It was a good time to kill and plunder. In the evening, it was still breezy, but in the middle of the night, the weather suddenly changed. The wind was very strong, and the whistling sound was very loud. It was easy to wake up people who did not sleep well.
However, the pirates on Black Dog Island had always slept well. They did not think that there was anything wrong with going out to rob. Without psychological pressure, they naturally slept better. They did not have insomnia problems. Even Black Dog and other high-ranking officials were sleeping soundly.
Strong Tiger and the dozens of people he brought were still making the final preparations. They had to take control of the wharf, Black Dog, and other high-ranking officials before the main forces of the Tang dynasty arrived. In this way, when the Tang dynasty's troops entered the island, they could quickly take control of the situation and prevent large-scale casualties on both sides. They could peacefully solve the problem of the pirates on Black Dog Island.
"It's almost time. The main forces of the soldiers should have arrived near Black Dog Island. Let's move quickly!"
Strong Tiger looked at an Tang dynasty officer and said.
The Tang dynasty officer nodded and said, "Let's split into two groups. Ten people in each group will go to the wharf and take control of it immediately. The rest will control Black Dog and the others. We must take control of the wharf and Black Dog as soon as possible."
"Yes, we understand."
Everyone said in unison.
At this time, there were pirates under Black Dog's command patrolling the island. However, there were not many of them. There were only a few people at the wharf. The patrolling pirates were mainly wandering around the residential area. The few people at the wharf were responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the lighthouse and preventing the flames from going out. Even if the ships of Black Dog Island were at the wharf, they still had to consider the fishermen who might pass by. Only when the lighthouse on Black Dog Island was lit up could the fishermen who came home late. This was very important and could not be spared.
Strong Tiger and the others quickly took action. They immediately split into two groups and headed toward Black Dog's residential area and the wharf. In order not to be discovered by the patrolling pirates, they did not move in a swarm. Instead, they set off separately and sent a few people to deal with the patrolling pirates first. Only then could they walk freely on the island.
"Why aren't you guys resting?"
The two patrolling pirates asked when they saw the three of them walking over.
"The wind is too strong. I can't sleep."
As the three of them spoke, they approached the two pirates.
"Isn't it just the wind? Can't you sleep?"
The two patrolling pirates said in surprise.
The three of them smiled and glanced at each other before taking control of the two patrolling pirates. Their mission was to take control of the two patrolling pirates. They didn't need to do anything else.
Strong Tiger led nearly 20 pirates and Tang dynasty soldiers to the Black Dog's residence. This was the core of Black Dog Island. There were two guards on night duty at the entrance. The Black Dog and his brothers lived here. There were more than a dozen of them. If they wanted to control the Black Dog, they first needed to control the two pirates on night duty at the entrance.
"There are only two people at the door. Let's just charge in."
Strong Tiger asked.
The captain of the Tang dynasty said, "It's best to finish the task quietly. It's best if we don't alarm anyone. If we do, it won't be too late to force our way in."
After that, he looked at the two soldiers behind him and said, "You two go and take control of the two guys guarding the door. Do it neatly."
The two soldiers immediately approached the two pirates quietly.
"What are you doing?"
The two pirates were shocked, but before they could react, they were knocked unconscious.
The soldiers waved their hands. Strong Tiger and the others behind them immediately rushed into the yard.
"Split up and take control of everyone. Guard this yard."
The captain of the Tang dynasty ordered.
Strong Tiger went to the Black Dog's room in person. He wanted to take the biggest credit for capturing the Black Dog. The captain of the Tang dynasty would not compete with him. He gladly accepted Strong Tiger's request. After all, Ang Lee also had the same idea.
More than ten people moved together. They immediately rushed into many rooms and captured all the sleeping pirates.
"Brother Zhuang Hu, what are you doing? Could it be that I've done something wrong?"
Black Hound was startled awake from his sleep. He was shocked to see Zhuang Hu and his men rushing into his room and subduing him. He was very surprised, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes.
Strong Tiger did not answer. He did not know how to answer. Being captured was not something honorable. He was even more dishonorable when he helped the soldiers deal with his former colleagues. At least, in the eyes of the pirates, his behavior was shameful. He was the soldier's lackey.
