After a few days of exploration, Xu Keding frowned even more. The Third Fleet was responsible for besieging Aodao, and after this war, his fleet would go south to garrison Lianzhou, but after the war, I am afraid that the Third Fleet would have suffered heavy losses.

"Xu Junling, the lord has arrived."

Xu Keding was overjoyed and said, "Hey, the lord's speed is so fast, let's go out to greet him." ”

The sound of neat steps came one after another, and the pro-army in black armor, black clothes and black helmets slowly surged like a black torrent.

Not liking the red and messy colors of the Ming army, Chen Xiong replaced all the equipment of the Han pro-army with black. Even if it's just a black leather helmet, it's better than a mess of colors.

The black army is approaching step by step like the messengers of hell. Seeing the pro-army again, Xu Keding couldn't help but panic inexplicably. This is an army that will be indomitable in the sea of swords and fires, and this is a group of indifferent, numb and expressionless killing machines.

"See the lord."

The grass and wood soldiers moved to both sides, making way of a road, and then Chen Xiong walked out of the middle with the heavy cavalry of the guards.

"Xu Junling, let's go to the city."

The commander is the name of the army, and the military order is the name of the sailor. Today's sail smoothbore gun warships do not deserve the name of the navy.

"It's the lord."

More than 20,000 soldiers immediately dispersed and set up camp, and Chen Xiong also entered the small acropolis of Zhuhai with 200 heavy cavalry and 100 wooden guards.

After settling down, Xu Keding, the commander of the Third Fleet, immediately reported: "My lord, the water and land strength of Ao Island is about 5,000, the Portuguese are under martial law on the whole island, and the fort groups have not stopped guarding day and night. ”

Chen Xiong nodded and asked, "With the more than 20,000 troops of the Third Fleet, how long will it take to break through the battery group?" ”

Xu Junling frowned: "It is initially estimated that it will take 10,000 people and nearly half of the large and small ships to destroy the coastal defense of Ao Island!" ”

"No, the loss is too much, and the gains outweigh the losses!" Chen Xiong shook his head in disapproval.

Xu Junling also frowned and nodded: "What is more difficult to fight is the fortress city on the island, and the dense firearms and military forts can only be slowly cleaned up with artillery and explosives." The casualties will be even more tragic! ”

"Hehe, no wonder the Portuguese are so arrogant, it seems that they put a lot of energy into the island." After thinking of the plan, Chen Xiong already had a plan in mind.

"My lord, should we besiege or gather the First Fleet?" The Second Fleet had already set out for Yangjiang to garrison, and the First Fleet was at the mouth of the river, otherwise their firepower alone would have to be filled with human lives.

Chen Xiong shook his head: "Let's discuss it tomorrow, you only need to surround the whole island." ”

"It's the lord."

The night was bitterly cold and windy, and the waves crashed against the land.

The wind was biting, and the cold, dark sea was like the mouth of hell. Facing the endless sea, Chen Xiong only felt empty in his heart: the ocean is the mother of life and the grave of life.

After Chen Xiong replenished the energy of more than 10,000 grass and tree soldiers, the grass and wood soldiers quietly walked into the sea.

The slight sound of water waves came, and Chen Xiong felt a chill. More than 10,000 grass and wood soldiers in leather armor swam in three groups to the place where the fire was shining on the opposite bank.

When they encountered ships, they dived, and even the sailors of the Third Fleet could not detect them.

Afraid of waking up the sailors and artillery on Ao Island, the grass and trees slowly swam away. They can float in the water, and it doesn't take much effort.

An hour later, all the grass and wood soldiers came ashore. They slowly approached the three fort groups from the dark shore, and the foreign devils on the island still did not notice them.

The fort group was surrounded by a low wall more than three or two meters high, surrounded by eight small towers: each of which had three flintlock firefighters.

A hundred meters close to the low wall, the faint light of the fire can already shine around.

"Rush, kill them all for me~" The wooden man commander shouted, and charged with thousands of grass and wood soldiers.

