Chapter 271: If you are unwilling, you have to endure it

It was already completely dark, and the British barracks were almost dark except for some necessary lights.

Several of the sentries on top of the tower also yawned boredly against the railing, their necks curled, and muttered something in their mouths.

A patrol walked by lazily, and the soldiers' eyes were a little lazy, and it was so dark that they couldn't see anything.

"What does it smell like?" A soldier suddenly sniffled and whispered.

No one paid any attention to him, and after he smelled it again, the smell disappeared again, so he shook his head and continued with the group.

At this time, outside the barracks, Yao Dahai and his people had quietly poured tung oil on all the wooden walls of the British army, and what the soldier smelled just now was the smell of tung oil.

It's just because of the direction of the wind that the smell is fleeting.

"Boss Yao, the brothers are ready." Under the hillside outside the camp, a figure quickly ran to Yao Dahai's body and whispered.

"Okay, after the fire burns in a while, you take the archer team and shoot rockets inside. Song Liu, you lead people to block the camp gate, and kill someone when you see someone running out, don't let go of a British. Wang Mazi, you take people around to the back of the mountain to prevent the British from escaping from behind. ”

Yao Dahai looked at a few people around him and commanded in a low voice.

A few people nodded in agreement.

"You must not let go of an Englishman this time, otherwise it will not be considered revenge for Boss Pi." Yao Dahai gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Brothers, when we avenge Boss Pi, we can't stay here anymore. Zheng Zhilong has always been at odds with Boss Pi, and he definitely can't tolerate us. We can go back to the sea to make a living. Zheng Zhilong doesn't seem to be able to survive this time, and then the sea will be our world. Yao Dahai looked at everyone and said.

Everyone was excited, they were pirates in the first place, and they were naturally used to life at sea. Now that Pi San is dead, there is no reason for them to continue to work under Zheng Zhilong.

Everyone got an errand, and each of them quietly went away with someone.

A little light "whoosh" streaked across the dark night sky and landed on the wall of the British camp, which was a rocket.

The wooden fence sprinkled with tung oil burned rapidly, and then spread rapidly along the wall, and in less than a quarter of an hour the entire barracks wall was burning violently.

Flames lit up half of the sky, and some of the wood was already burning with a crackling sound.

The fire soon alarmed the patrolling British soldiers, who shouted and ran wildly, some trying to find water to put out the fire, others trying to wake up the soldiers who had slept soundly because they had drunk.

The British camp was built on the mountain, and many figures appeared in the woods behind the camp at this time, everyone approached the barracks with rockets in their hands, and hundreds of rockets flew into the barracks one after another, landing on those tents and houses, and soon caused more flames.

The entire barracks instantly fell into chaos, although the 20,000 British troops looked many, but they were also scattered in different camps, some people woke up and shouted, some people were still sleepy and hazy, and some people still shouted that they couldn't wake up.

Rockets continued to shoot into the camp, and the fire points everywhere made the situation even more chaotic.

In the face of the fire, the sophisticated firearms of the British were of no use.

Some soldiers tried to extinguish the fire with basins and buckets, but they were a drop in the bucket in the face of the fire, which had already burned into a sea of fire, and it was meaningless.

Finally, some soldiers realized the danger and rushed towards the gate of the camp, and many of them had their rifles gone.

At this point, it's all about running for your life.

But before the soldiers could rush out of the gate, they were shot by arrows that suddenly flew out of the darkness, and they fell to the ground.

In the light of the fire, these British soldiers were like the sun in the dark night, and they were not too visible.

In addition to bows and arrows, Yao Dahai and the others also prepared a variety of weapons that could be projected, and all kinds of poisonous smoke, stones and other objects fell into the rushing British army.

There were more and more corpses at the gate of the camp, and they all slowly formed a wall.

The follow-up British troops did not dare to rush out anymore, and some people began to shoot outside, but they were in the open, and the enemy was in the dark, and it was up to luck to shoot or not.

Smith finally woke up at this point, and was woken up by Orderly Steven.

Seeing the camp turn into a sea of fire, he had no idea what was going on, but he knew it would be too late if he didn't run away.

But when he rushed out with his pistol, he saw that the soldiers who kept rushing outside the camp gate had retreated, and he finally realized that he had been scolded.

Who could do such a thing? The first thing he thought of was Zheng Zhilong.

"Damn Zheng Zhilong, I'm going to kill you! Rush to me, concentrate your forces and rush out of the door, those cowards are not our opponents at all. Smith shouted frantically with his pistol.

With Smith's organization, the British soldiers finally began to storm the gate in an organized manner.

Although one side is in the light and the other side is in the dark, under the intensive shooting of the British, Yao Dahai and his people also began to suffer casualties.

And the casualties are growing rapidly.

"Brothers, hold on, don't let the British rush out, we'll be doomed when they come out." Yao Dahai roared wildly with a big knife.

They were able to trap the British now by the fire of the camp. Once the British escaped, these pirates, who only had cold weapons in their hands, were no match for the British.

