"Haha, I see those golden retriever and red-haired ghost were scared by us last night, and they don't have the courage to fight again!" An officer said mockingly. The soldiers next to him laughed loudly, and their eyes showed contempt.

When night fell, the smoke curled up in the city, and the soldiers and mercenaries sat around the campfire, chatting and laughing while eating, drinking, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. And the residents of the city, too, swept away their previous fears, and brought wine and meat to reward the soldiers and mercenaries. Everyone eats, drinks, talks and laughs, and has a good time.

The soldiers and the people came to toast to the Guanping and Guanshan brothers, and the two brothers did not refuse, and the bowl was dry, which was very bold. Singers and dancers toasted through the crowd, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Unconsciously, the wine was lit up, and the noisy and lively atmosphere finally calmed down, and the whole city seemed to have fallen asleep.

At this time, a fleet of small boats quietly docked on the north bank, and then hundreds of elite England in light armor and short soldiers landed on the shore and came to the north gate. At this time, several sentries at the north gate were sitting around the campfire and chatting, completely unaware that hundreds of English had arrived outside the gate. At the same time, an English fleet approached the north shore under the cover of night, and a large group of men and horses landed on the coast far from the city gate, lurking in the shadows, only to wait for the raiding force to seize the city gate, and then poured into the city.

The elite of England, who had come to the city gate, shot a hook into the shadowy part of the city wall, and there were a few soft clicks. When one of the sentries heard this, he turned his head to look, but saw nothing, and asked his companions in some confusion, "Do you hear any sound?" A companion said with a smile: "Could it be the sound of a fan in the Spring Garden calling the bed!" Several people laughed ambiguously, and one swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but say, "Those fans are so fucking tempting!" It's a pity that we are soldiers and can't enjoy it! Several other people couldn't help but feel this way, and one said: "But if you can marry a fan head and go home, that's not bad!" ”

The person next to him said angrily: "You kid said stupid things!" If you want to enjoy it, it's right to find fans, but you can't find them if you marry a wife! Haha, I don't know how many cuckolds I will give you when I find them as my wife! The crowd burst into laughter.

Burst! A sharp arrow suddenly pierced the chest of a sentry. The crowd who was laughing was shocked, and then realized that they had been attacked, and quickly drew their knives and stood up. At this moment, a puff of arrows flew towards them, and all the sentinels fell down one after another.

Immediately, I saw more than a dozen elite England come out of the darkness and observe the surrounding situation. Seeing that the enemy did not notice him, the leader immediately signaled to the outside of the city. Immediately, more than a dozen hooks shot up, and hundreds of England elites climbed the city wall along the hooks.

The English officer who led the team then left half of the men to guard the city, and at the same time lit three bonfires. He himself led the other half of his men down the walls and stormed the gates.

There were more than two dozen guards at the gate of the city, and suddenly many people rushed to kill them, and they were cut down in half by surprise. However, after all, the Ming army was brave and good at fighting, and the remaining half immediately counterattacked in shock. The two sides fought at the gate of the city, and for a moment the sword light flashed and the flesh and blood flew everywhere. The Ming soldiers were extremely brave, wielding their swords and slashing one enemy after another, but there were so many enemies that they were soon overwhelmed by the enemy and they all fell in pools of blood.

The elite of England seized the gates in one fell swoop and opened them immediately. It was thousands of England Marines who had already come to the city gates, and when they saw the city gates open, they rushed in.

The lookout, standing on the watchtower on the western coast, heard some commotion coming from the north, and couldn't help but look north. I vaguely saw that many soldiers and horses seemed to be pouring into the city gate, and in a panic, I hurriedly rang the alarm bell. When Dangdang ......, the loud sound of the alarm bell broke the silence of the night, and the soldiers and people who were immersed in sleep woke up one after another.

Guan Ping staggered to his feet, looked in the direction the alarm bell came from, and frowned: "What's the matter?" Is the enemy coming? ”

An officer covered in blood stumbled over and said urgently, "My lord, it's not good! The enemy is in the city! Guan Shan, Guan Ping, and Zhang Hong were shocked. Guan Ping shouted angrily: "What the fuck are you talking nonsense? How could it be that as soon as the alarm sounded, the enemy attacked the city! The officer said, "It's true!" His subordinates led a patrol to patrol the streets, and ran into the enemy coming from the north, and the two sides fought fiercely, and only one of his subordinates escaped! As if in response to his words, there were bursts of exclamations and fighting voices not far from the north.

Guan Ping frowned, picked up the big knife in his hand, and yelled at Zhang Shun: "Brother, pay attention to the west, I'll deal with those bastards!" Then he yelled at Zhang Hong: "The people of the dart bureau come with me!" Zhang Hong promised loudly and immediately greeted everyone behind him.

