Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 489

The whistle of the steam-powered battleship of the Ming Dynasty South Sea Fleet accompanied by the roar of the sea wind began to get closer and closer to Zeelandia City, and the sound became more and more heavy and piercing. At this time, the red ghosts who had retreated to Zeelandia City At this time, Governor Lu Yi wanted to cover his ears tightly, so as not to hear the triumphant voice of the Ming Navy who had just occupied Chixian City.

Zeelandia City, like Chikan City and Puwei Minzha City, is one of several important strongholds built by the red-haired ghosts after they occupied southern Taiwan without authorization. Also retreated here.

The red-haired ghost governor, Lu Yi, originally thought that the Ming Empire would rest for a period of time after acquiring Chixian City, or start to attack from the land, or continue to transport large-scale troops to land from Chixian City first, and then sweep it on a large scale.

However, the red-haired ghost Luyi did not expect that Daming's fleet would still attack from the sea, and directly approach the city of Zeelandia, so that Luyi had no time to strengthen defense and ask for reinforcements, so he had to immediately enter the state of preparation for the battle.

The whole body of the black iron-clad battleship, together with the two big chimneys braving the billowing night, the mast of the hull and the roof of the boat are almost as high as the cliffs standing thousands of miles above the sea, but the cliffs will not sway under the waves, and these big Ming However, the battleship swayed with the waves, as if a huge boulder would smash the fort on the cliff at any time.

The city of Zeelandia is surrounded by water on two sides, and it happens to be in a delta area. On the other side, the area facing the sea is a mountainous terrain, but it has formed a cliff under the impact of sea water for many years, so there is a natural barrier on this side.

On the other side is the mouth of an inland river. It is a smooth road with sandy beaches and mangroves, and the defense is relatively weak. Therefore, the red-haired ghost governor Lu Yi has two directions close to the land to prevent the Ming army from attacking from the land. , the center of gravity of its coastal defense is placed at the corners of the two sides.

On the one hand, it is because there are many reefs at this corner. Once the bombardment makes the enemy ships mess up, it will easily cause the enemy ships to hit the rocks and sink; When landing on the shoal opposite the corner, the flanks will be directly exposed to the shore forts, making it easy for the artillery of the shore forts to sink the incoming enemy ship in the best position.

It can be said that this corner is the strongest and best fortress in Zeelandia City. He can defend the whole city very well, which is one of the reasons why the red-haired ghost built the city here.

In fact, in the past few years, Frangji or other pirates also intended to attack the city of Zeelandia, but most of them were because of the excellent position at the corner that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that Frangji or other sea forces could not attack. Had to fail.

Even the Zheng's pirate group that once ruled the sea is the same.

Therefore, after seeing so many Ming warships appearing in the nearby waters, and it was so dark that the entire blue sky was crowded so that there was no room for white clouds to inhabit, the governor of the red-haired ghost, Lv Yi, did not feel completely flustered.

He was just a little puzzled, wondering why these Da Ming fleets would make such a mistake, but he was not in the mood to remind the opposing Da Ming fleet, he confidently gave the order, and when the opponent's Da Ming warship began to turn, the flanks of the ships all Fire immediately when exposed.

At this time, Gu Sanmazi, the commander-in-chief of the fleet who was also standing on the deck and holding a telescope to look at the situation on the other side, smiled slyly and ordered: "Delivery, start to turn, and make a big circle to the northwest, and then Then bypass the forts in this area and head straight for the adjacent shallows to land!"

After Gu Sanmazi gave the order, small flags began to dance on the stage. The red-haired ghost governor Lu Yi couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw this, and thought to himself that the Ming army was about to turn around, so he raised his hand involuntarily , Prepare to wait for the extremely fast flagship of the Ming army to turn around, and immediately order to fire!
At this time, the flagship that Gu Sanmazi was on was indeed riding a huge wave several feet high on the sea, and the bow of the ship suddenly turned around 45 degrees, and the entire ship swayed up and down.

Immediately afterwards, the flagship "Yu Qian" cut a thin and long white line on the blue sea with the fastest horsepower like an arrow from the string, and its side was also exposed to the opposite bank by chance. Under the artillery of the fort.

