Without much delay, the pirates made the decision to make a tentative attack on the second day of their arrival in Sandbank.

Although the capital city of Shazhou Prefecture has a fairly complete defense system, it is still inferior to the five prefectures in Songjiang County. Coupled with the geographical location of Ninghai County, Shazhou City does not even have a decent moat. All the pirates believed that if they paid a price, they would be able to conquer the city.

But the point is, no one wants to be the first to go up.

On the territory of the Black Shark Regiment, the leaders of the various pirates began to quarrel over the order of who would send troops to attack the city first. In fact, Zhang Jiade had already considered this matter, so he did not hesitate to draw lots, and then take turns to attack.

This is undoubtedly a fair approach, it all depends on the luck of each family, and no one has any objections.

In front of so many people, it is impossible for Zhang Jiade to cheat. However, his luck was not so bad, and he won the second lot. In front of him was the most unlucky Fuso group.

Miyamoto simply looked at the number on the bamboo stick, scolded a few times in the local language of Dongyi, broke the bamboo stick casually, and strode out with the two katanas on his waist. Under the gloating gaze of the other pirates, he began to gather his men to prepare for the attack.

The Dongyi Ronin under his command did not have much fear and shirk when they learned that they were going to be the first to go, but they were gearing up one by one. took the ladder from the front of Zhang Jiade's side, and climbed to the top of the city with a strange scream against the frightened attacks of the defenders at the head of the city. Although almost all of the first batch of Fusang group pirates who rushed forward were killed and injured by bows and arrows or rolling logs, the ferocity in the bones of these Dongyi people was stimulated and they rushed up even more fiercely.

Such a fierce man who is not afraid of death made the defenders a little flustered, and also made the other Haikou leaders who were watching the battle a little secretly frightened.

Zhang Jiade squinted his eyes, stood under the city and looked up, it seemed that he was paying attention to the battle situation, but God knows what he was thinking.

There were two waves of attacks, and there were sixty or seventy more corpses at the head and bottom of the city, and the smell of blood rippled.

Fulfilling his task, Miyamoto withdrew from the city with his subordinates, looked at Zhang Jiade with some arrogance, and faintly provoked. When the alliance was on the nameless island before, the hundreds of soldiers led by Zhang Jiade were indeed imposing, and they looked amazingly combative. However, the combat effectiveness of a unit can never be checked by looking at it, and it must be fought in real combat.

Miyamoto wanted to know if the Black Shark Regiment, which had recently gained fame, had the strength to match its reputation.

"Humph!"

In the face of Miyamoto's disrespect, Zhang Jiade only snorted in displeasure, waved his hand and ordered the pirates under his command to launch a third wave of attacks.

In the eyes of other pirate leaders, and even the Black Shark Regiment themselves, Zhang Jiade directly sent the first recruited veterans this time because he trusted their combat power. But only Zhang Jiade and a few henchmen knew that the reason why these pirates were sent instead of the disguised Songjiang army to attack the city was to maximize the strength of the pirates.

These pirates who were looking forward to conquering Shazhou Mansion were afraid that Zhang Jiade, who had not thought of this plan, was thinking ******** how to kill them......

However, these Haikou recruited by Zhang Jiade are not vegetarians.

They can be carefully selected, and they are themselves veterans among the pirates. may not be as fierce as the Dongyi people of the Fusang Regiment, but they are also ruthless. In addition, the Black Shark Regiment was well equipped, and hundreds of people attacked in turn, causing casualties to the defenders of Shazhou City no worse than those of the Fusang Regiment.

After seeing the strength of the Black Shark Regiment with their own eyes, the Haikou families present truly recognized Zhang Jiade!

With the successive attacks, four days passed in a flash.

Although the losses of the coalition army of 2,000 pirates were staggering, the city defense battalion of Shazhou Province was not much better. More than three hundred were killed and many more wounded. If it weren't for the fact that the government of Shazhou Prefecture recruited a group of people in time, and sent the government officials to capture the fast, the prison guards and a group of nobles' private soldiers, I am afraid that the troops would have been insufficient.

Rao is like this, and the situation in Sandbank City has become more and more unpleasant.

But outside the city, the coalition of pirates was also a little restless. They couldn't understand why it had been more than four days since the siege had been undertaken, but the inner response planted in the city had never moved. Not only that, but they didn't even try to communicate with the outside world. All the pirates are speculating about what happened in the city.

Is Shazhou Mansion really so heavily guarded in the city?

But, it doesn't make sense! The city defense battalion of Shazhou Prefecture is all in the city, where did they get so much military strength?

There was no internal response, and Shazhou Mansion was prepared in advance, and the determination to defend was very great, and the pirates who had paid a lot of sacrifices were somewhat shaken. It's not that no one doubts the Black Shark Regiment, but in the past few days of attacking, the Black Shark Regiment's strength is not smaller than theirs, and the sacrifices are only a lot more, and no one can pick out anything.

"At this time, if you still think about withdrawing, will not the blood of the former brothers be shed in vain?" Zhang Jiade's attitude was very resolute, and he said toughly: "Even if there is no internal response in the city, we must continue to attack." The number of people in the city defense battalion on Shazhou is not even half of ours, and the morale and casualties that can be borne are far inferior to ours, and they are almost unable to support it. ”

"Just two more days!" He stretched out two fingers, bewitching the leaders of the other pirates.

