In fact, the battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River began much earlier than in Jinling.

It's a miraculous thing, none of the several pirate leaders who came to help him went to Jinling.

If you think about it, it's not hard to see why these people don't want to swim against the river and enter the river.

First of all, the purpose of these people is not pure, in addition, pirates wander the sea all the year round, and live a life of licking blood with a knife, and they have an unusual sensitivity to danger, and they have always pursued the principle of good fortune and avoiding evil.

Of course, Wang Wenyan knew the purpose of these people, but now he has a request for others, and before he achieves his goal, he can only let these people do whatever they want.

There is no doubt about the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and when they arrived at the coast of the Ming Dynasty and did not encounter the Ming fleet, the eyes of these people began to glow with blue light, and they even couldn't wait.

Because it was getting late, in order to avoid getting lost, these pirates were not as anxious as Wang Wenyan, but did not send people off the ship until dawn.

The lifting of the sea ban, coupled with the strength of the Ming Navy, has appeared many villages along the coast, although these villages cannot be compared with inland cities, but for these pirates like Hanako, they can be regarded as fragrant fat.

Lu Chun is responsible for the ambush on land, although he has been in the army for decades, but he has not really been in contact with pirates and pirates, and the looting of the southeast coast by the pirates is still only a legend, so when he really encountered pirates, he immediately panicked.

Before the pirates could enter the village, Lu Chun gave an order, and then ambushed the troops in all directions, and immediately surrounded the group of more than 100 pirates who came to explore the way.

Although the pirates were surrounded, they were dying, and their ferocious nature was also aroused, and the weapons in their hands were on par with the officers and soldiers who were several times the same.

It must be said that these new armies have been trained by the Liaodong Army, otherwise I am afraid that they would have collapsed.

There are still more than a dozen officers from the Liaodong Army in the army, and according to the normal way of fighting, even if you want to attack this group of pirates, you have to use the bow and crossbow first, and after killing and wounding a large number of enemies, you will do your best.

But the master of this battle is Lu Chun, this guy has little actual combat experience, and he is too timid, he is a group of tigers and wolves, and he was also scattered by his sheep.

It didn't take long for the pirates to leave behind more than two dozen corpses, and then they broke out of the encirclement and retreated to the sea.

At this time, Lu Chun's stupidity came up again, and when he saw the pirates retreating, he immediately felt that the opportunity to make a great contribution had come, and waved his hand: "Brothers, be sure to wipe out this group of pirates, go back to Lao Tzu and please drink..."

Thousands of officers and soldiers under the command of Lu Chun can let more than 100 pirates break through, which already shows how wasteful he is.

When the soldiers saw that the pirates had fled, the commander gave another order to pursue and kill, and they did not bother to reorganize the ranks, so they immediately pursued and killed them like a swarm.

At this moment, several pirate ships anchored offshore opened fire.

If it weren't for Ye Xun's installation of the artillery transferred from Liaodong on the ship, at this time, the artillery on the Ming warship was really inferior to the artillery of the red-haired ghost, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the tip of the ship.

"Boom, boom..."

Huge shells fell in the Ming army, and immediately ploughed out bloody ditches in the Ming army, and those flowering shells were even more deadly, exploding in the dense places of the Ming army, blowing up the Ming army to the point of flesh and blood.

Seeing this, Lu Chun couldn't help but be frightened, and he didn't want to think about it, so he turned his head and ran.

The sudden artillery fire blew up the Ming army, and when they came to their senses, they immediately followed Lu Chun's example and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, more than a dozen Liaodong officers had their eyes red, when had the Liaodong Army ever been so embarrassed?

Wielding a knife to slash over a few fleeing soldiers, the morale of the army has been dispersed, and the strength of a dozen of them alone cannot control the momentum of the rout.

At this time, the seventy or eighty pirates who had fled to the beach and had already stepped on the sea water saw this, and couldn't help but "Haha! Laughing, he didn't need anyone to command, he turned around and screamed and chased after the Ming army.

The Ming army had broken up, the guns on the pirate ships had also ceased fire, and not only that, but more than a dozen pirate ships had already lowered their boats, and the pirates jumped on the boats one after another, and then rowed towards the shore with all their might.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really too rubbish, they are as powerful as the legend, since this is the case, then what is there to hesitate, wait a while, the good things should be snatched away by others.

At this time, except for more than a dozen Liaodong officers in the Ming army, the soldiers had already run away.

Before the battle, Lu Chun thought that he had the chance of victory, and he didn't even let his subordinates use firearms, if he could have a few grenades at this moment, the situation would not be so critical.

More than a dozen Liaodong officers glanced at each other, and their firm eyes were enough to show that they would rather die than give in.

"Brothers, Gonggong Ye said that those who die lying on their stomachs with their heads facing back can be regarded as escaping from the battle, and our Liaodong Army has no bad seeds."

"Yes! Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable, anyway, our family is under the control of Ye Gonggong, and it is worth dying in battle."

"Kill!" ...

More than a dozen officers stood like a mountain, stunned to show the momentum of thousands of troops, and the look of seeing death as if they were at home suddenly made the pirates' rushing and killing spirit stagnant.

However, this stagnation was very short-lived, and thousands of officers and soldiers were scared away, what use can these dozen people do? With a strange scream, dozens of pirates rushed to kill them.

What the pirates didn't expect was that there were only a dozen officers, but these people were from Ye Xun's guard battalion, and each of them was a master of ten.

In the blink of an eye, the two groups were fighting together, and in a matter of moments, more than two dozen pirates died under the swords of these officers.

Seeing this, the pirates immediately put away their contempt, and changed from blindly rushing and killing just now to fighting around, the purpose is obvious, the pirates are overwhelming, and even if they are tired, they will exhaust these dozen people to death.

Even if the pirates changed their strategy, fifty or sixty pirates died under the sword, but there were too many pirates, and more than a dozen officers began to fall one after another, and the rest were all hung up.

"Fuck a bunch of rubbish, hit what, shoot arrows!"

One of the pirates, who looked like a leader, finally came to his senses and shouted loudly.

The pirates also came to their senses, and the pirates who rushed to the front retreated, while the pirates behind bent their bows and arrows and shot at the officers in the circle, who were almost exhausted.

"Hum..."

After the sound of the bowstring, I saw that the officers who could barely stand were filled with arrows, but even so, several officers still maintained a posture facing the sea.

Intimidated by the presence of these officers, none of the pirates dared to touch their corpses.

The pirate leader was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "Say that you are waste, but you are really fucking waste, we are not afraid of living, are we still afraid of the dead?" Walk! There is a Han village not far ahead, and it should run out if you go late."

The pirates were given the order to bypass the corpses of a dozen officers and swarm through the villages ahead.

Before the pirates could go far, there was a hurried horn on the pirate ship, and the pirates stopped and looked back in amazement.

It turned out that at some point on the sea, a dense warship suddenly appeared, and it was full of sails, riding the wind and waves...
