Rise of the Poor

Chapter 1864: From surprise to shock

Views:

The fire in the woods was getting bigger and bigger, and fewer and fewer Japanese pirates escaped from the fire. The Zhejiang Army soldiers who were riding horses outside the woods had not seen any Japanese pirates coming out of the woods for a while.

The occasional gunshots gradually quieted down.

The soldiers of the Zhejiang Army gradually became idle.

A team of Zhejiang troops was divided into the direction of the river beach, riding their horses around and monitoring the woods not far away.

"We are unlucky to be assigned to this place. Apart from the one time we opened the business at the beginning, we have not received any business so far. If you listen to other places, they have opened the business at least two or three times. This is all due to their hard work. When the next performance evaluation comes, our rewards will definitely not be as good as others."

A Zhejiang Army soldier in the middle of the team once again withdrew his gaze in disappointment, sighed, and said what a pity.

"Haha, what are you listening to? Didn't you notice that there has been no business in other directions for a while. Now everyone is the same, all naked men." Another Zhejiang Army soldier in the team took over the conversation and said with a laugh.

"They just don't have business right now, they've made a lot of money a long time ago, but we've had no business from the beginning to the end, except for the first time. We're naked, while they have all the wives."

The sighing Zhejiang Army soldier continued to sigh, feeling that their team was unlucky and had been divided in the wrong direction.

Not only was their direction the farthest from the center of the fire, it was also next to the river beach. The Japanese ships in the river had been burned by the fire, and the Japanese pirates who ran out of the woods subconsciously avoided this direction.

"Haha, always think positively. You see, we haven't heard the sound of gunfire for such a long time. Are all the damn Japanese pirates in the woods burned to death? That's why no Japanese pirates escaped?" The Zhejiang Army soldier next to him said with a smile.

"That's about right. With such a big fire, ten piss bubbles would be dried out."

"We have sprinkled so much kerosene and piled so much sulfur. We have piled almost all the hay and firewood nearby into the forest. If we still can't burn these bastards to death, then all our efforts will be in vain."

The Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers who were traveling with them all felt the same way, thinking that most of the Japanese pirates in the woods should have been burned to death.

"Yeah, that's right."

The Zhejiang army soldiers who had just sighed couldn't help laughing. All the Japanese pirates were burned to death, so they won another great victory this time.

This time the Japanese pirates came to attack Suzhou, there were about 30,000 to 40,000 of them, they were very powerful, but what happened? First, tens of thousands of them were killed in front of Fengqiao Camp, then several thousand were killed outside Suzhou City, several thousand of them were burned or drowned in the river, and the rest of the pirates were all burned to death in the woods.

Haha, thirty or forty thousand Japanese pirates were almost wiped out. This is such a great achievement.

It’s exciting to imagine.

Just when they thought that all the Japanese pirates were burned to death, they suddenly heard a "crack" sound of fire in the distance.

"Huh? I didn't expect there was still a fish that slipped through the net. I don't know if that brother got the chance." Someone in the team said with some envy. Their Zhejiang Army had clear rewards and punishments. Every time they killed one more Japanese pirate, they would get one more merit.

"Alas, they can give this and that a discount, but why can't they give us a discount? Why are our lives so miserable?"

The sighing soldier couldn't help sighing again, staring at the forest not far away with his green eyes, as if he wanted to stare flowers out of it.

Suddenly, the skinny monkey with pointy ears in the team put his hand to his mouth and hushed, signaling everyone to keep quiet.

There were ten people in their team. They trained together on the training ground and fought together on the battlefield. They were so familiar with each other that they knew what each other meant just by a glance. When the skinny monkey hushed, the others were startled and raised their muskets to aim at where he was looking.

Sure enough, after a while, everyone saw a pitch-black Japanese crown crawling out of the burnt woods like a maggot.

The Japanese pirate was smoked black like charcoal, the same color as the burnt forest. He crawled out from a shallow ditch extending from the forest. If it weren't for the skinny monkey's pointed ears that discovered him in advance, no one would have been able to find him when he crawled out like a maggot.

A team of Zhejiang Army soldiers were at the rear side of the ditch, which was a blind spot for the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates who crawled out did not notice the Zhejiang Army soldiers at the rear side.

Just as everyone was about to pull the trigger to shoot, the skinny monkey immediately raised his hand and made a gesture to stop them.

Seeing this, everyone immediately stopped pulling the trigger.

Sure enough, the next second, another pitch-black Japanese pirate crawled out from behind the man in the black Japanese hat.

Upon seeing this, a group of Zhejiang Army soldiers looked at each other and grinned silently. The one who sighed laughed the brightest.

Hahaha, God is really fair. He knows that he owes our team, so he is compensating us now, and he compensated two of us at once.

It's true that if you close for one year, you can make enough money for three years after you open.

Just as they were smiling and preparing to pull the trigger, the skinny monkey with pointed ears changed his expression and raised his hand again.

Oh my god, there’s more

Hahahaha, what a good day today is! A group of Zhejiang Army soldiers looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces almost reached their ears.

Sure enough, the next second, another Japanese pirate who was also roasted black appeared behind the two charcoal-blackened Japanese pirates.

Today is a good day...

Seeing another Japanese pirate crawling out, the happy Zhejiang Army soldiers almost started singing with excitement.

This time they learned their lesson and did not rush to pull the trigger. Instead, they looked at the skinny monkey, who had a serious, even nervous, face, as if something bad was about to happen.

Could it be that there will be no more Japanese pirates in the future? !

So what if there are no Japanese pirates? We already have three of them. We are really lucky. Hahaha, you skinny monkey are too greedy.

A group of Zhejiang Army soldiers had the same thought, and they all grinned and smiled, silently comforting the skinny monkey.

Don't be too greedy. Three is already a lot. With these three Japanese pirates, our team will definitely win a big reward in the next performance evaluation.

However, the skinny monkey's expression did not ease at all. Not only that, he became more and more nervous.

What's going on

When did you become so greedy

A team of Zhejiang soldiers smiled speechlessly, then patted the skinny monkey on the shoulder. They all raised their muskets, ready to pull the trigger to send these three black-faced Japanese pirates to hell to meet the King of Hell!

The skinny monkey put his hand to his lips again and made a gesture to stop the man. The expression on his face was no longer something that could be described as nervousness.

besides

The teammates were stunned for a moment, then frowned. What's wrong with the skinny monkey? If there are more Japanese pirates behind us, isn't that a good thing? We can get the heads of Japanese pirates again, and the next performance assessment will have better results. Isn't that a good thing? Why is the skinny monkey like this? ! Did he take the wrong medicine? ! Or is he kidding us? !

The next second, behind the three black pirates, black heads popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of them, and there was no sign of stopping. There were still more black heads popping up from behind...

Oh shit!

A team of Zhejiang Army soldiers now understood why Skinny Monkey looked so nervous that he was deformed. Damn, how come so many Japanese pirates appeared

This is no longer a surprise, it's a shock.
