After all this trouble, the atmosphere was just adjusted and destroyed. The fractured female soldier was helped to find someone to treat Bartolo, and the jade accosted the waiter to send food and wine again. He persuaded the glass after glass of jade, and his face seemed to get redder and redder. But Bartolo’s head was a little dizzy, but he saw that the jade lady’s face was still so red, but there was no sign of drunkenness.
When the conversation atmosphere between the two people gradually fell into subtlety, the door was pushed by people from the outside, and the music came to an abrupt end. Look at the door, Li Guangtou, the head of the door, and there was a young man who was mixed with water, Bartolo, who pulled out his sword in his waist. "I remember that you were declared unwelcome. Do guests know how we deal with evil guests? I want crows to eat your rotting corpse, you … "
But before his words were finished, Qiu Sanhu’s voice rang. "This is a letter from Guangzhou, which made the loyalist fleet arrive immediately. Whether to fight or defend, please ask the Pakistani army to make a decision early!"
Chapter one hundred and sixty-two Bait soldiers
The naval fleet has surrounded the port of Tuen Mun in a half-moon shape. The former imperial court has implemented a blockade strategy for Tuen Mun. There is a government navy patrol outside the island for a long time, which is a powerful family. The blockade cannot really cut off the supply line of Tuen Mun completely.
The expedition navy is not only large-scale, but also Yang Chengzu, an imperial envoy. No matter what the flag is, the ship can be destroyed first. The head of the waterway patrol who was originally responsible for the blockade order here has been beheaded to hang the mast of the command ship for public display.
This kind of blockade was finally implemented, and no one dared to show mercy to all the loyalists. Before the investigation, all the boats were intercepted by the government except two or three, and the messengers were tied up.
Yang Chengzu sneered at a few words: "People who are not afraid of death dare to send letters to Buddhists at such times. I don’t know whether to praise you for being friends enough or to say that you are too stupid to hide such a big noise. Even if you don’t come to Buddhists, you can get news. If you want to hit them at the root of the boat, you can’t take the initiative. This kind of thing has been in your own hands since we set out. It won’t help if you go."
Cenlian has changed her clothes at this moment, wearing leather armor and iron helmet, wearing a long card with one hand and a single hand. From the lively and lovely little lark at ordinary times, she has become a female general who kills the enemy in an array. There has been a cannon in the distance, probably an army patrol sentry boat for a small-scale battle. She stepped forward. "Brother Chengzu sent me as a pioneer. My department and I are no longer afraid of water, and we will definitely take care of ourselves."
"You’re not here to stay until later." In addition to being doomed to death, the captive in the cabin is his own harem and an outsider, and Yang Chengzu doesn’t mind teasing Cenlian with her. He said that his face turned red and bowed his head. "I have been working hard to serve my husband one night."
Yao Niang sneered, "Husband, you are probably going to let Cen Meng hit the striker to block the knife. She didn’t get it for nothing. What do you mean, it’s a good thing to stop the gun? If you are fine-boned by lead, Pi Fujun won’t be distressed to death?"
"I feel bad about which one of you is skinned. Stay here and don’t run around. We’re here to brush the credit, not to really work hard. It’s good for those rough people to do it. Just wait for you to enjoy it. Now it’s not time to fight on land. Even if you want to fight, it’s not as good as the Buddha’s boat. We can’t jump. This time it’s a big boat. Let them know that it’s amazing."
After Tuen Mun got the news, the fleet was reorganized for the first time, and Yu Bartolo was in command of the ship, while she brought half of the fleet out and the other half was equipped with mobile forces to protect the land. Although the battle was hasty, Bartolo’s expression changed from calm to confident.
"They can defeat the great Portuguese imperial navy general by despicable sneak attack? This is the fact that daydreaming informed the boys that all the guns were equipped with shotgun, and I wanted them to die before they came. The barbarian ships I have seen are not much more advanced than the fishing boats. Except for the fireboat, they have no means to resist me. I am a stupid barbarian. They are destined to make the fireboat in this war today. We want to thank the merciful God for blessing our victory. "
He pointed to the flagpole, the wind blew the flag, and the wind blew to the big side. In this wind direction, not only the Portuguese army would fight, but also the arms ship would burn itself.
