Seeing that four or five of his soldiers were beating up a single Red Yi soldier, Zheng Shao realized that tonight was a life-and-death contest. If he couldn't bring out ten percent of his fighting spirit, he would be hard-pressed to win. Victory.
This reminds Zheng Shao of his battle with the pirate Liu Xiang. Among the Zheng family, his uncle Zheng Xiyuan, and his brothers Zheng Judang, Zheng Juchang, Zheng Wuzai, Zheng Liangqi, Zheng Jiadoo, Zheng Wan and others all died in the battle.
In order to dominate the southeastern coast, the Zheng clan tried their best and paid an extremely heavy price. Now Zheng Ju was injured and defeated, and his life and death were uncertain. Yu Gong and Zheng Shao must stabilize their position and repel the red barbarians. Personally, I want to avenge my brother.
Zheng Shao saw a tall guy in front of him who was dressed completely different from the ordinary Red Yi soldiers. He looked like he might be the leader of the Red Yi soldiers. Suddenly he had an idea and thought of the strategy of capturing the thief first and the prince first, so he came up with this guy's idea.
"Come on! Surround and kill this guy! I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"
Zheng Shao pointed at a sturdy red barbarian who was less than six or seven steps away with his sword. When a tooth general and nine soldiers nearby saw the profit, they swarmed up and planned to take his head to receive the reward.
"……Um?"
Captain Hackenmaier, the captain of the Dutch army, was directing the battle. He had already killed three pirates one after another with a hammer and wounded five others. He was full of murderous intent when he saw another group of pirates rushing towards him with a roar. , even more without fear.
He saw that the guy commanding this group of pirates had different armor and seemed to be a senior general of the Zheng army, so he wanted to kill him and take him back to explain to Colonel Jansen.
There were too many pirates on the mountain. After killing one group, another group rushed over, and more and more pirates were attacked. It became almost an impossible task to destroy the pirates' artillery positions.
In view of this, Captain Meyer thought that killing a Zheng Army general might be a good way to avoid being criticized by his superiors. Moreover, this general seemed to regard himself as his prey, so he should give it a try.
Meier, who is 1.85 meters tall, holds a sword in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand. He wears an iron helmet with a hood and a breastplate on his head. He looks like a moving mountain. He takes two strides and meets Zheng Shao's. The soldiers are fighting in one place.
The tallest of these Eastern pirates is only 1.7 meters tall. They are generally half a head or even a head shorter than Meier. Their strength is not at the same level. They are more like Dutch soldiers without formal military training.
"Ouch~!"
One of Zheng Shao's soldiers first attacked the strong Hongyi in front of him, but the waist knife he slashed at him did not touch the opponent's body and was blocked by the iron sword. Instead, he received a hammer and was painfully injured. He screamed and fell to the ground.
The originally neat Zha armor collapsed directly at the injured area. The strength of this was really unexpected. It felt like even the bones inside were going to be broken directly by this big Hongyi man.
"Suffer death!"
Another soldier who sneak attacked from behind found an opportunity, but his knife hit the opponent's back directly, which was also protected by a breastplate. The advantage of the breastplate is that it can defend against cold weapons. cut.
In the era when there were no firearms in the West, in close combat, only blunt weapons, such as sledgehammers, could break armor and injure protected enemy soldiers. Some heavy swords could also do the same, but light swords such as waist knives were difficult to cut through the chest. Got it.
"ah……"
Meier hated the guy who launched a sneak attack from behind him the most. He instinctively turned around and hit the soldier with a backhand hammer without any bias, hitting the soldier's head directly, smashing his head open, and he died instantly. A corpse.
He is not left-handed. The iron sword in his left hand only acts as a shield to block the pirates' attacks. However, the real threat and damage is the hammer in his right hand. As long as it is struck, the pirates will be in agony.
The pirate attack just now also aroused the anger in Meier's heart. A group of reptile-like guys also tried to stop him. They were really overestimating their abilities. Then they could be sent to hell.
He spotted a pirate, strode forward, raised the iron sword in his left hand, waved it in the air, and dropped it quickly, scaring the pirate into hastily using his sword to counterattack.
But this fell into Meier's trick. When the opponent was shocked, he picked up the hammer, aimed at the left side of the opponent's waist, and hit the opponent with a hammer.
"Well……"
Although the soldier's waist was also protected by armor leaves, it was a relatively fragile part of the body after all. He suddenly felt pain, and his body bent into a bow shape. He choked on something, but could not speak, so he could only lie on the ground and start. Shivering.
This situation shocked the surrounding soldiers and Zheng Shao himself. This Hongyi must be too good at fighting. He wounded and killed as many as three people in just three seemingly simple blows, like a vicious monster.
