283 Little Fish Eats Big Fish

He Bingwen laughed hardly and said: “It’s not like being an adult, marching troops is not a child’s play. It’s a matter of arrogant decision … cough, isn’t it a bit …”.

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said: “Since marching to fight is not a child’s play, I am a womanish woman and not a military general. How can I get an idea?”

He Bingwen was so embarrassed that he had to smile bitterly: “Is Adult Cheng blaming me? Have?

Actually … Master Yang often said that war is not to fight for war, and can not be happy for a while. But Hemou is at war, and talking about Chaozheng is a layman, so I should not fight this battle. When and to what extent should I fight. Adult Cheng has always followed the Governor General and has a better understanding of the adult ’s thoughts, so this officer has sincerely asked for advice. “

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said: “If you say this earlier, it will be over, then I will temporarily fill any adult counselor to help you come up with an idea. From the situation of Adnie said, what we call the Franco machine is not One country, but two, now Lusong Francis machine, Manchurian Francis machine, Macao Francis machine are all from one country, we do not know how they are related to each other.

Second, Western pirates have court support, and even … Some regular armies are actually doing pirate sales, so we do n’t know what the identity of Manchu plus pirates is.

Therefore, we will not be able to speculate as to how the smuggling merchants will be annihilated, how the thorns and pirates will react, and whether this temporary stalemate will be disrupted. After all, killing more enemies on the battle front will not be a reason for the country’s family to complain, but because the smugglers complained of assassination and killed a corrupt official. He killed more than a thousand women, children and children, and could not hold a word. “

Cheng Qiyun glanced at He Hebing and saw that he was fascinated, and then continued: “On the other hand, the Francois who occupy Manchuria will never give up without force and deterrence, so they are with them. This battle was settled. He saw the strength of Daming Mariners. He was willing to give up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the land, and later to do business with Daming in a more orderly manner. From this point, they need not be too polite. “

“However, they are now the maritime hegemons. From the west to the east of the ocean line, they have taken the lead and grasped their hands. Daming can’t help but look at their existence if they want to develop maritime transportation. The two countries are thousands of miles apart. There is no way to hurt the other party because of the long distance. The war will continue to consume financial resources, and it may be that other countries are mixing fish in the water, so why bother?

“So …” Cheng Qiyun picked up the tea. He smiled and said: “So the battle is about to be learned, not only to hurt him, to be afraid of him, but also to form an inexplicable hatred.”

He Bingwen heard thoughtful thoughts and pondered for a long time: “Senior man’s meaning. This battle still has to fight the ground, but only to kill as few lives as possible, so as to leave room for the future.”

Cheng Qiyun said with pleasure: “Exactly!”

Adni heard that more than half of the island was a woman and child of the Franco Kingdom, and inevitably moved her heart, saying, “It is difficult to succumb to the soldiers without fighting, but it is not difficult to minimize casualties. They Cangpan fled, there were not many artillery on board, and there were many women and children. The combat power is difficult to guarantee.

If we lead their warships away during the battle, and the troop transporters take advantage of the empty space on the island to occupy Huzhouyu, breaking the warship ’s back path, and taking the women and children on the island as hostages, and then announcing that the surrender of the court will fall lightly Forgive them that they will no longer have the determination to burn both jade and stone. “

He Zongbing’s eyes lit up and smiled: “Miao, Ming Xiu plank road. Dark crossing Chen Cang. Taking hostages. Throwing a mouse taboo, and finally the strategy of attacking heart. The girl of Adni is very good.”

Adnie smiled smirkingly. This strategy was not what she came up with, Da. When the Gama fleet attacked the indigenous tribes, this strategy was often used because of the limited fleet strength.

Relying on firearms sharply, they used a force to draw away the native soldiers, and then the other lurking troops took advantage of the opportunity to attack their tribe, holding the women and children before threatening them to surrender.

It’s just … The result of the forced surrender of the natives is that the young and middle-aged people who are fighting are often slaughtered out. ‘Fall from light hair’ is always an empty talk. If their strength is not enough to control the entire tribe, the slaughter becomes inevitable. means.

