Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Sixth Jinyiwei Comes [2 More]
The screams came, and a coalition soldier was hit hard by a falling artillery shell. He exploded and shattered into pieces like meat. The beating artillery shell rolled away and broke into the crowd.
There were screams in the middle, and it was normal for bones to be broken and tendons to be broken.
The sound of shelling could be heard incessantly, regardless of the fact that in addition to the intruding Ming soldiers, there were also many coalition soldiers in the port.
It was obvious that Governor George did not care and only focused on the shelling. As for whether the shelling would cause any losses to his own people, this was not what Governor George had to consider.
As the shells fell one after another, not only the fleeing coalition soldiers were stunned, but also the group of Ming soldiers also suddenly became extremely panicked.
The destructive power of solid bullets is extremely limited. Unless you are unlucky enough to be hit directly by a shell, otherwise be careful and spread out your personnel. The lack of lethality of solid bullets will suddenly be highlighted.
Seeing countless cannonballs falling in the port, Dong Ke dodged to avoid a cannonball that hit him, and looked around with a rather ugly expression.
Although the lethality of solid bullets is insufficient, they cannot withstand the opponent's crazy bombardment without spending any money.
The port is so big. If the opponent's hundreds of cannons fire thousands of shells one after another, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.
"withdraw!"
Gritting his teeth and feeling a bit unwilling, Dong Ke decisively ordered to withdraw from the port.
The port is really too close to the opponent's warship, and it is just within the range of the cannons on the warship. If we try to break through forcefully, we will definitely not get any benefits, and may even suffer huge losses.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who originally rushed into the port now exited the port like an ebbing tide.
After exiting the range of the artillery, you can clearly feel that the sound of shelling from the direction of the port has suddenly decreased a lot.
On the big ship, Governor George, who had been paying attention to the situation in the port through a telescope, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dong Ke leading the troops out of the port.
Not long after, the sound of shelling stopped completely, and screams could be heard from time to time in the port. A figure crawled out from among the ruins, covered in dust and looking extremely embarrassed. It was none other than Earl Harry.
Earl Harry spat out a mouthful of saliva that was full of mud, mixed with a few traces of blood. If it weren't for the clothes on his body, just looking at his gray-faced appearance, I'm afraid not many people would be able to recognize that such an embarrassed person was Harry.
Earl Ray.
When Earl Harry washed up and boarded the flagship, Governor George was preparing delicious food and waiting for Earl Harry.
Earl Harry left before death, especially when he was left behind by Governor George. He was suffocating a lot of anger in his heart. After sitting down, he didn't even look at Governor George, but just ate with big mouthfuls.
Governor George looked at Earl Harry with a smile, but he was not affected at all. He also took a knife and fork and ate contentedly.
There was a clang, and Earl Harry couldn't help it. He smashed the knife and fork in his hand on the plate, stared at Governor George and said: "Old George, what do you mean! Do you want to trick me to death?"
He slowly took off the napkin, then took the handkerchief nearby and wiped his hands, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, then looked at Earl Harry and said: "Harry, don't worry about the process, just look at the results.
.”
Governor George's intention was very obvious. Although he cheated Earl Harry in the middle, overall, the final result was good. At least they were all safe, and even most of the soldiers retreated.
.
Just staring at Governor George, Earl Harry's chest rose and fell. Looking at Governor George's face, Earl Harry tried hard to resist the urge to punch him in his heart, and finally said viciously: "If there is another time,
You and I will go our separate ways."
Outside the port, thousands of Ming soldiers blocked the port, but they did not dare to break into it easily.
In a simple tent, Dong Ke, dressed in military uniform, was looking at his generals.
I only heard a general saying to Dong Ke: "Sir, I am willing to lead a group of troops into the port. I will definitely drive those people out of the port."
Dong Ke glanced at the general lightly and said: "Even if you can drive the opponent out of the port, so what, can you sink those hundreds of ships?"
The general couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard the words, not knowing what to say at all.
Knocking on the table, Dong Ke swept the crowd and said slowly: "Everyone, please cheer up. I have drafted a memorial to the imperial court asking for help. Before the reinforcements arrive, the port must be blocked and no one is allowed."
A man walks out of the port."
In the evening, night fell, and the port gradually fell into darkness.
In the melee during the day, neither side actually gained anything, but relatively speaking, the Portuguese and Helian coalition forces suffered considerable losses.
