Chapter 47 Yunwen’s diplomatic remarks

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty really lived up to the world's number one name.

Especially this short-barrel artillery that charges with the infantry, although the range is only two miles, its convenience and speed are incomparable to any artillery.

The tall Yunzhen commanded the artillery troops in this army. There was no need to even look for the other party's artillery positions on the battlefield, because the continuous thick smoke was enough for him to know that it was the artillery position.

This short-barrel artillery, called the tiger squat cannon, was placed in a hidden place and adjusted the angle slightly, and immediately a gunman loaded a shell with a tail wing into the tiger squat cannon.

With a "bang", a black dot rushed up to the sky. In an instant, it exploded in the place with the densest smoke on the opposite side.

Yun Zhen was overjoyed and pulled out his long sword and pointed at the first tiger squat cannon, signaling the rest of the artillery to follow up.

Seeing the more dense explosions coming from the opposite side, Yunwen led the army to a clearing ground.

“Quickly pass, fast pass, don’t stay.”

Yunwen shouted loudly, taking the lead in pushing forward quickly.

At this moment, a team of British infantry wearing bright red clothes and high hats suddenly took neat steps and appeared in front of the cloud pattern under the guidance of a soldier blowing a bagpipe.

Seeing these people raising their guns and aiming forward, the Yun clan soldiers were already lying on the ground in accordance with Cao Dian. Both sides fired guns at almost the same time. The lead bullets shot from the British smoothbore guns flew where they were, while the bullets of the Yun clan soldiers greatly injured the British.

Yunwen was surprised to find that these British soldiers in red uniforms ignored their companions who were lying on the ground, but stood up straight, stood upright, poured gunpowder into the barrel, then stuffed the lead bullet into it, pulled out the strip and inserted it into the barrel, tamped the gunpowder and lead bullet tightly, then pulled out the strip, inserted it back to its original position, raised the gun to shoot, and repeated this.

Their movements were neat and skillful, but during the time they were preparing, the Yun clan soldiers had fired three shots.

When the British army fired the first shot, the gunshots were as dense as fried beans, and when the British army fired the second shot, the gunshots were sparse. When the British army fired the third shot, there was only a few chats left.

Yun Wenyan watched the British army on the opposite side fall to the ground, and was overjoyed, and jumped up again and said, "Continue to charge."

The easy killing of the opponent greatly increased the morale of these Yun clan soldiers, like a black torrent of steel passing through this flat and narrow area.

Grenades, artillery, and the rapid advance of black troops continued to spread on the emerald green islands, and the place that was eroded by the black torrent was in a mess and a fire.

The soldiers of the Yun clan never had the idea of ​​pitying ammunition. They threw grenades into the house when they encountered a house. When they encountered an enemy army, the Yunzhen people would throw shells on their heads.

The British often can only give Yun clan soldiers certain casualties in the first round of attacks. Unfortunately, before they can start the second round, they will be strangled completely by the fierce guns and bullets of the Yun clan soldiers.

The sun had already set, and a castle suddenly appeared in front of Yunwen's eyes.

This is Raymond's Governor's House on West Island.

Yunwen did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered his subordinates to use rifles to suppress the firepower at the city. Yunzhen continued to bombard the castle made of stone with cannons. In an instant, this beautiful castle also fell into the sea of ​​fire.

A heavy cannon fell from the city wall and hit the ground heavily. Then, a larger explosion broke out on the city wall.

Yunwen looked at the flying stones and artillery parts and said to Lao Zhou who was standing in front of him: "They weren't putting gunpowder on the top of the city, right?"

Old Zhou snorted, "This is something that can only be thought about after the war. Now we must seize the time to break through this fortress."

The sound of shelling on the sea became increasingly dense. Yunzhen pushed a light cannon over. The barrel of this cannon was flat, completely different from the tiger squat cannon. After the muzzle was aimed at the solid city gate, Yunzhen pulled the rope with his own hands. With a thunderbolt, the solid gate had been blown open a hole. Then, countless grenades were thrown into the hole.

A dense explosion sound came from behind the gate, and Yunzhen's artillery also took the opportunity to bombard two cannons at the city gate. After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the broken castle gate had already fallen to the ground, revealing the messy corpses in the cave in the city gate.

When Old Zhou saw Yunwen rushing forward again, he dragged him down and said, "You won't need you at this time."

Sure enough, the well-trained Yun clan soldiers had already raised their shields and rushed into the city gate shouting.

"Occupy the commanding heights, set up a forward position, and tigers squat and cannons go up to the city wall."

