(Solemnly say: This book on the PC side is blocked, please use Qidian APP to read the genuine version! The APP is updated normally, there is no way to crack down on it!)

Jack's instigating power was really unleashed. On the third day after Wang Xuan returned to Nazuo, he had already fooled the three major pirates and seven or eight smaller pirate groups.

These people, the small ones have three or five boats, like the three big pirates, each of them has more than 20 boats and more than 2000 pirates.

All the forces assembled have a total of more than 8000 pirates. Of course, this time they will not be sent out all at once!
The three major pirates still had to leave some people to guard the lair, but in the end, there were no fewer than 6000 pirates in total.

When the swearing-in meeting was held on the island, Jack was a little confused when he saw the noisy crowd of more than 6000 people. There were too many people. He never thought that his appeal would be so great!
Just like Shen Gongbao didn't think about it, fellow Taoists, please stay behind, it's like cheating so many Jiejiao disciples!
Could it be that the game was too big, and in the end Wang Xuan played with fire and set himself on fire, and Na Zuo was really taken down by these pirates, right?
But...it seems to be nothing, right?

At that time, I will do the fake show for real, and there is nothing wrong with setting up a port for fun, so happy!
Let's talk about the situation!

The pirates didn't do any reconnaissance in front of the enemy, nor did they make any plans. In their words, I don't even know my plan, so let's see what the enemy guesses!
The only plan is to rush in in a swarm in the evening, and burn, kill and loot it all.

On the other side, Wang Xuan was also taking various precautions. Not only did he dismantle a large number of cannons to defend against the opponent's surprise attack on the land, he also specially selected five dilapidated ships and parked them sideways in front of the port.

Fortunately, this plan itself was created by Wang Xuan himself. He arranged for Arthur to send a ship back in advance to inform the pirates before they set off. It is to know the approximate attack time of the enemy.

Another three days later, Wang Xuan received the report ship sent by Arthur. It is estimated that at the speed of the pirates, they will reach the vicinity of Nachu in about one day. That is to say, the attack time will be tomorrow evening or the day after tomorrow.

Such a war is about to break out.

The pirate side has an obvious advantage, with 6000 troops and more than 40 warships, while Wang Xuan's side has about 1500 troops, plus the guards at Nazuo Port, the number of troops can't exceed 2000. Fortunately, the defensive side is well prepared!

Early the next morning.

Wang Xuan called a few trained captains, "The Intrepid and the Great White Shark 1-4 are all going out, wait at the place we arranged in advance, and return immediately after seeing thick smoke rising from Nazuo, die dead Block the entrance to the port, and resolutely prevent the pirates from escaping!"

"Yes!" The five stood up and saluted together, and finally stepped out in a hurry.

On the other side, the port.

"Hurry up, get the spare shells ready, put them in a place within easy reach, and hit them hard when the pirates come!"

A group of 'sailors' wearing British navy uniforms were busy preparing for the night's battle under command.

There are a total of nearly [-] large and small artillery pieces concentrated here in the port, all of which were dismantled from more than a dozen broken pirate ships. The [-] 'Royal British Sailors' and the [-] guards in the port have already begun to recharge their batteries.

Wang Xuan patrolled around and called for someone to come over again, "Send someone with an alarm bell to the highest reef outside the port, and immediately ring the bell when they find pirates coming, and leave a boat below to prepare the alarm bell, one by one. The training should be passed on, and beacon fires should not be used to prevent pirates from discovering in advance.”

At dusk the next day, on a reef outside the port, a sentinel rang the alarm bell violently, and then, the bells were passed down one after another, all the way to the inside of the port.

Immediately, all the sailors began to stuff gunpowder and shells into the barrels. The shooting range was adjusted early on. Which angles can hit that point has been strictly calculated. This is also the basis for the accurate firepower of the coastal defense artillery.

In less than half an hour, you could see the masts getting larger in the distance at the port. Slowly, a large group of warships began to approach the port. More than 40 warships could almost fill most of the port!

Seeing the flying skeleton flag, the uninformed people in the port suddenly became confused. Wang Xuan specially arranged not to inform them, so that the pirates could see the chaos in the port. These pirate leaders are suspicious guys. , in case he ran away at the last minute, it would be almost impossible to find such a good opportunity in the future!
The chaos of the crowd on the port was clearly seen by the lookout on the pirate ship. The 6000 people on the pirate ship started to shout together. They were neither neat nor unified, but this chaotic roar revealed that All are the desire to rob and the anticipation to kill.

The more this kind of chaos, the more people can understand that these are heinous pirates, and their arrival will definitely bring bloody storms and disasters.

With the influx of a large number of pirate ships, the people on the port have fled, and all the sailors and guards are waiting for the signal to start the attack.

Wang Xuan stood on the lighthouse and wiped the sweat from his hands. He was calculating the distance to the pirates. He had to wait a little longer until all the pirate ships were within range, allowing enough time for the Intrepid to return.

This is also the first time he has experienced such a large-scale war!

It's understandable to be nervous!
In this battle, he gambled almost everything he had obtained in the Caribbean. If he won, he would rule the Caribbean. If he lost, half a year of hard work would go to waste!

At 500 meters, Wang Xuan first ordered the beacon to be lit. Now that the beacon is lit at this distance, the pirates will no longer be alerted. It is time to send a message to the battleships such as the Intrepid who are ambushing outside!
300 meters, 200 meters... The pirate ship is approaching the port a little bit. The front end is less than 500 meters away, and the last one is also close to [-] meters.

Picking up the short-fire blunderbuss in his hand, Wang Xuan took a deep breath, and slammed the trigger towards the sky!
'Bang' A red flare shot straight into the sky at a height of 30 meters... Yes, it's a bit short, but it's only within this range.

However, this is enough, and with the height of the lookout lighthouse itself, it is enough for everyone in the entire port to see clearly!

The signal flare rose high, and in just a moment, the entire port came alive, and the sound of "fire" and "fire" resounded throughout the port.

Then, "Boom, boom, boom..." A series of non-stop roars exploded throughout Nazuo. Perhaps, this was the most simultaneous firing of cannons in the history of the Caribbean Sea.

In addition to the 6-pounder and 3-pounder guns responsible for coastal defense close combat, more than 200 guns above 12-pound were fired at the same time, and the accuracy was frighteningly high when the firing range had been determined long ago.

The dense shells streaked across the sky like a meteor shower. In Wang Xuan's view, this was the most beautiful picture.
