Chapter 839

Wu Sangui did not believe that George could break out of the encirclement of the Ming navy, and the balance of power was too great. Moreover, according to Li Xiao's temper, Da Ming would not tolerate George and them waiting until dark.

Walk down the stairs with the attendant to the office on the first floor. Command the attendants to move the large desk and lift the blanket beneath it. An iron door with an iron ring embedded in it was revealed, and the iron ring was pulled open with great difficulty. A staircase that goes diagonally downwards is revealed!

This is Wu Sangui's retreat, the cunning rabbit three caves, how can he stay here and wait for death. Although I haven't figured out where to go, I have to leave Mumbai first.

"You go down first." From the crack in the bookshelf, he pulled out a torch. Wu Sangui struck a match and lit it, and handed the torch to the guard.

The guards who are now following Wu Sangui are all people he brought out from Daming. These people are all the generals of the Wu family, and the group of people who are the most loyal to the Wu family, Wu Sangui only believes in them.

"No!" One of the guards took a torch and walked into the tunnel. Then the second guard also followed, and Wu Sangui walked in the third. It's dark and damp inside the tunnel. No one has walked in a long time, and there is a musty smell in the air.

The moment Wu Sangui walked into the tunnel, he took one last look at his office.

After walking down the tunnel, the guards behind him followed. Wu Sangui walked down the dark tunnel, as if he had a future, not knowing where the dawn was.

Suddenly, Wu Sangui felt that his neck was strangled by a belt.

"You ......!"

"I'm sorry Major General, I haven't been a person with you for so many years. Now that the Ming Liao soldiers have hit the city of Mumbai, we don't want to be the future lord of Mumbai, we just want to be able to return to Liaodong alive. Even if he dies, he has to be buried in the ancestral grave, so as not to be a lonely ghost. ”

The guards have extra strength in their hands, as long as Wu Sangui is stunned, and then sent out, there is hope of returning to Daming.

Wu Sangui's neck was strangled and exposed, and his hands kept pulling. The guard in front of him also turned around and wanted to grab Wu Sangui's arm. Wu Sangui kicked hard and kicked away the guy who grabbed his hand.

Reaching out and pulling the dagger from inside his boot, he poked it behind him without looking.

"Ahh The dagger was poked into the thigh of the guard behind him, and the guard let go of his hand with a scream of pain.

Wu Sangui ripped off the belt around his neck and gasped for air. "The Wu family is not thin on you, you dare to betray me."

"Major General, we're just thinking about returning to our roots. We don't want to die in a foreign land! In the dim light of the fire, the guards flashed their revolvers and pointed them at Wu Sangui.

"Want to catch me? Let's go in the next life! Two grenades appeared in Wu Sangui's hands, and the pull rings were already buckled together, and under the frightened eyes of the guards, Wu Sangui pulled the pull rings.

"Boom!" The explosion caused the tunnel to collapse, rocks and dirt to fall, and everything was finally calm.

No one knew that Wu Sangui was buried deep underground, and the Indians were still frantically storming the Governor's Palace. The city of Mumbai is still in chaos, and there is still a pure land in Mumbai, and that is the port of Mumbai.

Not a single shell landed in the port of Mumbai, because in the future, Li Xiao wanted to continue to use the facilities of the port of Mumbai as a transit point for trade between the Ming Dynasty and Europe.

"George! Do you really think it's necessary for us to wait for Wu? ”

"Is it necessary, we can't leave the port during the day. Now as long as you sail out of the port, you will definitely be sunk by the Ming navy. They have more than thirty ironclad ships, and we have only eighteen.

And their ironclad ships are more advanced than ours, and the quantity and quality of their guns are better than ours. If you want to escape, you can only wait until night. There was no moon tonight, and it was pitch black at sea. After we went to sea, we fled separately along several roads. Someone will always escape!

The night is our only barrier! George looked at the bright sun in the sky and wished it was going to go down now. Only in the dark of night can he give his fleet cover and leave the port quietly.

