Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1069 Finally Found It

The act of these two little soldiers throwing the red beard into the sea to feed the fish made Han Suquan lose the chance to fulfill his promise to tear off the red beard himself, but the shark helped him complete the bloody job and tore the red beard into pieces The fragments were lost, so he has nothing to regret.When the battle was over, he immediately hung up the semaphore and asked the captains of the ships to come over for a meeting.

The captains of all the ships came in small boats one after another, and soon the deck was full of people, everyone chattered and twittered, it was very lively:

"I said buddy, where have you been running all this time?"

"Forget it, the storm was so dark that the ship was running around like a wild dog, and the sailors on board were vomiting gall! When the wind waited, we found ourselves in a long sea. The sea area full of seaweed, that ghostly place is lifeless, the seaweed is two or three feet above the sea surface, and the boat can't move if it sinks into it!"

"That's not to mention, the most terrifying thing is that at night, the seaweed rustles and crawls straight onto the boat. In the evening, the hull is still clean, but the next morning, the hull is covered with seaweed, grandma's! I can sleep soundly lying in the mass grave at night, but the ghostly place made my heart tremble, and now I still think of the rustling sound of seaweed crawling on the boat!"

"My God, how did you get away with it?"

"We put some small boats down, and let the sailors use their scythes to chop off the tall seaweed, and cut a few paths. It happened that the sea area was windy again, and we filled the sails, and it took a lot of effort. Li finally rushed out of that green hell... Along the way, we saw a lot of wreckage covered in seaweed, which made our scalps go numb!"

"Hehe, we were lucky. We were blown to an island. It was quite prosperous there. But the people on the island were short-sighted. When they saw the broken hull of our ship, they actually wanted to rob us. They were bombarded by us... Then we attacked the island and occupied their city. Hey, not to mention, there are many beauties on the island. They are fair-skinned, tall, and have good figures. They are so attractive!"

"and then?"

"Then? Then we gave them all the stocks we have had in the past few months!"

"Bastard! We are frightened at sea, and you are playing with women on the island, it's disgusting!"

"That's right, burn these lechers to death!"

"I produce coal!"

"I'll fire the torch!"

"I'm off the grill!"

The crowd on the deck was turbulent, and this storm caused everyone to suffer a lot. The difference is that some people escaped the storm and fell into a more dangerous situation, while others occupied a certain city by accident and had a good time. ...Generally speaking, most people suffered a lot, and few people got a blessing in disguise, so those guys who showed off their love affairs with lewd smiles committed public anger, and everyone roared to burn these bastards to death.Han Suquan glared at the guys who went to a certain island for a while, and began to talk about business, asking everyone to report the situation of the fleet.Everyone immediately became serious and gave reports in an orderly manner.After more than half an hour, the result came out: in this storm, four of their ships were sunk by the wind and waves, and more than 300 sailors were killed.The most terrible thing is that their flagship is still missing until now, and the life and death of the marshal is uncertain!Thinking of the whereabouts of the Marshal is unknown, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared. Yang Menglong is not only the Marshal of the Navy, but also the soul of the Heluo and Huguang areas. If there is something wrong with him, the consequences will be disastrous!

At this time, Jiang Yan, the commander of the first frigate formation, said: "You don't have to be so depressed. The marshal's luck has always been against the sky. He can resolve any dangerous situation. A mere storm can't help him." She walked to the chart and quickly marked it with a pencil, marking the positions of the warships after they escaped the storm one by one.She explained while marking: "These warships did not see the Warsong Horn on the way to rendezvous, so it can be determined that the Warsong Horn will not be in these sea areas... not here, not here, and not here..." Hai The map was quickly filled with red marks, leaving only a small blank space.She pointed to this blank area with her finger, and said confidently: "There are none of these sea areas, so there is no need to continue searching, and we can't find anything, so let's search in this direction." Point, "Colombo!"

Han Suquan gave the heroic female naval officer a thumbs up: "Okay, good analysis! Let's search in the direction of Colombo. Even if we turn this sea area upside down, we must find the marshal!"

The captains roared: "Turn over this sea area and find the marshal!"

Now that a decision has been made, everyone has no more nonsense, and immediately returned to their respective warships, opened a wide search net and searched in the direction of Colombo.

They encountered many fishing boats and merchant ships along the way. They wanted to ask them, but when they saw them, they immediately turned their bows and ran away. They were so fast and decisive that the Ming army fleet had no chance to intercept them.Jiang Yan became angry, and chased after them with two frigates, and finally stopped the two merchant ships after tossing around for two hours.Seeing that the two merchant ships could not escape, they immediately hoisted the white flag. The Indian captain shouted out of his wits: "I will give you all the goods and beauties on board, but for the sake of gods, don't hurt our lives!"

Jiang Yan: "...would you believe me if I said we were just looking for someone?"

Just like that, we drove people all the way to Colombo.Still far away, Jiang Yan vaguely heard a loud bang coming from the direction of the port, she changed her expression and listened intently.Not long after, there was another loud noise, and this time she heard it clearly, it was the unique roar of a shell explosion!She called: "160 Thunderbolt Cannon! It's 160 Thunderbolt Cannon! Our army is attacking Colombo!"

