Chapter 678: The "Hector" is first revealed
This old man who came out of the fog was the head of the ghost village.
It turned out that the villagers hurriedly reported to the village chief after they found out that Gu was not missing. The village chief was worried that Gu would not fall into the hands of the Dutch, so he led the villagers out to look for it.
When he was close to the entrance of the village, he found that Gu was not much with Zheng Jiajun, why did Zheng Jiajun suddenly come to the ghost village? The village chief decided to find out, and after listening carefully in the fog, he learned that Zheng Xuan and the others were coming for that He Bin.
"The village chief?" The appearance of the old man made Zheng Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, before Zheng Xuan entered the ghost village, he had seen the village chief, although he was still young at that time, he is much older now, but the village chief's headdress is obvious, Zheng Xuan recognized it at a glance.
"General Zheng hasn't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." The village chief was on crutches and led the men of the village to meet him.
"Hello village chief. By the way, let me introduce you, this is the general of the Jinyi Wei Qinglongmen Internal Guard. Zheng Xuan hugged his fist at the village chief, and turned to introduce the Qinglongmen internal guard.
"Jin Yiwei?" The village chief glanced at the inner guard, and the inner guard hurriedly saluted, "Jinyi Wei has just arrived in Guibao Land, and there are many disturbances, I hope the village chief will forgive me." ”
After hearing this, the village chief smiled and nodded, "Well, if you are terrible, the current Jinyiwei is much better than the previous Jinyiwei." ”
"Don't hide it from the village chief, I waited for this time to disturb because I had something to ask for." Zheng Xuan quickly got to the point, after all, the sound of artillery behind him was heart-warming.
"Lord He is in the ghost village." The village chief already understood the situation, and without waiting for Zheng to declare, he nodded in response, and then stomped on his crutches three times, and three more people came out of the fog, the one in the middle was relatively tall, thin and white, and quite a bit of Confucianism.
"Lord Ho?!" Seeing the three people come out, Zheng Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
The person in the middle was really He Bin, and when he saw Zheng Xuan, he almost cried with joy, "General! He Bin finally looked forward to the general! ”
Seeing He Bin himself, the Qinglongmen inner guard approached and asked, "Is the map available?" ”
He Bin was startled, and couldn't help but hide back, "You...... Who are you? ”
Zheng Xuan hurriedly explained, "This is the internal guard of the Qinglong Gate of the Jinyi Guard, who came to rescue the adults on the order of General Qinglong. Adults don't need to panic. ”
After He Bin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded at Neiwei, "Never left." ”
"Good. General Zheng, the artillery fire behind him has gradually subsided, and it is estimated that the enemy has discovered our plan to attack the east and west, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. "The internal guards of Qinglongmen have always been cautious and fast, and the main purpose of their trip is to find He Bin and bring him back to Kinmen, so they must not dare to be careless.
After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, and was about to leave, when two spies from the ghost village suddenly ran to make an urgent report, "Village chief, it's not good, Yangmaozi is coming around!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked again.
"General, let's go back to the village for a while." He Bin worried, it can be seen that this person is cautious and a little timid.
"No, our actions are exposed, and the Dutch will not give us a second chance!" The internal guard categorically objected.
The village chief nodded and said, "General Neiwei is right, Mr. Ghost Village can't stay any longer, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of Penghu for a while." ”
Zheng Xuan listened to the opinions of several people, nodded thoughtfully, "We have to leave quickly!" In this way, you Jinyi Wei will take Lord He to withdraw first, and we will break off and drag the Dutch. ”
Unexpectedly, the internal guard shook his head again, "It's not appropriate." This place Zheng Jun is the most familiar with, and it is easier to escape the tracking of the Dutch, after we stay, General Zheng left with Lord He! ”
"This ......" Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, "However, the Jinyi Guard's internal and external guards have fallen into the enemy formation, how can I explain to General Qinglong when I go back?" Zheng Xuan naturally has his own concerns.
The internal guard smiled indifferently, "When General Qinglong gave us an order, he knew what the result would be, and it was not a secret, the two guards inside and outside the Qinglong Gate rarely acted at the same time. I say this, the general should understand. ”
After Zheng Xuan heard this, his admiration couldn't help but arise spontaneously, and he nodded, "No wonder everyone says that Jinyiwei is no longer what it used to be!" ”
"General, don't delay any longer, the enemy will soon surround you, and no one will be able to escape at that time, your life and mine don't matter, delaying the military situation of the two great generals is a big crime!" The inner guard urged.
Zheng Xuan is not a mother-in-law's mother-in-law, seeing that the internal guard has made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Brother take care, I will send Lord He back to Jinmen and return to reinforce you immediately!" With that, he escorted He Bin away with his entourage.
Before leaving, Zheng Xuan did not forget to entrust Gu Bu to the internal guards, but he also knew that the hope of survival of the ghost village was very slim.
Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Xuan and the others left with He Bin, the Dutch sent heavy troops to surround the ghost village.
"The general is wrong, the life of your Jinyi guard is also very important, the general come with me!" The situation was urgent, and the village chief said to the internal guards, leading the remaining brocade guards to retreat to the ghost village.
At this time, the Qinglongmen guards who took the lead in firing at the outpost, after nearly an hour of fierce fighting, there was not much left. Hearing that He Bin had been rescued, the outer guards decided to avoid the Dutch first, and led the remaining Jinyi guards to withdraw from the outpost and hide in the night.
