Chapter 492: Cannibalistic Port [2 More]
The port was empty and silent, and no one could see it except for the neatly stacked goods everywhere, but the more this happened, the more nervous the Portuguese soldiers who came ashore.
William clenched the firearm in his hand, his ears pricked up, his eyes widened and he looked around, passing through a corner, William's eyes shrank, and he screamed almost instinctively: "Enemy attack!" ”
Almost at the same time as William's warning, a loud sound was heard, and a rain of arrows covered it, and it was a powerful crossbow shot together.
Qi Jingtong did not use firearms, but ambushed dozens of strong crossbows in a secret place, it can be said that these strong crossbows are already the largest number that Qi Jingtong can mobilize, not that he doesn't want to mobilize more, but there are only these dozens of strong crossbows in this port warehouse.
Fortunately, the power of these powerful crossbows was really terrifying, and they lived up to Qi Jingtong's expectations, and most of the Portuguese soldiers who entered the port in an instant were put down.
Unless it was shot directly into the vital part, it was not fatal to be shot by a strong crossbow, so more than a dozen soldiers with arrows stuck in their bodies fell to the ground covering their wounds and screamed repeatedly, looking at the miserable appearance and the bubbling blood wounds, if it took a long time, it would be either painful to death or bleeding to death.
William found the ambushed soldier at the first time, so he reacted immediately, fell to the ground and rolled on the spot, so that he escaped.
It can be said that if William didn't react immediately, then he would have been shot into a hedgehog at this time.
Hiding behind a huge box, William looked around, although he couldn't see where the soldiers who ambushed them were hiding at this moment, but the sleepy William felt the imminent crisis, that is, the people hiding in the dark ambush them were afraid that it would not be long before they could find them.
Beside William, there was still a little fear on the faces of more than a dozen Portuguese soldiers who had escaped, and it was really too terrifying for the wave of arrows just now.
They were a group of dozens of people, and as a result, under the rain of arrows, almost two-thirds of them fell.
There were only a dozen of them left, and the most important thing was that not far from them, the companion who had just landed with them fell to the ground and screamed.
Abel was a soldier, but his eyes were red as he looked at his fellow countryman who had fallen to the ground not far away, with an arrow stuck in his chest.
Albert, as his countryman, and the two could be said to have a very good relationship in the army, at this moment Able couldn't help but scream, and rushed out of the obstacle and rushed towards Albert who fell to the ground.
I have to say that Abel's actions were beyond the expectations of William and others, and when William reacted, he couldn't help but shout at Ebel: "Abel, come back quickly......"
Apparently Able rushed forward to get Albert back, apparently provoked by Able, and two more soldiers rushed out from behind the obstacles.
However, just as they rushed to the side of their companions, who had been badly injured by the arrows, all of a sudden, several arrows burst through the air and disappeared into their bodies in an instant.
Able watched as an arrow sank into his chest, and a sharp pain that pierced his heart made Abel weak, and he fell weakly beside Albert, and in the moment of confusion, Abel only saw a few figures not far away holding bows and crossbows, looking at them expressionlessly.
William and the others watched as the three Abel who rushed out fell and slammed into the ground in anger.
Qi Jingtong didn't seem to hear the wailing of those Portuguese soldiers, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and with a wave of his hand, he suddenly saw more than a dozen elite soldiers hunched over and quietly approaching William and the others.
As if they had heard the movement, or sensed the actions of these soldiers, William and the others suddenly rushed out, boom, boom, boom.
The fire bolt was fired, and the lead bullet pierced the body, but the soldiers sent by Qi Jingtong also shot arrows in an instant.
Between the blood splashes, the two sides were only a few feet apart, and most of them fell in unison with a face-to-face effort.
At such a close distance, neither the firearm nor the crossbow had time to fire, so I saw that both sides instinctively threw out the firearm or bow in their hands, and then pulled out their waist knives and long swords and threw themselves at each other.
At this time, firearms were just emerging, and even the fighting between Western armies still relied on cold weapons to a certain extent, so these Portuguese soldiers were quite brave in fighting.
It's a pity that the Portuguese soldiers do not have an advantage in numbers, just like the Changning and Changping battleships were beaten and sunk by the group, and more than a dozen Portuguese soldiers were surrounded and killed on the spot by the Ming soldiers who rushed out in a blink of an eye.
