"General Qi Yuan, that place with fire is the gathering place of the Black Forest tribe!"

The bright moon hangs high, the stars are full of stars, the sea breeze at night, and the blowing flags are hunting!

The rising tide, under the blowing of the night wind, gently slapped the hull of the battleship, and the broken bones of the collision splashed in all directions, and a small part stuck to the ship, along the steel hull, slowly flowed in, and the sea was already pitch black.

On the Dingyuan ship, Qi Yuan held a telescope in his hand, and under the guidance of a young man, he looked at the fire in the forest not far from the coast, and nodded slightly.

Originally, they received the order at noon, and the thirty-mile road would not take much time for the navy, and if it was urgent, it would be enough to move forward as fast as possible.

But just when they were about to move forward at a fast speed and settle the battle before dark, the guide who followed them told Qi Yuan a piece of news that made him change his battle plan.

According to the guides who followed, the natives were rarely in the tribe during the day, and most of the young men would leave the tribe to hunt or go fishing.

If the attack is launched during the day, it is likely that it will only kill some of the old and weak, let the young and strong escape, and then later, the Yanhuang people living in Manila will be attacked by countless troubles and natives.

Knowing this situation, Qi Yuan thought about it for a while and decided to wait for the natives to return at night before launching an attack and annihilating them in one fell swoop.

Qi Yuan, who has a calm personality and is extremely well-behaved, considered that the combat order had been revised, so he thought of asking Zhu Zhangui for instructions.

The result was a scolding.

In Zhu Zhangui's words, "You have to report this bit of, so when you and pee, do you have to notify me?" ”

"You're a fucking general, not a big-headed soldier, report this kind of shit to me next time, you don't have to do it as a corps commander, go to the logistics department as a firehead!"

Deng Yunan, the captain of the Dingyuan ship, who was next to him at the time, heard Zhu Zhangui's scolding on the walkie-talkie, and his face showed a sympathetic expression.

When Qi Yuan reported, he reminded him that this kind of thing did not need to be reported to the top, but Qi Yuan felt that this was not in accordance with the rules, so he rejected his kindness.

It's okay now, I'm scolded, and I'm comfortable.

As a veteran who has followed Zhu Zhangui for many years, Deng Yunan may not have learned much about his fighting skills, but Zhu Zhangui's character is clear to them.

Zhu Zhangui is the kind of person I give you the task, I just want the final result, and I don't ask about any process.

After observing for a while, Qi Yuan retracted his binoculars and ordered to the lieutenant general beside him: "Let the brothers prepare to board the ship, and tell the brothers that this is the first battle since our adaptation, and the task given by His Highness is to kill them all, so be sure to complete the task and give His Highness a beautiful answer." ”

"Here I add another order, when I get to the combat area, except for us, all long-legged creatures must be killed, even a bed bug must be trampled to death for me, even if it is an egg, it will be shaken and broken for me, you know no!"

The lieutenant tugged at the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and saluted, and turned to give the order.

Deng Yunan, the captain of the Dingyuan ship, who was also observing the situation next to him, stretched out his thumb when he heard Qi Yuan's words, and did not express any opinion.

The navy also has its own rules, and they are responsible for the tasks of sea operations, but they are not familiar with the tasks of land operations, so they are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of land warfare.

"Captain Deng, it's up to you next!"

After the order was conveyed from the vice admiral, Qi Yuan looked at Deng Yunan, the captain of the Dingyuan ship, who was still lying on the side of the ship, looking at the situation in the distance.

"No problem, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Since he became the captain of the Dingyuan ship, this battleship has not fired once, and every day is a virtual practice practice and practice.

Not only him, the captain, but also the soldiers under him were already gearing up and impatient.

Today they got the opportunity to fight, and the guys on the Zhenyuan ship don't know how ruthless they are.

Turning back to the command room, Deng Yunan walked to the side of the brass pipe and ordered in a calm voice: "All the No. 1 artillery batteries are there, and where the target fire rises, the main gun will be tested firing." ”

The No. 1 battery, which was already ready for battle, after hearing the captain's order, the sailors blushed with excitement and quickly got busy.

The shell bay next to it slowly opened, and a shell weighing 130kg had been transported out of the ammunition depot and was waiting there.

"Drink!"

Four shirtless men, with a low shout, carried the special pliers for the cannonball, picked up the cannonball, and lifted it.

