In addition to Fuxu Town, Guangzhou’s outer ports are due to the gradual formation and opening up of the Pearl River Delta. Two outer ports, Datong Port and Pazhou Wharf, have been formed on the south bank of the Pearl River. ? Ships arriving in Guangzhou from the west and Beijiang arrive first.

This port is then accessed from Aokou and Lanhu. The latter was originally a pipa-shaped island. After it was connected to the south coast, it was called Pazhou. It is more than 30 miles southeast of Guangzhou City and is also an anchorage for sea ships coming to Guangzhou.

Ships can pass through the East and West City Hao and then enter the city from the outer harbor for shelter or trade. Water gates are set up at both Haokou to control the waterways.

"The ship in front has stopped. The gate has been closed and entry is prohibited!" Before the first ship approached the water gate, the sergeant on duty shouted loudly.

"Damn it, what are you talking about? You can't see the hanging lantern, and you can't tell who I am. Hurry up and open the gate!" The ship lowered its mast and still moved forward slowly. A man walked out of the cabin and cursed loudly.

"But Pei Baihu?" The man behind the door suddenly became much weaker after hearing this, and asked cautiously.

"Lin Ba, you can't even hear my voice? You still ask!" Pei Jing said angrily.

"Oh, I'm blind. I wonder if the master has returned from patrolling the sea. Did you notice?" Lin Ba slapped his face with his hands and said with a smile.

"We have traveled more than two hundred miles, and we haven't even seen the traitor. We don't know where he hid, and we have been eating the sea breeze for a few days in vain." Pei Jing complained.

"Yes, when Lu Shuai returned from the north, General Liang was much more careful. He heard that the rebels had re-entered the sea, and ordered all ships to be detained. Those without ship pilots were not allowed to enter the port." Lin Ba agreed.

"Stop being so nagging, hurry up and open the gate so that we can have a peaceful sleep." Pei Jing said impatiently.

"Sir, it's not that I'm unwilling, you also know that the gate is not allowed to be opened when the tide is high." Lin Ba said again in embarrassment.

"Fart, today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and it's not a big tide. Besides, it's just a rising tide. What's the matter? Don't make any noise with me here!" This gate is not only for military purposes. It also has the function of cutting off the tide.

To prevent seawater from pouring back into the city, the gate will be closed at high tide. Pei Jing obviously knows this, but he has a knife on his waist. Why is he joking with his own life?

After saying that, he was scolded again.

"Sir, this...the number of ships is wrong, isn't it? How come there are so many more!" Of course Lin Ba knew that the rank of a high-ranking official would crush people to death. Anyway, he had his own fault if anything happened. Why should he be a bad person, just about to ask someone to fire?

After entering the lock, I saw more than ten ships after the patrol, so I couldn't help but be careful.

"Damn it, why are you so meddlesome? We found these ships during our inspection. They carried personal belongings, so of course they have to be brought back to the port for questioning!" Pei Jing had previously received a promise from the prince, as long as he deceived the water switch and let the

If the fleet successfully passes the customs, it is a great achievement. I am willing to stay in the army and be promoted to the third level. If I want to go home, I will reward him with a reward of 100 taels and let him go. But if he cheats or fails, I will chop off his head first.

, and then killed him all over the house, cutting off the incense of the Pei family. Seeing that he was about to succeed, he didn't expect that he would cause trouble again, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Sir, this is against the rules. General Liang will pursue it. It doesn't look good to everyone!" After hearing this, Lin Ba moved out Liang Xiongfei's prevarication, but refused to open the gate. As a veteran, he naturally knew that the navy was not only responsible for protecting the environment.

The responsibility of reassuring the people also includes the power to detect smuggling. Framing good people as thieves is one of the tactics used by the navy. Of course, it is also very profitable to lead a ship through customs in the name of anti-smuggling. No matter what the situation is, it is natural.

If you are rich, you will get a piece of the pie no matter what.

"Okay, it's your benefit. If I make Mr. He on the back boat angry, I'm afraid General Liang won't be able to bear it. I'll turn you into a bastard!" Pei Jing understood the intention as soon as he heard it.

He replied softly but firmly, now that the Mongols are the masters and the Han soldiers are all the grandsons, it is still very effective for him to bring out the dead boss to scare people.

"Haha, sir, wait a moment, I will tell the brothers to switch on the switch!" Lin Ba said with a smile, and ordered a few sergeants to pull the winch and prepare to start the brake...

Liu Zhu, who was hiding on the warship behind the patrol, watched the gates gradually being raised and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was hiding on the stern tower, but he could see the situation outside clearly. The water gates of the Donghao River came from both sides of the bank.

Extending toward the river, they are all built with large stones, each surrounded by a city wall. Each one is more than twenty feet into the water and more than two feet high. There is a heavy gate in the middle, which can be opened and closed to allow boats to pass. Two lamps are hung on the high poles in the pass.

A large wind lantern illuminated the river clearly, and you could see that there were more than ten sergeants on duty on both sides. A strong attack would inevitably alarm the people in the city.

