The east side of the island is steep and slippery rock walls, even if ships dock here, it is difficult to land, as long as a small number of men can be sent to defend it, and the west side of the island is covered with large and small reefs, which is not suitable for ships to moor.

The most absolute is the north side of Dongsha Island, which looks like there is no problem on the surface, but in fact, there are many reefs under the water, and the general small clippers and flat-bottomed sand boats are no problem, but the slightly larger pointed bottom sea boats will be hit. At the beginning of the encirclement and suppression of Dongsha Island, the officers and soldiers suffered a great loss on this sea, and lost two lucky ships.

Therefore, only the south side of Dongsha Island is suitable for large ships to enter and exit, and Chen Sipan's group of pirates built a wharf and a water village here, and also built a three-layer fortification, which is quite tightly defended.

When the big boat that Xie Erjian and the others were riding sailed to a distance of about one mile from Dongsha Island, the water village in the south of the island suddenly opened, and the ten-bow clipper rushed out of it, sailing towards the big ship with murderous spirit.

"Be careful, the pirates are coming!" Zhu Kun, who was observing the enemy situation on the bow of the big ship, looked stunned, and at the same time clenched the handle of the knife.

This belligerent Zhu Xianling has already taken off his official robe and black gauze hat at this moment, and like Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian and others, he is shirtless, plus this guy is strong and tall, at first glance he is a martial artist, who would have expected that such a guy would be a civil official from Jinshi.

Xie Erjian said calmly: "Lord Zhu, don't worry, the other party doesn't look like he's going to go to war, see the situation clearly before making a move." ”

At this time, the distance from the island is still a little far, and it is obviously not a good idea to do it at this time, after all, there is only one large ship, and it is undoubtedly quite a loss to fight on the sea in an isolated situation and many small boats.

The pirates were obviously extremely experienced in combat, and as soon as they approached, the ten bow clippers immediately spread out to both sides, three on the left and three on the left and right holding the flanks of the big ship, and the other four bows went behind the big ship to cut off the retreat, and two of the fast boats also lit the firewood stacked in the bow of the ship, so that the big ship did not dare to sail back.

The bow of these clippers has two sharp iron drills, as long as they collide, they will be firmly poked into the hull of the big ship, and the firewood on the bow will immediately burn the big ship, and the people on the big ship can only be killed in the fire except to jump into the sea.

Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian both looked solemn when they saw this, and they were hesitating whether to strike first, when they suddenly saw a fast boat cruising to the bow of the big ship, and a pirate on board shouted extremely arrogantly: "Listen to the king on the ship, obediently follow Lao Tzu's ass and dock, otherwise you will become a roasted king." ”

As soon as the pirate finished shouting, a little man next to him immediately shouted again in the Japanese language, probably because he was worried that the big ship was a Japanese and could not understand the language of the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong glanced at each other in surprise when they heard this, so they were in the middle of it, they were having a headache about how to land, hey, nine times out of ten, the pirates took a fancy to this big ship, and they were worried that the fierce battle would damage the ship.

"Dare to ask which man is in charge of the island? We came all the way from Lingnan, there was a storm on the road, the ship was broken, and we had no intention of breaking into the precious land. Qi Jingtong shouted loudly.

"Lao Tzu doesn't care where you come from, you have to obey the rules when you enter our territory, don't talk nonsense, first dock and hand over your weapons, otherwise the ship will be burned." The pirate on the clipper replied viciously, and told his men to prop the boat towards the dock.

Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong looked at each other and smiled, and Zhu Kun, a militant, was even more eager to try.

Next, the big ship followed the pirate's clipper ship in front of it and slowly approached Dongsha Island and approached the pier.

At this time, there were already a large number of pirates on the dock with miscellaneous weapons, the number of which was estimated to be about 100 people, and the water village next to it also continued to have clippers sailing out, surrounding the big ships, and even pulling up iron chains to block the dock.

Looking at the battle in front of them, both Rao is Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong became solemn. The key is that there are three fortifications behind the dock, fortunately, the pirates obviously don't take this bow ship seriously, among the three lines of defense, only the first fortification has been arranged with manpower, and most of these guys are sitting on the sand and gravel bags in a mess, pointing and talking about the big ships on the shore, and the bows and crossbows, firearms, etc. are casually put aside.

When they saw a few artillery pieces erected behind the third fortification, Xie Erjian and the others were even more frightened into a cold sweat, Ni Mei, the firepower of this group of pirates is very fierce, no wonder the officers and soldiers have returned from several encirclements and suppressions in vain, fortunately, now that the big ship has docked, the opponent's artillery cannot play a role.

Taking advantage of the fact that the big boat was slowly approaching the dock, Xie Erjian looked keenly at the arrangement of the island, and suddenly saw a group of people standing on the high place on the island, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Zhu, which one of the people in the high place is Chen Sipan?" ”

Zhu Kun stared at it, and replied in a low voice with some uncertainty: "This official has only seen the wanted portrait of this thief, and he doesn't recognize this thief, but the guy with the roe head rat next to him should be Chen Sipan's nephew Chen Dong, and the appearance of this thief is easy to recognize." ”

Xie Erjian couldn't help but be happy, Chen Dong was the second leader of the group of pirates on Dongsha Island, and even he had to stand aside, and the guy in the coat next to him was the pirate leader Chen Sipan.

"Guo Jindiao, come here!" Xie Erjian beckoned, and a shirtless guy immediately ran over smartly and said in a low voice, "Boss Xie, what's the matter?" ”

Xie Erjian snorted at the group of people in the high place, and said in a low voice, "Are you sure to kill the guy in the middle who wears the coat?" ”

This Guo Jindiao is only twenty-two years old this year, his eyes are bright, he is a sharpshooter in the 500 battalion, and his marksmanship is even more powerful than Xie Erjian.

Guo Jindiao squinted his eyes and looked at it for two seconds, and said in a low voice: "Boss Xie, the distance is a bit far, beyond the effective range of the flintlock pistol." ”

Xie Erjian rolled his eyes and said, ", if it doesn't exceed the effective range, Lao Tzu will need to find you to do it?" Okay, give me the right words, and we'll be on the shore soon. ”

Guo Jindiao stubbornly said: "Then your subordinates can try it, if they hit the vital point, they can still be killed with one shot." ”

"Okay, prepare immediately, it's okay if you don't die or get hurt!" Xie Erjian waved his hand, and Guo Jindiao immediately cleverly slipped away to prepare.

With a muffled bang, the big ship finally docked, and more than a dozen iron claws immediately flew on the dock to firmly grasp the side of the big ship.

"Listen to the eight kings on the ship, now, throw down all the weapons immediately, otherwise don't blame the guy in our brother's hand for being unkind." The little pirate leader Lu Laojiu stood on the dock, his hands crossed on his waist and shouted majestically.
