Daming pirates

Chapter 211 Bingfa Weitouwan

As soon as the beacon fire on the Weitou side was lit, Qianhushuo City and Inspection City on Kinmen Island immediately learned the news. Soon, several beacons on the shore also saw the sea that appeared on the sea in the north of the island.

The wolf fleet immediately followed suit and lit the beacon fire.

The one who is currently in charge of Kinmen Island is just doing inspections, because Mr. Qian who entered Qianhusuo is not in the city of Kinmen Qianhusuo at this time, and this time Mr. Qian happened to be transferred by Yu Zigao to accompany the army on the southern expedition.

Island, but now life and death are uncertain, so this inspection can only be used to stay here temporarily.

It turns out that when Kinmen Qianhu Station was first built during the Hongwu period, there were still hundreds of officers and soldiers stationed on the island. However, as time went by, the number of guards at Qianhu Station became less and less. Some of them escaped, and some were exterminated.

The Qianmen House in Kinmen has reached the apocalypse

During the year, the entire Kinmen Thousand Household Residence had become useless, with less than 300 guards left in total. However, this time Yu Zigao led his army to the battle and transferred more than 100 people from here, making the entire Kinmen Island

There were only less than two hundred guards left.

These guards may be said to be soldiers, but in fact they are basically serfs of the officers. They just have the reputation of being soldiers. They are not even as good as ordinary people. They have been exploited by their superiors for generations, and those guards

Among the officers of the institute, after so many years of hereditary training, there are very few who are capable of fighting, and they have basically become landowners who have taken military positions.

Therefore, at this age, the guard system has long since collapsed, causing various guards to basically lose their ability to fight, and even the combat effectiveness of some township warriors formed by themselves in villages and towns is inferior.

When he learned that the Sea Wolf Fleet had appeared near Kinmen Island, the patrolman who stayed behind was so frightened that he quickly ordered the gates on all sides of the guardhouse to be closed and summoned guards to garrison in the city. In fact, he did not expect these guards to be able to

To block the Sea Wolf's attack, he actually counted on the fact that the Sea Wolf was not here to attack Kinmen Island this time.

As we all know, the current Haicheng, also known as Yuegang, is the only official port open to foreign trade in the Ming Dynasty, so it has always been a place of concern to pirates. However, as the gateway to Haicheng, the Kinmen Qianhu Station and the Zhongzuo Station

, but was not taken seriously by the pirates.

Zhongzuo Suo and Kinmen Island have also become temporary resting places for pirates. Even in normal times, pirate ships will come to Weitou to take shelter. Instead of expelling them, the local defenders will facilitate them.

Do some business with pirates, provide them with supplies and fresh water, etc.

Therefore, the current patrol guarding Kinmen Island has never thought about guarding Kinmen Qianhusuo City. He just secretly prayed that the sea wolf came here this time and headed for Yuegang and would not provoke them.

However, the people at Kinmen Qianhu Station obviously made a mistake. The Sea Wolf fleet did not bypass Kinmen Island and go straight into Waitou Bay to go to Yue Harbor. Instead, it rushed straight to Kinmen Island and landed on the shore.

Bian Luofan stopped the ship, and some of the Feizhi speedboats quickly bypassed Kinmen Island, sailed into Weitou Bay, and began to expel and clear the ships on the sea in this area.

Soon Sea Wolf began to unload batches of Sea Wolf tribesmen from the large ship. It was obvious that these Sea Wolf tribesmen were a group of very well-trained personnel. Although there was no dock or personnel at the location where Sea Wolf docked.

To get ashore, we basically use a small boat to ferry them ashore, but from a distance, we can see that the Seawolf unloading personnel are well organized and move very quickly.

Moreover, on several of Sea Wolf's troop carriers, ropes were hung on both sides of the ship. The personnel carried their own equipment, climbed down the ropes, quickly got down to the boats, and then quickly ferried to the shore.

The people who came ashore first immediately dispersed in an organized manner, took control of the surrounding commanding heights, and quickly captured a nearby beacon. Several soldiers in the beacon did not resist at all, and were captured by the Sea Wolf tribe and taken into custody.

When we arrived at the shore, the interrogation began.

In just a moment, the Sea Wolf tribe controlled a large area of ​​​​the beach, clearing all obstacles for subsequent landing personnel. There are also some ships patrolling along the coastline, ready to support landing personnel at any time.

The subsequent landing personnel landed in an orderly manner. The fleet also used large sampans to unload the two cannons and sent them to the shore. They were dragged by the manpower of the Sea Wolf Department. After forming a team, they quickly headed towards

Go to the city where thousands of households live in Jinmen.

The number of Seawolf landing personnel is not large, only about 300 people, that is, an infantry company of Seawolf plus an artillery platoon, but this kind of force is still far more than the official army stationed in Qianhusuo City, Kinmen.

troops.

When he saw the Sea Wolf starting to land and heading towards the Qianhusuo City in Kinmen, the patrolman in charge was so frightened that he quickly summoned the officers and soldiers in the city and the young men to garrison in the city, preparing to resist the attacks of the Sea Wolf tribe.

attack.

