Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 248 Slap
At noon, the Battle of Haojingao started.

The Ming army launched an attack from the south first, and Shi Lang sent thirty warships to ride the waves.The warships approached the harbor and lined up in a row, with one side of the hull facing the island directly, adopting battle line tactics and launching fierce shelling.

The huge and dense artillery sounded one after another, which alarmed the defenders on the island, and also alarmed a group of albatrosses perched on the rocky wall on the shore.

This group of albatrosses was frightened by the earth-shattering artillery sound, and they flew into the sky anxiously.They felt the scorching airflow, and saw the surrounding debris explode and fly, like a doomsday scene.

The lead bird flapped its wings and neighed sharply, beckoning its companions to climb rapidly into the sky.It tried its best to maintain the majesty and calmness that a leader should have, its white feathers fluttered, and its pink beak opened and closed.

Under the leadership of the leader bird, the group of albatrosses finally hovered to high altitude without any danger, avoiding the attack of artillery fire.

Looking down from the air, they first saw thick smoke rising into the sky and flames rising in the harbor. It was the Portuguese ships moored on the shore that were on fire.

Then he looked into the distance, and saw many warships lying across the sea, which seemed endless.

At the same time, the St. Francis Fort on the island began to fight back, and all the cannons in the fort roared like a beast spewing poisonous flames from its mouth.

Raindrops of cannonballs fell into the sea, stirring up tall and thick water columns.The water column rose into the sky, causing the frightened albatross to circle higher.

The lead bird's chirping became more urgent and sharp. It warned its companions that they could not stay in this place, and it took the lead in gliding and escaping to the interior of the island, away from the coast.

This group of albatross fled to Mazu Pavilion in a panic. Just as they were about to land on the roof to rest for a while, they heard more intensive and harsh gunshots.

Those warships straddling the ocean adjusted their direction and sailed into the harbor. Many people jumped off the boat one after another, stepping on the sea water in the shoal, rushing towards the shore with a splash, holding a slender fire-breathing thing in their hands.

The island was also noisy and noisy, thousands of dark-skinned people ran towards the Mazu Pavilion, holding long halberds that were shining with cold light, followed by dozens of white-skinned and red-haired people, as if they had gone crazy.

The two groups encountered each other near Mazu Pavilion and got into a melee.The sound of killing went straight into the sky, making the albatrosses feel noisy, the ground was full of red blood, and the smell of blood made the albatrosses feel unbearable.

The leading bird screamed wildly, and its body drew a graceful arc, crossed the high ridge of the Mazu Pavilion, and led the flock of birds to escape to the east.

The lead bird was very experienced. He knew that the east was open, and it was quiet there at this moment, so it should be very safe.

Go east, away from the hustle and bustle of the south, away from the flames and smoke, away from those crazy killings!
On the east coast of the island, the world is still peaceful and peaceful.The weather is clear, the sea water nearby is glowing white, and the distance is blue.

The lead bird breathed a sigh of relief and landed in the shallows on the shore.The companions also landed in the sea water. They floated in the water, washed the dust from their feathers, and chirped happily.After recovering your strength, dive into the water to catch fish.

After a while, suddenly there was a harsh and terrifying sound from the distant ocean. The leader bird hurried out of the water, looked east with its small head up, and faintly saw the tips of the masts protruding from the sea level, densely packed and innumerable.

Intensive gunfire continued, and the masts hadn't completely risen from the sea level, and a boundless thick fog filled the sea.

Is things going to change?The lead bird thought so.

But when the thick fog drifted closer, it suddenly felt that something was wrong. The fog was very pungent, and when it was inhaled into the lungs, it was almost on fire.

Run away!
The lead bird had a bad premonition in his heart, and beckoned his companions to fly high into the sky again.After desperately piercing through the pungent fog and flying to a very high altitude, the lead bird felt a lot more comfortable after breathing in the fresh air.

Gathering its mind, it looked into the sea first. Through the fog, it could see a larger fleet coming from the ocean.

The deck of the ship was crowded with people, and they fired their guns into the air. For some reason, instead of flames, the muzzles of these people spewed out thick white smoke.

The leading bird came to some understanding, it turned out that the pungent fog was created by these people.Of course it doesn't know why people can create thick fog, shouldn't this be the ability of God?
It turned out that this was a stratagem of Shi Lang, he first sent thirty warships to attack the southern part of Haojingao, and after the battle started in the south, he led the rest of the ships to rush to the east bank.

Considering the open terrain on the east coast, the Portuguese built trenches, and the soldiers could easily become live targets after they landed. Shi Lang ordered the muskets to be filled with wet gunpowder to create an artificial fog.

The white mist was vast, and this group of albatrosses did not dare to stay for long.Now the only option is to flee to the western city. Originally, the albatross would not easily fly to the city, but now there is really no other way, so they have to take risks.

Fortunately, people in the city are busy and no one pays attention to them.Even the naughty children who often come to dig bird's nests on the rock wall have disappeared.

The leader bird fluttered its wings and flew high, leading its companions over the city wall, across a street, and landed on the steeple of the church in the city.

It should be completely safe, right?

The albatrosses were still in shock, and huddled together for some comfort.The lead bird stretched its neck and looked anxiously to the south. It found that the two groups of people had arrived near the St. Francis Fort from the Mazu Pavilion, and were entangled and fiercely fighting around the fort.

On the east side, the warship docked, and the white mist hadn't dissipated. Only gunshots and screams were heard, and the specific situation was not clear.

The lead bird turned around. Since albatrosses are not good at walking on land, it looked a little clumsy when moving its legs.Facing west, his eyes swept across the rooftops, and he saw the tallest and grandest building in the city, which was the Governor's Palace.

In the past, when flying in the air, as long as you looked down at the city, the first thing you saw was the Governor's Mansion.

The leader Torii looked down from above and found that many people gathered in front of the Governor's Mansion, including men and women, old and young, all with white skin and red hair.Some of them cried loudly, some clenched their fists and roared, and some trembled.

One of them stood at the front of the crowd. He wore bright and gorgeous clothes, more beautiful than the feathers of an albatross, and he had a sword at his waist.The man's lips fluttered up and down, making an inexplicable sound.

The leader bird looked at the man with great interest, and thought to himself: "He is probably the leader. In such a dangerous situation, why didn't he lead the group to hide in a safe place? How stupid!"

Thinking about it this way, the leader bird feels that he is a qualified leader and has lived up to the high expectations of his companions.

It looked around at its frightened companions, and spread its wings to the maximum, as if to cover them and provide them with the safest protection.

But it suddenly staggered, and there was a scorching heat and severe pain in its abdomen, and blood flowed out.

When did I get hurt?The lead bird didn't have the slightest impression at all, it lowered its head to look at its own wound, powerless and desperate.

The other albatrosses noticed the unusual behavior of the lead bird, and they were terrified, chirping and howling, and crowded around it.Some birds stretched out their beaks to comb the wounded feathers of the leader bird, while others raised their heads and sang to the sky.

"This island can't stay any longer, I have to migrate...to find a new home..."

The lead bird had just had the idea, his legs were weak, and he fell from the roof of the church.
