Chapter 213 Attack on Humao City

Because the city of Jinmen was built by the sea, it did not dig a moat outside the city wall, so the sea wolves did not even need to cross the river, so they could directly carry a long ladder to attack under the city wall.

Just as the sea wolf raised the ladder to attack the Acropolis, a white flag was finally raised on the wall. Several officers and soldiers did not know where to find a dirty hundred steps, picked up the long gun, hid behind the city stack, and began to shake crazily.

"Stop fighting! We surrendered! Surrender! The official is dead, let's not fight! Please forgive the good man! ......”

It turned out that when the sea wolf platooned a volley just now, the patrolman commanded in the city was shot on the spot because of a carelessness. This shot just passed through his neck and immediately killed him on the wall. As soon as the rest of the defenders saw that the official was dead, they had no intention to resist. So several soldiers rushed up, tied up a man who was still trying to resist, and then raised the white flag.

It took only one day for the sea wolf to declare the end of the whole attack on Kinmen Island, including the attack on Kinmen City and four patrol cities on the island. After the Jinmen City was broken, the remaining four patrol cities did not make any unnecessary resistance. As soon as the sea wolf troops arrived, they came one after another. Kaicheng surrendered.

The sea wolf also kept their promise. After entering the city, it did not kill people, but just arrested some of the women's soldiers who took advantage of the chaos in the city and cut off their heads.

As for the patrol who led the resistance, although he had been killed, because he violated the intention of the sea wolf, all his family's wealth was confiscated, and two generals who resisted were also arrested and cut off their heads and confiscated their property.

In addition, the sea wolf only entered the city to control thousands of official offices and warehouses in the city and other important places, and confiscated the property in the public. For ordinary soldiers and ordinary people in the city, the sea wolf did not infringe on their property, but ordered them to stay at home without order to go out without order, waiting for the next arrangement.

Yu Xiaotian ordered three platoons of land soldiers on the island. After resting on Kinmen Island for one night, he led the team to the center and left again.

The central and left office is Xiamen Island. After the Ming Dynasty, the government set up a center of thousands of central and left households on the island, which is under the jurisdiction of Yongningwei. It is also the gateway to Zhangquan. In the past, it was highly valued by the government and stationed hundreds of troops here.

However, like other places, the strength of the center and left is no longer as strong as before. There are less than 300 guards left in the center and left, and there are only two warships left.

Such strength is like a fiction in the face of the sea wolf's attack. It is still one day, and the center and left office also declares the fall.

After learning the news of the sea wolf's invasion, they immediately closed the city gate and did not go out. They were so scared that they could only pray secretly that the sea wolf stopped and attack them again.

After Yu Xiaotian led his troops to take the Kinmen Institute and the Central Left Institute, he controlled all the islands in the Weitou Bay area, including the mouth of the Jiulong River, and completely blocked the mouth of the Jiulong River.

After they controlled the mouth of the Jiulong River, Yu Xiaotian finally ordered to attack Haicheng, the famous Yuegang at this time.

At this time, because the government used troops against the sea wolf Nanri Island in the early stage, a large number of merchant ships were sealed and prohibited any merchant ships from going to sea. Hundreds of various merchant ships have gathered in the lunar port.

At this time, the merchants had already learned the news of the defeat of the officers and soldiers on Nanri Island, and even learned the news of the large-scale invasion of the sea wolves. They were already scared to pee.

When the sea wolf attacked Kinmen and the center left, many merchant ships no longer obeyed the orders of the government and began to anchor and sail out of the mouth of the river, trying to escape from this area and temporarily hide elsewhere.

However, these merchant ships that fled first could not escape. Shortly after they sailed out of the mouth of the Jiulong River, they were blocked by the sea wolf warships. The sea wolf ordered these merchant ships not to leave this area, and all of them temporarily sailed to the Kinmen Island wharf to stop, anchored and waited for the landing of the sea wolf.

Any ship that tries to escape will be attacked by the sea wolf and confiscate the ship and all the goods on the ship.

So the blocked merchant ships had to be honestly escorted to the Kinmen Island Pier and temporarily detained there, waiting for the next disposal of the sea wolf.

Yu Xiaotian personally led the fleet in recent days and carried out non-stop operations in the area of Weitou Bay, completely blocking the moon port. However, this time when the sea wolf attacked the moon port, no one in his peers dared to express dissatisfaction, including Chu Cai, who has always regarded Haicheng as a ban, who did not make any statement, as if it was completely I don't know about this.

After the sea wolf soldiers arrived at Weitou Bay, Yan Siqi actually sent ten boats to help the sea wolves block the sea. The standard appearance of a servant army is all the head of the sea wolves.

After Xiaotian completely controlled the whole Weitou Bay, he began to take action against Yuegang. In fact, the geographical conditions of Yuegang are not superior, because it is located inside the mouth of the Kowloon River, the waterway is narrow, and the water depth is not very large, which is not a good condition for the port to open sea.

However, the reason why the Ming Dynasty chose Yuegang as the only foreign maritime trade port was due to their deep consideration. It was precisely because the conditions for Yuegang to go to sea, and it was easier to be controlled by the government than any coastal open port, so the government chose this place as the place to open the port.

