Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-fifth Port Victory 【1 More】
Although Earl Harry said he knew a few words of Chinese, almost 99% of the words Dong Ke kept irritating Earl Harry could not understand. But not being able to understand did not mean that Earl Harry could not understand.
What does Dong Ke mean?
The long sword in his hand kept blocking. Earl Harry was born in a noble family and his swordsmanship was quite superb. However, his swordsmanship was too brilliant but not very practical. He could only block Dong Ke's attack by relying on instinct.
Just a reaction.
But looking at this situation, even Earl Harry knew clearly that if there was no improvement, he would probably not be a match for the general in front of him.
A spear was spread out in Dong Ke's hand like a dragon that could take someone's life at any time. Amidst the clanging sound, Earl Harry kept retreating. Suddenly, a cold light flashed and he saw Dong Ke.
Ko knocked the sword out of Earl Harry's hand, and at the same time the spear was pointed directly at Earl Harry's heart.
If this was a stabbing, I'm afraid Earl Harry would die on the spot. Earl Harry didn't care about his identity. He rolled on the spot, covered with dust. He was extremely embarrassed, but it was
Escaped that fatal blow.
Earl Harry stood up, grabbed a henchman beside him and slammed it towards Dong Ke.
Dong Ke shook the spear in his hand and smashed the soldier's head into pieces. At the same time, he took a step forward and stabbed Earl Harry again.
Earl Harry was holding a shield in his hand, and he swung it towards Dong Ke. Dong Ke dodged and smashed the flying shield at the same time, immediately smashing the shield to the ground.
Taking advantage of this moment, Earl Harry hid in the crowd.
Although both sides fell into chaos, after the initial chaos, the appearance of Earl Harry stabilized the morale of the coalition soldiers. Therefore, although the situation seemed a little bad at the moment, at least the morale of the soldiers was still stable.
Once the morale of the army is broken, no matter how many troops there are, they will only be defeated.
Earl Harry, who hid in the crowd, picked up a spear from somewhere. The panic in his heart calmed down a little, and he looked towards Dong Ke.
Dong Ke knocked away several soldiers who were rushing towards him, and looked at Earl Harry from a distance. The two looked at each other, and they could both feel the murderous intent of the other.
Dong Ke wants to kill Earl Harry, and Earl Harry also wants to kill Dong Ke. Both of them are the masters of an army. No matter what happens to either of them, the stalemate in front of them will be
There will be changes.
With a sudden movement of the spear in his hand, Dong Ke shouted to Earl Harry: "How dare you fight with me!"
After understanding Dong Ke's meaning, Earl Harry did not move at all. Being in the army, at least his own safety was guaranteed. He had experienced Dong Ke's strength firsthand. He was no match for Dong Ke. He had a problem with his head.
Only then would he run over and challenge him.
Earl Harry gradually mobilized the coalition troops and horses, and actually stabilized the situation, blocking the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Although the soldiers of the coalition forces were not the opponents of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in close combat, they were really indistinguishable for a while.
Win or lose.
Dong Ke frowned when he saw this situation. Apparently he did not expect that these foreigners could withstand the impact of his troops.
Taking a deep breath, Dong Ke shouted: "Come here, my general, push the Tiger Crouching Cannon forward and give me a hard blast. I don't believe they won't collapse."
Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed forward and pushed the squatting tiger cannons one by one to approach the coalition forces in front.
When the Tiger Crouching Cannon approached, Dong Ke ordered all the soldiers fighting with the alien coalition forces on the opposite side to retreat.
The Ming Dynasty's military law was very strict. When these soldiers heard the retreat horn, they immediately abandoned their opponents and retreated. For a moment, those who were struggling to resist the soldiers were stunned.
Even they themselves can see that if the stalemate continues like this, they will ultimately lose. It just depends on how long they can persist.
What they didn't expect was that the opponent who was suppressing them suddenly retreated. By the time they reacted, the two sides had already distanced themselves.
"What's going on?"
Earl Harry also noticed such a change, and subconsciously looked towards the Ming army camp. At first glance, Earl Harry's expression couldn't help but change, and there was a look of panic on his face, as if instinctively
The general yelled: "Defense!"
By the time Earl Harry shouted, the Ming soldiers had already opened the distance between them and the foreign soldiers, and at the same time, a row of Crouching Tiger Cannons appeared in everyone's sight.
Previously blocked by the retreating soldiers, the coalition soldiers who had suffered heavy losses from the Crouching Tiger Cannon did not notice that the Crouching Tiger Cannon was approaching them. However, when they saw the Crouching Tiger Cannon approaching, all of them couldn't help but look on their faces.
