In fact, at this time, Chen Sipan was only able to fight about 1,000 troops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause first Xu Weixue took away five or six hundred of his subordinates, and then after turning his face with Xu Hai, Xu Hai also took away four or five hundred of his subordinates. When Chen Sipan and Xu Hai were fighting, although they successfully expelled Xu Hai from Haitan (Pingtan) Island, Xu Hai fled to Dongyang Island for refuge. But there were a lot of casualties on both sides in this fight, so at this time, Chen Sipan only had more than 1,000 soldiers who could fight, and some of them had to be divided to defend Xiaolian Island and Qianqi Island. Therefore, at this time, the number of troops guarding Haitan Village on Haitan Island was only six or seven hundred. As the frontier position of Haitan Village, the guards of the burning port were less than 300 people. In the other three islands, there are only more than 100 defenders on each island. But they don't know these Wu Tianxiao yet.
Wu Tianxiao heard Xu Hai's request, so he asked, "What are your conditions?" ”
Xu Hai said: "The fishermen here are innocent, but it is I, Xu Hai, who fled here to take refuge, that caused them to suffer. As long as you promise me not to kill the fishermen here, I will be at your disposal. ”
Wu Tianxiao smiled when he heard this: "We heroes in the East China Sea are going to do the right thing for heaven, if you don't say this request, I won't hurt the fishermen." ”
Xu Hai nodded when he heard this, and threw his double knives on the ground: "If you don't count, I will be a ghost after death." ”
Wu Tianxiao continued to ask, "You don't have to be careful about this. It's just that I want to know, why did you turn against Chen Sipan? ”
Xu Hai had already given up resistance at this time, so he poured beans and told Chen Sipan about the infighting...
After hearing this, Wu Tianxiao wooed Xu Hai: "This month, the coastal waters of Fujian overflowed, and there were countless victims. I came to kill Chen Sipan this time to rescue the refugees who were affected by the sea overflow disaster, and to open a safe passage for this purpose. I heard that you Xu Hai is also a man, are you willing to help the people affected by the disaster with me? ”
Xu Hai is originally from Fujian, and he is also a victim of the disaster this time. After listening to Wu Tianxiao's words, he shouted: "There are not many people who have suffered from Haiyi this time. However, the government's relief efforts were ineffective, and plague was rampant. To this day, many fields are still submerged in seawater and cannot be cultivated. The people had no food, and the able-bodied became robbers, plundering everywhere for a bite to eat. If today's disaster is combined with man-made disasters, and the number of victims has reached hundreds of thousands, can you save them? ”
Wu Tianxiao said: "If you are willing to help, saving one more person is one person." ”
Xu Hai asked again: "How do you resettle the victims?" ”
Wu Tianxiao said: "I have my own way. It's just that the most important thing now is to get rid of Chen Sipan. Otherwise, I will be harassed by Chen Sipan during the disaster relief. In addition, Haitan Island is close to the disaster area, so I need to use Haitan Island as the front line to transport the victims to other places for resettlement. ”
After hearing this, Xu Hai nodded: "Okay." I want to see with my own eyes how you heroes of the East China Sea do the right thing for heaven. Xu Hai then recruited more than 200 pirates to surrender together. Wu Tianxiao mixed these people into various ships, leaving only a dozen henchmen to Xu Hai.
With Xu Hai's submission, things are much smoother. In order to appease the people of Dongyang Island, Wu Tianxiao asked people to bring food down from the boat, and each family sent rice to appease. And tell the fishermen not to go out to sea today for the time being.
The next morning. Wu Tianxiao only left a few dozen people on Dongyang Island as guards, and hired islanders to build wind and fire forts with rice and grain. Then he led the fleet, under the guidance of Xu Hai, to the burning port to kill.
With Xu Hai's pilotage, the fleet went directly south, bypassing Qianqi Island and entering Silver Taiwan. As soon as Wu Tianxiao and the others entered Yintai, they found that three small and medium-sized ships were heading towards the mouth of the bay. The largest one is only more than 1,000 materials, and the other two are estimated to be between seven and eight hundred.
