A tall man stood on the bank of the estuary, his waist as straight as a javelin under the cover of night, and some of them stood around him, silently looking at the sea outside the mouth of the Tamsui River.

The man kept a monocular in his hand and searched silently across the sea, through which he could see the lights of several Dutch warships far off the shore, and only after seeing the whole surface of the sea did he put down the binoculars in his hand.

Yu Xiaotian turned around, with a look of disdain on his face, and said to Liu Wang beside him: "The Dutch are really arrogant! Dare to come to us for trouble without the cover of enough boats!

What I was afraid of was that they wouldn't come, and now it seems that my worries are unnecessary! They can't help but come here!

However, this Waite was still more careful, and actually only sent three boats into the estuary, leaving four boats outside the estuary, which caused us some trouble!

But that's fine! It's not realistic to want to eat them all in one bite, and this red-haired general is not a fool! I also know to keep a hand! Three boats are enough though! Next, it's up to Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragon! Signal! Let's get started! ”

Liu Wang's face was filled with an uncontrollable excitement, and he immediately nodded: "Obey!" Spread the orders of the big bosses and send signals! ”

After a while, three red flares flew up from the shore and rushed straight into the night sky, and they flew very high before they slowly began to fall.

The light of the red flare in the night can be clearly seen from a distance, and this flare is actually a kind of rocket.

For the sea wolves, who have long mastered the technology of gunpowder production, they have long begun to trial produce this kind of rocket, after adding some raw materials, and can produce a variety of dazzling colors, in fact, it is just some large fireworks, but the burning time is longer.

At night, this kind of thing is naturally an excellent thing to transmit signals, and in the era when there is no radio, this kind of thing is undoubtedly the best way to transmit signals at night.

This kind of rocket can fly to the sky at a height of more than 100 meters, and then burst out a dazzling light, even if it is a hundred or twenty miles away, the light of these rockets can be easily observed.

Of course, the Dutch were not blind, and they spotted the three red flares as soon as they rose into the air, but they didn't know what they meant, but Waite immediately had a sense of foreboding.

Signaling at night is certainly not a good thing, and the sea wolf will not dare to slack off if he can't figure out what to do, so he quickly ordered to hang up the signal lights and gather several other boats towards his location, ready to deal with what might happen next.

On the way he escorted Yu Zhigao's fleet to Nanri Island, the sea wolf once attacked Yu Zhigao's fleet at night, and achieved considerable results, making Yu Zhigao disgraced, losing a lot of ships, and so frightened that Yu Zhigao stopped night sailing and only dared to sail during the day.

So he was still quite jealous of the sea wolf's ability to fight at night, and now that all of a sudden, the sea wolf sent such a signal at night, and he couldn't figure out what action might be taken against them.

The night was the best cover for the sea wolves, so that the lookouts on their Dutch ships could not see the sea in the distance, although these lookouts had been ordered to closely observe the surrounding sea before it was dark to prevent the sea wolf ships from sneaking up, but even if they stared wide, they could not see farther.

The weather also caused a lot of trouble for the Dutch, and tonight the sky was a little cloudy, obscuring the moonlight, making the sea even more black.

On the shore outside the estuary, piles of bonfires began to be lit at this time, outlining a long stretch of coastline, and just by looking at these fires, you can judge where the coastline is, and one such bonfire lasted for a long distance, more than a mile or two.

The presence of these bonfires on the shore made Waite even more nervous, and he immediately thought of why the sea wolves lit so many bonfires on the shore, which should actually provide navigation for their fleet, so as to prevent their fleet from accidentally approaching the shore at night, causing them to run aground or run aground.

So he immediately ordered the lookouts to quickly strengthen their observation of the surrounding sea, searching for possible traces of enemy ships, but the sea was still a black hole, like a monster that could devour a qiē ray, so that they could not see anything on the sea, only the sound of the waves crashing against their hull, and the roar of the sea water hitting the reef on the shore.

The sudden situation made all the Dutch nervous, and the captain ordered the sailors on the ship to open all the gun doors at once, and ordered the gunners to be immediately in position and ready to reload and fire at any time.

