The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 342 Pirate Infighting
The dog provided the coordinates, three rifled guns fired a volley, and the shells flew up the walls of the fortress, and the enemy fort immediately rushed into chaos.

It wasn't just the explosive shells that caused the damage, because the enemy's artillery was all ready to go, and several powder barrels on the fort were blown up by shrapnel.

With only three bombs looting, the pirates defending the city had lost the confidence to stick to it, and they were all looking around and preparing to escape.

He Bin and dozens of cronies brandished knives and threatened loudly, "Brothers, cheer up. After the Ming army breaks through the city ferociously, there will be no chickens or dogs left behind. Everyone will work together to kill the enemy. I have a big reward for killing one of the Ming soldiers." A reward of 100 taels of silver!"

The pirates had no choice but to bite the bullet and defend the city, but they found a clue, it seemed that the artillery of the Ming army specially greeted the Hongyi cannons on the city wall!There are no fools, the pirates are far away from their gun positions, even the gunners are hiding.

The artillerymen of the Huang family are no longer what they used to be. They may be the best gunners in the world. They use rifled guns to shoot out bullets one after another to accurately call the enemy cannons.

There was no accident, the enemy was beaten unilaterally, and they soon lost artillery support.

After Gou'er confirmed that all six of the enemy's Hongyi cannons could not restore their attack power in a short time, he signaled to the Huangdongshan infantry that they could start attacking.

He Bin knew it was over, and he relied on the eighteen red barbarian cannons he bought from the Spaniards to have the confidence to refuse to surrender.These guns were capable of firing twelve-pound solid ammunition to a mile and a half, and shot ammunition to 150 paces.

But these reliances were all blown away by the Ming army. No matter how He Bin drove them away, no one dared to reset the Hongyi cannon. Everyone knew that as long as they ran over to move the cannon, they would be bombarded by the Ming army immediately.

When He Bin's cronies threatened a dozen gunners to carry the cannon, they were despised. An old gunner expressed his willingness to reset the Hongyi cannon and prepared to fight back.

Seeing that the old gunner was about to pull himself up on his back, and the few cronies who had been yelling and drinking just now were all discouraged, He Bin said anxiously: "Whoever dares to fire the cannon, as long as one shell is fired, I will reward 100 taels of silver for helping to set the cannon up." If there is one upright, it will be 100 taels."

Sure enough, there were some people who did not know what to do, and a dozen pirates really went there. It was not easy to set things of four or five thousand catties out of order. Just as they were yelling and rushing with brute force, three more explosive bullets roared towards them.

A dozen or so pirates' silver coins were missing, but the ancestors saw them.No pirates dared to take money without risking their lives. No one was tempted when He Bin rewarded him with 500 taels of silver.

The Huang family's private soldiers were attacking and advancing step by step, not in a hurry.Thirty chariots were slowly advanced by hundreds of Fujian Ming troops who had already experienced it, followed by a thousand musketeers.

When approaching a hundred steps, the musketeers began to shoot forward in three bursts. In front of the barrage of miniature bullets with eyes, no one on the enemy's fortress could stand up.

Inside the [-] chariots, [-] guns fired continuously and accurately. They were responsible for closing the long fort wall and ensuring that no pirates could fight back. They all had a division of labor.

The bullet rain from the musketeers did not cause too many casualties to the pirates, because they all lay obediently behind the crenel with their heads covered.

The attacking team quickly reached 20 steps below the fort wall, and the grenadiers appeared in a very cool manner. [-] people waved the "Fei Zhen Tian Lei" for four circles, dropped their hands, and retreated without looking at the effect of the blow. Down.

Twenty more grenadiers came up to repeat this action, six times in a row, and finally let all the grenadiers get addicted.

How could the pirates have the ability to fight such a fierce battle? They had already turned into turtles one by one, hiding behind the crenel and trembling. Who knew that this would not work, and suddenly many shells jumped from the fort wall and exploded.

The pirates were killed and injured, they rolled and climbed away from the fort wall with a scream, no one cared about them at all, because their leader He Bin had been injured, and dozens of confidants were pulling and dragging him to the fort. run wild.

The little bosses have long been out of their wits, and those who can run are too busy to be longer than their legs. No one dares to organize pirates for defense.

At this time, a voice sounded from among the pirates: "Brothers, stop fighting, it's useless, the Ming army is too powerful, surrender!" It turned out that the ten pirates who had been captured by the Ming army ran around while they were watching. out.

They saw their companions being beaten by the Ming army until they cried to their fathers and mothers and loudly reminded everyone to surrender and save their lives.There were more and more pirates clamoring and preparing to surrender, and even the big and small bosses began to shout like this.

In the chaos, there was another voice that was particularly piercing: "That fellow He Bin is an idiot. If he hadn't refused to surrender because he was afraid that the Ming army would seize his property, how could so many brothers have been killed or injured?"

Immediately, some pirates clamored and said, "Yes, the Ming army promised to surrender so as not to die for food and clothing. That fellow bird is too hateful to let the brothers die or hurt in vain. Let's tie up that fellow He Bin and surrender to the Ming army!"

"That's right, if we capture that guy alive, maybe the master of the Ming army will be rewarded!"

"Go ahead! That fellow is injured, and there aren't many people around him."

The pirates were fighting among themselves, everyone left the fort wall, turned around and attacked He Bin's house, how could there be many loyal subordinates around a pirate.

He Bin's dozens of soldiers are not stupid, they have seen the sharpness of the Ming army's firearms, and know that the castle will be destroyed and stubborn resistance will definitely lead to death.

Seeing that there were too many people who came to capture He Bin and asked for rewards, most of them chose to beat the dog in the water, planning to capture He Bin together and surrender to the Ming army.Only a few pirates with bad brains were still protecting their masters, and they were soon drowned in the chaotic crowd.

The gate of the fortress had long been blocked by boulders, and the soldiers of the Huang family could only use ladders to climb the wall. Li Xihan, a private soldier who was as light as a swallow, was allowed to be the first to climb the fort. Under the cover of more than thirty flintlock guns, he Successfully climbed the fort wall.

Afterwards, Liu Guozheng and the martial artists from his personal team came one after another. They were not in a hurry to chase down the fleeing pirates, but stood in their respective positions to cover the follow-up troops to keep up.

Seeing that more than 200 comrades had come up, Liu Guozheng was about to lead people to attack and seize the gate, when he found many pirates showing up empty-handed and holding white flags.

One of the pirates who was sent back to persuade him to surrender knew Liu Guozheng, the personal captain of the master of the Ming army, and he said loudly: "Master Liu, stop fighting, everyone here has surrendered, not only that, we also arrested He Bin. "

Liu Guozheng was about to lead his subordinates to kill all directions, but when he saw such a situation, he was immediately discouraged and cursed: "Gusun, why are you so ungrateful?"

Half an hour later, He Bin, who was bundled into rice dumplings, was thrown by Liu Guozheng into the discussion cabin of 'Liaodong'. Even Guo Huaiyi, who had surrendered three days ago, was brought in to interrogate He Bin's gang.

This kid was covered in blood and he didn't know where he was injured. His energy had been knocked out long ago, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Mr. Huang Sheng said: "I want to forgive all your sins and give you 5000 taels of silver to spend the rest of your life in peace. You are a lifeless thing. There is a way to heaven if you don't go, and there is no way to hell."

"Forgive me, my lord, but I know I was wrong, and I will make up for my mistakes. If my lord spares my life, I will pay a lot of respect to the little one."
