Opposite Chek Lek Kok, two miles along Lantau Island, have become offensive and defensive firepower points. As soon as Shi Mingzhi arrived with the warship team, he only had time to bomb a few shells, and the cannons followed all the muted fire, and the short-term advantage was suddenly greatly weakened, and the warships could only be used to carry out the task of transporting troops. As a result, the Black Flag gang of pirates guarding the coast was able to breathe and temporarily hold the coastal defense line.

"Strategist, how did you get here? Now that the battle between us and the enemy is at its most intense, it is too dangerous to fight for the beach, so you better go down first. If you have any plans, you can send someone to tell me, or tell me to go down. ”

"Helper, I know you're worried about my comfort. However, the situation is critical now, and if we continue to delay like this, we will not even have a way back to retreat. ”

In the midst of the bullets flying, while shouting and screaming, the two squatted in the ravine, dodging stray bullets, and discussed things in the midst of the war.

At this moment, Guo Po looked at the military advisor with a solemn face, knowing that the situation was very serious, and her side was very unfavorable. In the fierce battle at sea just now, he kept watching it in his eyes, never stopped paying attention, and pulled the military advisor to a relatively safe area, so that the conversation between the two was clearer and not interrupted.

"Gang leader, according to the current situation, we do not have an advantage in terms of weapons and equipment, or the number of combatants. If you continue to fight like this, you will definitely lose. Therefore, if we want to change the status quo, we must have external forces to participate in attacking the Guangdong naval division and the Portuguese fleet on both sides, otherwise we can only withdraw from Lantau Island and slowly plan for it in the future. ”

"External force~? Strategist, you don't mean external forces"

"As the gang leader thought, if you want to keep Lantau Island and defeat them, you can only ask for help from Zheng Yi's sister-in-law and Zhang Baozai of the Red Flag Gang, and there is no other way."

"Strategist, can't you ask for help from other maritime gang forces? Although they nominally have an alliance with the Red Flag Gang, don't you know that we have a holiday with them? Even if I am willing to bow my head and ask them for help, the Red Flag Gang may not necessarily send a gang to support us. ”

The military advisor thought for a moment, took a deep look at Guo Podai, and felt that what he said was very sincere, so he explained: "Helper, of course I know this. It is impossible to ask for help from other maritime gangs, they not only have an alliance with us, but also have secret dealings with some forces in the government. ”

"The Guangzhou government's attack on us this time has made such a big fuss beforehand, those maritime gangs will definitely be called, if we rashly send people to ask for help, it will only be a waste of time, making the situation even more unfavorable to us."

"What's more, the current situation is very clear, very unfavorable to us, at this moment, those other gangs will not help us, and watching from the wall is already the best result."

"But, military advisor, with the previous festivals, can the Red Flag Gang come to help? Especially Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, when I took advantage of Zheng Yigang's death, I asked her to marry me, and even drove the Red Flag Gang out of Lantau Island, do you think she will still support us? ”

This time, the military advisor was silent for a long time, but it lasted for a short time, and then he revealed the key crux of it, and replied very firmly: "The Red Flag Gang will definitely come to support us!" ”

"Of course, they didn't do it out of good intentions, or because of any pirate alliance, but because they always wanted to retake Lantau Island. And one more point, they had to come. ”

The words of the military advisor immediately aroused the strong curiosity of Guo Po, and she urged itchingly: "Which point?" ”

"The Pirate League, that's it. I think that at the beginning, this alliance was facilitated by Zheng Yiyi, and he served as the leader of the alliance. Although Zheng Yi died unexpectedly in the typhoon, the strength of the Red Flag Gang is still there, and it is still the role of the leader of the alliance. ”

"Therefore, once we ask her for help, it is impossible for Sister-in-law Zheng not to agree, otherwise the Grand Pirate Alliance will exist in name only. What's more, even if Zheng Yi's sister-in-law is emotional and doesn't want to help us, but there is also a Zhang Baozai in the Red Flag Gang, and it is impossible for him to be resourceful and not realize the seriousness of the matter. ”

