(The previous chapter was 133, and the chapter number is repeated.) This is today's fourth update, 14,000 words are completed, and the addition of 30 monthly passes is completed. I don't know why, I didn't receive a monthly pass today, and the monthly pass list was blown down, and there are only a few tickets left to be back on the list, and the monthly pass is strongly called. Also, recently, the starting point is doing a recharge activity, and the recharge has a certain amount of starting point coins to be returned, and the high V is only 365 yuan. ）

The next day, Li Jing began to set up. However, in order to avoid startling the snakes, for the time being, the matter of the attack of the pirates is only communicated to the head of the team. The ordinary soldiers below did not receive the battle report, and the town general's office temporarily issued a notice, saying that it was going to mobilize all the soldiers, family members, auxiliary soldiers, logistics soldiers, and young and strong men to conduct a soldier-civilian coordination exercise. The construction site of the city was also given a special day off, and several workshops were temporarily suspended.

For this battle, the inside was tight and the outside was loose, and Li Jing and Lin Wei and other officers as town generals were very nervous. Carry out arming deduction and discussion over and over again. But externally, Li Jing and others did not show their words at all. In this battle, Li Jing didn't intend to let those ordinary people know about it at all. Giving them advice will not help anything but increase the panic on the island in vain.

The battle plan for this time has basically been decided, an ambush battle. Li Jing will sit in Xicheng as the commander-in-chief and command the ambush battlefield. And Lin Wei will take three family teams of 210 people to Shikou Wharf to ambush, preparing to directly attack the people left behind on the pirates' ships after they start, snatch the boats, and cut off the pirates' retreat.

Lin Wu will lead the newly formed eleven groups of cavalry, ambushed outside the city, and is responsible for mobile cover. Always ready to storm or pursue pirates, and be responsible for the liaison between the docks and the battlefield of Xicheng.

In order to ensure that this time was foolproof, Li Jing also deliberately transferred Qiu Shengong's team of men and horses, and asked them to prepare a few small boats to go to sea in the dock area, patrol in Tangwan, and keep an eye on the arrival of the pirate fleet at any time. In addition, even Li Jing of the Ninghai did not let go, and transferred the Ninghai to the coast not far from Shikou Wharf, as soon as he started here. The Ninghai will also drive to the pier from behind. Block the pirates' retreat. Attack the pirate ship from the sea.

The main force of this battle was still the battle team and Li Jing's Jiading team, and the logistics 700 spearmen and auxiliary soldiers 400 horizontal swords also had to participate in the ambush of Ximen. Zhang Hong, Du Zhongwu, Cui Zhiyuan, and Sun Deyan were sent by Li Jing to pacify the people. Although they were hiding from these people for the time being, when the time came for war, everything could not be hidden, and they had to bring people to appease the people's families.

Hearing this decision, Zhang Hong had no opinion. Anyway, his own positioning is to be a military advisor, and he doesn't do such things as fighting knives on the battlefield. However, Cui Zhiyuan and Du Zhongwu, the two young staff, were a little disappointed, and the two of them actually yearned for sword fighting on the battlefield more than this kind of behind-the-scenes work. Kill the enemy with your own hands, kill the generals and capture the flag, and fight an officer lord to come out. It's always desirable. Even Sun Deyan is full of expectations and a little eager to try. After hearing Li Jing's arrangement, he was obviously a little depressed.

Operational arrangements have been arranged, considering that the battle will take place in the middle of the night. Li Jing specially asked the logistics team to prepare a batch of dry food immediately, and each soldier gave out two steamed buns, a piece of pork jerky, four hard-boiled eggs, and a pot of boiling water in advance.

Considering that this is a battle of thousands of people, there will definitely be a lot of casualties by then. Li Jing also immediately summoned all the doctors. And he sent people to the streets of heaven to invite all the doctors. It also asked people to go to various pharmacies in advance to purchase a large number of drugs in accordance with the needs of invasive, hemostasis and disinfection.

The newly recruited doctors and the hired doctors were temporarily organized into a medical team. It took more than 100 years to form a stretcher team, and more than 100 women were mobilized to organize a team of nurses. In the city, Li Jing has set aside a military camp as a temporary hospital, and dozens of cauldrons are boiling water, and rolls of white gauze are boiling in it.

The medical conditions in this era are extremely poor, Li Jing knows that after a battle, in fact, there are not many people who die directly on the battlefield, and those who survive on the battlefield often die directly on the battlefield due to injuries and infections. And even if many people survive, they will become disabled because of untimely treatment.

This is an ambush battle at home, and Li Jing has the conditions to reduce this loss. He now has people, doctors, and medicine, so he can't tolerate this non-combat casualty.

Li Jing gathered the doctors and nurses of the temporarily assembled medical team, as well as the stretcher team, to begin an emergency lecture. Explain to them the first-aid techniques on the battlefield, such as wound disinfection, hemostasis, fixation of fractures, etc., although the time is urgent, Li Jing still talked about a lot of simple first-aid knowledge. He knew that his current words might save a life after the war. While talking, he was thinking that after this incident was over, he must add a battlefield first aid subject to all soldier training subjects, and hurry up to make some battlefield first aid kits and equip them.

