Just when the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the Governor of Guangdong were quarreling over whether to rescue Chaozhou, the offensive and defensive battle in Chaozhou City had ended with the initial battle of the official army.

In fact, the official army on the city wall did not fire a single shot, and the cannons they fired were also out of order. The difference was too far, and it almost did not cause much damage. It can be seen that shooting cannons is a big problem. If you don’t learn scientifically, you will not be able to shoot cannons!

So you have to study postures well, comrades!

The damage caused by the defenders to the Great Golden Tooth Division of the Pirates basically came from the explosion... It was some adobe houses deliberately left by the Civil Engineering Group when demolishing the houses, and then buried thousands of kilograms of gunpowder. When the pirates went ashore to avoid artillery fire, they would naturally run behind the only houses. The Rangers hiding in the caves could ignite the fuse and give them a wake-up call!

The plan was clever and the effect was quite good. More than a dozen pirates were killed on the spot and hundreds of them were injured, which made the Big Gold Teeth unable to bear it. Before he could stand firm, he brought the remaining defeated generals back to the ship.

Seeing this, the military and civilians on the city wall burst into a tremendous cheer, as if they had won a great victory. Although they were just spectators, they at least wiped out their fear of the pirates.

The only problem is that this is too much gunpowder. If it were in the cities in Jiangnan, it would be possible to consume all the inventory in the city.

But people in the north may not believe it. The big dogs in Chaozhou City donated a total of 80,000 kilograms of gunpowder, which was enough for the imperial court to launch a medium-sized war.

Considering that their family must have hidden privately, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chaozhou City is an arsenal. So these thousands of pounds are just a sprinkling of water and the loss is caused.

In addition, the ordnance team also collected tinea and sulfur throughout the city, mobilized women, the elderly and children to donate the topsoil in the toilets, pigpens and horse sheds in the homes, and used the on-site to boil soil and silt and allocate more gunpowder.

The city-guarding leadership center is very clear that with the poor training level of the military and civilians in the city, only by using as much gunpowder and firearms as possible and attacking from a high position can it cause enough damage to the enemy and make them want to retreat.

The ordnance team even made some copycat-enlarged versions of the thunder fireballs. They filled wooden barrels with gunpowder and iron nails, smashed porcelain pieces, and prepared to wait for the pirates to attack the city, so they lit them and threw them down...

In short, let the explosion and artillery fire come more violently!

~~

The city above was full of joy and celebration of the victory of the first battle, but the atmosphere of the Zeng Yiben fleet in the middle of the river was much more depressed.

After comforting Da Jinya with a sad face, he said to everyone again: "Da Jinya has already explored the virtual reality of the official army. Today's goal has been achieved. It's not too early, let's go back to the boat to rest. Let's fight again tomorrow."

The sea lords nodded and said yes, and left one after another.

Seeing their backs like a general amnesty, Big Jinya said angrily: "These cowards don't want to suffer any loss."

"It's normal, don't care." Zeng Yiben was very open-minded and said lightly: "We have fought with the government army for so many years, have you never seen it? Every time we attack, it is called a tens of thousands of troops, but in fact, most of the troops are just waving flags and shouting to strengthen their momentum. In fact, the governors and generals can only rely on their own personal soldiers and trustworthy people, and those thousands of troops will fight to the death. Otherwise, how can we always win with less?"

"Haha, that's true." Big Gold Teeth felt very useful, and the depressedness of losing troops and generals unknowingly disappeared a lot. "It's better not to take on those burdens and save some money."

"This is because you have short knowledge. Elites are important, but they are also indispensable to shaking flags and shouting." Zeng Yiben shook his head and comforted his subordinates. Can he really teach him all the treasures he has learned over the years?

He stopped talking and lowered his voice, "Tonight I will send an suicide squad to sneak into the city in the dark, and steal the city at the fourth update."

"Really?" Big Jinya looked up, hurriedly covered her mouth, and asked in an inward voice: "Are you sure, is it?"

"Of course." Zeng Yiben smiled proudly, and wouldn't tell him that he had something to do with his own feelings now.

When you are at home, you must always maintain a sense of mystery. When you have no secrets in front of your subordinates, it is not far from being betrayed.

"Then let me lead the team!" Big Jinya was inspired again: "I must get the daytime scene back!"

"No, you have something else to do, I'll send Night Owl to take people there." Zeng Yiben said: "He is used to committing crimes at night and is more experienced than you."

"Oh." Big Jinya had no choice but to nod and asked again: "What do the head of the company want me to do?"

"You go to Chaoyang." Zeng Yipeng took over the dry tobacco that his subordinates had prepared. Maritime merchants in Fujian and Guangdong have been in contact with tobacco for many years, so there is no bad thing.

Unlike most of my colleagues who like to smoke hookahs, I once liked to smoke dry tobacco. Cut a variety of dry tobacco tablets into shreds, put them in a tobacco pipe pot, lit it and took a sip, which was very exciting!

