The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"here we go again?"

Wang Kang asked suspiciously, "Are the pirates rampant here?"

"It used to happen, but not as often as it does now."

Liu Zhong said: "Huzhou has a tributary of the Lanjiang River, the only way for pirates to enter, and the Lanjiang River is actually within the territory of Yan State, they can only enter from there."

"You mean?"

Wang Kang frowned slightly.

"I suspect that these pirates are in collusion with the country of Yan, or they recruited them just for revenge, because they have already been defeated, and they dare not send troops directly, fearing that the conflict will be too big, and they will start a war, so they use this method! "

Liu Zhong was very angry, blowing his beard and staring.

"This group of pirates is well-known in the coastal waters. There are a large number of them, and there are many warships that are extremely vicious!"

"There should be a city defense army in Huzhou. The pirates go ashore and deal with them directly."

Wang Kang said: "It's not so embarrassing!"

"Of course there are city defense troops, but when the Yan Kingdom invaded, Zhang Ao, the governor of Xishan Province at the time, Mr. Zhang mobilized the city defense troops from various counties and prefectures to go to the battlefield..."

Liu Zhong said: "Our Huzhou City Defense Army has a total of more than [-] soldiers, and we have transferred [-] soldiers. How many are left now?"

hear this.

Wang Kang fell silent for a moment.

Of course he is aware of this matter, this situation is not an exception in Huzhou, but a common occurrence...

Thoughts flashed.

Wang Kang turned to the commanding soldier and asked, "How many pirates are there?"

"More than a thousand people."

"More than a thousand people?"

Liu Zhong's complexion changed drastically.

Wang Kang was very calm, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are they? How far are they from here?"

"They landed in Yaoyu County, not too far from here..."

"it is good."

Wang Kang said to Liu Zhong: "Master Liu wait here, I will lead people to destroy these pirates!"

"I will go with Lord Wang."

"No need."

"Brother, you lead me the way."

"Then there is Lord Lao Wang."

Liu Zhong also knew that he was too old to move around, so he told the commanding soldiers: "You obey Lord Wang's orders."

"Yes!"

"Master Wang, we must control their warships and don't let them run away."

"I know."

Wang Kang did not procrastinate, and immediately mobilized [-] cavalry and special warfare battalions to follow the commanding soldiers...

According to the soldier, Yaoyu County is a subordinate county under Huzhou City, close to the tributary of the Lanjiang River, where the pirates came to stop.

After knowing the general situation, Wang Kang's soldiers divided into two groups, sending two thousand cavalry to kill the pirates, while he led the special warfare battalion to the warship where the pirates were docked.

Liu Zhong was right, they had to control their warship first, otherwise they would be able to escape very quickly.

That's what makes pirates so difficult...

And at this moment.

Yuyao County is experiencing a robbery and killing!

"kill!"

"Kill me!"

"Ha ha!"

A lot of pirates laughed and rushed into the county seat. The guards in the entire Huzhou city were seriously insufficient. How many people could there be in a county seat?

These pirate bee chrysalis screamed wildly, and the weapons they held were also very messy and there was no uniform standard.

"Go directly to the county government, don't just focus on stealing money, but also grab women!"

The leader was a big man with a bushy beard, and his narrow eyes were full of excitement!

This kind of work is really cool, go directly to the county to rob.

It seems that the news given by the general of Yan State is true. There is no garrison in Huzhou at all. This time, they have arrived many times.

"The pirates are here!"

"Run!"

The county residents shouted in panic and fled in all directions...

Because of the riverside, Yaoyu County is not surrounded by walls like other counties, but open...

This makes it more convenient for pirates, and there is no obstacle at all.

How could the limited defenders resist so many vicious pirates?

A woman cried and shouted: "Don't, please, let my daughter go, my daughter is only ten years old!"

"Mother! Mother!"

The girl was crying at the top of her lungs!

"It's because of her smallness that I took her away. I like small ones."

The pirate grinned grimly and turned a girl into a fight.
