After Gao Wenjin and Pan Xiu went to Magong Town, they found that everything here was exactly as Pan Xiu said.

These armies were undisciplined, and the vast majority of them were armed with very primitive weapons such as broadswords and spears.

With the exception of some cavalry armed with bows that might pose a threat to them, the others were almost indistinguishable from the natives of the Americas.

Seeing this, Gao Wenjin, who was originally uneasy because of the appearance of that powerful fleet, immediately settled down.

He didn't even think there had been any conspiracy involved.

Due to the difference between Eastern and Western civilizations, Western wars are more advocating the duel between knights.

When the Mongols marched westward, Westerners even scolded the Mongols for their mangu archery, believing that they had no chivalry.

It's better now, but it's not much better.

In today's terms, Westerners are all tendons.

There are simply too few battles in the history of Western warfare that have been won using intrigue and intrigue.

Seeing this, Gao Wenjin's mood became urgent, and he felt that he should go back and lead troops to defeat this enemy army as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once they have artillery support, this battle will be difficult to fight.

After seeing Lu Yan, Gao Wenjin immediately gave Lu Yan a standard gentleman's salute.

"Your Royal Highness, I am Gao Wenjin, the adjutant of General Raelson. We are deeply humble for this misunderstanding between the two of us. As long as you are willing to retire, we are willing to make appropriate compensation. ”

Gao Wenjin had a reserved smile on his face, but he unconsciously carried a hint of arrogance.

This is the pride that countless natives have been brought to them after killing them.

Only when the nations conquer each other can they be qualified to look down on Fang, and everything else is empty.

Just as Jews used to be rich, but there were many people who despised Jews.

It wasn't until the Jews beat the Arabs to the ground that the Jews were taken seriously.

However, Gao Wenjin's expression made Lu Yan feel a little unhappy.

"It's good if you're willing to compensate, I'll do the math, we have more than 500 dead, then let's round it up, and you will pay a total of 600,000 taels."

Lu Yan said with a strong smile.

"600,000 taels?"

Although Gao Wenjin had already guessed that Lu Yan was a very greedy person, he was still startled by his lion's wide opening mouth.

"600,000 taels is not too much, where are we going to get so much silver."

Gao Wenjin didn't think about paying the money at all, but he still dealt with it very hypocritically.

Hearing this, Lu Yan's face suddenly changed.

He slapped the table in front of him fiercely, then pointed at his nose and scolded, "Damn, you barbarians are really shameless things." If you lose money, it will give you face, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut off your head to make a night pot. ”

Pan Xiu was a little overwhelmed by Lu Yan's sudden turn of face, didn't she discuss it well? Why did you suddenly change your face.

Gao Wenjin was also a little confused, he didn't understand why Lu Yan suddenly got angry.

"Translate for me honestly, one word is missing, Lao Tzu cut off your head."

Lu Yan said to Pan Xiu.

Pan Xiu couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his head, this King of Qin was really too barbaric.

So he could only translate honestly.

After listening to Pan Xiu's translation, Gao Wenjin couldn't help but change color.

What a damn barbarian!

I dare to say that I am a barbarian, and I want to use my head to make a night pot.

Gao Wenjin's heart kept roaring.

His face turned extremely blue for a while, and Lu Yan looked at him coldly.

Jia Xu chuckled and clapped his hands, and soon a team of muscular men in leather armor walked in.

Everyone was holding a long knife and looked at Gao Wenjin with murderous faces.

As long as Lu Yan gave an order, they would divide Gao Wenjin's body with a knife.

This made Gao Wenjin sweat coldly, and he knew that if he really angered this person, these people would definitely cut off his head.

After all, it was a group of barbarian natives, and it was not surprising that the barbarian natives would do something to kill the messengers.

Thinking of this, Gao Wenjin held back his fear, and then tried to squeeze a smile out of his face.

"I don't think it's a big problem, it's just that we don't carry so much silver, and if we want to pay such a huge amount, we need to ship it from Batavia, and it will take at least two months. Your Excellency, please see if you have a little time. ”

It seemed that Gao Wenjin's obedience made Lu Yan feel very satisfied, so he nodded.

Those Iron Eagle Sharps also restrained their murderous aura a little, but they still looked at this damn guy viciously.

"Since you are willing to pay compensation, then this matter is settled. I have always been lenient with Gentiles, and I hope you will not make the same mistake next time. ”

Lu Yan said with a generous face.

