Five hundred and twentieth nine chapters, the iron wall

As soon as these boats landed, several more pirates jumped off the boat with pointed wooden stakes, as if they were going to run into the beach. Some people dragged out a few women and children again.

"Master! How dare you do this!" Hani said furiously, "Everyone, listen, follow me and catch those pirates, and cut them into pieces!"

The other cavalry responded and all came up to chase after him.

The "pirates" had just inserted a pointed wooden stake when they saw the Qing cavalry chasing again, so they all came on the boat again, stuffed the women and children into the cabin, lifted the anchor chain, and the boat went downstream along the river.

"Chasing! Chase!" Hani shouted. He knew that if he didn't chase, he would be afraid that these pirates would be docked again after walking a few hundred steps, and then he would stand up a pointed wooden stake to wear those women and children. As for what to do if he chased them, Hani hadn't figured it out yet. After all, they were on the boat, and their war horses could not rush onto the boat on the water.

The ship was not fast, and the cavalry soon chased them parallel to these ships.

"Drop the horse and shoot the arrow! Shoot them to death!" Hani shouted, and jumped down from the war horse that had not completely slowed down. When he landed, he was already holding a strong bow in his hand.

Manchurian cavalry rarely use cavalry to attack enemies by riding and shooting. Because they cannot drive strong bows when riding and shooting, and on the undulating war horses, do they have a two-way stable large closed-loop fire control system? Relying on human fire control, the shooting accuracy is also very poor. Generally speaking, if you have more than ten steps, you can basically not hit anything. However, you can stand still and shoot with a strong bow. Whether it is range or accurate head, you don’t know how strong it is compared to flashy riding and shooting.

However, these ships were sailing against the other side of the river bank, and the distance between the two sides was forty or fifty steps. Heavy arrows could not be shot so far, so they could only use light arrows. However, shields were raised on the opposite ship. The arrow shot over, but it was actually just a vent of anger and could not shoot anything at all.

Hani is now quite difficult to get off the pirates. They are cavalry and cannot get into the water. If they attack, they can only shoot arrows, but they have no effect. Now they continue to chase, but they have no choice but to deal with the pirates. If they don’t follow, they are afraid that these pirates will immediately go to the dock, then set up a few pointed wooden stakes and put on the remaining women and children. Now, it seems that they can only follow.

In fact, if you just want to put a few people on, the "pirates" on the boat only need to dock on the other side of the river. However, these boats no longer docked and just drove slowly downstream.

At this time, more Qing soldiers followed. There were even a few small boats carrying Qing soldiers. These small boats came quickly and soon caught up with the "pirates". They first shot at the "pirates" ship with bows and arrows at the "pirates" ship at close range. The "pirates" were not out of weakness, but also shot back with shotguns. In the shooting, the "pirates" shotgun obviously had an advantage, and in a short while, the Qing soldiers on the ships were suppressed so hard that they could not raise their heads.

At this moment, several naked "pirates" led by a bald head suddenly jumped into the water from their ship. Then several Qing soldiers shook violently. Several Qing soldiers could not stand their feet and fell into the water. Then the ships began to leak water and quickly sank. The Qing soldiers fell into the water, and were then pressed by the pirates to the water, and quickly fainted, and then were thrown onto the ship.

The Qing soldiers on the shore watched these pirates kill or capture the Qing soldiers who came on board, but could not help. They just shot at them with light arrows when the naked pirates boarded the boat. Several pirates were even hit by two arrows, but the lethality of the light arrows was quite limited. Although these pirates were injured, they were not fatal.

The few small boats pursued by the Qing army were wiped out, and these boats continued to go down, and Niuzhuang Castle could already be seen in front.

The Qing army gradually approached Niuzhuang Fort and stopped about four or five hundred steps from the outermost layer of barbed wire mesh.

The Zheng family pirates' boat leaned against the shore behind the first layer of barbed wire. Just behind the first layer of barbed wire, some pointed wooden stakes had been erected. A bald man jumped off the boat. As soon as his feet landed, he smiled at the people coming over: "Good, good fortune! Amitabha, good good! I went there, but I caught a group of Tartars and came back. I could make the Buddha do some merits again!"

"You fake monk, I don't know how many evils you have committed! Are you not afraid that the Buddha will let you go to hell?" the officer who came to greet him cursed with a smile.

