Chapter 333 Approximate exercise

The Xia family and the Jiang family had an alliance for a period of time. Xia Qingjiao thought he had a certain understanding of the strength of the Jiang family's fleet at that time.

However, after the two sides disconnected, there was no new progress in the Xia family's judgment on the understanding of the Jiang family's ships. In this era, the so-called intelligence work is actually a joke, and Jiang Feng's new ship is basically near, so although rumors are flying all over the sky, there is little understanding of the real situation.

But Zheju Zhongshou knew how powerful Jiang Feng was. Nearly 600 of his subordinates were wiped out by Jiang Feng in the land battle, and all of them lost their heads.

So after the two of them made a provocation, the defense on Damen Island was extremely tight. Except for the necessary ports and docks, the remaining ground was covered with high fortresses and fortifications, which made landing almost impossible. Of course, the level of defense was built according to the standards of this era.

Although it was ready, the situation on the island was still full of joy. The merchants from all walks of life were really full of Luo Yi. Everyone wanted to come here for convenience. When they were sailing the next year, they were more peaceful on the sea. Among the Xia family, many people were still dissatisfied with Xia Qingjiao's seizure of power, but seeing that he was so prosperous, he gradually changed his mind.

Autumn in southern Zhejiang is actually the best season here, and the good weather is the most pleasant.

The entire Damen Island was still in chaos, but this time it was not the merchants who came, but the fleet of the Jiang family army, the Shunfeng and Huifeng, as well as five gunships of about 350 tons, and twenty sailing ships of about 100 tons.

The people on the island of Damen were stunned. They knew that Jiang Feng might come to attack, but they didn't expect that they would come to the door so openly.

The water on the two wharfs on the island is not too deep, so the two ships that can be called giant ships cannot get too close. However, Jiang Feng was not in a hurry. He just sent the Xia family's children who followed Xia Cuiyu to take a small boat to persuade them to surrender. The conditions proposed were very simple, and the most evil must be done and no matter what.

Although this condition is simple, it is also very harsh. Who is the main evil on the island? One is Xia Qingjiao, the head of the Xia family, and the other is Zheju Zhongshou, the leader of the Japanese pirates. These two people control the force on the island and naturally will not hand over themselves honestly.

If the Xia family had not been sent to be considered as the closest branch of Xia Qinglong's house, they would have been cut off by the furious Xia Qingjiao and Zhe Ju Zhongshou. After the person was released, the Xia family would not pay much attention to it, and more than twenty small boats were put down directly.

This is also a suitable method. The distance between Damen Island and Yueqing is somewhat close to the inland sea. It has always been calm and quiet. The large ships in Jiangfeng rely on the wind, but they are not as flexible and rapid as small boats. The wind and waves are always strong near Linjia Island, so the boats suffered a lot at that time, but the situation here in Damen Island is different.

Xia Qingjiao and Zheju Zhongshou both judged clearly in the fortress in the distance. As long as these small boats approached, although the big boats could not climb up, there should be no problem with those small boats that seemed to be transporting troops. Moreover, these small boats were placed with bows and arrows and braziers. In the era of wooden boats, flames were the nemesis.

Agaya looked back and forth at the water surface. The hull was slightly undulating and the sea surface was very stable. Agaya spoke loudly and shouted a few words at the flag bearer on the boat building, of course in Chinese. The flag bearer nodded and immediately passed the message through a series of actions.

When the five large ships approached the Daemun Island port, they had already adjusted the position of the ship. In other words, they were surrounded by an arc.

On the mudflats and coasts to the north, even if the people on the island want to run, they can only get on a small boat, which is called a lamb to be slaughtered. The leaders on the island also understood this situation, so they just stayed on the island and didn't go out, and tried to fight each other.

Seeing the flag slogan, the people on the five large ships began to get busy. The five ships did not have any artillery of too large caliber. The biggest one was just a nine-pound cannon, but at least three-pound cannons.

The baffles on one side of the hull were opened one after another, revealing a dark muzzle. Now the distance between the two sides at sea was still far beyond the range of the bows and arrows, so the people on the boat were still rowing desperately, but the distance between the cannons was enough.

With a roar, a shell was fired from the cannon and landed on the edge of a small boat without any accuracy, smashing into the sea, causing quite a splash of water.

