CHAPTER XXVIII

Before the ugly hour had passed, a layer of mist rose on the surface of the sea, but for a moment the moonlight was obscured, and the distance from the pier was less than a hundred paces. The sound of the waves of the tide spread far away in the night, and an experienced soldier in a gray-white cloak lay down in a hidden place in a corner of the pier, listening intently with his ears propped up.

The soldiers of the Meng family and the family members who did the logistics supply were divided into three parts, one part was on duty at the dock at night to prepare for a sneak attack, and the other part was resting at the house at the entrance of the village to prepare for war, which could be replenished to the first front line at any time. The rest of the people went back to their homes, rested enough to maintain their physical fitness, and did not go to war without notice.

In the first echelon of the dock were sixteen strong archers at the head, and more than forty ordinary archers were scattered in four small buildings, facing the pier in a fan-shape. Zhao Tianyou's plan was to kill and injure as many of the opponent's living forces as possible in the first wave of contact, and almost all the people in the village who could shoot bows and fight were gathered together.

Why is it arranged? This is Zhao Tianyou's strong personal sixth sense, and every time he is about to fight, there is a strong signal that prompts him to think calmly and calmly. Judging from Meng Lu's words before he died, as well as what Meng Sihu said, this early morning is indeed the best time to raid the Meng family's fishing village.

As long as Meng Lu kills or controls all the prestige people in the village, whether he puts the blame on Zhao Tianyou or the four unlucky devils of the Wa Kingdom, the leaderless soldiers of the village will definitely be under his control. At that time, Meng Lu only needs to send people to wait at the wharf, welcome the people sent by the Jiang Mansion to station, and it only takes a short time to consolidate, and the Meng family fishing village can completely change the sky, and it may be changed to the Jiang family wharf in the future.

"Goo!" The soldiers lurking on the dock turned their heads and shouted twice, and the observation posts in each house immediately woke up the soldiers resting in the room.

"It's coming, it's coming! It's a ship at sea! In a whispered call, the energetic soldiers took their positions, each with a sharp arrow in their hands, and waited for the signal to attack, and shot the attacking enemy down in front of the dock.

Two, four, six, and a row of six three-masted and eight-pulped clippers emerged from the fog and slowly stopped a few dozen paces from the pier. The six boats lined up and waited silently, the skeletal flags on the masts fluttering silently in the wind, and they were also observing the scene on the dock.

The soldiers of the village used bird language to pass the news back one after another, although it was only a hundred and ten steps away, Zhao Tianyou still couldn't see it in his sight, it was still a vast area. But everyone knows that there are countless people with knives and guns on the ship in the white mist, and they have only one purpose here, to kill all the people here and then occupy the dock of Mengjia Yuzhai.

The people of the entire fishing village now have only one way to live, and there is no way to retreat, as long as they retreat, it will be the end of the dead clan and the destruction of the village. Only kill the enemy and throw it into the sea to feed the sharks, no matter where they come from, no matter how many of them there are, they all have to die! In that way, the Mengjia fishing village will have a way to live.

One after another, ships emerged from the fog, and five medium-sized warships surrounded their flagship, the Water Ghost with the skull pirate flag of Zhang's two wides. This is a three-story ship with more than a dozen feet long, dozens of crossbowmen lined up under the banner of skulls, and each ship is full of pirates, all with swords out of the box, swords out of the sheath, and axes shining brightly.

On the bow of the third floor stood a bearded man in a black cloak, and behind him were three tall girls in strong suits, one holding a bow and one holding a quiver, and the other holding a Guan Gong broadsword.

"Island owner, the Meng family's fishing village has arrived, and the landing is their wharf."

The vice-island lord Qiu Baisheng was also dressed in black robes, standing on top of another warship, while the pirates on his ship were all in close combat with leather shields and red tasseled machetes on their backs. This time he came to attack the Meng family's fishing village at night, Han Liutao led the crowd out, and the pirates of nearly 500 people on these twelve boats were also all the strength of his Dongshan Island.

In the past, when I went to sea to work, it was usually two large ships leading a few clippers, flanking and besieging the passing merchant ships, basically one or two hundred pirates were enough to dispatch each time. This time, Han Liutao led the crowd out of the nest, with only one purpose, to show the strength of Dongshan Island to the Jiang family, from the people and horses to the equipment, from the combat ability is not much worse than that under the Black Tiger.

The water ghost Han Liutao has endured for a few years and secretly improved his strength, this small fishing village with less than 1,000 people, it is embarrassing to win slowly, but the momentum must be enough to make the scene bigger. Having said that, then aren't you afraid of being arrested by the state officials and the water army of the Terracotta Division, and this is what Han Liutao is most dissatisfied with. As long as it is said that the fight against pirates will inevitably have to fight two tough battles on the two islands of Dongshan, Shanxi and Shanshan, and the loss of several ships and hundreds of brothers.

And the flagship of the Black Tiger on the main island is like a transparent ship, the navy of the state capital turns a blind eye, and if you get closer, you may be able to say hello, and the difference in treatment of pirates is so big! This time, based on what Wei Yue said about 10,000 taels of silver, Han Liutao didn't care too much, there were merchant ships at sea, and there were two more hard trips, and he looked at the Jiang Mansion behind Wei October.

The Jiang family's spice business is even valued by Master Pu, the eldest son of the Jiang Mansion is the master of Wei October, this is obviously the Jiang Mansion needs to stand on this pier, if you take the opportunity to cooperate with the Jiang Mansion, will the treatment of Dongshan Island also be improved?

"Kill the old brother as the vanguard, bring two hundred swords and shields to the shore, and the crossbowmen are in the back! Kill me! ”

"Roar, roar, roar." The pirates on the twelve ships shouted at the same time, the pirates on each ship boiled, the wooden oars flipped and the ships quickly docked, and the sword and shield men led by Qiu Baiji scrambled to the dock.

All these scenes have fallen on Zhao Tianyou's eyes, and he secretly admires them in his heart, although this group of pirates, but the order is forbidden to move like a mountain, there must be masters in the team to participate in the training, which is a few points stronger than these soldiers in the Mengjia fishing village.

When the pirate team that came ashore was assembled, Zhao Tianyou shook his head when he saw it, these two hundred people were holding a small leather shield, although it was not big, but it could protect the chest and abdomen. The sixteen longbowmen had no problem, and they could definitely penetrate such leather armor within fifty paces, but the rest of them were holding hunting bows and shooting bamboo arrows, and the threat to these sword and shield bearers was too small.

The soldiers in front of him who were listening to the sound had already withdrawn, came to Zhao Tianyou's side, and whispered excitedly: "Sect Leader Zhao, I saw their leader, it was a bearded man standing on that big boat, and there were three little ladies behind him!" ”

"You kid, just take care of the little girl, for the sake of your merit in reconnoitring the enemy, if you catch the little girl, I will give you a wife!"

"Oops! Thank you Zhao Jiaotou, you have to talk about it! ”

"Get out, go and give the order, the longbowmen will gather here, and the others will retreat to the entrance of the fishing village."
