Chapter Ninety-One: Attacking the Island
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and finally it was the fifteenth, this night the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the sea breeze was strong, Zheng He led twenty treasure ships to set off towards Alcatraz Island, and it was rare to mobilize so many warships at one time, which was enough to see that this patrol made the adults attach great importance to the Black Panther Pirate Gang, or not to make a move, and as soon as they made a move, they would uproot the other party and completely wipe it out.
"Brother, why do others call you Chen Mazi? What's your real name? Eiffel asked with a smile.
"My real name is Chen Wen, as for why I am called Chen Mazi, to be honest, I don't know, maybe my reputation is not very good, and outsiders think that I am murderous, so I was given this nickname." Chen Mazi patted his chest and said, "King of the Iron Tower, I can swear to God, although I have been a pirate for so many years and have robbed many ships, I am just asking for money, and I have never killed anyone, not a single one!" All those murders and arsons were done by the Panther, and I just carried the black pot for him. ”
"What an oath! Don't I believe you? Iron Tower smiled, "I made a general observation that day, the fortifications of Alcatraz Island are quite standard, and there are even gun emplacements, presumably this is also your masterpiece, right?" ”
Mention this Chen Mazi on a sad and indignant face, "I have been familiar with military books since childhood, hoping to serve the imperial court one day, who knows that those who are officials not only wantonly deduct military salaries, but also beat and scold soldiers at will, I retired from the army in a fit of anger, and took a group of fellow villagers to Nanyang to run the boat, I didn't expect to meet pirates on the first delivery to the sea, and the silver that the whole village worked so hard to put together is gone, where do I have the cheek to go back to China?" had to lead everyone to join Chen Zuyi's pirate gang. Chen Mazi shook his head as he spoke, to be honest, he also hated pirates, if it weren't for their evil, maybe he would have a fleet by now, and he could even return home.
The tower listened quietly, and he couldn't imagine that his life experience was so bumpy.
"Later, I came to Alcatraz Island, in order to resist the encirclement and suppression of the government, I spent a lot of money to cast a lot of earthen cannons, after so many years of operation, today's Alcatraz Island can be said to be impregnable. Alas! I didn't expect it to be destroyed today. Chen Mazi sighed, the military fortress he had carefully built would cease to exist after tonight, which was really a pity.
The tower patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "If it is not broken, it will not stand, only by destroying it completely can you forget the days when you were a pirate in the past and live a new life." ”
"A new life? Is there any hope for me? Chen Mazi looked longing.
"Don't be discouraged, there will be." Tie Ta said categorically, "Throw away the shameful name of Chen Mazi now, and from this moment on, you will be Chen Wen again." ”
"Yes!" Chen Wen couldn't help but shed tears of excitement, he had waited for this moment for more than 20 years.
After two hours of sailing, the target of this military strike was already in front of it, and the treasure ship was guided by Chen Wen to the southwest of Alcatraz Island, where there was a hidden harbor where all the pirate ships were docked. Cavalry warfare pays attention to shooting people and horses first, and the same is true of naval warfare, as long as the ship is destroyed, the pirates will become turtles in the urn, and they can only be captured.
"Fire!" At Zheng He's order, countless cannonballs flew out with a whistling whistle, and fell into the port accurately through the woods, and the ground shook suddenly, the flames were monstrous, and more than a hundred pirate ships were all blown to pieces.
……
"It's a good thing!" At this time, the black panther was sitting on the tiger skin chair and playing with the two muskets, "This Smith is really a wronged man, he sent so much gold when he was alive, and he left me these two treasures after his death." Of course, I didn't treat him badly, I poured two hundred-year-old trees to make him a good coffin, even the big bear didn't have such a good treatment, if it wasn't for the sake of the brothers, I wouldn't want to give him the broken straw mat. Well! Not bad. "The panther made an aiming move, Smith had a lead and a big bag of iron pellets in his pocket, and his head was not stupid, he understood the use of the musket at a glance, and used it to kill the captain of the water ghost team, Wang Wu, this guy didn't take me as the second boss in his eyes because he was Chen Mazi's fellow countryman, not only prevented me from taking over as the big boss, but also prepared to rebel with his water ghost team, I really didn't know how to lift, just killed him Liwei, and the result also proved that my decision was correct, As soon as the gunshots rang out, the group of Chinese people immediately became honest.