Black Dog obviously did not think of this. He thought that he had rejected Strong Tiger's request and did not satisfy Strong Tiger. That was why he was caught.
"Brother Strong Tiger, if Big Brother Black Tiger doesn't like the Black Dragon, I'm willing to help. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to do this! We're all brothers. What can't we discuss? "
Black Dog said.
Zhuang Hu snorted coldly, but didn't reply.
Black Dog was shocked. "Brother Strong Tiger, you're not going to kill me and forcefully annex my brothers, are you? How can you do this? You can't do this to me. We're brothers. "
Black Dog obviously thought of another possibility. If Black Tiger wanted to resist the Black Dragon, he would need to increase his own strength. But how? One was to cooperate with a few small forces and form an alliance against the Black Dragon. Another was to annex a few small forces and strengthen his own strength before challenging the Black Dragon. The first method was to form an alliance. The second method was to annex. Each had its own advantages. Black Dog suddenly felt that his previous guess of the first method might be wrong. Black Tiger would very likely use the second method. He would annex a few small pirates around him to strengthen his own strength before challenging the Black Dragon.
The process of annexation would inevitably be accompanied by blood. The other small pirates might be annexed, but the leader would most likely be killed. This way, there would be no mistakes.
"Brother Strong Tiger, don't worry. I'm willing to follow you wholeheartedly. I can persuade my brothers to follow you forever and never betray you. All the brothers and treasures on Black Dog Island are yours."
In the face of death, Black Dog was afraid. He opened his mouth and begged for mercy.
Strong Tiger just quietly watched his performance. He didn't say anything. Even his expression didn't change. No one knew what he was thinking. The more Strong Tiger acted like this, the more frightened Black Dog was. He was worried that Strong Tiger had the intention to kill him. Being expressionless meant that he was unmoved and had to be ruthless.
"Brother Strong Tiger, please spare my life!"
Black Dog was about to collapse. Strong Tiger remained unmoved and expressionless. It wasn't until the captain of the Tang dynasty entered the room that Strong Tiger respectfully saluted to the captain of the Tang dynasty. This scene frightened Black Dog. Strong Tiger actually saluted to the small pirates under his command, appearing especially humble.
"Beg him instead of me. He's also a sinner. He can't help you much. Hahaha!"
The captain of the Tang dynasty said with a smile.
"Brother, where are you from? I'm willing to surrender. I'm willing to give up everything I have."
Black Dog looked at the captain of the Tang dynasty and said humbly.
The captain of the Tang dynasty smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry. Our main force will arrive soon. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Hehe."
At this time, all they needed to do was to control the leader of Black Dog Island. Other things could be dealt with more calmly when the main force of the Tang Dynasty army arrived. After all, they had too few men under their command. It seemed a little difficult to control several times their own men. Once there was a rebellion, it would be very troublesome.
At this time, a team of 300 people had approached Black Dog Island. Chen Long personally led the team and was ready to take down Black Dog Island.
"General, the port of Black Dog Island has sent a signal. The port is under control. We can approach it now."
A soldier said.
Chen Long nodded and said, "Good, very good. Immediately approach the port and get ready to take down Black Dog Island."
Three ships quickly approached the port of Black Dog Island. With the help of several soldiers who had arrived there earlier, the ships quickly anchored.
Under the command of Chen Long, 300 soldiers quickly disembarked from the ships and entered Black Dog Island. More than 10 people were left to guard the ships and the port. The rest of the soldiers immediately split up and went to various parts of the island. They were ready to take control of all areas of the island and not let any pirate escape to prevent the news here from leaking out.
Chen Long personally led the main force of more than 100 people to go straight to the pirate's residential area, which was the core area of the pirates. Most of the pirates lived in the residential area. Taking control of the residential area meant taking control of more than half of Black Dog Island. This operation would be more than half successful.
After Strong Tiger and the rest took control of Black Dog and the other core members, they did not take any action. They only firmly controlled the pirate leader and the Black Dog's residence. As for other things, they did not have the ability to do anything else.
