Just east of Binh Duong, near the coast, there is a mountainous area called Pak San, and there is a large beach north of Pak San.

On this morning, just after midnight, and not long after the sun appeared on the sea, the mist on the sea north of Beishan suddenly rolled, and five huge sailing ships burst out of the mist.

Seeing the beach in the distance, the people on the deck suddenly cheered, and then the sails began to descend, and the five large ships lowered two landing boats at the same time, and as soon as the small boats fell to the surface, the people on the deck scrambled to glide along the ropes to the small boats, and in a short time, the small boats were full of people.

In a burst of curses, the people who slipped down behind were kicked into the sea, and the ropes began to retract, while the people in the small boat drew their oars and rowed hard towards the shore.

The people who were kicked into the sea were not annoyed, and as soon as the boat moved, they swam over, climbed the side of the boat, and followed the boat to the beach in front of them.

Obviously, these people must be pirates, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will not go to the fishing port and small wharf, specifically looking for beach landing, only pirates, they like to pick the beach to land, because the port is generally full of people, and they will run away when they see suspicious ships, and when they go ashore, everyone runs away, and they rob a fart!

The pirates had long been accustomed to landing on the beach, and as soon as the boat approached the beach, the pirates on the boat jumped into waist-deep water and ran excitedly to the beach, leaving only a few unlucky ghosts, who reluctantly rowed the boat back to continue to pick up people.

There is naturally a reason why they are so scrambling, because the one who goes ashore first can come out on top, whether it is a flower girl or property, they can pick the best to grab.

These small groups of pirates had no discipline at all, and after the first pirates came ashore, they didn't wait for the people behind them, and ran directly in the direction of the small village closest to the beach, which was almost like taking an aphrodisiac.

However, when they excitedly rushed into the village closest to the coast, they were instantly dumbfounded.

There was not a single figure in the village, there was no panicked scream of the flower girl, and there were no chickens and dogs jumping, the whole village was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

Is it hiding?

I don't know who it was, but with a shout, all the pirates immediately scattered and rushed into the courtyards of the surrounding farmers.

No, nothing.

There are no flower girls;

No belongings;

There is no food;

There are no chickens;

There are no dogs;

There are no cattle;

Not even clothes and quilts.

It was as if all the peasant homes had been ransacked, and there was almost nothing of value!

Of course, big guys like beds, pots, wardrobes, and water tanks are all there, the question is, who is going to grab these things?

The first pirates rummaged through the village for a while, and the second group followed suit, with the leader of the pirates in armor among them.

The pirate leader originally thought that the villagers would be caught off guard by the raid on the shore so early, and the two hundred or so people in the advanced village should have already grabbed a lot of good things.

He was waiting for someone to come up to pay respects, but a few small leaders who led the team came forward to report with empty hands and dejected heads, but they didn't grab anything!

The pirate leader angrily raised his foot and kicked several small leaders to the ground, and shouted, "Baga, look for them separately." ”

When several small leaders heard this, they quickly got up from the ground and ran around the village with their men.

Actually, he was right, if the villagers didn't know that there were pirates coming, they would definitely be caught by surprise.

However, the villagers have long known that there are pirates coming, so they will not be unguarded, food or something, the villagers have already hidden, and there have long been people on the beach who have been on guard, and they have not yet gone ashore to be discovered by the vigilant villagers, and the villagers have already fled in the direction of the county with their belongings, and it is strange that he can grab something.

However, hundreds of people, plus chickens, dogs, cows, etc., the traces could not be concealed, and soon, a small leader ran back, pointing in the direction of the western county town and shouting excitedly.

When the pirate leader heard this, he waved his hand, pointed to the west and shouted, "Chase Simas the thief." ”

When the pirates heard this, they immediately rushed to the west.

At this time, Pingyang County Ya, Zhang Bin was studying bird guns in the small courtyard of the State Guest House.

In the eyes of he, a later generation of mechanical experts, this thing was really a bit too backward.

The barrel of this gun is actually made of thin iron sheets, first of all, not to mention that the inner round hole is not standard, this welding is not very reliable at first glance, and the two sides are not fused together, just like sticking together, no wonder this thing is easy to explode.

Such a thin iron sheet, after a few shots, it will definitely be deformed, as soon as the barrel is deformed, the internal round hole is not round, and the bullet is likely to be stuck in the inside, and at that time, with a "snap", the back of the barrel will explode, and if the soldier who shoots is not careful, I am afraid that his eyes will be blind.

Just as he was thinking about how to use the existing conditions to improve the bird's gun, Sun Biao hurriedly ran in and said, "Lord Qiqi County, a villager has come to report that the pirates are coming. ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he hurriedly returned the bird gun to the musketeer on the side, urging: "Quick, bring him in." ”

Sun Biao hurriedly said yes and ran out quickly.

In a few moments, he hurried in with a sturdy young man.

As soon as the young man saw Zhang Bin, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Lord County Commander, pirates, pirates are here, please go and save the villagers in the village." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Bin hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and asked anxiously: "Are you there, when did the pirates come ashore, how many are there, and where are the villagers now?" ”

The young man gasped and said, "I am from Beishan Village in the east, and the pirates have come ashore about a quarter of a minute, and there are five big boats in total, all of which are full of people, and the villagers are running to the county seat according to the orders of the county commander, and they don't know where they have gone." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he immediately analyzed it quickly in his mind.

Beishan Village is about 20 miles away from the county seat, and it takes about half an hour for normal people to run over, and it takes about an hour for villagers to drag their families and bring their mouths over.

The pirates probably went ashore at a moment's notice, and after they went ashore, they would definitely enter Beishan Village to loot, and then chase them out after finding something wrong, at least two quarters of an hour in the middle, and the pirates needed to confirm the direction of the villagers' escape, or a bunch of people ran forward together, it is estimated that it should be a little slower than normal people, and it will take about six quarters of an hour to run to the county seat.

It was about five o'clock in the morning, and the young man must have come to report the pirate, and the villagers must have followed him.

In other words, the villagers are still about ten miles away from the county seat, and the pirates are about fourteen miles away from the county seat.

If the pirates chase these villagers, it will be really dangerous, and they must be rescued immediately!
