In the early morning, there is still some time before sunrise, and the sea outside the Eshu Luzhi is still dark
A large number of bright spots can be seen in the darkness for several miles, and it seems that there are large luminous fish gathering here.
The sun emerged from the sea level, and the huge luminous fish showed its true face. They were hundreds of galloping warships. The blue dragon flag on the mast, which was the symbol of the Nanyang Navy of the Yanhuang Empire, danced with the sea breeze.
The fleet sneaked near the night to the location close to Yui Island, and the countless highlights before were the taillights they hung to prevent them from colliding with each other.
At this moment, the fleet had already stopped sailing, and the main officers were gathered in the flagship conference room waiting for news from the reconnaissance team.
When the sun completely jumped out of the sea, several reconnaissance teams also returned to the anchorage to join the brigade.
Several reconnaissance results were quickly summarized at the conference table of Admiral Deng Shizhong and his subordinates: First, the damage to the Kouyi Island Fortress and the coastal fortress was far less severe than expected, and it has been partially repaired.
Second, there were no traces of the Eluzhi Combined Fleet in the port, only some transport ships. Judging from the previous information, it should be transporting urgently needed gunpowder to the defenders on the island.
Third, one of the reconnaissance teams entered the east to the military port of Xieluzhi and discovered the combined fleet's ships, but the scale was not large. It is estimated that about 100 ships were estimated to be
On the one hand, the fortress was not damaged much, but on the other hand, the fleet seemed to have suffered huge losses, so that it was only one-third of the scale left and was forced to withdraw to the local area to avoid war. The completely contradictory reconnaissance result made Deng Shizhong vaguely smell the conspiracy.
But looking back at the emperor's imperial edict, he must capture Qiyi Island within three days, and find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy's joint fleet in the following period of time.
The emperor's meaning is very clear, and if he fails to complete the established task, the consequences of His Majesty's anger will be very serious. He silently threw the topic to his subordinates.
The cabin was quickly divided into two factions, and the young generals who were eager to make military achievements thought they should attack immediately.
Because the opponent's fleet is not present, and the fortress has weak defense and dead ends due to damage in explosions and fires, it is the best time to attack; at the same time, they also pointed out that the navy came from afar and had difficulty in supplying, so it was necessary to fight quickly and decide quickly.
But the older senior generals advocated suspending the attack to find out more information
They questioned the current reconnaissance results very much, believing that the losses of the Eluzhi Joint Fleet could not be that great. Moreover, the reconnaissance fleet only reconnaissed the other party's local military ports and did not investigate the possible hidden anchorages one by one nearby, so it is not trustworthy
After a quarrel, the mature generals gradually convinced their young colleagues.
Everyone quickly concluded: First, the main force of the Eluzhi Combined Fleet is unknown. If you risk attacking the island now, you may encounter an attack from the rear.
Second, if you choose to try to attack the enemy fleet first, it may take a long time to search and wait. It is unknown whether the navy's supply can be maintained.
Third, even if the enemy fleet is found, the opponent may hide in the local military port to avoid a decisive battle. At present, the navy does not have the strength to land on the local area of Xieluzhi to attack the military port.
It seemed that I was trapped in an unsolvable circle. In fact, there was still a way to go, just retreat, but no one dared to say it
Everyone knew in their hearts that this battle was enough to reverse the situation in the Southeast, and the emperor obviously made up his mind and spent a lot of money.
If the navy runs back without taking off the shot, then he will definitely be so angry that he jumped off the dragon throne and scolded people. It is easy to imagine how miserable the fate of his own people will be.
After silence, there was another debate, and everyone finally came up with a feasible combat plan: leave a small number of troops behind the main force, reconnaissance and restrain the possible enemy joint fleets.
At the same time, the main force of the navy captured the ball Iwojima at the fastest speed at all costs.
Then, rely on the cover of the firepower of the fort to fight with the enemy navy, or if it really doesn't work, it temporarily retreats into the port to defend the ball and fight again.
This is undoubtedly a huge risk plan. The rapid attack without any consequences will inevitably cause huge losses to the navy, and it will fall into a disadvantage in the possible battle with the Xieluzhi joint fleet.
But such a tough attack is necessary, because the key to victory or defeat can be said to be whether the fortress can be taken before being forced to fight with the enemy fleet.
If it succeeds, then you can advance to fight against the enemy fleet under the cover of fortress artillery, and retreat to enter the port to defend; but if it fails, it will be attacked from both sides, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
No one objected, because everyone knew it
Even if you are defeated, it is better to die in battle, go back to revoke the post or even beheaded, it is all your own problem.
But if you retreat and anger the emperor, then you will be deceiving the emperor, and you will be implicated in the nine tribes!
The morning sunlight leaked into the room from the pink curtains. On the bed, the temporary owner of the room was still open his eyes, and his pupils, which were originally red, were covered with haggard blood due to insomnia.
These eyes were not able to close for a night, because even if you fall asleep, you will be mischievously like Yirou, a kitten, and more...
As soon as you close your eyes, that back will always flash in your mind
She knew the persistence he had towards him since childhood, so she fully understood what the other person's annoying and even childish behavior was for.
She was also constantly complaining about why she wanted to hurt a persistent sincerity, but...
Whether it is Sima Fuyun or Shiori, these two names do not belong to her only now. She cannot deprive another person of the opportunity to choose for herself. That's too selfish!
There was such a voice in her heart that always suppressed guilt and emotions
Sister Shiori, brother, he was not yesterday... He cared about you so much...
Without even notice, Yirou around her had already woken up and said carefully
I know, I didn't blame him, really
She sat up slightly and sorted out her long hair that was a little scattered. After all, she grew up together, and I knew very well what kind of person he was. She always wanted to hide everything in her heart, but in fact she always wrote it on her face...
After a moment of silence, as if she was going to gather some courage, she finally asked, Yirou... As far as you know, he... is your brother... to me... is...
That's it...
Her problem surprised the little girl, but it seemed to have been expected. First of all, I think Sister Shizhi is beautiful, has a gentle personality, has such good character, popularity and reputation, and is capable, so my stupid brother is not worthy of you at all.
The little girl deliberately made a very serious look and made her feel embarrassed. Actually, I asked my brother this question, but he refused to say it. In the end, I used some extraordinary means to confess it!
Um……
Hearing this, she couldn't help but smile. She knew too much about the little girl's extraordinary means. When she was a child, she would show her power to her poor brother without any hesitation. I remember that when the three of them were together, the most he said was probably Shiori's life-saving!
It's
Sister Shiori, are you listening?
Yirou's question pulled her out of her memories
Ah…sorry, I’m distracted, you continue to say
He said... In fact, it can be said that it was influenced by his mother's words when he was a child, his mother always compared him to you: 'If you learn from other people', girls are better than you'. Everything is like this...
Yirou continued, this was indeed what Wisteria said in her heart that she had asked.
I see……
Her tone was a little bitter, but she seemed relieved. Because he was unwilling to admit defeat, he had a persistence towards me, just persistence!
No, you don't understand at all,
Seeing that the huge misunderstanding might have caused by his own words, Yirou became a little excited. Brother, he was indeed persistent and unwilling to lose to you, but that was because he was afraid that he would not be worthy of you!