It was then lifted to the side of the auxiliary loader, and there was a rattling sound, and the thick cannonball entered the chamber.

After making sure that the shells were in, the gun commander on the side, commanding the soldiers next to him, also loaded the propellant into it.

"Gun No. 1 is ready!"

After all the procedures were prepared, the gun commander shouted at the brass beside him.

"Target, xxx, xxx, xxx!"

Soon, a report of the approximate coordinates of the survey tower sounded from the brass pipe.

The gun commander, who received the coordinates, instructed the soldiers to adjust the angle of the artillery according to the coordinate scale of the training drill.

The huge barrel of the cannon slowly rose, pointing little by little, in the direction of the distant fire.

When the barrel was frozen, the soldier in the gun compartment put on earplugs and looked at the gun commander who was pulling the gun rope beside him with an excited face.

"One shot report, shooting ready!"

"I am Deng Yunan, the captain of the Dingyuan ship, and now I order, open fire on the mud monkeys who have killed our compatriots and brothers!"

"Boom!"

The muzzle fire rose, and the shells weighing 130 kg rubbed against the air, emitting a train-like whistle, and whistling towards the place where the fire rose.

In the Heilin tribe, the patriarch who only received the news of reinforcements from the Yanhuang people (Hua is not allowed to write) this afternoon was sitting by the fire with a worried face, thinking about some things.

As the head of the clan, he deeply knew how ruthless they had been in bullying and sneaking up and killing the Yanhuang people for so many years, and those Yanhuang people had long hated them.

Now that the other party has a large number of reinforcements, he doesn't know what Yan Huang thinks, anyway, if it was him, he would definitely bring someone over to find a venue as soon as possible.

"Hamu, you're sure you see that they're all well-armoured, and that there are a lot of huge warships parked on the sea, and two of them made of steel."

After thinking about it for a long time, the patriarch, who couldn't think of a way to deal with it, looked at the clansmen who went to Manila to sell skins today.

"Yes, Grandpa Patriarch, I saw it with my own eyes, their ships are so big, their people are many, many of them are wearing well-dressed armor, look at the defense of that armor, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our wooden spears and blow arrows to hurt them!"

A shy young man quickly answered the patriarch's question.

"Steel battleship, what are you kidding, have you been squeezed by a flower and squeezed your brains, how can steel float on the water."

Before the clansmen could speak, the patriarch's son, the future patriarch, sneered disdainfully.

"But they're really made of steel, and they're very fast, and they don't have sails!"

Seeing that the patriarch's son didn't believe it, the young man hurriedly explained.

But it's okay that he doesn't explain it, and even the leaders around him shook their heads amusedly.

Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?

Steel floats on the water, the boat is still a boat without sails, how can the boat run without sails, and it is pushed forward by people swimming in the sea.

There is a good saying, how can the frog at the bottom of the well know how huge the sky is.

In the minds of the natives, steel, like stone, cannot float on water, and a ship cannot run without sails.

So they deeply suspected that this guy Hamu was frightened by the huge number of Yanhuang people, and began to talk nonsense.

Everyone else was laughing, but the patriarch wasn't.

In fact, he didn't believe Hamu's words in his heart, but Hamu was grown up by him, and this child was honest since he was a child, so it was impossible to lie to him.

So what the other party said is likely to be true, or even more than that.

"Father, you won't believe him, will you?"

The son of the patriarch, who was laughing, saw his father's brows furrowed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and asked a little speechlessly.

Anyway, he didn't believe that steel could float on the sea, and he didn't believe that a ship without sails could sail quickly on the sea.

You want him to believe that all this is true, unless he sees it with his own eyes, or the gods themselves come down to him and tell him that it is all true.

"Well, this kind of thing..."

"Filth, filth..."

The patriarch was just about to express his thoughts, when a roar and a rapid air whistle suddenly sounded on the sea in the distance.

The natives, who were cooking meat on the fire or sitting together and chatting quietly, looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

Then, before they could get up to watch, a deafening roar suddenly came from a mountain forest next to the tribe, and at the same time, there was the sound of the mountain forest collapsing and the earth trembling slightly.

"What's going on? Is it the gods who are angry? ”

"Who knows, if someone's child did something wrong and angered the gods."

There was a commotion, and the tribesmen stood up and looked in horror at the place where the flames had risen.

"Bastard, how do these guys in the Navy shoot their guns!"

