Darkness enveloped the Belori port, and more than thirty warships gradually turned off their lights. Only the lights on the bow and stern were still hanging.
General Di Laizuo, commanding more than 30,000 people, quietly appeared on the mountain, looking at the silent port, with murderous intent on his lips, and then ordered the four generals Ugo, Samara, Silva and Ratne: " Wuge and Samara, each of you will lead three thousand men to block the way out of the port. Cut down all the wood on the mountain and throw it into the sea so that the Mingting navy cannot leave the port! If they break through by force, throw stones from the mountain and destroy them. The boat was sunk by me!"
"As you command!"
Uge and Samara agreed.
Di Lai continued to order: "Silva, you take 10,000 people, board the wooden boat, and fight with the Ming army's ships. Ratne, you take 10,000 people, guard the beach, and if anyone comes ashore, kill them!"
"As you command!"
Silva and Ratne agreed.
Di Lai looked at the not-so-bright starry sky, then at the Ming Dynasty's unprepared fleet, and issued a battle order: "When everything is ready, use the light as a signal. Then look at the fire in my place. If I light a fire, The second fire is preparation, the second fire is fighting, and the third fire is retreat."
Ugo, Samara, Silva, and Ratne nodded repeatedly, and then led their troops away.
Although the sound of chopping wood on the top of the mountain is not loud, it is very dense. With this concentration, the sound becomes noisy.
Luo Guanying was lying on the deck and said to Shen Wei who was about to turn over: "Tell me, what classes should the Imperial College teach this year?"
Shen Wei rested his arms on his head and looked at the night sky: "Return to the Imperial College, we are now sergeants, top soldiers."
"I'm a little homesick."
Luo Guanying's voice was very low.
Shen Wei smiled, missing home, who doesn't miss home, everyone here misses home, but for the Ming Dynasty to reopen the sea route, spread the prestige all over the world, and win the prosperous age that thousands of dynasties come to congratulate, how can it be done without working hard.
Being able to participate in such a meaningful event is a blessing in life. If you miss it, wouldn’t it be a lifelong regret?
"You know what they are doing, right?"
Shen Wei asked.
Luo Guanying said calmly: "What else can we do? Block the port, attack from inside and outside, the same old tricks, no matter who hits them."
Shen Wei glanced at Luo Guanying with admiration and asked the doubt he had been having in his heart for a long time: "With your intelligence and talent, why did your brother-in-law not let you serve as an official in the court, but let you come to sea instead?"
Luo Guanying smiled and said: "What my brother-in-law asked me to do, of course I should do it. Besides, sailing is far more exciting than the world in the book. When we complete our mission and become famous, haha, the little supervisor of the Imperial College will also Don’t let us bully you.”
Shen Wei nodded repeatedly.
"Um?"
Luo Guanying glanced at a ray of fire, quickly pushed Shen Wei up, and pointed to the top of the mountain on the left: "There is a fire there, see if it... goes out, this should be a signal."
Shen Wei licked his lips, stretched out his hand and squinted towards the top of the mountain to calculate, and then said to Luo Guanying: "Find me some skids, I want to adjust the angle of the divine machine gun."
Luo Guanying was very satisfied, and immediately ran to the cabin, found a piece of wood, and followed Shen Wei into the cabin. He and several sergeants raised the divine machine cannon and adjusted the shooting angle. Shen Wei used the telescope and squinted again, and adjusted it again. He fired two divine machine cannons and then said to Luo Guanying: "Do you want us to take action first?"
Luo Guanying really wanted to, but considering that Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette and followed the good habit of not firing the first shot, so he could only take a slap from others before talking about counterattack, so he had to let Shen Wei wait.
Zheng He on the treasure ship also noticed this scene, but Zheng He didn't pay much attention to the mountains on the left and right. Instead, he looked at the port. Black shadows had appeared around the small wooden ships.
