At the port of Ningbo Prefecture, ships of all sizes were moored. Porters on the dock came and went, shouts and chants came and went, and it was a bustling scene.

And on the sea not far away, dozens of unknown ships were quickly approaching here.

"...His grandpa's seems to have at least dozens of large cargo ships. If they can all be snatched and sailed away, we will be rich! There is no need to serve Fujiwara Inuhara as his little brother, and he can directly become a king and a prince on his own. Everything works!”

On one of the ships, a Japanese pirate looked at it with a Western telescope for a long time, his eyes shining with excitement, and he wanted to rush over immediately and take all the ship's cargo for himself.

"Brothers, copycats, prepare for a big fight!"

……

While the Japanese pirates were gearing up, in the port, Gu Yunji and the others, dressed in light military uniforms, were also highly concentrated and paying close attention to the situation at sea.

"Master Gu, do you think Gao Shishu and the others will come? If they don't come, wouldn't our preparations be in vain?"

Gu Yunji put down the telescope and said to Shen Baiyi: "We have released the news early that there is a large amount of goods being handed over in Ningbo Prefecture, and the Japanese pirates all think that our recent defense focus is in Fujian. With such a big gap, it is impossible for them not to come."

Shen Baiyi's eyes showed worry: "I'm just worried that Gao Shishu is suspicious. If he finds out that we deliberately set a trap for him to take the bait, he will probably become even more secluded from Mingsha Island. It will be difficult to completely eradicate the Japanese pirates." It’s getting harder.”

"Gao Shishu is now almost without food and grass, so what if he continues to shrink? It's better to wait for death." Su Qi from the side interjected, "Now they have no way out. Even if they suspect this is a trap, they can only jump in without hesitation. , give it a last try."

"Report-"

At this time, a messenger hurried over: "General, we saw a large number of unknown ships approaching quickly from the front, suspected of being attacked by Japanese pirates!"

"Sure enough!"

Su Qi perked up after hearing this and immediately led everyone forward: "Come down and prepare to fight!"

-

"...There are still two hundred steps...a hundred steps...fifty steps...the distance is enough, drop the bomb!"

Following the order from the Japanese pirates, the pirates aimed at a large cargo ship anchored outside the port and threw a large number of lime bombs and incendiary bombs.White smoke filled the air instantly, and amid the flames, the figures on the boat were scattered, and faint panicked shouts could be heard.

Looking at this long-lost melee scene, the Japanese pirates seemed to have seen a beast struggling for prey. A rush of blood rushed to their foreheads, and all the cells in their bodies were screaming for killing.

They waved their weapons, screamed and threw grappling hooks and ladders at the cargo ship. When they boarded the ship, they were dumbfounded.

"Where are the people? Why is there no one!"

The huge cargo ship was still filled with white smoke, but it was empty inside and out, with no one around, just like a ghost ship.

With a crash, a Japanese pirate opened the box containing goods with a knife. There was no doubt that they were all empty.The entire ship was an empty shell from top to bottom. Not to mention the people, not even a living creature was visible. "Damn! We've fallen into a trap!" The leader of the Japanese pirates punched the box and gritted his teeth.

The other Japanese pirates suddenly panicked: "Then, what should we do? Boss, is there an ambush waiting for us from the government? Let's go back to find the gang leader first..."

"Why panic! Even if we have to go back, we have to find out the situation at least. It would be weird if we, the vanguard, go back to see the gang leader with a blind eye like this, and we will reap the rewards!"

The man scolded fiercely, with a gloomy face: "Just now I heard someone on the boat shouting in panic from a distance. Even if it was just pretending, someone would have to be able to pretend. In such a short time, they must not have gone far, search!" If you can kill one, that’s one!”

"Yes!"

After some searching, they really found traces. A Japanese pirate pointed at the sea not far away from the stern and shouted: "Boss, look, they are there!"

The leader of the Japanese pirates looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough he saw a small boat with a few officers and soldiers on it, paddling quickly towards the port.I think the confusion mission is completed, and I am ready to go back and report to the commander.

"Oh, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are really brave. Only a few of them dared to come and use themselves as a decoy. However, they were still so slow that they didn't even know how to run away faster. I can only say that you were unlucky when you met me." The Japanese pirate sneered twice, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Bring me the bow and arrows!"

Taking the bow and arrow handed over by his subordinates, the Japanese pirate pulled it to the maximum with all his strength and aimed it at the officers and soldiers on the boat not far away. He narrowed his eyes and said: "Old officers and soldiers, I will send you to... ugh!"

Before the Japanese pirates' arrows were fired, there was a "bang" explosion, and fire flashed in front of several people's eyes. After they came to their senses, several Japanese pirates had large and small burnt holes left on their bodies, and they were seeping out. With blood.

The Japanese pirate who drew the bow before had endured the most ammunition, and his body instantly went limp and he died on the spot.

The small firearms of this era fired multiple lead bullets or iron bullets at once, which was a range of damage. Several Japanese pirates nearby suffered varying degrees of injuries.In severe cases, blood oozes from the corners of the mouth, rolling on the ground in extreme pain, screaming miserably, and dying slowly until the energy is completely exhausted.

The several Japanese pirates who were slightly injured were so frightened that their faces were like gold paper. They looked around in panic, only to find that dozens of "cargo ships" in front of them were slowly approaching them. There were not merchants on board, but a row of black holes. The muzzles of firearms and the description of solemn officers and soldiers.

The Japanese pirates' eyes were horrified, and their souls were trembling for a moment. They didn't care about grabbing any goods. They ran back in a hurry and yelled: "Retreat! Retreat! There is an ambush——"

……

"Huh - this Folang Robot's musket feels really good, with high accuracy and low recoil. It is much easier to use than the old style that was eliminated by the Shenji Battalion more than ten years ago."

On one of the ships full of officers and soldiers, Su Qi blew the smoke from the musket in his hand and said with a relaxed expression: "I still have to give His Majesty a few more concessions to get the imperial court to put firearms manufacturing on the agenda. It's such a good idea." Of course, we must give each of our coastal officers and soldiers a musket, so that we can train the most powerful navy."

Gu Yunji said helplessly: "Everyone has a musket. Even the Shenji Battalion does not have such a good equipment. It would be good to equip half of the soldiers with firearms. Besides, it is still early. For now, we still need to eradicate Gao Shishu. want."

Just as he was talking, the messenger ran over and said, "My lords, the Japanese pirates have fled towards Mingsha Island."

"You're running away now? It doesn't look like you've been beaten very well."

Su Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then calmed down and said sternly: "Give me an order, all units should quickly form their teams and pursue Gao Shishu and his gang with all their strength. Don't let anyone escape!"
