The "Flying Fish" set off in the middle of the night and spent two hours to bypass Xidaishan Island under the guidance of Sha Qianli. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The morning light in the eastern sky is bright, the blue sea is turbulent, and the "Flying Fish" is riding the wind and waves with a huge sail.

Standing on the deck, feeling the fierce cold breeze and smelling the unique fishy smell of the sea, Ren Siqi was in high spirits. The dawn hour is the time when people's vigilance is the most lax, and it is the best time to sneak attack.

"Look, there are so many people walking on the coast!" The lookout shouted suddenly.

Ren Siqi raised his monoculars and looked towards the shore on the left, and saw a long figure walking crookedly along the stone path on the shore. It was supposed to be a pirate trying to sneak up on themselves in Shuipu, but how did they walk back? Of course, Ren Siqi couldn't imagine that the pirates scuttled the ship in order to block the Shuipu channel.

"How far is it from the pirate's lair?" Ren Siqi asked Sha Qianli, who was standing beside him.

"Three or four miles away." Sha Qianli carefully distinguished the topography of the coast and replied.

"Very good, it will take them at least half an hour to return to the mountain road for three or four miles, and this time is enough time for us to break their lair." Ren Siqi smiled.

"Tell everyone to cheer up, the war is about to begin!"

Three or four miles by sea, it will be there in an instant. Then there was a bay in front of me, and there was a long and narrow island on the sea more than a mile from the bay. The outlying islands shelter the waves and create an excellent harbour in the bay.

"What a great place!" Ren Siqi sighed in admiration. In such a large bay, at least hundreds of large ships can be berthed! But right now, there are more than a dozen ships moored.

"Look, that's the Fuchun!" Xue Yulai has been silently following Ren Siqi's side, he is vengeful, and Ren Siqi has not assigned him a specific position.

Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw a sea ship much larger than the surrounding ships parked near the dock, which was the three-masted sea ship "Fuchun" that Ren Siqi was familiar with!

The arrival of the "Exocet" did not cause a riot among the ships in the bay, only two dhows hastily raised their sails and headed towards the "Exocet", while the other ships, including the "Fuchun", remained motionless, and it seemed that there was no one on duty on board.

"Go up and destroy those two boats!" Ren Siqi didn't expect the vigilance of the pirates to be so poor, and commanded the "Flying Fish" to crash into the incoming ship.

A pirate ship had just raised its sails, and before the speed was raised, it saw the "Exocet" crashing at high speed, and it didn't have time to dodge, and it was hit squarely.

The high bow angle of the "Exocet" was hitting the side of the pirate ship, and a tooth-souring "crunch" sounded, and the tall hull of the "Exocet" actually plowed over the pirate ship, and looking back, the pirate ship had been smashed into two sections, and saw that it was sinking into the sea little by little, and more than a dozen pirates on board jumped into the sea like dumplings.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Three guns on one side of the second deck fired, and the other pirate ship, which had dodged the impact of the Exocet, was hit by the guns at close range. Three cannonballs hit the side of the pirate ship in unison, and the wood chips flew in the middle of the ship, and the ribs of the pirate ship were punched in a large hole, and the sea water poured down the hole into the ship.

At this time, the distance between the "Flying Fish" and it was only one kilometer, and standing on the deck of the "Flying Fish" at such a close distance, you could see the panicked faces of more than a dozen pirates on the pirate ship.

The Exocet is a three-masted ship, much taller than this sloop.

"Bang bang bang!" A dozen musketeers stood on the deck and fired their muskets at the pirates who were close below, and three or four pirates were shot by the muskets and fell in pools of blood.

The rest of the crew were not idle, and the oil brought by Lu Zonghan was set up in a small jar, and after the mouth of the jar stuffed with cloth was ignited, a dozen jars of oil were thrown down and thrown right on the deck of the pirate ship.

The fire ignited on the deck in an instant, and the pirate ship fell into chaos, some pirates were hit by the oil can, and immediately burst into flames, howling and rolling on the deck, while some smart ones hurried across the deck and jumped into the water.

"They're done! Turn the rudder and lean towards the pier, everyone is ready to land! Ren Siqi ordered in a deep voice.

In the middle of this bay, there is a natural wharf, about ten zhang long narrow land, deep into the sea water, "Fuchun" stopped at the wharf.

With Ren Siqi's order, the "Flying Fish" lowered its sails, the speed immediately decreased, and the helmsman turned the rudder and slowly approached the dock.

A long plank of wood was attached to the deck and dock, and the stormtroopers and muskets, led by Ren Siqi, stepped onto the dock and walked briskly towards the beach.

"Queue up!" With an order from the Dutchman Monroe, all the crew members who had come ashore quickly formed a formation on the beach. Fifteen musketeers lined up in a row, and eighteen spearmen lined up in two behind the musketeers. Now the spearmen were armed with the spears that Lu Zonghan had brought, and the sharp spear heads shone in the morning light.

According to the order of the big boss Zhou Min, the third boss Feng Li took his subordinates to monitor Mao Shibai and the others, and basically didn't dare to close his eyes all night. When it was almost dawn, Zhou Min came back with more than a dozen of his men in two boats, and only after hearing that Mao 18 had not moved, could he be considered to have lifted the order to monitor. The pirates can sleep peacefully. I didn't think I slept for a while, and suddenly remembered the sound of artillery bombardment outside.

Zhou Min was suddenly awakened by the sound of cannons, and Huo Ran sat up from the bed.

"Big boss, it's not good, there are officials and soldiers sneaking up on the port!" One of his men ran in in a panic.

"Are they back?" Zhou Min grabbed the placket of his subordinates and asked sharply.

Seeing his subordinates shaking their heads vigorously, Zhou Min angrily threw him to the side.

"Assemble and follow me to the dock! You have to hold on until they come back! Zhou Min was very annoyed at this time, annoyed with his mistake, and waited hard for the big ship of the official army in the middle of the night to ambush the official army, but he didn't expect that the official government did not go to Shuipu at all, but came around the island.

At this time, all the pirates were awakened and ran out of the house one after another, forming a chaotic queue under Zhou Min's constraints.

Mao 18 also walked out slowly with his subordinates, standing in a pile to watch the excitement.

Since Mao Shibai didn't make any changes last night, Zhou Min no longer doubted him. The more than ten subordinates he brought back, plus the thirty or so people of the second master, Feng Li, together there were nearly fifty people, plus twenty people from Mao Eighteen, Zhou Min was confident that he would block the officers and soldiers at the dock. After all, the official army is just a big ship, how many people can it carry? But in this case, the ships in the bay may not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the officials and soldiers, but Zhou Min can't care about the ships at this time.
