Chapter 273: May the Lord's Family Have a Long Journey! (Chapter 4 of the Maple Grove Evening Flute)
Kim Zhongtai nervously watched the small boat with the white flag approach the Xiyi plywood boat little by little, and he was relieved to see that the other party did not fire.
As long as there is no exchange of fire, there is the possibility of negotiation, as long as there is no fight and send this group of money-hungry ancestors away, Kim Zhongtai is willing to pay any price.
When the boat returned, Kim Chung-tae completely collapsed. The pirates actually demanded that Kim Chung-tae pay 300,000 taels of silver before he could leave, otherwise he would hit Jeju Island and kill all the Koreans.
Hearing this news, Jin Zhongtai was like falling into an ice cave, if he had 300,000 taels of silver, he would still need to climb up desperately!
Seeing the pirates' warships approaching, Kim Zhongtai's heart was filled with despair. These Xiyi splints slowly turned around the hull and aimed the guns on the side at the water wall.
"Run! Run! The pirates are going to shoot! A terrible shout sounded in the water village, and the water village, which originally had more than 1,000 people, dispersed in a hurry.
Allen gave a loud order on the Sea Shark 1 battleship: "All the gunners listen, if the first shot can't hit, let Lao Tzu wipe the deck." A month's deck, not a day's less! Fire! "More than two dozen guns on the side of the flagship roared, and the guns of the other battleships also opened fire one after another.
Only one round of shelling shattered the water village, and the water village that could still be used completely fell apart.
The North Korean sailors, who fled in panic, rushed to the shore for their lives. Several people who were slow were killed on the spot, and their bodies were torn to pieces by shells.
The fleeing North Korean sailors fled faster when they saw the tragic situation of their companions, and they desperately ran towards the capital city of Jeju not far away.
There were at least a thousand soldiers there, as well as strong walls. As long as they get there, they still have a glimmer of survival.
Kim Chung-tae was also on the run, and the overwhelming artillery fire just now scared him so much that his crotch was wet. Now that he runs up, he feels cold under his crotch, and he doesn't care about any shame or not, and escaping to Fucheng is the point.
Zhang Dou looked at the North Korean sailors who fled in panic on the boat, and his heart was happy, and the North Korean sailors who had lost a lot of money last year were no longer in his eyes.
This is just the beginning, and we will not give up until the North Koreans pay the price of blood.
Without the blockage of the Korean Jeju Island Naval Division, the landing proceeded very smoothly. Sea boats docked at the Jeju Island pier to unload people and supplies. Soon more than 3,000 Jangheung troops gathered near the pier, and with an order, these soldiers marched towards the capital city of Jeju.
Hearing that pirates were coming, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in Jeju City. The people of Jeju fled home in panic, and the untrained soldiers began to tremble and climb the walls.
Jeju Mupu was also alarmed by the panic in the city, and when he learned that a pirate had attacked Jeju Island, he was so frightened that he hid under the table and did not dare to come out.
Anton, the general who defended the city, was still relatively calm, and he first asked people to close the city gates. Then 800 soldiers were sent up to the city to defend, and the remaining 200 soldiers were sent to go from house to house to Lazhuangding.
As long as the people who are mature have to participate in the defense of the city, the people who are brought in not only have to carry the rolling wood and stones to the city, but also have to enter the battle at the critical moment.
The slaves were no exception, and they were also given weapons to guard the walls.
Anton Yi also sent people to beat gongs and shout constantly in the city, and all the people who came were extremely vicious pirates, and even if they surrendered, they would not escape death. Everyone must defend the city with all their strength in order to have a way to live, as long as they hold the capital city of Jeju, everyone will live with ten taels of silver, and the official slaves will be relieved of their status as slaves.
Antonyi's words made all the people in the city excited, ten taels of silver is a wealth that most people have never seen in their lives. They were all dazzled by the silver, and desperately carried the equipment to the city.
Li Kun was not as happy as the others, and his family was involved in the rebellion against the king of Joseon. A small city guard has no right to pardon his guilt, and the reward of ten taels of silver per person is even more nonsense.
I don't know if this battle can be won, but even if I win a small battle, how much silver can I come up with? One thousand taels? Or ten thousand taels? For the people of Fucheng who are thousands of people, it is simply a drop in the ocean.
Most importantly, it is unknown whether they will be able to defeat the pirates. How many people will survive after winning the war is something that no one knows!
Li Kun vaguely heard what the sailors who fled into the city were talking about Xiyi pirates, he was not an ignorant commoner.
Li Kun has long heard of the power of the Xiyi pirates, not to mention a small Jeju capital city, that is, the whole of Korea may not have a city that can be defended.
Li Kun's mind turned back and forth, he didn't plan to desperately defend the capital city, as long as he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate to escape.
Jang Doo led a landing force of more than 3,000 men to quickly advance towards the capital city of Jeju, which was ready for defense by the time he arrived at the capital city.
The city was full of soldiers and civilians, and the appearance of these people was a little full of energy and high morale.
Seeing this, Zhang Dou couldn't help but smile, a little interesting. At least the North Korean defender of Fucheng still knows how to mobilize the people to defend the city, and he doesn't know what method he used to make these people popular.
I just don't know if the North Koreans will have such high morale when their artillery attacks the city.
"Iron Bull! You go and shout and give the North Koreans in the city a stick of incense. If you don't surrender then, all the officials in the city will be beheaded! Zhang Dou's few words decided the fate of the officials in the city.
Hu Tieniu held a big iron horn, walked to a distance of an arrow with a big grin, raised the horn and shouted: "Listen, the people in the city! My handsome family said, give you a pillar of incense time to surrender. Don't surrender when the time comes, and kill all the families who are in charge in the city! ”
His words infuriated Antonyi, who was commanding the defense of the city. What the? For the first time, Anton Yi heard that if he didn't surrender, he actually killed all the officials! Shouldn't the city be slaughtered? What's the matter with killing all the officials' families? Is there a new rule for pirates?
He heard Hu Tieniu shouting in Chinese, the language that their Korean nobles had to master.
Anton also listened to it sincerely, and there were thousands of pirates in front of him. It was not surprising that there were Han Chinese inside, but what surprised him was the discipline of the thousands of people in the city.
He heard only the voice of the person shouting from the thousands of people below, and no one else spoke. Such discipline is not to be described as pirates, not even the most elite soldiers of North Korea can do it.
It seems that today's battle is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that he will never be able to return to his hometown.
Zhang Dou called Gao Ye, Gao Ye came to Zhang Dou and knelt down respectfully to kowtow to say hello, got up and stood in front of Zhang Dou with his head bowed to listen to the order.
"Takano Ichi!" Zhang Dou said.
"Hey!" Takano immediately replied loudly.
"Wait for the artillery to open the gates! You lead the death brigade to rush in first, and you will be killed by the personality of the resistant! Zhang Dou ordered.
"Hey! Gao Ye will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and may the lord's martial arts luck last a long time! ”
