Chapter 166 Sea Merchant Xu Wenyi

During the Tokugawa Shogunate era, Japan's political situation was still stable and rarely had such victory. After so many years, few Japanese ronin are running around everywhere.

The pirates active along the coast of the Ming Dynasty are actually their own people.

Just as Kong Youde was thinking about these things, the pile of sampans were gradually approaching the beach.

There are three sampans in front and fifteen sampans in the back. There are almost ten people on top of each sampan.

The distance is closer, and the people on the sampan can almost see clearly.

The group of people in front were in very ordinary clothes. Before they could dock, they jumped into the cold water and fled to Kong Youde. They were small in number and had no weapons, so they were soon controlled by their personal soldiers.

One of them said, "This general, dare you ask if he is working under Sun Chuyang's sect? I am Xu Wenyi, a maritime businessman and a fellow disciple of Sun Chuyang!

Those behind are pirates. We were chased by pirates all the way. I hope the general will help stop them! I will thank you very much afterwards!"

Kong Youde was speechless immediately. No matter how often he met someone, he knew Sun Yuanhua. However, as long as he was Sun Yuanhua’s friend, he should not be incompetent, and he was a religious person. It must be of great use, so it would be better to save him.

"Mr. Xu, please take your people to the back first. Leave these pirates to this general to deal with. I cannot confirm your identity yet, so I hope you don't make any extra moves to avoid misunderstandings.

After solving those pirates, I will talk to you in detail!”

Kong Youde arranged for more than a dozen people to take care of them. He was a cautious person and could not trust others completely just because of a simple sentence.

Kong Youde, the people behind, have basically been confirmed. They are indeed what Xu Wenyi mentioned, because most of them are skinheads, and there are various tattoos on their exposed arms.

The bronze skin is the biggest feature of sailors. Some pirates' skin is even darker as if they were from Africa. Water droplets cannot stay on such skin, and they fall off as if they dripping.

At the same time, most of the weapons in the hands of these people are javelins and other weapons, and there are various axes.

The thick cables and other riggings on the warships cannot be cut off at all, and only heavy and sharp axes can do it.

Therefore, warships are generally equipped with a large number of axes. Axes are both essential tools for navigation and weapons commonly used in jumping gang wars.

Of course, in addition to these melee weapons, they also carried forty or fifty muskets, which should be the combstone guns.

Kong Youde didn't understand the sound of their speech very well. It was speculated that it should be the accent of southerners, which was a bit like the Minnan language of later generations. Of course, Kong Youde was not a language expert and could not accurately judge where these people came from.

But one thing is certain, these people are definitely not locals, they should be pirates from the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

The sampans were docked one after another, and the pirates continued to land. It seemed that they had no fear. After they got ashore, they did not check the surrounding environment and began to climb the dunes next to the beach.

After they all climbed up, they suddenly saw more than a hundred cavalrymen ahead. They had seen people here on the sea, but due to the obstruction of the sand dunes, they did not see the horses below, so they didn't care much.

In their eyes, the official army was vulnerable. They had done this before. At that time, the Ming army of a thousand households came out in full swing, with almost four or five hundred people trying to destroy them, but was beaten by more than one hundred of them and cried and called for their parents.

However, now these Ming soldiers have horses and are all wearing armor, which is obviously not a good person. They are in a very embarrassing situation and are in a dilemma.

After a stalemate for a moment, a pirate shouted, "Brothers, follow me. Even if these official troops have horses, they will be soft-legged shrimps. We can easily win if we fight three times the official troops before. There are not as many official troops on the other side as we do, so we will follow me!"

Kong Youde looked at the pirates with interest, but unexpectedly, their first reaction was not to escape, but to rush up confidently. Since they wanted to die, he would send them away without hesitation.

"Huang Guizhong, you will leave these pirates to deal with, don't let me down." Of course, Kong Youde doesn't need to go on stage in person, so he and Li Yangxing and more than ten other personal soldiers are watching the show behind him.

"The general will definitely be disappointed. The general will wait for a moment, and the general will take the thief level!" After that, Huang Guizhong rushed up with more than a hundred personal soldiers.

In an instant, the cavalry of the hundred men rushed into the pirates. With the impact force generated by the charge of the war horses, they could easily harvest the heads by directly lying on the side. After sweeping over, the pirates were trampled on by the war horses or cut off their flesh by the sabers.

The cavalry attacked such infantry with only short weapons, just grandpa attacked grandsons, and the remaining pirates were also incredible. They did not expect that these cavalry were not as weak as they imagined.

Even some war soldiers on the southeast coast can easily deal with it. These official troops are so difficult to deal with, it is impossible for them to encounter the personal soldiers of that general.

Then, another round of cavalry attacks, and the pirates fell down another thirty or forty people, and their results only injured two or three official troops.

If a pirate who has lost the initiative has suffered such an impact, how can he have a chance to resist?

What's more, they were not familiar with the terrain here at all. Now they were surrounded by the official cavalry and were already panicked and had no fighting at all. This combat power can be imagined.

There were several pirates who had reacted quickly, who had thrown away the guy in their hands, and hurriedly jumped off the sand dune and fled in a hurry toward the pirate ship.

Someone ran away, and the other pirates naturally followed suit and tried to escape.

However, the personal soldiers did not intend to give them away. At this time, another advantage of the cavalry over the infantry appeared. The battle site was still a little far from the sea. The pirates wanted to escape but could not escape at all. Huang Guizhong even distributed a group of people to rush to the sea to intercept their way.

The remaining battle situation is to harvest the heads. The pirates are indeed brave, but they are not completely afraid of death. Seeing that they have no hope of escaping and cannot defeat the official army, they can only choose to surrender strangely.

The sixty or seventy pirates who were alive were quickly helped. At the beginning, the commander pirate was escorted in front of Kong Youde, and he was also a big bald man. He was a little curious about why these pirates like to shaved their heads.
