8-62 Temasek
The pirates who were active in the Temasek Strait mainly came from the nearby indigenous fishermen, Sumatra and Java, which was later Indonesia, in the desert of the marginal culture of civilization at that time, a Ming merchant ship ran aground in this vicinity a few years ago, and the natives easily grabbed a lot of gold, silver and porcelain, and since then it has been out of control, and after these years of exhibition, several large pirate teams have been formed.
The pirates raided by chasing down the slow ships that were laden with cargo and jumping on board to kill all the sailors, loot the valuables, and then incinerate the prey.
Zhao Wen is right, these Javanese monkeys are simply brutes, compared to them, the pirate peers in Xiniu Hezhou are simply like gentlemen.
In recent months, there have been warships escorting merchant ships, and the pirates have not opened for a long time, and today there are finally two fat sheep-like merchant ships, and the pirates have flocked out, and the four have joined forces to do this transaction, and the Black Swan is a typical Western mail ship style, and this kind of ship is the most suitable for the pirates, because in addition to a large amount of gold and silver, they can also grab white, tender, and delicate Caucasian women.
The ship in the back is also very attractive, looking at its deep waterline, you can guess that it is loaded with a lot of goods, these cloth and porcelain from the Orient are easy to change hands, and the good ones are very good, it seems that today's deal is really big.
The pirates, carried away by the excitement, didn't bother with the black holes on the Black Swan's side.
Of course, relying on their simple minds and limited knowledge, it is impossible to know that these black guys are the latest big killers.
The four pirate ships approached the prey quickly, and the monkeys climbed on the mast densely, and when they got close to a certain distance, they put the mast on the other party's ship, and they swarmed up, killing and plundering like crazy.
As they drew closer, the pirates seemed to have seen the treasure and the woman beckoning to them, and they excitedly stabbed their daggers in their mouths and prepared to jump.
At this time, the Black Swan had also stopped advancing, there was no one on the deck, it seemed that the sailors had been frightened, the two ships clamped the Black Swan on the left and the right, and when they were about to put down the mast, suddenly a roar sounded, and the eyes were full of fiery flames, the pirate ship was smashed to pieces without reacting, and the people on the mast were blown to pieces by the shells, and they didn't understand what was going on, just out of the sky, the two ships disappeared into the sea almost instantly, and even Liu Ziguang was a little shocked, and the imitation ability of the Song people was too strong, and the artillery they created was even more powerful than the artillery of the Nanjing Arsenal!
The two pirate ships besieging the troop carrier behind them did not catch any good fruit to eat, and when they were more than ten feet away from the troop carrier, they suddenly saw this unarmed ship
A large number of well-equipped soldiers swarmed out of the cabin of the "cargo ship", and the pirates were suddenly amazed, and the short knives in their mouths almost fell out!
This was their last thought, and before they could turn the bow of the ship, they heard someone on the cargo ship shouting in Chinese: "Raise your gun, aim and release!" "The troop carrier is not equipped with artillery, but more than 200 flint guns are more than enough for the pirates who stayed in the era of semi-primitive and semi-cold weapons, the first salvo will shoot down dozens of pirates lying on the mast like a bird, and then the second and third salvos, the small leader and helmsman of the pirate ship have been killed, no one controls the ship, the monkeys had to jump into the water to escape, but even in the water, they could not get rid of the pursuit of lead bullets, the officer ordered free shooting, the cadets kept reloading and firing, reloading and firing, mercilessly slaughtering the remnants of the enemy, one by one, their faces flushed with excitement。
Not long after, the two pirate ships were also wiped out, and there were logs, corpses, and miscellaneous debris floating everywhere in the water, and from time to time there was a muffled sound of firecrackers fired by the soldiers, who were cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
Hua was speechless, blew the smoking gun, inserted the short gun back into his waist, and said to Xie Long, who was still shooting with an excited face beside him: "How about it, Big Brother is right, just kill a few people, in fact, this war is similar to playing." Xie Long loaded the bullet again, but after aiming for a long time, there was nothing to shoot, so he put away the fire and said: "What Brother Hua said is that I have only shot wild boars before, and it is the first time to shoot people, in fact, it is similar to shooting wild boars." ”
"I'll just say, it's good to kill a few more people, it's okay, it's okay, just smoke one and settle down." Hua Wuyu took out a cigarette case and scattered cigarettes for the students, who had just experienced the first killing in their lives, each of them took a cigarette and stood on the deck, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, feeling like they were already veterans of a hundred battles.
