Chapter Seventy-Nine: Raiding the Pirate Base
Fishermen who often fish in the waters near Mingzhou know that there is a force of bandits and pirates in the East China Sea. The double scimitar flag hoisted on the bow of the boat made the nearby fishermen even more discolored. If fishermen are afraid of the wind and waves when they go out to sea, what they are really afraid of are the pirates flying the double scimitar flag.
These large pirates often roamed the waters around Minzhou, in addition to raiding passing merchant ships. Fishermen who are unlucky will also end up with no personal wealth when they meet them. Over time, the fishermen near Mingzhou, knowing that they could achieve greater gains by sailing a little longer, did not dare to risk the possibility of encountering pirates.
It was the fishermen and merchant ships who had become so wary of the outnumbered pirates that no one dared to follow them and find out where they had landed on the open island. Zhao Xiaoxi's cloth pavilion can understand the existence of this island, or it is by bribing the Zhu family and sending undercover agents to find out the detailed information.
For this pirate den on the troubled side, whether it is public or private, Zhao Xiaoxi will not let them have another chance to escape. After solving the patrol pirates and observers on the hidden code, Zhao Xiaoxi ordered four people to stay, and sent someone to notify the navy to dispatch to meet the arrival of the sailor fleet, and the rest of the personnel followed him back to the vicinity of the pirate station.
Looking at the pirates above the arrow tower, they were not as relaxed as the patrolling pirates in front, but on the contrary, they looked at the front in groups of two and two. But they didn't know that at this moment, under the arrow tower they guarded, there were already more than a dozen intruders in night clothes.
Looking at the pirate archers above the arrow tower, Zhao Xiaowan selected four members of the martial arts who were proficient in archery and asked them to be in charge of each other's arrow towers. It must be killed with one blow at the same time, and the people on the arrow tower must not be given any chance to react. This means that the cooperation of the four archers is very important, and the slightest mistake can easily make the other team send a warning signal.
When the four archers were ready to shoot arrows, Cho Hyo-seok picked up a stone from the ground and made a ready gesture towards the four of them. Soon the stone was thrown to the light area in front of the arrow tower, and almost all the pirate archers on the four arrow towers heard the sound and turned their bodies to the place where the stone made the sound.
Just when the four pirate archers wondered how the stone could roll off the flat ground, each of the four members of the martial arts was in charge of a pirate, and almost simultaneously shot the iron arrows in their hands. Under this kind of calculated and unintentional covert attack, almost all four pirates were hit by arrows in the head and throat, and they lost their lives on the arrow tower.
Seeing that there were no accidents, Zhao Xiaoxi gave the signal to climb over the low wall, and the members of the military department quickly jumped up from the shadows and rushed towards the pirate settlement. After climbing over the low wall, Zhao Xiaoxi ordered the four members of the military department to guard the arrow tower and break the bolt of the gate in front of the low wall, and wait for the arrival of the large army of the navy.
As for Cho Hyo-seok, who entered early, he handed over to the remaining members of the martial arts and began to transform into a life reaper. Kill all the pirates who appear in front of them, and try to sneak attack and assassinate them before alerting the pirates who have not yet rested. If their whereabouts are revealed, they will be forcibly killed, and they will hold out until the support of the large naval army arrives.
As the general person in charge tonight, Cho Hyo-seok played the role of answering and followed behind these members of the martial arts. Watch as they begin to slash their throats from the room where the first pirate rests. Rest these pirates early and fall asleep, so that they never have a chance to wake up again.
The members of the Martial Forces, who haunt these wooden houses like ghosts of the night, begin to take on the role of life seekers. Until he entered a room and attacked it, he suddenly found that the people inside had not rested. Seeing the member of the martial arts who suddenly touched it, the other party seemed to have a lot of combat experience, and in the face of the crossbow arrows fired at close range, he directly pulled the companion who was chatting with him in front of him as a shield.
'Enemy attack! ’
The middle-aged pirate, who didn't feel any guilt at all for using his companion who had just called him a brother as a shield, pulled out the short knife that was placed beside him as he rolled, and roared in the loudest voice. This roar immediately caused the other pirates, who had not yet rested, to stop drinking and chatting, and when they heard the sound of swords and soldiers intersecting, they immediately realized that someone had entered the camp at night.
In addition to feeling incredible, these pirates, who often walk on the tip of the knife, also grabbed the weapons that did not leave their bodies for the first time. Running towards the place where the sound of the battle came, this vigilant pirate seemed to have a decent force value. The two members of the martial arts department couldn't kill him for a while, and even let him take the time to break the window and roll out.
'Brothers, someone is attacking the village! ’
After this roar was heard, the pirate, who felt that he had escaped, soon saw a sword-wielding man standing in front of him, also dressed as a night walker. When he felt that the other party was all the way to those who wanted to kill him, the middle-aged pirate quickly drew his knife and attacked. I want to break through the sword-wielding blockade and join up with the pirates who have already arrived.
