Chapter 494 Collision between powerful countries [2 more]
3 When they noticed Mao Yuan's reinforcements, Dali Qisi and other officers were restrained. They did not know that the so-called soldiers brought by Mao Yuan actually did not have much combat effectiveness at all, but Dali Qisi and other officers were stunned.
I guess they don't know at all.
All they saw was a group of at least thousands of people rushing toward the port amidst the billowing smoke and dust.
The fighting power that Qi Jingtong and the others showed when they were fighting An Lunde was absolutely not bad, and it could even be said that it frightened Daliqisi and others.
There were not a few indigenous aliens they slaughtered, often dozens of people chasing hundreds or even thousands of indigenous people. However, hundreds of indigenous people like now were holding back their thousands of elite troops. This was the first time they had seen this.
arrive.
You must know that from the perspective of Dalikis and others, even if their national strength is equal to theirs, the navies of Spain and the Netherlands, which also span the sea, cannot resist thousands of people with hundreds of people.
Now hundreds of people from the other side were stunned and held back thousands of them. This was already frightening to Dali Qisi and others. As a result, thousands more troops came. How could Dali Qisi and others not be frightened?
Shocked.
Dali Qisi put down the telescope in his hand, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, and he ordered decisively: "Send the order, order Anlund to bring people back!"
It was obvious that Dali Qisi was afraid. Even if he was not afraid, it was still a sign of lack of confidence in his heart.
A rapid horn sounded, and Anlund, who was about to force Qi Jingtong and others out of the port, was now looking at the courtyards in the distance with excitement.
It can be said that Qi Jingtong and others have no choice but to retreat now. If they retreat, they will really have nothing to rely on.
It was at this time that the horn sounded, and when Anlund and other officers heard the horn, their bodies suddenly changed.
As officers, they were naturally able to discern the meaning of the horn. Not only them, it could be said that all Portuguese soldiers could understand the meaning of the horn.
Retreat, Dalikisi was actually ordering them to retreat at this moment.
There was hesitation on the faces of An Lund and others. If Dali Qisi was in front of them, An Lund would definitely punch Dali Qisi without hesitation, and then asked the other party why he ordered the withdrawal. Is it possible?
I wonder if they will be able to force Qi Jingtong and others out soon?
No matter how unwilling they were, An Lund and others listened to the increasingly urgent trumpets and knew in their hearts that they had to withdraw their troops. The military orders were like mountains, and this was true in both the East and the West. Once the military orders were violated, they would be punished even if they were ordered to do so.
Even if military law is enforced, no one will intercede on his behalf.
With some reluctance, Anlund gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Retreat!"
Following Anlund's order, the Portuguese soldiers who had gradually surrounded Qi Jingtong and others began to retreat slowly one by one.
I have to say that these Portuguese soldiers are indeed elite, and there was no flaw even when they retreated.
By the time Qi Jingtong discovered that these Portuguese soldiers were retreating, the two sides had already distanced themselves. Seeing that the other side was retreating without any confusion, Qi Jingtong gave up his plan to pursue and kill them. After all, Qi Jingtong's own losses were not small at this time.
.
There were originally three to four hundred soldiers who fought with the Portuguese side for a long time. For about an hour, the two sides fought one after another, each suffering losses.
At least at this moment, Qi Jingtong only had about 300 men left, which meant that he had almost lost more than a hundred people in the battle.
Looking at the retreating figures of the Portuguese soldiers, Qi Jingtong and others let out a sigh of relief.
But it was said that An Lund led his men to withdraw from the port. Also following their retreat were the corpses of their fallen companions. After all, they had the advantage in numbers and had the upper hand, so they could take their dead companions with them when they retreated.
The corpse of a companion.
When hundreds of corpses were brought back, they were placed one by one in a dark mass on the deck, which was really dazzling.
William and Allen killed almost a hundred people in two waves. In addition, Anlund led people to hunt down Qi Jingtong and others and killed dozens of people, which means that the Portuguese side almost lost more than a hundred people in the battle.
More than a hundred corpses were placed there like this. Seeing this scene, both Dalits and other soldiers and officers showed shocked expressions.
Although as a soldier, I am used to seeing life and death, the key has always been the killing they brought to the natives. When did they have so many casualties?
This was more than a hundred soldiers. Compared to their combined number, which was only a few thousand, it was already a considerable loss.
Portugal only has a million people in the country. Even if the entire country is trying to develop a navy, the number of the navy is extremely limited.
