Chapter 127: Breaking the Siege

The battle in the city ended soon after the rejoining of the clouds, and the officers and soldiers had already taken control of the city in a roundabout way, and seeing that there was no hope of escape, the group of pirates inspired a fierce battle to the death, and all but the leader escaped. The gangs of the two gangs also paid for more than a dozen lives, and the others were each injured.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the Japanese outside the city did not immediately attack the city, but shouted for a while and slowly retreated, while the clouds fell into deep thought. There was not a single living mouth left behind by the criminals, and it was impossible to torture them, and there was no way to verify the identity of that person.

At this moment, he squatted on the ground and looked at the small hidden weapon that sank into the ground. Who could it be? I have been walking on the rivers and lakes for a shallow time, and I don't know many people, especially young masters. And this person's kung fu is so high, and the secret weapon technique is so special.

Thinking of this person's figure in his mind, the five young men of the Tang family, the gloomy youth. After Jiangdu sent someone to plot against him, he disappeared, thinking that he had escaped suspicion, so he never paid attention to his news again. Could it be him? However, the Tang Gate is located in a remote area, and it is logically impossible for him to have any intersection with the Japanese Invaders, especially since the Tang Sect is the overlord of one side and can be regarded as the Taishan Beidou of the Central Plains Martial Arts, so how could it be possible to collude with the Japanese Invaders? After thinking about all kinds of possibilities, he ruled them out one by one. Forget it, let's take care of what's in front of you.

At this time, Lord Zhou had already arranged for his soldiers to take over the defense of the city and replace them with a rest, thinking that it would be difficult for the Japanese to launch a second sneak attack in a short time after the intention was exposed, so the second half of the night passed peacefully.

The next morning, Yun was awakened by the sound of shouting, and he got up with a grunt, thinking that the would-be robbers had started attacking again, and quickly packed up and pushed the door open. But I saw many soldiers and people raising their arms and shouting, and their faces were obviously excited and happy, and they couldn't help but be stunned. Grabbed a young man passing by and asked, "What's the matter, brother?

The young man smiled and shouted, "The widows have retreated, we are saved!"

The wolf retreated, and the clouds were confused for a while, and hurriedly ran to the city. At this time, Lord Zhou, Lord Liu, Hailong, Zhang Hong and others were already standing at the head of the city and looking into the distance, with smiles on their faces.

Seeing the clouds coming, Zhang Hong didn't shy away from hugging him, and even jumped up and shouted loudly: "The widows have retreated, we have won!"

Looking at the clouds and still having some doubts, Lord Zhou stepped forward: "The Japanese did retreat, in the morning there was a distant cannon sound in the direction of the port, and a large area of smoke rose, it may be that the fleet of the sailors has arrived." ”

"Didn't you say that it would take at least six or seven days to get here?" asked Yun in confusion.

"Well, probably because of the change in the direction of the wind, the fleet was smooth, plus the sleepless rush, so it arrived early. If the sea is blocked by the naval division, it is equivalent to cutting off their retreat, and once the army arrives, they will be trapped and killed on land, so now the Japanese are hurrying to retreat. ”

"Shall we open the city and chase after it?" asked his officer.

The old man looked around at the people around him and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, first, I am afraid that I will fall for the plan of the Japanese to divert the tiger from the mountain." The second is that our losses are too serious, and there are only 100 people who can still maintain their combat effectiveness, which will not play a big role, so let's stick to the city. ”

Half a day later, the veteran's anticipation was confirmed. The port direction was led by a large group of men and horses, led by his lieutenant general. Everyone hurriedly opened the city gate, and the general was startled by the scene in front of him, expecting that the defense of the city would be very miserable, but he did not expect it to be so miserable. The walls were riddled with holes, cracks in many places, and they were about to collapse. Half a mile from the city walls, all the buildings were burned to the ground......

Looking at the people in front of him, they were ragged and covered in blood, and many people could only stand firm by supporting each other, and when nearly a thousand brothers came, there were only more than 100 people left at the moment, and each of them was injured. The adjutant general's eyes turned red in an instant, and he hurriedly turned over and knelt down in front of Lord Zhou, choked up and said, "My lord, my subordinates should be damned!

Lord Zhou helped him up with an intact arm, and his voice trembled: "It's not too late, you have suffered a lot on the way here." ”

Hearing the boss's comforting words, the deputy general burst into tears and said bitterly: "The subordinates are incompetent, so most of the widows have escaped, please punish the lord!"

