Chapter 426: Qiongzhou was attacked, and the war was spreading
It's night, and the moon and stars are scarce.
In the dry dock on Qiongzhou Island, Zheng Jing was studying books on navigation. These are all found by Yang Yong for him.
He is a studious person, but it is a pity that he did not have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination when he was young, and now he has entered the command of Qin Yun, one is to hold the hatred of his parents, and the other is to seize this opportunity to make contributions and glorify his ancestors.
The oil lamps flickered, and the boatmen who slept with them were already snoring.
A boatman who got up at night to pee saw that Zheng Jing hadn't slept, so he stepped forward and asked, "Lord Zheng, haven't you slept yet?" ”
Zheng Jing smiled: "Sleep after reading this article!" ”
"Lord Zheng is really amazing, I am so tired during the day and I have to study at night, I don't have that perseverance, my goal now is to work hard to make money, and let my son study hard to become a big official in the future."
Zheng Jingdao: "Your second baby is already seven years old this year, have you learned?" ”
The boatman said: "Not yet, but I'm going to send it to Qiongzhou Primary School, I heard that the princesses are taking care of it, if it is taken care of by the husband, I can still learn a new school." ”
Zheng Jing nodded, he had also heard of Xinxue, it was said that it was recommended by the prince, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, there was also geography, arithmetic, physics, etc.
Zheng Jing was also interested in these, but so far, he didn't have time to read them.
The boatman yawned: "Lord Zheng, go to sleep, I can't stay up, didn't the prince say, the body is the capital of the revolution, let us rest well, in order to continue to shine." ”
Zheng Jing said: "Okay, you sleep first, I'll come right away!" ”
The boatman lifted his pants and walked to the dormitory, Zheng Jing looked at the full moon in the sky, and also packed up the books and carefully put them in the wooden moisture-proof box, but just when he was about to enter the dormitory.
Suddenly, a fireball flew in the sky, and before Zheng Jing could react.
Hearing only a "boom", the fireball smashed into the dormitory, setting off a heat wave in an instant, but the boatman who had just let him go to sleep was hit by a larger beam.
"Zhao Wu!"
Zheng Jing pounced on his eyes with tears in his eyes, and when he looked closely, the nails on the wooden beam protruded and pierced Zhao Wu's stomach, blood spread, and Zhao Wu's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he saw that he had injured his internal organs and couldn't survive.
Zheng ...... Master Zheng, help me take care of my second baby! ”
"Zhao Wu~"
Without waiting for Zheng Jing to grieve, at this time, one fireball after another smashed over, the dock, the big ship, and the warehouse.
"Kill!"
Zheng Jing's ears sounded with shouts of killing, and through the afterglow of the fire, he vaguely saw dozens or hundreds of pirates with knives rushing out of the coast.
A hatred buried in the depths of memory is triggered.
That night more than twenty years ago, his father and mother died to protect him, his little sister was beheaded, and he was trampled under the feet of pirates......
"Lord Zheng, it's not good, the pirates are killed!"
Zheng Jing collected his emotions and then ordered: "Sound the alarm!" ”
"Get on board and fire!"
"No!"
The boatmen moved, and the soldiers who were guarding the large ship also rushed onto the ship, but the enemy artillery fire continued one after another, and in an instant, all three large ships were set on fire.
The flames triggered the shell bay, and they were all killed.
Zheng Jing looked at all this blankly, looked at his ship, watched the hard work they had paid for so many days being burned, and watched their comrades-in-arms die tragically in front of them.
Filled with grief, he drew his sword and rushed forward.
"I'm fighting with you!"
……
Qiongzhou City, Liang Wangfu.
Qin Yun was reviewing the folds sent by Wang Muzhi, when a sudden smashing sound startled him out of the hall, and he flew on the roof.
"Clairvoyance!"
The attendant bowed down and handed it over, Qin Yun picked it up and looked at it, but his eyes were fixed.
"Yang Yong!"
Yang Yong came in a hurry.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, something happened!"
Qin Yun's eyes were cold: "What's wrong?" ”
"The pirates took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch up, and they attacked our dock with artillery, and at the moment three large ships have been set on fire by the explosion."
"General Bai Zhanpeng has already led people to kill the pirates who came ashore!"
Where did the artillery come from?
Qin Yun was startled, but quickly calmed down.
"The whole city is under martial law, and the harbor is illuminated with flares, so that the shore defense artillery can counterattack."
"And catch alive!"
"No!"
Boom~~
The people of Qiongzhou City looked up at the sky, and they found that there were bright clusters in the sky.
Many people who don't know why went out of their homes.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, it's from the dock."
At this time, the brocade guard was dispatched, and someone rang the gong.
"The prince has an order, the whole city is under martial law, everyone stays at home and doesn't go out, otherwise there will be no mercy!"
"What happened to Master Jun?"
The messenger said: "Pirates attack at night, pay attention to safety, don't go out of the city, and report to anyone suspicious immediately!" ”
"What? The pirates are coming! But the pirates who slaughtered Chaozhou City? ”
The herald did not reply, but rode to the next block.
"What to do? Let's run for our lives! ”
"Where to run? Don't make trouble for the government, the city gates are closed now, just to prevent the pirates who have come in to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. ”
"Everyone, listen to the order, close the doors and windows!"
"That's right, we can't make a mess!"
The people of Qiongzhou closed their doors and windows tightly.
Outside the gate of the palace, Qin Yun rushed out with people, Jiang Yingying, and the Liuguan Pavilion also followed forward.
Qin Yun turned his head to the Liuguan Pavilion and said, "You are in the palace, Yingying, you will also stay." ”
Jiang Yingying: "Lord Wang, I'll go too!" ”
Qin Yun: "You all stay, beware of someone making trouble in the city." ”
"Yang Yong, are you all together?"
