Chapter 264: Impact

Before several guards heading towards Ming'andong arrived, the situation was discovered at the port. In this weather, only the few tiger-toothed ships equipped with three-man gun groups were ready with turbulent bombs. In this weather, in the port where many ships were already crowded, the tiger-toothed ships were not good to set sail to cruise the port anymore. The few light crossbows had a limited range and could not cover the entire main channel of the port. At this time, several ships rushed into the port area directly, and the sails blew up by the violent wind had no intention of taking them off. The ships crashed into the port directly and collided with the ships that were originally tied to the port. The close-up melee began immediately.

Not only that, the combat power that the Black Hawk Gang pieced together this time should not be underestimated. There are more than 100 ships of all sizes, including large ships that can carry two or three hundred people, and small ships that can only carry twenty or thirty people. Only a few of them rushed into the port. In order to avoid blocking the port area and to send enough troops at one time to create a local advantage, the Black Hawk Gang actually landed on the entire beach with all his bets. The warships hit the beach directly. The Black Hawk Gang did understand the terrain and water near Jiaoya Island.

In the literature, they were divided into three routes and attacked the main island from three directions. The places they chose were all without reefs and large exposed beaches. The boats could directly rush to the beach, so that the sailors and the Black Hawk Gang worshippers who were loaded on the boat could jump to the beach directly from the boat. Although they hit the beach, the huge impact force that deliberately caused the stranding inevitably made the boat mess. Some people who were not prepared were injured before the battle started, and even hit the beach from the boat, and their muscles and bones broke and even died directly.

However, a large number of Black Hawk Gang members successfully landed and began to fight towards the island.

The courtyard on the hillside where Ye Tao is located is good, so it will not be attacked soon. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the guards around Ye Tao is incomparable to the guards of the merchants. More importantly, to be able to lead to the top of the mountain, where Qi Zhentao is now, Ye Tao is a must-pass place. If you don’t walk here, you have to climb up from a path behind the island. I think in this weather, in this tense atmosphere, even if the Black Hawk Gang members dare to come up from this path, there will be no few people.

"Guan Huan, go to the top of the mountain to see what Mr. Qi is going to do, bring back some news." Seeing that things became out of control, Liu Yong stood up and ordered in a deep voice.

Guan Huan hurriedly went, and at this time, the well-trained guards were all covered with helmets and armor, and were ready to go.

"Wu Ping'an, Zhou Rui. You two bring twenty people with you, rushed down to meet, gather the scattered people together, and concentrate on defending the enemy. You can decide everything, if there is any disturbance to the morale of the army and endangering the safety of others, no matter who it is, you will deal with it first." Liu Yong said firmly.

"Bi Xiaoqing, you bring three people in the yard. Everyone gathers together. The important things are also gathered. If there is a fish that rushes in, you will leave it to you."

"The rest of the people are arranged in the intersection in front of the yard. There are only a few places here, so I want to see who can rush up." Liu Yong snorted coldly. In fact, he wanted to go down the mountain to meet those people by himself. With his status and status, he would have to subdue those who were disobedient and dared to speak and move around, causing the chaotic scene to become more and more shaken. However, in this chaotic situation, he did not dare to leave Ye Tao. In fact, the staff of the Qihai Trading Company on the island was only a lot more than those of the Black Hawk Gang who attacked the island, but there were more non-combatants among all these people. The first thing the merchants had to consider was to protect their own bosses, and they might not dare to risk coming out in the wind and rain to join the enemy with their own hands, and this way, they would be more easily defeated by them.

Liu Yong planned to focus on this small courtyard here, and gathered the deacons to approach here. On the other hand, he came up. If it were other occasions, Liu Yong might not care about the life and death of those merchants, but all the merchants and deacons who attended the meeting this time would make more or less significant contributions to the future deployment of Qihai Trading Company. If the damage was too great, there would be problems with the operation of Qihai Trading Company for a period of time. The significance of Qihai Trading Company to Dongping was not just a trading company. However, the manpower in his hands was really limited. Although Ye Tao was respectful in his identity, more than 60 people came to Jiaoyayu for a meeting this time, forty-eight of them were guards and soldiers of the special camp, but these forty-eight people were far from enough to reverse the chaotic situation.

Seeing that Ye Tao also started wearing armor and took out a sword with both hands, Liu Yong was about to go up and dissuade him, but after a change of thought, he said, "Sir, try to get close to me no matter what. Be careful yourself and don't show off."

