It was very late at night, and dark clouds covered the bright moon, making it look a little dark.

The water dragon led 200 soldiers to quietly touch the pirates from the west on a small boat. He was originally a pirate and knew very well about the pirates' mode of conduct. He knew the strength of each hull, how many people could be carried on each ship, and where to hide the patrol.

When the fleet arrived about two miles away from the Pirates fleet, the water dragon waved his hand, and the thirty strong sailors were wearing only one shorts, with a short knife around their waists, jumped into the water. The hands and feet slid, and quietly moved to the Pirates fleet. Some waves were stirred up in the sea water, just like sea fish flipping.

Chushuijiao stood at the bow of the boat and watched the sailors climbing onto the boat like geckos through the moonlight. After a long time, a bright whistle sounded from afar. Chushuijiao looked excited and whispered to both sides: "The stakes have been cleared, let the brothers start to move and slowly move to the other side. Whoever makes a noise for me will directly kill him."

Yangma Island is quite large, and it is the two major islands west of Dengzhou with the opposite Zhiluo Island. There were dozens of fishermen on it before, but after these pirates arrived, except for a small number of escapes in time, most of the other fishermen were killed by them. Most of the pirates were transferred to attack Ninghai City. The pirates they left behind on Yangma Island had nothing to do, except for eating and drinking. Apart from the dozens of patrols on the boat, there was no arrangement for basically guards.

The two pirates were drunk and supported each other and walked towards the edge. They unbuttoned their belts and began to open the gates and release water. One of them opened his hazy eyes and looked at the distance in confusion, saying, "Ding Ding... Ding Lao San, have those boats moved?"

"Move...what to move, I think you guys are drinking too much!"

"No, I'm really moving... If you don't believe it, look."

Ding Laosan was slightly drunk. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by his companion. The ships on the west side were moving away from the group of ships one after another. Although the speed was very slow, they were indeed moving. He woke up most of the time and stumbled backwards, shouting loudly while running: "Come, come, come! Someone is stealing the boat."

His companion opened his eyes in a daze and muttered, "Stealing a boat, what boat to steal?" After saying this, he fell straight and fell into the urine pit just now, and was dizzy.

The water dragon heard the shouts from afar and the pirates coming from afar, shouting loudly: "Brothers, quickly remove the ships that have been dismantled, and the rest begin to set fire." After the order, he suddenly took down the bow and arrow from behind and led the bow to the sky.

The arrow made a shrill sound, shooting from bottom to top into the sky.

Han Kuo stood at the bow of the ship and shouted loudly: "Shot the arrow and let Gao Yi start to act. The ships on our side also drove the maximum speed and advanced towards Yangma Island."

Most of the ships were covered with tinea oil, and they were burning one after another. It was like a huge spring pool full of flames, and the fire tongues sprayed out were three feet high, so hot that it was impossible to get close. The pirates shouted and seized the ships that had not yet been burned and rushed out. But they did not escape far, and they were surprised to find that countless official and military ships were shouting and killing from a distance, forming an encirclement for them.

The volley of bows and arrows, and the bird guns roared. The pirate ships that escaped the fire group were surrounded in the middle, and were banned from attacking one after another. Generally speaking, several official ships often besiege a pirate ship at the same time. Although the pirates are good at water fighting, this mode has no backhand power at all. As the water soldiers climbed along the rope to the opposite ship, there was no suspense in the victory or defeat.

Meng Xiongchen looked at the huge flames rising in the distance, his face as if dead. Mo Hezi hurried from a distance and asked loudly: "What's going on?"

Meng Xiongchen laughed smirked, "Don't head of the family, I'm afraid the Ming army sneaked into our ships from the sea. Now, we can't go back. At the Tingkou, the government army has already broken through there. Our only hope now is to capture Ninghai City in front of us and then hold on to the city. I sent someone to Liaodong to inform my father and commander and ask him to send a fleet to rescue us. Only in this way can we have a glimmer of life. Otherwise, once the reinforcements of the government arrived, there was only a dead end to us."

Mo Hezi's face suddenly changed, his face was bleak, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, I listen to Major General Meng. I understand that the Ming army on the West Mountain has not come down. I think they are likely to be trying to restrain our siege. Now I will allocate a thousand brothers to you and then attack the city with all their strength. Please send people to sea as soon as possible and let General Meng send ships as soon as possible."

Meng Xiongchen nodded and whispered to the soldiers behind him: "Get everyone together and continue to attack the city."

After the ship was destroyed, these scattered and undisciplined pirates united and launched a fierce attack on Ninghai City as if they were desperate. Countless pirates shouted loudly from each other's head, and they had red eyes and climbed on the city walls over and over again. Although their efficiency was far less than that of regular soldiers, their unrestrained style of being fearless was better than that of the official army.

Under the city of Ninghai, corpses were everywhere. Under the command of Zhao Xusheng and Li Xiong, the official army relied on the strong city walls and their own tenacious resistance to repel the crazy attacks of the pirates over and over again. Although Ninghai City was broken, it was like a pine tree in Cangshan and always stood firm.

Li Xiong looked at the pirates who retreated to the back again and spat: "The experience of siege in this group of pirates is not as good as ours in the past. If they could capture Ninghai City by relying on them, I, Li Xiong, changed my surname from now on."

A total of more than 800 reinforcements came from Yashan. That night, Jimu sent more than 600 people into the city, leaving only 200 people outside. It was the main force of these more than 600 people, but they took turns to withstand the dozens of fierce attacks of nearly 10,000 pirates. Although this was related to the lack of experience and siege equipment of the pirates, the excellent combat power of the more than 600 people surprised Zhao Xusheng. He listened to Li Xiong's joke and chuckled, and said, "The reason why we were able to withstand the pirates' repeated attacks before was mainly because you brought more than 10,000 feather arrows. Now it has been consumed, so it will be even more difficult to defend the city next time. Mr. Li, do you think that Master Zhou and General Huang can arrive in time?"

Li Xiong waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry Zhao Shoubei. Since Magistrate Zhou said that he could already arrive, he would definitely arrive. It was either today or tomorrow, I believe he would definitely arrive."
