Another capable middle-aged man walked around the house, putting his ear against the wall and listening carefully from time to time. And everyone in the room held their breath and left enough silence for this person.
After the man finished walking around, he came to Shen Zhou and clasped his fists and said, "Third brother, I'm sure that no one is watching us around this house."
"Fifth brother, thank you for your hard work." Shen Zhou responded to this person with a smile, and then tentatively asked everyone: "These people want our Xia Qingbu, but they are not willing to give more gold in exchange. But again They didn't attack us, but even entertained us warmly. They didn't even monitor us. Let's talk about it, what exactly do they want to do?"
Shen Zhou's words caused everyone to fall into deep thought.
Finally, it was Uncle Shen who spoke, "Clan leader, I think they have no ill intentions towards us. Maybe they want to keep us here because they want to show goodwill to us. Maybe if we are soft-hearted, we can send Xia Qingbu to us." Give it to them."
"Hahaha..." After hearing Uncle Shen's words, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Softhearted? Haha, when did they ever become soft-hearted? It's so whimsical.
Even if you can exchange a piece of summer green cloth for a gold cup and a gold pot, it is already a huge profit. However, as long as they think that this piece of summer green cloth can be exchanged for more, they will never let go.
Judging from the situation of their exchange today, it is obvious that they can exchange for more.
After laughing, Uncle Shen continued: "There is another reason, that is, they are also discussing and want to continue bargaining with us."
After Uncle Shen finished speaking, he stroked his beard and looked at Shen Zhou with a smile.
This time, although everyone did not laugh out loud, the smiles on their faces were even thicker, and they were even completely mocking these natives.
Want to bargain with us? But Shen Zhou and others never thought of bargaining with the natives.
They originally planned to exchange Xia Qingbu, but now that the natives refused to exchange, they had to adopt the second method.
That is, grab it!
Take advantage of him and steal all the gold here.
Through his observations during the day today, Shen Zhou has absolute confidence in this. So Shen Zhou sent people to sneak back overnight to inform the people on the ship, asking them to quietly lurk near the fence, and when the time came, they could rush in and snatch the gold.
Although the sky is still dark the next day, this is the time when people feel most sleepy.
Shen Zhou and others took the opportunity and took action in the dark.
The natives guarding the gate didn't even have time to make a sound before they were ambushed and knocked down by the Shen family. The group of people entered and went straight to the altar, joined Shen Zhou and others, and began to use sacks to rob the gold artifacts.
The natives who brought Shen Zhou and others in were restless today and could not sleep at night no matter what. Thinking about Shen Zhou and others asking them to exchange gold, he felt a headache. After rolling around for most of the night, I couldn't fall asleep. I couldn't wait any longer, so I got up, opened the door, and walked towards the dark house where Shen Zhou and others were.
But when he walked to the square, he suddenly heard something moving on the altar. You must know that the altar is an absolutely important place for the natives. The slightest movement can make the natives extremely nervous.
Therefore, the native became nervous instantly and subconsciously walked towards the altar. When he approached step by step and saw someone snatching the gold weapon, he suddenly became furious and started shouting.
Shen Zhou and others were startled by the sudden sound. Looking at the commotion around the square, they knew that it was inevitable to alarm these natives.
"Chief, what should we do now?" Some people felt guilty and felt cold sweat on their foreheads.
Shen Zhou calmed down quickly and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you afraid of? What if we are discovered? Can these barbarians stop us if we are discovered?"
Everyone thought, yes, the brass spears of these barbarians are nothing in their eyes. How can we stop them if we don't take them seriously at all?
Seeing that everyone calmed down, Shen Zhou shouted again: "Keep pretending and take everything away."
Since the natives could not see clearly and did not know who was snatching the gold objects on the altar, they closed the fence gate first, then surrounded the altar heavily and waited for dawn.
Today's sun is very powerful. As soon as it jumps out of the horizon, it instantly spreads sunlight to the indigenous people, illuminating everything brightly.
When they saw that it was Shen Zhou and others, the natives and native leaders who brought them in were angry. Especially the natives who brought them in were even more angry and roared loudly.
However, these natives still did not attack Shen Zhou and others. The roaring natives seemed to want Shen Zhou and others to put down their gold vessels and make atonement in front of the Sun God, so that they would not be embarrassed.
Shen Zhou's face was full of laughter, he picked his ears without caring, and smiled at the people around him: "What on earth is he talking about? Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Shen quickly praised: "Haha, I don't understand the Hui clan's long talk. But he probably wants us to return the gold to them."
"Return?" Shen Zhou sneered, "There is no reason to return the gold that fell into the hands of the leader of this clan. Fifth brother, bring your people forward, and kill anyone who blocks your way! Let's go!"
The person called by Shen Zhou nodded solemnly and led a group of warriors wearing fine steel armor forward to form an attack formation.
Where are the natives?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Have you ever seen any military formations? However, the natives still understood the attitude of Shen Zhou and others correctly. Seeing that Shen Zhou and others not only offended the Sun God and robbed the gold weapon, but also dealt with him so arrogantly.
