After sending away the soldiers who delivered the letter, Li Dazhu was already full of confidence in holding the island! And here the side was not frustrated by the failure of this offensive. After all, this attack is a temptation! Their main purpose is still to focus on Liu Pei's team, and they will not waste too much energy on this island.

When the flotilla returned to the larger forces, they adjusted and rallied. Staying quietly on the surface of the sea, it seems that he is not going to make any more moves. The first day of the confrontation between the two sides was spent peacefully after a simple mutual test.

Early the next morning, the sun had just sprinkled golden light on the sea, and Zheng Zhilong's fleet began to move as if it had been sunburned into a honeycomb. Their second temptation began.

A large number of small boats were laid down on more than eighty huge sea boats. Suddenly, the volume of the fleet seemed to expand several times. Then the boats lined up and headed for the back of the island.

As an island, the bay is its best entry point. And there are a lot of stones in other places, and the big ships can't get close. In some places, even small boats are difficult to get close to, but in very few areas, small boats can still dock. It's just that the landing place is all mountainous, which is not conducive to the movement of large forces. But with enough manpower, it is still possible to carve out a rudimentary landing field,

The boats paddled to a large rocky area. The boats nimbly navigated the reef and approached the island. These pirates are good at handling ships! Between the rocks with different teeth, they still made the boat slippery and almost flying!

As the first boat approached the shore to unload a group of pirates, other pirates began to climb the gravel flats. The pirates quickly advanced, cutting down a bunch of bushes with their knives and axes, creating a relatively large landing field. Then they climbed up the mountain to the ridge.

If you map their march route, you will be able to see that the direction of their march is towards the beach area. In other words, they will split the cottage and the hilltop battery into two parts.

I have to say that Zheng Zhilong and they calculated quite well. Divide the enemy first, then destroy each one. After receiving the news that the enemy might land on the side of the island, Li Dazhu could not see what the enemy was doing, so he could only guess. This made him more and more distracted the more he speculated.

Still, he was confident that his brothers would be able to deal with any eventuality. After informing the fort of the news of safety, he also specially reminded them to be careful of the enemy's sneak attack. And told the hilltop battery about his own guess that the enemy had landed from behind the island, trying to cut off their contact.

By noon, the first pirate had finally appeared on the ridge. And they are also carving a path down the ridge. After Li Dazhu got the news, he carefully observed it with a telescope

After that, he sneered and said, "How many people are useless!" Even if they can drive the path, they can't bring up the artillery! If you don't have artillery, you want to break the cottage, go dream! ”

Later, Zheng Zhilong also got a report on the actual situation. As Li Dazhu guessed, the pirates clearly told several leaders that small cannons similar to the Tiger Cannons could still be sent, and other slightly heavier cannons should not be considered!

Zheng Zhilong inquired in detail about the news of their station. He also told the pirates to beware of the possibility of night attacks from the enemy! After all, it is in the best interests of the defenders to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and drive them out into the sea. So the pirates were told to return to the other side of the ridge and camp in the afternoon when the sun was still on, leaving half a trail on the slopes.

At this time, Li Dazhu fell into a state of anxiety at this time. He was tempted to launch an attack on the enemy. Because at this time the enemy was not firmly established, especially since they were busy opening up mountain roads, there would certainly not be a strong camp, which was very conducive to the attack.

But at the same time, he also hesitated that the other party would be defensive. Because in this case, any commander in his right mind will be prepared for an important counterattack by the enemy's night attack. And the number of people on the cottage is not much, only a few hundred people are full. More than 100 people were to be stationed at the hilltop battery. Now there are only more than 300 people left in the cottage. If there are fewer people in the night raid, it will not make a difference; The number of people dispatched was large, and the cottage was empty. So Li Dazhu scratched his head very much.

Seeing that the night was getting darker and deeper, the hour was almost over. If you don't do it again, the best time for tonight's night attack will be lost! Li Dazhu, who was anxious to grab his hair, could only walk around the wall, thinking repeatedly about whether to do it or not?

Just when he hesitated, at this time, he remembered the scene when Liu Pei gave them a training class. He still remembered that Liu Pei once said a sentence, that is, don't do what the enemy wants you to do!

So Li Dazhu let go of his mind and thought about what the enemy would want me to do at this time? What are they most afraid of me for?

And he quickly came to the conclusion: what the enemy fears most is that he succeeds in a night attack! On the other hand, since the enemy is most afraid of being attacked at night, then they will definitely guard against night attacks, and even set traps for them! So you can't easily attack the enemy at night!

Then he began to rack his brain again, then what would be the enemy's trap? Is it to ambush the night raiding team halfway, or do you have other ideas about that?

It was just after the hour, and it was the end of the night. A crack opened in the gate of the cottage, and a group of about 150 people crept out of the camp gate and touched the ridge where the pirates had been.

Li Dazhu stood on the wall, staring at them and disappearing into the darkness, in his heart

It's also seven up and eight down! He wasn't quite sure he was right. But there is no turning back from the bow, and since the person has been released, he will wait for the final result.

After waiting for about half an hour, all of a sudden, a violent shouting and a dense sound of fire rang out on the ridge! The sound travels far away in the silent night! Just as the shouts of killing came, someone in the bushes on the side of the cottage whispered: "Brothers! Those little cubs have been fooled! Let's go, touch the stockade! ”

With the urging of this voice, a team of about two hundred people reached the cottage from the side and back. They know that the cottage is not big and that the number of people it can accommodate is limited. The more than 100 people who had just touched out had all been seen by them. Although they could not count the exact number, they could still estimate the approximate number.

They felt that there were probably few people in this small village who were on the defensive. At this time, I touched it and captured the stockade, which just cut off the enemy's retreat from the night attack! As long as you hold on until dawn, the island will be in your hands!

And these people seem to be well prepared for this night attack. More than 200 people were dressed in black and pants. Everyone is strong and has light hands and feet. They quickly approached the right side of the wall. It seems that the proximity to the mountain wall is very reassuring to the defenders. There was only one torch stuck in the wall. The surrounding environment is very gloomy. This is the perfect place for them to hide and get closer.

But there is one thing these people are missing. Just as they were engrossed in approaching the cottage, they didn't notice at all that the shouting and killing on the top of the mountain had stopped!

At this time, the first group of people had already touched the bottom of the wall, and several people were preparing to climb up the wall by ladder. The people behind were also tiptoeing close to the wall. They had just gathered more than 100 people under the wall, and suddenly the top of the wall became bright! Ten torches were lit almost at the same time, illuminating the wall up and down! All the people on the flat ground were exposed to the light.

At this time, of course, the leader of the team knew that he had been fooled, and his heart was already frightened! He just wanted to warn people to withdraw, but three cannons were launched on the wall!

The artillery had long been loaded, and the fuse had been cut to the shortest. Just as the cannon was being pushed out, the fuse was already lit! This was followed by "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Three cannon shots! Not only that, but after the artillery was pulled back, a large number of musketeers appeared behind the battlements and raised their muskets to shoot at the dense crowd under the wall! There is no gap in the middle at all!

After the artillery fire, the highly trained gunners fired three rounds in just a few seconds! Seventy or eighty people were shot to the ground on the flat ground on the right side of the entire cottage! For a while, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the screams were repeated! The rest of the people didn't wait for the leader to shout to retreat, and they had already fled back the way they came!