Guan Ping led a team of soldiers and horses, and Zhang Hong led the dart divisions of the dart bureau to the north. In the streets and alleys, they encountered the enemy who was killing people everywhere and setting fire to looting property, and immediately fought back. The two sides immediately scuffled. I cut you to the ground, you poked me down in the ditch, the sword reflected the fire, and the blood spilled everywhere; Screams and roars, one after another.

Several English soldiers saw that a Ming soldier in front of them cut down one of their soldiers to the ground, and immediately waved their weapons and howled and rushed over, several people besieged one, and the Ming soldier was defeated on the spot, and his arm was cut off and pierced through the chest. At this moment, two Ming soldiers rushed out of the alley behind the English soldiers, swung their knives and slashed at several English soldiers, and in the screams, several English soldiers also fell in a pool of blood.

While the city was in the midst of the scuffle, drums sounded on the sea, and the main fleet of England rushed straight towards the city. The artillery fire of both sides shook the sea and the sky, and the orange flames bloomed in the night from time to time, and the huge English fleet seemed to be like a huge wave that was about to engulf the whole city. To the south, Hood and Horatio led nearly 10,000 marines to attack the city, and the cannon fire on the city walls rumbled, but this time the fierce artillery fire could not stop the charge of the English army, and they rushed straight to the city walls, erected ladders and stormed the city. The Ming defenders kept firing arrows, the rolling stones and trees poured down like a waterfall, and the English soldiers were smashed to the flesh and blood, but they still rushed upward, and the scene was vigorous.

The fierce battle in the northern city continues, and there are scenes of bloody slaughter everywhere. The English army in the northern city faced the Ming army and mercenaries who were frantically counterattacking, and gradually could not resist. However, the situation in the west and south is becoming more and more unfavorable, and the offensive of the English army is so fierce that they are all crazy! The artillery bombarded desperately, the infantry army rushed desperately, and the corpses of both sides continued to pile up on the top of the city! The slaughterhouse is not enough to describe such a bloody scene!

The English army in the north city finally couldn't hold on, and withdrew from the city one after another under the fierce counterattack of the Ming army and mercenaries, and the north gate was slammed shut.

Guan Ping then left mercenaries to guard the northern city wall, and he himself led his soldiers and horses to the southern city wall.

The main fleet of England and the marines to the south continued to attack the city, but they could not help but be suspicious when they saw from a distance that the battle in the north had gradually calmed down. Immediately, he felt that the defensive force in front of him had not only not weakened, but had strengthened, and only then did he know that the troops attacking the northern city had lost and retreated. The morale of the English army inevitably suffered, and the offensive was much worse than before. When Nelson saw that he had almost taken the city, he couldn't help but be annoyed. Although he was unwilling, but now that his spirit had been defeated, it would be a waste of strength to continue fighting, so he had to order all armies to stop attacking.

The fleet on the sea stopped attacking and retreated to the point where the attack started, while the marines to the south also stopped attacking and retreated. A vigorous and noisy battle gradually came to an end.

Guan Ping sat on the ground with a smile on his face: "It's so fucking dangerous!" It's almost over! Guan Shan also sat down. The two brothers looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Guan Ping said: "It's okay! Fuck, good luck! I thought I couldn't hold it, but I didn't expect to be repelled by us! Looks like God is still helping us! In the future, Lao Tzu will no longer scold God! Ha ha! Guan Shan said: "Brother, we were too careless this time, and we almost caused a big disaster, but we can't be careless!" Guan Ping nodded and said, "You're right! Before this battle is over, Lao Tzu will never drink again! Then he rushed to Guan Shan and said: "Brother, you go and count how much we have lost?" Zhang complied and ran down.

Not long after, Guan Shan returned to Guan Ping, hugged his fists and said, "Brother, the approximate losses have been counted." Nearly a thousand were killed and nearly a thousand wounded. The enemy's attack is really fierce enough! ”

Guan Ping frowned, "Damn! It's a bad feeling to be caught off guard! He looked at Guan Shan and asked, "What about the other losses?" Guan Shan said: "Other losses are mainly the losses of the people and shops in Beicheng. Many civilians died in this scuffle, and the damage to property was also very large. Guan Ping waved his hand and said, "These are nothing." We're all right with our food, weed, baggage, and gunpowder equipment, right? Guan Shan said: "Those are fine. Guan Ping nodded and said, "That's good!" As long as the grain, grass, and gunpowder equipment are fine, we can hold on! ”

Then he asked angrily, "Why did the enemy come in through the north gate silently?" ”

Guan Ping said: "I went to the North City Gate to see, and the sentry guards were all killed. They are not to blame, we are careless. ”

Guan Ping nodded, "It's my fault!" ”

On the flagship of the English fleet, the generals stood in front of Nelson with their heads bowed, and their hearts were very depressed. Nelson paced back and forth, looking annoyed. No wonder he was annoyed, this time the plan was so thorough and successfully implemented, and he was about to break through the city, but in the end it still fell short, how could this not annoy him.