In the port, Daliqisi and other Portuguese generals paid attention to the movements of William and his party with the help of clairvoyant mirrors, but unfortunately after going ashore, because of the cover of the building complex, Daliqisi and others could not see everything clearly as if they were above the sea.
After the figures of William and others were blocked, Daliqisi and others could no longer grasp the whereabouts of William and others.
Faintly, a rapid sound of fire came from the sound, which seemed to indicate that William and the others had encountered the enemy, and Daliqisi and the others were not surprised by this, after all, they had noticed Qi Jingtong and a group of soldiers retreating into the port through the clairhand mirror before.
If William and the others entered the port without encountering any accidents, it would be strange.
Allen said with a smile on his face: "General, don't worry, the team led by William can be said to be the elite of our army, even if it encounters several times the enemy, it is enough to protect itself, even if it is not an opponent, it is not difficult to withdraw safely......"
Soon the sound of fire disappeared, and Allen said with a determined face and a little disdain: "Thinking about William, they have already eliminated their opponents, how can a group of losers who don't have the courage to fight head-on with us be William's opponents!" ”
Allen's words naturally made a group of Portuguese officers nod their heads in agreement, obviously agreeing with Allen's words.
As for whether William and his party would encounter any danger, everyone never thought about it.
However, the tea time passed, and the port was quiet, but there was no movement, if it was just that, William and his party who entered the port did not send a signal according to the previous agreement, which had to make Daliqisi and others a little worried.
After all, according to the previous agreement, every time a tea is over, William and the others will send a signal to tell the crowd whether they are safe or not.
But it's been a long time, and according to the agreement, William should have sent a signal or sent someone back to summon him.
"What's going on, how long has it been, why haven't they sent someone back yet, and they haven't even sent a signal!"
As William's boss, Allen, who had just sworn that William and the others were safe, had a somewhat ugly face, but he still insisted: "Maybe William they have been delayed by something, and the general should have confidence in William." ”
Glancing at Allen, Daliqisi had a bad feeling in his heart, took a deep breath, and said to Allen: "Allen, you take someone to take a look, be sure to find William and them!" ”
Alan saluted Daliqisi and scolded in his mouth: "William, bastard, don't let me find him, I'm so embarrassed, I have to look good!" ”
Soon Alan led a group of people to the shore, and this time Alan led as many as 100 people into the harbor with great momentum.
With the fall of Iwami Port into the Ming Dynasty, more and more merchant ships came, Iwami Port became more and more prosperous, and in more than half a year, Qi Jingtong built a large number of houses on the original foundation, which were either leased by those maritime merchants in the warehouse, or leased as a residence.
And at this time, Qi Jingtong was hiding with his men and horses between this large number of buildings.
After marching more than 100 zhang, suddenly a bloodstain appeared in front of him, and Alan and a group of Portuguese soldiers were in high spirits one by one, and their faces showed a bit of solemnity.
"Look, this ...... This seems to be Albert's favorite cross! ”
In the midst of the bloodstains, a silver cross was covered with blood and thrown to the ground.
"Oh my God, this ...... This is really Albert's cross, he is like a treasure on weekdays, how can he be left here, Albert is not ......"
As if thinking of something, the faces of several soldiers who were familiar with Albert immediately became ugly, and if their guess was true, wouldn't it mean that Albert had most likely lost his life.
At the thought that Albert might have lost his life, the soldiers couldn't help but widen their eyes and look around with a wary face, as if they wanted to find out the murderer who had taken Albert's life in the dark.
At this moment, a piercing sound of breaking the air came, and a rain of arrows covered the head, and this sudden attack was like a torrential rain, directly stunned Alan and the others.
Alan and the others were not mentally prepared at all, after all, they had always been smooth, even when facing the natives, it was they who chased those natives to slaughter, how could they have been ambushed.
It is precisely because of this that Alan and the others were not mentally prepared, and as many as twenty or thirty people fell in the blink of an eye.
Alan crawled into the corner on the side, grinning at the arrow stuck in his leg, gritting his teeth and shouting at several hastily soldiers: "Send a signal, send a signal, quickly ask General Daliqisi to send reinforcements!" ”
Soon several soldiers took out the signal flare from their arms, and suddenly fireworks burst out in the air, but in this blue sky and daylight, it was very eye-catching, at least Daliqisi, who had been paying attention to the movement above the port, and other naval officers saw the fireworks one by one.
[Who, who, the second change, who said that the fleas are degraded, and the wood has Oh ......]