"Two masters...... No! The big boss, the officers and soldiers called. At this moment, a small pirate leader ran in in a panic, and was so frightened that he almost got the name wrong, but luckily the panther was in a good mood now, otherwise the kid would be in trouble.
"What's the panic, Alcatraz Island is impregnable, they can't attack it." The panther pinned the musket to his waist, and immediately felt full of confidence and pride.
"But they have cannons! All the ships in the harbor were blown up. The little boss said in fear, when did the big boss become so brave?
"Why not fight back? Are our cannons ornaments? The panther walked angrily towards Niubei Ridge, where there were ten iron cannons, enough for those officers and soldiers to drink a pot.
"The officers and soldiers know Alcatraz Island well, and there must be acquaintances to lead the way. Oh! I know, it must be Chen Mazi, he is not dead yet! The panther thought as he walked, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he figured out the whole thing. I'm not going to sit still, and even if I die, I'll have to pull a few pads. The Black Panther clearly remembered that night when the Huaxia warships chased after him, and since they did not accept surrender, they would fight to the death.
With a "boom", a cannonball fell more than two feet in front of the treasure ship, raising a high column of water, and the iron cannons on the island began to counterattack under the command of the black panthers, but their range was limited, and there was no threat to the treasure ship at all.
If weapons and equipment are an important factor in determining the outcome of the war, then intelligence is the decisive factor in victory, the treasure ship carried out precise strikes under the guidance of Chen Wen, and from time to time there were clusters of fires in the bushes, each of which meant that a battery was destroyed, which cleared the way for sailors to land on the island to suppress bandits.
The battle at sea was fierce, the sky was changing, at this time a large dark cloud floated over, just covering the moon, the sea was suddenly dark, the southeast wind that was originally blowing to the island suddenly turned into a northwest wind, the flag on the treasure ship hunted in the fierce sea breeze, and the sea began to recede!
God help me! The panther was overjoyed, his cannon couldn't hit the other party, he was already ready to abandon the island and escape, since the wind direction has changed now, it means that there is still hope to fight, rather than go out to be a panicked lost dog, it is better to stay in his lair more safely. "Ignition!" The panther sneered, the thirty boats in the dark cave had been transferred from the harbor a few days ago, so that they could play a role at the critical moment, and now he had proved that his decision was very wise.
The fire flickered on the sea, followed by a raging fire, and dozens of small boats loaded with dry fire oil shot towards the treasure ship, outpacing the galloping horses in the sea breeze.
"Oops! I didn't think these guys would use fire attacks, but I underestimated them. Zheng He's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly ordered the treasure ships to scatter and separate, fire attack is the most primitive and effective method of attack, Cao Cao's 800,000 naval army was defeated in this way, and it must not be taken lightly.
The tower threw the eight immortal tables on the bow of the ship into the sea, and then the people also pounced, just standing on the table, opening the bow left and right with both palms, and the strong wind struck out, and the first small boat "boom" turned into sparks, and then sank to the bottom of the sea.
The sailors watched with great interest the performance of the tower, only to see that he was suddenly on the left and on the right, like a nimble shark, and those small boats were the prey he chased, and each shot would explode a brilliant firework on the surface of the sea, and then eternal darkness.
The pirates on the island were all stunned, and it was better to take a leisurely stroll in the rough seas, was this still human? The black panther was even more dead, he knew that he had provoked an opponent he couldn't provoke.
The sky was quietly white, and the sea seemed to be a little tired after a manic night, and finally became calm.
"Rush!" Hundreds of dinghies rushed to Alcatraz Island, and the sailors, led by Chen Wen and Tie Tower, slaughtered the pirates, and the way was devastating and invincible.
