The sudden sound of gunshots and shouts of death woke up the city gate of Relanja City.
The sneak attack turned into a violent attack.
I have to admit that Second Lieutenant Jeremy is a conscientious officer. As long as he has any slack, the city gate will be opened now.
But such a thing did not happen.
Zhao Guangyi and his brothers also fell into a tough fight because of Jeremy's vigilance.
Although the Hongyi soldiers guarding the city gate were small in number, tired, and rushed into battle, they still showed good qualities despite so many unfavorable factors.
They quickly organized a defense and tried their best to block the enemy's attack.
The biggest disadvantage of the night raiders is that they only have short blades in their hands. Xie Tian and Chen Dong also thought of a way, but the Hongyi were too vigilant about this, and there was no way to transport larger weapons to Relanja City.
.
Guarding the city gate were twelve Hongyi soldiers. They lined up in three rows and shot separately. This killing tactic was extremely fatal for the night raiders with only twenty people.
A brother who rushed in front fell in a pool of blood during the first round of shooting by Hongyi.
"Spread out and charge!" Zhao Guangyi's eyes were red and he was the first to pull out his short blade and charge forward.
Once the nineteen sneak attackers dispersed, Hong Yi suddenly lost his shooting target. Although the musket used by Hong Yi was very powerful, its shooting accuracy was very poor and its loading was slow. Although the second and third rounds of shooting were fired again,
Two Night Raiders were knocked down, but the terrible reloading speed meant that the shooter in the first round had just finished loading, and before he had time to shoot, the Night Raiders had already advanced more than ten steps.
This is a distance that can determine victory or defeat.
"Brothers, kill Hongyi!"
Following Zhao Guangyi's roar, the roar of "Kill Hongyi" resounded through the city gate.
Seventeen night raiders braved the enemy's guns and rushed forward!
Amidst the roar of "boom, boom" muskets, the two brothers beside Zhao Guangyi fell, but they finally rushed forward with all their strength.
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed, but he staggered and almost fell down.
He could feel that he was injured, and it was very serious. Damn Hongyi shot him. But at this time, he could not fall down no matter what.
He gritted his teeth and yelled with all his strength:
"Kill Hongyi!"
...
"Kill Hongyi!"
At almost the same moment, Chen Dong's roar also sounded from the direction of the tower.
Regardless of the impact of life and death, he finally rushed forward after paying the lives of six brothers.
At this time, Jeremy still didn't panic too much. He knew that the time had come to decide the outcome. If he persisted, reinforcements would arrive soon.
He drew his sword and loudly encouraged his men to attack the night attackers.
In close combat, the brave one wins!
...
"Sir, there are loud killing sounds from the city tower, and Chen Dong has already taken action!"
"Okay!" Ding Yunyi said loudly: "Brothers, whoever goes to the tower first will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins!"
The first wave of attackers was a team of one hundred prisoners led by Xiao Yifeng.
Countless drills at Fenggui City Fortress in Penghu finally came in handy at this time.
Flying claws, scratching hooks, and siege ladders appeared one after another, and the one hundred prisoners, yelling and screaming, climbed up to the tower of Relanja City with all their might.
The one who climbed the hardest and was most desperate was Wang Wei.
He only had one set of the most plain and simple thoughts in his mind:
I want to be a general, and I want to tell that bitch that she has the wrong person!
Second Lieutenant Jeremy, who was on the tower, still did not panic even when faced with attacks from two sides. While using a small number of soldiers to block the attack from behind, he personally led the main force to guard the tower.
One of the flying claws was cut off, and the soldiers who had climbed halfway fell down screaming, but the newcomers immediately climbed more bravely towards the city of Relanja.
The cannon on the tower also began to roar, and a cannonball fell into the attackers' team, instantly destroying them all.
Ding Yunyi watched all this calmly, completely ignoring the threat of artillery fire from the city of Relanja. No one or force could shake his determination to capture the city of Relanja...
...
Red Yi battleship "Hocktok".
When the battle to attack the city of Relanje began, Captain Franz, the captain of the "Hocktok", was also awakened. His first reaction was that the city of Relanje was attacked by the enemy.
Although Captain Franz was surprised, he was not too panicked. Last time, the powerful pirate Liu Xiang also carried out a sneak attack on the city of Relancia, but he was also under fire from the city of Relancia and the battleships on the sea.
The download failed.
He judged that this was also a sneak attack by pirates.
The great pirate Liu Xiang had failed, and this time it was just some little pirates who didn't know the importance.
The Hocktok opened fire.
The artillery fire from the sea soon posed a great threat to the attackers.
Ding Yunyi used almost all his strength on the frontal attack on Relanzhe City. It seemed that he was not preparing for a naval battle with the Hongyi battleship, but in fact, all this had been predicted by Ding Yunyi.
According to the information provided by Xie Tian, once the city of Relanja was attacked, the first ship that could provide support to the defenders would be the "Hocktok".
Ding Yunyi handed over the task of dealing with the "Hocktok" to a group of people who, at least on the surface, seemed unreliable:
The Six Pirates of the Pirate Alliance!
If it were a face-to-face battle during the day, the combined strength of the six pirates would not be a match for the "Hocktok", but now it was night, which gave this group of pirates the best opportunity to perform.
Fifteen small boats were lined up in a row, with two people in each boat, and they were piled with fire starters.
This is the most famous "fire ship tactic" of the Ming Navy.
It looks simple and violent, but it is effective.
Using the darkness as cover, Taiwan's offensive and defensive battles completely attracted the attention of the "Hocktok". Fifteen fireships, under the personal leadership of six pirates including Hai Nixiong, rowed quietly.
To the "Hocktok".
There was no sound at all on the fireboat, everyone was rowing hard.
Getting closer and closer to the "Hocktok", at this time, the sea mud bear lit the fire starter on the fire ship, and then he and his companions disembarked from the ship and dived into the sea.
Fifteen fire boats were all set on fire, and the people on board got into the sea water, and then watched happily as the lit boats rushed towards the "Hocktok" quickly.
Fair wind!
"Captain, look, what is that!"
The sea was dotted with stars, and Captain Fritz was stunned.
God, the fireship, is a terrible fireship!
In the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, the Hongyi fleet was defeated by the Ming Dynasty's fireship tactics, and now, this scene happened again.
However, it was too late to take precautions at this time.
