Chapter 144 Fighting Pirates
Lin Chong looked at Lu Yu and others with a firm look. Although the pirates were still cruising on the sea near Yizhou, the intention of attack was already very obvious because their ships were getting closer to Yizhou Village.
If you follow Lu Yu's proposal, you can completely protect the people of Yizhou Village and prevent them from being threatened. However, Lin Chong is not a person willing to retreat, especially when the enemy is in front of him, he cannot give up defending Yizhou Village. Now Yizhou Village is already a **** village. If you are swept away by pirates like this, you will definitely become nothing.
"But General Lin, retreating is not because we are afraid of death. The lord said that our duty is to protect the safety of Yizhou Village, and the most important thing is to protect the safety of the people of Yizhou. If the village is gone, I believe that with the strength of our Baidi City, it is still easy to build another Yizhou village. But if the people are hurt and people are gone, then what's the use of this village!" Although there is absolutely obedience in the army, Lu Yu is still trying to convince Lin Chong.
In fact, Lin Chong is not a stubborn person. He doesn't want to retreat but doesn't want to give Yizhou Village to that group of pirates like this. As an army, if he retreats as soon as he meets a strong enemy, then he still has the courage and military spirit. But Lu Yu is right. With just one thousand people, it is difficult to prevent Yizhou Village from being protected.
After all, there are no city walls, no walls, and nothing is available. It is a village that can be entered from all directions.
If the pirates enter the village, not only will their property be lost, will the pirates let go of the people in the village? Then they will lose both personal wealth.
Lin Chong did not immediately refute Lu Yu's words, nor did he forcefully ask Lu Yu to execute the order. Lu Yu is a subordinate he valued very much, and he also thinks that this person has a great future for development. What's more, what he said makes sense. As a main general, he is very clear about the current situation facing Yizhou Village.
He also knew the power comparison between his side and the pirates. Although he had just said that he had asked for help from Baidi City, he had not received a response yet, and he didn't know if the reinforcements had arrived?
After pondering for a while, Lin Chong was about to speak, but he saw the messenger from Yizhou running in quickly. While running, he shouted: "Report, General Lin, Lord and General Huang have set out from Baidi City. He asked us to put the lives of the people first!"
Lin Chong had a decision in his heart, and when he heard Yang Yang's instructions, he immediately ordered: "Lu Yu obeys the order, you immediately bring a hundred troops to transfer our Yizhou people to a safe area. The other soldiers obey the orders and order them to prepare for battle. We must live and die with Yizhou Village and prevent pirates from destroying our homeland!"
"General Lin, I object. I want to work with everyone to resist the pirates and defend Yizhou Village!" However, just after Lin Chong gave the order, Lu Yu stood up.
"What? Are you dissatisfied with the order I gave?" Lin Chong looked at him coldly.
How could Lu Yu be dissatisfied with such an order? Although Lin Chong looked cold and angry now, Lu Yu knew that this battle would definitely be a life-and-death battle. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Lin Chong handed him the easiest task, which was to give him a way out. How could he not see Lin Chong’s intention!
Lu Yu quickly defended: "No, no..."
"If it is not, then follow the order. Have you forgotten the military orders of our Baidi City?" Lin Chong said in a serious tone. "Don't think your task is easy. If the people in our Yizhou Village are hurt at all, then you will be insured."
"Yes, Lu Yu obeys the order and ensures that the task is completed. I will also use my life to protect the safety of the villagers in Yizhou."
Lin Chong nodded and said to his subordinates: "Start execute the order!"
Therefore, under the arrangement of the guards of Yizhou Village, the villagers of Yizhou Village moved towards the back of the village under the protection of one hundred soldiers. Lin Chong and nine hundred other fifth-level soldiers stayed in Yizhou Village and vowed to survive and die with Yizhou Village.
Some people may think they are stupid, and they are still stupid in doing such obvious life-wasting behavior. In fact, as soldiers in Baidi City, their mission is to defend every inch of territory belonging to Baidi City. Even if these pirates are just here to fight Qiufeng or something, they still can't stand it.
This is their mission. As soldiers of Baidi City, they have no reason to retreat, even if the number is smaller than that of the enemy.
The sun slowly sets westward, shining the entire sea surface red. All the villagers in Yizhou Village have been removed, leaving only the empty village and the soldiers guarding Lin Chong and other people.
On the sea not far from Yizhou Village, ten pirate ships were really quickly approaching. Under the leadership of two intermediate warships, the pirate ship was not scruples and was not afraid of the inquiries of Yizhou soldiers, as if they were showing off their power.
In the red sunset, the skeleton flag on the pirate ship looks particularly dazzling.
Soon, before the warship landed, the pirates kept jumping into the water from the ship and swam towards the shore. Moreover, the number of people increased, and soon, the pirates gathered on the shore. They looked like they were ready to move. As long as the boss ordered, they would rush in and grab it.
Lin Chong led nine hundred soldiers, standing in front of all the soldiers, looking coldly at the pirates gathering. Compared with the soldiers in Baidi City, these pirates are miscellaneous troops. They have no unified equipment, no unified weapons, and no unified momentum.
But Lin Chong would not underestimate them, because the pirates were like hungry wolves, and now Yizhou is their prey.
Not knowing what a pirate on the intermediate warship said, Lin Chong only saw them cheering loudly. Then he rushed towards Yizhou Village, with an excited light flashing in his eyes.
"Will you guys from Baidi City someone want to loot our village?"
"I don't want it! I don't want it! I don't want it!"
"Okay, very good." Lin Chong's eyes burst out with a strong fighting spirit and shouted, "Then rush up with me and chop all the miscellaneous pieces and feed them to the fish!"
After saying that, Lin Chong rushed out first, and he met him without waiting for the pirates to come.
"Run! Rush..."
None of the nine hundred soldiers behind him retreated, and their eyes rushed towards the pirates with firm eyes. For them, they really made a profit by killing one and killing two. If they could kill more, they could defend Yizhou Village. For this goal, they would fight harder.