The four Dutch ships began to gather together on their own initiative, forming a diamond-shaped square, hugging together and ready for battle.

But they waited left and right, but found nothing unusual, but the bonfires on the shore began to be extinguished one after another, and at last the whole coastline was quiet again, and the darkness was once again enveloped.

"What the hell are these goddamn pirates trying to do?" This was the thought of all the Dutch, who were so nervous that they waited for a long time without any movement.

"Could it be that these cunning Chinese are deliberately scaring us? Want to scare us away in this way? So some people began to look for the reason with their own cleverness.

Waite still did not dare to be careless, and continued to lead the fleet to remain vigilant, but after another hour or so, the sea was still quiet, and there was still no movement.

At this moment, all the Dutch, including Waite, began to have the idea of being teased, and the sea wolves were not summoning a fleet to attack them at all, but simply scaring them.

So all the Dutch people couldn't help but have a feeling of wanting to scold, this midnight three watches, people are scary and will be scared to death! The nerves were about to burst, and nothing happened.

Just as they were about to relax, three red flares suddenly rose on the beach, and then along the coastline, a bonfire was lit again, outlining a long coastline.

The Dutchman, who had just relaxed, became nervous again, and quickly searched the sea around him with wide eyes, but after an hour had passed, the campfire on the shoreline had been extinguished again, and nothing had happened on the sea.

At this time, the Dutch finally couldn't help but start scolding, and naturally there were no shortage of the best scum on their boats, scolding all the swear words they could think of, and spewing out foul words on the coast.

Tossing like this twice in a row, this is simply playing with people! Isn't it clear that they need to tense their nerves in the middle of the night? It's just one time, but twice in a row, people's energy is limited to toss for hours in a row, for these Dutch sailors, it's not a fun thing, so toss, don't think about resting all night.

But after waiting for a while, they still didn't find anything abnormal, the sea was still quiet, there was no movement, this time the Dutch began to relax, after all, it was not long before dawn at this time, they faintly heard a rumbling cannon sound from the Tamsui River, in their feelings, the three boats they sent into the Tamsui River, probably began to bombard the pirates' castle.

At this time, three red flares were raised on the beach for the third time, and then the bonfire was lit again, and the light of the fire outlined the long coastline.

This time, even Waite himself didn't bother to be vigilant anymore, and secretly cursed these damn pirates in his heart, and that's all he had to do to scare people, doing this three times in a row in one night, as if he was tired, just once or twice, and now he is still here, he is really a bastard to the extreme.

So by this time, Waite's fleet was no longer nervous from top to bottom, and several sailors on the ship were lying on the deck of the ship, some of them had simply snorted and fell asleep, and even the gun doors on the side of the ship were closed, and the gunpowder taken out was also put back into the ammunition depot.

Since the damned pirates are willing to toss, let them toss, this continuous voyage for many days has made these sailors very tired, and yesterday there was a cannon battle with the artillery fort on the shore, which made them feel even more tired, plus one night the pirates continued to toss like this, almost all of them did not sleep, and at this point, even Waite himself felt very tired, let his officers take over his command, and turned back to the cabin to rest.

As soon as Wert lay down on the soft bed, he fell asleep almost immediately, letting out a burst of snoring.

The sea water lapped against the hull of the boat, making a rhythmic but very dull sound, which made people listen to drowsy, and even the lookouts, who had been nervous all night, began to nap on the lookout, too lazy to continue to stare at their sour eyes, and went to search the sea.

But at this time, two large fleets appeared on the sea not far from them, and all of these ships maintained the light control, but lit a one-way transparent glass lamp at the stern, so that only the ships following the front ship could observe the position of the front ship, and their lights could not be seen from other directions, let alone their whereabouts.

Liu Yidao and the one-eyed dragon each led a fleet of boats, from the north and south sides towards the mouth of the Tamsui River, in fact, since last night when it was not dark, they began to sail, has approached the mouth of the Tamsui River, but after dark, they stopped, quietly remained silent, waiting for the signal on the sea.