In the afternoon, Li Jing ordered the gendarmerie to begin to transfer all the men of the four large battalions outside the city into the city. Externally, it was only said that it was for the needs of the drill, but at this time, all the soldiers had already been issued armor, weapons, and dry food and boiling water. Even the auxiliaries and logistics soldiers who have been involved in the repair of the city have all been issued battle robes and uniforms, equipped with spears and horizontal swords. A tense atmosphere was already brewing over the town. Now that the gendarmerie is about to move them into the city again, many sensitive civilians have already vaguely guessed something, but no one makes trouble or noise.

No matter what happened, it seemed to them that there were generals and soldiers in front of them. Everyone was very cooperative, did not say anything, did not ask to take away the belongings in the barracks, but silently lined up according to the request of the gendarmerie, and then lined up into the city. After entering the city, there are still some members of the gendarmerie inside, and they will be transferred out of the young and strong people, or assigned to the logistics team, or to the nurse team, or to the stretcher team.

Compared with those family members, the auxiliary soldiers and logistics soldiers who were newly distributed military uniforms had a completely different feeling. Although they had been recruited as soldiers, they were eliminated from the squad after training. Although they are still not soldiers, they can only be auxiliary soldiers and logistics soldiers, and they usually watch the people of the war team pass by proudly in brand-new red military uniforms every day, which can always make their hearts feel a suffocation.

The same soldiers, the soldiers eat well, there is meat at every meal, each team kills a pig a day, and from time to time there is mutton and wine, and they eat rice. In winter, fresh green vegetables are often eaten. But they are different, until now, they have not even been issued a set of military uniforms, and they are still wearing all kinds of gray and brown, and it is uncomfortable to look at a team of people who go to that station. Although the food is usually dry, it can only eat meat for a few days, and it can't be compared with the soldiers at all. The soldiers trained every day, but now they had to go to the fortification in the morning and afternoon in addition to training in the morning.

Soldiers are not as good as soldiers, and the people are not like people. These people have long been holding back a fire in their hearts. I finally had a chance today, although the head of the team and the deputy head of the team went to the town general's mansion for a meeting and came back, and they refused to tell everyone what happened. But seeing that the brand-new military uniforms were issued, there was no need to go to the construction site, and all the spears were sent down, and everyone knew that there was probably going to be a war.

After waiting for so long, I finally waited for this day. Although auxiliary soldiers and logistics soldiers can also be promoted to combat soldiers, they have to be assessed every six months, which is too long. However, if you can kill the enemy in battle and make meritorious contributions, you can be promoted to the army immediately. This is an opportunity to change their fate in one step, and their fingers holding the spear and horizontal knife are blue with excitement, and their hearts tremble.

It was getting dark, and the town of Shamen was beginning to fall silent.

All the people in the battalion outside the city moved into the city, and the soldiers, dependents, auxiliaries, and logistics soldiers were already armed and on standby, and even the rest of the remaining young men were also called up to stand by.

It was getting dark in the first month, and the sun had just set, and it was already pitch black in the blink of an eye.

It was freezing cold, and the cold wind whistled from time to time. The town of Shamen is like in the past, dogs bark and geese from time to time, and from a distance, the lights in the camp outside the city are lit, and the city is full of light. In Shamen Town, as soon as it gets dark, everyone starts to turn off the lights and go to bed. But today, although the lights are also turned off, no one sleeps.

Everyone was waiting, and by this time, Li Jing had already sent an order to go down, saying that there would be a wave of pirates attacking tonight. However, Li Jing didn't let the five hundred pirates, but just said that a group of pirates were coming, so everyone should not worry.

Lin Wu led more than 100 people to hide at the foot of Phoenix Mountain on horses and mules, and sent a group of 12 horsemen to take turns to go back and forth between the docks and the castle, reporting the latest information to Li Jing at any time.

It was fine until after the second watch of the night.

Near the Shikou wharf, Qiu Shengong led his subordinates to multiply five small fishing boats and floated quietly on the sea near the wharf. There was no light on the ship, and he was wrapped in a leather robe, crouching in the bow like a statue, vigilantly patrolling the sea near the dock.

Just when everyone was stiffened by the sea breeze, a little bright light finally came out in the fog in front of the pier.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Qiu Shengong's expression moved, and he immediately stood up, opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a fleet of ships breaking out of the fog. The lanterns hanging from the ship illuminated the shape of the fleet. He carefully counted the number of ships, one, two, three full eighteen, all of them were brigs of about 300 stones, and the middle three were larger, the same type of Mingzhou-type pointed keel sea ship as the Ninghai, at least 1,500 stones.

The number of ships in the flotilla did not correspond to the intelligence, not thirteen but eighteen, more than five. Is there a mistake in intelligence, or is this fleet not a pirate fleet? Qiu Shengong was puzzled in his heart, but saw that the fleet had begun to slow down and was slowly approaching Shikou Wharf. Qiu Shengong's eyes were very good, and in the darkness, he clearly saw many people pouring out of the decks of those big ships, all of whom were clinging to swords.

His face changed, and he had confirmed that this was the one-eyed Jiao pirate fleet from Liaodong.

"Quick, row back immediately, the pirates are coming!" (To be continued.) )
