The pirates' attempt to storm the gates failed, and dozens of corpses were left behind under the blows of muskets and crossbows from the officers at the head of the city, and fled in disarray. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

was attacked by Huang Fengwu with cavalry, and died under the musket at the head of the city, more than 100 pirates died in the first battle, and the morale dropped a lot at once. The leaders finally realized that Zhoushan City might not be so easy to conquer.

On a hill two miles from the city walls, the pirates set up a large camp, and not far from the camp was the sea, where hundreds of sailing ships were moored.

It is said that it is a big camp, but in fact, it is to cut down the nearby trees and grass to build a circle of wooden walls, the pirates are short of materials, there are no tents at all, except for the Chinese military tent, which is erected with wood and branches, there is no other camp tent. The chieftains could rest in their humble tents, and the common pirates had to lie on the floor, but it was much more comfortable than sleeping on a bumpy ship.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Song Liben convened all the leaders to discuss the matter. After the battle with the official army just now, the leaders looked at Song Liben with a lot of respect, just now it was Song Liben who led his men to withstand the impact of Huang Fengwu's cavalry, which made everyone quiet down and forced back the attacking officers and soldiers.

"Guys, let's talk about what to do next?" Song Liben asked for everyone's opinions.

The leaders began to discuss, each with their own ideas and opinions, Song Liben looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and did not make a sound.

After discussing for a long time, seeing that the discussion could not come to a conclusion, the leader of Lantau Island, Chao Xin, became impatient.

"Master Song, now you are the leader of the group, and we also came to Zhoushan at the invitation of Sijiao Mountain, I don't know what you have in mind?"

Listening to Chao Xin's words, the pirates stopped arguing, quieted down, and looked at Song Liben.

"Everyone!" Song Liben smiled slightly, "Thank you for the lifting of the Chao master, Song is very ashamed, everyone is here to rescue the Gu master and to avenge Sijiao Mountain, I thank you here in advance!" ”

"I think that Zhoushan City is now prepared, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be easily taken in an emergency, and it must be attacked. But siege equipment is needed for siege, and we need to build ladder siege vehicles. ”

"Since it is a siege, it is not a matter of a few days, it may take ten days and a half months, but everyone came in a hurry, and there is not a lot of grain and grass they carry, so they must send people to collect grain."

"Our troops are coming to the city, and the Zhoushan officers and soldiers will definitely send people to ask for help, and Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of the anti-Japanese army, is stationed in Zhenhai, which is more than 100 miles away from Zhoushan. We need to send sentinel ships to reconnoiter the situation of the officers and soldiers in Dinghai and prevent their attacks. ”

Song Liben talked eloquently and arranged military affairs in an orderly manner, which made the leaders admire him.

"What if Wang Zhiren sends troops to the rescue?" Chao Xin asked suddenly.

"Wang Zhiren's subordinates are only five or six thousand people, dozens of boats, if there are fewer people coming, we can go all out to meet them and wipe them out at sea, if there are many people, we have boats, can't we escape if we can't fight?" Song Liben's words made everyone smile.

Yes, many people come to Zhoushan with the idea of making a fortune, although Zhoushan City is strong and not easy to enter, but the entire Zhoushan Island is tens of thousands of people within a radius of 100 miles, if you can grab a sum of money, you can also make a fortune!

At that moment, everyone was gearing up and expressed their support for Song Dangjia. So Song Liben began to arrange military affairs.

Everyone was willing to go to collect grain and drive ships to loot all over Zhoushan, what a pleasant thing it was, and few people were willing to attack the city.

In order to be fair, Song Liben suggested that the pirates on each island should be mixed, whether it was levying grain or attacking a city, and each island should send some people. This suggestion was supported by all.

Soon, dozens of boats were sent out to travel along the coast of Zhoushan, and they had to go to various villages and towns to "collect grain".

More than a dozen fast sentinel ships were also dispatched to Zhenhai to investigate the movements of Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of the anti-Japanese army.

In the camp, hundreds of pirates came out of the camp with axes and machetes, and began to cut down trees in the nearby woods to build siege equipment. The pirates are all from the island, and there are wooden oars and blacksmiths in them, and complex siege equipment cannot be built, but siege equipment such as ladders can still be built.

At the head of Zhoushan City, looking at the well-organized pirate camp, Huang Binqing frowned.

"The pirates seem to be besieging the city for a long time, and this is a problem." Huang Binqing knew that with the strength of the official army in the city, he could not defeat the pirates at all, so he could only ask for help. But the pirates came too quickly, and the navy of Zhoushan had been wiped out, so how could they send messengers for help?

