Daming pirates

The inspector was sweating on his forehead in a hurry, but he couldn't come up with an idea. He knew very well that although Kinmen Island was not too small, there were very few residents on the island. Apart from the military households on the island, there were only two

In the fishing village, even if all the young men were gathered into Kinmen City, there would not be more than 700 people. These people usually have no training at all, and there are only a hundred people with combat effectiveness.

Looking at the Sea Wolf fleet, there are dozens of large ships with at least two to three thousand people, and more than 300 elite soldiers were unloaded on the shore. Even if the Kinmen Institute tried its best, it could not withstand their attack.

Time passed by, and everyone in the city looked ashen. They did not dare to surrender easily, but they did not dare to fight, because they were not fools. They knew that this time the army was going to suppress the Sea Wolf.

, which can be regarded as completely irritating Hailang. This time Hailang made it clear that he wanted to retaliate against the government.

And their Kinmen Station is the first to be captured by the opponent. If they don't surrender, can they hold on to the acropolis? Obviously no one has such confidence.

Even if they repelled one or two attacks from the Sea Wolf, how long could they last? Look at the Sea Wolf gunboats staring at them at sea. They couldn't muster up the courage to fight the Sea Wolf to the end.

If the sea wolf is provoked again, there is no guarantee that the city will be broken. The sea wolf will really kill everyone in the city. Not many people have doubts about this.

Therefore, the people in the entire Jinmen Qianhusuo City were already timid before fighting, and their morale was not to mention completely dropped.

At this time, even the officers and soldiers of those cannons did not dare to operate their cannons easily or make any movement of resistance.

Two quarters of an hour is half an hour. During this half hour, Seawolf unloaded several long ladders to the shore. These long ladders are all modular and scattered on the ship. After being unloaded on the shore,

Using thick iron bolts, they can be quickly assembled to form a siege ladder. It is obvious that Sea Wolf is determined to capture this Golden Gate.

As the deadline approached, the inspector sweated more on his forehead and anxiously walked around the city. Finally, he made up his mind and sent a trusted subordinate to lower him to the city with a rope and ordered him to

He went to Sea Wolf to negotiate.

The requirements for this inspection were not high. After sending his men to find Liu Tong who led his troops to land, they told Liu Tong that they had no intention of becoming an enemy of Sea Wolf. If Sea Wolf needed it, they could just keep the acropolis and the island.

All other places are under the control of Hailang, and the city can provide Hailang with a batch of wine and meat, and five hundred taels of silver. All he wants is that Hailang lets go of Kinmensuo City and does not occupy Kinmensuo City.

However, such a request was categorically rejected by Liu Tong, telling the officers and soldiers who came out to negotiate that what the Sea Wolf wanted was the entire Kinmen Island, including the Qianhusuo City. This condition was non-negotiable, and the Sea Wolf wanted them

They are not interested in the conditions proposed. As long as the people in the city surrender and follow Sea Wolf's instructions, they can ensure the safety of everyone and never kill indiscriminately. At the same time, they also promise not to rob the private property of the people in the city, including the property of the patrolman.

, will be protected.

Now that the time was coming, Liu Tong ordered the officers and soldiers who came out to return to the city and immediately told the patrol inspector to surrender immediately, otherwise they would immediately launch an artillery attack on Qianhusuo City.

The negotiators had no choice but to run back to the city in disgrace. The defenders on the city used ropes to pull them up to the city wall, and told the inspector what Liu Tong said again.

The inspector was so angry! Although he had a humble official position, he was still an official of the Ming Dynasty. Now that Qianhu is not on the island, even if he is the eldest, he has the responsibility of guarding the land. Once the thieves are surrendered, he will be

There is no way to hide anymore. Once the bandit soldiers retreat one day, even if he survives, he will be held accountable by the top of the mountain. At that time, he may lose his head, or at worst, he may be executed by his entire family.

Therefore, the patrolman thought about it and did not dare to make up his mind to surrender. But while he was still hesitating, the time limit set by Sea Wolf had arrived.

I saw a few sea wolf ships on the sea. Suddenly, one after another, they began to spit out streams of flames. In an instant, clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the sea, and various shells roared and flew towards the city of Kinmen.

come over.

The people on the city screamed in surprise and ran around to avoid the cannons. It suddenly became a mess. Many soldiers were so frightened that they dropped their weapons on the spot, turned around and fled down the city wall.

Looking at the entire sea of ​​China, even the Dutch and Portuguese, the firepower of the Seawolf fleet may not be able to exceed the firepower of the Seawolf fleet. Moreover, this time there were two large Western-style plywood ships participating in the battle, and several ships opened fire at the same time.

, a total of more than twenty artillery pieces weighing more than 12 pounds opened fire.

Although the cannonballs were all solid bullets and not too powerful, their sound was very scary. The cannonballs roared and scattered in the Kinmensuo City, stirring up patches of dust and gravel inside and outside the city.

The cannonballs that fell into the city destroyed many houses and caused bricks and stones to fly randomly inside and outside Kinmen City.