On a hillside a few hundred meters away from the explosion site, a soldier dressed in leaves as a camouflage, rubbed his aching chest, cursed in a low voice, picked up the walkie-talkie hanging around his neck, and called out quickly.

"Water fleas call turtle prime minister, the target is offset to the left 300 meters, please revise the target and re-shoot."

When the other side received a reply, the soldier wearing a camouflage net couldn't help but complain to a partner next to him.

"What guy's code name, so ugly."

The partner next to him, who was holding a telescope to observe, chuckled when he heard his companion's complaint, and did not answer the question.

He's just a low-level Marine scout, and he doesn't know which bastard came up with this disgusting codename.

A few minutes later, just as the people of the Black Forest tribe were about to go to the explosion site to see what was going on, there was another deafening rumble on the sea in the distance, followed by the strange chirp just now.

The patriarch, who was about to go to the explosion site with the support of his son, heard this strange sound in the air again, and he couldn't help but feel that something bad was going to happen.

Just as he was about to remind everyone to be careful, the strange voice rushed directly towards them from far and near.

"What East..."

The patriarch's son, who was holding his father, looked at the place where the voice came from, and subconsciously just wanted to say a word, and then there was no more.

I don't know if these people are unlucky or lucky, this test-fired cannonball directly hit their pile.

The explosive power of the 230mm shell is terrifying, even if it is an explosive mixed with ammonium nitrate and black powder, its power is not trivial.

As the tip fuse of the cannonball was triggered, the ammonium nitrate gunpowder in the cannonball was ignited instantly, and then a fireball erupted, and the broken shrapnel flew wildly, and there were no people and animals within more than ten meters around the explosion.

Even if the periphery is a little better, the body is fragmented or something.

In addition to the explosion point, within 50 meters of the explosion, there were also many natives who followed, who were shattered by the earthquake, and died of blood and internal organ fragments.

This 230mm shell can be said to have directly taken away the lives of most creatures within 50 meters of the explosion site, even if it was the internal organs that were not dead.

In the treatment environment of the indigenous people, there is almost no chance of resurrection from this kind of internal organ rupture.

"Hit the target, fire with all your might!"

The observer, who was hiding on the hillside in the distance, was shocked by the power of the ship's guns, and did not forget to report the results to the team.

Deng Yunan, who received the order, stood next to the brass pipe and loudly ordered the whole ship to fire in turn.

The reason why there is no such thing as a salvo is due to the fact that the keel of the battleship could not withstand the recoil of all artillery salvos of 230 caliber.

In order to ensure the safety of the ship, the individual guns will fire in order, even if the advanced battleships of the World War II period, even if they receive the order to fire a salvo, there will be a short interval of a few tenths of a second, the purpose of which is to protect the keel of the ship from damage.

After giving the order, Deng Yunan, who was about to turn around to observe the effect of the shelling, suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran to the copper pipe and shouted: "Save ammunition for Lao Tzu, just shoot three rounds of the main gun, we don't have so many shells, enough for you losers." ”

"Hehehe..."

A burst of laughter emanated from the brass pipes, along with the promised responses of the gun commanders.

"Boom, boom..."

The main guns burst into flames, and the shells rubbed against the air, emitting a sharp whirl, and smashed towards the Black Forest tribe at a rapid pace.

Close to the shore, troop carriers docked there.

A part of the Fifth Marine Corps, which had been on standby for a long time, climbed the rope net and descended to the landing ship below with the help of the fire from the artillery.

"This big scene, I can't see it at ordinary times!"

A veteran who had already boarded the landing craft and helped his brother disembark beside him couldn't help but sigh with emotion while looking at the whistling sound in the sky.

Although he was a veteran, he used to be a soldier in the garrison, and he was still an ancestor, succeeding his father.

He has been a soldier for more than ten years, and he has not fought a war, but the battles he fought were all petty fights with dozens or hundreds of Japanese robbers, and it was more like a brawl to say that it was a war.

For the first time in his life, a scene like today, covered by warships and thousands of soldiers attacking together, was the first time in his life.

"Brother Liu, you said that after we land, will we face the enemy's crazy resistance as those predecessors who have been to the Japanese Kingdom said?"

A recruit who had just enlisted this year, while holding the steel gun in his hand to prevent it from entering the water, he looked at the location of the exploding Heilin tribe in the distance, and nervously asked the veterans around him.

