I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 890 - Chapter 890 Capturing the Leader

Chapter 890: Capturing the Leader Chapter 890: Capturing the Leader Editor: Atlas Studios Fan Zijin ate the snacks with a wooden expression and ignored Mu Yangling’s gentle gaze.

He felt that he’d only tugged at Mu Yangling’s sleeve and cried just now entirely because his mind was still muddled.

He thought that he was still dreaming.

Otherwise, why would he do such an embarrassing thing?

Mu Yangling knew what he was thinking, but this didn’t stop her from looking at him happily.

The stone that had been hanging in her heart was finally lifted.

How could losing face be more important than one’s life?

Yanmo carefully moved over and said, “Master, I’ve already asked Master Zhou to count the number of people.

We can go down the mountain when His Highness is here.” Fan Zijin humphed softly and similarly did not have a good expression on his face towards Yanmo.

Even though Yanmo had chased everyone around Fan Zijin away at that time and did not embarrass himself in front of them any further, his loss of composure had already been seen by everyone.

And this was unforgivable.

He chomped on half a piece of snack ruthlessly and choked.

Seeing this, Mu Yangling patted his back and fed him some water.

Noticing that he was staring at the remaining half a piece of the snack on the ground, she asked carefully, “I still have a lot with me.

Do you want to eat more?” Fan Zijin had eaten eight pieces of snacks in a row, something he’d never done in the past.

His stomach had always been delicate and he was self-disciplined.

No matter how delicious the food was, he never ate so much at once.

Fan Zijin rubbed his stomach, shook his head, and muttered, “It’s not good to eat too many snacksaEUR|” Zhou De, who was sitting at the side and munching on dry food, felt that the Duke of Peaceful State was really hateful.

At the foot of the mountain, Qi Haoran also attracted the hatred of all the pirates.

As soon as the cannon sounded, Qi Haoran brought his men and sneaked up.

When he saw the chaos in the pirate camp, he immediately understood that the other party was not united.

As for those who were running in all directions, they had black hair and yellow skin like them.

On the other hand, those Westerners had white skin and blond hair.

Qi Haoran immediately ordered, “Only kill the Westerners.

As long as those black-haired people don’t attack, ignore them.

Let’s go!” Qi Haoran might not be confident fighting a sea battle, but this was on land!

Other than General Yuan, who else had he submitted to in Great Qi?

Qi Haoran rushed forward with his men.

The Naval Division soldiers were cowards who were weak and could not deal with the tall and well-built Westerners.

But even if they couldn’t single-handedly defeat a Westerner, surely they could handle it if it was three against one?

Remembering the Prince’s teachings, the infantry charged forward in groups of three.

This way, it would be three against one, and three teams would also look out for each other.

Before the infantrymen could charge forward, the archers’ arrows rained down on them.

Qi Haoran specially targeted the gunmen who were standing far away.

Although he didn’t like to use firearms, it wasn’t that he didn’t know about this kind of weapon.

He had played with it when he was young.

This thing wasn’t inferior to a bow and arrow when the distance was far, but it was useless when they were up close.

In any case, the Westerners did not each have a gun.

Most of them were holding swords and sabers, while those who were holding guns were at the back.

The shots just now had scattered them a little.

Qi Haoran arranged for two teams of archers to shoot arrows here.

Considering the range and accuracy of the Naval Division’s archers were not high, Qi Haoran did not expect them to hit anyone.

However, the arrows could cause a lot of trouble.

Qi Haoran held his sword and used his qinggong to flash between them.

With his swift movements, he finished them off one by one.

Before the Westerners could aim, the figure flashed in another direction.

They had fought with the Han people for so many years and had never seen such a technique.

Shocked, they shouted in their language, “Devil!

This is a devil!” Zhou Zhou also rushed up with his men to surround the Westerners, quickly slaying them.

The two sides completely engaged in a battle.

At this moment, the cannons were completely useless when the two sides were entangled together.