It was so late, there were so many people, and there were so many boats. After thinking about it, I knew that these were not diligent fishermen, so Zheng He ordered the treasure ship to be turned sideways. The lattice window on the starboard side of the hull slowly opened, and the black muzzle stuck out.
Zhang Fu went to the Dafu ship to take command. Zhang Yu stood beside Zheng He, looking towards the port with a telescope in his hand, and whispered: "There are a lot of people here."
Zheng He nodded solemnly. The King of Ceylon Mountain was very considerate and sent the main force. This is good for a small country. If you say hello at noon, you can join forces to fight in the evening. This has to be left in some places in the Ming Dynasty. Just saying hello will take several days...
"Send the signal."
Zheng He saw two lights on the mountain in the distance, and heard deafening shouts of killing in his ears, so he ordered Zhang Yu.
Without waiting for the others, Zhang Yu lit the whistle arrow and shot it into the sky.
boom!
Fireworks exploded.
Zheng He: "Fire!"
Zhu Neng: "Fire!"
Luo Guanying: "Fire!"
…
Zhang Yao: "Fire!"
The captains of more than thirty ships gave orders almost at the same time, each aiming at the intended enemy and lighting the match ropes.
The roar shook this ancient and ignorant country for the first time.
Wuge was on the top of the mountain commanding his sergeants to throw trees to the port. None of these trees had their branches cut off. Once they fell into the sea, they would block the narrow port exit. The wood was constantly being thrown in, and the waves made a loud sound.
Cut off his escape route and leave him with absolutely no way out!
Wuge admired those ceramics and silks very much, and decided to ask for some rewards after the war.
The sky is beautiful and my thoughts are innocent.
Wuge looked at the sea. Suddenly, the sea in the port seemed to tremble, and then there were dazzling fires. In just a moment, the fires disappeared, and then, something seemed to come through the sky.
Wu Ge raised his head and looked up, as if something black and round was flying over. This is a magical horse. Why can it fly?
boom!
Wu Ge disappeared.
He didn't know until his death why his body was missing, how he disappeared, and the soldiers around Wuge were also very miserable. The cast iron fragments flew out and penetrated the body, tearing the limbs apart, and the gunpowder ignited again. Mountain trees, poor people, it used to rain a lot in Ceylon Mountain Country, but it happened to be sunny these two days...
A mountain fire broke out, and the sergeants on the mountain were completely dumbfounded.
Is this the wrath of the gods or the punishment sent down by the Buddha?
Is this the God of Thunder from heaven, or the supreme magic weapon that eliminates evil?
Daming, was it sent by Buddha to punish us?
To kill or not to kill?
To resist or not to resist...
No matter what, life is the first priority. Faced with the constant gifts from the sky, this group of people did not intend to sign for them. They either ran away from the mountain road that was not on fire, or jumped directly into the sea.
Samara was not much better. The mountains were shaken. Such a powerful artifact was no longer something that humans could resist. Even though he tried his best to organize his troops, his position was still somewhat unstable, and some sergeants began to flee for their lives.
There were more than 3,000 people, but not long after, more than 200 people had been lost. How could we fight this battle?
Compared to Samara's panic, Silva, who was attacking from the front, was dumbfounded. He sat slumped on the beach and shivered. The sea in front of him was already on fire. These ships were already heavily damaged before they even got close to the Ming fleet. They were torn apart, and some of the sergeants were killed without even a scream.
This mysterious and powerful weapon must be the fire of hell. Only an existence in hell can be so shocking.
The sergeant charged several times, fell into the water and drowned, was killed by artillery fire, and was shot by the mysterious "dongdong" weapon. There were not many of Silva's wooden boats left, and the sergeant also retreated to the shore, not daring to get on the boat again.
The shore is not safe either.
Zheng He and the Ming Dynasty navy fleet were not benevolent Bodhisattvas. The ships were constantly moving, attacking with rams, fire blunderbuss, crossbows, divine machine cannons, trebuchets, and all weapons that could kill the enemy.
