Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 118 The Sneak Attack at Dusk

In the afternoon, one hour after the Raytheon stopped shelling, the "Dinghuoxiao" who was in charge of putting out the fire, led by several Yuli, rushed to the port to start fighting the fire.

On the other side, two official negotiators came under the Thor in a small sampan and requested to board the ship for negotiation.

Soon, when the two saw the two giant cannons bombarding the port on the deck, the slender barrels, wide gun tails and huge gun mounts made them secretly startled. They did not expect such a thin muzzle There is such a power unexpectedly.

When they saw Zhao Xin, an official asked angrily: "What is your intention to shell our territory for no reason?!"

Zhao Xin looked at the warrior with the eyes of a fool.

"You don't have any nutritional problems?"

The two officials were taken aback for a moment, and just about to ask what "nutrition" is, but then they realized that even though the other party was proficient in their own language, they were still a group of barbarians after all.So I decided to ignore it, and continued to ask: "Shouldn't you be ashamed for committing such atrocities?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xin looked at the two with even more strange expressions, looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"It turns out that your country has a long history of fighting back!"

The two negotiators were turned blue by the other party's confused words and laughing air.

Zhao Xin gradually stopped laughing, and said slowly: "Stop talking about those useless nonsense, you know what you have done."

The two envoys continued to play dumb, and they absolutely cannot admit that their side was planning to sneak attack other people before the shelling.

"Your Excellency, do you mean the incident 58 years ago? It was done by Di Fan. What does it have to do with us?!"

Zhao Xin rubbed his ears with his fingers indifferently, and said, "I heard that right, you mean that the Maoli family is not under the control of the general?"

"What conditions do you need to withdraw?"

"In a word, lose money. 10 taels of gold. After paying the money, I will immediately go to the Maori family to settle the score."

"You! Di Fan is also our territory!"

"Oh, what you said makes sense. Then you think I should go to Edo to find your general?"

When the two heard Zhao Xin's words, they trembled with anger.If these barbarians go to Edo, it will completely shake the world, and the number of heads they have is not enough for the general to chop off.

They originally wanted to say that they would rather die in battle than pay compensation, but thinking of the terrible power of the opponent's cannon and the threat of bombarding Edo, they could only hold back their breath.

Zhao Xin sneered at the two Nagasaki envoys and said: "Go back and tell the acting official that if he dares to play tricks again, we will bombard the execution office. When the time comes, the compensation will be doubled, and I have to go Edo talked to General Tokugawa."

The two negotiators were stunned by Zhao Xin's teasing tone, and they said: "Please allow the two of us to go back and report your conditions, and we will reply tomorrow." After speaking, they hurriedly left and disembarked.

Looking at the sampan going away, Liu Sheng and the others asked Zhao Xin, "Will they agree?"

Zhao Xin shook his head, nodded again, and said with a smile, "I just don't cry when I don't see the coffin."

From being busy in the second half of the night to now, everyone on the Thunder God is exhausted.Not to mention the part-time artillerymen Zhao Xin and others; the dozens of people led by Toyoshi also stared at the deck with wide eyes all day, ready to guard against the attack of the Nagasaki defenders at any time.

After the negotiating envoy left, Ding Guofeng and Zhao Liang suggested that Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and some crew members go to rest first. The two of them led a dozen soldiers with guns to guard the deck, and asked Zhao Xin to come and replace them after dark.

At this time in Nagasaki Port, there are large pieces of ship wrecks floating on the sea, ups and downs with the waves; the town firefighter has left after fighting the fire, and there is not even a single person on the pier; originally hidden in Shinjizo and the northern warehouse The two men and horses in the camp had long since fled; while the fire was still burning in the Chongerfansuo barracks that had been shelled.

Zhao Xin got up at dusk.Because he was thinking about too many things, he couldn't sleep well at all.After taking a cold shower, he drank two cups of strong coffee, and then he felt much more awake.Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, I heard a "bang!" gunshot outside.

"I'll go!" Zhao Xin shuddered. It was the sound of a lever rifle firing.Before he had time to think about it, he grabbed his gun and rushed outside.

At this time, the sound of lever rifle shooting on the deck began to continue, and islanders holding long knives and wearing only a loincloth fell headlong into the sea from the side of the ship.

"What's going on?!" Zhao Xin rushed out of the ship building, raised his gun and fired three shots at an islander who had just turned over the railing of the ship.

No one answered, and everyone on duty on the deck was shooting desperately.

After Zhao Xin knocked down an islander with one shot, he turned his head and saw Pingtai and others shooting towards the right side of the ship's side.

Zhao Xin hurriedly shouted at Mrs. Ping: "Watch out for the bullets! Remember to reload!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he caught a glimpse of fire from the corner of his eye.Turning his head to look, Zhao Xin's eyes widened.A dozen or so meters away, an island soldier was sitting on the railing of the ship, holding a large black clay pot in one hand, and the torch in the other hand was already attached to a rope outside the pot.

"Baked fire arrow!"

Zhao Xin raised his gun without hesitation and fired continuously. The soldier was shot several times, and then he leaned back, and the roasting arrows in his hand fell to the bottom of the boat.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a burst of flames burst out from under the boat, and screams sounded instantly.

