Chen Zuyi and several bosses were on the beach with 20,000 pirates, still waiting for the ferry of the fleet, but they didn't come, until noon, a large group of people were almost sunburned, hungry and screaming, and had to retreat a few hundred steps, back to the jungle to cool down, and find some fruit to eat.

Several small boats were sent to check, but they did not come back, and Chen Zuyi realized that something was wrong. It wasn't until the evening that someone brought a few people back from the seashore, and they managed to run out from under the tiger's mouth, and they had already rowed dozens of miles and went ashore again, and ran back from the shore.

"First we saw that the people who attacked Zheng He's fleet were attacked, and then we came back and let people attack them on the way, and the other party attacked us, snatched our big ship, and chased and killed us, and the rest of the ships did not know where to go. Several people complained.

"What?" Chen Zuyi was hit by five thunderbolts, and grabbed one: "Who is it?"

"I can't see their faces clearly, but they seem to be much taller and stronger than us, and they should be the commandos of the Ming army. ”

Chen Zuyi let go: "Where did these people come from?"

Then someone made a detour to spread the news: "Zheng He's fleet wiped out all the 10,000 people who attacked the sneak attack, and the loss itself does not seem to be too great."

The bosses were cold from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet: "It's so powerful, I wouldn't have messed with them if I knew it." "A few of them are going to quit right now.

But there is one who said he didn't do it, it turned out that this was originally the nephew of King Adan, and he was also a senior officer in the country of Adan, he originally greeted the king and a few bigwigs, and brought some people out to make some extra money, but he lost a lot and got nothing, how to explain when he went back?

"Don't disperse yet, you have to get your money back, I'll go back and tell the king, and then bring someone over." ”

When the others heard that there was hope, they agreed and waited.

When King Suha of Adan heard his nephew say this, his nose was crooked, and a big mouth hit it: "Grass, how did you promise me, return my boat!"

It turns out that most of the ships used in this sortie are from the Kingdom of Adan, and they are all considered king's, and some are still borrowed, so what can I do if I can't get on them?

Although he was so angry, he was really as his nephew said, he still had to get his money, at least he had to get back the loss of the ship, and he searched for ships again, forcibly borrowed all the remaining ships in the country, and even detained the merchant ships that happened to be parked in the port to help them transport troops, barely able to transport 10,000 people at a time.

However, the previous battle reminded them that the 10,000 pirates were just going to deliver food, and now they simply ripped off the mask of hypocrisy and planned to send out the few remaining 5,000 regular troops in the kingdom, believing that the regular army could always save the situation.

"But what about the attack from the Ming army at sea?"

Chen Zuyi sent people out first, trying to find the nests of those people, but it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where to find it? Even if you find it, you can move it at any time.

This attack started from the country of Adan, and it was planned to send 10,000 people from the country of Adan first, and then to Sumatra to pick up the 20,000 people. However, this time, in order to prevent an attack at sea, 3,000 people were to be left on board, all of whom were experienced pirates, and such a wave could actually only land 7,000 people.

"Boom, boom!" Chen Zuyi woke up from his sleep and looked at the port area, but he couldn't see anything. But an hour later, someone crawled and reported: "King, the ship ...... The ship blew up!"

It turned out that the four large merchant ships he had detained had been blown up in the harbor, and they had already sunk in the harbor, and the flames were blazing. Each of these four ships could carry five hundred people, and was one of the main forces of his transport fleet. He came to the scene in person and was organizing people to extinguish the fire and salvage, but at that time, it was not so easy to salvage a boat, and it took more than half a month to grind and chirp.

At this time, someone came up and asked for compensation for the loss. It turned out that the owner of the four ships was a prince of the Shan country, and even the king of that country had a share in the ship, and the original ship that was detained was promised to be leased, and he had to compensate for the loss of the relevant shipping, but now the ship has sunk, and Chen Zuyi has to pay compensation.

Although Chen Zuyi was angry, he didn't dare to get angry easily, because the strength of the Shan country was not bad, and if there was a war between the two countries, it would be a heavy loss, and Zheng He's fleet would be even more unable to fight.

"Don't worry, I will definitely compensate for the loss. Although he patted his chest and promised compensation, he was absolutely reluctant to take money from his inner treasury, but wanted to get back the losses from Zheng He's fleet.

Chen Zuyi simply made a desperate gamble, sent all the ships in his hand to carry 8,000 people led by himself, and then sent the pirates in Sumatra to attack the Sumatran port, hijacked many small boats and carried 2,000 people, and gathered 10,000 people to attack Zheng He's fleet.

The king of Sumatra was naturally angry, but there were still 10,000 pirates on his island, and even his kingdom would not dare to provoke them. What's more, those pirates were concentrated in the remote areas near the border between his kingdom and the state of Aceh, and it was quite troublesome to encircle and suppress them. A rather large fleet set sail again, and there was no need to keep it secret, because it couldn't be kept secret at all.

