Valley Emperor

After the goatee man finished speaking, he looked back a little and saw that the natives on the side were still in a mess, and there was no formed queue at all. He immediately frowned and said to the short native behind him: "Ada, You go and tell those barbarians to hurry up, the old man will see them attacking within a quarter of an hour, or else don't blame the old man for taking the burden and leave!"

The short and strong native stepped forward and said in an awkward tone: "Yes!"

Then quickly walked towards the phalanx on the indigenous side!

After that, the goatee-bearded middle-aged man muttered and complained: "These indigenous barbarians are really unreasonable, such a simple thing takes so long!"

The Arab young man on the side stepped forward, and said in an awkward Chinese language: "Master, these barbarians are very stupid, it is normal for them to take some time to form a charge!"

But at this time, the white old man said: "What kind of formation is there, just because they still want to form, they can rush up!"

However, this old white man speaks Portuguese. What is rare is that although he speaks Portuguese, he can understand the conversation of the few people just now. Can also understand.

Immediately, the middle-aged man wearing a hanfu robe and a goatee nodded slightly and said, "William is right, these natives are not yet civilized, you can't expect too much, just let them rush up, as long as you can consume the pseudo-Tang thieves. The ammunition of the army, just buy enough time for our artillery!"

While he was talking, Ada, a short and strong native, also came back. After returning, he replied respectfully: "Master Hui, those Batang people said, give them some time, and they will be able to attack soon!"

The middle-aged man with the goatee nodded slightly, and then said: "Let the artillerymen take it easy, don't rush forward, wait for the natives to rush up to attract firepower before going up!"

After giving the order, this middle-aged man with a goatee squinted his eyes and continued to observe the city of Wandan in front of him with his monocular.

His surname is He Mingding, and his courtesy name is Qiyun. He is a native of Changsha, Huguang, and is a scholar of the eight classics. He is an official family. When the thieves of the Puppet Tang Dynasty ravaged Huguang, he and other people with lofty ideals fought against the tyranny and chaos of the Puppet Tang Dynasty. , still led the children of the clan and the villagers to defect to Zhang Yue, and began his magnificent career in the army and anti-thieves.

Although in the early years, Zhang Yue's troops suffered consecutive defeats, but He Ding still had some talent for fighting. With the help of the hundreds of disciples formed by the clan's children and the villagers, he could be regarded as winning a few small battles and accumulating merits. Gradually promoted, once promoted to the commander of the guard, there are nearly a thousand soldiers under the direct line.

But joining the army to fight against the thieves was also revealed by the pseudo-Tang thief army. The result is naturally self-evident. The Datang Dynasty at that time was never soft to diehard elements. The He family was directly raided and destroyed, leaving only the He Ding brought a few family members who are still there.

This kind of hatred of genocide will naturally not disappear. Even if Zhang Yue's superintendent was completely defeated in Huguang, he did not choose to surrender like others, but chose to lead hundreds of remnants to flee across the mountains and mountains. Sichuan.

Later, Sichuan was also captured by the puppet thieves of the Tang Dynasty. He still did not choose to surrender, but fled south with hundreds of remnants, and finally entered Myanmar. By the way, he also ransacked several Burmese villages and towns, and finally ran all the way to the sea to set up camp. .

After escaping to the Indian Ocean, in order to support the soldiers who followed him through life and death and fled to Myanmar with him, he also tried his best. Finally, he saw that the pirates in the Indian Ocean were living so well, so they directly captured a nearby pirate nest. After robbing two pirate ships, he transformed himself into one of the many pirates in the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean.

Then it gradually grew, and after successively annexing several pirate gangs from all over the world, the pirate gang he led has swelled to more than a thousand people, and he was not satisfied with being king in the Bay of Bengal, so he joined forces with the Western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and even the Indian Ocean. Like pirates in other seas, he began to run to the prosperous South Seas.

In this sea area, maritime trade is prosperous. There are countless merchant ships that can be used to loot, and there are many islands. Just find an uninhabited island to hide, and the patrolling Datang Navy or the Portuguese fleet want to catch them. , that's still not easy.

This has been a pirate for a long time. By the eleventh year of Xuanping, He Ding has changed from a former Mingjuren, supervising general, and traditional gentry in China to a famous pirate leader in the South China Sea and the South China Sea. :"commander"

He didn't reveal his surname, not to mention the fact that he was a prominent family in the past and the supervising generals. He was not afraid to expose the pursuit that attracted the Tang Empire, but felt that he had tarnished the family now. , tarnished the reputation of the Superintendent.

He even completely abandoned the previous superintendent designation, and chose a brand new name for his gang, a seemingly ordinary name but with a special meaning, called the 'Fourth Fleet'.

Fourth, this is the number of his former direct line of troops. He used to lead as the deputy commander of the right guard of the former army of the superintendent. He has direct jurisdiction over the fourth infantry thousand households. Now the infantry thousand households and the like are naturally unavailable. He just changed it to the Fourth Fleet.

