Fort Erwei defeated the pirates and did not even let the pirates come to the Salt Castle area. This made the people of Fort Erwei very excited when they found out.

In the past, whenever they encountered pirates and Japanese pirates attacking, they would suffer some losses. Hundreds of households never thought about what to do with the people outside the fort. When they heard the news of pirate landings, whether it was true or false, they closed the city gate first.

Nowadays, the prosperity of Erwei Fort has given the new refugees a strong sense of belonging. Living in such a place, not only do they not have to worry about the oppression of wealthy families, they don't even have to worry about bandits. They only need to do their jobs well.

That’s it.

Su Ming returned to his yard in the evening. He had just returned from the Salt Castle and had not eaten yet. He saw that the food at home had been prepared, but neither the eldest brother nor the fifth brother came back.

"Fifth brother, let me take a look!" Su Zhe kept asking where Su Ming's gun was hidden after he came back. He saw the danger of Su Ming's rifle firing, and looked at the pistol in his hand with disgust.

"What are you looking at? There's nothing there." How could Su Ming not know what the thirteenth brother was talking about.

"I'll give it a try. Show me that cannonball. Why is it so powerful?" Su Zhe persisted.

"Don't talk when you're back. You've used it up! I'll show it to you later. If you do this again, I'll take it back!" Su Ming pointed at the gun bag on Su Zhe's waist and said.

"Okay, then you must show me from now on. Don't keep your words!" Su Zhe said, covering his gun bag with his hand.

"Sister-in-law, hasn't my eldest brother come back?" Su Ming asked when he saw his sister-in-law washing his nephew's hair.

"Your eldest brother went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet. I heard from the people in the fort that we had a great battle today. We killed hundreds of pirates and none of us were injured. Is that right?" Qin asked with a smile.

"Yes, we were fully prepared this time, but we only killed more than 20 pirates, which was not as powerful as what was rumored." When Su Ming came back, he and his elder brother had already discussed it, saying that they would kill 24 pirates and capture three.

Eleven people, the other pirates were defeated and all ran away.

There is no reward for killing the pirate court. No matter how great your credit is, it means nothing if it has nothing to do with it.

Just as he was talking, brothers Su Ren and Su Qingping came back in leather armor. Due to a lot of training recently, they had new leather armor and weapons. They seemed to be much more energetic, and they already had some general intentions.

"Eighth brother, thirteenth brother, you are back!" Su Ren saw that the two brothers were already washing in the yard, so he asked his servants to help remove their armor and wash them too.

"Put the food in the living room, we will eat in the living room later." Su Ren was washing his face and saw the servants carrying the food to the yard, and raised his head and said.

Judging from the appearance of the eldest brother and the fifth brother, he was not at all as happy as he should have been in repelling the pirates today. He knew that something must have happened. Placing the meal in the living room showed that the matter was quite urgent.

"The eighth brother and the thirteenth brother blocked the pirates from the salt castle today, which is a great achievement.

I placed the prisoners in the West Village in the afternoon, and when I interrogated the prisoners, I found out that the pirates who attacked us today were Xu Dong's men!" Su Ren said.

"What? Xu Dong? How could he be interested in our Second Weibao? How could there be only a hundred or so people from Xu Dong?" Su Zhe couldn't help but said in surprise after hearing this.

Who is Xu Dong? The pirate king that even the navy of the Ming Dynasty can't deal with. Chaolie Port of the Ming Dynasty is still under the control of Xu Dong. It is rumored that Xu Dong has 3,000 ships. Even if Wang Zhi passes through Hangzhou Bay, it will still take a long time.

Look at Xu Dong's face.

"Of course it won't be Xu Dong himself. Today's person is the subordinate of Wu Rong, the golden-faced Buddha, one of the eight kings under Xu Dong. His name is Xie Yuan. He is as close as a brother to Wu Rong. We killed Xie Yuan and Wu Rong.

They may not let us go easily.

This afternoon I saw that one of those pirate ships left one not far from our Salt Castle, maybe they won't let it go!" Su Ren said.

Brothers can't help but frown. It's okay to fight against Er Wei Bao, a pirate. How can they defeat Xu Dong?

Supporting them with all your strength is of no use at all.

"Brother... how about we report this matter to the commander!" Su Zhe said in a low voice.

"The news came this afternoon that the deputy general of Jinshan Guard and three thousand elites were ambushed by Japanese pirates at Huangyan Guard in Taizhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. They suffered heavy losses and the deputy general died in battle!" Su Ren said another shocking news.

"How is it possible that the Jinshan Guard army was defeated? No matter how much the officials in the town deducted, there were at least three thousand elites. How could they be defeated when they encountered Japanese pirates?" Su Ming said in surprise.

"Who knows this? They say that the Jinshan Guards are one of the Four Davids of the Ming Dynasty, and their soldiers are all elite. But have you ever seen the elites of the Jinshan Guards fight in so many years? This time, most of the strength of the Jinshan Guards has been lost, and the imperial court has already eliminated a large number of elites.

He was deployed to Zhejiang, Fujian and other places." Su Ren also shook his head helplessly.

"Brother, it's not our fault. The current situation is like this. We have to do our best. Not to mention whether the pirates will really attack our Jinshan Guard. Even if they are coming, it is impossible for all of us to attack such a long coastline.

