"Oh no! Oh no, helper!"

A widow ran to Gao Shishu breathlessly, and said intermittently, "...... The government, the government has an ambush in the port, there is no cargo handover at all, and the cargo boxes on the ship are all empty, we have been tricked!"

"The government has dispatched a large number of warships and a lot of firearms, it looks like they are going to wipe us out! The brothers who played the vanguard lost nearly half of them, and they also lost several ships, and they saw that the officers and soldiers were about to chase after them, what should we do?"

"What?!"

Gao Shishu's face changed when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed dark, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, there is an ambush, I know it's not so easy......

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and decisively ordered, "Retreat immediately! Let's go back to Mingsha Island now, and get ready to go to Dongying!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Gao Shishu's retreat order, the Japanese began to flee in large numbers, driving straight to Mingsha Island. At the same time, the officers and men of the port moved quickly and pursued the Japanese pirates.

Perhaps the situation changed too suddenly, the Japanese were unexpected, and they were already at a loss, so they were in chaos for a while, and they retreated in an orderly manner, and at every turn, lone ships were caught up by officers and soldiers, and then killed cleanly.

By the time the pirates returned to the waters near Mingsha Island, more than half of the number of people had been lost, and the ships had been damaged to varying degrees, and a group of people fled back in a panic, like lost dogs.

"Stop!"

Seeing that Mingsha Island was getting closer and closer, and the Japanese ship was in front of them, the helmsman stopped moving forward and trotted back to report: "Grandpa Guo, we can't go any further, there are reefs everywhere around Mingsha Island, we are not familiar with the environment, and if we move forward rashly, we will run into a reef and sink the ship."

Su Qi narrowed his eyes, looked at the situation in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "I see, we are only three or four miles away from the Japanese ship, which is not too far. Can't we just follow them or follow their course?"

"It won't work, Grandpa Guo." The helmsman shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The sea is different from the land, if you fight on land, it is very easy to leave traces wherever the enemy goes, such as footprints on the road, overwhelmed grass, etc., we just need to follow the tracks."

"However, the sea is vast, and there is water on all sides, so if you change the helmsman with little experience, you may be able to lose your way directly. Now we seem to be able to follow the route of the Wako, but when we really get to the place, we can't tell which is which."

"Mingsha Island is surrounded by reefs, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life if you hit the reef and wreck. Unless there is an experienced veteran to lead the way, the little one will never dare to drive the boat over like this."

Gu Yunji's mood sank when he heard this: "You are one of the most experienced helmsmen among the officers and soldiers in Zhejiang, if you say that you are not sure, then others will not be able to do it." It's not that there are no veterans who know the way at the moment, but it's a pity that they are all on the side of the Japanese Kou."

Su Qi paced back and forth on the deck for a few steps, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of any effective way, so he simply ordered: "In that case, then let's just line up all the boats and surround Mingsha Island, if we can't get in, then they don't want to come out."

"Don't you like to hide, then let's spend it with them, and see who can consume whom!"

On this side of Mingsha Island, the Japanese are gloomy and bleak, and the atmosphere is even more depressing than in previous days.

The original intention was to do another vote before leaving, so as to accumulate some family funds for the future trip to Dongying, but I didn't want to steal chickens and rice, and I almost lost my life if I didn't grab anything.

One of the Japanese who witnessed his companion being killed by a musket in a tragic manner was on the verge of a breakdown, and choked up with red eyes, "...... I said I couldn't do that...... Now that you have found a way out, you can just go directly, why do you have to provoke the government......

"The result is good now, what important goods are handed over, and the port of Ningbo is full of fat sheep...... There is nothing at all, that is the trap under the government! We're stupid, aren't we...... Now that the officers and soldiers have surrounded Mingsha Island, we can't fly out even if we have wings, and now we are really going to die......

The other people are in a similar state, not in absoluteness

Looking at the edge, he felt remorse, cursed the government for a while, and cried for a while, hating himself for why he had to embark on this wrong path in the first place, and he should have known that he should be a good citizen.

For a time, the Japanese were crying, scolding, and noisy, making people upset.

"That's enough!"

Gao Shishu shouted, his eyes turned red, and his whole body was full of anger: "Now you know that this shouldn't be that? What did his father do earlier! If you want to die, die far away, don't mourn in front of Lao Tzu! Dongying's ship is almost here, and Lao Tzu still wants to live!"

As soon as these words came out, the noise around them stopped abruptly.

A widow still had undried tears on his face, and his eyes were full of astonishment: "...... What? Dongying's ship is almost here? Then we don't have to wait to die?"

However, the bystanders quickly poured cold water: "What can I do when Dongying's ship arrives? The officers and soldiers have already surrounded Mingsha Island, we can't get out, and the people from Dongying can't get in, how can we go?"

Gao Shishu's eyes were gloomy: "That's why we need to plan and discuss it."

As he spoke, he spread out the map and demonstrated it to everyone: "Mingsha Island is very large, and the government has dozens of ships, saying that it is encircling the island, but in fact the encirclement is not tight, and the distance between the ships is quite far, which gives us an opportunity."

"The ships of the government are mainly coming from the southwest, and when the time comes, we will divide our troops into three routes, and the first team will send a large number of ships to make a false noise, and directly confront the officers and soldiers in the southwest to attract their attention. In order to cope with the battle, they must have to transfer ships from nearby, and the encirclement in the south and west of Mingsha Island is basically loose."

"Then they divided into a second team and walked from the northwest, breaking through on the one hand, and maneuvering with officers and soldiers on the other to buy time for the third team. At this time, the fighting was basically concentrated in the west and north of the island, and the defenses on the east and south sides were quite weak. And our third team, which is also the main evacuation team, will go from the east."

"Dongying's ship will be waiting for us in the northeast, and after the third team comes out from the east, they will go directly to the north to find Dongying's ship. After the first team successfully attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, they fought and retreated, slowly moved to the northwest, joined up with the second team, and finally had to go around to the northeast, and we went to Dongying together."

After saying the plan in one breath, Gao Shishu straightened up and said, "If everyone has no opinion on this, we will start discussing the division of labor."

At a cursory glance, the plan seemed to be pretty good, but the pirates looked at each other and didn't notice anything wrong for the time being. One person suddenly thought of something, and looked at Gao Shishu suspiciously: "What about you? Which team are you going to go on?"
