The artillery fire sounded like thunder in the port of Qingtan Island through the torrential rain, and more than a dozen iron balls streaked through the air with white smoke, hitting the houses on Qingtan Island and making a roar.

Bai Lao Er is the big boss of Qingtan Island, and he was originally a maritime merchant in Fujian. When his business failed, he was ruthless, and found a few ruthless people who dared to work hard to go to sea together to become pirates.

Since becoming a pirate, Bai Lao Er has been smooth sailing. Especially after taking refuge under Zhang Hu, who is also from Fujian, life is more nourishing.

Now he doesn't need to rob, as long as he stays on Qingtan Island, someone will naturally send the silver to the door obediently.

Especially when he encounters a storm, it is the time when he makes a windfall. In this area, he can hide from the wind and waves on Qingtan Island, as long as he doesn't want to die in the sea to feed Wang Ba, the maritime merchants have to come to his Qingtan Island to hide.

This is like Aries obediently sending himself into the wolf's den, but Bai Lao Er still has a sense of proportion, and he didn't kill them all.

As long as you take the initiative to offer half of the goods, you can leave by yourself after the wind and waves have stopped. And he also kindly provided fresh water supplies to the maritime merchants docked on Qingtan Island, so that the maritime merchants who suffered losses did not have much resentment against Bai Lao Er.

Today is a rare storm, and Bai Lao Er opened the gate of the village early. On this day, he fully accepted seventeen sea ships into the port, and looking at the goods taken down from the sea ships, Bai Lao Er felt beautiful.

He also asked for an orchid from a maritime merchant, and he hugged the orchid one night to talk about his life ideals.

He was just about to get into his hands when he heard the sound of cannon coming from the direction of the docks. The rain was a bit heavy, and he couldn't hear it clearly. But I always felt that something was wrong.

That's the time! A shell hit his house, no way! On the island, the goal of Bai Lao's house is large and conspicuous.

The house he was in was smashed by a 9-pounder cannon at once, and Bai Lao Er reacted quickly and was not buried alive in it. But his naked body was bloodied by the collapse of the house, and when he ran out of the house, he saw a ship in the harbor spitting tongues of fire at him in the torrential rain.

Bai Lao's heart suddenly "Oh! "Suddenly, he knew that due to the structural limitations of the Daming Sea Ship, the Daming Sea Ship could install a small number of guns on the deck.

Gunpowder could not be fired when it was soaked in water and damp, so the only ones that could still bombard his Qingtan Island fiercely in the torrential rain were the large plywood boats of the Xiyi people.

But why did Xiyi's big splint ship attack its own Qingtan Island? In the past, there were also Xiyi people who came here to hide from the wind and waves, and when did the Xiyi people come to find a place to stop the boat and rest, they never attacked Qingtan Island at all?

Could it be that the Xiyi people have taken a fancy to this place?

Bai Lao Er continued to hit the cannonballs, and his Qingtan Island was in a mess. Reaching out and grabbing a running pirate, he roared, "Blackhead! You go to the dock to see what the Xiyi people are crazy about, why are they shelling Lao Tzu's Qingtan Island? ”

The black head said yes and ran down to the port, and before he could run a pillar of incense, he ran back again.

Bai Lao Er kicked the black head to the ground with one kick, and shouted angrily: "Let your son go to the dock to see, what are you doing when you come back?" ”

The black head didn't care about anything else, and screamed in surprise: "Run, big boss!" A group of people came up on the docks, and they killed them when they called them, and most of our brothers had already died at their hands. ”

"Fart! Who in Qingtan Island doesn't know that I, Bai Lao Er, is a member of the Shark Gang, and there are still people who dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? Before Bai Lao Er was finished, he saw a group of soldiers with iron helmets on their heads, masks on their faces, cuirass on their faces, shields on their backs, and spears on their backs.

Although the expressions of these soldiers could not be seen, it could be seen from their movements that this group of people was indifferent to life and death. When they see someone who does not belong to them, they will stab them with one shot, and those who are not dead will be shot again.

