Chapter 495 Only deception
"...What's going on? Why haven't we seen the brothers from the first team come to join us?"

To the northwest of Mingsha Island, the second team of Japanese pirates were preparing to break out and were constantly observing the situation at sea. They couldn't help but be a little confused when they saw that their companions who were supposed to come to join them early had not yet arrived.

One person was confused and said: "If things were going well, they should have come here long ago; if things were not going well, they should have sent a ringing arrow to send a message. How come there is no news at all? It seems like they have completely lost contact."

A Japanese pirate stood on the deck and looked around. Suddenly he saw something and his face beamed with joy: "Here it comes! The first team's boat is here!"

After hearing this, everyone perked up and looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, they saw a large number of sea ships approaching.

At this time, the sun has completely set, night is gradually covering the sky, and the vision becomes blurry.The Japanese pirates squinted their eyes and stared for a long time. It wasn't until the boat got closer that they began to notice something was wrong.

"Why do I look at these ships a little weird...um--that's not right!"

After seeing the incoming ship clearly, the man's eyes widened suddenly, showing horror: "This is not our ship! This is the ship of the officers and soldiers! The officers and soldiers are chasing us!"

"What? The officers and soldiers are chasing us!"

The Japanese pirates were shocked, and some people said in disbelief: "How is this possible? The officers and soldiers have surrounded Mingsha Island. Now we haven't started to break out. The officers and soldiers guarding the northwest are still there, and the officers and soldiers guarding the southwest have been restrained. Okay, where did these officers and soldiers come from? Could it be that the government has added more troops?"

"Impossible!" Another Japanese pirate subconsciously retorted, refusing to believe it no matter what. "The imperial navy has been idle for many years. This time it was just a few months of temporary training. By the way, it also has the artillery of Folangji." , only then can they attack us in a big way, but that’s all.”

"The Imperial Navy only has such a large family background. It is not easy to recruit these people. Where can we add more troops? If the government really had such strong strength, there would be no need to wait until today to attack us. This must be their bluff. , trying to confuse our tactics!”

As he said this, a flash of sternness flashed in the man's eyes: "No matter what, we have no way to look back now, so we can only go forward recklessly. Since the people from the first team are not coming, we don't have to wait for them. We need to take care of them first." Take care of yourself. Sail the boat and break out!"

Seeing more than a dozen Japanese pirate ships trying to ram into the encirclement and forcefully break out, Gu Yunji and his party were not surprised when they chased them from the southwest to the northwest: "The group of Japanese pirates in the southwest looked very powerful before, but there were only a lot of boats but no people. Sure enough, they were just To divert our attention so we can make time for other people.”

"Want to break out and escape like this? Dreaming! Divine Cannon——"

Previously, each of the three divine cannons used four muskets, and there were still three left. Now twelve shells were fired at the same time, which without any accident smashed the Japanese pirate ship to pieces.

At this point, all seven muskets have been fired, the Shenwei Cannon has played its greatest role, and the team has made a successful exit.The officers and soldiers began to briefly clean the battlefield and check the casualties of the Japanese pirates.

However, on the ship accompanying the officers and soldiers, Eberg, who witnessed the power of the divine cannon, had a gloomy expression.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth angrily: "...added together, a cannon has almost seven muskets. Its effective firing range is at least nearly three miles, and it can even hit targets four miles away..."

"I just gave them a tour. Not to mention that the gunsmith was poached, but in just one month, he actually taught them to copy a cannon with performance even better than the Franco machine gun! It seems that I underestimated him before. You, Chinese people...good, very good!" Joseph, another minister of the Franco royal family, was used to taking care of Aiberg in everything, and subconsciously asked his opinion: "Then what should we do now? Directly Go question Mei Feng, or simply write a letter to Her Majesty the Queen and ask Franji to break with Huaxia?"

"Have you been kicked in the head by a turkey?" Aiberg cursed, hating the iron that cannot be transformed into steel. "Have you forgotten that we also cooperate with the Chinese government? You dare to question me even if you haven't even received the money for the firearms? Are you afraid that they will fulfill their agreement?"

"You even wrote to Her Majesty the Queen, asking Franji to break with China... The two countries are separated by an ocean. Why don't you just ask Her Majesty to send the Royal Navy to the east to conquer China?! You are such a stupid person like you? What a misfortune I have to work with!”

Whether at home or in the caravan, Aiberg's status was higher than that of Joseph. He did not dare to refute, so he could only ask: "But the Chinese people do one thing in front of their faces and another behind their backs. They have taken our Fo Langji seriously and are still showing off their power to us like this. Shouldn’t we just sit back and ignore it?”

"Then what else do you want to do? Until the payment for the firearms is received, we can only endure it." Aiberg said angrily, "But you are right, the Chinese are not good partners. We will wait until the matter is settled. We have to find another way out as soon as possible.”

……

Gu Yunji and others did not know much about Aiberg's mental journey after seeing the Shenwei Cannon. Currently, their attention was focused on exterminating the Japanese pirates.

The two groups of Japanese pirates before and after were wiped out, but after counting the number of Japanese pirates, it was found that this was less than half of the existing Japanese pirates on Mingsha Island, which meant that at least half of the Japanese pirates had not been discovered.

Su Qi said solemnly: "If Gao Shishu wanted to break out, he would definitely make more than this preparation. The first group of Japanese pirate ships had a small number of people, and it was just a bluff, probably to attract our attention. The second group of Japanese pirate ships were half missing. , but the number of people has greatly increased, equipped with a large number of weapons, it should be the main breakout team."

"The ship was beaten by us, the weapons were confiscated by us, and the two Japanese pirate teams at the front and back have been eliminated. So the one that has not yet been discovered should be their only main evacuation team, which is also the team with the largest number of people."

After sorting out the causes and consequences, Gao Shishu's plan was almost guessed. Su Qi calmly issued an order: "Gather all the existing warships and search around Mingsha Island. Once a Japanese pirate ship is found, attack immediately and leave no one behind." !”

There was no news from the first and second teams. Without their cover, it would be even more difficult for the third team to evacuate.However, they now have no other way out. They can only brave the layers of surrounded by officers and soldiers, use the boat as a weapon, and break out of the encirclement.

After a fierce battle, the original team of 4000 to 500 people was reduced to less than [-] people. The ship was also damaged to varying degrees, and it might be possible that it would fall apart and sink at some point.

Although the price was heavy, the breakout was barely successful. Seeing that there were more officers and soldiers behind them trying to catch up, hundreds of people did not dare to stop for a moment and drove the boat quickly towards the northeast.

When we arrived at the predetermined location, there was no Japanese receiving ship. There was only a vast sea and nothing else.

At this moment, what else do the Japanese pirates not understand?They finally escaped death and managed to get here in one breath, but they didn't want to be deceived only.

All the Japanese pirates collapsed on the spot and collapsed on the ground in despair. Reluctance and anger surged in their chests: "Gao Shishu, you villain, you lied to me! You will not die well!"