Cheng Qiyun said again: “It was only after seeing several generals auditioning warships outside that they were mentioning the strategy of using small ships to fight large ships, and many ships to fight few ships. This Franco man has limited combat power. Forced landing is the main reason, and it is not appropriate to kill a large number of people. Just let the fleet take them to try this tactic. “

He Bingwen said with a smile: “Did you say Peng Shark’s ‘five-point plum blossom array’? Hmm …” He thought for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: “Okay, just do it! Come on, let’s beat the drums!” “

“Seraph, this is not the way to go. We should take the risk of escaping to Manchuria, despite being blocked by Daming Master, but as long as we pass, we are safe. What now? What if I stand here, I can see the land opposite , The Ming court will definitely send troops. “

A blond man shook his head impatiently: “Don’t complain, Pires, the people full of thorns are a group of pirates. We haven’t dealt with them, maybe they are Spanish.”

Short breeze swayed on the belt around his waist, he tore a grass stem, and his leather boots climbed the lush grass to the top of the cliff, breathing a few breaths with his hips: “Even if they are Portuguese It is nothing but a combination of gangsters, prisoners, and robbers.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty may cut off our heads as a punishment, but in the hands of these pirates, they will sink all our men into the sea, and then steal our gold coins and play with our women. “

He shrugged and said, “Dear Pires, if that’s the case. I’d rather fall into the hands of the Ming dynasty than to be unloaded by the pirates’ double-edged axe and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.”

He said as he walked to a rock on the cliff and sat down.

Under the cliff is the azure blue sea, crystal clear like a piece of beautiful jade, smashing the waves on the rocks, the white is like a lily on the beautiful jade, the waves push out a white line. Like a beautiful pattern.

He propped his elbows on his knees and held his forehead anxiously. The sea breeze flicked his hair, just as disturbed as he was. Pires was a red-haired man in his forties. He patted relief on Seraf’s shoulder and sat down beside him.

The seagulls glanced low, and a cry came, and Pires muttered: “We have only enough food to eat for seven days. The news that the Macao officials were killed must have been reported to their government. I don’t think they If you just sit back and ignore it, you have to find a way. “

The Macao he said was Macao. When they first came here, they went to the island and went to the Mazu temple to enter the Xiangdi people. They asked the name of the place. The people mistakenly thought that they asked the name of the temple. He replied “Ma Ge”, these Portuguese people with different languages ​​decided to call it “macan”. Although they now know the real place name, they are used to calling it Macao.

“I know. It’s safer to escape to Luzon now, but it’s hard to say if I can stand still. In addition, the ‘Mermaid’ was heavily shelled and had to be stopped for maintenance. The most pity is that we still have three commercial ships that haven’t returned. We are in a hurry Escape from Macao, I am afraid to be separated from them. “

Seraf stood up excitedly, spread his hands and shouted, “My God, that’s the three cargo ships I just funded. They won’t get the news, they will be confiscated by the Ming army when they return to Macao. Damn it, my ship, my ship, ship! “

His last sentence of “ship” was suddenly raised eight octaves, like a ghost, and surprised Pires, and quickly said: “Seraph, calm down. Calm down. The Chinese said:” Stay Qingshan is here, and I am not afraid of no firewood burning. As long as we regain our foothold in Luzon, the boat is not as much as we want to build. “

Seraf pointed to the sea like a ghost and continued to shout straight: “Ship, there are so many ships! My God is the battleship of the Ming Army!”

Pires turned his head in amazement, and there were dozens of warships coming to the sea. The sails were spreading, riding the wind and the waves. Pires couldn’t help but change his complexion, but also cried with the stranger: “God, so many Ship! Hurry up and run away immediately! “

Seraf looked closely and narrowed his eyes: “It’s all small boats, there are no large battleships, we can’t beat it in terms of speed, we can kill them with our firepower, come on, immediately go down the mountain and let the warships leave the port and be blocked in the bay. It ’s going to be over here. Sink them, sink them, and before they send out a large fleet, we can have enough time to fix the ‘Mermaid’ and then escape to Luzon. Hurry up, Pires! “

As the crisis approached, the destiny of two speculative smugglers was inspired, and they hurried down the mountain to recruit warships to face the sea. When they lifted their anchors and sailed slowly out of the bay, the same number of flat-bottomed sand ships appeared behind those Ming warships, turning halfway, taking advantage of the characteristics suitable for shallow water and reef areas, to the reef side of Wuzhouyu The coast was approaching, and the Portuguese warships that were turning from the bay did not find this other enemy at all.

The Portuguese had five warships, but the “Mermaid” was seriously damaged during the escape, and was stopped for repairs. There were only four warships. In addition, there were two armed merchant ships equipped with four guns. Advantageously, they greeted the Ming army fleet in a wild goose-wing shape.

