Chapter 2058 This is Taixi (thanks to HELLEATH for being the leader of this alliance)(1/2)
Lisbon is a beautiful city, of course, it's just relative to Tessie.
The great empire is booming, and the evil neighbor next door temporarily relaxed his covetousness of Lisbon, so the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
The weather is good, and several ships come in and out of the port from time to time.
Since Prince Henry continued to promote sailing adventures, Lisbon has gradually become a paradise for explorers.
Wearing dirty clothes, I lay on the dock to bask in the sun, groping on my body for a while, and finally finding a lice.
This is the life of those who have not found a living. There are many such people in Lisbon now.
They waited on the dock every day, and whenever a boat was about to sail or return, they would ask.
A fleet appeared in sight, and the lazy men stood up one after another, and then...
"That's not our ship..."
...
This is a fleet of six ships, mostly broken ships.
"Father-in-law! Where is this?"
Zhang Wang stared blankly at the port city that appeared in front of him, thinking that this must be a mirage.
Everyone on the fleet came out, and the deck was full of people, sighing and praising...
Hong Bao was not surprised. He looked at the city ahead with a telescope. After seeing the ships, he ordered: "Be ready. If there is any provocation, kill them!"
He had already lost his whiteness and tenderness, and had a fierce look on his face.
Several warships were ready immediately, and under the deck, the muzzle was aimed at several ships coming out of the port.
After being shocked, the evaluation was made, and the lookout hand on the above kept coming to the news.
“…There are mountains, lakes…I didn’t see the army…”
"Those ships had no weapons, so they saw bows and arrows. They...they...they...they have white skin..."
"This is Taixi! My father-in-law, this is Taixi!"
The screams of the watchtower made the whole boat numb, and the sense of mission suddenly made them cry.
Zhang Wang was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He knew that this would be a major moment, and he, Zhang Wang, might be able to leave his name in history books in the future.
Hong Bao put down his telescope and ordered: "Rise our flag and don't allow them to board the boat."
A big red flag is raised, and the embroidered Ming characters on it are very eye-catching.
There is no better sign than this one!
The flag was raised to the highest point, and the ships from the port gradually approached the fleet.
A big man stood on the raised bow of the boat, his eyes turned, and his face gradually showed joy.
"It's rich people! I haven't seen their ship before."
In an instant, the bow of the ship was full of people, and his greedy eyes swept over, making the Ming people on the ship feel that they have been stripped naked.
The prince has an almost stubborn enthusiasm for exploring overseas and colonizing overseas. It is rumored that he is preparing for an expedition fleet and will come here in the near future to discuss goals and supplies with the king.
Where did this come from the fleet?
Not from Tessie!
There is a little more caution in the greedy eyes!
"Stop..."
The deck was full of soldiers, and Zhang Wang had recovered the keenness of the soldiers from surprise.
Hong Bao said: "Xing and Bo said that they are greedy. Look at those eyes, it turns out that way! Ask people to prepare..."
Hong Bao had already changed into a new set of clothes and a sword around his waist.
He drew out his long sword, pointed it in front of him, and said, "Who dares to touch our ship without our permission, kill..."
At this moment, he forgot about the continued supply of the fleet!
He forgot what the fleet needed to repair urgently!
He only remembers one thing: the dignity of the Ming Dynasty cannot be humiliated!
This is the precept that the fleet has always believed in going abroad!
For this reason, they wiped out the largest pirate group in the South China Sea!
For this reason, they overturned the king who dared to despise the decision of the Ming Dynasty!
And the warship represents the Ming Dynasty at this moment!
A pair of tired eyes stared at the boat slowly leaning over, and the crossbow gradually aimed at those greedy faces...
The arrow is sharp and the light is shining.
Those greeds are hesitating!
"They want to do it..."
A sergeant with a knife took a step back, and he felt that these yellow-skinned guys were too calm and did not yell like those bullied.
So he hid behind a companion with a shield.
"Where are you from?"
A leader asked loudly.
"What is he talking about?"
Hong Bao had been paying attention to the port and asked casually.
"Father-in-law, I don't understand."
There was movement at the port, and a bell came, and then countless people began to run towards the dock.
There were also more people on the boats and they began to untie the cables.
The battle is about to begin!
"Is it really time to have a fight to know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is?"
The bell echoed in my ears, and the people rushed onto the ship, looking for their weapons.
The fleet has set out!
This is the goal!
A group of cavalry escorted one person to the dock. The man looked into the distance and murmured: "A ship type I have never seen before... how strong are they?"
"Your Highness, no one has come back to report the message yet."
The man suddenly closed his eyes and stretched out his index finger and stroked his way in the void.
If anyone could catch the traces he had passed, he would be surprised to find that he had outlined the outline of the ship.
"What is this purpose? Resist waves, yes, it must be resisting waves!"
Just as he was immersed in the boat's imagination, he slowly and firmly swung the hook rope with one hand.
"Father-in-law!"
Wang Zhang's eyes were full of murderous intent, staring at the man who was about to throw out the hook rope.
The Listen on the ship took out weapons, including swords, swords, and axes...
There are even people holding hammers!
Hong Bao's eyes were taken back from the fleets leaving the port and said, "Our Hong Bao went out to sea to find the countries of Taixi. Now he encountered a provocation... the Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"Shooting arrows..."
The man threw out the hook rope in his hand, the parabola...
As soon as the hook rope hooked the boat gang, an arrow drilled into his left eye.
The rain of arrows instantly covered the deck of the ship.
"Oh my god!"
The ships that rushed to reinforcements exclaimed.
There was no one standing on the ship in front of me, and arrows planted a forest on the deck.
"The grain ship retreats!"
"The warships are lined up and the artillery is ready!"
The fleet quickly unfolded, the artillery fire outlets below opened one after another, and the soldiers on the deck also began to wear armor and had a pair of shields.
Before artillery was intensively loaded on warships, the most common way for both sides to fight was to springboards.
And archers are the most lethal troops!
The crossbow arrow was abandoned at this moment because of its speed of fire, and Fang Xing firmly disagreed with letting the fleet take muskets to explore the route. Giving the gun was a risk.
To be continued...
