Ding Yi did not enter Li Village, but the Malaysian Golden Dao sat on the shore and issued orders in an orderly manner, the anchor was retracted, and the sails that had fallen on the ship were raised again, ready to set sail again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sailors sent two swords to Ding Yi, Ding Yi put a pair of swords in front of him, waiting for the food delivered by the ship and the reply of the Li Village monitor, dozens of sailors were fully armed, sitting quietly on the bow of the ship waiting for food and orders, and the four horses prepared by Li Cun were led aside, waiting for Ding Yi and others to ride.

The solemn atmosphere affected everyone, Li Xiunian accompanied Ding Yi, as the patriarch who led more than 1,000 people to open up in the wilderness, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to come out, and a layer of oil sweat appeared on his face. Li Sanlang stood beside him, looking at him worriedly.

Beckoning people from Li Village to have a meal together, not long after the meal, someone hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground and told Ding Yi and Li Xiunian that about 50 kilometers east, Hongmaoyi was attacking a village.

Ding stood up and asked, "Is that village on the shore?"

The messenger glanced at Li Xiunian twice, got the signal, and replied: "Yes, you can see it more than 50 miles east along the coast!"

Ding Yi ordered: "The Li people get on the boat, Lao Lin leads the team, and search and advance along the coast! When you see Hongmaoyi, you can catch it, but you can't catch and slaughter it!" After that, he threw the messenger on his horse, drew his two swords, and jumped on his horse: "Lead the way, go, drive, drive!" The two of them quickly ran east along the coast.

Ding Yi buried his head and rushed violently, and the messenger had no choice but to raise his whip hard, and when he ran more than half the distance, he changed horses.

Ding Yi was very vigilant along the road, fortunately, the enemy did not pay attention to the vigilance, and it was very safe!

"Official, it's almost there, and the village is not far ahead!" Hearing sporadic gunshots, the messenger hurriedly called Ding Yi.

"Woo ......" Ding Yi jumped off his horse and threw the reins to the messenger: "You take the horse to the roadside jungle to take shelter, pay attention to the ships at sea, be careful of the enemy, I will go and see first." ”

Without waiting for the messenger to answer, Ding Yi ran forward with his twin swords.

The messenger led the horse into the roadside forest, bolted it and pulled out a knife, followed Ding Yi cautiously and slowly!

The sound of gunfire was still heard from time to time, still sporadically, and it sounded very weak resistance. Ding Yi was anxious, but slowed down when he saw the village, which was much smaller than Li Village, with no walls and dilapidated and low houses. In front of the village, there are still some crops growing on the ground, swaying in the wind, if it were not for the gunshots that came at the beginning, what a harmonious and beautiful picture of the countryside!

Sneaking into the village, leaning on a house at the edge of the village, Ding Yi was extremely angry, the blood in the village was very heavy, and in the corner of the wall, there was a corpse in the east and west of the village, and there were several corpses scattered in a mess, but unlike Ding Yi's thoughts, there were no figures on both sides of the battle in the village. I don't know where most of the people in the village and Hongmaoyi went.

Ding walked cautiously while listening quietly, there seemed to be a human voice from the east, not taking the right road, Ding climbed over the wall and crossed the courtyard, and went straight to the east.

The voice gradually became clear, it was the cry of several people, men and women, old and young.

In the small courtyard, near the door are four red hairymen in short shirts and muskets, with strange hats on their heads, followed by an obese middle-aged man, wearing a silk shirt, a pair of colored pants, and a small melon skin hat on his head, a little nondescript, I don't know what they are dressed up in, these five people are obviously in a group, the four Hongmaoyi are talking about something, and from time to time the fat man translates.

In the corner of the side wall of the courtyard were two five or six-year-old children, a man and a woman, skinny, with no clothes on their upper bodies and a pair of small shorts underneath, a middle-aged woman with her back to the door hugging them tightly, the two children kept crying, and the women kept tearing and shaking their heads.

Confronting the fat man was a black and thin old man, holding a dung fork and making protective movements, but he didn't dare to move and bluffed. A few strands of sparse white goatee trembled, staring excitedly at what the fat man was shouting, his face was bruised, sweat flowed, his upper body was bare, and his ribs were prominent.

Ding Yi couldn't understand what they were saying, and could only roughly hear that the old man and the fat man were speaking the language of Fuzhou, and the language of the Hongmaoyi was even more inaudible.

After the four red haired Yi said a few words to the fat man, they seemed to be very impatient, someone raised the musket in front of his eyes and made an aiming action, the fat man hurriedly reached out to stop it, but was kicked to the ground by one of the red hairy, and the other red hairy Yi moved the hammer, aimed at the old man, and was about to fire.

Like a huge kite, Ding Yi rose from behind the low wall and soared in mid-air, the sword in his left hand had already shot out like lightning, and the red-haired Yi sat on his back and nailed to the ground, his fingers twitched, and there was a loud bang, and the bullet did not know where it was flying! The other three red-haired people could not be said to be unhappy, and they retreated against the wall, moved the hammer, and raised their guns to shoot.

It's just that since Ding Yi has already launched, there will give them a chance. As soon as they landed, the wind swept through the three red hairs.

