The pirates sat down on the spot with anxiety. They were still talking about it. Not long ago, they were still silent. They sailed on the sea without any scruples and wanted to rob the merchants. At that time, they were full of energy, whistling with their weapons and roaring over the ship owner, and carrying the goods from the merchant ship out of the bilge box by box, and chopping away any sailors who dared to resist them without hesitation. Sometimes they could decide the life and death of a ship with just one thought, because they were wolf on the sea.

The pirates don’t know that there is a popular saying in later generations - they always have to pay it back when they come out.

"Boom! Boom!" The ground trembled slightly, and the roar became clearer from far to near. More than forty fast horses carrying cowhide armor and riding sabers came roaring, and countless figures behind them were jogging neatly and gradually revealing their figures.

"We are ordered to suppress the thieves. Those who surrender will put down their weapons, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!" A hundred feet away, the knights with full energy roared and raised their saber high. Under the moonlight, the blade slightly exuded a light yellow edge.

"It's Ming Gouzi." After a brief shock, the water thieves bounced and stood up like reflexes to pick up their weapons. They looked around in panic and tried to gain some courage from it.

"No one is allowed to escape. Once someone escapes, everyone will be let by dogs and annihilate us one by one. Brothers, search the guys and fight with them." The widow of water shouted, and the thin sword in her hand penetrated into the throat of a water thief who wanted to escape. The pirates couldn't help but take a photo and gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

"Hurry! Shoot the horse with a musket." The Black Water Dragon calmed down and ordered his musketeers.

But it was too late. It was darkness now, and the Ming army suddenly appeared again. Before they could react, forty knights crashed into the pirates' team like sharp swords. With the powerful impact force, the knights lined up into a long snake, plowing the pirates' formation like a comb and deeply plowed more than a dozen holes.

The sharp sabers drew perfect arcs under the moonlight. Before the pirates who had lost their courage could resist, they could hear the screams of their companions. The liquid erupted as soon as the blade struck across the throat, like a terrifying sabers, ejecting a half arc in the air.

A man's head rewards one tael of silver, which is the promise of Emperor Yongli, which is enough for a soldier to pay for three months.

The knights raised their mouths coldly. Each of them earned at least three taels of silver in one collision. After a strong collision, the war horses that had lost their explosive power could be beaten by pirates at any time. They rode their horses and whipped their horses, put away their sabres, and before the pirates could recover, they had already gone to a vacant place, disappearing in the dark without a trace, and only the sound of the horse's hooves was clattering farther and farther away.

"We are ordered to fight the thief. Those who surrender will put down their weapons, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!" Another desperate voice came ten feet away. The panicked pirates found that not far away, a neat infantry appeared not far away in square steps, with swords and guns like a forest, and orders were all the same. Dozens of flag bearers raised the sun and moon flags with black background, red sun and yellow moon. Before the pirates could react, the generals in front pointed at the long sword, and the neat team rushed towards him like a flood that opened the gate.

"Damn it, Ming Gouzi is too many, brothers, run away." This time he was shouting Sha Tongtian. Although he was reckless, he knew that the contrast between the two sides was too great, and resisting desperately was just to die.

As soon as the words were finished, the pirates fled like frightened birds, led by the leader, and retreated quickly turned into a fleeing under the pressure of the Ming soldiers behind them.

"Die, tie..." The sound of horse hooves came from a distance again, and dozens of cavalrymen broke back from the darkness like sharp arrows.

"Damn it, these bright dogs are really good at picking the time." The pirates thought frightenedly, and their steps were faster, squeezing each other in the darkness, only to regret that their parents gave them less legs.

The Ming army rushed for three or four miles, and corpses were everywhere along the road, blood flowing into a river. The pirates could only hear a voice from behind: "Stop chasing, everyone waited to rest on the spot, bury the pot and cook rice!"

The pirates looked back and saw that the Ming army stopped their pursuit and gathered together. The death-seeking ghost composed of the cavalry seemed to have lost interest in them, turned their horses and galloped away in a hurry.

After running for another period, the pirates stopped and rested. They trembled and gathered together in an attempt to find a sense of security in many places. Soon, they discovered a more serious problem.

After running around in passion and fear for a night, many pirates found that their stomachs were already roaring. At first, they didn't feel it. But when they ran away just now, they heard the general behind them shouting to bury the pot and make rice, and they found that they were too hungry and their stomachs were as empty as wild.

