midnight.
The tide of the Qiantang River reaches its peak, and the rolling waves hit the seawall, stirring up hundreds of feet of water curtains.
The thunder male and lightning female responded, and the sound was deafening!
A total of more than 500 people, including the government officials of Lin'an Prefecture and the naval forces left behind in Hangzhou, lined up in the pouring rain, waiting to order troops and give orders.
"Uncle Song, all those who have held swords and guns in Hangzhou are here. I will leave it to you to take command tonight." Colonel Zhou pointed at the officers and soldiers and said.
Song Che stood under the eaves and sighed first, "Do you have to be so responsive to the situation? There is still thunder in the sky, so aren't you afraid of being hit or getting wet?"
He turned around and walked into the attic, and greeted: "Wangjiang Pavilion is very big, come in and take shelter from the rain."
"Uncle Song is so down-to-earth! Did you hear that? Everyone, please go to the attic to take shelter from the rain!"
All the officers and soldiers entered the cabinet.
Gao Chen, Liu Boyong, and various officials from Lin'an Prefecture have gathered in Wangjiang Pavilion. Hundreds of pairs of eyes are focused on Song Che, all with expectations.
Song Che didn’t show off and started the charity plan:
"There are three thousand Japanese pirates, and we only have five hundred. Although we are at a numerical disadvantage, the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands;
If we want to capture a coastal city, the docks and ports are the first targets. We have to defend this place, and the Japanese pirates will try their best to capture it;
If the Japanese pirates want to capture the dock, they will definitely land at Qiantang Bay, so Qiantang Bay is where they will be buried! "
He asked again: "How many fishing boats are there in the chain?"
Lieutenant Zhou said: "There are more than 3,000 fishermen, villagers, and boatmen in the nearby ten miles, and there can be more."
"Can you handle five thousand items?" Song Che asked.
Lieutenant Zhou loudly said: "Bite your teeth, tighten your belt, and build the city for it!"
"Very good!" Song Che said with a smile: "Five thousand fishing boats, chained side by side, are enough to pave half a mile of pier. I call it 'Ship City' here;
Divide the locked boats into eight directions, use iron ropes and stone anchors, and fix them on the seabed to prevent the boat city from being washed away by the waves... To complete this arduous task, you must be a fellow Dan citizen who is familiar with water properties;"
He looked at the eight gangsters again and said, "Fellow fellows, you are going to be very tired tonight. Not only do you have to dive into the seabed to secure the ship city, you also have to carry the tide and stand by the iron rope."
The villagers patted their chests one after another and said, "Those of us who go to the sea to make a living have a poor life. To be lucky enough to kill Japanese pirates tonight is a tribute to our glorious ancestors. We are not afraid of death or tiredness!"
"good!"
Song Che was also touched by this courage. He walked among the crowd and said loudly: "After the boat city is fixed, the explosives are buried in the boat. If the Japanese pirates want to go ashore, they must step through the boat city;
When all the Japanese pirates boarded the boat city, the fellow villagers untied their chains at the same time. At dawn, when the tide was low, using the power of the tide, the boat city would soon float out of the dock. At this time, send a few more people who can shoot hundreds of kilograms of hard bows. Hercules used rockets to ignite the explosives on the ship;
Two thousand kilograms of explosives were detonated at the same time. Even if the Japanese pirates were not killed, they would fall into the sea due to the cracking of the ship. At that time, if warships were sent out to pursue the victory, they would all be wiped out in Qiantang Bay! "
"Okay! Great! What a great idea!"
"But what if those Japanese pirates don't fall for the trick and don't step into Ship City?" Gao Chen asked.
Song Che smiled and waved his hand, "Master Gao, there is no need to worry, I have already prepared a countermeasure." He came to Captain Zhou again:
"Captain Zhou, take thirty small boats, with five soldiers in each boat, hang flags and beat drums, and go out to the bay to fight. Remember, you can only lose but not win. You must pretend to be fleeing and abandoning your armor. , the purpose is to increase the arrogance of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are greedy by nature, and they have just won a battle, so their spirits are bound to be swollen. When they see you running away, how can they not chase you? This is a tactic to lure the enemy."
