Chapter 75 Misunderstanding
The sea outside Weigan under the night sky,
A mass of ships was anchored silently on the sea surface, and the waves slapped on the heavy hull from time to time, shaking constantly with the rumbling sound.
Unexpectedly quiet on the boat,
The dark deck casts a little cold luster.
They were steel knives with cold light.
Pirates leaned silently on the side of the ship, staring at the port in the distance in the fire.
The sound of cannons and muskets made a faint sound, and from time to time there were shouts and shouts of killing and coming to your ears from afar.
Everyone looked at the boat with their breath and focused. The fire had already been turned off, and only the lights scattered by the moon beside the clouds could be distinguished.
No one spoke too much, and everyone remained silent.
It seems that they have forgotten who the harbour screams were caused by.
The merchant ships of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce were still bombarding continuously, and even the pirates hiding on the sea in the distance could see the light of the artillery fire.
On the boat building, Li Zihong, the leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang, was watching indifferently.
"I didn't expect that this Wei Gan was actually a hard bone." Li Zihong said indifferently.
The second in commander Li Gui shook his head. Just as the armed merchant ship of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce shot the dock, the ships of the Yulong Gang returned tacitly.
"Brother, it's been a quarter of an hour. Let's send the Clippers to pick up the third boss." Li Gui sighed slightly and said softly.
I thought it would be a good idea to win Weigan.
Who would have thought of twists and turns?
"This is a rare show of Weigan and Mingren dog biting dogs. It's a pity for those dozens of good players."
Li Zihong was very happy to see the Weigan people fighting with the Ming people.
Although he lost completely this time, he also took advantage of dozens of good players.
However, it is still good to see this big dog biting scene.
At least it is a good thing for the Ichthy and Dragon Gang.
At this time, there were already wailing everywhere on Weigan Wharf, and the Wharf was considered ruined.
Several merchant ships that were docked too close had already capsized in the fire.
Zhao Tian and the only seven or eight brothers left jumped into the hiding clutch and rushed out of the harbor.
The Ming army was not a fool either. Liu Yu would rather ask pirates to occupy the wharf than let the Ming army be beaten under the ship artillery of the Wei-Gansu Chamber of Commerce.
The fire burned all night, and the pier controlled by the Ming army was completely scrapped.
More than a dozen merchant ships were burned together.
Other merchant ships also suffer different losses.
"My boat." Boss Zhao ran to the dock early in the morning. After seeing the tragic situation of the dock, his eyes fell down as dark as they turned black.
The servant who accompanied him quickly pinched the person and poured cold water on him before he woke him up.
"Mr. Liu, you have to make a decision for the common people." Ship owner Zhao didn't care about anything at this moment. He grabbed Liu Quan's trouser legs and cried with tears in his mouth.
Liu Quan looked as if he was ashen and looked at the dock without saying a word for a long time.
The personal soldiers on the side hurriedly pulled the owner of ship Zhao away.
The fire burned overnight, and the corpses on the ground had already burned to charcoal, including pirates and Ming troops.
"Does, have the losses been counted?" Seeing Liu Quan standing there without saying a word, Liu Yu asked the assistant chief beside him.
"The first and second associations lost 33 brothers, and more than 20 brothers were seriously burned, and the ships destroyed seven or eight." The chief of the association said with a dark face.
Liu Yu nodded and then looked at Su Langqing.
Last night, he and Wuda were cleaning up accounts on the dock overnight. Unexpectedly, the pirates suddenly attacked, and it was also because of the Ming army on the fort that were beaten and gongs and gongs, so they ran out.
At this moment, Su Langqing also felt a pain in pain when he looked at the pier that had collapsed.
"Those burned Mingjuns will ask you."
The Ming army did not have herbal medicines specifically for treating burns, and even military doctors were very few.
In Mingcheng, the situation of the Ming army's wounded soldiers was barely solved through the herbs obtained by the local Yiluo natives and the local doctor.
Now that the Ming army has taken over Weigan, it is natural that a better solution can be obtained for the soldiers being injured.
"Don't worry, sir, I will arrange for the doctor to deal with the burned soldiers here." Su Langqing glanced at the Ming army soldiers lying on the ground, and spoke, enduring the discomfort in his stomach.
"Yes," Liu Yu looked at Su Langqing with gratitude.
"I'll get the silver you need to treat the injury later, go to the mansion to get it later." Liu Yu said.
Not far away, the merchant ships of the chamber of commerce began to slowly sail into the dock.
There is more than one wharf in Weigan, but only this one is controlled by the Ming army.
The dock controlled by the Chamber of Commerce is located on the east side of the port, with a deeper water level and is more suitable for large ships to berth.
"Wuda, go and talk to the chamber of commerce about why they shelled the port." Liu Yu suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"Yes, sir." Uda also clearly felt the anger that filled the atmosphere.
At this moment, he didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly walked in with his head down.
"Where did these pirates come out?" Liu Quandao looked at the burnt corpse that was cleared out of the dock.
His tone was cold, filled with unspeakable tyranny.
"Sir, it may be the ship of the Yulong Gang." Su Langqing approached at this time and said softly.
Many merchant ships in Weigan were robbed by Yulong Gang on the sea these days, so naturally some ships fled back to Weigan.
The sailors on the boat naturally recognized the flag of the Yulong Gang after they had been lucky enough to save their lives.
However, since the Ming army ignored the looting of ships that secretly went to sea, the relevant information was naturally shelved.
And the Ming army naturally suffered.
"Let the Artillery Association bring the artillery to the port," Liu Yu said to a personal soldier.
Although the forts that were originally abandoned by the Spanish were reused by the Ming army, the damaged artillery army did not fill the losses.
First of all, Huben Town lacked artillery, and the heavy artillery it relied on was only the six nine-pound squad artillery.
Secondly, because the pirates and the Spanish competed at sea in Lavague, the Ming army relaxed their vigilance against the port.
However, the tooth-extracted turret still plays its role.
If it weren't for the Ming army at the fort that night, the pirates would have touched Weigan long ago.
It's not too late to repair the sheep when it's lost.
Liu Yu hurriedly ordered people to pull the six nine-pound Saiko cannons originally deployed on the wall of Weigan to the fort.
Although he forced the nine-pound Saiko gun as a sea defense gun, he was a bit of a big deal to put it on the shelves.
But it's better than not.
Liu Yu had no choice. The Ming army lacked everything, but now he has lost so many elite soldiers.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu was also full of anger.
At this time, as the negotiator, Wuda also ran back.
"Sir, misunderstanding is misunderstanding." Wuda was so angry that she ran away and shouted desperately from afar.
"Misunderstanding," Liu Yu looked at the merchant ship docking on the pier not far away and smiled coldly.
"Sir, the Chamber of Commerce said that they were worried that their pier would be robbed by pirates, so they made this bad decision to bombard the pier in the west." Uda finally ran back.
"The Chamber of Commerce is also to blame for the Ming army's casualties, and decided to pay the Ming army's pension." Wuda felt that the Chamber of Commerce had already put aside enough, so she hurriedly ran back.
After all, the sudden attack of pirates was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
