Faced with Chen Shiliang's final struggle, Pang Huan did not rush to attack, let alone attack with fire, but chose to besiege.
The losses of a strong attack would be too great to be worth it.
The fire attack will definitely be effective, but it will prompt Chen Shiliang to lead everyone to break out of the encirclement. With Pang Huan's 100 shipwrights and more than 800 Zhongshan people, it is simply not enough to stop Chen Shiliang and Chen Sancai's 300 people.
A siege became the best option. Anyway, there were food reserves outside the courtyard, so no one would starve to death, but there were not many food reserves inside the courtyard. After three days of food, they would have to break out of the siege if they didn't.
Three days were enough for Pang Huan to lay many traps and set up roadblocks to prevent them from leaving.
After Gu Yun led a group of people to inspect, he returned to Pang Huan and said, "Chen Shiliang didn't make much movement. He probably hasn't made up his mind to break out yet."
Pang Huan stared at the direction of the courtyard: "Don't be careless, we must let the craftsmen build bows and arrows and horse-repelling stakes."
Gu Yun nodded.
Fortunately, the shipwrights here are all skilled craftsmen, and the materials for making bows and arrows are also available on the island. Although they cannot make a powerful bow, they can still make a bow that can kill people within fifty steps.
"The plume of smoke not long ago was a bit big. It must have been lit by Zhuang Zhengde. Will they be in any danger..."
Gu Yun asked.
Pang Huan smiled and shook his head: "What can make them take the initiative to expose themselves at this time is probably not enemies or dangers."
Gu Yun's eyes lit up, and he was a little excited: "You mean, people from the navy are here? It's unlikely. It's only been a while since we sent out the news. Judging by the time, the news has reached Fujian at most, and it's difficult to even reach the capital. "
Pang Huan stood up, looked in the direction of Yan Zhu, and said softly: "Don't forget, we are not playing the game of chess on Da Liuqiu Island. The real chess players are King Ning and Emperor Jianwen. On the eve of the chaos on Da Liuqiu Island, they It may not be impossible to see through the situation and allow the navy to prepare for the battle in advance and go into battle."
Gu Yun took a deep breath.
I am just a chess piece on the chessboard, a chess piece to realize Zhu Yunwen's strategy of Ryukyu, no, the East China Sea. Even though they are close to Chen Zuyi and Chen Shiliang, Zhu Quan and Zhu Yunwen are hundreds or thousands of miles away, but they all have amazing insights.
Although thousands of miles away, the chess piece still moves in the blink of an eye, and the time is not lost, and it is a good opportunity!
The sound of neat steps came from a distance, and the tall sun and moon flags fluttered at the front of the team.
Pang Huan, Gu Yun and others quickly looked around and saw that the leading general did not know him, but Pang Huan and Gu Yun knew Zheng Dacheng next to him.
Zheng Dacheng was so excited that he quickly rushed forward, rushed to the side of Pang Huan and Gu Yun, and clasped his fists heavily: "Zheng Fu Envoy Zheng Dacheng has met Pang Tongzhi and Gu Qianhu!"
Gu Yun clicked his tongue twice, then raised his hand and hit Zheng Dacheng on the chest: "Damn, just a trip to the Western Regions will make me a governor, okay."
Pang Huan looked at Zheng Dacheng, who had a pained look on his face, and laughed and said: "We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's so comforting to see you again on this island in the East China Sea. If you didn't bring wine, I wouldn't mind beating you up... "
"ah?"
Zheng Dacheng looked at Pang Huan who suddenly changed his words, with a look of astonishment on his face. You bloody-handed Yama, don't you know how to talk about old times?
Gu Yun nodded repeatedly. The wine on this island is all rice wine. For people who are used to drinking shochu, it is like a cold drink. Occasionally, there is a little good wine, which is obtained from Wu Ning. The quantity is pitiful.
Not having the pleasure of drinking for several years is far more difficult for a drinker than being dormant.
Pang Huan raised his head and pointed to the courtyard where Chen Shiliang was: "Now that the navy sergeant is here, this place will be left to you. But be careful, Chen Sancai has trained a group of masters who are very ferocious and difficult to deal with." "
"Are you willing to give up your military power to us?"
Feng Bao came closer and was a little surprised when he heard Pang Huan's words.
After Pang Huan asked about his identity, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Feng Qianhu, the credit of the Security Bureau is different from the credit of the sergeant. The credit of the Security Bureau is in the emperor's heart, the credit of the sergeant is in the military merit of the Ministry of War, and Chen Shiliang's head is to us It is said that it is not of much value, but for the sergeant, it can be exchanged for a lot.
benefit. "
Feng Zao was deeply moved. He didn't expect that the Security Bureau had such a high-minded and upright person who was not greedy for merit. This is a generous gift. Chen Shiliang's more than 300 people, whether dead or alive, are all valuable...
Pang Huan would not be dissatisfied with the lack of credit, but with the people in his hands, it was impossible to deal with Chen Shiliang's remnants in a short time. The situation on Daliuqiu Island was changing day by day, and Chen Shiliang was always holding him back. is the best solution.
Feng Zao listened to Pang Huan's instructions to "treasure the sergeants and try not to attack by force." He nodded with a smile and called several Baihu with a wave of his hand. Baihu left with more than a hundred people, and not long after, another one came running. .
Only this time, the soldiers were no longer carrying weapons, but squatting cannons and wooden boxes!
Pang Huan watched as Feng Zao skillfully arranged for the sergeants to deploy the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the ground nails were driven in, the wooden box was opened, and the gunpowder cartridges were taken out...
"The Navy has so many squatting cannons?"
Pang Huan asked in surprise.
