"Pay attention to concealment, if anyone comes out, don't blame the commander for turning his face and not recognizing people, the emperor's rules are known to you, this time it is related to our life and death, and no one is allowed to be careless." Mu Jianming pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist in a agitated mood, followed by several hundred households and general banners at the mouth of the valley to carefully inspect every terrain.

Behind him, on the back of the mound three hundred meters from Taniguchi, three hundred soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were prostrate on the ground, covered with hay, hiding in the darkness.

The width of the valley mouth is 30 zhang, (about equal to 50 meters.) There are weeds and jungles all around, and it is difficult for people to find out if they are ambushed on both sides far away, Mu Jianming is most worried about whether the Shenji Battalion will be able to block the pirates' crazy attack after the pirates enter the valley, and the blacksmiths have built a total of more than seventy steel crossbows in the past month, which have all been equipped to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, these people are also proficient in the basic three-stage strike after hard training, and the only thing to worry about is their shooting accuracy, which can only come slowly, after all, time is pressing, If you want to become a marksman, it doesn't happen overnight.

"Look, with the rate of fire of a steel crossbow, we can divide the soldiers with steel crossbows into two columns, each half a foot apart (almost 0. 8 meters), and then fill each crossbowman with a melee soldier, so that the fire is repeated, if there are scattered enemies rushing in, you can immediately withdraw the crossbowman from the valley mouth, and use the melee soldier to fill the resistance, what do you think? Mu Jianming pointed at Taniguchi very seriously.

"It's all up to the command to make your lordship decide." Hundreds of households and general flags nodded one after another, such a formation is perfect for defense, and no one has an opinion.

"Then you will each conceal and restrain your subordinates, listen to my order, and then kill together." Mu Jianming waved his hand, and the dozen or so officers who had originally gathered at the mouth of the valley dispersed and disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later, the pirates entered the village under the leadership of Liu Er, their feet were wrapped in a thick layer of cotton cloth, and every step quietly did not make a sound, quietly, the pirates gathered into a long snake and meandered through the village.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this village is only a tool for them to hide their eyes, and at night they hide in the valley behind the village to rest, and all their treasures are hidden in the valley. These days, I have been listening to the nagging of the big bosses, saying that one of these Ming people is the Yongli Emperor of the former Ming Dynasty, and he has no less than ten boxes of jewelry, with a market value of at least one million taels. Big bosses, look, there is Taniguchi ahead. Liu Er lowered his voice and said in front of several masters, and suddenly pointed to the open valley mouth in front of him, and said with a little surprise.

Jewels worth millions, Hei Shui Jiao didn't expect that an inconspicuous village would have so much wealth, and the Yongli Emperor of the former Ming Dynasty was even more valuable, and if he took his head, he could go to Manren in exchange for the hot official wealth, Hei Shui Jiao's heart was moved, he quickened his pace, leaned over and observed the valley mouth.

Taniguchi was quiet, not a single patrolling figure was seen, and the whole village was like ashes, without any movement. Black Water Jiao quietly pulled out his back knife from his back and was about to give the order to attack. Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

It's really weird, Heishuijiao's experience foresees the danger, even the most ordinary rich family will invite a few nurses to come to watch the house for his thousands of taels of silver, and the wealth here is huge, I heard Liu Er say that there are still two thousand Ming troops, so much wealth and two thousand regular soldiers do not set up any guards at the valley mouth, what does this mean?

"Poke the fuck, there's a fraud!" Hei Shuijiao thought to himself, he turned his face sideways, and sneered and glared at Liu Er beside him, who was intimidated by his anger and involuntarily took a step back.

"Eight achievements are this Liu Er's anti-water." Hei Shuijiao spat out thick phlegm fiercely, and raised the knife on his back, planning to cut this inner ghost. Unexpectedly, Liu Er had already realized it, let go of his voice and shouted: "Brothers, the master said that there are three million taels of silver in the valley, as long as you rush in and the brothers eat and drink spicy, you can't spend all this money, rob it!" ”

A roar tore through the silence of the night sky, and the pirates were so stunned that they heard someone give an order, and they showed off their weapons one after another, and rushed forward in a roar.

"Kill, kill and everyone will get rich, each person will marry ten wives, live in a house with three entrances and three exits, eat three catties of meat at a meal, and drink endless rice wine." Liu Er suddenly flashed into the turbulent water thieves, and continued to shout and add fuel to the fire.

Nine hundred thieves rushed into the valley unstoppably, and even the few village owners in front were swept away by the flow of people and had to sprint forward.

