Chapter 356 Winning Fushan City is a good New Year's Eve!
Chapter 356: "It's better to take Fushan City to celebrate the New Year!"
"It's really coming in a fierce way!"
Zhang Zhun raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and carefully observed the movements of the enemy.
On the sea and sky outside Mawan, ten warships slowly appeared. They lined up in a row, with a spectacular momentum. The Cangshan ship used for reconnaissance in front of them was like a toy for children compared to these pirate warships.
Chen Lingfei also held the Qianli Mirror and frowned and said, "It seems to be Yang Tiansheng's ship."
Zhang Zhun nodded slowly.
Indeed, judging from the flag on the mast, it was indeed Yang Tiansheng's warship. It seems that Zheng Zhilong did not come forward in person this time, but entrusted Yang Tiansheng to deal with this matter. Of course, it is also possible that Yang Tiansheng actively asked to deal with this matter. After all, the man named Hei Tietou last time left with regret. Now that he has the opportunity to avenge himself, Yang Tiansheng should not let it go. These pirate leaders are basically vengeful people!
"It's Sun Ronglu again."
"It's the black iron head last time."
Chen Lingfei observed for a while, then frowned and said.
When the enemy ships got closer, she captured more information. She walked in Jiangnan all year round and frequently engaged in maritime trade. She was still very familiar with the pirates' flags. Zheng Zhilong, Yang Tiansheng, and Yan Siqi's generals, such as Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, etc., all have their own flags, which are the same as the flags on land. Anyone who is familiar with pirates can tell them.
"It's him."
Zhang Zhun frowned quietly.
He also discovered that on the No. 2 Fu Ship in Dangtou, under Yang Tiansheng's flag, there was a relatively unique pennant. You could vaguely see a big character "Sun" on it. Last time when Hei Tietou arrived at the sea near Fushan City, there was also a pennant like this, which was also the character "Sun". It seems that Sun Ronglu, who is nicknamed "Hei Tietou", came back to seek revenge. After a few months, he still couldn't forget himself!
Hei Tietou brought a total of two No. 2 lucky ships, three No. 3 lucky ships, and five Haicang ships. They all belong to the standard armed merchant ship series. Through the Qianli Mile Mile, Zhang Zhun could see that these ten warships were all fully armed. There were about eighteen artillery on the No. 2 lucky ship. There were about twelve artillery on the No. 3 lucky ship. Each Haicang ship had about six artillery. There were a total of more than one hundred artillery.
There are so many artillery that are enough to bomb Zhang Zhun to ascend to heaven and the two Buddhas are born. If there were no two monsters at the exit of Mawan to block there, all the equipment and facilities in Zhang Zhun in Mawan would be destroyed by fierce artillery fire. One hundred artillery cannons are definitely not something that the Hu Ben gun cannon can block. Guns and cannons are two completely different concepts.
After continuing to observe carefully, Zhang Zhun quietly thanked that there was no three-masted gunship in the Black Iron Head fleet. This made Zhang Zhun breathe a little relieved. Because the appearance of the three-masted gunship means that the opponent has stronger red cannons. If the enemy ship has red cannons with a long range, the two monsters that Zhang Zhun desperately created will still withstand severe tests. Because the red cannons can completely bombard the two monsters outside the range, but these two monsters cannot hit each other.
Obviously, Yang Tiansheng was reluctant to send his few three-masted gunships to the northern sea surface. After all, for him, the pirate leader, the three-masted gunships are also very rare, and they will definitely not exceed ten. The three-masted gunships are pure warships, with the most powerful power, and they can only be assured if they are in their own hands. In fact, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the number of red and barbarian cannons was quite rare. There are twenty gates in Beijing and ten gates in Ningyuan City. The red and barbarian cannons in other places are all scattered and will definitely not exceed three gates.
Although the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group can do business with the Red Haired Ghost (Dutch) and buy red cannons directly from them, the price of the Red Cannons has always been extremely expensive. The price of each Red Cannon costs thousands of taels of silver. Even the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group, which is rich enough to rival the country, cannot buy too many Red Cannons. Naturally, the Red Cannons have become the most powerful armed force in their hands and will never be handed over to outsiders for use.
Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and observed carefully, and found a hidden message: all the ships brought by Hei Tietou were armed merchant ships, not pure warships. Obviously, there was a strong smell of using public interest in personal gain: Yang Tiansheng wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with him, Zhang Zhun, to rob Fushan City and enrich his strength. Perhaps he could think that it was secondary to the bad luck of finding Zhang Zhun for Nanjing City. The main thing was to plunder a large amount of wealth from Zhang Zhun's hands.
"Zhang Zhun, I'm here to kill you!"
"You are waiting to die!"
While Zhang Zhun was watching the enemy ship with a thousand-mile mirror, someone was also observing the movements around Mawan on the enemy ship. On the No. 2 Fu Ship on the left, Sun Ronglu was staring at the coastline of Fushan City with hatred on his face, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
This time, the one who led the fleet north to look for Zhang Zhun was Sun Ronglu, nicknamed Black Iron Head. Last time, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sun Ronglu tried to sneak attack Fushan City, but was caught off guard by Zhang Zhun and lost a lot of people. He originally thought he could celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Fushan City, but in the end he had to retreat in shame. After returning, he was scolded by Yang Tiansheng, and indeed lost a lot of face and had to remain silent for several months.
Fortunately, Yang Tiansheng still trusted him. This time, Zheng Zhilong asked Yang Tiansheng to be fully responsible for handling Zhang Zhun's affairs, and Yang Tiansheng was naturally the first to think of Sun Ronglu. Sun Ronglu certainly hoped to have the opportunity to kill back and wash away the shame of the last time. Therefore, he actively asked for his mission, hoping that Yang Tiansheng would hand over this task to him. In the end, Yang Tiansheng allocated ten warships and one hundred cannons to ask him to come back to find Zhang Zhun to revenge.
"I can't celebrate the festival in Fushan City during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, I will celebrate the New Year in Fushan City!"
As the saying goes, enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. Before Sun Ronglu can see Zhang Zhun, he is already jealous after hearing Zhang Zhun's name. Sun Ronglu hurriedly prepared for the battle, and then led the fleet to the estuary of the Yangtze River. He originally thought that he could block Zhang Zhun at the estuary of the Yangtze River. As long as Zhang Zhun is blocked at the estuary of the Yangtze River, Zhang Zhun will definitely be unable to fly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun's speed is quite fast and he has already rushed across the estuary of the Yangtze River to head north.
Due to coordination reasons, Sun Ronglu was delayed for two days at the estuary of the Yangtze River and then led the fleet northward. Because he was anxious to chase Zhang Zhun, Sun Ronglu kept urging his subordinates to hurry up along the way. As a result, Zhang Zhun walked for five days, and Sun Ronglu arrived after four days. Sun Ronglu was very satisfied with this speed.
"Zhang Zhun, this time, I see what you have to do!"
"If you can escape from my palm, I will not have the surname Sun in the future, and I will take your surname!"
"I can't celebrate the festival in Fushan City during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, I will celebrate the New Year in Fushan City!"
Sun Ronglu said viciously.
The coastline of Fushan City appeared in Sun Ronglu's Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile, making Sun Ronglu feel his blood boiling. Sun Ronglu was resentful about the last failure. Now, the opportunity to take revenge has come. He wants to do everything he did not do last time! He was unable to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Fushan City last time, and this time, he wants to celebrate the New Year in Fushan City!
Last time, because he didn't know the existence of Mawan and was not familiar with the sea conditions around Fushan City, he took the method of landing directly, and was accidentally plotted by Zhang Zhun. However, this time, he had a comprehensive plan. His huge fleet, if he wanted to enter Mawan, first used fierce artillery fire to destroy Zhang Zhun's dock, shipyard, naval base and other equipment facilities, completely paralyzing Zhang Zhun's few maritime forces, and then slowly considering the landing. The power he brought this time was more than ten times that of last time. With such a thunderous force, he did not believe that Zhang Zhun had the ability to stop him.
"Prepare for attack!"
"Take Fushan City and enjoy the New Year!"
Sun Ronglu waved vigorously.
He couldn't wait.
He wanted to catch Zhang Zhun immediately and then eat him alive!
"General, it's going to be dark..."
A man whispered under his heart.
