Hengle looked at the messenger with a gloomy face, and said for a long time, "Did he really say that?" ”

"It's true. Lord Ning said that since the Black Rock Island side was not sincere, there was no need to continue the talks. ”

"Damn!"

Hengle clenched his fists, breathing hard to calm himself.

It seems that this Ning Xiu is also a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles.

But in fact, Hengle has already made up his mind, that is, he must take refuge in the Ming Kingdom and kill all these Spaniards who are untrustworthy and covet Blackstone Island.

The reason why he didn't shake out the surprise in the letter was because he wanted to bargain. Who knew that Ning Xiu didn't eat him at all, but instead took him into an army and forced him into a corner.

Hunger was not a man who did not know how to be flexible, he believed in pragmatism, and in his view, as long as he could gain benefits, then it didn't matter if he was servile.

What's more, the current situation is not so bad.

After a moment of thought, Hengle picked up his quill pen and began to write again.

This time, he wrote the letter in one go, and said to his henchman in a serious tone: "You go to see Ning Xiu again right away, and tell him that I promise any form of cooperation." ”

......

......

Xiangshan County.

Ning Xiu put down the letter and said with a slight smile: "Look, these Dutchmen can't hold their breath first. ”

Qi Wen was surprised: "Did they reveal the battle plan of the Spaniards?" ”

"It's more than revealing the Spaniards' battle plan. If this Dutchman is true, I dare say that not a single one of the Spaniards' fleet will leave unharmed. ”

After saying that, Ning Xiu handed the letter to Qi Wen.

Qi Wen is coarse and well-written, and there is no problem with literacy. He couldn't help but take a deep breath after reading the letter.

"The Spaniards are going to capture the island of Wuzhushan?"

Qi Wen had to admit that this was a clever trick.

The new army of the Guangdong Navy Division was basically trained from Wuzhushan Island. Wuzhushan Island is not only an important peripheral stronghold, but also the base of Guangdong sailors.

Breaking through this place has the effect of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.

"But how do they know about Wuzhushan Island?"

Qi Wen couldn't figure out this doubt.

"The Dutch probably haven't been to Wuzhushan Island either."

"It's not Dutch, it's our old friend Li Dan."

Ning Xiu said with a smile: "The Dutch mentioned in the letter that it was this person who suggested attacking Wuzhushan Island. ”

"This guy!"

Qi Wen roared angrily: "You shouldn't have let him go in the first place!" ”

"What's the use of talking about that now? With Li Dan's understanding of Wuzhushan Island, he would definitely be able to help the Spaniards land. ”

Ning Xiu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and Qi Wen said tentatively when he saw this: "My lord, but I have already thought of a way to deal with it?" ”

"Not bad."

Ning Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Since they are coming, we will entertain them well." ”

......

......

"Your Excellency the Governor, there is Wuzhushan Island in front of you."

Li Dan pointed to an island in front of him and said with a little excitement.

I can't imagine that he will be able to return here again in his lifetime.

"Yes."

Sanchez rubbed his palms repeatedly, but never took his eyes off the island in front of him.

It was Li Dan's advice that made Sanchez finally change the battle plan, and the whole army headed towards Wuzhushan Island.

According to Li Dan, Wuzhushan Island is the nest of the Ming army in Guangdong, and ending it here can not only destroy most of the Ming warships, but also make the Ming army lose its only maritime stronghold and have to retreat to defense.

The Spanish army could calmly dispatch and appear at any position along the coast of Guangdong at any time.

"In a moment we can land from the south side of the island, where the terrain is relatively gentle."

Li Dan also knew that Wuzhushan Island was monolithic operated by the Ming army, and there was no weakness in the absolute sense. But since the Spaniards wanted to take the island, they had to pay some price.

"I guess the officers and soldiers will build some pillboxes and some artillery to help defend them. His Excellency the Governor only had to order the gunners to bombard and uproot these pillboxes, and the landing of the army would have no problem. ”

Li Dan's self-confidence is justified. He had never seen a fleet equipped with so many guns. This fleet of the Spaniards, with a dozen guns per ship, could gain the advantage of crushing in naval battles. Often, there is no need for broadside combat, and the opponent can be eliminated by long-range artillery fire alone.

Landing battles can be a little more troublesome, after all, pillboxes are much stronger than hulls.

But Li Dan believes that it is only a matter of time before these bunkers are uprooted.

There is nothing that cannot be solved by heavy artillery, and if one shot does not work, then two shots......

"Hey, the bunkers here don't seem to be manned."

Sanchez put down the binoculars and said to himself.

"Your Excellency the Governor, may you let me take a look?"

Li Dan felt that Sanchez must have seen it wrong, although the south was not the focus of the defense of Wuzhushan Island, it was impossible to be completely undefended.

In Li Dan's impression, Ning Xiu was a person who knew a lot about the art of war, and he had a unique view of defensive warfare, and it was impossible for him to make an undefended arrangement.

"Look at it."

Sanchez handed the telescope casually, Li Dan took it cautiously and squinted one eye to observe.

He slowly moved his binoculars, finally fixing the lens on the conspicuous row of bunkers.

From here, the bunker was empty, and there was really no one.

Li Dan moved the telescope again and found that there were not even many ships in the harbor.

Could it be that the ships are all docked to the north?

"Your Excellency the Governor, it seems that most of the Ming Army's naval divisions have been withdrawn, and now the defense on the island is very weak, and it is a good time to capture this island."

Li Dan thought for a moment and only came up with such a reason.

If it weren't for Ning Xiu's lack of manpower and putting most of his soldiers into the defense of the coastal areas of Guangdong, Li Dan really couldn't think of why such an important Wuzhushan Island would be empty.

"Well, now the Ming army probably thinks that this governor will go to Guangzhou Mansion or Chaozhou Mansion."

Sánchez said proudly, "The governor has taken their lair and locked them up on land. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, please give the order to land!"

After listening to Sanchez's words, Li Dan erased the last worries in his heart.

In Li Dan's opinion, even if the island was heavily defended, the Spaniards would be able to capture it sooner or later. It's just easier now.

"Okay, pass my order, and the whole army will land! Immediately after landing, assemble and advance to the island! ”

......

......

"Hehe, these dogs, they're really fooled."

Wu Ergou waved his fists excitedly.

"Shhh

Chen Mazi hurriedly covered Wu Ergou's mouth.

"Come on, how could they possibly hear me? Did they have ears for the wind? ”

Wu Ergou glanced at Chen Mazi and said, "You will be optimistic in a while, see how my brother and I cut off the heads of these Francophiles." ”