……
Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually became blurred. Thank you for telling me this...
I have been troubled by this unclear feeling for so many years, but now I have pointed out everyone’s feelings with Yirou’s words. Maybe it’s really a bystander!
Then what about you, Sister Shizhi?
Yirou suddenly asked when she took the opportunity
I...I don't know...
This question left her speechless. She could not deny the familiar warm current deep in her heart when she met again, but she had reasons that she could not explain that she had to suppress it, so she could only make excuses like this.
Then why not meet alone, maybe you will understand everything
Ah…what…that…
Yirou suddenly suggested, scaring her. She hurriedly wanted to stop her, but she seemed to be reluctant to say anything.
Then I decided that I would go and tell my brother, Sister Shiori, just wait for him in the garden in half an hour.
Yirou said nothing, she opened the window and jumped to the next window.
……
She felt excited but was accompanied by uneasiness. She turned her head and looked at the entourage room next door. Sakura, is this really possible?
********************
Brother, get up quickly...
Wisteria in her sleep seemed to hear her sister's voice. Well...I'll sleep again
He just thought it was an illusion in his dream
Get up quickly!
Wisteria felt one hand stretching towards her face, fiddling her hair with a very gentle movement, and then...
Ah? Damn girl, how did you come in?
After being kissed on his face, Wisteria opened her eyes in a daze and saw the person in front of her. He jumped up immediately and subconsciously reached out to touch her. Fortunately, Lan Hua was no longer there
Ah! Why, don’t my brother like good morning kiss?
Yirou didn't seem to care about his abnormal movements that were panicked just now, and asked with a smile, "There is a good thing now, brother, if your brother invites me to breakfast, I can tell you!"
What good things can you do, let it go, I don't want to know anyway
Um?
What do you want to eat?
My sister's dissatisfied voice rang again, and Wisteria immediately changed her mouth very wisely before her sister pounced on her.
After quickly put on the clothes and washed up, Witto was forced to hold his arms and pulled him to the outer hall where he was dining. The servants of the official office had already prepared breakfast, and the fragrance of pastry filled the entire room.
Yirou grabbed two pastries with different tastes with both hands and took a bite happily. It was so sweet and delicious.
The double sweetness of honey and bean paste made her squint her eyes happily
You like sweets
Take a sip of the porridge in the bowl, Wisteria smiled and said
My brother is not the same, I have been drinking porridge for more than ten years
Yirou's mouth was stuffed with food, and she responded in a vague voice in a very unceremonious way, while quickly sweeping the pasta in front of her. After a while, she drank some soy milk. Well... I'm full.
Little girl, are you so full?
Wisteria saw that there was almost half a plate of food in front of her sister. Can you eat so little?
He asked with some concern
But the sister smiled and replied: Girls should keep their weight, so...
...Little girl, how heavy are you?
Wisteria asked unintentionally
Brother, how can you ask girls such a question?
Yirou seemed quite unhappy, and Witten could even feel one of her feet under the table had been raised.
Yes... I'm sorry! I'm unintentional!
He apologized in a hurry, for fear that he would limp back if he said he would say he would take a step late.
Forget it, given that there is still something big about today, I will forgive you this time
Yirou seemed to let him go, so the time is almost done. Brother, hurry up and go to the garden next door, don't let Sister Shizhi wait for a long time
real……
Looking at my sister's rare serious face, Witto was stunned for a long time before he realized, Little girl, you are such an angel!
He resisted the urge to pick up his sister and kiss her well, and he got up and was about to run out
elder brother,
But Yirou suddenly said something, "Can you be together forever?" The three of us...
Fool, that's of course, you are my sister!
Wisteria turned around and said with a smile
Is it just a sister...?
Yirou's hot heart seemed to be thrown into the ice cellar suddenly. Her voice became inaudible, but she still forced a smile. Brother, come on!
After leaving her sister's vision, Wisteria's steps became a little staggering. Yirou's memories of her feelings have always been so real...
But how should I face her and Sister Xuela?
All this made Wisteria very melancholy
Bang!
With a sound, the absent-minded wisteria was knocked to the ground, and a piano fell to him
Ah...I'm sorry!
The familiar female voice said, and then the voice owner picked up Qin Fei and ran away.
This back looks so familiar...
The other party was wearing a veil and was in a hurry again. Wisteria did not see her appearance clearly, nor did she notice the strange expression in the other party's eyes as they looked at each other.
But the hurriedly left always made him feel very familiar, but he also felt something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he couldn't think of it for a moment
Continue to walk into the next garden alone, and finally a familiar figure appeared in front of me
The bright red hair fluttered gently in the breeze, setting off its owner's graceful figure even more charming
Walking slowly, Wisteria tried hard to stop her heart, and she greeted her in her usual voice: Shiori, morning!
Shiori turned around, and Wisteria saw the gentle smile on her face, OK, Hello! Zi Gongzi
Shiori smiled and said that Mr. Zi, she said so naturally, but it made Wisteria sound so awkward
Are you reading a book?
Wisteria noticed that she had a book with a white cover on her hand, and the strange letters of the Western Continent marked the title and author on it. It was the "Democratic Politics Science" by Sograding, an outstanding politician and philosopher in the Western Continent. It was Ah! I was free and had nothing to do,
Shiori replied, in fact, she was a little intentional, in order to provoke some topics without being too embarrassed. It’s a pity that some things are not very clear.
Ah……
Wisteria hesitated for a moment and said: If it is convenient, I wonder if I can sit next to you?
Huh?
Shiori was slightly stunned
Didn’t you say that some things don’t understand?
Wisteria quickly explained: I am more proficient in the language and philosophical thoughts of the Western Continent, just to see if I can help you.
Shiori laughed, thank you so much
Wisteria shook slightly, walked forward quickly, sat side by side with Shiori, but accidentally sat on her skirt. Wisteria hurriedly got up and adjusted, and was rude...
Shiori smiled and shook her head
She turned her head slightly to look at the familiar and strange boy beside her.
In the sun, Wisteria actually found something shiny in Shiori's eyes, and his heart began to beat violently.
Wisteria explained the views in the book in detail, but he used Western languages, and Shiori would also continue talking in unfamiliar Western languages, because everyone knew two things: First, the content he was talking about is definitely a taboo in this country; Second, there are not many people in China who know Western languages, and His Majesty the Emperor would never have thought of sending someone who knows this language to monitor him.
However, Wisteria soon found that she was becoming more and more unable to concentrate. Shiori had a soft smile on her face and a gentle and shy expression in her eyes. She looked at him slightly. This close face made him feel that his heart was about to jump out of her chest. She couldn't help but leaned over a little and said in a low voice: Shiori...
Shiori suddenly realized that the two sides were getting a little too close. A hint of red glow flashed across her face, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she moved a little gently to the side. Mr. Zi... Speaking of which, we used to be together in such a garden, which really makes people miss Ah!
Wisteria was slightly stunned. Her sentence was said in oriental language. He immediately remembered that when he was a child, he did often play with Shiori and his sister in the royal palace garden. He nodded and said with deep emotion: It's Ah! However, this has happened a long time ago...
The distance between the two seemed to be bigger between them and Shiori smiled and said: Did it a long time ago? I don’t think it was just a few years ago!
