In the afternoon, an hour after the Thor stopped shelling, the "machi fire fighter" responsible for putting out the fire, led by several people, hurried to the port and started putting out the fire.
On one side, they were busy putting out the fire. On the other side, two official negotiators took a small sampan to the Thor and asked to board the ship for negotiations.
Soon, when the two men saw the two huge guns bombarding the port on the deck, the slender barrels, wide breech and huge gun mounts made them secretly shocked. They did not expect such a thin muzzle.
It's actually so powerful.
When they saw Zhao Xin, an official asked angrily: "What do you mean by shelling our territory for no reason?!"
Zhao Xin looked at the warrior as if he were a fool.
"Don't you have any nutritional issues?"
The two officials were stunned for a moment, and were about to ask what "nutrition" meant, but then they thought that even if the other party was proficient in the native language, they were still a group of barbarians. So they decided to ignore it and continued to ask: "You have committed such atrocities.
, shouldn’t we be ashamed?”
After Zhao Xin heard this, he looked at the two of them with an even stranger expression, looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly.
"It turns out that your country has a long history of being able to knock people out of their way!"
The two negotiators turned blue at the other party's confusing words and loud laughter.
Zhao Xin gradually stopped laughing and said slowly: "Stop talking about useless nonsense. You know what you have done."
The two envoys continued to pretend to be stupid. They must not admit that they were preparing to sneak attack others before the bombardment.
"Your Excellency, are you referring to that incident fifty-eight years ago? That was done by Ogi Fan. What does it have to do with us?!"
Zhao Xin picked his ears with his fingers indifferently and said: "Did I hear you right? You mean that the Maori family is not under the control of the general?"
"What conditions do you require to withdraw?"
"In a word, pay for it. One hundred thousand taels of gold. After paying the money, I will immediately go to the Maori family to settle the account."
"You! Difan is also our territory!"
"Oh, what you said makes sense. Then do you think I should go to Edo to find your general?"
When the two of them heard what Zhao Xin said, they were trembling with anger. If these barbarians went to Edo, it would completely shock the world. No matter how many heads they have, they are not enough to chop off the shogun.
They originally wanted to say that they would rather die in battle than pay compensation, but thinking of the terrifying power of the opponent's artillery and the threat of bombarding Edo, they could only hold back their breath.
Zhao Xin sneered at the two Nagasaki envoys and said: "Go back and tell the acting official that if he dares to play any tricks again, we will bombard the prison. Not to mention doubling the compensation by then, I still have to go.
Let’s talk to General Tokugawa in Edo.”
The two negotiators were so excited by Zhao Xin's teasing tone that they said, "Please allow us to go back and explain your terms, and we will make a reply tomorrow." After saying that, they hurriedly left and disembarked.
Looking at the sampan going away, Liu Sheng and others asked Zhao Xin: "Will they agree?"
Zhao Xin shook his head, nodded again, and said with a smile: "I won't cry until I see the coffin."
From the busy work in the second half of the night to now, everyone on the Thor is very tired. Not to mention Zhao Xin and others who are part-time artillerymen; the dozens of people led by Hu Ji have also been staring at the deck all day with their eyes wide open, always on guard.
The garrison of Saki attacked.
After the negotiators left, Ding Guofeng and Zhao Liang suggested that Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and some of the crew members go to rest first. The two of them led a dozen soldiers with guns to guard the deck, and asked Zhao Xin to replace them after dark.
At this time, in Nagasaki Port, there were large pieces of shipwrecks floating on the sea, rising and falling with the waves; the town fire department had left after finishing fighting the fire, and not even a single person could be seen on the pier; originally hidden in the new Jizo and the north warehouse
The two men and horses inside had long since escaped; but inside the barracks of Chongliangbansuo, which had been shelled, fires were still burning.
Zhao Xin got up at dusk. He couldn't sleep well because he had too many things on his mind. After taking a cold shower, he drank two cups of strong coffee, and then he felt more awake. He was about to go to the kitchen to look for it.
Stuttering, I heard a gunshot "Bang!" outside.
"I'm going!" Zhao Xin was excited. This was the sound of a lever rifle shooting. He didn't have time to think about it, grabbed the gun and rushed outside.
At this time, the firing of lever rifles on the deck began continuously, and islanders holding long knives and wearing only a loincloth fell from the side of the ship into the sea.
"What's going on?!" Zhao Xin rushed out of the ship building, raised his gun and fired three shots at an islander who had just climbed over the ship's railing.
No one answered, and everyone on duty on the deck was shooting desperately.
After Zhao Xin knocked down an islander with one shot, he turned around and saw Pingtai and others shooting towards the right side of the ship.
Zhao Xin quickly shouted to Mrs. Ping: "Pay attention to the bullets! Remember to reload!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he caught a glimpse of fire out of the corner of his eye. When he turned around, Zhao Xin's eyes suddenly widened. More than ten meters away, an island soldier was sitting astride the railing of the ship, holding a big black weapon in one hand.
The clay pot, the fire break in the other hand has been placed on a rope outside the clay pot.
"Bake the fire arrow!"
Zhao Xin raised his gun and fired continuously without hesitation. The soldier was shot several times, and then he leaned back, and the Bailao fire arrow in his hand also fell under the boat.