The sailors froze, and then let out loud cheers, and some of the more lively ones were terribly excited.Most of the battleships have returned to the team, and most of the ones that failed to return to the team have sunk. The battleship that is most likely to run towards Colombo is undoubtedly the Warsong Horn! The 160 thunderbolt gun is a unique weapon of the Ming army. It is the only one, and there is no semicolon. If the 160 thunderbolt gun is firing at the port of Colombo, it means that the Ming army is fighting the opponent. Where did this Ming army come from?Most likely the Warsong Horn!Their marshal is still alive, and is still alive and kicking to attack the city of Colombo!
At this time, the city of Colombo is staging a brilliant offensive and defensive battle.The attacking side only had 400 people, while the defending side had 120 people, and there were solid walls as support. With a strength of ten to one, the defending side had an absolute advantage no matter how you looked at it.However, at this time, the party with the absolute advantage was hiding behind the city wall and did not dare to show up, while the party with the absolute disadvantage was launching an attack in a swaggering manner.They had too few manpower to surround the city, so they only attacked the port. Three 160mm torpedo cannons and one [-]mm torpedo cannon fired continuously. The shells pulled out high parabolas, crossed the city wall and fell into the city. It exploded with a bang, and the shock wave of the explosion lifted up the panicked crowd and threw them around. Sharp shrapnel and gravel splashed in all directions at explosive speed... The defenders and civilians in Colombo had never been bombarded by high-explosive bombs, and they were all shocked by the tragic scene. They were so frightened that horrified screams and pitiful screams came one after another. Men, women, old and children ran wildly, trampling on each other. The number of people killed and injured was more than ten times more than the number of people killed and injured by the artillery!
Yang Menglong stood on a small dirt slope with his hands on his hips, looked at the city of Colombo that had been burned in flames, and shouted arrogantly: "Grandma, you bastards, you gangster Dutch people, actually turned your idea on me! Since You guys like to die so much, I'll let you die! Fire, fire! Boom these bastards to death!"

The soldiers were also unambiguous. They were shirtless and slammed. A round of shells flew out of the barrel at high speed, and then smashed into the city of Colombo, blowing up the city of Colombo.Amidst the sound of the rumbling guns, soldiers in black lined up in three rows and approached the city wall with their rifles in their hands. They did not climb up immediately, but kept firing at the city wall, throwing grenades. There was blood, and the grenade blew up the city wall like a volcanic eruption. The flames on the city wall shone, and shrapnel flew across, killing and wounding the soldiers guarding behind the arrows.The native soldiers were terrified by the tragic scene, dropped their weapons and fled in all directions. The relatively smaller number of Dutch soldiers did not collapse, but it also made the fleeing natives lose their footing.The governor of Colombo, with disheveled hair, brandished a long sword and roared at the fleeing native soldiers: "Go back! Go back! Hold on to the city wall and don't retreat, or everyone will die!!!" He roared loudly, but there was no No one ignored him, everyone was only focused on running away, the governor was so angry that he almost spurted blood!

A group of indigenous people rushed over carrying bamboo ladders and set up the bamboo ladders against the city wall.The Dutch soldiers raised their matchlocks and fired downwards. The bullets fell sparsely, causing small waves of mud to explode on the ground.Their number was too small, and the accuracy of the matchlocks was appallingly poor. A volley of guns could only knock down a few people.More than a dozen ladders were successfully set up. The Ming soldiers held rifles on their backs, held pistols in their right hands, and held a grenade in their left hands. Jieruo Yuanzi quickly climbed up, and the soldiers below continued to fire at the shooting holes in the city wall. As the volley fired, several more Dutch soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.Soon, No. 1 Ming Army soldier jumped from the crenel onto the city wall. Two Dutch soldiers yelled and rushed towards him with swords. He raised his pistol and pointed at the two burly guys and pulled the trigger, bang bang. With a bang, the bullets in the gun were empty. The blood and dust exploded one after another on the bodies of the two Dutch soldiers. Their bodies were twitching as if they were electrocuted. With each twitch, their life force was lost. The bullets were all gone. , one fell to the ground on the spot, and the other rushed to the Ming army soldier and struck with his sword.The Ming soldier slumped and slipped under the sword. The grenade hit the Dutch soldier's shin hard with a crisp sound. The Dutch soldier let out a howl and fell to the ground.Another Ming army soldier jumped up onto the city wall, and landed on the unlucky Dutch soldier with both feet at the same time. The unlucky man let out his last scream and died on the spot.

Then several Ming soldiers climbed up and quickly opened a gap in the city wall. The Dutch soldiers howled and rushed forward to try to block the gap. The Ming soldiers were also unambiguous. They were knocked down in twos and threes, causing casualties all over the place.The Dutch soldiers fought back desperately, and the Ming army condescendingly threw grenades on their heads, blowing up their flesh and blood, and the gap became wider and wider...

The officer in charge of defending this section of the city wall rushed to the governor and hissed, "My lord, I can't hold it any longer, retreat quickly!"

The governor roared: "We have thousands of people, they only have a few hundred, and you actually want me to retreat? Waste, waste!"

The officer's face was green and white, and he shouted: "My lord, look at them, look at their weapons, equipment and tactics, not to mention our motley crew, even the most elite main army in the Netherlands can't resist it!" Ah! My lord, the city walls can no longer be defended, we havetened to retreat into the city and fight them in the streets! They only have so few people, and they will definitely not be able to consume us when they enter the city!"

The governor almost gritted his teeth.Of course he knew that what the major said was absolutely correct. The Ming army's equipment, technology and tactics were far superior to theirs. The city wall could not be defended at all. Only street fighting had a chance of winning.However, abandoning the city wall meant losing the port. They had to lose a lot of profits every day. The longer it took, the worse the losses would be. The company had to take his skin off!

How could this be?
The governor glanced bitterly at the Warsong Horn parked at the port, his expression extremely complicated.

It's all the fault of this warship!
