At the mention of the name Liu Xiang, the atmosphere on the deck suddenly became a little silent.

Zheng Zhilong was silent for a moment before he said lightly: "Ah Leopard, you go and inform the brothers to prepare to get off the boat, I will go ahead and keep an eye on it, but there can be no mistakes." ”

With that, Zheng Zhilong turned around and entered the cabin, leaving only the two Zheng family brothers who were looking at each other.

Zheng Zhibao on the deck complained in a low voice: "Second brother, why did you mention that woman again and make the eldest brother angry, right?" ”

"How did I know that my eldest brother would have such a big reaction!" Zheng Zhihu retorted: "If you want me to say, if you can solve that woman earlier that day, there will be nothing left, how can there be such trouble today." ”

Zheng Zhibao rolled his eyes angrily: "You are a mallet!" I won't tell you anymore, just get things done. ”

Watching Zheng Zhibao leave, Zheng Zhihu shouted angrily in the back: "Hey...... Why am I a mallet, don't forget that I am your second brother, do you talk to your second brother like this? ”

Two quarters of an hour later, the huge fleet slowly approached the unfinished port, the first to approach the dock were dozens of small boats.

After approaching the dock, more than 200 pirates who served as scouts jumped on the dock first, and then quickly dispersed, and after a while, Zheng Zhilong received a report: "The dock is empty, except for the mountains of stone and wood. ”

"Good!"

There are dozens of large and small leaders standing on the deck of Zheng Zhilong's Dafu ship, and now Zheng Zhilong has returned to his former graceful demeanor, he smiled and said to everyone: "It seems that God is also helping us, Daming seems to have been Chengping for too long, and there is not even a sentry in this kind of place, even if we don't want to win the battle, it will be difficult." ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed, and many of them had hideous and excited smiles on their faces. Xiamen is a rare rich place in Fujian, and if they can take Xiamen, they will definitely be able to make a fortune.

Seeing these subordinates begin to gear up, Zheng Zhilong knew that the next mobilization work did not have to be done by himself, he raised his voice and said loudly: "Next, we are still the old rules, Ah Hu with the Tiger Battalion, Zheng Xing with the Xingzi Battalion ambushed outside Xiamen City, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Cai respectively with the Geng Battalion, Hui Battalion and Cai Battalion to carry out a sneak attack on the Jiangning Army Battalion, after the success, Ah Hu and Zheng Xing immediately stormed Xiamen City, once I succeeded, I will lead the whole army to launch a general attack, be sure to occupy Xiamen City before dawn!" ”

"Order!"

The eyes of all those who heard the order flashed with excitement and bloodthirstiness, and for those of them who were accustomed to robbing homes and houses, there was nothing more exciting than killing their enemies and robbing them of their belongings and women.

Zheng Zhibao, who was in charge of the logistics and organization of the Zheng family group, finally ordered: "Except for the brother who controls the ship, everyone goes ashore, this time we want to let the Ming court know what a terrible thing it is to offend my Zheng family!" ”

"Brothers, come with me!"

"Let's go...... Go kill all their men and snatch their women! ”

The pirates on the deck let out a howl of excitement, swarming down from the ropes, and after boarding their own ships, countless ships began to scramble towards the dock, but none of these people noticed that a six-winged drone was quietly hovering above their heads hundreds of meters overhead, and the six propellers were spinning rapidly under the drive of micromotors, making a faint rustling sound.

Thousands of heavily armed soldiers sat on the ground or lay on the ground, occupying a large area of the surrounding area, and although there were a lot of people, no one in the whole team made any extra noise, and everyone was sitting quietly about their business.

In the middle of the team, a black cart stood quietly, and dozens of men in iron armor stood around, staring carefully at the surroundings with sharp eyes.

In the car, Zheng Toniang and Xianniang were nervously staring at the display screen in front of them. The color display screen showed a mixture of red and black, which ordinary people couldn't understand at all, but for Zheng Toniang and Line Niang, what was shown on the screen was quite clear and clear.

