Ruan San stood on the bow of the ship, holding up a shiny steel knife with a ferocious look on his face, and shouted to Chen Mao on the ship next to him: "You see, the Ming Dynasty doesn't take us seriously at all. A little sergeant will They dare to come so far away. If we don't deal with them today, why won't the black bandits be laughed at?"
Chen Mao laughed jeeringly and stared at the Ming Dynasty fleet that was getting closer and closer: "With these big ships, the sea is not open to us? Brothers, copy the guys and rob them!"
The young Ruan Wu swallowed his saliva and said to Ruan San: "I heard that last year, the Ming army chased the pirates and killed them all near Penghu. Now we provoke them..."
Ruan San turned around and kicked him: "They are just a small Ming army, and they are not Wu Zhen's main force. They are afraid of birds! We have many people and boats, so we rush over and kill them. The gold and silver treasures there are all ours. In the future, Use these things to recruit soldiers and horses, and you can expect to grow stronger in no time!”
"Brothers, the reward for killing an enemy is fifty taels of silver, and the reward for being wounded is thirty taels. Kill them for me!"
"kill!"
Ruan San boosted morale.
Chen Mao drew out his knife and pointed it at Ming's fleet: "Kill people and seize ships!"
Du Da Ya opened his mouth, and his two protruding front teeth flashed out: "Leave no one behind!"
The pirate rowed hard and his speed suddenly increased.
Suddenly!
The Ming army's warship roared like thunder, made three sounds, and then saw three black iron balls flying over.
Ruan San, Chen Mao, Du Daya and others didn't care at all. When they saw that the iron ball did not hit anyone and only landed dozens of steps ahead, they laughed and laughed at the incompetence of the Ming army.
On the big fortune ship.
Huang Senping walked to Zhang He and said in a deep voice: "The sail has been lowered, and the oar sergeant is ready to take position!"
Zhang He had a cold smile on his lips and nodded heavily: "This time, we can't let anyone go! The news that Ming Dynasty has the Shanhai Cannon must not be leaked! This thing is prepared for Wang Baobao, not for these brats!"
"rest assured!"
Huang Senping said solemnly.
Seeing that the pirates were approaching the position of the range-finding bomb, Zhang He ordered: "Come on, let's see the killing power of gunpowder bombs!"
Huang Senping conveyed the order and the gong sounded.
The three ships and twelve Shanhai cannons all ignited the gunpowder shells, threw them into the gun barrels, and then ignited the fuses in the gunpowder chambers.
boom!
The Dafu boat trembled violently, and the water was shaken out into waves.
Twelve gunpowder shells flew out of the barrel, swept across the sea, picked up the sea breeze, and flew towards the pirate's ship in a graceful arc that was not too high.
Zhang He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, staring at this scene.
moment!
The Five Six Pirate Ships instantly fell apart, and a man rose into the air, with blood spraying in the air.
It's even more beautiful than the sunset at this time.
The sea water exploded with a huge splash, and the sudden waves caught the pirates off guard. Because the huge explosion caused fear, a group of pirates quickly tilted to one side, and the boat capsized under the action of two forces!
Ruan San was stunned, looking at the ships on the side that were blown up, with broken limbs floating on the sea, and a few still alive ones that had lost their hands and were just flopping around.
"First cousin."
Ruan Wu shouted.
Ruan San looked back and saw Ruan Wu looking down at his chest, as if something had been inserted into him. He could no longer see it. He only knew that blood was gurgling.
Unable to stand any longer, Ruan Wu staggered and fell into the sea.
Ruan San just stretched out his hand and heard another round of roaring. He turned around in shock and saw another batch of black iron balls flying in the sky.
"withdraw!"
Ruan San rubbed his neck and shouted.
But before the pirates, who were stunned by the hell scene, could react, the second round of attacks had already arrived.
The huge explosion covered up all the wails and shattered ships one after another. The pirates had already suffered heavy losses before they even got close to the Ming army's warships.
Chen Mao was trembling with fear and urged people to row back. When he saw a man who was so frightened that he didn't move, he took out his knife and killed him, threw it into the sea, and shouted: "Row the boat!"
Only then did the remaining people remember that it was time to escape.
Du Daya greeted the eighteenth generation of Ruan San's family, "Damn, this is not a piece of fat pork, it is simply a sea beast that kills people!" They were discussing how to distribute the looted things, and they were so quarreling over the distribution, but in the end, all their work was in vain! So many people have been lost!
withdraw!
The Ming Dynasty has man-eating firearms. If you see their ships in the future, you will have to run away!
Zhang He saw that three of the third round of gunpowder bombs failed without causing any damage, and the pirates had begun to flee, so he ordered to stop using the Shanhaicannon. The number of gunpowder bombs was really limited, and the people from the Far Fire Bureau brought less than two hundred , and more than sixty were taken away by Wu Zhen, who used stone bullets instead during training. He couldn't bear to spend them.
The three great fortune ships began to pursue, their long oars deep into the sea water, and they continued to divert water.
Meng Wanli, who was responsible for protecting the merchant ships, saw this situation and immediately conveyed the order. All fleets pursued the reverse direction, and the merchant ships also joined!
Suddenly, all the great fortune ships began to move towards the battlefield.