Nelson stopped and looked at the bandaged subordinate who was not very imposing, but had a very fierce temperament, and asked angrily, "Houghton, you have already invaded the city, why were you finally driven out by them?" "It turned out that this Holden was the English general who led the army to break through the North Gate and enter the city.

When Horton heard Nelson's question, he was ashamed and said, "Generalissimo, we have done our best!" But the enemy was much more fierce than we expected, and they fought back like crazy, and despite our best efforts, we could not hold on! ”

Nelson snorted and said, "No matter what the reason, you can't excuse your failure!" In view of the failure of this attack because of you, I have decided to punish you with a penalty of two demotion and demotion to the second degree, and you still lead your army, and I hope that you will be able to make meritorious contributions in the following battles! Horton was depressed.

Nelson glanced at the generals and asked, "Do you have any ideas on how to break through this city?" ”

The generals whispered. Hood, who looked like the golden lion king, shouted at Nelson: "Generalissimo, I don't think the conspiracy is useless, so simply concentrate on the frontal onslaught!" I don't believe that our fleet of Great England will not be able to capture this city! Many came, roaring and echoing.

Nelson looked thoughtful, he didn't really want to force the attack. After two days of fighting, he had already found that the city in front of him was not only heavily defended, but also that the defenders were not as weak as he had previously judged, and that they were all elite divisions capable of conscripting and accustomed to battle, and their bravery was beyond imagination. In the face of such a well-guarded city with defenders who are very good at fighting, relying on their own strong strength to forcibly attack the city, although they can finally succeed, but I am afraid that they will pay a lot of price!

Nelson didn't decide what to do for the time being, and let everyone go down.

For the next few days, the English fleet did not attack, and it seemed that there was nothing good to do with the city of Seagull.

At noon that day, Nelson was standing on the deck looking at the island city in front of him, his face thoughtful. A pro-army officer rushed behind Nelson, bowed, and said, "Generalissimo, news has come from the outpost ships that the envoys of the two kings of Seagull Island have come to ask to see the Generalissimo. ”

Nelson knew that the island was not the territory of Yanyun, but belonged to the Sinhalese Kingdom and the Tamil Kingdom, and that the Ming Dynasty did not own the land here, but only leased the coastal land of the two countries and established a stronghold. Nelson was thinking about the strategy of attacking the city of Siou these days, and there was no good way to think about it, and finally he thought of using Sinhala and Tamil, but he didn't expect that he hadn't taken action yet, and their messenger actually sent it to the door himself. Nelson smiled and said to the officer, "Let them come." ”

The officer answered, immediately rushed to the lookout, and ordered the herald to give the order. The herald immediately sent the order to the periphery with a flag, and soon after, a small boat was seen approaching through the heavy warship.

The two emissaries humbly met Nelson in the flagship's cabin.

Nelson glanced at the two in front of him, and saw that their skin was brown and dark, as if they were covered with dirt, and they were not ugly, but the expression on their faces was full of humility. Nelson couldn't help but feel disdain, and asked in English, "Why are you seeing me?" James James, a middle-aged maritime merchant next to him, immediately translated into Chinese and asked the two.

The two envoys did not know English, but they understood Chinese, and after listening to James's words, the messenger on the left immediately replied in Chinese: "I am the envoy of His Majesty the King of Sinhala, and I have come to the Generalissimo on behalf of His Majesty of our country. The messenger on the right also said in Chinese: "I am the envoy of the Tamil king, and I have come to ask you about the purpose of your army." ”

James translated both into English. Nelson smiled coldly and said, "We are here to crusade against the Ming heresy, and if we don't exterminate these Eastern heretics, we will never withdraw our troops!" Since you are allies of the Ming Dynasty, you are naturally among the targets of my Heavenly Army! You are messengers, I will not kill you, but I will go back and tell you the king that if you do not want your kingdom to perish and die, you will surrender to God sooner. Only in this way can we receive God's forgiveness! ”

James proudly translated these words into Chinese. The two envoys' faces changed in horror when they heard this, and they said urgently: "We are not allies of the Ming Dynasty!" The messenger on the left said, "Actually, the Ming people stay in our land, and we are not happy. It's just that they have a strong army, and we can't afford to mess with them, so we have to obey and lease the land to them. The messenger on the right nodded, "Exactly!" If someone can help us get rid of them, we can't ask for it! Generalissimo, please! If the Generalissimo can spare our country, our country is willing to supply grain and grass to support the Generalissimo! The messenger on the left hurriedly said that his country was also willing to supply grain and grass.