The azure blue water is surging, although there are many Ming warships on the opposite side, but obviously they are small warships. According to their understanding, such ships are equipped with two artillery guns per ship, so the firepower is obviously not in their eyes. Therefore, the “Pirate King”, who served as the vanguard, did not wait for the cooperation of the two-wing ground warships, so it speeded up and rushed toward the Ming army fleet, trying to sink several Ming ships in the first place, and defeated the Ming warships from the momentum.

The white-haired Peng Shark supported the side of the ship and stood on the bow. Han Wu and another sailor general stood beside the rudder wheel. This battle is the first time that multiple ships with weak firepower are fighting against densely-fired but relatively small number of enemy ships. It is a technical warfare. Just in case, half-familiar naval generals like Han Wu hold many to learn and observe Attitude, and handed over the formal command power to experienced veterans of naval warfare.

Shark Peng narrowed his eyes and watched the movement of the enemy ship. The large battleship in the center broke away from the wing-shaped fleet and suddenly entered without the cover of the two-wing ship. He immediately caught his attention.

As soon as the main sail of the enemy ship fell off the ground, Peng Shark immediately ordered: “The enemy ship is about to attack, the ships are separated, cut and surrounded!”

The enemy ship’s massive hull slowed down, the hull began to tilt, and the row of dense guns had exposed the first muzzle. However, the experienced Peng Shark issued a scattered order as soon as the other side put down the main sail. The maneuverability and flexibility of the boat fully played a role at this time.

The huge hull was slowly moving to the attack position. The “Pirate King” was surprised to find that the Ming warships that were marching jagged on the opposite side had been divided into two teams and left to the left and right. The open sea in the middle was completely given up. they. The ‘Pirate King’, whose hull has completed its horizontal waiting to be attacked, must readjust its position.

But at this opportunity, the four small Ming warships approached from the direction of the bow and stern towards it like crazy. At the same time, the Ming warships divided into two wings were dispersed again, and the two teams became four teams, and the four teams became eight teams. Each team consisted of four to five ships, taking advantage of the sudden insertion and the flexibility of the hull, while avoiding The port gun of the Portuguese ship is crucial. While trying to get closer to them.

“Boom”, the Portuguese ship that arrived later opened fire first, and the artillery fire stirred up a column of water at the sea, but due to the avoidance of the Ming warships, the vanguard warships had already interspersed into the Portuguese camp. So that their ground artillery can not be launched without care, the harm caused is limited.

A toll sounded, and a Ming army clipper was attached to the “Pirate King”, and the huge hull of the “Pirate King” shook. The sailors grabbed tomahawks and guns and rushed to the side of the ship, lying on the gang to shoot and throw weapons at the boat.

However, they were surprised to find that the Ming army wearing a helmet and holding a vine brand did not try to board the ship at all. There was no hook sickle or hook on the ship’s side, only listening to the sound of “Dong Dang Tom”, and then the Ming Army was like a coward. After leaving the warships, they jumped into the water and desperately swam away.

I don’t know what piled up on the ship, the fire spread instantly, and the fireship was like a maggot attached to the pirate king. The boat sailed it, and the fire continued to burn. The sharp-eyed sailor found that the Ming army used a “passing ship nail gun” to nail a dozen lines of rope to the “pirate king” shipboard, so the sailors had to curse and throw down the knife and gun to get it. Pumping equipment.

But at this time several other ships were approaching. They used a lot of flammable firearms, rockets, spray barrels, fireballs, tribulus terrestris, smoke balls, smoke pots, etc., although they would not cause too much damage to the Portuguese ship. But it also made the black smoke. The sailors were overwhelmed. As the ship was close, although there were only two artillery on the Ming ship. But fighting in circles, plus the huge Portuguese battleship, the target is obvious, so the damage should not be underestimated.

An armed merchant ship was hooked by the Ming warship, the artillery on the ship was useless, four ships hooked the merchant ship with a hook cable, and soldiers began to climb on the ship, and the other ship was swept by fire and bows and arrows. The firepower on the ship was used as a cover.

“Oops! This kind of fight is like ants eating elephants, and our firepower advantage is simply not being used!” The careless Seraf was frightened and immediately ordered all warships out of combat and out of the encirclement of the Ming army in order to reopen Battle formations, use of long-range and artillery attacks.