"It's not possible. There is no food. The brothers will definitely stay for a few days. For the sake of this plan, I can only take advantage of the fact that my brothers still have some strength to rush to the valley entrance and kill the Ming army to kill the Ming army. One can escape." Sha Tongtian was so anxious that he jumped.

"Hei Water Dragon, what do you think?" Widow Shui nodded helplessly and turned her eyes to ask Hei Water Dragon.

"What else can you do? It's not a solution to sit and wait for death." The black water dragon's face was unstable.

"Okay, that's it."

The sky was lightning slightly, and the rising mist gently spread at the entrance of the valley, like a rising veil, giving the heavy entrance of the valley a dreamy color.

"The first row of preparations!" Mu Jianming stared at the pirates gathering more and more a hundred feet away, calmly holding the hilt of the sword.

Forty crossbowmen took three steps from the queue in a neat way, lifted the crossbow and knelt halfway, squinted his eyes and aimed at the distance.

"Please master the shooting outline, don't panic. After the crossbow arrow is launched, don't worry about whether it hits the target. Immediately open the position and give it to the brothers in the back team. Install crossbow quickly, don't delay. Hold the crossbow with your left elbow, press the fingers covered by the motives to be steady, don't be nervous, and don't be afraid. They are just a group of thieves surrounded by us." Mu Jianming chatted endlessly about the key points of shooting. Seeing that the pirates in the distance had set up their attack formation, they drew out the long sword, and the sword body broke a hole in the air to tear a hole in the thick fog: "Soldiers, we only make achievements today. We have been eating the king's fortune for a long time. Today is the time to repay the king. The army obeyed the orders, and we vowed to guard the valley entrance. Who dared to take a step back and kill without mercy!"

"Listen to my order, first column, prepare!"

The pirates had already launched an attack. They danced high with their weapons and rushed towards the valley entrance frantically. They were defeated soldiers and agreed to be defeated. Even if they were a dog, they would jump over the wall if they were anxious.

One hundred feet, ninety feet, eighty feet...

Mu Jianming squinted his eyes and kept calculating the distance he was being pulled closer. He was not in a hurry to launch an attack. Although the range of the crossbow was eighty feet, the current shooting accuracy of the Shenji Camp was too far, and the lethality was much lowered.

Mu Jianming's palm was covered with sweat, and finally, he burst out in a slight state: "Shoot! Prepare for the second row!"

Forty crossbow arrows tore through the thick fog and shot out quickly. More than a dozen pirates who rushed to the front fell to the ground screaming.

"Don't worry about the results, the first row quickly retreats back to the queue to load, the second row goes forward, prepare!" Mu Jianming scolded loudly, quickly raising the long sword pointing to the sky down: "Shoot!"

"The first column comes forward, prepare, shoot! The second column is ready!"

"The second column..."

The rain of arrows poured out like a flood that opened the gate, without a slight pause. The crossbowmen repeatedly made the same moves mechanically without any fatigue.

The pirates were seriously injured and were shot back by increasingly dense crossbow arrows before they could get close. Their muskets were only forty feet in range and had no resistance to the steel crossbows.

Just as the pirates were depressed, there was another shout of killing behind them. The earth trembled like last night, and the sound of the beeping hooves was even more terrifying than last night.

"Damn it, that team of cavalry is here again." Someone was cursing loudly, and more people were quieting down. They were missing the happy days a few days ago, shaking the wind and waves, eating meat in large cubes, drinking wine in big mouthfuls, and missing their wife and children in the village.

Forty cavalry lined up in the distance, tying up the horse's reins as if they were striking their might. A cavalry came out and shouted to the pirates with great energy: "We are here in the Great Ming Dynasty soldiers, are you willing to die and surrender?" He pulled the horse forward as if no one was around and trotted a few steps. He jumped off the horse's back, took out the flint from his arms, dyed the incense, lit the incense with flint, and inserted it into the soil.

"I have to listen to this thousand households waiting for you for a stick of incense, and you will not be able to expire."

The pirates looked at each other and completely forgot that the brave Qianhu actually walked into the range of the musket. As long as one of them reacted, he could immediately die on the spot.

No one takes action, facts are better than words. Although the pirates do not know the big words and are violent and cruel, they are definitely not fools. Only fools will resist stubbornly at this time.
