Chapter 47 Yuiren’s Diplomatic Rhetoric

Chapter 47 Yun Wen’s diplomatic rhetoric

The Ming Dynasty’s artillery really lives up to its reputation as the best in the world.

Especially this kind of short-barreled artillery that charges with the infantry has a range of only two miles, but its convenience and speed are unmatched by any artillery.

The tall Yun Zhen leads the artillery unit of this army. He doesn’t even need to look for the opponent’s artillery positions on the battlefield, because the thick smoke that keeps rising is enough for him to know where the artillery positions are. .

After this short-barreled artillery, called the Tiger Crouching Cannon, was placed in a concealed place and the angle was slightly adjusted, artillerymen immediately loaded a cannonball with a tail fin into the tiger. Crouching and shooting.

There was a "boom" sound, and then a black dot whizzed up into the sky. In an instant, it exploded in the place opposite where the smoke was thickest.

Yunzhen was overjoyed. He drew his long knife and pointed it at the first tiger crouching cannon, signaling for the rest of the artillery to follow.

After seeing more intensive explosions coming from the opposite side, Yunwen led the army into an open space.

"Pass quickly, pass quickly, don't stop."

Yun Wen shouted loudly and took the lead to push forward quickly with his waist down.

At this moment, a group of British infantrymen wearing bright red clothes and high hats suddenly walked in neat steps and appeared in the cloud pattern under the leadership of a soldier playing the bagpipe. front.

When they saw these people raising their guns and aiming forward, the Yun clan soldiers were already lying on the ground in unison according to the drill. Both sides fired almost at the same time, and the British muskets were fired. The lead bullets flew to nowhere, but the bullets from the Yun clan soldiers caused great damage to the British.

Yun Wen was surprised to find that these British soldiers in red military uniforms ignored their companions who fell on the ground. Instead, they stood there upright, holding their guns upright and pouring gunpowder into the barrels. , then put the lead bullet in, pull out the purge rod and insert it into the barrel, tamp the gunpowder and lead bullet tightly, then pull out the purge rod, insert it back into place, raise the gun and shoot, and so on.

Their movements were neat and skillful, but during the time they were preparing, the Yun clan soldiers had already fired three shots.

When the British army fired the first shot, the gunfire was as dense as fried beans. When the British army fired the second shot, the gunfire was sparse. When the British army fired the third shot, only Have a little chat.

Yunwen saw the British army on the opposite side fall to the ground, and he was overjoyed. He jumped up again and said: "Continue to charge."

He easily killed his opponent, letting these The morale of the Yun clan soldiers increased greatly, like a black steel torrent passing through this flat and narrow area.

Grenades, artillery, and the rapidly advancing black army spread continuously on the emerald-green island. Any place that was eroded by the black torrent was in chaos and ablaze.

The soldiers of the Yun clan have never cared about ammunition. They would throw grenades into houses when they encountered them.The soldiers in Yunzhen will throw cannonballs on their heads.

The British can often only inflict certain casualties on the Yun clan soldiers in the first round of attacks. Unfortunately, before they can launch the second round, they will be strangled to death by the fierce bullets of the Yun clan soldiers.

The sun had already set, and a castle suddenly appeared in front of Yunwen.

This is Raymond's Governor's Palace on West Island.

Yun Wen did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered his subordinates to use rifles to suppress the firepower at the city head, while Yun Zhen continued to bombard the stone castle with artillery. In an instant, this beautiful-looking castle The magnificent castle was also in flames.

A heavy artillery fell from the top of the city and hit the ground heavily. Immediately, a larger explosion broke out from the top of the city.

Yunwen looked at the flying stones and artillery parts, and said to Lao Zhou who was standing in front of him: "They didn't put gunpowder on the top of the city, right?"

The sound of shelling on the sea became more intensive, and Yun Zhen pushed over. A light artillery. The barrel of this artillery is flat, which is completely different from the squatting tiger cannon. After the muzzle was pointed at the solid city gate, Yun Zhen pulled the rope with his own hands. There was a thunderbolt, and the solid gate had been blown open. A hole was opened, and then countless grenades were thrown in along the hole.

A dense explosion sounded from behind the door, and Yunzhen's artillery took the opportunity to fire two shots at the city gate. After the smoke dissipated, the broken castle gate had fallen to the ground, revealing the city gate hole. The messy corpses inside.

Seeing that Yun Wen was about to rush forward again, Lao Zhou dragged him and said, "You are not needed at this time."

Sure enough, those well-trained Yun clan soldiers had raised their heads Holding his shield, he rushed into the city gate with a shout.