Bai Lao Er saw one of his own walking down and wanted to fight back with a knife, this pirate slashed over, and the soldiers of the other people did not dodge at all, and stabbed back with a shot.

Frightened, the pirate quickly withdrew his sword and parried, but within a few blows, the soldier was stabbed in the chest and fell to the ground.

Bai Lao Er was so frightened by this group of soldiers that he couldn't care about being reserved anymore and turned around and ran. Listening to the screams coming from behind him, Bai Laoer's soul was about to fly out.

Where did these soldiers come from? This is a question in Bai Laoer's heart. The three caves of the cunning rabbit are the principle of life of Bai Lao Er, and he quickly ran towards the cave on the island.

It was where he kept his belongings, and dozens of pirates were stationed there all year round. As long as he gets there and guards the danger, he may be able to wait until the moment when Zhang Hu comes to rescue him.

By the time he reached the treasure cave, there were hundreds of pirates there. Everyone was embarrassed, some lost their shoes, some didn't wear a shirt, and some only wore a pair of obscene pants.

It's the worst thing for Bai Lao Er to be naked, but fortunately, he is the big boss here, and he has become well-dressed again.

Bai Lao Er looked at the pirates in front of him and said, "Who of you knows where the soldiers below came from?" Why are you attacking our Qingtan Island? ”

A bunch of pirates, you look at me, I look at you, all with bewildered expressions.

Zhang Dou stopped after shelling Qingtan Island for five rounds, and there was no place to rest on Qingtan Island if he continued to fight.

The thousand-strong Changxing army slaughtered Qingtan Island, and the battle here was basically over. The well-trained and well-equipped Changxing army was a one-sided slaughter against the scattered pirates, and the battle on the island was basically over in just one hour.

Those maritime merchants who were forced to hide here were too frightened to show their heads, and they all stayed where they were, for fear of causing misunderstanding among the Changxing army.

By dawn, although the rain was still falling, there was already a lot of wind. Sea ships were already able to sail in such weather, but those that sheltered from the wind and waves did not dare to move. They sent three representatives to meet the leader of this mysterious army aboard the Yuxiu, where they met with Allen.

Right! For the sake of the secrecy of this operation, all operations were carried out in the name of Allen. After paying a conservation fee of 300 taels of silver per boat, they were all allowed to go.

And the last stronghold on the island, the Changxing Army, has not yet been taken, not because of how strong the pirates are, but because the location they chose is too dangerous.

There was only one winding road leading to the Treasure Cave, and the pirates placed two cannons at the mouth of the Treasure Cave. Xu Lianshan's 100-man captain Xingjun attacked twice but failed, and was wounded by 3 soldiers.

Xu Lianshan saw that the terrain was dangerous, and it was difficult to suppress the pirates in the cave without artillery fire, so he ordered to besiege the pirates and wait for the rain to stop before attacking.

Bai Lao Er survived a day and two nights in the treasure cave with difficulty, and he knew that the time had come to decide his fate.

The sky was covered with a red sun, and the first rays of sunlight after the rain shone on the earth. The originally gloomy sky was suddenly full of color, and Qingtan Island seemed to come to life all of a sudden.

Looking at the busy soldiers at the foot of the mountain, Bai Lao Er stood at the entrance of the cave and looked into the distance with blank eyes. There were reinforcements there, but he couldn't wait.

As soon as the storm began, he sent people to ask for help, according to his estimation, Zhang Hu's rescue would not come until the third day at the earliest, and now it was only the second day, it seemed that he couldn't wait for reinforcements.

Xu Lianshan stood under the treasure cave and commanded the soldiers to push the 3-pounder cannon under the cave. As the gunner operated, a roaring cannonball whizzed and smashed against the rock next to the cave.

The broken rubble injured several pirates in the cave, and Xu Lianshan secretly screamed. Akito was about to shoot the next shot, but at this time he raised a white flag from the cave. A pirate came out of it, shouting as he went, "We have surrendered!" Don't fire any more! Surrendered! ”