When Chen Long and a large number of his subordinates entered Black Dog Island, they did not have to continue being cautious. This naturally caused a huge commotion. Many pirates were awakened from their sleep. Some pirates were captured before they could even put on their clothes. Some tried to resist and were killed. Some temporarily escaped, but they definitely could not escape the island. In addition, some escaped to the Black Dog's residence but found that the door was sealed. It was obvious that something had happened inside.
"What's going on? Why is the King's residence locked? There must be something going on inside."
"The King might be under control. What should we do?"
"Climb in and take a look."
"Is the King inside? Someone is attacking Black Dog Island. "
The pirates outside shouted loudly.
There was no response from inside, so the pirates were forced to choose another direction to escape. However, there were no ships around the island other than the harbor. If they were to swim to escape, it was very likely that they would be eaten by the big fish in the sea. There was no guarantee of safety at all.
Just when these pirates did not know where to escape to, a large number of Tang dynasty soldiers came and surrounded them.
"Gather all the captured pirates and count them. See how many are missing."
Chen Long ordered loudly.
A group of people immediately began to check the pirates. The captured pirates were divided into groups of ten and controlled. Each group was separated by more than ten steps. This way, they could clearly see how many pirates were captured at a glance.
"General, there are a total of 89 people including everyone. I've asked. There are still five missing."
A soldier reported.
Chen Long nodded and said, "Send half of the soldiers to search around the island. Be sure to find everyone. Don't let anyone go."
After saying that, he walked towards Black Hound's room and saw Black Hound with a face full of despair. Until now, Black Hound still didn't know who had taken over his territory, and he didn't even know whether he was going to live or die.
"Strong Tiger, is this the Black Dog of Black Dog Island?"
Chen Long looked at Strong Tiger and asked.
Strong Tiger nodded and said, "Yes, he is the Black Dog."
Black Dog quickly begged for mercy and asked Chen Long to let him go.
"Do you know who we are?"
Chen Long asked.
Black Dog was scared witless and said, "I don't know, where are you from?"
Chen Long grinned and said, "I'll tell you! I'm a general of the Tang dynasty. We're soldiers. You've all been captured. Haha! "
"Soldiers? Soldiers? Then Big Brother Strong Tiger is also a soldier?"
Black Dog was shocked and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Surprisingly, Zhuang Hu opened his mouth and said softly, "Just like you, he is a sinner."
Chen Long looked at Strong Tiger with satisfaction, then looked at Black Dog and said, "You've seen it too. Although Strong Tiger has been captured, he's willing to help us. He can still be treated well and can perform meritorious deeds. He doesn't need to be chained up and locked up in prison."
Black Dog reacted quickly and said, "Sir, Black Dog is also willing to redeem himself by performing meritorious deeds. I'm willing to work for the imperial court. I'll never be a thief again."
Black Dog had no other choice at this time to save his life. He could only follow the orders of the imperial court and help them. Only then could he save his life. If he went against the imperial court, he would die. He didn't want to die in vain. He wouldn't do anything stupid when he couldn't fight back.
Chen Long was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Good, very good. Now, Black Wolf, Black Tiger, and you, Black Dog, have all been taken care of. Only the Black Dragon and Black Panther are left. You still have a chance to perform meritorious deeds."
"Of course, I'm willing to perform meritorious deeds. I'm willing to perform meritorious deeds with Big Brother Strong Tiger. First, we'll deal with the Black Panther. Then, we'll destroy the Black Dragon and work for the imperial court."
Black Dog said loudly.
"One look and I can tell that you're a fence-sitter. However, I like it. As long as you can complete the mission and help us complete the plan to eliminate all the pirates, it's fine. There's no need to be too anxious about this. Let's deal with the matter at hand first! Black Dog, it's up to you now. Make your men listen to me. Also, there are five missing people on the island. Where are they hiding? Can you find them? "
Black Dog quickly said, "Sir, don't worry. I know where they can hide on the island. They won't be able to leave the island. I'll call them all out. Does that count as meritorious deeds?"
"Brat, you're really cunning. Count it."
Chen Long said with a smile.
