Chapter 176 Surrounding
The warships of the Ming Navy sent small boats around the back of Dazhu Island and cruised around Dazhu Island, seemingly to prevent the "Japanese pirates" on the island from escaping by boat.
The warship did not sail into the pier because the waterline of the pier was not deep and large warships could not enter at all, so the warship chose to anchor on the periphery of the island.
A middle-aged general wearing mountain armor and a scarlet cloak stood majestically on the deck. He was tall and burly, with an unsmiling expression. He held the sword on his waist and cast his cold eyes on Dazhu Island.
superior.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty was attacked by "Japanese pirates" and took away the treasures presented to the emperor. Once this matter reached the ears of the emperor, he would definitely be furious, and people like them would also suffer.
Especially when they annihilated Xu Hai's group last year, they did a lot of good things to themselves. They just didn't use the word "overseas purge" to describe their anti-Japanese record.
But now, not only has there been an unprecedented incident of Japanese pirates attacking the Ming Dynasty Navy, but they also took away the emperor's treasure. How does the emperor view them? How does he view their record of fighting Japanese pirates?
Governor Wu will be punished, and he, the commander-in-chief, will not be spared. If the court sends another incompetent governor who only knows how to corrupt the military, the good situation of coastal defense will also deteriorate sharply.
That's why he didn't have much time left. Not only did he need to get the things back as soon as possible, but he also needed to wipe out the emperor's anger with blood and give him a satisfactory explanation.
Now that it is known that the culprit is hiding on this island, he has also come with a large army. He just wants to level this evil island. This is just robbing the people along the coast of their property. He actually targets the emperor. This is not a disgrace to his fate.
Is it long?
"General, please be the vanguard and lead five hundred sergeants to the island to find out what's going on!" A general came to his side, saluted him and asked for his orders.
"You must not be reckless!" Yu Dayou looked at the heroic general with admiration, but shook his head slightly and refused.
"The general is already guilty, so please forgive me, general!" The general looked like he was eager to achieve merit, and he begged sincerely.
"Okay! Remember, proceed with caution!" Yu Dayou nodded slightly, but warned again.
"I will obey your orders, general!" The general's eyes flashed with joy and he saluted loudly.
If Lin Haoran were here, he would definitely recognize this person. It was Huo Dachun, the commander of the fleet he was riding on.
Huo Shen left with the order, immediately ordered five hundred troops, sat in a small warship and headed towards the pier over there, intending to land ashore from there, and then enter the island to find out the situation.
But this finding out the situation was naturally an excuse. He already knew the island well and had a plan in mind. So after landing on the island with 500 soldiers, he started the operation.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Lin Haoran discovered sadly that his body rose into the air again and was carried back to the village by Sha Hei like a wooden stake. Facing this big black man with strong body and brains, he had no ability to resist at all.
What made him vomit blood even more was that the big black guy really had no ill intentions. He was just worried that he wouldn't have time to escape back to the village, so he "gave him a ride".
Knowing that the Ming Navy was coming, the villagers were also frightened and hurried back to the village.
Not to mention that the main force in the village has left, even if it is still in the village, it may not be able to compete with this army. Now that the village is empty of power, how can it resist?
However, they knew that only by holding on tightly and waiting for the captain to send troops to come back for reinforcements would they have a chance of survival.
"alright!"
Shahei put Lin Haoran down, wiped the sweat from his forehead with satisfaction, and showed his white teeth towards Lin Haoran.
Lin Haoran glared at him, and was about to leave the village to face the Ming Navy directly, but found that the village gate had been blocked, and the young men in the village were carrying defensive equipment to the city wall.
In fact, this village is blessed with natural resources. It is hidden in this stone wall and has built a city wall, making it look like a fortress. If Tie Wenliang and the others are still here, I am afraid that even two or three thousand people may not be able to capture it.
A bald middle-aged man was directing everyone to deploy their defenses. Seeing Lin Haoran appear at the city wall, he mistakenly thought that he wanted to live and die with the village, so he took out a firecracker and gave it to him, saying he was a Francoist.
for fun.
But it wasn't that Bald Liu was very generous, it was that he didn't like the game of firecrackers. Knowing that Lin Haoran was knowledgeable, he gave it to him.
Lin Haoran happily took over the beautiful fire gun and carefully looked at this epoch-making hot weapon. People in this era called all shooting firearms fire guns, or fire tubes, but they had not been widely used in wars.
Although he had shot a lot of pistols in his previous life, he rarely had the opportunity to touch a real gun. He once dated a policewoman, but the policewoman felt comfortable. As a result, he tried to touch her gun, and his lower body almost collapsed, so that later
I don’t even dare to go to the police beauty’s appointment again.
Sometimes, a woman is so unreasonable that her own gun is given to her to play with, but hers cannot be touched.
Just when Lin Haoran was studying fire guns like a child who had found a treasure, the smell of blood filled the village.
call out!
A rocket was shot from the southwest of the village. A child was hit by an arrow and screamed as he was burned. A woman rushed over to save her child, but another rocket came.
The rocket did not hit the woman, but it was inserted into the nearby hut, and flames immediately burst out.
"It's gone! It's gone!"
A fire suddenly broke out in a low house in the village, causing everyone to panic and rush to put out the fire. The houses in the village were all connected, so if the fire could not be extinguished, the entire village would be burned to ashes.
It's just that this fire has just been extinguished, but another place is burning again, and rockets are flying from the southwest corner. There is a high ground there, although it cannot be attacked into the village, but it can be seen here, which is regarded as a vitality of the village.
.
"Everyone, stop putting out fires! Stop putting out fires!"
An old man suddenly stopped everyone in a panic and asked everyone to stop putting out the fire.
"How could we not save it? This is our home!" A woman was furious and complained with tears in her eyes.
"They are doing this on purpose, consuming our fresh water!" The old man burst into tears, having already understood the mystery here.
It is true that the village has fresh water resources, but they are very limited, so they often have to carry water back from the spring pool on the other side of the island. Now the village is surrounded, and if it loses the support of fresh water, it may not be able to sustain it for three days.
Woohoo...
Many women burst into tears. They had already run this place like a home, but now they saw that the whole village was going to be destroyed in a sea of fire. How could they not be heartbroken?
Some people were stubborn and wanted to rush into the fire and use sticks to put out the fire, but they were stopped.
On the top of the mountain, General Huo Shen resolutely stood in the queue and said to a soldier: "Listen carefully, once this stronghold is captured, everyone, old, young, women and children, will be killed. I will take credit for you on a head-to-head basis!"
Boom!
