If it is said that before He Ding retreated, the Portuguese could still encourage the maintenance of the situation of attacking the Banten City coalition army, even if they could not quickly break through Banten City, but to be honest, as long as they think of a way, in fact, the chance of breaking through Banten City is still very large.

But He Ding's retreat completely shattered their hopes of breaking through Banten City.

Not only was there no hope of breaking through the city, but even retreating became a problem, because when He Ding left, he not only snatched three ships, but also burned most of the remaining ships.

When there was a fire in the port in the middle of the night, many people realized that something was wrong, especially those pirates, who didn't care about breaking through Banten City, many people ran directly to the port, and then got on the remaining few intact ships and left, as for the rest of the people to live or die, their mentality is similar to He Ding, it's their business!

In just one night, the coalition of pirates and natives besieging Banten City collapsed completely.

This collapse is not a military collapse, but an organizational collapse!

The rest of the pirates went crazy looking for ships, while the natives were wondering how to get out of this place, it didn't matter if there were no ships, they could still go into the mountains and forests and walk home.

At this time, everyone knows that this battle cannot be fought, and saving one's own life is the king, as for the life and death of allies...... Who's an ally to them!

The indigenous and pirate coalition forces outside the city were completely split overnight, which was not expected by the Tang defenders in the city.

They originally thought that after the first wave of attacks yesterday morning, they would launch a general attack yesterday afternoon, but yesterday afternoon they did not wait, so they were suspicious, afraid that they would carry out some night attack, or some kind of conspiracy to carry out explosions, dig tunnels, etc.

So much so that last night, Yang Hong and other officers in the city were quite nervous, and frequently inspected the city to check the situation, so that the soldiers on duty at night opened their eyes wide to avoid any accidents.

But what they didn't expect was that in the middle of the night last night, a sudden fire came from the direction of the harbor, and although they were separated by a distance, they could still see that the enemy ships anchored in the harbor had caught fire.

However, because it was night, they could not see much, but they knew that there was a fire, and they did not know that He Ding was the first to retreat, snatching the three ships of the other pirates, and then setting fire to the other ships, which shocked the jaws of the other pirates and natives, and attracted countless curses!

Yang Hong: They thought it was an accident that caused the fire on the enemy ship.

However, after dawn, Yang Hong found that the port was in a mess, and there were no more intact enemy ships left, and the only few intact ships were also setting sail, and while setting sail, they were also firing at a part of the crowd on the shore.

At the same time, a group of people on the shore also controlled the artillery and opened fire on the departing ships!

It looks like an internal firefight!

At the same time, there were many more people crowded on the docks, as if they had tried to get on the boat without success.

What's going on here?

Yang Hong can't figure it out!

Not to mention that Yang Hong can't figure it out, even the Portuguese who are in the middle of the contact, and even those pirates and natives are also unclear, because last night, their actions were all separated, each with a ghost, when He Ding ran away with people, the people and horses of all parties were basically chaotic, and even when the dawn was fighting for the remaining few intact ships, these people also had a large-scale firefight.

After the last intact ship also leaves the port, there are basically no intact ships in the port, at most there are only some small sampans and other ships left, but if you want to take these ships for a long voyage, then basically there is no difference from looking for death, and more importantly, these small boats seem to be a lot of people, but the small ships can't carry many people.

However, at this time, there were at least nearly 20,000 natives and pirates on the land......

He Ding, who was the first to retreat, was actually not many in number, and the total strength was only a thousand people, and the other part of the pirates who fled with He Ding were actually only a few hundred at most.

Most of them stayed here!

However, none of these remaining people are in the mood to besiege Banten City, and now they are all thinking about how to get out of this ghost place.

Seeing these natives and pirates outside the city evacuate from the city one after another, Yang Hong was undoubtedly surprised, these enemies really made him unable to understand, Yang Hong naturally didn't know that this group of people was not a group, but was divided into seven groups, no one refused to suffer, everyone wanted to pick up the cheap, this is why yesterday's controversy appeared!

After the argument, He Ding suddenly led the Fourth Fleet to play a game of black and black, which was to completely bring the coalition force that the Portuguese had managed to get out with great difficulty to collapse.

At this time, if those Portuguese were given a regret pill, they would definitely not hesitate not to find He Ding's Fourth Fleet in the first place.