Wisteria smelled a refreshing fragrance slightly from her nose, and felt her mind feel a little hot again; to be honest, over the years, I am afraid that it is the closest time I am to Shiori
Until this moment, he discovered that Shiori smelled so good
Listening to Shiori's whispers in his ears, he secretly glanced at Shiori: Her breasts were almost perfectly curved.
Wisteria sighed without answering, thinking to herself: It's Ah, it's just a few years ago; but, in recent years, we have all grown up Ah!
Seeing that he did not answer, Shiori asked with a little confusion: What's wrong? Don't you think so?
Wisteria quickly smiled and said: No, I think so too... I just feel a little emotional, time flies so fast...
It's Ah... in a blink of an eye... well...
Maybe he found out that he had missed the topic, Shiori was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this book. To be honest, although it would seem disrespectful to the emperor, I think the equal political system mentioned in it is very good
When it comes to sensitive content, she changed back to Western languages
Equality? Do you think so?
Wisteria also changed
Isn't it?
The so-called equality is actually just the idealized wishful thinking of democrats. People are divided into different levels. Each person's different abilities and status determine that they should not be in an equal position. For example, is Sograd as a philosopher and a beggar equal as he said? Whether in terms of ability or social contribution, if they are really equal, that is the greatest inequality!
Is this how?
Shiori was a little dazed. Everything that Wisteria said was a bit naive about politics. She was so profound. In the past, she always thought Wisteria was just a military genius. Now such a profound political argument also came from his mouth, which surprised Shiori.
Wisteria turned her head and saw the expression on Shiori's face. She was stunned for a moment before answering: Yes, Ah, I'm sorry, it's on a whim...
I was very upset. I wonder if Shiori thought she was showing off something to her on purpose? One was thinking and the other was regretting. The two began to fall into a very embarrassing silence between them.
Time passed little by little in silence, and finally, Wisteria seemed to have made some decision. Looking at Shiori, slowly, word by word: Shiori, that... would you like to be my wife in the future as you said when you were a child?
In an instant, everything in the world seemed to solidify
The girl continued to remain silent, but her expression seemed to be in the corridor of time. Wisteria knew that her words made Shiori recall the time when she was a child and the promises that the children had to speak freely.
He was also waiting in silence, hoping that Shiori now can give him the same answer as he did back then
Time passed by minute by minute, and Shiori's expression gradually became firm. Seeing that her familiar and unfamiliar perseverance slowly appeared in her eyes, Wisteria understood that the girl had a clear answer in her heart.
His heart was beating violently and violently, and the faster he jumped, Shiori, would the answer in your heart bring me into heaven or into hell?
Shiori looked at him quietly and said softly but firmly: Mr. Zi... No, Zi, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to agree for the moment.
Wisteria's body shook, her face turned pale immediately. She glanced at Shiori miserably and said hoarsely: Is that true? Haha, it's still...
Zi, that's not the case! Listen to me and finish Ah!
Shiori stood up suddenly, held him and shouted anxiously
Wisteria was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, grabbed her hand and said tremblingly: So, have you agreed?
Shiori blushed and let him hold his hand. In fact, she really hoped to agree to it, but...
She sighed softly and said: Zi... Sorry, I'm not mentally prepared for these things now... I, I don't know what kind of feelings I have for you now... So, I wonder, can I give me more time?
In the face of helplessness and contradiction, she could only throw out the omnipotent trick. Wisteria stared at the girl's blushing face. The impact of happiness seemed to have caused his IQ to plummet, so she did not notice what was behind the other party's language.
At this moment, he didn't know what he felt in his heart. Although Shiori did not agree to him, he did not refuse.
Most importantly, she returned to her familiar and affectionate name
Shiori's face gradually turned redder, and the palm held by Wisteria struggled slightly. Someone who was slow to react was finally startled and immediately woke up. He hurriedly let go of his hand and said: Shiori, this... I didn't mean it.
The girl shook her head gently, ...It's okay
After a long period of silence, the breath in the garden became strange again Shiori quietly removed her gaze from the wisteria, that, I'll leave first...
Looking at her escaped back, Wisteria's thoughts were tide in her heart, and it was a good start, just like when she first met more than ten years ago. The result should be very good, right?
Bang!
Wisteria walked back with joy, but was knocked down again. It was still a piano that fell beside her, and it seemed that she had just seen it.
Really very sorry!
The apology sound also seemed to have just heard it. Wisteria looked at it. It was the girl who knocked her down before. At this time, she was still wearing a veil.
It's you again... It's such a coincidence!
Wisteria picked up the piano and handed it back to her
Thank you! But it's not a coincidence, it should be fate
Wisteria felt that the other party's voice was a bit strange. It was obvious that it was using internal force to vent the air and hiding its own sound, but the sound was somewhat familiar.
I think it's a bad fate...
Wisteria joked
really……
The girl gave an answer that was quite meaningful and then ran away
……
Looking at the other person's back as he left anxiously, Wisteria finally realized that familiar feeling. What was the girl's voice and back were so similar to Shiori. As for what she thought was wrong at that time, it was her hair. Shiori's hair was red, while hers was brown.
At this time, the Gulf of Qiwojima was filled with smoke and the artillery fire was shaking the sky
This is a rare large-scale artillery battle in the history of mainland wars. Hundreds of artillery fires emitted from the muzzles reflect the red of this once prosperous commercial island port at the intersection of the two countries' territorial seas.
On the water surface of the harbor, on the sea surface, on the land fortress and around the tall fortress, soil splashes, gunpowders rise, and a sea of fire
The navy officers and soldiers of the Yanhuang Empire were very motivated because they had much more artillery than the other. At this moment, the artillery shells fired by the bloody imperial sailors exploded the entire island and the nearby sea.
At the same time, a large number of warships rushed to the beach in artillery fire and rain of fire. Many were ignited and sunk. Not long after, the wreckage of the broken ship wreck had already filled most of the sea in the bay. The sea was not only covered with broken trusses, broken oars, broken wood, but also countless corpses. The water surface was dyed into a sea of blood.
But there were still more warships rushing up to the beachheads behind them
Groups of sailors jumped off their familiar warships. Today they must play the role of the army, holding shields, holding spears, wielding swords, staggering forward on the soft beach, swallowing by arrows, knocking down by gunfire, crushed by artillery fire, stepping on the broken corpses of their companions in front of them, paving the way to the fortress for their comrades behind them with blood.
Landing soldiers struggling in artillery fire and arrow rain complained about the gunners on the warship behind them between death and pain.
But in fact, that's really wronged them
Not long after the war started, the navy's artillery quickly discovered that even though their number of artillery was superior, they were still unable to suppress the opponent's firepower.
At the beginning of the war, Lisas, a major military-industrial power in the West, adhered to its usual principle of neutral merchants and told both countries that they could sell arms.
But Emperor Long Zhengtian of the Celestial Kingdom immediately stated that he did not need inferior things from Western countries. On the contrary, Xie Luzhi made a positive reaction
Therefore, the advanced cannons and muskets produced by the Lisas Tulip Arsenal, which is famous for its outstanding quality and advanced technology, were continuously transported to Xieluzhi.
