Chapter 322. Cannon
It doesn’t rely on sails or oars! It’s all about waves in this life! Now the Zheng family fleet is very waves. In the dark night, a layer of white sea fog is raised by the sound of paddlings. There are more than fifty large ships. The fleet of Clippers is moving forward like a ghost.
The golden silk outfit on his body was also pulled out at this time. Zheng Zhilong was actually barely in his arms and stepped on the firing of more than a thousand pounds on the front of the clutch. His eyes stared at the dark night sky in front of him like a shark, and occasionally breathed bloodthirstyly.
The destination of this fleet is familiar with Nagasaki!
"Scholars are scholars, they are whispering all day long. When they reach the real chapter, they just can't. When they hear that they are angry, they are so scared! Haha!"
A shark knife was wrapped around his hand, blowing the cold night wind, and Zheng Zhibao was grinning and haha. The other pirate leaders of Shibazhi were also laughing.
"Maybe, maybe the military advisor has some other plans!"
Only Zheng Jing made a timid explanation. Unfortunately, even he was not confident. This immediately made Zheng Zhibao laugh and slapped him on the shoulder.
"Come on! I want me to say that they are all literati and are just stupid. If you really fight hard, it depends on our brothers! Brother, do you think so?"
Zheng Zhilong snorted without comment, and his pair of tricks always looked forward.
The distance between Ryukyu and Kyushu Island is not far. It is light and it is just a good time. It is only two or three hours of water. It is just dark and it is midnight when it arrives.
This era is not as bright as the light pollution in later generations. Originally, Nagasaki Castle could have some nightlife, but after Mao Jue sealed the port, Nagasaki Castle also degenerated from a commercial city to a highly hierarchical feudal city. Only the newly built Xiaotian Shou Pavilion could emit some faint lights, which was regarded as a lighthouse and pointed out a way for the pirates in the South China Sea.
"Dragonhead! Nagasaki is here!"
In front, Shi Daxuan raised his nine-ring machete and pointed forward. Zheng Zhilong, who had been stepping on the cannon, finally nodded, put down his feet, and then pulled out a big knife, gestured behind him twice, and a low shout. The Zheng family pirate who was shirtless or just wearing a vest was like a mouse who had left the nest, came out to the deck.
If it is open and upright, it will not be called a pirate! Having said that, it is worthy of being a subordinate of Zheng Zhilong. More than a dozen long boats like Vikings were quietly touching into Nagasaki Port. There were many ships anchored at the port, but most of the people at this point were sleeping and seeing Duke Zhou go. The long boat slid around the dense Japanese ships, and no one noticed it.
The bottom of the boat rushed to the beach and made a harsh friction sound. He held a shark knife. Zheng Zhibao, who had the hottest temper, was the first to jump off the boat. He was yelling while slashing the knife while lowering his voice.
"You guys! Go to the bell tower and take it for me! Then I put a torch at the dragon head. Lao San, you fucked me and stepped on all the dishes around me, and there were mushrooms directly! The rest followed me to the main street and fucked his mother's office first!"
With his gesture, five or six hundred pirates flocked to Nagasaki. These guys were really familiar with Nagasaki. They were kicked away by the pirate who was named after the broken houses near the beach. After confirming that there was no one, they climbed up the roof with their hands holding the wall. Several people went straight to the port as a lighthouse. The six or seven meters high bell tower ran to Zheng Zhibao, and the rest followed Zheng Zhibao and went straight to Xiaotianshouk in the center of the city to capture the thief and capture the king first. These pirates also understood.
However, the pirates were pirates. As soon as they walked across a street next to the port, in the large team with bare swords, a one-eyed dragon wearing a red turban suddenly felt anxious to pee and did not say hello. The guy went straight into the alley next to him. As soon as he took off his pants, he started to release water in the corner of the wall.
I guess I had eaten too much pickled vegetables on the boat. The water was burnt and there was a smell within half a meter. It was poured on the corner of the wall. Suddenly, a dark and shiny helmet jumped up suddenly, and roared in anger with a wet end.
"Baga, the road! Death, the ground!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I soaked my urine, I poured a sleepy Japanese warrior. Looking at the guy who was still wiping the white face, the one-eyed dragon chuckled and raised the knife first without even lifting his pants.
But he couldn't laugh immediately. In the thunderous sound, behind the piss warrior, the quarrels of black helmets and the mushrooms after the rain appeared one by one. The sound of the knife sharpening the scabbards one after another. A few seconds later, the entire alley was filled with cold samurai sword lights.