Guo Po shouted "Okay", and was very impressed by the military advisor's reasonable analysis, and when she was about to agree to send someone for help, she suddenly paused and said in confusion: "Military advisor, since no matter what, the result is that we lose Lantau Island, why bother so much, wagging our tail and begging for help from the Red Flag Gang, let's just abandon Lantau Island, isn't it good?" ”

For the comprehension ability of the gang leader, the military advisor was very helpless, and pointed out the pros and cons with a serious expression, Xiao explained the reason: "Gang master, the reason why I took so much trouble to let you ask for help from the Red Flag Gang, let our brothers resist desperately, and wait for the reinforcements of the Red Flag Gang, is for our future development and survival." ”

"Strategist, what do you say? Does this have anything to do with our future development and survival? Could it be that you want me to defect to the Red Flag Gang and attach myself to Zheng Yi's sister-in-law? No way! ”

"Gang leader, you misunderstood, think about it, once the Red Flag Gang agrees to our request for help and comes to assist us, it will be unstoppable to come into direct contact with the Guangdong Navy Division and the Portuguese fleet, and a war is inevitable."

"Of course, the Red Banner Gang, a new force, must have an absolute advantage and can completely defeat the coalition forces. However, will they be willing to be captured? There will definitely be a fight to the death, in the face of the desperate blow of the Guangdong Sailor, no matter how strong his Red Flag Gang is, it will break his muscles and bones, and the Guangdong Sailor will also suffer a heavy blow. ”

"In this way, after losing Lantau Island, we will not face the encirclement and suppression of the Qing court again, and the encroachment of the Red Flag Gang on us. In a short period of time, our Black Flag Gang can take a breather, rest for a period of time, and slowly recover without having to suffer a catastrophe. ”

The military advisor's words were conclusive, the words were reasonable, and they were clearly and clearly expressed, so that Guo Podai's unhappiness due to the loss of Lantau Island was swept away, and there was still a glimmer of hope, and the scene of seeing himself regain his strength in the future and come to Lantau again.

"Okay, military advisor, just listen to you, I'll send someone with a token in my hand to ask for help from the Red Flag Gang."

"Slow, helper, wait a minute, let your subordinates repair a book, with your token, so that you can persuade them to agree to support."

"Okay, just do as you say."

Subsequently, the two of them divided their labor, one sent someone to take the token, the other grinded the paper, and wrote quickly, exaggerating the current situation infinitely, and stopping in moderation. said that it was powerful, knowing the pros and cons, so that the Red Flag Gang had to agree to help.

The two talked a lot, but they didn't waste much time, after Guo Po finished explaining, she ran to the front line again, fought with the Qing soldiers, guarded the coastal beaches of Lantau Island, and prevented the Qing soldiers from stepping on Lantau Island.

When the military advisor finished writing the letter, he came to Guo Po's side again, this time he didn't stop it, but said: "Military advisor, if the Qing soldiers transport troops by warship now and land from Mawan, we will be finished, we can't resist at all, and we can't react, after all, the speed of the ship is much faster than people." ”

"Helper, don't worry, they don't dare to land from Mawan, if that's the case, the flame on the sea will see them off, and without us having to do it, they can destroy the enemy and become their burial place."

"En~Strategist, why do you say that? Now there are no guards from our brothers in Mawan, and there are no warships patrolling, what do you mean? ”

"Helper, you see, it's still a northwest wind, if they really come ashore from Mawan, it is estimated that before they log in, they will be drowned by the sea of fire blowing towards Mawan."

The military advisor pointed to the distance, the sea of fire that was still burning, and slowly narrated, with a hint of hope flashing in his eyes, how eager the Qing court sailors and the Portuguese fleet really did that. However, everything can only be imagined. Judging by the performances of their previous opponents, they would never have made such a low-level mistake.

Following the direction pointed by the military advisor, Guo Po saw that the sea of fire was moving slowly, and the direction was Mawan Port, and her heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

Bang bang!

The gunfire continued, constantly firing at each other, and the warships of the Guangdong Navy Division continued to transport soldiers to Lantau Beach on the other side of Chek Lek Kok. (To be continued.) )