Jade smiled and said, "I have to stay with my department at the Pakistani military gate, otherwise they will-I’m going to chicken out. The sea women are not as weak as you think. If the army is willing to take the lead and kill my husband’s enemies, it may be opposite. I have to teach them a lesson."
"Oh, my wife, I don’t think you need to do all this yourself. I’m willing to kill your enemy instead of you and send his head to you."
At this time, Yuyuan’s gentle eyes showed a sharp look, and the whole person’s temperament changed from a lady to a woman. "Ba Junmen, your kind little woman understands that I am not one of those embroidered women, but the princess of Zongjia is the daughter of the sea. I want you to see that I am not inferior to men in commanding the war and killing at the cold feet."
Seeing that she resolutely accompanied several guards to leave the ship for the Xu Shi fleet, Bartolo locked her waist and Meitun "merciful God save this lost lamb. Such a beautiful and brave woman will be the biggest gain of my trip to the East."
Until the jade went away, he issued an order to arrange the Xu Shi fleet, and the last party of the fleet came from all directions to carry the pirates to attack the army.
Most of the pirates’ big ships were captured by the loyalist during the Raiders period in Ningbo. Now they are mostly fishing boats and medium-sized ships. A few Haicang ships are actually much worse than the fleet in the heyday. However, the situation of Guangdong Navy’s once-out is no better than that of pirates. They are all small boats, and everyone’s level is quite high. How can they wash away the loyalist if there are enough ships?
If it is blocked by the loyalist fleet outside the port, Tuen Mun will lose its value. Hunger will be enough to wipe out their desperate thoughts. As soon as the pirates move forward, they will have the courage to rush towards the loyalist striker with the help of favorable wind.
The vanguard of the official army is composed of several Haicang ships, several Cangshan ships, and a number of small boats and auxiliary fleets. The scale is higher than that of the second largest ship, and there are also ship-lifting guns or shooting at the sea to hit the water column.
At this time, the artillery hit rate is poor, even the Buddha’s ship artillery can ensure that the artillery hit the loyalist is weaker. Finally, everyone will get close to the bow of Li Qi, and laugh. "These loyalists are here to die. Although this ship is much better than the second time, it is just that it is much worse than the lost ship. The goofs are going to kill and take their boat."
Qiu Sanhu looked quite puzzled. "The owner of the ship, I think about a question. Yang Chengzu went to Ningbo, Guangzhou, and the official army seized those big ships. It makes no sense to see all this junk elsewhere. Will there be fraud in it?"
"Three Tiger Brothers, you think too much. Those big ships and good ships may have been reported by Yang Ji, but they didn’t pull their own goods. How can you be willing to get shot in this war? You also know that even if he throws those ships in, it’s just a lose-lose. Who is willing to make such a good ship? No matter how many jumps they make, no matter what fraud!"
These pirates are almost under the artillery fire of loyalists, like wolves besieging elephants. They posted those loyalist ships. Because too many ships were lost in the previous battle, they urgently need to capture a number of decent ships to supplement their strength. Neither artillery nor ship ware can stop them from enthusiastically climbing the ship’s side and quickly engaging in a battle.
"kill!" Drink a lot, a vain wolf soldier falls backwards on his chest, and Li Guangtou has taken the opportunity to jump off the boat to pick up a knife, crucifying the wolf soldier with blood and targeting top, as if he had turned into an evil spirit rushing out of hell, laughing. "These soft-footed shrimps are unstable, mostly for the first time!" Play around and kill them all at will and grab the big boat. "
The ship is almost a one-sided battle. Those soldiers who face the wolves are vain and pale. They have the strength to be chased and killed by pirates. The look of Qiu Sanhu is getting uglier and uglier. Cut down a wolf soldier who is in the way and pull Li Guangtou. "Ship owners go, there is fraud!"