"With Aunt Song, Hangzhou is fine!"
"Hahaha……"
The whole house laughed.
However, Song Che stopped him and said: "Site troops on the battlefield and talk about war on paper. Everything will be determined by the results. You might as well hold on to this joy first. After the Japanese pirates are defeated, it will not be too late to be happy again."
"What Aunt Song is saying is, let's hold back our breath and kill more Japanese slaves later!"
…
Time passes little by little.
The long night is about to end.
The wind and rain have subsided a lot, and the tide has gradually receded.
Song Che stood in Wangjiang Pavilion with his hands behind his hands. He was really confident. How could he be afraid of the cold at high places?
Between the sea and the sky, there are more than a hundred ships, large and small, sailing towards Qiantang Bay with the dawn on their backs.
The Japanese pirates are coming.
Song Che lit the fireworks and shot into the sky.
After seeing the signal, Lieutenant Zhou led thirty warships, beating drums and charging while waving flags and shouting:
"Kill!"
Soon, the two sides met in front of the bay, and each exchanged fire with their bows and crossbows. The boats charging in front collided with each other. The two sides drew their swords and guns to fight, and they fought hand-to-hand.
The disparity in numbers gave the Japanese pirates an overwhelming advantage, smashing drums and cutting flags.
"Get out! Get out!"
Lieutenant Zhou discarded his sword, picked up the oar, and led the remaining men to the pier to escape.
Seeing that their armor was abandoned, the Japanese pirates' wild laughter filled the entire bay, and they began to pursue without hesitation.
Soon Captain Zhou and others abandoned their warships and ran from the ship city to the pier. The Japanese pirate fleet arrived in front of the ship city and could not move any further, so they all got off the ship and continued to pursue forward in the ship city.
"Ahead is the city of Hangzhou. Burn them all, kill them all, rob them all, and kill them all!"
When the navy soldiers came ashore, almost all the Japanese pirates boarded the ship city.
Seeing this, Song Che sent another signal.
The people lurking in the water quickly uncovered the iron ropes. At the same time, the officers and soldiers on the shore worked together to push the ship city away from the dock.
When the ship city floated thirty feet away, the crossbowmen ignited the rockets with animal paste, and hundreds of arrows were fired at once. But surprisingly, it rained all night, and there was already water on the ship, so the fire could not spread. Several rounds of shooting failed to ignite the bomb.
The Japanese pirates knew they had fallen into a trap and hurriedly retreated.
"Come here who are not afraid of death! Follow me on board the ship and detonate the bomb!"
"Damn it! It's worth killing a few of us in exchange for the lives of thousands of Japanese dogs!"
Lieutenant Zhou and several soldiers prepared a small boat and held a few torches, and planned to catch up and fight for their lives.
"Wait!"
Ning Yehong shouted, "I have a way!"
Seeing her take out a wax cloth package from her sleeve, when she opened it, it was the fire gourd that Song Che had given her before!
She ignited the fire gourd, and when the dotted line was about to burn out, she threw it with all her strength. Good arm strength! After traveling thirty or forty feet, it landed exactly in the center of Ship City.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
The fire gourd exploded together with the explosives buried on the ship city. In an instant, flames shot into the sky and smoke filled the air! The ship city and the Japanese pirates were blown to pieces!
The explosion lasted for half a quarter of an hour, and billowing smoke covered the entire bay. In the mist, there were bursts of screams like slaughtering pigs.
Song Che sent out another signal.
Five hundred officers and soldiers, whether warships, fishing boats, or cargo ships, rushed out of the dock together, using steel forks, fishing nets, and bows and crossbows to kill the Japanese pirates in the water!