In the face of absolute power, except for the numerical advantage, the attacks of Zheng Shao's soldiers were almost insignificant to the prey they wanted to hunt. Instead, the prey became the hunters and began to hunt the target in the opposite direction.
"I come!"
The other party wounded three of his subordinates. Zheng Shao was so angry that he flew into a rage. He grabbed the sword that was held by a soldier beside him. With a quick step, he jumped over and flew into the air, intending to fall down and kill this big red barbarian man. Split in half.
"Dang~!"
Seeing the opponent's general charging towards him in person, the attack seemed to be full of strength. Meier did not dare to be careless and placed the iron sword in front of him for protection. The weapons of both sides collided with each other and immediately made a crisp sound.
Although the blade of the iron sword was very narrow, it was carefully forged by Dutch craftsmen. The quality and craftsmanship were far better than the sabers used by ordinary soldiers of the Zheng army, so it was not cut off by Zheng Shao.
"Go to hell!"
After receiving this powerful blow, Meier resumed his old plan, picked up the hammer, and hit Zheng Shao on the head. As long as he hit, the general would be his prey.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Shao hurriedly lowered his body to avoid the opponent's counterattack. He had just seen the power of the hammer in Hong Yi's hand, but it should not be underestimated. This weapon was Hong Yi's biggest killer.
The situation was such that he had to go with the flow. Zheng Shao did not care about the majesty of the general. He held the saber in his hand and rolled on the spot to avoid the opponent's pounce. He went around to the side and rear of the prey, raised the saber and struck from below. Come up and pick it up.
"Dang~!"
The clumsy Meier could not twist his body in time, but his arms could allow the iron sword to be attached to possible dangerous places to protect his flanks.
He instinctively turned his left wrist and raised the iron sword near his left ribs, just in time to catch the pirate leader's sneak attack. Then he turned around quickly and swung the hammer held in his right hand.
"Hiss...damn it!"
Zheng Shao was very annoyed when he failed to succeed. In front of this strong Hongyi man, he could only rely on his short stature and flexible movements to deal with him. It was no longer possible to defeat him.
If the Red Yi soldiers are as difficult as this guy, he is afraid that the thousand soldiers he brought may not be able to defeat a hundred Red Yi soldiers.
The surrounding soldiers did not dare to rush forward to kill the red barbarian. If they helped the master, it would be a bad thing, and they meant to take credit, which would cause misunderstandings.
After fighting twice, Zheng Shao knew that his opponent had an absolute advantage in strength, so Zheng Shao deliberately did not fight with him, but instead circled his prey, intending to find its weaknesses before striking.
It was not easy for Meyer to catch this pirate leader who was as nimble as a rabbit. He also had to guard against sneak attacks from behind, so he had to be more cautious.
"Come together! Kill this Hongyi and I will reward you with two thousand taels of silver!"
Being unable to fight made Zheng Shao even more angry. He had plenty of money, but what he lacked was the results of the battle. He could go back and report to his brother Zheng Zhi'ao.
We fought hard with the Red Yi soldiers tonight, and I'm afraid that our troops will suffer heavy losses. If we can't kill a few Red Yi leaders, we will have to be scolded by my brother again.
Moreover, as a partial general, Zheng Shao also planned to take advantage of the opportunity of his own troops to attack high-ranking officers, so as to gain some advantage for himself, so that he could recruit a deputy chief soldier or even a chief soldier officer to sit with him.
He didn't dare to think about it as an earl, but the commander-in-chief could do it. As long as he had positive results and the money was in place, he would be able to honor his ancestors when the squadron triumphed.
"Kill Hongyi!"
Encouraged by the silver, Yajiang shouted loudly and rushed forward with his sword in hand. No matter how powerful you are, you can't hold back the overwhelming number of people on your side.
"Attack its lower path!"
Zheng Shao was afraid that his own soldiers would suffer again, so he hurriedly gave some advice. These people were his direct followers. Instead of going through life and death for many years, he was reluctant to let these people die on the sand dunes.
The soldiers are also veterans with rich combat experience. They know that this Hongyi is difficult to deal with, so they can only attack on its weak points. Since the master said that the lower body is easy to attack, then they will target Hongyi's legs. superior.
"A bunch of reptiles!"
When Meier saw that the pirate leader no longer planned to fight him alone, he ordered his surrounding subordinates to fight against him. Although Meier didn't understand his order, he thought it was definitely not a good thing.
After fighting for several rounds, Meier also understood the abilities of these pirates. As long as you don't use bows and arrows to attack them, what can you do if you swarm them?
But this time, the pirates' attack techniques had changed significantly. The swords struck at his legs. This made Meier a little stunned. In order to avoid being slashed, he had to bend down to parry.