Moreover, the long cigarette pole is also a symbol of his identity. In Zeng Yiben's fleet, no one's cigarette pole can be longer than him.

"What are you doing when you go to Chaoyang?" Da Jinya quickly took out a fire note and blew it to the boss to slap it.

Zeng Yiben started to twitch, and after a while, he coughed twice and said, "I haven't replied yet, so I feel uneasy."

The "Laomo" he mentioned was Lin Daoqian. Zeng Lin and the others called each other brothers in the gang of the sea master Wu Ping. Lin Daoqian was the youngest at that time, so he was called "Laomo" by Zeng Yi.

Now that the world has changed, things have changed, Wu Ping has long been killed, and his gang has also fallen apart. Zeng Yiben, who inherited his largest force, once had a great momentum and was intimidating all over the world. However, under the joint attack of the official army of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, he has become a loser, and the rivers are getting worse and worse. However, the little brothers were in great success and successfully accepted the recruitment. They have gained their own troops in Chaoyang County, which is jealous...

Although Zeng Yiben was unwilling to admit it, he knew in his heart that his power was probably not comparable to Lin Daoqian, so he had to gather so many sea lords to avoid the cruel and ruthless boy having evil thoughts and cutting off his retreat - Chaoyang is not far from Chaozhou City, as long as Lin Daoqian soon could send a fleet north to block the Hanjiang estuary, trap him in the river, and prevent him from returning to the sea.

Therefore, this time, I specially prepared a generous gift and sent someone to Chaoyang to invite Lin Daoqian to make a fortune in Chaozhou City.

But Lin Daoqian is now in office and has many concerns and has been reluctant to reply for a long time. Obviously, he does not want to wade into this muddy water.

Zeng Yiben was not surprised by this. In fact, he never thought that Lin Daoqian would be invited to come, nor did he want that boy to steal the limelight. However, the other party's status and geographical location were there, and the attitude he should do was not saved.

"But he didn't return the gift, I see there is still a door." Big Gold Teeth said.

The difference between the sea lords and the bandits is that one must keep his word and receive gifts and do things, while the other is completely shameless and will do whatever he wants.

This is not because the sea owners have a high awareness, but because the sea in this era is no longer the natural barrier that separates the countries as before. On the contrary, the ocean has become a link for trade between countries with its incomparable transportation advantages. Maritime trade must be based on credit, and the party without credit can only be excluded from maritime trade and has no choice but to be a pirate.

Although the sea lords are all pirates, the long-term solution is to engage in maritime trade. Therefore, they all attach great importance to their reputation among their peers and will not easily go back on their word.

"But if he doesn't reply, I feel uneasy." Zeng Yiben spit out a thick smoke and said, "Just let's just go here not far from him, just go there and ask in person whether to come or not."

"What if he can't say it?" Big Gold Teeth asked.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. As long as he helps us see the way out, this time, no matter whether it's yellow or white, all the goods will be divided into 20% of them." Zeng Yiben gritted his teeth and said, "But if he is willing to come and help, I'm willing to share the money with him, and even if he is six or four."

"So many?" Da Jinya was unhappy. Although she hadn't gotten the item yet, she could feel distressed in advance.

"This time the situation is a bit tricky, I can't bear to let my child go to trap the wolf." Yiben said: "The most important thing at the moment is that I can't mess up this big show. Otherwise, we will be completely unable to make it at sea."

"And I am too honest in the past two years, so the government army will concentrate firepower against me." Zeng Yiben spat and said, "No matter what he thinks, he has to put his shit basin on him. Only then will our lives be easier."

"I understand." Big Gold Ya was finally convinced and stepped down and prepared to set off.

Zeng Yiben stood alone on the forecastle, smoking a dry tobacco fiercely. The smell of smoke could smoke everyone at the stern.

In fact, he hated Lin Daoqian more than anyone else, because he already knew that the reason why he had lost so badly in the past few times was largely due to Lin Tongwen’s report.

Zeng Yiben knew very well that Lin Daoqian was playing the trick of killing people by borrowing a knife, and wanted to use the hands of the government army to destroy himself. He would sooner or later ask the kid to return these old accounts.

However, things are prioritized and it is not the time to tear apart now, so we have to continue to maintain the superficial brothers, just asking him not to stab him in the back.

~~

In the afternoon of the same day, Da Jinya left the fleet with a gift and headed towards Chaoyang by boat.

When it was the third day, the suicide squad, who had been raising energy, set off. With the cover of the night, they quietly rowed a small boat to the west bank of the Hanjiang River, then abandoned the boat and landed, quietly touching under the southern city wall.

According to the agreement, the inner army should try to support the official army guarding the city wall, and put down the ropes there to help the suicide squad climb up the city.

When the suicide squad touched the agreed place, he heard the quiet and no one voice on the city wall, which was in sharp contrast with the movements on the adjacent city wall.

After checking the code, several long ropes slowly hang down from the city.

The suicide squad members were overjoyed and climbed up the knotted rope ladder!
Chapter completed!