"Daddy, why should you panic, we have a strong city, and they can't attack the city." After the battle just now, Huang Fengwu was full of confidence, "Stay until midnight, and then I will take people out of the city and carry out a night attack!" ”

"Looking at the arrangements of the pirates, there must be people who are familiar with military affairs, and one attack is enough, they will not attack at night." Huang Binqing shook his head and vetoed Huang Fengwu's proposal, all the soldiers in Zhoushan City added up to more than 700 people, and it was not enough to defend the city.

"The first thing we need to do right now is to send people out of the city to ask for help. But now that the navy is gone, what should I do! Huang Binqing sighed again and again.

"Daddy, the pirates are only surrounding the south, and the other three directions are not surrounded, why can't they get out of the city? We can send people out from other directions, look for ships, and ask for help! ”

"But now that the pirates have occupied the bay docks, they must have sent ships to patrol, and it is not easy to break through their blockade?" Huang Binqing sighed.

"Daddy, I'll go!" Seeing that Huang Binqing was so embarrassed, Huang Fengwu volunteered.

"You?" Huang Binqing glanced at her daughter, and had the heart to refuse, and suddenly thought of the relationship between her daughter and the kid surnamed Ren in Daishan, the surname Ren can even break through Gu Rong's lair in Sijiao Mountain, Gu Rong can be captured alive, and it is naturally easy to deal with pirates outside.

"Okay, I'll send Huang Li with you! Be careful! Huang Binqing stared deeply at his daughter and asked.

Huang Li failed to stop Huang Fengwu from following Ren Siqi to suppress the bandits, and after coming back, Huang Binqing was temporarily relieved of his position as the commander, of course, because he made a "great contribution" in defeating Sijiao Mountain and capturing Gu Rong, Huang Binqing did not embarrass him, and the dismissal from the military was only a slight punishment.

After receiving Huang Binqing's order, Huang Li left and rushed to the city, promising Huang Binqing that he would definitely protect the safety of the young lady.

The pirates blocked the avenue leading to the sea over there, and Huang Fengwu took Huang Li and four personal soldiers and six people to leave the city through the west gate.

Zhoushan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, although there is a west gate, but the west is an undulating mountain. After leaving the city gate, the group began to walk among the mountains. The plan was to go around from the west to Cen Harbor, and from Cen Harbor to take a ship to ask for help.

In these years, Zhoushan was basically still a desert island, and the fishermen generally lived along the coast, and few lived in the mountains, unless they were some mountain farmers who collected medicine.

One of the soldiers was a local mountain man who was familiar with the mountain roads in all directions. Under his leadership, the crowd trudged through the mountains with difficulty.

It is less than 20 miles from Zhoushan City to Cen Gang, but it takes half a day to walk on the mountain road. When it was almost dark, the soldier found a medicine picker's shack, where they rested for the night.

There were pots and pans and stoves left by the herb pickers in the shack, and the soldiers boiled a pot of hot water, and everyone ate dry food with hot water and hastily dealt with dinner. Huang Fengwu slept alone in the shack, and the others guarded outside, and after two hours of mountain travel, everyone quickly fell asleep.

When they woke up early the next morning, the group immediately set off and continued to Cen Gang, arriving at Cen Port close to noon.

"Miss, the situation is not good!" A soldier named Ah Bing was sent to Cen Gang to spy on the sentry and came back with a pale face.

"There are a lot of pirates in Cen Harbor, according to fishermen, the pirates came to Cen Harbor by boat yesterday, blocked the entire port, looted on a large scale, and they haven't left yet!"

"Since the pirates have occupied Cen Harbor, let's not go in, go around and see if we can find fishing boats on the beach." Huang Fengwu thought for a moment and said categorically.

The group cautiously bypassed Cen Harbor and continued westward. Cen Gang is a big town in Zhoushan, the number of people is second only to Zhoushan City, ten miles south of Cen Gang is Jintang Mountain, after Jintang Mountain, there are ten miles to Dinghai, the garrison of Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of the anti-Japanese army, I didn't expect the pirates to be so bold, they dared to capture Cen Port!

Rounding the port of Cen and arriving at the northern seashore, the waves crashing against the beach and the sea was empty.

"I'm afraid that the ships in Cen Harbor are all controlled by pirates, what should we do!" Huang Li sighed.

"Keep going, you're sure you'll find the boat!" Huang Fengwu does not believe that pirates can control all fishing boats. The reason why Zhoushan Island is called Zhoushan is that it is shaped like a boat, and then the people basically rely on boats to travel, and almost every family has a boat.

