I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97
Giving gifts to the savage tribe, but being rejected, made Mao Pijiang very uncomfortable.

Useless is a scholar.

Others are making great achievements, but I finally escaped from the warm embrace of Hakka Baba and came to this remote Kuwu Island, how could I not be as good as a musketeer?

After returning to Black Dragon City, Mr. Mao was unhappy.

"Why, it doesn't seem to be going well?" Cao Wenzhao asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "The leaders of the savage tribe don't like our gift?"

"I don't know." Mao Pijiang sighed and said, "I didn't even enter the gate of the village."

"Haha, it's right if you don't go in. If you go in, you probably won't be able to come back." Cao Wenzhao sat in front of the large pine table, eating meat and drinking, looking very comfortable, which made Mao Pijiang very uncomfortable. Comfortable.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty were too ugly to eat.

"Master Hou, since there is nothing else to do, I'll go back first." Mao Pijiang turned around and wanted to go back to his wooden house, but Cao Wenzhao stayed behind with a smile.

"Come, come, come, accompany me to explain the truth in the sage's book," Cao Wenzhao poured a bowl of strong wine for Mao Bijiang and pushed it over, "Come, drink and eat meat, and wait for relatives."

"Waiting for relatives?" Mao Bijiang asked in astonishment: "Is it those savage tribes who are coming to attack Black Dragon City?"

"No, it should be Jiannu." Cao Wenzhao said.

"Originally, the savage tribe might come to attack Black Dragon City, but the situation has changed. This time, it should be Jiannu."

Mao Pijiang was full of doubts, he felt that he had read all the books these years into his stomach, and obviously everyone was together, so how could his thoughts be different from those of these people?
Seeming to see the doubts of Mao Bijiang, Cao Wenzhao explained with a smile: "Captain Du Pingping sent news that Emperor Jiannu sent an iron cavalry to station on Kuwu Island a few days ago to stabilize his rear. Responsible for forcibly recruiting cavalry warriors in the wildling tribe.

Calculated according to the time, that cavalry should have arrived at the Savage Tribe in the past two days.

If the patriarch of the savage tribe had brains, he would have thought of borrowing a knife to kill people and giving the map of our Black Dragon City to Niu Lu Ezhen, who built slaves.

At that time, we can only be heroes to save the beauty. "

Mao Pijiang shook his head and smiled wryly, but in the end he still didn't figure out what it means for a hero to save the beauty...

……

This wait is six days.

For six days, Mao Bijiang put aside his "freshwater fish breeding project" and lived and ate at Cao Wenzhao's "Hou Ye Mansion" as his temporary staff.

Cao Wenzhao intends to cultivate this young master of the Ming Dynasty, and no longer deliberately conceals some military secrets.

Mao Pijiang gradually entered the state, and fell in love with the method of arranging troops. A copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and a copy of Mao Yuanyi's "Wu Bei Zhi" became must-have books for his desk.

In the early hours of the day, when the people in Black Dragon City were still sleeping, Jiannu cavalry finally arrived.

This cavalry consisted of about 800 men, all with double-layer armor and strong bows and crossbows. For the warriors of the savage tribe, they could completely crush them.

However, when this cavalry looked at Black Dragon City, they were a little confused.

"When did Minggou come to Kuwu Island? This city...can't be built in a year or so?"

On a hillside in the northwest, Niu Lu Ezhen, a member of Jiannu, sat on his horse and scolded in a cold voice: "Those wastes from the wild tribe, have you not found them?"

The white-bearded old patriarch of the savage tribe, and more than a hundred young warriors in the tribe, stood not far away. After hearing Niu Luerzhen's words, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and kept silent...

Just a very dazed and stupid look.

"waste!"

The Jiannu people gave the old patriarch of the savage tribe a contemptuous glance, then ignored these 'savages', and all looked towards the direction of Black Dragon City.

"Niu Luerzhen, this city... is not easy to attack." A slave cavalry muttered in a low voice: "The city wall is too strong, we..."

For the rest, Niu Luer really stared back.

"Minggou has few people, only two arrow towers, find a way to rush over and shoot them to death!" Niu Lu Ezhen pondered for a moment, and said: "Golden cavalry, invincible in the world, a mere Black Dragon City is nothing to worry about!"

"Set camp on the spot and let the savage tribe take the lead!"

"Here!"

The slave cavalry agreed in unison, leaving only a team of less than 50 people, and after yelling at the savage tribes, they rode their horses towards Black Dragon City.

The warriors of the savage tribe looked at their old patriarch one after another.

The old patriarch nodded slightly, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Boys, charge up and break through Black Dragon City!"

Then, the warriors of the No. [-] Savage Tribe screamed strangely, brandished their scimitars and crossbows, and rushed towards the Black Dragon City like a gust of wind.

"What a bunch of savages!"

On the hillside, the Jiannu cavalrymen glanced at the backs of the savage tribe, couldn't help spitting on the ground, and ignored them.

They traveled long distances, and they were exhausted. Now that Niu Luerzhen ordered to camp on the spot, they naturally cheered.

A lonely castle of the Han people looks very strong, but in their eyes, it is a dead place. Seven or eight hundred elite cavalry are stationed nearby, which can scare those bright dogs to death.

What they were most interested in was a Ming warship and dozens of cargo ships moored in the harbor.

All the boats moored quietly on the water, and no one appeared.

"Let the savage tribes attack first, and let the Han people in the city not stand up."

"Those Han people are really stupid. There are no soldiers on board to guard them?" Niu Luerzhen held a long-sighted lens, observed the ships in the harbor for a while, and said with a smile: "Let's eat enough first, and then find a way to snatch their warships!"

"We came so quickly that those Han people didn't notice. The people on board probably went to Black Dragon City to have a drink."

"Haha, look, Minggou's big ship doesn't even have masts or sails. It should be dismantled for repairs, right?"

"God help me too!"

The slave cavalry burst into cheers.

"Quickly bury the pot and make a meal, eat enough to seize the ship!"

"Long live Emperor Shengwu!"

"Long live Emperor Shengwu!"

……

Almost at the same time, Captain Chen Yin was also observing the group of slave cavalry through the long-sighted glasses on the Daming iron-clad battleship.

"Send a signal to Lord Cao and ask when the guns will fire."

"These Jian slaves are really big-hearted. They dare to camp on the spot when they see so many ships moored in the harbor?"

Captain Chen Yin chuckled and muttered.

"It's not that big-hearted. They are used to land battles and don't know much about naval battles." A first officer beside him calculated the angle of the cannon in an orderly manner through the long-sighted mirror fixed on the console, and said with a smile:

"If it was a Japanese, they probably would have fled long ago."

Chen Yin nodded and smiled, "Then let them learn a lot."

"Speak to the captain, there is a signal from Black Dragon City, let's shoot those slave cavalrymen!"

"Savage tribe, don't attack for now, Lord Hou said it will be of great use!"

Captain Chen Yin heard the words, and said calmly: "Okay, report back to Lord Cao, just say that Chen Yin received it."

On the watchtower, the semaphore soldiers announced the captain's words to the semaphore soldiers in Black Dragon City.

"Attention everyone, prepare to fight!"

Captain Chen Yin held the long-sighted glasses, and his young and stern face showed an unusual calmness: "Three sets of turrets, A, B, and C, load the hollow howitzers!"

"The elevation angle is 59 degrees, and the azimuth is five degrees north-northwest!"

"Three groups of turrets fire at the same time, be sure to achieve full coverage!"
