Chapter 211: Waitou Bay

As soon as the beacon on the other side of Weitou lit the beacon fire, the Qianhu City on Kinmen Island and the inspection department city immediately learned the news, and several beacons on the shore soon saw the sea wolf fleet that appeared on the sea north of the island, so they immediately lit the beacon fire.

Sitting on Kinmen Island is just a patrol at the moment, because the thousand general manager who entered the Qianhu Institute is not in the city of Kinmen Qianhu at this time, and this Qianzong was transferred by Yu Zhigao this time to go to Nanri Island with the army, but now his life and death are uncertain, and he can only sit here temporarily by this inspection.

Originally, when the Kinmen Thousand Households were first built in the Hongwu period, there were still hundreds of officers and soldiers stationed on the island, but with the passage of time, the number of guards in the Thousand Households became smaller and smaller, including those who escaped and those who were desperate, so that when the Kinmen Thousand Households arrived in the Apocalypse years, they were already in vain, and there were less than 300 guards left in the entire Kinmen Thousand Households, but this time Yu Zhigao led the army to fight and transferred more than 100 people from here, so that there were less than 200 guards left on the entire Kinmen Island.

These guards are said to be soldiers, but in fact, they are basically serfs of officers, but they have just a reputation as soldiers, and they are even inferior to ordinary people, they have to be exploited by their superiors for generations, and those officers of the guards, after so many years of hereditary inheritance, are already very few, and have basically become some landlords who have hung up their military posts.

Therefore, by this year, the system of health centers has already collapsed, so that the health centers in various localities have basically lost their ability to fight, and even the combat effectiveness of the township warriors formed by some villages and towns on their own is not as good as that.

When he learned that the sea wolf fleet appeared near Kinmen Island, the patrol who stayed behind was so frightened that he quickly ordered the gates on all sides of the guard to be closed, and called the guards to garrison the city, he actually didn't expect these guards to block the attack of the sea wolf, he actually counted on the sea wolf not to attack Kinmen Island this time.

As we all know, the current Haicheng is also the Moon Port, which is the only officially open foreign trade port in the Ming Dynasty, so it has always been a place of concern for the pirates, but as the gateway to Haicheng, the Kinmen Thousand Households and the Zhongzuo Office are not valued by the pirates.

The central left and Kinmen Island have also become temporary resting places for the pirates, and even in normal times, the pirates' ships will go to the Weitou side to take shelter from the wind, and the local defenders not only do not expel them, but on the contrary, they can also make it convenient, do some business with the pirates, and provide some supplies and fresh water for the pirates.

So now this patrol guarding Kinmen Island, I didn't think about defending the city of Kinmen Qianhu at all, but secretly prayed that the sea wolf came here this time, and he was going to Yuegang, and he would not come to provoke them.

However, the people of the Thousand Households of Kinmen obviously miscalculated, the fleet of the sea wolves did not bypass Kinmen Island, went straight to the head of the bay, and went to the moon port, but went straight to the Kinmen Island, and stopped the ship on the shore.

Soon the sea wolf began to unload batches of sea wolf troops from the big ship, it is obvious that these sea wolf people are a group of very well-trained personnel, although the sea wolf docked position, there is no dock, personnel ashore, basically use a small boat ferry ashore, but from a distance, you can see that the sea wolf unloading personnel are well organized, and the action is very fast.

Moreover, on several troop carriers of the sea wolf, rope nets were hung on both sides of the ship, and the personnel carried their respective equipment, climbed down the rope nets, quickly went down to the boat, and then quickly ferried to the shore.

The people who went ashore first immediately dispersed in an organized manner, controlled the commanding heights around them, and quickly took down a beacon nearby, and several soldiers in this beacon did not resist at all, and were arrested by the sea wolf tribe and escorted to the shore to begin interrogation.

In just a few moments, the Sea Wolf troops took control of a large area of the beachhead to clear the way for the subsequent landers, and some boats patrolled along the coastline, ready to support the landers.

The follow-up landing personnel landed in an orderly manner, and the fleet also used a large sampan to unload two cannons, and sent them to the shore together, dragged by the people of the Sea Wolf Department, and after forming a team, they quickly headed towards the city of Thousand Households in Kinmen.

The number of Seawolf landing personnel is not large, about 300 people, that is, an infantry company of Seawolf plus an artillery platoon, but this strength is still far more than the strength of the official army stationed in Qianhusuo City in Kinmen.

When he saw that the sea wolf began to land and was heading towards the city of Thousand Households in Kinmen, the patrol of this town was so frightened that he hurriedly called the officers and soldiers in the city and the young men to garrison the city, ready to resist the attack of the sea wolf troops.

