Napoleon, seeing that his fleet had not only returned intact, but had also risen a rank, really suspected that he was dreaming. I pinched my arm several times before I realized that it was true.

But he still couldn't get around the bend for a while, and stood on his flagship in a daze. Mai Ke ignored him and beckoned Wen Fu to command the fleet to send the French troops back to their original ships.

It was not until all this was done that he patted Napoleon on the shoulder and said, "Brother, go! There is no wonder, the Bible says, 'With man and God nothing'. If you think about it from this perspective, you won't feel incredible. ”

Isn't this the work of God when Napoleon woke up from a dream? No wonder he was always unable to figure it out, because he had never been able to get out of the frame of man.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the prospect was bright and limitless. Immediately in high spirits, the order to set sail was given. The standard-bearer, who was in charge of delivering the order, looked at his commander and felt that he had already decided to be two.

Back to the Vung Tau base, Mai Ke had already explained to him before this. Mai Ke did not rush back and join the land army, but walked with Napoleon.

Napoleon stood in the wind, and only after a gust of sea breeze did he calm down. Then he said two things to Mai Ke.

The first thing, the marines who went deep into Jiading were not under his jurisdiction. The leader of the troops was a more radical young officer named Versailles, who was not expected to give up resistance lightly.

The second thing, the naval base to which they are going to return is near the mouth of the sea in Vung Tau. Close to the beach. The beach is gentle and long, and is known to the locals as the Ten Mile Beach.

Originally, the area was inhabited by fishermen, but after the arrival of the French army, a port and land facilities were built, which attracted many locals from the vicinity to gather here.

Due to the different customs, the language barrier, and the arrogance of the French army towards people as an occupier, the relationship between the French army and the locals became increasingly strained.

Even the local authorities were opposed to the French army, as they increasingly saw that these people were motivated by a long-term occupation.

On the eve of their battle against the Wenfu fleet this time, they received information. The local population was going to besiege the French barracks there. and a residential area adjacent to the barracks.

According to Napoleon's plan, he did his best to deal with the threat at sea with a quick victory, and then concentrated on dealing with the troublemakers of the mob.

In order to concentrate forces. He left only 300 soldiers to guard the camp. Defend your homeland. For a short period of time. With good weapons and strong fortifications, there is not much of a problem. However, this time it was obviously a little longer. Especially the time taken by capture and surrender.

At that time, I didn't know whether I was alive or dead, and I didn't care about anything else, but now that the question of life and death no longer exists, I worry about my wife and daughter!

When Mai Ke heard this, he was also anxious, those thugs could do anything. So, without going through the reply, he shouted: "All of them! Full speed ahead!"

There was a huge roar, and all the ships forcibly increased their speed, and in an instant, they increased from thirteen knots to fifteen knots.

Seeing that there was still some distance, Mai Ke shouted again: "Detachment!"

Soon, Wenfu's eight large ships, Napoleon's four large ships, and other ironclad ships separated and formed a team of their own, and increased their speed again, directly reaching seventeen knots.

The maximum design speed of this large ship is 17 knots, and now that the situation is urgent, Mai Ke immediately made a decision and ordered all ships to move at the limit speed.

At this time, thick smoke can be seen billowing from the vicinity of Vung Tau Pier.

Seeing Napoleon's anxious look, Mai Ke said, "I'll go over and have a look first!"

With that, he stomped his foot and flew into the air with a whoosh.

Napoleon was taken aback, but at the same time alleviated his worries, hoping that Mai Ke would be able to help his subordinates and relatives.

Mai Ke soon flew to the sky above Vung Tau Wharf, and saw that the ten-mile long beach was full of people, both on the shore and on the wharf were covered by crowds, and they were still bustling, surging towards the northeast corner.

In the northeast corner, you can see a three-storey white building, surrounded by walls, where is the center of the crowd, there are crowds of people in front and back, left and right, wearing earthy yellow clothes, and the white building forms a clear color contrast, like a white boat wrapped in the monstrous turbidity waves.

To make matters worse, the small building is built against a hill, and the top of the hill is just above the roof, which is covered with various tropical trees. I don't know if it was negligence or poor defense, the top of the hill has been occupied by these yellow people, and it is also full of yellow-brown.

Moreover, these thugs who occupy the top of the hill also jump down from the top of the hill from time to time in an attempt to capture the top floor and force the defenders to distract themselves from dealing with them.

Mai Ke made a rough estimate, there are too many people, at least no less than 100,000!

He was watching, and suddenly heard a loud shout at the main gate of the wall, and hurriedly shifted his gaze to look, only to see that there seemed to be a gap opened by the attackers, and both the attackers and defenders were concentrating there!

Mai Ke didn't dare to slack off, a rush, flew to the sky above the small building, and found that a section of the wall on the east side of the south gate had collapsed, and the yellow-brown crowd swarmed up.

And at close range, the attackers are armed with bows and crossbows, and the lethality is also very strong, and those soldiers who block are constantly falling with arrows.

Seeing that it was about to be defeated, Mai Ke fell from the sky, operating with both hands at the same time, and the spiritual bead was like a gust of wind, sweeping towards those engineers.

The forty or fifty thugs who rushed to the front fell in response, interrupting their attack. Then Mai Ke landed here, implementing the tactics of slotting, and as long as he came up to the crowd behind, it was a round of hidden weapon greetings, and soon there was a human wall.

The soldiers of the French defense were also ruthless, and seeing that the enemy had no follow-up power, they killed the thugs who had rushed in, and then the muskets bombarded them, and immediately knocked them all to the ground. Many people also took out their waist knives and went up to make up for them a few more times, which shows that the grievances between these people are very deep.

After solving the enemy who entered the wall, these defending soldiers came up, greeted Mai Ke, and took his place to defend, Mai Ke freed his hand and operated the spirit rhino to repair the collapsed wall, and it was stronger.

This is the opportunity to greet the defenders. The officer in charge of the defense also hurried over at this time. Mai Ke told them that he had been asked by Napoleon to help, and that the army would soon return, and asked everyone to hold on.

The other soldiers also told the defending officer how Mai Ke had helped to keep the place alive at the last minute. The officer was also refreshed, and immediately thanked Mai Ke.

Mai Ke didn't have time to say much, and immediately flew to other directions to inspect, and it was inevitable that there would be the same crisis here elsewhere. (To be continued......)
