"1 million silver! Don't bully people too much! There are more than 20,000 pirates in the city who are good at fighting. They traverse the Mediterranean. Even if the fort is conquered by you, we will still stick to the fortress until the imperial reinforcements and the cold winter arrives. At that time, you won't even get 100,000 silver!"

Amur heard the joint fleet's conditions as if it was difficult, and the centipede-like knife marks on his face seemed to squirm.

The United Fleet is simply raising the price! It was only 100,000 taels of compensation before the war started, and it increased by 10 times after the war began!

"If you feel unacceptable, then please go back and tell your Lord Pasha to prepare for war. We will attack the fort soon and let us fight a decisive battle." Sun Xu issued an ultimatum to Amur.

Amur's pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't expect that the other party was so confident that he confessed his plan to attack the fort.

Then the next step is a competition between the firepower and the quality of soldiers on both sides.

"Our Lord Pasha will never agree to your harsh requests. All our pirates in Algiers will fight to the last one, and you will have to pay an extremely tragic price!" Amur threatened as he left.

"Please." Sun Xu asked Amur to leave openly.

Algiers were at their fingertips, and the battle had gone to such a point, and a frigate was lost. The Fourth Fleet had no intention of having a peace talk now.

Before the war, after the war, after the victory, the spoils obtained are different!

"Show them our intention to attack the turret. They will deploy more artillery and troops near the turret. At that time, our surprise attack team will launch an attack from behind..."

"Once the surprise attack team launches an attack at the agreed time, under the cover of the firepower of the main ship and shallow water gunboats, we will form an 800-person beach rushing force, and take advantage of the high tide to attack the South Fort. This time, it is a real battle against the water. Even if the tide is receding, we cannot retreat. Only by fighting hard can we survive the turret!"

The joint fleet was making the final arrangement of troops, and the beach robbery troops were each sent 200 people, forming four teams to attack the South Fort.

"They actually dared to ask us pirates for 1 million taels of silver!"

Muratpasha's face looked very ugly when he learned of the harsh demands of the Joint Fleet.

The Barbary pirates he led always threatened others and asked them to pay the ransom. When is it the turn to be threatened by others to pay the ransom?

The other pirate leaders were also dissatisfied with the proposal of the joint fleet. There were 20,000 pirates blocked in Algiers. If they were originally compensated 100,000 taels of silver, they would be about 5 taels of silver per capita. Now the compensation has been increased to 1 million taels of silver, and the per capita needs to compensate 50 taels of silver per capita!

"We will swear to resist the enemy's offensive to the death and defend our Algiers!" The pirate leaders who were frightened by the huge compensation had no intention of a peace talk. They were still lucky and might be able to delay until the Imperial Navy or the cold winter came.

About ten miles west of Algiers, you can already see the castles and houses on the Algiers Mountain from a distance from the high ground.

A surprise attack team consisting of 300 Chinese Expeditionary Forces and 500 Arab and Berber mercenaries were hiding here.

They arrived two days earlier than planned. According to the plan, they launched a surprise attack on Algiers two days later.

More than 100 camels were resting on the ground, and mercenaries were looking for water sources to replenish the empty water bags.

Marching in North Africa is a painful thing, where people trade more through the Mediterranean in important strongholds, and fewer teams of hundreds of people cross the desert and mountains from land to trade.

But the strange combination of Sun Chuanting, Prince Rupert, one-eyed pirate Yansong, and the Dutch merchant Reit, led a surprise attack team successfully from Morocco along the path opened by the ancient Arab army and merchants to the western suburbs of Algiers.

Sun Chuanting wore Arabic clothing, which was more suitable for the local climate. After calling himself an Arab general, their troops would not be attacked by villages along the way where they went, and could even receive guidance from indigenous people, so that they could arrive in Algiers two days earlier than the agreed date in the plan.

"If nothing unexpected happens, 90% of the pirates' forces and artillery have been transferred to the coastline and coastal artillery. On the city walls, the city's defense forces are small, so this is our opportunity!" Sun Chuanting gathered several important people and negotiated the battle plan to attack Algiers in two days.

"This is their Pasha's palace, located in the middle of the west, and the north is the Fortress of Pergnon left by the Spaniards. Pasha has allowed the captured European defending experts to strengthen the Fortress of Pergnon. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult to capture even with artillery. In my opinion, it will take several months to siege to capture the fortress. Our surprise attack team did not even carry a cannon in order to quickly march, and even if the fortress defenders were negligent in defense, it would be difficult to capture it. It would be better to capture Pasha's palace and occupy the west city in the first step. Maybe we can catch their Pasha and force the fortress' defenders to surrender." One-eyed pirate Yangsong excitedly told his plan on the map.

As a pirate leader who is also active in the Mediterranean, he is very familiar with the important pirate port in Algiers, because he sometimes goes here to trade slaves.

With his memory alone, he was able to draw a brief map of Algiers, especially the distribution of several important strongholds.

He was very passionate about killing Algier Pasha, appointed by the Ottoman Emperor. For him, a pirate leader, this was a legendary adventure!

"I have no objection to the plan to capture Pasha's palace, but before entering the west of the city, it may be a fierce battle." Sun Chuanting made arrangements based on the map provided by Yangsong. "When I went to investigate, I found that the city walls built by Algiers on land were not tall, mostly earthen walls, and there was a section of earthen wall we could climb over on the camel's back. At that time, two mercenaries, each of which were 100 people, and at the same time launched feint attacks in the other two directions to attract the enemy's troops and cause panic. Our main force climbed over the earthen wall and drove straight in!"

"What if we didn't catch each other's Pasha in the palace?" asked Prince Rupert.
