Chapter 135: The Battle of Chili Kok (5)
As soon as Guo Po took him away, his figure gradually disappeared into the thick smoke, and immediately a few people came up, and under the struggle and drinking of the military advisor, they carried him off the warship, away from the artillery fire, to a safe place, and at the same time to watch the entire battlefield situation.
"Bastard, let me go, don't carry me away, the priority now is to fight the enemy."
"Hurry up, leave me alone, hurry up and operate the cannon, counterattack, one more person, one more strength, one more hope."
"You idiots, you can't do this, hurry up and let me go."
The shouting and blocking of the military advisor had no effect, and the other personnel on the battlefield would not be stupid enough to come up and help. At this moment, whether it is a newcomer or a veteran, there is a tacit understanding, their polite military advisor deserves respect, and he must survive, and his previous performances and bloodstains on his body prove that he is also a hot-blooded man.
On the battleship Raphael, the captain was very excited and danced quickly. Seeing that their side had an absolute advantage, the four warships kept bombarding, and the Chinese naval division also established an effective defensive line, carried out artillery attacks, and even organized troops to start crossing the beach and preparing to land on the coast of Lantau Island.
Seeing this, the captain became agitated with excitement, and there was a sense of satisfaction, as if this naval battle was commanded by him, and from beginning to end, as if he played a vital role, Fernand was like an old hunter who had been active in the mountains and forests for a long time, still maintained that composure, not carried away by the advantages in front of him, carefully observed the dynamics of the battlefield, analyzed the situation, and made minor adjustments.
"General, now that the Chinese sailors have firmly held Chili Jiao in their hands, and formed a flanking attack with our four warships, can we sail closer and give the Black Flag Gang a more severe blow to help them land on Lantau Island as soon as possible."
Fernand did not immediately agree, but lowered his head and groaned, thought for a moment, looked at the battlefield situation again, and then said again: "Okay, notify all the battleships to approach the Chinese naval division, and continue the artillery attack from them." ”
"Why, General? Shouldn't we approach our own warships and give them artillery support, so that the four warships will be safer? Why protect Chinese sailors? ”
Although puzzled, puzzled, and questioning Fernand's military orders, the second lieutenant still conveyed the general's latest meaning to the flag commanders. After returning, he looked at his boss in a daze, waiting for a solution.
"Yes, Captain, if you do what you say, you can greatly ensure the safety of our four warships, and the firepower will be more abundant and ferocious. However, as the Chinese saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and although the firepower has increased, it has also attracted the attention of the enemy. In that case, the vast majority of the pirates' artillery fire will be aimed at us, and if there is an unexpected situation, we will not be able to climb Lantau Island in a short time and take him, and we will be in the most disadvantageous position. ”
"So, the reason why I arranged it this way was just in case. If we launch an attack on the pirates from the side of the Chinese sailors, we will not only reduce the potential danger, but also attract more pirate firepower to attack the Chinese sailors and increase the casualties of the Chinese sailors. ”
The captain suddenly became enlightened, understood the intention, and then took over the words, echoing: "General wise, this move is just killing two birds with one stone, no matter what the result is, it is the Chinese who die, and it is their defense strength that is reduced, and we can have more bargaining chips in the future." ”
Then, in the conversation between the two, the five warships quickly sailed towards the Guangdong Naval Division, the war was still unfolding, the warships in Mawan Port had been lost, only the artillery along the coast returned fire, and the warships inside could not get close, so they used the dock to counterattack the Guangdong Naval Division and the Portuguese fleet head-on, because the mouth of the sea had been blocked by firepower, as long as the inland warships of the Black Flag Gang showed up, they would be sunk.
At this moment, the Black Flag Gang is in an extremely disadvantageous position and is very passive.
Sitting on the top of the mountain, at this time, the military advisor could clearly look at the entire battlefield, see the situation clearly, and know where the key lies in the key to saving and occupying his side, and immediately instructed the little minions around him: "Go, hurry up and invite the helper, just say that I want to discuss with him, it is related to the success or failure of this war." ”
"Yes, Strategist, the little ones will go."
The military advisor looked into the distance with concern, still observing the entire battlefield situation, and the pirate minion trotted away and disappeared from the sight of others in the blink of an eye, looking for the leader of the Black Flag Gang, Guo Po and Belt.
Soon, with a sound of complaining, the figure of Guo Po appeared, gradually walked in, and came to the vicinity of everyone, in front of the military advisor.
"I said military advisor, what is the matter, so urgent that people called me to come, the battle ahead is tight, and the brothers can't do without my command."
The military advisor did not answer Guo Po's words, but raised his hand, pointed to Chili Jiao in the northwest, and said solemnly: "Helper, you see, the reason why we are in a disadvantageous position and can't hold on to them is because the Guangdong sailors above Chili Jiao have restrained most of our brothers. ”
"Once we attack the Cantonese naval division with all our strength and recapture Chili Point, the Portuguese fleet will launch artillery attacks on us from two directions, hindering our movements, and at the same time blocking the ports to the sea, so that our inland warships cannot sail out to meet their warships."
"Well, military advisor, that's true. In that case, what should we do now to turn the tide of the war and turn back the unfavorable trend? ”
"For now, the only way to do this is to let the brothers along the coast defend it to the death, as long as the Qing soldiers are not allowed to land on the shores of Lantau Island."
"Then, concentrate all the firepower on the Portuguese royal fleet, suppress their firepower, and regain control of the port of Mawan, so that our warships can go to sea, and then snipe the Portuguese fleet and the Qing court warships, so that we can tear a hole in the ring encirclement, and the situation will develop in our favor."
"However, if all the artillery fire is used to attack the Portuguese fleet, what will happen to the warships and artillery on the Qing side? They can also attack with artillery fire and blockade our ports. ”
"Otherwise, helper, you see, Chili Jiao is more than two miles away from the port, and the artillery of the Qing army is no better than the Portuguese one, and the maximum range is two miles, and it is impossible to bomb there."
"Therefore, as long as the artillery fire along our coast can contain the Portuguese fleet and buy time for the inland warships to go to sea, then the battle situation will be strong against us, and with the wind direction and numerical superiority, our warships can quickly pursue and defeat the combined forces of the Qing court sailors and the Portuguese fleet, thus reversing the declining trend."
Hearing the story of the military advisor, telling the story, Guo Po's eyes suddenly lit up, and the light became more and more blazing, and after speaking, he immediately said happily and heroically: "It is worthy of being my military advisor, the dignified black flag gang is the second leader, and the plan is really amazing!" ”
"Strategist, you rest here first, wait and see, I'll arrange it, do as you say, this time you must beat those bitches to the ground, in order to relieve the hatred in my heart and vent the anger in my chest."
Guo Po was still so resolute, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a blink of an eye. Soon after, all the artillery fire along Lantau Island was aimed at the Portuguese fleet, and the power of the thousands of cannons fired together can be imagined, and the shells fell near the Portuguese warships like rain.
However, the sailcloth and mast of the warship had been destroyed, and it was impossible to quickly adjust its position with the help of the wind direction to avoid the rain of shells. All of a sudden, nine warships of the Royal Fleet were in crisis, three were hit, and the personnel jumped into the sea.
At the same time, the inland warships of the Black Flag Gang were moving quickly, rushing to the ocean, the sails were fully opened, the cannonballs were loaded, and as soon as they sailed into the ocean, the cannons were fired in an instant, bombarding the royal fleet and the royal sailors cruising in the coastal waters, and the situation immediately reversed, developing towards the side of the pirates, and the coalition forces could be completely annihilated at any time, and the situation was extremely critical.
