At noon, since the successful sneak attack by the Cantonese naval division and the Portuguese royal fleet and the sinking of most of the pirate warships in the port of Mawan, up to now, eight hours have passed, and the situation of the two sides has been reversed several times, and they are still in a state of stalemate, and the battle for the landing is still going on.

The gunfire continued, never stopped, along the shore of Lantau Island at Chek Lek Kok, lying a large number of corpses of Qing soldiers, the sea was even more adrift, and there were countless pirate corpses in the places defended by the Black Flag Gang.

The beach is stained with blood, and the water along the coast turns crimson, rolling and lapping against the shore.

On Chili Corner, in the tent of the military camp of the Guangdong Navy Division, Shi Mingzhi stood in the center, but General Fernand sat leisurely on one side, and Sun Chuanmou, who was on the seat, had a gloomy face and rebuked sonorously and forcefully.

"Mr. Shi, how did you command? So far, he has not taken Lantau Island and eliminated the bandits of the Black Flag Gang, what should he be guilty of? ”

"General Shi, don't think that you just won a small battle, annihilated a few pirates, sank a few enemy ships, you can be proud of your merits, and don't put Ben Shuai in your eyes, hum~"

"Now I order you, within half an hour, eliminate all the pirates on the opposite coast, otherwise the military law will deal with it, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"

"Yes, my subordinates will go."

Shi Mingzhi took a group of lieutenant generals to bow and retreat, slowly walked out of the camp tent, and walked towards the warship, the people under his command had a look of indignation, very unconvinced, and their hearts were blocked, and a depression was hidden in their chests.

In the tent, although Fernand, who was sitting on one side, couldn't understand what Sun Chuanmou was saying, how could he not understand what was going on when he heard his tone of instruction and reprimandism? I have heard of the deceit of the Chinese sailors, and I can't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly, outlining a hint of schadenfreude, as if I am an outsider watching a good show.

On the warship of the Guangdong Navy Division, Shi Mingzhi issued a series of orders, commanding his direct subordinates to carry out a desperate battle to seize the beach, one by one the former brothers fell, his heart was dripping blood, like a heart-rending pain, but he was still expressionless, resisting the impulse in his heart, and maintaining the calmness that a commander should have.

War drums thunder, gunshots, and the sound of fighting kept coming, Shi Mingzhi trained fewer and fewer soldiers for several years, and kept falling, still ignoring life and death, Shi Mingzhi's eyes flashed with tears, but he didn't fall for a long time, but stood more and more straight, and his face was more resolute.

The battle became more and more fierce, there were more and more casualties, the corners of Shi Mingzhi's eyes were thumping slightly, it was a microscopic manifestation of his heart dripping blood and revenge for his brother, the deputy general on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded each other: "General, you can't fight like this anymore, if you continue like this, our brothers will all die, stop it!" ”

"No, since the Admiral has issued an order, as a soldier, I will resolutely carry it out, and there will be no discount, even if our people are dead?"

"Admiral? What a commander, haha, he is simply looking for fault, he has nothing to do, he looks down on us Han commanders, and does not treat the green battalion sergeant as a person. So far, none of the sailors of the Eight Banners have moved, general, just stop, think of other countermeasures, and attack Lantau Island from other places, okay? ”

"Shut up, you don't want to live? If someone else hears it and accuses you of criticizing the master, it is a crime of beheading. Forget it this time, I don't need to say anything as if I didn't hear anything. ”

"Okay, General Shi, you just go stubborn, continue to adhere to the commander's orders, Ben will go to fight, live and die with our brothers, fight side by side, and die there together, as you wish, okay~!"

With a look of resentment on his face, the lieutenant general walked away in a negative mood, jumped off the warship, and came to a small boat that was about to set sail and headed for the shores of Lantau Island.

Shi Mingzhi only had time to stretch out his hand, one hand grabbed in the air, powerless to stop anything, he could only watch the deputy general leave, going to death alone, his lips pale murmured, and he didn't make any sound.

In the rain of bullets, the small warship moved quickly, and the vice general took the lead in charging with a bird's gun, pulling the trigger and moving forward bravely.

Bang bang!

The guns rang out and roared constantly, and the lieutenant general shuttled through them, constantly running, and constantly charging. Suddenly, his tall and majestic figure staggered a few steps, and in an instant he fell to the ground, plunged headlong into the sand, and finally lay there lifeless.

