After roughly guessing what the other party's origin was, Mao Yuanlai not only did not show a worried look, but was excited, and looked at everything in the Portuguese fleet through the clairvoyant mirror with great curiosity.

I heard Mao Yuan muttering softly: "The chief manager once said that although these Western barbarians are said to be maritime powers, they are limited by their own population, and the number of troops is actually not very large, but more in terms of weapons!" ”

Saying that, Mao Yuan looked at Qi Jingtong, Qi Jingtong had the experience of fighting with the other party, what the other party's weapons and equipment were, others didn't know, but Qi Jingtong definitely felt something.

Qi Jingtong nodded slightly and said: "Yes, although it is said in our army that under the vigorous implementation of the general manager, the number of firearms equipped with firearms only accounts for three or four percent, but the other party's firearms are almost fifty or sixty percent more equipped, and the firepower of firearms is not worse than the sophisticated firearms we are equipped with." ”

Clapping his hands suddenly, Mao Yuan said with a little excitement: "In this way, the other party is the Western power that the chief manager said." ”

Saying that, Mao Yuan said with regret: "It's a pity, these people actually retreated, otherwise, they can fight with the other party, and it is good to see how strong the soldiers and horses of the maritime power that can be specially reminded by the chief administrator." ”

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, it is Mao Yuan, Mao Yuan was born in a family of generals, and his father and brother were the first high-ranking officials in the court to choose to attach themselves to Chu Yi, so Mao Yuan is like a fish in water in the army, and he is valued by many generals.

Of course, although the army pays attention to relationships, it pays more attention to its own ability than other places, and Mao Yuan is not the kind of gentleman, otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to join the army, and even came to Dongying with the army.

Listening to Mao Yuan's words, Qi Jingtong shook his head with a wry smile, Mao Yuan's men and horses do seem to be a lot, there are thousands of people, but aside from the more than 100 elite Ming soldiers under Mao Yuan, what kind of goods are the rest, Qi Jingtong is very clear.

It's not that he looks down on these Dongying soldiers who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, if Mao Yuan really lets these people take these people to fight against the Portuguese soldiers, he is afraid that as soon as they fight, these Dongying soldiers will collapse.

Qi Jingtong's only good luck is that the Yi people in the port do not know the details of the reinforcements led by Mao Yuan, so they will take the initiative to retreat, if the other party really knows what kind of people Mao Yuan brought, I am afraid that the other party will not choose to retreat when they are about to defeat them.

Sighing lightly, Qi Jingtong knew one thing very well in his heart, that is, the Yi people in the port were only afraid that it would not be long before they figured out their details, after all, so many merchants in the port fell into the control of the Yi people.

These Yi people don't know their details, those merchants in the key ports know it, for these merchants, to be honest, Qi Jingtong doesn't have much hope, and someone will reveal their details to the Yi people.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, he suddenly heard a roar in the distance.

A few miles away, a roaring sound came, and Qi Jingtong suddenly looked up, only to see cannonballs shooting out from the fleets in the harbor.

One shell after another bombarded the building complex, and suddenly a large area of the building complex suffered a devastating blow.

Fortunately, Qi Jingtong and the others stayed away from the range of the shelling, otherwise such a wave of shelling would not have caused damage to his men and horses.

After pacifying the crowd and determined to show enough merit to wash away his humiliation no matter what, Dalicus decisively ordered the bombardment of the port.

Previously, Qi Jingtong and others relied on these buildings to fight with their soldiers, because they did not want the goods stored in the port to be affected in the war, so Daliqisi did not order the shelling of the buildings above the port at the beginning.

But now Daliqi wanted to kill the enemy, and the cargo on the port was secondary.

Under the shelling, a building complex was devastated, and even some goods were reduced to ashes in the shelling.

After the tea had passed, the team that had retreated before came ashore again and headed straight for the depths of the harbor, and most importantly, this time, this team numbered fifteen hundred.

The army soldiers that the entire fleet can mobilize are only about 2,000 people, and as a result, Daliqisi dispatched as many as 1,500 people at once, which is half more than before, if there is any accident with these more than 1,000 soldiers, the entire fleet will definitely be greatly damaged, even as the governor of this fleet, Daliqisi will definitely not be able to shoulder such a big responsibility, and even when the time comes, he will have to apologize with death.

The menacing Portuguese army soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx, approaching little by little.

