(Solemnly: This book on the PC side is blocked, please use the starting point APP to see the genuine version!) The APP is updated normally, and there is no way to crack down! )

Jack's incitement was really outrageous, and on the third day of Wang Xuan's return to Na Tuo, he had already fooled the three major pirates and seven or eight slightly smaller pirate groups.

These people, the small ones have three or five ships, like the three big pirates, each of them has more than 20 ships in their hands, more than 2,000 pirates.

There are more than 8,000 pirates in total, and of course, they won't all be sent out at once!

The three pirates still had to leave some of them to guard the lair, but in the end, there were no less than 6,000 pirates in total.

When the pledge meeting was held on the island, Jack was a little stunned when he looked at the noisy more than 6,000 people, there were too many people, he never thought that his appeal would be so great!

It's just like Shen Gongbao didn't think that a Taoist friend, please stay, will pit so many sect disciples!

Will it be too big, and in the end, Wang Xuan played with fire and set himself on fire, and he was really taken down by these pirates, right?

But...... That doesn't seem like much, does it?

When the time comes, I'll fake it myself, and there's nothing wrong with having a port to play, it's beautiful!

Let's talk about it depending on the situation!

The pirates didn't do any reconnaissance in front of the enemy, nor did they have any plans or anything like that, in their words, Lao Tzu himself didn't know his own plans, depending on how the enemy guessed!

The only plan is to rush in in the evening, and it will be over with one burn, kill and loot.

On the other side, Wang Xuan was also making all kinds of precautions, not only dismantling a large number of artillery guns to defend against the opponent's surprise attack on land, but also deliberately selecting five relatively dilapidated ships in front of the port wharf to park horizontally.

Fortunately, this plan itself was made up by Wang Xuan himself, and he arranged in advance for Arthur to send a ship back in advance to report the news before the pirates gathered and set off, first, he wanted to understand the enemy's movements, second, to understand the enemy's strength, and third, to understand the enemy's approximate attack time.

Three days later, Wang Xuan received a message from Arthur that it was expected to reach the vicinity of Natsu in about a day at the speed of the pirates, that is, the attack would be tomorrow evening or the evening after tomorrow.

Such a big war is about to break out.

The pirate side has an obvious advantage, with 6,000 troops and more than 40 warships, while Wang Xuan's side has a strength of about 1,500 troops, plus the guards in Nazai Port, the strength is not more than 2,000, but fortunately, the defensive side is well prepared!

Early the next morning.

Wang Xuan called a few trained captains, "The Dreadnought and the Great White Shark 1-4 have all sailed out, go to the place we have arranged in advance and wait, and immediately return to the sea after seeing the smoke rising from Na Scratch, block the entrance to the port, and resolutely prevent the pirates from escaping!" ”

"Yes!" The five men stood up and saluted together, and finally hurried out.

On the other side, the port.

"Quick, get all the spare shells ready, put them within easy reach, and fight hard when the pirates come!"

A group of 'sailors' in British naval uniforms were busy under command preparing for the night's big battle.

There are nearly 300 large and small guns in the harbor, all of which have been dismantled from a dozen broken pirate ships, and 700 'British Royal Sailors' and 500 guards in the harbor have begun to recuperate.

Wang Xuan looked around and called someone over again, "Send someone with an alarm bell to the highest reef outside the port, and if you find pirates coming, ring the bell immediately, and leave a boat below to prepare for the alarm bell, and pass the warning training one by one, so as not to make a beacon fire and prevent pirates from discovering it in advance." ”

At dusk the next day, on a reef outside the harbor, the sentry rang the alarm bell violently, and then the bell was passed down one by one to the interior of the harbor.

Immediately, all the sailors began to stuff the chambers with gunpowder and shells, and the firing range was adjusted in advance, and the angles that could hit that point had been strictly calculated, which was also the basis for the accuracy of the firepower of the coastal defense artillery.

In less than half an hour, you could see a little bit of a larger mast in the distance at the port, and slowly, a large group of warships began to approach the port, more than 40 warships, almost filling most of the port!

Looking at the fluttering skeleton flag, the uninformed people in the port suddenly became confused, these were specially arranged by Wang Xuan not to be notified, to let the pirates see the chaos of the port, these pirate leaders are more suspicious guys, in case they run away at the last moment, it is almost impossible to find such a good opportunity in the future!

The chaos of the crowd on the harbor naturally made the lookouts on the pirate ship look at it clearly, and the 6,000 or so people on the pirate ship began to shout together, they were neither neat nor unified, but this chaotic roar revealed the desire to rob and the expectation of killing.

The more chaotic this is, the more it becomes clear that these are heinous pirates, and their arrival will bring bloodshed and disaster.

With the influx of pirate ships, the harbor was already empty, and all the sailors and guards were waiting for the signal to start the attack.

Wang Xuan stood on the lighthouse and wiped the sweat from his hands, he was calculating the distance of the pirates, he had to wait a little longer, when all the pirate ships were in range, leaving enough time for the return of the Dreadnought.

It was also the first time he had experienced such a large-scale war!

The nervousness is understandable!

In this battle, he gambled almost everything he got in the Caribbean, and when he won, he ruled the Caribbean, lost, and half a year's hard work came to naught!

Five hundred meters, Wang Xuan first ordered to light a beacon fire, and now that the beacon fire is lit at this distance, it will no longer be alerted by pirates, and it is time to send a message to the battleships such as the Dreadnought that are ambushed outside!

300 meters, 200 meters...... The pirate ship approached the port little by little, the front one was already less than two hundred, and the one at the back was also close to five hundred meters.

Picking up the short fire gun in his hand, Wang Xuan took a deep breath and slammed the trigger towards the sky!

'Bang' a reddish flare shot straight into the sky at a height of 30 meters...... Yes, it's a bit short, but it's at this range.

However, this is enough, and the height of the observation beacon itself is enough for everyone in the entire harbor to see clearly!

The signal flare was raised high, and in just an instant, the entire port came to life, and the sound of 'firing cannons' and 'firing cannons' resounded throughout the port.

Then, a series of non-stop roars of "boom, boom, boom......" exploded throughout Natsu, perhaps the most artillery ever ignited at the same time in the Caribbean.

In addition to the 6-pounder and 3-pounder guns responsible for shore defense and close combat, more than 200 guns of 12 pounder or more were ignited at the same time, and the accuracy was terrifying when the firing range had been determined long ago.

The dense cannonballs streaked across the sky like a meteor shower, which was the most wonderful picture in Wang Xuan's opinion.
