After admonishing Wang Ze that day, Wang Yong went to the dock of Muping, preparing to arrange the battlefield in advance, so that he could be beaten once again when the Long Island pirates attacked.

Although the longer the arrival of the Long Island Haikou is delayed, the more time there will be for the cottage to prepare; However, for more than ten days in a row, the pirates of Long Island have not arrived, and Wang Yong is really uneasy.

According to the inference of the military advisor Lu Wen, there are millions of catties of grain here, and there are hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

On the fifteenth day, even the 'spring' wheat harvest was completed, and everyone was about to take it anymore, the fishing boats that had been patrolling the sea in turn for half a month returned one after another, and the sea Jiao finally led a large army to come!

According to the speculation of the military advisor Lu Wen and the previous news leaked by Zheng Kui, the subordinates of the two people of the Long Island Haikou and the Sea Dog have a total population of nearly 6,000 people, of which at least nearly 4,000 are young and strong people who have seen blood, which is much stronger than the current strength of the cottage.

However, when the pirates set out on the expedition, the lair 'hole' on the island will inevitably leave hundreds of people to defend, so the available pirates will never exceed three thousand. Zheng Kui's subordinates could not rule out that a small number of people might rebel, then at most 3,500 pirates.

Wang Yong's side has a total of more than 18,000 people in 15 camps in Muping, although there are 6 or 7,000 of them who are young and strong, but you must know that the three or four thousand people of Haikou are all pirates who have seen blood. And most of the six or seven thousand young men on Wang Yong's side are ordinary farmers who have never even killed sheep.

Not long ago, Wang Yong and others trained the militia and organized more than 2,000 people to conduct some training, but after all, they had never seen blood.

Now, as soon as they saw the ships of the Haikou in the northern sea, some of them were already frightened and weakened. However, there are also some strong men who add their tongues to their lips, but they look a little excited.

One of the Long Island Pirates' sentry ship swept through a rounded arc on the surface of the seashore water, smoothly skimming nearby, which was the situation of the pirates' sentry probing the shore.

It may be that seeing that preparations were made on the shore, the fleet of Haikou did not land directly at the pier, and sailed straight to Zhifu Island, which was more than ten miles away.

In the pre-Qin period and even thousands of years ago, Zhifu Island was the place where the Chinese ancestors worshiped the sun god. The island is very close to the land, and the two sides of the strait have not yet been connected to become a land island as in later generations, but due to the impact of the sea 'waves', both sides of the strait are flat sandy land.

The Nagashima pirates quickly landed on the island in small boats, and after discovering that there were no ambushes, they began to go ashore on a large scale.

But Wang Yong found that the most of the attacking pirates landed was 2,000 people, and the most people who were still on duty on the ship were a few hundred, where did the remaining 1,000 people go?

Wang Yong's heart was uneasy, and seeing that the Haikou on Zhifu Island was camped without impatience and had a long-term posture of garrisoning, Wang Yong's heart was even more irritable, and in order to maintain the stability of the young people under his command, Wang Yong could not 'express' this emotion.

After three days, the Haikou still did not have the posture of attacking, but from time to time sent small groups ashore to 'make a disturbance'.

Although the young men armed by Wang Yong and the others were not noisy, due to the high tension of the 'spirit' spirit in the past few days, the consumption of physical strength was very great, and the 'spirit' spirit was relatively sluggish.

Seeing that all the young men under his command were so unfocused, Wang Yong decided to slaughter a batch of sheep at noon to reward these young men and strong, so that they could muster up their strength to defend their own homeland.

During the meal, Wang Yong suddenly found that Jiang Chuan, who had been in the cottage before, actually appeared in his big tent. Wang Yong walked out of the big tent without moving, and saw that no one was listening outside, and hurriedly called Jiang Chuan to him and asked him: "Twelve Lang, aren't you responsible for the safety of the cottage?" Why did you come here all of a sudden? ”

Jiang Chuan is the son of Wang Yong's father, Lao Buqu, who ranks twelfth in the family and has always been loyal to Wang Yong's family. Wang Yong would never think that he would rebel, it must be that there is a big matter on the side of the cottage, and Jiang Chuan will secretly come to find him.

Jiang Chuan saluted Wang Yong respectfully, and then said: "Lang Jun, a few days ago, nearly a thousand pirates came to attack the cottage, and they were wiped out by Xiao Langjun and everyone!" ”

Wang Yong was immediately confused by Jiang Chuan's words, and now at this critical juncture, it is impossible for Jiang Chuan to deceive himself. It's just that why did the Long Island Haikou know that the tuntian here belonged to him and others? Moreover, the news that these thousands of pirates attacked the cottage and were destroyed by Wang Ze, who was a few years old, led by the crowd, is also too amazing.

