The sound of firecrackers and fighting on the shore continued for most of the night. After the fighting quieted down, the people who came ashore finally sent a victory signal to the fleet. They kept watching the fleet on the shore going up and down.
Only then can everyone feel relieved.
Next, it is time to send a clipper into the harbor and disembark, set up camp, stabilize the position, and treat the wounded.
However, there was no signal from the flagship, as if the signal from the shore was not seen at all. This not only made the soldiers in the fleet who were gearing up a little puzzled, but Yan Jiu on the shore was also a little confused.
There are burning ruins everywhere. Soldiers holding torches are walking through the ruins, each looking for their wounded. This is easy to identify.
Yanjiu's soldiers attacked from the outside in, but the Xu family's troops attacked from the inside out. When the two sides met, the screaming Luzon natives dispersed and followed their own path.
He searched for where he came from and didn't worry about finding the wrong person at all.
The composition of the Ming army is complex, but they all have uniform military uniforms. When the torch is illuminated, the people on the ground panting and moaning are our own people. Someone will take them away immediately. If they are not our own people, they can just make up for it with a casual knife. And the Xu family's troops have actually been
As a native of Luzon, how to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy is an extremely simple matter.
"There is no movement over there, Commander Qian. Could it be that the fleet didn't see the signal we sent?" Xu Qianqian looked tired and walked out of the firelight, towards the man sitting outside the gate of the "Governor's Mansion"
Go, that person is also Qianhu, Mu Qianhu has already told her.
"Master Qian has your own considerations, Master Qian!" Yan Jiu glanced sideways at her, somewhat dissatisfied.
"I'm just asking!" Xu Qianqian was choked, but she didn't worry: "Yes, it's still dark, so Commander Qian should be more cautious!"
"Where is Mu Qianhu?" Yan Jiu looked at the woman, "Why didn't you see her?"
"Mu Qianhu is chasing those defeated soldiers. I can't stop her!" Xu Qianqian smiled helplessly. Seeing Yan Jiu's unhappy face, she added: "Originally, I also sent people to protect Mu Qian.
However, Mu Qianhu’s footsteps were too fast and our people lost track of him, so I’ll send someone to look for him now!”
"No need, gather your people and be careful. I don't know that there are so many people hiding on this small dock. We have to guard against them coming back!"
"It's already being done!" Xu Qianqian combed her hair: "Yan Qianhu, it seems you are not worried about Mu Qianhu at all?"
Yan Jiu looked at him, stood up, left her behind, and walked towards his people. Xu Qianqian was slightly stunned as she watched him leave.
What are you worried about, Siniang or those monkey soldiers? Yan Jiu sneered inwardly, turned around and saw the wounded being carried over, and suddenly became irritated.
When he came ashore, he killed almost thirty people and injured fifty or sixty. Although the battle on the shore finally dispersed these guys, this victory was really a bit bitter.
There were more than a hundred injured soldiers in front of me. Although the number of soldiers killed in the battle was not calculated, I'm afraid it would not be lower than this number.
He felt pain in his heart. If he knew that there were so many enemies hiding in this poor place, even if many people from the Xu family were accidentally injured, he should have used the ship's artillery to blast him in this poor place.
Yes, even if it is against the orders of the adults, it is still better than losing so many people at once!
After all, there is no medicine for regret in this world. If you know that you have lost so many people, I am afraid you will regret that you protected these Luzon Ming people.
For this reason, Yan Jiu naturally wouldn't look good on Xu Qianqian. If it weren't for these rabble, if these rabble hadn't encouraged Si Niang to send out a signal in the middle of the night, in broad daylight, with the support of the fleet, how could he have done it?
We can't lose such a big loss. These men of his are not just a bunch of ragtag people who were just recruited. They were trained by him every day on the ship, and they are already comparable to the elites of Tamsui. They were lost here in a daze. His
The mood can be imagined.
After receiving his cold treatment, Xu Qianqian naturally stopped chasing after him and sent a mature and steady man to maintain contact with the Ming army. When Yan Jiu turned around, she could no longer be seen.
.
Dawn finally arrived shyly.
When he could see the shadow of the ship on the sea, Yan Jiu decisively sent a hundred men under him to report the victory to Qian Wubing. In the middle of the night, the fleet saw his signal and was indifferent. Now that it was dawn, it was time to take action!
The Baihu sent there quickly came around, but the news he brought back made Yan Jiu not quite believe his ears.
"My subordinates were unable to board the ship. The little princess directly gave an order on behalf of your lord, asking us to stay at this pier for the time being. If we can hold the pier, we can hold it. If we can't hold it, we can follow the Xu family.
People, temporarily evacuate to the mountains and forests!"
At first reaction, Yan Jiu suspected that this was not Qian Wubing's order. If so, wouldn't the nearly two hundred brothers who were killed or injured last night have died in vain? What do you mean, if you can't hold on, just retreat to the mountains and forests?
We have our own fleet on the sea behind us. What a big deal it is to follow those people into the woods!
"Did the little princess give the order? Who else was around her when she gave the order?" He frowned and asked.
"Uncle Wang and Mr. Tang are also behind the little princess!" The hundred households seemed a little strange. The master's orders were issued by the little princess. Isn't this a normal thing? Everyone knows that the master and the little princess are the same.
Get back to things.
"Didn't you see your lord?"
"No!"
"You haven't seen any other officers from our Imperial Guard?"
"I don't think I saw it, Qianhu. The flagship is too high, and there aren't many places where my subordinates can see..."
"This thing is a bit weird!" Yan Jiu shook his head: "In ordinary matters, the little princess acts on behalf of the adults, and I won't say anything. However, this is a war, and the war is dangerous. No matter how noble the status of the little princess is,
She is just a woman, and she has no official position in my Jinyiwei, so how could she give such ridiculous orders to my Jinyiwei!"
"No, I have to get on the boat to see the adults!" He made up his mind and stood up.
"Qianhu..." The Baihu hesitated for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Should we wait for Mu Qianhu to come back before we get on the boat? Otherwise, as soon as the master leaves, Mu Qianhu hasn't come back yet, and hundreds of us
Brother Hao is left on the shore. Not to mention whether those Luzon Ming people have any bad intentions for us, but if those local monkey soldiers come and kill us again, we will be leaderless!"
