When the county head Liu arrived when he heard the news, the clouds came down from the roof. Lord Liu separated from everyone and came closer, carefully inquired about the purpose of Yunyun's trip, and verified his identity.

Yun reported the familiar generals of the sailors, especially when he mentioned the name of the scout who broke through and asked for help, he believed it, and with a long sigh, he introduced the current situation of Qingshui County to Yun.

It turned out that a few days ago, the Japanese invaded Qingshui County without warning, but fortunately, Lord Liu was inspecting the city defense at that time, and when he saw this, he immediately organized a manpower to resist and resisted the first round of the attack of the Japanese invaders with difficulty, and reluctantly closed the city gate......

However, with the arrival of a large number of Japanese men, especially the artillery, which was thrown into the battlefield, Qingshui County fell into a bitter battle.

There are too many pirates, and there is long-range fire support. Qingshui County has low walls and few people, backward weapons and equipment, and poor resources to defend the city. If it weren't for the desperate resistance of his officers and soldiers, a large number of people spontaneously entered the battle in the later period, and would have been broken long ago.

Even so, it was attacked by the Japanese several times, and although it was pushed down by the joint efforts of the army and the people, it also lost too many manpower. At present, there are less than 200 officers and soldiers who still have the strength to fight a war, and they all rely on the hard support of young and middle-aged people in the city.

After several days of incessant destruction, the walls were badly damaged and crumbling. The city gates, in particular, were so baddened by artillery fire that they could only be held up with wooden stakes, and it was a matter of time before they were broken.

The most important thing is that the resources of defending the city are too large, and now there are basically no rolling wood and stones, arrows are also extremely scarce, weapons are seriously worn, and shields and armor are also damaged, so they can only remove some door panels and barely deal with it.

Yun had expected that Qingshui County's defense must be very difficult, but he didn't expect that it had reached the point of exhaustion. Seeing that the soldiers around him were holding swords with broken blades, and the armor on their bodies was reluctantly fixed to their bodies in many places with hemp rope, he frowned puzzled and asked: "Doesn't the imperial court replenish the city defense and update the equipment every year? Why don't you replace your equipment when it is so badly damaged?"

Hehe, Lord Liu smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that this is the case, but since Lord Zhao came, the distribution of military salaries and equipment has been handled by him." Not only has it never been renewed in the past few years, but even the military salary is often in arrears. If it weren't for the fact that the county has the largest shipbuilding workshop along the coast, there is a constant flow of people on weekdays, and there are many merchants, and the annual tax revenue can still have some surplus in addition to being handed over to the national treasury, I am afraid that it would have been impossible to support it a long time ago. ”

It's this Zhao Quede again! Yun gritted his teeth with hatred: "Didn't you report it?"

According to the system, the excerpts of the report should first be handed over to Zhao Youde, and then reported to the imperial court layer by layer. Once he shows dissatisfaction, he will be detained in his hands, and it will cause him to suppress him more strongly, so he can only give in. ”

Yun is also helpless: "Lord Liu, now more than 700 officers and soldiers of the Navy Division are outside the city, and they are personally led by Lord Zhou. However, we have analyzed that there is no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese Kou, so we are ready to sneak into the city and cooperate with Qingshan County to jointly defend against the enemy. I just dived all the way through the waterway, but it was very difficult, ordinary people couldn't pass through it at all, I wonder if there were other passages?"

Lord Liu pondered for a long time and shook his head and said, "It's really not, I didn't think about being attacked when the city was built, so I didn't leave any other way out." This dark river was discovered by accident, and not many people know about it. ”

"What then?" "The clouds are out of the way: "That waterway is too long, and ordinary people can't hold their breath for that long." I was accompanied by the Sea Dragon of the Sea Sand Gang, who was also one of the best in water kung fu, but was forced to return after only halfway through. Others are even more choking!"