And another advantage is that it is deep into the Jiulong River and located on land. In addition to being easy to control, it is also easy to protect.

Although many pirates have wanted to hit the idea of Yuegang since the opening of Yuegang, there are not many pirates who can really break into Yuegang. Chu Cai is always one, and Zheng Yiguan can only be regarded as half. Now that the sea wolf comes, there will naturally be no problem.

When Yu Xiaotian decided to attack Haicheng this time, in fact, the sea wolf had come to Yuegang once. The last time Zheng Yiguan planned to attack Yuegang, he was blocked by Yu Xiaotian and Chu Cailao and Yan Siqi in the surrounding bay and beat him. The sea wolf, Chu Cailao and Yan Siqi also took the sheep and made a fortune in Yuegang. .

So the sea wolf is very familiar with the situation here. After coming here this time, they first sealed the mouth of the Jiulong River and then began to take action against Haicheng.

Because the depth of Yuexi River and the width of the waterway are limited, such as Dafu ships and Western-style large splint ships cannot directly enter the moon port. Even if they can enter, they have to take great risks. Therefore, Yu Xiaotian did not let these heavy fire ships participate, but left them outside. Face, only other ships with smaller hulls were ordered to enter the Moon Stream.

In order to protect the ships entering the Jiulong River, Yu Xiaotian ordered Meng Fei and Liu Tong to lead a land force each. Meng Fei led a land force from the west of the mouth of the Nanxi River, and then follow the fleet on the river all the way to Haicheng.

The other road was led by Liu Tong and landed on Humao Island in the mouth of the river under the escort of the fleet, because there is a Humao City on Humao Island, which was built during the Jiajing period to prevent Japan and prepare for Japan.

This Humao City has some cannons, which can directly threaten the safety of ships sailing on the river. The reason why pirates dare not enter the Moon Harbor to plunder is that they are afraid of being shelled by the defenders of Humao City.

When Chu Cai attacked Haicheng, he also suffered the loss of Humao City, but the last time the sea wolf entered Yuegang, the defenders of Humao City did not dare to act rashly, but this time considering that the sea wolf was a big attack this time, the defenders of Humao City should not dare to sit idly by, so they will definitely take a Some actions to prevent the sea wolf fleet from entering the lunar port.

Therefore, this Humao City was handed over to Liu Tong to solve the problem.

After preparation, Liu Tong landed on Humao Island first. This time, he led two infantry companies, including an elite company equipped with all wolf-tooth rifles, and was also equipped with an artillery platoon carrying two 12-pound mountain howitzers.

Meng Fei led his troops to land on the west bank of the mouth of the Nanxi River, led a battalion and rushed straight to Haicheng. The rest of the fleets were on the river, closely following the land soldiers on both sides, and sailed towards Yuegang under the cover of the land soldiers.

Because it went up against the current and the wind direction was not conducive to sailing, after they entered the Jiulong River, the speed was very slow, which coincided with the actions of the land soldiers on both sides.

At this time, Haicheng County had already received the news that a large number of sea wolves had invaded. The officials who were originally showing off their power in the Moon Harbor suddenly wilted down and fled to Haicheng County one by one. Only about 500 officers and soldiers were responsible for guarding the Moon Harbor.

The defenders and the firearms in their hands do not pose any threat to the sea wolf at all, so there is basically no resistance to the sea wolf attacking the moon port.

The key depends on whether Liu Tong's operation in Humao City is smooth. At this time, there are about 400 officers and soldiers stationed in Humao City. It is Mr. Qian, who is surnamed Cao, who knows that they are in big trouble this time.

The sea wolf invaded the moon port. As the general of Humao city, he has the duty of defending the territory. If the sea wolf is allowed to invade the moon port like last time, I'm afraid he will not want to do it anymore. No one has settled the last thing for him. This time, if he turns a blind eye to it again, then his head is afraid. I'm afraid I'll change places.

So after learning that the sea wolf fleet was going to enter the mouth of the Kowloon River, Mr. Cao Qian hurriedly pulled the garrison in Humao City to the wall, began to control the cannons on the wall, and prepared ammunition to shell the sea wolf fleet entering the Jiulong River at any time.

Whether he can fight or not, he must fight this battle. Even if it's just a show, he must fight a few shots. Of course, Mr. Cao Qian is not self-righteous. He thinks that he can prevent the sea wolf from entering the moon port by doing so, but he must pretend to do so. Son's thing.

Before he was ready, they heard reports from his men that a sea wolf of hundreds of people actually landed on Humao Island and drove towards Humao City.

Mr. Cao Qian panicked as soon as he heard this. He quickly ran to the East Gate and looked outside. At this, his scalp was numb. He saw hundreds of reorganized sea wolves, and their queues had neatly landed in the east of Humao Island and opened towards Humao City.

Humao City is said to be a city, but it is not big. The perimeter of the city wall is only more than 1,000 meters in total. The length of each wall is only more than 400 meters, and the height of the wall is only more than three meters and less than four meters. Although it is masonry, it has been in disrepair, and the walls in many places have cracked, even in previous years because of flood. Because of the water, a section of the city wall was still soaked by the flood, and now it is simply made up with sandbags.

Such a small broken city is almost enough to scare small pirates, but if you want to withstand the attack of the sea wolf, it is a joke.