After saying his word, I heard a spring thunder exploding. On one side, the pirates cried out in despair. A big ship captured by the government in Ningbo War appeared.
Chapter one hundred and sixty-three Fireboat
Towering and majestic sea palace, three-masted pointed Buddha’s machine sailboat, second-class lucky boat style, pirate’s main ship, these fleets composed of large ships appear like giants, and those government warships caught in hand-to-hand combat mercilessly pour all kinds of firepower at those government ships occupied by pirates.
The artillery is no longer powerful, but fast and urgent. Because the distance is too close, even if the sea is bumpy, the artillery’s heavy hit rate is still high. The pre-loaded shotgun powder pushes it out and flies at high speed. The iron sand deck sweeps past those pirates who don’t respond, just like the crops in the harvest season.
Spherical shells are unscrupulously cutting the wooden hull, and the wood chips are splashing, and the fire is blazing. The gunpowder of the ship is ignited by the fire, and there is a huge explosion from time to time. Because these ships are anchored in advance and burned, they will not hurt their friends. The government and the army have made fire prevention preparations in advance, but they are not afraid that their ships will be ignited.
The loyalist ships and ships were trapped by wolves and soldiers. After the artillery attack, the pirates took the lead and suffered more than half of the casualties. The rest of the people were also disrupted. Because many leaders were not killed or injured in the shelling just now, the vanguard troops lost their command. Some people rowed and some people simply fled to the rear.
There were broken boards, boats and several dead bodies floating on the sea. The loyalist warships evaded the fireboat and rushed directly towards the Portuguese navy. These pirates fled in panic and almost messed up the Portuguese navy’s own formation, but the Portuguese army quickly disposed of them. The pirates fled in panic and stopped, and then the Portuguese fleet raised their sails and rushed towards the big fleet.
It is unrealistic to expect to destroy a ship of the same size by artillery because of accuracy. The so-called naval battle is still a sailor’s fight to win or lose.
In all fairness, the quality of the Portuguese navy is still higher than that of the navy’s navy. The ships have operated almost perfectly several times, giving full play to their artillery advantages, so that the army can take the lead. Several large lucky boats have been hit by bullets. One ship has already ignited a fire and the other ship has tilted.
Life-saving boats come and go frequently to transport soldiers to other ships. Yang Chengzu’s sea palace has not been commanded by Bo Wang Hong for the time being because it is located at the rear of the team. Because the ship has already ignited a fire before the charge, neither he nor Shen Xiyi were injured. Qinbing escorted another imitation Buddha Lang machine ship and still rushed to the front to pursue the Portuguese ship.
"It seems that after all, the navy is lacking in training Buddhists, and I am not as good as him." Yang Chengzu observed the battle situation on the deck. Although the loyalist was not progressing well, because the commander was in front of him and behind him was an imperial commander, someone took the lead in escaping like a naval battle. Instead, he stubbornly pressed the Portuguese with artillery fire and fired shells as much as possible in the hope of suppressing the Portuguese fire.
Yu Dayou watched the war players clench into fists, and both he and the new army were powerful, but they were not too worried about the outcome.
"At the end of the day, the naval warfare is still a matter of winning more ships, winning less ships, winning more guns and winning less Buddha and barbarians. Although we are good at fighting, we can still win if we have more people and more ships. How can we win the imperial palace? Foyi sailors and gunners really got this battle, even if there was a fight. "
He looked up at the flag and shook his head. "The wind is still unfavorable. We have brought a hundred fireboats to set fire to the enemy this time, but we can’t attack them in this wind direction. If we let the fireboats out now, we will definitely kill the Buddha. They broke the boat and pulled all the fireboats. Unfortunately, the wind …"
"General Yu, the wind is very beneficial to us. I also support the fire attack. The wind is just right for us to set fire. Don’t you see that our troops are trying to get closer to the Buddha, but they have not entered the hand-to-hand combat. If you really want to talk, one or two ships can always rely on it. What you don’t do is wait for the fire."