Xu Hai is still relatively clear about Chen Sipan's power. After discovering these three ships, he said to Wu Tianxiao: "This is Chen Sipan's ship, but Chen Sipan is not necessarily on the ship." After the overflow, the coastal grain of Quanzhou, Xinghua, Fuzhou, and Funing was in danger. Chen Sipan often sent minions out to search for private boats, and as long as they encountered a small group of private boats, they would rob them. These ships are supposed to go out for cruises. ”
Wu Tianxiao watched the three ships heading towards his fleet, and said with a smile: "These thieves shouldn't treat us as private merchant ships, right?" ”
Xu Hai sneered: "It's hard to say. Now Chen Sipan and his men are dizzy from hunger, and they will definitely surround you when they see so many of your ships. ”
Wu Tianxiao used a telescope to check the enemy's situation, and found that the pirates on the other party's ships really waved the weapons in their hands, shouting at their side, and no longer talking nonsense. He gave the order to the herald: "Give the order to go down and prepare for battle." Four Fuso ships gave way, and the others caught up. When the gunners were in position, they used these three pirate ships as training targets, and those who hit one shell were rewarded with ten taels of silver. ”
With one order, all the crew got busy. The four new Fuso ships gave way to the back of the fleet. Six other armed ships with artillery caught up. At this time, the fleet had a total of ten sea vessels, six of which were armed with a total of one hundred and eight guns, and one round of shelling was dozens of shells.
Wu Tianxiao smiled at Xu Hai and said, "Xu Hai." Today I will let you see what is the new mode of naval warfare in the age of firearms. After speaking, Wu Tianxiao gave the order to the herald to open fire.
As soon as Wu Tianxiao gave the order, dozens of shells were dumped. In this round of shelling, one pirate ship was sunk on the spot, many pirates were killed on the spot, and most of the remaining pirates fell into the sea. The other two pirate ships didn't have time to think about it, and they wailed and hurried to turn their bows and escape. Pity. How could there be such a good thing, Wu Tianxiao saw this and ordered again: "Stop the shelling, pursue it at full speed, and prepare the firecrackers." Led the order behind the Fuso ship to salvage the prisoners and pirates who fell overboard. ”
At this time, the number of firearms equipped by Wu Tianxiao's soldiers had reached two-thirds. Just when the remaining two pirate ships wanted to escape, Wu Jiajun's fleet caught up. The pirates thought they wanted to save the defeat with hand-to-hand combat, and they didn't want the ships on the two sides to be dozens of paces away before they got close. There was a crackling burst of gunfire, and dozens of pirates fell in a pool of blood.
Wu Tianxiao yelled at the pirate: "Surrender immediately, otherwise you will be killed." ”
Wu Tianxiao shouted, and the soldiers on the other ships that surrounded him also shouted: "Abandon your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will be killed." For a while, the roar was like a rainbow.
After sinking a pirate ship with a single round of artillery bombardment, and a burst of fire, the pirates had already lost their momentum, and in this roar like a rainbow, they abandoned their weapons one after another, and consciously fell to their knees on the deck, not daring to resist.
Two pirate ships were captured, as well as pirates rescued from the sea, and a total of two or three hundred of Chen Sipan's men were captured alive. Wu Tianxiao had four Fusang ships not equipped with artillery to watch over the prisoners and follow behind the fleet. He continued to lead the armed fleet to the burning port of Haitan Island. After arriving at Huoyao Harbor, I found that the pier of Huoyao Harbor was also very simple, and there were several flat-bottomed boats moored on the pier with hundreds of materials. Moreover, there were not many guards at the wharf, and when they found that a sea ship was approaching, they did not even care about the boat in the explosion of several shells, so they fled to the island. Wu Tianxiao ordered people to occupy the wharf, so he personally led the team to rush ashore and organize a defensive formation. Then he asked his men to transport the modified wheeled guns.