At this moment, someone shouted "Shoot!" not far from the boat.

"Wow!" After countless bowstrings sounded, a rain of fire suddenly rose from the sea and fell towards the deck of the Thunder God.

"Hide!"

Pingtai and the others ran towards the ship building with their heads in their hands, but it was too late for Zhao Xin to run back; holding the gun, he rushed forward desperately and hid under the D30.

Crackling fire arrows hit the deck like raindrops, and a sailor with a gun grunted and fell to the deck with several arrows in his body.

Zhao Xin's eyes immediately turned red when he saw it. He, Liu Sheng and others managed to train more than a dozen people who could use lever rifles, and in a blink of an eye there was none.

"Shoot them down!" Zhao Xin stood up and shouted.He pointed at the Pingtai people: "You all go to the right, and the rest go to the left. Beat them back!"

Zhao Xin, who had calmed down, finally saw Ding Guofeng. He was hiding behind a warehouse cover on the deck, shooting non-stop at both sides.

Suddenly, there was a continuous shooting sound of "da da da" above his head. Zhao Xin looked up and saw that it was Liu Sheng or Deng Fei who were lying on the compass deck and shooting at the island soldiers who climbed up all around.

With the addition of machine guns, finally there were no soldiers from island countries climbing up on the deck. Zhao Xin shouted at Ding Guofeng: "You go to the left, machine gun!"

Zhao Xin immediately ran to the machine gun position on the right with his waist down, and looked outside with his head.Good guy!Dozens of small boats were parked on the sea below the Thor, and the island soldiers on board were densely packed like ants.

A small boat was burning due to the explosion of the previous cauterizing bolt.Soldiers on some early boats were using spears or bamboo wormwood to push the burning boat away.

A dozen or so early boats on the periphery were approaching at this time, and some soldiers held grappling hooks in their hands, ready to approach and throw them up.

Before Zhao Xin had time to think, he raised his gun and started shooting at the island soldiers with grappling hooks.

Blossoms of blood rose up from the early morning boat, and screams for help were heard endlessly.

Zhao Xin emptied the magazine, quickly replaced it with a new one, then got up and uncovered the gun cover of the M2HB beside him, and pulled the bolt hard twice.

"Tom tom..."

With Zhao Xin and Ding Guofeng in place, the M2HBs on both sides of the Raytheon finally let out a roar, and two tongues of flame shot out from the deck, shooting at the early ships on the sea.

A series of water sprays splashed from the sea surface, and dozens of warriors and soldiers were beaten like a burst of flames with the roar of the bullets. Flesh and stumps flew in all directions, and the sea immediately became a hell of blood and fire.

Seeing the continuous musket fire on the big ship, the soldiers on the early boat squatted behind the planks on both sides of the early ship, trying to make the planks resist the musket bullets.There are also people who can't help but shoot with bows and arrows or muskets.

The ping-pong-pong lead bullets and arrows hit the MK93 bulletproof shield, splashing sparks.Zhao Xin then turned his gun to these bamboo and wooden boards and began to shoot.

When the black and red armor-piercing incendiary warheads first hit the boards, they did not ignite the fire. The straight trajectory left a thumb-thick bullet hole on the boards, and the soldiers behind the boards rang out. Screaming, a soldier was so frightened that he lay on the boat covering his head and yelling.

As the bullets continued to hit the ship, the flames gradually rose, and then turned into a big fire.And after the bottom plates of some ships were lifted by bullets, sea water rushed in; and the panicked soldiers had no time to block them, and they fell into a pool of blood.

A samurai stood at the bow of the ship, raised his knife and shouted to attack. A few bullets swept by, and he was immediately smashed into pieces.

"Run away!" shouted the few surviving Japanese soldiers, jumped into the sea, and swam desperately to the shore.

On the coast not far away, more than 200 musketeers and hundreds of archers could only watch the early ships sinking in the fire because they were too far away, crying bitterly.

The box of bullets assembled by the first machine gun had already been fired, so Zhao Xin threw it away, and immediately turned and ran towards the other M2HB, uncovered the gun jacket, pulled the bolt, and continued to shoot.

The sea is full of soldiers who are desperately shouting and swimming to escape. At this time, no one wants to continue to attack.

Zhao Xin clicked the trigger blindly. At this moment, there was only one question in his mind, where did these guys come from?

Finally, when he pointed his gun at the island soldiers on the shore, he saw the apricot leaf pattern painted on a large flag.

"Is this the Nabeshima family?" Zhao Xin stopped shooting and cried out in surprise.

He didn't know that [-] soldiers from the Saga clan had arrived in Nagasaki this afternoon!
This time, the Saga Clan sent out all the soldiers and horses, led by the head of the family, Nabeshima Jishige.It's impossible not to work hard, the bad thing about the lack of troops in the two battles has finally been exposed; the Saga Domain has no way to explain to Edo, and can only mobilize all the troops in the territory.Fortunately, it finally caught up.

Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, the Toda Clan, who had no way out, finally decided to give it a go and fight to the death, vowing to expel the foreign ships.In this way, it is possible for him to retain the fief after death.