When Zhang He saw the bodies floating on the red sea and the tragic injuries, he was shocked and said to Huang Senping: "Gu County man said that walking can defeat cavalry. I didn't believe it at first. But now this mountain and sea cannon No one can believe its power! This thing can kill pirates, and it can also kill cavalry and war horses! If used in an ambush, thousands of gunpowder shells will fly out..."
Huang Senping shuddered, that scene could only be hell.
Chase!
Zhang He did not waste time killing the pirates who fell into the sea, but pursued the escaped pirates with all his strength.
Although the Dafu boat is big, its speed at this moment is not inferior to that of a small boat. Dozens of sergeants in the cabin were shouting chants and rocking oars desperately in order to catch these people in one fell swoop!
This group of pirates split into three waves when they were escaping. They were obviously composed of three groups of pirates. Zhang He ordered them to be disrupted and chased separately. If the pirate ships were concentrated, they would not use mountain and sea cannons. If the pirate ships were scattered and wanted to run away, they would not use them. If it's difficult to chase, you can use the Shanhai Cannon.
In short, don't let one go.
Soon, Meng Wanli's ship also joined the pursuit. The remaining merchant ships had a limited number of sergeants, so they were handed over to them to handle the battlefield and kill the pirates in the sea without leaving any survivors.
There is nothing to worry about. It is impossible for pirates who have fallen into the water to climb onto the Daifuku ship. If you want to board the ship, you need to throw at least a hook or something. Even if you get on board, you may not be able to succeed.
Do you think fishermen are easy to mess with?
wrong!
Fishermen can form an army at any time, and they can kill people with harpoons!
When Wang Futu, Chen Dahe and others saw the miserable death of the pirates, some people couldn't help it and vomited out.
An arm and half an ear are nothing, but the colorful intestines, like tofu shaken and broken into pieces, with blood added to the brain, are really disgusting.
"Is this the Shanhaicannon?"
Wang Futu wiped the corners of his mouth, feeling like something was rolling in his stomach. .?
Wang Budai's face turned pale: "We have seen a lot of dead people, but none of them can compare to what we are seeing now. Now that I think about it, beheading them directly is not scary at all."
Chen Dahe watched the sergeant shoot a pirate to death with one arrow, and the water on the sea turned redder.
Far fire bureau?
Mr. Gu County, what did Magistrate Gu create? Did he tear down the door of hell from hell?
Why is it that when this thing comes out, the scene becomes hell?
It shouldn't be called the Shanhai Cannon, it should be called the Hell Cannon!
The pursuit lasted for nearly an hour, and Zhang He and others' ship finally returned by the starlight.
When Zhang He followed Wu Zhen, he chased Biluo to the end, and it is the same now. Ruan San, Du Daya and others were not allowed to escape. It was just that Du Daya was unlucky and was sent away by the Shanhaicannon. Only half of his body was found. Chen Mao's two big teeth didn't survive either. They were blown open by the fire blunderbuss and his whole back was pockmarked.
Ruan San was lucky enough to be captured and became one of only twenty prisoners.
Chu Xing was extremely regretful. There were obviously 700 pirates, which was a great military achievement, but after searching, he only found more than 500 heads, and he didn't know where the rest of the heads were.
Because the fleet carried a lot of cargo, the caravan was reluctant to make room for the corpses, but it was impossible to leave it alone. This was already close to Guangdong. With the current current and wind direction, it wouldn't be long before these corpses would float to the coast of Guangdong. It is a trivial matter to scare the local people, but it would be a serious crime if it caused a plague.
In desperation, Zhang He ordered people to tie a bunch of corpses to the back of the Dafu boat and drag them. After arriving at Qiongzhou Prefecture, he found a pit and buried the corpses. He set off with a bunch of heads and a group of prisoners and continued towards Quanzhou Prefecture. .
After this short and amazing battle, Zhang He finally understood why Gu Zhengchen was able to "act cheaply", why the emperor had such high trust in him, and why he became the man of Daming County!
The mere existence of the Yuanhuo Bureau was enough to make Gu Zhengchen feel at ease. However, he had never mentioned the existence of the Yuanhuo Bureau to outsiders, and it was not mentioned in official court documents. It seemed that this government office was not included in the imperial order. .
The more this is the case, the more it shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the distant fire situation!
In fact, the Far Fire Bureau is very likely to change the strategic situation of Ming Dynasty's passive defense, and truly defeat the main force of Yuan Ting and eliminate the Hulu!
Looking for a feudal prince?
Maybe, if you follow Gu Zhengchen and you really have this opportunity, even if you don't have to be a marquis on someone from the Yuan Dynasty, you can still be a marquis on this sea!
The fleet traveled day and night, and with the help of wind and current, it entered the sea off Fujian on the 28th of the first lunar month, and entered the sea off Quanzhou early on the 29th.
When the navy patrolling the waters outside Quanzhou Port discovered the returning fleet of Zhang He and Huang Senping, they quickly took out their whistle arrows.
Sentry arrows kept exploding in the sky, and the news quickly spread to the port.
The person who temporarily managed the port was Quanzhou Wei Baihu Huang Bannian. After receiving the news that Zhang He and others had returned, he immediately ordered someone to lead the horse, turn over and beat the horse away.
Magistrate Gu said that when the fleet comes, he will appear at the port to welcome these people back.
No delay!
Don't miss it!
Huang Bannian urged his horse to gallop and shouted: "Get out of the way, it's urgent!"
