"The Aztecs are pathetic, but a bunch of water thieves are no respectable opponents. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

First Officer Green also interjected on the side, as an old captain of the Ottoman Empire, he has also seen the collapse of the empire in the history books. However, he still shook his head and smiled: "A group of humble water thieves, it's just because we just developed that we feel jealous." ”

He was right, no matter how ferocious the Ketuf River bandits were, they were just a rabble, and it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed compared to the regular army.

You must know that this group of Ketufu River thieves, if it weren't for the internal strife between the high-ranking nobles in Gray Mist City, I am afraid that they would have been surrounded and annihilated in the swamp by the river patrol team of Samar City.

And according to the mysterious wind at the entrance of the swamp, the current Levi also guessed that it was probably not released by the so-called swamp baron, because even the mage tower of Gray Mist City has been mixed with the rebel forces, and the Ketuv River thieves have secretly allied with them.

These are all conspiracies, so-called changes in the times promoted by a group of careerists, but Levi is also disgusted by this, he is not a politician or careerist.

Stuffing the last piece of black bread into his mouth, Li Wei advocated running over with absolute strength, although the road was bumpy, but with the support of the system and the earth, all this may not be too difficult.

"Ready for action."

Breakfast was quick and I had basically finished my own food. Levi also took a sip of water, stood up and turned his head to look at the sun that was getting higher and higher, nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's time for us to appear." ”

Not far away, at the edge of the wharf, six light galleries were docked, and the Spanish sailors who had finished breakfast also trotted over, jumped on the deck of the warship, and as the oarsmen took their positions, they slowly sailed towards the sea with the sound of shouts.

For this morning, they have been preparing for nearly five days, and they have already figured out the details of the estuary of the Yuqiao River, and they are even more eager for the next arrangement.

"It's all ready, and it's going according to plan."

Captain Hall also followed Levi, and the two of them had also turned over into a light galley warship, and with the shouts of the oarsmen in the row below them, ten slender oars on the left and right flew quickly, and they had already left the beach and entered the sea.

The light Galie warship is not only smaller than the heavy Galie warship, but the scale has directly shrunk by nearly two-thirds, even if it is only ten oarsmen, and it is one person who controls two slender oars, compared to the two columns of the heavy Galie warship sitting side by side, a total of forty people control the thick arm of the oarsman, it is simply pitiful.

Although the sturdiness, carrying capacity, and sailing speed are not as strong as the heavy Canadian warships, this light Canadian warship is also the spokesperson for flexibility and lightness. Almost as the oars flew up and down, six warships carried Levi and them into the Yuqiao River.

"Just up front is a small hill, about ten minutes from our makeshift camp."

Captain Hall stood in front of the bow building, the telescope in his hand had been drawn out and placed in front of him, and as the line of sight narrowed after opening, a gentle hill of more than ten meters in front of him also appeared in front of him, and he said affirmatively: "Our artillery position is there." ”

"It looks like it can directly cover the entire Yuqiao River." Levi had already opened his binoculars, looked at the hill that Captain Hall was pointing to, and nodded with satisfaction. The entire hill is the only commanding point in the slightly gentler terrain around it, and it is adjacent to the Yuqiao River, so even if a team of archers stood on it, the entire river lane could be completely cut off.

It's just that now Levi is using artillery, especially these four 12-pounder bronze falcon cannons, which are completely prepared for Levi to control the estuary of the Yuqiao River!

Although this bronze falcon cannon is ancient, it can also fire 12-pound solid iron bullets from a long distance, and shoot a scatter of iron balls and iron fragments at close range, not to mention that it is still condescending, almost from the Yuqiao River at the foot of the hill to a distance of thousands of kilometers in the distance, it has been completely covered by artillery fire, and the four guns have formed a perfect barrage coverage.

Even if Levi wanted to, he could even completely transform this small hill into another temporary fortress, but because of the defensive problems involved, he only cleared the place and turned it into a simple temporary artillery position.