Using the word fleet is also a statement that he wants to continue to maintain militarized management!

The Fourth Fleet, there are many pirate gangs in the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific, and they can be regarded as a famous pirate gang. They pursue militarized management and are ruthless. They rob the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty, and they also rob the Portuguese ships. , let alone those merchant ships in the Indian Ocean, Arabs and other regions.

Even, even the fellow pirates, they also rob!

Basically, as long as they like it and feel that they have the strength to win, then they basically do it, and in addition to robbing ships, they often go ashore to loot.

According to the Portuguese reports, last year, a group of pirates under the banner of the Fourth Fleet directly boarded a Portuguese trading post on the coast of Myanmar and looted all the property of this trading post. Naturally, people too Kill all but not one.

It can be said that the name of the Fourth Fleet is still very loud in the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. Their scale is estimated to not even rank in the top ten, but when it comes to ruthlessness, and the combat effectiveness of the same number, it must be ranked first!

And now, the defenders on the top of the city also saw the special flag erected behind He Ding. It was a red pennant. At the same time, there was a large irregular hole in the middle of the pennant. The flag is actually his He Ding's former general flag, except that there was his surname in the middle of the former general flag: He Zi, but after incarnating as a pirate, he directly removed the He character in the middle, not only without words, directly Even the area where the characters were originally printed was cut out, and only a big hole came out!

This kind of flag is rare in the entire South China Sea and even the Indian Ocean. The triangle is very common, and the red color is also common, but there is a big hole in the middle of the flag, but it is the only one!

This also means that the more than 500 people under this banner should be the famous pirate gang 'The Fourth Fleet'.

People who stay in Banten Mansion have naturally heard of the reputation of this pirate gang, because this pirate gang is too notorious, not only the Tang Empire Navy but also the Portuguese are wanted for this pirate gang. Hunting down, even other pirate gangs hate them.

Because this pirate gang is so arrogant, he dares to grab anyone!

How could the pirates of the Fourth Fleet appear here?

Yang Hong at the top of the city doesn't understand, and there is no need to understand!

It's just a group of pirates. To him, it doesn't matter what gang these pirates are. The important thing is to kill them all and defend Wandan City!

The pirate artillerymen stopped and began to walk slowly, but the indigenous infantrymen began to rush towards Banten City in a mess.

These indigenous people are obviously prepared. Many of them are carrying long ladders. Some of them are also equipped with arquebuses and even some small-caliber shotguns. Many of them are also wearing different clothes. A variety of armor, many of which are even plate armor.

Looking at the bright plate armor, Yang Hong knew that it must be domestically produced plate armor. Looking at these, he couldn't help cursing the domestic arms dealers, what weapons, arquebuses, plate armors, and everything sold out. Damn, you must write a report when you go back, and strictly review the export of ordnance, so that these weapons cannot fall into the hands of the enemies of the Empire.

His complaints are not without interest, because if the export of arquebus still needs to be reviewed, then plate armor, swords and other cold weapons and ordnance are basically open for sale, and even domestic people can buy two sets of plates if they like it. Armor wear.

Of course, this kind of civilian and export-type plate armor is all lightweight plate armor, and the materials used are also ordinary steel. It is not a big problem to block cold weapons, especially bows and arrows, but if you want to block muskets, you can That's enough!

The Tang army was all equipped with guns and guns, and they used more flintlock guns. After the large-scale equipment of 14mm caliber medium flint guns, they also began to install 18mm caliber heavy muskets.

Under the bullets fired by the 18mm caliber flint gun, any armor, including the heavy plate armor equipped by the Datang 6th Army itself, could not stop it!

Otherwise, why do you think the Tang Dynasty sold plate armor everywhere? In addition to the high price and high profits, it is also because the strategic role of this thing has been greatly reduced, not to mention that they are only selling light weapons that can only withstand cold weapons. Plate armor, military-type plate armor that has a certain protective effect on bullets will not be exported.

Therefore, although Yang Hong cursed in his mouth, he didn't feel any threat from these natives who rushed up.

If these natives can break through Wandan City by rushing up like this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ then they would have been able to break through it half a month ago, and Wandan City will not be able to hold on until now!

"Free artillery!" Since the enemy's artillery didn't push the artillery up, naturally the artillery of one's own side needed to move the muzzle to intercept the enemy's infantry!

The enemy continued to charge under the shelling, and soon came within range of the infantry muskets on the bastion. The officers on the top of the city ordered fire without hesitation: "The first row of fire!"

With the protrusions of the two bastions, when shooting at the natives in the middle, the natives under the city fell one after another like the cut wheat!

At this time, they didn't even get close to the foot of the city wall, let alone erect a long ladder for climbing to the top of the city!
