Chapter 66: Nowhere to start

In the dark night, a red-haired ghost armed merchant ship full of Japanese robbers appeared like a ghost in the sea area east of Magang Town, Changguo County. Further, the ship might have run aground, and as soon as the red-haired ghost's big ship stopped, the three hundred Japanese on board rowed desperately in the night breeze on a dozen small sampans, and after losing two small boats, they finally came ashore wet.

didn't have time to rest, the leader counted the number of people, and rushed to Magang Town with the group in the dark.

Magang Town is only less than ten miles from the coast, and the distance is not too long, and an old man takes a breath and runs all the way, that is, half an hour's journey. "Quick, quick, quick!" The little leader of the team panted and shouted in a low voice, it is now past the hour, and if you don't hurry up and take action, you will miss a big thing.

Magang Town is a fairly wealthy town, with nearly 2,000 residents, and in addition to fishing in the sea, the most important means of livelihood is to grow rice. In the two seasons a year, in addition to the taxes paid and household expenses, there is still some surplus food left every year.

Full of warmth and desire, life is rich, and people always like to have fun. This Magang Town can be described as a model of a sparrow that is small and has all kinds of organs, there are all kinds of inns and wine shops, and of course, there are a few secret prostitutes who are also very active.

According to intelligence, in the past, at such an hour, although most people had already turned off the lights and gone to bed, there must still be some nightless activities on the streets. But today's things are very evil, the Magang Town in front of you is pitch black, not to mention the human voice, not even the dog's lungs bark.

"Leader, is our deeds exposed, and the officers and soldiers have set up an ambush here?" One of his subordinates looked at the situation in front of him and analyzed it self-righteously.

The leader was not a smart man, and when he heard this, he nodded his head, "Well, that makes sense." "Leader, should we retreat now?" The subordinate Wako continued to ask.

"No, this time we have a major task, and the attack on Magang Town is to attract the officers and soldiers of Changguo County, how can we say that we will retreat." The leader shook his head and said, without waiting for his subordinates to speak, he waved his hand and ordered: "Go, take your people to kill them and have a look, if the number of officers and soldiers in the ambush is not large, Lao Tzu will clean them up in one go today." ”

The subordinates were shocked, and hurriedly begged: "Boss, just spare your subordinates, just bring a dozen people in, isn't this looking for death?" ”

"Bastard, no matter how verbose Lao Tzu is, I'll be you now, why don't you hurry up?" The leader glared and shouted, he retreated without engaging the enemy, and he would have to be executed by the family law when he went back!

Seeing that the leader was angry, although his subordinates were afraid to death, he still had the courage to beckon his hand and walked towards the town three times in the next step, after all, there was still a chance to escape back with his life when he went in, and if he didn't go, he would have to be in a different place now.

Watching them walk towards the town, the leader was not idle, held his chin and thought for a while, and immediately arranged for men to start an ambush on both sides of the road. If there are really officers and soldiers in the town to set up an ambush, the people they send in will definitely be able to lure them out, and then a counter-ambush will be used to wipe them out, and then they will enter the town to burn, kill, loot and indulge to their heart's content, and strive to attract the officers and soldiers of Chang Guowei's brigade.

However, a team went to check the situation, and the men with the bait were slow to go down, but they came back very quickly. "Good news, Chief, there's no one in town!" The leader who was commanding the team to set up an ambush was stunned for a moment, and turned around and wondered: "No one, do you mean that the official army did not set up an ambush in the town?" "Chief, not to mention the officials and soldiers, there are not even ordinary people in the town!" The subordinates said with joy on their faces, although there are no people, but there are a lot of good things, if they all move back to the island, they won't have to run around for a long time.

"What, there aren't even a few people in the town?" The leader was dumbfounded, and instead of a look of joy, his face was a little surprised. Before leaving, Master An Sheng repeatedly told himself that no matter what, he had to make the momentum bigger, and he must attract the main champion in Changguo County, and now there is no one in the town, how can he complete the task. If the task is not completed, the evil monk will definitely surpass himself!

Frowning and turning around a few times, the leader gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, go into the town and set fire!" As soon as the people around him heard this order, they immediately howled, and this is what they like to do the most.

It didn't take long for the entire Magang Town to become a sea of fire, and the flames soared into the sky, and Changguo County, thirty miles away, could be seen in the distance.

Chen Xiao, who was patrolling around, happened to spend the night in Changguo County, and as soon as he heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately climbed to the top of the city with people. Holding clairvoyance in his hand for a while, the corners of his mouth immediately showed a smile, just this evening, the last group of residents of Magang Town entered the county seat, although the fire was big, but only some property was lost.

"Lord Ma, Lord Shen's move is really good, if it weren't for his arrangement, the two thousand people in Magang Town would have suffered a great disaster tonight." The commander of Chang Guowei, who had just gone to the city, looked at the fire in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, then tomorrow I will work harder, and strive to gather all the people in your defense area to a few county towns in the evening." When everything is done, the people will have fewer calamities, and you and I will be able to pay the difference as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, please rest assured, Master Ma, tomorrow evening, I will finish all the errands." The commander assured with a smile.