Without the response of the outer guards, it was difficult for the inner guards to survive in the encirclement of the Dutch, so they had to follow the village chief and his party into the ghost village.
The ghost village is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and outsiders who venture easily will surely die.
With the previous lesson, the Dutch who surrounded them couldn't help but stop when they came to the entrance of the ghost village. The ghost village shrouded in night and fog is even more prohibitive.
The Dutch commander in Penghu chattered with the guards beside him, only to hear the guards nodding again and again, and quickly turned around and left.
After a while, I saw the Dutch pulling a few cannons at the entrance of the ghost village, and the Dutch governor gave an order, and the artillery "rumbled" at the ghost village.
The Dutch prefect slammed the firearm angrily, and reprimanded the guard, and when the guard responded, he saw that the anger on the chief's face had changed to joy. After leaving a large army to surround the ghost village, the Dutch governor returned to his camp. What they seem to be waiting for. Is it waiting for dawn?
Otherwise, they are waiting for reinforcements! It turned out that as soon as the battle of the outpost began, the sound of Penghu's artillery attracted the attention of the headquarters of the Dutch army on the island of Taiwan, and before receiving the Penghu outpost's request for help, the headquarters sent reinforcements across the strait to Penghu to support.
The Dutch sent a large warship across the strait and rushed to Penghu, and this battleship was the Dutchman's capital ship "Hector".
"Hector" carried thousands of Dutch troops and many artillery pieces out of the waves and reached Penghu Bay. And under the guidance of the Penghu outpost, bypassed the coast and headed for the direction of the ghost village.
In the early hours of the morning, as the Dutchman's sea giant "Hector" arrived at the ghost village ferry, as soon as the ship stopped, the gun doors on the battleship were opened one after another, a row of black holes of the gun ports stretched out of the hull, the Dutch commander observed the situation on the shore with clairvoyance, and after the ghost village on the shore was guided by fireworks, the commander of the "Hector" ordered to adjust the gun port.
After the Dutch commander determined the angle and height, the Dutchman, who looked like a general on the battleship, drew his sword and waved it, and shouted, "Longxi Order!" The guns on the "Hector" fired at the ghost village, and three rounds of bombardment in a row exceeded the white-haired shells.
After a terrible bombardment, the ghost village fell completely silent.
Fortunately, the ghost village has experienced a lot of large and small wars and pirate attacks, and has already formed its own defense system, but in the face of the crazy bombardment of the giant "Hector", the defense system of the ghost village completely collapsed, although it has survived the first bombing of the Dutch, but the villagers are also killed and injured more than half. About an hour later, the "Hector" launched another bombardment, and the ghost village was bombed to pieces, and there were not many people left in the village.
The village chief fled with Jinyiwei and the rest of the villagers to the Oni Village Shrine, and there is a secret passage under the shrine, which is the shelter for the people of the Oni Village. Coupled with dozens of Jinyi guards, there are less than 300 people who follow the village chief into the secret passage. This is almost a devastating blow to a village of 1,000 people, not to mention that these hundreds of people do not know how long they can hold out.
Jin Yiwei Neiwei looked at the ghost village people who had lost their homes and relatives, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he immediately decided to take the water ghosts to fight and kill, draw the enemy's attention out of the ghost village, and let the remaining two hundred people have a chance to live.
However, the action was opposed by the village chief, "If you go out, not only will you not be able to save us, but even you will die in vain." ”
"This secret passage is a secret passage in the ghost village, and even if the Dutch find out about it, it will take some time to get in. There is water and food in the secret passage, I hope we can last until the day when Zheng Jiajun arrives! ”
After hearing this, Neiwei couldn't help but calm down, his idea was good, but he really rushed out, and as the village chief said, he hit the stone with an egg. It is better to guard the pass, and I believe that Zheng Xuan and others will soon bring the situation on Penghu Island back to Kinmen. Qinglong will not leave them alone.
"What if the enemy attacks with water?" The internal guard began to inspect the secret passage system.
The village chief was quite sure, "It's okay, Penghu is surrounded by the sea, and this problem was considered when digging this secret passage, even if there is no foreign enemy intrusion, you need to beware of the sea tide." ”
"Where's the fire attack?" The guard asked again.
"It doesn't matter. The exit of the secret passage is actually a cliff, and outside the cliff is the sea, and the general should feel that although we are in the secret passage, there is a cool breeze, and the fireworks are not to worry about. The village chief stroked his beard and replied.
The inner guard nodded, and had to admire the survival wisdom of the people in the ghost village, and for a moment, he summoned the water ghost team, "Since the enemy can't help us for a while, then, the most urgent thing at the moment is to block the entrance, beware of the enemy's strong attack, from this moment on, set up a checkpoint every ten meters, ten people in each pass, you must give me the ability to use a husband and a pass, even if you die, you must hold on until the arrival of the general, and you must protect the people of the ghost village!" ”
"Order!"
Seeing this, the village chief bowed to the internal guard and said, "Please, general." As he spoke, the village chief gently stroked Gu Bu's head and took it into his arms.
The ground system of the ghost village has been shattered, and some villagers who have not been able to hide in the secret passage in time have to flee for their lives outside the village.
Soon the entrance to the secret passage of the shrine was found, and a new round of attack and defense began.
The ghost villagers and Jinyiwei faced the challenge of the Dutch's wheel battle, but fortunately, after they hid in the secret passage, the "Hector" was difficult to play a role, and had already left Penghu and returned to Taiwan.