"Snort...... Bang!" A fireworks bomb flew into the sky in the distance and exploded, that is, someone is coming!

The pirates lined up their ships and prepared to meet the enemy. Countless black dots appeared in the distance, and finally the black dots gradually became apparent, which was Zheng He's fleet, embroidered with a golden-red sun.

However, after observing the other party, Chen Zuyi was relieved, the other party should not be as many as others, in the era of broadside warfare, in the case of similar combat power, half of which side has more people and which side takes advantage, although at this time the people in his hands are not all good at naval warfare.

Because the small boat obviously suffered, it was mainly the big boat that went on first, and the small boat sneaked up on the side. At the beginning, it was naturally an arrow attack, the arrows on the sea were like flying locusts, the bow of the Ming soldiers was quite good, it was a long-range foot bow, and the range of the projectile was as high as 200 steps, which was beyond the reach of the pirates, but the pirates had a big shield on this side, and they could temporarily dodge, and the actual loss caused by the arrow attack was not very large. Unless there is artillery, it will have to be solved by broadside combat.

Zheng He knew that the other party was difficult to deal with with with many people and ships, so he didn't get too close, but only harassed him from a long distance. Suddenly, Zheng He's fleet turned to the other side and rushed towards the small ships of the South Sea pirates, which had originally come up to sneak attack, but suddenly became the target of the sneak attack.

In naval warfare at this time, large ships have obvious advantages over small ships, because the hull is large, it can carry more people and weapons, and even small ships can be easily defeated by crushing the hull, not to mention that the army is equipped with a large number of long-range infantry bows.

"Whoosh whoosh...... Bang bang ...... "The arrows on the Ming army ships were like flying locusts, enveloping small boats, and the small boats that were often slightly close were immediately shot into hedgehogs, and it was not easy to carry large shields on small boats, in fact, even small shields were not enough, and the people on board could not get good protection.

What bothers the Nanyang pirates is that the Ming army does not seem to be stingy with arrows, which are rare and good arrows, and they are all used for accurate shooting on their side.

"Damn China's rich and ruined ......," the pirates cursed.

"Whew...... Ah......" There was a scream from time to time on the sea, that was the Ming army's arrows through the gaps between the shields, killing and injuring the Nanyang pirates, and even some arrows directly penetrated the shield, the lethality of high-quality arrows is not comparable to the inferior products made by the Nanyang people.

When most of the people on board were killed or wounded, and the power of the small boat was greatly reduced, it also faced another fate, crushing.

"Boom...... "Constantly the small ships ......of the pirates of the South Seas are being knocked over, or crushed under the bow of the big ships, and turned into pieces.

Chen Zuyi was so angry that he shouted, ordered the oarsmen to row violently, and the big boat rushed up to fight. At the same time, he prepared a rocket, ready to shoot the opponent's sail as soon as he approached, forcing the opponent to engage in a string battle, but as soon as the big ship rushed over, Zheng He's ship also took advantage of the situation to distance himself and did not give him this opportunity.

Two or three hours passed, and the South Sea pirates lost some small boats and pirates, although they did not break their muscles and bones and suffered many casualties, but the psychological pressure was huge, because there was a group of hungry wolves around them who would pounce at any time. In the end, Chen Zuyi had to give up the outflanking plan, all the small boats withdrew to the vicinity of the big ships, and the entire fleet continued to move forward.

It is said that under the outflanking of the other side's maritime forces, his plan to board the treasure ship was already in a very dangerous situation, first of all, the safety of the sea was not guaranteed, and the boarding personnel were also facing the danger of being attacked from both sides.

However, Chen Zuyi also has his plan, send these more than 5,000 people to the treasure ship of Zheng He's fleet, and then lead the fleet back to pick up people, as long as these 5,000 people support for a period of time, he can bring more people, if 30,000 people get on the treasure ship, he can naturally crush the Ming army of several thousand people.

In his opinion, a regular army of more than 5,000 people, well equipped and trained, could hold out for a day until he brought in more people. Originally, Zheng He's fleet was not far away, and it was already in sight in the blink of an eye, Chen Zuyi ordered four thousand pirates and some ships to break off, and the pirates of other ships quickly went ashore.

The soldiers after boarding the treasure ship followed their plan, lining up the large shields in front as protection, exposing the long spear tips as a means of counterattack, which was a common way of infantry combat. Under the cover of large shields and spears, more soldiers boarded the ship, and in addition to spears, broadswords, bows and arrows, shields, they were all dressed in rattan armor, and they were much stronger than ordinary pirates in terms of equipment. More than 5,000 people boarded the ship, and Chen Zuyi immediately ordered the boat to go back to pick up the others.

After driving some distance, he heard a faint rumbling sound from the shore, and he said that his heart was broken, but he could not be distracted, because the other warships of Zheng He's fleet had already surrounded him......
