Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 199 The Battle for the Island I
Chapter 199: The Battle for the Island I
"What's going on?" Monk Xu's head is big.
The small island where Monk Xu is located is called Chen Qianshan.
The two large islands face each other, and are surrounded by small islands and reefs, and the hydrology is not too complicated, but it is also turbulent. For those who are not familiar with it, it is not easy to go to the island safely.
However, these problems are not a problem for Zhu Houhuang.
The information provided by Gongzi Xie was extremely detailed.
Monk Xu was on the island, looked over, and found that even if the ship came to attack, it was a smooth waterway. I knew that there must be an inner ghost, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
Whether it is as a pirate or with the nature of Monk Xu, he is not the kind of person who is tied up. No islands.
He immediately ordered all the ships in the entire Chen Qian Mountain to rush out.
"Xianggong, Xianggong. Take me away. A woman wearing a skirt threw herself forward and hugged Monk Xu's legs.
This woman's name is Qiu Niang. It is Monk Xu's wife who is said to be from a large family, and was robbed to the island by Monk Xu, and he also made trouble at the beginning. But after a long time, he resigned himself to his fate.
She handles housekeeping and keeps Chen Qianshan's cooking in order. It can also be regarded as the virtuous helper of Monk Xu.
Monk Xu was about to pull her up and take her away, when suddenly the afterglow of his eyes swept around. It was found that many of his subordinates were looking at him.
Pirates also have families.
On Chen Qian Mountain, it is not only Monk Xu who has women.
The people who followed Monk Xu understood that how to run out this time, Monk Xu would definitely not come back. Who doesn't want to take their family with them.
Monk Xu immediately knew what to do. He sighed, gently stroked the woman's head, and said, "Qiu Niang, I'll take you away." Before the words fell, a short knife stabbed into Qiu Niang's chest. Blood spurted out instantly, pouring into the trachea, and Qiu Niang couldn't say anything if she wanted to, leaving only a gurgling sound.
"Qiu Niang, I will always die, so please go down and give me a front stand." Monk Xu's eyes flashed with tears. A hard hand on it. Qiu Niang was shocked, her body was loosened, her head was crooked, and she was already dead.
Monk Xu is not without feelings for Qiu Niang, but the person he loves the most is always himself.
Monk Xu gently put down Qiu Niang and said to the people around him: "Brothers, why is the eldest husband without a wife." Today we escape, sooner or later we have to make King Yong look good. Come with me. ”
Monk Xu's eyes widened, and there was a faint flash of blood in his eyes. All of them didn't dare to look up into Monk Xu's eyes. They all followed Monk Xu.
Countless feet walked past Qiu Niang's side, but they couldn't hide Qiu Niang's dead eyes.
The sails are raised. Ships rushed out of the harbor.
Monk Xu is still accustomed to an arrogant temper.
He will definitely not find any weak links to rush out, but will rush to the road where the enemy's forces are the strongest, that is, the road where Zhu Houhuang is located.
To be honest, Zhu Houhuang was stunned for a while when he saw Monk Xu rushing towards him, how could he not understand how Monk Xu's train of thought went. No matter what Zhu Houhuang thinks, his subordinates will not put Zhu Houhuang in a dangerous place, so the road where Zhu Houhuang is located is the most powerful road, all the Dafu ships, all the firearms on them are the latest, and even several have been equipped with the latest Franc cannons. Even if he met the Francophone fleet, it was not without the strength of a battle. There is naturally no problem in dealing with a fleet like Monk Xu.
No matter what Monk Xu was like, Zhu Houhuang would not let Zhu Houhuang rush under his nose. Zhu Houhuang said to Xu Dong: "Xu Qing, this battle will be handed over to you." ”
Xu Dong said: "The minister will definitely live up to his mission. ”
Xu Dong followed Zhu Houhuang for a long time, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he wanted to persuade Zhu Houhuang to avoid it in the cabin. But thinking about Zhu Houhuang's personality, he just opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
There were more than a dozen guards around Zhu Houhuang, holding heavy wooden long cards. The surface is still nailed with iron sheets, and from a distance, it looks like a mirror, surrounding Zhu Houhuang in the middle.
