Yu Niang was very supportive of Shen Xi, and when she learned that Shen Xi was going out of the city to fight with the Franco, Yu Niang brought Xi'er and Yunliu to help without saying a word.

But Yu Niang saw that the manpower called by Shen Xi was just a group of peddlers and pawns, and immediately felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, even if she was almost the same as the Francois in the hands of the people, her combat effectiveness was ......

I really don't dare to compliment!

Shen Xi was quite confident and determined, and personally made a mobilization speech before the war, which can be summed up as: Follow me to make meritorious contributions, avenge the dead people of Quanzhou, and take back what the thieves robbed, and whoever gets it will belong to whomever he gets.

Even Yu Niang admitted that Shen Xi's words were very encouraging, not mentioning anything about being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, what she said was real things, and even she felt her blood boiling when she heard it.

But when she followed the team out of the city, she heard the sound of the city gate closing behind her, and the blood suddenly cooled down.

"Lord Shen, do you think we have a chance of winning?" Yu Niang came to Shen Xi's side and asked in a low voice.

Shen Xi glanced at her, under the light of the torch, her young and handsome face was full of confidence: "If you want me to answer, it must be ten percent." However, according to the actual situation...... There is about a ** into it. ”

Yu Niang has known Shen Xi for almost four years, and she has watched Shen Xi grow up almost step by step, if she wants to talk about this face, she can't remember how many times she has seen it, but every time it gives her a different feeling.

Every time they meet, Shen Xi is either making great progress on the road to the imperial examination, or she is in the ascending career, she needs to adjust her psychology again and again, and raise a few points from the original upward gaze.

But this time, Yu Niang couldn't cry or laugh: This Lord Shen really feels good about herself!

Just took a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs to fight with the Francophone people, and actually thought that there was a chance of winning, who gave you the courage and self-confidence?

Don't be a generation of talents buried under the city of Quanzhou.

Yu Niang continued to ask: "I heard that Lord Shen gathered all the fireworks in the city to the southeast of the city, I don't know why they were used?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head solemnly: "No comment." ”

Yu Niang was quite helpless, and decided not to ask anymore, because she felt that she really couldn't keep up with Shen Xi's rhythm, this was really a bold attack, but for some reason, she had a kind of blind trust in Shen Xi.

Yu Niang didn't ask here, but others couldn't help it, because they found that the road that Shen Xi took them was not in the direction of Thornton Port in the south, but to the east of Quanzhou, which seemed to be Quanzhou Wei in Luojiang Town.

"Lord Chincha, where are we going?"

"yes, you're not trying to run away with us, are you? Our wives and children are all in the city. ”

The further they went, the more noisy the crowd became, and many people had doubts about the purpose of Shen Xi's attack. However, Zhang Lao and the fifth rank of officials, who were originally here to keep an eye on Shen Xi and prevent Shen Xi from escaping, did not say a word, and they supported Shen Xi to slip away or go to the guard to ask for help.

"I'll tell you, we're going to go around enemy lines this time...... Do you know what it means to go behind enemy lines? It's to go around in circles behind the enemy's ass and take them off guard...... No matter how powerful the Franc man's artillery is, can it shoot back? ”

Shen Xi's words were simple and straightforward, but all the people in the market could understand it, and there was no Hanlin scholar who chewed the words.

With such a clear explanation, the crowd suddenly calmed down, and someone said: "What the adults said is very clear, we just need to follow along." It's so good that those people can't imagine that we will be behind them, and the time has come to make a difference. ”

"Yes, brothers, success is only tonight."

Yu Niang pricked up her ears and listened, her voice was very familiar, they were all people from the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce who followed Shen Xi on weekdays and were speaking, and with the support of these people, the people next to her were easily infected.

Yu Niang thought to herself: "What a trick to deceive people's hearts, what a good strategy!" ”

With the support of this idea, Yu Niang once again added a little confidence in Shen Xi...... From this point of view, Lord Shen is not improvised, but has been prepared for a long time!

How could a man with a vision and a plan be sent to death so easily?

Yu Niang couldn't help but think of the scene when she was in Fuzhou City, when Shen Xi made a plan to trap Song Xi'er, and now she feels very dangerous when she thinks about it, but if you think about it carefully, isn't fame and fortune all about it?

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of Franco's cannon kept coming, and the farther east you went, the closer it became. Because there were many merchants and warehouses along the banks of the Jinjiang River in the southeast of Ningbo City, the Franco-Rang people set up artillery on the Nanshan Mountain on the east side of the port, and took advantage of the geographical advantages of the hill to bombard the shops and warehouses under the hill indiscriminately.

I heard Shen Xi talking to himself there: "Fortunately, I notified the Chamber of Commerce in advance, so I don't know how many money-grubbers will have time to retreat in the future." ”

Even if the city of Quanzhou is dangerous, but it is protected by the city wall, and the caliber of the naval guns of the Francophiles is too small to threaten the wall, so they can't be killed at all. Besides, the goal of the Francois was not in Quanzhou Fucheng, they just wanted to grab all the shops in Thornton Port and the riverside and leave.

Grabbing a port in the Ming Dynasty is comparable to looting a small country in Southeast Asia, how can this not make the Francois people tempted?

Even if they robbed as many people, animals and materials, their ships were limited and they couldn't transport them away at all, so they wouldn't waste their strength to fight Quanzhou Mansion in vain!

The logic of the pirates is very simple, ceramics, tea and silk are shipped to Europe at a higher price than gold, and this is enough, and any more is purely asking for trouble.