For a while, everyone pondered but there was no way, and then an old man who looked like a boatman came over and saluted Lord Liu and said, "If you just solve the problem of breathing, I have a solution." ”

Oh, Lord Liu's eyes lit up: "Old man, come and listen." “

The old man sorted out his thoughts: "When we were building ships, we used to think about the problem of escape, that is, to make some cowhide bags, fill them with air outside, tie them with ropes, make a small hole in one corner, and take a breath if they can't hold their breath. Originally, it was used to escape the bilge sailors after the ship sank, but it was later abandoned because it was found that there was too little air to do much, but it was no problem at all for a short time. We used to make thousands of them, and now they should all be in the warehouse. ”

Lord Liu was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates and the old boatman to fetch it, but it didn't take much effort to find it, and it was a full two ** bags.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, the clouds did not dare to delay, so Lord Liu sent young and strong laborers to expand the wellhead and put down the hanging ladder to prepare for it, and dived back again. When he came out of the water without danger, the sea dragon was still waiting anxiously. Seeing that an hour had passed, and there was no movement in the clouds, he did not dare to venture in to look for the clouds that were hesitating.

Hailong was overjoyed, grabbed him and asked him briefly about the situation, and then went back together to resume his life. Seeing Lord Zhou, the boss was also very happy to hear that there was a way to enter the city. But then the question arises, how can so many people quietly enter the waterway without being detected, and how can they send people to destroy the artillery of the Japanese invaders?

Everyone brainstormed and discussed for a while, and it was agreed that two things should be done at the same time. The attack on the Japanese artillery positions tried to make a huge movement to attract the attention of the Japanese invaders, and the officers and men of the naval division took this opportunity to quickly infiltrate the ......

But in terms of candidates, everyone is stumped, there are too many people, the target is too big and easy to be discovered, and it is difficult to escape if there are fewer people, once they are surrounded, there is no life.

Seeing that everyone was worried, Yun Yun stepped forward: "Boss, leave the matter of destroying the Japanese artillery to me." It was previously observed that in order to make it easier to access, the Japanese put gunpowder and cannonballs next to them, and they were arranged in such a dense manner that they would cause a series of explosions if they found an opportunity to ignite. It's good for me to go alone, but it's easy to be exposed when there are too many people. ”

"Then how can it be done!" Zhang Hong was the first to object: "You are alone, even if you can successfully blow up the artillery, how can you escape the round-up of so many pirates?"

Yun smiled slightly: "Sister Hong, don't worry, it's not me boasting, I'm indeed a rookie in the water war, but as long as I sincerely want to run on land, there are really not many people who can catch up with me." And those gangsters are just a lot of people, in fact, they are all some rabble, and I act more calmly alone. ”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, and there was no other good way, he only considered the time of half a pillar of incense, and Lord Zhou nodded first in agreement with his plan. Then, the old man solemnly gave a deep salute: "Yun Shaoxia, you are benevolent and righteous, I won't say much about thanks." Your righteous deeds are remembered by my sailors. ”

Yun hurriedly returned the salute, and then prepared to go as planned. It was close to dawn, and it was the most exhausting time of the day. As the clouds approached, the would-be robbers didn't notice.

He reached for a sentry dozing off with a spear, and remained unnoticed until he came behind the man. So he decisively reached out and covered the sentry's mouth from behind, and the dagger pierced through the back of the heart. The would-be robber didn't even snort before heading out on the road, being quickly dragged back into the woods by the clouds.

Changing into the sentry's clothes, and simply covering his body with a tree branch, Yun picked up his big gun and walked in the direction of the cannon seemingly casually, and casually picked up a hat from the crowd to cover most of his face......

Along the way, no one noticed or questioned them, and they were not stopped until they came to the front of the artillery position. Maybe because it was an important position, the sentry on duty at night was still awake, and when he saw someone coming over and shouting loudly, he just didn't understand a word from the clouds. But he hummed yes and stepped up.

Seeing that he had not answered the question, the sentry was also alarmed, and he stretched out his sword to stop him, and reached out to pick up his hat. The spear in Yunyun's hand pierced his heart in an instant, but his screams before he died also attracted the attention of the pirates.

Seeing that his tracks had been exposed, and there was no point in continuing to hide, Yun threw his hat and inserted it into the throat of a widow. Then the spear struck, skewering through the bodies of the two sentinels. Then he quickly rushed into the artillery position, knocking over two Japanese who came to block him along the way, and successfully grabbed a torch and threw it into the powder box. Immediately after exerting all the strength of his body, he rushed out a few feet away, lay on the ground, and covered his ears