The group continued along the coast, and the beach under their feet was extremely flat, and the white sand was covered with it, and it was very comfortable to walk on it. In the old days, Huang Feng Dance would happily run on the beach and watch the beautiful sea view. But at the moment, where would she pay attention to such a situation, all she wanted was to find the fishing boat as soon as possible.

Not far ahead, at the end of the beach, there is a huge rock that juts into the sea, and the other side of the rock is completely invisible.

"Hurry up, maybe there's a fishing boat on the other side of the rock!" Huang Fengwu urged everyone.

This rock is the remnant of the island's hills, stretching from the middle of the island to the sea. There were no roads between the hills, and the people crawled on the hills with difficulty. After walking for so long, Huang Fengwu only felt that the soles of his feet hurt, and they must have been blistering. Huang Fengwu has never suffered so much in his life, although it is hard to practice martial arts, but because of his interest, he does not feel much bitter, but the current mountain road makes Huang Fengwu miserable. But thinking about Zhoushan City, which was being besieged by pirates, Huang Fengwu could only grit his teeth and insist.

Finally over the hill, a small fishing bay came into view, with eight or nine houses looming among the trees on the shore, and a few fishing boats with their sails lowered moored on the sea.

"Finally found the boat!" The scene in front of them made everyone excited, and their steps were much lighter when they walked.

However, when they approached, the noise in the fishing village frightened everyone.

The sound of crying, fighting, and shouting came faintly from the village.

"Could it be that there are pirates in the village too?" Everyone looked at each other in horror.

"No matter, let's go straight to the beach, grab the boat and leave!" Almost instantly, Huang Fengwu made a decision and led everyone straight to the fishing village.

However, if you want to think about the sea from the hill, you have to pass through the fishing village, and although everyone has no choice, they have to pass through the fishing village carefully.

The fishing village is very small, with less than 10 households, all of which are similar bamboo buildings, with no courtyards, and green vegetables growing in the open space around the buildings.

Regardless of the noisy sound on the bamboo building, Huang Fengwu led people to walk quickly.

In front of the second bamboo building, a man was lying in short clothes and trousers, barefoot, and he looked like a fisherman, he was stabbed in the abdomen, blood flowed all over the ground, and sobs and violent wheezing came from the bamboo building.

Seeing the corpse on the ground, Huang Fengwu stopped all of a sudden, his eyebrows were upside down, and his face sank like water.

"Miss, it's important for us to report the news!" Huang Li knew what Huang Fengwu was thinking, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Kill all the pirates, it's never too late to report the news!" Huang Fengwu couldn't help but give an order.

Huang Li had no choice but to rush to the bamboo building with four personal soldiers, while Huang Fengwu stood on the narrow street with a spear in hand.

There was a violent fighting sound on the bamboo building, and the screams rang out, and soon Huang Li and a few people came down.

"There were two pirates, and they all came out." Huang Li reported.

Huang Fengwu nodded and motioned for them to continue clearing the other bamboo buildings.

Maybe the pirates didn't expect to meet officers and soldiers here, maybe they were too involved in robbery, when Huang Li and they cleared the fifth bamboo building, it attracted the attention of other pirates, two pirates came down from a bamboo building, saw Huang Fengwu standing on the street, screamed, drew a knife and rushed over.

Huang Fengwu rushed forward, the spear trembled, shaking out a few huge spear flowers, the two pirates stood at once, the steel knife in their hands fell to the ground, and their hands covered their throats, but the blood couldn't stop flowing out from the cracks in their hands.

One shot and two lives, Huang Fengwu looked at the spear in her hand in amazement, and her marksmanship improved greatly in anger!

The cries of the two pirates had already attracted the attention of the other pirates, and a dozen pirates poured out from everywhere, and when they saw the corpses of their accomplices on the street, their eyes suddenly turned red, and they rushed over with their weapons.

Huang Li and the others came down from the bamboo building and stood behind Huang Fengwu.

On one side were more than a dozen pirates, and on the other side were Huang Fengwu and five officers and soldiers, a total of six people, and the two sides immediately fought. Although the number of pirates was very different, the battle ended quickly, and in less than a stick of incense, more than a dozen pirates were killed.

Huang Fengwu's side is all elite soldiers, all of them can be one and two, and there is even more of a master like Huang Fengwu, who can't play the numerical advantage of pirates in the narrow streets. Only two of Huang Fengwu's own soldiers were slightly injured. (To be continued.) )