The man who had wiped his face cleanly looked at him with a samurai sword in his arms. The samurai grinned and showed a grim smile on his face.
"That, the villain has gone the wrong way. You continue, continue, and the little one will take his leave first!"
He was stared at by ten thousand Timo Yin, and threw away the one-eyed dragon knife, and giggled, carrying his pants and slipped out of the alley.
But before he could slip out two steps, a scream and scolding sounded again from behind.
"Baga, let's give it to me!"
Amid the heavy flapping sound, hundreds of samurai swords were raised high and slashed towards his forehead, shouting "Oh my God!" The one-eyed dragon also wished that his parents would give him more legs, and cried for his parents and shouted for his miserable thrust, heading straight to the pirate team.
"Master Leopard! I'm in an ambush!"
…………
On the sea, Zheng Jun's big boat was still slowly sneaking towards Nagasaki Port quietly, but when he came, all the big oars were replaced by small oars. The sailors on the lower level tried to lighten every time they made no sound, and stepped on the cannon again. Zheng Zhilong was still staring at Nagasaki Castle in front of him, but he was still thinking about Chen Yonghua and what he said before leaving.
The dragon head! The little fish is in front and the real dragon is behind! The potato is hot, throw it away if it should be!
He knew this sour scholar too well. He should have guessed something, but he was too confident that he didn't tell him clearly. He also reminded himself that he could just let the minions rush forward and never follow him. Once things are not good, he should just leave!
In my heart, I looked down on Song Xiance from the bottom of my heart, and Mao Jue, the master behind him, was too confident about his pirates. Who would have thought that he would come from all the way, negotiate during the day, and attack at night immediately at night? But Chen Yonghua's words still made Zheng Zhilong feel a little uneasy.
But just as he frowned and was full of anxiety, a torch on the bell tower shook three times at the sea, which immediately made Zheng Zhilong breathe a sigh of relief. This was Zheng Zhibao's signal, meaning that the port was successful!
The port was robbed, so why are you so polite? After a moment of expression, Zheng Zhilong drew out his knife again and held his hands on the bow of the boat.
"Little ones, the tide has faded! Crabs and turtles are covered with sand, carrying baskets, and driving his mother to the sea!"
"Go to the sea!"
Starting from Zheng Zhilong's big boat, the sailors dragged the long sound, and the pirates rowing the boat immediately changed to big oars, and they didn't care about anything. The wide and thick oar leaves were rushing in the water, and the fleet accelerated several times in an instant!
The sea is coming! The whole city is full of gold, silver and treasures, whoever gets the damn snatches will be who! Who doesn't want to get water? On the deck, the pirates who have been waiting have even more fanaticism, and the ship is moving as fast as the wind.
But before the ship could rush out for two or three miles, a flash of flames flashed one after another in the dark city of Nagasaki, delaying for a full second. The sound of iron cannons like fried beans suddenly came into his ears. Seeing Zheng Zhilong's speeding face suddenly changed, the Western telescope was raised, staring for more than ten seconds. The largest pirate leader in the South China Sea roared in shock and anger.
"The fourth brother is not good! The eagle claw grandson was shocked in the city! He pulled the living boy side by side and rushed me!"
As he roared, the pirates rowing faster and their paddles were flying.
But not only Zheng Zhilong was anxious, but also a group of people were waiting anxiously and excitedly on the other side.
Nagasaki Castle is located in a bay surrounded by a circular coastal mountain. On the top of the hill, a strange cement bulge was covered with rice on the word "Rice". The dark muzzle stretched out from the middle of the word "Rice", and the dark face towards the sea. In a small eye above the word "Rice", the telescope was also staring at the moving fleet.
Under his feet is the most powerful artillery of the Dongjiang Army at this time. If we follow the British Navy's division, there are almost 32 pounds of giant beast-level shore defense cannons. It is estimated that in addition to the Urban cannons that Turkey used when attacking Constantinople, in this era of firearms, there are few cannons comparable to these caliber and range.
A total of eleven 32-pound shore defense cannons weighing more than five tons were distributed behind the fortresses around the mountain positions. Originally, these cannons were prepared to open a port for Jeju Island and become an international port in Northeast Asia. He specially cast it in the past few months after withdrawing troops from Japan. He never expected that Jeju Island Port had not started construction, and the first power was now displayed outside Nagasaki City.
The telescope opened downwards, and Mao Jue clenched his fists nervously, without any calmness that his master should have, and kept urging and muttering.
"You turtle! Zheng Zhilong, hurry up! Hurry up!"
That nervous look was like I wish I could kick the Zheng family sailor away and personally cut it.