The leader suddenly became angry and roared, and groups of natives came forward holding copper spears.
"Kill!" The Shen family yelled and rushed forward with a knife.
The natives also rushed forward to fight.
Due to the length advantage of the copper spear, the natives attacked the Shen family first. However, the copper spear pierced the Shen family's fine steel armor without leaving even a trace, and was completely blocked by the fine steel. It just made the Shen family feel shocked, even scratching their itch.
This scene made all the indigenous people stunned. They didn't understand why the magic weapon, which was always invincible, had no effect on these people.
Before they could understand, the Shen family's counterattack began.
They swung their sword hilts and knocked away the opponent's copper spear. Then they took advantage of the inertia of running and jumped up high, slashing Huashan in the head with all their strength. Many natives who did not react in time were immediately split in half. Even if some natives pulled back their spears in time to block, the spears could not stop them at all when faced with sharp steel knives forged from fine steel. He was cut into two pieces by a knife, and the steel knife left a long gap in the body of the native, and it was almost impossible to survive.
The stranger's ferocity was completely beyond the expectations of the native leader. In panic, he shouted loudly and directed more people to come forward to fight.
Compared to the panic of the indigenous leaders, Shen Zhou was just taking a leisurely stroll. What seemed like a tragic sacrifice to the natives was a completely one-sided massacre to Shen Zhou. Therefore, he was not afraid of the natives at all. He led a group of people carrying gold on their backs and walked on the road guarded by soldiers. He completely ignored the fire-breathing eyes of the natives and left calmly step by step.
No matter whether the natives were charging at close range with spears or throwing spears at the Shen family from a distance, they were all blocked by the soldiers. When the spear hit them, it just made a tinkling sound and then fell to the ground, completely useless.
When the natives saw that they were no match for these people in close combat, and that throwing spears had no effect at all, they were frightened and could only retreat a distance and surround these people from a distance.
Do you think that standing far away can’t do anything to you? The fifth son of the Shen family was covered in armor, grinned, and put away the long knife. He took off the bow and arrow from his back with his backhand and shouted sternly: "Everyone, open your bows."
Others heard the order and followed suit.
"shoot!"
When the natives were still wondering why these people put away their long knives, which were like magic weapons, and instead took out a strange-looking thing, before they could react, a rain of arrows came.
Phew~puff~puff~
The sound of the arrow piercing the flesh was dull and terrifying, and instantly a large number of miserable screams resounded all around, continuously.
The morale of the natives was reduced, and some even turned around and ran away, trying to avoid these unkillable devils.
The leader was also panicked, but he was still sober and knew that no matter what, he could not let outsiders take away the gold vessels used to worship the Sun God, otherwise their tribe would definitely be punished by the Sun God and face disaster.
The leader immediately shouted something loudly, and those who wanted to escape stopped for a moment, then came back to join in blocking the outsiders, even if they were shot to death by arrows or chopped to death with long knives the next moment, they And never retreat.
Although the Shen family is well-equipped, after all, they only have a large number of people carrying gold on their backs, and not many can wear armor and go into battle. Although no one has been injured so far, after fighting hard one after another, these people's physical strength has been consumed by less than half.
Shen Zhou saw that the gate of the fence was completely blocked by three layers inside and three layers outside. He knew that although these natives had poor weapons, their personal strength was not small. Although the opponent can be killed easily, the opponent's counterattack can also consume a lot of physical strength of the Shen family.
And in this heavy siege, once the physical strength is exhausted, even if you have a magical weapon, your thinking will definitely jump. After all, ants can bite elephants to death, let alone humans?
So, Shen Zhou decisively gave the order: "Don't rush to the door. Let's break the fence and rush out."
As soon as Shen Zhou finished speaking, Shen Lao Wu immediately understood. He drew out his long knife and slashed twice at the fence, and then rammed it directly like a bull.
"Crash, clatter..." The wooden boards were torn apart and fell to the ground, and a hole was suddenly broken in the fence.
The others followed suit, and in just a moment, a section of the fence three to four feet long was completely destroyed. The Shen family changed direction and rushed out through the breach in the fence, escaping the numerous obstructions of the natives.
Of course, the natives were not willing to let the Shen family go. They immediately started shouting and chased the strangers out to surround them again.
A good man will not suffer the immediate disadvantages. The enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered. The Shen family is not fools who would choose to confront the natives head-on. Just fight and walk, retreating towards the direction of the stopped ship.
The natives had absolutely no way to cause harm to the Shen family, let alone stop them. They could only fall behind and drag these strangers back.
But such a price was too tragic. The indigenous people walked with their bodies buried almost all the way, and their blood dyed the road red.
Just when the indigenous leader was in inexplicable grief and unable to stop the Shen family, Han Du emerged from the hillside.
Han Du was very lucky. Along the way north, he actually discovered six large ships. What else is there to say? Just go up and do it!
These ships were also discovered
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The Ming Dynasty Navy's Ming Golden Dragon Flag was immediately frightened out of their wits. They wanted to escape by boat, but how could the speed where they were originally docked compare with Han Du's speed of sailing at full speed? Before they could increase the speed of the boat, they were intercepted by Han Du.