"shameless!"
Meier was not willing to fight in this posture. It was really uncomfortable for him, and it easily consumed his energy quickly.
It really felt like he was fighting a group of monkeys, but the opponent was so numerous that he could no longer control the situation on the battlefield.
However, the moves in his hand were not obviously scattered due to his bad mood, and he was still playing with precision, which was difficult for Zheng Shao's soldiers to bear, and one more wounded soldier was added.
"I'm going to attack his head! You're going to chop off his legs! Let's do a two-pronged attack! Step up!"
When Zheng Shao saw that he was still unable to fight, he tried another trick and asked a soldier to put his hands on his knees. He took a few steps back to help him run, and stepped on the palm of the soldier's hand.
The soldiers dragged hard, causing Zheng Shao to take off in an instant, one person high. He held a sword and slashed at Hong Yi's head for the second time. This time, the angle was much better than the last time. With the soldiers cooperating with the siege, he would definitely be able to win by surprise. .
"……Um?"
Meier was secretly surprised when he saw the monkey-like pirate leader jumping so high that he was half as tall as himself. He immediately instinctively blocked it with his iron sword. His attention was attracted by the opponent, and his lower body appeared. loopholes.
Although he was protected by a hammer, Zheng Shao's tooth general still slashed his thigh with a zanma sword. The blade of the sword did not penetrate into the bone, and the wound was not too deep, but the blood continued to flow, causing Meier extreme pain.
"Ah~! Damn monkey!"
Meyer swung the mace and hit the guy who injured him, but this didn't make him feel any better. The pirate leader's broadsword hit his shoulder, and the blade had cut into the chest armor until just under the skin.
"this……"
It was a pleasure to hit Hong Yi in front of him, but Zheng Shao found that he couldn't pull out the sword quickly with both arms, and the weapon was stuck in it, which was a bit embarrassing.
"go to hell!"
The furious Meier stabbed him with his iron sword, wanting to kill the leading "monkey" first. Only by killing him could he relieve his hatred.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Shao hurriedly let go of his sword, and grabbed the sharp sword of the iron sword. His hands were bleeding profusely, but in order to prevent his torso from being injured, he ignored the heart-piercing pain.
"Protect Master!"
The situation was extremely critical. General Ya shouted and swarmed forward with his five remaining soldiers. At this time, the family leader must not be killed by Hong Yi, otherwise they would also suffer.
Meier, who was just about to use a hammer to kill the pirate leader in front of him, saw other pirates trying to surround him, so he gave up attacking the primary target and kicked away the monkey in front of him. He dragged an injured leg and fought hard against the remaining pirates who did not know whether to live or die.
"Well……"
Zheng Shao covered his lower abdomen with his injured palm, feeling that his intestines were about to be kicked out by the Hongyi beast. He choked twice and was unable to speak. His face was slumped and the corners of his mouth were twitching.
"This place is dangerous! Master, leave quickly!"
Two soldiers hurriedly ran over to support Zheng Shao. If he continued to fight here, he would probably be destroyed. This Hongyi was indeed not an easy person to deal with.
"No! We must not withdraw! But our general is here! Our officers and men must fight hard!"
Zheng Shao refused to withdraw his troops because he was injured. Once he withdrew, the soldiers would lose their fighting spirit. One thousand people were killed by two to three hundred red barbarians. How could he have the honor to see his brother when he went back? Isn’t this the same virtue as Zheng Ju?
Putting aside the title of Chief Military Officer, he still wanted to reward Zheng Ju. Now that he had withdrawn, it was an old grudge that had not been avenged, and a new grudge was added. He could even imagine Hong Yi's hateful ridicule when he closed his eyes. .
"Don't kill this guy! Don't withdraw your troops! Get the knife!"
Thinking of this, Zheng Shao used both arms to break away from the soldiers on the left and right, trying to seize the waist knife in the hands of the soldiers. So many people surrounded a Hongyi, and they actually killed four of them. It was an unheard of shame and humiliation.
"I'm holding the battle next to you! I'll go up and kill you!"
The soldiers did not dare to let the injured head of the family go into battle again, so they had to call two ordinary soldiers over for protection, and they went to help General Ya and others.
This Hongyi was so terrifying, like a colorful tiger, but it had come to this point and there was no way to retreat. Behind him was the vast sea, and the owner of the family was injured, so he had to fight to the death with it.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, tonight, even if I risk my life, I will kill this red barbarian and avenge the family head and many dead brothers.
At this time, General Ya only brought three soldiers to deal with Hongyi. At this time, almost everyone was injured, and he did not dare to retreat hastily, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on...
