Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

The next day, the pirates came to attack the city again, and this time, they took out explosives.

"Boom."

The city gate was shaken by the explosion, and the pirates cheered when they saw this.

But the next second, countless stones fell from the city wall. The pirates were hit by the stones before they could escape. Many of them fell down, holding their chests.

"How do they have so many trebuchets?"

The pirates didn't expect that they had secretly obtained attack tools, and there were actually catapults on the city wall of this county. Not only that, the archers on the city wall were not the same as before. These people's bows and arrows could hit one of them.

In the distance, someone suddenly opened the city gate and rushed out on horseback with the people inside. The leader was wearing armor and looked murderous.

"Oh no! The imperial court has set up an ambush in advance and is planning to deal with us... Retreat quickly."

The island owner felt uneasy and immediately ordered his men to retreat. As long as they were at sea, they would not be afraid of the imperial court.

The Jiangnan garrison does not have many ships now. Even if they have ships, they are not good at sailing and cannot deal with these people at all.

Seeing the pirates retreat, the soldiers and civilians upstairs cheered.

"Great, we won a big victory."

"We beat back the pirates."

"These pirates must have suffered heavy casualties this time."

"Thanks to Magistrate Meng. If it weren't for Magistrate Meng, we would never have been able to escape the pirates' clutches..."

County Magistrate Meng laughed as he listened to the praises from the people and soldiers.

"My fellow citizens, it's not me that's to thank, it's you who are to thank. If you hadn't prepared with us and fought against the pirates together, how could we have repelled so many pirates? Maybe the city gates would have been breached by the pirates again... Maybe our families would have died tragically at the hands of these pirates... I'm here with you, you don't have to be afraid, we will protect you. We'll be there while the city is here, and we'll be the first to die if the city is breached..."

The people were deeply moved when they heard what Magistrate Meng said.

County Magistrate Meng ordered his men to continue guarding the city tower, while he went down the city wall and returned to his temporary office. He wrote a letter and sent the message by pigeon.

County Magistrate Meng is the eldest son of the Meng family and the eldest cousin of Qin Chen. When they were exiled to the border, they did not suffer much because someone secretly protected them...

A few years ago, the emperor issued an amnesty for the Meng family and wanted to summon them back to the capital.

He was originally sent to other places to be a county magistrate, but somehow he was sent to Mingzhou. When he first came to Mingzhou, pirates came to harass him every few days, not only robbing the people's money and food, but also killing some people and kidnapping many young girls.

County Magistrate Meng vowed to crack down on pirates and restore peace to Mingzhou.

In the past two or three years, he tried every possible way and finally made the yamen runners under him stronger. Not only that, he also accepted a group of people who came here to live with their relatives, and some other people came to help train these people.

Finally, they met the pirates again. This time, they won a great victory, killing more than 500 pirates and capturing hundreds alive...

Mingzhou is now the fief of Princess Chaoan.
