"It's not good! It's not good, Gang Leader!"

A Japanese pirate ran up to Gao Shishu out of breath and said intermittently: "... The government, the government has an ambush at the port. There is no handover of goods at all. The cargo boxes on the ship are all empty. We have fallen into a trap! "

"The government has dispatched a large number of warships and a lot of firearms. It looks like they are going to catch us all in one fell swoop! Nearly half of the brothers who were in the vanguard have been lost, and several ships have been lost. It seems that the officers and soldiers are about to catch up. What should we do?"

"what?!"

Gao Shishu's expression changed when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly. Darkness flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There is indeed an ambush. I knew it wouldn't be so easy..."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and ordered decisively: "Retreat immediately! Let's return to Mingsha Island now and prepare to go to Japan!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Gao Shishu's order to retreat, the Japanese pirates began to flee in large numbers and drove straight to Mingsha Island in their boats.At the same time, the officers and soldiers at the port moved quickly to pursue the Japanese pirates.

Perhaps the situation changed too suddenly, and the Japanese pirates were not expecting it. In addition, they were already unsure. They were in chaos for a while, and their retreat was haphazard. At every turn, lone ships were caught up by officers and soldiers, and then they were suppressed. Kill them cleanly.

By the time the Japanese pirates returned to the waters near Mingsha Island, more than half of their number had been lost, and the boats had been damaged to varying degrees. A group of people fled back in a panic, like bereaved dogs.

"Stop the boat!"

Seeing that Mingsha Island was getting closer and closer, the Japanese pirate ship was just ahead, but the helmsman stopped moving forward and jogged back to report: "My lord, you can't go any further. There are reefs everywhere around Mingsha Island. We are not familiar with the environment and if we move forward rashly, we will hit the rocks and sink."

Su Qi narrowed his eyes, looked at the situation ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Look, we are only three or four miles away from the Japanese pirates' ship, which is not too far. We can't follow them closely, or Follow their path?"

"It won't work, Lord." The helmsman shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's different on the sea and on the land. If it's a land battle, it's easy for the enemy to leave traces wherever they go, such as footprints on the road, and quilts. Overwhelming grass, etc., we just have to follow the trail and chase them."

"However, the sea is vast and surrounded by water. An inexperienced helmsman might lose his way. Now it seems that we can follow the Japanese pirates' route, but when we get to the place, we can't tell which is which. .”

"Mingsha Island is surrounded by hidden reefs. If you are not careful, you will hit the rocks and sink the ship and lose your life. Unless there is an experienced veteran to lead the way, a young man will never dare to just drive the boat over."

Gu Yunji's heart sank when he heard this: "You are one of the most experienced helmsmen among the officers and soldiers of Zhejiang. If you say you are not sure, then others will be even less able. It is not that there are no veterans who know the way now, but it is a pity. They are all on the Japanese pirates’ side.”

Su Qi paced back and forth on the deck. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of any effective way. He simply ordered: "In that case, let's just move all the ships out and surround Mingsha Island. We can't get in." Go, then they won’t even think of coming out.”

"Don't you like to hide? Then let's fight with them and see who can outsmart the other!"

On Mingsha Island, the Japanese pirates were in a gloomy mood, and the atmosphere was even more depressing than in previous days.The original intention was to do one more thing before leaving, so as to save some wealth for the future trip to Japan, but I didn't want to steal the chicken but lose the rice. Not to mention the things I didn't grab, I almost lost my life.

A Japanese pirate witnessed his companion being killed by a musket. The death was tragic. At this moment, his emotions were close to collapse. With red eyes, he choked and said: "...I told you not to do this a long time ago... Now that we have found a way out, just leave. Why do you still have to provoke the government..."

"The result is now good. When it comes to important cargo transfers, Ningbo Port is full of fat sheep... There is no such thing, it is a trap set by the government! We were still stupid and dug in... Now the officers and soldiers have taken Mingsha Island Surrounded by everyone, we can’t fly out even if we have wings. We are really waiting to die now..."

Others were in a similar state, either on the verge of despair or feeling remorseful. Sometimes they cursed the government, and sometimes they burst into tears. They hated themselves for why they took this wrong path in the first place. They should have been a good citizen if they had known better.

For a time, the Japanese pirates were crying, scolding, and making a lot of noise, which made people upset.

"enough!"

Gao Shishu shouted, his eyes were red, and his whole body was full of anger: "Now you know whether this should be done or not? What did his father do! If you want to die, stay away from me, and don't mourn in front of me!" The Japanese ship is almost here, I still want to live!"

As soon as these words came out, the noise around him suddenly stopped.

A Japanese pirate still had wet tears on his face and his eyes were filled with astonishment: "...What? The Japanese ship is coming soon? Then we don't have to wait to die?"

However, others quickly poured cold water on it: "What will happen if the Japanese ship arrives? The officers and soldiers have surrounded Mingsha Island. We can't get out, and the Japanese can't get in. How can we leave?"

Gao Shishu's eyes were heavy: "That's why we need to plan and discuss it carefully."

As he spoke, he spread out the map and demonstrated it to everyone: "Mingsha Island is very big, but the government only has dozens of ships. They say they are surrounding the island, but in fact the encirclement is not close. The ships are far apart. This gives us an opportunity to take advantage of.”

"The government's ships are mainly coming from the southwest. When the time comes, we will divide our troops into three groups. The first group will send a large number of ships to create false momentum and directly confront the officers and soldiers in the southwest to attract their attention. In order to meet the challenge, they must To maneuver ships from nearby, the siege on the south and west of Mingsha Island is basically loose."

"Then we divide the second team and walk from the northwest. While breaking through, we deal with the officers and soldiers to buy time for the third team. At this time, the fighting is basically concentrated in the west and north of the island, and the east and south defenses are quite weak. And we The third team, which is also the main evacuation team, will go from the east."

"The Japanese ships will be waiting for us in the northeast. After the third team comes out from the east, they will circle directly north to find the Japanese ships. After the first team successfully attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, they fought and retreated, and slowly walked northwest , meet up with the second team, and finally have to go around to the northeast, let’s go to Japan together.”

After talking about the plan in one breath, Gao Shishu straightened up and said, "If everyone has no objection to this, we will start discussing the division of labor."

From a rough listen, this plan seemed to be pretty good. The Japanese pirates looked at each other and didn't find anything wrong for the time being.One person suddenly thought of something and looked at Gao Shishu suspiciously: "What about you? Which team are you on?" (End of Chapter)
