Chapter 846: Fighting lightly

"Herald, prepare to land!"

Wallace's face was visibly excited. He did not expect that the attack on Beisan Island, or rather the gamble, would be so smooth that it would have the effect of taking it by surprise, and judging from the current situation, after several rounds of shelling, the island's defenses were clearly on the verge of collapse.

He put away the clairvoyant mirror and for the first time examined the general manager with a heartfelt appreciation. In the past, in Wallace's eyes, this was just a clown who was obscene and funny, and His Excellency the Marquis made him a deputy chief soldier because he valued his Han identity and used it to spy on himself. Although Wallace was a Scottish, he was not completely ignorant of the art of maneuvering in the East.

"He Junmen, if you succeed in today's battle, this marshal will ask the Marquis of Zhenyu for your first credit!"

Wallace learned the style of the Ming Dynasty commander-in-chief, but He Bin looked at him curiously as if he didn't know him. He Bin He had been treated so courteously by Wallace, and since the two cooperated, although Wallace was not as difficult as he was when He Lan was in He Lan, he always replaced him with a contemptuous attitude after all. Today, it is unprecedented to call He Bin a military gate, which is unprecedented. It's no wonder that He Bin thought there was something wrong with his ears. It wasn't until Wallace spoke up again that He Bin confirmed that it wasn't his ears that were wrong.

"He Junmen, the next landing battle will be up to you."

The Pingbo fleet was not entirely sailors, and since the beginning of the fleet's establishment, a new army was recruited with the goal of conquering cities and territories, and these people were fishermen who lived by the sea, made a living from the sea, and were familiar with the habits of the sea. Whenever there is a landing battle to seize the island, it is better than those landlubbers who vomit when they get on the boat. Li Xin also realized that most of the Three Guards were northerners, and even the new army, which was dominated by Jiangnan people, was difficult to adapt to the turbulence of the big ships at sea, so he instructed Wallace and He Bin to form a full-time landing combat foot soldiers.

At first, this kind of water infantry only recruited one battalion, and later at the suggestion of the town marquis, a battalion was selected from the new army of the Three Guards to supplement the water footmen, and the combat methods and training methods of the two battalions in peacetime were also very different, the first battalion was completely familiar with the traditional combat methods that He Bin was familiar with, and the second battalion was adapted to the ocean going to sea, and the rest were all based on the musket phalanx tactics of the Three Guards.

Small boats were lowered from the big boats into the rough sea, and the small boats were filled with foot soldiers waiting to land and land.

He Bin was born in Eighteen Zhi and was very familiar with the local pirate warfare methods in Fujian, but what he saw in the monocular was far from what he was familiar with, and he was almost 100% sure of this level of defense, as long as he waved his foot soldiers and landed on the shore, Yang Liu's troops would definitely be defeated. This is not the pirate in He Bin's impression, is it possible that since Zheng Zhilong led his cronies Zhao'an, Liu Xiang and other giants to die one after another, even the pirates have been in a state of collapse since then?

But in any case, it was a rare good thing that the Pingbo fleet was able to achieve victory at the minimum cost. It's just that He Bin, who was born as a pirate, was a little embarrassed and sighed, sighing that the world has changed over time, the past is gone, and the days when the pirates wantonly did what they wanted on the southeast coast have become history.

As soon as the last salvo was over, the big ship immediately aimed its guns at the pirate ships anchored in the sheltered bay. After a series of indiscriminate bombardments, I saw 100 small boats of the Haikou flying in an instant, and it was terrible to see.

Due to the fog and smoke of the sea, it is not possible to see the whole process very clearly from the big ship. Wallace and He Bin could only judge the progress of the battle by the constant sound of guns and battles. The battle lasted for about an hour, until the cannon sounded rhythmically, and the people who were anxiously waiting on the big ship burst into cheers.

The sound of the trumpet came to mean the end of the battle. While the prisoners were counted, Yang Liu, who was seriously wounded, was escorted to the flagship. Yang Liu is a rising star in these years, and after becoming famous on the sea, he was chased and beaten by the Zheng family's sailors, and later had to surrender to the Zheng family, becoming one of Zheng Zhilong's watchdogs and thugs to protect coastal interests.

"Junmen, this guy was cut off by their own people in the infighting, and it's funny to say, when our people landed on the shore, he was being kidnapped by a Japanese robber with a knife! Later, the widow was killed by an arrow from one of our people, and this guy picked up a dog and came back. ”

Hearing the process of the battle, Wallace and He Bin couldn't help but laugh dumbly, thinking of the nervousness before the battle, they both felt a little funny at this time. After all, it was the first time for them to go to sea alone to sweep the land, so there was still a lot of pressure, and now that they won the first battle, most of the previous pressure naturally disappeared.

"Yang Liu, why are there still widows on your island?"

Looking at Yang Liu, who was weak, He Bin didn't want to waste more time, for fear that he would be seriously injured and die, and he would not be able to interrogate him if he had any inside information in the future.

