Xu Xiang could also see clearly. Under the light of torches in the distance, he could see the clothes of the officers and soldiers. This time, he was dumbfounded.

So many officers and soldiers came with great momentum, but half of his men had already entered the city, and the remaining half were also eager to enter the city. Xu Xiang saw this situation clearly and couldn't help but scolded her in her heart. It's not good to show up at any time, but it happened at this time. This is fatal!

Speaking of which, Xu Xiang must have something special about being able to mix among many pirates until now, and has been able to mix with the biggest pirate. I saw him yelling: "The wind is tight, get out!"

After shouting, he turned around and ran away without caring about his men in the city. When his men saw him, they immediately turned around and ran away. They were all very decisive and showed no hesitation at all.

Liu Daneng was leading the army in a hurry when he suddenly saw this situation and was stunned. He only brought more than two thousand men, but the pirates had thousands of men. Now that these pirates outside are running away without any hesitation, how should I make a decision?

At this time, Liu Daneng's disadvantage of not being a regular officer was revealed. He hesitated for a while, looked at the thieves running towards the beach under the night, then turned around to look at the scene of flames blazing into the sky, and was stunned again, and finally The troops were ordered to be divided into two groups, with the main force rescuing the county town and annihilating the pirates in the county town with all their strength. The small force used bluff to drive away the pirates who escaped outside.

That night, there was no sleep for dozens of miles around the county seat.

I don’t know how many families are separated from each other on this New Year’s Eve, their families are broken up, and the white-haired people give away their black-haired people; I don’t know how many pirates are so happy that they are sad, and they hate themselves for why they have such long legs and why they run so fast! They were all like headless flies, running around trying to avoid being annihilated by the army.

Xu Xiang fled back to the ship in one breath, and then finally regained his composure.

He is self-aware of this. When he reaches the shore, he can only use half of his strength at most. In such a chaotic situation just now, his orders could not be passed down effectively, but the officers and soldiers came unexpectedly, and even cavalry troops could be seen. They must be Sun Chuanting's general who suppressed thieves, Liu Daneng's troops. . Those northerners are all strong and strong, just a head taller in height. If they really had to fight hard, I don’t know if they could win, but one thing is for sure, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced!

Turning around, he saw that in the dark night, his men were still clambering onto the boat, while far away on the shore, the Ming army was shouting to come and kill them. After a little observation, Xu Xiang found that the number of officers and soldiers was not large, and the main force must have gone to rescue the county. That's not bad, at least half of his men came back. As for the other subordinates, it is certainly impossible for them all to be captured by the army. Placing some ships waiting here can gather many subordinates.

But no matter what, I really lost a lot of money on this trip! Xu Xiang was furious. He never imagined that with such good conditions, he could get the county town right away. All his men had already entered the city. Why did Liu Daneng's army just arrive! Is it such a coincidence?

He didn't believe that while Sun Chuanting sent people to pretend to appease him, he also thought that he would go ashore and was sure to come and rob the county. Damn it, it’s New Year’s Eve, don’t northerners celebrate the New Year?

Xu Xiang just wanted to go crazy thinking about it! But things had already happened, and he had no choice but to wait until almost all of his men who had escaped with him had boarded the ship, and then left some empty ships in the waters before leading his men back.

"Damn it, before I leave, I should kill a dog official to sacrifice the flag to avoid bad luck!" Xu Xiang finally looked at the torches on the shore, cursed loudly, then turned around and entered the cabin, doing something out of sight. net.

…

Near the dock of Xu Xiang's old nest, although he was in a desperate situation, Hong Yunzong was not panicked. After thinking for a moment, he stopped Kang Chengzu from speaking and asked Ma San in a low voice: "Where is the arsenal on this island? What is the security situation? ?”

"Arsenal?" Ma San asked in confusion upon hearing this.

When Hong Yunzheng heard this, he immediately explained: "It's a gunpowder store. Did you know? Anyone who is a pirate must have gunpowder stored."

Although most of the pirate ships at this time still focused on springboard warfare, they were basically equipped with artillery, kerosene, etc. Gunpowder was an indispensable item for pirates.

As soon as Ma San heard this, he understood Hong Yunzong's intention, and couldn't help but frown and replied: "We know where the gunpowder magazine is, but even now, there must be many people guarding it. It is absolutely impossible to sneak in secretly!"

After hearing this, Hong Yunzheng turned to look at the two generals and their guards behind him, then turned back and said: "There are a lot of thieves here at the dock. We calculate that we can force board the ship, but they can also follow us." Even if they are chased by boats, they can't escape. If we can light the gunpowder magazine and make a big noise, we will definitely attract the thieves on the dock side. When the time comes, we can kill the other boats and burn them, and we will be sure to sail away. "

Upon hearing this, Ma San thought for a while, looked at the two generals and their elite guards, and nodded in agreement. He believed that if his brothers, together with these officers and soldiers, could sneak attack the gunpowder depot, the chances of success would indeed be greater than forcing them to board the ship now.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of ​​taking only Lord Hong and a few people away, and ordered Scarface and the young man to stay here to protect Hong Yunzheng and Kang Chengzu, while he himself took the remaining brothers and officers and soldiers again. Touched it out.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. Kang Chengzu couldn't help but become anxious again. He whispered worriedly in a low voice: "What are you doing to eat? Why haven't you succeeded after so long? If this delays things, how can you get it..."

"Shut up!" Hong Yunzheng heard this and shouted in a low voice, "The soldiers are risking their lives to get us a chance to escape, but you sit here and enjoy the results. Do you still have the face to complain?"

At this time, the official rank was useful, and Kang Chengzu was in the wrong. Although he was not convinced, he kept silent.

Scarface looked at this scene, and although he was a little resentful of Kang Chengzu, he was more grateful to Hong Yunzong. He felt that it was worth it for people like him to save Master Hong with their lives!

I don't know how long it took, but when Kang Chengzu was anxious and a little impatient, he suddenly saw fire flashing in the distance, and then heard an earth-shattering explosion. There was a "boom", and it felt like the earth was shaking.

When Kang Chengzu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said quickly: "We succeeded, hurry up, let's go quickly!"

There are still 11 items due, half of which have been paid off, we will continue tomorrow. Thanks to the Kingdom of Decay, for the always tiring reward!