Gao Wenjin scoffed at Lu Yan's words, and a group of natives actually regarded themselves as the Heavenly Empire.

Do they know how big the world is?

Now that a compensation agreement has been reached, the atmosphere at the scene has slowly eased.

Lu Yan ordered someone to bring wine and food, and Gao Wenjin carefully inquired about where their battleship came from while enjoying the wine and food.

Gao Wenjin was very interested in the origin of those battleships.

Of course, Lu Yan was tight-lipped about this, and he was sloppy.

Gao Wenjin was very dissatisfied with this, but he had nothing to do with Lu Yan.

Of course, Gao Wenjin also asked Lu Yan why he didn't deploy artillery here, which is also a very important question.

If he didn't ask clearly, Gao Wenjin would not be at ease to lead his troops to raid Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's answer was very simple, but it made Gao Wenjin angry!

Do you still need artillery against a group of barbarians?

This is Lu Yan's answer!

Although Gao Wenjin had a smile on his face, he had already scolded Lu Yan in his heart.

A bunch of damn arrogant natives!

Why do so many Ming people scold them as barbarians, is the Ming Dynasty noble?

Gao Wenjin had read "Marco Polo's Travels" before, so he still had a certain degree of affection for Daming.

But Lu Yan's arrogance destroyed all his favorability.

Although Gao Wenjin kept scolding in his heart, he still maintained a false smile on his surface.

After the two parties discussed the details of the compensation, Gao Wenjin left here.

Lü Yan also promised to evacuate the cavalry from the Hongmucheng fortress as well, and it seemed that Penghu Island would soon enter a state of peace.

After Gao Wenjin and Pan Xiu left, Lu Yan and Jia Xu both looked at their backs with sneers.

At this level, you dare to play intrigue with them.

Speaking of playing with intrigues, the Chinese can definitely be regarded as his ancestors.

*****

After returning to the Mahogany Cheng Fortress, Gao Wenjin told Raelson everything he had encountered.

"Believe me, Your Excellency. This is just a group of natives, their weapons are mainly spears and broadswords, and they are no different from the natives of the Americas, they are not our opponents at all. With just one charge, I can crush them. When we have captured the barbarian prince alive, we will exchange him for those mighty warships. ”

Gao Wenjin said eagerly.

Rayson didn't answer him right away, but looked at the cavalry outside the fortress.

At this time, those cavalry had already received the order to retreat, and they began to evacuate the fortress one after another.

Seeing that Raelsheng was still a little hesitant, Gao Wenjin felt very dissatisfied, when did the general's courage become so small.

In South America, their team of a few hundred men can defeat tens of thousands of indigenous armies, so what is the point of the Ming people.

"They must have believed me, as long as we take the opportunity to compensate them for the silver, and then make a sudden attack, we will definitely be able to capture that prince alive."

Gao Wenjin said again.

As if to confirm his words, a cavalry rushed from afar.

Then he shouted loudly: "Our prince asks you to pay the first amount of silver." ”

After saying that, he beat his horse and left here.

Relsen was a little dissatisfied with Gao Wenjin's self-assertions, and he should not have promised to compensate the enemy a huge amount of silver without his consent.

But he was eager to defeat the enemy in front of him.

As long as he defeated the enemy in front of him, he would be able to capture that terrible ship.

In this way, he was able to make a name for himself all over Europe, and even received a knighthood for it.

As soon as he thought of this, Raierson's heart was thrilled.

"Well, then, I allow you to lead five hundred, no, four hundred soldiers. You can launch a surprise attack on the enemy in the name of compensating the enemy. If you can, try to capture the prince alive. ”

Raelson said.

At present, there are more than 700 soldiers in Hongmucheng Fortress, and 400 soldiers have accounted for most of his soldiers.

"Yes, Your Excellency, please wait for my good news."

Gao Wenjin said with a smile.

After saying that, he went to select the soldiers, put them on iron armor and bronze helmets, and then walked out with several large boxes.

Of course, these chests are not filled with silver, but ordinary earth.

Raelsen watched them depart, and silently prayed to God that this time they would return victorious.

Soon they came to Magong Town, but to his surprise was that it was very quiet outside, and he didn't see the soldiers patrolling around.

"What's going on?"

Gao Wenjin thought secretly.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong, could it be a trap?

"Everyone is ready to fight!"

Gao Wenjin said loudly.

Hearing Gao Wenjin's order, the Dutch soldiers immediately put down their boxes and began to line up.

