Pirates are actually not very courageous, especially when it comes to things like going ashore, they are more cautious.
It's just that under the current situation, no matter how cautious the pirate is, if he sees the government navy warships in Taiping Port, there are only so many of them.
Moreover, most of the only warships are small boats, and there are very few truly large warships.
Apart from this, the entire sea surface was clearly visible and there was no possibility of an ambush.
Just imagine, under this situation, if these pirates still don't let go, they might as well go home and farm.
They are really not suitable to be desperadoes at sea.
To be honest, as for those naval warships, they can be solved by swarming up.
The only thing that needs to be considered is actually those shore guns.
But they all know the shore artillery in Taiping Port, and there are only so many.
Although some people may be unlucky, but with so many people, it can't just be them.
The pirate ships swarmed up and rushed into the port.
Seeing that they were about to rush to the naval warships that were preparing to fight, the shore guns finally began to roar.
The sound of "boom, boom, boom" sounded continuously, and the iron bullets roared out, and in just the blink of an eye, they smashed through the deck of the unlucky pirate ship.
However, in this era, such a live ammunition attack will not cause the ship to disintegrate and sink immediately.
In comparison, those pirate ships that were shot accelerated their speed and rushed ashore.
Taiping Harbor was densely packed with ships, and the roar of cannons could not cover up the cries of killing.
Liu Xiang stood on the flagship and looked at so many ships in front of him swarming into the Taiping Port.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Zheng Yiguan, you should take a look today.
I will take care of your old nest."
Standing next to him was the Third Master.
When he heard what he said, an inexplicable look flashed across his face.
He didn't say anything, but just looked ahead, wanting to see where the sudden change would start.
Just as they were thinking, they suddenly saw several bow boats rushing out from the government navy and heading towards numerous pirate ships.
When Liu Xiang saw the "arson boat", he couldn't help but curled up his lips and said, "I know that Zheng Yiguan only has this ability."
Although there were his men in the pirate ship in front, he acted very indifferently.
Just those arson ships could burn several bows.
As he expected, the small boats that rushed out were actually arson boats, igniting the pirate ships they encountered with iron hooks.
The fire was so fierce that it only took a moment to burn the pirate ships.
Suddenly, the water nearby was filled with people like dumplings.
On the other side, Putmans, whose flagship would naturally not rush forward, looked at the burning Taiping Harbor from the outside and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Although he thinks that his fleet has fast ships and powerful guns, it will be a headache if he really encounters these arson ships.
Those pirate ships that were not burned avoided the burning ones and continued to rush forward.
During this process, some unlucky pirate ships were hit by several iron bullets in a row, and finally leaked too much water and slowly sank before they even docked.
What surprised Liu Xiang was that the government ships also started to catch fire, and then rushed towards the pirate ship.
"Haha, do you see it?"
Liu Xiang pointed with his finger and laughed: "Zheng Yiguan's people know that they can't save those ships.
I don't know if Zheng Yiguan is here.
I really want to see his expression at this time."
"It definitely won't be the expression you said you were thinking about," the third master thought to himself after hearing this.
Of this he was certain.
In the distance, many soldiers of Zheng Yiguan's navy fled to the shore and fled in all directions, completely without any plan.
Although the pirates are already in chaos and have no rules, they are probably avoiding the burning ships and trying to get to the shore so that they can go ashore and rob.
However, those boats that were on fire were blocked halfway into the port.
It looked like they were trying to block the pirate ships but failed.
In the end, they only blocked half of the sea.

Numerous pirate ships crowded on the other half of the sea and squeezed in.
At the government navy station, the remaining ships were finally set on fire, but there was no one on board.
Apparently they saw that there was nothing that could be done, and they just lit fires to block the pirates' time to come ashore, and the sailors also fled to the shore. .
The pirate ships that rushed ahead and entered the inner harbor were using hooks, sickles, poles, etc. to push away the burning ships.
But no matter what, after being delayed by these arson ships, the pirate ships were unable to reach the shore in time and were blocked in the inner harbor.
Of course, there were also some more impatient pirates.
Seeing the sailors on the shore who had almost disappeared, they all jumped off the ship and swam to the shore.
The sound of "boom, boom, boom" continued, which made Liu Xiang a little annoyed.
He looked at where the shore guns were and couldn't help but cursed: "Mom, don't get caught when you look back.
I'll kill you one by one."
Eight dollars” Taiping Port is already like this.
How can it be defended just by relying on those shore guns?
Finally, some swimming pirates came ashore, waving their swords and guns just to rob.
But at this time, some officers and soldiers on the shore were seen returning, thinking of intercepting the pirates who came ashore.
At a glance, you can probably tell that it is the leaders among the officers and soldiers who are holding down the formation.
After all, there were only a few pirates swimming ashore, and the officers and soldiers who formed a group killed a few of them.
The other pirates became afraid and quickly retreated to the coast.
"Hey, did you see that?"
Liu Xiang suddenly exclaimed, "Have you seen the one who supervised the battle?
I know him even if he was burned to ashes.
Haha, I didn't expect that Zheng Yiguan was here and was forced to personally supervise the battle.
For my sake” Zheng Yiguan's navy was stationed in Taiping Port, and the security of Taiping Port was mainly maintained by Zheng Yiguan's navy soldiers, in addition to the government officials in Changle County.
Now that Taiping Harbor is about to be lost, Zheng Yiguan will definitely be held accountable.
It seems that he is desperate and is fighting to the death.
Other pirate leaders also knew Zheng Zhilong.
Therefore, after seeing Zheng Zhilong appear, everyone became excited, and many even urged his men to jump ashore.
Think about it, if you can catch Zheng Yiguan, how much credit will it be?
At the beginning, the officers and soldiers on the shore could resist for a while, but more and more pirates jumped ashore.
At this time, even if there were officers to suppress the formation, the officers and soldiers on the shore were fighting and retreating.
When the burning ships on the shore were towed away, as soon as the pirate ships docked, and the pirates on them rushed to the shore like a tide, those officers and soldiers continued Regardless of resistance, they turned around and fled into the streets together with the officers supervising the battle.
"Haha, it's a big deal," Liu Xiangwen shouted, waving his hand, "Let's go ashore."
As a result, his flagship and the flagships of other pirate leaders also moved to the shore
