Chapter 890： disembark

   Six of the eight pirates died, and two more were badly wounded and thrown on deck by the soldiers.

Qi Haoran grabbed the guard and asked the third question, knowing that Fan Zijin was surrounded by pirates on the island at this time, he was not in a hurry for a moment.

found someone, and the battlefield was on land again, what else could he worry about?

Qi Haoran instantly returned to the combat state, and took several generals of Zhou Zhou into the cabin to agree on a rescue strategy.

Mu Yangling stood on the deck looking at the muskets of several pirates, and the hand holding the bow couldn't help but tighten.

This is another difference from her previous life. She is a military academy student. She naturally knows that not only gunpowder was invented in China, but muskets were also invented in China.

The first musket was just a bamboo tube filled with gunpowder tied to the gun and fired. It was very popular at the beginning of its invention, but the bamboo tube was not durable, and it took time to fill the gunpowder. It was not as fast as a sword, and was gradually abandoned.

The musket was invented in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the market economy developed very well. The Silk Road, whether by land or sea, was very prosperous. Therefore, the musket quickly spread to Europe. Compared with China, Europe preferred musket, so they quickly To catch up with the East, not only muskets, but also cannons are first-class.

In this life, history turned a corner with Emperor Sejong, so the maritime trade came to an abrupt end after experiencing extreme prosperity, and the pace of East-West exchanges also stopped. I did not expect that their artillery and muskets were still developing so fast. According to In terms of the time axis, this time happened to be the period when the Southern Song Dynasty muskets were spread.

Mu Yangling knew that Emperor Sejong had made a musket. Although it was not very successful, it could only be fired three times at a time, but it was also very good. Unfortunately, the musket remained silent after a period of fiery popularity in China.

At this time, seeing this musket, Mu Yangling was worried about the weapons reserves of the pirates on the island. If it was just muskets, they would have divided their troops to resist, and they would definitely succeed with their great talent, but if there were still cannons...

Mu Yangling became worried.

At this time, the third guard was also saying to the prince: "They have artillery, but the power of the artillery is not very good, so the sound is loud, it can blast off some rocks and soil, and the accuracy is not enough, the subordinates think that they should not have many artillery shells. Well, when we first met, they could hit us three times a day, but in these two days, they hit us once in total."

"That doesn't rule out that they have inventory," Qi Haoran knocked on the table, looked at the cannons on the boat outside, and asked, "How about we use those two cannons to deal with them?"

"My lord, that cannon is heavy and difficult to carry."

They don't have a car, but if they have a car, unless they are armed in advance, they will suddenly run away with a cannon. Isn't that just looking for bombardment?

Qi Haoran said indifferently: "Don't worry about this, this king has his own way. They have 5,000 people and cannons, and we only have 2,000, so we must use a cannon."

If it was his elite troops who came to destroy 5,000 pirates with 2,000, he wouldn't be afraid even if he had artillery, but these sea divisions were beaten so badly by the pirates, he really didn't have much confidence in them, so the only solution was to put one The gun moved up to attract the pirate's attention, and he snuck up with the soldiers of the other ship.

Qi Haoran quickly made a plan. He called Mu Yangling and said, "A-Ling, you brought a boatload of people and cannons ashore from the southwest bank and set up the cannons here." Qi Haoran just painted on the island I clicked a spot on the map that came out and said: "Let the foreigners shoot at the foreigners, I don't ask for much lethality, but the cannonballs must hit them near them to attract their full attention. People landed from the South Bank, and we made dumplings for him."

"Their muskets don't have a short range, so be careful."

Qi Haoran said: "Don't worry, I will rush forward after they finish a round, so that they have no time to change the gunpowder. I asked them, they can only fire a gun five times at a time, so can it consume them? The gunpowder is up to you, this time we have a quick solution." Qi Haoran said distressedly: "The guard said that the mountain has already run out of food."

Mu Yangling was also worried, got up and said, "Take Zhou Zhou with me and let him lead the army."

"Well, I'll leave you all the guards. After you bring the artillery to the place, you take them to see Zijin first."

The eight guards who followed Qi Haoran were all outstanding, and it was more than enough to form an assault team with Mu Yangling.

The eight guards silently brought dry food and water after hearing the words. The prince asked them to go up the mountain ahead of time because they were worried that the grandfather would not eat. As subordinates, they should be considerate.

Mu Yangling and eight guards pressed three foreigners and boarded another boat in a small boat. The two boats went on both sides. Mu Yangling and the others arrived at the southwest bank first. The pirates on the island saw the big boat wow early. Yelling, gesturing for them to stop.

The foreigner stood beside Mu Yangling and said in unskilled Chinese, "They are asking who you are."

Mu Yangling raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell them that we are passing merchants and want to go ashore to supply supplies."

A soldier handed the flag to him, and the foreigner could only take it silently, using a set of flags, the other party responded quickly, the foreigner said: "They don't welcome us and want us to leave immediately."

"It seems that they are not capable, otherwise the pirate den will refuse the merchant ships that dock?"

The foreigner was silent, thinking, that is because they are acquaintances with this ship, and the other party is suspicious, okay?

Who knew that the foreigners were only thinking about it, Mu Yangling glanced at him sideways, and said with a half-smile: "Or do they know this ship and the cannons on it?"

The foreigner's heart skipped a beat. Although his face did not change his face, he was really worried. The prince of Daqi arrested them on the charge of colluding with pirates. If...

Will Daqi misunderstand the arrest of Duke Ango on him? You know, he and An Guogong had a very unpleasant quarrel before.

The foreigners were a little anxious. When the previous emperor was on the throne, he had never encountered such a problem in doing business in a big eastern country. The new ruler was really unfriendly.

The ship was gradually approaching the coast, and the pirates on the shore were not only warning them with words, but raised their muskets to threaten the ship, but the ship was not within their range, and they didn't want to make things too stiff, so Don't make a move.

Mu Yangling did not wait for the boat to stop, and ordered: "Archery."

The archers who were squatting on the side immediately stood up and shot arrows on the shore in unison. When some pirates saw that the situation was not good, they turned around and ran to the island.

Mu Yangling took a bow and shot arrows and shot all those people to death. The foreigner standing next to her was immune to her cruelty. Although her face was still ugly, she would not tremble any more.

The big boat stopped, Zhou Zhou ordered: "Go ashore!"
