It takes ten days to travel from Glass Island to Songhu by water.

Lin Zhaiyi was found by the messenger sent by Captain Zhao in the last two days, and learned that Zheng Yuannai had adjusted his marching and deployment strategy.

After reading the letter, he immediately laughed out loud:

"Zheng Yuannai, I can see that you are really trying hard to stop me! If so, I will stop you at the cost of your life!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the entire fleet, "Turn around and land at Shadong Fort!"

Shadong Fort is the central troop deployment point of the entire Songhu coastal defense line.

When Lu Laojiu heard the news, he hurried over to dissuade him:

"Captain, we can't just rush in all at once. If there's a trick, we'll all be wiped out!"

Lin Zhai's hot-blooded mind suddenly became clearer, and he called together several other small leaders to discuss countermeasures.

After some discussion, everyone agreed that the possibility of this being a fraud was very low.

After all, they still had some understanding of the situation in Songhu. Those thousand households were not good generals who were dedicated to the public.

As soon as Zheng Yuannai arrived, he treated the soldiers well and sidelined the thousand households, so it was inevitable that the two sides would become enemies.

For those captains of the garrisons, letting Zheng Yuannai be captured by these Japanese pirates in exchange for a general was much more cost-effective than lending their full support.

Therefore, Shadongbao is a must-go!

The others were very determined, except for Lu Laojiu who was worried.

Lin Zhai patted his shoulder and said confidently:

"What is there to be afraid of? We have so many farm slaves with us. Let them go first! If anything goes wrong, we can turn around and run away in our warships. The guards don't even have a decent warship. How can they catch up with us?"

When Lu Laojiu thought about it, it did make sense.

They drove the field slaves to charge in front, and the entire team had five or six hundred people, with a huge momentum.

This number is one of the largest in the battle between the Japanese pirates and the government army.

If there was an ambush in Shadong Fort, they would definitely come out in full force, but with those farm slaves blocking the way, they would have enough time to escape.

If there was no ambush, they would naturally not miss this great opportunity to capture the main general and rush directly into Songhu City to burn, kill and loot.

"Okay! Then let's do as the leader tells us!"

Lu Laojiu was also full of heroic spirit.

"Grab your weapons and get on the boat!"

The lower cabin suddenly opened, and a large group of Japanese pirates rushed in with weapons.

Zhong Sanlang and others were locked up in the dim lower cabin for several days. Although they could eat about 60% to 70% full every day and did not have to do heavy work, it was slightly better than when they were doing hard labor on the manor.

But everyone knew that this was because the Japanese pirates wanted them to charge into battle and risk their lives to clear the way.

Now that they are allowed to disembark, it means that the war is not far away.

They could be killed by government troops at any time.

Many people's faces were filled with sadness and despair.

"Farm slaves! It's time for you to perform meritorious deeds! When we get ashore, rush forward!"

"I will kill anyone who dares to look back!"

The leader of the Japanese pirates raised a sharp Japanese sword and shouted fiercely.

Then, whether they were willing or not, these people were stuffed with inferior, not-so-sharp weapons in their hands, forced onto small boats, and rowed towards the shore under the threat of the pirates' bows and arrows.

The drums on the warships behind them had already started beating, and the Japanese pirates all stood on the deck, making strange noises.

The view on the sea was wide, and they could see from a distance that smoke signals had already risen from the government troops ahead.

As the boat approached the coast, the sound of a charge horn was heard from the shore.

As soon as they got off the boat, dozens of archers rushed out from the woods by the sea, pointing their bows at them menacingly.

An officer with a very loud voice stood up and shouted:

"The Wei army is here! All good people, surrender immediately. The army will not hurt you at all! But if you disobey orders and continue to move forward, you will be killed without mercy!"
