"You are so sure that you can't take your cargo ship?" Mao Chenglu said, staring at Xu Xuewu.

Xu Xuewu said in a faint tone: "If the general doesn't believe it, you can try it and see if the general's subordinates can get close to the two cargo ships brought by Caomin."

"I am just thinking this." Mao Chenglu stood up and ordered the soldiers in the house, "Gather the troops and horses, I am going to the dock."

"Yes." The personal soldiers in the house agreed, turned around and ran out.

Mao Chenglu ordered the personal soldiers who were staying in the house: "You two, take the shopkeeper Xu and go to the dock with me. I want to see how the two sea boats docked at the dock will resist the elite soldiers in my hands."

Two personal soldiers walked behind Xu Xuewu and directly lifted Xu Xuewu from his seat.

Mao Chenglu shook his sleeves and turned around and walked out of the house.

Xu Xuewu was escorted by two personal soldiers and left the room together.

When the people in the house were almost gone, Chen Zhong, who was sleeping on the kang, opened his eyes, looked at the direction of the door, sighed, and said, "Isn't it just a little big tree, why bother so unpleasant?"

Unfortunately, everyone in the house had already left, and he was the only one left. No one heard him, and no one knew that he was pretending to be drunk.

When he arrived at a high ground near the pier, Mao Chenglu said to Xu Xuewu beside him: "Shopkeeper Xu, let you see today how my general's son took down your cargo ship with the tiger flag."

Xu Xuewu smiled without saying anything.

As far as he knew, there were not many ships on Pi Island at all, and they were all small boats, not even a single sea boat, and most of the soldiers were people who fled from Liaodong. The only real elite soldiers and generals were about 200 people brought by Mao Wenlong when he landed on the island.

Mao Chenglu said to his personal soldiers around him: "Take three hundred people, go to the dock, find a way to board the cargo ship with the tiger flag, and seize their ship."

"Get orders." The personal soldier turned around and left.

Soon, a group of hundreds of soldiers from Pidao rushed towards the pier.

After such a big disturbance in mobilizing troops, someone naturally reported to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong said nothing about this and accused Mao Chenglu of his actions.

Now he is not a guerrilla general who has just arrived at Pidao and has not yet established a stable foothold, but a deputy general of Dongjiang Town appointed by the court, who is in charge of the entire Dongjiang Town.

The Tiger Flag is just a business in Datong. It is not qualified to negotiate with him. The two sea ships with the Tiger Flag are considered a lesson for him, so that the people of the Tiger Flag can understand who has the final say in Dongjiang Town.

There were many people on the ice chisel. When they saw a brigade of soldiers and horses going to the dock, they stopped their work.

This time, even the soldiers on the shore did not care about them, but turned their eyes to the dock.

As soon as the army of hundreds of people approached the dock, they were discovered by people with the tiger flag on the sea boat.

The captain Duan Ping came to the side of the ship, picked up the monocular lens in his hand, looked at the Pidao soldiers and generals near the dock, and then looked at Mao Chenglu and Xu Xuewu behind.

Through the monocular, he saw Xu Xuewu being taken into custody by two people, with his hands behind him.

"Captain, what should I do?" Li Yao asked Duan Ping.

Duan Ping held the monocular in his hand and said, "Put the flag to another ship, tell them to retreat, and be ready for battle."

"Captain Xu is still on the island!" Li Yao reminded.

Duan Ping put down the monocular lens in his hand and said, "I can't just break Captain Xu, two sea boats with the tiger flag, and immediately convey my order. The ship retreats and stays away from the dock and let the gunners take their place."

The flag officer on the ship began to inform another sea ship to leave the dock in flag language.

The two sea boats moved slowly and left the dock.

Xu Xuewu, who was standing on the high ground of Pi Island, smiled and said, "General Mao, Caomin is not wrong! Even if the general seizes Caomin on the island, he will not get the two cargo ships that Caomin came with him."

"Hmph, you are too happy too early." Mao Chenglu snorted coldly and said, "As long as you are in the hands of this general, I will not believe that the people on the ship will not surrender."

Xu Xuewu shook his head and said, "Caomin is just a shopkeeper who comes with the ship. There is someone else on the ship to command it. They will not hand the ship over to Pidao just because Caomin alone."

"Then I will force the boat to board the ship." Mao Chenglu said coldly, and then said to his subordinates, "Colle all the ships on the island and let our people chase the cargo ship with the tiger flag on a boat."

"Yes." The person next to him agreed and ran to convey the order.

There were not many ships on Pi Island, so they quickly brought all the ships to the near the dock.

The soldiers waiting on the dock began to board the ship, then rowed the boat and chased the sea boat in front.

As soon as more than a dozen small boats appeared, Duan Ping was noticed by the sea boat.

There were seven or eight people on each small boat, and more than a dozen small boats combined were only a hundred people, and most of the remaining Pidao soldiers were left on the dock.

Duan Pingmeng showed sarcastic expression and said, "Tell our gunners to aim at the ships appearing on the sea and hit hard, no need to be polite."

Li Yao frowned and said worriedly: "The tiger flag has to cooperate with Pidao. Is it not good to really kill the people on Pidao?"

"Captain Xu has been arrested, which means that Pi Dao has broken up with us. There is no need to show mercy. Follow my orders and let the gunner beat me hard." Duan Ping said to Li Yao.

Li Yao sighed and was not stopping Duan Ping.

He also knew that the situation was obviously torn apart, but he was worried about the safety of Xu Xuewu on the island. After all, Xu Xuewu was the captain of the guards around the boss. At least he was worried that the boss would blame him.

The sea boat with the tiger flag was horizontally on the sea surface, with two eighteen-rank cannons in front and behind aimed at the small boat on the sea surface.

More than a dozen small boats left the dock, gathered together in dense crowds and did not disperse, and could be said to be the best target.

Xu Xuewu, who was standing on the high ground of Pi Island, saw this scene and said to Mao Chenglu: "General Mao, it seems that your subordinates have never fought a naval battle. So many small boats gathered together are the best targets for our tiger-flag sea ships."

"What? Manager Xu still wants to teach me how to fight?" Mao Chenglu showed sarcasm.

He was a guerrilla general, and in terms of his ability to fight, he believed that he was a hundred times better than the shopkeeper Xu in front of him.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu smiled and said, "Pi Island is full of small boats, and there are too few people. Facing my sea boat with the tiger flag, there is no chance of winning."

"Hmph, you have to fight before you know." Mao Chenglu snorted coldly.

He did not take Xu Xuewu's words seriously at all, but thought that Xu Xuewu was afraid and worried that the sea ship with the tiger flag would be taken down by Pi Island.

Seeing this, Xu Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "These small boats on Pi Island want to chase my big ship with the tiger flag, but they have no fire boats to prepare, so they have no chance of winning."
