Chapter 490: Sneak Attack by the Would-be Bandits

In the port of Ningbo Prefecture, large and small ships are moored, and the porters on the wharf come and go, shouting and shouting and trumpeting one after another, a bustling and lively scene.

And not far away from the sea, dozens of unidentified ships are rapidly approaching here.

「…… His grandfather's, it seems that there are at least dozens of large cargo ships, if they are all snatched up and driven away, we will be developed! Where is there any need to be a junior brother of Fujiwara Uchihara, and you can directly establish yourself as a king and become a prince!"

On one of the ships, a Japanese coward looked at it for a long time with a Western binocular, and his eyes lit up with excitement, and he wanted to rush over and take all the ship's cargo for himself.

"Brothers, copy guys, get ready to do a big job!"

……

While the would-be robbers were gearing up, in the port, Gu Yunji, who was dressed in light military uniforms, was also highly concentrated, paying close attention to the situation at sea.

"Master Gu, do you think Gao Shishu will they come? If they don't come, won't we prepare in vain?"

Gu Yunji put down the binoculars and said to Shen Baiyi: "We released the news early on, saying that there is a large number of goods handed over in Ningbo Prefecture, and the Japanese robbers think that our recent defense focus is in Fujian, and it is impossible for them not to come to such a big gap."

Shen Baiyi's eyes were worried: "I'm just worried that Gao Shishu is suspicious, if he finds out that we deliberately set a trap and wait for him to take the bait, it will definitely become more and more shrinking Mingsha Island, and then it will be even more difficult to completely exterminate the Japanese bandits."

"Gao Shishu is now almost cut off from food and grass, even if he continues to shrink? It's not like I'm waiting to die." Su Qi on the side interjected, "Now they have no way out, even if they suspect that this is a trap, they can only jump in without hesitation and fight the last one."

"Newspaper—"

At this time, a herald hurriedly ran over: "General, a large number of unknown ships have been found in front of me rapidly approaching, and it is suspected that the Japanese are sneaking up!"

"Sure enough, it's coming!"

Su Qi perked up when he heard this, and immediately led everyone forward: "Tell you to go down and prepare to fight!"

——

「…… There are still 200 steps to go...... One hundred steps...... Fifty steps...... That's enough distance, drop the bomb!"

With the order from the Japanese invaders, the pirates aimed at a large cargo ship moored on the outskirts of the harbor and dropped a large number of lime bombs and incendiary bombs. The white smoke instantly filled the air, and the figures on the ship were scattered as the firelight jumped, and there was a faint panicked shout.

Looking at this long-lost melee scene, the pirates seemed to see a fierce beast struggling with their prey, and a stream of blood rushed straight to their brains, and the cells all over their bodies were shouting to kill.

They brandished their weapons and screamed and threw grappling hooks and ladders at the cargo ship, and when they boarded the ship, they were dumbfounded.

"What about people? Why no one!"

On the huge cargo ship, the white smoke was still filling, but it was empty inside and out, and there was no one, like a ghost ship.

With a bang, a widow with a knife broke open the boxes containing the goods, and there was no doubt that they were all empty. The whole ship was an empty shell from top to bottom, not to mention people, not even a living thing.

"Damn! We've been tricked!" The leader of the wolf slammed his fist on the box, gritting his teeth with hatred.

The rest of the widows suddenly panicked: "So, what then? Boss, is there an ambush waiting for us in the government? Let's go back to the helper first......

"Panic what! Even if we want to go back, we have to find out the situation clearly, we are the pioneers, if we just go back to see the helper with black eyes, it will be strange if we have good fruit to eat!"

The man scolded viciously, and his face was gloomy: "I heard someone on the boat shouting in a panic from a distance, even if it is pretended, it must be pretended. In such a short period of time, they must not have gone far, search! I can slaughter one!"

"Yes!"

After some searching, they found a trace, and a widow pointed to the sea not far away from the stern of the ship and shouted, "Look, chief, there they are!"

The leader looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a small boat with several of them

People who looked like officers and soldiers were quickly rowing towards the port. I think it's to confuse the mission to be completed, and I'm going to go back to my boss.

"Heh, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are really bold, and even a few people dare to come and lure them. It's just that the movements are still so slow, and I don't know how to escape faster, so I can only say that you are unlucky to meet me." The wolf sneered twice, and fierceness flashed in his eyes, "Bring a bow and arrow!"

Taking the bow and arrow handed by his subordinates, the Japanese coke pulled it to the maximum with all his strength, aimed at the officers and soldiers on the small boat not far away, and narrowed his eyes: "*** officers and soldiers, Lao Tzu is sending you to the ...... Hmm!"

Before the arrows were fired, they heard a "bang" explosion, and the fire flashed in front of their eyes, and after they came to their senses, several of them were left with large and small charred holes, which were gushing out of blood.

The previous one who drew the bow took the most ammunition, and his body instantly softened, killing him instantly.

The small firearms of this era were fired with multiple lead bullets or iron bullets at a time, which belonged to the range of killing, and several Japanese soldiers were injured to varying degrees. In severe cases, blood oozes from the corners of their mouths, and they roll on the ground in extreme pain, screaming miserably, until their strength is completely exhausted, and then they slowly die.

A few lightly injured Japanese robbers were frightened like gold paper, and looked around in panic, only to find that dozens of "cargo ships" in front of them were slowly approaching them, and the ships were not merchants, but a row of black guns with guns and officers and soldiers who described themselves as upright.

The pirates were stunned, trembling for a while, how could they care about robbing any goods, and ran back with a lot of urine and, shouting, "Retreat! Fall back! There's an ambush—"

……

"Phew-this Franc Robot Man's musket feels really good, with high accuracy and small recoil, much better than the old style that the Divine Machine Battalion eliminated more than ten years ago."

On one of the ships full of officers and soldiers, Su Qi blew the smoke of the musket in his hand, and said with a relaxed face: "I still have to give Your Majesty a few more folds to let the imperial court put the manufacture of firearms on the agenda, such a good musket, of course, we must give our coastal officers and soldiers a shot, so that we can train the most powerful sailors."

Gu Yunji said helplessly: "There is one musket per person, even the Shenji Battalion does not have such a good configuration, and it would be good to be able to equip half of the soldiers with firearms at that time." What's more, it's still early, and now it's important to cut down the grass and eradicate it."

As he spoke, the herald ran over and said, "My lords, the Japanese have fled in the direction of Mingsha Island."

"This is going to escape? It doesn't seem to be very beaten."

Su Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then retracted his expression, and said with a straight face: "Pass my order, all departments quickly form a team, and go all out to pursue Gao Shishu and his henchmen, don't let one escape!"
