Jack's power of incitement really came into play. On the third day after Wang Xuan returned to pick up the pirates, he had already deceived three major pirates and seven or eight smaller pirate groups.
These people, some of them have three or five boats, like the three big pirates, each of them has more than 20 boats and more than 2,000 pirates.
All the forces gathered together have a total of more than 8,000 pirates. Of course, they will not all be sent out at once this time!
The three major pirates still had to leave some people to guard their lair, but in the end, the total number of pirates gathered was no less than 6,000.
When the swearing-in ceremony was held on the island, Jack was a little confused when he saw the noisy crowd of more than 6,000 people. There were too many people. He never thought that his appeal would be so great!
It's just like Shen Gongbao never thought that saying "fellow Taoist please stay" would deceive so many Jiejiao disciples!
Could it be that the game went too far, and Wang Xuan burned himself with fire in the end, and was he really captured by these pirates?
But...this seems to be nothing, right?
When the time comes, I can just pretend to be real and have a port to play with. It’s so nice!
Let’s talk about the situation!
The pirates didn't do any pre-enemy reconnaissance or planning. In their words, I don't even know my own plan. It's up to the enemy to guess!
The only plan was to swarm in in the evening and burn, kill, and loot.
On the other side, Wang Xuan was also taking various precautions. Not only did he dismantle a large number of artillery pieces to defend against the opponent's land raids, he also specially selected five relatively shabby boats to park sideways in front of the port terminal.
Fortunately, this plan itself was made by Wang Xuan himself. He had arranged for Arthur to send a ship back in advance to inform the pirates before they set off. Firstly, he wanted to know the enemy's movements, secondly, to know the enemy's strength, and thirdly.
The purpose is to know the approximate attack time of the enemy.
Three days later, Wang Xuan received the message ship sent back by Arthur. It was expected that with the speed of the pirates, they would arrive near Nacha in about a day. In other words, the attack time would be tomorrow evening or the evening after tomorrow.
Such a war is about to break out.
The pirate side has an obvious advantage, with 6,000 troops and more than 40 warships, while Wang Xuan's side has about 1,500 troops. Including the guards at the port, the strength is not more than 2,000. Fortunately, the defensive side is well prepared!
Early the next morning.
Wang Xuan called over several trained captains, "The Fearless and Great White Sharks 1-4 all sailed out and waited at the place we had arranged in advance. When they saw the thick smoke rising from Nazhao, they immediately returned to sail and fought hard.
Block the entrance to the port and resolutely prevent the pirates from escaping!"
"Yes!" The five people stood up and saluted together, and finally hurried out.
On the other side, the port.
"Quick, get all the spare shells ready and put them within easy reach. When the pirates come, hit them hard!"
A group of 'sailors' wearing British naval uniforms were busy preparing for the night battle under command.
There are nearly three hundred large and small artillery pieces gathered here at the port, all of which were dismantled from more than a dozen broken pirate ships. Seven hundred "British Royal Marines" and five hundred guards at the port have begun to recharge their batteries.
Wang Xuan inspected a circle and called people over again, "Send someone with an alarm bell to the highest rock outside the port. If you find pirates coming, ring the bell immediately. Leave a boat below to also prepare the alarm bell, and ring the alarm one by one."
We must pass on the training and do not engage in beacon fire to prevent pirates from discovering it in advance."
At dusk the next day, on a rock outside the port, the sentry rang the alarm bell violently, and then the bells were passed one after another, all the way to the interior of the port.
Immediately, all the sailors began to fill the gun barrels with gunpowder and shells. The firing range had been adjusted early, and the angles that could hit that point had been rigorously calculated. This was also the basis for the accurate firepower of the coastal defense artillery.
Within half an hour, you could see a mast getting bigger in the distance at the port. Slowly, a large group of warships began to approach the port. There were more than 40 warships, which could almost fill most of the port!
Seeing the floating skull and crossbones flag, the unsuspecting people in the port suddenly became confused. Wang Xuan specially arranged not to notify them, so that the pirates could see the chaos in the port. These pirate leaders are all very suspicious guys.
, if I run away at the last moment, it will be almost impossible to find such a good opportunity in the future!
The chaos of the crowd at the port naturally allowed the lookout on the pirate ship to see clearly. The 6,000 people on the pirate ship started shouting together. They were neither neat nor had a unified slogan, but in this chaotic roar
What is revealed is the desire to rob and the anticipation of killing.
The greater the chaos, the more people understand that these are heinous pirates, and their arrival will definitely bring bloodshed and disaster.
With the influx of a large number of pirate ships, everyone on the port has fled, and all sailors and guards are waiting for the signal to start the attack.
Wang Xuan stood on the lighthouse and wiped the sweat from his hands. He was calculating the distance of the pirates. He wanted to wait a little longer until all the pirate ships were within range, leaving enough time for the Dauntless to return.
This is also his first time to experience such a large-scale war!
It’s understandable to be nervous!
In this battle, he almost staked everything he gained in the Caribbean. If he wins, he will rule the Caribbean. If he loses, half a year of hard work will be in vain!
Five hundred meters away, Wang Xuan first ordered the beacon fire to be lit. Now that the beacon fire was lit at this distance, the pirates would no longer be alerted. It was time to send a message to the Dauntless and other warships ambushing outside!
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters... The pirate ships are approaching the port little by little. The one at the front is already less than 200 meters, and the one at the rear is close to 500 meters.
Picking up the short musket in his hand, Wang Xuan took a deep breath and suddenly pulled the trigger toward the sky!
‘Bang’ a red flare shot straight into the sky at a height of 30 meters... Yes, it was a bit short, but it had no choice but to shoot at this range.
However, this is enough. Coupled with the height of the lookout lighthouse, it is enough for everyone in the entire port to see clearly!
The signal flares rose high, and in just a moment, the entire port came alive, and the sounds of "cannon fire" and "cannon fire" resounded throughout the port.
Then, "Boom, boom, boom..." a series of non-stop roars exploded throughout Nazha. Perhaps, this was the most artillery pieces fired at the same time in the history of the Caribbean.
In addition to the 6-pound guns and 3-pound guns responsible for coastal defense and close combat, more than 200 artillery pieces over 12 pounds were fired at the same time. The accuracy was frighteningly high when the firing range had been determined in advance.
The dense artillery shells streaked across the sky like a meteor shower. In Wang Xuan's opinion, this was the most wonderful picture.
