Because his doghouse had been occupied by Xue Zhidie, Zhang Zhun has been sleeping in the military camp since then. The escort training was very strict. He buried it all the way and was exhausted every day. Instead, the desires of men and women gradually faded away. To be honest, now is not the time to indulge, and he is still very self-controlled.

The Hongshitan Military Camp was very quiet late at night. All you could hear was the sound of waves constantly slapping on the beach. There were also the sound of frogs coming from the rice fields in the distance. Summer was coming, and the sound of frogs began to become active. Unfortunately, these rice fields did not belong to anyone in Yangjiatun.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside.

Zhang Zhun immediately sat up alertly.

"Captain, a strange ship came from the sea!"

Zou Mingjia's voice came from outside, and he was the one who brought the whistle tonight.

Since Zhang Zhun ordered to add swimming posts to the beach that night, there was one more post in the guard team, and the movements on the sea surface could be observed at any time. However, no abnormal situation has been found in the seaside posts in the past few days. Today is the first time that the posts at the beach have reported the situation.

The guard team was just established and had never encountered many things. Zhang Zhun therefore specifically stipulated that if he found something strange or something he could not handle, he could report it to him anytime and anywhere, even if he was asleep. Therefore, Zou Mingjia would arrive in a hurry in the middle of the night.

Zhang Zhun turned over and got up, followed Zou Mingjia to the shore.

Sure enough, in the faint light, you can see a ship mooring on the sea three or four kilometers. Because the light is very poor and the visibility is very low, it is impossible to accurately judge what kind of ship it is.

There were lights on the ship, and it did not hide its existence. Judging from the lights, the ship had been docking there and had no movement. It was not that it did not want to dock, but that it could not dock because there was no pier nearby. Moreover, there were many reefs in the sea. If you navigate in the middle of the night and hit the reef all at once, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This also shows that this ship should not be a local ship, and he doesn't know the two natural ports of Heilong Bay and Queqiao Bay. In fact, as long as they move to the west and come in from the entrance of Mawan, there are many natural ports in Mawan, which can be parked and docked.

An alien ship was moored outside the Red Stone in the middle of the night, and I don’t know what purpose it is? No matter how you look at it, it seems to have a bit of a weird smell. No wonder Zou Mingjia wants to report to Zhang Zhun. If it is a legendary pirate ship, it is very likely to trigger a battle.

"Captain, is it a pirate?" Zou Mingjia asked in a low voice.

"I can't be sure." Zhang Zhun said slowly.

Since Xue Zhidie and Xue Ningying were rescued that day, the soldiers of the guard team believed that there might be pirates appearing on the sea near Fushan Station. Otherwise, Zhang Zhun would not have set up posts on the beach. However, no one has seen a real pirate and he doesn't know what pirates look like.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of water coming.

Zhang Zhun listened carefully, and there was a sound of someone rowing a sampan. It seemed that someone was preparing to row ashore. This scene reminded Zhang Zhun of the scene where the Marine Corps quietly landed in the middle of the night. Could it be that there were really pirates trying to land in the middle of the night to rob?

It's really a hell. What's the purpose of the pirates choosing to log in at this time? Could it be for the salt of Yangjiatun? When Zhang Zhun thought of the salt of Yangjiatun, he was immediately shocked. Wang Shixin's methods wouldn't be so powerful, right? Even the pirates encouraged them to go out?

"Wake up everyone quietly!"

"Prepare for the fight!"

Zhang Zhun had no time to think about it and immediately ordered it.

Zou Mingjia turned around and went.

Soon, the sleeping guard soldiers were woken up one by one.

The soldiers got up immediately, put on clothes, and prepared weapons. Because Zhang Zhun had already conducted several emergency gatherings in the middle of the night before, the soldiers' reaction was still very fast. Soon, the guards were all in place except for the necessary alert personnel.

Officers such as Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong and others quickly came to Zhang Zhun and waited for arrangements. They also thought that pirates had landed. If they were normal people, why didn't they choose to land in the daytime, but climb up sneakily at night? As for the purpose of pirates' landing, it must be for Yangjiatun's private salt.

Yang Zixuan whispered: "Captain, could it be a Japanese pirate?"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and refused to comment.

