These leading parties took the sea wolf to act as an eyeliner and guide for the sea wolf, and when the sea wolf attacked Zhuangbao, they also acted as porters, and even some bold young people were willing to cut their bodies, so they directly chose to vote for the sea wolf and attack the walled fort with the sea wolf.

In this way, although the sea wolf's large-scale attack on the shore offended many rich people, it won the support of a large number of poor people, and earned a good reputation as a righteous thief for the sea wolf.

After more than two months of operation, the sea wolf actually recruited nearly 10,000 immigrants in the provinces along the coast of Fujian, and also recruited more than 1,000 strong young men to join the sea wolf's army.

Almost every day, the government and the three departments can receive bad news, and they have not yet pressed the gourd, and there is a scoop here, which makes the Fujian government a wolf bèi, and I almost don't know what to do.

The officials of the three divisions united and asked Zhang Jiace, who is now the only official in Fujian that has maintained a certain level of surface combat effectiveness, to lead the fleet to attack and stop the sea wolves from attacking and plundering on the coast, but Zhang Jiace disobeyed the yin and led dozens of warships to wander around the sea, always not fighting the sea wolves head-on.

They often rush to the place of the accident after being ordered, and they can always arrive at the accident site when the sea wolf has evacuated, and at this time, the place where the sea wolf passed has already been burned into ruins, Zhang Jiace led the troops to arrive, and only killed some of the local people who were still taking advantage of the fire to rob and did not have time to run away, so as to repay the merit and reward the above, in fact, it did not play a role in stopping the sea wolf's action at all.

Although the Fujian officials have a lot of complaints about Zhang Jiace, but now that Zhang Jiace has the only combat force that can operate on the sea, they can't do anything with Zhang Jiace.

As for Yu Zhigao, after the defeat on Nanri Island, there were not many soldiers and horses at hand, so he could only run back to Quanzhou Mansion and shut up, and no one paid attention to him.

At the same time as the navy launched the operation, the army, under the leadership of Li Dazui and Meng Fei, gathered two battalions of troops in the area of Weitou Bay, although these troops are not very many, only more than 2,000 troops, but the land soldiers of the sea wolf now look at the entire Ming Dynasty, and they definitely belong to the elite division.

The quality of their equipment even exceeds the quality of any of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, the musket has completely become the main battle weapon of the sea wolf, and the cold weapon has been completely reduced to a weapon to assist the war, and only in close combat, the cold weapon can play a certain role.

After resting for three days, according to Li Dazui's order, most of the two battalions of Seawolf infantry were transported to the shore, and directly surrounded the castle of Takaura Sento.

Gaopu City is also an acropolis near the sea, the building situation of the city is similar to the Golden Gate City and the Zhongzuo City, and even the Humao City, the city wall is made of stones, some places take some rammed earth structure, the city wall is about seven feet high, one battle wide, with four gates, but this Gaopu City is in the four gates, all have an urn city, so relatively speaking, the defense ability is stronger.

In addition, the number of garrisons in Gaopu City is relatively large, and there are about 800 officers and soldiers stationed in the city.

In addition, because Gaopu lived on the shore, he was not the first to be attacked by the sea wolves, so when they learned that Kinmen and Zhongzuo had fallen, they immediately recruited the regiments of young and strong villagers and nearby squires from around the city to train into the city to assist in defense.

In this way, in Gaopu City, when the sea wolf began to attack it, in addition to its own troops, plus the 500 officers and soldiers who helped the Xiangyong regiment training and the reinforcements sent from Quanzhou, there were already 2,000 officers and soldiers in the city, and the strength was really not weak.

Gao Pu is now sitting in Quanzhou sent a guerrilla surnamed He, this He guerrilla is under the command of Yu Zhigao, Yu Zhigao led the army to attack Nanri Island, leaving it to sit in Quanzhou, now the sea wolf invaded Haicheng in a big way, captured Kinmen Zhongzuo and other places, Quanzhou in order to prevent the sea wolf from continuing to go ashore to attack, then sent this He guerrilla to Gao Pu to sit in the town.

At this time, the Gaopu Institute concentrated a guerrilla, four thousand generals, and more than ten generals, who were busy in Gaopu City for days to strengthen the fortifications and repair the damaged city walls.

Although this He guerrilla was calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already panicking to death in his heart, and he had already learned about the power of the sea wolf from Yu Zhigao and the soldiers who fled back to Quanzhou, and he also learned a lot of news about the sea wolf's attack on Kinmen and Zhongzuo and Humao City.