But before their arrangements were completed, two large Western-style plywood boats of Sea Wolf had already sailed to the shore of Kinmen Qianhusuo City, and two other large fortune boats also sailed to Kinmen Qianhusuo City together.

The gun doors on the ship's side opened with a bang, and the muzzles of the cannons were pushed to the gun doors, pointing at the Qianhusuo City of Kinmen.

As the gateway to Haicheng, Kinmen Qianhusuo City is considered a strategic military base, and the government also attaches great importance to it. One of the Hongyi cannons recently purchased by the government was also sent to Kinmen Qianhusuo.

Moreover, this Hongyi cannon is considered a heavy cannon, roughly the concept of an 18-pound cannon. The cannon body is very heavy, weighing about three thousand kilograms. It is a cast iron cannon.

But the problem is that this cannon has only been transported to Kinmen Qianhusuo City for a few days. It was only two days before Sea Wolf came here that it was hoisted to the fort on the city wall.

Now the training of this gun has not been completed at all, and the gunner has not had time to test the gun. Sea Wolf has rushed to Kinmen Island. Seeing so many Sea Wolf ships, and even two large Western-style plywood boats, the garrison here has long been

Frightened, even though the patrol inspector shouted for his officers and soldiers to prepare to fire, the officers and soldiers were all intimidated, but no one dared to touch the Hongyi cannon.

Because everyone has seen that the big ships that Sea Wolf has arrived at the shore are equipped with many cannons. The only one they can use is the red barbarian cannon. The remaining cannons are the largest two bronze cannons.

The gun, speaking of it, the copper-haired gun is not small, but its range is limited and its power is not great. What is left are a few dilapidated prisoner-killing cannons. Compared with the Sea Wolf fleet, their firepower is really too weak.

.

If they usually scare a small group of pirates, their cannons can still be of some use, but if they want to fight with sea wolves, they have no confidence at all.

The men and horses that Sea Wolf landed quickly advanced to about three or four miles outside Kinmen Senhushuo City. They temporarily stopped advancing and began to rest on the spot. However, they sent one person and rushed to the south gate of Qianhushuo City.

, standing outside the city gate and holding a big trumpet facing the city.

Ba shouted loudly: "The people inside have listened. We are sea wolves. Come and take this place now. You have to wait within two quarters of an hour to decide whether to fight or surrender. After two quarters of an hour, if you don't open the city and surrender,

If so, we will start to attack, and when the time comes, we will enter the city and kill you and others without leaving any chickens or dogs behind!

As long as you surrender, we can guarantee that no one will be killed, and your property will be protected. Sea Wolf will do what he says! Don’t hesitate, surrender quickly! We will only wait for you for two quarters of an hour, we will not wait until you are too late!"

As soon as the words fell, the Sea Wolf tribe turned around and left without hesitation. They didn't even have time to respond to the officers and soldiers stationed in the city, and ran back to the main formation of the Sea Wolf landing force.

The inspector on the city was livid at this time. He was scared on one side and angry on the other. He felt that although the Sea Wolf was powerful, it was too arrogant and actually allowed them to open the city and surrender within two quarters of an hour. This was simply impossible.

Accept it! After all, they represent officials, and Sea Wolf is a thief. How can an official surrender to a thief so easily?

But what can we do if we don't surrender? He just sent a few people to escape to the shore in a small boat, and ordered them to quickly go to Tong'an County on land to ask for reinforcements. He also reported to Yuegang and asked his colleagues over there to send help.

.

But soon he heard several cannon shots on the sea southwest of Senhusho City. Someone with sharp eyes immediately pointed at the sea and shouted: "Sir! The sea wolf sank the ship we sent out.

!”

Everyone looked intently, and sure enough, several clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the sea. The small boat that quickly escaped from Kinmen Island had capsized in the sea water. It seemed that the people on the boat had little chance of survival.

Looking at the entire area around Kinmen Island, it has been blocked by various ships of Sea Wolf at this time. Sea Wolf ships also appeared at the west pier of Kinmen Island, and several Sea Wolf ships began to connect there.

The gunfire started.

On the pier of Kinmen Island, there were three small and medium-sized government and military warships parked, as well as a dozen fishing boats and two merchant ships, and Sea Wolf was shelling these ships.

Some of the ships on the pier wanted to pull up anchors and sails to escape, but before they could leave the pier, they were shot one after another and had to anchor again and hoist the white flag. The ships docked at the pier did not dare to move rashly.

He had no choice but to be taken over by someone sent by Sea Wolf.

At this time, Kinmen Island has been completely blocked by the Sea Wolf fleet and has become an isolated island. It is basically impossible to get support from reinforcements, because after the end of the Nanri Island War, the entire Fujian can now

There are not many officers and soldiers who have come out, and the Kinmen Station, Zhongzuo Station, Gaopu Station, Fuquan Station, and even Yongning Guard and Chongwu Station around Weitou Bay do not have many garrisons now.

The garrison, taken together, would probably not exceed 2,000 people.

Therefore, self-protection everywhere is not enough, and coupled with the lack of warships, there is no possibility to rescue Kinmen.
