Part One: The Storm in Penghu Chapter 123 Preparations before the War

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news that Liu Xiang was about to invade Penghu spread quickly throughout Penghu.

    The people in Penghu have nothing to worry about. In their view, it doesn¡¯t matter who comes to invade. The important thing is that they have "Inspector Ding" with them.

    Where there is Inspector Ding, there is victory; where Inspector Ding is, no pirate can attack Penghu.

    This is a kind of confidence, which has been accumulated by the Penghu soldiers and civilians in many battles in the past.

    Necessary preparations are still indispensable, and the entire Penghu is busy because of this.

    The Fenggui City Fortress and the Mazu Temple were each equipped with two thousand-pound Buddha machines. Although they could not directly provide surface support during naval battles, they could still act as a deterrent.  Especially once the naval battle is lost, when the enemy lands for battle, the joint bombardment of Fenggui City Fortress and Mazu Temple will be able to delay the enemy's attack to the greatest extent.

    The ships also began to take action.  According to Ding Yunyi's intention, half would be used to confront Liu Xiang head-on, while the other half would be hidden until the critical moment to be dispatched to defeat the pirates in one fell swoop.

    "Challenger", as the warship with the largest tonnage and the most powerful firepower in the Penghu Navy, is likely to play a decisive role.

    Everything is arranged in an orderly manner, no one is nervous, and no one is afraid.

    This is a battle involving all the forces of Penghu.  The Penghu navy, infantry, Ming Dynasty Ocean Company, Penghu people everyone who can participate in the war has been mobilized.

    Ding Yunyi did not expect that in such a short time since he came to this era, he could already command a battle of this scale.

    Some of his subordinates repeatedly persuaded him that he did not need to go to the battle in person, especially to personally command the warships to take the lead in the battle, but Ding Yunyi did not agree.

    In such an era, when the strength is obviously insufficient, whether a general is brave or not will play a decisive factor, and even the performance of the general will turn the tide at critical times.

    This is the main reason why Ding Yunyi always fights on the front line.

    ¡°At present, there are more than 600 regular army and Ming Ocean Company employees in Penghu.  In order to recruit soldiers, almost all the young and strong men in Penghu were recruited.  If it hadn't been for the recruitment of some pirates who surrendered one after another, I'm afraid this number would not have been reached.

    The warships include one each "Challenger" and "Follower", two Eagle ships, one each 400-material battle ship, 400-material patrol ship, two Haicang ships, and one Cangshan ship  , one centipede boat, two fire dragon boats, plus modified fishing boats, there are a total of twenty-one ships available for combat.

    Compared with Liu Xiang, this kind of power is too weak, but Ding Yunyi already feels very satisfied. He is confident that he can use the limited resources at hand to win this battle.

    In addition to professional soldiers, he also has another powerful weapon, namely Cai Jiuzhou, Zhang Xianxuan, and Ye Dahai, who are nicknamed the "Three Bandits" by the brothers.

    Needless to say, Zhang Xianxuan and Ye Dahai, although Cai Jiuzhou comes from a serious maritime business family, he has been at sea for a long time and is fierce and shrewd. In the eyes of his brothers, he is no different from a pirate.

    These "Three Bandits" are extremely experienced in naval battles. The brothers they brought out are all excited when they smell the smell of blood. With their help, they will be able to show their majesty in naval battles.

    Ding Yunyi has one last secret weapon:

    "Challenger"!

    This huge warship built by the Dutch has fierce gunfire and a huge hull. Once it appears on the battlefield, it will be a huge shock to pirates.

    Now, everything is ready, just waiting for Liu Xiang to arrive.

    ¡°As Ding Yunyi said, if you win this battle, Penghu will be greatly boosted; if you lose, all the previous hard work will be in vain.

    You can only win, not lose!

    Ding Yunyi is waiting patiently, and the brothers are also waiting patiently.

    But before Liu Xiang arrived, another person who Ding Yunyi never dreamed of arrived.

    Looking at the woman in front of him, who was surrounded by two maids and covered her face with a hat and scarf, Ding Yunyi felt so familiar. When the woman took off her hat and scarf, Ding Yunyi blurted out:

    "Han Xiaoxiao? Miss Han?"

    Even Ding Yunyi wouldn¡¯t believe it, Han Xiaoxiao actually appeared in Penghu at this time!

    Han Xiaoxiao smiled: "Did Inspector Ding forget your invitation to Quanzhou?"

    Ding Yunyi was startled for a moment, and then he came to his senses.  That day, when he was about to leave Quanzhou, Han Xiaoxiao sang a song "Shaolin Guanwu" for him.  Ding Yunyi laughed and said:

    "Miss Han, what a strong person can conquer the magic power, get used to it"?You can beat a tiger with light force.  Ding Yunyi went first. If Miss Han can come to Penghu one day, Ding Yunyi will definitely act like a landlord and let Miss Han see with her own eyes how the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty in Penghu slay dragons and tigers!  "

    ¡°I never expected that Han Xiaoxiao would actually come.

    "Duan San'er, go get some water with Miss Han." Ding Yunyi said to his personal follower, Duan San'er, who was Kiohmaru's subordinate at the time.

    Duan Saner had been shocked by Han Xiaoxiao's beauty for a long time. After hearing Ding Yunyi's instructions, he came to his senses and hurriedly ran out to pour water.

    "Miss Han, please sit down." Ding Yunyi was a little embarrassed: "Why is Miss Han here at this time?"

    Han Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "What, Inspector Ding doesn't welcome us? Or was the invitation in Quanzhou that day just a joke?"

    "Ah, no." Ding Yunyi said hurriedly: "It's just that there will be a war in Penghu in the blink of an eye. The big pirate Liu Xiang led his troops to attack. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous here."

    "I heard about it before I went to the island." Han Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care at all: "Xiaoxiao was in Quanzhou. I heard that Ding did a lot of big things after returning from inspection, and even killed Oniwang Maru. Xiaoxiao was struck by  Infinite admiration. I originally wanted to come to Penghu to visit Inspector Ding, but I heard that you went to the capital, so I suppressed the idea. I was so shameless that I came to Penghu by myself because of the war.  Xiaoxiao is even more reluctant to leave. "Xiaoxiao has heard how powerful the inspection is, and today we can see how the inspection can slay dragons and tigers!"

    Ding Yunyi felt that it was a bit difficult to handle, but Han Xiaoxiao seemed to understand his thoughts: "The inspector does not need to worry about us, just go ahead and kill the pirates and keep my people safe."

    People have already mentioned this, so how can Ding Yunyi have any reason to chase away guests?  Then he laughed a few times: "Since Miss Han insists on this, then I will ask people to clean up the two clean barracks and come out. When the war starts, Ding Yunyi will have no time to take care of Miss Han."

    "That's right." Han Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "A man should compete on the battlefield and serve the country, so why should he be distracted by a woman? Xiaoxiao knows how to take care of himself."

    Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.