Because the light was too weak, they couldn't see clearly who was trying to climb up. However, one thing was certain, that was, the other party's purpose was impure. The possibility of Japanese pirates was not very high. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Japan entered the Tokugawa Shogunate era. The political situation was relatively stable, and few Japanese ronin ran around. The active pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty were actually their own people.

"No matter whether it is a Japanese pirate or not, they will fight to the death if they receive the order to take action."

Zhang Zhun ordered all the soldiers to hide behind the rocks and wait for his attack order. No matter who was preparing to go ashore, if they found something wrong, they would be wiped out on the spot. However, before issuing the combat order, no one is allowed to be exposed. He wanted to give the other party a big surprise. So, the soldiers of the guards held their weapons tightly and quietly waited for unknown people to dock.

As the sound of water gets closer, the sampans gradually appears. There are three sampans in total, and there should be about ten people on each sampan, and a total of thirty people. The weather is now April and early summer, and the temperature is still very suitable. The people on the sampans are basically wearing water and have no other costumes.

The so-called water-repellent is actually a waterproof short jacket made of linen. It is very cool and can be dried quickly after soaking. People who often move on the water like to wear such water-repellent. Many southerners even regard it as daily outfits.

The distance is closer, and the people on the sampan can almost see clearly. Yes, these people are indeed pirates, most of them are skinheads, with various tattoos on their exposed arms. The bronze skin is the biggest feature of sailors. Some pirate skins are even darker as if they were from Africa. Water droplets cannot stay on such skins, and they fall off as if they are dripping.

At the same time, the weapons in these people are mostly javelins, and there are various axes. The thick cables and other riggings on the warships are not cut off at all, and only heavy and sharp axes can be used. Therefore, warships are generally equipped with a large number of axes. Axes are both essential tools for navigation and commonly used weapons.

Zhang Zhun didn't understand the sound of their speech very well. It was speculated that it was the accent of southerners, which was a bit like the Minnan language of later generations. Of course, Zhang Zhun was not a language expert and could not accurately judge where these people came from. But one thing is certain, these people are definitely not locals.

"Mulcan."

"The pirates have muskets."

"Note that the pirates carry muskets."

When the pirate's sampan was getting closer and closer to the shore, Zhang Zhun suddenly discovered that these pirates actually carried muskets, and there were quite a few, at least ten. Muskets were new to the guards, and they had to be careful of them.

"Tell the warriors that muskets are nothing great. They are not as useful as our triangular spikes during melee. The key to dealing with muskets is to be close to each other and close to each other. When launching an attack, don't distance yourself from the pirates. As long as we fight tightly with the pirates, the pirate's muskets cannot fully exert their power."

"If you find that the musket is directed towards you, you either lie down immediately or use a pirate to block it in front of you. Never rush towards the musket. Such an action is not bravery, but recklessness, or suicide. The musket is loading slowly. After firing, it is his fatality. You must launch an attack in a timely and decisive manner."

Zhang Zhun temporarily explained some skills to deal with muskets, allowing Yang Zhiyuan and Hao Linyong to spread it to each soldier and alleviate the psychological pressure of the soldiers. However, Zhang Zhun also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the escort team to not be nervous when facing muskets for the first time. Wang Shixin's servants were equipped with muskets, which brought a lot of psychological pressure to the escort team.

The pirates landed with muskets, which just gave the escort a chance to exercise. If the escort wins this battle and defeats the pirates equipped with muskets, the psychological pressure will not be that great when the escort faces the muskets next time. Wang Shixin's servants will no longer have the equipment advantage to block the escorts.

"bring it on!"

Zhang Zhun quietly encouraged himself in his heart.

The pirates on the sampan obviously did not expect that someone had already ambushed on the beach and waited for them to drill their pockets. Therefore, they did not seem nervous on the sampan, as if they were just coming up for a trip. However, Zhang Zhun still felt the stubbornness and cold blood that were unique to the pirates. If these people were fully prepared, the battle would definitely be very difficult.

The three sampans landed one after another, and the pirates went ashore one after another. It seemed that they were indeed not very prepared. After they got ashore, they did not check the surrounding environment. A group of people just stood on the beach, looking around, as if they were identifying their location. However, in the middle of the night, they should not be able to accurately judge the location. The leading pirates didn't know what they said to each other, waved their hands and led the other pirates to move forward.

Zhang Zhun suddenly came out from behind the rock and stood in front of the pirates.