Now, when the warships of the Nanyang Navy are still equipped with red cannons made of imitating Tulip One cannons ten years ago, the powerful Tulip Three Heavy Cannons and the four quick cannons that use detachable breezes to load quickly
More importantly, under the guidance of the Lisas artillery experts hired, the Xieluzhi artillery soldiers had already weaved a fire net that was enough to make any invading ships scattered from all angles. Any target on the sea, as long as they enter the field of view of the observation platform, will immediately become a shooting element and be hit by the artillery fire accurately and violently.
At this moment, under the fierce bombardment of coastal artillery fire, the warships of the Nanyang Navy were shattered one by one, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere in the explosion.
But the advantage of quantity is still irreversible under this situation. After paying a huge price, the landing naval forces attacked the barriers of the fortress. They roared to the collapsed wreckage that could not be repaired, so without any breathing, the offense and defense entered a state of hand-to-hand combat
The imperial sailors are very motivated, but their killing skills during hand-to-hand combat are under the opponent's professional army, and they have no advantage in fighting.
The defenders also quickly deployed blocking firepower on the broken city walls, especially the intensive shooting of many scorpion crossbows that could be fired quickly from Lisas caused huge damage to the attackers.
The sailors of the empire were undoubtedly brave, but the gap in the city wall was not big, and more people could only stay outside the gap, and the terrain was extremely flat and there was no obstacle to protecting the advance. Under the rainy arrows, the young sailors fell in large numbers, and they were buried forever in this foreign land.
Soon, as the ladder and other equipment were sent to the forefront one after another, the situation improved. The sailors shouted and rushed to the fortress city as they stepped on the ladder.
Countless wooden rolling stones were smashed down from the city wall, and the sailors on the ladder were shot down from the city one after another.
Next to the ladder, the officers were still shouting: Go up! Go up!
More sailors risked their lives to rush up...
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a sound like the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, then a huge fire ball rose in the fortress.
The loud sound and the fierce fireball made the chaotic battlefield silent for a moment, and all the fighting stopped, because the officers and soldiers on both sides didn't know what was going on, and more than 100,000 pairs of eyes were stunned in the thick black smoke rolling towards the sky.
Several unknown gunners and a poorly performing artillery on an unknown Nanyang Navy warship accidentally affected the progress of the entire battle. A shell that completely deviated from its normal flight trajectory because the artillery suddenly exploded after it was fired and flew to a corner of the main fortress's main fortress that was originally outside the range. There was the temporary gunpowder warehouse of the fortress!
Amid the huge explosion and flames, all buildings within a radius of miles were destroyed, and huge fireworks rushed thousands of feet high to explode and destroyed the core artillery of the fortress. Almost all the Xieluzhi artillery and the most important reserve team of the defenders on this fort were blown to death on the spot.
Opportunities must not be missed!
On the flagship in the distance, Deng Shizhong woke up first. He pulled out his sword and roared: Where are the brothers in the Weiying camp?
A group of fierce personal soldiers immediately stood up beside him and shouted: Here!
He shouted again: Follow me!
He personally directed the flagship to rush towards the beach...
In the sunset of dusk, near a reef outside the local military port of Xieluzhi, more than 300 warships were ready to go. This is the secret anchorage of the Xieluzhi joint fleet.
In the flagship conference cabin, the commander of the Joint Fleet Admiral Yamamoto was dressed in a neat military uniform, sitting upright at the admiral's seat, and the generals stood on both sides.
An officer in a warrior dressed in a bloody face hurried in and reported: Admiral, Gunyi Island has changed a lot! Our gunpowder depot was shot and exploded, and the reserve team was martyred. The enemy's offensive became increasingly fierce, and our army was unable to support it for a long time!
Yamamoto used his light to sweep the samurai and said indifferently: How long can the fortress last?
The warrior was stunned and thought about it and replied urgently: At most, he can only hold on for another day!
good……
Yamamoto said ruthlessly: Let them continue to stick to their loyalty to the Emperor! You go down and rest first
The warrior begged for tremblingly: There are 20,000 brothers in the fortress, admiral, you cannot save Ah!
He hissed and begged: Admiral, I will ask you for your brothers on the island...
As he said that, he kowtowed heavily, and the generals sitting beside him looked at him, showing a look of unbearableness.
Yamamoto interrupted him impatiently and took him down!
Two guards immediately came up, held the samurai and dragged it down, struggling and cursing: Yamamoto's old man! If you don't save him, you will be heartbroken! You will not die well...
The lobby is silent, full of murderous aura
Yamamoto was furious and yelled: Kill him!
No!
As soon as the voice fell, the warrior screamed in despair. He suddenly broke free from the guard's arm and grabbed the door. The guard holding a musket at the door immediately opened fire. The warrior's body staggered unwillingly in the sound of the gunshot and murmured vaguely: Don't kill me... Let me return the ball sulfur... Let me die with my brothers...
Gradually lost breath
well……
Yamamoto sighed and ordered, "Restrain and wait until the sulphur is recovered before burying the soldiers on the island with the broken jade!
After saying that, the generals in the inspection said slowly: He just said that the island can last for at most one day, but it can be seen from me. They can't even survive the loss of the ball and sulfur. At the latest, it will be tomorrow morning.
All the generals stood silently
He continued: Therefore, tonight, all the soldiers and horses of all ships fell asleep in advance, and slept well to restore their energy and get up tomorrow at the fifth day of the year, make preparations before the war, and set off at the beginning of the year.
The generals responded in unison: Obey the order!
This governor estimated that the fleet arrived near Kooyi Island at noon. If it arrived, the Yanhuang Nanyang Navy was still near the outer sea. Each ship looked for a hidden anchorage to rest and standby. If anyone went out to fight without authorization, he would be killed immediately!
All the generals were surprised and looked at each other and dared not speak
Yamamoto said: If the enemy navy has entered the port to rest when he arrives, then immediately take the southwest wind to release tung oil fireboats to block the port. Then, each ship shoots the various berths according to the pre-painted berths in the port, and shoots cannons and hunts! Everyone, you must convey the words of this governor to every soldier, and tell them not to care about the gains and losses of Kouyi Island. Our goal is to annihilate the enemy's naval forces. As for the island itself, as long as it has the power to control the sea, it is an isolated island. The enemy troops on it are like their Southeast Army, and it is easy to deal with them when they come back!
********************
At this time, most of the outer defense support points and city walls of the Koiyu Island Fortress had been cleared and occupied. Countless sailors of the Nanyang Navy rushed into the fortress frantically, and the remaining defenders fought desperately in the alleys and buildings. Every house and every inch of the road were repeatedly smeared by both sides with blood...
Deng Shizhong and several deputy generals entered the fortress side by side. Everyone was more or less injured, their faces were covered with smoke and blood.
They walked and looked at the blood that was almost not reaching their ankles, and saw the bodies of sailors and defenders scattered from all directions.
A deputy general said in a hoarse voice: Admiral, the brothers of each ship, probably more than half of them have died or injured.
Um……
Deng Shizhong said thoughtfully: This is not what I am worried about...
The deputy general asked: Then what are you worried about?
What I worry about is that we have been playing the ball for almost a day. Why didn’t the Eluzhi Combined Fleet come to rescue for such a long time? It is logical that when we attack the fortress, they are their best fighter jets, but they didn’t come. What are their ideas?
