The rise of the poor

Chapter 1869 You stay behind
Fearing what would come, the Japanese pirates were about to retreat when they heard a sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance.

From a distance, I saw two teams of Zhejiang troops approaching quickly on mules and horses.

These two Zhejiang army teams were the Zhejiang army teams cruising not far away. After seeing the fireworks signal, they quickly came to support.

Those closest to them will arrive first.

Behind them is the Zhejiang army team that had previously evacuated. They reined in their horses and stopped not far away, loading ammunition on the firecrackers and spare barrels on horseback.After loading the gunpowder, they will sweep again.

"Damn!"

The face of the Japanese pirates couldn't help but change. Although there were few people from the Zhejiang army, once they were entangled by these small groups of Zhejiang troops, it would definitely affect their retreat plan. You must know that the army of the Zhejiang army is coming soon.

"You can't be restrained by the Zhejiang Army squad to retreat, or you will be surrounded by the Zhejiang Army!"

Xu Hai and others clearly realized this.

"You, you, you, you, you guys stay behind and stop the pursuers, and the rest follow us to evacuate."

Without further ado, Xu Hai stretched out his hand to circle a group of Japanese pirates, ordering them to stay in the rear and block the Zhejiang army team that was chasing them.

"Ah?! Why us?"

The Japanese pirates who were circled by Xu Hai suddenly fell from the sky, and they couldn't help sighing and protesting out of luck.

"Why you? There is no reason. Take your orders. The governor will not let you sacrifice in vain. You only need to stop the Zhe army for a quarter of an hour. After returning to Tuolin's lair, each person can receive 300 taels of silver, an extra level. This governor will do what he says, if he breaks his promise at all, let this governor go through his heart with a thousand arrows and die!"

Xu Hai glanced at them like a falcon, and said without a doubt that in order to boost their morale, he even swore a blood oath to reward them.

Xu Hai will never break his promise. Of course, he also knows that there will not be a few of these Japanese pirates who can go back to their lair to receive the reward.

"Boss Xu's words are our words, 300 taels of silver reward, promotion to the first level, we will never break our promise, you can rest assured to accept orders."

Both Chen Dong and Ma Ye followed suit, repeating Xu Hai's blood oath of great reward.

The pirates in Xu Hai's circle include not only the pirates under Xu Hai's command, but also the pirates under Chen Dong and Maye's command.

They are an alliance of Japanese pirates. Although Xu Hai is vaguely headed, Xu Hai cannot directly command the Japanese pirates under Chen Dong and Maye's command.

"Wow, it's 300 taels, and you've been promoted to the first level. When you return to Tuolin's lair, you will be our little leaders."

The rest of the Japanese pirates said half with emotion and half with sarcastic remarks.

"Envy us? Then trade with me."

"Boss, why don't you change to someone else, we, we are willing to abdicate for Xian."

The Japanese pirates in the circle said unwillingly, they were unwilling to take orders as the queen, and wanted to struggle again.

They also knew in their hearts that they had almost no chance of surviving in the face of the Zhe army by staying in the queen's palace, and staying in the queen's palace was almost equivalent to waiting for death.

Although Xu Hai and the others promised a generous reward of 300 taels, and they could be promoted to the first level, they had to be ordered to receive the reward.If there is no life, no matter how much money is rewarded, no matter how thick the reward is, you will not be able to receive it.

So, they want to struggle a bit.

Xu Hai walked over with a gloomy face, without further ado, drew out the Japanese sword and hacked to death the Japanese pirate who talked the most.

"Noisy! Our words are orders, whoever insists on it, this is the end! Carry it out!"

Xu Hai shook the Japanese saber, knocked the blood off the saber, put the saber back into its sheath, and said expressionlessly.

All the pirates were silent like cicadas.

The Japanese pirates in the circle didn't dare to force them any more, so they had to obediently stay behind. There was no other way, the situation was out of control.If they disobeyed, they would be hacked to death on the spot, and those who obediently stayed behind to stop them still had a chance.

One point for extra life is one point, so I had to leave behind.

Moreover, they glanced at each other, and they all knew that they would not foolishly block for a quarter of an hour. When Xu Hai and the others walked away, they would withdraw, so they would not foolishly act as scapegoats.

"Evacuate!" Time waits for no one, Xu Hai once again looked at the pirates after the end, waved his hand, and led the rest of the pirates to evacuate to the river bank.

Although their Japanese boats were all burnt down, there was a bridge a few miles along the river bank. They could cross the river and go southeast through the bridge to return to Tuolin's lair by land.

Although it is not as fast and safe as the sea route, the distance by land is short, and if you hurry, you can reach Tuolin's lair in one day.

Chen Dong was also supported by two Japanese pirates, and under the protection of a group of trusted Japanese pirates, he withdrew with Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates.

Before Xu Hai and the others had gone far, the two Zhejiang army teams chasing after them had rushed to less than 50 meters away.

The Japanese pirates in the back of the palace held up their Japanese swords and bit the bullet to meet them.

The soldiers of the Zhejiang army who rushed forward rode their horses into a long snake formation, reined in the mules and horses, raised their guns and aimed at the Japanese pirates who rushed forward.

The soldiers of the Zhejiang Army haven't been trained for a long time, and they can't fire on horseback while maintaining a fairly high hit rate.They can only stop shooting, so as to maintain a certain hit rate.

"bang bang bang"

A series of dense firecrackers sounded with a burst of gunpowder smoke.

The Japanese pirates rushing forward from the back of the palace screamed and fell down seven or eight people. This is because the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army did not have a high hit rate with the firecrackers on the backs of mules and horses. In this round of [-] rounds of gunfire, at least twice as many Japanese pirates will fall.

"Baga, disperse, disperse, don't want to be a live target, don't stand so densely!" The Japanese pirate commanded by the rear was a real Japanese, and suddenly thought of a countermeasure, commanding a group of Japanese pirates to disperse.

Sure enough, after the Japanese pirates dispersed, the two Zhejiang army teams changed the barrels and fired again. A round of salvo only shot down three Japanese pirates.

"Yaoxi, Yaoxi, that's it, spread out a little more, rush up, eat them, and then we are going to retreat."

Seeing that the dispersal tactics worked, Zhenwa, who was commanding the rear, was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to command the Japanese pirates to disperse a little more, took the lead, and charged up with the Japanese sword.

A group of Japanese pirates in the back hall heard that they could retreat after eating this Zhejiang army, they ignited the hope of surviving, and rushed up screaming.

"Retreat, withdraw first, and join the brothers behind." The two Zhejiang army teams had already used up their spare barrels, and the firecrackers were equivalent to burning fire sticks.

Seeing the retreat of the two Zhejiang army squads, the Japanese pirates in the rear were even more excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The Zhejiang army was scared away by us, hahaha, that's all.

The Japanese pirates at the back of the palace rushed more and more courageously.

"My lord has said that when you shoot a man, you shoot the horse first, and when you capture the thief, you first capture the king. Brothers, have you seen that Japanese pirate with half armor behind him? That's the commander. Focus on killing him."

After the two Zhejiang army teams retreated to the original Zhejiang army team that had evacuated, they pointed to the real Japanese not far away, and reminded them who had already loaded the gunpowder.
