The herald hurried up and whispered that the casualties of the battalions had roughly added up to nearly three thousand.

"What? Less than half an hour! Liu Yu, the envoy of the city, said in surprise, "Count again, is it a mistake?" ”

"Chen Gongju, how should you explain?!" Huang Yuanlong gritted his teeth again and said, "You always have to save some seeds for Qingliu, right?" ”

"Lord Chen, the losses in this battle are too heavy!" "Do you want to count the casualties again?"

"There's no need to count anymore," Chen Gongju said in a deep voice, "It's not good at melee to go to the camp first, withdraw and rectify it a little, and prepare to charge again!" ”

The flag officer promised to go down and give the order. Chen Gongju picked up the clairvoyant mirror and saw a string of porters carrying the wounded soldiers back with the door panels, many of the wounded had blurred faces and painful expressions, and he seemed to hear moans and screams. In order not to startle the grass and the snake, Chen Gongju has always kept it a secret about the sailor and Guangzhou attacking the pirates. Even at the last moment, he was not ready to make it public: "Zhao Yuanzhi, in this game, I Guangnan is the last fight!" Huang Yuanlong's face was flushed because of anger, he had been loudly reprimanding Chen Gongju, his academic and political status, no one could gag him, the scene in Zicheng was a little noisy, however, Chen Gongju had been straining his face, Huang Yuanlong had no other way, if he couldn't impeach Zhizhou, he couldn't directly intervene in the matter of war defense.

In the peaceful years, in a place like Lingnan, which is far away from Beijing, the local officials are like a blue sky.

Chen Gongju is such a diligent and well-regarded person, whether it is others or himself, it is easy to have the illusion that everything comes from the prefect. However, this is only an illusion when the people on board are calm, and when the storm hits, the waves are rough and there is a danger of capsizing, everyone will feel the insignificance of their own strength. During the siege of the city for many days, Chen Gongju deeply felt this. In the eyes of others, Chen Zhizhou is the backbone of Guangzhou's defense, and he has a demeanor like a mountain, but he knows that the situation is dangerous, and the so-called calmness is all a façade. His heart hung in the air.

It wasn't until yesterday that the Zhao envoy secretly entered the city to make contact, and Chen Gongju breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately launched a long-planned night attack.

Defending the head of the sea city, the officers and soldiers relied on a large number of people, and the first counterattack hastily organized by the pirates was repulsed.

On the wharf of Western Australia, Qiu Darui looked gloomily at the group of Haikou with knives and guns dragging their knives and guns back, his eyes kept rolling, I don't know whether it was anger or fear, he walked to the commander of the Great Food Navy Famaitu, and said to him in the language of the Great Food, Song Guohaikou has been fighting desperately for many days, if the Great Cannibal is ready to sit like this and wait for the fruits of victory to land, then he will not be accompanied.

Qiu Darui's words were so good that the officers of the Great Food showed angry expressions, and Famaitu just looked at him, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words, and was still struggling to guess. In the flickering firelight, both of them remained silent, but their eyes met invisibly.

"Your Excellency," Aboud stepped forward and whispered, "The offensive of the Canton army is very fierce, and the pirates of the Song Kingdom alone cannot deal with it. ”

The sound of the Song army's guns was very loud, as if countless cannons were firing at the same time, and the sky over the newly captured Hanhai City rose from time to time. In instinctive fear, the pirates retreated as soon as they approached the city of defending the sea, and fled as if they were hiding from demons and monsters, and the fleeing people were in groups, and the big and small leaders of the pirates could not even scream. There were also many wounded men left on the battlefield, their faces distorted by pain, for both sides were red-eyed, and no prisoners were left, and the pirates wailed loudly, begging their comrades not to abandon them, adding to the terror of the others. As if overnight, an elite force sufficient to defeat the pirates of the Song Kingdom suddenly appeared in the city of Guangzhou.

"The Song people must have sent out their reserves," Famaitu said in a deep voice, "let's do something to let this be over." ”

In this last sentence, Famaitu did not lower his voice. Qiu Darui understood, a hint of joy burst out in his eyes, and he arched his hand and said, "Please send troops quickly." ”

Famaitu nodded, ignored him, and only squinted his eyes ahead, and after a while, the smoke of gunpowder almost enveloped the entire battlefield. The flickering fire, the rising smoke, the thudging of the bang, and the screams of all his strength could not make his gaze fluctuate in the slightest. Just as Chen Gongju deliberately used regimental training to consume the strength of the pirates outside the city, Famaitu also intended to use the pirates of the Song Kingdom to consume the strength of the city defense army. Therefore, the battle at the front was mainly fought between the pirates of the Song State and the city defense army of the Song State. The repeated battles for the walled forts within dozens of miles outside the city of Guangzhou, and countless battles of all sizes added up, causing heavy casualties on both sides. It's time for a decisive battle.

Now that he had made up his mind, Famaitu sent a herald to inform the naval warships anchored in the open sea to sail into the mouth of the Pearl River.

