Urgently assemble and judge the situation in an instant, this is very likely to be the ship of the Japanese Invaders, because not long ago, four Japanese ships were destroyed. It was specially ordered that the eight prisoners, headed by Oizumi Kamero, be locked up and executed immediately if there was any change.

Ordered Shi Lang to prepare for battle, deployed and commanded three and the original six battleships on the island, a total of ten warships, each gunner entered the battery and waited for the order to fire, the firearms team and the archery team entered the defensive array, and they sat on the island to prevent the enemy from climbing to the island.

Shi Lang set up the fleet and set it up, come, this will be your burial place. The two cliffs of Butterfly Island are like two iron tongs, with ten generals' artillery fixed on the left and right, and two arrow towers. In addition, the rapids around Butterfly Island are rapid, and it is very likely that the opponent will have no return.

There were a total of thirty-four warships, and the flags of the Japanese could be seen clearly, and the figures on the ships were shaking, each ship was about sixty people, and there were nearly two thousand Japanese sailors in total, and the enemy was menacing, probably stealing some secrets.

The enemy ship entered the range of the artillery on the cliff, Xiao Lang'er gave the order, fired, twenty cannons fired together, the cannon fired angry flames, very conspicuous in the dark night, the shells flew towards the enemy ship, only the sound of explosions was heard, the shells exploded, flying out of the gravel and pieces of iron, bombarded the enemy ship, and some parts fell into the sea.

Three enemy ships were sunk by the dense artillery fire, and they sank to the bottom of the sea in the light of fire, and some of the fallen Japanese were paddling desperately. Five or six more battleships were damaged to varying degrees.

Sixty good men of the water ghost team went into the water to scuttle the enemy's ship, and by the way, strangled the enemy who fell into the water, and blisters appeared on the sea.

The enemy ship drove towards the Daming treasure ship, there were more than a dozen of them surrounded, entered the range of the Daming treasure ship, Shi Lang made a move, the eighteen cannons on the port side fired at the same time, the Daming treasure ship was relatively high, shot far, the enemy ship was shrouded in the blow of artillery, the sound of shell explosion was endless, the smoke and flames were rising, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the sky above Butterfly Island.

At this time, seven or eight more ships were hit by guns, and the sound of mourning and crying continued, at this time, Shi Lang ordered the other nine warships to open fire together, and the remaining ships of the enemy also opened fire. In an instant, artillery shells flew sideways in the air, each with casualties.

The artillery on the battery had already loaded its ammunition and fired, and the enemy ships entered a sea of fire. In less than an hour, the enemy ships had lost seventeen battleships, and our side had lost one.

Seeing that the opportunity was not good, the enemy commander divided two warships and went around the island, trying to flank the front and rear.

Two enemy ships drove towards the back of the island, and after ten minutes, they crashed into the reef with a loud noise, and the ship was destroyed, and fortunately some escapees rowed towards the island, and there was a pirate squad behind the island, and the thieves who rushed at the head were cut into two pieces with a knife before they could stand firm. A dozen enemies knelt on the ground, trying to be taken prisoner.

The captain of the pirate detachment ordered all of them to be tied up and sent to the prison of the security bureau on the island, which made a great achievement, rewarding five taels of silver for each person killed and six taels for each captive. The seven members of the squad were sent out.

When the enemy commander heard two loud noises, he knew that something bad was wrong, and the sneak attack tonight was not pleased, and if he went down, it would be completely over. With a wave of the flag, he ordered the remaining fifteen warships to evacuate.

But fifty or so water spirits had already touched the bottom of their ship, and the bottom of the ship was chiseled with steel, and the boat leaked, causing a panic, and the commander of each ship ordered the hole to be repaired and disembarked.

Shi Lang had already seen the battleship, rode the wind and waves, and soon pursued the enemy ship, firing shells, five more battleships were sunk, and three battleships were heavily damaged. The commander of the Japanese Kou was completely desperate, grief, I Miyamoto Sanzang has been crisscrossing the sea for more than 20 years, and has not tasted a defeat, but I didn't expect it to be like this today, I will cut myself when I pull out my katana, and my subordinates persuade me to leave Qingshan without worrying about no firewood.

The remaining ships were slowly sinking, and as soon as a hundred sailors in Xiangxi rushed up, engaged in hand-to-hand combat, Tie Xing's broadsword waved left and right, and there were more than a dozen of them who fell to the ground, and there were only a dozen people left in a boatload, and the others knelt down and surrendered when they saw that the situation was not good.

Only eight of the 100 men under his command were lost, which can be described as a complete victory.

Miyamoto Sanzo stood on the deck, looking at Shi Lang who was leaping over, wanting to maintain his last dignity, his white beard fluttered, and he pulled out his long katana.

The duel between the two commanders, the others stopped, "You win, you don't have to die!" Shi Lang pointed his sword at Miyamoto.

Miyamoto showed off his shiny katana, and slashed at it with a single sword, extremely fast and powerful. Click, Shi Lang raised his sword, and the two swords collided, and they were evenly matched, "Yes, you are still worth fighting!" Shi Lang said.

The two slashed each other and slashed more than a dozen moves. The ship's mast and mast rope were all cut and pressed towards Shi Lang, and at the same time, Miyamoto delivered a fatal blow, looking at the fallen mast, and the others dodged.

Shi Lang grabbed the cable, his body flew up, and at the same time he swung a knife, Miyamoto's neck was broken, and he fell to the ground unwillingly, staring at his empty eyes.

Shi Lang jumped to the edge of the deck and pointed his sword at the remaining thieves, who threw their weapons on the ship.

At the end of the battle, Xiao Lang'er and the artillery stood on the cliff, watching this scene, showing the joy of the victor.

One hundred and three Japanese were taken prisoner, two enemy ships were captured, twenty-eight were sunk, two were sunk by hitting the reef, and two fled. Victory!

Liu Jin's father-in-law had already written a battle report, commanded the battle with Shen Lang, and won a great victory in the naval battle, and handed it over to a cronie to transmit it.

At this time, it was just dawn, cleaning the battlefield, collecting resources, allowing another day off on the island, rewarding all the sailors and pirates on the island, at least five taels of silver per person, Shi Lang and Tie Xing were the richest, five hundred taels per person, the crowd was excited, morale was high, and today you can still be in a day of debauchery, touching the bulging purse, and smiling.
