Dongsha Island is about Moris in diameter, with a low terrain in the west and high in the east. The east side of the island is steep and slippery rock walls, and even if a ship docks here, it is difficult to land. As long as a small number of people are sent, it can be kept as solid as a god. The west side of the island is covered with reefs of all sizes, which is not suitable for ships to drive and park.

The most outstanding thing is the north of Dongsha Island. It looks like nothing wrong on the surface, but in fact there are many reefs under the water. Ordinary small clutch and flat-bottom sand boats are fine. However, the slightly larger sharp-bottomed sea boats will probably be attacked. When the officers and soldiers surrounded Dongsha Island, they suffered a great loss on this sea surface and lost two lucky boats.

Therefore, only the south side of Dongsha Island is suitable for large ships to enter and exit. Chen Sipan's group of pirates built a dock and a water village here, and also built three layers of defensive fortifications, with very strict defenses.

When the big ship that Xie Erjian and others were riding sailed to about one mile from Dongsha Island, the water village on the south side of the island suddenly opened, and ten fast ships rushed out of it and rushed towards the big ship with murderous intent.

"Be careful, the pirate is here!" Zhu Wan, who was observing the enemy's situation on the bow of the big ship, looked shaking, and at the same time she clenched the knife handle.

The warlike magistrate Zhu had taken off his official robe and black hat at this moment. Like Qi Jingtong, Xie Erjian and others, they were all shirtless. In addition, this guy is strong and tall, and at first glance he is a brave warrior. Who would have expected that such a guy would be a civil servant from a Jinshi?

Xie Erjian said calmly: "Don't be anxious, Lord Zhu, the other party doesn't look like he is going to start a war. See the situation first and then take action."

At this time, the distance from the island is still a bit far away, so it is obviously not a good idea to take action at this time. After all, there is only one big ship, and it is undoubtedly a loss to fight on the sea without help and many small boats.

The pirates had obviously had extremely rich combat experience. After the ten-bowed cranes approached, they immediately spread to both sides. Three bows on the left and right held the flanks of the large ship, and the other four bows were placed behind the large ship to cut off the retreat route. Two of the cranes also lit firewood piled on the bow, making the big ship dare not drive back.

The bows of these fast ships have two pointed iron rods. As long as they hit, they will stab the hull of the big ship firmly. The firewood on the bow will ignite the big ship and burn it. The people on the big ship can only be buried in the fire except jumping into the sea.

Seeing this, Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian both looked solemn. They were hesitating whether to take the initiative. Suddenly, a clutch sailed to the bow of the big ship. A pirate on the ship shouted arrogantly: "You heard that the turtle on the ship, please follow my butt and dock, otherwise you will become a roast turtle."

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

Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. This was exactly what they wanted. They were having a headache about how to land. Hey, the pirates probably fell in love with this big ship, worried that the fierce battle would damage the ship.

"I wonder which hero is the head of the island? We came from afar from Lingnan. We were stormed on the road and the ship broke. We accidentally broke into the precious land. We hope that all heroes will be able to make a good deal in the future." Qi Jingtong shouted loudly.

"I don't care where you fight. Once you enter our territory, you have to abide by the rules. Don't say nonsense. First, hand over the weapons at the dock, otherwise you will burn the ship." The pirate on the cliff ship replied viciously, and asked his subordinates to support the ship towards the dock.

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

Next, the big ship followed the pirate's fast ship in front of him and slowly approached Dongsha Island and leaned towards the dock.

At this time, a large number of pirates were already waiting for the dock with a variety of weapons, with an estimated number of people of about a hundred, and the water camp next to them continued to sail out, surrounding the big ships, and even pulled up iron chains to block the dock.

Looking at the formation in front of him, even Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong became solemn. The key is that three fortifications were built behind the dock. Fortunately, the pirates obviously did not take this bow ship seriously. Among the three lines of defense, only the first fortification was arranged, and most of these guys sat on the sand and stone bags in a mess, pointing at the docking ship, talking, bows, crossbows, muskets, etc. were placed aside.

When he saw several cannons placed behind the third fortification, Xie Erjian and others were even more scared and sweated. Ni, this group of pirates has very strong firepower. No wonder the officers and soldiers returned in vain after several encirclements. Fortunately, the ship has now docked, and the opponent's artillery cannot play a role.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the ship slowly approached the dock, Xie Erjian looked at the layout of the island with a sharp look. Suddenly, he saw a group of people standing on the high place on the island. He couldn't help but feel moved and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhu, is that one of the group of people on the high place Chen Sipan?"

Zhu Wan looked at her eyes and replied in a low voice: "I have only seen the wanted portrait of this thief, and I do not recognize this thief. However, the guy next to me should be Chen Sipan's nephew Chen Dong, and the thief looks easy to recognize."

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

"Guo Jindiao, come here!" Xie Erjian waved, and a shirtless young man immediately ran over cleverly and whispered: "Boss Xie, what's the matter?"

Xie Erjian whispered to the group of people from the high place and whispered: "Are you sure to kill the guy wearing a mattress in the middle?"

Guo Jindiao is only 22 years old this year, with bright eyes and a sharp shooter in the Five Hundred Camp. His shooting skills are even more powerful than Xie Erjian. He is nicknamed Golden Eye Diao.

Guo Jindiao squinted his eyes and looked at it for two seconds, and whispered: "Boss Xie, the distance is a bit far, exceeding the effective range of the flintlock rifle."

Xie Erjian rolled his eyes and said, "Barring, if it doesn't exceed the effective range, I need to find you? Is it okay? I'll give you a correct word and you'll be docked immediately."

Guo Jindiao gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will give it a try. If it hits the key, it can still be shot to death."

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

With a dull sound, the ship finally landed, and a dozen iron claws flew from the dock and firmly grasped the ship's side.
