Seeing the city defense shaking, but he was just trying to break the attack, Zeng Yiben's forehead was so anxious that the blue veins stumbled, and he wanted to rush up and fight!

At this moment, the guard reported that the Big Gold Teeth was back.

"Let him come here." Zeng Yiben said without looking back at the battle situation.

"The head of the family." The pale gold teeth were quickly brought to him.

"What do you say?" Zeng Yiben asked.

"He, he said..." Da Jinya swallowed and said, "He said it was very ugly."

"What?" Zeng Yiben came back and looked at Da Jinya coldly and said, "Tell me clearly!"

"Lin Daogan said that now they are an official army, and they cannot refuse to save them. Let the head of the family withdraw their troops quickly to avoid hurting the harmony." Da Jinya said angrily:

"He also said that his fleet is ready. If we don't retreat, we can only meet with each other..."

In fact, Lin Daogan returned the gift, but Da Jinya decided not to mention this.

"..." Zeng Yiben said nothing for a long time when he heard this, but his black face gradually turned red, then turned purple, and finally turned into a piece of white paper.

"So he said that?" After a long time, Yiben said.

The sound seemed to come from the horizon.

"If you dare to make up such a big thing, can you make up a small thing?" Big Jinya smiled bitterly.

"Why?" Zeng Yiben's eyes no longer looked at the battle of the city, but looked at the sky without any focus, and asked Youyou:

"Why did he do this? He doesn't even understand the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth?"

"I heard that he was a lobbyist named Xu Wenchang, and he also went to find him on behalf of the government..." Da Jinya revealed the news he had found.

"Xu Wei..." Zeng Yiben was obviously not as unsavory as his subordinates, and he had already known in the past few days that the reason why the resistance in Chaozhou City was so resolute was because the new Chaozhou magistrate Zhao Shouzheng gathered a bunch of loose Chaozhou soldiers and civilians.

Unexpectedly, the first time he arrived, he was so clear about the situation in Chaozhou, and he was also able to convince the smart Lin Daogan.

I thought the ruthless character Hou Biden had left, and the new magistrate disappeared again, and Chaozhou City would definitely become a fat sheep without resistance. Who would have thought that another ruthless person, Zhao Sima, was even more powerful than Hou Biden!

Could this be the number of energy? When I am really lucky, my life is difficult and my energy is about to end?

Facing the city wall that is always unbreakable, Zeng Yiben suddenly remembered the words he often heard from his father when he was a child:

‘This is all fate…’

It is fate that you were born in a poor fisherman family.

It is a fate that my family was bullied by a large dog family in the village, and my sister was killed by disaster.

When I was sixteen, I killed the family of a wealthy dog ​​family, and since then I have been exiled to the sea.

He fought desperately with the government, but he took advantage of Lin Dao to get the guy. He successfully went ashore to clean up his hair, but he became a loser and still had a life.

Under this Chaozhou city, he once again felt the ruthlessness of fate...

"God, I'm not convinced!" Zeng Yiben's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, and he pulled out his knife and slashed hard towards the head of the city:

"He just said that, no matter how much he is, continue to attack the city. If I capture Chaozhou City, I will not take any money and give it to you all!"

"Ao!" The soldiers were encouraging again and attacked the city.

"Don't be idle either. Lead me to attack the city! If you can't get the city wall today, you don't have to come back!" Zeng Yiben glared at Big Golden Teeth again.

"Oh." Da Jinya secretly called unlucky. If I had known this, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to come back.

He turned around and was about to find his subordinates, but he saw another person jumping off the boat and stumbled over.

"That's Old Ji?" Big Jinya couldn't help but wonder: "He wasn't Nan'ao Island showing us the way back, why are you here to join in the fun?"

"Huh?" Zeng Yiben looked in the sound, and indeed saw Ji San, the third leader who was staying on Nan'ao Island, running towards him in a panic.

"Last brother, why are you here?" Zeng Yiben frowned, his intuition was not good.

"Big, master, big things are wrong!" Ji San said in a hurry: "Nan'ao Island is lost."

"What?" Zeng Yiben couldn't help but swayed. The news brought by Big Gold Ya just now did not hit him so hard.

The reason is that Nanao Island is still in his hands. As long as Nanao Island is there, no fleet dares to enter the Hanjiang River!

But Nan'ao Island was lost, and his extremely heavy fleet of sea ships in the inland river was in danger of being caught in a urn...

"Puff..." Thinking of this terrible consequence, Zeng Yiben was so angry that he actually vomited blood.

"Big boss!" People around him hurriedly supported the shaky boss.

Zeng Yiben only grabbed Ji San's clothes and asked with hatred: "Who did it?"

"I don't know..." Ji San shook his head blankly and said, "They launched a night attack, burning all our warships with a terrible rocket. I only saw that they had a large number of black-tailed ships."

"Blacktail boat?" Big Jinya shouted loudly after hearing this: "That must be Lin Daoqian! They have the most blacktail boats and they also have the ability to attack at night!"

"That little guy is so cruel!" He was so angry that he screamed: "If you want to turn your back, just fuck us to death!"

Zeng Yiben shook his head slowly. He felt that it was not Lin Daoqian who was the one who was born in Han Jiang. Lin Daoqian really wanted to catch them all in one place and offer them to the court for credit?

In that way, he will become a public enemy on the seas of Fujian and Guangdong, and his fleet will not be able to go out to sea to trade again!