Master Zhou patted him on the shoulder: "You have done a good job, after all, the difference in numbers is too great, and you have been running for a long time, and you can solve the difficulties of Qingshui County, and the goal has basically been achieved." Now the priority is to rescue the wounded and settle the homeless people, and the rest of the people will come to Japan. ”

The deputy general was relieved, solemnly saluted again, and took his subordinates busy. Yun also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and suddenly felt soreness and weakness all over his body. I have been haggard for the past few days, and it is not too much to spend my days like a year, but now I suddenly relaxed, and I almost sat down on the ground. Looking back at the people around him, almost all of them were like this, although they had survived the catastrophe, they couldn't see any joy on their faces......

A day later, Zhao Youde and his team were late. After seeing the boss, his face was impassioned, and he had the posture of dying with the widows.

The veteran was so disgusted with his face that he couldn't add anything to it, but coldly said that he would report the matter to the court as it was, and then turned around and left, leaving Zhao Youde there in a sneer.

That Zhao Youde saw that he was not welcomed, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he only stayed for less than half an hour and went back to the barracks. And the aftermath work is still in full swing with the officers and men of the water division.

After resting for another three days, most of everyone's physical strength had recovered, and the injuries on their bodies could not be healed in a moment, so they embarked on the return journey on the battleship.

Yun and Zhang Hong were in the same boat, seeing that nearly half of the brothers who came together were killed or injured, Zhang Hong couldn't help but feel depressed, and Yun didn't know how to persuade him. So along the way, I returned to the base camp of the fishing gang in this oppressive atmosphere.

The next day, Lord Zhou asked his subordinates to send a large number of silver taels, saying that it was a compensatory for the dead and injured brothers of the fishing gang, and if the court had other rewards, they would continue to send them. Zhang Hong silently accepted it, and asked the treasury to take out the same amount and distribute it to the families of the dead brothers. For a while, the fishermen fell into a sad atmosphere, burning paper, praying for blessings, and the fire continued to shine every night......

After staying in the fishing gang for a few days, Yun Yun is ready to go back. One is that the fishing gang is in a mess now, and I really can't help much. The second is that I have been away for too long, and I am afraid that my brothers and Xiaoxiao will be worried. So he came to bid farewell to Zhang Hong early the next morning.

Zhang Hong is busy these days, and he really has no mood to entertain the clouds. Seeing that he was leaving, he didn't stay, but just told him to move around more when he had time......

Sending the cloud to the door, one of his subordinates came in a panic. Zhang Hongyi frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What's the matter? Why is it in such a hurry, and are there any rules?"

The big man hurriedly came over to give a salute: "Helper, something has happened! The Haisha Gang has been sealed, and Hailong has been imprisoned." I heard that the evidence was conclusive, and I would be beheaded at a later date. ”

Zhang Hong's eyes were dark, and he almost sat on the ground. Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Sister Hong, don't worry, the matter is still unclear, Brother Hailong is fine for the time being, let's discuss it and see if there is a chance to help him get rid of his crimes." ”

Zhang Hong came back to his senses and hurriedly asked his subordinates about the specific situation. But the subordinates also don't know about it, but they just said that they heard that the Haisha Gang colluded with the Japanese Bandits, and now that the case has occurred, the first offender, Hailong, is in custody, and the other accomplices are at large. The yamen has already issued an official document on sea fishing and is being wanted, but the rest is not clear.

Seeing that they couldn't get any exact news, Yun and Zhang Hong immediately rushed to the base camp of the Haisha Gang. After a day and a night of non-stop travel, we finally arrived early the next morning.

At this time, the Haisha Gang no longer had the lively scene of people coming and going, with seals on the gates, and some people walking back and forth, constantly scanning the passing crowd, as if they could find something in the sea of people.

Zhang Hong was at a loss and didn't know who to go to. While he was hesitating, a half-grown child peeked out of the alley and whispered, "Is this sister the leader of the Fishing Gang?"

Zhang Hong nodded hurriedly, and the kid waved his hand and called them over to continue: "My brother is also a member of the Haisha Gang, and the big brother of the sea wolf is hiding in my house. My brother asked me to wait here, saying that you have an extraordinary relationship with Brother Hailong, and you will definitely come over. Come with me!" he said, leading the two of them towards the depths of the alley.