The Portuguese warships forcibly broke through, but a large hole had been burned on the side of the pirate king. At this time, the waves on the sea were not high, otherwise the wind would cause huge waves, and if the water entered the cabin, the pirate king would roll over. Another “Selam” was also towing the fireboat, followed by thick smoke rising from the bottom of the boat and fled.

In addition to the Ming ’s self-immolating fireboats, three other warships were destroyed by their warships. From the casualties of the soldiers, the Ming army was more, but two of the four Portuguese warships were damaged, which they could not afford to lose.

The “Pirate King” gathered up the warships, rearranging their attack formation in shock, they had only five ships left, and there were ordinary Portuguese merchant ships that finally rushed onto the ship after the Ming army repelled three attacks. Later, when Seraf ordered the fleet to get rid of the war circle, the ship was still in place to fight for control. It seems that it should have been completely occupied by the Ming army, because it also joined the Ming army battle array and launched an attack on itself. formation.

The troop carrier was quietly approaching on the other side, and a large number of infantry waded on the shore. Because the island of Huzhou is too large, the Portuguese did not arrange for guards on this side. They sent out groping terrain to detect enemy conditions and scouted the Sanli Mountain Road. No suspicious traces were found. Has hurried back to the report.

Peng Xiaoxun showed his muscular muscles, a ghostly sword on his shoulders, and sullen face to make those pawns form a good formation. Adeni stood side by side with him coolly. She wore a full set of bright silver scaly armor, and the silver helmet on her head shone, but she did not hold a sword, and only two short flames were inserted in her belt.

Her armor is actually not iron, but paper armor. This is light and easy. Originally, He Bingwen and Cheng Qiyun both refused to allow her to fight. Both of them knew the importance of Yang Ling, but Adni insisted on coming. Besides, looking for someone who is proficient in the language of Fran, and can quickly gain the trust of women and children on the island, and appease them. It is none other than Adene. In the end, the two had to agree and secretly told Wu Hanchao and Song Xiaoai to protect her Security.

At this time, Song Xiaoai was crouching beside her with a smile. Nunjun could n’t help watching Wu Hanchao gagging there, she laughed while pounding Wu Hanchao ’s back: “Master Peng said that the sea ship is inferior to the inland official ship, so you can sit down and stand still , Hee hee. Wudang ’s pounding weight can hold your feet, ca n’t you hold your stomach? “

“Oh ~ Oh ~, dead girl, lighter. Og ~~, why are you okay?”

“Hee hee, I haven’t been in a boat, but it’s okay, I don’t know.” Song Xiaoai said with a smile.

“General Wu is okay? Or let him stay for a while, we will take the army to go”, Adeni said with concern.

Wu Han stood up with a bitter smile. He shook his head and said, “I’m fine. I’m ready to go, I can keep up.”

Just kidding, how can he stay here if he is responsible for protecting Adni. Slowly say that Adnie is a very important figure in the improvement of Ming firearms, and he is careless just because he is the fiancee of the Governor ’s lord.

The Ming army set off along the winding coast, with archers and gunners in front. The sword and shield are behind. There was no heavy infantry and equipment in the army.

The Portuguese camped on a hillside in Xiangyang, and there were 60 guards holding weapons in the camp. In addition, the sailors on the Mermaid are stepping up repairs. They are also soldiers who can participate in the war at any time. The other people are the wives, children and slaves of these Portuguese smugglers.

Due to the battle at sea, although the battle situation was not visible when standing here, all the family members stood anxiously on the shore and looked at the distance. When the Ming army appeared from behind them, no one had discovered that it was the sailor on the ship. It was first discovered that Ming Jun was approaching quickly, and hurriedly shouted.

The panicked women and children screamed and dispersed, while the soldiers grabbed their weapons and searched for bunkers. The two Portuguese were suddenly standing behind the rocks in front of them. Several archers hurriedly took aim with their arrows and only listened to the two sounds of “bang”. The flames in the hands of the two Portuguese had already flew far away.

Adene squatted back to the stone with two smokey flames, only showing a pair of beautiful big eyes staring at the battle ahead, she was about to reload ammunition, and the two startled Portuguese were stunned. Several arrows shot through the body and fell down. Adeni frowned, “People who lose their weapons don’t kill any more, try to catch them alive!”

