My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 362 The mob
"Military Advisor, what should we do now?"

"If we don't think of a solution, we're all doomed!"

The pirates were so anxious that their eyes turned red. They were blocked at the entrance of the camp, unable to go out or retreat.

The Ming army soldiers piled all kinds of debris at the entrance of the camp, blocking the gate, and then used the debris as cover to continuously shoot at the pirates.

At the same time, they lit up all the lanterns and torches near the gate, so that the pirates were in bright light, with nowhere to hide, and became sitting ducks for the soldiers.

Aim, pull the trigger, the gun goes off, the pirate falls to the ground, and then repeat the same action. This is even easier than training in the Beijing Camp Martial Arts Training Ground. At least when training in the Martial Arts Training Ground, one has to keep running and practicing tactical formations and various infiltrations and encirclements.

Although this group of pirates seemed numerous, in the eyes of the Ming army, they were just a mob. They were okay at fighting advantageous battles and bullying civilians, but if they really went to the battlefield, without rigorous training and without unified orders and actions from top to bottom, they would be a group of things waiting to die.

This is much easier than in the desert and Annan. At least the Yuan court soldiers have war horses, cavalry, and artillery. The Annan army, which is of a lower level, also has bows and arrows. This group of pirates can't even get together standard swords, let alone fight.

You know, a bow that can be used on the battlefield has to go through many processes and be carefully made. The high-quality beef tendon used to make the string alone is not easy to obtain, let alone for pirates who make a living on the sea.

The only thing the Ming army soldiers had to pay attention to was not to fight too hard and use up all their bullets in one breath.

At this moment, in the crowded crowd, someone shouted "Retreat quickly", and the pirates retreated in a hurry. As a result, many people had no time to react and were pushed to the ground by the people behind them. Then, they were stepped on by countless people, and their intestines were stepped out.

Many pirates even ran towards the wall in panic, trying to climb up. However, many of them were so flustered that they missed a step and fell down, and were then stepped on by more people behind them.

The pirates never thought that even though they were so used to running rampant on the sea, there would come a day when they would be chased and beaten.

For a moment, the scene was in chaos, and Liang Daoren was so anxious that his heart was about to jump out!
These bastards, there are obviously only a few people guarding the gate, if they just rush over in one go, they can escape.

However, when this group of guys saw the Ming army blocking the gate and heard the gunshots, they peed their pants as if they had seen the King of Hell. They only cared about escaping and did not think at all that they could survive if they rushed out, and that staying in the Ming army camp would only mean death.

No matter how he shouted or tried to reorganize these guys and charge forward, it was of no use. No one listened to him.

What a bunch of rabble, they are like mud that can't be helped!

Do you want to attack the Ming army with this group of guys? Do you want to attack from both north and south? Only then did Liang Daoren realize that he was too naive!
Did your head get caught in the door to come up with this idea? It's ridiculous that you once claimed to be the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, but now Liang Daoren just wants to slap himself a few times!

Given the current situation, defeat is a foregone conclusion. No, no, it can’t even be called a defeat. It is a complete collapse at the first blow, with no ability to resist at all.

It’s a pity that everything is too late, there’s no point in thinking about it!
There were thousands of people, but in less than quarter of an hour, only a few hundred were left. The ground was littered with corpses. Some were not beaten to death, but were squeezed to the ground and trampled to death.

Red, white, yellow, and all kinds of things that couldn't be distinguished in color were mixed together, and intestines were all over the ground, as if it was the hell of skinning and gutting!
This is not a war, it's clearly asking to be slaughtered.

Just as Liang Daoren was daydreaming, Zhao Qian and the Ming army soldiers caught up with murderous intent.

Zhao Qian strode forward and shouted, "I am Zhao Qian, the captain of the Fifth Rifle Battalion of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Ryukyu. How dare you, a mere pirate, attack the Ming army camp at night? All of you kneel down and hold your heads in your hands. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

At this time, the pirates had no intention of resisting. When they heard what Zhao Qian said, they all knelt down. Only Liang Daoren stood up and said angrily:

"You idiots, do you think that if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, we will let you go? Get up and fight them. Only by rushing out in one go can you survive!"

Liang Daoren cursed loudly at the pirates who were kneeling on the ground one after another. Zhao Qian looked at him coldly and was about to order his men to take him down, but he saw several pirates rushing over and pressing Liang Daoren down under them.

"Shut up, you want to die but we don't!" "Asshole, idiot, let me go, let me go, you will not die well, the Marshal will never let you go, wuwuwu..."

Liang Daoren was still struggling desperately, but someone covered his mouth with a hand and then hit him hard on the back of his head with the handle of a knife. He rolled his eyes and fainted immediately.

"Commander?"

Before Liang Daoren fell into coma, Zhao Qian keenly caught these two words. Could it be that there is an army behind this group of guys?

It seems that we need to interrogate this guy thoroughly.

The pirates put down their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, held their heads with their hands, and dared not move.

Zhao Qian ordered his men to tie up all the pirates, and ordered General Liu to take thirty people to search the camp to prevent any pirates from escaping the net.

After all, the camp is several acres in size, and it's pitch dark at night, so there's no guarantee that a pirate cat is hiding in some secret place.

As for how to deal with the surrendered pirates, we will make a decision after the captain returns.

Just as the Ming army soldiers were counting the number of prisoners, a group of people came from outside the camp, looking cautiously at the door, as if they were afraid to come in.

Zhao Qian and a few others went forward to take a look, and discovered that the outside of the camp was already full of people. Leading the way were the judicial officers and government guards of Beigu City. Behind them were the common people of Beigu City, who were looking at the Ming army camp with fear and curiosity, but did not dare to come forward.

Zhao Qian had seen this judicial officer before, but they had not communicated much. Moreover, he was really confused about the official structure of Ryukyu. He was also puzzled by the fact that such a city had three highest officials, the so-called three officials.

The ranks of the three officials are of the same level, so who should we listen to?

But after staying for a long time, I gradually understood that this judicial officer was equivalent to a county lieutenant, in charge of public security and criminal law. At this time, he and a group of people came here, probably because they heard gunshots and came to see what happened.

"this……"

Zhao Qian paused. The name of this judge was too difficult to pronounce. He couldn't even remember what he was called. He could only laugh and say:
"Mr. Judge, I wonder why you came here with so many people from Beigu City so late at night?"

No matter what someone’s name is, it’s always right to call him “sir.”

"I've met Mr. Baihu."

The judge was very polite, although in terms of rank, his rank was higher than that of Zhao Qian, a centurion.

"We had fallen asleep late at night, but were awakened by a thunderous sound. We didn't know what had happened, so in order to prevent the people from panicking, we dared to come and see. I beg the centurion to forgive us."

"Please be patient, Lord Judge. It's nothing serious. It's just a group of reckless pirates attacking our camp."

Zhao Qian said it lightly, but to the judge and the people of Beigu City, it was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned.

The judge widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Qian with horror.

"Sea, pirates?"