Xianniang suddenly pointed to the screen and said, "Miss, Zheng Zhilong, they are starting to go to the dock!" ”

"Good...... I'll report it to you right away! Zheng Tuoniang picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and pressed the call button......

"Quick...... Fast...... Keep up, two miles away is the military camp of the Jiangning Army, now those soldiers are sleeping, we just need to rush into their camp, those guys who command the fish and meat people on weekdays will definitely blow up the camp, then we just need to go in and mend the knife! ”

Yang Geng brandished a ghost-headed knife loudly to boost the morale of the pirates, and around him, a group of pirates armed with various weapons trotted forward along the official road, because they had run for several miles, almost everyone's faces were dripping with sweat, and the official road kept resounding with quite chaotic footsteps.

As one of the members of the "Eighteen Zhi" under Zheng Zhilong's command, Yang Geng is undoubtedly a very powerful person, he has more than 2,000 brave pirates under his command, and he is also known for his bravery on weekdays, otherwise Zheng Zhilong would not have appointed him as the leader of the surprise attack on the Jiangning army camp.

At this time, Chen Hui, another general under Zheng Zhilong who was subordinate to Eighteen Zhi, ran to Yang Geng's side and lowered his voice and said: "Old Geng, why do I feel a little cautious and panicked all the way, I always feel that something bad is going to happen." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Geng glared at Chen Hui with some dissatisfaction: "We are about to start a fight with Jiang Ningjun, but you came to tell me this." Fortunately, there are only three of us brothers here, otherwise if you let the big boss hear it, you kid will inevitably be punished. ”

"It's not like there are no outsiders." Chen Hui smiled wryly, and quickly changed the topic: "Old Geng, I've heard about it." The Jiangning army is very rich, if we can really take the Jiangning army's camp, we will send it, not to mention the gold and silver treasures in the Jiangning army, let's just say that the guns and artillery in the hands of the Jiangning army are good things that can't be bought with silver. ”

"Jiang Ningjun certainly has good things in his hands, but if he wants it, he has to wait until we defeat them, otherwise he can only think about it." Yang Geng's voice was faint, but Chen Hui, who was familiar with him, could still detect the heat and greed implied in his tone.

Their pirate group is nominally respected by Zheng Zhilong, but in fact, Zheng Zhilong's group is composed of more than a dozen forces, and this group actually has another name, called "Eighteen Zhi".

Eighteen Zhi, as the name suggests, is composed of eighteen forces. The three brothers, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, led more than fifty percent of the power, which was the strongest in the group, and the rest was composed of fifteen leaders.

Of course, most of these fifteen leaders have been recovered by Zheng Zhilong and become his henchmen, but as the saying goes, a person's ten fingers will not be generally flat, let alone a person. If it is a person, there will be thoughts, and if it is a person, there will be disagreement and competition.

This time to attack the Jiangning army camp, Zheng Zhilong sent Yang Geng, Chen Hui, and Zheng Cai to take Geng Zi Battalion, Hui Zi Battalion and Cai Zi Battalion a total of more than 6,000 pirates respectively. The sharp guns and artillery in the hands of the Jiang Ning army were naturally their preferred targets.

The team walked for another quarter of an hour, Yang Geng ordered the team to stop and rest for a while, and called Chen Hui and Zheng Cai to point to the southwest and said, "Brothers, I always feel that things are going too smoothly tonight, is there something wrong?" ”

Zheng Cai was a tall man with tendons and flesh, and he said impatiently: "I said Lao Geng, you are too timid, and Jiang Ningjun is not a god, how do they know that we will come?" If you want me to say, let's hurry over and drop the camp of the Jiangning Army in a serious way, you must know that the second leader is still waiting for us to do it outside the city. ”

"Alright, let's keep walking!" Yang Geng sighed lightly, I hope his worries are superfluous.

After more than ten minutes, the team continued to move along the official road. In the silence of the night, the sound of chaotic footsteps can be heard far away.