On the one hand, it is necessary to send people to land, in addition to bombing and deterring with Franc machine guns, it is also divided into manpower to rob, and on the other hand, it is necessary to mobilize warships to go up the Jinjiang River and reach the city wall, so as to deter the Quanzhou capital and make the defenders in the city dare not come out.

The result of the division of troops is that in fact, there are not many people who have landed on the Franco, and the power of the Franco's cannon is not small, but a cannon is three or four hundred catties, transported to the shore by small boats, and then sent to the top of the mountain in the south with concerted efforts.

Shen Xi's plan was to cut off this supply line, and then kill from behind these people, leaving no armor behind.

Of course, you can't rush up the hill stupidly, and it will be troublesome for the Franco machine gun to turn the muzzle, but after all, people have firearms...... Rushing up like this, people shoot down with a round of arquebuses, and the casualties may not be serious, but it is too unrealistic to want those who have never even experienced the battle scene to rush forward with projectiles on the way to the market!

If you want to rely on these people to fight, the most important thing is to work hard and not have any setbacks, otherwise the morale will only be scattered...... People are gone, who is going to fight hard?

In the distance, the light of the shells fired from the muzzles of the guns could already be seen, which made the people who followed them feel a strong crisis.

Fortunately, the distance is long, and every time the light of fire comes, it takes a while to hear the sound of cannons. There were two shots, one was the sound of the cannon being fired, and the other was the sound of the shell hitting the target.

Yu Niang observed from a distance, the slope of the south mountain is not high, about twenty or thirty meters, just on the coast, there is a mangrove forest on it, which can form a good hidden effect.

However, there is no danger to defend this kind of terrain, as long as the officers and soldiers surround the below, the Franco-robot above, there is only one way to die.

From this point of view, there is no strategy at all for the Francos to fight, that is, to find a hill that looks almost the same, squat, fire a few cannons to scare people away, go down and rob, leave nothing that can be taken away, and burn the fire that cannot be taken away, and then return to the fleet in a small boat and retreat.

This is exactly the way pirates have always behaved, and they are much the same as those of pirates.

The difference is that the Francois mainly rely on their powerful firearms, and the deterrent power is sufficient, and even the officers and soldiers dare not provoke easily.

Of course, the officers and soldiers also have other ideas......

Pirates, after robbing, they will naturally withdraw, and when the time comes, we will follow behind, not only to recover the country, but also to kill some unpleasant guys, you can take credit to the head!

The pirates have gains, the army has their exploits, and each has its place.

It is the flat-headed people below who have been plundered by pirates.

After walking for almost three or four miles, he finally went around to the east of Nanshan, at the beginning the team led by Shen Xi was quite neat, and gradually scattered along the way, and when he reached the ground, he had already sneaked away a few, and it was extremely difficult to catch people back at night, but there were already people threatening: "Look up and don't look down on weekdays, don't think that you can't find anyone if you run away, and turn around to treat you for the big crime of escaping, and it is still light to take the board!" ”

Everyone touches their heads, it's still a matter of life, but they don't take it very seriously.

Shen Xi looked at the top of the mountain, now it is less than two hundred steps away from the hillside, and a charge can kill it, but because the night is dark and the wind is high, it is impossible to see the situation on the mountain, if the other party is on guard, such a charge is tantamount to throwing himself into a net, it is better to get closer to the hillside in the dark.

Shen Xi's side was facing the part of the landing of the Francophone, but at this time, Quanzhou Fucheng was facing the sea ship guns of the Franco.

The situation in the city is not optimistic.

Zhang Lian personally supervised the battle at the head of the city, and felt that the shells were flying overhead, and occasionally where they exploded, news of dead and wounded would come.

Zhang Lian was extremely resentful in his heart: "Why did you let that kid run away?" At this time, he should be allowed to go up to the city to block the cannonballs. If a shell falls on me, won't I be killed? ”

Just when Zhang Lian wanted to withdraw from the city tower and find a place to hide, he saw the sky not far away, and suddenly a dazzling fire burst out, rising into the air and exploding with a "bang", and colorful fireworks bloomed in the air.

This beautiful fireworks appeared on the battlefield full of shells, and Zhang Lian felt absurd when he saw it.

Listening to that kid's nonsense, what's the use of this thing? When I was told that I had become a joke of the Ming Dynasty?

Just when Zhang Lian was surrounded by people and walked under the city wall, the fireworks continued to bloom, and the colorful colors in the sky could not attract the attention of the city officials and the townspeople.

Strange to say, as the fireworks continued to rise into the air, the cannon of the Franco-robot over there seemed to suddenly mute fire.

It was also Zhang Lian who went to the ground and hid in the hidden soldier cave in the city wall for a long time before he discovered this problem.

No, could it be that the Franco-Rang people have run out of shells?

At this time, Yu Niang, who was waiting to attack the top of the mountain at the foot of the South Mountain, three miles southeast of the city, also saw the fireworks that kept blooming in the sky in the distance, and the fireworks burst out in the night sky, which was so dazzling, and she was the same as Zhang Lian, and she didn't realize the use of doing this at all.

The sound of artillery on the hillside, as the fireworks continued to rise into the air, stopped.

"What we use to make fireworks, they use it to make artillery...... You barbarians, how have you ever had the opportunity to see the good things handed down by our ancestors? No, look dumbfounded, right? Pass the word, you can rush! ”

Shen Xi gave an order, and a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs would rush towards the mountain in the dark with weapons, but none of them dared to shout loudly, because they all knew that the result of making a sound was to be beaten into a sieve by the firecracker.

Yu Niang looked up at the black shadows rushing up the mountain, and sighed with emotion: "This is on the thief ship!" ”
