Chapter 1273: There are no two days
"Sir Francisco, further along, we will arrive at Tianjinwee."
Wang Xizuo held a telescope and looked around, sometimes looking down at the chart, sometimes constantly writing and drawing on the map with a pencil.
Sir Francisco cheered up, and after more than half a year of sailing, he finally paid off.
He glanced at Wang Xizuo with appreciation: "Very good, once you succeed, you will become a hero, and the king will receive you again, and maybe even give you the title of knight." When the time comes, you will become a regular in the salon, where we can work together to do treatments that are good for the body and mind. ”
Wang Xizuo: "......"
is still there, he quickly calmed down: "Tianjin Wei has two ports suitable for landing, one is here, this is Dagukou, here is Tanggu, Dagukou is its river estuary, the terrain is gentle, the most favorable landing point. ”
Francisco nodded his head peerlessly, he pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and stood as straight as a javelin: "Are you sure, you are here, and you don't have enough sailor strength." ”
"Most of their ships have gone to sea, the Ming Empire has never been prepared for enemies from the sea, for them, their real enemy is in the north."
Francisco listened, pinched his chin, nodded, Wang Xizuo's words were consistent with the news brought back by many priests who had sneaked into the Ming Empire.
"So, can we get here before dawn tomorrow, and then ......?"
Francisco clenched his fist and made a gesture of slamming his enemy.
Wang Xizuo hesitated: "Actually, I suggest attacking at noon." ”
"Noon?" Francisco was surprised.
Wang Xizuo said: "The army in the east has the habit of being on duty at night, and they will have troops on duty at night...... Their night patrol system is very strict, this is because they do not have a special castle garrison to prevent night attacks, but adopt relatively simple city walls, and even in many places, there are no city walls, at least in the pass. But noon is different, the Han people at noon, to take a quick lunch break, after lunch, this period of time, is precisely when they are the weakest, at this time to attack, will definitely catch them off guard. ”
Wang's answer made Francisco feel incredible.
At this time, he couldn't help but begin to doubt Wang Xizuo's integrity.
Never before in this world has an army taken midday to attack the enemy.
This is an insult to Francisco's IQ.
Francisco frowned: "It's impossible, even if it's a nap, but...... It is too conspicuous, sir, and I am skeptical of your words, and I still think that it is best to attack at dawn. ”
Wang Xizuo thought in his heart, it was really dangerous, death almost passed by him, he thought that he had gained complete trust, who would have expected that he was still careless.
Midday Attack......
It's a bit of a fool's errand.
But the king was also anxious.
If Tianjin Wei has any major losses, his house will be gone.
He didn't want to go to any salons, not at all, and he even began to hate the color of his skin, and he was disgusted with being a Franco.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xizuo smiled and said, "Sir, everything is as you wish, we will attack at dawn." ”
Sir Francisco's face softened, he may not be the real suspicious Wang Xizuo, but he felt that what Wang Xizuo said was just a fantasy.
After an instant, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, here, there are countless people, countless treasures, and countless gold and silver.
If you conquer this place yourself, then ...... He will become the richest man in the world.
Immediately afterward, he began to urgently gather all the officers and give orders to prepare for battle.
The sky was getting darker.
Countless ships walked on the surface of the ocean like ghosts.
Wang Xizuo hid in the cabin, and he looked very anxious.
They...... Did you receive your own letter?
If not, then ...... What will be the situation.
Even if they did, they couldn't be prepared to predict when the fleet would arrive, and what if they ignored it?
As soon as I think of this...... Wang Xizuo couldn't help but rub his abdomen.
He was hungry.
No, he wasn't actually hungry, for he had already eaten three pieces of white bread, and a piece of bacon, and a glass of wine for dinner, but ...... The gluttonous worms in his stomach still hooked up, and the closer he got to Daming, the more he began to miss the taste of many foods.
In Beijing, it was his happiest day.
There, he had no worries about food and clothing, and received two salaries.
He bought a house.
Even...... He also married a wife.
He has a daughter.
He learned Chinese and was able to read poetry and songs.
Even...... He loves to read journals.
In the journal of Quest, he saw heliocentrism.
This is undoubtedly explosive news for him.
It turned out that the earth under his feet was a round ball.