All the deputy generals were speechless, and they were speechless. What should we do now?
One of the questions
Continue to clear the fortress, and order all navigators who are still outside the sea to enter the harbor to rest and rest, so as to remain unchanged and respond to changes!
A large number of bright spots can be seen in the darkness for several miles, and it seems that there are large luminous fish gathering here.
The sun emerged from the sea level, and the huge luminous fish showed its true face. They were hundreds of galloping warships. The blue dragon flag on the mast, which was the symbol of the Nanyang Navy of the Yanhuang Empire, danced with the sea breeze.
The fleet sneaked near the night to the location close to Yui Island, and the countless highlights before were the taillights they hung to prevent them from colliding with each other.
At this moment, the fleet had already stopped sailing, and the main officers were gathered in the flagship conference room waiting for news from the reconnaissance team.
When the sun completely jumped out of the sea, several reconnaissance teams also returned to the anchorage to join the brigade.
Several reconnaissance results were quickly summarized at the conference table of Admiral Deng Shizhong and his subordinates: First, the damage to the Kouyi Island Fortress and the coastal fortress was far less severe than expected, and it has been partially repaired.
Second, there were no traces of the Eluzhi Combined Fleet in the port, only some transport ships. Judging from the previous information, it should be transporting urgently needed gunpowder to the defenders on the island.
Third, one of the reconnaissance teams entered the east to the military port of Xieluzhi and discovered the combined fleet's ships, but the scale was not large. It is estimated that about 100 ships were estimated to be
On the one hand, the fortress was not damaged much, but on the other hand, the fleet seemed to have suffered huge losses, so that it was only one-third of the scale left and was forced to withdraw to the local area to avoid war. The completely contradictory reconnaissance result made Deng Shizhong vaguely smell the conspiracy.
But looking back at the emperor's imperial edict, he must capture Qiyi Island within three days, and find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy's joint fleet in the following period of time.
The emperor's meaning is very clear, and if he fails to complete the established task, the consequences of His Majesty's anger will be very serious. He silently threw the topic to his subordinates.
The cabin was quickly divided into two factions, and the young generals who were eager to make military achievements thought they should attack immediately.
Because the opponent's fleet is not present, and the fortress has weak defense and dead ends due to damage in explosions and fires, it is the best time to attack; at the same time, they also pointed out that the navy came from afar and had difficulty in supplying, so it was necessary to fight quickly and decide quickly.
But the older senior generals advocated suspending the attack to find out more information
They questioned the current reconnaissance results very much, believing that the losses of the Eluzhi Joint Fleet could not be that great. Moreover, the reconnaissance fleet only reconnaissed the other party's local military ports and did not investigate the possible hidden anchorages one by one nearby, so it is not trustworthy
After a quarrel, the mature generals gradually convinced their young colleagues.
Everyone quickly concluded: First, the main force of the Eluzhi Combined Fleet is unknown. If you risk attacking the island now, you may encounter an attack from the rear.
Second, if you choose to try to attack the enemy fleet first, it may take a long time to search and wait. It is unknown whether the navy's supply can be maintained.
Third, even if the enemy fleet is found, the opponent may hide in the local military port to avoid a decisive battle. At present, the navy does not have the strength to land on the local area of Xieluzhi to attack the military port.
It seemed that I was trapped in an unsolvable circle. In fact, there was still a way to go, just retreat, but no one dared to say it
Everyone knew in their hearts that this battle was enough to reverse the situation in the Southeast, and the emperor obviously made up his mind and spent a lot of money.
If the navy runs back without taking off the shot, then he will definitely be so angry that he jumped off the dragon throne and scolded people. It is easy to imagine how miserable the fate of his own people will be.
After silence, there was another debate, and everyone finally came up with a feasible combat plan: leave a small number of troops behind the main force, reconnaissance and restrain the possible enemy joint fleets.
At the same time, the main force of the navy captured the ball Iwojima at the fastest speed at all costs.
Then, rely on the cover of the firepower of the fort to fight with the enemy navy, or if it really doesn't work, it temporarily retreats into the port to defend the ball and fight again.
This is undoubtedly a huge risk plan. The rapid attack without any consequences will inevitably cause huge losses to the navy, and it will fall into a disadvantage in the possible battle with the Xieluzhi joint fleet.
But such a tough attack is necessary, because the key to victory or defeat can be said to be whether the fortress can be taken before being forced to fight with the enemy fleet.
If it succeeds, then you can advance to fight against the enemy fleet under the cover of fortress artillery, and retreat to enter the port to defend; but if it fails, it will be attacked from both sides, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
No one objected, because everyone knew it
Even if you are defeated, it is better to die in battle, go back to revoke the post or even beheaded, it is all your own problem.
But if you retreat and anger the emperor, then you will be deceiving the emperor, and you will be implicated in the nine tribes!
The morning sunlight leaked into the room from the pink curtains. On the bed, the temporary owner of the room was still open his eyes, and his pupils, which were originally red, were covered with haggard blood due to insomnia.
These eyes were not able to close for a night, because even if you fall asleep, you will be mischievously like Yirou, a kitten, and more...
As soon as you close your eyes, that back will always flash in your mind
She knew the persistence he had towards him since childhood, so she fully understood what the other person's annoying and even childish behavior was for.
She was also constantly complaining about why she wanted to hurt a persistent sincerity, but...
Whether it is Sima Fuyun or Shiori, these two names do not belong to her only now. She cannot deprive another person of the opportunity to choose for herself. That's too selfish!
There was such a voice in her heart that always suppressed guilt and emotions
Sister Shiori, brother, he was not yesterday... He cared about you so much...
Without even notice, Yirou around her had already woken up and said carefully
I know, I didn't blame him, really
She sat up slightly and sorted out her long hair that was a little scattered. After all, she grew up together, and I knew very well what kind of person he was. She always wanted to hide everything in her heart, but in fact she always wrote it on her face...
After a moment of silence, as if she was going to gather some courage, she finally asked, Yirou... As far as you know, he... is your brother... to me... is...
That's it...
Her problem surprised the little girl, but it seemed to have been expected. First of all, I think Sister Shizhi is beautiful, has a gentle personality, has such good character, popularity and reputation, and is capable, so my stupid brother is not worthy of you at all.
The little girl deliberately made a very serious look and made her feel embarrassed. Actually, I asked my brother this question, but he refused to say it. In the end, I used some extraordinary means to confess it!
Um……
Hearing this, she couldn't help but smile. She knew too much about the little girl's extraordinary means. When she was a child, she would show her power to her poor brother without any hesitation. I remember that when the three of them were together, the most he said was probably Shiori's life-saving!
It's
Sister Shiori, are you listening?
Yirou's question pulled her out of her memories
Ah…sorry, I’m distracted, you continue to say
He said... In fact, it can be said that it was influenced by his mother's words when he was a child, his mother always compared him to you: 'If you learn from other people', girls are better than you'. Everything is like this...
Yirou continued, this was indeed what Wisteria said in her heart that she had asked.
I see……
Her tone was a little bitter, but she seemed relieved. Because he was unwilling to admit defeat, he had a persistence towards me, just persistence!
