Chapter XVII: The Situation is Crisis

As soon as Li Ling rescued the women who were hiding in the cabin, a small group of would-be robbers returned.

"Hero, you must save us!" The women were freed, and before they could rejoice for a while, they saw the returning widows, and they were frightened and pleaded incessantly.

"Wait for me to be quiet!". Yang Ying was frightened and calmed the scene, she hurriedly pulled out a few arrows from her back, aimed them at the Japanese Kou Gate and shot them.

Three of the first ones immediately fell, and the others scattered and fled, shouting loudly and incomprehensibly. Mindfully and dexterously took out their bows and arrows to fight back, they already knew the truth of the matter, the warship had been hijacked.

The women suddenly became at a loss, and Li Ling took the opportunity to drive them back into the cabin.

The dozen or so would-be robbers below wanted to board the ship but were afraid of Yang Ying's bow and arrows, so they could only pin their hopes on a few people with bows and arrows in their hands. The two sides shot indiscriminately, and instead of causing any damage to Li Ling and the others, the Japanese robbers kept falling to the ground.

Li Ling and Yang Ying were like gods descending from heaven, standing majestically on the deck, discouraged those would-be robbers.

The place in the cabin was too cramped, and the women were suffocating and panicking inside, and some of them had the courage to quietly walk out, go to the deck to breathe fresh air, and look at Li Ling, a white-faced scholar, without blinking.

Some people even know his identity, the young master of the Li family's salt farm, the showman who just ordered this year, exposed the tricks of the big shopkeeper of the salt shop as soon as he made a move, and made a big splash in the county government.

A charming-looking young woman walked straight up to his side and stretched out her little white hand to help him.

"This little brother really wants to thank you this time, otherwise my sister is afraid that she will be robbed by these widows"

Li Ling ignored the fact that this beautiful woman threw flattering eyes at him many times, and directly avoided it. smiled at Yang Ying quite awkwardly.

The woman just wanted to launch a further offensive against Li Ling, but she heard the sound of several long arrows breaking through the air in her ears, and she was so frightened that she quickly hid back in the cabin!

There are more Japanese robbers who have turned around, and this time there are still about a dozen, plus the last time, it is already half of the number.

Yang Ying suddenly fell into passivity, and several feather arrows attacked her place at any time. She bowed her head and fell on her armor and ducked.

Li Ling was still standing at the door of the cabin, holding a sword in one hand and desperately flicking feather arrows, and behind him were the women who fled in a hurry.

Where have these pampered vases ever seen in such a battle? After hurriedly hiding in the cabin, the door was blocked, and it was better to die than to live, even if the Japanese slaves were caught, it was better to die here on the spot.

"Get down!". Yang Ying shouted desperately.

Li Ling fell into a desperate situation, the Han beads on his face fell in large drops, as long as he gave up resistance, feather arrows would shoot through his body.

Yang Ying gritted her teeth, stood up from the deck violently, abandoned her bow and arrows, picked up her sword, and temporarily blocked the feather arrows in front of Li Ling. She wants to buy time for Li Ling, and she will never allow her man to fall in front of her, she regards him as her hope and future.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ling fell on the deck, but the next moment he regretted it.

A feathered arrow grew larger and larger in his pupils, and finally shot into Yang Ying's arm, and her shoulder sank and the big knife landed on the deck.

As the two of them worked in a hurry, the pirates slowly moved towards the sailboat, and they had reached the helm, and they could board the ship at any moment. The pirates stopped shooting and rushed in frenzy. More and more reached the vicinity of the sailboat.

There were fewer and fewer arrows shooting on the deck, and Yang Ying's face turned white with a brush, and when the would-be robbers got on the boat, they would all die.

She got up from the deck and staggered to the helm, knife in her left hand, drops of blood running down her right fingers.

"You go back to the cabin first, you're injured, and you can't use the strength in your arm!" Li Ling didn't care about the danger, he quickly ran to Yang Ying's side, trying to stop her.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I won't allow these robbers to hurt you!" Yang Ying smiled miserably, and swung her knife to slash at the two widows who came up along the ladder.

The widow fell in response, and she also took a few steps back, and her face turned even paler.

Li Ling suddenly felt a heartache in his heart, he quickly found the longbow on the deck, and couldn't wait to pull it up, the bow didn't move, but he felt that his hand was a little painful from the bowstring.