It turns out that the earth revolves around the sun.
So...... What a terrible thing that is.
If so, doesn't God not exist at all?
This is a shaken faith.
But he saw with his own eyes that people were experimenting one by one.
The ship of the Ming Dynasty, orbiting the earth, actually completed a week's voyage.
This made him feel fascinated by the search for journals.
Even...... He is also interested in surgery.
In the past two or three years, he arrived in the West from Daming, and then to Franco, and he returned to his hometown.
But...... The farther away he went, the more his heart ached.
It was a dark journey, as if walking through the darkness and ignorance of oneself.
He was forced to attend all kinds of salons, eat with them so-called 'good things' that were hard to swallow, and listen to some people singing hymns religiously, but all he could think of was the side stove, the beautiful poetry and song that had no theological color, and only personal feelings.
Right now...... Came back on his own.
What kind of fate will you face?
……………
Warship...... I'm shaking.
Under the ship, there are angry waves in the night.
The sky was pitch black, and there were no stars or moons.
But after a while, suddenly, the sky seemed to jerk and opened a line.
A ray of light burst out of that thread and sprinkled down on the earth.
Outside the cabin, there were countless cheers.
Immediately afterward, an excited Sir Francisco kicked open the door of Wang Xizuo's cabin: "We have arrived, we have arrived at the location, there is a city, there is a port. ”
He said......
The order was given.
"Children, attack, kill them, here...... It's yours! ”
…………
Numerous landing ships were laid down.
The sailors cheered, and the heavily armed began to land.
One ship after another, with the tide, washed up on the beach.
THEIR EYES WERE BLOOD-RED, WHICH WAS THE INTERTWINED LOOK OF YUWANG AND GREED.
They had followed ships and conquered half the world, and now they had come here with ships to conquer the other side of this great continent.
"Report, we have been discovered, they have lighthouses, the Ming army on land, prepared."
"What......" Sir Francisco's body shuddered.
He saw the huge lighthouse in the harbor, and the lighthouse was a raging flame, which illuminated half of the sky.
Then he saw the land, as if there was a military camp there, and then they lit a blaze, and God knows if it was a bonfire or a torch.
Francisco was peerlessly annoyed, but he gritted his teeth: "Attack, attack!" ”
The valiant Spanish army, which only attacked, did not retreat.
Most importantly, it's coming.
"You're right, sir." Sir Francisco patted Wang Xizuo on the shoulder: "We should have chosen to attack at noon, but it is a pity that I did not take your advice, it is a pity." ”
Wang Xizuo's mouth was bigger than an egg.
Seemingly......
Seemingly......
Tianjin Wei was really prepared.
He almost wanted to cry out, shouting hooray.
However, he couldn't help it, and he also looked regretful: "Sir, by now, it's too late to regret it." ”
Sir Francisco, in good spirits, looked at the lighthouse in the distance, as if he was thinking that when Francisco the Conqueror took possession of it, he would bulldoze it and erect his own statue here.
"Attack......" he roared.
Countless ships rushed to the shoreline, and the soldiers began to assemble on the beach.
The well-trained Spanish soldiers, all of whom were elite, had experienced many battles and possessed good qualities.
Their gunpowder had been stuffed into their muskets, their bullets had been loaded, their arquebuses had been stuffed into their gunpowder, and they began to assemble with their bags on their backs, their muskets in both hands, and their matching swords hanging from their waists.
Sir Francisco also landed with Wang Xizuo.
The banner of the King of Spain has been raised.
They were all dressed in shiny iron armor and oval iron helmets.
Twelve hundred arquebusiers were in place.
Six hundred sword, shield and spearmen were also in place.
More than two hundred soldiers, even with boats, unloaded dozens of artillery pieces, and they panted and pulled the artillery ashore.
Just ten years ago, the same Spanish infantry regiment, more than 6,000 of them, in Cerignola, nearly 20,000 French troops, among them, there were more than 7,000 famous Swiss mercenaries.
This battle, known as the Battle of Cherinhola, was fought after which Spain, with its sophisticated arquebuses and excellent soldiers, dominated the Francophons, and even forced the French to make peace with the pagan Ottomans in order to resist the Habsburgs.
And now, the same army, after more than half a year of sailing, arrived here, and the battle began.