"Get ready separately. When the ship passes through the lock, immediately shoot the enemy soldiers on the city. Then enter the city and control all the soldiers. Don't let any one go, let alone alert the people in the harbor!" Liu Zhu turned around and ordered. There was an enemy hidden in his ship.

A group of soldiers, all selected from the navy.

"As ordered!" Everyone responded in a low voice in the darkness. The crossbowmen cocked their arrows and each chose a target. The others drew their knives in hand and prepared to join forces to attack the city.

The gate slowly rose amidst the heartbreaking creaking sound of the capstan, and the rising tide immediately poured in. The sailors immediately used long poles to adjust the direction of the ship's bow and sailed into the trench, and the front suddenly became clear, and a two-way road suddenly opened up.

A waterway of more than ten feet appeared in front of us, and countless large and small ships were moored beside the moat, with mast lights like stars falling into the sea.

"Sir, according to the rules, the boats behind you need to be inspected one by one. Let the brothers get on the boat and have a look!" As soon as the leading patrol boat passed the customs lock, Lin Ba shouted from the city again.

"Are the ships I'm escorting also going to be inspected? I think you really don't know how to die..." Pei Jing shuddered after hearing this. He knew that Lin's eight-point inspection was fake, and that he was really greedy when he saw more ships. Especially because he was afraid of himself.

They tricked him into getting less money and wanted to see what happened. But as soon as those people got on the boat, they all leaked the truth. But at this time, he could no longer regret it, so he could only shout sternly.

But before he could finish his words, Pei Jing heard "Boom boom..." The bow strings sounded continuously, and Lin Ba, who was closing the door, had an arrow in his throat. He opened his mouth wide and could no longer scream, and fell down on the wall.

The soldiers on duty also fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and died in the blink of an eye. Although these people often argued with me over the uneven distribution of the spoils, they were still brothers for many years, and seeing them die in front of me was frightening.

He collapsed on the deck.

In Pei Jing's horrified eyes, the black shadows on the ship leaped from the deck of the ship to the critical moment. He could only hear the clash of weapons and screams, but they were soon submerged in the sound of the surging waves.

.The dozens of small boats that followed had their reed mats removed, revealing strange-shaped wooden frames. The sailors paddled their oars and fished through the gates quickly, sailing along the water towards the city. A group of boats a little further away.

A large ship full of sergeants also received the signal and rushed over, scrambling to enter the customs first...

It was already past Yin time, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. A red light was raised on the mast of the ship and rushed along the south bank. Liu Zhixue nervously scanned the north bank. According to the agreement, after they sent out the signal, a pile of red lights would be raised outside the enemy camp.

The fire pointed out the target for them, but nothing was seen in the mist. The ships moored on the shore suddenly rushed in with so many ships. They curiously poked their heads and looked around, and lost the chance of a surprise attack after being dragged down.

"Pei Baihu, where are the Tatars camping?" Seeing that the other party has not sent a signal, Liu Zhixue suddenly found Pei Jing paralyzed at his feet, and suddenly remembered that this guy is a local snake, and that is a living map. He is still there to find it.

When he couldn't reach the place, he picked him up and yelled.

"Commander Liu, the Tatar military camp is in the abandoned city of Dongcheng, west of Dong'ao Pier." Pei Jing calmed down after being yelled at by Liu Zhixue, and raised his hand to point to the west.

"How far away!" Liu Zhixue looked along, and saw a blur of white in the morning light. He couldn't see clearly what it was, but it looked like the top of a felt tent commonly used by Tatars. He couldn't judge the distance at the moment.

asked again.

"We are on the south bank and they are on the north bank, about 1,500 steps away." Pei Jing looked around and said.

"Report to the capital, the target is found, it is 1,500 steps away, please mobilize the rocket ship to attack!" Liu Zhixue believed it without hesitation, turned to the bodyguard guarding beside him and said.

"Commander, I have ordered you to command the rocket ship. The timing and intensity are determined by the commander!" The guard quickly reported back.

"Signal, get close to the target!" Liu Zhixue knew that the opportunity was fleeting and he had no time to think more, so he immediately took over the command and dispatched the ship.

Pei Jing secretly complained. He had promised that he would complete the mission as long as he assisted them in defrauding the water gate. Why did he have to confront the Tatars again? He was afraid that the Tatars would rush him into the waterway before they even got ashore. Wouldn't he?

I'm going to be a ghost too! But now there are Song Army warships all around who can't get away even if they want to, so he can only resign himself to fate. He looked around and saw that his own ship was leading the way, and there were more than ten small warships lined up behind him.

It was the ships that entered the customs with him.

In panic, Pei Jing felt that the ship sailing to the middle of the river suddenly stopped, and the warship behind did not follow them, but anchored more than 200 steps away from them. This made him very puzzled.

They haven't entered the range of the crossbow yet, do they want to fight in the air? Just as he was thinking wildly, a fire suddenly flashed on a ship behind him, and a ball of fire dragged a long stick into the air.

Pei Jing's eyes followed the fire involuntarily. He saw the soaring fireball flying for a certain distance and then falling downwards. It drew a long arc in the air and fell into the Tatar military camp. Then he saw a group of fireballs.
