Even after confirming the identity of the invaders, Li Luotou and Shinobu Motegi still did not give up the idea of resisting at the first time, they were counting on this menacing fleet to be just a good thing to do from outside, at least they had to try it first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter all, the Haisha Gang is also a high-ranking armed force in the East China Sea, and there have been many armed conflicts of all sizes, and there are many outlaws licking blood on the knife in the gang, so how can I have the strength to fight. The two of them ordered all the ships anchored in the harbor to rush out of the harbor as much as possible, and offered a large reward as an incentive.

Seeing that he could not persuade the two men to die, Gomez had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and hurriedly organized his men to assemble, and at the same time sent people to the small port on the east side of the island to get the ships that were preparing to flee. Gomez had a musket team of 300 men, more than 30 gunners and seven or eight artillery pieces, which was considered the elite of the Haisha Gang's land combat power. However, he did not want to command these people to make a final resistance on the island, but wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take these people to find an opportunity to withdraw from Liuheng Island.

Gomez knew that even if he threw all his elites into the battlefield, at most he could temporarily delay the offensive of the Haihan people, but it would never be possible to reverse the decline of the Haisha Gang. Staying on the island and resisting stubbornly has no chance of victory, and it is wise to retain as much strength as possible for the future.

But the situation deteriorated faster than he could have reacted, the ships anchored in the harbor could not rush out at all, and the powerful firepower of the Haihan fleet was not an offensive that the pirates could resist at the risk of their lives. In a very short exchange of fire, the desperate leaders of the Sand Gang saw their sailboat begin to capsize after being hit by constant artillery fire at the mouth of the harbor. The envisaged scenario of surrounding the enemy ship with the advantage of the number of ships, and then jumping to the gang to complete the capture of the ship has never appeared at all.

Li Luotou and Shinobu Motegi watched in amazement on the dock as their sailboat rushed out resolutely, and then turned into a pile of broken planks floating on the surface of the sea under cannon fire. The only thing to be thankful for is that they did not personally board the ship and go to sea to direct the battle, otherwise they would probably have become minced meat eaten by the fish in the sea. At this time, they remembered the warnings Gomez made yesterday, but at this time it was too late, and it was impossible to see that the offensive of the Haihan people was no longer acceptable, and it was clear that they had the intention of blocking the Haisha Gang on the island and killing them.

The men sent by Gomez to the eastern port to give orders had not yet returned, but those who had come from there to ask for help had arrived first. When Gomez heard that the port to the east had also been attacked, he knew something was wrong and sent two other leaders to inform them to abandon the port and retreat inland to the island.

It only took about an hour and a half for the coalition fleet to basically control the situation in the harbors of the Haisha Gang, and the pirates either fled back to the harbor or surrendered on the spot, and it was difficult to form organized resistance. Takahashi Nan led a company of army to land at the dock that Xu Ke and Zhao Cheng had reconnoitred a few days ago, and then, under Zhao Cheng's guidance, quickly found the entrance to the cave casino.

At this time, the Haisha gang on the dock had fled and surrendered, and there were no armed men on duty at the entrance, and the soldiers entered the cave smoothly, and found that it was also a mess. There are also many people in the cave who are not aware of the situation outside, fighting for the broken silver on the gambling table.

Takahashi Minami was not interested in the scattered silver, he wanted to know the location of the secret silver vault used by the Seasand Gang to store the casino, which was one of the main tasks of the operation.

"Zhao Cheng!" Takahashi Nan ordered loudly: "Find the silver vault before dark!"

Zhao Cheng's luck was indeed good, and a moment after receiving this order, his men caught a small leader of the Haisha Gang on the dock, and this guy happened to be the one he recognized - when he and Xu Ke came to Liuheng Island to reconnoiter a few days ago, it was the leader nicknamed "Seventh Brother" who took them into this cave casino.

"It turned out to be you!" When the seventh brother was escorted to Zhao Cheng, he also recognized this face for the first time. However, at this time, Zhao Cheng was no longer dressed as the ship boss at that time, but in a gray combat uniform, and the expression on his face could not even be seen at the slightest flattery.

