"Who is so bold that he dares to come to Haizhou Port to make trouble." The team said in wonder, thinking that even the officers and soldiers of the Zhao Ziying had been pacified, and there were still no long-sighted doors?

Li Haiou glanced at him and didn't speak, this Li Haiou wanted to say that the sea and the land are two different things, but thinking that his family is a shelter here, it is better not to offend people by talking too much.

The flag of Haizhou Port is very simple, it is a superficial means taught by the sailors on the ship, at this time, several batteries have horses running up and down the mountain road, passing on the news to convey orders, and soon there is a disposition, the fleet enters the effective range of the batteries and fires, this order is issued, the port batteries are beginning to be nervous and busy.

The guards of the port and the companies on standby nearby began to move, and there were also artillery guns pushed out on the docks, and there were temporary fortifications piled up with sandbags to cover them, and the ships parked in the harbor were not allowed to leave people, and if they were in other ports, at this time someone had already set sail and left, so as not to be affected by the flames of war, and if the pirates or anyone outside approached, it was too late to leave the fish on the chopping board, and they were slaughtered.

But in the port of Haizhou, they did not dare to disobey the arrangement, if they set sail out of the port at this time, the artillery of the fort would not be polite, and they would never want to come here to do business in the future, and everyone still knew how to make a trade-off between life and death.

Of the nineteen batteries in Haizhou Port, the smallest caliber gun is a nine-pounder gun, the largest caliber is an eighteen-pounder gun, the highest gun is a twelve-pounder long gun, and the eighteen-pounder and sixteen-pounder guns are too heavy, and sometimes they need to use cattle and horses for steering adjustment, so they are all in a lower position, and there are only two nine-pounder guns, which is a terrain in the port wharf that cannot be used as a berth.

"Damn, they know which way to catch the wind." More than one of the men in the fort said this, the sea breeze at this time of year was just right for the fleet to rush into the harbor, and the flotilla below was all sailing.

Looking down condescendingly, you can see that the fleet at sea begins to change in the process, the small boats begin to move forward, the small boats are fast, they must be used to assault and occupy the key points, and if you don't do it, you have to put down the oars, and after controlling the main points, the big ships can move calmly, and in naval battles, the small boats are scattered, the targets are small and worthless, whether it is shelling or collisions between ships, they can often be avoided, and it is not worth fighting!

The twelve-pounder gun of the highest battery had raised the angle of fire, and the artillery team was squinting at the range, and he was going to fire first, and as he watched, he kept muttering: "Closer, closer!" ”

With a boom, the first cannon fired, and the two sides expected about the same, this distance, aiming at a small target in motion, it is indeed difficult to hit, but the approximate location is not bad, you can see the shells near a small boat, the water column soars into the sky, and those small boats burst into laughter, although the laughter can not be heard on the side of the battery, but you can see someone on the ship provoking the battery.

"Team Eight! I'm afraid that these are pirates and pirates, and they can't shoot anything like this, so sooner or later they have to come to the dock and use a boat to go to the sea to fight them! Li Haiou could see the situation, rushed into the fort and shouted.

"There are only a thousand of us who can go to the sea and move knives, Jin Ye treats you as treasures, and is still waiting for you to build a ship and start the ship, how can you be willing, you dodge a little, don't be jumped by Mars!" The team was yelling back, and the cannon rang out, and the fire of the nearby artillery made it even more difficult for each other to speak.

Seeing that the team was covering their ears, Li Haiou hurriedly did so, the battery shook, the artillery roared, this time the fire hit a ship, the shell of the twelve-pound gun broke a small boat, and the people on the boat definitely couldn't survive, there was a cheer in the battery, but Li Haiou also understood that there were ten people at most on the small boat, and it was too inaccurate and wasteful to fight like this.

"Da Li, we are not afraid that he will go ashore, someone will clean them up when he goes ashore, this is a good opportunity for us to practice artillery, how can we usually send them to the door to be beaten?" A family member shouted with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Haiou didn't say anything, watching the more than ten catties of lead and iron lumps just hit out and fall into the sea, and suddenly he felt distressed, this Xuzhou people are too defeated in the war, these shells are good things that can be sold for money, just like this, they can't necessarily hit, which is too expensive.

The artillery on almost every battery has been fired twice, and the results are really pitiful, only three ships have been hit, two have been directly sunk, and one ship has been swept by cannonballs, and the people on board have been swept away, and several guns on the dock are ready to be ignited.

But at this time, the small boats that had entered the harbor began to turn around, and actually fled the way they came, and even lowered their oars at this time and rowed desperately, and the artillery roared a few times, and then the batteries were quiet, and the enemy ships moved, and the adjustment of the artillery could not keep up, and they could not keep up, although this was a good opportunity to practice gunnery, but there was no need to waste ammunition casually.

