Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1130 The Crackling Gunshot

The pirates didn't want to wait a moment longer. Faced with such a huge caravan, their eyes turned red with greed. With countless riches laid out before them, how could the pirates, who were accustomed to robbery, resist taking action?

In the darkness before dawn, countless dark figures appeared outside the city, gradually approaching the low city walls as they swayed.

The guards responsible for defense had already begun shooting arrows down from the city walls, while shouting warnings.

Miao Yong and Chen Dongping had just huddled in a corner, trying to close their eyes, when they heard the siren and immediately jumped up.

All the guards were roused and charged toward the city walls with their weapons.

The city walls of Tanggu County were not only low, but also dilapidated. The moat outside the city had long been filled with garbage and dust, turning it into a shallow ditch, which could not stop the pirates at all.

In an instant, dark figures appeared from all sides of the city, vaguely rushing towards the city walls.

Lin Feng sighed and turned to run towards the Duan family's residence.

The city walls were definitely no match for the pirates; the only option was to engage them in street fighting within the city.

Street fighting is the pirates' forte, so this battle will not be ideal, and the losses will be extremely heavy.

When Lin Feng ran back to the area where the Duan family lived, the sound of weapons clashing could already be heard from the city wall, and the guards and the pirates began to fight.

Duan Jingqiu had gathered the injured, including Mu Tou Lian and Song Chen, into a house. Outside, guards from the Duan family were using carriages for cover and defense.

Archers climbed onto the roof, spearmen were in front of them, and guards with steel knives were at the very back.

Lin Feng nodded upon seeing this; this head of the Duan family's guards did know some combat techniques.

As soon as dawn broke, the pirates appeared in the streets and alleys outside the mansion.

Clearly, they have breached the city walls and infiltrated the city.

The entire city was thrown into chaos. There were screams, cries, and women shouting curses.

Lin Feng was helpless in the face of this chaos. He stood behind the carriage in front of the house, holding a handful of copper coins in his hand, not knowing which carriage had loaded them with a lot.

They lay low, awaiting the arrival of the pirates.

The archers on the roof began to fire down. The first pirate to appear on the wall was dressed in short brown clothes, holding a straight knife. He was short and agile, truly like a monkey darting around.

Several arrows whizzed past him, but none of them managed to hit his body.

He swiftly scaled the wall, brandishing his knife as he charged toward the carriage.

The spearmen behind the carriage immediately raised their spears and thrust them fiercely at the pirates.

To everyone's surprise, he nimbly dodged the attack, and with a sway of his body, he leaped onto the carriage, raised his straight sword high above his head, and forcefully slashed at the spearman.

With the spearhead sticking out and no time to retract it, the guard let go and retreated, realizing he couldn't dodge the pirate's straight blade.

The next moment, the pirate who jumped off the carriage suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The guard, having just thrown away his spear, stared blankly at the dead pirate, panting heavily. He was still shaken from his brush with death.

Lin Feng frowned. These pirates were so powerful that the Duan family guards couldn't even last a single round.

How can we fight the battles that follow?

Before Lin Feng could think it through, more pirates appeared on the wall. With a swaying motion, they jumped over the wall and rushed into the house.

Without further hesitation, Lin Feng flicked the copper coin in his hand, which silently slashed into the throat of the pirate.

Because the copper coin was moving too fast, the pirate still managed to rush forward a few steps before collapsing to the ground in a slump.

The next moment, several more pirates scaled the wall and rushed into the house.

Before they could get close, they all stumbled and fell, some even crashing into the carriage, and none of them could get up.

This made all the guards on the defense widen their eyes, trying their best to see clearly how the pirates died.

But no one could figure it out, and for a moment they looked around, feeling lost.

As more and more pirates appeared, Lin Feng scattered copper coins, grabbed a steel knife, and stepped back.

The guards hiding behind the carriage bravely jumped up and began to engage the pirates in close combat, their fighting clanging and clashing.

With a swing of Lin Feng's sword, a pirate was cut down.

He would occasionally flick out copper coins to knock down pirates who tried to break through the windows and enter the house.

Pirates who broke in through the back window were also killed by the guards inside the house.

There were too many pirates, and the entire city was engulfed in fierce fighting.

Lin Feng moved his position from time to time, cutting down the pirates who charged in front, defending both sides of the house by himself.

After a rapid attack, the number of pirates gradually decreased until they disappeared.

Knowing they couldn't succeed here, they turned to attack other places.

Many of the guards were killed or injured, and those who survived breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng took the opportunity to drink some water, then looked around, pondering his next move.

"You've worked hard, sir."

Lin Feng was taken aback, only then realizing that it was Duan Jingqiu who had handed him the water bottle.

"The individual skills of these pirates have improved significantly. Unlike the previous pirates, they are probably newly recruited regular troops."

Lin Feng said with concern.

Duan Jingqiu smiled and said, "As long as you are here, they will not be able to succeed, and Third Sister will feel more at ease."

"Don't drug me. Go back to your room and stay put."

Lin Feng was troubled, as he didn't know how to defend against the pirates.

Duan Jingqiu pouted and swayed as she stepped into the room.

Lin Feng looked at the guards in the courtyard with a troubled expression. This way of holding out was not a solution. Once the pirates took over all the courtyards, they would concentrate their forces to attack this place.

No matter how capable I am, I won't be able to protect these people.

Just as he was wondering what to do, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, followed by several more bangs.

Lin Feng was stunned; he recognized the voice all too well.

The shotguns unique to the Zhenxi Army.

who is it?

The sound seemed quite far away, probably from the other side of the city.

This crisp gunshot was unique to the Zhenxi Army. Lin Feng's military orders strictly controlled the guns, ensuring they wouldn't fall into enemy hands unless the soldier was dead.

Even if the guns are lost, there are technological barriers that prevent you from completely imitating them.

This must be one of our own.

Lin Feng became excited. It turned out that the Zhenxi Army had infiltrated the convoy without his knowledge.

After turning back and giving a few instructions, he resolutely rushed out of the courtyard gate and ran quickly in the direction of the gunshot.

There were people fighting in the street, but there were even more pirates running around, carrying straight knives and yelling.

Any pirates who blocked Lin Feng's path were cut down with a single stroke of his sword, and he continued on his way without even glancing at them.

Pei Qiyin and the other two hid in the dilapidated house, originally planning to wait until dark before leaving the city and heading to Luoxi Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, a large number of carriages, along with countless laborers and soldiers, suddenly flooded into the city.

Neither side dared to show themselves, as both the Taisho Imperial Guard and the pirates were enemies.

There was no other way but to continue hiding it.

Fortunately, the house in this corner was dilapidated and had not been noticed by anyone, so it remained quiet for the time being.

Pei Qiyin chose this place for this purpose; no one cared about the broken walls and ruins, and everyone went to look for slightly more intact houses.

Just when things finally calmed down outside, the pirates attacked again.
