In fact, when there was no movement after William and others entered the port, Dalikisi and others faintly realized that something might have happened to William and his party.
However, due to their confidence in their own strength, coupled with Allen's words, Dalikisi and others at least did not think that William and others would be in any big trouble. Even so, Dalikisi still
Allen was sent to lead people into the port.
But things are different now. If the loss of contact with William and others was just the beginning, then the distress signal sent by Allen's soldiers at this time made Dalikisi and other officers realize that although they said they had sunk
Although they captured those ships, it did not mean that the port really fell under their control.
Not to mention anything else, at least there must be something that could threaten their safety in this port.
Thinking of the impressive soldiers who retreated into the port they saw through the telescope, the joyful mood of Dalikisi and others naturally faded a bit.
However, due to their trust in their own strength and the fact that they traveled across the ocean, countless indigenous people were destroyed by them. They had never suffered such a big loss. In the eyes of Dalikisi and others, they had never suffered such a big loss before.
If you suffer a loss, then you will definitely not suffer a loss this time.
Taking a deep breath, Dali Qisi said with a fierce look in his eyes: "An Lund, you immediately lead a large team to enter the port for me, and be sure to find Allen, William and others."
An officer stepped forward and saluted Dalikis, then stepped off the ship. Soon he saw a group of Portuguese soldiers walking ashore in neat steps.
This time Darikis spent a lot of money and dispatched more than half of the army soldiers accompanying the army.
Although this fleet is said to belong to the navy, there are also a lot of land troops on board, with as many as two thousand people. Excluding the soldiers that William and Allen took away successively, Dalikisi still has nearly a dozen soldiers in his hands.
More than 1,700 people.
And this time An Lund took away a thousand people, which was thousands of soldiers, especially among these soldiers, at least half of them were armed with firecrackers. As for the other soldiers, they were also equipped with longbows.
The long sword can be said to be well-equipped.
Qi Jingtong and others who were hiding in the port also noticed the movements of the Portuguese fleet. When they saw a group of barbarian soldiers coming ashore, Qi Jingtong's eyes flashed and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
In this port, Qi Jingtong actually didn't have many people gathered, about three to four hundred people, although Chu Yi left him two thousand soldiers to guard the port.
However, Shi Jianguo was only the size of a county, and Qi Jingtong only had 2,000 available soldiers. Although the port was an important place, Qi Jingtong only had 300 or 400 soldiers left.
Don't think that the number of soldiers left by Qi Jingtong is small. In fact, in comparison, the port is very safe. Not to mention other things, the combat power brought by the two battleships Changping and Changning alone is enough.
Cope with all the changes.
That is to say, we encountered such an entire Portuguese fleet. Otherwise, if Dalikisi's fleet was slightly weaker, it would be impossible to sink the two battleships Changning and Changping, let alone break in.
In the port.
Shijian Yinshan is actually the place that Qi Jingtong cares most about. As one of the few large silver mines in Japan, Shijian Yinshan can be said to be the top priority. Almost all of them are gathered on Shijian Silver Mine alone.
There were as many as 50,000 to 60,000 slaves.
You must know that when the Shijian Silver Mine was at its largest, there were only a few thousand slaves working as miners to mine mineral deposits and smelt gold and silver. After the Shijian Silver Mine fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, these military generals looked at the Shijian Silver Mine.
The silver mines went crazy, arresting Japanese civilians and taking them to the mines as slaves to dig the mines.
In a short period of time, no less than 100,000 Japanese civilians were taken into the Shijianyin Mountain, and a large number of slaves died of exhaustion. Even so, about five or six people were maintained in the mine.
Thousands of slaves.
With so many slaves, even if some Japanese people helped to suppress and maintain them, Qi Jingtong still arranged for a thousand elite soldiers to be stationed at Shijian Yinshan.
A thousand elite soldiers, plus almost thousands of Japanese people who had defected to the Ming Dynasty, had completely controlled the situation in the Shijian Silver Mine. Even so, slave rebellions still broke out in the Shijian Silver Mine from time to time.
Therefore, Qi Jingtong did not dare to deploy too many soldiers at all. One thousand soldiers was already the bottom line. If it were any less, the slaves in the mines might really rebel.