"Hehe, don't worry, the enemy we have to face is an indigenous man who is still wearing a wooden spear and wearing animal skins, and the equipment is not as good as the previous rebels, as long as you don't step into the trap, there is no danger."

"And more importantly!"

The veteran pointed to the sky and said to the recruit with a smile: "Those brainless natives, whether they can withstand such a fierce bombardment, it's not certain, maybe after we go ashore, just clean up the battlefield and clean up the corpses." ”

Hearing the veteran say this, the recruit breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked to the shore.

Before he joined the army, he had heard that every time he cut off his head, there was a reward from the court.

Although different enemies get different rewards, isn't there a good saying? No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are also meat, and these money are all extra money outside of Yulu, and it is a penny to earn a penny.

"Alright, it's full, let's sail!"

Just as the recruits were clutching their guns in a daze, the shouts of officers rang out on the troop carrier.

Then the soldiers on both sides handed their guns to their partners, picked up the oars next to them, and rowed hard.

The boat slid slowly on the waves, sliding by the soldiers.

That is, Sanbangzi is too expensive, and the supermarket is too chicken thief, otherwise Zhu Zhangui will definitely install a propulsion engine on each landing ship to speed up the landing speed of the landing ship.

The reason why the supermarket is too chicken thief is because the supermarket says that the lifelong maintenance and repair is in the absence of most of the parts defective.

Zhu Zhangui once wanted to take advantage of this loophole to remove the engine and replace it with a new three-collapsed one, but the supermarket replied directly that the scrapped vehicle would not be repaired, so Zhu Zhangui pointed to the screen and scolded for a long time.

Sure enough, none of the people who can become a system are brain-dead, this obvious loophole, the supermarket probably knows about it for a long time, just waiting to see Zhu Zhangui's jokes.

The landing ship slowly approached, and the soldiers did not get off the ship as soon as possible, but several veterans jumped down first with wooden sticks prepared in advance.

After disembarking, they carried a shield in one hand and a long wooden stick in the other, and they kept beating around.

This was done because the natives would lay traps around their tribes to prevent the invasion of beast enemies.

Today, 10 scouts were supposed to be dispatched, but 5 of them were injured by the trap.

For this reason, Qi Yuan, who has always had a good temper, opened his mouth to scold his mother.

He couldn't understand how his subordinates, who had been fighting with the Japanese at the beach for so many years, could make such a low-level mistake?

This is also on the battlefield, if it were to change to peacetime, those scouts would have been pulled in front of him and kicked in the ass.

Only when the surrounding safety was confirmed did the soldiers on the boat jump off.

Quickly load the bullet, put on a battle formation, and slowly move forward with the veteran who was exploring the trap in front.

Groups of Marines landed ashore, and when the flotilla received the signal, the roaring secondary guns and the short cannons on the wooden ships stopped.

"Up, up, up!"

One of the officers who led the team, at the moment when the artillery stopped, raised his hand and gave the order to attack.

The soldiers were speechless, holding their rifles and guarding their surroundings as they followed the veterans who were exploring the trap in front of them.

Along the way, it took nearly ten minutes to destroy countless traps, and the marines finally approached the fire-filled tribe.

"Good fellow, this is really good, such a big pit, it's all caught up with the grave pit dug for my father."

A soldier who was vigilant around with a gun inadvertently skimmed the crater from the shell, and subconsciously complained.

The captain next to him raised his hand and slapped him, "You shut up, dare to make a sound, be careful that Lao Tzu kicks you in and buries you, so that your family can even save money for digging pits." ”

Amid a whispered laughter around him, the soldier awkwardly ducked to the side, saving himself from being targeted by the captain again.

The tribe was in shambles, littered with broken corpses and dark red earth stained with blood, the smell of roasted meat was in the air, and the cries of the wounded and the collapse of burning buildings could be heard in the ears of soldiers.

"Work in teams of three and kill all the angry creatures, men and women. Remember to cut off your head, it's our credit, and we'll get it for a reward tomorrow! ”

A squad leader led the team into the tribe, glanced at it, and after seeing that there were no people who were ambushing and resisting, he raised his hand and gave the order to disperse the battle.

One soldier and three people formed a tactical group to cover each other's attack, and finally formed a large offensive combat team with other teams, carrying rifles equipped with bayonets, rushing in one direction to search for the enemy.

"Puff puff!"