"Back to the prince, it's all together, these are the three newly compiled battalions of people."
"Let's go!"
……
Meanwhile, in the dockyard, the nearby garrisons are fighting the pirates.
The Three-Eyed Tiger took the lead, carrying a knife and slashing to death many of the dockyard defenders.
"Brothers, the warehouse is in front, rush me!"
In the warehouse, a group of casters such as Cast Iron Ridge shrank in a corner.
"Master Cast, what are we going to do?"
Cast Iron Ridge muttered: "Destroy all the drawings, put the cannon in front of the warehouse door, and whoever dares to come will be killed!" ”
"The agency flying eagle is released to investigate the enemy's situation and pass on the news."
"That's all there is to it!"
"These damn thieves, the big ship that the old man worked so hard to build, were destroyed by them."
Cast Iron Ridge: "Everyone, as long as we are alive, we can build it, the Casting God Villa is destroyed, and this place will never become the next Casting God Villa." ”
"Please protect yourselves!"
"Alas, the hateful old man has no power to restrain the chicken!"
"Oh no, the pirate leader is here."
Cast Iron Ridge: "Open the gun!" ”
Rumble~
At the gate of the warehouse, a wheeled cannon was the first to fire.
The person next to the three-eyed tiger suddenly fell into a large area.
"Brothers, don't be afraid, it will take time for this cannon to fill, rush forward now!"
Cast Iron Ridge was taken aback when he heard this: "I'm afraid that there will be a traitor!" ”
"Master, what should I do?"
One of the apprentices was so busy that a shell almost hit his foot.
Cast Tieling's face sank: "What else can I do to fight with them!" ”
There was a look of despair on their faces.
Seeing that the Three-Eyed Tiger's men had rushed to the front of the cannon, the few apprentices who had learned to fire the cannon retreated in fright.
Master Casting sighed: "The sky is thin on me!" Brothers, go to your death! ”
But there was a look of despair on everyone's faces.
There was a rapid "click" sound.
"Elder Zhu, my master asked me to help you!"
Cast Iron Ridge looked for prestige, only to see Iron Bear pushing a cart, on which the Iron Ox was spinning a rotor, and in front of the rotor was spewing fire snakes.
Cast Iron Ridge's eyes lit up: "The old guy actually succeeded!" ”
The cart was naturally Lu Ban's masterpiece, with the rifle, Lu Ban was not idle, he heard Qin Yun mention the idea of a repeating gun.
Lu Ban combined the tricks he had recently learned from the Forged God Villa to create this hand-cranked beaded machine gun.
The powerful firepower covered the group of pirates to frighten them.
The three-eyed tiger raised his knife: "Rush for me, rush forward, that thing will soon run out of bullets!" ”
"The second master, I can't rush it, the firepower is too fierce!"
"Let's quit, I can't stand it."
At this moment, a pirate rushed behind him.
"The big boss has an order, Qiongzhou reinforcements have arrived, retreat!"
The three-eyed tiger glanced at the warehouse, he was unwilling, through the informant's intelligence, he knew that there were a lot of artillery in it.
It's no wonder that the magic cannon he bought from Qiongzhou was too heavy, so it could only be loaded on the ship, and it couldn't go ashore at all.
Seeing the tongue of fire spitting, the three-eyed tiger knew that it would not be able to take it in a short time.
"Withdraw!"
……
On the coast, the big boss looked at the sky illuminated by flares, and he took a deep breath.
"Has the second master withdrawn?"
"The order to return to the boss has passed, why don't we go first, the artillery fire in Qiongzhou is too fierce."
"If we don't leave, our ship will be sunk."
The big boss muttered, "How about killing them all ashore?" ”
"No, only a few people can be logged into the landing site for a while, and the other party directly blocked it with artillery fire, and we are careless."
"If you don't leave, all the elites will have to be explained here."
The big boss took a deep breath: "You go first, I'll pick up the second child." ”
"Big boss!"
The leaders wanted to continue the power, but a weighing of gold had already rushed up.
Outside the dock, Qin Yun took the lead, he looked at the raging fire, and his heart was dripping blood.
"Yang Yong, Wang Lao, General Bai, it's important to save people!"
"Yes."
Yang Yong: "A battalion follow me!" ”
Bai Zhanpeng: "The second battalion will follow me to the shore." ”
Wang Menghu: "The three battalions were killed with the old man." ”
Qin Yun followed the third battalion and entered the dock, and there were still sporadic battles going on at the moment.
He slashed dozens of pirates one by one, and finally came to the warehouse.
At this time, the Three-Eyed Tiger and others were killing from within.
Seeing that Qin Yun was the only one, the three-eyed tiger waved his big hand: "Up, kill him!" ”
Seven or eight good hands rushed towards Qin Yun, Qin Yun's eyes froze, and the knife was horizontal, just a glance, and the seven or eight people instantly lay on the ground.
The pirates gasped: "Grandmaster! ”
The three-eyed tiger looked up at Qin Yun's devouring gaze, and only felt a chuckle in his heart.
He threw out a bag of gold leaves from his arms: "Your Excellency, it must be that Qin Yun's guest, this heart is given to you, can you make a way?" ”
Qin Yun's eyes were cold: "Put down your weapons, you can live!" ”
The three-eyed tiger snorted coldly: "Don't give you face, you are looking for death!" ”
As he spoke, he took out his firearm and fired a shot at Qin Yun.
As soon as Qin Yun's knife was horizontal, the projectile was ejected.
"Say, who gave you the artillery and the musket?"
The three-eyed tiger sneered: "Up, let's do him together!" ”
