927 The big event is fixed

Pirates are actually not very brave, especially when they go ashore. However, in this situation, even if they are cautious, they can see the official naval warships in Taiping Port, and there are only so many. Moreover, the only warships are mostly small boats, and there are very few really large warships. In addition, the entire sea surface is clear at a glance, and there are no ambush. Just imagine, in this case, if these pirates don’t let go, they might as well go home to farm. It’s really not suitable to be desperate people on the sea!

To be honest, just those naval warships, everyone can solve the problem by rushing forward. The only thing that needs to be considered is actually those shore artillery. But they all know the shore artillery of Taiping Port, and there are only so many. Although some people may be unlucky, it is impossible for so many people to happen to be themselves, right?

The pirate ships that were swarming up rushed into the port. Seeing that they were about to rush to the naval warship that was preparing to fight, the shore cannons finally began to roar.

The sound of "boom boom boom boom" continued to sound, and iron bullets roared out, and in just a blink of an eye, it smashed through the board of the unlucky pirate ship. However, in this era, this kind of live-fire attack will not cause the ship to disintegrate and sink immediately. In contrast, those pirate ships caught in the bombardment have accelerated their speed to rush to the shore.

In Taiping Port, there are ships densely filled with boats, and the sound of cannons rumbling, but they cannot hide the shouts of killing.

Liu Xiang stood on the flagship and saw so many ships in front of him rushing into Taiping Port, and couldn't help but laugh: "Zheng Yiguan, you have today too! Look, your nest will be taken over by me!"

He stood next to him. When he heard his words, a strange expression flashed across his face. He didn't say anything, but just looked at the front with his eyes, wanting to see where the sudden change would begin?

Just as they were thinking, they suddenly saw the government navy rushing out several small boats and heading towards the numerous pirate ships.

"Arson ship?" Liu Xiang couldn't help but tilt the corner of her mouth when she saw it, "I just knew that Zheng Yiguan was actually just that little ability!"

Although there were his subordinates in the pirate ships ahead, he seemed to be very concerned. How many bows can those arson ships burn?

As expected, the small boats that rushed out were actually fireboats. They lit the pirate ships they encountered with iron hooks. The fire was fierce, and in just a short while, they burned onto the pirate ship. For a moment, people were underground like dumplings in the water nearby.

On the other side, Putmans, his flagship would naturally not rush forward. Looking at the burning Taiping Port on the outside, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. Although he thought his fleet was fast and powerful, he would have a headache if he really encountered these arson ships.

The pirate ships that were not burned avoided the burning one after another and continued to rush forward. During this process, some unlucky pirate ships were hit by several iron bombs in a row, and finally leaked too much. Before they could dock, they had already sank slowly.

What surprised Liu Xiang was that the big ships from the government even began to catch fire and rushed towards the pirate ship.

"Haha, do you see?" Liu Xiang pointed at her finger and laughed: "Zheng Yiguan's people know that they can't protect those ships. I don't know if Zheng Yiguan is here. I really want to see what his expression is at this time!"

"It's definitely not the kind of expression you said you thought!" The third leader thought to himself. He was sure of this.

In the distance, many soldiers from Zheng Yiguan's naval army fled to the shore and fled in scattered areas, with no rules at all.

Although the pirates are already in chaos and have no rules, they probably avoid the fired ships and try to get on the shore to get ashore to rob.

However, the fired ships were blocked halfway into the port, and they seemed to want to block the pirate ships on the periphery but failed. In the end, they only blocked half of the sea. Many pirate ships squeezed into the other half of the sea and squeezed into it. In the end, the remaining ships at the government naval station were also lit fires, but there was no one on the ship. Obviously, they saw that they could not do anything. They just ignited the fire to block the time when the pirates got ashore, and the sailors also fled to the shore.

The pirate ships rushing forward and entering the inner harbor used hooks, sickle guns, poles, etc. to push the fired ships away. But no matter what, after being delayed by these arson ships, the pirate ships could not reach the shore in time and were blocked in the inner harbor.

Of course, there were also some more impatient pirates who looked at the sailors who were almost running away on the shore, jumped into the boat and swam to the shore.

The sound of "boom boom boom boom" continued, which made Liu Xiang a little annoyed. After looking at the shore cannons, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn, don't be caught when you look back, let's break you all!"

Taiping Port is already like this. Can you still defend it with just those shore cannons? That would be a real ghost!

Finally, some pirates who were swimming on the shore went ashore and waved their swords and guns and thought of robbing. But at this moment, some officers and soldiers on the shore returned, thinking about intercepting the pirates who came ashore. After a little look, you can probably see that it was the leaders of those officers and soldiers who were pressing the formation.

After all, there were few pirates swimming on the water. A few of them were killed by the soldiers in groups. The other pirates were scared and hurried back to the coast.

"Huh, did you see?" Liu Xiang suddenly exclaimed, "I know the one who supervised the battle if he was burned to ashes. Haha, I didn't expect that Zheng Yiguan was actually here and was forced to supervise the battle himself!"

Zheng Yiguan's navy was stationed in Taiping Port. In addition to the yamen runners of Changle County, the public security of Taiping Port was mainly maintained by Zheng Yiguan's navy soldiers. Now that Taiping Port is about to be lost, Zheng Yiguan will definitely be questioned. It seems that he is desperate and is fighting stubbornly!

Other pirate leaders also knew Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, after seeing Zheng Zhilong appear, they were all excited, and many people even urged their subordinates to dive ashore. Think about it, if they could catch Zheng Yiguan, how much credit would it be!

At the beginning, the officers and soldiers on the shore could resist, but more and more pirates were diving ashore. At this time, even if there were officers pressing the formation, the officers and soldiers on the shore would fight and retreat. When the burning ships on the shore were dragged away and the pirates on the shore were rushing to the shore like a tide, the officers and soldiers no longer cared about resistance, and together with the officers supervising the battle, they turned around and fled into the streets and alleys.

"Haha, big things will be decided!" Liu Xiangwen shouted in a whisper, waved his hand, "Go and get ashore!"

So his flagship, as well as other pirate leaders' flagships, also moved one after another, leaning on the shore.