In any team, the people who walk in the front are the most elite existence among them, and Yang Geng's team is the same, walking in the front of the team are more than 100 of the most alert and elite scouts, and the perennial life of licking blood has trained them to be alert and flexible.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a firelight and a large neat tent could be faintly seen in the distance, and a scout at the front had a joy in his eyes, he was about to turn his head to speak, but then a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, he didn't say a word, and the whole person lay down and put his ears on the ground, and after a few breaths, he jumped up like a spring and shouted: "There is a large group of people coming ahead, everyone be careful!" ”

It has to be said that the scout was very alert, but his reminder came too late. When his words fell, a torch suddenly lit up in front of him, and then more torches lit up, and soon a large area was lit, and the dense firelight was ignited, and soon the area was reflected red.

When the firelight was lit, the area was instantly turned into daylight, and the figures of both sides were exposed.

"There is an ambush ......"

A terrible sound rang out in the procession, and the pirates who were walking in front noticed that at some point, on the side of the road and beyond, a group of sergeants in iron armor and armed with firearms were lined up in a neat formation, watching them with cold eyes.

And that wasn't all, but what frightened them the most was the row of cannons in front of them, the black muzzles pointed at them.

Yang Geng, who was standing in the center of the team, saw the rows of sergeants and the artillery in front of him, and he was only frightened, and a terrible voice shouted out of his mouth: "It's not good, it's the artillery of the officers and soldiers!" Quickly rewind ...... Back off! ”

Yang Geng's order was given too late, almost at the same time as his words fell, he only saw the fire of the row of artillery in front of him flashing, and then a dull explosion sounded, and after a few seconds, a dense collision of objects was heard, and the first half of the team was almost covered by dense projectiles, and a terrible scream was also heard.

In the midst of the screams, countless pirates fell to the ground screaming one after another.

"Reload!"

Under the loud shouting of the order, a gunner cleaned the barrel with a wooden pole stained with cotton cloth and water, and then a piece of shotgun and medicine bag wrapped in thin iron sheet were loaded into the barrel by the loader, and the commander of the gun behind him almost did not need to aim, he pierced the medicine bag with the anvil in his hand, and then as soon as the gunner pulled the gun rope, he heard a loud noise, and the shell wrapped in hundreds of small projectiles was shot out of the barrel, and then it took less than two seconds to shoot into the formation of the pirates, setting off a burst of blood mist and stump limbs.

After three rounds of shelling, most of the more than 1,000 pirates who had been at the forefront had fallen. At this time, the pirates' original snake-like march was already in chaos, many of them were scurrying like headless flies, but many more were turning their heads and running backwards, they wanted to leave this hell of harvesting life, and in their eagerness they did not realize that they were doing so to rush the already chaotic procession to pieces.

Looking at the chaotic team around them, although Yang Geng, Zheng Cai, and Chen Hui tried their best to shout for their subordinates to keep their formation and not run around, their voices were quickly drowned out by the surrounding noise and cannon sounds, and in the end, even they were coerced back by the pirates who had retreated from the front.

Yang Geng, who was coerced by the defeated soldiers and retreated, looked at the chaotic team around him, and felt cold and desperate in his heart, he knew that this time not only was the surprise attack that Zheng Zhilong had given high hopes for, but I am afraid that the prestige they had worked hard for most of the past six months would also be completely lost tonight.

Yang Feng stood at the back of a hillside, seeing the situation on the other side clearly, looking at the pirates who were fleeing all over the mountains and fields by artillery a mile away, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"The artillery battalion has stopped shelling, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion can attack them!"

With Yang Feng's order, the rumbling cannon stopped abruptly, and before Yang Geng and the others could be happy, the foot soldiers who were just standing around silently began to slowly press towards them in a neat formation, and when they approached the pirates at a distance of about a hundred meters, the sergeants in the first row began to fire.

"Bang ......"

The sound of the guns may not be as powerful as the guns, but the damage caused by the dense guns is no less than that of the guns, and the pirates who are still in confusion have fallen in large numbers in the blink of an eye......