Yun Wen shouted in a mess, not knowing whether his subordinates had heard him clearly, but what he said had been carried out by his subordinates.

Yunwen looked at the men, women, and children running around in the castle, and couldn't help laughing: "Finding Raymond, I want his head."

Old Zhou shouted, and more than ten big men came over quickly to protect the cloud patterns in the middle. Their muzzles were outwards, monitoring the possible enemies in every direction.

To be honest, Lao Zhou did not have any joy of victory for more than 3,000 people to capture an island. If an army with such an advantage fails to face people with much worse armed forces than them, it would be unreasonable.

For him, he has obtained too many military achievements over the years. If something happens to the young master in the crowd, the consequences may be even more serious than defeat.

The gunshots at the back of the castle seemed to be very dense. Lao Zhou knew that the black helpers in Lao Chang were attacking the castle from another direction. The British soldiers guarding the castle knew that the gate in front had been captured, but they were not in chaos and were still fighting hard.

The Yun clan soldiers in black uniform knocked down every British man they met with guns, tied up every British woman they met with and children.

They searched and advanced, throwing bombs into every room, so the magnificent British Governor's House was like a blasting construction site, with explosions one after another.

When Yunwen came to Raymond's study, the largest British official in the Far East sat quietly on a chair. His hair was not messy at all. There was a shelf on the side of his left hand, with a silver-white wig hanging on it. On the side of his right hand, a short musket was placed. However, the gunpowder and lead bullets inside the musket had been poured out by the Yun clan soldiers who came in first and placed on the table.

In Raymond's right-hand seat, he was sitting with a wig, who thought he was wearing a wig. He seemed very quiet, holding a teacup in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.

An officer of the Yun clan soldier whispered in Yunbian's ear: "The French Governor, Jean Pierre, is a guest."

Yunwen nodded and came to Pierre and said, "Mr. Governor, now, I have some very personal words to discuss with Governor Raymond. I wonder if the Governor can go outside the door to review the brave soldiers of the Ming Empire?"

Pierre smiled and said, "This is my honor, [     www.biqugew.me] Young Colonel, can I be honored to know your name?"

After listening to the interpretation, Pierre put down the teacup, stood up and bent down slightly and said.

Yunwen laughed and said, "I have a noble surname - Yun, my name is Yunwen!"

Even if he did not interpret this sentence through translation, Pierre was still surprised. He knew that in the Ming Dynasty in the east, the Yun surname often represented the royal family.

So he bent down again and said, "It's a great honor."

After saying that, he took his adjutant away from Raymond's study.

When Pierre left, Yunwen came to Raymond, who was sitting on the chair. He first fiddled with the wig he placed on the table and said, "My uncle called the Sun King of France, and he also said that this name may also be the title of France's current little emperor.

My uncle also said that the reason he called Louis XIII the Sun King was entirely because he had a bald head that could rival the sun!

In order to cover up his bald head, he made other people's hair woven into wigs and put them on.

Then, Mr. Raymond, you are not bald, why do you have to wear a wig?”

Raymond did not respond to the frivolous language of Yunwen, but said in a deep voice: "This wig is a gift from Governor Pierre to me. I like it very much. If the young Mr. Colonel is interested in this wig, then take it away."

Yunwen shook her head and said, "What I said to you just now is the words my dear uncle mocked my majestic father, because my father is also a bald man, but his bald man is the most important symbol of glory in his life and a by-product brought to him by a great victory.

So he hates any wigs, including the French wigs that the damn General Han Xiufen specially sent to him. He always said that there was a smell of dead people on it."

As the gunshots outside the study gradually subsided, Raymond couldn't help but sigh: "Dear uncle, majestic father, can you say that you are a prince of the Ming Empire?

It is really rare for a prince who leads his army and participates in front-line wars."

Yun Wen smiled and said, "I have two princes and brothers. They don't participate in the war. As for me, I have a dear uncle, it's entirely because my uncle never beats me, and my father's only way to teach me is to beat me. Therefore, there is nothing difficult to understand."

Raymond looked at Yunwen and said, "I think I already know whose offspring you are, but you have won, and the time for the tide is coming, why are you wasting your time here?"

Yunwen sighed and said, "Our navy is fighting your navy. If I can't get on the ship at low tide, it will be very troublesome. However, I found a lot of gold, a lot of gold in your warehouse.

As a child of the royal family, I think it would be a good deal for the Navy to support more time so that I can send away the gold and silver coins here."
