Chapter 504: Open the Killing Ring
The whistle of the steam-powered warship of the Ming South China Sea Fleet began to get closer and closer to the city of Relanzha with the whistling of the sea breeze, and the sound was getting heavier and harsh. Ruyi, the governor of the Red Ghost who had retreated to Relanzha, wanted to cover his ears tightly at this time to avoid hearing the proud voices of the Ming Navy that had just occupied Chichi City.
The city of Relanzha, like Chicchi City and Puweimin Cha, are one of several important strongholds built by the Red-haired Ghost after occupying the southern part of Taiwan without authorization. The Governor Lu Yi of the Red-haired Ghost retreated here after the fall of Chicchi City.
Ruyi, the governor of the Red-haired Ghost, thought that the Ming Empire would immediately rest for a while after obtaining Chichicheng, or began to attack from land, or continued to transport large-scale troops to land from Chichicheng, and then sweep on a large scale.
But the Red-haired Ghost Ruyi did not expect that the Ming Dynasty's fleet would still attack from the sea and directly approached the city of Relanzha, which made Ruyi completely lacked the time to strengthen his defense and request reinforcements, so he had to immediately enter a state of preparing for the battle.
The black iron-armored warships, coupled with the two large chimneys that were rolling in the dark, the masts of the hull and the roof of the boat were almost as high as the cliffs on the seaside, which stood thousands of feet high. However, the cliffs would not sway under the attack of the waves. However, these Ming warships swayed with the waves, as if they would smash the turrets set up on the cliffs in Relanzha at any time.
The city of Relanzha is surrounded by water on both sides, which happens to be in a delta area. On one side is facing the sea area and is mountainous. However, a cliff has been formed under the impact of sea water for many years, so there is a natural barrier on this side.
On the other side is the estuary of an inland river, which is a smooth road with beaches and mangroves, and its defense is relatively weak. Therefore, in addition to guarding the Ming army's attack from the land in two directions close to the land, the center of gravity of its coastal defense is placed at the corners of both sides.
On the one hand, there are many reefs at this corner, and once the shelling causes chaos in the enemy ships, it is easy to cause the enemy ships to sink; on the other hand, even if these enemy ships do not sink and sink, they will directly expose the flanks to the guarding turrets when they attempt to land from the shallows opposite the corner, making it easy for the artillery of the guarding turrets to sink in the best direction to invade enemy ships.
It can be said that at this corner is the strongest and best fortress in the city of Relanzha. He can defend the entire city well, which is one of the reasons why the Red-haired Ghost would build the city here back then.
In fact, in the past few years, the Florians or other pirates had intended to attack the city of Relanzha, but most of them had to return in a defeat because of the excellent position of easy defense and difficult attack at this corner.
Even the Zheng Pirate Group, which once dominated the sea, is the same.
Therefore, after seeing so many Ming warships appearing in the nearby waters, it is black and crowded the entire blue sky with no space for white clouds to dwell, the Red-haired Ghost Ghost Governor Lu Yi did not feel completely panic.
He was just a little puzzled, wondering why these Ming fleets would make such mistakes, but he was not in the mood to remind the Ming fleet opposite him that he was confidently giving orders, and fired immediately when the opponent's Ming warships began to turn, and the flanks were all exposed.
At this time, Gu Sanmazi, the general of the fleet who was also standing on the deck holding a telescope to look at the situation opposite, smiled sly and said, "Transfer your life, start turning, and turn a big circle in the northwest direction, then bypass the fort in this area and head straight to the adjacent shallow land!"
After Gu Sanmazi gave the order, a small flag began to dance on the stage. The Red-haired Ghost Governor Lu Yi was overjoyed when he saw this. He thought that these Ming soldiers were indeed going to turn. So he raised his hand involuntarily, preparing to order the artillery immediately when the Ming army's extremely fast flagship turned!
At this time, the flagship where Gu Sanmazi was located was indeed like a horse, suddenly swaying a huge wave several feet high on the sea surface. The bow of the ship suddenly turned about forty-five degrees, and the entire hull swayed up and down.
Immediately afterwards, the flagship, the "Yu Qian", directly cut a thin and long white-sell on the azure sea with the fastest horsepower like an arrow from the string, and its sideways happened to be exposed to the artillery of the turret on the other side.
