In addition to Alaric's sailboat, there are also several small fishing boats at the pier, as well as Tang Ping's cruise ship.
There are more than 200 residents in the dock, so taking them away together is not a big problem.
The biggest problem is where they are going. They can't just float on the sea all the time!
Alaric couldn't help but think about it at this time. He said directly to Locke: "Notify everyone and go to the dock immediately and bring a few days of food and the silver coins you just earned."
Anyway, as long as you have silver coins in your hand, you can always buy food.
If you lose your life, there will be nothing left.
Locke nodded and hurried towards the dock.
Tang Ping asked Lao Cui and others to guard the entrance of the pier, and also went in to help the residents of the pier evacuate.
The entrance was narrow, so Lao Cui and the others were able to guard it for a while by wearing the stab-proof clothing prepared by Tang Ping and relying on the strong bows and crossbows in their hands.
What's more, it will take some time for the other party to reach it, as long as the residents in the dock can evacuate as soon as possible.
Entering the pier, it was already very busy.
Many residents had made money recently and asked Alaric to bring a lot of things when they came back from Watt City. Now that they are leaving, they are reluctant to leave behind the things they just bought.
Alaric, Locke, and Tang Ping could only help everyone run to the dock while urging them.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Mary looked at her home and cried.
Although it is still a bit dilapidated, the whole family has slowly built it up piece by piece, stone by piece.
I thought the days would get better and better, but I didn't expect disaster to strike so quickly.
"Let's go, Mary, we will have our new home." Locke whispered beside her, then picked up a package in her hand and headed towards the dock.
Soon, all the residents of the pier gathered on the pier. Tang Ping asked Alaric and Locke to take everyone aboard, and he returned to the entrance of the pier.
"There's still one mile left." At this time, hiding on the upper floors of several huts at the entrance to the pier, the menacing army could already be seen.
Obviously, these people did not come here to chat with Tang Ping and others.
"Teach them a lesson!" A cold light flashed in Tang Ping's eyes. Even if he was homeless again, he was not such a broad-minded person.
I have already given you all the formulas, but you are actually blocking the door and trying to silence someone, so don't blame yourself for being rude.
Whether it was Lao Cui and the other guards following Tang Ping, or the sailors on Li Siwen's ship, which one was easy to offend?
After hearing Tang Ping's order, they all started to take action.
Only Li Siwen stood there blankly.
"Never killed an enemy?" Tang Ping asked Li Siwen.
Li Siwen nodded. He grew up in Chang'an and then studied at the Maritime Academy, but he had never been on the battlefield.
"Can you do archery?" Tang Ping asked again.
Li Siwen nodded again. If Li Ji's son couldn't even shoot an arrow, he would probably have his butt swollen by Li Ji at home.
"That's fine!" Tang Ping took a pair of bows and arrows and handed them to Li Siwen: "Hide behind the window for a while. Just shoot arrows when we tell them to. If the enemy counterattacks with bows and arrows, don't show your head, understand?" "
Li Siwen could only nod his head at this time. Who knew that after traveling thousands of miles away, he would still need to fight.
The buildings in this dock were originally built around mountains, and the entrance was a mountain col. For Lao Cui and the others, it was a perfect terrain. When the soldiers approached the dock, they had already drawn their long knives, held a torch in one hand and began to speed towards the dock.
However, Lao Cui and the others remained silent until almost a hundred or so people entered the dock before they suddenly started to attack.
The feathered arrows fell one after another. At this distance, they could easily hit the target without aiming.
There were some flammable objects that they had piled up at the entrance. Little did these soldiers know that their traces had been discovered by Tang Ping and others who had telescopes. Although they saw some firewood and thatch piled on both sides of the entrance, it was only a little strange. .
At this time, several rockets fell, and the thatch at the entrance soon burst into flames with thick smoke.
"Ahem, cough, cough, there's an ambush!"
"Be careful, everyone, be careful!"
The sudden attack, these people did not even figure out where the attack came from at the first time.
Most of the people were stopped outside, and a few had their clothes set alight by the fire and were rolling on the ground wailing.
Some of them died directly under the bows and arrows of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, lying straight on the ground.
Several rounds of random shooting followed. Although Tang Ping and the others only had thirty people, the number of people who entered the dock now was only a hundred or ten. They quickly shot a large area, and the rest began to run away with their heads covered.
People outside did not expect to encounter such a situation. Without fire extinguishing equipment, they could only watch the fire at the entrance of the pier.
"Okay, let's clean up below. Let's retreat and burn everything here!"
Tang Ping didn't intend to hold back, since the enemy wouldn't be able to get in for a while anyway, so they went straight down and replenished those who came in alive. After seizing their weapons, they started setting fires everywhere inside the dock.
These dock residents can't come back, so don't leave anything behind for them.
There is still some wine here that has not been sold and cannot be taken away. Tang Ping wants to burn it all down.
As for the William brothers, we can just think of ways to deal with them in the future.
With Lao Cui and the others, they returned to the dock with the captured weapons.
Alaric also waited here nervously with a weapon in his hand. He was relieved when he saw that it was Tang Ping and the others who came back.
"Are you okay?" Alaric asked.
"It's okay!" Tang Ping and the others also waved their captured weapons: "We killed seventy or eighty people. These are their weapons. We have all brought them."
Civilians are not allowed to own weapons, and Alaric's weapons are all kept privately by him, but now that he and Brother William have broken up, he doesn't care so much.
Letting Tang Ping and the others board the ship first, Alaric took one last look at the pier that was engulfed in flames, and then boarded his sailboat.
Putting down the sail, taking advantage of the evening breeze, Alaric's sailboat towed Tang Ping's cruise ship away from the dock and headed north.
Tang Ping's cruise ship is a big killer at sea, and diesel can be saved until the critical moment.
Many dock residents stood on the deck of the cruise ship and shed tears looking at their burning homes.
"Let's go northwest first. There is a small island there!" Alaric pointed to the northwest and said: "We call it Berengar. Let's go there and settle down now."
Although it's not too far away, as long as it's on the sea, they don't have to worry about Brother William coming for the time being.
Moreover, the pier was burned down immediately. After those people entered the pier, how could they possibly know where they had gone?