No, you don't understand at all,
Seeing that the huge misunderstanding might have caused by his own words, Yirou became a little excited. Brother, he was indeed persistent and unwilling to lose to you, but that was because he was afraid that he would not be worthy of you!
……
Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually became blurred. Thank you for telling me this...
I have been troubled by this unclear feeling for so many years, but now I have pointed out everyone’s feelings with Yirou’s words. Maybe it’s really a bystander!
Then what about you, Sister Shizhi?
Yirou suddenly asked when she took the opportunity
I...I don't know...
This question left her speechless. She could not deny the familiar warm current deep in her heart when she met again, but she had reasons that she could not explain that she had to suppress it, so she could only make excuses like this.
Then why not meet alone, maybe you will understand everything
Ah…what…that…
Yirou suddenly suggested, scaring her. She hurriedly wanted to stop her, but she seemed to be reluctant to say anything.
Then I decided that I would go and tell my brother, Sister Shiori, just wait for him in the garden in half an hour.
Yirou said nothing, she opened the window and jumped to the next window.
……
She felt excited but was accompanied by uneasiness. She turned her head and looked at the entourage room next door. Sakura, is this really possible?
********************
Brother, get up quickly...
Wisteria in her sleep seemed to hear her sister's voice. Well...I'll sleep again
He just thought it was an illusion in his dream
Get up quickly!
Wisteria felt one hand stretching towards her face, fiddling her hair with a very gentle movement, and then...
Ah? Damn girl, how did you come in?
After being kissed on his face, Wisteria opened her eyes in a daze and saw the person in front of her. He jumped up immediately and subconsciously reached out to touch her. Fortunately, Lan Hua was no longer there
Ah! Why, don’t my brother like good morning kiss?
Yirou didn't seem to care about his abnormal movements that were panicked just now, and asked with a smile, "There is a good thing now, brother, if your brother invites me to breakfast, I can tell you!"
What good things can you do, let it go, I don't want to know anyway
Um?
What do you want to eat?
My sister's dissatisfied voice rang again, and Wisteria immediately changed her mouth very wisely before her sister pounced on her.
After quickly put on the clothes and washed up, Witto was forced to hold his arms and pulled him to the outer hall where he was dining. The servants of the official office had already prepared breakfast, and the fragrance of pastry filled the entire room.
Yirou grabbed two pastries with different tastes with both hands and took a bite happily. It was so sweet and delicious.
The double sweetness of honey and bean paste made her squint her eyes happily
You like sweets
Take a sip of the porridge in the bowl, Wisteria smiled and said
My brother is not the same, I have been drinking porridge for more than ten years
Yirou's mouth was stuffed with food, and she responded in a vague voice in a very unceremonious way, while quickly sweeping the pasta in front of her. After a while, she drank some soy milk. Well... I'm full.
Little girl, are you so full?
Wisteria saw that there was almost half a plate of food in front of her sister. Can you eat so little?
He asked with some concern
But the sister smiled and replied: Girls should keep their weight, so...
...Little girl, how heavy are you?
Wisteria asked unintentionally
Brother, how can you ask girls such a question?
Yirou seemed quite unhappy, and Witten could even feel one of her feet under the table had been raised.
Yes... I'm sorry! I'm unintentional!
He apologized in a hurry, for fear that he would limp back if he said he would say he would take a step late.
Forget it, given that there is still something big about today, I will forgive you this time
Yirou seemed to let him go, so the time is almost done. Brother, hurry up and go to the garden next door, don't let Sister Shizhi wait for a long time
real……
Looking at my sister's rare serious face, Witto was stunned for a long time before he realized, Little girl, you are such an angel!
He resisted the urge to pick up his sister and kiss her well, and he got up and was about to run out
elder brother,
But Yirou suddenly said something, "Can you be together forever?" The three of us...
Fool, that's of course, you are my sister!
Wisteria turned around and said with a smile
Is it just a sister...?
Yirou's hot heart seemed to be thrown into the ice cellar suddenly. Her voice became inaudible, but she still forced a smile. Brother, come on!
After leaving her sister's vision, Wisteria's steps became a little staggering. Yirou's memories of her feelings have always been so real...
But how should I face her and Sister Xuela?
All this made Wisteria very melancholy
Bang!
With a sound, the absent-minded wisteria was knocked to the ground, and a piano fell to him
Ah...I'm sorry!
The familiar female voice said, and then the voice owner picked up Qin Fei and ran away.
This back looks so familiar...
The other party was wearing a veil and was in a hurry again. Wisteria did not see her appearance clearly, nor did she notice the strange expression in the other party's eyes as they looked at each other.
But the hurriedly left always made him feel very familiar, but he also felt something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he couldn't think of it for a moment
Continue to walk into the next garden alone, and finally a familiar figure appeared in front of me
The bright red hair fluttered gently in the breeze, setting off its owner's graceful figure even more charming
Walking slowly, Wisteria tried hard to stop her heart, and she greeted her in her usual voice: Shiori, morning!
Shiori turned around, and Wisteria saw the gentle smile on her face, OK, Hello! Zi Gongzi
Shiori smiled and said that Mr. Zi, she said so naturally, but it made Wisteria sound so awkward
Are you reading a book?
Wisteria noticed that she had a book with a white cover on her hand, and the strange letters of the Western Continent marked the title and author on it. It was the "Democratic Politics Science" by Sograding, an outstanding politician and philosopher in the Western Continent. It was Ah! I was free and had nothing to do,
Shiori replied, in fact, she was a little intentional, in order to provoke some topics without being too embarrassed. It’s a pity that some things are not very clear.
Ah……
Wisteria hesitated for a moment and said: If it is convenient, I wonder if I can sit next to you?
Huh?
Shiori was slightly stunned
Didn’t you say that some things don’t understand?
Wisteria quickly explained: I am more proficient in the language and philosophical thoughts of the Western Continent, just to see if I can help you.
Shiori laughed, thank you so much
Wisteria shook slightly, walked forward quickly, sat side by side with Shiori, but accidentally sat on her skirt. Wisteria hurriedly got up and adjusted, and was rude...
Shiori smiled and shook her head
She turned her head slightly to look at the familiar and strange boy beside her.
In the sun, Wisteria actually found something shiny in Shiori's eyes, and his heart began to beat violently.
Wisteria explained the views in the book in detail, but he used Western languages, and Shiori would also continue talking in unfamiliar Western languages, because everyone knew two things: First, the content he was talking about is definitely a taboo in this country; Second, there are not many people in China who know Western languages, and His Majesty the Emperor would never have thought of sending someone who knows this language to monitor him.
However, Wisteria soon found that she was becoming more and more unable to concentrate. Shiori had a soft smile on her face and a gentle and shy expression in her eyes. She looked at him slightly. This close face made him feel that his heart was about to jump out of her chest. She couldn't help but leaned over a little and said in a low voice: Shiori...
Shiori suddenly realized that the two sides were getting a little too close. A hint of red glow flashed across her face, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she moved a little gently to the side. Mr. Zi... Speaking of which, we used to be together in such a garden, which really makes people miss Ah!
Wisteria was slightly stunned. Her sentence was said in oriental language. He immediately remembered that when he was a child, he did often play with Shiori and his sister in the royal palace garden. He nodded and said with deep emotion: It's Ah! However, this has happened a long time ago...