Other ships also quickly turned around under the guidance of the flagship, and like the flagship "Yu Qian", they drew a large circle on the sea surface. As if the originally calm sea surface was mixed with rough waves and huge waves.
"fire!"
The Red-haired Ghost Governor Ruyi could not suppress his inner excitement and suddenly waved his hand. After his order was issued, there was a hissing sound of a fuse burning, followed by a dense cannon fire pouring towards the opposite sea area. Countless artillery fire fell from left to right and left, and retreated a few times backwards.
The Red-haired Ghost Governor Lu Yi wanted to call the commander of the Ming fleet an idiot, but at the same time he was looking forward to the spectacular scene of these giant steel ships that were hit hard by him under his nose. What he didn't expect was that all he could see was the scene of shells falling into the sea, causing thousands of huge waves.
The Red-haired Ghost Governor Lu Yi did not expect that his new artillery did not hit a Ming warship, nor did he even expect that these Ming ships would go around such a big circle. In such a short time, the inner diameter of the circle was far greater than the range of his artillery.
"Hahaha, grandma, these red-haired ghosts are really loyal. They set off firecrackers so quickly to promote us. We have not occupied the city of Relanzha yet." Gu Sanmazi couldn't help laughing. Regarding the land battle, Gu Sanmazi knew that he was not good at it. His Marines were not good at land landing, but he was not good at conquering the fortress. Therefore, after occupying Chichi City, he still adopted the main offensive method to occupy the city of Relanzha with the coastline attack.
Although Gu Sanmazi was just an ignorant pirate before, he is no longer the Wu Xia Amon of the past, but he can accurately calculate and design tactics. This time, he can design a tactic that can evade artillery in a large circle but can quickly turn corners and land in shallows based on the speed of his own ship and the range of the opponent's artillery.
"If you pass the order, immediately change the course to thirty degrees southeast, cut directly into the opposite coastline. Be sure to successfully land at the fastest speed, and the Marine Corps are ready!"
Shortly after Gu Sanmazi said, hundreds of Ming ships quickly turned their direction again, and directly tore open the flat and waveless sea surface like hundreds of sharp swords falling from the sky. The rumbling sound became even more intense, like thunder.
"No, they want to go around and grab the beach and land directly!"
The Red-haired Ghost Governor Lu Yi suddenly realized this, and his whole face turned dark in an instant. He now wanted to swallow the commander of the Ming fleet opposite him by himself. He actually took advantage of his fast speed and bullied his artillery range, and directly bypassed his carefully designed defense and turned to the other side.
Lu Yi knew very well that once these Ming troops were around the corner, they would only encounter a shallow, and there was almost no danger there, so the Governor Lu Yi immediately led the army and ran towards this side quickly without thinking.
But in fact, after the Red-haired Ghost Governor Lu Yi reacted at this time, the Marines of the Ming South China Sea Fleet had successfully seized the beach and had reached hundreds of steps in the inland coast. In addition, other navies also landed onshore one after another.
Of course, although it is said that there is no danger here, there are actually several fortresses and forts. However, because there is no danger in this area, the Marines can easily enter and make breakthroughs.
By the time the Governor General arrived, almost all the forts and fortresses on this side had been distributed, almost all of the Ming Marines had been occupied.
Seeing this, the Governor Lu Yi had to retreat to the city of Relan, but Lu Yi was also a commander who was only used to sea combat, so he didn't know how to defend the city or what extent it was.
The Governor Lu Yi could only stay in the city of Jelanzha and was already in a hurry to go around, but the army on the Ming Dynasty had completely landed and began to surround the city of Jelanzha one after another.
However, the Navy of the Ming South China Sea Fleet was not in a hurry to launch the attack of Raranzha City, but was waiting for news from Chichi City. Because before, considering the future recovery of Wanwan Island, this important and large-scale important stronghold, the Ministry of War transferred an Imperial Guard infantry army and a cavalry army according to Zhu Youxiao's instructions to assist the Navy in unifying the entire Taiwan 0 Bay.
In fact, the advancement of the Imperial Guards on the land was not slow. When the main force of the Ming fleet was about to successfully land on the beach, the infantry and cavalry of the Imperial Guards here had overcome the seasickness problem on the ship and quickly penetrated into the vicinity of Relanzha City.
