"Poof!" another pirate was killed by an arrow in the head, and one of the pirates broke his neck.

In the darkness, Zheng He had already arranged a few masters and killed a few pirates who came on board to sneak attack. Originally, the pirates were still debating whether to surprise the Ming army on the ship, but they still decided to wait for the other ships to arrive.

Suddenly, "whoosh... Pounce..."Arrows rained down in the darkness, and the assembled pirates quickly fell more than three hundred people, including several leaders. The rest of the pirates immediately lay down and fired back into the darkness with their bows and arrows, but they couldn't see their target at all, and fired blindly.

So the rain of arrows continued to fire, and in the darkness there were arrows flying continuously, making a seeping swishing sound, almost every three or four arrows could hit one person, and the one who was hit by the arrow let out a seeping scream, and was frightened to pee. After a murderous rain of arrows, there were already thousands of pirate casualties, how could it be that a ninth of them had been lost before they even started.

But the tragedy was not over, and dense footsteps began to sound on the deck. "That's a soldier of the Ming Army!" shouted in fear when he heard the movement.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers had rushed out of the deck, and it seemed that it did not take much time to form several horizontal columns, covering the entire front of the deck, and jumped onto the pirate's warship with spears in hand. The tip of the spear reflected the faint sky and shone with a cold light.

Some of the pirates hurriedly raised their weapons in an attempt to fight back, but the rain of arrows began to patronize them again, this time closer, and suddenly another group fell. There were also pirate archers who successfully shot arrows, and most of them also hit the Ming soldiers, but the first two rows of soldiers were wearing double-layer rattan armor, and even their faces were masked, and it was difficult for ordinary arrows to kill them smoothly, unless they happened to hit the eye or something.

In fact, some Ming soldiers were slightly wounded, but none of them retreated, and the distance was not far, so they pounced on the pirate ship, and the Ming soldiers assassinated them from top to bottom.

"Kill, kill, kill!" With a burst of trumpets, the Ming soldiers quickly drew their guns and retracted, and a row of bandits had already fallen, and if they stabbed out again, it was the next wave of people standing.

"How can they stab so fast?"

That's what every pirate who was stabbed thought so, and they all resisted, but before their weapons could stab their opponents, their spears had already killed them. How can you win in the face of well-trained soldiers? Some pirates, who were lucky enough to have no one to take care of them, tried to sneak attack, but were mostly stabbed down by the spears of the second row of soldiers.

After more than twenty spurs, the rows of pirates in front of them all fell, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and the ones who were not dead for the time being were still howling without a sound. Seeing those soldiers like killing gods and entering a no-man's land, the brothers in front were stabbed down like scarecrows, almost powerless to fight back, and the pirates in the back row were almost frightened, and their hands could hardly hold their weapons, and they involuntarily retreated.

At this time, someone shouted something, and the first two rows of spearmen took a few steps back, and the two rows behind came up and continued to kill. Not only pikemen, but archers continue to exert their power, with a focus on pirate leaders, archers, and especially brave pirates.

"Boom, boom!" Whenever the pirates gathered together and tried to fight back frantically, gunpowder was thrown into their group, extinguishing their sense of resistance. After several rounds of attacks, more than 2,000 of the 8,000 pirates had died, and the remaining 6,000 had retreated step by step, and the latter had retreated to the side of the various warships, and hundreds of people had even jumped into the sea to flee for their lives.

"Surrender! Surrender!"

Zheng He's soldiers really did not kill those who knelt and begged, but instead killed those who resisted. As more and more people begged to surrender, finally the remaining pirates collapsed and all surrendered. Of course, there were more than 1,000 people who jumped into the sea to swim, but where could they swim in the dark?

In the end, more than 9,000 pirates were annihilated, of whom more than 3,000 were killed and seriously wounded, 5,000 surrendered and captured, and more than 1,000 jumped into the sea. Of course, this kind of close-range fighting, the number of opponents is large, and it is impossible for them not to lose at all, and the Ming army also killed more than 100 people, seriously injured more than 300 people, and slightly injured even more. It was a bit of a hassle to surrender, because there were so many captives that it would take a long time to put them on a bunch alone.

When the battle was over, the deck of the warship was full of corpses, stumps, and weapons, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood, which flowed down the deck like a stream into the sea, easily staining a large area of the nearby sea red.

Five hundred of the captives who appeared to be honest were selected and guarded by the Ming soldiers, who were ordered to gather their weapons, then clean up the corpses, clean up, and tie the other captives in strings. As for those who were seriously injured and couldn't move, the Ming soldiers went up and poked a few spears to give them a good time.