There was a table on the observation stand behind Mao Jue, not afraid of night fat. Adrena held a snack in her mouth, chewing it while looking at the documents. Mao Jue muttered endlessly and was annoyed to the foreign girl. Hu Lu stuffed the snack into her mouth and started shouting impatiently.
"Master! Didn't you Confucianism say that Mount Tai collapsed before her face remained unchanged? Can you always keep your focus?"
Before he finished speaking, Mao Jue suddenly slapped his thigh hard: "I've entered the float, two thousand meters, the third target!"
"I've entered the float! I've entered the float! The third target, correct the muzzle!"
Just now, she said she should be steady, but this girl was comparing who was driving. She screamed and almost fell down the stairs at the observation port. Amid her screams, the gun teams who were waiting anxiously against the giant cannons suddenly became busy. Eight strong men shook the huge turntable wheel together. The heavy muzzle was dragged under the chains as thick as thighs, and raised their heads and stuck to the upper right of the rice-shaped launch port.
Seeing the cannon getting up and thrust into the telescope with a cheer. Adrena noticed that Mao Jue was looking at him with a strange look. The girl looked red, but she hummed with a thick skin.
"The master is a gentleman. It is natural for Mount Tai to collapse before his face and his expression remains unchanged. I am a woman, so it is natural for him to shout!"
What a fallacy? Mao Jue was speechless.
The two highest leaders of Dongjiang squealed like children. The artillery group below was not idle. The fuse hissed in and covered his ears. More than a dozen artillery soldiers scattered everywhere. With a loud bang, the entire artillery was shocked and fooled.
Mao Jue only felt shocked, but Zheng Zhilong was sailing really felt that the god of death greeted him. This round of artillery fire was not effective. Eleven shells hit a unit, but only one shot hit. However, this shot shot shot through the front mast, penetrated one or two decks and bottom poles, and opened a transparent hole of more than two meters for the Zheng army's large ship.
Zheng Zhilong, who had broken a keel, was bounced around the side and was surrounded by water. He turned his head incredibly and looked at the 45-meter-long warship beside him and turned around with a creaking sound. With a click, the water began to enter!
This round of artillery bombardment was like a signal. Yang Qi, the general of the Dongjiang Navy stationed on Iki Island, jumped up excitedly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"God is sending a signal and march!"
In the loud ox horns, the densely packed Dongjiang fleet sailed away from the port one after another, and the shape of the god of death's sickle edge surrounded the flanks of Nagasaki Island.
Zheng Zhilong is so famous that he has too many battle examples to study, especially when he defeated his rival Xu Suxin, he relied on smiling face to face and killing Xu Suxin in the port with a surprise attack. According to the news brought by Luo Ning, Mao Jue is 50% sure that this guy will come to attack him.
Song Xiance went to pretend to be a grandson, and even more so that he could be despised, he led the snake out of the cave. In Nagasaki City, Mao Jue ambushed nearly 10,000 samurai warriors, and the fleet was waiting for him to fall into the trap. Sure enough, the arrangement that night did not blow the cool breeze.
Unfortunately, Dongjiang is not completely unscrupulous. Mao Jue ignored the information brought back by Song Xiance, or half of it. Zheng Zhilong's clothes were too gorgeous! It was so extravagant!
Mao Jue looked at the big boat that was pierced through with one shot and started to silence the circle. He was swinging his fists down excitedly. Then Adrena screamed in surprise and hurriedly squeezed in front of the telescope. Mao Jue was stunned.
"This... is too cowardly!"
In the first round of artillery attacks, Zheng Zhilong even wanted the team to get ashore. With a command, the assault fleet of fifty Clippers came neatly and turned right and began to retreat. Mao Jue's eyes were almost out of breath and shouted in anger.
"Bi Sun wants to run away, hurry up and prepare and continue to hit him!"
Unfortunately, the larger the cannon, the longer the range, the slower the firing speed. This iron rule is unfavorable even if Mao Jue is anxious. Once again, the giant cannon roared again. It was already five minutes later. The cannon was not able to be calibrated. The eight giants shook the wheel and pulled the turret five or six meters away because of the recoil. As soon as they shook the fuse back, they had already lit up.
However, all the rampages killed the master. This round of artillery attacks that did not aim too much, instead hitting four guns, which should be related to the fact that Zheng Jun gathered too closely. Two of them hit a boat. Amid the howling sound of rupture, the not-so-solid peripheral clutch was torn into two halves. The Titanic sank down, and the panic Zheng Jun pirates fell into the water like dumplings.