The distance between the two seemed to be bigger between them and Shiori smiled and said: Did it a long time ago? I don’t think it was just a few years ago!
Wisteria smelled a refreshing fragrance slightly from her nose, and felt her mind feel a little hot again; to be honest, over the years, I am afraid that it is the closest time I am to Shiori
Until this moment, he discovered that Shiori smelled so good
Listening to Shiori's whispers in his ears, he secretly glanced at Shiori: Her breasts were almost perfectly curved.
Wisteria sighed without answering, thinking to herself: It's Ah, it's just a few years ago; but, in recent years, we have all grown up Ah!
Seeing that he did not answer, Shiori asked with a little confusion: What's wrong? Don't you think so?
Wisteria quickly smiled and said: No, I think so too... I just feel a little emotional, time flies so fast...
It's Ah... in a blink of an eye... well...
Maybe he found out that he had missed the topic, Shiori was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this book. To be honest, although it would seem disrespectful to the emperor, I think the equal political system mentioned in it is very good
When it comes to sensitive content, she changed back to Western languages
Equality? Do you think so?
Wisteria also changed
Isn't it?
The so-called equality is actually just the idealized wishful thinking of democrats. People are divided into different levels. Each person's different abilities and status determine that they should not be in an equal position. For example, is Sograd as a philosopher and a beggar equal as he said? Whether in terms of ability or social contribution, if they are really equal, that is the greatest inequality!
Is this how?
Shiori was a little dazed. Everything that Wisteria said was a bit naive about politics. She was so profound. In the past, she always thought Wisteria was just a military genius. Now such a profound political argument also came from his mouth, which surprised Shiori.
Wisteria turned her head and saw the expression on Shiori's face. She was stunned for a moment before answering: Yes, Ah, I'm sorry, it's on a whim...
I was very upset. I wonder if Shiori thought she was showing off something to her on purpose? One was thinking and the other was regretting. The two began to fall into a very embarrassing silence between them.
Time passed little by little in silence, and finally, Wisteria seemed to have made some decision. Looking at Shiori, slowly, word by word: Shiori, that... would you like to be my wife in the future as you said when you were a child?
In an instant, everything in the world seemed to solidify
The girl continued to remain silent, but her expression seemed to be in the corridor of time. Wisteria knew that her words made Shiori recall the time when she was a child and the promises that the children had to speak freely.
He was also waiting in silence, hoping that Shiori now can give him the same answer as he did back then
Time passed by minute by minute, and Shiori's expression gradually became firm. Seeing that her familiar and unfamiliar perseverance slowly appeared in her eyes, Wisteria understood that the girl had a clear answer in her heart.
His heart was beating violently and violently, and the faster he jumped, Shiori, would the answer in your heart bring me into heaven or into hell?
Shiori looked at him quietly and said softly but firmly: Mr. Zi... No, Zi, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to agree for the moment.
Wisteria's body shook, her face turned pale immediately. She glanced at Shiori miserably and said hoarsely: Is that true? Haha, it's still...
Zi, that's not the case! Listen to me and finish Ah!
Shiori stood up suddenly, held him and shouted anxiously
Wisteria was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, grabbed her hand and said tremblingly: So, have you agreed?
Shiori blushed and let him hold his hand. In fact, she really hoped to agree to it, but...
She sighed softly and said: Zi... Sorry, I'm not mentally prepared for these things now... I, I don't know what kind of feelings I have for you now... So, I wonder, can I give me more time?
In the face of helplessness and contradiction, she could only throw out the omnipotent trick. Wisteria stared at the girl's blushing face. The impact of happiness seemed to have caused his IQ to plummet, so she did not notice what was behind the other party's language.
At this moment, he didn't know what he felt in his heart. Although Shiori did not agree to him, he did not refuse.
Most importantly, she returned to her familiar and affectionate name
Shiori's face gradually turned redder, and the palm held by Wisteria struggled slightly. Someone who was slow to react was finally startled and immediately woke up. He hurriedly let go of his hand and said: Shiori, this... I didn't mean it.
The girl shook her head gently, ...It's okay
After a long period of silence, the breath in the garden became strange again Shiori quietly removed her gaze from the wisteria, that, I'll leave first...
Looking at her escaped back, Wisteria's thoughts were tide in her heart, and it was a good start, just like when she first met more than ten years ago. The result should be very good, right?
Bang!
Wisteria walked back with joy, but was knocked down again. It was still a piano that fell beside her, and it seemed that she had just seen it.
Really very sorry!
The apology sound also seemed to have just heard it. Wisteria looked at it. It was the girl who knocked her down before. At this time, she was still wearing a veil.
It's you again... It's such a coincidence!
Wisteria picked up the piano and handed it back to her
Thank you! But it's not a coincidence, it should be fate
Wisteria felt that the other party's voice was a bit strange. It was obvious that it was using internal force to vent the air and hiding its own sound, but the sound was somewhat familiar.
I think it's a bad fate...
Wisteria joked
really……
The girl gave an answer that was quite meaningful and then ran away
……
Looking at the other person's back as he left anxiously, Wisteria finally realized that familiar feeling. What was the girl's voice and back were so similar to Shiori. As for what she thought was wrong at that time, it was her hair. Shiori's hair was red, while hers was brown.
At this time, the Gulf of Qiwojima was filled with smoke and the artillery fire was shaking the sky
This is a rare large-scale artillery battle in the history of mainland wars. Hundreds of artillery fires emitted from the muzzles reflect the red of this once prosperous commercial island port at the intersection of the two countries' territorial seas.
On the water surface of the harbor, on the sea surface, on the land fortress and around the tall fortress, soil splashes, gunpowders rise, and a sea of fire
The navy officers and soldiers of the Yanhuang Empire were very motivated because they had much more artillery than the other. At this moment, the artillery shells fired by the bloody imperial sailors exploded the entire island and the nearby sea.
At the same time, a large number of warships rushed to the beach in artillery fire and rain of fire. Many were ignited and sunk. Not long after, the wreckage of the broken ship wreck had already filled most of the sea in the bay. The sea was not only covered with broken trusses, broken oars, broken wood, but also countless corpses. The water surface was dyed into a sea of blood.
But there were still more warships rushing up to the beachheads behind them
Groups of sailors jumped off their familiar warships. Today they must play the role of the army, holding shields, holding spears, wielding swords, staggering forward on the soft beach, swallowing by arrows, knocking down by gunfire, crushed by artillery fire, stepping on the broken corpses of their companions in front of them, paving the way to the fortress for their comrades behind them with blood.
Landing soldiers struggling in artillery fire and arrow rain complained about the gunners on the warship behind them between death and pain.
But in fact, that's really wronged them
Not long after the war started, the navy's artillery quickly discovered that even though their number of artillery was superior, they were still unable to suppress the opponent's firepower.
At the beginning of the war, Lisas, a major military-industrial power in the West, adhered to its usual principle of neutral merchants and told both countries that they could sell arms.
But Emperor Long Zhengtian of the Celestial Kingdom immediately stated that he did not need inferior things from Western countries. On the contrary, Xie Luzhi made a positive reaction
Therefore, the advanced cannons and muskets produced by the Lisas Tulip Arsenal, which is famous for its outstanding quality and advanced technology, were continuously transported to Xieluzhi.
