6-27 Grandma's Penghu Bay
6 Three more submarines floated up in a horned manner, surrounding the largest submarine of the Black Pearl, and a dinghy was lowered, and seven or eight men in dark blue naval uniforms rowed over the dinghy.
This is very strange, a large number of submarines of the Song Navy suddenly appeared and stopped the attack of the Spaniards, is it for this pirate ship?
Liu Ziguang was very puzzled, but under the coercion of the four submarines, he did not dare to shoot at the brigade and Song Navy that climbed up, and it was impossible to say whether they were friends or foes.
The first to climb up were two young officers, then a middle-aged general in his forties with gray temples, followed by several soldiers with swords, their uniforms were slightly different from the uniforms of the Song Dynasty Navy that Liu Ziguang had seen, there were golden dragon patterns on the buttons and epaulettes, the swords at the waist were in the shape of the Longquan sword, the snow-white gloves and the clean foundation soap boots were all different.
When the pirates saw the officer on board, they all laid down their weapons and knelt on both sides, the middle-aged officer snorted and ignored them, only glanced at Liu Ziguang from the corner of his eye, and then walked towards the cabin without saying a word.
Liu Ziguang was afraid that he would be unfavorable to Duguwen, and just wanted to follow up, but was blocked by two young officers, pointed at Liu Ziguang threateningly with his fingers, and then followed up in the cabin, Liu Ziguang smiled and did not continue to follow.
The three officers walked into the cabin, and the other brigade Song sailors held the hilt of their swords, staring at the Ming soldiers, and the brothers of the red-shirted regiment naturally did not show weakness, and glared back viciously, and the firearm in their hands was aimed at each other intentionally or unintentionally, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Liu Ziguang was not worried, because he heard the voice of the officer after entering the cabin just now, obviously it was the sound of kowtowing and bowing, it seemed that this Dugu Wen had a great background, she must be from the royal family of the Song Dynasty, is she a princess, and it will be safe if she is blocked by a princess.
There was a whisper in the cabin, as if they were arguing about something, then the sound of falling things, and then who was whispering and persuading, and finally Dugu Wen walked out of the cabin accompanied by the old officer, Dugu Wen pulled her little face, and wore a black navy cloak on her body, and walked across the deck without saying a word, and saw her come out, except for Liu Ziguang's men, everyone was kneeling to greet her.
When Duguwen walked past Liu Ziguang, she paused slightly, her eyes swept over, and her eyes seemed to be sad.
"The Black Pearl is for you." Dugu Wen said in a low voice, and then left without looking back. Liu Ziguang hugged his fist at Dugu Wen's back: "Thank you Dugu Boss for a period later." Duguwen's body seemed to shake, but she didn't look back and continued to walk forward, and she disembarked with the support of the sailors.
"Who came to talk about you, Ming army hundreds." A person shouted at Liu Ziguang in official dialect with a Fujian accent.
Liu Ziguang turned his face and pointed at his nose in surprise: "Call me?" ”
"Yes, I told you to come and get the reward." It was a brigade Song officer who spoke, holding a red velvet bag in his hand, which was heavy and seemed to have a lot of goods.
The people of the Song Dynasty also had a basis for believing that Liu Ziguang was a hundred households in the Ming army, and it was usually a sailor officer who controlled a small boat and had one hundred and ten brothers under his command to be at the level of one hundred households.
Liu Ziguang simply pretended to be the general manager and walked over and asked, "What's the reward?" The officer threw the bag over: "This hundred gold coins are a reward for your meritorious rescue of this ship, hurry up and take your people back to Fujian, after we leave, the Spaniards will not let you go." Liu Ziguang took the heavy money bag and said loudly: "Thank you, the princess should help if she is in trouble." If you give money, you will see the outside, and you will not be an example. ”
"Princess?" The officer glanced at Liu Ziguang in surprise, but after all, he didn't say anything, shrugged his shoulders and left.
The pirates on the Black Pearl also disembarked with the Song people, and a group of people got into the submarine and unfurled the sails, sailed on the water, and went straight south, leaving only Liu Ziguang and his gang to guard the lonely Black Pearl.
It was getting late, the Mixed River Dragon sent out to reconnoiter the Penghu Islands had not returned, the boiler pipes of the Black Pearl had not been repaired, the Song people had left, the Spaniards might come at any time, and the weapons on the ship had also run out, how could this be good, I was worried that the shadow of a periscope suddenly appeared on the water in the distance, and it seemed that he was hesitant and did not dare to approach.
"It may be that the mixed river dragon is back, and the signal is coming." With Liu Ziguang's order, the signal soldier rushed to the side of the ship, made a few circles with an oil lamp, and issued a password command to the submarine.
Sure enough, it was the mixed river dragon back, Yang Nanzhen, Guo Huaiyi, they successfully completed the reconnaissance mission, and returned home, but now the mother ship is gone, only a black Western ship and four submarines with a greater tonnage than the mixed river dragon, so they didn't dare to approach, only watched from a distance, and at this moment, they saw the light signal from the ship, and then they leaned over.