"Zou Qi, meet again!" This time Zhao Cheng will no longer be called "Seventh Brother", and directly called his real name: "What do I ask next, you'd better tell the truth, don't play tricks, don't go around in circles with me, if you want to be smart or pretend to be a tough guy, then you have to suffer, do you understand?"

"The surname is Zhao, how can I, Zou Qi, be a greedy person who is afraid of death, hehe, if you want to force a confession, you will try it, when Lao Tzu has never been in prison and eaten a board?"

Zhao Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this, he had only caught such a pirate leader in his hands so far, and a lot of important information had to fall on him, so he had to pry open his mouth as soon as possible.

"You have a hard mouth, just don't regret it later. Zhao Cheng turned his head sideways and ordered: "Notify the people from the secret service to come over and let them deal with this guy." ”

The secret service mentioned by Zhao Cheng is not an agency under the military, but is subordinate to the field service department of the Haihan Security Department. Many of the people in this department are veterans who have served in the Six Gates for many years, and for various reasons, they have switched to Haihan to serve. Among them, there are naturally also torture experts who are familiar with the methods of torture, and this time the Haihan Northern Expedition to Zhejiang, the Ministry of Security also sent some people to accompany the army, in order to come in handy at this special time.

After a while, someone came to Zhao Cheng with two middle-aged men, these two people were thin and thin, and their eyebrows were vaguely similar. One of them introduced himself: "In Xiaguanyuan, this is my brother Guanping, who belongs to the Special Service Department of the Ministry of Security, and I am here to report." ”

Zhao Cheng nodded and said: "I need you to pry open this guy's mouth as soon as possible, he knows some very important information, I can only give you a stick of incense time, I hope you do your best." I just need information, and his life doesn't matter. ”

The official arched his hand and said, "Without further ado, then I'll do it next." ”

Guan Yuan and Guan Ping walked to Zou Qi's side, looked him up and down, and their eyes stared at Zou Qi's hair. He wanted to scold himself two more sentences to strengthen his courage, but when he met Guan Yuan's eyes, the gray pupils like dead people made Zou Qi shudder, and he couldn't scold when he came to his mouth.

"He is five feet three inches long, his muscles and bones are strong, and the wounds of his flesh and skin may not be effective. That Guan Ping looked at it and suddenly started to get started, poking and pinching Zou Qi's thighs, arms and other places, and couldn't stop muttering to himself.

Guan Yuan responded: "The military master said, it doesn't matter if you die, then you can choose a method that can achieve quick results." Please help you, find a sturdy chair to tie him up, tie his hands and feet apart, and try to tie it as strong as possible. ”

Zou Qi heard it faintly in his heart, and he didn't know what the two people who were like living ghosts were going to do with him, but listening to this tone, it really didn't seem like a good sign. Several soldiers had rushed up to hold him down by the hands and feet, and tied him to a chair, and even his waist and forehead were tightly tied to the back of the chair, and the joints of his body were almost unable to move except for his fingers and toes.

The two brothers, Guan Yuan and Guan Ping, each carried a leather doctor's bag - this thing was still passed on from two foreigners, Morgan and Johnson, and later not only did many barefoot doctors trained at the Sanya Medical School have one in their hands, but even some other industries that need to carry a variety of tools with them have begun to use this large-capacity, thick and durable leather handbag.

The two of them placed the leather bag on the table next to them and opened it, and then began to take out various gadgets and some special utensils of unknown names one by one. Among them are knives, hammers, axes, saws, chisels, drills, hooks, drills, pliers, ropes and other tools, each of which often has several different models and sizes and even different materials, and there are also some glass vials with unknown potions, spread out on the table and placed a large piece, it is hard to believe that they can carry so many things in those two leather bags.

Guan Yuan took out a steel needle, which was more than a foot long, shook it in front of Zou Qi and said: "Next, I will nail this steel needle from your finger into it, and slowly thread it along the bone meridians to your elbow, if you can bear it, I will nail another one, if you don't say anything after the ten fingers are pierced, I will replace him." ”

Guan Ping held a small hand-cranked drill that was only four inches long in his hand, and said with an expressionless face: "I will use this thing to drill through the joints of your hands and feet in turn, and then sprinkle the raised insect eggs into the holes in your joints, and after only two or three days, the maggots will take shape, burrow into your bones and devour your bone marrow, I am afraid you can't imagine the taste." ”

Zou Qi's face turned pale after hearing this description, and he thought that the Haihan people's method of extorting confessions by torture was nothing more than traditional methods such as fists, feet, and whips, and he never imagined that the Haihan people would use such evil and cruel methods. Although he was not very afraid of death, he did not want to be tortured so harshly before he died.

