I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 870

Bang bang bang!
A series of popping noises sounded like popping beans from the boat.

The water pirates who had just climbed onto the bow in a split second, before they had time to take a look at the situation on board, fell from the boat layer by layer like dumplings.

Just one round of shooting has already wiped out everyone who climbed aboard.

Seeing this kind of victory, Chen Hong's expression did not change much.

Then he raised his hand again,

"It's time for us to fight back.

The archer is ready, shoot freely, and try your best to shoot and kill the enemy's vital force! "

Except for dozens of musketeers on the ship, most of the rest are archers. Even if they are not full-time, their shooting ability is definitely not inferior to that of ordinary infantry.

With a sound, the bowstrings quarreled.

Immediately afterwards, the entire sky seemed to be raining black arrows.

Countless sharp arrows drew graceful curves and pierced into the bodies of water pirates in a swirling motion.

All of a sudden, there were screams and howls one after another.

Among them, many rockets fell directly on the boats around the ship, the dock behind the water village, and the houses further away.

The raging flames became more intense under the breeze.

In less than a few breaths, the entire water village was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

When the fire came together, the entire water village was in complete chaos.

No matter how the leader shouted, no one listened to him.

No matter how attractive the position of the second master, no matter how valuable 1000 taels of silver is, could it be more important than Xiao Ming?

The water village is only such a big place, and the places where people can hide are really limited.

Everyone took shelter from the burning docks and houses to avoid the rain of arrows.

What's urgent is that they run around all over the ground, and there is no longer any rules at all.

At this time, the leader finally understood that he is now in the end, and there is no way to recover.

He was also considered to be decisive, and immediately called the most trusted subordinates, and said in a low voice,
"Is everything ready!"

Those few people had big and small bags on them, and none of them was empty-handed.

Everyone nodded,
"Big boss, I have basically brought all the valuable things that I can bring!"

"That's good. You guys come with me. Let's go through the secret path. We can't stay in this place anymore."

After finishing speaking, he headed towards a secret passage behind the water village.

The whole water village is now in a panic, and no one has noticed that they are about to slip away quietly.

On Chen Hong's side, he saw that the other party basically had no anti-terrorism capabilities.

So he ordered the deck to be lowered so that the officers and soldiers of the ship could disembark to clean up the mess.

As the sling slowly descended, the deck like a suspension bridge slowly landed on the dock of the water village.

It was not Chen Hong's subordinates who got off the boat first, but those Jiang Hao's subordinates who followed them to hunt down water pirates.

These 300 people are like starving people who have been hungry for countless days and saw the food and wine all over the floor.

Aoao screamed and rushed off the deck, and rushed into the water village.

The people in the water village were already panicked.

They didn't even think about anti-terrorism at all. When they saw people in uniforms of officers and soldiers, they simply knelt down on the ground, remained motionless, and let the other party deal with them.

Because the water village is a relatively closed place, the place is not too big, hundreds of people poured into it, and the situation was quickly brought under control.

Some officers and soldiers have even started to put out the fire and clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Chen Hong took the guards around him and walked off the boat in a leisurely manner.

He said with a little disappointment on his face,
"Is this the end?

It seems that it has been less than two quarters of an hour since the start of the war! "

In fact, Chen Hong didn't mean to say that.

Rather, in a battle at sea, unless you are extremely lucky and hit the opponent's ammunition depot, causing a huge martyrdom, destroying the opponent's entire ship in an instant.

Otherwise, a battle will inevitably be protracted.

If the combat power of the two ships is almost the same, it is very likely that they will be in a stalemate for a whole day, and they may not be able to destroy each other.

At that time, when they fought against the Japanese pirates on Tongchi Island, they played one against three and fought for a whole day before finally winning the final victory.

Thinking about the current situation where a battle is over in less than half an hour, he really doesn't have much interest in it.

The adjutant said with an apologetic smile,

"Quick battles and quick decisions are also our skills. Who told them that they really can't do it!"

In fact, they were able to play so smoothly today.

It had something to do with their sudden arrival and not leaving much preparation time for each other.

If the other party is already prepared.

Before they appeared, all the boats were scattered and scattered on the vast river.

Then, at a single command, attacks were launched from all directions with fireboats and rockets.

Even if they can win in the end, they will suffer casualties to some extent.

If the response is not timely, it is not impossible to be surrounded by people, or even attacked on the ship.

Although the victory this time was very easy, there were also many coincidences in it, and there was nothing to really boast about.

The water pirates were either killed on the spot because of their tenacious resistance, or they simply surrendered.

The work of cleaning the battlefield went very smoothly.

From the house behind the water village, they searched out many ordinary people who had been arrested and imprisoned.

Among them were even a few rich young ladies in silk and satin.

These people haven't been abused much, but their mental state is obviously not very good.

Apparently, the water bandits took the meat tickets when they plundered on the river, and planned to exchange them for money.

When the rich families were dragged out by the officers and soldiers, they still looked confused.

"What's the situation, what's going on! Who are you!"

The officers and soldiers who accidentally found a few of them said impatiently,
"Why are you asking so many questions? You are free now. It's time to go home. Hurry up and go, the uncle is busy!"

After a few people slowly adjusted to the light outside, they saw water pirates kneeling and begging for mercy all over the floor, and Ming soldiers in bright military uniforms everywhere.

Several people felt that they almost cried out on the spot.

"Heaven has eyes, these bastards have finally received their retribution."

And a little fat man next to him burst into tears immediately.

Someone asked him, you are fine, you should be happy, why cry.

That little chubby man cried even louder, and said aggrievedly while crying,
"Why didn't they come sooner, my dad just sent them the ransom yesterday, and they planned to let me go today.

That's 5000 taels, what a waste! "

As for the others, not only did they not feel sad after listening to it, they laughed wildly instead.

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot, so my ransom can be saved, hahaha, heaven has eyes, eyes!"
