When the name Liu Xiang was mentioned, the atmosphere on the deck suddenly became a little silent.

Zheng Zhilong was silent for a moment before saying lightly: "A Bao, go and notify your brothers to get off the boat. I'll go and stare in front, so there's no mistake."

After saying that, Zheng Zhilong turned around and entered the cabin, leaving only the two Zheng brothers who were peering at each other.

Zheng Zhibao on the deck whispered: "Second, why did you mention that woman again, making the eldest brother angry?"

"How did I know that my brother would have such a big reaction!" Zheng Zhihu argued: "If I had to say that if I could have solved that woman earlier that day, there would be nothing left, and there would be no trouble today."

Zheng Zhibao rolled his eyes in anger: "You are just a stick! I won't tell you anymore, go do things."

Seeing Zheng Zhibao leave, Zheng Zhihu shouted angrily from behind: "Hey... why am I a bastard? Don't forget that I am your second brother. Is there anyone who talks to your second brother like this?"

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

After approaching the pier, more than 200 scouts pirates jumped onto the pier first, and then quickly scattered. After a while, Zheng Zhilong received a report: "There is no one on the pier, and there is nothing but a mountain of stone and wood."

"good!"

There were dozens of leaders of all sizes standing on the deck of the big blessing ship where Zheng Zhilong was. Now Zheng Zhilong has returned to his former graceful demeanor. He smiled and said to everyone: "It seems that God is also helping us. The Ming Dynasty has indeed been peaceful for too long. If we don't even put a guard post in such a place, it will be difficult for us to win a battle."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed, and many people had hideous and excited smiles on their faces. Xiamen is one of the rare rich places in Fujian. If they could take Xiamen, they would definitely make a big fortune.

Seeing these subordinates getting ready, Zheng Zhilong knew that the mobilization work was no longer necessary to do it himself. He raised his voice and said loudly: "Next, we will still be the same rule. Ahu brought the tiger camp and Zheng Xing led the Xing camp to ambush outside the city of Xiamen. Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Cai brought the Geng camp, Hui camp and Cai camp to carry out sneak attacks on the Jiangning army camp. After success, Ahu and Zheng Xing immediately attacked Xiamen City. Once they succeeded, I will lead the entire army to launch a general attack. Be sure to occupy Xiamen City before dawn!"

"Get orders!"

Everyone who heard the orders flashed with excitement and bloodthirsty eyes. For those of them who were used to robbing families, there was nothing more exciting than killing enemies and stealing their belongings and women.

Zheng Zhibao, who is in charge of the logistics and organization of the Zheng family group, finally ordered: "Except for the brothers who control the ships, everyone goes ashore. This time we want the Ming court to know how terrible it is to offend my Zheng family!"

"Brothers, come with me!"

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

The pirates on the deck let out excited howls, swarming down the ropes and boarding their own ships. After countless ships began to rush toward the dock, none of these people noticed that a six-wing drone was quietly floating above their heads hundreds of meters above their heads. The six propellers were rotating rapidly under the power of the mini motor, making a faint rustling sound.

Next to an official road three or four miles away from the pier, thousands of fully armed soldiers were sitting on the ground or lying on the ground, occupying a large area of ​​land. Although there were a lot of people, no one in the entire team made unnecessary noises, and everyone was sitting quietly with their own affairs.

In the team, a large black cart stood there quietly, dozens of iron-clad servants standing around, staring at the surroundings with sharp eyes.

In the car, Zheng Tuanniang and Shinniang were staring nervously at the display screen in front of them. A piece of red and black appeared on the color display screen. Most people couldn't understand what this situation meant, but for Zheng Tuan and Shinniang, the things on the screen were quite clear and clear.

The straight girl suddenly pointed to the screen and said, "Miss, Zheng Zhilong and the others are starting to go to the dock!"

"Okay... I'll report to my husband right away!" Zheng Tuoniang picked up the walkie-talkie placed on the table and pressed the call button...

"Quick... hurry up... all follow, and two more miles away are the Jiangning Army's barracks. Now the 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. At that time, we only need to go in and finish the fight!"

Yang Geng waved a ghost-headed knife and loudly boosted morale for the pirates. A group of pirates holding various weapons trotted along the official road. Since he had run several miles, sweat was flowing on almost everyone's faces, and the sound of quite messy footsteps kept ringing on the official road.

As one of the members of the "Eighteen Zhis" under Zheng Zhilong, Yang Geng is undoubtedly a very powerful person. He has more than 2,000 brave pirates under his command and is 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 this time.

At this time, another general under Zheng Zhilong, Chen Hui, who was affiliated with Shibazhi, ran to Yang Geng and lowered his voice and said, "Old Geng, why do I feel a little cautious when I run all the way, and I always feel that something bad is about to happen."

"What are you talking about?" Yang Geng glared at Chen Hui with some dissatisfaction: "We are going to fight with Jiangning Army, but you came to tell me this. Fortunately, there are only three of us brothers here, otherwise if the boss heard it, you will inevitably be punished."

"Isn't there no outsiders?" Chen Hui smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed the subject: "Old Geng, I heard that. The Jiangning Army is rich. If we can really take down the Jiangning Army camp, we will send it. Not to mention the gold, silver and treasures in the Jiangning Army camp, the muskets and cannons in the Jiangning Army are good things that cannot be bought even if there is silver."

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

Their pirate group is nominally respected by Zheng Zhilong, but in fact, Zheng Zhilong Group is composed of more than a dozen forces, and this group actually has an nickname called "Shibazhi".