The firecracker on the tower was startled and shouted, "It's not good, it's the Ming people who killed it." ”

Bang Bang Bang~~ Nine guns rang out one after another, and the patrolmen in the fort immediately shouted and rushed over.

"Hurry, hurry~" The firecrackers on the tower wanted to cry without tears, and these people had already rushed to the low wall.

As soon as the grass and trees soldiers arrived under the low city wall, they all jumped up without stopping. The straw soldiers stepped directly on the city, and the wooden soldiers jumped on the low wall with one foot on the wall.

"Ah, shoot, quick."

Dozens of patrolmen raised their guns in panic.

Bang Bang Bang~~ Dozens of iron beads shot through the body of the light soldier, but the steel knife of the straw soldier still flew in.

Bang Bang Bang~~

There were firearms, but the shadow of the sword was even colder.

"Ah~"

"No~" After the sporadic sound of fire, there was a continuous scream. In less than ten minutes, hundreds of Portuguese soldiers all closed their mouths, and the flowing blood was slowly clotting.

The stopped grass and wood soldiers immediately bandaged the wounded soldiers to stop the bleeding, and the rest of the men began to stand guard around the fort.

There was a dense sound of firecrackers, and even the explosion of explosives. The sailors on the island all set sail in panic, and the guns on the ship were also stuffed with shells.

The entire island city was also awakened, the Portuguese were very panicked, and the local Ming people were also very confused.

The hairy Governor of Sai scolded: "Damn what's going on, go check it out." ”

"Governor, the soldiers have gone to investigate."

While the sailors on Ao Island were on alert, the Third Fleet was also awakened by the sound of explosions and firecrackers. The loud bang shook the heavens and the earth, and it was the Portuguese artillery that set fire to the powder magazine, killing a hundred grass and wood soldiers on the spot, and wounding more than a hundred. Many artillery pieces were blown up, and the entire battery was in shambles.

When Captain Xu Keding was surprised, the herald of the lord also came immediately.

"Xu Jun ordered, the lord ordered the Third Fleet to take over the Aodao battery."

"What, the receiving battery, is it really the lord's pro-army dispatched?" Xu Junling hurriedly asked.

The herald nodded with a faint smile: "More than 10,000 of the lord's personal soldiers have crossed the sea and have occupied the three major forts. Thinking of the icy sea, the heralds felt chills all over their bodies.

"The Last General's Order." Xu Keding couldn't help but be frightened and immediately went to the dock to board the ship.

When the Third Fleet took over the battery, Xu Keding still couldn't believe it. It is rumored that the main soldiers are all good at underwater, but aren't they afraid of being cold to death in this biting seawater?

"These guys are crazy!" The sailors who took over the cannon couldn't help but talk.

"They are really not afraid of death in this weather!"

"It's just that not many people dare to do it even in the summer! What a bunch of devils! ”

The old sailors of the Han army would not be surprised, but the new sailors could not help but marvel.

Governor's House of Aocheng.

"The governor has repeatedly confirmed that the forts are occupied by the Ming."

The governor of Cyprus was stunned for a moment and said in a panic: "This is impossible, how can it be, are all the sailors mutinied?" ”

"Governor, the sailors are still in the port, and they are also inexplicable."

"Governor, we have also been cut off from the sailors."

After pondering for a long time, the governor sighed helplessly: "Tomorrow we will negotiate with the Guangzhou military government, we are willing to pay 20 million taels to lease the island, but it will take a while to raise!" ”

In the past ten years, most of the income of Ao Island, in addition to handing over to the Spaniards, has been invested in the military construction of Ao Island. Now they can give up to five million taels, and the rest can only be raised slowly. The military industry of Ao Island is an important part of the revival of the Portuguese. In particular, these thousands of craftsmen are all first-class craftsmen in Europe.

When the sun rose, more than a dozen sail battleships bombarded by the batteries were forced to surrender under white flags. Besieged by land and sea, the Portuguese sailors could not escape at all.

The devil's fleet surrendered, and Chen Xiong also led troops to land on Ao Island. The Portuguese envoy didn't bother to pay attention to his request, and now nothing was more important than treating hundreds of wounded.
