My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 361 Ambush
"Hurry up, you're taking so long even climbing a wall. Are you using all your strength on this old woman's belly?"

While urging the pirates, Chen Tianli looked vigilantly in the direction of the watchtower inside the wall, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.

But what puzzled him was why there were no patrols near the wall and no lanterns were lit. Could it be that the Ming army was so careless?

I didn't expect the Ming army's discipline to be so lax. I guess it was just a ragtag army that was not well-received in the Ming Dynasty and was sent to the remote overseas place of Ryukyu.

After a while, the pirates finally climbed over the wall, entered the Ming army camp, and moved forward in the dark.

However, what they didn't know was that their every move was being clearly seen by the Ming army using night vision goggles.

While observing with night vision goggles, Zhao Qian said to the person next to him: "Zhou Xiaoqi, take five people to find some torches and kerosene. When the battle starts, you lead people to spread kerosene and torches near the pirates so that they will have nowhere to hide!"

"Yes, Master Baihu!"

After receiving the order, Zhou Xiaoqi quickly took the five people away.

Liang Daoren and Chen Tianli walked among the pirates, but the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Commander-in-chief, I just feel something is wrong!"

"Why do you say that, military advisor?" Chen Tianli asked in surprise.

"Why haven't we seen any patrol officers in such a long time since we came in? Could it be that they are not in the main camp?"

"Military advisor, don't worry too much. Even if he is not in the camp, let's burn down the Ming army's base camp and let the Ming Dynasty see who has the final say on Ryukyu Island!"

Chen Tianli smiled contemptuously, but at this moment, suddenly, he heard a series of crisp sounds like firecrackers, followed by the continuous sounds of "whoosh" and "whoosh" breaking through the air!
"what happened?"

Chen Tianli was stunned. Before he understood what was happening, he heard more "crackling" sounds. Then, he saw several flames flying in the air. When the flames landed on the ground, the pirates saw that they were torches!
"It's the Ming army. The Ming army ambushed us!"

At this time, Chen Tianming finally reacted. The Ming Dynasty had actually set an ambush in the base camp!
Damn it, how could these Ming troops be so cunning that they actually set up an ambush in the camp? Is this something a normal person could do?

As the torches fell to the ground, several jars came flying over. With several "bangs", the jars hit the ground, and the kerosene inside spread to the torches, instantly igniting a raging fire!

In an instant, the area surrounding the pirates was illuminated by the fire, and their figures were nowhere to be seen in the flames.

Immediately afterwards, crisp gunshots were heard from all directions. Through the strong flames, Chen Tianli only saw the pirates around him falling down continuously!

Damn it, it’s the Ming army’s firearms!

Chen Tianli once again recalled the fear of being chased by a needle-gun. The sound of the gun was truly like the god of death calling for his death!
However, the gunshot this time was different from that of the needle gun. The sound seemed crisper, and the density of shooting was far greater than that of the needle gun!
What weapons did the Ming army use?
Moreover, how did the Ming army discover them? It was obvious that the Ming army did not arrange any patrols at all!

Before Chen Tianli could react, the pirates under his command were already in chaos, running away in panic. Gunfire came from all directions. In the fire, they could not see where the Ming army was, but the Ming army could see their movements clearly.

Liang Daoren was also completely stunned. The only thing he knew was that the Ming army was beating them severely.

It was obvious that he had planned everything out without missing anything. It was obvious that they had launched a surprise attack, and now he should attack the sleeping Ming army. But now it seemed that his side was ambushed from all sides!
It was as if the Ming army had known they were coming and had made all the necessary preparations!
How is this possible? How did the Ming army do it?
As the gunshots continued, more and more bullets were fired at the pirates. The pirates were frightened and panicked, and completely lost their previous arrogance.

Many pirates were defeated and lay on the ground pretending to be dead, while more pirates ran around like headless flies.

"Military Advisor, look at your great idea of ​​attacking the Ming army at night. What a bullshit! We are all trapped here!"

Chen Tianli was so anxious that he cursed loudly, and he didn't care about his face anymore. "What should we do now? If this continues, all our brothers will die here!"

Liang Daoren had no idea what to do. Now they had no way to escape. No matter what, they could not avoid the Ming army's hail of bullets.

"Captain, let's run away. If we can escape as soon as possible, there might still be a glimmer of hope!"

In extreme fear, Liang Daoren finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

"Nonsense, I know I need to escape, but where to escape to?"

As bullets came one after another, Chen Tianli could not help but shrink his neck and try to make his body shorter so that the probability of being hit by bullets would be lower.

This was also the experience gained from being pursued by the Ming army.

"Let's all rush out of the camp!"

In a hurry, Liang Daoren didn't care about so much and suggested that Chen Tianli run away quickly.

Chen Tianli was about to open his mouth to shout loudly, but he only heard a "whoosh" sound, and then Liang Daoren saw Chen Tianli's face change, and then he covered his stomach, and blood seeped out from the gaps between his fingers.

Chen Tianli only felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as if his abdomen was being cut by a knife. In the light of the fire, Liang Daoren saw that there was a bowl-sized hole on his back. It was black and blood was oozing out.

Liang Daoren was suddenly frightened to the point of paralysis, while Chen Tianli was horrified, covering his stomach with one hand and pointing at Liang Daoren with the other.

"Military, military advisor, save, save me!"

"Damn it!" In a panic, Liang Daoren no longer cared about Chen Tianli. He pushed him away and shouted loudly.

"Everyone run outside!"

With Liang Daoren's loud shout, the pirates suddenly woke up from their dream and fled frantically towards the direction of the gate!
Watching the pirates fleeing frantically, Zhao Qian took out his radio and said, "Zheng Xiaoqi, the pirates are heading towards the gate, you must hold on to it!"

"As you command, my lord!"

Putting down the radio, Zhao Qian shouted, "Brothers, chase them, don't let any pirate go!"

As soon as the words fell, the Ming army soldiers rushed forward with guns in hand, and the Ming army soldiers who were ambushing on the west side also rushed out with guns in hand at the same time.

After a frantic escape, the pirates finally arrived at the gate. These few short breaths seemed to them as long as a lifetime.

Seeing the gate getting closer and closer, just when the pirates were about to breathe a sigh of relief, unexpectedly, what they didn't expect was that bursts of gunfire, like the god of hell urging their lives, rang out from the direction of the gate again!

"Damn it! Bastards! Beasts, why are the Ming troops everywhere?"

Seeing many pirates being killed by bullets, Liang Daoren shouted angrily: "Charge, charge! As long as you charge, you can survive!"

However, no matter how frantically the pirates rushed forward, they could not get close to the gate. Seeing more and more people falling to the ground, Liang Daoren was almost in despair!
