"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, a dull gunshot rang out in the distance.

Gunshots came from the southwest, in the direction of Tiger Beach.

Zhang Zhun's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You go back first, I have something!" ”

With that, he hurried to the southwest.

Shen Lingfei looked at him suspiciously, a little unclear.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, another gunshot rang out.

Shen Lingfei finally heard a little taste this time.

It was like the sound of a firecracker.

Could it be that something has changed?

Yes, something has happened!

When Zhang Zhun heard the gunshots, he was keenly aware that danger was approaching.

Although the escort and navy were on holiday for two days, and most of the soldiers could go home to reunite with their loved ones, the number of sentries arranged by Zhang Zhun was more than double that of the previous days. Especially on the seaside, almost every three miles or so, there is a sentry post, closely monitoring the movement on the sea.

The geographical location of Fushan City determines that it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to sneak attack from land. A Baisha River is an insurmountable obstacle for the enemy. Therefore, sudden danger can only come from the sea. In order to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival safely, Zhang Zhun arranged many open posts and hidden posts on the shore. If danger is detected, fire a warning gun immediately.

The two gunshots just now came from the location of Tiger Beach. Zhang Zhun quickly rushed to Tiger Beach and found that there was a person who was a little faster than him. This person is Dugu Hunting. Because Dugu Hunt is alone, he doesn't have any relatives on the side of Fushan, so he stays in the barracks. In the escort team, there were twenty or thirty helpless people like him. They gathered together for the feast, and they were happy. At the same time, they are also the workhorses of combat duty. Hearing the gunshots, Dugu Hunt relied on his extraordinary speed and rushed to the sentry post as soon as possible.

Behind Dugu Hunting, Wu Qingliang took a squad on duty, a total of fifty soldiers, and also arrived at a fairly fast speed. It was the latent post at Tiger Beach that fired the warning shot. Zhang Zhun came to the sentry's side and quickly figured out the situation.

There are pirates on the seas again!

Following the sentry's hand and looking out, Zhang Zhun saw a pirate ship, anchored in the sea about three or four miles from the coast. Because of the distance, it is impossible to tell which kind of pirate it is. The only thing that is certain is that the pirates are definitely bad people. At the same time, the target of the pirates must be Fushansuo.

"Well done!"

Zhang Zhun praised the sentry a few words.

Judging from the location where the pirate ship docked, it should be from out of town, and it is not clear that the existence of the two ports of Partridge Bay and Black Dragon Bay is not clear. According to Zhang Zhun's visual measurements, the volume of the pirate ship is quite large, so it is impossible for it to dock directly. If the pirates wanted to land, they had to change to small sampans. Changing sampans and landing close to the shore took a while for the convoy to react.

According to the previous order, as soon as the guns rang out, Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong and others would quickly gather their troops, and the other soldiers would also return to the barracks in the shortest possible time. This process takes about half an hour. In less than half an hour, Zhang Zhun is confident that he can win it. There are dozens of tiger guns waiting for the pirates, and the pirates can quickly get ashore.

Zhang Zhun ordered Wu Qingliang to command the soldiers to disperse and expand the range as much as possible. At the same time, this is also to create the illusion that there are many sincere benevolences. In the chaos of gunfire, the pirates may not be able to tell how many defenders there are. As long as they hesitate a little, the main force of the escort can quickly arrive.

"If a pirate tries to land, they can shoot as long as they are within range."

Zhang Zhun gave an unmistakable command.

"Understood!"

Wu Qingliang agreed.

His squad is in charge of combat duty, which was originally quite boring, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Just to pass the time. Well, since they wiped out more than 200 Tartars, the soldiers of the convoy really don't take pirates very seriously. Pirates are so powerful, they're not as powerful as Tartars, aren't they? Therefore, everyone is full of confidence for the upcoming battle.

"My lord, we're here!"

"Request a combat mission!"

Soon, Zhang Youcai also arrived with his own team.

Zhang Youcai is the one who replaced the unfortunate sacrifice of Yang Junzhuo as the team leader, and is also one of the two teams on duty, but the warning direction of their duty is the location of Jimo County. Therefore, they arrived at Tiger Beach a little later.

