Become a feudal king from today

Jinghai County.

Manshan Village.

There were screams and miserable cries everywhere.

The huts in the village were set on fire, filling the air with flames and smoke.

The ground was covered with the corpses of men from the village, and the soil was stained red with blood.

The woman hugged her child tightly, but was forcibly separated by the pirates and dragged to the warship parked on the sea.

"Mom, mother..." A girl about five years old hugged her mother tightly and did not let go.

The pirate who lost his patience suddenly picked up the girl and threw her to the ground.

The girl fell heavily to the ground and made no sound again.

"Hong'er, Hong'er..." The girl's mother went crazy and bit the pirate's arm hard.

The pirate was in pain, his face suddenly distorted, he pulled out the Japanese long knife from his body and stabbed it in the back.

The woman struggled for a moment, but made no sound again.

"Bad luck!" The pirate pushed the woman's body away with his kick and shouted to his companions: "Move quickly, maybe the officers and soldiers are already searching for us."

"Captain, are you leaving like this? The villages you robbed are too poor and you didn't get much money. Why not go deeper and grab some money and go back?" said a pirate.

"The island owner only asked us to destroy King Yan's fleet, and allowed you to loot for two days. This has violated the island owner's order. If it is known, we will all be punished." The pirate, known as the captain, looked serious.

"You have already violated the island owner's order, why not take the risk and grab something." Another pirate booed.

"Do you want to die? This King Yan is not an easy character to deal with." the captain said sternly.

All those who can be pirates at sea are desperadoes and difficult to discipline.

So he emphasized his tone.

"That's because King Yan didn't meet us, and those soldiers beat the crap out of us." Another pirate said.

"Hahaha……"

The other pirates laughed at this.

The captain couldn't help but smile proudly on his stiff expression.

What the crew said was not unreasonable. They had matchlock guns.

"Okay, let's loot a few more villages inside and then retreat to the sea tomorrow. If anyone dares to say no again, I won't be polite." The captain said angrily.

The pirates cheered and raised their matchlock guns high.

…

"Captain Bai, you are finally here."

Jinghai County.

Song Cang almost burst into tears when he saw the royal army entering from the city gate.

The Ship Department was attacked and burned to the ground, and Chen Shou returned to Yancheng injured.

In the past two days, there have been reports of pirates attacking the village.

The entire Jinghai County is in panic.

Although he was impatient, he had no soldiers and only a few government officials, so he was unable to stop the pirates from running rampant in Jinghai County.

Bai Shang's face turned frosty.

It only takes more than a day's journey from Yancheng to Jinghai County.

After receiving the order, he set out early yesterday morning, traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Jinghai County at noon.

"Is there any news about the pirates now?" Bai Shang asked.

He is Chang Wei's old subordinate, and his temper is as fiery as Chang Wei.

Having suffered a loss at the hands of the pirates, the entire royal family was disgraced.

This time, Chang Wei gave him a death order.

If pirates are discovered, all must be annihilated.

"Yes, some people just came to ask for help. The pirates attacked Manshan Village and are now looting other villages." Song Cang said.

"Lead the way immediately." Bai Shang said.

Although the day and night of marching was tiring, now he must attack.

Because delay means that the people of the four northern counties will die at the hands of pirates.

"General, follow me." Song Cang asked people to bring horses and personally led the soldiers of the palace.

After leaving Jinghai County and walking less than twenty miles eastward, everyone saw black smoke rising from the ground.

No doubt pirates were plundering there.

This time Bai Shang brought 5,000 troops to station in Jinghai County, as well as 12 field guns drawn by horses.

After roughly confirming the location of the pirates, he immediately ordered his troops to divide into two groups to outflank the pirates.

"With six field guns in each line, seize the opportunity to bombard the whole group." Bai Shang ordered his generals.

"Yes, Captain." In response, the generals led their troops away.

Yangzi Village.

The pirates were in the midst of a plundering spree.

They had no idea that they were surrounded by the royal family's troops.

When a pirate spotted soldiers wearing silver armor appearing outside the village, he immediately shouted, "The officers and soldiers are coming."

When the sound came, the pirates immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered together.

Seeing the large number of officers and soldiers, the pirate captain secretly thought something was wrong.

Apparently the King of Yan sent a large number of troops to surround and suppress them.

"Evacuate to the sea!" the pirates shouted from the ship.

At this time, the pirates also panicked.

One by one, they ran away to the east. As soon as they got on the boat, these officers and soldiers had nothing to do with themselves.

However, they didn't run very far when they saw soldiers surrounding them to the east.

They were surrounded.

"Array up!" The pirate captain swallowed.

Now they can only fight out with the power of matchlock guns.

After his order was issued, more than five hundred pirates immediately formed a horizontal line and continued walking eastward.

But at this moment, they suddenly saw the officers and soldiers facing them suddenly disperse, making way for them.

The pirates thought that these officers and soldiers were afraid of their firearms, and a smile appeared on their faces.

But their smiles quickly froze.

There was a loud "boom, boom, boom" sound.

They turned around and saw countless black dots flying towards them behind them.

Before he could react, the pirates in the back row were splashed with blood mist and fell down.

Of the more than five hundred pirates, only about three hundred were left standing sparsely.

This scene immediately made the pirates look pale with fear.

This is artillery.

Now, they began to regret their recklessness.

The soldiers of King Yan were obviously not that easy to mess with.

"Boom boom boom..."

When the pirates were frightened, several more artillery pieces opened fire on them.

A pirate was hit and his whole body flew up and landed.

"Run away." The pirate's will soon collapsed.

The remaining pirates fled towards the coast.

But at this moment, the retreating palace soldiers gathered together again.

The soldiers in the front row held pulley crossbows and fired arrows at the pirates.

"Whoosh." A sound broke through the air, and more than thirty pirates fell down.

"Kill!" After three rounds of crossbow firing, the palace soldiers raised their swords and rushed over.

Nowadays, the pirates are in chaos and their formations are disorderly. Some pirates light matches in a hurry and load ammunition for their matchlock guns.

But as soon as they raised their guns, they were cut down to the ground by the royal soldiers who rushed over.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all these pirates were captured.

"General, we caught five alive." A general reported back to Bai Shang.

Bai Shang nodded, "Escort them to Huiyan County."

At this time, another cavalryman came over and said: "General, there is a big ship on the sea and several small boats on the shore. They should belong to these pirates."

Bai Shang frowned. The soldiers in the royal palace were all landlubbers and could not operate a ship.

Song Cang seemed to understand Bai Shang's thoughts. He said: "General, there are many fishermen in Jinghai County. We should find a few people to get the boat back."