The sound of bayonets entering the flesh continued to sound, and no matter whether men, women, children, or women, whether they were dead or not, as long as the corpse was still intact, it would be mended by the soldiers.

The battle, oh no, cleaning the battlefield to be exact, ends in an hour.

The entire tribe no longer has a living mouth, and the soldiers are completely following Qi Yuan's orders, even if it is a chicken, a bed bug, or even a passing long worm, they will be cut into several pieces by them.

A few stupid recruits even checked the surrounding trees, and all those with bird nests on them took out their eggs and shook them and smashed them.

These guys did it all, and there was no sound wherever the army passed.

Early morning of the second day, Manila Governor's Palace.

Zhu Zhangui lifted the splendid quilt and sat up, stretched his waist, revealing his chest full of scars.

"Your Highness, are you going to get up? Slave and maid are here to serve you. ”

A soft voice sounded from the side, Zhu Zhangui turned his head to look, a young girl with a shy expression, looking at him shyly and timidly, her watery eyes blinking gently, full of anticipation.

Zhu Zhangui nodded with a smile.

The girl's face showed joy, she got up and got out of bed, she didn't even care about wearing her own clothes, so she was going to get the clothes that Zhu Zhangui took off last night hanging on the shelf next to her.

"Ouch!"

As soon as the girl got up, she stumbled on her feet, and squatted down with a slight frown.

"It's alright!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was shaking his neck for morning exercise, hurriedly turned sideways to help the girl up and asked softly.

"The slave is fine, just get used to it for a while."

The girl's face was blushing, and she slowly got up, and walked unnaturally to the hanger next to her.

The girl's name is Xu Ruoying, and she is Xu Chai's granddaughter.

Xu Chai, the old thing, in order to tie up with Daming, also means to get in and out, and last night he was even more cheeky and sent his granddaughter to Zhu Zhangui's room.

You must know that Xu Ruoying is not even 16 years old this year, and Xu Chai Lao directly gave it to Zhu Zhangui as a maid for his status and rights.

At such a young age, he has no choice in life, what a beast!

Zhu Zhangui shook his head and sighed slightly, got up and walked out of bed, and under the service of Xu Ruoying and his maid, he put on his clothes and walked out of the resting room.

When he came to the living room, the old man was enjoying an exotic breakfast, and Xu Chai was waiting with a smile on his face.

The old man didn't care about the extra girl next to his grandson, but just beckoned Zhu Zhangui to come over for breakfast.

Being in the royal family, this kind of thing is unavoidable, in order to win the hearts of his subordinates, or for some political purposes, there are some people and things, you have to collect.

Of course, what status she can achieve in the future after entering the family depends on the performance of the girl and her family.

If Xu Chai is old and does not get the approval of him or Zhu Fat and Zhu Zhangui in the future, this girl named Xu Ruoying is estimated to be a servant girl for the rest of her life.

This is royalty, there is no affection between men and women, only the exchange of interests.

"Your Highness, Qi Yuan and Deng Yunan are out asking to see you."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui sat down, the monkey who replaced Hu Yu as his personal guard whispered in his ear.

"I see, let them take their things first and wait for me at the docks."

After speaking, Zhu Zhangui looked at Xu Chai Lao again, "Mr. Xu, please ask Ling Gongzi to cooperate with my people, what should I do, my people will tell him." ”

"Yes, yes, let the dog go over and report immediately."

Xu Chai Lao responded with joy on his face.

He is old and will not live for a few years, and whether his son can inherit his place in the future depends on the performance of his son and his granddaughter in the future.

Now the effect is evident.

His granddaughter was just sent to bed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, and today's son of his own family got the opportunity to perform.

Thinking of this, he secretly thought in his heart that he must explain to his son to do things beautifully and perfectly, and by the way, he will discuss with his son and send Xu Ruoying's sister Xu Ruowen over.

The harem is a place where flowers are vibrant, and beautiful women are everywhere, and if you want to get ahead, you can't do it without some means.

This granddaughter of her own, although she has nothing to say about her appearance and figure, is a single person after all, and with someone to help her, there may be more opportunities.

Although his little granddaughter is only 13 years old this year, she is also a beauty, and she has small benefits.

The crown prince is surrounded by beautiful women, but those are all grown, and the first two times are just a fresh taste, and it is estimated that it will get tired after a long time, so changing the taste for the crown prince may not have unexpected effects.
