless.

Ning Xiu glanced at them, his heart full of disdain. He didn't count on these colleagues either, and when the time came, he would only rely on Qi Wen and other veterans and the Franco mercenaries.