At this time, there was also a sound of fighting on the mountain, and a large group of people wearing black conjoined water leaners killed from above.
"It's the Water Ghosts! Great, they're still alive. Chen Wen was surprised and delighted, the people who defected were all the old folks who had followed him for many years, to be honest, he was worried about them all the time these days, the black panther was narrow-minded, and he would definitely not give them a good look, and now he was so happy to see them safe and sound.
"Stop fighting, we surrender." The battle ended faster under the front and rear attacks, and the pirates who were lucky enough to survive dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
In a hidden cave on the island, the panther was scrambling to pack up the gold and silver, and now he regretted it, he was still a little blindly optimistic, if only he left early.
"What else to pack? You don't need it anyway. Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the cave, this voice was too familiar to the black panther, it was Chen Mazi!
"Big brother, for the sake of you and my brother for many years, spare my life!" The black panther's legs were weak, and the gold and silver in his baggage were scattered all over the ground, and it was not Chen Mazi who made him so afraid, but the buffalo beside him, this guy's combat power was too strong.
"Brother? It's a shame that you still have the face to mention the word brother, you colluded with the ghost guy to kill the third child, and I came today to avenge him. Chen Wen said coldly, "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance, as long as you win, I can leave." ”
"Really?" The panther was overjoyed, Chen Mazi's martial arts were indeed much higher than his own, but he was shot by Smith that day, although so many days have passed, his injuries should not have fully recovered, so his chances of winning have greatly increased, plus he still has two muskets on his body, and he gave his mother a shot at the critical moment, I don't believe that the buffalo can dodge.
Chen Wen didn't bother to talk to him, and directly punched him in front of the door, and it was a shame to say a word to such a person.
The panther blocked this move with both arms, and when he raised his right leg, it was a knee hit, and the end was extremely ruthless. This guy has been learning Muay Thai for more than ten years, and every move and style he uses is all aimed at killing, and countless people have died under his hands over the years.
Chen Mazi flashed sideways, and then there was an extremely hidden sweeping leg, which just swept across his left leg. The black panther fell to the ground with a "snap", and before he could get up, he was punched in the back of the head, and his brains were all knocked out, he didn't understand until the moment he died, he had also fought with Chen Mazi in the past, and the two had to fight for twenty or thirty rounds to determine the winner, why did they lose so quickly this time?
"The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat!" Chen Wen sneered, he usually cares about his brotherhood, and he only uses three successes every time he fights, and he pretends to fight with him inextricably, but he didn't expect that his forbearance was taken advantage of by him, and it was a pity for someone like him who didn't know what to do.
"Congratulations, you have finally avenged your brother." Tieta smiled, "Your wound is open, do you want me to help you take a look?" ”
"It's not a big deal, I can still bear this pain." Chen Wen touched the bleeding wound and said disapprovingly.
The sailors had cleaned up the battlefield and the battle was fruitful, killing not only more than two thousand pirates, but also five or six hundred prisoners, and the notorious Black Panther pirate gang ceased to exist.
The army triumphed, and Lord Shi led all the colleagues of the Xuanwei Division to come out to greet him.
"Master Shi, these captives will be handed over to you." Zheng He said.
"Where's the bandit leader Chen Mazi?" Actually daring to do evil in his own territory for so many years, Lord Shi really wanted to see the true face of this opponent, and then humiliate him fiercely.
"He? He was killed by a cannon and his bones were gone. Zheng He said lightly.
Tie Ta secretly laughed, I didn't expect this buddy to lie and his face didn't change, the real situation was that Chen Wen took his group of Huaxia brothers away, as for where he went, no one knows, anyway, he has given them enough gold and silver, and he doesn't have to worry about life in this life.
Solved the bandits, the Daming Sailor is ready to set off again, before leaving, the tower entrusted Lord Shi to transfer three hundred taels of silver to Ade, and if he broke other people's things, he had to show a little, the money was enough for him to buy a lot of boats, and the excess should be regarded as an informant fee!