Qiu Sanhu Li Qi in the water was finally rescued by a boat with a piece of driftwood. Deng Tong, a pirate, was slightly unlucky and was beaten into a paste with a gun. Even the dead body could not be found. The two boats were panting. Li Qi scolded, "God-killing loyalists are more malicious than the old ones, and even their own lives are bait. Who came up with this bastard idea? Let me know who killed his family! "
Qiu Sanhu, however, kept a close eye on the war situation. After a long time, he pulled Li Qi "back to the castle now"
"Back to the castle? What are you doing back there? I think the Frankenstein fought a good battle. They may not be as good as the real Japanese, but the naval battle is much better. Look at this cannon, my ears are going deaf. Let’s just watch the fun behind us. "
"This time, the loyalist is serious. You see those ships don’t run backwards after being hit by bullets, but rush forward against the wind. Once the loyalist breaks his life, the Franciscan people can’t hold on. There are too few of them."
"No Xu Shi fleet is not the top? Although their boat was almost there, they always got top fire. There were a few brushes for the gang to fight. I think it was almost the same. "
"It is precisely because the Xu Shi fleet has gone that we have to hurry ashore. If we don’t run now, we won’t be able to come later." Qiu Sanhu issued an order to the sailors that the boat turned around and rowed ashore. The battlefield was in chaos. The guns on both sides were raining, and the water columns were like fountains. This chaotic situation, in which one or two boats fled, did not attract attention.
Bartolo is using his famous skill to command the fleet to adjust the queue and give full play to the advantages of artillery. He is not a brave general. In fact, he has designed a trap army and is about to enter him to dig a trap.
He induced the navy master to charge blindly and let his fleet enter the shore. The angle between fire prevention and fleet artillery fire. The large-caliber heavy artillery of the coastal fort is preparing to exert its power. It is bound to suffer great damage if it bombards the warships at the same time.
However, the entry of Xu Shi’s fleet made his fleet run a little sluggish. These ships gave people a feeling of being bloated and clumsy. They didn’t know what operation meant. Instead, they delayed the Portuguese navy’s play. Bartolock frowned and ordered his attendants around him.
"You go and give orders to those ships to let Lady Jade come to our ship and let her leave our array and enter the second sequence. What are those batteries doing? Didn’t you see my orders? Why don’t they wait for the priest to bless each gun before launching? I swear I will hang the battery commander! "
The attendant was in a hurry. The ship came to Xu Shi by communication ship, but he shouted a few times and no one put the gangway on and climbed up by himself.
There are no sailors or paddlers on the deck, as there are no guns or soldiers in the deck. He has pushed several doors in succession, and no one can see the figure. In the original resident’s room, you can see barrels of gunpowder shells or slate-faced attendants pushing one door after another like crazy, trying to find the target.
Until he pushed the kitchen door, he finally found that nearly 100 wooden barrels were piled up in one place, and the smell of burning fire rope filled the warehouse. He looked at the fire rope that had burned to the end, and he did nothing but pray.
Behind the Portuguese fleet, the so-called second sequence of Portuguese troops, several large ships in Xu Shi exposed their bows and rivets and slammed into the rear of Portuguese warships. Immediately, someone lit their own ships and prepared fish oil and hay.
Chapter one hundred and sixty-four Attack
When the first explosion sounded, Bartolo’s hull trembled. He didn’t mean it. It was normal to have unlucky people in this naval battle and get shot, but then the second explosion almost knocked him down, and the soldiers around him cried out in horror.
The Viking, which is located on the wing of the flagship, has ignited a raging fire, and the situation of Spirit seems to be not good. The artillery has stopped shooting and the ship is playing a signal that it needs rescue because of serious water leakage.
