Zhou Buxin was right, the sergeants on the ship had turned into wolves.
For a month, they could not go anywhere and could only stay in the closed cabin, which was dark and damp. And as time went by, the smell in the cabin became more and more unpleasant. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty received a very good Military education, although they will not move around, the feeling of staying in the cabin makes them more and more uncomfortable.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all holding back their anger, and now they could finally let it out.
As Zhang Dingbian said, today's Ming Dynasty army can fight independently even if there is no general with them.
For example, there are five merchant ships now. The military personnel on each merchant ship are not subordinate to each other, but their actions are surprisingly consistent. They draw their swords and say: "Kill!"
No sound is needed. After the order is given, all the sergeants have only one action: take out their weapons and move forward!
Katcha!
The military boots stepped on the deck, and the movements were uniform and intimidating, enough to make everyone tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Hamid was also frightened. At his age, how had he seen such a battle before?
The hand holding the knife trembled slightly... However, the Ming Dynasty's sergeant would not stop because of his fear.
The sergeant who had just given the order had already set his sights on Hamid. He took three steps forward and came to Hamid, holding his long knife high.
When Hamid came to his senses, he could no longer dodge. He held the knife in both hands high to resist the attack.
Choking!
The two knives slashed at each other, and sparks shot out. Hamid's hands were numb from the shock. He secretly thought in his heart that the Ming army was so powerful. He knew that the enemy in front of him was difficult to deal with, so he did not dare to be distracted anymore and concentrated on dealing with it.
However, what he faced was not an ordinary enemy, but the Ming Dynasty's army.
Although the Ming Dynasty's army crushed the enemy with weapons, Zhu Han understood the importance of battle formations to the Ming army from the beginning of training.
Three-three system, five-five system... When three or five Ming armies form a battle formation, they can face three times the enemy without falling behind. Under Zhu Han's training, the Ming soldiers did not regard personal bravery as their own. Honor, but firm belief in achieving final victory.
One person is evenly matched with you Hamid, how can you still deal with three Ming troops?
When Hamid and the Ming sergeant were facing each other, two more Ming soldiers rushed out and attacked Hamid from the left and right respectively.
Hamid's military force in Maradi City was ranked high, but facing the three Ming troops, he quickly fell into a disadvantage. He cursed the Ming soldiers in his heart for not practicing martial ethics, but he had already begun to look for his own way out. .
But at the moment when he was distracted, Sergeant Daming seized the opportunity and slashed Hamid's wrist with a knife, directly cutting off the hand holding the knife.
"ah!"
Hamid dropped his weapon, covered his wrist in pain, and screamed.
Sergeant Daming's painful screams gave him a headache, and he slapped him on the head with the back of his knife, knocking him unconscious.
The noise disappeared immediately.
Hamid didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the soldiers he brought were suddenly leaderless. While they were frightened, their resistance gradually fell into a disadvantage.
There were only two ways left for them: either resist firmly and die, or kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Those who kneel and surrender will avoid death!"
The Ming sergeants shouted several times in the Maradi language. The Maradi sergeants threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender to the Ming army.
The captain who had given everyone the order before shouted to the signal soldiers: "Send the signal bomb immediately. The port is under our control. Immediately draw out a hundred people to support General Zhang and Lord Zhou!"
"yes!"
The signal soldier immediately took out the signal bomb from his waist, stood on the bow of the ship, pointed at the sky, and pulled the lead rope under the signal bomb.
Peng!
A red flare flew into the sky and could be seen throughout Maradi City.
A hundred soldiers and horses had already begun to run towards the palace to support Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin.
…
At this time, the palace was still filled with people drinking and drinking.
Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin did not object to the toast at all, and drank to everyone who came.
While they were enjoying themselves, a red flare went up into the sky. Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin both saw it... Sitarama also saw it, but he didn't know what the flare represented.
Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin knew very well. They looked at each other and immediately understood what the other person wanted to express.
Picking up the wine glass, Zhang Dingbian laughed and said: "Old Xi, is your son feeling better? Ask him to come over for a drink. He is the one who issued today's invitation. What if he doesn't come for a drink?"
"Huh? This..."
Sitarama smiled and didn't know what to say, so she could only make excuses: "This... this, General Zhang, he is not feeling well tonight, so why don't we let him out? What if we disturb General Zhang and Mr. Zhou again?" It’s not worth it if you’re enjoying your elegance.”