Originally, the two countries tried their best to gather more than 4,000 troops, but after a great battle, more than 1,000 people were killed, missing, and injured.
More than 4,000 people landed, but the number of soldiers who finally returned to the port was only about 2,500. After such losses were calculated, even Governor George and Earl Harry were horrified.
They only knew that the losses in this battle were not small, but they never thought that the losses would be so great. After all, they had never suffered such heavy losses since their expansion, so the two of them received the statistics of casualties.
At that time, you looked at me and I looked at you, obviously stunned.
On the flagship, Governor George stared at Earl Harry for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "If I had known that this would be the result, I would not have come with you so easily."
With a cold snort, Earl Harry said: "Sooner or later there will be a battle between the Ming Dynasty and us. Now the Ming Dynasty's navy is obviously weak. If you and I join forces, we can still fight. If we wait until the Ming Dynasty's navy becomes stronger in the future, I'm afraid this
There is no place for you and me on the ocean."
Governor George glanced at Earl Harry and said: "This governor will send people to spread the news back to the country as quickly as possible, and will definitely send more warships and troops from the country, hoping to defeat the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop before its maritime power rises.
Navy destroyed."
Earl Harry laughed loudly and said: "Old George, I have always thought that you are short-sighted and ignorant of the overall situation. I never thought that you actually have such a long-term vision in this matter."
The port was quiet, with groups of soldiers patrolling. Dozens and hundreds of large ships were docked in the port. However, in order to prevent being attacked at night, these large ships did not dock directly at the port, but instead docked at the port.
Above the water, in this way, even if it is attacked at night and blocked by the water, at least there is no need to worry about being boarded on the ship.
In the darkness, several figures walked silently in the port. These people stretched out their hands vigorously, and even if they were some obstacles, they just jumped over them with a slight jump, but there was no movement at all. It was obvious that these people were all
A martial arts practitioner with considerable martial arts training.
The first one among them is dressed in gorgeous clothes. If anyone sees it, they will definitely be shocked, because the clothes are clearly the bullfighting uniforms given by the emperor. To be able to wear such gorgeous clothes, he is either an important official of the imperial court or a royal guard.
High level.
At a corner ahead, several figures suddenly stopped, and soon a group of soldiers came over holding torches.
Looking at the group of alien soldiers approaching, the leader jumped first, like a ghost, and broke the necks of several soldiers in the blink of an eye.
As for the other patrolling soldiers, their necks were wiped one by one at this moment.
One of them took off the clothes of these soldiers, then brought them to the imperial guard official in bullfight uniform and said: "Master Yue, I will help you change your clothes!"
If a person from a well-known martial arts sect saw this official, he would probably recognize at a glance that this person was none other than the former head of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun hugged Chu Yi's lap, but he relied on his own ability to rise through the ranks in the officialdom. From a member of one hundred Jin Yiwei households, he gradually became the commander of the Jin Yiwei. Even within the Jin Yiwei, he was extremely powerful.
Character.
The commander of the Jinyiwei is Qian Ning. Although he is not Chu Yi's person, Ruyue Buqun has made it clear that he is an official of the King Wu Party, and he can be regarded as Chu Yi's eyes and tentacles in the Jinyiwei.
Yue Buqun changed into a set of clothes and tidied up a little. At the same time, several of his elite guards also changed their clothes. If you didn't look carefully, you really wouldn't be able to tell that they were the same as those on patrol.
What is the difference between soldiers?
After looking around and confirming the general direction of where they were now, Yue Buqun nodded to the men beside him, and then the group walked out of the corner.
Holding torches, Yue Buqun and his party headed straight towards the depths of the port.
After passing many levels, those who can hide the truth will do so. If you are unlucky and encounter some coalition guards who are carefully checking, then I am sorry, how can a mere ordinary soldier be the opponent of Yue Buqun and other Jinyiwei experts, and there is not even a fuss.
If he made any movement, his neck would be broken.
At this moment, a Jin Yiwei official lowered his voice, stared at the coalition soldier who had his neck choked and blushed, and said, "Tell me, where is your leader?"
Slightly loosening his grip, the soldier who was almost suffocated couldn't help but take a big breath of air and finally took a breath. When he saw the ferocious face so close, the coalition soldier felt something in his heart.
As soon as it sank, I subconsciously opened my mouth to scream, but I heard a click, my neck hurt, and my head drooped. It was obvious that my neck was broken.
