Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 226 Fleet Assembly ([-])

"Boss, we are surrounded!"

"Idiot, I don't need you to tell me!"

The pirate leader led more than 200 remnants of soldiers trapped in the stronghold, looking anxiously at the situation around him.

Outside the small village, the navy and guards of the Liao army surged, trapping them to death.Moreover, the Liao army did not plan to attack immediately, but instead deployed manpower to make the encirclement more solid, so that no pirate could have a chance to escape.

"Didn't our warship succeed in the sneak attack? Why have all the soldiers on their ship come ashore and haven't seen our people yet? This is different from the planned plan." The pirate leader said anxiously.

"Could it be that our fleet was defeated and fled?" a pirate speculated.

"How is it possible! Our ship has artillery bought from the West, and it is a fleet of more than 50 ships led by Mr. Zheng Zhihu himself. According to Che Jingde, they only have three or four warships with artillery. As long as we Our fleet is approaching for a boarding battle, we will definitely win!" The pirate leader still did not believe that the fleet brought by Zheng Zhihu was repelled.

A fleet of more than 50 ships, although most of them have no artillery or only very small ones, but Zheng Zhihu's ship has [-] artillery pieces bought from the West, and other ships are scattered Artillery, as long as they get close to the ships of the Liao Army in the sea fog, the pirate ships with a large number of people will definitely have the advantage.

"Boss, look at the ships moored at the port, aren't they the ships of the Liao Army? There are more than ten ships, and they are not small in size. Except for the supply ships, the ships equipped with artillery are not just as the guy Che Jingde said. Less?" The sharp-eyed pirate pointed to the ships of the Liao Army that were blocked off the coast.

"Could it be that kid Che Jingde lied to us? Damn, he was killed by Chu Yun again, and it's impossible to ask him for questioning."

While the pirates were chattering about their own fleet that disappeared inexplicably, the navy soldiers transported several cannons on the ship to the front of the stronghold.At this time, the rain almost disappeared, but it was a little wet, but it did not have a great impact on the shelling on land.

"Push our British cannon closer!" Chu Yun fiercely commanded the soldiers to push the cannon as close as possible, so that the shells could fall on the top of any pirate.

"Several of you teams, wait for the artillery to destroy their defense line, and then follow me to attack." Nelson said to several subordinates.

The navy of this era is not just about water warfare, even land warfare is not inferior, because they often have to go through battles on board or suppress the aborigines in the colonies.

"Fire the gun!"

boom!There were several thunderclaps on the flat bottom, white smoke rolled, and the heavy cannon trembled backwards due to the terrible recoil, causing the muddy ground to sink slightly!At the same time, the iron ball roared and fell into the stronghold held by the pirates!

"Ah!!" The heavy iron ball smashed the left body of a pirate, and then bounced on the ground, killing the pirates in the stronghold without losing momentum.

The poor pirate was smashed to the ground, the left half of his body was bloody and bloody, he definitely couldn't survive, he was just groaning in vain.

What is even more frightening is that the shells are still continuing, destroying the simple stone walls originally built by the Miyakojima garrison.

"Boss, it's too bad, we didn't bring artillery to the island, and if this continues, all our brothers will be here!" A pirate looked at the constantly weakened troops and said painfully.

"The Liao army has launched an attack!" A pirate shouted.

Sure enough, after another round of artillery, Nelson attacked the stronghold with a force.

"Grass." The pirate leader said unwillingly, "Pull up the white flag to surrender!"

From the outside position, Chu Yun saw a flag with a white cloth hanging crookedly in the stronghold.

Fucked, I thought it would be fine if I surrendered?
"The order goes on, surrender is not accepted in this battle!" Chu Yun said.

"The military lord has ordered that surrender will not be accepted in this battle!"

The guard shouted hastily.

Nelson, who had already broken through the pirates' defense, heard what Chu Yun said, and it was exactly what he wanted. He was so angry that he didn't want to let the pirates go easily.The two sides have reached a dead end, even if they kill them, they themselves have failed and deserved it.

The elite naval soldiers held muskets along the gap created by the artillery bombardment, opened the way with shooting, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.These naval soldiers, who also felt the fire, put in all their strength and slaughtered the pirates in the stronghold one by one.

"We surrender, surrender." The pirate leader wanted to cry, but this time he made himself miserable.

However, the cruel naval soldiers ignored them, and the bayonet phalanx moved forward indomitably, stabbing the inside of the stronghold full of holes.

Some unbearable pirates hurriedly escaped from the stronghold, but the guards were already waiting outside, aiming empty guns at them.

"Fire!" Chu Yun's command knife pointed at the pirates who were frightened by the guns.

Bang bang bang!Sparks from the muzzle of the musket flew everywhere, and the bullets shot into the pirate's body, making him crumble.

In less than half an hour, the attack on the pirate stronghold came to an end. All the pirates in the stronghold were wiped out, without a single prisoner, and corpses were strewn all over the place.

"Master, we found the soldiers who were originally stationed on this island, and they were imprisoned." A navy soldier said to Chu Yun.

"Didn't the defenders rebel? Are there still honest people?" Chu Yun wondered.

In the stronghold, a group of soldiers were indeed detained in several houses. These soldiers were covered with cuts and bruises, their faces were yellow and emaciated, and they must have been abused for a long time.

"Who are you?" The detained soldiers still asked worriedly when they heard the sound of gunfire stopped, and then a group of people released them.

"We are from the Ministry of the Navy. We came from southern Liaoning, and this is the leader of our Liao army." The guard said.

"Army... Army Lord?" These soldiers were shocked at first, and then burst into tears, "It turned out that the Army Lord saved us!"

"Don't worry, tell the story slowly." Chu Yun wanted to know what happened on Miyako Island.

"Oh, it's a long story..."

Through these dozens of detained soldiers, Chu Yun understood the cause and effect of the incident.It turned out that as early as three months ago, Che Jingde, who was stationed on Miyakojima, had hooked up with Shibazhi, and launched a mutiny a month ago, imprisoning the one of the two hundred defenders who did not follow him. Then Miyako Island was turned into Shibazhi's territory.Three days ago, Che Jingde learned that Chu Yun was going to lead the fleet over, so he and the pirates hastily planned the attack.

Originally, this strategy could have killed Chu Yun, but it is a pity that Che Jingde's understanding of the navy of the Liao army was still before he arrived at Miyako Island, and he believed that the Liao army could only use three or four warships.This negligence gave Chu Yun and the others a chance to fight back.

"It turned out to be a trap personally planned by Zheng Zhihu from Shiba Zhi. It's really a big hand." Chu Yun tutted.

"Master, I heard from them that the main force of Zheng Zhihu's fleet is on Ishigaki Island."