Surely some of them would be sunk, but George couldn't care less. Staying here is also a dead end.

George looked at the dock and prayed in his heart. He really hoped that Wu Sangui would be able to set up the carriage, rush out of the crowd, and then enter the dock. Under the cover of his own sailors, he managed to escape from the Indian mob.

Look at the day, it's past noon. With each passing hour, George's hopes diminished a few points.

The sun hung brightly in the sky, but Wu Sangui still didn't come. Although Wu Sangui did not come, the airship came.

More than thirty airships rumbled in the sky and flew over the fleet in a short time. On the loudspeaker, the standard London accent was heard.

"I, the Generalissimo, have ordered that the British warships in the harbor must surrender by four o'clock this afternoon. If you don't surrender, we'll drop bombs to blow up your ships. If you choose to surrender, we will arrange for ships to take you home without conditions. At the same time, we will also pay for travel and severance pay.

If you agree to surrender before 4 o'clock, raise the white flag. If you don't surrender, we'll bomb your warships so that you'll never be able to return home.

Repeat......! The airship circled over the fleet repeatedly, and the loudspeakers kept broadcasting downward.

George swallowed a big gulp of saliva, and it was over. There were mines on the waterway, and the Ming army did not want to fight a naval battle. But they can't help it, and there are no anti-aircraft guns or empty machine guns on ironclad ships today.

"George, what should I do?" The captain looked at George nervously, he knew that the Ming people were not joking, if there was still no news by the time, the Ming people would definitely bomb it. For airships, warships simply have no chance to fight back.

"How do I know?" George was a little angry.

"Now there are only two ways in front of us, or go to sea and fight with them. Either we surrender in the port of Mumbai, or we will be killed by their bombs. ”

"I don't want to be blown up, but I can't surrender either. The Ming people are not faithful, and they have no tradition of treating captives well. As far as I know, there have been no less than a dozen massacres of prisoners of war. The warships we are driving were built with the money of the British people. It must not be left to the Ming people, absolutely not! ”

George flatly refused to surrender, and the Ming Dynasty did have a bad record in the treatment of prisoners. In Star Gorge, more than 20,000 Mongols laid down their arms. The end result was that they were buried deep in the canyon. George didn't want to end up with them!

"What then? Rush out? "The captain thinks George is crazy.

There are more than 30 Daming ironclad ships waiting outside, and if you can sneak out a few at night by relying on your poor eyesight in the darkness. Now sail out of the harbor in broad daylight, that is, to die.

"Rush out and fight to the death. If given the chance, everyone split up and fled. As long as we stay up into the evening, it will be difficult for them to continue to follow us. George gritted his teeth and finally made a decision that he thought was the right one.

"Will it work?" The captain felt that George was very unreliable.

"Listen to me, it's absolutely fine. As long as I can stay up until the night, so that the warships of the Ming people can't catch up with us, I will definitely be able to escape. Even if only one escapes, it can be regarded as an explanation to Her Majesty. ”

"Okay!" The captain had no choice but to follow George's orders. There is really no good way to deal with the current situation. Unless...... Unless he's prepared to rebel against George.

"Get out of the dock and leave the port in order." Suddenly, a battle alarm sounded on the warship, and a melodious horn came over the water skin, looking very solemn.

One by one, the British battleships lifted anchor, and large clouds of smoke came out of the chimneys. The Intrepid was the first to leave the dock, ready to attack the Ming fleet in the open sea.

"Humph! The British are ready to flee, Captain, let's do it. Otherwise, these grandchildren have all run away. The driver said to the captain behind him.

"His grandmother's dared to run away. The marshal gave them an ultimatum, it was for these warships, and now they want to drive the warships away, no way! Catch up and blow him up for Lao Tzu. As long as the ship is blown up, the shipping channel of the port of Mumbai can be blocked for ten days and half a month.