Shi Mingzhi has always looked at this lieutenant general, this brother who was born and died. Over the years, I don't know how many times, each other has exchanged bullets and dug each other out of the pile of dead people.

At this moment, time was frozen there, still and still, Shi Mingzhi's heart was pounding, his ears were quiet, his chest was constantly rising and falling, his face began to twitch, and a resolute and resolute will surged up from the dantian, rubbing straight up, his throat roared and hissed, and as soon as he threw the binoculars, he jumped off the warship with a bird gun and came to a small ship.

"Set sail!"

The two short words were loud and sonorous, commanding the soldiers. However, the small warship did not move, and the other soldiers on board looked at this scene in a daze, feeling like a dream and unable to believe it.

Shi Mingzhi's eyes swept over coldly, despised the soldier who was driving the warship, raised his gun, pointed directly at the other party's head, and ordered faintly: "Set sail!" ”

The soldier was full of cleverness, feeling that he was in the sky of thirty-nine, extremely cold, and did not dare to delay any time, so he immediately drove the ferry, rowed quickly and rowed towards the opposite bank.

"Since I can't change the general order, then I will accompany you to the death and share the suffering!"

With Shi Mingzhi's brazen dispatch, he came to the front line, and immediately stirred up the madness of the soldiers of the Green Battalion, and the warship swished, sailing towards Lantau Island at maximum speed. The sound of gunfire was bursting, but it was mixed with a mournful roar, which was the voice of Shi Mingzhi and a Han soldier, and the roar in his chest.

"Helper, no, those lackeys of the Qing court seem to be crazy, don't rush to this side, it is estimated that the brothers can't hold on, let's think of another way, anyway, in the end, this Lantau Island is not ours, as long as they are dragged one or two. Moreover, they came ashore just in time. ”

When the military advisor admired Shi Mingzhi's madness, his face was also gloomy, and a hint of conspiracy flashed between his eyebrows, after all, at this time, it was a hostile relationship between life and death.

"Enjunshi, not long ago, you asked your brothers to stick to the coast, why do you want to give up now?"

"Helper, the reason why I did that before was that I didn't want them to go ashore too easily, and to hurt the enemy as much as possible with our advantages, which can be regarded as recovering interest for the dead brothers."

"Let them go ashore now, not only because the brothers can't hold on, but also because, once these Tartar coalition forces find out that Zheng Yi's sister-in-law and they are coming, prevent them from escaping in a hurry, otherwise our plan will be in vain."

"Oh, I see, if that's the case, what are we going to do now? Do you want to abandon Lantau Island directly? ”

"No, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law hasn't come yet, how can they let them take Lantau like this?"

"Strategist, according to the current situation, it is very unfavorable to us, what should we do now to entangle them?"

Fang Buddha had already made a plan, but he paused slightly, sorted out his emotions, organized his language, and said slowly: "Helper, what we have to do now is nothing more than two. First, think of a way out and secretly transfer the savings of many years, these things will be our capital for a comeback in the future; Second, hold back the Guangdong Navy Division at all costs until Zheng Yi's sister-in-law's reinforcements arrive, let them fight each other, weaken each other, and create conditions for our future rise. ”

"So, helper, you hurry up and take some brothers to transfer supplies, I'm here to block, cover, provide you with time, hurry up and help the master, it's too late."

"What are you saying, let you be a weak scholar and drag the enemy, isn't this slapping my Guo Po in the face? Although I am just a pirate, I am also a sea tyrant, and I can't lose face when I die. ”

"Listen, you take some of your brothers to transfer supplies, and I'm here to deal with the lackeys of the Tartars. Don't worry, no one is more familiar with the topography of Lantau than me, and with the geographical advantage, it is no problem to delay for a while. ”

Seeing that Guo Po said seriously and resolutely, he knew that the helper had made up his mind and no one could change it, so he just left a word, and left quickly, going straight to the base camp to store the materials.

"Helper, stay safe, you must come back alive!"

Guo Po no longer dragged out, nor was he entangled in anything, and quickly explained to some brothers, retreated to the coast, moved inland, and relied on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, and the Qing soldiers were maneuvering, and under the safe conditions, they annihilated the enemy as much as possible.