When the natives saw that the soldiers had let them go and were only going after the Westerners, they shouted, “Run!” The natives ran even more happily, too fast for the Westerners to stop them at all.

There were only 3,000 of them pirates, and there were about 2,000 natives.

Now, half of their manpower had escaped.

Coupled with their earlier casualties, the two sides were almost evenly matched at the moment.

Due to the fact that the Westerners were taller and stronger, they temporarily had the advantage.

However, Qi Haoran had successfully dispersed the spearmen so that they could not be connected from the front to the back.

Behind his infantrymen were archers who shot arrows at the spots where the Westerners were gathered.

Even if they were not accurate enough, they could still kill a lot of them.

The battle situation was at a stalemate.

Qi Haoran was filled with hatred as he killed the enemy.

Ultimately, his soldiers were still too weak and had to fight three against one.

He led a few lieutenants to hold the fort, but that didn’t manage to reduce the casualties.

However, he did not know how shocked the lieutenants were.

They had also fought with the Western pirates before.

Because they were strong and had firearms, they had suffered tragic casualties every time.

In the past, even if ten of them died, they might not be able to injure even one of the enemy.

It was because they usually died before they could rush forward.

Those who rushed forward were quickly killed because of the lack of coordination.

Now that they saw that the soldiers were also capable of killing a lot of the Western pirates, they immediately felt that this tactic was good and planned to train the soldiers hard when they returned.

On the mountain, the guard who had been paying attention to the situation at the foot of the mountain reported to Mu Yangling, “Your Highness, they’re locked in a stalemate at the foot of the mountain.” Mu Yangling picked up her bow and arrow and said, “Leave three people to protect the Duke.

The five of you, follow me down.” The guard captain hurriedly said, “Your Highness, the 400 of us can be of some use, too.

Why don’t we teach them a lesson from behind?” “You still have arrows?” The guard captain smiled and said, “Yes, I specially kept it for the final life-and-death battle, but there aren’t many left.” He asked someone to bring out the arrows that were left.

Mu Yangling looked at the terrain at the foot of the mountain and pointed to a spot.

“Take your men and lie down there.

Although you’ve eaten something, running will consume your stamina, so just guard there.

Don’t shoot all your arrows at once.

Take it slowly and save enough arrows to protect yourselves.” The guard captain agreed.

Mu Yangling turned to his commando and said, “Our target is those with guns.” Mu Yangling patted Fan Zijin’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “Wait for us here.

Don’t stick your head out.

Remember, don’t stick your head out!” Fan Zijin rolled his eyes.

He was so sleepy now that he wouldn’t move even if someone forced him to stand up with a knife.

Mu Yangling smiled and understood what he meant.

She then led her men to hide.

Mu Yangling’s arrows were different from others, in that they were longer.

The gunmen fell beside Qi Haoran and collapsed one after another.

Just from the sound, he knew that Mu Yangling had arrived.

As he killed the enemy, he shouted, “Ah Ling, shoot the leader!” Even though the Westerners had learned Mandarin, they still could not understand this phrase.

However, they subconsciously knew that the other party was about to use a big move, so they became nervous.

Mu Yangling kept shooting arrows.

As the two men were relatively close, one arrow pierced through one person’s neck before going on to pierce another.

Considering the distance between the two parties was not short, he did not expect the other party’s arrows to be so powerful.

Many people saw this scene.

The soldiers’ morale was boosted, and their battle cries soared into the sky.

The Westerners, on the other hand, were astounded.

How could bows and arrows be more powerful than firearms?

Even a firearm could not shoot through two people at one go, and furthermore it was not at close rangeaEUR| The pirate leader shouted, “Find that person and kill him!” The people who had been surrounding him immediately dispersed and attacked in the direction of the arrow.

The moment the gap appeared, Mu Yangling nocked an arrow and shot it at the pirate leaderaEUR| The bearded Westerner’s eyes widened in disbelief until he collapsed.

With the leader dead, the pirates immediately fell into chaos.

Under such circumstances, they finally captured the pirates before sunset.