The Shen family members knew that falling into Han Du's hands would be more terrifying than death, so they resisted desperately, but just like an ignorant child facing a strong adult, they had no power to resist.
Even though Handu only has three ships, these three are all warships.
Although the Shen family also installed cannons on the ship after suffering Han Du's losses, their cannons did not solve the problem of recoil. They did not dare to install powerful cannons at all and could only install some less powerful cannons. And there are not many like this, and there is no way to compare them with Han Du's warships.
Moreover, the range of their cannons was much lower than that of Handu's warships. Handu could easily deal with them by just swimming outside their range without getting close.
With just one salvo, six large ships were hit one after another, and the roaring water burst into the cabins. The people on the boat were either unlucky enough to be hit by a cannonball and were shattered to pieces, or they were trying to escape by jumping into the sea.
Han Du saw that the overall situation was decided, so he docked the warship, and then had people guard the beach waiting for the people flopping in the sea to come ashore one by one, and then capture them without mercy.
From the prisoners' mouths, Han Du learned that their family leader actually brought the elite ashore to steal gold, and he immediately became interested.
Shen Zhou likes gold, and so does Han Du. If you come across it, you can't miss it.
Hence, the scene just now happened.
Han Du held up the telescope and saw a group of people wearing Ming Dynasty costumes being dragged by a group of natives. It's a pity that these natives don't even have a decent attack, so it's hard to do anything to those people.
Putting down the telescope, Han Du murmured to himself: "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings. The Shen family is such a rubbish. I didn't expect that they would start shaking when they got here."
"Jiang Ming, go and let the Shen family understand what a real fight between two armies is, a battle formation charge." Han Du shouted casually.
"The general will obey the order." Jiang Ming has long been dissatisfied with this. Even though the Shen family members are among the natives, they are very impressive because of their well-equipped equipment. In fact, in Jiang Ming's view, this is a group of idiots who don't know how to fight, and they are messing around. The attack and defense are in disarray, the advance and retreat are inconsistent...it's simply full of loopholes.
If he, Jiang Ming, had led the army, even without firearms, he would have penetrated the siege of the indigenous people with his sophisticated equipment. Repeated twice, he directly separated the indigenous people, and then concentrated his troops in one place. Easily kill them everywhere.
Where can I fall into a quagmire-like situation?
Seeing Jiang Ming rushing down with his troops, Han Du smiled and said: "Raise the flag, blow the trumpet, tell the Shen family that I, Han Du, are here!"
Woo~~woo~~
The sudden sound of the horn made Shen Zhou's scalp tingle. Subconsciously he raised his head and looked around, his face suddenly turned pale, uglier than seeing a ghost. His lips instantly turned black and blue, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ming, Ming Golden Dragon Flag...Han, Han Du is coming after me?"
Shen Zhou was filled with regret now. Why didn't he listen to the elder and go south with him? If he could go south now, he would not be afraid of no matter how sultry the weather was or how blazing the sun was.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world!
Others also saw the exquisite flag fluttering in the wind, with a red silk base and a lifelike golden dragon embroidered with gold thread authorized by the Ming Emperor. When the wind blows the flag, the golden dragon seems to come to life, the mighty dragon of the Ming Dynasty. It seemed to have turned into something tangible and suppressed everyone's hearts.
Those people who were originally showing ferocious faces and slaughtering the natives one-sidedly, when they turned around and saw the Ming Golden Dragon Flag, they didn't even care about the natives in front of them, and allowed the natives' copper spears to pierce them, without any thought. reaction.
His eyes were completely occupied by the waving flags, and the grin on his face instantly turned into panic. They were so arrogant towards the natives just now, and now they are so afraid.
"Run out, run away! Run away! Run away!" Shen Zhou no longer pretended to be a gentleman strolling among the rebellious army. He only had one thought now. His ship and his family were definitely ruined, but he couldn't die. As long as he didn't die, the Shen family would still have hope.
When he was at sea, he abandoned too many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the name of the head of the family. In order to prevent him from being hated and retaliated against in the future, all those who were abandoned were abandoned by the whole family, leaving absolutely no hidden dangers.
But he didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly, and he finally felt the pain of abandoning his wife and son. However, this feeling only flashed through his heart, and he didn't even have time to take a breath before he threw it aside.
Because Shen Zhou didn't have time to feel the pain now.
The Shen family wanted to escape, but the natives refused to let them do so.
Although the strangers who came later seemed to have bad intentions, the Shen family still brought with them the gold vessels they used to worship the Sun God. If they could not get them back, their entire tribe would be doomed.
The two powers harm each other, whichever is the lesser. Of course, the natives must hold back these robbers who are robbing the gold.
Seeing that the natives were holding them back, Shen Zhou suddenly came to his senses and shouted quickly: "Quick, throw down all the gold..."
Sure enough, as the Shen family threw the gold down, the natives quickly stepped forward and took the gold back. He no longer tried his best to hold them back, but stood still and guarded against all outsiders.