"How could it be? Your son is very courageous. He only adds to the fun, so how can he spoil it?"
Zhou Buxin said with a smile and looked at Sitarama: "Or is it that Hamid is not in the palace at all and cannot appear at all?"
"Ah, this..."
Sitarama, who originally had a ghost in her heart, became even more panicked when she heard Zhou Buxin's words. When she looked into Zhou Buxin's eyes, Sitarama couldn't even hold the wine glass in her hand firmly, and dropped it to the ground with a bang.
"Old Xi, what are you doing? Are you drunk?"
Zhang Dingbian smiled, as if watching Sitarama's joke, and then said to him: "You don't need to pay attention to Lao Zhou, he doesn't like to laugh in the first place, and he keeps a straight face all day long, you will be fine if you get used to it. "
Hearing Zhang Dingbian's words, Sitarama felt a little more at ease. She bent down to pick up the wine glass, but before he could pour the wine, Zhang Dingbian next to him said again: "Old Xi, you don't want to call me out." Hamid, how about I take you to find him?”
"ah?"
Sitarama paused suddenly while pouring the wine. She was really afraid that something might happen. What happened today? Why were Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin paying so much attention to Hamid?
It can't be... They already know that Hamid is not in the palace, right?
Sitarama is not a fool. Both Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin paid so much attention to Hamid, and the red fireball that just rose...all of this seemed to indicate that Hamid's plan to sneak attack the Ming Dynasty merchant ship failed.
If not, how could Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin keep holding on to Hamid?
Thinking of this, Sitarama's cold sweat broke out, and he cursed in his heart: "I told Hamid a long time ago that Daming is not that easy to deal with, but he just didn't listen, and now the sneak attack failed... Then Next, it’s time for Zhang Dingbian to settle accounts with him.”
Sitarama finally understood that he had been deceived.
Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin were acting with him from the beginning, and they deceived him firmly.
"Cunning Ming Dynasty, treacherous! Shameless! You tricked an old man into me!"
Knowing that she had been deceived, Sitarama felt helpless and furious in her heart. She cursed Zhang Dingbian for not practicing martial ethics, but there was nothing he could do. Now that Ming Dynasty had the upper hand, no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.
Now he has only one way to go: the fish will die and the net will break!
Sitarama is worthy of being the monarch of Maradi City. She was extremely panicked, but her hands became more and more steady. With a very uncomfortable fake smile on her face, she smiled and said to Zhang Dingbian: "What are you talking about, General Zhang?" , why don’t you just call Hamid, it’s okay...I’ll call him over right now!”
"good."
Zhang Dingbian did not stop him. He really wanted to see what other tricks Sitarama could pull off.
Zhou Buxin winked at the guard standing behind him and motioned him to go out and call the sergeant he brought over. At the same time, he calmly touched his sleeve.
What he carried in his two sleeve pockets was the short blade given to him by Zhang Dingbian. It was destined to be a fierce battle tonight... at least until reinforcements arrived, their situation would be very difficult.
From Sitarama's final strong and calm performance, Zhou Buxin could tell that Hamid was at the dock, but the Maradi monarch had other back-ups.
Now that he has come, he will be at ease. Now that Zhou Buxin has come, he has no fear in his heart.
Zhang Dingbian acted as calm as ever, drinking a small drink and waiting for Sitarama to appear.
…
Soon Sitarama returned.
Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. Sitarama's voice appeared in the hall: "General Zhang, Lord Zhou, I didn't find Hamid, but I brought another friend to introduce you to him."
After the voice fell, Sitarama appeared, followed by a big man with scars on his face, eight feet tall, wide and fat, with blond hair hanging down, resembling a lion.
Neither Zhang Dingbian nor Zhou Buxin said anything, and just looked at Sitarama. Sitarama also had a smile on her face. Anyway, they were about to break up. When it came to the decisive battle of life and death, Sitarama calmed down a lot and calmly said to her. Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin introduced the person he brought: "This is the boss of the shark-tooth pirate gang. His name is Blish. He was my former domestic slave and is now my confidant."
Shark tooth pirates?
Zhang Ding smiled. No wonder Sitarama rushed them to destroy the shark-tooth pirate gang as soon as they arrived in Maradi. It turned out that they were Sitarama's people.