At the same time, she raised her voice and shouted loudly to the opposite side in Portuguese, but despite understanding her language, how could the Portuguese people believe that they still resisted by relying on rock bunkers everywhere. But they have too few soldiers in the field. Except for the hillside where they are fighting in a stalemate, the Ming army has scattered to capture women and children who have fled everywhere. Soon they will form a siege, and the Portuguese will bow and The counterattack that Huo Bong suppressed was getting weaker …

On the sea, the two sides once again engaged in confrontation, and the Portuguese from afar began to strike with fierce artillery fire. However, after the first round of competition, the Ming army had some experience with the plum blossom cutting and siege. The angle is more tricky.

A group of four or five Ming army warships that seem to have no formation. Each has its own goals and intersperses. Artillery shells blasted water columns around them, and their flexible and rapid movement made them possible to minimize the reloading. They were hit with artillery fire, and they were approaching purposefully. After losing three more warships, they formed a sub-combination again. The situation is like a group of crazy little piranhas, staring at one with fangs and teeth. But there was nowhere to talk about the big sea shark, attacking unscrupulously.

The Portuguese ’s main battleship has dense artillery fire. Once the battleships of the two sides form a mixed formation, they ca n’t form an effective blow. That situation is like a giant waving his fist and a ball of air to fight. Crazy.

Just then, a series of dense explosions came, and the explosions were both dense and intense. Seraf looked at the place where the explosion sounded, and saw a burst of fire still ringing. The smoke of the “Maria” was billowing and the fire was blazing.

With another series of dense thunderous dull explosions, the whole ship was cut in two from the middle, and the seawater quickly poured into the belly. The two truncated ships were pressed towards the middle again, and the bow and stern were raised high, and some sailors who had not been killed screamed and jumped into the sea desperately from the ship.

The fight seemed to stop at this moment, and everyone looked at the long fifteen feet. The three-story giant ship sank into the sea in an explosion, watching it surrounded by thick smoke and fire. Finally someone exclaimed: “God,” Maria “‘s gunpowder store was hit, it was sunk!”

The Ming ’s warships also temporarily stopped the attack, and the gunners on the five boats besieging the “Maria” were ignorantly who did n’t know who shot the shells so cleverly, just hit the enemy ship ’s ammunition depot, so that The behemoth sank.

Under normal circumstances, even if the giant ship is standing there and letting them fire, I am afraid that all their shells will be shot. It may not be possible to sink the enemy ship. This probability is too small, so that the happily Ming Navy sailor was also stunned there.

The desolate conch awakened the warring parties, and Pires looked down at the bay, and saw a small merchant ship swaying toward the battlefield, with a dazzling white flag hanging from the mast.

The ship is getting closer and closer, and everyone can clearly see that there are more than a dozen women, old people and children standing on the bow. Behind them. It is a Ming sergeant with bright armor, a sword out of the sheath, and a bow.

The fighting spirit of the Portuguese quickly disappeared, although they also fought. But they are not real warriors. The sinking of the ‘Maria’, the devastation of the ‘Pirate King’, and the fact that the island has been occupied and the wife and the child have become captives, these cowardly smugglers have become timid.

Seraf noticed that the soldiers were full of hesitation in looking at themselves, especially when the Portuguese family on the bow shouted, “Let ’s surrender and surrender, the Ming court will be lenient.” Hanged down.

Seraf knew that the general trend was gone. His ship had been flooded with some seawater during the fierce battle. The hull was tilted. He stumbled to the side of the ship and shouted: “Fall the flag, we surrender! “

His men immediately executed the order without hesitation, and Seraf looked to the south of the sea, a smile uglier than crying on his face: “Maybe … Pires is on the ground, if I At that time, I fled towards Manga … “.

When Yang Ling secretly returned to Fuzhou City, he heard that the streets and alleys were telling that the army had fought a big victory, and captured a large number of ghosts. Both the man and the woman described vividly the situation in which the prisoners of war had just been detained in Fuzhou City. Yang Ling couldn’t help but know what happened.

If he makes a mistake when he is away, as the coach, he will undoubtedly bear all the blame. Yang Ling inquired that the Fans had been taken to He Zongbing’s military camp, and did not even return to the Governor’s Mansion.

Yang Ling rushed into the big tent, and at first glance saw two blond men standing in the tent, and two others standing next to him. . Yang Ling was stunned and exclaimed in surprise: “Black man?”

At this moment, a pleasant whisper: “Dear Yang, you are finally back”, and said, a handsome little general wearing bright silver fish scale armor suddenly fell into his arms.
