With the sound of "quacking", Dongshui Gate was slowly pulled up.
Under the dim firelight, speedboats rushed in from outside the city.
The ragged Zhoushan pirates, with red lights flashing in their eyes, brandishing long and short knives and crossbows, rushed straight into the city of Hangzhou with excited and incomprehensible roars.
The prosperous Hangzhou instantly appeared directly in front of these pirates like a fragrant beauty.
"Come on, kill, brothers, treasures and beauties are all in front of you, charge!" A Zhoushan pirate just shouted the slogan, and the next moment, a big hand slapped him hard on the back of the head. .
A one-eyed dragon with a black eyepatch instantly appeared in the eyes of all the pirates. His tall and burly figure was extremely oppressive.
The one-eyed dragon looked at the former subordinate coldly, and then shouted to the others: "Brothers, there will be treasures and beauties, but first we must completely capture the city of Hangzhou, rush into the Governor's Mansion, and capture him alive. The new governor, Hangzhou is ours, we can take whatever we want from the beauty, money, and wealth."
"Surge into the governor's house and capture the new governor alive." The clever pirates had already shouted loudly.
The one-eyed dragon glanced sideways at Wen Yi, the commander of the black pawns wearing a black brocade suit, and the black pawns on several ships behind him, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Wen, do you have any other suggestions?"
Wenyi raised his eyes and glanced at the one-eyed dragon, and said softly: "Secure the city gate first, lest things change later and become a turtle in the urn."
"I have heard what Mr. Wen said, Fourth Brother, you lead people to seize the city gate..." As the one-eyed dragon shouted, more and more clippers rushed into Hangzhou City. The bustling atmosphere of Hangzhou City dazzled them. At the same time, it was a little difficult to move.
"Fourth, did you hear that? Hurry up..." The one-eyed dragon was halfway through shouting. At this moment, there was a "whoosh" of arrows in the air. A long arrow had been inserted into the throat of the one-eyed dragon, straight from the back of its head. Come out through.
Blood dripped directly from the tip of the arrow onto the boat, and the Cyclops made a "gurgling" sound from his mouth. He held the long arrow firmly with one hand, but the look in his eyes completely disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, without any hesitation, Wen Yi jumped directly into the water below.
There was a "plop" sound, bringing up bright water splashes.
Before anyone else could react, at this moment, countless "swish, swish, swish" sounds filled the air.
From high in the sky, countless rockets fell directly and struck hard on these clippers.
The pirates on the ship didn't react at all and were stabbed directly through. Read the book
Not only that, at this moment, countless rockets were shot out at the same time on the city wall that should have been in chaos.
Inside and outside the city, almost all the speedboats were immediately ignited with flames, and wailings broke out.
Before these pirates could recover from the rocket attack, in the river channel ahead, thick wooden logs followed the water of the channel and slammed into the clipper.
Some alert pirates had quickly jumped out of the water at this time.
Some tried to wash ashore, while others tried to swim out of Hangzhou with the current.
Even a fool can see that everything happening now shows that the entire city of Hangzhou is a trap.
Hangzhou City has long been prepared for the attack of these people, and even plans to catch them all.
Amidst the sound of "bang bang bang", a famous Kuaiji soldier rushed out from the shops on both sides.
The long spear in his hand penetrated the corpses of the pirates and black soldiers who rushed up in a blink of an eye, and the blood quickly filled the entire canal.
Massacres, bloody massacres were staged in the city of Hangzhou.
Not only that, in the Qiantang River outside Hangzhou, large ships were already turning rapidly.
He didn't even care about his companions who had fallen into the city, and immediately turned around and fled.
Standing on the Dongshui City Gate, Laisui felt speechless for a while when he saw this scene. He looked at Hangzhou Sima Yuan Yi beside him and asked in a low voice: "Sima, are these people so courageless?"
Come
So I originally expected that there would be a brutal naval siege, but now I saw that these pirates were escaping faster than rats.
Yuan Yi shook his head slightly and said: "If they really had the courage, then they would have been completely wiped out by the navy long ago."
Although the Zhoushan pirates have some strength, they are not comparable to the Hangzhou Navy. If they hadn't been running back and forth like mice, the Hangzhou Navy would have completely wiped out these pirates.
"Why hasn't the King of Nanchang come back yet? If these pirates are allowed to escape, we will be in trouble." Lai Sui suddenly became inexplicably restless.
Yuan Yi knew what he was thinking, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Yuanwailang. Even if these pirates escape, the black soldiers and pirates in the city alone are enough for me and others to get promoted." Already."
"After all, it's difficult to achieve perfection." Laisui smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Don't be afraid." Yuan Yi looked up at the pirate ship that was gradually moving away, and said softly: "The ship left by the Hangzhou Navy will follow them secretly, probably all the way to their home base. Even if they can escape now , I can’t run away either..."
Before Yuan Yi finished speaking, countless firelights suddenly lit up at the end of the dark river bend in the distance.
One after another, three-masted ships appeared in the light of the fire, and then used the ramming horn of the bow to ram hard into the large pirate ships that could not pick up the speed at all.
The pirate ship was suddenly in chaos.
Hangzhou Navy is back.
Li Xuan stood on the bow of the four-masted ship, looking at the sunk and surrendered pirate ships under the firelight with indifferent eyes.
Many sailors began to salvage the pirates who fell into the water.
Almost everyone had happy smiles on their faces. Not only did they get credit this time, but the most important thing was that they didn't have to go on an expedition to Silla.
Not everyone likes war, especially war in unfamiliar territory.
Veterans who have actually been to Silla know from the bottom of their hearts that this expedition to Silla will definitely be a chore.