Of course, their firerope had already been lit, and Gao Wenjin would not make some low-level mistakes.

At this time, 200 cavalry suddenly rushed out from the east side of Magong Town.

The cavalry did not begin to charge, but rushed towards their flanks.

Seeing this, Gao Wenjin couldn't help but scold: "Damn, this is a trap!" ”

He did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the soldiers to start changing formations.

These Dutch soldiers immediately turned into a large circle of hollows to prevent the cavalry from launching a surprise attack from either side.

But in this way, their phalanx immediately became thin.

It became a phalanx with a hundred people in each direction and 20 people in each row.

Soon, 300 Yue Family Army God Arm Crossbowmen and 200 Qi Family Army Bird Men also rushed out.

They were followed by 50 Iron Eagle Warriors and a handful of sailors with swords and guns.

Lu Yan and Jia Xu followed behind them on war horses.

Jia Xu gently shook the paper fan, and then said with a look of contempt: "What a group of barbarians! ”

It seems that this group of Dutchmen has given him a great sense of accomplishment.

Seeing that the enemy had no artillery, Gao Wenjin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he still has hope of victory!

But those Qi family arms guns made him feel a lot of pressure.

There were only 240 musketeers in his ranks, and he didn't expect the enemy to have so many musketeers.

"Orientals are such a cunning bunch."

Gao Wenjin couldn't help but scold.

He wanted to retreat, but when he saw the cavalry cruising around the perimeter, he knew that it was impossible to retreat.

Otherwise, if they were negligent, they would be pursued by these cavalry and slaughtered them all.

This made Gao Wenjin feel very anxious, what should he do.

Do you have to defeat the enemy in front of you?

But soon his eyes lit up, because the enemy had placed the crossbowmen at the front of the line, and lined up in a line of 50 men each, a total of 6 rows.

Do they think that with these crossbowmen they can defeat their musketeers?

Gao Wenjin had a trace of doubt in his heart.

But looking at the appearance of the enemy, it seems that there is really a plan for this.

Then let them know how good the musketeers are!

Maybe he'll be able to crush the enemy's musketeers after defeating this crossbowman.

Gao Wenjin thought secretly.

He looked at his soldiers and saw that their faces were a little panicked.

So he hurriedly cheered them up and said, "Soldiers, we are now in a predicament. There is no way for us to retreat, or we will be chased by the cavalry and hacked to death. If you want to survive, the only way is to defeat the natives in front of you. Soldiers, are you afraid of these natives? Are you going to be killed by these savage natives or do you win a great victory with me. ”

"Kill them!"

"The devil is afraid of these natives!"

“……”

Some of the soldiers said.

As more and more soldiers showed their contempt, their morale gradually rose.

Yes, it's just a bunch of natives, and there's nothing terrible about these natives.

The Dutch, who roam the whole world, would be afraid of this native.

"So soldiers! Follow me! Defeat this enemy together! ”

Gao Wenjin shouted loudly with all the strength of his body.

"Kill them!"

"Kill all these natives!"

The Dutchmen shouted hoarsely.

Seeing that the morale was greatly boosted, Gao Wenjin nodded with satisfaction, and then walked forward with the team.

The 400 Dutch soldiers marched forward in neat steps, and they looked quite impressive.

However, Lu Yan's subordinates are all real elites, so how can they be frightened by this little scene.

They have all seen the charge of thousands of troops, and these are just small scenes.

They did not advance, but waited for the enemy to approach.

The armies on both sides approached rapidly.

Lu Yan watched all this quietly, and letting the Divine Arm Crossbowman fight the Musketeer was just an idea for him.

Theoretically, the Divine Arm Crossbowman could defeat the Musketeer.

Because the effective range of the Divine Arm Crossbow is enough to reach 240 paces, it can still shoot half an arrow into the elm wood at a distance of 240 steps.

The phalanx of musketeers was very dense, and it was not difficult to shoot those musketeers.

The Musketeers, on the other hand, were only able to inflict heavy damage on unarmored targets at a distance of 100 paces.

These crossbowmen were all dressed in heavy armor weighing up to 30 kilograms, and were able to withstand musket fire at a distance of 100 paces.

In other words, in order to hit the crossbowman, the Dutch musketeer had to brave a rain of arrows to advance a distance of 140 paces.

In the process, it is absolutely possible to inflict fatal damage on the Dutch.

Therefore, Lu Yan placed great hopes on the Divine Arm Crossbowman.

Hopefully, they will be able to beat the Dutch in this battle.
