0913 The Boat of Life
The man walked up quickly, looked at Huang Long, bowed and said, "I have seen Lord Huang. The little Niuman Village has greeted him!"
Huang Long looked up and down at Niu Mancun and said, "Who are you? What are your plans? How many ships did you bring?"
Niu Mancun said: "We are just a group of pirates. You may have heard of it, the Red Eye Dragon King! Now we are discussing the recruitment with the court. I heard that the Later Jin Tartars attacked Lushun, so we came to help."
Huang Long was overjoyed when he heard this! He said loudly: "It's true that he is a righteous man! I just don't know how many of you have?"
Niu Mancun said with a look of distress: "It's so let General Huang find out that we have a lot of people, but we only know how to fight at sea. Land combat is equivalent to giving away people for free!"
Huang Long thought about it, sighed and said, "It's true! Naval battles and land battles are not the same. Then forget it, but what are your plans?"
Niu Mancun said: "We are the leader and said that it is probably impossible to block the Later Jin Tartars! So we are positioning it to save people! We brought many boats, and took one to fill it, and then headed straight to Shandong. But there are a few points that General Huang needs to cooperate."
Huang Long nodded and said, "As long as you can save more people, just give me the order!"
Niu Mancun said: "First point, the ship is limited and the time is still short. In order to load more people, all people on board must abandon everything and get on board quickly!"
Of course Huang Long knew the severity of the matter. It would be nice to have someone out at this time, so he could not care about anything! He immediately agreed and said, "I agree to this one! I will let the soldiers guard the dock. You say the second point."
Niu Mancun said slowly: "This second point is hard to say. If you want the people to board the boat as much as possible, there are probably some people who want to block the Later Jin Tartars. Some people may never be able to board the boat again!"
Huang Long laughed and said, "What do I think is this? It's much easier to do than the first thing! I thought that the whole city would die tonight, but I didn't want to have a way out! Since that's the case, I, Mr. Huang, will break the back personally!"
Niu Man
The village bowed with respect and said, "General Huang Gaoyi! In addition, although we are not good at land warfare, we can also help a little."
Huang Long shook his head and said, "Then there is no need! You are taking the risk to come far away, and you still have to rush to kill? What's more, if you don't wait for the way to fight, wouldn't that be vain?"
Niu Mancun did not answer, squatted on the ground and drew a simple picture of the dock with his fingers, saying, "This is several intersections outside the port, and it is the only way to enter the port. These paths must be kept tightly by the adults! But there are many houses and warehouses there, and our people are good at using muskets. They can support you with muskets on the roofs of houses and warehouses."
Huang Long heard this and said, "It's so good! I'll go to command myself!"
At this moment, Fan Hualong limped towards the dock with the help of his personal soldiers. Behind them, they followed a large group of ordinary people crying and shouting.
When Niuman Village saw these people, he became anxious! He hurriedly said: "General Huang, please arrange someone to guide the people on board the boat immediately. If you fill a boat, you will take another boat!"
After saying that, Niu Mancun waved to the ship and shouted loudly: "All Marines disembark!"
A group of marines immediately poured out from the four ships. Niumancun called the commander and assigned defense positions on the map on the ground. He repeatedly told them that they could only fire muskets on the roof and not go down to the ground to participate in hand-to-hand combat.
Huang Long had already met Fan Hualong and said, "How is the situation?"
Fan Hualong said: "We spread the news of reinforcements. The soldiers became much more stable after they knew it! Now Wei Luan and the others are leading soldiers to intercept the Later Jin Tartars!"
Speaking of this, Fan Hualong saw the soldiers and the big ship disembarking, and said in surprise: "Sir, are those ships coming to pick us up?"
Huang Long said: "That's right! It's the heroes from the sea who brought a boat to pick us up! Let's not talk about this for now, let's explain something to you. If you are injured and unable to move, you will be guarded at the dock. All the people are not allowed to carry any property, they can only get on the boat with empty hands! They must also gather the defensive line of defence!"
After saying that, Huang Long took off the general seal on his waist and handed it to Fan Hualong and said, "This seal must be returned to the court, and you must not be left behind.
Enter the hands of the Later Jin Tartars!"
Fan Hualong said anxiously: "Sir, you'll get on the boat! I'll do the things that are broken after the dead!"
Huang Long laughed and said, "No need! I am your Shangguan or the local garrison general. It is my duty to die with the city! Don't say it anymore, remember what I just said!"
After saying that, Huang Long led his men to the city. At this time, the sound of killing in the city was shocked. Huang Long happened to meet Wei Luan being broken through the defense line by the Later Jin army. Huang Long immediately rushed up to kill the Later Jin army and rescued Wei Luan!
In this way, Huang Long became a firefighter in Lushun City and continued to lead his troops to reinforce various defense lines. Although the Later Jin army had been continuously entering the city, the nature of the robbers made them plunder and a large part of the power did not suppress Huang Long and the others. This gave them enough time.
While fighting against the Later Jin Tartars, Huanglong organized the people to retreat towards the dock. He also ordered his subordinates to set up several lines of defense behind him. Once this line of defense is lost, he retreats to the next line of defense.
Yuetuo was not in a hurry after receiving the news of strong resistance in the city. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before he took down Lushun City! Moreover, he could not distinguish between the enemy and us in the dark, so those who invested too much could easily cause death and injury to his family. Therefore, Yuetuo was not in a hurry to attack Huanglong, but just asked the people below to keep putting pressure on Huanglong's front.
But they didn't know that there was a fleet coming on the dock. In order to hide, Niuman Village did not light the lights when approaching the coast! This was a risk of their lives while sailing! You know, modern steel ships are a big hole when they hit reefs! If wooden ships in the Ming Dynasty touched reefs, they would end up being broken into pieces!
On the dock, Fan Hualong personally led people to maintain order. He ordered the people to leave all the things they carried and board the ship directly. However, the people were reluctant to leave their belongings and had many disputes with soldiers. Fan Hualong was impatient and found a few people who pushed and rushed to the army, and was beheaded by him and showed his head to the public, saying that the head was picked at the top of the bamboo pole! This made the people have some order.