How many people are in the cottage now, Wang Yong is clear. When I came, I only arranged for more than 200 people to stay in the cottage. Although the cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, nearly a thousand Haikou are four or five times as many as them. It was fortunate that he was able to keep the cottage and not be breached, and he even annihilated the Haikou.

Wang Yong felt that his son was really against the sky. After Jiang Chuan's detailed narration, Wang Yong finally understood the cause and effect of the incident.

Five days ago, as the former village guard, Jiang Chuan also arranged for a fishing boat to find out the news of the arrival of the pirates at sea, so he arranged for people from all over the place to return to the cottage as early as possible to prevent the pirates from coming to attack temporarily.

Unbeknownst to him, although the fleet of the Long Island Haikou continued to sail eastward, nearly thirty percent of the manpower was ready to land. It turned out that a few days before the army was dispatched, Zheng Kui was captured by a trick, and then more than 200 newly joined Haikou under Zheng Kui rebelled and took refuge in Haijiao.

Nao Haijiao learned from these people that the cottage was the master behind the scenes, so he planned to capture the cottage first, and then take Wang Ze and other family members to deter Wang Yong.

At that time, Jiang Chuan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly notified Zhu Rui, who was staying in the cottage, and Zhu Rui was very anxious when he learned about it. Taking advantage of the fact that Haikou had just landed and was still ten miles away from the cottage, he hurriedly summoned the only remaining part of the cottage to prepare to resist.

When the pirates came to the outside of the cottage, it was already approaching dusk, and the terrain in front of the cottage was dangerous, so there was no attack for the time being.

Early the next morning, the Haikou outside the village 'gate' spread the word that as long as Wang Yong's son Wang Ze was 'handed over' in the village, the people and horses would retreat, and if they did not 'hand over', they would not be left behind to capture the cottage 'chicken' dog.

Zhu Rui naturally didn't think about it, and without hesitation, he ordered Jiang Chuan beside him to 'shoot' the little minion who was spreading the word with a bow.

This annoyed Haikou, and immediately began to attack, but the attack surface of the cottage was narrow and easy to defend. Even so, during the period, he was almost attacked by the Haikou on the wall, and even Zhu Rui went into battle with a knife, but he was stabbed a few times, but fortunately he did not hurt the vital point.

At a critical juncture, even the blacksmith Cao led the blacksmiths of the blacksmith workshop to help, and the blacksmith workshop made nine sets of iron armor in the past few days, and the blacksmith Cao took his two sons and six other martial arts to be so-so but had a strong blacksmith wearing iron armor, holding a sharp blade to rush to the city to help the battle, but he also looked mighty.

Although there were more than 100 blacksmiths such as Cao Blacksmith to help in the battle, the number of people on the wall was only more than 300 people, and many people were injured. As the pirates used wheel warfare to attack in turn, the people of the cottage on the wall gradually lost their physical strength.

Seeing that the carpenters from the Civil Engineering College did not come to help in the battle, Blacksmith Cao angrily scolded these people for being cowards and asked Jiang Chuan to immediately send someone to call the carpenters.

Before Jiang Chuan wanted to send the people went, a group of carpenters from the civil engineering over there led hundreds of students from various academies, hurrying towards the wall with miscellaneous things, but the leader was Wang Ze.

Zhu Rui heard that Wang Ze led a large group of people to the wall, and he was so anxious: "I said Dalang, you don't stay in the back mountain safely, but you have taken the risk to come here, go back quickly!" "If you can't hold it, you can still escape in the back mountain, and now you come to the 'gate' of the village to die!

Hearing the third uncle reproach himself, Wang Ze said to Zhu Rui with a smile: "Haikou invaded my cottage, and I heard that he 'wanted' to bind his nephew to coerce his father, although the nephew could not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, but he could also help his uncle or two." ”

It turned out that Wang Ze heard Cao blacksmith complain from Cao Blacksmith last time, saying that the skills of these blacksmiths who came later were really incorrigible.

Wang Ze came up with a casting mold casting method at that time, which did not require much craftsmanship, as long as an iron mold was made and smeared with plant ash inside, the spear tips could be quickly cast.

But after blacksmith Cao saw the final product, he shouted next to him that the iron spear head was useless, and it would break after a few strokes.

Wang Ze ignored him, as long as he could quickly increase the number of weapons on his side, it would be good, and wouldn't it be good to create better weapons in the future!

Then Wang Ze went to the carpenters again, and used the best timber and the stock of beef tendon, and it took more than ten days to make twenty rough 'bed' crossbows.

