A group of people rode a small sampan in the dark and quietly landed ashore.
Mao Youqi and Chen Shan are responsible for leading the team. They are both from the Dan family. The Dan family are untouchables and are discriminated against and are not allowed to go ashore. They do not have their own houses and live in boats. They are prohibited from settling ashore. They are classified as untouchables.
Their status was low and they were discriminated against. Their descendants were not allowed to take the imperial examination. Of course, because they made ships their home and were proficient in water, there were many pirates. There were Dan people in Yang Fan's three pirate regiments.
Yang Fan does not discriminate against anyone, and there are no untouchables under his command. As long as they join Yang Fan's pirate group, they will be settled, and they will bid farewell to their untouchable status and become ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty. This is very attractive to them.
After the news spread, many Dan people joined in.
Mao Youqi looked around to see if there was anyone, and drew three circles on the sea with a lantern. This was a signal that he could land.
Soon, more than thirty sampans docked on the beach. A battalion of pirates came ashore.
Battalion Commander He Jia Shanmao walked over with his waist bent and said to Chen Shan and Mao Youqi: "Our battalion depends entirely on you two today. The master is watching from behind, so be careful not to be exposed."
"Don't worry, battalion commander, I'm old at this job and there won't be any mistakes. Just wait for us to rush forward and then follow up." Mao Youqi slapped his chest loudly.
"Go and be safe." He Jiashan waved his hand.
One hundred commandos quietly moved towards the fort in the distance. Because the fleet fought for a long time during the day with no effect, they retreated in front of the Spaniards. At this time, the Spaniards did not relax their vigilance. On the fort
Some wood was lit and burned in an iron basket set up as lighting.
Mao Youqi and Chen Shan used the shadows to slowly climb towards the bottom of the fort. They had plants on their backs as camouflage. Because they were moving very slowly, it was the sleepiest time before dawn. The defenders were here.
At this time, his will also began to relax, and his eyes were bleary. He didn't notice the commando who crawled forward and then stopped for a while.
Finally, the team members approached the bottom of the outer wall of the trapezoidal turret.
King Monkey stepped on the cross-supported hands of his two teammates. With the help of their upward lift, he jumped up and immediately held the upper edge of the turret with his hands. The height of the turret was only five meters, which was not very high.
.
King Monkey slowly poked his head out from the shadows and took a look. Several Spanish soldiers holding Swiss halberds were talking not far away. There were also a few people dozing off holding matchlock guns.
King Monkey did not alarm them, but hung the rope ladder hook on his back on the upper edge of the fort wall. Then he made an OK gesture downwards.
This gesture came from Yang Fan. It means that everything is settled.
A dozen people with their backs against the wall climbed up from the rope ladder one after another, and then moved to the side with their hands on the edge of the wall. After a while, there were more than a dozen people standing in a row sideways, with their eyes exposed to observe what was inside.
Condition.
Everyone puts down a rope ladder and hangs it firmly with steel hooks.
At the base of the wall below, the remaining people had already gathered. After waiting for the dozen or so people to go up, they also climbed up from the rope ladder.
The leader of the group, Wang Houhou, made a gesture, and while the Spanish soldiers on the opposite side walked away, more than a dozen people climbed over the parapet, jumped into the fort, and then immediately squatted down and hid in the shadows. Wang Houhou led
There were more than a dozen people, wearing special shoes with cotton pads on the soles, silently following the three Spanish soldiers.
Then he suddenly jumped up and wiped their necks with a dagger. Two or three people dealt with each one, covered their mouths, caught their bodies to prevent them from falling, and made a sound. Then they dragged the bodies into the shadows and hid them. At this time, more than a hundred people
They have already climbed up from more than a dozen rope ladders and moved towards the sentry posts of the fort.
Ten minutes later, the upper outer ring of the fort and more than a dozen sentry posts were removed. The fort is a concentric structure, with the outer ring facing the sea and the river, and the inner ring with stairs going down. Inside is the vault.
Cave-style warehouses and rooms. Their ammunition depot and dormitories are on the middle floor. The bottom floor is the horse stable and fodder warehouse. In the middle is the patio.
At this time, the Spaniards were sleeping soundly, and it was almost dawn. It was a quiet night, and most people went back to sleep. Obviously, the Ming Dynasty's fleet would not come at this time.
Chen Shan and a dozen people were preparing to go down the stairs and threw a grenade into each door of the dormitory below. He saw a dozen people walking out of a house, apparently preparing to go to the gun emplacement.
At this time, it was too late to dodge, and the opponent had already gone up the stairs. Chen Shan quickly took out his revolver.
At this time, they must not be allowed to go up to the level of the gun emplacement, because all the sentries have been dealt with. When they go up, they will find that the suddenness of the sneak attack has been interrupted. Chen Shan made a prompt decision and fired immediately.
Bang bang bang! Chen Shan fired all six bullets, and instantly knocked five people down the stairs. The few people behind had not yet climbed up the stairs, so they were so scared that they hurriedly hid on both sides. Chen Shan didn't talk nonsense.
Yes, I just threw a grenade over.
Boom! A burst of fire shot up into the sky, blowing away several people hiding under the stairs.
"Rush down, open the gate, and welcome the large troops in." Chen Shan shouted.
A dozen people led the way, followed by a whole small flag, and rushed down to the door of the lower level. A few Spanish soldiers who were dozing with their matchlocks were awakened by the sound of gunfire and explosions. Before they had time to do anything,
After realizing what was going on, he was killed by a revolver. More than a dozen people rushed into the city gate and quickly opened the city gate.
When the explosion sounded just now, I knew the outside was exposed. I immediately prepared for a strong attack. At this time, everyone was ready to go. Seeing the fort's city gate open, Chen Shan drew a circle up and down with a lantern and sent out a signal. Immediately
He jumped up and rushed towards the door.
At this time, the sound of explosions and gunfire had awakened the five hundred Spanish soldiers stationed here. They were all sleeping in the vaulted room on the first floor below the gun emplacement. At this time, there was a chaos. Some were wearing clothes, and some were
The soldiers were holding weapons. The officers were shouting loudly to restrain the troops.
Then, a battalion of 500 people rushed into the gate. Gunfire immediately erupted inside the fort.
Yang Fan didn't sleep. He stood on the balcony of the Royal Clipper. He used binoculars to look at the fort in the distance where the fire was soaring into the sky and the gunfire was loud.
After breaking in, Yang Fan felt relieved. As long as the pirate group could break into the fortress, the rest was just a matter of time. Revolvers and grenades were weapons for street fighting, but the Spanish's large matchlock guns were not suitable for street fighting at all because they were too bulky and reloaded.
It's too long.
However, Yang Fan still heard the dense and dull gunfire. The Spanish's heavy matchlock guns opened fire. But at this time, the upper and lower floors of the fort were occupied. The Spanish were suppressed like sandwich cookies. They had turned over
