Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Luo Jing did not get the battle report of the fall of the Guangzhou Navy until the evening of the second day.

At that time, Emperor Zhenyuan was still reviewing the memorials. After dealing with the government affairs, he ignored some greetings. It was the eunuch Dongsheng who said a few words: "Your Majesty, yesterday you also asked about the Zhenbeihou Mansion. How is the old matriarch's health? This is not today, and Marshal Zhu handed over a note of thanks, saying that the old matriarch is in good health, so he specially handed over the note to thank His Majesty for sending the imperial physician to give him good medicine."

"Oh?"

The emperor who had already got up sat down again. The eunuch Dongsheng understood what was on his mind, and specially placed the old marshal's thank-you note at the top of this type of note, and at this time quickly handed it to His Majesty the emperor. Showing a smiling face, he said comfortably: "That's good."

Seeing that he was happy, Eunuch Dongsheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you haven't used much for dinner yet, and the servant has someone prepare some shark fin porridge, why don't you use some more?"

Emperor Zhenyuan only felt a big appetite, so he agreed.It's just that he was destined to not be able to eat a full meal this time. As soon as the shark's fin porridge arrived, Anshou hurriedly informed that the Guangzhou Navy was defeated. Fight bravely!Emperor Zhenyuan put down his porridge bowl, only then did he realize that these pirates were not only good at water warfare, but also not weak at land warfare.Immediately, he thought of the people standing behind these pirates, and frowned: "Xuanzhao the commander of the forbidden army, Marshal Zhu, the household department, the military department, and the military aircraft department, urgent discussion!"

Eunuch Dongsheng went quickly.

Here, Luo Jing responded urgently. Over there, Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng had already ordered the people Zhu Dingbei buried in the navy to deal with urgently, and the people from the head of the Ning family fully assisted, and also ordered Lou Chuan to speed up again. The Ningjialou ship, which was so fast that its performance was excellent, also swayed violently, bobbing and sinking on the sea.

But all of this failed to save the decline of the Guangzhou Army in the first place.

The Guangzhou garrison is dominated by sailors, while the inner city soldiers are mostly regular soldiers and government servants from counties and counties.

Lanlu, Guangzhou State Shepherd, and Zhou Fengyong, the deputy commander of the garrison, confronted the enemy, but the most powerful naval commander was inexplicably missing. Not to mention his life and death, the navy along the coast was even entangled by pirates, and they returned like the soldiers in Jingzhou who asked for help. It will take a day to arrive, and when the reinforcements arrive, there are also good and bad. We can only postpone the situation. Lanzhou Mu and Deputy Commander Zhou are so devastated that they cannot sleep peacefully.

Day and night to discuss countermeasures, but there is no way to stop the enemy's footsteps.

"My lord, the deputy commander, has already reached the Golden Crow City! The general of the Golden Crow City has sent two distress signals of being invincible. What should I do?"

They had already increased their troops in Golden Crow City once, and now they came to ask for help again, indicating that their combat power was weak again. Under the next situation, they could only send more troops and use crowd tactics to slow down the enemy's pace and buy time.Deputy Marshal Zhou and Lanzhou Mu discussed it, and once again ordered people to urgently dispatch troops for reinforcements, and waited for his subordinates to lead away before they continued the discussion: "We can't wait for reinforcements, we must save ourselves! Master Zhou Mu, don't delay Now, we must order the young and strong to replenish our troops and defend the city together!"

Blue Deer looked at the steward of the Ning family who was also participating in the discussion, and said: "Yes, this matter is imminent. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the family and the country. Master Ning, please help me."

"My lord, please don't worry, the Ning family has already counted the young and strong available to the family and the caravan, a total of 2 people, as long as the lord and the deputy commander give an order, they can act immediately!"

"The Ning family knows the general principles. I would like to thank the Ning family for your majesty's help. After the war, I will definitely..."

"Master State Shepherd, you are too famous."

The head of the Ning family interrupted his subsequent compliments in a flattering manner. Lanzhou Mu, who had become a habit of drawing big cakes, suddenly realized that now was not the time to discuss meritorious deeds in the future, so he immediately ordered the Ning family to reinforce him.

The reason why Golden Crow City is named Golden Crow is because it has the highest terrain among the cities along the coast of Nanhai County, as if it is the first city here to see the rising sun and be the closest to the sun, hence the name.The terrain of Golden Crow City allowed him to occupy a powerful position that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. This was also the reason why Lanzhou Mu and Deputy Marshal Zhou spared no effort to invest troops in order to keep Golden Crow City.The first few cities are located in the Haikou Plain, with a flat terrain that can be seen at a glance. With such a huge disparity in combat power, it is impossible to defend even if it is defended.

The 1000 Ning family members plus the additional [-] soldiers from the inner city, as well as the young and strong civilians who kept showing signs, made Golden Crow City breathe a sigh of relief.Deputy Marshal Zhou also came to defend the city in person. Looking down from the high slope, the [-] men sent to disperse the enemy's forward failed to complete the task. They were killed in less than an hour. Approaching again.

"Fire arrows!"

As soon as he entered the range, Deputy Commander Zhou shouted orders.

The sky was full of arrows, but the enemy army was already prepared, and the general of the pirates shouted: "Shield up! Press in!"

Three rows of vanguards raised their shields, and the rain of arrows coming from three heights successfully blocked the shields. When one fell down, the other immediately added a new shield, without hesitation.