The members of the boat who were originally nervous when they looked at the dark muzzles on the ship, and the members of the boat were relieved, but this mood did not last long. Then a ship shook violently, and the exposed muzzles emitted fire at the same time or in sequence.

More than twenty shells fell down, but this time it was quite accurate. The people on the dozen small boats that were closer were hit by the shells and fell from the boat. After the small boat was hit by the shells, they sank directly.

Of course, these people didn't know that the first shell was to determine the position and angle. After a little adjustment, the rest of the artillery fire came over. It was not too far away. The targets of more than twenty small boats were not too small after they gathered together.

Since it was an expedition, we would not carry too many shells. Moreover, the gunman looked at the sea water with distress. More than twenty shells with lead-iron fused together were definitely unable to be recovered. Thanks to just one ship firing, otherwise wouldn't it be a big loss? More than twenty small boats there, to be precise, there are only a dozen small boats left, but I was frightened and thought that if several ships fired together, would it be better to have it?

The boat was indeed very fast on such a calm sea, almost twice as fast as when charging, and rowed back towards the port. The people above didn't even want the boats, and even rolled and crawled to the port and ran in without looking back.

Then, the people who looked at the port on the boat could no longer see anything living, and Jiang Feng stood on the side of the boat. The anger that was originally at the Incheon Port has now disappeared. All that is left is a working attitude, which is to eliminate the forces that challenge themselves at sea and take this force under his command. Now he is just a calm judgment. Zhang Liang, who is standing beside him, was already a little anxious, and shouted with Agaya next to him:

"Old Ah, have these bastards on the island gone around the back? Don't let them go into the sea!"

Agaya over there is not the ragged captain who was back then. She is dressed quite well and her face is shaved cleanly. After hearing this, she smiled and said:

"Little General, if the enemy reaches the sea, their experience will be even more miserable than on the shore. They must know this."

After a few glances, Jiang Feng slapped the boat with his hand and shouted:

"Zhang Liang, you bring a thousand people ashore and bring the cannons on the warships!"

After hearing what he said, Zhang Liang agreed excitedly, and Zhang Liang's guards came to help him with the iron armor on the ship. He put down the boat on the Shunfeng and pulled Zhang Liang to the ship.

The so-called troop transport ship is the armed merchant ship of the past. Now each ship has only four cannons, two of which can still be disassembled.

The flag language passed on Jiang Feng's orders, and twenty soldiers slowly drove closer to the port. The people hiding in the bunker in the distance of the port suddenly became anxious and sent a small boat to test it. The other party's naval army was powerful, and they originally wanted to continue to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle.

The other party's ship came here from a distance, and supplies were all problems. If they were in stalemate there, they would find a way after the other party left. The people on the island of Damen never thought that the other party would really come here, or that they would really come here so soon, and that it was extremely close to the Ming continent.

It is too bold to come back in the situation in Dengzhou Jiang Family Army, but looking at the warships that were about to drop the boards, the people hiding on the shore were suddenly anxious and were about to get ashore. Seeing that the big ships with cannons behind were not moving, they suddenly became energetic.

Hearing a shout, hundreds of people over there were already standing up from their hidden hideout with swords and guns, and howled and rushed over. However, they forgot that although the cannons on the warship were small, they were also considered cannons, and they were relatively light-weight small cannons. The sailors on each ship quickly aimed the loaded cannons at the rushing crowd.

"Crash! Crash!" More than a dozen muffled sounds, and iron balls visible to the naked eye flew over. Because they were all small cannons of about one pound, the sound was not too powerful, but these high-speed iron balls were still powerful enough for people.

After a scream, more than a dozen people fell down, and the rest were stunned. Then someone shouted a few times. The people rushed up again, and the shouting was actually Japanese. These people were obviously the Japanese pirates under Zheju Zhongshou. They probably still couldn't fire the second wave of shells for a while, so there was no need to worry if they hit them in front of them.

Zhang Liang was the first to stand on the shore. The musketeers had not lined up yet. The people who came ashore first were spearmen, and there were only about 150 people. However, he didn't care at all. Instead, he felt that the blood was getting hot all over his body, so there was no fight...