Zhao Cheng only waited for a cup of tea, and Guan Yuan came out of the house, arched his hand at him and said, "Fortunately, if you don't disgrace your life, that person is willing to say it." ”

"So fast?" Zhao Cheng was also slightly surprised: "How many punishments did you give him?"

The corners of Guan Yuan's mouth raised: "I didn't go to the punishment, I just showed him the torture tools, and then scared and scared, this guy was intimidated." ”

"So powerful?" Zhao Cheng couldn't believe that the pirate leader who was shouting just now had actually been cowardly before he was sentenced. However, he didn't care about asking about the details now, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you two for helping, when the matter is over, I will find time to invite you two to dinner." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Guan Yuan also clenched his fists and said goodbye: "Our brothers and sisters still need to rush to other places to deal with things, so we'll see you later." ”

Half an hour later, the army led by Takahashi Nan rushed to the location mentioned by Zou Qi, and here they ran into the Haisha gang who were carrying their belongings, and immediately started an encounter.

The silver vault of the Haisha Gang is located in a mountain col, and the Haihan troops climbed over the mountain beam, just on the side of the Haisha Gang's team, and the terrain disadvantage alone was enough to make the Haisha Gang unlucky.

Haihan's side participated in the battle, with the special operations battalion as the main body, and had rich combat experience, so he did not pounce on the pirates at the moment, but immediately formed a formation and used muskets to shoot at the pirates who were messing around. On the pirate side, there were also many musketeers, but in the confusion, they couldn't organize a neat gun formation, and the scattered bullets could only rely on pure luck if they wanted to hit a specific target at a distance of 100 meters. As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the pirates' ranks huddled in the col fell in rows like ears of rice blown down by a gale.

After four rounds of firing, the pirates could not bear the casualties and began to retreat, abandoning the silver box that had not yet been taken from the col. Takahashi Nan knew that these remnants had no way to leave Liuheng Island, and he was not in a hurry to pursue them at the moment, but just asked his subordinates to immediately control this area, and sealed the seized silver and the secret silver vault in the mountain pass, waiting for the relevant departments to send someone to come and count.

The Haisha Gang, who had hurriedly retreated to the interior of the island, did not get a chance to breathe, and they soon ran into the Sanlin Gang who had taken cover from the northwest of the island. After receiving a secret letter from Lin Xing from Shipu Port a few days ago, the Sanlin Gang made preparations for today's operation and threw almost all the fighters into the task of going south to intercept the Haisha Gang. As soon as the leaders of the Haisha Gang saw that they were members of the Sanlin Gang, it was not difficult to speculate that the other party was colluding with the Haihan people, otherwise it would not have been possible to kill the Haisha Gang so quickly.

There is not much difference in the armed level of the two groups, although the Haisha Gang has a little more people, but they have lost a lot of elites in the previous naval battles, and now there are not as many people who fled to the northwest as the Sanlin Gang participated in the battle. One side is to be able to fight for more combat merits in exchange for the opportunity to hug Haihan's thighs, and the other side is to fight to the death in order to survive, both to get rid of the other party as fast as possible, and there is no room left in the fight.

At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the three harbors of the Haisha Gang in the southern part of Liuheng Island were all cleared, and more than 1,000 Haisha Gang personnel and more than 700 other outsiders were captured.

However, according to the confessions of the captives, there are at least two or three thousand members of the Haisha Gang on the island, of which there are still about 1,000 fighters. Fortunately, all the stations of the Haisha Gang in the sea have been occupied by the coalition forces, and these people can only flee to the mountains and northwest of the island, and the chances of leaving Liuheng Island are very small.

Before dark, the messenger of the Sanlin Gang sent a message that they had fought several battles with the Haisha Gang in the middle of Liuheng Island, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and implored the coalition forces to send troops to help as soon as possible after dawn tomorrow.
