Chapter 898： hit again

  The port is very lively, and there are many people inside and outside.

In the past, when everyone heard the call of pirates coming, they all fled with all their might, but now, people are coming from all over the place, and some people are carrying poles, kitchen knives and other items in their hands.

The vicinity of the port was full of people, and the daring even dared to stand on the seashore and yell at the pirates at sea.

Mu Yangling squeezed in under the **** of the guards. Seeing this scene, he could not help frowning, "Why are there so many people here?"

The guard was a head taller than Mu Yangling, stood on tiptoe and said, "Don't worry, those pirates are blocked outside the port, the distance is very long, and they are out of the range of the cannons, so they won't hurt the people. The teacher probably didn't disperse them because of this."

"Guangdong people don't have enough confidence in the navy, Zhou Zhou should be trying to re-establish the prestige of the navy." Another guard guessed.

Mu Yangling didn't speak anymore, but also looked lively, and many people were discussing whether the navy would beat the pirates back to his parents' home.

However, most of the conversations will be biased towards whether the sea ban will be reopened, and some people even lowered their voices and said, "A lot of people have starved to death in Liushufang recently, if the prince reopens the sea ban, how many people can be saved? what."

"Shh, stop talking nonsense, Li Zheng said earlier that he was not allowed to discuss about Liushufang. If Fan Zhifu knew about it, Yu Zhizhou..."

"What are you afraid of, he can't protect himself now, and next year's taxes will definitely be out of his hands." Having said that, the man didn't dare to talk any more, and looked around worriedly.

Mu Yangling lowered his eyes, it seems that Yu Cheng's problem is not small, and the impact is very big, the people are afraid of him as much as tigers.

Mu Yangling saw that the pirates and sailors in the sea had not moved for a long time, and they were far away. He could neither hear what they were saying nor see what they were doing, so he asked curiously, "What are they doing?"

At this time, Pedro was also asking his adjutant Raul, "What are they doing?"

"Count, they are fighting against us?" Raul said with certainty, those people pack up and wave their weapons, aren't they fighting against them?

Pedro's face was very ugly, he put down his clairvoyance and said solemnly: "Let's go back."

"Count, aren't we saving our warriors?"

Pedro looked at the five boats that were staring at him, and said solemnly: "Do you think we can save it? Let's talk to those yellow monkeys, they can sneak into Guangzhou City and let them find out what happened in Guangzhou City. , why did the Han people suddenly get tough on us." Then he said angrily, "It must be Victor who did something, otherwise, how could the Han people change their attitude overnight. They used to see us and their legs softened, but now they dare to take a cannon. Aim at us."

Pedro is an earl proclaimed by the King of Portugal. He came to Nanyang occasionally, and from Nanyang to here. That's why he stayed here as a colonizer, and he needed to ship things back to his home country.

From the time he came here, he was invincible. This was the first time such a big failure that he lost three-fifths of his manpower at once, which was simply unbearable.

And he didn't believe that the always weak Han people had the ability to inflict heavy damage on them, so he came to investigate with the purpose of deterring and finding out the truth. Who knew that the Han Chinese navy not only dispatched five boats at once, but the shore was also full of civilians who fought against them. , which is simply not true.

He has only looted the sea merchants who came and went, not the Han people. They should be targeting those yellow monkeys.

It’s a pity that they look very different, unless they dress up as foreigners in the business, otherwise they can’t get into Guangzhou City at all.

But the foreigners in the business have a letter. They don't have it. Once they are investigated, they will be revealed. They have lost many soldiers, even his most powerful assistant, Victor, has died. He must never lose another partner, so he can only let The greedy yellow monkeys came forward.

Pedro said: "Let's go."

Raul gave the order to retreat.

As soon as their ship moved, the navy on the opposite side noticed it, and they hurried to report, "General, they have withdrawn!"

Zhou Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many shells do we have left?"

"Three were seized, and two were not returned."

Zhou Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "Bring them all up and get the archers ready. We will follow them quietly in a while, and give them a few shots when we go further."

The    soldier was stunned, "General, will you provoke them again?"

"What are you afraid of, since they have withdrawn, it means that they are afraid in their hearts, and they can't let go of their hands and feet when they are afraid," Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Now the people say that our sailors are cowards, and the backbone is straight only when the prince is here. Now, brothers, are our spines really crooked?"

As soon as Zhou Zhou said these words, the soldiers straightened their backs and shouted firmly, "No!"

"Then let's let the people of Guangzhou City see it!"

Although Zhou Zhou's qualifications are shallow, he has fought several naval battles with General Wang Can. Soon the four ships formed a team and slowly kept up with the two ships of the pirates, while the Zhou family's ship was floating on the sea alone. , because there were no guns on board, the ship could not keep up.

The people on the shore saw that the boat was getting farther away, and they wanted to go back in disappointment. Who knew that a sudden loud noise startled everyone. When they looked back, they saw that the sea was fighting, and they suddenly cried out excitedly.

Mu Yangling also narrowed his eyes and smiled at the guard: "This Zhou Zhou will seize the opportunity."

The guard said worriedly: "Niangniang, will the sailor be okay?"

"The pirates retreated first, which means that they were afraid, so they would lose first. As long as Zhou Zhou stirs up the morale of the soldiers, they will not lose. Sometimes fighting is just a breath of air.

Zhou Zhou took the initiative to attack the pirates for the first time in his life, and wanted to show off in front of Qi Haoran. Naturally, he went all out, and the soldiers of the navy were also fighting with a breath.

The soldiers of the navy were all recruited on the spot. Who didn't have relatives and friends who died at the hands of pirates, who didn't move inland because of pirates and ran out of food?

As long as you think of this, anger burns in everyone's chest. After the cannon comes the trebuchet, throwing rocks at the opposite side with almost all their strength.

Pedro shouted angrily, but the distance was very far, not within the firing range of the musket, and he wanted to launch a boat to fight back, but he was afraid of their cannons.

Although they also had cannons on their ships, there were not many cannonballs.

Because he was not sure of their strength, Pedro could only order, "Quick retreat, quick!"

Zhou Zhou chased them for a distance, watched them walk away, waved the boats to stop, and said, "Don't chase after the poor thieves, let's go back."