The patrolman screamed in panic to hold on, and ordered the officers and soldiers on the city to fire back. However, these officers and soldiers were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak, and they were trembling in the city and began to load the cannons on the Sea Wolf's ship.

It wasn't until the team fired three volleys that they finally loaded the cannon.

Several cannons on the city also roared at this time. After a few loud noises, the cannonballs flew out of the barrel and hit the sea. However, their accuracy made all the officers and soldiers feel discouraged, because after these cannonballs were fired,

They did not hit any Sea Wolf ships, and the cannonballs did not even land close to the Sea Wolf ships. Instead, they landed on the water far away from the Sea Wolf ships, only stirring up a few clouds of sea water.

The counterattack in Kinmen Castle immediately angered the sea wolf even more. The firepower of several bombardment ships became more fierce. Instead of retreating, they moved closer to the shore and began to use direct aim.

The city of Kinmen was bombarded with artillery fire.

Kinmen Castle itself was built not far from the seaside, and the south gate was only three to four hundred meters away from the shore, completely within the direct sighting range of the Sea Wolf heavy artillery.

After another round of volleys, several artillery shells accurately hit the south gate tower of the Acropolis. There was only a roar and a large cloud of dust rose up from the south gate tower. The beautiful city gate

The building collapsed on the spot under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Sea Wolf, turning into a masonry ruin.

The patrol officer in charge of the battle in the city was lucky not to be in the city gate tower at the time and was not buried alive on the spot. However, he was frightened half to death at this moment. He even jumped on his feet and yelled, ordering the officers and soldiers.

The artillery fired back, and the officers and gunners hurriedly reloaded the artillery.

When they finally started firing again, something happened. When they were firing the gun, a copper gun suddenly exploded. After a huge bang, there was a scream from the gun position.

The two gunners were even thrown into the air by the blast of air on the spot, and their bodies fell into pieces and fell directly into the city.

Look at the copper gun again. At this time, the entire gun body has been exploded, the muzzle has become a chrysanthemum shape, and the gun emplacement has been shattered into pieces on the spot. The gunners on the emplacement are even more shocked.

Deaths and injuries were immediate, and there was not even a single person left standing.

The sudden explosion of the cannon plunged the already demoralized officers and soldiers into complete chaos. It frightened the gunners of several other cannons and did not dare to load any more cannons at this time, including the red gun that rushed into battle.

Yi Dapao also became completely mute.

The sea wolf's naval gun bombardment did not last very long. Under Yu Xiaotian's order, it stopped firing, and the sea wolf marines who had landed on the shore and were waiting for success, under the leadership of Liu Tong, fired in unison.

With a loud shout, they quickly formed a team and headed towards the Acropolis.

For this group of sea wolves that landed, Yu Xiaotian specially equipped them with an infantry platoon that all used Wolf fang rifles. They were equipped with fifty Wolf fang rifled rifles. These people approached about a hundred steps below the city wall.

Then they stopped advancing, lined up in a horizontal formation, picked up their Wolf fang rifles, and pointed them at the city wall.

There were still a small number of officers and soldiers on the city wall. They stretched out their heads under the order of the inspection, as if they were going to resist. They even took out two squatting tiger cannons, set them up on the battlements, and aimed them at the bottom of the city, preparing to stop the sea.

The wolves attacked the city.

At this time, the artillery platoon of the Sea Wolf that landed also dragged two twelve-pound mountain howitzers to the city wall, and immediately began to build a simple artillery position about 150 meters below the city.

The two-pound mountain howitzer was set up on the position and the loading was completed.

The two cannons raised their muzzles and aimed them at the city wall. They happened to be aiming at the location of the two official tiger crouching cannons on the city. After a while, they began to fire.

The two cannons only fired two shots each. Looking at the two squatting cannons on the city wall, they had already disappeared, including the crenels where they were located. They were also blown down at this time, and the two small cannons were blown away.

Once inside the city, several officers, soldiers and artillerymen were killed on the spot.

After hearing a sharp roar from Sea Wolf's officer, the row of musketeers holding Wolf fang rifles started firing volleys. Several officers and soldiers who were still poking their heads in the city to resist began to doubt whether Sea Wolf was

When he was sick, he was a hundred steps away and started firing cannons.

But when blood arrows spurted out from their bodies, they realized that the sea wolf's musket could actually kill people from a hundred steps away, but by now it was already too late.

About six or seven officers and soldiers who still tried to resist were shot dead on the city wall by Sea Wolf's muskets on the spot. Their heads were either blown off on the spot, or they were shot in the chest and abdomen. Basically, they would die in the encounter, and there was no way to escape.

At this time, the entire city wall seemed to have been swept away. The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their heads. The remaining Sea Wolf tribe immediately carried several long ladders and rushed towards the city wall with a roar.

(Today, I would like to express my special thanks to my friend Hai Jue for the reward! I won’t say anything else, just write it well and be worthy of the love of my brothers!)
