Part One: The Storm in Penghu Chapter 174: Fair Wind!

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sudden sound of gunshots and shouts of death woke up the city gate of Relanja City.

    The sneak attack turned into a violent attack.

    I have to admit that Second Lieutenant Jeremy is a conscientious officer. As long as he has any slack, the city gate will be opened now.

    But such a thing did not happen.

    Zhao Guangyi and his brothers also fell into a hard fight because of Jeremy's vigilance.

    Although the Hongyi soldiers guarding the city gate were small in number, tired, and rushed into battle, they still showed good qualities despite so many unfavorable factors.

    They quickly organized a defense and tried their best to block the enemy's attack.

    The biggest disadvantage of the Night Raiders is that they only have short blades in their hands.  Xie Tian and Chen Dong also thought of a way, but Hongyi was too vigilant about this, and there was no way to transport larger weapons to Relanja City.

    Guarding the city gate were twelve Hongyi soldiers. They lined up in three rows and shot separately. This killing tactic was extremely fatal for the night raiders with only twenty people.

    A brother who rushed in front fell in a pool of blood during Hongyi's first round of shooting.

    "Spread out and charge!" Zhao Guangyi's eyes were red and he was the first to pull out his short blade and charge forward.

    Once the nineteen sneak attackers dispersed, Hongyi suddenly lost his shooting target.  Although the musket used by Hongyi is very powerful, its shooting accuracy is very poor and its loading is slow.  Although the second and third rounds of shooting shot down two more Night Raiders, the terrible reloading speed meant that the shooters in the first round had just finished loading and before they had time to shoot, the Night Raiders had already advanced by more than a dozen  step.

    This is a distance that can determine victory or defeat.

    "Brothers, kill Hongyi!"

    Following Zhao Guangyi¡¯s roar, the roar of ¡°Kill Hongyi¡± resounded through the city gate.

    Seventeen night raiders braved the enemy's guns and rushed forward!

    Amidst the roar of "boom, boom" muskets, the two brothers beside Zhao Guangyi fell, but they finally rushed forward with all their strength.

    Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed, but he staggered and almost fell down.

    He could feel that he was injured, and it was very serious. Damn Hongyi shot himself.  But at this time, he couldn't fall down no matter what.

    He gritted his teeth and roared with all his strength:

    "Kill Hongyi!"

    ?¡­

    "Kill Hongyi!"

    Almost at the same moment, Chen Dong's roar also sounded in the direction of the tower.

    Regardless of the impact of life and death, he finally rushed forward after paying the lives of six brothers.

    At this time, Jeremy still didn¡¯t panic too much. He knew that the time had come to decide the outcome. If he persisted, reinforcements would arrive soon.

    He drew his sword and loudly encouraged his men to rush towards the night attackers.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The brave man wins!

    ?¡­

    "My lord, there is a loud killing sound from the city tower, and Chen Dong has already taken action!"

    "Okay!" Ding Yunyi said loudly: "Brothers, whoever goes to the tower first will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins!"

    The first wave of attackers was the team of one hundred prisoners led by Xiao Yifeng.

    Countless drills at Fenggui City Fortress in Penghu finally came in handy at this time.

    Flying claws, scratching hooks, and siege ladders appeared one after another. The one hundred prisoners, shouting and screaming, desperately climbed towards the tower of Relanja City.

    The one who climbed the hardest and most desperately was Wang Wei.

    He only had the simplest and most simple thoughts in his mind:

    I want to be a general, and I want to tell that bitch that she has the wrong person!

    Second Lieutenant Jeremy on the tower still did not panic even though he was being attacked from two sides.  While using a small number of soldiers to block attacks from the back, he personally led the main force to guard the tower.

    One of the flying claws was cut off, and the soldiers who were halfway up the climb screamed and fell down, but the newcomers immediately climbed more bravely towards the city of Relanja.

    The cannon on the tower also began to roar, and a cannonball fell into the attackers' team, immediately blowing up the whole group.

    Ding Yunyi watched all this calmly, completely ignoring the threat of artillery fire from the city of Relanja. No one or force could shake his determination to capture the city of Relanja

    ?¡­

    The Red Yi battleship "Hocktok".

    When the battle to attack the city of Relanze began, Captain Franz, the captain of the "Hocktok", was also awakened. His first reaction was that RelanzZhecheng was attacked by the enemy.

    Although Captain Franz was surprised, he was not too panicked.  The last time the powerful pirate Liu Xiang also carried out a sneak attack on the city of Relanjia, but it also failed under the fire of the city of Relanjia and the battleships on the sea.

    He judged that this was also a sneak attack by pirates.

    The big pirate Liu Xiang has failed, and this time it¡¯s just some little pirates who don¡¯t know the importance.

    The Hocktok opened fire.

    The firing of artillery fire from the sea soon posed a great threat to the attackers.

    Ding Yunyi used almost all his strength on the frontal attack on Relanzhe City. It seemed that he was not preparing for a naval battle with the Hongyi battleship, but in fact, all this had been predicted by Ding Yunyi.

    According to the information provided by Xie Tian, ??once the city of Relanja is attacked, the first one that can provide support to the defenders is the "Hocktok".

    Ding Yunyi handed over the task of dealing with the "Hocktok" to a group of people who, at least on the surface, seemed unreliable:

    The Six Pirates of the Pirate Alliance!

    If it were during the day, in a face-to-face battle, the total strength of the six pirates would not be the opponent of the "Hocktok", but now it is night, which gives this group of pirates the best opportunity to perform.

    Fifteen small boats were lined up, with two people in each boat, and they were piled with fire starters.

    This is the most famous "fire ship tactic" of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

    It looks simple and violent, but it is effective.

    Using the darkness as cover, Taiwan's offensive and defensive battles completely attracted the attention of the "Hocktok". Fifteen fireships, under the personal leadership of six pirates including Hai Nixiong, rowed quietly.  To the "Hocktok".

    There was no sound at all on the fireboat, everyone was rowing hard.

    Getting closer and closer to the "Hocktok", at this time, the sea mud bear lit the fire starter on the fire ship, then turned over and got off the ship with his companions, and got into the sea.

    Fifteen fire boats were all set on fire, and the people on board got into the sea water, and then watched happily as the lit boats rushed towards the "Hocktok".

    Fair wind!

    "Captain, look, what is that!"

    The sea was dotted with stars, and Captain Fritz was stunned.

    God, the fire ship is a terrible fire ship!

    In the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, the Hongyi Fleet was defeated by the Ming Dynasty's fireship tactics, and now, this scene appears again.

    However, it was too late to take precautions at this time.

    Fair wind!

    The fate of the "Hocktok" has been determined!