"Come to think of it, this is the essence of the entire Shazhou Mansion! If you can open up this big city of more than 100,000 people......"

Zhang Jiade's voice was lowered, but it was more seductive.

Eventually, the pirates were persuaded and decided to continue their onslaught after a half-day break.

Seeing that the situation on the Shazhou side had completely fallen under control, the Military Intelligence Department of the Songjiang Army, which single-handedly directed the entire situation in Ninghai, began to act again. Without their men to intercept them on the official road, Jiafu, the city guard of Quanzhou Port and the governor of Ninghai, finally received first-hand information about Shazhou Mansion.

Knowing that the pirates were attacking the east and west, and the main force attacked the city of Shazhou Mansion, Jiafu's face turned pale and he almost fainted.

After the intervention of the Military Intelligence Department, the news received by Jiafu one after another exaggerated the critical situation in Shazhou Province. The above clearly shows that there are not only as many as four or five thousand pirates, but also ambitions far beyond the imagination of the government. They have already united, not only satisfied with a Shazhou Mansion, after capturing this city, they will continue to go south and loot the entire Ninghai County!

These true and false news stunned the officials of the entire Quanzhou.

When did the strength of the pirates become so strong?

However, the critical reality is already in front of them. Jiafu couldn't think about the doubts in his heart, held a discussion overnight, and came up with a set of plans, including: immediately strengthen the defense of Quanzhou Port; Send someone to gather the two wings that have gone south, and let them return as far as they can; Report the situation of Ninghai County to the Imperial Center, and inform Donghai County that they hope to receive assistance from the Empire.

Even if you can't send a large army to support, you can send some of the Tokai County Sailors.

With the order given, three teams of messengers rushed out of the port of Quanzhou. One team to the south; The other two teams prepared to bypass Songjiang County, take a small road into the East China Sea, and then report to the East China Sea and the Imperial Capital respectively.

However, what no one knew was that after the three teams of messengers left Quanzhou Port for ten miles, a group of military intelligence agents disguised themselves as messengers from Quanzhou Port, and carried a forged handwritten letter from the governor of Quanzhou, swaggering towards the territory of Songjiang County. Walking all the way, making a big fuss, lest others not know that they were sent to Songjiang by Quanzhou to ask for help!

Three teams of messengers, inexplicably become four teams of messengers!

On weekdays, Quanzhou Port will receive feedback in a few days at the latest, but Ninghai County is now chaotic enough, coupled with the secret blockade of the Military Intelligence Department, no one has noticed this little problem at all.

Soon, the fourth group of messengers arrived at Luzhen on the edge of Ninghai County, where they encountered the Songjiang Army, who "happened" to be patrolling the nearby border. After opening the letter asking for help decently, Dian Yong agreed to the other party's request with a stern face, and then ordered the 1st Division of the Songjiang Army, which had already arrived at the border junction, to set off and cross the border into Ninghai at the speed of a rapid march. Together, there were two thousand Songjiang cavalry.

As for the forged letter for help...... After laying down Quanzhou, it is natural to use real seals and official documents to forge them.

Even if the officials in the whole Zhongzhou know that there is something wrong with this, as long as there is such a passable reason, so that the empire can gain face and get on the stage, the empire will have nothing to do with the current Songjiang!

Although not long ago in the crisis outside Daqing Pass, the Songjiang army chose to retreat and did not fight. But this time, in the face of the local forces of Ninghai, which were far inferior to the city guards, and those pirates who did all kinds of evil, the Songjiang army did not need to have any patience.

Two thousand Songjiang cavalry almost unscrupulously went straight to the sandbank.

The 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the Songjiang Army followed closely behind and rushed to Quanzhou Port. The third brigade, the goal is Hualien, ready to bloom on three sides, and eat the entire Ninghai Sanfu in one go!

As mentioned earlier, because the topography of Ninghai County is a long and narrow distribution in the north-south direction, it is not far from Luzhen to Shazhou. In just two days, 2,000 cavalry had already arrived ten miles outside the city of Shazhou Mansion. And at this time, it happened to be the time when the interior of Shazhou Mansion was weak and turbulent, and the patience of the pirates outside was also at the extreme.

"If you can't break the city tomorrow, Zhang will personally bring the last batch of elites to the city, and you will never come back if you don't take the city!"

In the face of the doubts and faint persecution of the pirate leaders, Zhang Jiade made such a promise and once again appeased these pirates who were destined to die without a place to be buried. And the next day, Zhang Jiade really did not disappoint these pirates, and personally led the elite of the Songjiang Army to disguise the "pirates" and attack the city of Shazhou Mansion!

Once these real armies used all their strength, they immediately dealt a fatal blow to the crumbling city defense of Shazhou Prefecture.

Already exhausted and understaffed, they were crumbling and on the verge of collapse after withstanding three waves of attacks in a row.

Seeing that the moment of breaking the city was imminent, all the pirates became excited.

However, at this very moment, there was a slight tremor in the earth!