The other ships also quickly turned around under the guidance of the flagship, drawing a large circle on the sea like the flagship "Yu Qian", as if the originally calm sea was mixed with rough waves and huge waves.

"fire!"

The red-haired ghost governor, Lv Yi, couldn't restrain his inner excitement at all, and immediately waved his hand down. After the order was issued, there was the sound of burning matchlocks, followed by dense artillery fire pouring towards the opposite sea area , Countless cannons moved left and right under the huge recoil, and retreated a few times.

The red-haired ghost governor Lu Yi really wanted to call the commander of the Ming Fleet an idiot, but at the same time, he was also looking forward to the spectacular scene of these giant steel ships being hit hard by him under his nose, but what he didn't expect was that, All he could see was the scene of the shells falling into the sea, causing huge waves.

The red-haired ghost governor Lu Yi did not expect that his new artillery did not hit a Ming warship, and he did not even expect that these Ming warships would go around such a large circle. In such a short period of time, the inner diameter of the circle It has been far greater than the range of its own artillery.

"Hahaha, grandma, these red-haired ghosts are really loyal. They fired cannons for us so quickly, and we haven't occupied the city of Zeelandia yet." Gu Sanmazi couldn't help laughing. Sanmazi knew that he was not good at it, and his marines could not be good at attacking fortresses, so he still adopted the main offensive method after occupying the city of Chikan, occupying the city of Zeelandia by attacking the coastline .

Although Gu Sanmazi said that he was just an ignorant pirate before, but now he is no longer the Wu Xia Amon of the past, but he can also accurately calculate and design tactics. And it just happened to design a tactic that circles around a large circle to avoid artillery fire but can quickly turn a corner and land in a shoal.

"Send the order, immediately change the course to [-] degrees southeast, and cut directly into the opposite coastline. Be sure to land on the beach as quickly as possible. The Marine Corps is ready!"

Not long after Gu Sanmazi said, the hundreds of Ming ships quickly turned around again, tearing apart the smooth sea surface like hundreds of sharp swords falling from the sky, and the rumbling sound became even more intense , like thunder.

"No, they are going to go around and land directly on the beach!"

The red-haired ghost governor Lu Yi suddenly realized this, and his whole face darkened in an instant. Now he can't wait to swallow the commander of the Ming army fleet directly on the opposite side, and he actually bullies himself with the limited range of the artillery here by taking advantage of the speed of his ships. The characteristic directly bypassed the well-designed defense on his own side, and turned directly to the other side.

Lv Yi knew that once these Ming troops were allowed to go around the corner, they would encounter only a shallow shoal, and there was almost no danger to defend there, so the governor, Lv Yi, immediately led the army and ran towards this side without thinking. Come.

But in fact, after the red-haired ghost governor Lu Yi reacted at this time, the marines of the Daming South Sea Fleet had already succeeded in grabbing the beach, and had already reached the coast several hundred steps inland. In addition, other navies also landed one after another. .

Naturally, although it is said that there is no danger here, there are actually several forts and forts, but because there is no danger in this area, it is easy for the marines to cut in and break through.

By the time Governor Lu Yi arrived, almost all the forts and fortresses here had already been occupied by the Ming Marine Corps.

Seeing this, the governor, Lu Yi, had no choice but to retreat to Zelan's thief city, but Lu Yi was also a commander who was only used to fighting at sea, so he didn't know how to defend the city, or to what extent.

At this time, Governor Lu Yi could only stay in Zeelandia City and was already in a hurry, but the army of Daming had already landed completely, and began to form a siege to Zeelandia City one after another.

However, the navy of the Ming South Sea Fleet did not rush to launch the attack on Zeelandia City, but was waiting for news from Chixian City, because before considering the recovery of Wanwan Island in the future, this important and not small area Therefore, according to Zhu Youxiao's instructions, the Ministry of War transferred an infantry army and a cavalry army of the imperial guards to achieve the purpose of assisting the navy to unify the entire Taiwan.

In fact, the advancing speed of the Imperial Guards on land was not slow. When the main force of the Ming Fleet was about to successfully land on the beach, the cavalry of the Imperial Guards had overcome the seasickness on board and quickly penetrated to the vicinity of Zeelandia City. .