Huo Dongfang looked at the large group of captives with a fierce look in his eyes, and whispered to Zheng He: "There are so many people, you have to let people watch, just kill them all!"

Zheng He showed a slight discoloration: "This kid is younger than those old pirates!" After thinking for a while, he said: "It just so happens that we are short of labor, so we don't need to use it in vain, but those leaders ......" turned around and ordered: "Pick out all the leaders!"

Seeing the blood all over the ground, the mountains of weapons, and the large groups of prisoners, not only did they exclaim in surprise, but they also saw that the groups of pirates who were usually fierce and cruel and feared by everyone were well cleaned up, and everyone applauded. The Ming soldiers smashed the pirates with all kinds of garbage, rotten eggs, stones, etc., and smashed these people's heads to bleed, crying for their fathers and mothers.

Let the Ming soldiers vent for a while, Zheng He came out of the ranks, he raised his hands and pressed down, stopped the chaos of the soldiers, and then said loudly: "Today I am here to officially announce that no matter who invades us in the future, anyone who violates us will be counterattacked by us, kill them! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and shouted loudly, their voices neat, high-pitched and powerful, and their momentum soared into the sky. In the end, everyone present shouted along, looking imposing.

The pirates shuddered with fear, and many of them were paralyzed with fright, and desperately hid in the middle of the crowd, as if it would be safer to do so.

Then Zheng He asked someone to bring two strings of pirates: "These people are all pirate leaders who have done a lot of evil, and they don't know how much blood of merchants and ordinary people are stained on their hands, and today we will do the right thing for heaven!" With a wave of his hand, a group of recruits rushed up, raising guns and stabbing at them.

More than 100 pirate leaders fell to the ground one after another, some of them were shot and died quickly, while others were not dead for a while, dragging their intestines and crawling on the ground and howling, and everyone on the lookers applauded and applauded.

Zheng He turned to the other pirates: "You are lucky to be slaves of our Ming army, if you work hard, you can save your life, and you may be free in the future, otherwise you will end up like them." ”

Plop plop pirate captives knelt down in large numbers, crying and shouting for allegiance. If you can't just say it, you have to tie a bundle, and you can tie a foot-long rattan between your hands and feet, so that you can work, but it is difficult to resist, and you will shackle them in the future.

As for the pirates on the ships that went to support, they didn't go far to hear the sound of fighting on the ships of Zheng He's fleet, instead of going back to see, they rowed harder, lest they hurt themselves.

Paddle and row, the ships of the fleet were gradually out of sight, and the pirates relaxed and slowly rowed. They were in the strait between Sumatra and Orient Island, and it was still dark. All of a sudden, it seems, the pirates noticed a large number of shadows approaching in front of them and on both sides, and they were a lot of ships, because it was dark, and when they found them, the ships were already very close.

Sailing in the second half of the night, except for urgent matters, it is robbery, and if it is directly surrounded like this, it must be robbery. The pirates thought to themselves that it was really a thief's bones that had touched the robbery, and that they had recognized the wrong person, and that one of the sailmen thought that no one dared to mess with him in the background, and shouted in the local dialect: "We are ......."

"Whoosh!" a feathered arrow flew in the darkness, right in his mouth, peeking through the back of his neck. "Boom!" the mouthy man fell, the sails were out of control, and the wind moved wildly, and the ship suddenly turned in circles.

The pirates knew that they had encountered black and black, but at this time there were only a few people on their ships, sails, rudders, and oars, and they had no combat power at all, so they could only flee in all directions. However, the opposing ship had many people and oars, and the speed was very fast, and soon they caught up with them, and some of the opposing ships went straight to several large ships, while others began to chase and kill other ships.

"Plop... Plop on..."The pirates who are more elves jump directly into the water and dive into the water, according to their experience, the other party mainly wants cargo, and should not be exhausted.

Countless hooks and ladders were put on the side ......of the ship, and many people jumped up and quickly took control of the big ship, and two 1,000-ton ships were directly helped, and many people quickly rushed to the already empty deck.

After getting all the big ships, the people who came to control the big ships to adjust their direction in real time, and directly chased the fleeing pirate boats. The sound of killing on the sea was everywhere, there were many people and boats, and the speed was extremely fast, and it was easy to chase the pirate ship, spears and arrows were on the line, killing people and seizing the ship, and the sound of screaming and falling into the water continued to sound.

It was not long before the great fleet broke down, the larger ships were almost all destroyed, the smaller ones were sunk a lot, and only a few young men who were too lazy to chase after them fled in the dark, not knowing where they were going.

"Who's coming?"