On the whole, He Guerrilla already has a considerable understanding of the sea wolf's land combat ability, although it seems that he has a lot of troops at hand at the moment, and there are more than 2,000 troops concentrated in the small Gaopu City, but he has no idea whether he can hold this place.

If it was an ordinary pirate who came, he thought that with his current strength, although he might not be able to defeat him out of the city, there was no problem in holding Gaopu City, as long as the soldiers in the city did not mess up, then ordinary pirates could only stare at him in Gaopu City.

But today he is facing a sea wolf, whether it is a sailor or a land division, the sea wolf is said to be quite capable of fighting, and the firepower is fierce, which is extremely difficult to resist.

On the other hand, the soldiers and horses he has on hand are more than 2,000 people, of which more than 1,000 are temporarily cobbled together from various townships and villages.

In addition, the remaining more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, he knows better than anyone else the level of equipment and training, if this group of guards get off the number of barriers, they are called Huazi, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low, and the only thing they can rely on is the 500 officers and soldiers he brought from Quanzhou, which can be regarded as the town soldiers of Quanzhou, and relatively speaking, the quality of equipment and combat effectiveness are more reassuring.

But it also depends on who he compares with, he already knows that the Seawolf Land Division is equipped with a lot of bird guns, these bird guns have a range of up to two hundred steps, and they are extremely accurate, in addition, the sea wolf also has a large number of Hongyi cannons of different sizes, which are even more sharp and abnormal.

And he looked at Gaopu City, there were only a dozen cannons in total, of which there was only one Hongyi cannon and three 500-pound copper hair guns, and the rest were some old cannons such as exterminators and bowl-mouth guns, which had a short range and small power, and were not enough to fight against the sharp cannons of the sea wolf.

As for long-range weapons, the officers and soldiers are mainly bows and crossbows, mixed with a small number of firearms and three-eyed guns, and the bird guns are only a few dozen in total, and the quality is worrying, and few people are willing to use this thing.

So whether he could block the attack of the sea wolf, He Guerrilla didn't have any bottom in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that if he panicked, the morale of his subordinates would be completely ruined.

In order to strengthen the defense, he ordered the demolition of many houses in the city, and transported bricks and timber to the city wall to be used as rolling wood.

He also ordered to find a lot of cauldrons, set them up on the city wall, and be ready to boil water at any time, and when the time came, the city wall was poured down to stop the attack of the sea wolf.

If according to the previous words, as an acropolis, generally not interested pirates, pirates want money, prefer to attack some rich forts, for attacking the Acropolis and county towns and other cities, they are not capable, but the oil and water are not big and have no head, so even if the pirates attack the shore, they generally will not attack the Acropolis.

Only many years ago, when the Japanese invaders were rampant, there was a situation where the Japanese invaded the county seat and the Acropolis, but since the Japanese plague gradually lessened, such a situation rarely happened, even when Chu Cailao was the strongest, he only attacked Haicheng County, but he never attacked the Acropolis.

But this time, He Guerrilla no longer had any illusions, because he had already seen that this time the sea wolves came here, and they would never leave as before, because they had already captured Kinmen Island first, and then captured the Zhongzuo Institute, and even defeated Humao City, destroyed Humao City, and then completely destroyed Yuegang.

Although He Guerrilla couldn't understand what the sea wolf was doing this time, he vaguely felt that the sea wolf was not good at it this time, and I am afraid that it was not a simple revenge on the government, and it would be the end to grab a handful of Yuegang.

The Gaopu Institute and the Zhongzuo Institute face each other across the sea, close at hand, and it can be seen from the head of the Gaopu Institute that the sea wolves have gathered a large number of troops and horses on the Zhongzuo Island in the past few days, which clearly shows that there is a greater action.

What's next for the Seawolf? He couldn't guess, but what he could guess was that the sea wolf would definitely hit the Golpo where he was.

Sure enough, within a few days, a large number of sea wolves' soldiers and horses began to land, and quickly surrounded Gaopu City, He Guerrilla of course did not dare to lead troops out of the city to fight with the sea wolf's soldiers and horses, and immediately quickly put everyone into the city, closed the four gates and made a posture to defend Gaopu City.

All the officers and soldiers in the city, even the village braves, were driven to the city wall by him to garrison, and made a posture of rolling up his sleeves with his arms and arms, ready to fight to the death.

However, his efforts were so pale and powerless in the face of the sea wolf's attack, and in the face of the sea wolf's artillery fire, although this He guerrilla made great efforts, he did not achieve many effective results.

Several large ships of sea wolves approached the shore on the sea outside Goupu City, and began to fire at Golpo Castle with the heavy guns on board.