With Sitarama as the inner ghost, it is surprising that Zhang Dingbian can wipe out the Shark Tooth Pirates.
Zhang Dingbian just glanced at Bullish and expressed his appreciation for Sitarama: "Well, I can see that your confidant general has two brushes."
"Of course, he was specially prepared by me for General Zhang."
Sitarama accepted Zhang Dingbian's praise calmly, and then said proudly: "I know General Zhang is brave, but for Maradi, I have to become an enemy of General Zhang. General Zhang... tell me, now The Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles, and it is difficult for their tentacles to get close to Maradi. You might as well seek refuge with me. I will let you be Maradi's side-by-side king. You and I are brothers... Otherwise, Blish will let you know, what He is Maradi’s number one general!”
"...the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles?"
Zhou Buxin looked at Zhang Dingbian with contempt in his heart.
How did this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked very honest, deceive Sitarama?
God, the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. How can Sitarama believe such a lame excuse? If the Ming Dynasty was really troubled internally and externally, how could they keep expanding outward?
We can't blame Zhang Dingbian for having a bad reason. We can only say that Sitarama was blinded by desire and was too easily fooled.
"Really? Then I need to learn a lesson."
Zhang Ding threw down his wine glass, stood up and looked at Bullish: "I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Blish was just Sitarama's house slave with a humble status. He couldn't understand what Zhang Dingbian said, but from Zhang Dingbian's eyes, he felt the disdain from Zhang Dingbian.
】
As the leader of the Shark Tooth Pirate Group and the largest pirate leader in the waters near Maradi, he has never encountered anyone who dared to challenge him. Zhang Dingbian was the first one. Naturally, Bullish would not show weakness, but instead challenged him. He stepped forward and punched Zhang Dingbian with his fist, but Zhang Dingbian dodged it nimbly.
"too slow."
Zhang Dingbian stretched out his index finger and shook it, then waved to Bullish, indicating for him to continue.
How could Blish endure this kind of insult? He stepped forward and prepared to continue the attack, but Sitarama next to him wanted to make a quick decision. When Blish's attack failed again, he immediately jabbered at Blish. The order means to let him fight quickly.
Bullish no longer hesitated, and immediately took out the two hammers hanging from his waist and smashed them towards Zhang Dingbian.
Zhang Dingbian took out the short knife he was hanging at the same time. When Blish raised his hand to hit someone, he suddenly took a step forward and turned sideways to avoid Blish's attack. The knife in his hand instantly cut him open. belly.
Bullish failed to hit a single blow, and wanted to continue attacking, but suddenly he couldn't walk anymore. He lowered his head and looked at his stomach in disbelief... This, this... Bullish looked at his intestines helplessly. It flowed all over the floor, then his eyes widened, and his body fell down unwillingly.
"..."
Sitarama just watched Blish fall, wailing in her heart.
This is his most powerful support!
Was he defeated by Zhang Dingbian just like that?
Then he is really a waste!
Sitarama cursed Blishshi as a waste in her heart, but she was also thinking quickly about how to deal with Zhang Dingbian next.
Zhang Dingbian became more and more relaxed. He pulled off the tablecloth and wiped the blood on the dagger. He smiled and said to Sitarama: "Old Xi, the general you rely on is not good enough. How about you bring in other generals and I will try them?" The quality?"
"Try it!"
Sitarama's scalp was numb and she couldn't help but curse. At the same time, she shouted loudly: "Come in! Come in! Kill Zhang Dingbian for me! Whoever kills the Ming Dynasty sergeant will get a reward of one hundred taels! Kill Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin, but even Upgrade to level three!”
The wealth was attractive, and Sitarama's control over them had reached the level of mental control. After his order was given, the hidden soldiers poured into the hall with weapons in hand.
"Haha, it seems that no one has any use for you, Lao Xi."
Zhang Dingbian did not cooperate at all, he laughed loudly and walked forward towards the charging enemy: "Then let me show you what a sergeant of the Ming Dynasty is!"
Zhou Buxin took out both swords at the same time, leaning back to back with another guard behind him, ready to attack the enemy at any time.
Zhang Dingbian was like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain, and the Maradi soldiers rushing towards him were like a group of lambs. They rushed into the crowd and chopped them down. No one was an enemy!