Yang Liu's bones were still quite stiff, and he sneered a few times, turning over and over with only one sentence.

"Lao Tzu is this rotten life, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!"

Wallace was furious and immediately ordered someone to execute Yang Liu, who was already dying. However, He Bin quickly stopped Wallace, "The military gate can't be used, and if you whip a few more whips, this Yang Liu will have to die, and I'm afraid that we won't get the news we want at that time." ”

Wallace listened to the persuasion for the first time, and if it had been in the past, he would definitely do the opposite. He Bin knows best about these pirates who are begging for a living at sea, and they are generally either slippery wall grass, and they follow their masters just to sell them for a good price one day. The other type is hard bones, and the right thing is that ten cows can't pull it back.

Therefore, He Bin didn't plan to use force, but just wanted to make a final effort in a gentle way.

"Yang Liu, do you know who I am?"

Yang Liu, who was shrunk on the deck, rolled his pale eyelids weakly, "Which one are you?" What does it have to do with Lao Tzu? ”

"Bold, this is our He Junmen! Back then, it was also registered in the eighteenth Zhili, and when He Junmen crisscrossed the sea, you didn't know where to dig the soil! ”

"He Junmen?" Yang Liu glanced at He Bin with disdain, "You are the same He Bin who voted for the Dutch?" Why, now it has become a military gate again? It seems that the official army is mixing well. Bah! You are a grass on the wall, no cowards......" Yang Liu cursed vaguely, and then laughed at him: "You are not qualified to talk to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu only asks you to give Lao Tzu a good time." ”

It was Yang Liu's rampant attitude that made He Bin change his original intention of saying good words and comforting, and instead sneered: "Just want to die quickly? Ben Shuai will not let you die quickly, not only can you not die quickly, but also escort you to Nanjing and hand you over to the town marquis for trial. ”

Yang Liuqiang made a spirit and said-for-tat: "So what? It's just a big deal, so what's the fear? In this way, Lao Tzu still earned, after all, he still had a few more days to live. ”

He Bin was not annoyed, but smiled and talked to him.

"You may not know the way to deal with the collusion of the Japanese marquis......" Speaking of this, He Bin deliberately paused and stared at Yang Liu, which made Yang Liu shudder for no reason, and subconsciously asked: "Disposal?" What to do? ”

He Bin grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, the marquis of Zhenyu caught the Japanese and the traitors who colluded with the Japanese invaders, they must be ...... like knocking pigs" At the same time, He Bin raised the five fingers of his right hand and put them together into a knife, and gestured between Yang Liu's crotch.

"Got it? As long as you traitors collude with the Japanese invaders, life is better than death! ”

"You, kill me!"

Yang Liu was a little hairy by He Bin's laughter, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of this kind of life that was worse than death and lost his dignity.

He Bin stared at Yang Liu with a complicated expression, knowing that although this person was not afraid of death, he also had a strong desire to win, which made him both seek death and kill himself calmly.

"The military law of the Three Guards is strict, and the commander will not lynch the prisoner, and the commander will not only not want you to die, but also send someone to treat you well, so that you can't wait to enjoy the treatment of knocking pigs."

"You despicable villain, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu fought with you!"

But this kind of weak cruel words could not be lethal to anyone on the ship, because Yang Liu was so weak that even a six-year-old child could easily be put to death.

Long before months. Zheng Zhilong issued a military order to recruit men and horses, and the yamen of various departments in Fujian opened the door to this, and they all cooperated with each other, and soon a large army of 50,000 people was recruited, and at the same time, it was claimed to be 100,000 horses. After months of training, they are now basically formed, and unlike the foot soldiers that Zheng Sen took away before, these are all newcomers who have never been on the battlefield.

Zheng Zhilong was reluctant to send him to the battlefield easily, but the envoy sent to Hangzhou for the second time was inexplicably driven back, he didn't know what happened to Li Xin, but his intuition told him that if he conceded again, he could only bring humiliation on himself, so he took decisive measures and decided to treat others in his own way.

The so-called driving of tigers and devouring wolves may not only be used by the Three Guards, he Zheng Zhilong can play very thoroughly.

Just an hour ago, Zheng Zhilong had already issued a military order for the assembly of men and horses, and all the soldiers were ready to go.

At this time, Zheng Cai rushed over with a roar, a few days ago the fleet went out, I don't know why he actually took sick leave on the grounds of cold and heat, which made Zheng Zhilong very dissatisfied, but his younger brother Zheng Lian was eager to fight, which made Zheng Zhilong quite satisfied.

Looking at Zheng Cai's ruddy complexion, which looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, the unhappiness in Zheng Zhilong's heart was already faintly fermenting. However, he also knew that he didn't need to be angry because of these trivial things, but his attitude was still inevitably a little cold.

However, as soon as Zheng Cai opened his mouth, the diagnosis and treatment dragon's brows furrowed a little.

"Dashuai, my Zheng family must not easily start a war with Li Xin on land!"