Fires are blazing and rocks are flying. In addition to explosives, stones, broken knives, residual guns and wood chips, Yang Chengzu once made 10,000 people in the Anlu defense war, and a large number of enemies were loaded on the ship. Because these objects were not too dangerous, the soldiers inspected the ship and did not stop them. However, the explosive power of these objects became murder weapons, and gunpowder pushed the sickle of death to wave wildly in the Portuguese naval array.
The history of this kind of fireboat didn’t come out until the independence of the low-lying countries. As a result, the Spanish navy changed its color from talking about fireboats to fighting the British naval battle, which frightened the Spanish navy. Yang Chengzu prepared these blasting boats, which could not be compared with the historical Antwerp fireboats in terms of the quantity and power of gunpowder, but it was enough for the Portuguese who suffered such an attack for the first time.
For the Xu Shi fleet, it was too close to the Portuguese warships without taking precautions. After a round of explosion, three of the Carrick sailboats were destroyed and the other lost its combat capability. At the same time, more than a dozen Xu Shi ships set fire to the Portuguese warships and spread with the help of the wind, flame and Portuguese front.
The explosion and fire instantly caused the Portuguese army to panic from behind, and the entire naval command was paralyzed, either busy fighting fires or saving people, or trying to break through the original stalemate. After this round of blasting, the victory balance has been broken and tilted in the direction of the army.
The fact of the sudden explosion also caused a great chaos in the military. Some people thought that something had happened on their own side and almost turned around and retreated. However, the Royal Guards drew a knife on each ship to stop the officers from retreating.
Look at Wang Hong, instead of retreating into his warships, people are gradually at ease to cut into the Portuguese army array, and at the same time, another landing fleet is arranged in advance to approach the shore, close to the loyalist, and take a boat to land and seize the beach.
The original coastal defense battery was dumb, and the artillery platform was on duty. The Portuguese army died all over the place, and there were several female iron gunners wearing bunts around the pirate department. Without the shore fire protection, the army was threatened to land smoothly. Cenmeng and some of his departments were arranged to advance to the island castle.
Although Tianzhou Wolf Soldiers have been to Guangzhou for a certain time, they have never been out of the sea for the first time. The first time they went out to sea, most of them vomited everything they could. Their faces were pale and their fighting capacity was vain. They only served as bait when they reached the bottom of the valley. They were also drawn from these people. Fortunately, they were less than half.
CenMeng didn’t say anything strange or refuse to obey orders, but held a broad-bladed knife and ordered, "It’s time for the imperial court to let me wait for meritorious deeds and let everyone see our wolf soldiers!" Lead hundreds of military forces to take the lead.
These wolf soldiers are bitter-faced, but they are still rushing forward. Anyway, it’s better to step on the land than to jump around in the boat. Portuguese land also has police forces to cooperate with pirates, and there are more than 2,000 people. Pirates from the sea are not bad.
However, the wolf soldiers did not encounter any resistance when they advanced for a while. They saw many bodies lying on the ground, most of which were Portuguese, and a few of them were pirates.
Those indigenous people and Portuguese personal firearms have been taken away, which shows that the winner of the defeated party not only killed a lot of Portuguese troops, but also controlled the battlefield. From the capture of these dead heads, it seems that the attacker did not behead for too long.
"False surrender and sneak attack on the Han people are really cunning. Once something happens, the defectors must not be trusted. Maybe someone is sent undercover by loyalists." Cenmeng muttered a few words and people around him couldn’t hear what he said about taking a break.
He looked at it and didn’t leave any firearms, so he reprimanded the troops for "going forward and taking the Buddha city. Everyone has a big reward."
For a while, I saw a team of about 100 or 200 people lined up in battle, which seemed to be waiting for people. Most of them were carrying firearms and had a strong scent of blood. The troops officer had said before, "At the end of the third battalion of Zhongyi, Chen Yuanmeng, the head of the second division of the left department, was ordered by an imperial order to open the road to the fortress. The enemy along the way was killed or escaped. Please feel free to enter the army."