When they arrived in Mawan, it was already evening, and it was still half an hour before it was dark. In fact, the light now is not very good. For naval battles in this era, the night is the biggest enemy. Except for sudden encounters, no one would choose to start the war in the dark. In the darkness, ships are prone to collide together, causing unnecessary damage.
His subordinates meant to spend the night here and wait until tomorrow morning to launch an attack. Anyway, Zhang Zhun was already a meat on the chopping board and could not escape. At the same time, everyone could also take a proper rest. As Sun Ronglu kept urging him to speed up along the way, all the sailors were quite tired.
“Isn’t it better to be dark?”
"Get into Mawan! Take Zhang Zhun's woman!"
"We will spend the night in Fushan City tonight!"
"Snatch the Xue sisters and take turns to come!"
"If Zhang Zhun learned the news and ran away with the money, we wouldn't have any hair!"
Sun Ronglu said fiercely.
The hatred between him and Zhang Zhun was entirely caused by the Xue sisters. Because the previous commission had not been completed, Yang Tiansheng always had a thorn in his heart. This thorn was the Xue sisters. If he caught Xue Zhidie, he would have to ravage her to death. Thinking of the woman's hot figure and her proud and upright peaks, Sun Ronglu felt that his throat quickly began to thirst.
"Abide by the order!"
His subordinates had no choice but to agree and ordered the ships to prepare to launch an attack.
Soon, the ten pirate warships formed a battle formation. After all, they were professional naval combat forces, and all offensive actions seemed orderly. All warships opened the cannon windows and the black muzzles protruded from the inside.
"It seems they are very anxious!"
"Start an attack during the march...do you think you are the Army?"
Zhang Zhun held up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said to himself.
He originally thought that it was getting dark, Yang Tiansheng's fleet would rest for one night and then launch an attack tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, they actually launched an attack without stopping. For the Black Iron Head Fleet that was expeditioning in Lao Shi, this was actually not the best choice.
"Hey, Governor, you don't think about what day it is."
"There are two days left, and the Chinese New Year is about to celebrate. These pirates want to celebrate the New Year with your head! It is much more comfortable to celebrate the New Year in Fushan City than to blow the wind on the sea!"
Chen Lingfei said angrily.
Because Zhang Zhun and the others were just watching the battle on the rocks near Mawan, which was a relatively safe area. So, Chen Lingfei also came to join in the fun. Of course, this was what Zhang Zhun allowed, because Chen Lingfei was very familiar with the situation in Jiangnan and could explain many of his doubts from time to time. Originally, Xue Zhidie was a good commentator, but unfortunately she fell ill.
"Yes, there are two days left for the New Year."
"Pirates are also going to celebrate the New Year!"
Zhang Zhun nodded slowly and said to himself.
Today is December 28th, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. For Chinese people, New Year's Eve is the most important festival of the year. As long as it is possible, no one wants to celebrate the New Year outside. Sun Ronglu brought these pirates from the south, and indeed encountered a relatively special festival. If they could not end the battle before New Year's Eve, they would have to celebrate the New Year at sea.
It’s strange that the last time Hei Tietou arrived was the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time it was the New Year. Why did this guy like to start fighting during the festival so much? Are the pirates used to starting fighting before the festival and then celebrating the New Year in the occupied places? Hehe, I’m afraid that their wish this time will be disappointed again!
To be honest, it must be uncomfortable to celebrate the New Year at the sea during this time when the north wind is howling and the weather is cold. This winter is particularly cold. Laizhou Bay to the north has been completely frozen. In order to keep the cold, Chen Lingfei wrapped herself in a thick down coat. This is real down, made of water bird feathers, and looks particularly beautiful. Relatively speaking, there are quite a lot of New Year programs in Fushan City. But what programs can the pirates have on the boat? No wonder they can't wait to launch an attack.
"Brothers!"
"The work is here!"
"Try harder and kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy and go home for the New Year!"
On the top of Ninghai, Zhou Zhengyu said loudly.
According to Zhang Zhun's arrangement, Yang Guohua was in charge of command on Fuhai, and Zhou Zhengyu was in charge of command on Ninghai. The two divided the work and coordinated the command through the banner. As for Zhang Zhun, they watched the fun and coordinated overall.
Chapter completed!
