From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 828

"The sea is always the same."

"No matter where you are, you will see huge waves."

Nie Zairong stood on the deck, listening to the earth-shaking roar in his ears, and said loudly: "This scene reminds me of the first battle of Guangdong Sea two years ago. The gunfire of three battleships and two cruisers easily smashed our wooden boats."

"That tragic scene has become my lingering nightmare in the past two years."

"It has changed! Now it's our turn!"

Not all of McPherson's men boarded the ship, so their artillery could not be in place in a short time, and they could not fight back at all.

They could only passively take the beating, and sporadic gunfire counterattacks did not have any effect.

The four major battleships, Hengyong, Hengpan, Henggao, and Hengfeng, blocked McPherson's way, and the two major cruisers, Confidence and Self-reliance, took advantage of every opportunity to attack the opponent's weak points.

After only the first round of bombardment, McPherson's battleship could not bear it. The hull on the seaward side was severely broken and a huge gap appeared. In particular, the collapse of the hull at the draft level made the entire battleship tilted.

The seawater rushed in, and the people inside screamed and jumped off the boat to survive. Now they were not far from the shore, and some of them wanted to swim back to the shore.

The Portuguese who did not get on the boat on the shore could not help but feel a little lucky.

"No more fighting! Talk! We surrender!"

McPherson shouted: "Raise the white flag! Surrender! We can talk about anything!"

As long as time can be delayed and the sail can be raised, there is hope of escape.

He was trembling all over. He had been on the sea for decades and had never encountered such a dangerous situation.

"They raised the white flag."

Bai Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "They lost! They surrendered!"

Nie Zairong saw the white flag on the other side's ship and was also sad for a while.

Two years!

Two years ago, we had no power to fight back and were forced to sign a humiliating treaty, betraying the interests of the people and letting the foreigners do whatever they wanted.

Two years later, we fought back.

For a country, two years is too short, so short that it passes in a flash, but we managed to turn the tables.

King Zhongwu is truly a pillar of the sky!

"Fight!"

Nie Zairong shouted, "Marshal's strict order! Don't be soft-hearted! The enemy must be completely wiped out! No one will be left alive!"

"Henggao ship! Keep bombing! Until you run out of ammunition, until the enemy is left alive."

Not only the Henggao ship, but other battleships and cruisers also started a new round of bombing.

McPherson's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless! They have no rules at all! They still fight after raising the white flag!"

"In that case, I will fight them too. Use flags to tell Yoshida Kamehide that I agree with all their demands. The future is that I can survive."

After the flags were sent out, Yoshida Kamehide on the shore seemed to have seen unbelievable news and shouted immediately.

"Quick, quick, quick! Quick! At all costs! Protect the Portuguese warships!"

He jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Use all our ships!"

One of his men couldn't help but said: "No, General, we are wooden ships, we can't withstand the bombardment, the cost is too high."

"Bullshit! Hurry up!"

Yoshida Kamehide said: "Even if we use our ships to block the shells, we must save the Governor! He is much more important than these ships!"

He murmured: "Hurry! The Portuguese ships can't hold on for much longer."

...

The Hengshi and Hengli ships bombarded the Xiangshan County dock, turning several turtle ships of the island pirates into scrap wood. Countless people soaked in the sea and were forced to swim back to the shore, waiting for the final judgment.

With 40,000 troops rushing over, the island pirates finally tasted the taste of despair. Some people resisted stubbornly, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some cried loudly.

But it was meaningless. The order was as hard as iron and had been emphasized many times - no one should be spared!

The brutal massacre had begun. Thousands of people were making their last struggle. They gathered at the dock, roaring and trying to fight to the death.

In response, they were roared by eight Portuguese cannons.

The shells fell into the dense island pirates, and immediately produced unimaginable lethality.

It was not until hundreds of shells fell and the front was already filled with smoke that Li He shouted: "Kill! Kill these island pirate monkeys! Kill them all!"

"Revenge for the compatriots who were massacred along the coast!"

Tens of thousands of troops rushed to kill.

The blood dyed the dock of Xiangshan County red, and the screams accompanied by the sea breeze became a vivid scene of this world.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuan did not feel cruel, but only felt relieved.

But he had more important things to do.

"Li He, I leave this to you. IWe must hurry to Hezhou. The situation there is probably already at a fever pitch. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "After killing the island pirates, all the bodies were burned. We have to worry about the plague in the middle of summer."

Li He said seriously: "I understand!"

Zhou Yuan took a deep look around and went directly to the Hengshi ship.

The two battleships started and headed straight for Hezhou. They were not far apart and could arrive in more than half an hour.

"Prepare a bucket of hot water for him to take a bath, clean clothes, food, and two cups of tea."

Li Yu'an thought for a while and said: "Two more apples. If you don't have them, other fruits will do."

The captain of the Hengshi ship was stunned, but he couldn't figure out who Li Yu'an was, so he could only look at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "No need. It will take more than half an hour. I don't need to be so troublesome. "

Li Yu'an said: "More than half an hour, enough for you to do these."

Zhou Yuan said: "I'm too lazy to do it. I'm just a little dirty. I'm not injured or anything. I'll do it later..."

He didn't dare to finish his words because he saw the fierce expression of the Virgin Sister.

"Okay... do as she says..."

Zhou Yuan had no choice but to agree.

Li Yu'an then laughed and took Zhou Yuan to the room. She first stripped him naked and rinsed him with cold water. After there was no blood stain, she let him soak in the hot water in the bathtub.

She wiped Zhou Yuan's body with a towel, pushed him into the water, and washed his hair.

She massaged Zhou Yuan's cervical vertebrae and shoulders, and occasionally relaxed his scalp, letting Zhou Yuan lean on the bathtub and moan.

Then a cup of hot tea was handed to Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan took it and drank a sip, then said: "It's really relaxing... Virgin Sister is very good to me. "

Li Yu'an did not laugh, but whispered: "War will make people lose their reason, make people impulsive, and not cherish their lives."

"Washing and relaxing will make you feel more truly that you are still alive, make you sober, and prevent you from doing impulsive things."

"If you eat something, it will be even better."

She handed the cut apple to Zhou Yuan's mouth and whispered: "Eating will make you feel your own life, little nephew, calm down, you are too involved in this battle."

Zhou Yuan held her hand and whispered: "I'm fine, I just want to kill them all, that's all."

Li Yu'an said: "You can do it. "
