The fleet departed in the morning and arrived at the sea area of Sijiao Mountain at noon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info blue sky and white day, Nuoda's fleet is driving on the sea, and it is impossible to hide at all, and there are already fishing boats that quickly spread the news to Gu Rong's water village in Sijiao Mountain.

Gu Rong was born as a fisherman in Sijiao Mountain, and when he was young, he was impoverished, and like most fishermen's predecessors, he embarked on the road of piracy. Gu Rong himself was a man from all over the world, loved to make friends, and was brave and good at fighting, and soon stood out among the pirates and became the leader of the pirates in Sijiao Mountain.

There are many islands along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the islands are all equally poor fishermen, so the target of the pirates is to rob passing merchant ships, and the other is to go to the mainland to rob. However, these two targets are not so easy to grab, the merchant ships in these years are all large ships, and the ships are all neatly armed, and pirates without strength can't beat ordinary merchant ships at all. Taking Sijiao Mountain as an example, most of Gu Rong's ships were single-masted fishing boats and two-masted sailing ships, and there were only two three-masted ships. It is possible to beat a passing merchant ship, but if people are bent on escaping, they may not be able to catch up.

It is not easy to grab a sea ship, so the only way to grab it is to go to the coast of the mainland to grab it, and the villages and towns on the mainland will not move, and you can grab it whenever you want. However, on the coast of the mainland, there are countless guard posts, and the larger towns also have village soldiers, and the smaller villages have little robbery value.

So, in fact, pirates are not so easy to do. Last year, Gu Rong gathered four or five thousand pirates and coastal fishermen from various islands to attack Chongming Island. Chongming Island is isolated overseas, and the Ming army from all over the country is unable to help, although there are troops stationed on the island, it is a good target for robbery.

On Chongming Island, the pirates plundered and returned to their respective homes. Gu Rong took the pirates of Sijiao Mountain and returned to Sijiao Mountain with satisfaction, and the looted materials were enough for everyone to live happily for a few years.

For more than a year, Gu Rong has lived a very comfortable life, except for a few days ago, a man surnamed Song who came back from the Wa Kingdom brought Sijiao Mountain in a vain attempt to take root in the nearby seas.

Can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Gu Rong immediately led people to attack this group, but unexpectedly, their strength was not weak, his third leader Liu Laosan was captured by the other party, Gu Rong had no choice but to negotiate peace with the other party, and accepted the other party in the position of the second leader of Sijiao Mountain.

When he heard that an official and military fleet had broken into the waters of Sijiao Mountain, Gu Rong was shocked, and immediately asked people to beat the drum to gather all his subordinates.

In a short period of time, all the leaders rushed to the Juyi Hall, and even the new second leader, Song Liben, also arrived.

All the leaders also heard the news of the attack of the official army, and they talked nervously with each other. It was the first time in decades that an official army had come to attack Sijiao Mountain.

Gu Rong looked at his subordinates with a sinking face, different from his panicked subordinates, hearing that the official army was coming, Gu Rong actually had a faint excitement, after more than a year, he could finally do a good job!

"Why hasn't Ma Liu come yet?" His eyes swept the hall and saw that most of the leaders of his subordinates had arrived, but Ma Liu was gone, and Gu Rong was very unhappy.

Everyone looked at each other, and Liu Laosan said with a smile: "Big brother, you know that Ma Liu's family loves to drink, it is estimated that he drank a few more bowls of yellow soup yesterday, and he didn't get up." ”

"I'll settle accounts with him later!" Gu Rong snorted and said, "Brothers, everyone has heard that a group of official and military ships broke into the waters of Sijiao Mountain, what do you say?" ”

"****!" A few simple-minded pirates immediately shouted.

"Big brother, I don't know where the officers and soldiers are coming? Is it Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of the anti-Japanese army, or Huang Binqing of Zhoushan? How many boats are there? An old and serious pirate asked.

"Brother Mao, let's talk about it!" Gu Rong motioned for a young pirate standing beside him to answer.

The young pirate stepped forward and faced the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Mao Quan from Lantau Island, and when I went out to sea to fish this morning, I saw a group of official and military vessels, there were more than a dozen large and small boats, flying the sun and moon flags of the officers and soldiers, but I didn't see the flag of the main general, and they were coming to Sijiao Mountain. I didn't dare to look at it more, so I hurried to report it. ”

Gu Rong nodded and motioned for Mao Quan to retreat.

"Brothers, no matter where the officers and soldiers come from, they must be coming for our Sijiao Mountain, what should we do?"

",,!" All the pirates shouted in unison.

"Everyone got on the boat, gathered his men, and the officers and soldiers will arrive soon." Gu Rong was very satisfied with the state of his subordinates.

At that moment, the pirate leaders came out of the Gathering Hall, shouting and shouting, beckoning their direct subordinates, and heading towards the water village.

The Juyi Hall is built on a hill tens of meters high by the sea, and one mile below the hill is the sea, and the water village of Sijiao Mountain is on the seaside.

Eight or nine hundred pirates came from all over the place, ran into the waterhouse, and each got on the ship.

Under Gu Rong's orders, the pirate leaders restrained their subordinates, and more than forty large and small ships drove out of the water village and lined up on the sea.

Not long after the formation was formed, a clipper ship came from the distant sea, and a pirate on board reported loudly that the officers and soldiers were only more than ten miles away.

The clippers in charge of the sentry came one after another, reporting the whereabouts of the official and military ships. When the last clipper ship approached, the pirates could already see the silhouette of the officers and soldiers two miles behind the clipper.

"Pirates are very vigilant in this job, huh?" On the "Princess", Huang Fengwu said in surprise.

"Gu Rong has been a pirate for many years, and it has been more than a year since he attacked Chongming Island, if he wasn't vigilant, he would have been wiped out by the official army long ago. The sea area of dozens of miles nearby and the many islands we passed by are Gu Rong's sphere of influence, and the fishing boats we encountered that escaped far away are probably Gu Rong's spies. Ren Siqi said indifferently.

"They have a lot of ships, how should we fight?" Although Huang Fengwu had read a belly of war books, he had never really fought, and when he saw the dense pirate ships on the opposite side, he felt a little panicked.

"What, are you scared?" Ren Siqi tilted his head to look at her pretty face and asked.

"Cut! You're afraid! I'm going to take the lead! Huang Fengwu was not to be outdone, and said that he was going to get off the boat, go to the warship in Zhoushan, and charge in person.

"Hey, hey, big sister, what's the head." Ren Siqi grabbed her arm.

"This is a naval battle, and there is no need for hand-to-hand combat." Ren Siqi couldn't laugh or cry.

Huang Fengwu knew that she was a little reckless, she had never seen a real naval battle, and she knew that she didn't know how to command even if she got on a warship.

"You, you let go." After settling down, Huang Fengwu found that his arm was still in Ren Siqi's hand, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Hehe," Ren Siqi was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly took the opportunity to command, turning his head.

"Speed down, whole team!" With Ren Siqi's order, the various small flags representing the order were raised on the main mast of the "Princess", and the speed of each ship slowly decreased.

The two Dutch plywood ships, the "Princess" and the "Flying Fish", were at the forefront, and more than a dozen ships were arranged in a zigzag array, slowly pressing towards the pirate ships. (To be continued.) )