"Occupy the commanding heights, set up a forward position, and mount the tiger crouching cannon on the city wall."

Yun Wen shouted in confusion, and he didn't know if his subordinates heard him clearly, but he What was said has been carried out by the subordinates.

Yun Wen looked at the men, women, and children running around in the castle, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Find Raymond, I want his head."

Lao Zhou shouted, and more than ten big men quickly came over to protect Yunwen firmly in the middle. Their muzzles were pointed outward, watching for enemies that might appear in every direction.

To be honest, Lao Zhou had no joy in victory when more than 3,000 people captured an island. If such an advantageous army still failed in the face of people who were much worse armed than them, That makes no sense.

For him, he has received too many military exploits over the years. If something happens to the young master in the crowd, the consequences may be more serious than defeat.

The gunshots behind the castle seemed to be very intensive. Old Zhou knew that it was the black helpers that Lao Chang said were attacking the castle from another direction.Some of the British soldiers guarding the castle knew that the gate in front had been captured, but they were not confused and were still fighting hard.

The Yun clan soldiers in black military uniforms shot down every British man they met and tied up every British woman and child they met.

They searched forward and dropped bombs into every room. As a result, this magnificent British Governor's Palace was like a blasting site, with explosions happening one after another.

When Yunwen came to Raymond's study, the largest British official in the Far East was sitting quietly on a chair. His hair was not messy at all, and there was a shelf on the side of his left hand. , a silver-white curly wig hung on the shelf, and on his right hand side, there was a short firecracker, but the gunpowder and lead bullets in the firecracker had been poured out by the Yun clan soldiers who came in first. Come out and put it on the table.

On the seat to Raymond's right sat a man who also wore a wig. He looked very quiet, holding a teacup in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.

A Yun clan soldier officer whispered in Yun Wen's ear: "The French Governor, Jean Pierre, is a guest."

Yun Wen nodded and came to Pierre He said in front of you: "Mr. Governor, now, I have some very personal things to discuss with Governor Raymond. I wonder if the Governor can go outside to inspect the brave warriors of our Ming Empire?"

Pierre smiled and said: "This is my honor, young colonel, may I have the honor to know your name?"

After listening to the interpreter's explanation, Pierre put down his tea cup and stood up. He bowed slightly.

Yunwen laughed loudly and said: "I have a noble surname - Yun, my name is Yunwen!"

Even if there is no interpreter to explain this sentence, Pi El was still surprised. He knew that in the Ming Dynasty in the east, the surname Yun often represented the royal family.

So, he bent down and saluted again: "It's a great honor."

After saying that, he took his adjutant and left Raymond's study.

After Pierre left, Yun Wen came to Raymond who was sitting in a chair. He first fiddled with his wig on the table and said, "The late King Louis X of France. Number 3 was called the Sun King by my uncle. He also said that this name might also be the title of the current little emperor of France.

My uncle also said that the reason why he called Louis XIII. He is called the Sun King entirely because he has a bald head that rivals the sun!

In order to cover his bald head, he made other people's hair braided into a wig.

So, Mr. Raymond, you are not bald, why do you wear a wig?"

Raymond had no reaction to Yu Wenwen's frivolous language, but said solemnly: "This wig is I like the gift that Governor Pierre gave me very much. If the young colonel is interested in this wig, then take it."

Yun Wen shook his head and said: "I just told you.What he said was a mockery of my majestic father, because my father also had a bald head. However, his bald head was the most important symbol of glory in his life and a great victory brought to him. His by-product.

So he hates any wig, including the French wig that damn General Han Xiufen specially sent to him. He always said that it smelled like dead people. "

As Raymond listened to the gunfire outside the study gradually subsided, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Dear uncle, majestic father, could it be said that you are a prince of the Ming Empire? ?

It is really rare for a prince with his own son to lead an army and participate in a front-line war. "

Yun Wen smiled and said: "I have two prince brothers who do not participate in the war. As for me having a dear uncle, it is entirely because my uncle never beat me, and my father educated me. The only way is to beat him, so there is nothing difficult to understand.

Raymond looked at the cloud pattern and said: "I think I already know whose heir you are, but you have already won the victory, and the time of low tide is coming, why are you still here?" What's the waste of time here? "

Yun Wen sighed and said: "Our navy is at war with your navy. It will be really troublesome if I can't get on the ship when the tide is low. However, I found it in your warehouse. A lot of gold, a lot of gold.

As a child of the royal family, I think it would be a good deal for the navy to support me for a little longer so that I can send away the gold and silver coins here. ”