The two sides joined forces, and the technical soldiers on the submarine helped repair the boiler pipes, and the Black Pearl dragged the mixed river dragon back.
Seven days later, Xiamen and Quanzhou simultaneously attacked the Penghu Islands, and 100 warships set sail, plowing out snow-white waves on the blue sea, and the airships and hot air balloons that covered the sky and the sun moved forward under the towing of the high-powered warships.
Most of these more than 100 ships are not warships that can fight directly, but support ships carrying 6 soldiers and food and grass materials, and at the forefront are the vanguard of this battle, the Shanghai Naval Division, the Shanghai Flying Mothership, under the escort of several steam gunboats, riding the wind and waves, majestic and majestic, Liu Ziguang put on a black face and red tweed cloak, standing at the bow of the ship, looking down on the wind and clouds, and a group of lieutenants standing behind him, holding his chest high and waiting for dispatch at any time.
Looking at the huge fleet in the waves and the 6 battlefields, the feeling of seeing the millions of ironclad heroes has its own similarities, which can make people's hearts surging and their fighting spirit high.
"Twenty miles ahead is the Penghu order, so that the whole army is on alert!" Liu Ziguang said.
"Yes!" The flag officer behind him immediately turned around and shouted out the order, and then the signal soldier on the flagship passed the order to the other ships with flags and whistles, and for a time the whole fleet was boiling, the whistle sounded for a long time, the conch blew violently, the herald soldiers shouted hoarsely, the 6 soldiers stood up, sorted out their outfits and weapons, and the gunners began to carry out the last weapon inspection, and the hundreds of households and thousands of households of each ship all stood in the command position with a serious expression, waiting for the big battle that was about to explode.
However, the Spanish ship did not appear as imagined, on the contrary, there was no shadow of an enemy ship on the calm sea, and the direction of the pier on Penghu Island was quiet, as if the Spaniards were still sleeping.
Liu Ziguang smiled reservedly: "Order the fleet to sail all over the world and act according to the established plan." "So far, the Spaniards have not appeared, indicating that the special operations team sent in advance has been successful, and the water ghosts and mines transported by the submarine for the second time have been wielded, blowing up and sinking the Spanish ships that wanted to leave the port to fight, and blocking the channel, causing other warships in the port to be unable to get out.
The fleet continued to move forward, and the lighthouse of Penghu could already be seen in the distance, and there were several thick puffs of black smoke rising into the air, looking through the sky with a clairvoyant scope, the Spanish warships were all parked in the harbor and did not move.6 The fortresses and barracks on the ground were all emitting black smoke, and it seemed that they had been attacked.
"The heavenly soldiers sent out to blow up the ships in the harbor and bombarded the forts and batteries until they raised the white flag." Liu Ziguang said.
The airship dragged the hot air balloon away from the fleet, and took the lead in Penghu, all kinds of bombs and missiles were already in place, just waiting to taste the blood of the Spaniards, the fleet was divided into two routes, one was escorted by warships, and the 6th fleet was escorted to seize the beach, and the other continued to monitor the Spaniards in the harbor.
The bombs dropped by the huge airships destroyed their confidence in resisting, this kind of giant bomb with simple structure, cheap but extremely powerful, is filled with black powder in a large iron can, plus a fuse, and can blow up a battleship to pieces, even if the bunkers made of stones on the shore can not withstand this kind of bombardment, the bunkers will blow up the bunkers to pieces, sharp stone fragments fly everywhere, and the Spanish soldiers cry and cry for their mothers, and they can't find a place to hide.
On the turrets of the fortress were some powerful steam ballistas, and the arrows as thick as the beams were enough to deal with a 2,000-material warship, but because they did not have enough elevation angles, they could not deal with the targets in the sky, and even if they could shoot vertically, these stupid Spaniards did not have the spirit to do it.
Penghu Bay is very beautiful, the beach waves, coconut trees and the sea breeze are gusting, just send the old captain and grandmother, but now no one has the leisure to enjoy the scenery, the barefoot 6 soldiers jumped off the flat-bottomed boat, waded into the sea, holding knives, guns, bows and crossbows, boarded the land of Penghu, the 6 soldiers were mixed by the Ming army and the Zheng army, Zheng Sen and Wu Sangui led the team, they were blocked by the Spanish 6 army as soon as they went ashore.
The Spanish navy was also strong, and the 6th Army was not inferior, a squad of the 6th Army mixed with cavalry and infantry hid in the woods on the shore to avoid the fire coverage of the battleships in front of the 6th Deng, and waited until most of the Ming army boarded the 6th to kill them from the woods.
This was the first time Wu Sangui had seen the army of the Xiyi people, the cavalrymen were all wearing shiny half-body armor, high-topped helmets decorated with colorful feathers, swords at their waists, spears without tassels in their hands, and the infantry wore iron helmets with two ends upturned and a ridge on their heads, and their bodies wore whole pieces of iron plate armor, and they held spears two feet long in their hands.
Although there are only a hundred people, there is a neat forest of guns and trees, and there is indeed a kind of majesty, a symbol of strength.