But even if this temporary artillery position was surrounded by a surprise attack by water thieves, the sailors from the temporary camp in Cape Town could rush over as quickly as possible. It takes about ten minutes to trot, and if you don't skimp on your physical strength, I'm afraid you can get here in five minutes.

The distance between the two sides is so close that you can see the top of the hill from the top of the wall, so even if you are supportive, you can be safe. Even if Li Wei can have mortars, even if the artillery is released in the city wall at that time, he can provide fire support to the Yuqiao River and this artillery position!

The light Galie warships gradually approached the shore, and this hill happened to be the location of a gulf stream in the Yuqiao River, and the Galie warships docked behind the hill seemed to have found natural cover, as long as the ships heading inland to the outside were just blocked by the hills, they could not detect any unusual accidents.

In other words, the light Galie warships behind the hill could not directly spot the ships coming from the interior, but the top of the hill was now occupied by Levi and the others, and there was no need to worry about the observation post.

The light Garret warship below him lowered its heavy anchor and plunged into the mud of the river like a hook, and at once several sailors jumped out of the boat, tied the warship to a pre-ordered stake with hemp rope, and came to a peaceful halt in the more turbulent river.

The thick planks, which also serve as ladders, are also thrown heavily on the shore, creating a gentle slope. And in the aft building of this light galley warship, a heavy bronze falcon cannon was slowly pushed out by the six sailors.

This antique artillery still has the afterglow of the feudal era, and the multi-ton cannon body seems to represent power. Now it is making these artillerymen and dragging sailors miserable.

The thick hemp rope had been tied to the gun carriage, and two wooden wheels made of fine wood, iron nails, and iron sheets were also moving slowly, and a gunner on each side was pushing the wooden wheel forward vigorously, with the help of the strength of the four companions who were pulling in front of him, and finally pushed towards the thick plank.

Even if the road is paved on this side of the hill, the softer mud is not strong at all. What's more, the weight of this bronze falcon cannon is here, and it almost took over with many Spanish sailors, before finally shouting and pushing towards the top of the mountain.

The four guns were like this, and because of their weight, they didn't dare to push up together, so they had to push up one and then the next. Thankfully, there were hundreds of Spanish sailors who arrived, and in addition to the more than 60 who stayed on the light Callie warship, the rest of the 50 were also able to help carry cannonballs or gunpowder.

"It's the upper reaches of the Yuqiao River, and maybe after turning over the hills, it's the Swamp."

Captain Hall also stood at the top of the hill a little breathlessly, turned his head to look at the four bronze falcon cannons that had all been pushed up next to him, and also gestured for the gunners and sailors to rest for a while.

Deep ruts had appeared behind them, and the messy footprints could also show the strength of this group of gunners and sailors, after all, such a heavy artillery, in reality, it should be pulled and moved by horses, and it was really quite painful to carry it purely by manpower.

This is also the disadvantage of the old Falcon cannon, a mere 12-pound gun is already worth the weight of the 24-pounder infantry gun in the new type of artillery in modern history, but the difference in power is far apart.

After a heavy breath, Captain Hall finally recovered from the fatigue of carrying a pack of scattered bullets, but the telescope in his hand that had been raised looked ahead, and he gasped with some emotion: "If we are developed, we must be inserted directly into the swamp along the Yuqiao River, and let those damn water thieves see who is the master of the river!" ”

"I hope that day."

Levi also nodded, standing on the hill and holding a telescope to look in the direction of the interior. The trees on both sides were lush and the slightly undulating terrain was not a plain, but he could still see traces of cultivated land, but now it was full of weeds and many groves.

It can be expected that the two banks of the Yuqiao River should be the farmland reclaimed by Haijiao Town, although it is located in a barren place, and the soil layer is mostly gravel and gravel, but because of the irrigation of the Yuqiao River, it can also produce a certain amount of food to meet the needs of Haijiao Town.

However, now it is all deserted, and the area near the woods is full of fine saplings, and even if you can see the traces of cultivated land, most of them are now half-human-tall weeds, and the lush greenery is like a sea of grass swaying in the wind.