In the blink of an eye, the four red hairs all fell to the ground, and there was no sound. Ding picked up the thrown sword, didn't speak, and looked at the fat man coldly.

The fat man took two steps back, knelt on the ground, kept kneeling his head, and kept saying something! The old man, the women and children were also stunned, and they all closed their mouths and looked at Ding Yi.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" Ding Yi's sword was held diagonally behind him with his left hand, and his right hand plucked out his ear, looking at the fat man with disdain.

"The official spares his life, the official spares his life!" The fat man actually knows how to speak official words, just now Ding Yi was still thinking about whether to kill this fat man, now it's okay, the fat man's role has increased greatly, and listen to him tell me what's going on!

"Don't kill him, he's not a bad guy!" the old man could also speak official words, but he spoke very eloquently, sounding a little laborious, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "I've seen the official! Thank you for saving your life!" stretched out his hand and motioned to the women and children behind him to kowtow.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly took her two children and kowtowed to Ding.

"Get up and talk about what the mess looks like!" Ding Yi frowned and told the elderly, middle-aged women, and children to get up.

The fat man was just about to stand up, Ding Yi stretched out his sword and put it flat on the fat man's shoulder: "You kneel and tell me what's going on, where did the red-haired Yidu go, where did the people in the village go?"

"Villain Xu Chuanchen, I..."

"Who asked your name, hurry up and tell me what I just asked, if you hide it, you will die!" Ding Yi's arm shook, the sword was a little heavier, Xu Chuanchen looked sideways, and there was a trace of blood on the blade!

Xu Weichen trembled, and hurriedly told Ding Yi about the matter, although there was a lot of whitewashing, it should be true.

Xu Weichen is a translator of a maritime merchant, followed the maritime merchant south to Srivijaya, and on the return journey met the fleet of Hongmaoyi, Hongmaoyi was hateful, did not say a word, just met and opened fire, the fleet was captured by the other party, the goods were not counted, the people on the ship were slaughtered by Hongmaoyi, only he could speak Yi, and was left to serve by Hongmaoyi.

Hongmaoyi drove north from Sriwijaya until Yizhou, left some people at the southern end of Yizhou to build a small town, and then divided a few boats to explore the north along the coast, and the coastal villages and towns were destroyed by them, and everyone was escorted to the town to do coolies, construction and enrichment of household registration. This is basically the northernmost point of Yizhou, and only two boats about 200 people came here.

There are not many people living along the coast, Hongmaoyi has limited manpower, did not go deep into Yizhou, I don't know how many people are inland, only rely on ships to sweep on the coast, Li Village I have seen before is the largest village on the seaside, Hongmaoyi could have been able to fight down, the commander was worried about manpower damage, and when he was ready to return from the ship, he moved the cannon from the ship and then attacked.

The old man interjected to explain the situation in the village, there are not many people in this small village, more than 200 people, all of them are people from southern Fujian, young and strong only more than 60, Hongmaoyi was discovered by the villagers from afar, and organized people to block the enemy, most of them retreated into the mountains and forests to hide, and those Hongmaoyi went to search the mountains and wanted to search them out.

Just now, the four Hongmaoyi were left in the village to search for people, the old man was in command to block the enemy, and the three people who were stopped were out to pick wild vegetables, and when they came back, they happened to bump into these four guys, and the four guys forced them to go to the mountains and forests to call people, the old man resolutely refused, and when Hongmaoyi wanted to kill the old man, Ding Yi appeared, and Xu Weichen was still helping to ask for it just now.

Ask the direction of the villagers' escape, Ding Yi picked up the musket and looked carefully, the structure of this musket is very simple, there is a hammer on the right side of the plate machine, a piece of flint is clamped on the jaws of the hammer, and a blow anvil is provided on the side of the fire hole. Much easier to handle than Daming's musket. Some people in the Ming Dynasty also came up with flintlock pistols, the structure was complicated, and they could not solve the problem of steel for striking the anvil, and five or six times out of ten could not be hit, so the Ming muskets were seriously outdated; the four Hongmaoyi had bullet bags, strips, and bayonets hanging from their waists, and when they opened the bullet bags, they were round lead projectiles, and in addition to gunpowder subcontracted with oiled paper.

Fortunately, Ding Yi secretly rejoiced, at this time the West is still a front-loading flintlock pistol, and the bullet is still a primitive projectile, compared to the Daming musket, there is some progress, the gap is not big, this flintlock pistol has a simple structure, send it back, it should be easy to imitate, although the enemy is strong, but it is also limited, if the bullet is reloaded, Ding Yi really does not dare to challenge alone, the front-loading gun is still slow, and he can't use it. It's just that the cannon doesn't know the difference, and the big ship sailing on the sea, these have to be carefully verified!

At this time, a slight sound came from outside the house, Ding Yi stretched out his finger and gestured to his mouth, several people in the courtyard nodded knowingly, and the woman also held down the mouths of the two children.

Holding two swords, Ding Yi hid beside the door, waited for a long time and didn't see anyone come in, took two steps back, Ding Yi jumped into the courtyard next to him, climbed over a few walls, and reached the back of the sound just now, and then quietly poked his head out of the courtyard wall. But I saw that the guide steel knife was holding behind him, nervously hiding in the corner, and was carefully looking around!