It changed drastically.
Earl Harry shouted, and all the coalition soldiers subconsciously took a defensive stance. However, along with Earl Harry's shout, a chill flashed in Dong Ke's eyes and he shouted in a deep voice: "Fire!"
Suddenly there was a roaring sound, and one by one the squatting tiger cannons sprayed out large pieces of broken iron and broken stones. Every piece of broken iron and broken stone was so terrifying. If it hits the human body,
It is just a bloody hole. If you are unlucky and hit a vital part, you will die on the spot.
Almost in the blink of an eye, soldiers fell one after another. Many soldiers in the coalition army watched helplessly as blood splashed on their companions in front of them, and then fell into a pool of blood.
After the first round of shelling, there was silence. The coalition soldiers opened their eyes wide and breathed hard, as if this could make them forget their fear.
"withdraw!"
Earl Harry shouted, turned around and left.
"put!"
Amidst the rumbling sound, there was another wave of shelling, and the coalition soldiers who had just turned around and were about to escape were immediately knocked down again.
Following Earl Harry's order and Earl Harry taking the lead in escaping, the coalition soldiers suddenly lost all fighting spirit and ran back toward the port one by one, following Earl Harry's footsteps.
Dong Ke let out a long breath, looked at the direction in which the coalition forces were escaping, and said with a bit of excitement: "Follow me."
Dong Ke strode after him, and behind him was a group of soldiers who chased after him with roars.
Military merit is the most important thing in the Ming army. If military merit is sufficient, even if you don't have any background, don't come from a family of generals, or are not a member of a noble family, you can still be promoted based on merit. Even if you become an earl or viscount because of merit, these are not free.
possible.
The change in the past decadence in the military has naturally given a group of ordinary soldiers the hope of rising through military service.
Fame was gained immediately, and the emergence of a large number of new military elites made countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty become martial and dare to fight.
The coalition army was defeated. Naturally, each one ran faster than the other when they fled for their lives. The Ming army chasing behind them kept catching prisoners. Because of the language barrier, many of the fleeing coalition soldiers could not understand the words of the Ming soldiers to surrender.
As a result, he was killed in such a confused manner.
Some coalition soldiers were smart. Seeing that they could not escape, they knelt on the ground and raised their weapons high to express their attitude.
Not many people did this, but all the soldiers who chose to surrender escaped.
In less than an hour, Dong Ke saw the merchant ships in the distance. There were vague smoke billowing in the port. The reason why there were fireworks in the port was because the battle not long ago affected some innocent merchant ships, making the merchant ships
Fire.
Although it was said that Cheng Yan was responsible for the fall of the port, Dong Ke, as Cheng Yan's direct boss, was partly responsible for Cheng Yan's crimes.
Therefore, all Dong Ke wanted to do was to defeat these invading enemies and then retake the port, so that he could give an explanation to the court.
"Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
The faces of the soldiers who were chasing the fleeing soldiers were full of excitement. Every soldier represented meritorious service and gold and silver rewards.
In the eyes of these soldiers, the foreign soldiers fleeing in front were simply walking merits and gold and silver.
In the port, Governor George, who had escaped earlier, was panting and climbing onto the flagship. Through his telescope, he could see the dark army above the port.
Just seeing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushing into the port, Governor George knew that they were defeated in the land battle.
Seeing the famous soldiers rushing into the port and possibly retaking the port in a short time, Governor George ordered: "Send my military order. All the artillery on the warships should be aimed at the port and bombarded hard!"
Following Governor George's order, dozens of warships were seen, and the muzzles of cannons gradually locked onto the port.
There are a lot of materials and commodities accumulated in the port, the value of which is probably no less than one million taels. In addition, there are many building complexes. In just a few years, Tianjin Wei Port has become more complete than it was a few years ago.
It has expanded several times.
The commodities in the port such as tea, silk and even fine porcelain are very important to even Governor George and Earl Harry. A lot of porcelain, silk and tea have been transferred to the big ships.
Go up and take it away as a trophy.
Boom, boom, boom
Waves of thunder-like roars came from above, and Dong Ke was startled. The footsteps of the soldiers who were chasing the coalition soldiers suddenly stopped, and he instinctively looked in the direction where the roars came from.
He saw the cannonballs in front of him shattering the buildings everywhere. Dong Ke even saw a solid bullet smashing a box full of porcelain on the spot. The intact and delicate porcelain suddenly burst into pieces.
