Chapter 211 Weitou Bay
As soon as the beacon ignited the beacon on the other side of the head, there was also a patrol city on Jinmen Island, and immediately learned the news. Several beacons on the shore soon saw the sea wolf fleet appearing on the north coast of the island, so they immediately ignited the beacon.
At present, it is just a patrol, because the Qianzong who entered the Qianhu Institute is not in the city of Jinmen at this time, and this Qianzong was transferred by Yu Zhigao this time and went to Nanri Island with the army, but now his life and death are uncertain, and he can only sit here by this inspection for the time being.
It turned out that when the Qianhu of Jinmen was first built during the Hongwu period, there were still hundreds of officers and soldiers living on the island. However, with the passage of time, the number of guards in the Qianmen Institute became smaller and fewer, including those who escaped and some of them were extinct, which made the Jinmen Qianhu in vain when it came to the Apocalypse. There are less than 300 guards left in the house, but this time Yu Zhigao led the army to fight and transferred more than 100 people from here, leaving less than 200 guards on the whole Kinmen Island.
These guards are soldiers. In fact, they are basically the serfs of officers. They are just a reputation as soldiers. They are not even as good as ordinary people. They have been stripped by their superiors for generations, and the officers of the guard office, after so many years of hereditary succession, are already few who can do martial arts. So few, they have fundamentally become some landlords who have failed to work in the military.
Therefore, the health center system has collapsed in this year, so that the health centers in various places have basically lost the ability to fight, and even the fighting power of some villages and towns themselves is not as good as the villagers.
When he learned that the sea wolf fleet appeared near Kinmen Island, the left-behind patrol was so scared that he quickly ordered the gates on all sides of the guardhouse to be closed and gather the guards to garrison the city. In fact, he did not expect these guards to stop the attack of the sea wolf. In fact, what he hoped for was that the sea wolf did not come to attack this time. Hit Kinmen Island.
As we all know, the current Haicheng is also the Moon Port, which is the only officially opened foreign trade port of Daming, so it has always been the attention of pirates. However, as the gateway to Haicheng, there are thousands of Jinmen and the central and left places, but they are not valued by pirates.
The center and Kinmen Island have also become temporary resting points for pirates. Even at ordinary times, pirate ships will go to the side to take shelter from the wind. The local defenders not only do not expel them, but also facilitate some transactions with pirates to provide some supplies and fresh water for pirates.
So the current inspection guarding Kinmen Island has never thought of guarding the city of thousands of households in Kinmen, but secretly prayed that the sea wolf came here this time for Yuegang and would not provoke them.
However, the people of Jinmen Qianhu Institute obviously made a mistake in their calculation. The sea wolf's fleet did not bypass Kinmen Island, went straight into the Beido Bay and went to the Moon Port. Instead, they rushed straight to Kinmen Island and stopped the ship on the shore. Some flying fast boats quickly bypassed Kinmen Island and entered the Beido Bay, and began to expel Qing. Except for the ships on the sea in this area.
Soon, the sea wolf began to unload a batch of sea wolves from the big ship. Obviously, these sea wolves are a group of very well-trained personnel. Although the sea wolves docked, there is no dock, and the people basically use small boats to ferry the shore, but from afar, you can see that the sea wolf is unloaded. The personnel are well organized and move very quickly.
And several troop carriers of the sea wolf had rope nets on both sides of the side of the ship. The personnel climbed down along the rope net with their own equipment, quickly went down to the boat, and then quickly ferryed to the shore.
The people who came ashore first immediately dispersed, controlled the surrounding commanding heights, and quickly took down a beacon nearby. Several of the soldiers in the beacon did not resist at all, so they were arrested by the sea wolf and escorted to the shore to begin interrogation.
In just a moment, the sea wolf crew controlled a large area at the beach and cleared all obstacles for the subsequent landing personnel. Some boats patrolled along the coastline and were ready to support the landing personnel at any time.
The subsequent landing personnel landed in an orderly manner. The fleet also used a large sampan, unloaded two cannons, and sent them to the shore. They were dragged by the manpower of the sea wolf department. After forming a team, they quickly traveled to the city of Jinmen Qianhu.
The number of sea wolf landing personnel is not large, only about 300, that is, a sea wolf infantry company added an artillery platoon, but such a force still far exceeds the number of officers and troops stationed in Qianhu, Kinmen.
When he saw that the sea wolf began to land and traveled towards the city of thousands of households in Kinmen, the patrol was scared to death and quickly greet the officers and soldiers in the city and the young men to garrison to prepare for resistance against the invasion of the sea wolf.
