Chapter 617(1/2)

"Let's go up and grab the turret back!"

More than 30 Portuguese holding a medlin gun quickly organized themselves and walked up to the stairs toward the fort. The turret was located on the top of the mountain, and the fortifications seemed very rough, which instead enhanced their confidence.

Puff! Puff!

Only when they rushed to the hillside, they suddenly flew over lead bullets and bows and arrows, caught them off guard.

A tall Portuguese man covered the hole with his hands, and a large amount of blood immediately overflowed from his fingers, instantly dyeing his palms red, and he fell to the bottom of the mountain like a rolling stone.

The hope of victory that had just been ignited at this moment seemed to be poured off the head by a basin of cold water, which made them realize the cruelty of reality. This was definitely a strange Ming army.

For ordinary Ming generals, I am afraid that they would not realize the importance of the fort, but both Lin Weiran and Qi Jiguang listed this fort as a top priority.

Duan Dalu, wearing Leaf Armor, emerged from the top, put away the bird guns that were emitting smoke, and looked at the people below with contempt, showing a bit of the general's majesty and pride.

After breaking through the outpost, he separated with Qi Jiguang's army and led his troops directly to the Fortress Mountain from the small path. His mission was to guard the fortress he had seized.

Military merit is a poison, at least for Duan Dalu.

Although he has grown from a hundred households to a thousand households, he has been unable to suppress himself and continues to climb up. It is not only for his descendants, but also for himself, and wants to become a guard with military merits under the protection of Lin Yanran.

commander.

Now, facing these wolves and tigers, he is not afraid at all. Even if he fights with them with swords, he is confident that he can fight against four.

Seeing these aggressive gangs of Folang Jimen thinking about rushing up again, he didn't have any mercy. He raised his hand calmly, then waved his order forward and said, "Shoot!"

The lead bullets and arrows did not have eyes, and flew downwards. Some hit stones, some hit tree stumps, and some hit the flesh and blood body. Even if they didn't hit people, it was enough to make the Portuguese hearts.

fear.

Woo woo...

Several black men who were forced to block bullets in front of them took advantage of the Portuguese's inattention and threw the grenade gun in their hands to the ground, then fled toward the ground with their heads in their arms.

"Come back! Come back!"

The leading Portuguese watched the flesh shield escape and gave orders to the fleeing black man furiously, but the words came to an abrupt end. A cold arrow penetrated from his back to his heart, and the anger on his face had not yet been curled.

The person just got out of here.

Seeing the flesh shield in front of him fleeing, the leader of Ravalt was killed again, and the other Portuguese looked at each other and had already felt a desire to retreat.

But it was not that they were cowardly, but that they were loose individuals. This plan was planned to rule here in the form of a council, but with the arrival of the strong Galenell, the plan also went bankrupt.

Not to mention whether they can still win the final victory, even if they keep here, the biggest beneficiary is Galenell, and their benefits are not very substantial and they cannot make such a desperate effort at all.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Portuguese suddenly dispersed and the horn of the attack stopped.

"Let's leave this ghost place!"

Seeing that they could no longer hold on, the people in the gathering area immediately packed up their bags and left. Some of the Portuguese who participated in the war found their families and hurriedly brought the most valuable things with them, such as gold coins and Kruzado coins.

Seeing that some of the compatriots had chosen to escape, more and more Portuguese left with valuable things and headed towards the ships moored at the dock and around them.

On the wall of the fortress, Qiao Yifeng clearly saw the development of the situation, showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and knew that he had almost won the victory. At this moment, he stood in front of the west wall with great enthusiasm, his eyes not far away.

On the river surface.

Although there were many ships moored, the most eye-catching one was the two big black ships. However, one black ship had slowly moved, and the muzzle was still erected towards him, while the other was still standing in the river.

middle.

Facing the dark muzzle, Qiao Yifeng was not afraid at all.

The heavy artillery of the Flang Jiman needs to be fired upwards, and is now floating in the estuary of the rolling river. If someone is not careful, not only will he not be able to hit the fort, but he will smash his own church.

Another point is that the big black ship focuses on naval combat and mostly uses heavy artillery with a not-far range. However, at this distance, the advantages of heavy artillery are completely unable to play a role.

Boom!

The fort continued to show off its power, and a bomb landed on the big black ship parked in the river.

The real name of the Big Black Ship is Carrick Sailing Ship. Because its hull is pitch black, it is simply called it by the Ming people.

This kind of merchant ship developed specifically for ocean trade is amazing in weight and is also a favorite of adventurers. Such big black ships are used by the great navigator Columbus to explore the new continent of the Americas and Magellan for global navigation.

These two large black ships belong to Galene, or to the Portuguese royal family. The load capacity of this type of ship is hundreds of tons and is suitable for the ocean, so you can make a fortune in one trip.

Even now, although the big black ship has exposed its bulky disadvantages, it still has an irreplaceable position.

The shell weighing ten kilograms fell into the big black ship, smashing a hole in the hull, but for such a giant, it seemed like it was tickling it.

"Where do you call me? Go aim!"

Qiao Yifeng suddenly came to his senses, but he strode to the gunner, slapped him on the back of the head and said angrily.

The gunner looked aggrieved on his face, but he didn't argue much and continued his homework.

The following shells did not fall to expectations and did not land on the big black ship anchored in the river, but on the water in front of the big black ship. The shells relied on the dual use of kinetic energy and potential energy to pull up in the river.