Although Yao Dahai's men desperately tried to stop the British from rushing out, under the intensive fire of the British, their casualties continued to expand, and the British firepower became stronger and stronger.

Many people around Yao Dahai died, and even he himself was almost hit by a bullet.

Seeing that the enemy outside the camp gate was gradually losing their strength to fight back, the British let out a burst of cheers and rushed out at an accelerated speed.

If it weren't for the layers of corpses under their feet, these British soldiers would have rushed out of the camp by now.

"Boss Yao, I can't stand it over there, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and there are less than half of them." Song Liu, who was in charge of blocking the door, ran over and shouted loudly.

"I can't stand it here, and the arrows are about to run out." A man on the other side also shouted.

"Damn, what about Zheng Zhilong's people? Okay, let's fight the vanguard, he supports in the back, what about the people? What about people? Yao Dahai was so angry that he yelled.

"Boss Yao, I think we were tricked by Zheng Zhilong, and he used us as guns." Song Liuda shouted.

"Lao Tzu and Zheng Zhilong are not finished! Brothers, withdraw! We can't all die here, the British have died enough today, and it can be regarded as revenge for Boss Pi. Yao Dahai was so angry that he scolded, then turned around and ran down the mountain.

Others followed.

Although they can't stop the British, they can still escape for their lives, after all, they are familiar with the way here, and there are people to answer them.

A group of survivors rushed down the mountain, and when they were about to run to the bottom of the mountain, they saw a group of men and horses blocking the way.

The other party was holding a torch, and Yao Dahai could see clearly by the firelight, and the first person was Zheng Sen.

"Boss Yao, where are you going?" Zheng Sen changed into a drape, wearing armor all over his body, wearing a golden helmet on his head, and wanted to hang his sword, and returned to his former appearance as a major general.

"Zheng Sen, your father and son said that we will play the striker, and you will support later, why did you delay in going, and my brothers suffered heavy casualties, what do you say you mean? Do you want to borrow a knife to kill people and kill all our brothers? As soon as Yao Dahai saw Zheng Sen, he raised his knife and pointed at Zheng Sen and asked sharply.

"Boss Yao, don't be angry. We arrived late, but not too late. Boss Yao, you have worked hard, the rest will be left to us, you can take a good rest. I will definitely help you to avenge Boss Pi and leave none of the British behind. Zheng Sen smiled slightly and said indifferently.

Yao Dahai was stunned for a moment, looking at Zheng Sen's attitude, could it be that he was thinking too much?

He didn't notice that when Zheng Sen said "don't leave any of them", he was very heavy.

And after Zheng Sen finished speaking, a team of fully armored people flashed out behind him, everyone holding a musket like the one in the hands of the British, and the muzzle of the gun was facing Yao Dahai and them.

"Put!" Zheng Sen waved his hand and said coldly.

"Bang bang bang!" Dense gunshots rang out suddenly, and Yao Dahai bore the brunt of it, with five or six bullets in the chest, bleeding profusely, and dying on the spot, but there was still an incredible look in his eyes.

Those who escaped with Yao Dahai were also shot and fell to the ground.

In this sudden killing, they had no resistance, and they died without leaving a single residue.

There was no need for Zheng Sen's order, since someone stepped forward to check it, and the one who was not dead was given a knife by the way.

"Major General, they're all dead. The people behind the mountain should have done it by now. A pro-soldier leader approached Zheng Sen and said.

Zheng Sen looked at the corpses of Yao Dahai and others on the ground, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, nodded and said, "It's all guarded, don't let an Englishman rush down the mountain." ”

The leader of the pro-soldiers said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, young general, this time we have got all the cannons." And we have thousands of muskets in our hands. And we also dug the fortifications in advance, thinking that the British would not be able to escape if they were unprepared. Besides, there are tens of thousands of horses gathered under the mountain, all of whom are good hands. ”

Zheng Sen nodded, turned around and walked back.

His mood at the moment is still very complicated.

All of this today was painstakingly calculated by my father in order to protect the Zheng family.

The British are the name of the Zheng family to be handed over to the imperial court, and they are the key to keeping the Zheng family. If you want the court to see the sincerity of the Zheng family, you must simply kill the British.

First use Pi San, who has always been disobedient, to deliberately provoke the British, and let the British kill Pi San. Then he used Pi San's death to anger Pi San's subordinates, and then pretended to avenge Pi San, instigating Yao Dahai and others to burn the British.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong knew that the thousands of people under Pi San could not kill all the British, so they just played the role of cannon fodder.

Now that the mission of cannon fodder is complete, it's time for them to go to their Boss Skin.

The rest of the drama was sung by their Zheng family in person, and the official army was waiting to watch the play in Jianning City.

Thinking that the Zheng family, who had been in the southeast for more than ten years, had ended up like this, Zheng Sen felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart.

But my father was right, the situation was stronger than people, and even if he was unwilling, he could only bow his head and endure it.