These 'bed' crossbows and crossbow arrows were originally going to be sent to Wang Yong today, but since Haikou is coming to attack the cottage, let them enjoy it first.

These 'bed' crossbows are indeed rough, and they can only 'shoot' less than eighty zhang, but the power within fifty zhang is still 'quite 'strong'. Seeing such a sharp weapon, Zhu Rui hurriedly took advantage of the interruption in Haikou's adjustment of the offensive and placed the twenty 'bed' crossbows on it.

The crossbow arrows used to fire were the short spears that Wang Ze asked the blacksmiths to cast, and due to the urgency of time, there were less than 500 spears, and the rest were sent to Wang Yong to arm the young and strong.

Changguang County is located on the peninsula, which has always been 'tidal' and wet and rainy, and even more so in the Long Island Islands, where the pirates are located, such an environment is very complicated and expensive to maintain bows and arrows, so neither the Changdao pirates nor the cottages are equipped with bows and arrows.

The Long Island pirates outside the 'gate' of the village were completely unaware that the situation on the battlefield had changed, but half of the short spears hit in the first round of 'shooting', because the distance was only more than 20 meters, and the power of the 'shooting' was great, and a few short spears even 'shot' through the front of the person, and then pierced into the body of the rear pirates.

What's even worse is that the spear tip cast by Wang Ze in the workshop is completely a typical representative of the tofu slag project and fake and shoddy products in later generations, and the difference in quality is outrageous.

The tips of those spears that did not 'shoot' hit the stone ground in front of the cottage, and suddenly the iron slag flew sideways, which was comparable to the shotguns of later generations.

Dozens of pirates either hurt their faces, or injured their bodies' legs and feet, which can be described as a flood of mourning, which made Cao Blacksmith, who had not looked down on these spears before, stunned.

By the time the pirates realized that they had to retreat temporarily, the attacking pirates had already been 'shot' to kill more than 100 people. Even with the pirates who died in the previous battle, there are only about 700 pirates left in this 'wave' pirates.

In the afternoon, the pirates were still thieves, and lit up a few piles of smoke outside the power of the crossbow of the cottage 'bed', in an attempt to smoke the cottage.

However, as soon as the smoke reached the wall of the cottage, the wind direction changed, and it turned out that Zhu Rui had moved out the animal power blower during the autumn harvest. Dozens of brave pirates who were hiding in the smoke and preparing to take advantage of the situation to sneak attack were suddenly 'shot' by the crossbow arrows on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, the pirates went to cut down the nearby trees, made a few thick row shields, and slowly attacked the wall, and the 'bed' crossbow 'shot' couldn't 'shoot' through it several times, and the pirates suddenly thought that they had found a sharp weapon to attack the city, and they all hid behind the row of shields and moved towards the wall.

Everyone in the cottage was very anxious, and at this time Wang Ze thought of an idea, and asked the cook in the school to bring the lard for stir-frying, pour it into the cauldron and boil it to smoke, and then wrap shabby clothes around the short spear, and dip the linen cloth into the oil pot.

Ignite the old clothes on the short spear and quickly 'shoot' it, although the freshly cut down trees are wet, but the burning tarpaulin still ignites the bark and burns large drops of lard and splashes everywhere, and the pirates hiding behind the platoon shields are burned to the point that the devil cries wolf.

Blacksmith Cao watched from the side with an itchy heart, pestering for the right to use a 'bed' crossbow, because he had the strength to make people add an extra cow tendon to the 'bed' crossbow, and after getting on the short spear, Cao Blacksmith aimed at the place where the pirates were concentrated for a long time and did not 'shoot' out, and the Tan carpenter who was watching next to him was anxious and kept urging on the side.

Blacksmith Cao's strength is indeed great, and it would have required the joint efforts of three people to complete the action, but he pulled the bowstring apart as soon as he gritted his teeth alone, and 'shot' at the back of the Haikou at once.

After the 'shooting', the blacksmith Cao also complained to Carpenter Tan and said: "Look at it, you are urging and urging, otherwise I will 'shoot' a leader to death for you to take a good look!" ”

As he was talking, the pirates under the cottage became 'chaotic', only to hear someone shouting: "Oh no, the second leader was 'shot' to death!" ”

Everyone on the cottage, you look at me, I look at you, and they are really speechless about Cao Blacksmith's shit luck.

Just when the pirates were in chaos, a group of people suddenly rushed out from behind the pirates, and they slashed and killed the pirates.

Zhu Rui fixed his eyes and hurriedly ordered: "It's Sun Xing and Qu Liulang who are back, everyone quickly pick up the blade and go out of the village with me to kill the enemy!" ”