The monk put his hands together and said with great sincerity: "Amitabha! Mr. Sun does not learn Buddhism, and does not know the compassion of my Buddha. As the saying goes, if I do not go to hell, who will go to hell? Besides, all sentient beings are suffering. I am sending them to liberation, which is a great merit! Namo Amitabha, Namo Hachiban Great Bodhisattva! Master Qingluan said: "A good person can be reincarnated in the Pure Land, let alone the evil ones?"

When the "Mr. Sun" heard this, he just shook his head and smiled, "I can't understand your Fusang Buddhism!"

The monk said, "What's wrong with this? You Chinese monks also said, "I have never cultivated good results in my life, I only love to kill and set fire. Suddenly, the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was broken here! The tide of the Qiantang River came, and today I knew I was me!"

The last sentence was shouted at the boat in Japanese.

The people on the boat also responded, but they were both Japanese, Chinese, and Korean accents. Soon a group of people pulled down the prisoners.

The monk smiled at "Jun Sun", then turned his face and said to the Qing soldiers who were tied up like hairy crabs that were about to be put into steamer, "Namo Amitabha! You guys, as the saying goes, 'Everyone is suffering', you are born in this burning house, and the cycle of reincarnation is endless, so it is so painful! Today, I am chanting my Buddha's compassion, I originally saved people and realized their spirit, and I will send you great liberation. Good, good! Well, let's help the donors to be liberated!"

As soon as the last sentence came out, the people who came off the boat pulled off the pants of these Qing army prisoners. How could these Qing army not know what they were going to do, so they naturally struggled desperately. But they just choked on the water and were tied up by the ropes and struggled to take them off. Soon, they were all pulled out their pants. But when these guys tied the prisoners like hairy crabs, they deliberately did not block their mouths. Now, the Qing army with pants stripped off, they cursed at the "pirates". One of the prisoners spit on the monk's face.

"How can the donor curse? Swearing is a breach of anger! Spitting is also unhygienic. I should help the donor to be liberated!" The monk did not wipe the spit on his face, but instead said to the spitty captive very kindly. While he said, he also grabbed the captive's ribs with both hands, gently lifted him up, moved it to the pointed wooden stake, and then said: "I wish the donor great liberation and rebirth. Good, good!"

As he spoke, the monk pressed the prisoner down, and with a scream, the prisoner was inserted into the pointed wooden stake.

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Namo Amitabha, how good it is!" Then he turned to the next captive...

...

At this time, there were already one or two thousand Qing troops who rushed outside the barbed wire one after another. Among them were authentic Zhushen warriors like Hani, and traitors who followed Shang Kexi to vote for the Eight Banners. Now, looking at the thief monk, he clasped his hands together and muttered the scriptures while wearing the captives one by one. They were so angry that they cursed.

Hani knew that although the defense of the pirates in front seemed to be only a few trenches that were not deep, a few short walls that were as tall as chest, and some cannons. The position seemed to be that way. It seemed that there were more cannons and stronger positions. Hani had never seen or fought. However, he also knew that the positions of the pirates in the Zheng family were not comparable to those of the Ming army. Even if they were hiding behind simple fortifications, it was difficult to fight. So, at the beginning, he held back and did not launch an attack immediately. But as the thief monk there put the prisoners one by one, he still couldn't help it. Moreover, he knew that if he didn't dare to attack, he was afraid that the morale of the Qing army would be greatly affected.

However, Hani knew that it would be difficult for him to break through the defenses of these pirates and save people. So he set a small goal for himself - to get closer and help the captured Qing army get a happy time.

"We didn't bring a shield cart, so we couldn't rush over. But I looked at the wooden stakes, not far from their kind of horse-rejecting horses. We rushed over there and helped the brothers with bows and arrows. Look, how about it?" Hani said to the few Niulu Zhang Jing beside him.

"I think it's OK," said Zhang Jing.

"I just want to shoot that bald thief with an arrow!" Another Zhang Jing said.

"How can one arrow be enough? One day, I will wear this thief like this! Okay, since everyone doesn't object! Then let's go!" Hani said at last.

Everyone got on the horse again and urged the horse to rush into an arc towards the barbed wire mesh on the snake's belly.

Huang Zhao stood behind a chest wall, looking at the Qing army's cavalry. Beside him were several cannons borrowed from the navy. The positions where the Qing army's cavalry passed were all lattice-shaped. Next to Huang Zhao, several naval officers stared at the Qing army while counting the grids to calculate their distance and speed. Various numbers kept reporting from their mouths, and the cannons around them were constantly adjusting according to these numbers.