"Change the rocket!"

Seeing that the lethality of the arrows was greatly reduced, Deputy Commander Zhou immediately ordered to replace them with flaming arrows.And soon a director of the Ning family hurried over to offer a suggestion, using gunpowder packs to make simple fire mines and throw them.Vice Marshal Zhou was overjoyed when he saw that the Ning family provided a lot of gunpowder for free. After the rocket was shot, ordinary arrows were tied with gunpowder bags and smashed down, finally causing a large-scale bombardment and successfully blocking the pirates' footsteps!

The initial victory did not make Vice Marshal Zhou dizzy. Having tasted the sweetness, he grabbed the head of the Ning family and asked, "How much gunpowder is left, and how long can we last?"

"My lord, deputy commander, is already checking the warehouse. The gunpowder is the gunpowder powder commissioned by the Ning family to supply the firecrackers and fireworks in Yangguang and Guangzhou, so the tonnage should last for a while. The mansion has already Order people to hurry up."

The manager of the Ning family sought truth from facts, and then explained a lot, so that no one who didn't have a good eye would think that the Ning family had hidden gunpowder and punished him afterwards.

Deputy Marshal Zhou didn't understand the thoughts of the steward of Ning's family immediately, and rolled his eyes and said, "Then are there any firecrackers that have been made?"

"The end of the year is approaching, and everyone has already sat up. There should be quite a few made by the Ning family and the official family."

Deputy Marshal Zhou was overjoyed, and only waited until Haikou replaced the forward army that had opened the way for Lei Lei, and ordered the cavalry behind to enter the field.Sure enough, the gunpowder attack made the pirates anxious, and ordered the cavalry to rush into the city, but when they approached the high slope, a large piece of firecrackers was suddenly thrown on the slope. After the explosion, the damage was not great, but it frightened the cavalry horses In confusion, many cavalrymen were thrown off their horses, and those who could not escape were killed by their own horseshoes before the Dajing Army could make a move.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Golden Crow City felt very happy, and their morale, which had been sluggish, cheered up.

That's why Deputy Commander Zhou knew that these begging tricks were only to slow down the enemy's footsteps, but he still had to spend a lot of time. The enemy was in a mess, and the soldiers felt less fearful when they saw it happily.

But no matter what, an immeasurable number of pirates are still approaching the city.

The city had prepared hot water for a long time, and after throwing arrows and stones, when there were more and more pirates attacking the city wall, Deputy Commander Zhou immediately ordered the boiling water to pour down again and again, forcing the enemy to retreat after killing their prestige. , Deputy Commander Zhou pursued and fought fiercely, loaded the artillery, and attacked and killed!

Seeing that the enemy army could not be stopped, Deputy Commander Zhou personally led the army out of the city to meet the battle.

The situation intensified.

While the defenders of Golden Crow City were fighting to the death, the people Zhu Dingbei buried in the navy had already moved.They were not born in the navy, and they also trained and practiced the art of war with Zhu Dingbei's earliest elite soldiers.It can be said that they were eliminated from the training of that batch of elite soldiers.Zhu Dingbei trusted them and was unwilling to give up on them, so when he came up with the idea of ​​laying out a retreat for the navy, he placed them in the navy.

Even if they were eliminated by the elite soldiers, compared to the general navy and marine corps, their individual strength is not inferior to that of the pirates, so they quickly pulled out from the navy and led the assembled 5000 People, mess up the rear of the pirates landing in Guangzhou.

Nanhai City, the first city in Haikou, Nanhai County, has been occupied by pirates.Zhu Dingbei's soldiers did not choose Nanhai City to strike, but Bohai City among the five fallen cities.Sandwiched in the center of pirate defense, this place is not as fortified as South Sea City, which responds to pirates on the water, and it is not as abundant as the pirates who invaded Golden Crow City. The defense here is relatively the worst, but apart from accidents, it is also the most attractive place. The place where the pirates spread their forces before and after to quell the turmoil.

Five thousand soldiers sneaked into Bohai City secretly. Dozens of them were trained as scouts at first, and they were skilled in assassination. It is most suitable for them to sneak in and capture the pirate leader who captured Bohai City first.

In Bohai City, the leader of the pirates did not get carried away. He was ready to meet Tongze from Golden Crow City at any time, and was discussing how to deal with the captives in Bohai City.

"The young master has an order, and the foundation of the city must not be destroyed. When we change the country, these ordinary people will be ours. Killing them is equivalent to killing chickens to get eggs, and the gain outweighs the loss."

After the leader reprimanded his subordinate Tu Cheng for wanting to give Dajing a look, he explained the reason, took a sip of strong wine, and said: "Be careful with your subordinates, don't commit any heinous crimes, I will be the one who wants to It is impossible for you to intercede in front of the young master."

Thinking of the young master's ruthless methods, they couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to say more.

At this moment, the scouts entered the city lord's mansion.

And the young master they were talking about was currently on an uninhabited island in the bay, staring at the person who looked at him coldly.

Huang Yu asked him, "Why did you do this?"

What he asked was Yu Deng.

Yu Deng looked at him sadly, and said in a low voice: "Ayu, do you believe it? I never thought of hurting you from the beginning to the end, and I will not let others hurt you."

Huang Yu refused to listen and asked him stubbornly why.

"...Why, probably because my surname is Ning."
