At dawn, many people were saying goodbye in tears in Penang Castle, and those who were carrying simple salutes were all strong young men and women, and most of those who were saying goodbye were a little older and injured.

"Second brother, when you see the young patriarch, you must let him avenge us!"

"Son! When you go to Tianzhu, you must live well, if you can't marry a Tang person, you can marry a Tianzhu woman, you must have a son, and continue our family's incense! ”

Gu Lihuan looked at all this, his heart hurt like a knife, these people should have been the main force in the South Seas, according to Ye Kai's plan, they would all become people in the land of Pattani.

But now, they are all going to die without bones on this island thousands of miles away from home!

"Brother Gu, the Bugis people are here! Come on! Gu Lihuan, who was at the base of the city wall, heard a shout, and ran up to the city in three steps and two steps.

Today's Penang Castle is a rudimentary Chinese castle made of stone and logs, only a little more than a foot high, and the defense effect is not very good, and the first few times the Bugis came to attack, they were repelled by flintlock pistols.

And this time, the Bugis people have been surrounded for more than ten days, and there is not much gunpowder and lead bullet, and once the time is exhausted, it must be the day when the Penang castle is breached.

"Brother Gu! Zhenwu! It's me! I'm Xiuwu! In the mist, Bugis warriors who liked to wear bells and whistles, armed with Malayklux swords, walked behind, and in front of them were a dozen people dressed in Tang clothes, like walking corpses.

"Brother Xiuwu? Is it really you? How did you come here? What about North Lyrwiburg? Ye Zhenwu on the simple city wall was shocked, this three-room eldest brother Ye Xiuwu has always been on the mainland, and should not appear on Penang Island, is it?

North-Lyriad Fort is a stronghold built by Koo Lihuan and them on the mainland, a large Hakka Dock Fort slightly smaller than the Penang Fort, which is specially used to hoard grain, facilitate nearby cultivation and transportation to the Pattani Ye family clan.

Because North Rhistine-Fort is a castle built on the territory of the Sultanate of Jeddah with the tacit approval of the Sultan of Jeddah, North Fallen-Strongholders have always been in a relatively safe position when the Bugis besieged Penang several times, after all, the relationship between the Sultan of Jeddah and the Bugis Haji Raja and Ibrahim Raja is not good.

"The Sultan of Jeddah ... That bastard of the Sultan of Jeddah has turned his face, he negotiated a price with the Bugis and sold us!

Zhenwu, you hurry up, how much can you go, the Bugis have begun to besiege the island. Ye Xiuwu's tears came out at once, and he howled and shouted to the castle.

On the city wall, everyone's expressions began to become desperate, and Ye Xiuwu's words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to everyone in Penang Castle.

Although they were besieged on Penang Island and the life of the Pattani Yip family clan was not easy, they still held on to a little hope, hoping that the sect would send someone to fight off the Bugis and rescue them.

And now, the Sultan of Jeddah has turned his face, and the land passage between Penang Island and Pattani is gone, and they can be said to be certain to die!

"We must go now, Gu, my friend, if you really don't want to leave, then I can only wish you good luck!"

Francis. Wright said something hurriedly, and then turned around and walked towards the small port behind the castle, although his brig was much more powerful than the Bugis' boat, but he couldn't wait any longer, the Bugis ships were small, but there were many of them, and if they were entangled, it would be troublesome!

"Captain, look over there! Looks like there's a ship coming over there! As Captain Wright was anxiously walking towards his armed merchant ship, a water finger following him pointed to the distant sea and exclaimed loudly.

Francis. Wright hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, and this sight only scared him all over!

In the telescope, on the gray sea, on a three-masted fast battleship, a blue background gold sun and moon flag is flying high, behind this three-masted fast battleship, a more battleship is looming, judging from the giant sails raised, this is likely to be a third-class battleship!

Run! This is Francis. The only word that came to Wright's mind was that in this South Sea, except for the Dutch in Batavia, no other force had this kind of unusually powerful three-stage battleship in the South Seas!

。。。。

Ye Kai stood at the bow of the Deep Sea Shark, the so-called return to the heart like an arrow, he ignored the ill-intentioned invitation of the governor of France, and also rejected Warren. Hastings' request to him to go to Calcutta.

He chose to simply replenish fresh water and food in the breached Mysore castle, and then left for Patta without stopping at Kolkata and heading straight to Patta!

"Your Excellency Commander, the frigate Warrior King and the cruiser Interceptor in front are flying at the same time, and a large number of old-fashioned hard galleons have been found in the sea area opposite, and there seems to be a small castle on the island ahead, and there are signs of fighting!"

Ye Kai looked up at Jean who was trotting all the way. Wilson.

"Jean, where are we now?"

"In terms of location, this should be known locally as the vicinity of Penang, but according to the local seafarers we employ, there should be no talent on Penang!"

Penang? Isn't this the Penang of the future? In the city of Chinese in later generations, not only Chinese bigwigs like Gu Lihuan were born, but also Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others settled here during the National Revolution.

The famous Huanghuagang Uprising was instigated in Penang, and several of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang were overseas Chinese in Penang, Ye Kai frowned, could it be that the Ye family had expanded their power to this side? Isn't that a bit too fast?

"Stay in combat mode, I order the Interceptor to raise the rice flag and go to investigate!" During the more than eight months of sea voyage from Le Havre to Nanyang, Ye Kai was not idle, he was originally in the navy in his later life, and he also served as a coast guard for a period of time. Wilson's little knowledge is running out!

Now he has a basic understanding of the style of naval warfare in this era. can already be regarded as a good 'Zhao Kuo', only a little actual combat experience, but he is only limited to commanding operations, you let him sail and fire, that's still not good!

"The three-masted fast battleship on the opposite side raised the rice flag, Mr. Major, are the English going to shoot directly? Are we going to intercept them? ”

Ahmad Sarajah, the commander of the Bugis, stood on a Chinese sailing ship with a displacement of more than 400 tons with a relaxed expression, and he looked at the military adviser next to him, Dutch Army Major Anderson asked.

This Chinese steepleon, known to Europeans as the Junk Boat, is actually a Steeple-bottomed Fortune Boat, an armed ship with 25 9 to 12-pounder guns on its deck, which was a gift from the Dutch in Batavia to the new Sultan of Johor, Ibrahim.

It was originally a warship of the great pirate Mo Guanfu, but after being captured by the Dutch, it has been used as a merchant ship, and after a successful reconciliation with the Buggis, the Dutch reloaded it with cannons and gave it to the Bugis.

Now this battleship, which is known as the 1,500 material Daifuku ship according to Chinese custom, is the most powerful warship in the vicinity of Manraka except for the Dutch navy.

"Interception?" Lieutenant Colonel Anderson shook his head, these stupid Celestials, who do they think they are?

If the English were so good at intercepting, then their Dutch navy would not have been pressed to the ground by the English navy during the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War!

"It can't be intercepted, Raja, this is a very advanced three-masted fast warship, usually equipped with more than thirty guns, and the main gun is up to 18 pounds, and the speed is very fast.

What's more, the one in the back, which should be an even more powerful 74-gun type three-rank battleship, damn the English, what do they want to do? Actually drove a third-class battleship here! ”
