Just when Casnar was surprised, the two clippers actually separated left and right. One of the clippers turned around and sailed, and the other followed three miles away from them.

The U-turn clipper raised its sails on two semi-circular sides, and the already high-speed clipper sailed through the waves as if it had been whipped by a whip, and disappeared into the sky in a short time.

"That boat just left?" Casnar asked the first mate uncertainly.

The first mate hesitated and said, "Yes, Your Excellency! I think so. ”

The boat had just left so fast that it almost blinded Kasnall's eyes. He stared at the other clipper and ordered, "Expel this boat immediately, they may be the sentinel ship of Chicken Coop Harbor!" ”

The order was given to the entire fleet, and immediately two battleships of less than three hundred tons approached the clipper. Their gun windows were open, and they kept shelling at the clipper.

Seeing that a warship had driven him out, the clipper turned lightly at sea and sailed off into the distance. At a distance of more than three miles, the shells simply have no accuracy at all.

All the shells fired by the Ganlas fell into the sea, and they pursued for a while to return to the fleet. To Casnar's dismay, the clipper returned, continuing to follow the fleet.

By this point, Kasnar was already sure that this was the enemy's sentinel ship in Chicken Coop Harbor, and the other one must have gone back to inform Chicken Coop Harbor to get ready.

His attempt to sneak attack on Chicken Coop Harbor failed before it began, and now there is only one way left to attack.

After sending warships to no avail again, Kasnar resigned to his fate. The Clipper was sailing just three miles from them, and in the face of such a fast and nimble opponent, Casnar had no temper at all.

When he led the fleet to Joncoop Harbor, the clipper did not reappear, and it disappeared at some point.

The first time Kasnar came to Chicken Coop Harbor, when he saw Xintaicheng on Sheliao Island, he was a big head.

If you want to capture Chicken Coop Harbor, you must take Sheliao Island. Otherwise, the island's artillery could easily cover Joncoop Bay, and any ships that entered would be wiped out.

At this moment, he couldn't help but curse the commander of San Salvador City for being wasted, how could such a strong city be easily taken by the enemy?

Despite his desperation, Kasnar gave the order to attack. The destruction of Xintaicheng became the first priority, and he commanded four of the strongest warships to slowly approach Sheliao Island and carry out a tentative artillery bombardment of Xintaicheng on the island.

The Changxing army in Jilong Harbor received a report and was ready to learn that the eleven warships of the Ganlasi people were heading for Jilong Harbor.

The captured captives were immediately shackled and put in the barracks, and the natives and Han Chinese who had defected to the Changxing army were issued weapons to guard the prisoners.

The Changxing army immediately shrank its forces and entered Xintai City, as long as it held here, it could ensure that Jilong Port was foolproof.

There are only five warships in Jilong Harbor, and the remaining warships all go to Tamsui City to support and deliver supplies there, and at the same time to participate in the encirclement and suppression of a large surrounding tribe.

The tribe of 1,000 people had taken the dry dock under construction in Freshwater City on their own the other day, killing three captives who were logging wood. Shot and wounded a shipyard craftsman who was directing the prisoners, and burned the slipway that had just begun to be laid.

Wu Shuang attached great importance to this attack and personally led the team to go deep into the jungle to investigate. Eventually, the tribe's garrison was discovered fifty miles away from Tamsui City, and if the Changxing army wanted to gain a foothold in Tamsui City, this first battle had to be won beautifully.

Total annihilation has become a necessary choice, if you want to completely annihilate a large tribe of more than 1,000 people in the jungle, it is far from enough to rely on Wu Shuang's men and horses.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong sent his younger brother to support Wu Shuang's battle, and also sent all the armed merchant ships and large fortune ships to the Ryukyus.

There are Japanese and Koreans who have adapted to the environment of the island, and they will be the first developers of Taiyuan Island.

As long as the Japanese and Koreans who come to Taiyuan Island voluntarily, they will automatically become the people of Changsheng Island and enjoy the same treatment as the Han people.

Not only can you get a free share of the fields, but you can also participate in the Changxing Army. Obtaining a tax-free meritorious field is a great temptation for the bitter Koreans and Japanese people. Many people have already signed up to participate in the first batch of immigrants, while many more are waiting for the news of the first batch of immigrants to bring back.

This makes it much less for both Chicken Coop Harbor and Tamsui City, and there are only two killer whale warships and three Sea Shark warships in Chicken Coop Harbor.

And Tamsui City only has two killer whale warships, and ten Flying Fish clippers have stayed in Chicken Coop Harbor.

With the presence of the Exocet Clipper, the Changxing Army can expand the scope of its vigilance a lot to avoid a sneak attack by the Ganlas.

The main reason why Zheng Zhilong dared to divide more than half of the warships was that the new Taiwan City on Sheliao Island had already been built. It was already possible to protect the safety of Jilong Harbor, and in addition to the original firepower, four 18-pounder shore guns were added to Xintaicheng.

These four cannons were made in authentic Jeju Island and were loaded on the ship and shipped with the ship. Their barrels are extraordinarily long, and the speed at which their guns are discharged is also faster, as long as they hit a battleship, they are no less powerful than the early sun cannons.

Although Tamsui City has no turrets, two killer whale warships are enough to block any ship that wants to swim against the current. In addition, Wu Shuang also prepared a big gift for the Ganlasi people, as long as they dare to come, it will definitely make the Ganlasi people feel painful.

The Changxing army in Xintaicheng was all in a state of preparation, and the gunners on the gun position were even more gearing up to do a big job.

Although Xing Shenyan was born as a civil official, he had also seen the ferocity of Jiannu outside the Guan. Although I was not worried about the defense of Sliao Island, it was not to the point of being afraid of the Ganlasi people.

"Old Sun! The Ganlas are here, don't be soft. I hit the enemy ship, and I invite you to drink! Xing Shenyan said to Lao Sun, who was using cannon gauges and cannon rulers.

Lao Sun was originally a marksman on a naval battleship, and it was a bit overkill to be arranged to operate shore artillery on Sheliao Island.

Immediately patted his chest and said: "Your Excellency Governor can talk about it, but you can't just invite my grandson." We have to ask for more than 20 brothers in this group, otherwise I can't push this big guy if they don't help! ”

The weight of the 18-pounder long-barreled shore gun was almost double that of the naval gun, reaching nearly 7,000 catties. There are as many as 25 operating artillery crews, and a large number of manpower is required for each reset of the cannon.

Xing Shenyan said with a smile: "Okay! Deal! As long as the enemy ship is hit and the attack of the Ganlas is repulsed, this officer will not only ask you for credit, but also invite all the meritorious personnel to drink! ”

"Thank you, Governor!"

……

Kasnar didn't rush to let all the warships approach Sheliao Island, he wanted to test the firepower of Xintaicheng first.

The four warships slowly approached Sheliao Island, crossed the hull in the sea, and aimed their sidestring guns at Xintaicheng on the island.