Feng Zao was a little confused. He looked back and saw a hundred tiger crouching cannons. He scratched his head: "You call this many?"
Pang Huan didn't understand. Isn't that much?
Feng Zao suddenly realized that Pang Huan had been dormant in the Chen Zuyi Pirates for nearly two years and did not know much about the Ming Dynasty's rapidly developing firearms. He might have heard about the Great Victory of Qamdo, but he might not know the details.
The Tiger Crouching Artillery came to prominence during the self-conquest of Annan. It easily solved the war at 800 Dadian in Yunnan. It also shone brightly when attacking the cavalry in Qamdo.
The divine machine gun is powerful and has a long range, so it is the top priority of the Second Artillery Bureau's research. However, the status of the Tiger Crouching Cannon is second only to the Divine Machine Cannon in the artillery category. Because it is easy to carry, easy to use, and has a large elevation angle, it is suitable for sieges, field battles, forest warfare, etc., and has been vigorously developed.
The Ming Dynasty's army is undergoing an unprecedented change, that is, the use of firearms!
Feng Bao was a naval general and knew that the standard configuration of a treasure ship was ninety-six divine machine cannons, two hundred tiger squatting cannons, and one thousand new-style fire cannons.
I heard that some troops in the Beijing Army were more brutal. The standard quota for the 5,000-man Crouching Tiger Cannon was 800. On average, there was one Crouching Tiger Cannon for every six sergeants. Although this situation has not yet spread to the entire Beijing Army, with the further expansion of the Second Artillery Bureau and the increase in production capacity, it is impossible to say that the Beijing Army will have an unprecedented number of firearms within five years.
It's scary to think about it. These soldiers didn't start fighting even when they got to the formation. They just smashed nails on the ground, and then gunpowder bombs dropped from the sky. Anyone who fought with them would be scolded...
Feng Zao likes to use firearms very much. He thinks that these weapons are much better than swords, guns, bows and arrows. They are powerful and loud. It is unlucky for him to kill the enemy. He can frighten the enemy even if he cannot die, and it is easy to capture him.
"ignition!"
After Feng Bao completed the arrangements, he immediately gave the order.
Chen Shiliang and Chen Sancai are discussing how to break out of the encirclement and seize ships to leave Jingu Island. They have finalized the time, which will be on the fourth watch tonight.
At this moment, a pirate staggered in and threw himself to the ground in fear, shouting: "No, the Ming Navy is here to kill us!"
"What?"
Chen Shiliang's expression changed drastically. How could the Ming Navy move so fast?
According to time calculation, they have to wait for a month no matter what!
Chen Sancai was bitter: "Chen Erbao and Chen Dabao are both from the Security Bureau. They must have informed the Ming Dynasty Navy in advance! These two craftsmen are not enough to vent their anger if they are not killed!"
Just as Chen Shiliang was about to speak, he noticed something unusual. He raised his head and looked at the roof. He heard the sound of a tile being hit, followed by a huge noise. A big hole was ripped out of half of the roof in an instant, and smoke billowed down.
A gunpowder bomb fell and hit in front of Chen Sancai.
Chen Sancai looked at the black iron ball and rushed towards Chen Shiliang. The sound was followed by a wave of air, and the air wave was mixed with deadly fragments!
Chen Shiliang hit the ground hard, and looked at Chen Sancai who looked in pain, and suddenly panicked.
Chen Sancai coughed up a mouthful of blood, lay on his side on the ground, looked at the empty roof and the blue sky outside the roof, and said softly: "I have lived up to Chen Zuyi's trust, but I can only
Now that I can protect you, you have to walk the rest of the way on your own. "
Chen Shiliang was in great pain. When he lost Chen Sancai, he lost his most reliable person.
Cannonballs fell from time to time, and pirates hiding in the courtyard continued to die. Some people tried to rush out, but were either shot by bows and arrows or injured by firecrackers, and each one lost their fighting power and fell to the ground.
After three rounds of fire from the Tiger Crouching Cannon, Feng Zao ordered the sergeants to form a formation and enter the courtyard. Those who could be captured alive would be captured alive, and those who resisted would be killed.
Chen Shiliang was lucky and was not killed by a gunpowder bomb, but his luck ended there because he was captured when he wanted to resist.
If Chen Zuyi dies, he can take his head back, but Chen Shiliang still needs to be brought to the capital alive, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will use it to intimidate many vassal states and deter businessmen who are ready to get rich through robbery.
Pirates are the biggest threat to voyage trade. This threat must not only be eliminated, but also be a warning to the world. Their educational value is still worth digging into. It is always a good thing to have a few negative examples.
When Li Jian saw Pang Huan, he almost wanted to run away. This ruthless bloody-handed Yama was actually sent to Chen Zuyi by Zhu Yunwen. No, he had to keep a distance from him, the further away the better.
But hiding is impossible.
Liuqiu Island needs advice from a smart man like Pang Huan.
After hearing the suggestions from Li Jian and others, Pang Huan only shook his head: "Your views are all right, whether it is to take Shuri City directly, or to encroach step by step and annex the entire Zhongshan Kingdom, but the problem is, you see It’s not far enough away. What the emperor wants is not the Zhongshan Kingdom, but the Ryukyu Island, and the Three Ryukyu Kingdoms. The most important thing to do at the moment is not to take the Zhongshan Kingdom, but to drag the Shanbei Kingdom into the water..."
Li Jian took a deep breath, this Pang Huan, he wanted to bring the already chaotic Ryukyu Kingdom into complete chaos.
Xu An asked: "Shanbei Kingdom may not be able to go into the water, right?"
Pang Huan knocked on the table and said with a smile: "As long as we give Pan Anzhi, the king of Shanbei Kingdom, some benefits, he will definitely get into the water."