Ye Tao responded calmly: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I know."

Ye Tao, wearing full-body armor, is not much more dangerous than hiding in the room. The scarce manpower makes the defense of the people in the yard far less safe than being surrounded by guards outside. To be aware of danger, the danger of catching a cold may be much greater than the danger of being killed.

The first person to respond to the horn sound here was the people from the Liu family not far away. The old man was wearing a straw raincoat, carrying twenty or thirty guards, carrying a few big boxes. Liu Qing is now a person in charge of the businessman, and he has always been responsible for the contact between Ye Tao and Qihai Trading Company. Although Liu Qing was originally the illegitimate son of Mr. Liu, although he was quite favored by the old man but had an awkward position, Liu Qing now does not need to be entangled in the division of the Liu family's property. Whether it was because of Liu Qing or because of Mr. Liu's slight gratitude to Ye Tao because of Liu Qing, the Liu family has a sense of trust in Ye Tao. When the old man came, he didn't say much. After a few words with Ye Tao, he began to coordinate and resettlement work in the original courtyard.

In this chaos all over the island, when some people began to work hard to organize some order, the people who were most anxious may not be the people of Qihai Trading Company, but the Black Hawk Gang. They did have the advantage in a short time, but if they could not gain an absolute advantage in the shortest possible time, occupy key positions such as the port and the Juyi Hall used as the conference hall after simple modification by Qihai Trading Company, once they were organized to effectively defend themselves, the situation would be a problem.

"Have Shark Eyes and the others contacted?" Among the last group of people who boarded the main island of Jiaoya Island, Xu Hanchao, the leader of the Black Eagle Gang. As soon as he climbed to Shanghai, he immediately asked about the progress of Shark Eyes and the others. Then he asked the hall masters: "How is the progress of the port? Can you take it down?"

A hall master shook his head silently, his face very gloomy: "Old man Chao has been in the port and has never got off the boat. We really have no choice but to do anything about his town there."

"Okay... it's Old Man Chao again." Xu Hanchao spitted: "Why didn't this old man return to heaven earlier?"

The old man Chao is named Chao Ge. Speaking of his pirates, he is more experienced than Qi Zhentao, but Chao Ge is still a naval warfare genius and doesn't understand anything else. Whether it is a small sampan or the current Tiger Teeth Fleet, the basic tactics are formulated by Chao Ge. Now Chao Ge is also the unspoken commander-in-chief when the members of the Qihai Trading Company join forces to launch an attack. But Chao Ge has a very typical professional habit: he can't sleep in the bed without shaking. Chao Ge's home is located on a specially built warship. When Qi Zhentao was there, he usually sits on Qi Zhentao's flagship and serves as the commander of the entire fleet. Usually, this is just a strange problem that everyone will laugh at, but now it has become one of the keys to stabilize the port.

Qihai Trading Company has a Ye Family Workshop as a supporter, which has a huge profit from maritime trade, but it is not as large as the Dongping military, so it has to consider the cost. Especially now, each company has its own escort forces, and it is somewhat comparable to each other. The sailors who stay on the ships stationed in the port are extremely well-equipped. Although Qihai Trading Company rarely uses jumping gang battles to fight on the sidelines, but is used to bullying the enemy with crossbows and oil bombs, the sailors still have leather armor and a Park knife with a length and shortness.

Chao Ge, who was qualified, was in charge, and the well-equipped and strictly trained sailors fought hard. In the port where the Black Hawk Gang had high hopes, the Black Hawk Gang's desperate attack did not play much role. The gang members who landed in other places were unable to rush over to attack the port for a while.

"Burn! Burn it for me!" Xu Hanchao gritted his teeth and said, "Tap on those imitation turbulent bombs and burn for me."

As soon as Xu Hanchao's order arrived, he was a little stunned. The Black Hawk Gang's gang members became more and more crazy. The sulphur bullets they imitated were not as high-end as oil fractions, but things like animal fat and tung oil. Although the power was much different and there was no chance of detonating effect, at least one thing was the same, that is, the strong erosion and combustion ability of wooden shipboard materials and the basic characteristics of burning on the water. One by one, the ignited small jars were thrown on the decks that had to be taken for huge casualties to capture. The original sulphur bombs stored in the ships of the Qihai Trading Company that had already cost a lot of money were all turned out and threw them towards the ship beside them. Some hit the target they wanted to destroy, while others hit the water surface, spreading a layer of burning membrane throughout the water surface...
