Made stood on a high slope and looked at the large village below. There was smoke rising from the cooking stove. At this moment, it was the time to go home for the first meal after morning work.

At this time, most people, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, were still accustomed to two meals a day. Unlike in northern regions such as Wuyi, who were influenced by Li Ze, they gradually formed the habit of eating three meals a day. Of course, three meals a day were also established when the northern regions became richer day by day, and food could fully support consumption.

You can see many people walking on the path home with livestock, plows, hoes, etc., with dogs running around them. In the village, children can be seen running happily.

Compared with the villages they had robbed before, this place is relatively rich.

At least, every household here still has blue brick houses and very few thatched huts.

This is the jurisdiction of Lufeng County and is another focus of the attacks of the Tang Dynasty Navy Fleet.

Made slowly pulled out the knife on his waist. To be honest, as a member of the right leader, Made had never done such a thing as plundering the people, burning their houses, and depriving them of all their property before. Because in the north, if you do this, just wait to get out of prison!

During this period, Ma De felt that he had probably done the bad things he could do in his whole life!

Although this was the order of the superior and the consideration of the overall situation, Ma De still felt a little uncomfortable. Even if his superiors said that this was a long-term consideration, and it was a last resort to complete the unification of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible and allow these people to live a real life as soon as possible.

For the interests of the vast majority of people, when the interests of the minority need to be sacrificed, there should be no hesitation.

Ma De is a senior member of Yixing Society. If he had to sacrifice himself for the benefit of most people, he would not have hesitated. But now, he would be a little reluctant to sacrifice these ordinary people.

Although they have tried their best to avoid killing and ensure the safety of these looted people as much as possible in such actions, there will be resistance wherever there is oppression. There are always many brave people who stand up to fight them, and naturally, they should not say too much about the consequences of these people.

When I remembered this sentence, Made felt absurd.

It seems that the one who is exerting oppression now is himself.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, the military order was the military order. He raised his arms and pressed his sword downwards. He sternly said: "Strike!"

The loud military horn sounded, and a thousand members of the Tang Dynasty Navy Marine Corps shouted and rushed towards the village ahead.

The first person to discover them was the dogs in the village.

Groups of dogs barked and ran out of the village, grinning to show their ferocity and fulfill their function of guarding the house. But the next moment, after seeing the momentum of those rushing towards them, they screamed, turned around in place, and fled to the village with their tails squatted.

The village in Xinhe became chaotic in an instant.

Ma De stood on a large millstone at the entrance of the village, and watched the fire burning expressionlessly. He saw thick smoke gradually covering the entire village. He saw groups of men, women, young and old, driven by soldiers, gathering towards the village head in horror.

He saw a strong man rushing out of a room with a sheep fork in his hand. Then, with the sound of a crossbow, the man fell to the ground, twisted for a few times, and then remained motionless. A woman running out of the house fell on the man and cried sadly. Several children were tying the woman's clothes and shouting loudly.

The Tang army soldier who shot this man stood there and was a little confused. It was not until the woman was driven away by other soldiers and gathered in the crowd that he seemed to be alive again.

Made's mouth touched the corners of his mouth a few times, but forced himself to calm down again.

That's a few people.

It's a few people.

They will live a better life in the future than they are today.

He kept cheering himself up in his heart.

Don’t the people on Utakawa Island live happily today?

A horse suddenly appeared in the distance, and was walking towards the village quickly. Made frowned slightly. The next moment, the knight turned over and dismounted, talked with several members of the Navy and Marine Corps guarded outside, and then ran towards Made quickly.

"What did you say?" Ma De's face changed drastically: "Lingnan Cavalry."

"Yes." The inner guard who rushed over to report the news was full of panic: "Three days ago, a cavalry of about 3,000 people came to Lufeng County in secret, and then completely blocked the county town. Everyone could only enter, not leave. Although we knew the news, we could not send the news out of the city. It was not until early yesterday morning that we found the opportunity to leave the city. I came by a small path. Now, the enemy cavalry are in three groups, surrounding here, leaving immediately, and leaving here immediately."