But there is no need to refute this time, because no matter who does it, it will seriously threaten their retreat!

"Ming... Jinba..." Zeng Yipeng squeezed these three words out of his throat with difficulty.

"Ming Jin?" Everyone couldn't accept it, "The head of the family, so many brothers have died, how can we just retreat?"

"Yes, the head of the family." Da Jinya also advised anxiously: "It doesn't matter if Nan'ao Island is occupied. We will naturally increase our strength after taking over Chaozhou City. Then we work together to kill the Lin person. Isn't it just that Long returns to the sea?"

"What the second in commander said makes sense." Everyone nodded and agreed.

"There's a big deal!" Zeng Yiben said weakly: "Every family has left people on Nan'ao Island, and this news cannot be hidden. Do you still have a fight when they hear this news?"

"..." Everyone was speechless. Indeed, everyone came to speculate. The lives of their subordinates were not worth the money, and it didn't matter if they lost more. But they couldn't even lose their own lives.

~~

When the bandits left their bodies all over the ground and retreated, the defenders on the city wall almost collapsed on the ground at the same time.

This battle was too hard, too difficult and too dangerous. Their spirit had been severely overdrawn. I really don’t know if they can have the courage and strength to stand up next time they attacked.

Pan Jixun also sat on the pile of arrows, but then he stood up like an electric shock, and gasped in pain. He was so nervous that he didn't feel it when he was fighting. Only then did he realize that his tailbone seemed to have broken, and it hurts as soon as he sat down!

"Ministry, should you call your brothers up and repair the city wall?" The deputy was Zhang Guofu, a student of Yufeng Academy. He is a military guard from Nanjing Jinwu, but he grew up in Kunshan County. After winning the imperial examination last year, Zhang Guofu felt that he was lacking in time and still needed hard work, so he did not go to Beijing to take the exam, but followed his master to Lingnan to prepare to assist Mrs. Pan to form a new academy.

Because his family has been in the army for generations, Zhang Guofu has been influenced by the knowledge and is well-versed in military tactics, he was sent to Lao Pan for the battle to defend the city.

"Let them take a break for a while." Pan Jixun shook his head and said slowly: "Retreat at this critical moment, and the pirates are completely depressed, so they should not attack again."

After a pause, Pan Butang said again: "Besides, they are not professional, let the civil engineering team come to repair it later."

"Yes." Zhang Guofu nodded. At this time, he also saw the pirates retreating to the riverside and did not stop. He directly took small boats to return to the big ship in batches. Obviously, at least today, there would be no more offensive.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city were just as relieved as him, but they were still worried that the pirates would make a comeback tomorrow morning.

Just like this, half worried and half hoped for a night of suffering, the soldiers who were resting in the Tibetan camp suddenly heard the sound of overjoyed cheers coming from the city.

In a daze, everyone heard it as if they had "retreat", "retreat the troops" and so on!

Those who were sleeping lightly immediately got up, rushed out of the Tibetan camp, and ran up to the city to watch.

Then I saw that the sky was just dawn and I could only barely see the river. But this was enough for them to see that the Han River in the dusk of the morning was already empty. I no longer saw the scene of masts and oars like forests and masts connected to the sky...

Zeng Yiben's army retreated without a trace overnight!

"We won!" Someone gave the first victory cheer, and then everyone on the city wall cheered together.

When the soldiers in the Tibetan soldiers heard the movement, they were all sleepy and rushed out of the Tibetan soldiers and joined the ranks of celebration.

Then the people in the city also heard the movement and walked out of their homes to check the situation. When they learned that the bandits had retreated, the entire Chaozhou City also turned into a sea of ​​joy.

After celebrating for a while, everyone suddenly realized that the well-deserved protagonist, Mr. Zhao Er, was not there.

So they searched around and finally found him in the missing corner of the city gate tower.

I saw that their beloved Sima Zhao was still lying on the bed and snoring like thunder. The cheers outside were shaking, and he did not wake him up...

The quality of sleep is really enviable.

"Mr. Sima is too tired." The military and civilians who had already added thick idol filters unconsciously felt distressed.

So they tiptoed out of the city gate tower without disturbing Zhao Sima's rest.

According to "Old Ming History? Biography 113":

‘………In the fifth year of Longqing, Shouzheng moved to Chaozhou Tongzhi. At the beginning, a giant bandit once gathered hundreds of warships and 100,000 pirates. Zhang Zhi rode the tide into the Hanjiang River and led Bocheng. The prefect was killed. The magistrate was cowardly and frightened, and the men and women in the city ran away.’

‘At this time, Shuzheng rode alone like a tide, jumped onto the bridge of Guangji, shouting, ‘Good man, I will kill the thieves and protect the family!’ At that time, thousands of followers were in peace, and the people were at ease. At that time, the soldiers in the city were not over, and there was nowhere to be found. Shuzheng was responsible for the affairs of the government, and the stewards were responsible for the matter, and the stewards were responsible for the matter, and the stewards were ordered to leave the house and take the stewards. After that, a man was sent to the city to eat. After that, he persuaded the huge house to lose. Liu Zixing, the former governor, donated two thousand golds, and the donors gathered.

‘He ordered the building of gunpowder and firearms to build a storage building, and ordered the city to be divided into the city and guarded it. He commanded it, led by the army, fought fiercely for several days, and killed more than 10,000 enemies. Yiben said: Sima is here, Chaozhou is like Jintang, so he sailed away.’
