Chapter 576: Jinyi Wei Comes [2 More]
When the screams came, I saw that a coalition soldier was hit hard by a falling cannonball, which directly caused the upper self to explode and shatter into a pulp, and the beating cannonball rolled out, breaking into the crowd is a scream, and it is normal for bones to break and tendons.
The sound of shelling was heard incessantly, and it was not at all that in addition to the intruding Ming soldiers, there were also many coalition soldiers in the port.
It is obvious that Governor George did not care about the shelling, but as for whether the shelling would cause any damage to his own people, this was not something that Governor George had to consider.
One after another, the cannonballs fell, not only the fleeing coalition soldiers were stunned, but the same group of Ming soldiers also became extremely panicked all of a sudden.
The lethality of solid bullets is extremely limited, unless it is unlucky to be directly hit by a shell, otherwise be careful, disperse the personnel, and the insufficient lethality of solid bullets will suddenly be highlighted.
Seeing the countless cannonballs falling in the harbor, Dong Ke dodged to avoid a cannonball that smashed into his place, and looked around with an ugly face.
Although it is said that the lethality of solid ammunition is insufficient, it can't withstand the crazy shelling of the other party.
The port is so big, if the opponent's hundreds of cannons continue to bombard thousands of shells, it is inevitable that there will be heavy casualties at that time.
"Withdraw!"
Gritting his teeth and with a little unwillingness, Dong Ke decisively ordered to withdraw from the port.
The port is too close to the enemy's warship, just within the range of the cannons above the battleship, if you say that you will not get any benefit if you break through, you will suffer great losses.
The Ming soldiers, who had originally rushed into the port, withdrew from the port like a low tide.
Exiting the range of the artillery, it was obvious that the sound of shelling from the direction of the port had suddenly decreased a lot.
On the big ship, Governor George, who had been watching the situation in the port through a clairvoyant mirror, watched Dong Ke lead the men and horses out of the port, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief.
It didn't take long for the sound of shelling to cease completely, and from time to time there were screams from the harbor, and a figure crawled out of the ruins, covered in dust and embarrassed, wasn't it Count Harry.
Count Harry spat out a mouthful of muddy saliva mixed with a few traces of blood, if it weren't for the clothes on his body, just looking at the gray face, I am afraid that few people would be able to recognize such an embarrassed person as Count Harry.
By the time Earl Harry had washed up and boarded the flagship, Governor George was preparing food for Count Harry.
Earl Harry walked before the ghost gate closed, especially when he was left behind by Governor George, but he was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, and after sitting down, he didn't even look at Governor George, but just gulped down food
Governor George looked at Earl Harry, who looked angry with him, with a smile, but he was not affected at all, and he also took a knife and fork and ate contentedly.
With a bang, Earl Harry couldn't help it at first, smashed the knife and fork in his hand on the plate, stared at Governor George, and said, "Old George, what do you mean!" Do you want to trap me? ”
Slowly took off the napkin, then took the handkerchief on the side and wiped his hands, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then looked at Earl Harry and said, "Harry, don't care about the process, you just need to see the result." ”
Governor George's meaning was obvious, although he had cheated Earl Harry in the middle, but on the whole, the end result was good, at least they were all safe and sound, and even most of the soldiers retreated.
Just staring at Governor George, Earl Harry's chest rose and fell, looking at Governor George's face, Count Harry tried his best to resist the urge to punch down in his heart, and finally said viciously: "If there is a next time, you and I will part ways." ”
Outside the port, thousands of Ming soldiers blocked the port, but they did not dare to break into it easily.
In a simple tent, Dong Ke, who was dressed in military uniform, was looking at several generals under him at this time.
I only heard one general say to Dong Ke: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead a group of men and horses into the port, and he will definitely drive those people out of the port." ”
Dong Ke glanced at the general lightly and said, "Even if you can drive the other party out of the port, so what, can you sink those hundreds of big ships?" ”
The general couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say at all.
Knocking on the table, Dong Ke swept a group of people and said slowly: "Everyone cheer me up, General Ben has drafted a chapter to ask the court for help, before the reinforcements arrive, be sure to block the port, and no one is allowed to go out of the port." ”
In the evening, as night fell, the harbor gradually fell into darkness.
