Off the coast of Wigan at night,

A mass of ships was silently moored on the sea, the waves crashing against the heavy hull from time to time, and swaying with a rumbling sound.

The ship was unexpectedly quiet,

The pitch-black deck casts a cold glow.

It was a steel knife with a cold glow.

One by one, the pirates leaned silently against the side of the ship, their eyes fixed on the distant firelight of the harbor.

The sound of cannons and firecrackers was faint, and from time to time there were shouts of killing that came into the ears from far and near.

Everyone watched with bated breath, the fire on the ship had long been extinguished, and only the light scattered by the moon on the edge of the clouds could distinguish each other.

No one spoke, and everyone was silent.

It was as if they had forgotten who was responsible for the terrible shouting of the port.

The merchant ships of the Vigan Chamber of Commerce were still bombarding non-stop, and even the pirates hiding in the distant sea could see the light of the cannon fire.

On the ship's floor, Li Zihong, the big boss of the Fish and Dragon Gang, was watching indifferently,

"I didn't expect this Vigan to be a hard bone." Li Zihong said indifferently.

The second-in-command Li Ghost on the side shook his head, and just when the armed merchant ships of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce shelled the dock, the ships of the Ichthyosaurus Gang tacitly retreated.

"Big brother, it's been a quarter of an hour, let's send a clipper to pick up the three masters." Ghost Li sighed slightly and said softly.

I thought that taking down Vigan would be a hand-to-hand thing.

Who would have thought of twists and turns.

"This good show of Wigan and Mingren dog-eat-dog is rare, it's a pity that there are dozens of good players."

Li Zihong was very happy to see the Vigan and Ming people fighting,

Although he completely lost this night attack, he also caught up with dozens of good players.

However, it's still good to see this dog-eat-dog drama.

At least it's a good thing for the Ichthyosaurs.

At this time, the Vigan dock was already full of wailing, and the dock was ruined.

Several merchant ships docked too close had already capsized in the fire.

Zhao Tian rushed out of the harbor with the remaining seven or eight brothers who jumped into the clipper boat that was hiding on the side.

The Ming army was not stupid, and Liu Yu would rather have pirates seize the dock than let the Ming army be beaten under the ships and artillery of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce.

The fire burned all night, and the wharf, which was controlled by the Ming army, was completely scrapped.

Along with the burndown, more than a dozen merchant ships of all sizes were burned.

Other merchant ships also had different losses.

"My ship." Boss Zhao ran to the dock early in the morning, and after seeing the tragic situation of the dock, his eyes went black and fell straight down.

The accompanying servant hurriedly pinched the person and poured cold water on him before he woke him up.

"Lord Liu, you have to be the master of the small people." Ship Master Zhao didn't care about anything at the moment, grabbed Liu Quan's trouser leg, and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

Liu Quan's face was pale, and he looked at the dock for a long time without saying a word.

The soldiers on the side hurriedly pulled away the owner of Zhao.

The fire burned all night, and the corpses on the ground had long been burned to charcoal, some pirates, some Ming soldiers.

"Casualties, have the losses been counted?" Seeing that Liu Quan was stunned and silent, Liu Yu asked the co-chairman on the side.

"The First and Second Associations, 33 brothers, more than 20 brothers were badly burned, and seven or eight ships were destroyed." The co-ordinator said, with a dark face.

Liu Yu nodded, and then looked at Su Langqing.

Last night, he and Wuda were clearing the accounts on the dock overnight, but the pirates suddenly attacked, and the Ming army on the fort beat the gongs and drums, so they ran out.

At this moment, looking at the dock that collapsed more than half, Su Langqing also felt a pain in his flesh.

"Those burned Ming soldiers will please you."

The Ming army did not have herbal medicine for burns, and even military doctors were very few.

In the previous Ming Dynasty, the herbs obtained from the local Ilok natives and the Tulang Zhongcai barely solved the situation of the Ming army's wounded soldiers.

And now that the Ming army has taken Vigan, it is natural to get a better solution for the wounded soldiers.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll arrange for Lang Zhong to deal with the burned soldiers here." Su Langqing glanced at the soldiers of the Ming army lying on the ground, and said with the discomfort in his stomach.

"Hmm," Liu Yu glanced at Su Langqing gratefully,

"The silver taels needed to heal the wounds, let's go to the mansion and get them later." Liu Yu said.

Not far away, the merchant ships of the Chamber of Commerce began to slowly sail into the dock.

There is more than one dock in Vigan, but this is the only one controlled by the Ming army.

The wharf controlled by the Chamber of Commerce is located on the east side of the port, and the water level is deeper, which is more suitable for large ships.

"Uda, go talk to the Chamber of Commerce about why you're shelling the port." Liu Yu held back his anger and gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"Yes, sir." Uda also clearly felt the anger that permeated the atmosphere.

At this moment, he didn't dare to say anything more, and hurried in with his head down.

"Where the hell did these pirates come from?" Looking at the charred corpses that were cleaned out of the dock, Liu Quandao.

His tone was cold, filled with an indescribable tyranny.

"My lord, it could be a ship from the Ichthyosaurus." Su Langqing leaned in at this time and said softly.

These days, there are many merchant ships in Wigan that have been robbed by the Ichthyosaurus gang at sea, and naturally some ships have fled back to Vigan.

These ships that were lucky enough to pick up a life came back, and the sailors on board naturally recognized the flag of the Ichthyosaur Gang.

However, because the Ming army ignored the looting of the ships that secretly went to sea, the relevant information was naturally shelved.

And the Ming army naturally tasted the bitterness.

"Let the artillery association bring the artillery to the port," Liu Yu said to one of his own soldiers.

Those forts that were originally abandoned by the Spaniards were reused by the Ming army, but the damaged artillery of the Ming army did not make up for the losses.

For the first time, Tiger Town was already short of artillery, and the heavy artillery it relied on was only the six nine-pounder Saiko cannons.

Second, due to the naval battle between the pirates and the Spaniards at Laoag, the Ming army relaxed its vigilance against the port.

However, the battery with the tooth extracted still played its part.

If it weren't for the Ming army in the fort that night, I'm afraid the pirates would have entered Vigan long ago.

It's not too late to make amends,

Liu Yu hurriedly ordered people to pull the six nine-pounder Saikou cannons that were originally deployed on the Vigan city wall to the fort.

Although the nine-pounder Saikou cannon was forcibly pulled as a coastal defense gun, it was a bit of a duck to be put on the shelf.

But it's better than not coming at all.

Liu Yu also had no choice, the Ming army lacked everything, and now it has lost so many elite soldiers.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu is also on fire in his belly.

At this time, as a negotiating party, Uda also ran back.

"My lord, a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding." Uda ran out of breath and shouted desperately from a long distance.

"Misunderstanding," Liu Yu looked at the merchant ships docked on the dock not far away, and smiled coldly.

"My lord, the Chamber of Commerce said that they were worried that their dock would be robbed by pirates, so they made this decision to shell the dock to the west." Uda finally ran back.

"For causing so many casualties to the Ming army, the Chamber of Commerce is also to blame, and decided to pay the Ming army's pension." Uda felt that the Chamber of Commerce had enough to pull down his face, so he hurriedly ran back.

After all, the sudden attack of the pirates was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

For him, the behavior of the Chamber of Commerce can also be said to be in common sense.