James translated the words of the two of them into English. Nelson glanced at the two of them and said, "If it is true to what you say, I can spare you." James translated the phrase. Both messengers looked delighted. Nelson continued: "However, it is not enough for you to provide food and grass to atone for your sins. "When Nelson finished, James finished translating. The two envoys looked at each other, and their hearts rose up and down again, and they asked together, "I don't know what the generalissimo wants us to do?" ”

Nelson saw the expressions of the two men and guessed the meaning of their words without an interpreter, and after listening to James's translation, he secretly said in his heart: 'This is really an inferior people, and it is really stupid to be a pig, and it has taken the initiative to put itself in a position to be slaughtered. "It's very simple, as long as you help us eliminate these Yanyun heretics, we will believe in your sincerity." In that case, you will be allies of the kingdom of heaven, and we will not attack you, but we will help you. ”

James translated these words, and the two messengers did not expect the other to make such a request, and for a moment they did not know how to answer. In fact, whether it is the Sinhalese Kingdom or the Tamil Kingdom, they are not to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty, they are not afraid of the new arrival of the menacing Heavenly Fleet, but they also dare not offend the Ming people, they just want to seek peace in the battle between these two great forces. However, this goal seems to be unattainable. The attitude of the English people is clear, if we don't help us destroy the Ming people, we are our enemies, and we will destroy you and the Ming people! They didn't want to take sides, but it seemed that they couldn't help it.

The envoy of the Sinhalese Kingdom said: "Generalissimo, this matter is too important for me to decide, please let me report back to our Majesty." The same was said by the envoy of the Kingdom of Tamil. James translated their words, and Nelson said nonchalantly, "Whatever you want." But I warn you that time is running out. I will only give you three days, and after three days, I will consider you a heretic on an equal footing with the Great Ming. When the two messengers saw Nelson's expression and heard James's translated words, their faces changed, and they bowed respectfully to Nelson, and then departed.

After the two envoys left, Horatio couldn't help but ask, "Generalissimo, will they surrender to us?" Nelson laughed but didn't say anything.

After receiving Yang Peng's order, the Ming Navy began to assemble on Hainan Island. In the afternoon of that day, the fleet led by Wang Rong to conquer Dongying came to the port of Wanning in the south of Hainan Island. Before Wang Rong's fleet arrived, Wang Hai's fleet had already arrived here. After ambushing the Japanese fleet that had gone north to reinforce the fleet, Wang Hai's fleet went all the way south to attack the Ma Yi Kingdom (now the Philippines) that helped the Japanese people, and the Ma Yi Kingdom was the opponent of the Yanyun fleet, and in a few days, the capital Manila was lost. However, due to the invasion of the Heavenly Army to the east, Yang Peng ordered Wang Hai to transfer the fleet from other places to the port of Wanning, and prepared to march west to meet the English fleet in the west. Therefore, Wang Hai immediately transferred the fleet that had just captured Manila back to the port of Wanning, and failed to continue to expand the results. However, Manila did not give up, but left 3,000 marines to guard it.

Wang Rong got off the boat and was pleasantly surprised to see her brother and Yang Peng standing on the dock waiting for her. hurriedly ran over, looking at Yang Peng with a pair of wonderful eyes, everything was silent. Wang Hai saw that his sister only had a lover in her eyes, but she didn't have her brother, so she was very depressed, and immediately coughed loudly.

Wang Rong came back to her senses, glanced at her brother, and then asked Yang Peng puzzled: "Why is the eldest brother here?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I'm going to take your ship to meet the English fleet, where will I go if I don't come here?" ”

Wang Rong showed a look of surprise, "Big brother is going too?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Can't I go?" ”

Wang Rong said with some concern: "The sea is not as good as the land, in case the battle is unfavorable, I'm afraid it will be a problem to break through!" ......" Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "This is not a problem at all, I believe that our fleet can achieve the final victory!" When Wang Hai and Wang Rong's brothers and sisters heard this, their originally worried hearts couldn't help but feel full of confidence, and Wang Hai said loudly: "Your Majesty is right! No matter what the fuck it is, it can't be an opponent of our Ming Navy! I heard that the fleet of England is the most powerful fleet in the West, and it has always boasted of invincibility at sea! Hmph, this time, let's wipe them out in one fell swoop and see who is invincible at sea! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