However, before their arrangement was completed, the two Western-style plywood boats of the sea wolf had already sailed close to the shore of the Kinmen Thousand Households Castle, and two other Daifuku boats also sailed to the Kinmen Thousand Households Castle together, and the gun doors on the side of the ship were opened one after another, and the muzzles of a cannon were pushed to the gun gates, pointing to the Kinmen Thousand Households Castle.

As the gateway to Haicheng, the city of Kinmen Thousand Households is regarded as an important place for soldiers, and the government also attaches great importance to it.

And this Hongyi cannon is considered a heavy cannon, probably the concept of an eighteen-pound cannon, the cannon body is very heavy, up to about 3,000 catties, it is a cast iron cannon.

But the problem is that this cannon has only been transported to the city of Qianhusuo in Kinmen for a few days, and it was only two days before the sea wolf came here that it was hoisted onto the fort of the city wall.

Now this cannon has not completed the whole training at all, and the gunner has not had time to test the gun, so the sea wolf rushed to Kinmen Island, looking at the sea wolf so many ships, and even two Western-style large plywood boats, the garrison here has long been frightened, although the patrol inspector in the town shouted for his officers and soldiers to prepare to open fire, but those officers and soldiers were all cowering, but no one dared to touch this Hongyi cannon.

Because everyone saw that the big ships that the sea wolf approached the shore were loaded with a lot of cannons, and they only had such a Hongyi cannon at their disposal, and the largest of the rest of the cannons were two copper hairs, which were not small, but the range was limited and the power was not great, and the rest were a few dilapidated exterminators, compared with the sea wolf's fleet, their firepower was too weak.

Usually if you scare and scare a small group of pirates, their cannons can still play a little role, but if you want to fight the sea wolf cannons, they don't have any confidence at all.

The men and horses of the sea wolf landing quickly advanced to the outside of the Thousand Households City of Kinmen, about three or four miles away, temporarily stopped advancing, and began to rest on the spot, but they sent a person to gallop to the south gate of the Thousand Households City, standing outside the city gate and shouting loudly with a loudspeaker to the city: "The people inside listen, we are sea wolves, now come and take here, wait for two quarters of an hour, decide whether to fight or surrender, after two quarters of an hour, if you do not wait for the city to surrender, we will start to attack, and when the time comes, we will attack the city, Kill and wait for a chicken dog to stay!

As long as you surrender, we can guarantee that no one will be killed, and your property will be protected, and the sea wolf will do what it says! Hugh hesitate, surrender quickly! We're just waiting for you for two quarters of an hour, and we're not waiting for you to get out of time! ”

As soon as the words fell, the Sea Wolf tribe turned around and left without hesitation, and without even having time to report to the officers and soldiers stationed in the city, they rushed back to the main formation of the Sea Wolf Landing Force.

The patrol in the city was pale at this time, he was scared on the one hand, and angry on the other, he felt that although the sea wolf was powerful, it was too arrogant, and he actually let them open the city and surrender within two quarters of an hour, which was simply unacceptable! After all, they represent officials, and sea wolves are thieves, where can there be such a light surrender thief as an official?

But what can you do without surrendering? He just sent a few people to flee to the shore to drive a small boat, and ordered him to quickly go to Tong'an County on land to ask for help, and report to Yuegang, asking his colleagues in Yuegang to send someone to help.

But soon he heard several cannon shots on the sea southwest of the Thousand Households, and the sharp-eyed man immediately pointed to the sea and shouted, "My lord! The sea wolf has sunk the ship we sent out! ”

Everyone looked intently, and sure enough, there were a few clouds of gunpowder smoke rising from the sea, and the small boat that quickly escaped from Kinmen Island had capsized in the sea at this time, and the people on board had little chance of survival.

Looking at the entire surrounding area of Kinmen Island, at this time, it has been blocked by various ships of the sea wolf, and at the place of the wharf on the west side of Kinmen Island, the ships of the sea wolf have also appeared, and several ships of the sea wolf have begun to fire one after another over there.

On the pier of Kinmen Island, three small and medium-sized warships of officers and soldiers were also parked, as well as a dozen fishing boats and two merchant ships, which were being shelled by sea wolves.

Some of these ships on the dock wanted to pull out the anchor and sail to escape from here, but before they could leave the dock, they were shot one after another, and had to drop anchor again and hang the white flag.

At this time, Kinmen Island has been completely blocked by the sea wolf fleet and has become an isolated island, and it is basically impossible to get the support of reinforcements, because after the end of the Nanri Island War, there are not many officers and troops that can be taken out in the whole of Fujian now, and the Kinmen Institute, Zhongzuo Institute, Gaopu Institute, Fuquan Institute and even Yongningwei and Chongwu Institute in the area around Weitou Bay have not many garrisons now, and the garrisons in these places, together, I am afraid that there will not exceed 2,000 people.

Therefore, self-protection is not enough everywhere, and there is a lack of war ships, and there is no possibility of coming to the rescue of Kinmen.
