Chapter 41: General Zheng (II)
Boom! Boom!
Several large ships from the west are shelling the coast of Xiangshan County, and Xiangshan County has also deployed seven or eight artillery pieces on the coast to counterattack. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info And these sailing ships from the West are the ocean-going ships of the Franco.
"General, it's a ship of the Franc man!" said one of the sailors, looking through his binoculars.
"Send the order to go down and sink their ship for me!" General Zheng Zhilong immediately gave his subordinates the order to go into battle, but finally reminded him: "It's best to capture a few prisoners alive!"
Although Ling Er and Nangong Wu had no opinion on General Zheng Zhilong's desire to capture the prisoner alive, Wufeng felt that General Zheng Zhilong's expression was a little strange, but Wufeng didn't care about this.
It's just that Wufeng thinks that if General Zheng Zhilong just wants to understand the firearms technology of these Franc robots, even if he sinks their ship, there is no problem, this is offshore, and it is completely possible to salvage the firearms that have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Could it be that the craftsmen of the Ming Empire were not able to imitate the technology of the Buddha Machine?
"General, I've always been curious, why do these Francophiles have to attack Xiangshan County?"
Basically, as long as they enter the South Seas, it is the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Ming Empire, and these Franco-sturgeon people even went all the way to Xiangshan County to make trouble, isn't this looking for death? However, Wufeng feels that things are not so simple, if General Zheng Zhilong really has the intention to stop them, these Franco-smelters will not have a chance to come to Xiangshan County at all, and it can be said that they were killed before they got close to Hainan.
"Hehe, these Francophiles originally came to do business, but they took a fancy to a piece of land in Xiangshan County. But he didn't want to pay any rent, so he planned to use force to occupy it!" General Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.
"I see!" Wufeng also felt that there was no problem with General Zheng Zhilong's explanation.
In fact, in addition to the Francophiles, there are many Western countries that hope to establish trade relations with the Ming Empire, at least for the time being, they have many strongholds in the Nanyang area.
However, Wufeng learned from Ling Tian's mouth that these Franc Robot people had actually started trading in Xiangshan County more than ten years ago, so why would they suddenly use force?
Wufeng suddenly remembered that General Zheng Zhilong had mentioned the rent just now, and he quickly understood in his heart.
Originally, Wufeng didn't want to get involved in this matter, after all, with General Zheng Zhilong here, the fate of these Francophiles was already doomed. However, Wufeng suddenly remembered that he was now a penny, and now he just had an opportunity to make money.
The murderous maniac who was offered a reward of one hundred taels by the government before escaped because Wufeng missed a lot of income, and it was impossible for him to miss it this time.
General Zheng Zhilong's fleet quickly dispersed, although there were more than ten or twenty small boats, but these small boats did not have artillery or other weapons that could sink the ships of the Franco. And the only ship with artillery and other weapons is the warship that General Zheng Zhilong is riding, and General Zheng Zhilong originally had no intention of fighting the other party here, so he did not arrange enough troops to accompany him.
But even so, because of the addition of General Zheng Zhilong, these Franc machine people soon became aware of the disadvantage of being attacked from front to back. Although this time the Francomans dispatched five warships, but after all, ammunition was limited. However, the artillery crews of Xiangshan County, located on the coast, did not worry about the lack of ammunition, and they asked the Xunzhou government to provide firearms assistance this time, just to strengthen the defense of the coast.
And on General Zheng Zhilong's side, although there is not a lot of ammunition on the warship, it is enough to support the two pillars of incense.
"General Zheng, we only have one ship with artillery on our side, I'm afraid it's not an opponent, why don't you let me deal with them?" Although Wufeng doesn't know how to march and fight, if the Francophiles want to escape at the moment, there will definitely be no one to stop them.
"It's okay!, but what can you do to get there?" Although General Zheng Zhilong was also a little selfish, he was not willing to let his men die in vain. But he was curious about how Wufeng used to get close to the enemy ship, and the other party was not blind!
"Silly boy, don't be a hero!" Ling Er was also a little worried about the windlessness.
Let's not talk about what method Wufeng used to deal with those Franc machine people, even those shells, which can not be blocked by strong martial arts. There was once a martial arts senior, who didn't believe in the horror of the cannon, and as a result, he risked his life, although he saved his life in the end, but he was not lightly injured.
"Mountain people have their own tricks. But I can say it first, the spoils on their ship will belong to me!" Wufeng agreed with General Zheng Zhilong in advance, so as not to let the other party not agree afterwards, then Wufeng would really be in vain.
"Yes!" General Zheng Zhilong was not at all interested in the trophies on the Franc robot ship.
It's not that he doesn't love money, but he knows that there are more than a few ships in the fleet of these Franc robots, and it is estimated that there will be no treasure or anything on these ships. After all, this is a warship, and if only one of them is sunk, the treasure will sink to the bottom of the sea.
"General Zheng, may I ask if there are no planks on the ship, please lend me one!" Wufeng visually measured the distance between their ship and the ship of the Francoman, although both sides were within the range of the artillery, but with the light skill of Wufeng, there was really no way to leap over at once.
If he had swam through, he would have been shot into a sieve by bullets before he had even boarded the enemy ship. And I don't want my clothes to get wet without wind, and there is a smell of sea on my body.
"This young man, we only have oars, no planks!" said one of the sailors.
"All right, lend me first!" Wufeng took two oars and threw one of them into the air.
Then Wufeng also jumped into the air, and the whole person stepped on the wood pulp, and Wufeng used the oar as a backing board to jump into the air again. At the same time, he threw out the other oar in his hand again, and as long as there were two jumps, there was no wind and he could smoothly board the ship of the Franco.
"Is this floating on water?" General Zheng Zhilong didn't expect that the light skill of no wind would be so good, although it was the first time he had seen this kind of light skill floating on the water with his own eyes, but he knew that this situation was difficult to perform without more than ten years of cultivation.
But how old does Wufeng look like? Could this be that he has been cultivating since he was a baby?
Although Ling Er and Nangong Wu on the side knew that Wufeng's martial arts were very strong, they didn't expect that he would even be able to do such a difficult light skill as floating on the water.
"What the hell is that?" When the Franc saw the fleet of the Great Ming Naval Division and was about to attack with cannons, he saw a man jumping on the sea. For these Franc robots, it's like seeing a monster.
"Shoot him!!" Seeing that Wufeng was about to kill, some of the Franc men who were still able to keep their composure had already begun to take out their muskets and prepare to shoot.