The more crucial reason is that there are signals coming from the lookouts and high places, or the battery team is directly visible, and the big ships are also turning, and the menacing fleet just now just stopped and prepared to leave.

After a while, the families of Haizhou Harbor could finally decide that the fleet was leaving, sporadic cheers sounded everywhere, there was really nothing to be happy about, this battle was not clear, there was no beginning or tail, more people were just confused, under the requirements of strict discipline, no one dared to relax at this time, the vigilance continued, the lookout continued, and there were people on horseback to follow the departing fleet, and small boats began to be put down on the port side, searching for the surviving enemies in the port.

"Lu Zheng, we only caught one person, but he was also seriously injured, saying that he was Zhong Bin's subordinate, and said that he heard rumors that we were here to deliver salt goods with the Zheng family's gang, and there were at least 200,000 taels of silver stored on the shore, so if we asked so much, people would be out of gas." When Shi Manqiang arrived here, the family hurriedly informed the result.

Shi Manqiang nodded sullenly, since the remnants of the Li family came to take refuge, the core of the second brigade was placed here, and Shi Manqiang also became a permanent resident, and the views of the following Jiading and others were different, from Zhao Jin's advice and letter, Shi Manqiang could realize the importance of this Haizhou Port to Xuzhou, and he rarely saw Zhao Jin attach so much importance to one thing.

"Send someone to Haizhou City to inform them, and say that this is the port's own business, and it has nothing to do with them, so there is no need to close the city gate so frightened!" Shi Manqiang ordered angrily.

Haizhou City, which is close to Haizhou Port, while making a fortune because of this port, is afraid that Xuzhou people will attack the city and occupy an area.

"Luzheng, the enemy ship did not go along the coast, but went to the sea." By the time Shi Manqiang came to the dock, the side had become heavily guarded, the moored ships were empty, the owners and sailors had gone to the shore to be happy, and no one left because of this sudden attack, which made everyone in Zhao Ziying very puzzled, but the people left in Haizhou Port by the Li family explained.

This sea is not as big as the land, it seems to be vast, there are so many routes that may be taken, rather than worrying about the other party's attack again, it is better to worry that the purpose of the other party's attack is to drive everyone out, and then attack on the sea, after all, this port is safer, there is only a dead end for the ship to be robbed, and on this side of the port, even if the ship is destroyed, the life can still be saved.

"That Zhong Bin is so bold, he actually dares to make a move on the port of Xuzhou, these pirates really don't know the height of the sky, does he think that he can not go ashore for the rest of his life!" Shi Manqiang gritted his teeth and said.

After scolding for a while, Shi Manqiang calmed down a little, and the Li family disciple who was commenting on the side said in a solemn voice: "Lu Zhengye gave the little one a boat, and the little one took a few brothers out to have a look, if they went far away, it was easy to say, if they didn't go far, the little one would come back immediately to report the news." ”

The person who said this was not very old, Shi Manqiang turned his head to look at it, and asked in a muffled voice: "I remember that your name is Li Sizhang, it's good that you have this heart, you don't have to go to the sea, now we are short of manpower at sea." ”

Shi Manqiang's face was very gloomy, but when he said this, he remembered the story of the Yu family in Songjiang, when he sent the children of the Cai family and the children of Xuzhou who were interested in the sea to Songjiang to learn sailing, but the Yu family always refused to teach, covering up many restrictions, and the real training was equal to the fact that the Li family gang came before it began, and it didn't take long for the Li family and the Zheng family to make a fuss, and they hadn't learned anything, let alone learned anything, and now they can rest assured that the children of the sea are only a thousand people. I don't dare to let it out casually, and I can't afford to lose.

If the Yu family could do their best to teach at that time, now Zhao Ziying can use his own fleet to go out to chase after him, why be so careful.

Shi Manqiang pondered there, and Li Sizhang on the side hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Lu Zhengye, in fact, our Li family came here and was taken in by Lord Jin, the Zheng family must also be jealous, there are no grievances at sea, only business, if the Zheng family is behind the instructions"

"The people of the Zheng family are still living in the port, I have already seen it, don't be suspicious if you don't have evidence, Xuzhou will not mix your grievances." Shi Manqiang said in a muffled voice, Li Sizhang hurriedly bowed down, but he didn't dare to say any more, but he was also thinking in his heart, if the Zheng family really wanted to do it, they would definitely not let these families in Hong Kong go, and a few lives were really nothing.

Shi Manqiang took a few steps forward and said, "You have come to Xuzhou on the right foot, and you will definitely have a great future in the future, much stronger than your big gang." ”
