Chapter 541: Shelling
She said: "You go and ask Shigeaki Mine to come on the boat, if he is willing, forget it, and refuse to fire directly." ”
Zhang Da did not advocate that adults be in danger, so when he heard the rumors, he took people to the island again.
The negotiation seemed to have been successful, and it wasn't long before Shigemi Inoshito got into their boat.
Guo Wenying raised his eyebrows, he actually came alone, he was a little bold.
The soft ladder was thrown down on the big boat, and Zhang Da climbed up first, followed by Chongming underground. His injuries that day should not have been too serious, and he was covered with bandages on his head and shoulders.
Seeing Guo Wenying, the corners of Inoshita's mouth smiled slightly, "Miss Guo, I really underestimated you before, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly." ”
Guo Wenying said: "Ming people don't say dark words, since the Lord Underground is willing to come, I will also be happy and withdraw from Shuangyu Island." After all, this Shuangyu Island is Han Chinese, and if he still wants to do business in the future, he will also leave a way for you, otherwise it will be a dead end. ”
Shigeaki Inoshita smiled, "The eldest lady is really thinking about us, but Braun will operate the territory that has been laid for many years, how can you say that you will lose it?"
"What's the matter? Underground-sama is still going to bargain and ask for conditions?"
She said in a loud voice, "Come on, prepare to fire." ”
Jing Xia said in his heart, this little girl is really difficult to deal with, and she is really a bit official when she wears an official uniform.
He said: "We have something to discuss, so why bother to be rude." As he spoke, he suddenly leaned over and grabbed Guo Wenying.
He had so many bandages tied on his body, thinking that he was seriously injured, no one was too wary of him, Guo Wenying dodged short, let go over his shoulders, but his hair was grabbed by him.
Guo Wenying frowned in pain, "Downhole, what are you doing?"
Lu Weixin shouted on the side: "What are you going to do?"
Jing Xia grabbed her hair: "It's nothing, your warship withdrew a hundred miles from Shuangyu Island, and I will let her go." ”
Lu Weixin said: "You let her go." ”
Guo Wenying squeezed his eyes, Lu Weixin immediately understood, took out the dagger and threw it over,
Guo Wenying stretched out her hand to catch it, waved her hand back, and cut her hair open, and suddenly the hair flew in the air and scattered in the air.
The well was stunned for a moment, hair is very important to women, and in the blink of an eye, she gave up her hair, which is really ruthless.
When Lu Weixin saw Guo Wenying, he had already pounced, and he was about to run downhole, but he stopped him, and the two were entangled and fought.
At this moment, suddenly several cannons rang out outside, "Enemy ship shelling!" A hoarse shout from the mast.
All the sailors on the deck responded to the short body, and more than two dozen black iron balls roared.
"Braun will be really cunning!" Zhang Da scolded. The other side used expensive flowering shells, and the Xinying was hit by four bullets, and six or seven people lay on the deck.
Zhang Da ran in, "My lord, Shuangyu Island has attacked the ship." ”
Guo Wenying froze and shouted: "Come on, set off the cannon." ”
Zhang Da immediately jumped onto the gangside and shouted: "Flying Fire Dragon, hurry up and ignite!"
With the order, a series of artillery sounds rang out, and dozens of artillery pieces bombarded Shuangyu Island. With the sound of the cannon, the earth was shaken, and the well hurriedly ran out, Lu Weixin wanted to chase, Guo Wenying said: "No need to chase, he can't run, let him see with his own eyes how Shuangyu Island was destroyed." ”
The gunloaders removed the brackets of the gun window covers, and there was a slight vibration in the hull of the ship, as if the shells had been hit again.
"Shotgun, fire!" With the call, the fire rope suddenly sizzled.
The well turned around and ran out, Lu Weixin wanted to chase, but was stopped by Guo Wenying.
"He can't run, just let him run for a while. ”
The madness of the Braun Club did not last long, although the island was armed, but it could not be compared with the sophisticated equipment of the navy, and it did not take long for it to die down.
Waiting for the Braun Society's ship to withdraw from Shuangyu Island, Guo Wenying stepped down from the boat.
It is not bad to be able to keep the island intact, Guo Wenying took people to walk around the island, some places can be ready-made without moving, and more warehouses can be built into a cargo transfer station, and the imperial court collects taxes from it, which is a lot of income for the treasury.
Xu Hai's boat also arrived at Shuangyu Island, and he got off the boat to meet Guo Wenying.
"My lord, what shall we do?"
"Rest on the island for one night and leave the island tomorrow. ”
30,000 sailors, some staying on the island, some staying on ships.
Early the next morning, they left Shuangyu Island by boat, leaving Guo Wenying behind a group of people to watch the island, in case Braun would return.
The weather was bad today, and the sky seemed to suddenly crack, and bean-sized raindrops poured out of it, first crackling and chaotic, and then pouring down in unison.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the boat was moving very slowly, and near Yueming Island, Guo Wenying ordered the fleet to stop.
Xu Hai came over on the side of the boat, "My lord, it's almost time to Yueming Island, what should we do?"
Simply it was raining at this time, and the boat couldn't go, so Guo Wenying convened a meeting of the generals in the army to discuss the attack on the island.
Xu Hai has been to Yueming Island three times, and he is also familiar with this island, so he laid out a map and studied the topography of Yueming Island.
This place is twice as big as Qinghe Island, and there are more fortifications built than Qinghe Island, and it is not easy for them to attack the island when they are on the island.
Guo Wenying consulted with several generals and decided to land on the island from the north side.
At this moment, the rain gradually stopped, and the thunderclouds in front of the starboard side had gradually dispersed, and lightning flashed under the clouds. The sunlight outside the clouds is strong, and some beams pierce the clouds to reach the sea, like black cotton balls inserted into snow-white hostas.
The Wild Goose and the New Ying grazed the edge of the thundercloud. Two sperm whales, one large and one small, spewed water vapor four miles from the bow.
Guo Wenying stood on the deck, looking at the thunderstorm, an extremely vicious blue lightning bolt blossomed in the clouds, rumbling down, scattering countless flashes of light on the sea.
At this moment, several warships suddenly appeared on the sea level in front.
Guo Wenying picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, her heartbeat suddenly shrank, and the flash was roughly a straight line, and the flag hanging on the ship could be faintly seen.
She said coldly, "It's the wolf, ready to fight." ”
Seeing the warship getting closer and closer, the herald shouted: "Artillery, fire!"
The white smoke from the starboard side swept away like a tidal wave.
The sea is foggy, and in fact, there are no shells to be seen. These are solid shells, but they are much more advanced than those pure cast iron shells, it is just a shell made of cast iron, and inside is a core made of brown linen soaked in fire oil, and seven or eight large holes are drilled in the iron shell, and once it is burned, the water will not be extinguished.
Before Xu Hai could return to the Yan Array, he walked up to Guo Wenying: "My lord, how can there be a boat of the Japanese here?"
"Maybe it happened by chance. ”
"Let's get up and fight!"
Guo Wenying saw that it was two four-masted ships, and she called a herald to come over and order: "Broadside." "These widows, they always have to catch a few alive.