With a huge wave.

Some small boats that originally planned to escape to the big black ship stopped and fled to another big black ship or other ship.

If you just pull it closer, you will find that on the deck of the big black ship, you are already shouting and killing the sky. Gradually, some Portuguese actually jumped off the boat.

Opposite to the Xijiang River is Doumen, but at some point, a group of pirates had appeared.

It was the lively time here. They had climbed onto the deck of the big black ship at some point, and a big boat-catching drama was being staged.

"This gang of robbers! robbers!"

When he saw the big black ship originally anchored in the river slowly heading towards the sea from afar, Vitor was full of disbelief and shouted loudly at the ship in anger.

Regardless of the value of this big black ship, it has the wealth they have accumulated, and it has snatched away their most valuable treasures, so how can it not shock and anger him?

I thought this Ming army just wanted to regain their territory, but I didn't expect it to be so sinister that it would actually plot against their big black ship and the treasures on it.

If he had known that he had been this attempt, he would rather give up this territory than let them succeed. But there was no medicine for regret in the world, so he could only stomp his feet and lead the people to chase the boat in a hurry.

With Vitor taking people to chase the boat, even the Portuguese who were unwilling to give in would have to choose to escape here and would not be a prisoner of this country.

It is worth mentioning that the muzzle of the Portuguese warship had already faced the shore and was covering the evacuation of the Portuguese, which made the Ming army dare not pursue and attack again.

Not long after, Qi Jiguang's army finally arrived at the conference square.

After the 32nd year of Jiajing, when the Portuguese entered Haojing by borrowing land to dry and soaking goods, after six years, Haojing returned to the Ming Dynasty again. This is a day worth remembering.

The parliament square has already appeared empty, and most of the Portuguese have chosen to escape, and some have chosen to stay, but their faces are full of worry and frustration.

Father Gaspar Da Crus stayed here with a group of priests, and did not choose to leave, but his face could not hide his bleak look and he had no hope for the future.

He was a member of the Jesuits and came to the East to preach very early. Although he had great success in India and Japan, he knew nothing in this wealthy Ming Dynasty and could never legally enter this country.

Six years ago, the Portuguese finally occupied this place, and their Jesuits also built this church based on it, and were preparing to kick off the preaching of the Ming Dynasty here.

However, this small light of hope was closed again, and his long-cherished wish to preach in the Ming Dynasty ended in failure again.

Some old, weak, women and children hid behind the priests and watched the Ming army walk into this place, and were also scared and trembled.

More than a dozen black people stood there, watching someone pointing at them with bird guns, and they honestly hugged their heads and squatted down. It seemed that they were afraid of being bullied, and these black people seemed very honest.

Qi Jiguang, wearing armor, had no intention of killing them all. He could cut the Portuguese with blood on his hands, but he would not attack the elderly, weak, women and children.

Regarding this, he and Lin Weiran had reached a consensus that the main goal this time was to regain the territory and ports of the Ming Dynasty. However, his brows were slightly furrowed to the missionaries who participated in the battle.

"General, I've discovered it!"

A hundred households strode forward and bowed to Qi Jiguang to report.

The soldiers behind him came over with a few crying women and girls, and there was also a young Portuguese who seemed drunk and cursed in Portuguese.

Upon learning about the situation, Qi Jiguang's face immediately became gloomy and walked towards the Portuguese. However, he did not expect that these Folang Ji people were so bold that they actually ran to Xiangshan County to take the women.

"What are you going to do?" The young Portuguese asked nervously in a rude Chinese. Looking at Qi Jiguang taking action, he immediately threatened: "My father is Galenel de Sosa, I am a nobleman of the Kingdom of Portugal.

, If you dare to touch me, you, including your country, will die miserably!"

Bang!

How could Qi Jiguang be afraid of this threat? He swung his fist and smashed it directly at the cheek. He immediately had a twisted face and bloody teeth flying to the ground.

This punch was extremely heavy, and it also shocked and woke up the arrogant young man. The land had already changed its owner.

After completely controlling the place, Lin Weiran, wearing a fifth-rank official robe, finally appeared, followed by Xiangshan magistrate Li Jialiang. Seeing such a record, Li Jialiang was secretly shocked and hugged this thick thigh even more firmly.

Lin Weiran looked at the building full of Western style, walked slowly to the conference square, and looked at everything here with satisfaction.

This plan to recover Haojing was naturally promoted by Lin Qingran. Even with Qi Jiguang and the Portuguese in Haojing had not yet become a climate, he was still very worried before.

Now, seeing Hao Jing being taken back, my heart was relieved.

This time, not only did he regain territory for the Ming Dynasty, but he could also open up the route from Haojing to Leizhou and use the resources of Guangzhou Prefecture to make his plan to open the sea smoothly.

"Sir, fortunately, I'm going to live up to the mission!" Qi Jiguang lowered his posture and greeted Lin Qingran.

"General Qi, you have made great contributions this time, so you don't have to be polite to me!" Lin Qingran hurriedly supported him and said with a smile.

After Qi Jiguang finished talking about the evil deeds of the Portuguese forcibly carrying women, he pointed to the missionary sitting on the ground and asked, "Sir, what should these people do?"

Lin Weiran's eyes fell on the missionaries, and his eyebrows were only slightly frowned. Although he could not say that he was disgusted, he did not have much favor.

"What do you want to do with such a savage act," Godfather Gaspar asked him immediately, in his very skillful Chinese.
