Chapter 307: Heavy Rain

At this moment, in the sea area of Qiongzhou, thousands of miles of waves, the endless sea surface was shrouded in a black curtain, and the earth-shattering waves swept in, making a deafening roar.

No matter how large a creature or a fleet is, it looks small in front of the endless ocean.

The Qiongzhou sailors have already gone to sea.

They patrol each other in the northern part of Qiongzhou Island every month with the Guangzhou Naval Division.

The sophistication of its fleet and the strength of its troops are by no means comparable to the Yazhou Water Camp in the southern part of Qiongzhou Island.

"Our fleet has arrived in the waters near Changhua, and now the wind and waves are too strong, do you want to go to the coast of Changhua to take refuge?"

On a three-masted Daifuku ship, a sailor flag officer hurried to the ship's tower and asked several generals in a loud voice.

"Now, the border of Changhua is full of pirates, and we are waiting for the sailors and the Zhenbiao battalion to divide their troops and go directly to Changhua, I am afraid that we will encounter pirates." An elderly lieutenant general spoke.

"The Zhenbiao battalion is mostly infantry, presumably just arrived in Danzhou at this time, and now the wind and waves are too big, if we are pirates, we will definitely go to the coast of Changhua to anchor, if we avoid the wind and waves and go to Changhua port to hide, we will inevitably encounter a pirate fleet." Several generals present were sad and discussed.

This time, they were adventurous.

did not wait for the arrival of the town's green camp in Danzhou, so he hurriedly marched.

Now, I actually encountered a storm in the Changhua Sea, and it was really neither advancing nor retreating.

"It's too late to wait for Wu Qijue's green battalion." The leader looked at the gray sky in the distance and made up his mind.

"The whole team turned to Changhua Harbor."

With the turn of the flagship, a group of more than 20 ships of all sizes soon followed, and the target was the local seaport of Changhua.

At this time, the area of Changhua County was hit by a sudden storm.

It was also pouring rain throughout the county, and the soldiers hid in makeshift tents to avoid the heavy rain.

Fortunately, the temporary expansion and reinforcement of the county seat of Changhua was completed a few days ago.

The officers and men of the Marine Battalion did not have to complete the construction of the city defense in heavy rain.

As for this sudden rainstorm, it was common for the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

In Luzon, stormy days were common, so the Ming officers and soldiers adapted to such weather.

It's just that the artillerymen are suffering, and the hard labor.

I saw a simple wooden tent being overturned by a strong wind.

Several six-pounder guns were enveloped in a raging storm in an instant.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" A captain roared heartbreakingly.

More than a dozen artillery men and hard laborers hurriedly rushed over in the wind and rain.

These bronze cannons were expensive, though the mere storm didn't wear them down.

However, the officers and men who regarded the artillery as their fate naturally would not let the artillery blow in the wind and rain.

Some of the lighter guns, such as the Franc cannon, had been carried to the castle tower at the moment.

The city tower was urgently expanded by the Ming army during this period.

At this time, more than a dozen small cannons of the Ming army and a large number of powder kegs were piled up here.

After all, heavy rains are bound to cause stagnant water and even torrents, and only on the highest tower can they be safe. …

A large number of licorice stacks were piled up on the castle towers.

Looking at the Ming officers and soldiers who were constantly busy in and out of the city, Wang An spat out.

"If we send troops directly, we have already captured Qiongshan at this time, where do we still need to suffer this bird spirit here?"

Listening to Wang An's complaints, several generals on the side did not dare to speak.

After all, the order to garrison the army in situ was jointly put forward by Xiao Wu and Li Du.

It's just that Wang An dared to complain.

At this time, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army in Danzhou were also miserable.

Because it is clear that this storm is being transported in a northerly direction.

The officers and men of the Zhenbiao Battalion had just arrived in Danzhou, and soon after, they were suddenly hit by this storm.

The simple marching tents could not stop the ravages of the storm.

And where can the Danzhou Green Battalion garrison accommodate so many officers and soldiers of the Qing Army's Green Battalion.

As a result, a large number of Qing officers and soldiers had to hide in civilian houses and live in the same house with the people of Danzhou.

Of course, there are also some scum in the army who forcibly seize the houses and drive out all the old and small people in the houses.

For a time, under the storm, the whole city was crying and screaming.

"Holy, when will this rainstorm stop?" Looking at the intensifying rainstorm, Liu Bao couldn't help but curse secretly.

At this time, the faces of the Qing generals were also solemn.

Like the generals of the Ming army, the generals of the Qing army also wanted to fight a quick battle at this time.

After all, the battle situation on Qiongzhou Island will soon be reported to the Governor of Liangguang.

If the Governor of Liangguang and the General of Liangguang learned of the battle situation on Qiongdao, the Green Battalion guarding the island still failed to exterminate these pirates, I am afraid that the generals of the Green Battalion on the whole island would have to be killed.

"How long will it take for this rainstorm?" Wu Qijue looked at the sky in the distance and muttered.

"My lord, the Qiongzhou sailor has already left Danzhou for Changhua two days ago." Danzhou battalion guerrilla Ma Dianlin Road.

"My lord, if nothing else, I'm afraid that the Qiongzhou Navy Master will go to the harbor off the coast of Changhua with the pirate fleet to take refuge." Town Landmark Right Camp Tour

Dear, this chapter is not finished, and there is the next page ^0^ hit Wang Ruidao.

"That's what worries me the most." Wu Qijue sighed.

This is what really worries Wu Qijue.

He didn't expect that the officers and soldiers of these Qiongzhou Navy Divisions would dare to attack rashly.

After all, he and the generals of the Qiongzhou Navy Division agreed that as soon as the second battalion of the town standard arrived, they would march together by land and water.

Unexpectedly, the Qiongzhou Navy Division waited left and right to wait for the arrival of the army, and actually took the first step.

"My lord, please give the last general 500 soldiers, and the last general personally led 500 soldiers to march in the rain, kill under the city of Changhua, and take advantage of the pirates' unpreparedness to exterminate them together." Liu Bao asked for battle.

"With such a downpour and muddy roads, how can a general take five hundred officers and soldiers to the battle?" Wang Rui vetoed.

"I think this plan is feasible, and now that the rain is pouring, the pirates must be unprepared, and the Qiongzhou sailors must go to Haikou near Changhua to take shelter from the wind and waves, but they can also respond." Ma Dianlin, a guerrilla from the Danzhou battalion, nodded and affirmed Liu Bao's proposal.

"With such a torrential rain, the soldiers must have complaints." Wang Rui said again.

"After they were promised to attack the county seat of Jinchanghua, they would be allowed to plunder for three days." Liu Bao said disapprerovingly.

As long as the pirates can be expelled and the county seat can be recovered, it will be a great achievement, and for the officials of Qiongzhou, it will not lose the sheep.

As for the lives and losses of the people of Changhua, it is not something that the generals of the green battalion should consider.

"General Liu, you personally led 500 officers and soldiers of the left battalion of Zhenbiao to recover Changhua." Wu Qijue nodded and ordered.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