However, their layout has not been completed. Two Western-style large splint boats of sea wolves have approached the shore of the city of Jinmen Qianhu. In addition, two Dafu boats also sailed to the city of Jinmen Qianhu. The guns on the side of the ship were opened one after another, and the muzzle of a cannon was pushed to the gun door and pointed to Thousands of households in Kinmen.
As the gateway to Haicheng, the Jinmen Qianhu City is regarded as an important place for soldiers, and the government also attaches great importance to it. Recently, the Hongyi cannon purchased by the government also sent a door to Jinmen Qianhu Institute.
And this Hongyi cannon is a heavy gun, which is about the concept of an 18-pound cannon. The gun body is very heavy, up to about 3,000 catties, and it is a cast iron cannon.
But the problem is that the cannon was just a few days after it was transported to the city of Qianhu in Kinmen. Just two days before the sea wolf came here, it was hoisted to the fort of the city wall.
Now that the gun had not completed the training at all, and before the gunner had time to test the gun, the sea wolf rushed to Kinmen Island. Looking at so many ships of the sea wolf, there were even two large Western-style splint boats. The garrison here had long been scared. Although the patrol shouted for his officers and soldiers to prepare to fire, Those officers and soldiers all flinched, but no one dared to touch the red cannon.
Because everyone saw that the sea wolf approached the several large ships on the shore, which were loaded with a lot of cannons. They could only use such a Hongyi cannon. The largest of the remaining cannons were two copper. Speaking of which, the copper was not small, but the range was limited and the power was not great, and the rest were a few Compared with the fleet of sea wolves, their firepower is too weak.
If they usually scare small pirates, their cannons can still play a little role, but if they want to fight with sea wolves, they have no confidence at all.
The sea wolf landed quickly advanced about three or four miles outside the city of Jinmen Qianhu. They temporarily stopped moving and began to rest on the spot, but sent a man to the south gate of Qianhu City and stood outside the gate facing the city with a The loudspeaker shouted, "The people inside listened. We are sea wolves. Now we come here to get it. Within a quarter of an hour, we will decide whether it is a battle or a surrender. Two quarter of an hour later, if you can't wait for the city to surrender, we will start to attack. At that time, we will attack the city and kill you and wait for a chicken and dog!
As long as you surrender, we can guarantee that no one will be killed, and your property will also be protected. The sea wolf does what it says! Don't hesitate, surrender quickly! We are only waiting for you for two quarters. It's out of date!"
As soon as the words fell, the sea wolf members did not hesitate to turn around and leave. They didn't even have time to report to the officers and soldiers stationed in the city, so they ran back to the main battle of the sea wolf landing force.
At this time, the inspector in the city looked pale, afraid on the one hand and angry on the other. He felt that although the sea wolf was powerful, it was too arrogant to make them surrender within a quarter of an hour, which was simply unacceptable! After all, they represent officials, and sea wolves are thieves. How can an official surrender to a thief so easily?
But what can you do if you don't surrender? He just sent several people to escape to the shore to drive a small boat, so that he quickly went to Tong'an County on land to ask for help, and reported to Yuegang, asking his colleagues from Yuegang to send someone to help.
But soon he heard a few cannons on the southwest sea of Qianhu City, and a sharp-eyed man immediately pointed to the sea and shouted, "Your Excellency! The sea wolf sank the ship we sent out!"
Everyone stared at it. Sure enough, there were a few smoke on the sea. The boat that quickly escaped from Kinmen Island had capsized in the sea by this time, and there was little chance of survival for the people on the boat to survive.
Looking around Kinmen Island, it has been blocked by various ships of sea wolves at this time. At the west dock of Kinmen Island, sea wolf boats also appeared, and several sea wolf boats began to fire one after another there.
On the dock on Kinmen Island, three small and medium-sized warships, as well as more than a dozen fishing boats and two merchant ships, are being bombarded by sea wolves.
Some of the ships on the dock wanted to pull anchor and sail to escape from here, but before they left the dock, they were hit by cannons one after another. They had to anchor and hang white flags again. The ships docked on the dock did not dare to act rashly, and could only be honestly taken over by the people sent by the sea wolf.
At this time, Kinmen Island has been completely blocked by the sea wolf fleet and has become an isolated island. It is basically impossible to get the support of reinforcements, because after the end of the Nanri Island War, there are not many officers and soldiers that Fujian can take out now, and the Kinmen around Weitou Bay , Zhongzuo Institute, Gaopu Institute, Fuquan Institute, and even Yongningwei and Chongwu Institute do not have many garrisons now. I'm afraid that the garrisons in these places will not exceed 2,000.
So self-defence is still insufficient everywhere, and there is a lack of warships, so there is no possibility to rescue Kinmen.