From the appearance of the pirate ship to the end of the battle, there was not a quarter of an hour, and the Black Swan sent a few small boats to continue to hunt and kill the pirates who fell into the water, trying to eliminate all traces, even the wreckage floating on the water, and fortunately no ships passed by this time, except for the seabirds in the sky, no one knew that there had been a short but tragic naval battle here.
Wiped out this unsightly pirate black swan formation, never again in trouble, all the way to the outskirts of Temasek Island, where the waterways are very busy, and the Spanish-flagged Black Swan with troop carriers is very inconspicuous in the middle of it, close to Temasek's port - Singapore.
There are countless merchant ships moored in the port, the mast is like a forest, and there are mountains of goods piled up on the shore, and there are a large number of cargo ships waiting to enter the port outside the port, which shows the prosperity of the port.
The time was approaching evening, and the harbor was lit up with dazzling arc lights, and through the clairvoyant mirror, you could see Western soldiers wearing armor and holding Zhuge crossbows guarding the freight yard.
"The equipment is very advanced, there are two people who combine Chinese and Western, and there are more than 40 people who can see it." Liu Ziguang put down the clairing mirror and said.
"Don't count them, they are the troops of the East India Company of England, there are 400 people stationed in Temasek, well-equipped and well-trained, but they are not our enemies, we have to deal with only a hundred guards of the king of the earth, we just need to disguise themselves as princely state troops, for the war between the local princely states, the English will not interfere, as long as the people in power do not oppose their free port policy." Zhao Wen explained.
"Okay, when it gets dark, we'll do it, and when Temasek is occupied, I'll free up a few thousand people to guard against those Westerners here, and if they don't obey, they will have to be obedient." Liu Ziguang said confidently.
When night came, the merchant ships waiting outside the harbor saw that they had no chance to enter the harbor and garrison, so they lowered anchor one after another, rested, lit lamps and cooked pots, and no one noticed that an inconspicuous Spanish three-masted ship and an even more inconspicuous cargo ship had quietly broken away from the brigade and sailed in the direction of the palace.
Temasek is a small island the size of a palm, and ten miles from the port is the royal palace of the ruler of Temasek, the king of the princely states of Alabama, which is an Indian-style building, but the material is mainly wood, far less ornate than the Central Plains Palace, and it is dark from a distance.
Zhao Wen took the topographical map of the palace and said: "The king's one hundred and twenty guards live in the palace, and at this time they have already fallen asleep, and only twenty guards are on duty at night, and their weapons are scimitars, blow arrows, and spears, which are guarded at the gate and the four corner towers respectively, and if they are solved, they are equivalent to taking down the horse armor Dora." Liu Ziguang nodded and said: "The simpler the task, the more you can't take it lightly, pass on my order, let the students send fifty people to attack the palace, and then send fifty people as reinforcements, and the rest of the people will be the general reserve, and the artillery will be filled up and ready to bombard the palace at any time." "A hundred heavily armed cadets disembarked from the troop transports and rowed to the shore in dinghys, and there was no moonlight tonight, and even if the palace guards were aware of the sea, the attackers would not be visible.
After the first wave of soldiers landed on the shore, they quickly hid into the nearby coconut grove and waited for the arrival of the follow-up troops. Such an exciting military adventure, of course, Liu Ziguang had to come to the front line to command, Zhao Wen was not to be outdone, don't hang a long sword and follow Liu Ziguang, a husband and wife posture, they boarded the second wave of men and horses together, 6 After the troops went ashore, the troops quickly launched four sniper teams, responsible for solving the sentry on the corner tower, a door-breaking group responsible for seizing the gate, and then trying to control the armed personnel in the palace as quietly as possible, and strive for fewer dead or even no dead to solve the battle.
The iron helmets of the cadets were painted with black paint, and their faces were also painted with plant juice, and they were still wearing the white flying fish suits they wore when they participated in the wedding, but they had been made unable to see a trace of white after days of travel and arduous military training, but they just matched the characteristics of camouflage uniforms, especially suitable for the needs of urban jungle warfare in the coastal cities of the South Pacific.
The hearts of the scholars were surging, because they knew that they were about to fight side by side with Liu Dashuai, and this inconspicuous building in front of them was actually a royal palace.
In the future, even if you join the red shirt group, you don't have to worry about lack of qualifications. Liu Ziguang didn't do any complicated pre-war mobilization, he whispered to the five small flags: "Tell the little ones, don't fight hard, pay attention to your own defense, kill those who resist if you encounter them, and never tolerate them, if you can catch the living king, it is best to kill him if he can't, and you must not let him escape, just do it." ”