With a "Boom!", a burst of flames suddenly burst out from under the boat, and screams suddenly sounded.
At this time, someone not far away from the boat was heard shouting "Shoot!"
"Wow!" After countless bowstrings sounded, a rain of fire suddenly rose from the sea and fell towards the deck of the Thor.
"Hurry and take cover!"
Pingtai and others held their heads and ran towards the ship building, but Zhao Xin was too late to run back at this time; he held the gun and threw himself forward desperately, hiding under the D30.
The crackling fireballs hit the deck like raindrops. A sailor with a gun groaned and fell to the deck with several arrows in his body.
Zhao Xin's eyes immediately turned red when he saw it. He, Liu Sheng and others had finally trained a dozen people who could use lever rifles, but in the blink of an eye, none of them were gone.
"Knock them down!" Zhao Xin stood up and shouted. He pointed at Pingtai and the others: "You all go to the right, and the rest go to the left. Fight them back!"
After calming down, Zhao Xin finally saw Ding Guofeng. He was hiding behind a cargo hold cover on the deck, shooting at both sides.
Suddenly, there was a continuous shooting sound above his head. Zhao Xin looked up and saw that it was Liu Sheng or Deng Fei who was lying on the compass deck and shooting at the island soldiers climbing up around him.
With the addition of machine guns, no more island soldiers climbed up on the deck. Zhao Xin shouted to Ding Guofeng: "Go to the left, machine gun!"
Zhao Xin then crouched and quickly ran to the machine gun position on the right, and looked out. Oh my goodness! There were dozens of small morning boats parked on the sea below the Thor, and the island soldiers on the boats were as dense as ants.
Due to the explosion of the previous fire arrow, a small boat was burning. Some soldiers on the boat were using long guns or bamboo shoots to push the burning boat away.
A dozen morning boats on the periphery were approaching at this time, and some soldiers held grappling hooks in their hands, preparing to throw them up after approaching.
Zhao Xin didn't have time to think too much, he raised his gun and started shooting at the island soldiers holding grappling hooks.
Bloody flowers emerged from the small morning boat, and screams for help could not be heard.
Zhao Xin emptied the magazine, quickly replaced it with a new one, then stood up, uncovered the M2HB rifle jacket next to him, and pulled the bolt twice hard.
"Boom boom..."
With Zhao Xin and Ding Guofeng in place, the M2HBs on both sides of the Thor finally roared, and two tongues of flame spurted out from the deck, shooting towards the early boats on the sea.
Waves of water splashed from the sea, and dozens of warriors and soldiers were beaten like exploding flames with the roar of bullets. Their flesh, flesh, and stumps were flying everywhere, and the sea suddenly became a hell of blood and fire.
Seeing the continuous musket fire on the big ship, the soldiers on the morning boat squatted behind the rafters on both sides of the boat, trying to use the rafters to resist the musket bullets. Some people couldn't help but shoot with bows and arrows or muskets.
Ping-pong-pong lead bullets and arrows hit the MK93 bulletproof shield, splashing sparks. Zhao Xin then turned the muzzle of the gun to these bamboo and wooden rafters and began to fire.
When the black-red armor-piercing incendiary warhead initially hit these pillar boards, it did not ignite the fire. The straight trajectory left a bullet hole as thick as a thumb in the pillar boards, and the soldiers behind the pillar boards rang out.
Screaming, a soldier was so frightened that he lay on the boat and screamed, covering his head.
As bullets continued to hit the ship, the flames gradually rose up, and then turned into a large fire. After the bottom plates of some ships were opened by bullets, sea water quickly poured in; and the panicked soldiers had no time to block it.
, and fell into a pool of blood one after another.
A samurai stood on the bow of the ship, raised his sword and shouted for attack. Several bullets swept through him, and he was immediately beaten into a ball of minced meat.
"Run away!" The few surviving island soldiers shouted and jumped into the sea and swam desperately to the shore.
On the coast not far away, more than two hundred musketeers and hundreds of archers were too far away. They could only watch the early boats sinking in the fire, crying bitterly.
The box of bullets assembled for the first machine gun had been finished. Zhao Xin threw it away, immediately turned around and ran towards the other M2HB, uncovered the gun jacket, pulled the bolt, and continued shooting.
The sea was full of soldiers screaming desperately and swimming to escape. At this time, no one wanted to continue the attack.
Zhao Xin blindly clicked the trigger. At this time, there was only one question in his mind, where did these guys come from?
Finally, when he pointed his gun at the island soldiers on the shore, he saw the almond leaf pattern painted on a large flag.
"Is this the Nabeshima family?" Zhao Xin stopped shooting and shouted in surprise.
He didn't know that this afternoon, 10,000 troops from the Saga Domain had arrived in Nagasaki!
This time, all the troops of the Saga Domain were mobilized, led by the head of the family, Nabeshima Harushige. They had to go all out, and the bad thing about the lack of troops in the second battle was finally exposed; the Saga Domain could not explain to Edo.
We can only mobilize all the people in the territory. Fortunately, we finally caught up.
Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, Toda Clan, who had no retreat, finally decided to give it a go and fight to the death, vowing to drive away the foreign ships. Only in this way could he retain his fiefdom after his death.
