my wonderful zoo

Chapter 8
Looking at the one-sided battle ahead, Chen Xun was very pleased.

Since the age of ten, Chen Xun has been accumulating step by step. At first, he just led the children of the family to earn some extra money.After I had some savings, I began to try to use bamboo to make paper. First, rough straw paper that could only be used for wiping buttocks, then yellow paper that could barely be written on, white paper that could be used, and even better than rice paper. Bamboo Paper, step by step, finally made its first pot of gold.

Before I could save my money, I was stabbed in the back by my clan members. I had to start buying children of my own age from surrounding counties such as Dongguan, Zengcheng, and Xinhui to help me work and strengthen my voice in the Chen family. I felt sad. It cannot be summed up in one word.

I originally planned to make some money, manage my affairs, get a degree, improve my social class, and feel the superiority and grace of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty. I never thought that the cheat would be paid, and then I devoted most of my energy to researching the cheat. As a result, I became rich. , Goulan and Chunlou have not even been there once, let alone knowledge, so they naturally fell into disuse.

Now looking at the invincible Chen Jiajun on the battlefield ahead, Chen Xun felt sincerely: It was worth it.

A man's sense of accomplishment is not only to conquer women, but also to conquer men.

With the current size of the Chen family's army, Chen Xun feels secure. Even if history changes and the Jin Kingdom destroys the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, he will be able to take refuge at sea.

"Mr. Lang, the pirates are coming from behind." The lookout on the mast reminded.

Chen Xun looked back and saw that the pirates coming from the south were not far from the battlefield. They should have followed from Qimei Island and Wang'an Island.

"Let's go to the island too."

Following Chen Xun's order, the small warship located at the outermost edge of the station began to bypass the warship and docked through the landing line opened up by the armed merchant ship.

The landing went smoothly, and the army deployed from the servants' personal guards had expanded the landing point to a radius of thirty feet.

"Lang Jun, why are you here too?" Lu Hui, who was directing the battle, asked quickly when he saw Chen Xun disembarking from the boat.

"Don't worry, I trust you, focus on commanding the battle." Chen Xun didn't say much to him, because many pirates with weapons came from the port. Although the weapons were various, their morale was high.

The swordsmen, shield bearers and spearmen in front of the guard phalanx were very stable and did not waver because of the large number of enemies.

"Get ready for grenades!" Lu Hui shouted loudly.

……

"Put up my flag!" Chen Xun ordered the guards around him.

"Yes!" Several people immediately got busy. One of them removed the five-section hard bamboo pole from his back. Each pole was half a foot long. There were fixed iron fittings at the head and tail of the bamboo pole, including threads and nuts.Two by two, the five bamboo poles were quickly connected together, reaching a length of two and a half feet (7 meters 5).

While the bamboo pole was being connected, another person had already unpacked the baggage behind him and unfolded a blood-red flag. There were sleeves sewn in advance on the side of the flag. The polished bamboo pole slid smoothly into the sleeve and was then fixed by a string. .

"Put up the flag!" the captain of the personal guard squad shouted loudly!
"Mighty! Wansheng!" The others followed suit and shouted loudly.

The flagpole was erected, and the blood-red flag was unfolded. Just now, I saw a big five-pointed star in the middle of the flag. Different from the five-pointed stars that were common in later generations, this five-pointed star has very clear edges and corners, which can also be said to be very sharp, with five slender corners. , the tip of the horn is like a spear thorn, which is very impactful when you look at it. "Mighty! Victory!" The soldiers fighting in front also shouted loudly.Years of combat experience have made everyone understand that when this slogan is shouted, it usually means that the war has reached the most critical moment.

As the slogans finished, the large pirate team was close to twenty steps ahead of the target.

"Drop the bomb!" Lu Hui yelled.

The grenadiers behind the sword and shield array lit the grenade leads, took three steps forward, and threw the grenades forward.

The grenadiers were all carefully selected. They were bold, careful, and strong in arms. They could throw grenades weighing one and a half kilograms, and the nearest one was thrown twenty paces away.Just in the middle of a large group of pirates.

The pirate who was hit by the grenade was a little confused. He couldn't understand what kind of weapon it was. Could it be so small that it could kill someone?Some people saw that the grenade was coated with iron, so they picked it up and took a closer look.

boom!boom!boom! ....
Grenades exploded one after another, and the violent explosions attracted the attention of the entire battlefield, causing the combat intensity in other directions to be somewhat reduced.

"Forward! Kill!", "Kill!"

The Chen family's sword and shield array was not stunned. Under Lu Hui's orders, they moved forward step by step, thrusting and withdrawing their spears, and every time a pirate was pierced by the spear.

There was a brave pirate leader who was very skilled in martial arts. He deflected the spear that was aimed at him with one knife. Then he dwarfed his body, slumped his shoulders and bumped between the spears. He hit the shield with the move of Baji Iron Mountain. .The shield hand was hit hard, and the long shield in his hand came back, and the upper part of the shield hit his face, causing his head to bleed immediately. Fortunately, he held on and did not fall backwards.

Each shield hand is in an anti-collision position at all times, even if they are leaning forward and stepping forward.This brave pirate leader hit the "iron plate". The violent impact made half of his body numb. He watched helplessly as a slender blade was slashed from the side of the shield, directly cutting off the long knife he raised. , and continued to draw down, cutting on his own chest.

ah!The blade of the knife penetrated the flesh, and the pain was heartbreaking.

Poof!A spear thrust out from behind the shield accurately pierced the leader's face, interrupting his cry of pain.

Poof!The spear was pulled back, and the pirate leader's body fell to the ground, trampled by the phalanx.

"In front of the organized phalanx, the role of individual martial arts has become very small. Working together is the most important." Chen Xun happened to see this scene and said to the guards around him.

These personal guards are all key training targets. After studying with Chen Xun for a period of time, they will be decentralized and serve as grassroots officers.Chen Xun's close personal guard is equivalent to Chen Jiajun's military academy. The duty of guarding Chen Xun is only secondary, mainly to learn and cultivate loyalty.

boom!boom!boom! …

Another wave of grenades exploded, directly destroying the pirates' will to resist. The pirates with their own agendas began to flee in all directions. Some of the leaders took their men to form an organization and fled. There were only some pirates whose vital interests were violated or who were "honest and honest". Still resisting.

The success of the land battle also affected the naval battle. After several waves of pirate ships approaching from the south were hit by fire oil tanks, only a few pirate ships bravely came up and started a gang fight with the Chen family's warships. The other warships They all began to turn their boats around and evacuate quickly southward following the northwest wind.
