Ink-like dark clouds swept over Dazhu Island, and after a burst of lightning and thunder, soybean-like raindrops fell from the sky.

The houses in the village were about to be destroyed in the fire, but a heavy rain quietly came, and the villagers were ecstatic and carried buckets of water to extinguish the fire.

Many of them wept, feeling that God had not abandoned them, and that the hope of living had been rekindled.

It's just that the house has been saved, but the crisis is far from over. Five hundred sergeants have landed on the island, and the Ming Invincible Armada is still stationed outside the island, and a catastrophe can strike at any time.

Although it was pouring rain, the villagers guarding the city did not dare to take it lightly and vigilantly watched the movements under the city. And in the midst of this torrential rain, I saw General Huo Shen pounce on him with five hundred soldiers like mad dogs.

General Huo Shen is extremely familiar with the terrain in the village, as if he has lived here. Due to the limited amount of stone on the island, there is a section of the wall made of adobe bricks, which is the weakest point of the hundreds of meters of wall.

They, under the cover of archers, carried a log and were about to knock a hole in the wall. Fortunately, Liu Guangtou and the others were extremely brave, and the rolling wood, throwing stones, and arrows constantly resisted, which repelled them.

Just to repel their attack, they also paid a lot of price, and some people were killed by arrows.

"It's unlucky!"

General Huo Shen wiped the rain from his face, angrily walked into the tent, and asked his subordinates to help him remove his armor.

Thinking that burning their houses would cause great panic in the village, he deliberately promised lenient conditions and killed them as soon as they entered the village. It's just that he didn't expect this rain to come so suddenly and ruin his plan.

And he planned to take advantage of the rain to attack directly from the weakest part of the village, but it was empty, and the opponent's defense was still very strong, and his five hundred people could not attack it at all.

It's just that he is very unwilling, his five hundred sergeants should have the ability to take this credit, but he can't do it, which also deviates from his original plan.

The places near the village are all rocky, so Huo Shen will have to camp near the beach. However, it was difficult for them to launch a surprise attack on the village.

I have to say that this Huo Shen General is indeed a talent, and if he can't make a plan, he will have another plan.

On the second day, the soldiers gathered firewood on the island and destroyed some of the small boats on the docks, which they made into firewood and piled them under the walls of the village.

"Remember! Don't accept anyone who surrenders, and if you see anyone coming in from within, shoot me!" ”

General Huo Shen seemed to have the victory in his hands, and emphasized his subordinates, and did not intend to let go of any of them.

To the surprise of the people below, some of them were sent to the west of Otakeshima. They thought it was an attack from east to west, but they reluctantly found that the west was full of jagged piles of rocks.

It's just that the military order is difficult to disobey, and they still obey the arrangement from above and guard there. Once the figure of those "Japanese robbers" is discovered, it will be a matter of killing and obtaining this rare military achievement.

Compared with the careful deployment outside, the village at this time was very panicked. The villagers seemed to be living like a year, especially when they heard that there was constant movement outside the city, and their hearts were even more uneasy.

"What's going on with them?"

When looking at the more and more firewood piled up under the city, and there were some branches with green leaves, many people were confused and didn't understand what these Ming naval forces were going to do.

Ay!

The temporary commander Liu Guangtou came to the city wall, but he sighed heavily, and the expression on his face was very solemn. Looking up into the distance again, he saw that the bamboo forest was swaying slightly, and his mood was even lower.

The village is a place where important people in the village have gathered to discuss countermeasures.

"Water comes to cover the earth, and soldiers come to block, isn't it a fire attack? What are you afraid of him doing? A big bearded man looked indifferent and said to everyone with a big grin.

The old man in blue sitting on the right hand side glanced at him and said leisurely: "People use smoke attacks!" ”

Although the orientation of the village is actually north-east, due to the topography, if you put smoke under the castle, the smoke will still spread in the direction of the city wall. Now that the defenders of the city are undermanned, and they are about to face the thick smoke in the sky, how can they withstand this wave of attacks?

If people's eyes are really smoked, it is not that you are brave and useful, I am afraid that at that time it will only become a human flesh stake, and other people's big knives will cut your neck, but you have not been able to open your eyes.

Thankfully, there is no wind during the day, but if it is evening, it will inevitably increase in strength, and then they will attack through the thick smoke, which is simply their time of death.

"There are too few of us, I'm afraid we can't stop it!" The one-eyed dragon let out a long sigh and uttered an unacceptable truth.

Some people wanted to refute this, but they pondered for a moment and sighed, including the big man who didn't care before.

They were only able to fight with just over forty men, and if they didn't have the great advantage of the terrain, they would have fallen yesterday. Now that people are using smoke attacks, once this advantage does not exist, how can they resist the five hundred?

It is in this way that when the north wind blows in the evening, it is very likely that they will die.

"So what are we going to do now?" A bald man asked solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Liu Guangtou, who was sitting on the first seat.

The one-eyed dragon looked at him hesitantly, and then expressed his opinion: "Liu Guangtou, this should be decided!" This time, the Daming Naval Division dispatched thousands of people, even if the captain came back to the rescue, it would be invincible! ”

"That's right! Let's let everyone flee! This will keep some incense as well! The old man in blue also agreed.

In fact, there is a secret passage in the village that is used for escape, and from this village you can escape directly to the west of the island. There were also fugitive ships that could be used to escape into the sea and hide on nearby islands.

Although it will face the pursuit of the Ming Navy, it will cost you blood. But there will always be some fish that slip through the net, there will always be a chance of survival, and a small number of people will get away with it.

"Then take advantage of the night...... Run! Liu Guangtou slowly closed his eyes and said painfully.

It is conceivable that if you choose to flee from the west. Then they gave up not only this home-like village, but also many compatriots, and in the end, only a very small number of people survived.

It's just that if they don't do this, once the village falls, then the more than 200 people they have here are afraid that they will all become souls under the sword, and this place may also become a purgatory on earth.
