Xu Long is more than half a hundred years old, has a violent and fierce personality, has been rampant in the sea of Chaozhou for decades, has hundreds of warships, ships are strong and artillery, and more than 3,000 pirates under his command are all outlaws who kill people without blinking, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

It is with these capitals that Xu Long was able to run rampant along the coast of Guangdong, and his power lasted for a long time. According to the reports of his subordinates, the sailors sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress him have just been in the army for a few months, and half of them are recruits, even the commander Gao Lixun is also an unknown person in his eyes, and he does not pay attention to this encirclement and suppression of the imperial court soldiers and horses at all, and is very confident that they are absolutely vulnerable.

"Hehe, as expected, how capable is a sailor who has just been in the army for a few months?" Xu Long stood on the high shipbuilding, put down the monocular binoculars in his hand, and said to the pirate leaders around him proudly: "Look at the formation of the officers and soldiers, it is chaotic and disorderly, and the handsome ship is sailing at the front, which is really looking for death." When the two armies meet, you will give Lao Tzu all the strength to attack the handsome ship of the official army, no matter what the price is, you will sink the handsome ship of Gao Lixun, an unknown junior! ”

The pirates agreed. Xu Long laughed and said wildly: "Yongli Xiaoer doesn't know the height of the sky, he dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, when Lao Tzu is begging for a living at sea, this guy doesn't know where to wait for someone to plant in the crotch of his pants." This time, Lao Tzu will definitely ask his sailor to come back and go to the bottom of the sea to see the Dragon King! ”

Gao Lixun had already learned the details of Xu Long from the mouths of Jiao Lian and Huang Hairu, and knew that he was not easy to deal with, so he did not dare to be arrogant, and decided to use the strategy of "diverting the tiger from the mountain" to lure Xu Long and his main fleet away from the old nest, and then Jiao Lian's land division waited for the opportunity to attack the island, draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, work together to encircle and annihilate his lair, and wipe out this pirate who has dominated the sea for decades in one fell swoop.

In order to achieve the goal of "capturing the thief and capturing the king", Gao Lixun "pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger", deliberately pretending to be a fledgling, regardless of the opposition of the generals, sailing at the front of the team on a handsome boat, taking a huge risk to lure Xu Long into the bait.

At this time, Xu Long's fleet had changed from a fan shape to a wedge-shape, aiming at the handsome ship that Gao Lixun was riding, and rushed straight forward. Gao Lixun knew that whether the plan to "divert the tiger from the mountain" would succeed depended on his own performance, so he ordered the cannon to be fired when the enemy ship was far from within the range of the artillery, and seemed to have been frightened by the fierce enemy fleet.

The whistling cannonballs fell into the sea from a long distance through the enemy ship, and the water column soared into the sky, although the momentum was loud, but it did not damage Xu Long's hair.

"Straw bales, standard an incompetent!"

Xu Long really hit the plan, scolded contemptuously in his mouth, and ordered the fleet to attack at full speed. The enemy fleet was ordered to pull up the full sails, fearlessly crossing the sky-high water columns, gradually approaching Gao Lixun's handsome ship, and firing artillery attacks.

"Turn the rudder, back off!"

Gao Lixun deliberately shouted and gave orders with a loud voice. The officers and men on board were well prepared, immediately adjusted the angle of the sails, turned the rudder direction, and the handsome ship avoided the enemy guns at the last moment, turned around and retreated. The other ships also dispersed according to the plan, following the handsome ship to "escape".

"Flee without a fight? Don't! ”

Xu Long was ferocious, roaring and ordering the boat to pursue at full speed. Under Xu Long's repeated urging, the pirates on his ship rowed with all their might, and the boat was like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, speeding past the pirate fleet and chasing after Gao Lixun's handsome ship.

The sailors on both ships have lived at sea for many years, and they are as skilled as herdsmen on the steppe riding fierce horses, one after the other, and the distance is always out of the range of artillery, which provokes Xu Long to grit his teeth and curse the eighteenth generation of Gao Lixun's ancestors in his mouth, but to no avail.

Unconsciously, Xu Long's fleet had been lured away from the nest by Gao Lixun, and it was scattered, and there was a mile between the front and back. Gao Lixun estimated that the ambushed sailors had enough time to cut off the retreat of Xu Long's fleet, so he ordered the order flag to turn around and attack.

Gao Lixun's subordinate generals couldn't get used to Xu Long's rampant arrogance, if it weren't for Gao Lixun's strict legal army, the order was forbidden, Huang Ting and other generals would have launched an attack, at this time, seeing the attack of the order flag, they turned the bow of the ship one after another, and outflanked Xu Long's ship, and Xu Long, who was alone in the depths, suddenly fell into the siege of the official army.

Only then did Xu Long realize that Gao Lixun was not an incompetent person as he thought, and he was too far away from the team because of the light enemy, so he hurriedly ordered the rudder to retreat, but it was too late.

In accordance with the battle plan that had been set down long ago, the officers and soldiers hoisted hundreds of net shuttle boats from large warships, and under the cover of the main gunboats, they quickly approached Xu Long's ship. Each shuttle boat was equipped with two or three bird guns, and hundreds of bird guns were aimed at the pirate salvo on the dragon ship, and the lethality was amazing.

Huang Ting, the left vanguard, and Li Cheng, the right vanguard, led the Cangshan fleet to outflank the enemy ships from the left and right. Cangshan boat: small, with a draft of 5 feet, equipped with 1 small-caliber Franc cannon, 4 tiger squat guns, 4 Lumi guns, 40 spray canisters, 60 chimneys, 30 fire bricks, 100 rockets, 4 medicine crossbows, and 100 crossbow arrows. There were 37 people on board, 4 sailors, 33 soldiers, and a third class. The first armor is a franc machine and a tiger squat cannon, the second armor is a cold weapon, and the third armor is a bird gun.

The Cangshan ship got close to the enemy ship, threw fire bricks, chimneys, and shot guns and arrows, and Xu Long's ship suddenly burst into flames, and the surviving pirates fled from the ship and jumped into the icy water. Xu Long has been spanning half his life, killing countless people, and at this time he deserved his final crime, and was shot into the left chest by the deputy general Huang Ting, fell into the fire, and his bones were gone.

The pirate fleet that rushed to the rescue saw that the thief was dead, except for a few pirates on the sea ship who wanted to avenge Xu Long, desperately rushed to Huang Ting and Li Cheng's fleet, and fought to the death with the officers and soldiers, the other ships all turned around and tried to escape back to the lair, but they did not sail far before they were intercepted and surrounded by the ambushed sailor fleet led by the deputy general Liang Li.

In order to completely annihilate Xu Long's pirate fleet, Gao Lixun dispatched all the sailors and warships, aiming to win. At this time, under the unified command of Gao Lixun, hundreds of warships, large and small, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and the balance of victory quickly tilted to the side of the officers and soldiers. After more than an hour, the pirate fleet descended or sank, and the entire army was wiped out.

Since the exact location of Xu Long's lair had been explored in advance, after Xu Long's main force was exhausted, Jiao Lian's department also took a troop transport ship and cooperated very well to board the pirate's den from the relatively hidden Bowan.

The pirates on Dahao Island, never expected that the land division of the official army would come to encircle and suppress at this time, the boss and the imperial court sailors competed for life and death at sea, and the morale was at its lowest, most of the leaders followed Xu Long to the sea, and there was no one to command in the water village. Those who were beaten by the armed forces of the imperial camp with sharp firearms threw away their armor and fled in all directions.