It's just that when he raised his sword and slashed at the other party, the sword-wielder looked calm, and a quick rush drew his sword and slashed through a sword light. The middle-aged pirate felt that all the strength he had gathered before had suddenly disappeared. When he tried to shout something again, he found that he could no longer make a sound, and the gushing sensation in his throat made the middle-aged pirate know that he was hopeless.
'So fast...... The sword! ’
Turning around and spitting out these inaudible words full of unwillingness, the middle-aged pirate who escaped the attack of the members of the martial arts department quickly fell in front of Zhao Xiaoxi like a log. When the members of the martial arts who came after them were ready to ask the pavilion master for their guilt, they failed to obliterate the other party silently, but let the other party roar through their whereabouts and sabotage their assassination operation.
Well, don't feel too guilty, just be more careful in the future. From now on, you will follow me, kill these pirates who have come to help, and wait for the arrival of the army. In any case, the pirates on this island must be wiped out tonight. The swordsman is in the front, the crossbowman is in the center, and the archer is in the back, forming a formation to defend. ’
After giving the order cleanly, these well-trained members of the military department quickly formed a defense that integrated the near, medium and far range. Although they are not numerous, if they want to break through their blocking line, the other party still has to pay a lot of price. What's more, there is also Zhao Xiaoxi, a martial arts master, who is a strong man who can reach a hundred!
Looking at the first batch of pirates who arrived with weapons in hand, within a hundred steps, Zhao Xiaoxi did not wait for these pirates to speak. Immediately said: "Archers ready, put!" ”
The four archers immediately shot the iron arrows they had set, and the four pirates who ran in front of them immediately fell to the ground. But for this wave of pirates of at least forty or fifty people, the death of four pirates was naturally not an unacceptable loss. On the contrary, when they saw that their companions were shot to death, and that there were only a dozen or so attackers, the rest of the pirates immediately rushed towards them with a sound of murder.
And within this hundred paces distance, four well-trained archers had already shot three arrows each, and the twelve pirates who were shot had no chance of surviving.
As the pirate approached, the archer slung his longbow over his shoulder and drew his scimitar from his waist. The crossbowman in the center began to shoot three short arrows on the crossbow at the pirates who were still more than ten meters away. Let the other party reduce more than ten pirates again, until the pirates rushed over, Zhao Xiaoxi drew his sword and pointed at the rushing pirate tiger and roared: "Kill!" ”
The members of the martial arts department, who had already drawn their swords, quickly followed the lead and rushed towards Zhao Xiaoxi, who was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and set fire to the first batch of pirates who rushed over to set fire. In just a few minutes, they were all slaughtered and fell. Among them, the pirate who was killed by Zhao Xiaoxi almost didn't even have a chance to fight back, and was stabbed by the lightning-fast sword, losing the ability to resist and his life.
The rest of the pirates who followed behind heard the shouts of killing, and looked at the first batch of pirates so neatly wiped out, and also felt that this sneak attacker, who was almost like a killing machine, what was the origin. Not to mention having the ability to touch their island, it seems too arrogant to dare to be so bold and brave enough to fight against the nearly 1,000 pirates who live here, right?
What they didn't expect was that in the face of the second batch of nearly 100 pirates, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was covered in blood, continued to roar like a killing god: "Brothers, kill!" ”
This 'brothers' made the members of the military department who were fortunate enough to follow this pavilion master to fight excitedly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and followed behind this pavilion master who was like chopping melons and vegetables, Zhao Hyo-seok, and launched a counter-charge against these pirates, who were almost ten to one. In the eyes of the pirates who rushed to help, these sneak attackers are not crazy!
Compared to the speed of the members of the martial arts, Zhao Xiaoxi, as the arrow of the attack, was the first to enter these pirates. Looking at this man in black, holding a sword like lightning, constantly appearing in front of the pirates who counterattacked, almost every time the sword was swung, a pirate fell, such a strong skill. The rest of the pirates who watched around couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Such a murderous master, when have they ever encountered it!
When a group of pirates were assembled and rushed to the front of the camp to support, Zhu Shichang, the leader of the Double Scimitar Pirate Group. is in the core of the camp house, enjoying a few good family women who were robbed some time ago. Suddenly heard the report from his subordinates that someone had touched the island and killed nearly a hundred brothers, Zhu Shichang also felt that how could this be possible?
It's just that no matter what, since the enemy is coming, it must be resolutely counterattacked. Quickly left behind these almost numb women of good families, got dressed and picked up the iron gun and rushed out. Leading the way in the pirates, the most elite group of outlaws, began to rush towards the place in front of them. He also wanted to see who it was, daring Tai Sui's head to break ground and sneak attack the territory of the Twin Scimitar Pirates!
