Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Everyone looked towards the sea in the distance and saw several warships slowly sailing towards the alley entrance.

As time went by, the situation on the sea became clearer and clearer.

There were a dozen dilapidated Fujian warships of only 500 tons being closely chased by more than thirty huge and aggressive three-decker galleons of over a thousand tons.

These galleons flew the Union Jack of the British Empire high up in the wind, demonstrating their great strength and majesty.

"It seems that this fierce battle was caused by the conflict between the British warships and the Brunei navy." Yuan Chengzhi looked at the scene in front of him and said slowly with a serious expression.

He knew very well that the current war situation might not be optimistic for Brunei.

"Master, you see, the Brunei navy has returned in defeat. It seems that they suffered a great loss in the naval battle! Will the British turn to attack our innocent merchant ships?" He Ti Shou asked with a worried look on his face.

Yuan Chengzhi stroked his chin, thought for a moment and then replied: "It's hard to say. If the British really want to attack the merchant ship, we have to find a way to get ashore as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire."

At this moment, the Brunei navy was seen fleeing at full speed like a frightened bird.

When they led the British warships that were chasing them to about four kilometers away from the dock, they suddenly turned the rudder flexibly and began to sail parallel to the dock.

As a result, the aggressive British fleet was exposed defenselessly in front of the Red Cannons that were ready for battle at the dock, and the Brunei Navy took the opportunity to rush towards the merchant ships in the safe harbor.

As the saying goes, the opportunity cannot be missed, and the time will never come again.

When the British warships entered the effective range of the 5000-meter land artillery, hundreds of red-haired cannons on the dock roared in unison. For a moment, the sound of the cannons was deafening, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.

Countless heavy iron bombs poured out like a rainstorm, smashing into the British warships.

The British warships at the front were caught off guard and were instantly riddled with holes by the dense iron balls, looking horrible.

“Stop pursuing!” A terrified cry came from the British warship.

Then there was another loud shout: "Retreat! As the order was given, the originally arrogant British fleet had to turn around and flee in embarrassment.

The once majestic artillery on the British warships seemed a little powerless at this moment. Their range was only a pitiful two thousand meters, which meant that they could not launch an effective attack on the Red Cannon group that was waiting in full battle array at the dock.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the British warships had no choice but to retreat.

However, even during the retreat, there were still some British soldiers who were unwilling to retreat. While they were maneuvering the warships to retreat, they were frantically firing at the safe harbor.

In an instant, iron balls weighing 2 to 3 pounds streaked across the sky like meteors and fell rapidly from the sky.

These iron balls smashed into the ships anchored in the harbor with tremendous impact force, making deafening "bang bang" noises.

Even the ship Yuan Chengzhi was on was not spared. The people who had gathered on the deck to watch the excitement were frightened by the sudden attack and screamed.

They fled in panic and hid in the cabins as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Brunei artillery array on the port responded quickly, adjusted the shooting angle in time, and then launched round after round of fierce bombardment at the British warships that dared to approach the safe harbor.

Under the pressure of powerful artillery fire, the British warships had to speed up their escape and eventually sailed far away from the 5000-meter range of the coastal defense red cannon.

At this time, the Brunei navy who had previously hidden in the safe harbor could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they all went ashore to rest.

As for those ships that were destroyed or damaged in the battle, emergency repairs were carried out in no time.

At the same time, merchant ships from Brunei and China in the safe harbor were allowed to go ashore to unload cargo or replenish supplies.

As for merchant ships from other countries, they are still trapped in the safe harbor, under strict control, and cannot move freely for the time being.

After Yuan Chengzhi and He Ti Shou went ashore, they found an inn in Brunei City that looked relatively clean and tidy and settled down there.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Yuan Chengzhi was still immersed in his sleep when he was suddenly awakened by a burst of intensive gunfire.

It turned out that this group of British people quietly landed on a beach not far from Brunei City under the cover of night.

Three thousand well-trained and well-equipped soldiers were now launching a fierce attack on the east gate of Brunei City.

The British obviously had a plan in advance. They dismantled more than a hundred cannons on the warships, quickly reassembled them, and bombarded the city gates frantically.

For a moment, the sound of cannons was deafening, flames shot into the sky, and the entire Brunei city seemed to be plunged into a doomsday scene.

The Brunei soldiers responsible for defending the city seemed somewhat panicked.

Because the incident happened suddenly, they had moved all the powerful red cannons on the city walls to the port to defend against possible enemies attacking from the sea.

Now, facing such a fierce artillery offensive from the British, they simply did not have enough cannons to fight back, and could not effectively suppress the enemy's firepower. They could only helplessly hide under the battlements of the city walls, passively enduring round after round of enemy bombardment.

However, if they were to risk sending people to dismantle the red cannons in the port and move them to the city gate to strengthen the defense, then the enemy ships that were eyeing them covetously at sea would surely take the opportunity to drive straight into the port, which would bring a greater threat to Brunei City not far away.

You know, the city of Brunei is not very large, with a total population of only more than 30,000 people, and the number of soldiers is even smaller, only two or three thousand.

At this moment, there are less than 200 soldiers who can defend the city gate against foreign invasion. The situation is extremely critical!

Suddenly, there was a loud and rapid sound of gongs and drums on the street, accompanied by a loud voice shouting:

"The Brunei King has issued an order that all Brunei and Chinese men in our city should rush to the city gates to defend the city. Anyone who kills an enemy will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"

The sound was like a thunder that broke through the sky and instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The originally quiet and peaceful neighborhood suddenly became noisy and bustling, with people whispering and talking among themselves.

Whether they were native Brunei people or Chinese people who came from afar, they were all excited after hearing the news.