Fort, as long as we hold on to the Second Wei Fort and wait for the pirates to retreat, it will be a great achievement." Su Qingping heard this and said.

"Fifth Brother is right. So what if the pirates come? We have conducted so many drills. At worst, everyone will hide in the fort. The pirates will definitely retreat by the beginning of September at most. Our food will definitely be enough."

of.

Tomorrow we will ask each escort team to quickly expand their personnel, and each village will send the old and weak to the fort as soon as possible. As long as the pirates attack in a large scale, we will retreat to the fort.

In the past few months, the tunnels in Erwei Fort and the villages have been almost constructed. When pirates come, they cannot be outside our fort every day. Most of them go to the villages for repairs. We rely on the tunnels and secret passages to deal with each other," Su Ming said with a smile.

.

When Su Ren saw his brother smiling like this, he knew that he had another bad idea in his mind, and the pressure couldn't help but feel much less stressful.

"Then stop the work that can be stopped tomorrow! Let the workers collect stones to defend the fort wall. It is also important to cut down some bamboo outside the city. Whether it is making arrows or building houses, it is very important.

Bad brother, you will quietly check the tunnels tomorrow and correct them as soon as possible if there is anything wrong. If a large group of pirates besiege Erwei Fort, the soldiers will never leave the fort to fight. If you harass the enemy, you will have to guard the guards." Su Ren said.

"Brother, I understand!" Su Ming replied.

…

The Jinshanwei army was defeated in Huangyanwei, and the news that the entire army was almost annihilated spread like wildfire in Jinshanwei. People everywhere began to panic, but the officials in Jinshanwei Town had no intention of taking care of this.

Many wealthy families began to drag their families to northern areas such as Suzhou Prefecture, and the people in the villages and fortresses did not dare to leave their homes anymore. Years of experience told them that this time Jinshanwei may suffer a disaster that has not been seen in decades.

Starting from June 21, there have been vessels in the eastern waters of Yanbao.

There are more and more people in the house.

The city walls are still under construction. The flowers from the surroundings are available every day. Countless stones and bamboo have been moved to the castle. The people know that this is the rhythm of a big battle.

However, there is not much fear in the hearts of Erweiburg people. What should I do, but the exercise every three days becomes more serious. On June 26th, the news of the multi -seater of the coastal guards of Jiaxing Mansion was passed on.

Come, the news that Jiaxing City has been besieged by tens of thousands of thefts has also been passed to Erweiburg.

Jiaxing Mansion is adjacent to Jinshanwei, and it is only about 200 miles away from Erweiburg's straight line. A depressed atmosphere over Erweiburg comes together. The laughes of everyone in the castle rarely heard everyone's laughter.

In the early morning of the 27th, Su Ming heard the news that there were multiple sea ships gathered in the north of Yanbao. He and his elder brother Su Ren came to Yan Farm to see that it was three fast ships.

Take 4 people, but the speed is the investigators at sea.

Those who can have such a fast ship, in addition to the court of the court is the power of the pirates at sea. In this way, the two Weiban must be stared at, and the other party ’s strength exceeds their imagination.

As Su Ming let the workers continue to cook salt, people stared at them. If the opponent had a large fleet to notify themselves as soon as possible, stayed in the salt castle and waited.

As soon as I finished eating in the afternoon, Su Ming heard that the guards hurried into the castle to report to him, saying that there were many big ships on the sea.

When Su Ming came out of the salt castle, when he saw the far sea surface, the three huge sea vessels were slowly driving to them.

These three sea vessels have at least 300 tons, and there are hundreds of small and medium -sized ships who are far from seeing them. Su Ming saw that they were getting closer and knew that the biggest crisis of Erwort came.

"Let everyone withdraw it! Take all the things that the salt castle can bring away.

I notify my elder brother. Do not leave a grain of all the people outside the 10 villages outside the castle. All the workers of the watchthader also retreated. All the furnaces outside the castle turned off, stop collecting stones, and fell into bamboo. "Su Ming said.

The workers quickly moved, and they quickly retreated. The previous exercises made them calmly.

Move all the things that can be moved to the carriage and rooster, and a long dragon retreated to Erwei Castle outside the salt castle. Although it encountered an unprecedented large stock pirate attack, everyone was nervous but not panic.

Watching this fleet slowly approached and came to the two miles of Yanbao east, Su Ming was able to see all the ships he came to, 3 large ships of more than 300 tons, 6 large ships over 100 tons, and of 50 tons or more than 50 tons or more.

27 ships and 98 other boats.

There may be more than 5,000 people in the pirate troops. Even if this kind of force does not necessarily stop Jinshanwei Town, let alone a small two Weibao.

But when he saw that Su Ming was here, he was relieved.

There are only three large ships on the other party with 2 Furuang machines and 1 bowl of bowls. There are no Hongyi artillery. There are some birds standing on the pirates on the bow. This means that it is impossible

That's so much.

"Myna, the pirates have landed on the shore. Everyone has retreated back to Erwei Fort. Let's retreat too!" After waiting for more than an hour, all the Salt Fort workers had already left. Su Ming and Su Zhe led four teams of escorts to return.

here.

"Let's go!" Su Ming said.
Chapter completed!