"Don't rush, there is fraud ahead." Hei Shuijiao's weak voice was quickly covered by the shouting of killing, everyone became fanatical, everyone's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and rushed in, in front of him was countless wealth. The blood of the pirates boiled, and the madmen rushed into the valley.

"It's over!" Hei Shui Jiao's whole body was cold, he was mechanically wrapped in the surging crowd and forward, he didn't even dare to look back, he knew better than anyone else that once he turned around, those subordinates who had completely lost their restraint would knock him down, and then there would be countless footprints behind him, and finally trampled into meat sauce by his own people.

"Poke his mother, retreat is also death, Lao Tzu fought with them." Black Water Jiao suddenly became arrogant, like an ignorant pirate, he threw away all distracting thoughts, and roared and raised his back knife high.

"Kill, kill the fucking Ming dog!"

The figures under the night sky converged into a long sharp knife and plunged into the valley!

"Kill! Kill! ”

The shouting turned from low to high, and finally from strong to weak. To the surprise of all the pirates, they had been rushing into the valley for a full few incense sticks, but to their surprise, the whole valley was so open, they sprinted frantically for half an hour, and there was no end in sight, not to mention the treasure, not even a single figure.

"Look, there's a fire ahead." The pirate who sprinted at the front pointed to the surprise in the distance.

The water pirates snapped their spirits and brandished their weapons and rushed towards the light.

In a clearing in the valley, dozens of torches burning tung oil formed a circle, and a dozen heads with loose hair were artificially piled up into a pyramid shape, emitting an inexplicable rancid stench.

The water thieves surrounded the small pyramid of human heads, but no one dared to approach it, and they chatted with each other, and the original blood was poured into a basin of cold sea water and disappeared without a trace.

"Where is Liu Er, where is he?" Hei Shuijiao raised his knife and took advantage of the efforts of the subordinates to calm down and began to settle accounts after the autumn.

Thou shalt look upon me, thou shalt look upon thee, and no one answers, water thieves.

The pirates weren't stupid, even the pig's brain knew that this anti-water beast had already taken advantage of the chaos.

"We've been fooled? Fuck it, what the hell is this place. Sha Tongtian recklessly slashed at the pile of heads with a long knife, and the stacked pyramids scattered in a hurry, rolling everywhere.

"Oh no, isn't this one-eyed?" Sha Tongtian picked up the head rolling at his feet and said dumbfounded.

"Brothers, quickly withdraw to Taniguchi, poke his mother, you've been tricked." Black Water Jiao raised his hand, pushed aside the thieves gathered around and scolded and gave orders.

Pirates are not bandits, no matter how brave they are, they can't form effective combat effectiveness on land, if they sneak attack this group of remnants of the Ming Dynasty, they may still be successful, but once the other party finds out, they will set a trap for them, facing the pirates with 2,000 regular soldiers is no different from the half-fat and thin on the chopping block.

Escape, escape from the valley mouth, escape to the Western warship, only there is the safest, and the courage of the black water Jiao was immediately wiped out.

"Hei Shui Jiao, the old lady was originally a hero and a hero, but I didn't expect that it was such a bear now, Ming Gouzi has set up an ambush at the mouth of the valley, wouldn't we rush back and let the brothers go to death?" The Water Widow suddenly walked out of the crowd of thieves, and confronted the Black Water Jiao with her waist in her waist, blocking the Black Water Jiao's retreat.

Before entering the valley, the water widow also felt that something was wrong, but at that time, Liu Er was a ghost, and the water thieves had lost their minds. She is a thoughtful person, and just now when everyone was talking about it, she stood aside and carefully scrutinized the details.

Now that the enemy has led you into a desperate situation, how can they easily let you go? For now, the only way to do this is to restrain his subordinates and effectively attack and defend the Ming army at Taniguchi, and the hope of escaping is a little greater.

Like a black water jiao, he raised his legs and ran, and there was no difference between the Ming army who rushed to attack the valley mouth and sent him to death.

"The widow is right, the more you get to this time, the more you can't panic, if anyone wants to be a bad seed and don't care about the life and death of his brothers, Lao Tzu will be the first to chop him alive." Sha Tongtian raised his knife viciously and glared at Hei Shuijiao viciously.

"So what do you say?" Hei Shui Jiao lost his claim in a mess, he was not timid, on the sea, he broke the wind and waves, across the seven seas, but when he got to land, he was cowardly.

"Everyone should not panic, and they should gather around the house to sit and rest."

The water widow gave the first order, and everyone rushed into the valley rashly, and did not stop for nearly half an hour, and the physical strength was exhausted and clean, if you ran back to the valley mouth without stopping, let alone fighting, even if the enemy did not move and let you take a knife to cut it without strength. So, anyway, let's regain my strength first.