In addition, the order in Iwami's country always needs to be maintained. After all, no matter how crazy the people are, it is impossible to take away all the hundreds of thousands of Japanese people. So after the initial madness,
, Ming Dynasty stopped this behavior and began to rule these people.
If you calculate it like this, you can imagine the available weapons in Qi Jingtong's hands.
At this time, Qi Jingtong only had three to four hundred soldiers under his command. Previously, with his numerical advantage and the favorable location, there was no problem in attacking William and ambushing Allen and others.
But at this moment, the Portuguese fleet sent thousands of elite soldiers. Even when Qi Jingtong saw the orderly formation, holding blazing guns and shields slowly entering the port in neat steps, the look on Qi Jingtong's face couldn't help but
A little more solemn.
The deputy general next to Qi Jingtong saw the situation in the distance and couldn't help but said to Qi Jingtong: "Sir, there are too many of these barbarians. What should we do next?"
Qi Jingtong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Even if we fight to the last soldier, we will never let these barbarians occupy the port. Otherwise, even if I die, I will not be able to face the chief executive!
"
However, Qi Jingtong is not a fool. With such a big gap in the number of people between the two sides, he will not stupidly lead his people to fight head-on with the opponent. Instead, he will take advantage of the geographical advantage and start a guerrilla war with Anlund in the building complexes here and there.
Although they had to face Qi Jingtong's sneak attacks from time to time, relying on their numerical advantage and neat military formation, Anlund's troops were not affected at all, and they quickly found the injured Allen and others.
Originally there were almost hundreds of people including Allen, but under Qi Jingtong's ambush, less than half of them survived, and Allen was even more injured.
When he saw Anlund, Allen's eyes were filled with scarlet color and he said to Anlund: "Anlund, you must catch those cowardly mice, and I will skin them alive."
Skin!"
Obviously, in Allen's view, his invincible naval officer suffered such a big loss at the hands of a group of natives. How could this not make Allen angry?
Arrangements were made to send Allen back to the ship, but Anlund acted steadily without being affected by Allen at all. He pushed forward bit by bit, compressing the living space of Qi Jingtong and others.
If this continues, if nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before Qi Jingtong and others will lose their hiding place. After all, under An Lunde's push, Qi Jingtong and the others will not be able to fight head-on and can only take their time.
Retreat, but the port is only so big, and even the newly built courtyards only have so many. Once they are forced out of the port, surrounded by wilderness, Qi Jingtong and others will naturally be exposed to Anlund's thousands of troops.
Just when Qi Jingtong was dragging An Lunde with the help of the favorable location, Shi Jian saw a group of people from the direction of Yinshan rushing toward the port quickly.
The mine is located about ten miles away from Iwami Port, so it doesn't actually take much time if you hurry up.
When he sensed something was wrong, Qi Jingtong sent his own soldiers to the Shijian Mine to mobilize troops. Almost an hour or two had passed.
At this moment, smoke and dust were billowing on the ground, and a group of people and horses were seen running toward the port at extremely fast speeds.
The leader was a group of well-equipped cavalry, almost hundreds of people in number, and behind them was a dark mass that looked like a group of farmers.
Needless to say, these hundreds of cavalrymen were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were stationed in the mines, and the dark mass of men and horses behind them were gathered Japanese soldiers who had surrendered.
These Japanese soldiers naturally became the minions of the Ming Dynasty, helping the Ming Dynasty manage the order in the mines and suppress the slaves who dared to resist.
Mao Yuannai was a member of the Hundred Households, and he had more than a hundred cavalrymen, which could be said to be all the cavalry that could be found in the mines. They were all assigned to him by the Qianhu Officials.
At this moment, Mao Yuan shouted angrily at the Japanese soldiers behind him, urging them to hurry up.
From a distance, smoke could be seen in the direction of the port. Mao Yuan knew that the situation at the port was not very optimistic, but Mao Yuan never worried about anything.
The Ming Dynasty was invincible in all directions, and even the powerful Tatars were defeated and almost wiped out. It would be strange if they stumbled in this barbarian land.