Now, when the warships of the Nanyang Navy are still equipped with red cannons made of imitating Tulip One cannons ten years ago, the powerful Tulip Three Heavy Cannons and the four quick cannons that use detachable breezes to load quickly
More importantly, under the guidance of the Lisas artillery experts hired, the Xieluzhi artillery soldiers had already weaved a fire net that was enough to make any invading ships scattered from all angles. Any target on the sea, as long as they enter the field of view of the observation platform, will immediately become a shooting element and be hit by the artillery fire accurately and violently.
At this moment, under the fierce bombardment of coastal artillery fire, the warships of the Nanyang Navy were shattered one by one, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere in the explosion.
But the advantage of quantity is still irreversible under this situation. After paying a huge price, the landing naval forces attacked the barriers of the fortress. They roared to the collapsed wreckage that could not be repaired, so without any breathing, the offense and defense entered a state of hand-to-hand combat
The imperial sailors are very motivated, but their killing skills during hand-to-hand combat are under the opponent's professional army, and they have no advantage in fighting.
The defenders also quickly deployed blocking firepower on the broken city walls, especially the intensive shooting of many scorpion crossbows that could be fired quickly from Lisas caused huge damage to the attackers.
The sailors of the empire were undoubtedly brave, but the gap in the city wall was not big, and more people could only stay outside the gap, and the terrain was extremely flat and there was no obstacle to protecting the advance. Under the rainy arrows, the young sailors fell in large numbers, and they were buried forever in this foreign land.
Soon, as the ladder and other equipment were sent to the forefront one after another, the situation improved. The sailors shouted and rushed to the fortress city as they stepped on the ladder.
Countless wooden rolling stones were smashed down from the city wall, and the sailors on the ladder were shot down from the city one after another.
Next to the ladder, the officers were still shouting: Go up! Go up!
More sailors risked their lives to rush up...
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a sound like the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, then a huge fire ball rose in the fortress.
The loud sound and the fierce fireball made the chaotic battlefield silent for a moment, and all the fighting stopped, because the officers and soldiers on both sides didn't know what was going on, and more than 100,000 pairs of eyes were stunned in the thick black smoke rolling towards the sky.
Several unknown gunners and a poorly performing artillery on an unknown Nanyang Navy warship accidentally affected the progress of the entire battle. A shell that completely deviated from its normal flight trajectory because the artillery suddenly exploded after it was fired and flew to a corner of the main fortress's main fortress that was originally outside the range. There was the temporary gunpowder warehouse of the fortress!
Amid the huge explosion and flames, all buildings within a radius of miles were destroyed, and huge fireworks rushed thousands of feet high to explode and destroyed the core artillery of the fortress. Almost all the Xieluzhi artillery and the most important reserve team of the defenders on this fort were blown to death on the spot.
Opportunities must not be missed!
On the flagship in the distance, Deng Shizhong woke up first. He pulled out his sword and roared: Where are the brothers in the Weiying camp?
A group of fierce personal soldiers immediately stood up beside him and shouted: Here!
He shouted again: Follow me!
He personally directed the flagship to rush towards the beach...
In the sunset of dusk, near a reef outside the local military port of Xieluzhi, more than 300 warships were ready to go. This is the secret anchorage of the Xieluzhi joint fleet.
In the flagship conference cabin, the commander of the Joint Fleet Admiral Yamamoto was dressed in a neat military uniform, sitting upright at the admiral's seat, and the generals stood on both sides.
An officer in a warrior dressed in a bloody face hurried in and reported: Admiral, Gunyi Island has changed a lot! Our gunpowder depot was shot and exploded, and the reserve team was martyred. The enemy's offensive became increasingly fierce, and our army was unable to support it for a long time!
Yamamoto used his light to sweep the samurai and said indifferently: How long can the fortress last?
The warrior was stunned and thought about it and replied urgently: At most, he can only hold on for another day!
good……
Yamamoto said ruthlessly: Let them continue to stick to their loyalty to the Emperor! You go down and rest first
The warrior begged for tremblingly: There are 20,000 brothers in the fortress, admiral, you cannot save Ah!
He hissed and begged: Admiral, I will ask you for your brothers on the island...
As he said that, he kowtowed heavily, and the generals sitting beside him looked at him, showing a look of unbearableness.
Yamamoto interrupted him impatiently and took him down!
Two guards immediately came up, held the samurai and dragged it down, struggling and cursing: Yamamoto's old man! If you don't save him, you will be heartbroken! You will not die well...
The lobby is silent, full of murderous aura
Yamamoto was furious and yelled: Kill him!
No!
As soon as the voice fell, the warrior screamed in despair. He suddenly broke free from the guard's arm and grabbed the door. The guard holding a musket at the door immediately opened fire. The warrior's body staggered unwillingly in the sound of the gunshot and murmured vaguely: Don't kill me... Let me return the ball sulfur... Let me die with my brothers...
Gradually lost breath
well……
Yamamoto sighed and ordered, "Restrain and wait until the sulphur is recovered before burying the soldiers on the island with the broken jade!
After saying that, the generals in the inspection said slowly: He just said that the island can last for at most one day, but it can be seen from me. They can't even survive the loss of the ball and sulfur. At the latest, it will be tomorrow morning.
All the generals stood silently
He continued: Therefore, tonight, all the soldiers and horses of all ships fell asleep in advance, and slept well to restore their energy and get up tomorrow at the fifth day of the year, make preparations before the war, and set off at the beginning of the year.
The generals responded in unison: Obey the order!
This governor estimated that the fleet arrived near Kooyi Island at noon. If it arrived, the Yanhuang Nanyang Navy was still near the outer sea. Each ship looked for a hidden anchorage to rest and standby. If anyone went out to fight without authorization, he would be killed immediately!
All the generals were surprised and looked at each other and dared not speak
Yamamoto said: If the enemy navy has entered the port to rest when he arrives, then immediately take the southwest wind to release tung oil fireboats to block the port. Then, each ship shoots the various berths according to the pre-painted berths in the port, and shoots cannons and hunts! Everyone, you must convey the words of this governor to every soldier, and tell them not to care about the gains and losses of Kouyi Island. Our goal is to annihilate the enemy's naval forces. As for the island itself, as long as it has the power to control the sea, it is an isolated island. The enemy troops on it are like their Southeast Army, and it is easy to deal with them when they come back!
********************
At this time, most of the outer defense support points and city walls of the Koiyu Island Fortress had been cleared and occupied. Countless sailors of the Nanyang Navy rushed into the fortress frantically, and the remaining defenders fought desperately in the alleys and buildings. Every house and every inch of the road were repeatedly smeared by both sides with blood...
Deng Shizhong and several deputy generals entered the fortress side by side. Everyone was more or less injured, their faces were covered with smoke and blood.
They walked and looked at the blood that was almost not reaching their ankles, and saw the bodies of sailors and defenders scattered from all directions.
A deputy general said in a hoarse voice: Admiral, the brothers of each ship, probably more than half of them have died or injured.
Um……
Deng Shizhong said thoughtfully: This is not what I am worried about...