When the time comes, we will see what happens to your British navy. Above! The captain gave an order, and more than a dozen airships shook their huge bodies and chased after them closely.

", bomb throwing! Blow him up and sink him in the middle of the channel. "In order to increase the probability of hitting, the airship began to reduce the altitude.

Soon, the airships launched a frenzied attack on the Dreadnought. Large bombs fell from the sky, and they were dropped with incredible precision. The battleship was surrounded by bright white splashes, and the Intrepid suffered two near-misses in a row. The two bombs directly caused water to enter the bottom compartment, and if the water in it was drained with a drain pipe, it would not be a star.

After the first airship was dropped, not a single bomb hit an important place. I have to be convinced, the combat quality of the army at that time was really high.

However, the second echelon was much better, and the bombs rained down, directly shaking the Dreadnought below and dancing on the water.

The Dreadnought rushed left and right, constantly dodging bombs by navigating in a zigzag. Finally, there was still a bomb, and it landed accurately on the foredeck.

On the foredeck of the Dreadnought, a large hole suddenly appeared. Immediately after, the teammate behind him hit another shot in the stern. Especially in this last battle, it is absolutely impossible to show cowardice and tarnish the reputation of the Ming Empire.

The stern hit the bomb and happened to blow up the steering gear. The Dreadnought could no longer move, and what awaited them now was to shoot, mercilessly. I don't have that much food under my own hands.

The intrepid was completely across the channel, directly blocking the channel of the port of Mumbai. If the warships behind want to leave the port, they must first ram the Dreadnought out of the way.

But now the Dreadnought is already rushing and rising, and if one of them does not hit well, it is likely to sink in the harbor channel, and no one will be able to get out at that time.

The bombardier on the airship has found his soulmate this time.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Dreadnought, which rushed left and right, was finally hit by a bomb near the Jianqiao.

The Dreadnought was broken in two on the spot, and the steel hull didn't even think about it, this territory was all chasing others by itself, and I really couldn't understand why these things flying in the sky were so annoying.

The bridge was hit, and the smoke billowed immediately from the dreadnought.

"Boom!" Another bomb stood not far from him.

"God willing, I will be able to return to the UK mainland."

Ten minutes later, the Dreadnought began to sink. The speed of sinking is so fast that everyone is asking why the same ironclad ship is more powerful than the Ming army.

The sinking of the Intrepid directly blocked the port route. After the warship behind lifted anchor, he found that he couldn't get through at all. If you want to get around the Dreadnought, both sides of the route are covered with mines.

The mine is full of explosives, for fear that the charge will not be enough. Once it explodes, it must be a devastating effect. At the beginning of the war, the Americans looked down on the Vietnamese.

But it's not right to fight, after all, Vietnam finally changed its regime and took a piece of it. Definitely the land of South Vietnam! To this day, the two countries are still shocked by those strange things.

Mines are known for their large size and sufficient charge.

Several British ironclad ships, relying on their relatively small tonnage, delusionally wanted to break through this place that had been placed!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Now the warships in the harbor are all targets of the airship brigade. When I train on weekdays, I treat them as mascots.

The airship began to drop bombs unscrupulously, and it was not enough to drop bombs, the bombs ran out, and they had to rely on machine guns to fight several more waves.

The British Navy below was out of luck, and the sea was littered with the corpses of British sailors. Everywhere there are sunken wrecks of ships!

Li Xiu was in the open sea, holding a telescope in his hand. But I couldn't see what was going on inside the port, and I could only see the smoke rising one by one. I don't know, how many warships can be blown up and sunk.

These warships were originally going to be captured, but now they were all sunk, which made Li Xiu a little sad. You must know that in the future, the Ming Navy can only increase at the rate of two ships per year. Especially for the huge ships and cannons, it is not necessary to start building one in a year.

The domestic policy made Li Xiu very angry. But there is no way, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Daming's annual income is so much, and a considerable part of it must be invested in infrastructure construction.
