Haitan Village is less than ten miles away from the fire port wharf. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Before Wu Tianxiao could put the formation away, Chen Sipan received a letter and personally rushed down the mountain to the dock with hundreds of men. The two sides are facing each other, and there is no superfluous thing to say, strength is the king, but this is an asymmetrical battle. Although Chen Sipan personally led the team at this time, there were only six or seven hundred people under him. And basically all of them were knives, guns, spears, and a dozen archers. On Wu Tianxiao's side, more than 1,000 people had already gone ashore, and seventy or eighty percent of them were fierce soldiers who were accustomed to killing pirates and pirates. Five or six wheeled guns were already in position.

At this time, although the Wu family army was arranging defensive positions. But seeing the pirates pouring out of the nest, they didn't wait for these pirates to rush over, and the skilled firecrackers were shot with firearms. Although some pirates have rushed in front of them, they have been followed by terrifying loud noises. The power of the grenade is unmatched in hand-to-hand combat. The fire shots and grenade throws completely blocked the attack launched by Chen Sipan. With this little time, the artillery is in full swing.

This is not a battle, but a massacre. Grenade explosions at close range, fire bolts at medium distances, artillery bombardment at long distances. Under the full-distance firearm coverage, in just a moment, Chen Sipan left three or four hundred corpses, and failed to rush in front of Wu Jiajun.

After the cannon fired, the pirates no longer had the courage to hold on, and they were immediately defeated, followed by a frenzied rout. After the pirates fled, Wu Tianxiao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but completed the defensive deployment of the burning port. Then he used horse-drawn artillery to chase Haitan Village under the leadership of Xu Hai.

The geographical location of Haitanzhai has a good terrain advantage in the era of cold weapons, but it is a very bad position in front of artillery. After entering the port from Yintai, the north side of the port is a tidal flat with a radius of four or five miles. With a little renovation and bricking, this tidal flat can be built into a very good salt drying field. On the east side of the tidal flat is Longwang Mountain. Longwang Mountain is not high, but it is very steep. Chen Sipan's cottage was built on Longwang Mountain. If it is a short-handed battle, it is completely possible to take advantage of the steep mountain to defend actively. But the cottage is less than a kilometer away from the tidal flats below the mountain in a straight line, which is completely within the optimal range of artillery.

So when Xu Hai took Wu Tianxiao to the foot of the mountain, Wu Tianxiao said with a smile: "Hehe." Everyone estimates that they will be able to spend the night in the cottage tonight. ”

Xu Hai was puzzled: "Handsome." Although this Dragon King Mountain is not high, you see, the mountain is very steep. There is only one mountain road in the cottage, as long as Chen Sipan uses a boulder to seal this mountain road, plus Chen Sipan asks his subordinates to throw stones on the mountain. We wanted to attack the cottage, but it was a bit of a gnaw. ”

Wu Tianxiao smiled: "Why let the soldiers take risks. Then Wu Tianxiao ordered: "Set up all the artillery for me, aim the muzzle of the cannon at the cottage on the mountain, and give me a few rounds to adjust the artillery firing distance." ”

When the gunner got the order, he fired more than a dozen shells at Haitan Village, and then Wu Tianxiao ordered everyone to rest on the spot. Then to Xu Hai: "Xu Hai." You send one of your men up the mountain to persuade Chen Sipan to surrender. If he is willing to surrender, I will spare his life. If he doesn't know how to resist to the end, then tell him that I don't plan to attack the mountain, so I will directly use artillery to level the cottage. Xu Hai has also been suppressed by the firearms of artillery, firearms, and grenades, and even sent a subordinate to go up the mountain to say that Chen Sipan would surrender.

At this time, there were only three or four hundred people left around Chen Sipan, and they all had no courage to resist. When he heard that he could not die if he surrendered, he did not dare to resist any longer, but took out the property he had plundered and hoarded in the past and went down the mountain to surrender. Chen Sipan's surrender also caused Qianqi Island and Xiaolian Island to surrender without a fight, and Wu Tianxiao occupied and fully controlled the main island of Haitan (Pingtan Island) and the Haitan Islands.

After occupying Haitan Island, Wu Tianxiao disarmed Chen Sipan and others. He also asked his subordinates to cut down trees on the spot with seven or eight hundred prisoners, and built a temporary grass shed in Haitan Village as a rescue point for the victims. And asked Tan Lun to take people to the families on the Haitan Islands, distribute food door-to-door, and provide disaster relief nearby. He also sent Jiang Zhuang to lead people to sort out the five ships with hundreds of materials that had been seized, and prepared to join the fleet to transport the victims. This increased the number of ships of the size of the fleet to fifteen.

After first arranging the rescue of the captives and the fishermen on the Haitan Islands, Wu Tianxiao asked Xu Hai: "Now that the Haitan Islands are under control, we can start recruiting the victims." Xu Hai. Where do you think it's better to set up a solicitation point? ”

Xu Hai said: "There is only a ten-mile sea road from Huojiao Port to Donghan Village on the other side. But the villages on the other side of the river have been devastated, and now there are no people, and most of them have fled. The marshal wants to recruit the victims, and it is best to go to Longtian Town. It was only half an hour's sea journey from the burning port and only thirty miles from the county seat of Fuqing, where many victims of the disaster had gathered. ”

Wu Tianxiao nodded: "Okay." You are most familiar with the geography here, so I will listen to you once. We went to Longtian Town to set up a collection point for the victims. It's just that if the sea ship is sailed to Longtian Town with such fanfare, I am careful that it will arouse the vigilance of the local government. It was a nuisance. ”

Xu Hai hated: "There is some truth in what the big marshal said. It's just that now the government is rampant with corrupt officials, and corrupt officials regard the victims as flies and rats, lest they be avoided. As long as you don't compete with the government, there won't be any trouble. ”

At this time, Tan Lun also opened his mouth to suggest: "My subordinates think." At this time, Dashuai might as well show the identity of the merchants in Zhoushan, indicating that because he could not bear the suffering of the victims, he recruited the victims to give porridge relief. Nowadays, the victims of the sea spill are a big headache for the local government. The marshal recruited and rescued the victims in Zhoushan, and it was not difficult to repeat the old trick at this time. As long as a soup kitchen is set up in Longtian Town, it can be used as a place to solicit people, and the government will not record the identity of the victims. Every time the victims gather a certain number of people, they are transported to Haitan Island, and then transported back to Tamsui City from Haitan Island. As long as the number of people at the soup kitchen is controlled within a certain range, the government will not care too much. ”

Wu Tianxiao thought about it. As long as the number of victims at the soup kitchen is controlled within a certain number of people, and then secretly transported to Haitan Village, and then transported back to Tamsui City from Haitan Village. That way there won't be any trouble.

So Wu Tianxiao assigned everyone to take charge of their duties according to their own responsibilities. First, Tan Lun took a part of the people and drove the five offshore ships seized from Chen Sipan to carry a batch of grain to Longtian Town. Wu Dashan, a merchant in Zhoushan, set up a soup kitchen to solicit and help the victims gathered outside Longtian Town, and then Jiang Zhuang was responsible for transporting people to Haitan Island.

In fact, Wu Tianxiao's caution is superfluous. At this time, the local officials regarded the victims as ants, and feared that the victims would cause chaos, so they closed the gates of the city and forbade them to enter and exit. Countless victims outside the city had nothing to eat, and they fed their hunger with wild vegetables and Guanyin soil. After Wu Tianxiao asked Tan Lun to set up a soup kitchen, the victims who heard the news poured into the tide, so that Tan Lun had to use soldiers to maintain order. The local government not only ignored it, but also rejoiced that the victims had left.