Zhu Houhuang raised the clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed the changes on the battlefield.
While Zhu Houhuang was observing the battlefield, Monk Xu was also observing him.
The clairvoyant mirror is still a rare thing in this era, that is, Zhu Houhuang has dealings with the Franc machine, so he can get some. So Monk Xu hadn't seen the clairvoyant mirror at all.
However, although there is no clairglass, Monk Xu has a pair of eyes that are no less than those of a pilot.
He clearly saw the difference between Zhu Houhuang's ship. Immediately understand that there are big people in this boat. He secretly said in his heart: "As long as you rush over, this big ship will definitely avoid it in a panic." ”
Monk Xu wants to attack the most powerful fleet, and he also has the thought of a ship. First of all, he understands that his goals are big, and no matter which direction he takes, he will be taken care of. It's the same in all directions.
Second, he just saw that there were big people in this fleet. Generally, big people are very interested in their own lives, and if they can threaten the lives of the other party, then they will weigh the pros and cons between saving their lives and arresting themselves.
What the? You say his men. Monk Xu understands very well that in today's situation, it is impossible for him to preserve his strength, so the only thing he wants is that he can run out, and with his name and strength of Monk Xu, he will be reused under anyone. His subordinates, Monk Xu never thought about it.
Under the control of two old rivals, Xu Dong and Monk Xu. The fleets of both sides approached at a rapid pace.
The waters are not open.
There are no shortage of reefs nearby, and there is only one waterway to keep the two sides in contact.
The two sides only collided in a daze on the waterway.
Xu Dong gritted his teeth slightly, holding back and not firing. However, his nervousness was not because of the other party, but because of Zhu Houhuang. He stood in front of Zhu Houhuang. He secretly said in his heart: "If there is any cannonball, hit me first, I don't have to think about the consequences." It seemed that he had such an idea, and Xu Dong calmed down slightly.
"Boom." This time, it was Monk Xu who fired first.
It was impossible for Monk Xu to rush directly to Zhu Houhuang's ship, and they tried their best to bombard a Dafu ship in front of Zhu Houhuang.
This lucky ship is a five-masted lucky ship, which is a whole circle larger than Monk Xu's ship, and the side of the ship is higher than that of Monk Xu.
In the era of sailing ships, solid cannonballs, it was difficult to sink ships. This five-masted ship, even after dozens of cannons, has nothing to do, but it just looks a little embarrassed.
The ships are already approaching.
Xu Dong gave an order: "Open the cannon." ”
The Franc cannon hidden behind the ship's side was pushed out in an instant. There was a "boom", another sound, and dozens of Franc machine guns fired five rounds in a row within a minute or two, and all five sub-guns were knocked out, and when I looked over from the side of the ship, there was only a pungent white smoke, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
They were trained to immediately cool down the mother-in-law. Reload again and wait for the next launch.
The sea breeze was not strong, but it was slow, but after a while, the smoke from the gunpowder was blown away.
Seeing the tragic situation of the ship on the opposite side surprised everyone. Zhu Houhuang once again remembered the situation under the bombardment of the Franco's machine gun that day.
Even in history, when the Ming army first came into contact with the Franc cannon, it was stunned, and never thought that the artillery could be fired so quickly.
At this moment, Monk Xu was also stunned. For a moment he had no idea what was going on.
These five rounds of Franc machine guns were all scattered bullets, so that Monk Xu knew what it meant to wash the deck.
Countless buckshot the size of grapes, like scattered flowers of the goddess, scattered all over the deck, and countless sailors and pirates were beaten into a hornet's nest.
It's better to die all of a sudden. If he didn't die, he would have either been hit with more than a dozen buckshot bullets in his body, and he would have waited for death, or he would have lost his arms and legs. The entire deck seems to have been newly dyed with paint. But this layer is blood-colored. The entire deck was covered with blood, and it even flowed into the sea through the drainage holes. Countless shadows swim in the sea, as if waiting for something.