The population limited the size of the Portuguese army, so the death of any soldier was a huge loss to the Portuguese navy.
You must know that even in a year, the battle losses of the entire navy may not exceed a hundred people. But this time, Dalikis was just a squadron. In one battle, hundreds of people were killed.
How could this not shock Dali Qisi and others?
Dalikisi's face was ashen. He knew very well that no matter what, he would not be able to escape the military court. No matter what, the death of hundreds of soldiers alone was not something he could afford.
.
Of course, unless he can demonstrate sufficiently astonishing military exploits, otherwise, the rest of his life can be imagined.
A series of eyes slowly fell on Dali Qisi. Everyone saw Dali Qisi's expression and could understand Dali Qisi's situation at this moment.
Dali Qisi was obviously responsible this time, and everyone was worried that Dali Qisi would not be able to withstand such a blow. Fortunately, although Dali Qisi looked ugly, at least he did not collapse.
"Governor, what should we do?"
The most important thing now is to determine whether it is war or peace. After all, they cannot just stay in this port and do nothing.
If they want to continue to occupy this place, they naturally don't say it. They just keep fighting. If they want to withdraw, of course they have to evacuate as soon as possible before the opponent's reinforcements arrive.
Dalikisi took a deep breath, looked at the crowd with a bit of madness in his eyes and said: "Everyone, since our Portuguese Empire has been crossing the sea, have we ever suffered such a big loss? More than a hundred compatriots
If we die here like this, do we have to leave in such a dejected manner?"
Gradually, the eyes of the surrounding officers and soldiers showed signs of unwillingness, and Dalikisi continued: "As the Imperial Navy, we bear the glory of our country. If this stain cannot be washed away,
How can we have the dignity to return to the empire and face these compatriots who died in the war?"
"Revenge, revenge, revenge!"
I saw an officer waving his fists and shouting. Under the influence of this officer, everyone shouted.
Dali Qisi breathed a slight sigh of relief. Being able to become the governor of a fleet, Dali Qisi was naturally not an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary person, he would not be able to achieve today's achievements and status.
Dalikis had already calmed down when he saw the corpses of hundreds of soldiers. He knew very well that if he left in such a dejected manner, even if he was not accused, he would still lose his current power and status.
It will also disappear.
How could Dali Qisi, who had long been accustomed to this feeling of having great power, tolerate the absence of power, and even become the object of scorn in others' mouths? Dali Qisi made a decision almost instantly. He wanted to cleanse himself.
Shame, wash away the stains on your body with the blood of your enemies.
Seeing that all his subordinates had finally unified their thoughts, Dali Qisi secretly exhaled a sigh of relief.
When Dali Qisi made up his mind to find Qi Jingtong no matter what and cut him into pieces, Mao Yuan finally led a group of people to join Qi Jingtong and others.
When he saw the embarrassed appearance of Qi Jingtong and others, Mao Yuan couldn't help but said in shock: "General, this... what is going on? When did the Japanese pirates become so strong?"
Hearing what Mao Yuan said, Qi Jingtong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head towards Mao Yuan with a wry smile and said: "Mao Yuan, our enemy this time is not Japanese pirates, but a group of Yi fleets from unknown places!
"
Mao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "What, the Yi fleet?"
Taking the telescope handed over by Qi Jingtong, Mao Yuan could clearly see that in addition to the smoke of gunpowder in the port, there were dozens of strange-looking ships.
Especially the flag hanging on the ship. Even though the pattern on the flag was very unfamiliar, Mao Yuan could tell that it was definitely not a Japanese pirate.
"This...couldn't this be the Western naval power that His Highness once talked about?"
Since Chu Yi vigorously developed the navy, he naturally warned the generals who accompanied him on the expedition. Therefore, whether they understood it or not, at least they knew that in addition to the Ming Dynasty, there were also some powerful foreign countries on this vast sea.
They also set their sights on the sea, and even walked one step faster than Daming.
Even though Mao Yuan was just a member of a hundred households, he had an extraordinary background. Many generals in the army took good care of him, so Mao Yuan knew many military aircraft that ordinary officers did not know.
Qi Jingtong nodded slightly and said: "Seeing that these people are obviously not stragglers and pirates, they are comparable to Japanese pirates. Especially with the momentum of the other party, apart from the regular army of a country, I really can't think of any other possibility."
Strong or not, regular army or miscellaneous army, after the previous battle, if Qi Jingtong still couldn't feel it, then he would be too sorry for Chu Yi's regard.
