"I have already told you the conditions set by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Francisco said, "As for the requirements, there is only one, to fight Yulin Bay once, only then will their emperor have a chance to punish them." ”

"It's the Oriental way of thinking again." Flores laughed, "When do they ask us to attack, and where?" ”

"Their calendar attacks at the beginning of May, and at the latest it cannot be more than mid-May, which means that there is less than a month left." Francisco said, "We don't say where to attack, we are free to choose where to attack." ”

"Then we'll go to Taiwan." Van Rude was still indignant about the withdrawal from Taiwan, "Let's go and recover our castle." ”

"No, Your Excellency." Francisco shook his head, "Taiwan is now controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and we can't reach Taiwan within a month." ”

"Gentlemen." Anthony looked at the map on the table, "Let's discuss the location of the attack." ”

At the same time, Zeng Guangxian, Wang Zhaoxing, and Xin Jiaju, these traversers also gathered in the captain's room of the Pearl.

Zeng Guangxian looked at No. 777 towed behind the Pearl: "Major Xin, you were originally the gun commander on No. 777, and now you have been appointed as the captain of No. 777, is there a problem in commanding this speedboat?" ”

"Don't worry, sir." Xin Jiaju looked very excited, "It's been so many years, I can finally return to No. 777, I've been looking forward to this day." Besides, the people on the speedboat are basically our original naval soldiers, and the opponent is 400 years behind us, so there is absolutely no problem. ”

"Don't be so quick to make a guarantee." Wang Zhaoxing said with a smile, "No. 777 has a total of so many shells, save a little, and don't fire if you can." Don't make it the same as the army, now except for the 58 high machine, there are still some bullets left, and the other guns have basically become burning sticks. ”

"I understand, sir."

Zeng Guangxian turned his head and asked, "Lao Wang, how many days can we get to Singapore?" ”

"It's going to take five or six days." Wang Zhaoxing said, "But don't worry, the second squadron has arrived in Singapore, and they should be prepared." ”

"I don't know what the attitude of the British is now." Zeng Guangxian was a little worried, "Our opponent is not small this time. ”

"Sir, you're worried." Xin Jiaju said, "With the Pearl and the 777, we can kill the Westerners without the British." ”

"I hope so." Zeng Guangxian muttered.

Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, stood on the wall of Datong Mansion and took the monocular given to him by Wang Qianxiang and looked into the distance for a while.

Wang Pu looked at it for a while and didn't see anything, put down the binoculars and was a little stunned. The will of the imperial court has long arrived, but Wang Pu has always been unsure about whether Datong can resist this attack of the Mongol Tatars. Although the imperial court's will was a bit of an understatement, saying that only the Mongol Tatars would attack this time, and there were no Manchu Tatars, the imperial court also made it clear that there would be no reinforcements this time, and everything would depend on Datong Town's own defense. However, the Yulin Army was transferred away again at this critical juncture, and Wang Pu's heart became more and more anxious.

"My lord, it looks like our scouts have returned." Tian Congpin stood behind Wang Pu and pointed to the distance and said. Because Tian Congpin and Wang Qianxiang had been mixing for a long time and knew more about the Yulin Army, Wang Pu temporarily transferred him to his side.

Wang Pu raised the telescope again, galloped a few war horses from the mountain pass, and a general flag led by him ran to the city and grabbed the war horse: "Open the city gate, we have a military intelligence to report to the general soldier." ”

The city gate was slowly opened, and the general flag ran up the city tower: "Lord Commander, no trace of the Tartars was found today, and everything is normal." ”

"Got it." Wang Pu's heart was a little more stable, it seemed that nothing had happened today, "Everywhere step up precautions, there must be no mistakes." ”

The next morning, the sun was shining. The defenders on a fire pier under the jurisdiction of Yunshi Fort on Weiyuan Road, Datong Zuoweidao, rubbed their red eyes, looked into the distance, picked up their spears and walked down the lookout post.

"My lord, there is no invincible affection." This fire road pier was garrisoned by seven Ming soldiers, led by a small banner named Wu Yi.

"Got it." Wu Yi nodded and said, "All cheer up, the adults at all levels have explained, the Mongolian Tatars are likely to come to attack these days." Outside our Yunshi Fort is the residence of the Mongols, don't be like you haven't woken up, all of them are staring at me with wide eyes, and no one can afford to go wrong. ”

"Got it, sir." The rest of the sergeants answered together.

"Are your families gone?" Wu Yi asked again.

"Thank you for your concern." The surrounding Ming troops responded, "They all moved to Shiyun Fort a few days ago. ”

"Yes." Wu Yi snorted, "Our family's chief soldier has thought thoughtfully, he has made all the preparations, and the new firecracker has also been sent, and you have all fought it, so it is no problem to use it against the Mongolian Tatars." ”

"Yes, my lord said so." The sergeants were still very satisfied with this new type of firecracker, which was much more powerful than the previous three-eyed guns and bows and arrows.

Wu Yi arranged it again, turned around and returned to his room.

Before Wu Yi could sit down in the room, he heard a shout from the lookout post: "My lord, my lord, the Tartars are here." ”

Wu Yi rushed out of the house and ran to the lookout post, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the mountain pass in the distance, the iron cavalry was rolling, and the smoke and dust were rising to the sky.

"Light the wolf smoke, release the signal, five smoke and five cannons!"

Five cannons rang out, and five wolf smoke soared into the sky. Although Wu Yi had already received the news, he was still secretly worried at the moment that the strength of the Mongolian Tatars was more than 10,000.

Omubu accompanied Haoge out of the mountain pass, and Haoge rushed to Guihua City with 1,000 elite banners, forcing Omubu to gather about 20,000 Mongol troops. Huang Taiji's order to Hauge was to avoid the main force of the Ming army, sweep around, and plunder as many people as possible. Because after these years of fighting, especially being ambushed by Yulin Bay several times, the strength of the Manchu Qing has declined somewhat, and Huang Taiji is very uneasy about the new Korean army, so it is still a good way to loot some Han people to supplement the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji is discussing with Dai Shan, Fan Wencheng and others these days, hoping to carry out a land reform in the Qing Dynasty like North Korea, so that the Han people in the northeast will die for themselves.

"Lord Wang, you will enter the place of Daming ahead." Ombu pointed to the beacon fire in front of him and said, "There is a fire pier there, and wolf smoke has been released. ”

This time, Oumubu's heart was very conflicted, and it was not a way for him to wander between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty like this. In case this time the Qing Dynasty is in vain, then his Poke is really wrong.

"How can a small fire pier stop my tens of thousands of troops." Hauge called over a cow and said, "Take someone to beat it down and catch a few alive." ”

"Huh." Niu Lu Ezhen picked up his gun and got on his horse, "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, charge with me." ”

Dozens of war horses spread their hooves and rushed towards Wu Yi's fire road pier.

"My lord, the Tartars are rushing over." A sergeant shouted in alarm.

"My lord, it's a Manchu Tartar, not a Mongol Tartar." Another sergeant shouted.

Wu Yi saw clearly that there were no less than thirty war horses on the opposite side, but all of them were white-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers.