The tragic fighting situation caused the commander-in-chief of Mount Ceylon, Di Lai, to completely collapse. What kind of army is this? Why would it eject such a devastating thing?
Unlike others, Di Lai is knowledgeable and does not think this is some kind of artifact.
Di Lai knew that some countries farther west had developed cannons that could fire stone bullets, but they were just stone bullets that hit wherever they fell. To put it bluntly, they just flashed out a Due to his position, Shi Dan shouldn't be able to hit him, but why can the Ming Dynasty's cannon shine, heat, catch fire, and kill people?
Horrible, too terrifying!
Withdraw, must withdraw!
Di Lai knew that things could not continue like this, so he quickly ordered three fires to be lit, which was a signal to retreat.
The roar spread across the sky, and nearly fifty fire bombs pierced the sky, and then fell on the densely populated beach. A scene that Di Lai will never forget appeared. In the light of the fire, countless people rose into the air, and in mid-air There were stumps of limbs and broken arms, and then they were thrown around like a whirlwind.
There is no living person in the center of every flint.
Di Lai wanted to cry, he had never seen such a powerful weapon, retreat, retreat quickly!
At this point in the battle, no signal from Di Lai was needed, and Sergeant Ceylon Mountain knew he was running away.
While Zheng He ordered the ships to move forward, he also ordered the firing of the divine machine cannon. Since this thing was improved by the Second Artillery Bureau, its range and power have been greatly increased. It has become a life-harvesting divine machine cannon, especially when this group of people fleeing for their lives are crowded together. At the same time, the killing effect is further expanded.
After three rounds of divine machine guns, the port of Belori became quiet.
Dead silence.
No one from the Ming Dynasty navy came out to clean up the mess, nor did they go ashore to pursue them. They just parked quietly on the sea, looking at the floating corpses on the sea and the broken bodies on the beach through the starlight.
This is not the first time such a scene has been encountered, and the navy is somewhat used to it.
Luo Guanying was a little disappointed, and Shen Wei was also speechless.
After all, it is the main force that is here. You should take care of the main force's face to some extent. At the very least, you have to hit the edge of the ship. There is no way that someone can start running away after nearly a hundred steps.
Bah, what kind of main force is not a thing?
Zheng He overestimated the sergeants of the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom and underestimated the deterrent effect of the divine machine cannon on these countries. He did not even rush in with the reserve troops waiting outside the port, and the war ended just like that...
This is a bit unpleasant.
The next day, at dawn, the Ming navy began to disembark from the ship and sort out the corpses. They also found some living ones. Although some were maimed, some were still intact. I don’t know why they didn’t run away after a night. When I asked, they just wanted to worship Buddha. .
Okay.
Zheng He didn't know whether the Buddha would bless him or not, but Zheng He did not intend to bless the king of Mount Ceylon. He said to nearly a hundred captives: "Use your mouth to spread a message to everyone in Mount Ceylon. The Ming Dynasty wants Yalie to suffer." If Nair and his family are escorted to Belori and handed over to the Ming Dynasty within three days, the matter will be over. If the Ming Dynasty cannot see Ariel Kunel and his family in three days, then we will capture Ceylon. Mountain King Castle!”
After hearing the translation, the captured people repeatedly promised to take the message back with them.
Zheng He released the prisoners and ordered Zhang Yu to lead people to climb the mountain and occupy the commanding heights of the mountain. Then the ship would dock and clean up the mess. In fact, he would dig a hole and bury it.
It won't work if you don't bury them. The weather is a bit hot, and once a plague occurs, it will be over.
Ariel Kunel was furious. The 30,000-strong army, the absolute main force of Mount Ceylon, had lost more than 5,000 people without even touching the side of the ship?
That’s not how rice cooks work!
If we fight again, I don’t believe that tens of thousands of people can’t defeat dozens of ships!