And to hang the person who proposed to find the Fourth Fleet in the first place!

The Fourth Fleet in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea has been notorious in recent years, not only robbing ordinary merchant ships, but also often doing things in the dark, and sometimes even going ashore to plunder, otherwise it would not be worthy of the notorious four words.

When He Ding was first found, there were many people who objected, saying that if he cooperated with the Fourth Fleet, it would be tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and if Banten City was not defeated at that time, he would be planted under the hands of the Fourth Fleet first, but at that time, many people said that although the reputation of the Fourth Fleet was a little stinky, the strength was really strong, and with the same strength, the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Fleet could be said to be the strongest among many pirates.

If the Fourth Fleet is involved, it can greatly increase the probability of breaking through Banten City!

As a result, everyone can be regarded as seeing that the Fourth Fleet is really awesome!

But this kind of was not used to attack Banten City, but aimed at their friendly forces, and now it's okay, the fourth fleet came to Banten City and shook around, directly grabbed three big ships and ran away, and burned many other medium and large ships.

The Fourth Fleet is fully loaded, but they themselves are miserable!

It is conceivable that after today, He Ding and his Fourth Fleet will rise to a higher level in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, but it is naturally not a good reputation, but the kind of notoriety that eats black and eats black.

The remaining natives and pirates were very hard, so naturally they didn't have the heart to besiege the city and attack Banten City, and they all began to retreat, and the Portuguese no longer demanded it when they saw this, and dozens of Portuguese people directly grabbed a small sampan, and they also ran away!

Although the small sampan is not good, if you run along the north coastline of Sumen Island, you will not die in the sea, and if you are lucky, it will not be a problem to return to Malacca.

Other pirates and natives, some of whom chose to take small boats or simply jump into the water with a plank in their hands, and then paddle to the other side of the Sunda Strait, which is the island of Suma.

Anyway, this place happens to be the narrowest part of the Sunda Strait, and the width of the strait is less than four kilometers, as long as you paddle hard, even if you hold a plank, you can run to the other side.

Although the other side of the strait is currently the actual control area of the Tang Banten Mansion, because of the arrival of the war, the soldiers and most of the people who stayed on the other side of the river have already withdrawn to Banten City, at most, there are only a few soldiers and ordinary people left, and now they are also hiding, so naturally they will not clash with the pirates.

The pirates' thoughts are very simple, since Banten City can't be defeated, is it possible to stay in Banten City and wait for death?

You must know that the fleet of the Tang Dynasty will come back at any time, and if you wait a few more days, I am afraid that you will not be able to run away if you want to.

Some of the pirates chose to cross the strait, then look for ships or simply continue westward, and then reach the eastern part of Suman Island, where some indigenous princes are controlled, or even Portuguese.

However, some pirates have chosen to retreat to the eastern part of Banten Island!

However, the retreat of these pirates is still different from those natives, the goal of these pirates is actually to find a certain port, and then grab a ship to leave this ghost place, and it is reasonable to plunder the finances in the process.

And those natives want to leave Banten City and then return to their respective territories to prepare for the follow-up against the further encirclement and suppression of the Tang army.

Originally, the lords of the Tang Dynasty and the Bazhang Kingdom on Banten Island were already in a state of war, and in the past few years, the Tang Dynasty royal divisions in Bandan City had taken the initiative to attack the surrounding natives, and they did not dare to say that they had destroyed countless countries, but at least they had destroyed several lords.

As for the small number of immigrants limited to the Tang Dynasty, most of the time, even if they defeat the armies of the surrounding indigenous lords, it is difficult to actually control these areas, and in the end, they can only take some loot and force them to sign a treaty.

The Tang Dynasty's Banten Province had only a small area under its actual control, both sides of the Sunda Strait and Bali, not because of a lack of military strength, but because of a lack of population, making it difficult to effectively control a vast area.

After all, there is one thing that must be emphasized in the policies of the Tang Dynasty in Nanyang and even India and other regions, that is, it does not mean that after directly annexing an indigenous country, these natives will be regarded as subjects of the empire.

The identity of the subjects of the empire is noble, those natives are vanquished, and they are also uncivilized barbarians, and the imperial officials are stupid, it is impossible for them to obtain the status of the subjects of the empire!
