Four pirate ships of different sizes formed a new fleet and headed straight for the land.
While the pirate ship was traveling, it also encountered several cargo ships, scaring them so much that they ran away with their heads in their hands.
If a cargo ship encounters a pirate group of this size, once it falls into the hands of the opponent, it may be swallowed up to the point where no bones are left.
The wisest thing to do is to escape quickly, as far as you can.
After waiting for a while, the cargo ship realized that something was wrong, and the pirate ship did not catch up.
The sailors on the cargo ship were very surprised when this happened.
Leaving a fully loaded cargo ship without grabbing it but allowing it to pass freely is as shocking as a tiger not eating meat but eating grass instead.
Although I don’t know the reason, I also know that it is a good thing, which is equivalent to avoiding a major disaster.
There were many cargo ships along the way that had experienced similar things, and they were also confused.
They know very well that pirates cannot transform into good people, but should have other things to do.
Looking at the direction of sailing, it is obvious that it is heading to a land port.
Pirates would not dare to approach a place like this easily. At most, they would disguise themselves and go secretly.
Otherwise, if caught by the government, he will be thrown into a stinking water prison and then hanged in public on a suitable day.
Things like this have happened many times in the past, and there are still dried pirate corpses on the wooden piles in the harbor.
Knowing that the punishment was harsh, but still rushing to the port dock, shows that it is definitely not a trivial matter.
Maybe it won’t be long before we hear amazing news.
On the sailing pirate ship, a group of pirates were preparing for landing operations, and each one was fully armed.
Just before today, a group of pirates were hostile to each other and would slash each other with knives when they met.
But in a short period of time, they were forcibly fused together and participated in the landing operation together.
Things like this, which I would have never dared to think about in the past, have now become a reality.
Sure enough, when it comes to the extraordinary, anything is possible.
Whether they like it or not, a group of pirates have to obey orders or risk being thrown into the sea.
Those pirate leaders who were soaked in the sea and now do not know whether they are alive or dead are actually the best proof.
If you don't obey orders, death will come at any time.
The pirates were indeed afraid of the next action, but when they thought of Tang Zhen's extraordinary abilities, they gained a little more confidence.
The strength of these three groups of pirates is also not weak, and they are enough to run rampant in this sea area.
But after encountering Tang Zhen, he had no power to fight back and was easily overpowered.
The ruffian officers and soldiers at the port are not necessarily much better than the pirates. When faced with extraordinary power, they may behave in even more embarrassment.
Some experienced pirates are worried that there are extraordinary people in the government, which will offset their own advantages.
In fact, a long time ago, there were various rumors in the pirate circle that there were extraordinary beings in the official yamen.
But these extraordinary beings will not take action easily, and ordinary people have no chance to see them.
The vast majority of ordinary people have never seen an extraordinary person in their entire life, or even know of their existence.
In this sea chase, the pirates will not only meet the extraordinary, but they will also land and fight with each other.
Just thinking about this kind of thing makes my heart beat wildly.
In the following time, the four pirate ships moved forward, getting closer and closer to the shore.
When the pirates sighted the shoreline, the pirate ship was also spotted by official patrol boats, and soon piercing sirens sounded.
The official troops on the shore immediately entered a defensive state after receiving the alert.
The officers and soldiers in charge of guarding were all stunned at this moment, and even thought they had received a false alarm.
This kind of pirate attack on the port and challenge the official army has only happened twice in the past hundred years.
But every time it happens, it causes a huge stir.
I didn't expect that there would be pirates again today. Attacking the port in broad daylight is definitely a big deal.
The garrison officer guarding the port was feeling uneasy at the moment.
I am afraid that something big will happen and I will be affected again. That would be extremely unlucky.
He spent a lot of money to buy the official position of harbor guard officer, which was considered a lucrative job.
I thought that after working for a few years and earning enough benefits, I could seek a better official position.
But he never dreamed that he would be attacked by pirates. Needless to say, he was depressed inside.
The angry and anxious garrison officer directed the personnel to defend while notifying the superior department of the news.
No matter how big or small the matter is, the superior department must be informed so that it is best to seek assistance in a timely manner.
There is also a military port nearby. After receiving the news, warships can provide assistance.
There is also a military camp in the nearby city, which can mobilize a large number of manpower to participate in the battle.
When the defense officer thought of this, his nervousness relaxed slightly.
They are just a group of pirates. Although they are extremely vicious, their overall quality is far inferior to that of the officers and soldiers.
Not to mention that in this battle, the official defense camp has a huge advantage.
The longer you delay, the more advantage you gain.
After some analysis, the defense officer let go of his uneasiness and became more confident.
He suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing if the port was attacked by pirates.
If he can defeat the pirates, he will definitely achieve great success, and he will be promoted to a noble rank soon.
Good things like this, others may not be able to come across if they want to, but now they take the initiative to bring them to themselves.
This is an opportunity. If you can grasp it well, you will definitely get huge benefits.
If you are willing to spend more money to manage it and run it well in private, you may be able to become a hero.
The defensive officer's expression changed, and soon he showed an expression of excitement, and the original fear and anxiety were swept away.
He seemed to be drunk and kept giving orders, and he seemed to have the air of a general.
The courage of the general and the performance of the garrison officer gave the soldiers a lot of confidence.
Not long after, all the combatants were in place, and the artillery was aimed at the sea outside the port.
At this time, four black flag pirate ships could be seen approaching quickly, not far from the shore.
The pirate skull and crossbones flag is fluttering in the wind, the battle horn has been sounded, and a war will inevitably occur.
At this time, there were already soldiers, shouting warnings and waving flags in their hands.
In this way, pirate ships are prevented from approaching.
This can be regarded as politeness first, then fighting. After all, war is something that should be avoided whenever possible.
If it can be resolved through negotiation, it would be great. If the negotiation fails, it will not be too late to take action.
Under normal circumstances, officers and soldiers are the nemesis of pirates, and the latter avoid the former.
However, in a state of war, pirates have become unscrupulous, and their official status is no longer enough to act as a deterrent.
Regardless of whether you are an officer or a soldier, when faced with a life-and-death fight, pirates really dare to attack, otherwise they will be the ones who die.
The pirate ship turned a deaf ear to the warnings of the port officers and soldiers and just kept approaching the port.
Seeing this scene, the guards knew very well that this war was inevitable.
"fire!"
The garrison officer gave the order, the artillery roared, and the shells flew towards the sea.
On the sea surface of the port, water columns rose into the sky, which were the traces of cannonballs entering the water.
The helmsman of the pirate ship skillfully controlled the sailboat, trying to avoid the fierce attack from the shore.
Facing a hail of bullets, it is simply impossible to land unscathed.
At this time, you can only pray and try not to be hit by the shells, or the time and number of hits will be later.
After all, at this moment, the pirate ships were a bunch of moving targets. Although they kept firing back fire, the hit rate was completely negligible.
No matter how skilled the gunner is, it will be difficult for him to accurately hit targets on the shore on such a moving pirate ship.
When the officers and soldiers on the shore saw this, they were immediately overjoyed and confirmed that they could all be sent into the sea to feed the fish before the pirates landed.