There is only one reason and that is the weather.
It is already October, and by the time they arrive in Silla, it will probably be the end of October.
The weather in the Northeast is extremely cold, especially since they are from the south. The cold weather alone can kill less than half of them.
Now not only do they not have to go to Silla, but they can also get the rewards of the pirates as soon as they come back. These people are going crazy with joy.
Li Xuan placed her hand on the eight-sided Han sword and looked calmly at a dozen pirate warships. Some were already on fire, while others had completely surrendered. The entire Zhoushan pirate warships were completely wiped out this time, and no one was left behind.
The big ship moved forward slowly and finally docked at the pier.
As soon as Li Xuan got off the boat, he saw Lai Sui and Yuan Yi waiting on the dock.
Laisui stepped forward directly, gave Li Xuan a hug, and said with a wry smile: "You were almost late."
Li Xuan smiled and said, "We just came out of the Zhoushan bandit's lair."
"What?" Laisui and Yuan Yi's eyes widened immediately, and they blurted out subconsciously: "You took over the lair of the Zhoushan bandits?"
"Of course." Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Some people from the Zhoushan bandits have been watching the sea, as if they knew we were coming back. But we came back too early, and they didn't react at all. If someone went back to report the news, we would Then we fought into the lair of the pirates in Zhoushan."
After speaking, Li Xuan looked behind him and saw the soldiers who had followed him back, all holding their heads high.
Searching and killing the pirates' lair in Zhoushan was a lucrative job. Although most of them had to be turned over to the court, many of them still fell into the hands of the soldiers. Now, even this year can be very fulfilling.
Of course, they took a lot, and the King of Nanchang took even more.
At this time, Yu Ze came quickly, raised his hands to Li Xuan and said: "Prince Qi, in this battle, more than 300 Zhoushan pirates were captured, more than 400 were killed, and nearly 100 Wu Sheng Hei were captured. The pawn is captured and killed, please let me know what happens next."
"Wu Sheng Black Pawns, indeed, they should be called Wu Sheng Black Pawns from now on." Li Xuan smiled coldly and turned around to look at them.
Then he and Yuan Yi nodded and said, "Let's go and see what the outcome of tonight's battle is."
"Here!" Laisui and Yuan Yi didn't hesitate at all and immediately headed towards the city of Hangzhou.
Li Xuan stepped on the bow of the clipper, and the soldiers on both sides were already salvaging the bodies from the river.
The canals in Hangzhou are very important transportation channels and cannot be blocked easily.
There are even many people who usually fetch water from the canal for drinking. If they see the canal full of corpses tomorrow morning, they may not fetch water from the canal within three months.
Li Xuan looked at both sides of the quiet river and asked in a deep voice: "How are the losses in East City and West City?"
"The east city is fine. Although the west city has suffered some damage, it is not serious. There are a few wealthy businessmen in the south city whose homes were burned down by the remnants of Tianyin, but those are not their important properties. No one died, so it is not a big deal." Yuan Yi said it very lightly, and it was actually true.
In the entire Yangzhou City, the most important places are Dongcheng and Beicheng.
The Governor's Office of Hangzhou is located in the east of the city, and most of the officials live near the Governor's Office.
As for the north of the city, it is where most of the aristocratic families in Hangzhou live, especially on both sides of the canal.
Most of the houses in the west of the city are the villas of officials and local aristocratic families, especially in the area near the West Lake.
Moreover, most of the mansions and villas of these official families and local aristocratic families have a large number of guards.
In particular, Li Xuan once deliberately reminded Lu Yuanming that if Lu Yuanming couldn't handle it if he dared to do this, then no one would be able to complain.
As for Nancheng, most of the places where Nancheng is located are local Oritos and their bosses.
During the several years that Yuan Jiazuo was in Hangzhou, the people's livelihood was quite good. Although the people were not rich, they were much better than those in other states. With the power of Tianyin Sect, it was not even possible to preach deeply in Yangzhou, which is a clear proof.
But even so, there are still many poor families, many of whom are exploited by local aristocratic families and businessmen through various means.
Most of these families are common people and households living in and outside Nancheng.
Although there are few among these people, there are still many followers of Tianyin Sect.
In order to avoid being attacked on both sides, Lai Jingye decisively abandoned the South Gate and the West Gate.
Although Li Xuan disagreed, there was nothing he could do. Firstly, he was not an official in Hangzhou, and secondly, he was not in Hangzhou when the incident happened.
Moreover, facts have proved that the losses are indeed not large.
And those businessmen who are rich and unkind, if anything happens, it will happen, no one will look down upon them.
Near the southeast watchtower, Li Xuan came ashore with a calm expression.
There were already corpses lying on the ground, and blood flowed into the ditch one by one.
Yan Tao quickly walked out of the crowd, saw Li Xuan, and quickly raised his hands and said, "Yan Tao, the captain of Zhechong School in Kuaiji Prefecture, has met the king."
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and asked as she walked forward, "How was the harvest tonight, Colonel Yan?"
"More than four hundred innocent black soldiers were killed on the spot, but a team of less than a hundred people escaped into the West Lake in the West City, and then fled from the West Lake into the mountains. My subordinates have sent people to chase them. I hope We can catch up with the enemy." Yan Tao's eyes were a little solemn. Although they captured and killed many people today, the real leader still escaped.
"It doesn't matter." Li Xuan waved her hand slightly and said, "They are attacking Hangzhou this time because they want something else. If they don't get what they want, they will naturally be restrained in everything. It will be easy to capture them later."
Li Xuan raised his head and looked high in the sky. A red-bellied eagle was flying in the night sky, and his eyes fell on the entire city of Hangzhou.
