The rise of the poor

Chapter 2182 Arriving in time

As the tide receded, the Japanese pirates, led by Black Dog, retreated, and the Japanese pirates on Moon Island fought even more fiercely, killing Black Dog and his gang until they cried out in agony.

"Men, give it your all! Drive these treacherous bastards out to sea to feed the fish! They sneaked in under the guise of delivering gifts, hoping to coordinate an attack from the inside and wipe us out! Quickly drive them out to sea, close the gates, and make sure their accomplices' ships don't enter the dock, or we'll be in big trouble!"

Zhang Mazi brandished his eighteen-foot spear, fiercely attacking while shouting orders to his Japanese pirates to kill them mercilessly!

"Kill them! Kill them all!"

"These bastards actually dared to plot against Moon Island from within! We must not let them get away with this!"

"Kill them all immediately, close the dock, their ships are almost here! We must not let their ships enter the dock smoothly!"

The Japanese pirates from Tsukishima Island knew that the situation was critical and concerned their lives, so they shouted and attacked, using their numerical advantage to launch a fierce attack on the Black Dog gang, unleashing a barrage of open and covert attacks as well as musket fire.

One by one, the Japanese pirates under Black Dog's command fell, and now only thirty-odd pirates remained by his side.

Because the Tsukishima pirates kept shouting to kill Black Dog and his men, Black Dog's pirates had no way out and could only fight desperately. However, they were outnumbered, and the more battles the Tsukishima pirates challenged, the fewer they had.

The Japanese pirates, including Black Dog, were teetering on the brink of defeat, and it seemed that the Tsukishima pirates could crush them completely with just one more push.

"Boss, we can't hold on any longer."

"Why don't we jump into the sea? Maybe that will be a way out."

"My poor father and mother, your unfilial son has not visited you for five years. I regret it so much. I should have sent the money to you through someone else instead of spending it on women."

The remaining Japanese pirates under Black Dog's command were all in despair, and one by one they uttered their dying words.

The Japanese pirates, including the black dog, were now in despair.

What bad luck! They had already accomplished their mission and were just waiting for their leader to arrive so that everything would be perfect. But unexpectedly, a Japanese pirate leader from Moon Island came out to release water in the middle of the night and happened to see them tampering with things at the dock. He caught them in the act and caused their mission to fail.

I'm sorry, Chief Mao, I failed to complete the task you assigned me. You saved my life, and today I'm returning it to you.

The Japanese pirate Black Dog was prepared to die in battle at any moment, but it was a pity that he failed to complete the mission assigned by Mao Haifeng.

This will likely lead to Mao Zedong being looked down upon by the government troops again.

I'm sorry, Chief Mao.

The Japanese pirate, Black Dog, desperately brandished his katana, putting up a fierce resistance, ready to die on the spot at any moment.

"Kill them! Victory is just around the corner!"

Seeing the despair on the faces of the Japanese pirates and their black dogs, Zhang Mazi licked his lips with a bloodthirsty grin. "Great," he thought, "they're already desperate. They're like women pinned down on a bed with their pants pulled down. All I have to do is straighten up and I'm all I need to get."

Therefore, Zhang Mazi swung his eighteen-foot spear, commanding his Japanese pirates to stand up and completely eliminate the Japanese pirates, including Black Dog.

"Kill!"

The Japanese pirates from Tsukishima swarmed forward, brandishing their katana to send the bastard across from them on his final journey.

At this critical moment, suddenly the sound of wind and waves being cut and a large ship crashing into the dock was heard.

The Japanese pirates, including Black Dog, suddenly turned around and looked behind them. They saw a ship docking at the pier.

"Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

Black Dog, a Japanese pirate, became excited. A surge of power suddenly welled up within him. He swung his katana and cut down a Japanese pirate from Moon Island opposite him, shouting loudly.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!"

The twenty-odd Japanese pirates remaining under his command were also excited, and they struggled desperately as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"Damn it! It's too late! Kill them quickly, blockade the dock, and don't let them get onto the island!"

When Zhang Mazi saw a ship rushing into the dock, he knew immediately that reinforcements from the other side had arrived, and he shouted anxiously.

However, with the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the Japanese pirates, led by Black Dog, was greatly boosted. Although Zhang Mazi and his men outnumbered each other, the road was narrow, and they could not wipe out Black Dog and his men in a short time.

"Brothers, hold on, we're here!" A group of Japanese pirates surged off the ship and rushed over to support Black Dog and his men, who were desperately fighting for their lives at the dock.

Another group of Zhejiang soldiers were a step behind them, but they also disembarked and rushed forward.

This was the first time that the Zhejiang soldiers had boarded a warship and sailed at sea. Most of them were landlubbers and almost vomited bile on the ship.

They were not as accustomed to seagoing vessels as the Japanese pirates, so they were naturally a step slower to disembark. However, they had been eagerly anticipating the moment to step onto solid ground, and they followed closely behind the Japanese pirates, rushing off the ship with unsteady steps.

"Fortunately, Lord Zhu noticed something was wrong immediately and ordered us to speed up, otherwise Black Dog and the others would have been driven into the sea by the Japanese pirates from Moon Island."

On the ship, Mao Haifeng saw the fighting on the dock and couldn't help but feel relieved as he said to Zhu Ping'an beside him.

Judging from the looks of it, if they had arrived even a fraction of a second later, the Japanese pirates, including Black Dog, would have been driven into the sea by the Tsukishima pirates.

Fortunately, they arrived in time, otherwise Mao Haifeng would have been humiliated. He had guaranteed that the inside-outside cooperation would be successful, but an accident occurred on the island. If this had failed, Mao Haifeng would have been utterly disgraced.

“I have a sharper eye than most people. Besides the signal lanterns that Black Dog and his men sent out, I vaguely saw lights on the island. Given this situation, there was no other possibility than that Black Dog and his men had been exposed. Black Dog and his men were outnumbered and outmatched. Once exposed, they would definitely not be a match for the Japanese pirates of Moon Island. That’s why I suggested that we come at full speed. Fortunately, Black Dog and his men were brave and fearless, and we arrived in time.”

Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and said calmly.

The excuse that he was born with sharper eyes than the average person was just Zhu Ping'an's way of fobbing off Mao Haifeng and the others. In reality, Zhu Ping'an was on the ship silently reciting "bring glory to our ancestors" when he saw two blood-red energies twisting and fighting in the direction of Moon Island, one as thick as a tornado and the other as thin as a stick.

Without a doubt, this means the black dog has been exposed and a fight has already begun.

The Japanese pirates, including Black Dog, who had infiltrated the island beforehand, numbered only about a hundred. Once they clashed, they would certainly be no match for the Moon Island pirates. That's why Zhu Ping'an insisted that Mao Haifeng and his men head towards the Moon Island pier as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, they arrived at the last minute, and the dock was still under their control; otherwise, their efforts would have been in vain.

This trip has already alerted the enemy; the Tsukishima pirates will definitely be on guard. If we want to take down the Tsukishima pirates again in the future, we will have to pay a heavy price.

With the Japanese pirates under Mao Haifeng's command joining the battle, the Japanese pirates, led by Black Dog, immediately turned the tide and won.

They, who had been retreating steadily, suddenly took the initiative, while Zhang Mazi and his men were being killed and forced to retreat.

Especially after the Zhejiang soldiers joined the battle, their sharp firearms felled large numbers of the Yuedao Japanese pirates like wheat being harvested, and Zhang Mazi and his men retreated in a tide of defeat. (End of Chapter)
