Sijiao Mountain, that is, the largest island in the Shengsi archipelago, the island is about more than 20 square kilometers, the island is full of mountains, but the mountains are gentle, suitable for human habitation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the lair of the great pirate Gu Rong is here.

Since more than a year ago, after sacking the entire Chongming Island, Gu Rong has made a fortune, and he is afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the official army, so he nests in his lair to enjoy the fruits of victory. When attacking Chongming Island, Gu Rong's men had thousands of men, most of whom were fishermen from various islands and even the mainland, acting together to lure and coerce Gu Rong. After conquering Chongming, a large amount of money, food and materials were seized, and the fishermen from all over the island dispersed, and Gu Rong took his descendants to live in seclusion on this Sijiaoshan Island.

There are only more than 2,000 fishermen and people on the entire Sijiaoshan Island, and Gu Rong's descendants actually have six or seven hundred pirates, after all, the island is barren and can't support too many people.

Most of the six or seven hundred men were fishermen from the island or nearby islands, and they went back to their respective homes to fish and farm in their spare time, and only gathered them together when they went out to sea to plunder.

Therefore, although Gu Rong is known as the biggest pirate in Zhoushan, and his reputation has spread throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in fact, his real strength is just like this, and there are more than 100 hardcore pirates who often gather around him, and there are only a dozen ships.

On this day, Gu Rong was sleeping in his cottage, and was woken up by his subordinates before dawn, and before he could get angry, his subordinates said that someone had come from South Ma'anshan Island and brought the news that another group of pirates had forcibly occupied Ma'anshan Island.

Gu Rong was furious when he heard this, the area around the Shengsi Islands was counted as his territory, and there were people on all the inhabited islands, and now someone dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head and open a mountain and set up a cabinet under his nose, which was too indifferent to himself.

Gu Rong immediately called someone from Ma'anshan in and asked in detail about the situation of the pirates.

"They are all foreign raw melons and eggs, they don't know the prestige of the big boss at all, the leader's surname is Song, and he has a nickname called 'Timely Rain', and he has more than a dozen real widows under him, and he is very fierce." It was the son of the old man on Ma'anshan Island who came to report the news, and told Gu Rong in detail about the situation of Song Liben and others.

Hearing that there were more than a dozen Japanese warriors under Song Liben, Gu Rong gasped. Since the Zheng family unified the Ming Sea area, whether it is the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or Fujian and Guangdong, there has long been no trace of the Japanese pirates, although there are countless sporadic pirates in various places, but the real Japanese are very rare.

"Someone, gather everyone!" Gu Rong hurriedly ordered, and more than a dozen small boats quickly rowed everywhere.

After more than an hour, more than a dozen two-masted and single-masted sloops sailed from all over Sijiaoshan Island and gathered in the bay. Fishermen dressed in various costumes stood on their sailboats with weapons in hand, and the sound of chaos wafted through the bay.

One small boat after another headed towards the coast, and one person got down from each small boat, walking quickly towards Gu Rong's place, they were the leaders of the pirates everywhere.

"I've seen the big boss!" The men saluted Gu Rong with their fists clasped.

Gu Rong bowed slightly: "Brothers, there is a group of pirates who don't know where they came from in South Ma'anshan, and they plan to set up a cabinet there, what do you say?" ”

"It's the other way around, and they dare to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth!"

"Don't they know that the Shengsi Islands are our territory? It's a lot of guts. ”

"There's nothing to say, destroy them!"

The pirates shouted in unison, all demanding the destruction of the bastards who dared to pick up the tiger's whiskers.

Seeing that people's hearts were available, Gu Rong smiled and nodded, and led everyone to the boat.

Gu Rong's ship was a three-masted galleon, the only big ship of the pirates, and the other ships were some two-masted schooners or dhows.

The three-masted sailing ship took the lead, followed by more than 20 other sailing boats, and Gu Rong gathered a total of more than 700 fishermen from the entire Sijiaoshan Island, vowing to wipe out that group of daring bastards.

Sijiao Mountain is more than 50 miles away from South Ma'anshan Island, and it will take two hours to reach it by boat.

At noon, the fleet arrived at Ma'anshan Island, only to see five sailing ships approaching.

"That's them!" The young fisherman who had come from Ma'anshan Island to report pointed to the sailboat on the opposite side and shouted.

"Destroy them!" Gu Rong coldly gave an order.

More than twenty sailboats scattered towards each other, and seeing that they were outnumbered, the five sailboats turned around and ran.

"If you are allowed to escape in this sea, I will not be surnamed Gu!" Gu Rong said disdainfully.

There are a lot of islands and reefs in this sea area, there are dozens of islands in the vicinity, and there are countless reefs that have just emerged from the sea, and there are not too many seaways that can be sailed, Gu Rong, as the landlord, is very familiar with every desert island and every reef, and he is confident that he will never let the other party escape.

Under Gu Rong's order, more than twenty sailing ships divided into four teams and outflanked each other along different sea lanes.

Song Liben commanded the fleet to sail between the islands and reefs, because of the fear of running aground, the fleet did not dare to get too close to the islands, nor did not dare to drive too fast, and tried to sail in the wide waters. Looking at the enemy ships chasing closely behind him, Song Liben frowned secretly.

At night, when he learned that a small boat had escaped from Ma'anshan Island, Song Li knew that Gu Rong would come sooner or later, and he had already made preparations to see Gu Rong's strength, because his task was to investigate.

After seeing the other party's more than 20 sailing ships, Song Liben put his mind at ease, the strength of the other party is not more than Erer, although there are many ships, there are not many big ships, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Daishan Inspection Division's naval army. Maybe Gu Rong didn't come out of the nest, but so what? The Daishan Inspection Division now has nine large ships, two of which are Dutch plywood ships equipped with multiple cannons, and as long as they are not forced to engage in broadside battles, these nine large ships are enough to sink the opponent's small ships one by one.

But Song Liben's task is not only to explore the strength of the other party, he has a more important mission on his back.

Just as Song Liben was pondering, suddenly five sailboats turned out from behind a deserted island in front of him, blocking his way. Song Liben turned his head and saw that the flotilla led by a three-masted sailing ship in the rear was still chasing closely, and there were faintly many desert islands and reefs on the left and right sides.

You have to face each other! Song Liben gritted his teeth and gave an order.

On one side were five sailing ships, two two-masted galleons and three dhows; On one side were four galleons, one two-masted and three sloops. The two sides walked towards each other with full strength, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and they could already see the hideous faces of the other team's crew.

"Bump it over!" Song Liben and the leader of the other party coincidentally gave the same order. The sailboats of both sides rushed straight towards each other at an unabated speed, and the shouts suddenly resounded on the surface of the sea. (To be continued.) )