Five miles east of Changguo County, Monk An Sheng and Fuyun Lao Dao lurked in the dense forest with more than 1,000 Japanese robbers, anxiously waiting for the news of the spies ahead, just waiting for the brigade of Changguo County to rescue Magang Town and start attacking the city. The city should have been arranged, and then they will be responsible for opening the city gates, as long as they enter the city, they can give the officers and soldiers a dismount, and then indulge in looting, and the morale will definitely be howling!

"Monk, this fire has been burning for almost half an hour, why is there still no movement in the city?" Fuyun Lao Dao climbed down from a big tree and said with some confusion.

Monk Ansheng was also anxious in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Don't worry, they have to use some effort to straighten out the soldiers and horses, at most half an hour, and they will definitely go out of the city to rescue." ”

"Wait another half an hour? It's going to be getting dark, so there's no problem, right? Fuyun Lao Dao said with some worries, as soon as the sky is bright, it is not easy to hide his own whereabouts, and once the garrison in the city is prepared, it is also a big problem for Neiying to get close to the city gate.

Monk Ansheng also sighed, he was not worried about this, but now he can only wait, and keeps repeating: "Wait, wait." ”

Daishan Island, Zheng Shanchuan, who was holding the latest information in his hand, sat motionless with a sad face, this information was a step late, if it was earlier, An Sheng and Fuyun would not have to run this trip in vain.

Encountering Shen Chongming's turtle-like trick of shrinking his head, Zheng Shanchuan really had a feeling that he had nowhere to start. Originally, according to their latest analysis, now that the officers and troops from all over the country have returned to their stations, the strength of the officers and troops in Ningbo must be stretched. Although the big plan cannot be carried out, the small plan can still be carried out, that is, to first take the Ningbo Mansion and turn it upside down, and then transfer the offensive location in turn, so that the officers and troops cannot be guarded.

However, now Shen Chongming suddenly ordered all the residents of the 30 miles along the coast to withdraw to the county town for key defense, so that the problem of insufficient troops in various places could be greatly alleviated. At that time, if you rely on the benefits of the city, your own men and horses will definitely not be able to advance an inch, and it will be difficult to realize your plan to mobilize the officers and troops who are exhausted.

"Well, what should I do?" Zheng Shanchuan frowned and asked himself, if he can't think of a good way, wait for Shen Chongming's arrangements in various places to be all in place, and then he will be passive.

Let's go back and talk about Ansheng monks all the way. This is an hour, but the officials and soldiers in Changguo County still have not moved at all. Seeing that the sky is gray and hazy, if you really don't retreat, wait for the sky to brighten, your own whereabouts will be exposed, once the official army finds out and chases out of the city, with 2,000 men and horses in the city, whether your own manpower can deal with it is really two words.

"Monk, according to the poor road, this matter is in vain, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is too late." Fuyun Lao Dao said helplessly.

"Ugh." Monk Ansheng sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" With that, the beckoning people hurried towards the seashore, where were the four big ships of the red-haired ghosts waiting.

Seeing the large group of men and horses who had gone to attack Changguo County returning with a small boat in their hands, the translator got Si Aomu's order and ran up as soon as they got on the boat and asked, "Master, how much porcelain did you bring back this time?" ”

After waiting all night in vain, Monk Ansheng was in a bad mood. This time the Dharma Protector attaches great importance to it, and he didn't do it well, so he didn't know how to explain it to him. And these red-haired ghosts know about some broken porcelain all day long, and they feel annoyed when they listen to it. I saw Monk Ansheng's eyes glaring, "Get out, there's no fart!" ”

I was scolded inexplicably, and the translator was also annoyed in his heart, everyone is a cooperative relationship, why can't I ask about this! But in the face of this group of fierce gods, even though he was very angry in his heart, the translator did not burst out, snorted angrily, and turned his head to report the situation to Si Ao Mu. The other party broke his promise, this porcelain is not going to be given to us!

It's so hard to sail day and night, Si Ao Mu is for so many pieces of porcelain, although he has gained a lot these days, he can't even load half of the ship, and now the other party has forgotten the previous contract, which is really too much of a bastard. At the sound of an order, dozens of red-haired ghost sailors on the ship followed Si Aomu to find Monk Ansheng with firearms.

Monk Ansheng was hiding in his cabin and gulping down the cold horse meat, each bite was exhausting all his strength, if he didn't do this, the anger in his heart could not be vented at all.

At that moment, the hatch was kicked open, and several black muzzles came in. Monk Ansheng was startled, flipped the table in front of him with one hand and hid it behind. "Someone!" A loud shout mixed with a bit of fear sounded, and Monk Ansheng thought that these red-haired ghosts were going to rebel. Tomorrow a shift