Seeing that their companions were being slashed and killed, the Japanese invaders were furious and rushed to step on the ladder, Yang Ying waved his knife, injuring one person, and the other Japanese were even more crazy.

Li Ling's fist clenched again, it was really unpleasant to rely on a woman to survive, he raised the bow again, and he didn't feel the pain.

A feathered arrow shot out, and rushed towards the Wako with the sound of the wind.

An arrow was planted in the shoulder of the leader of the pirates who were watching the battle from afar. The other nearby pirates habitually fell to the ground, which they had come to after many battles with the Ming army, so as to minimize the probability of being hit.

Yang Ying was a little surprised, it was a three-stone hard bow! His posture of holding his bow and shooting the enemy is very handsome!

In the distance, more than a dozen Japanese came over, and they were a little startled before they entered the battle, they couldn't imagine that these Ming people, who were usually sheep-like, would dare to take the initiative to attack them.

This is miserable, she has to face at least three widows every moment, and gradually he is a little struggling, and the speed of parrying gradually slows down,

Li Ling quietly came to her and drew a long arrow and shot it.

The two unconsciously leaned on each other, if they died, they would die together!

Yang Ying's eyes were red, tears fell like rain, she couldn't protect her fiancé. But in his heart is sweet, he always stands with himself.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence around him, and when Li Ling was about to close his eyes weakly, he saw a large group of men and horses rushing over, and the leader was holding a battle flag high, on which was written a big "Ming" character!

"It's our people!".

"It's the brocade guard sent by Daddy!".

The two of them shouted indiscriminately as they dealt with the Japanese Kou, neither of them could hear what they were shouting clearly, but at this moment, they looked at each other and smiled, and aimed their weapons at the enemy in front of them.

There were about a few dozen people coming, all tall horses, armed with long knives and longbows behind their backs.

They didn't stop at all, and even the men and horses crashed directly into the Japanese Kou.

The Japanese slaves have been on the ship for a long time, where have they seen such a formation, and before they can react, they have been taken to the top of the neck, even if a few clever people want to resist, they are also trampled under the feet of these war horses.

The Japanese who besieged Li Ling and the others became restless and rushed desperately towards the ship, trying to take them hostage to keep them safe.

Yang Ying waved the big knife in her hand vigorously, and her face became even more ugly!

"Miss, uncle, if you hold on a little longer, we'll come here!". The leaders of several brocade guards hurriedly jumped off their horses and suddenly attacked the Japanese on the ladder.

The crisis was finally over, and the situation was quickly brought under control. The brocade guards surrounded the Japanese and used the power of their horses to continuously attack the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese had always dealt with unarmed civilians and terrified local garrisons, and such wolves had never been seen before, and they were defeated in less than a quarter of an hour.

Yang Ying smiled like a flower, and explained to Li Ling: "These are not ordinary brocade guards, they are all my uncle's guards, this time they were temporarily loaned to my father as guards, I thought they would be used to deter local governments, but I didn't expect them to come in handy here!" ”。

Uncle Yang asked for a lot of military rations this time, and officials from all over the country only sent battles that would not buy the border army. These tiger and wolf divisions are here to cheer.

As the battle drew to a close, and it was dusty again in the distance, the leader rode a tall horse and came with hundreds of troops.

"I am Liu Pengju, the general manager of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese invaders surrender immediately, otherwise they will be killed!"

Hundreds of people rushed up and dealt with a dozen or so Japanese guards together, and the victory was already in hand.

Seeing that Yang Ying was out of danger, her eyes were dark, and she fainted, she lost too much blood.

"Miss!".

The leader of the Jinyi Guard hurriedly cleared the last widow who was still on the ladder and walked over, this is the only daughter of the Yang family's two rooms, if there is an accident, they will not have the face to go back to Datong again.

"Yang Ying!". Li Ling took the lead in helping her up, carried her off the boat, snatched the horse from a brocade guard, and took Yang Ying back to the Li family's salt farm.

"I've handed over the ship's stuff to you, the fine salt is enough for the task, so you can bring it back!"

There are a lot of things on the ship, but Li Ling is not interested in this, what he wants to do most now is to heal Yang Ying's injury.