Zhang Zhun nodded, and ordered Zhang Youcai's team to also spread along the river beach. As long as the pirate is within range of the Tiger Gun, he can shoot it. There were two squads watching the pirates on the shore, and Zhang Zhun's heart was basically put down.

After appointing Wu Qingliang as the front-line commander, Zhang Zhun returned to Yangjiatun. He needs to issue orders through the Shengxia Sect to stabilize people's hearts. Today was supposed to be a festival, and I wanted to give the villagers a festive atmosphere. If you are disrupted by these pirates, you will not achieve your goal. Of course, if the strength of the pirates is very strong, and the Fushan wants all the people to be soldiers, Zhang Zhun will not have the slightest hesitation. However, there is only one pirate ship, and there should be no need for all of them to be soldiers.

Yang Kaide was waiting for him at the door. He also heard the news from the shore and guessed that something might have happened. The old man Chen Guoxi soon came over, and the old man also heard the gunshots. Also hearing the gunshots, there were many military households in Yangjiatun, all of whom stood outside their doors, looking at Zhang Zhun curiously, wanting to know what was going on. Yang Kaide asked with concern: "Yulin, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "It seems that someone is preparing to let us have an unpleasant Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Anyway, I'm going to talk about a pirate ship approaching.

Chen Guoxi couldn't help but scold: "These damn pirates are really unpleasant!" ”

Yang Kaide said: "Yulin, do you need us to do anything? ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "Tell everyone the actual situation, let everyone not panic, and don't go to Yangjiatun to see the excitement." The convoy can handle things here. For the sake of safety, Yangjiatun's fathers and fellow villagers can leave for a while. Of course, it's okay to stay here. However, you can't run around and spread rumors. When necessary, Sheng Xia Zong must come forward to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters. ”

He then made a clear request that the members of the Shengxia Sect should work hard to stabilize the mood of the villagers. In particular, don't spread rumors. If someone is found spreading rumors, it is necessary to stop them in time, and even take necessary control measures. Pirates, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the Guardian has not eliminated pirates. Even the Tartars are no match for the convoy, and are they afraid of the little pirates? Therefore, apart from the armed personnel involved, everyone else should do what they should do.

Yang Kaide and Chen Guoxi both agreed to go.

Soon, the various members of the Shengxia Sect quickly took action. The organizational system of the Shengxia Sect is definitely strict and efficient. With their efforts, everything in Fushan City seems to be quite calm. As Zhang Zhun said, what to do or what to do. As for the rumors, they did not appear from beginning to end.

Only those fighters, who were in a state of rest, were quickly called back to the barracks. Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong, Yang Zixuan and other officers all returned to the barracks and organized the troops as soon as possible. I heard that it was a pirate coming, and many warriors hated it. It's really hateful that there are pirates who come to make trouble. Although it is not known who those pirate ships belong to for the time being, everyone already hates them.

"Hurry up!"

"Don't rub it off!"

"Bring enough ammo!"

Yang Zhiyuan roared loudly, reminding the soldiers of the relevant precautions.

Soon, all the fighters of the escort team were ready and arrived at Tiger Beach in full gear. In total, there were nine squads of fighters, all in place, and not a single one was absent. The guerrillas and the armed forces are also ready for battle and are ready to provide combat support at any time. The assembly of the detachment of sailors will take a little longer. Because, the Partridge Bay Navy Base is still a little far away from Fushan City.

At this time, the pirate was changing sampans, and the movement was not very fast. The pirates probably didn't care much about Fushansuo, and judging from their movements, it didn't look like a fierce battle was going to take place. Even, it can be vaguely seen that the gun window of the pirate ship is not fully opened.

Shen Lingfei, Xue Zhidie and others stood far behind Tiger Beach, looking at the sea in the south with some concern. The place where they stood was quite far from the beach, and there was nothing dangerous. was originally a little nervous, but as the soldiers of the escort team all entered the combat post, they gradually quieted down.