As the name suggests, Shibazhi is composed of eighteen forces. The three brothers Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao commanded more than 50% of the forces, which is the strongest force in this group, and the rest is composed of fifteen leaders.

Of course, most of these fifteen leaders have been recovered by Zheng Zhilong and become his confidants. But as the saying goes, a person’s ten fingers will not be equal, let alone people. People will have thoughts, and people will have differences and competition.

This time, when Zheng Zhilong sneaked into the Jiangning Army camp, he sent Yang Geng, Chen Hui and Zheng Cai to take the Geng Army camp, Hui, and Cai Cai to the Geng Army camp, a total of more than 6,000 pirates. According to the unspoken rules of the Zheng Zhilong Group over the years, they who took the lead in winning the Jiangning Army camp were naturally qualified to select spoils first. The sharp muskets and cannons in the hands of the Jiangning Army were naturally their first choice targets.

The team walked for another quarter of an hour. Yang Geng ordered the team to stop and take a break for a while, and called Chen Hui. Zheng Cai pointed to the southwest and said, "Brothers, I always feel that things are going too smoothly tonight. Is there anything wrong?"

Zheng Cai was a tall, burly man with a strong body covered in tendons. He said impatiently: "I said Lao Geng, you are so timid. The Jiangning Army is not a god. How did they know we will come? If you want me, let's go over and drop the Jiangning Army camp to be serious. You must know that the second leader is still waiting for us to do something outside the city."

"Okay, let's keep going!" Yang Geng sighed lightly, hoping that his concerns would be redundant.

More than ten minutes later, the team continued to move along the official road. In the quiet dark night, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard far away.

Any team, the people who are at the forefront are the most elite among them. The same is true for Yang Geng and the others. The ones who are at the forefront are more than 100 most alert and elite scouts. Their years of life of licking blood on their heads has trained their alert and flexible skills.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a fire and a large neat tent could be seen in the distance. The scout in front was delighted. He was about to turn his head to speak, but then a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he lay down and put his ear on the ground. After a few breaths, he jumped up like a spring and shouted loudly: "There are a large group of people coming in front, be careful!"

I have to say that the scout was very alert, but his reminder came too late. When his voice fell, a torch suddenly lit up in front of him, and then more torches lit up, and soon a large area of ​​light was lit. The dense flames were ignited, which soon made the area red.

When the fire lights up, the area is instantly turned into daylight, and both figures are exposed.

"There is an ambush..."

A shrill sound rang in the team. At this time, the pirates walking in front found that at some point on the roadside and further away, teams of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding muskets were lined up in neat formations, staring at them with cold eyes.

This is nothing. What scares them the most is that there is a row of cannons in front of these sergeants, and the black muzzles are aiming at them.

Yang Geng, who was standing in the middle of the team, saw rows of soldiers and the cannons in front of him, and was so scared that he was so scared that he shouted out from his mouth: "No, that's the cannons of the officers and soldiers! Retreat... retreat!"

Yang Geng's order was issued too late. Almost as he finished speaking, he saw only the row of cannons flashing in front of him. Then a dull explosion sounded. A few seconds later, a dense collision of objects was heard. The first half of the team was almost covered by dense projectiles, and a shrill scream immediately sounded.

Amid the screams, countless pirates fell to the ground.

"Recharge!"

With a loud call, a gunner cleaned the cannon with a wooden pole stained with cotton cloth and water. Then, a pack of shotguns and medicine wrapped in thin iron was loaded into the cannon chamber. The gunman behind him almost had to aim and pierced the medicine bag with the anvil in his hand. Then, as soon as the gunner pulled the rope, he heard a loud noise. The shells wrapped in hundreds of small projectiles were shot out of the cannon chamber. Then, in less than two seconds, it shot into the pirates' formation and stirred up blood mist and broken limbs.

After three rounds of artillery attacks, most of the more than a thousand pirates who were walking in the front fell down. At this time, the pirates' marching team, which was like a snake, had long been in chaos. Many people ran around like headless flies, but more people turned their heads and ran back. They were about to leave this hell of harvesting life, but in a hurry, they did not realize that they were doing this to rush the already chaotic team to pieces.

Looking at the messy team around, although Yang Geng, Zheng Cai and Chen Hui tried their best to keep their subordinates in formation and not run around, their voices were quickly covered by the noise and cannon sounds around them. In the end, even they were even dragged back by the pirates who retreated from the front.

Yang Geng, who was surrounded by the defeated soldiers, looked at the chaotic team around him, and felt a sense of coldness and despair. He knew that this time, not only was Zheng Zhilong's surprise attack that had high hopes failed, but he was afraid that the reputation they had worked hard to create over the past six months would be completely lost tonight.

Yang Feng stood on the back of a hillside and saw clearly the situation across the opposite side. Looking at the pirates who were blown by artillery a mile away and fled around the mountains and fields, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"The artillery battalion stops the artillery attack, and the third infantry battalion can attack them!"

With Yang Feng's order, the rumbling cannon sound came to an abrupt end. Before Yang Geng and others could be happy, the infantrymen who were just standing around silently began to pat their neat formations and slowly rushed towards them. When they were about one hundred meters away from the pirates, the soldiers in the first row began to fire.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of the muskets when firing may not be as shocking as the cannons, but the damage caused to the enemy by the dense fire of the muskets is no less than that of the cannons. In the blink of an eye, a large area of ​​pirates who are still in chaos fall down...