It will take a certain amount of time for the Great Food Navy to go ashore, and Famaitu asked Qiu Darui to urge the Song pirates to maintain the pressure on the Song army defending the sea city during this time, so that they cannot have time to strengthen the city defenses. He could see that although the morale of the Song army was high, it was not a battle-hardened veteran. Even if only a few pirates approached the city walls, the Song army fired fire guns and crossbows together, obscuring their vision through thick smoke. Famaitu used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the dark shadows in the smoke, and secretly planned in his heart that after most of the navy landed, he could let the Song pirates lure the city defense army to shoot, and then take advantage of the smoke they had created to rush forward. In the past few days, countless battles have proved that in hand-to-hand combat, the Great Food Samurai is almost a one-sided slaughter of the upper regiment training.

The sound of cannons and firecrackers reached the sea far away, and the great samurai on board heard it. The soldier on duty looked at the fire in the distance, and suddenly noticed that the lantern of the fleet commander's military order had risen on the dock, and immediately shouted. The order to go ashore to fight was immediately conveyed in various ethnic languages. The origins of the Roman-Turkic navy were complex, but they shared a thirst for plunder and wealth. Guangzhou is the city they have coveted for a long time. The order to go ashore immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the majority. The ship quickly raised its sails, the sailors pulled open their gun jackets on the bow, and the deck was littered with running soldiers, the light of their scimitars flickering in the morning light.

Soon after Famaitu issued the military order, the Great Food Navy sailed into the mouth of the Pearl River. Seeing the star and moon banner hanging high on the mast, hundreds of sea eaters on the shore drew their scimitars and cheered loudly. Seeing this situation, the morale of the Song Guohai on the dock in Western Australia was also greatly boosted, and the big and small leaders took the opportunity to agitate: "The big food people are also going to do it!" "This time the official army must be over!" "Break into Guangzhou City and grab it!" "Those who are ahead eat meat, and those who are behind can't even eat slag!"

There were many fishermen among the pirates of the Song Kingdom, however, as the so-called black who was close to ink, people with pure hearts were exposed to it in the thieves' caves, and they also developed selfish and vicious habits. The pirates are counting on the city of Guangzhou to be able to rape with him. After prostitution and plunder, as for how many families were ruined and how many people suffered boundless suffering, these pirates would not think about it. The Great Food Warship appeared on the surface of the Pearl River, counteracting the fear that the officers and soldiers had brought to the pirates last night. Many pirates pointed their fingers at the Great Cannibal Warship. And this is exactly what Famaitu hoped to achieve, the empire's navy was like the blade of a scimitar, and it had to be used with the utmost care, not only to let it fall under too much pressure and break the edge, but also to make the Song people awe of its power.

The battle was exactly as Famaitu had foreseen. He watched with satisfaction as the Empire's navy came out in front of all eyes.

The awe-inspiring gaze of the Song people gave Famaitu a great sense of satisfaction. The adjutant general Ya Xin whispered in his ear that the attack plan had been arranged, the low wall called "Defending the Sea City" was not worth mentioning at all, the Great Food Army would crush the resistance of the Song army outside the city, and then bombard the city of Guangzhou with the artillery removed from the ship, according to Qiu Darui's craftsmen and the experience of the Great Cannibal himself, dozens of artillery pieces concentrated on bombarding a corner of the city wall, and it would not take long to collapse the city wall. The guards of the Song Kingdom also understood this, so they did everything to fight with the pirates for the place outside the city. However, in the face of absolute strength, all resistance is futile. Judging from the battle situation of the past few days and last night, the Imperial Navy will deal a decisive blow to the Guangzhou city defense army.

"All resistance will be in vain." Famaitu whispered in the Great Eater language, shrugging his shoulders as he spoke.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Aboud said in a low voice, "Conquer the East, and Your Excellency will go down in history!" ”

Famaitu did not agree reservedly, and he frowned sternly as he watched as the Song people hurriedly vacated berths for his warship.

The surface of the Pearl River is very wide, and it is known as "Zhuhai" among the people of the Song Dynasty. However, the Great Food Navy and the pirates of the Song Kingdom formed an alliance to attack the city of Guangzhou, and thousands of ships came over one after another. In order to facilitate the way up and down, the Song pirate ships were anchored close to the pier of Western Australia, and this piece of water was full, so if the Great Food Navy wanted to land and fight, it had to give up the channel and berths of the Song pirates. Famaitu has not let go of the matter of helping the war, so Qiu Darui has not been prepared, and has to hastily arrange berths for the Great Food Navy, some of the big cannibal ships have docked at the Western Australian dock, and others are still moored far away on the river.

"Oriental pagans," Aboud pouted, mockingly sarcastic, "their actions are as motley as their faith." ”

Famaitu understood the intentions of his subordinates and smiled approvingly, for before all epic decisive battles, the commander and his subordinates would have a pious, shrewd, and wise dialogue, which would perhaps go down in history as a great achievement in the conquest of the East. It was rare for him to pluck Aboud's ears like an elder, letting him know that he was satisfied. Since victory is coming, what does it matter if it is an hour or two sooner or later? Thinking so, Aboud looked absentmindedly at the river, and suddenly, his gaze froze.

In the distance, between the water and the sky, a column of towering masts faintly appeared, and a triangular blood-red dragon flag fluttered on the top of the mast......