Made stopped talking and turned to the trumpet soldiers beside him and said, "Blow the trumpet, gather, retreat, and retreat to the beach as fast as possible."

The Thousand Navy Marines quickly turned around and ran towards the sea.

Behind them were the burning villages, the villagers who were ecstatic after the disaster, and those who cried because their relatives died.

Dropped into the enemy's trap.

Ma De ran wildly, but he was thinking about the distance between the two sides.

According to the information provided by the inner guard, the enemy general Xiang Ling personally led three thousand cavalry, divided into three groups, one of which was facing him, while the other two were going around in a circle, trying to seal their own way of retreat.

The key now is whether you can rush in front of the enemy, arrive at the beach, and then get on the boat and leave.

As long as he gets on the ship, no matter how powerful the enemy's cavalry is, he can only sigh at the sea. If the enemy blocks the retreat, Ma De doesn't think he has any chance.

This is a navy marine, everyone, without heavy armor, and no long-range suppression weapons. The crossbow that each soldier wears is equipped with only five crossbow arrows and three grenades each.

And relying on these things, it is a delusion to resist the impact of three thousand cavalrymen.

These people are veterans who have experienced many battles. At this moment, they also know how dangerous the situation they are facing is. Everyone tried their best to run towards the beach.

Half an hour later, Ma De had seen the beach not far away in front of him, and behind him, the sudden sound of horse hooves was clearly heard. He could clearly see the figure of the cavalry when he looked back.

"Where do you go when you see the rocks?" Made shouted and turned a corner. He believed that the warships on the sea must have discovered the enemy situation at this moment. When he saw himself turning, he would also approach his fleet in another direction.

It is difficult for the enemy's cavalry to take advantage of their speed in such a rocky place. After passing through this rocky bush, there is only a mile of beaches by the sea.

As expected, Made saw that the small boats that were originally anchored by the sea were also quickly heading towards their ideal response ground, and further away, large warships were moving forward.

Made wiped the sweat from his face, and at this moment, he was almost exhausted.

But before he could put his sweat down, he had completely frozen. Two other cavalrymen appeared on both sides. They ignored Made's troops in the rocks, but directly rode their horses to the beach and surrounded them.

Made stopped, bent down, held his knees with both hands, and took a few breaths.

Damn, I'm afraid I can't escape today.

He watched the two cavalry completely blocking his retreat on the beach, and behind him, all the cavalrymen had dismounted and were slowly approaching them.

"Everyone is in an array and prepare for battle!" Ma De yelled.

Xiang Jun, who was riding on the horse, was proud at this moment. Although the next goal of the Northern Tang Navy was Lu Feng, it was Xiang Lao San who completed the final perfect blow.

After many years, I was suppressed by the boss and couldn't even take a breath. Now the boss is in trouble, and it's finally my turn to be proud. The Southern Alliance has never won the victory against the Northern Tang army and lost one battle. Now I can finally wipe out an elite army of Northern Tang. For the Southern Alliance, this is a great thing to boost morale, and it is also an excellent thing to improve my reputation.

Above the sea, Iron Hook Pan Motang looked at the scene on the shore with a pale face.

"General, organize people to rescue immediately!" A general said anxiously, "After a long time, I'm afraid that there will be reinforcements from the Lingnan Army."

"How to rescue?" Pan Motang said muffled: "Did you drag people over with a boat? Have you not seen the opponent's cavalry? As soon as we got ashore, we couldn't even assemble, and we would be charged by the cavalry, and we would die as much as we went! This is the idea that the opponent was fighting, otherwise why wouldn't they attack Made immediately and attacked the support center around, hehe, he was tempting us to rescue!"

"You can't watch those more than a thousand brothers fall here like this, right?" The general hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Otherwise, how can you explain to General Wen in the future?"

Pan Motang shook his head without making any sound.

Now, with the land forces fighting with the Navy, the main force of the right-leading guard of Wenfu, who is still in Goryeo. A small number of them are blocked by the Navy at sea. Once a system of thousands of people is eliminated, it will be difficult to face the right-leading general Wenfu in the future.
