As soon as the soldiers finished cleaning the dock, Wu Yizhou also rushed into the bay by boat. He jumped from the boat, grabbed one of the captains and said, "Take your men and clean up the camp!" Dead or alive, give me a stab! If you have the whole one, catch it back! “

The excited captain pounced with a group of people. Others, under the command of Wu Yizhou, quickly began to carry the supplies on the small boat. The main supplies transported on the small boats behind were cannons, shells, and gunpowder. This was prepared for the assault on the cottage.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire dock area and barracks had been completely cleared. And the artillery was carried ashore with the efforts of the sailors.

Liu Pei also rushed to the dock at this time. He looked up at the cottage, where the pirates had already been awakened by the sound of the explosion. However, when they saw the shadowy figures at the foot of the mountain, they didn't know how many enemies there were, so they didn't mean to send reinforcements down the mountain at all. However, the pirate leader guarding the camp was quite clever, and after sealing the gate, he lit the brazier on the wall, completely eliminating the possibility of being attacked by the dark.

At this time, Wu Yizhou ran over and reported: "Master, the beach and the dock have been cleaned up. Caught a dozen live mouths. The rest are dead. ”

Liu Pei then looked back at the beach. On the beach, his men were clearing the battlefield with the faint light of the stars and a small number of torches. The bodies that were cleaned up from the docks and boats were still in good condition, and most of them were whole corpses. And the corpses in the camp are almost not intact! Some even have only a little minced meat left, or nothing at all!

Liu Pei said: "The clean-up work in the camp picks those novices. But be sure to pair it with some veterans and watch them don't have any problems. In addition, tell your brothers to beat up all the torches and scare the mountain brightly! ”

With Liu Pei's order, the number of torches on the beach and on the sea surface in the bay expanded rapidly, and the beach and half of the bay were illuminated! Liu Pei's trick is called taking the lead! First, use torches to highlight the number of your own people and intimidate the enemies in the cottage. Maybe they surrendered in fear.

For this reason, Liu Pei specially ordered to bring more fire! Now each person has a torch in his hand, and the sailors have also planted a lot of torches on the beach very creatively! Anyway, the pirates in the cottage couldn't see it from that far away, and at most they could count the number of torches. If they could count them, they would think that Liu Pei led a team of at least 4,000 people! In fact, Liu Pei brought far fewer people!

But Liu Pei's strategy succeeded! The people in the cottage were frightened by the countless torches! Because the number of people in the cottage was relatively small, they did not dare to send people to investigate the actual situation of the enemy. After all, the cottage was built on top of the mountain, and it was not convenient to go up and down, so most of the pirates lived in camps and ships. As a result, with an explosion, most of the people were lost! Now there are only more than 70 Zheng Zhilong's subordinates who are ready to stay on the island for a long time, and there are some pirates with relatively low status, only more than 100 people. With the current people, it is very difficult to defend the cottage, let alone send people to investigate.

After Wu Yizhou gave the order, he was very happy to look at the 9 sea ships moored in the bay! said: "Dashuai, can we stay on these ships?" ”

Liu Pei shook his head regretfully and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to keep them!" ”

Inadvertently, he said a little anxiously: "Why? We're going to have a bunch of trained sailors soon, wouldn't it be nice to hand them over? Besides, if there are not enough people, you can keep the boat first and use it when you have enough people! ”

Liu Pei shook his head and said, "That's impossible!" I guess this battle is running out. What if there really is no war and they ask us for ships? If we don't, these shipowners will be our opponents, and we will be hostile to many. So just burn things! ”

Wu Yizhou clicked his lips and said regretfully: "It's a pity! ”

Liu Pei said indifferently: "There's nothing to be sorry for!" We will have more boats in the future! As long as the shipyard is there, you can have any kind of ship you want! ”

When Wu Yizhou heard Liu Pei say this, he said with a sad face: "Then burn it when you evacuate!" Or I'll see it distressed! ”

Liu Pei smiled and didn't speak. Of course, he could only burn the ship when he was evacuating. If the ship is burned now, the people on the cottage will understand that they will be cut off, and they may fight to the death. That would lead to an attack on the cottage is that the casualties will be much greater.

At this time, the big ships of Liu Pei's fleet also rushed into the bay with open fire, filling the small bay to the brim. This puts more pressure on the people on the cottage. None of the people standing on the wall of the wall said anything, but silently looked at the busy figures below.

By the time the battlefield was completely cleaned, the sky was already dark. Liu Pei ordered everyone to rest for half an hour before attacking the cottage.

When the sky was bright, Liu Pei ordered the soldiers to eat some dry food, and then commanded the soldiers to climb to the top of the mountain and prepare to attack the cottage. Liu Pei believes that after such a long period of mental torture, the people in the cottage are close to collapse. When the time comes, put people in front of the cottage, maybe the cottage will be self-defeating!

But there should still be some intimidation. Liu Pei ordered the artillery to go up the mountain. The soldiers walked along the mountain road, carrying tiger cannons. Fortunately, the Tiger Gun is relatively light. Easy to carry. So Liu Pei transferred 20 tiger cannons in one go.

Approaching the range of the cottage artillery, the team cautiously stopped and began to build the battery. At the same time, Liu Pei asked the soldiers to gather as much as possible, and the unfavorable factors of the terrain of the treasury were arranged in a relatively close formation. In particular, the musketeers who had just become Marines stood in the first row.

Liu Pei already knew the approximate number of enemies in the fortress at this time, and he was sure to break through the city under the cover of artillery and firearms. But in this case, the casualties will definitely be very heavy! Maybe more than the number of defenders in the cottage. But Liu Pei has already made up his mind to take the cottage. At this time, she can't afford to miss any opportunity to weaken her opponent.

However, before that, Liu Pei still planned to try to persuade him to surrender. Liu Pei waved his hand, and two soldiers walked over with a captured pirate. By this time, the pirate had already been frightened and weakened! If it weren't for someone on both sides of him, he would have collapsed to the ground by now.

Liu Pei stared at the pirate with his head down, held the hilt of the knife with his backhand, and removed a third of the knife from the scabbard. Pick up the pirate's jaw with the end of the hilt and force him to look up. Liu Pei stared at his panicked eyes and said, "Give you a chance to live!" Go in and tell them that within the time of a stick of incense, surrender and live! If I break through the cottage, all the people inside will be executed! Got it? ”

The pirate stared at Liu Pei's red goggles and nodded in horror. Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "Untie his rope and let him go." ”

One of the pirate's soldiers pulled out his knife and cut the rope, then grabbed him by the collar to help him stand up, and then shoved the pirate in the direction of the gate. The pirate couldn't stand it and fell to the ground. Then he jumped up frantically and ran towards the cottage with a roll. The stumbling posture along the way caused everyone to burst into laughter.

As the pirate approached the cottage, he shouted in a heart-rending voice: "Don't let go of the arrows! I'm a rotten tongue! ”

His desperate shouting still had an effect. For he had seen someone on the wall with an outstretched bow and arrow aimed at him. It wasn't until they heard him shout his nickname that the men with bows and arrows withdrew their weapons. And some people were looking at him.

Seeing them put away their weapons, the rotten tongue was completely relieved! I don't have to die at the hands of my own family. He ran to the gate and banged on the door desperately and shouted, "Open the door!" Let me in! ”

But how could the door be opened for him alone? However, the people on the wall still threw a rope down. The rotten tongue grabbed the rope and climbed up the wall with two of the three.

As soon as the rotten tongue climbed to the wall, before he could catch a few breaths, someone grabbed the main collar and asked, "What's going on down there?" Hurry up and say. ”