Looking at the neat military formation, Qi Jingtong, Mao Yuan and others couldn't help frowning, this military formation did give people a kind of pressure, but Qi Jingtong and Mao Yuan only had a high-spirited fighting spirit in their eyes, and there was no fear at all.

Mao Yuan licked his tongue and said to Qi Jing: "My lord, let's fight!" ”

Looking at the Yiren army formation that was getting closer and closer to their oppression, even fools could see that unless it was a hard encounter, they would not be able to crack the opponent's momentum at all.

Of course, the Portuguese army phalanx did look very intimidating, but this fighting style was very different from the East.

Qi Jingtong only looked at the opponent's military formation and came up with a way to crack it, whether it was covered with a rain of strong crossbow arrows or a large number of artillery, it could inflict a devastating blow on the opponent.

But there is a premise for this, whether it is a strong crossbow or artillery, it must reach a certain degree of fire coverage density, at least at present, Qi Jingtong's hands can mobilize only about 400 people, strong crossbows are only about 200, as for artillery, there is no artillery.

If such an arrow is fired, except for causing a little trouble to the other party, I am afraid that it will not have any effect.

As for the thousands of Dongying soldiers who assisted them, neither Qi Jingtong nor Mao Yuan took these people to heart.

After all, just by looking at the weapons in the hands of these people, you can see how effective these people are.

It would be strange if a group of soldiers who relied on bamboo spears sharpened from bamboo as weapons could withstand a wave of onslaught from the Portuguese army, which was equipped with almost a thousand firearms, without collapsing.

"Withdraw!"

Just when Mao Yuan was preparing to fight with the other party, Qi Jingtong unexpectedly made the decision to retreat.

Mao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Qi Jingtong in amazement, and said in surprise: "General, you ......"

Qi Jingtong said lightly: "Although the port cannot afford to be lost, but the gap between the two sides is too big, even if we all die here, we can't stop the other party's footsteps, rather than this, it is better to leave a useful body......

Mao Yuan glanced at Qi Jingtong and said, "Isn't the general afraid that someone will impeach the general for being greedy for life and afraid of death, resulting in the loss of the garrison?" ”

Qi Jingtong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Whether Qi is greedy for life and afraid of death, I believe that the chief manager will definitely give Qi a fair judgment." ”

Saying that, Qi Jingtong's expression was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, withdraw for me!" ”

Kyoto

With Ashikaga Yoshikie choosing to sacrifice Emperor Go-Kashiwahara, Kyoto City also opened its doors to Chu Yi, and the entire Kyoto completely fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered were confiscated and guarded, and tens of thousands of soldiers entered Kyoto City and took over Kyoto City.

Groups of soldiers appeared on the streets of Kyoto City, and broke down the doors of Kyoto's powerful and wealthy gentry one after another.

These powerful and noble families have been entrenched in Kyoto for at least tens or hundreds of years, and even some ancient families have been entrenched in Kyoto for hundreds of years, which can definitely be said to have a long history.

Kyoto has changed color several times, the people in the position of the emperor have changed, and the shogun has changed, but their families have not been affected in the slightest.

These magnates and gentry are rooted in Kyoto and invisibly control all aspects of Kyoto, unless someone can ruthlessly smash Kyoto completely, otherwise anyone who wants to take over a complete Kyoto must compromise with this huge force entrenched in Kyoto.

Families flourished and declined, and from generation to generation, Kyoto has gathered a large number of families with a long history, and it can be said that almost any family with a name in Kyoto has a glorious history.

I thought that this Ming Dynasty occupied Kyoto, and they were also needed to maintain order in Kyoto, so these people were very calm, and they didn't have any worries because Kyoto fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

These people only waited for the Ming army, which occupied Kyoto, to send someone to invite them, and then made a wish to them to gain their support.

But what these people never dreamed of was that what they were waiting for was not a messenger who made a wish to them, but a group of wolves and tigers, killing their homes and destroying their families.

These people were indeed confused by this sudden change for a while, and after reacting, some powerful and wealthy gentry who still had a background and raised a large number of family warriors began to rebel.

Shouts of death can be heard throughout Kyoto, and at first glance it seems that a terrible battle is going on in Kyoto.

In front of a striking mansion, a team of Ming soldiers was storming the gate, but more than 100 soldiers were blocked from the gate by a group of warriors who were not afraid of death with the help of geographical advantages.