In the melee during the day, both sides actually did not bargain for anything, but relatively speaking, the combined forces of Portugal and Helian suffered a lot of losses.
Originally, they used the best of the two countries to make up more than 4,000 people, but after a big battle, more than 1,000 people were killed, missing, and wounded.
More than 4,000 people landed, but the number of soldiers who finally returned to the port was only about 2,500, and even Governor George and Earl Harry were shocked when such losses were counted.
They only knew that the losses in this battle were not small, but they never thought that the losses would be so big, after all, they had never suffered such big losses since their external expansion, so when the two of them received the results of the statistics of casualties, you look at me, I look at you, obviously stunned.
On the flagship, Governor George stared at Count Harry for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "If this Governor had known that this would be the result, he would not have come with you so easily anyway. ”
With a cold snort, Count Harry said: "There will be a war between the Ming Dynasty and us sooner or later, and now the Ming Navy is obviously weak, if you and I join forces, we can still fight, if we wait until the Ming Navy is strong, I am afraid that on this ocean, there will be no place for you and me." ”
Governor George glanced at Earl Harry and said, "This governor will send someone to send the news back to the country as soon as possible, and will definitely send more warships and men to the country, hoping to destroy the Ming navy in one fell swoop before the rise of its maritime power." ”
Earl Harry laughed and said, "Old George, this Earl has always thought that you are short-sighted and ignorant of the overall situation, and I never thought that you would have such a long-term vision in this matter. ”
In the quiet of the harbor, a team of soldiers are patrolling, dozens of hundreds of large ships docked in the harbor, but in order to prevent people from being attacked at night, these large ships are not directly docked, but docked on the water surface in the harbor, so that even if they are attacked by night and have water barriers, at least they don't have to worry about being taken advantage of by people to board the ship.
In the darkness, several figures walked silently in the harbor, these people stretched out their hands to be vigorous, even some obstacles were just a slight jump over, but there was no movement, it was obvious that these people were all martial arts people who were not shallow in martial arts.
The first one of them is a gorgeous costume, if someone sees it, they will definitely be shocked, because the dress is clearly the bullfighting suit given by the Son of Heaven, and to be able to wear such a gorgeous costume, it is either an important minister of the court or a high-level of the Jinyi Guard.
At a corner in front of them, several figures suddenly stopped, and soon saw a group of soldiers walking over with torches.
Looking at the group of alien soldiers who came over, the first one jumped first, like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, several soldiers broke their necks.
As for the other patrol soldiers, they were also wiped off their necks one by one at this time.
One of them ripped off the clothes of these soldiers, and then sent them to the Jinyi guard official in a bullfighting suit and said, "Lord Yue, your subordinates are serving you to change your clothes!" ”
If someone from a famous martial arts sect sees this official, he is afraid that he will recognize it at a glance, this person is none other than the former head of the Huashan faction, Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun hugged Chu Yi's thighs, but in the officialdom, he relied on his own ability to rise to prominence, from a hundred households in Jinyi and Wei, and step by step became the commander of Jinyiwei. Even within Jinyiwei, there are a number of powerful people.
The commander of Jinyiwei is Qian Ning, although he is not Chu Yi's person, but if Yue Buqun is clearly an official of the Wuwang Party, he can be regarded as Chu Yi's eyes and tentacles in Jinyiwei.
Yue Buqun changed into his clothes and cleaned up a little, and at the same time, several brocade guards under him also changed their clothes, if they didn't look carefully, they really couldn't see any difference from those patrolling soldiers.
Glancing around to determine the general direction they were in now, Yue Buqun nodded to a few of his subordinates beside him, and then the group walked out of the corner.
Lighting torches, Yue Buqun and his party went straight to the depths of the port.
If you are unlucky enough to encounter some carefully inspected coalition guards, then you are sorry, how can an ordinary soldier be the opponent of Yue Buqun and other Jinyi guards, and his neck was broken without even making any noise.
At this moment, a Jinyi guard official lowered his voice, stared at the coalition soldier who was stuck in the neck and blushed, and said, "Tell me, where is the leader of your family?" ”
Loosen a little, the soldier who was almost suffocating to death couldn't help but take a big breath of air, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw the hideous face close at hand, the coalition soldier's heart sank, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to scream, but he heard a click, his neck hurt, and his head drooped, obviously his neck was broken.