At this time, in order to better defend the city of Zeelandia, the governor of the red-haired ghost, Luyi, had already dropped all the armed forces of the red-haired ghosts in the outer defense back to the city of Zeelandia, so that the cavalry of the imperial guards could quickly attack the city. And it successfully surrounded the city of Zeelandia.

The artillery for the siege began to be transported over one after another, and the accompanying flying battalion also began to fly over the city of Zeelandia with gliders, single-man aircraft and hot air balloons, but due to the strong wind No gas bombs were dropped directly.

However, the bombing was inevitable. When a shell fell, it completely knocked out the top of a church on the opposite side, and the red-haired ghost governor Lv Yi, who was almost hit by the bomb, was almost frightened to death.

At this time, the red-haired ghost Luyi was also very surprised. He didn't expect that this Great Ming was already so powerful. Not only did he have iron-clad battleships, but he could also let troops fly around the world. Attack point of attack.

Therefore, the red-haired ghost Luyi took the initiative to hang up the white flag before Daming sent envoys to negotiate, asking for surrender.

This made Gu Sanmazi quite surprised, they didn't expect these red-haired ghosts to surrender so quickly, which made the Ming army waste this march in vain.

But what the red-haired ghost governor Lu Yi didn't expect was that even though he had handed in the job application materials, he would still be dismissed directly, and even stepped on.
Seeing this, Gu Sanmazi was also in a bad mood, so he simply ordered all the troops to attack the city directly, and after the attack, they would directly kill these red-haired ghosts without leaving a single one alive.

Because according to the latest regulations, the enemy who occupied the territory of Ming Dynasty without authorization cannot be easily retained. Therefore, when Gu Sanmazi asked Luyi to donate the city of Zeelandia in order to surrender, Gu Sanmazi refused the surrender of others, and said The bloody revenge began immediately.

The red-haired ghost governor, Lu Yi, would not have thought that the Eastern Civilization Empire would suddenly become so vicious, but when he saw these people piercing sharp spears into the chests of people like himself who had no will to fight, his heart was already in his heart. It was painful.

Gu Sanmazi ordered the recruits to follow the former veterans, and each recruit must kill a red-haired ghost, and use this to train his courage.

For this reason, in Zeelandia City at this moment, it is easy to see countless red-haired ghosts kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy from the Ming soldiers standing in front of them, or some red-haired ghosts being chased by the Ming soldiers are running around.

And the soldiers of Daming had already turned into demons, and they would hunt and kill them without hesitation, just like they hunted and killed the Gaoshan tribe when they first came here.

"Anyone who occupies half an inch of my Great Ming must not stay. Although all the red-haired ghosts in Zeelandia City have been killed, there is no guarantee that there will be no such red-haired ghosts hidden in the surrounding forests and mountains. Hairy ghost, so from now on you still can't give up, and you must always be ready to clear up immediately."

Gu Sanmazi kicked down a rather tall red-haired ghost, then slashed and killed him with a sword, and stepped on this person, giving his order very vigorously.

At this time, Governor Luyi was also escorted in front of Gu Sanmazi. When Gu Sanmazi saw the governor, he patted his fat face with the command knife in his hand with great interest, and asked :
"Grandma, who made you dare to offend my Da Ming's territory? Not only that, but also tortured and killed the local people of Da Ming here. If this is the case, don't you people think about leaving here alive today!"

As Gu Sanmazi was speaking, he suddenly stabbed the governor Luyi's left abdomen with a knife, and twisted it a few times. The painful Luyi screamed out, dripping with blood, but who knew that at this time, Gu Sanmazi came back again. Suddenly he drew out the knife and penetrated into the right abdomen of Governor Lv Yi.

Then came the chest again. Within a long time, the red-haired ghost Luyi had been stabbed so many times. Anyway, he was riddled with holes and completely dead.

"Pass down the order, continue to search and suppress, don't let anyone who dares to stay on this island who is not my race, if you encounter it, you will kill it!"

After Gu Sanmazi said that, he wiped off the blood on the command knife with the hem of his clothes and went directly into the city of Zeelandia. At this time, the city of Zeelandia was almost full of red-haired ghosts who were being chased and killed by Ming soldiers. The scene of fleeing.

The red-haired ghosts who colonized the world would never have imagined that there would be such a day of retaliation, and the root cause of all this was that they provoked Ming.
