Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the World Starting From Riding and Cutting

Chapter 191 Bloody Eve

On the other side, a short refugee bit a shield-bearer who was holding a shield and a long knife in his hand and ran away. The shield-bearer looked back at the refugee's red eyes due to congestion, and he couldn't help but feel more and more frightened and wanted to speed up to meet up with the team.

But things were not what he thought!

A long spear abandoned by others was lying on the ground. The shield-bearer who was running wildly was tripped by the spear and flew forward diagonally. The long knife and shield in his hand were thrown aside.

The short refugee who was chasing immediately hit the shield-bearer's back with the wooden stick in his hand, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of the shield-bearer's mouth.

"Spare my life! Great hero, spare my life!"

The rattan shield bearer saw the short refugee picking up the long knife he had thrown on the ground, and couldn't help but beg, hoping that the three-foot-tall winter melon in front of him was a conscientious man, who could show mercy and let him go.

But he was wrong. His eyes were full of hatred at this moment. With a raised hand and a knife, blood splashed all over the short man's head and body.

"The adults told us that if others don't provoke me, I will never harm others! But..." The short refugee laughed twice with a grim smile, "If you are going to kill us today, don't blame me for taking your life in exchange for military merit!"

"Infantry captain, infantry captain! I cut one, and this is the knife and rattan shield I seized!" Seeing the leader of his team, the short man couldn't help but excitedly stepped forward to report his merits and show off.

"Okay, you little brother! This is considered a military achievement!"

"Then, can I have a better meal tonight?" The waiter licked his lips greedily, "I can add a chicken leg!"

"Hahaha! Just kidding! People with military achievements naturally eat differently! Tell the canteen tonight and cook whatever you want to eat, everything is guaranteed!"

After hearing this, the little brother couldn't help but grin and laugh happily.

"It's better to have military achievements!"

Behind the dense crowd, Weizhou pulled the reins and looked at the dozens of carts behind him. Tian Shengyuan, who rushed over before, took away dozens of carts full of food and supplies. The remaining vehicles were full of gold and silver. Although they were not edible when hungry and not clothes when cold, they were also very important.

"The bugler blows the horn! Call back the musketeers! The pikemen continue to protect the two wings!"

He ordered the musketeers to set up at least a hundred steps of alert in the east, west and north directions, and ordered the pikemen to guard on both sides of the road. Seeing that the thousands of young and strong refugees had already rushed south, Weizhou let out a long sigh of relief.

"The battle is over, soldiers go home!" Weizhou put away the telescope in his hand, turned his horse's head and shouted to the people around him.

Everyone shouted in unison, slowly guarded the team, and retreated to the south with strict vigilance all the way.

Behind them were the soldiers of the five big families chasing them in a panic. Now they were neither advancing nor retreating, and they always kept a distance of hundreds of steps.

If the militiamen could hold out for a while, they might be able to defeat the Keelung army, but now everything is too late!

The young people in the five big families could only watch the Keelung army team in the distance slowly disappear from their sight with hatred, and pick up the bodies and wounded and go back.

Weizhou led the crowd to push and pull the dozens of carts across the mountains and into the territory of Dawan Peninsula.

Dawan Fortress was not the famous lawless place at that time. It was a sentry post under the Lingnan Jinyi Dashan Guard, with dozens of officers and soldiers stationed there, but it was just an earthen wall. In terms of solidity, it was far less solid than those earthen villages in Jinping County.

There were only a few pitiful copper cannons on the wall, covered with green copper rust. Several Ming soldiers were lying on the ground of the wall in fear, secretly looking at the official road through the arrow holes on the parapet.

"Brothers above, listen!" The Keelung Army sent a few loud voices to shout loudly under the wall.

"We are just passing by here, don't care about other things! Let's keep out of each other's way! If you want to make friends, just make way! If you want your wife to remarry, your son to change his surname, and your parents to have no one to take care of them in their old age, just come and fight! Let's see who is better with swords and guns"

The captain in Dawan Fortress looked at the dozens of people under his command. Compared with those outside, they were only slightly better than those refugees.

Thinking about the scene he just saw when he went out, he still knew the power of the five families in Jinping, and even they couldn't do anything. If these few dozen people wanted to do something, wouldn't it be courting death?

"Damn it! The higher-ups haven't paid us for several months?! Why should we risk our lives?!"

The captain and a few confidants exchanged glances, and they understood each other.

They can't do a losing business!

"Good man! Let's make friends today! If you want to cross, just go ahead! Just don't make things difficult for your brothers and don't cross in vain!"

"Of course not!"

Leaving behind a cart of gold and silver, the army passed smoothly. Although the city was still jealous of other carts, Weizhou was not stupid and had already prepared for it. Fortunately, everything was safe and sound.

On the beach, while organizing the troops to cross the sea, he ordered the troops and refugees waiting to cross the sea to use the food brought by the cooking carts and the navy to have dinner on the beach. On the beach filled with the aroma of food, Weizhou suddenly became furious!

The more he thought about today's incident, the angrier he became. When it was time to eat, he could no longer hold back his anger.

"Zhou Di! Zhou Di!"

He loudly searched for his Guards officer on the beach.

"Sir, my subordinate is here!"

"Have you eaten yet?!"

"Have you guys had dinner?"

"Have the horses in the army been fed with fodder and their injuries checked?"

"Everything is ready and all horses are ready for battle!"

"Do you have the guts to go with me again?!"

"Sir, are you going to attack Kam Tin Wai for revenge?!"

After hearing the simple questions and answers from Weizhou and Zhou Di, a group of camp officers from the Keelung Army gathered around them. Even the refugees sitting around and devouring their dinner pricked up their ears to listen, fearing that they would miss something. information.

"We must fight! If we don't take this breath, our brothers won't be able to hold their heads up when we go back. But it's not tonight. We have to let the brothers go back to the island to take a breather, recuperate their spirits, sharpen their swords and guns, and then go find These local dogs are settling the score!”

While speaking, Zhou Di had already assembled his subordinates, the Guards, which consisted of less than fifty people. Although they had gone through a day of bloody battles, these guards were still full of energy and murderous spirit after simply eating a full meal and taking a short rest.

Weizhou's meaning is very simple, "Since the matter started in Shanpu, then I have to settle on Shanpu!"

After hearing what Weizhou said, Liu Wendou couldn't help but take a breath of air, thinking something was going to happen.

"Please rest assured, Magistrate Liu, the promise you made to a certain family before will still count. Those five families are the enemies of our Keelung Army. What relationship do they have with the magistrate? We agreed on silver coins before, as long as Shanpu is in my hands , Of course it belongs to you, and I will personally deliver it to you! As for the matter between me and the five families, please just sit back and relax in the county seat and pretend that you don’t know!”

After seeing off Weizhou, Liu Wendou collapsed on the steps. He looked up at the moonlight in Jinping County and couldn't help but sigh. He was afraid that the moon would be dyed red with blood from tonight on!
