Chapter 816 each with a purpose
Ma San angrily stretched out his hand and patted the young man's hand away, then looked around at his companions around him, and said in a very serious tone: "Don't worry about how unbelievable what I said, just remember , I will not take my life as a joke, nor will I think of harming you! In short, you believe me, I dare to swear to God, what I say is true, after this matter is done, when you reach the shore, you will You will believe what I say is true!"

Seeing Scarface, he looked serious, and finally nodded first and said: "Brother Ma San, I believe you!"

"Brother Ma San, my life is yours, so do whatever you say!" The young man followed suit.

Several other people looked at each other, thinking about Ma San's past behavior and performance, they finally nodded.

When Ma San saw him, he couldn't help being overjoyed.It is impossible for him to save people by himself, but with these seven or eight brothers, he is sure to fight.So, the few of them immediately started planning to save lives.

In winter, the daytime is very short, and it will be evening soon, and it will be dark in half an hour.On a remote coast, densely packed ships suddenly approached, and these were naturally the pirates brought by Xu Xiang.

The pirates were making a lot of noise, and the small boats were put down from the big ship to land, and those small boats drove to the shore, throwing people ashore one by one.All of a sudden, there was a commotion here.Even if Xu Xiang had ordered that no sound be made, the noise could not be suppressed.

Not long after, a team of Xu Xiang's confidantes rushed to a nearby hilltop as soon as they landed, and saw two civilians falling down inside the lookout post set up here, and they were already dead. , just feel relieved.

This place is not far from the county seat, and therefore, the government has sent a lookout post here, and if there is any movement, fireworks will be set off to send a message to the county seat.The safety signal was given, and the number of pirates on the coast continued to increase.Xu Xiang looked at these on his flagship, feeling extremely happy.

You know, although there are many others, it is not easy to conquer the county.This time, if he can cooperate with the inside and outside to conquer a county, not only will he be able to rob a lot of property and a lot of people, but it will also greatly enhance Liu Xiang's prestige.In this way, his strength will definitely become stronger and stronger!
When it was getting dark, the pirates who were supposed to go ashore had already gone ashore. The coastline of this area was densely packed with pirates with swords and guns, standing randomly without a formation.But pirates are like this, and it is impossible to expect to form an army.Xu Xiang didn't care about it either, and ordered to march towards the county seat after checking the time.

At the same time, on the official road more than ten miles away from the county seat, teams of officers and soldiers were also hurrying on their way.It can be seen that these officers and soldiers are all tall and tall, and a large "Liu" character is embroidered on the banner of the leader.This army is exactly Sun Chuanting's direct descendant, Liu Daneng's Northern Army.

"Report, this place is still fifteen miles away from the county seat." A man came back on a fast horse at night and reported to Liu Daneng who was riding on the horse, "There are no traces of pirates found in the county seat yet."

Upon hearing this, Liu Daneng turned his head to look at the team behind him, frowned slightly, and ordered the whole army to rest temporarily.

"Master, could it be that the pirates didn't come here?" One of his personal guards speculated.In this way, not to mention that there is no chance to make meritorious service, it would be a waste of time, what a bad luck!

Liu Daneng was also a little annoyed when he heard this.Previously, Sun Zhongcheng estimated that the most likely possibility for the Xu Xiang pirates was to attack this county.Therefore, he was sent here, while Sun Zhongcheng led other miscellaneous troops to supervise the battle in person, and went to rescue another county that might be attacked.

He looked up at the sky, it was going to be dark soon.However, the moon is big enough to travel in the dark, but the county town is definitely not allowed to enter, so I have to camp outside to make do with the night.

Just as he was thinking this way, another rider suddenly came galloping regardless of the darkness of the sky, rolled his saddle and fell off the horse as soon as he got under the commander's flag, and reported with a little excitement: "I found traces of pirates three miles away from the county seat. It is estimated that there are as many as seven or eight thousand people!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited. It seemed that this trip was not in vain.Even Liu Daneng's personal guards stood up immediately, ready to set off.

But who knows, after Liu Daneng was similarly excited, he didn't immediately order the rescue, but continued to sit there without moving, and just ordered Ye Bubu in front of him: "Investigate again!"

Ye Bu received the order and left immediately.But his personal guard was puzzled, and quickly reminded Liu Daneng: "Master, we are still a little way away from the county seat, we have to leave early to arrive in time."

When Liu Daneng heard this, he glanced at him and said, "What's the hurry, don't let the brothers rest, how can we start a war with twice as many enemies?"

When Qin Wei heard this, he was about to say that the brothers were in good condition and should not be tired, but when he saw Liu Daneng's expression, he thought of something, so he shut up.

Indeed, as far as the current state of Liu Daneng's army is concerned, there is still room to spare.However, Liu Daneng had a secret order from Sun Chuanting, he remembered clearly that Sun Zhongcheng had explained before he left that the county should be rescued, but the key point was to inflict heavy damage on Liu Xiang, the pirates.

Taking advantage of Zheng Zhilong's absence, Liu Xiang also went to Nanyang with Frangji and the Dutch. No one suppressed him and annexed other small pirates. His strength grew a lot and he became the biggest pirate along the coast of Daming.Judging from today's events, this Xu Xiang is a ruthless person who will never be recruited by the court, and he is also eyeing the fat after Kaihai.If you want to open the sea smoothly and allow merchants to trade from south to north with peace of mind, Xu Xiang must be eliminated!

This time he came out in full force, and it was a good opportunity to wipe him out on the shore.How could a ruthless person like Sun Chuanting be content to obediently listen to Emperor Chongzhen's words and just rescue the county.Therefore, he did not send a messenger in advance to alert the county.Otherwise, the courier's speed is definitely much faster than the army's marching speed.

After discovering the traces of the pirates, the number of people reporting news increased a lot. They came and went, and news reported to Liu Daneng from time to time.Liu Daneng controlled the marching speed of the army according to the progress of the pirates in the county.

On the night of New Year's Eve, there are occasional sounds of setting off firecrackers in the county.On this day, the curfew was also postponed than before.There are also many more lights in the county than before at the same time.Laughter and laughter sounded from time to time, making the county under the night a little more popular and peaceful.

On the top of the south gate of the county seat, two lanterns were suddenly hung side by side, which was obviously different from the other lanterns hung a couple of feet apart.