Xue Zhidie looked at the somewhat vague sea, and said in a deep voice: "Fei Fei, you came from Jiangnan, did you meet them?" Are they Liu Xiang's people? ”

Shen Lingfei shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." When I was at sea, I didn't meet them either. In June this year, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang fought a battle, and the battle was quite tragic. Liu Xiang's losses were very large, at least a dozen gunboats were destroyed, and he could no longer fight, and had been driven to the Guangdong side. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be Liu Xiang's person! ”

Xue Zhidie's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some worry: "Since it's not Liu Xiang, is it Zheng Zhilong's person?" On the coast of Shandong, there don't seem to be any other pirates. ”

At this time, Sisi hurried over and handed Shen Lingfei a clairvoyant mirror. It turned out that Shen Lingfei arrived with the clairvoyant mirror, but he only put it in the inn, and Sisi only took it now. Shen Lingfei raised the long clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed the movements on the sea. Suddenly, Shen Lingfei's face changed slightly, as if she had discovered something.

Xue Zhidie also frowned, and said with some shock: "Won't it?" Is it really Zheng Zhilong's subordinate? Look at my crow's beak ......"

If it was really Zheng Zhilong's subordinate, then Zhang Zhun was really in trouble. Zheng Zhilong was the largest pirate leader in the late Ming Dynasty, with hundreds of high-grade gunboats and more than 10,000 armed sailors. If he wants to do something to Fushan, Zhang Zhun's pressure must be very great. One of the most fatal places is that Zhang Zhun only has two small caliber Franc machine artillery, and it is not enough to see it when it comes to real fighting. The lethality of the Tiger Ben is good, but compared to the cannon, it is not a grade at all!

Fortunately, Shen Lingfei said a little nervously: "It's not Zheng Zhilong, it's Yang Tiansheng!" ”

Xue Zhidie breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the names of Yang Tiansheng and Yan Siqi often accompany Zheng Zhilong, the strength of the two is much worse than Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong is actually a very domineering person, and he will never allow others to threaten his position. Under the pressure of Zheng Zhilong, the two could only barely survive. Even, if calculated separately, the strength of the two is not as good as Liu Xiang. The most powerful three-masted gunboats, both of them only have a few, but Zheng Zhilong has more than a dozen.

Just as Zhang Zhun was passing by not far in front, Shen Lingfei took two quick steps and explained the situation to Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?" ”

Shen Lingfei said affirmatively: "You believe me, I am not mistaken, it is indeed Yang Tiansheng's person!" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you!" ”

Turn away.

Shen Lingfei suddenly said, "Zhang Zhun, you wait." ”

Zhang Zhun stopped.

Shen Lingfei handed him his clairvoyant mirror and said casually: "This clairvoyant mirror, give it to you." ”

Zhang Zhun took it unceremoniously.

Because he didn't have a familiar telescope, Zhang Zhun was really a little unaccustomed to commanding battles. The commander of later generations, which one did not have a telescope? With the naked eye alone, it is simply impossible to explore the entire battlefield. This clairvoyant, despite being monocular, is quite effective, and should look almost four times as good. Looking through the clairvoyant mirror, the details of the pirate ship are much clearer.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhun turned around and said, "By the way, do you Shen family know how to make clairvoyant mirrors?" ”

Shen Lingfei said slowly: "Of course I understand." After the Westerners brought the clairvoyant mirror to Nanyang, our Shen family got it, and after only half a year of research, we were able to imitate it. The quality is better than what Westerners do. However, we have to collect money, every ......."

Zhang Zhun turned around and left.

Shen Lingfei had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, stingy ghost, when I ask you for money, it's like cutting your flesh." A box of glass, I give a clairvoyant mirror for nothing, okay? ”

Zhang Zhun said: "That's not bad. ”

Shen Lingfei had a bitter face and walked back in a daze.

Yang Yinghan said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Lingfei said sourly: "Your man is more slamming the door than me, and everything will be given away for free!" I'm making less and less money in this business. ”

Xue Zhidie scoffed.

Even Yang Yinghan smiled helplessly.

A female businessman is a female businessman, and if she loses a penny of silver, she is heartbroken like something.