At this time, in order to better protect the city of Gelanzha, the governor of the Red-haired Ghost, Lu Yi, had already dropped all the armed forces of the Red-haired Ghost defending the outside world back to the city of Gelanzha, so that the infantry and cavalry of the Imperial Guards could quickly and smoothly encircle the city of Gelanzha.
The cannons used for siege were transported over one after another, and the accompanying flight camps had also begun to climb over the city of Relanzha with gliders and single-person aircraft and hot air balloons, but because of the strong wind, there was no direct poisoning bomb.
However, bombing was inevitable. A shell fell down and completely destroyed a church opposite. The Red-haired Ghost Ghost Ruyi, who was almost blown up, was almost scared to death.
The red-haired ghost Luyi was also surprised at this time. He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty was so powerful. Not only did it have an iron-armored warship, it could also allow the army to fly around the world. In this way, almost all the world and people could be attacked by the Ming army.
So, before the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to negotiate, the red-haired ghost Luyi took the initiative to hang up the white flag and requested surrender.
This surprised Gu Sanmazi. They did not expect that these red-haired ghosts would surrender so quickly, which made the Ming army was wasting this march in vain.
But what Ruyi, the governor of the Red-haired Ghost, did not expect was that even if he had submitted his job search materials, he would still be directly dismissed and even trampled under his feet.
Seeing this, Gu Sanmazi was in a bad mood, so he simply ordered the army to directly attack the city, and after siege the city, he directly killed these red-haired ghosts without leaving a living mouth.
Because according to the latest regulations, the enemy troops occupying the Ming territory without authorization could not be kept easily, so when Gu Sanmazi asked to offer Relanzha City in Luyi to surrender, Gu Sanmazi refused the surrender and directly started bloody revenge.
Ruyi, the governor of the Red-haired Ghost, would not have thought that this Eastern Civilization Empire would suddenly become so fierce, but when he saw these people stabbing sharp spears into the chests of those who had no fighting will, his heart was already in pain.
Gu Sanmazi ordered the new recruits to be in front and veterans to be in the back, and each recruit must kill a red-haired ghost and use it to train them to show courage.
For this reason, at this moment, at Relanzha City, you can easily see countless red-haired ghosts kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the Ming soldiers standing in front of them, or some red-haired ghosts were chased by the Ming soldiers, running away from wolves and rats.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had already transformed into demons and would hunt them without hesitation, just as they hunted the mountain tribe when they just arrived here.
"Anyone who occupies half an inch of my Ming Dynasty must not be kept. Although the red-haired ghosts in Relanzha City have been killed, it is difficult to ensure that these red-haired ghosts will not be hidden in the surrounding forests and mountains. Therefore, from now on, we must be prepared to clear them immediately."
Gu Sanmazi kicked down a tall red-haired ghost, then directly killed the man with one sword, and stepped on him, giving his orders with great enthusiasm.
At this time, Governor Lu Yi was also taken to Gu Sanmazi. When Gu Sanmazi saw this Governor Lu Yi, he was quite interested in slapping Lu Yi's fat face with the command knife in his hand, and asked:
"Grandma, who made you so brave enough to offend my Ming territory? Not only that, but also torture and kill the local people here in the Ming Dynasty. Since that's the case, you guys don't think about leaving here alive today!"
As Gu Sanmazi said, he suddenly stabbed the Governor Lu Yi's left abdomen and twisted it a few times. The Governor Lu Yi screamed in pain, dripping blood, but at this time, Gu Sanmazi suddenly pulled out the knife and entered the Governor Lu Yi's right abdomen.
Then there was another chest. After a long time, the red-haired ghost Luyi, who had been stabbed many times, was stabbed many times. Anyway, he was already full of holes and had completely died.
"Send your mission and continue to search and suppress. You are not allowed to let anyone who dares to stay on this island. If you encounter it, you will definitely kill him!"
After Gu Sanmazi said that, he wiped the blood from the command knife with the hem of his clothes and went directly into the city of Relanzha. At this time, the city of Relanzha was almost full of red-haired ghosts who were being chased by Ming soldiers and ran around.
The red-haired ghosts who colonized the world would never have expected that they would be retaliated against such a blow, and the fundamental reason for this is that they provoked the Ming Dynasty.
