Chen Mu has mixed feelings for the widows.

Born in later generations, he experienced the humiliating pain of China being semi-colonized by Western powers, which made it difficult for him to have a good impression of Westerners.

Even if a Westerner is really as gentlemanly and friendly as he imagined, it is difficult to impress him, not to mention that they do not seem to be very advanced and civilized except for weapons.

Is it foolish to worship the god of the kiln to pour fire and water to obtain ore, but to open a mine with a cross and explosives is called faith?

The attitude of the suzerainty of the Celestial Empire towards the tributary state towards the world is arrogant, and the animals of different skin colors and races are considered to be animals walking upright on their legs, but they are civilized?

Because Chen Mu hated those barbarians, he should regard those who had the courage to break the law and fight overseas in this era as heroes, and was even willing to give them appropriate assistance to support them in their fight against the Western colonizers.

But Guanghaiwei and the current Guangzhou Mansion let Chen Mu know why they were called Wako.

The cannon slowly pushed up to the high ground, Wei Balang's soldiers used the wooden cards they carried to go downhill in front of the artillery array to make improvised fortifications, and the sixty bird guns were used as the force to defend the artillery position, and the seven guan guns were lined up, turning the muzzles of the guns to face the front of the Japanese formation.

The defending army has long found itself that there is neither a governor nor a governor in the city, Yu Dayou is in Chaozhou, Tang Kekuan is in Leizhou, and the garrison of Guangcheng is the general Wang Rulong, who sent people to Pegasus to report the news, so that Chen Mu should not act rashly - there are cannons on the warships on the shore, and there are quite a few of them.

Not far from the artillery position, Chen Mu frowned and opened the telescope to look towards the shore.

This is by no means good news for him, the camera zooms in on the somewhat out of shape scene and tells Chen Mu that the Japanese are setting up camp, they have demolished the houses in Xin'an County, and the wood, masonry and stone are transported down from the boat, and the two camps on the shore and Jiangxin Island are set up to attack and defend each other, but Chen Mu can't see the gunboats.

From his point of view, he could only see all kinds of small boats stranded in the shallow water on the shore, and those small boats, regardless of shape, had no guns, not even a single one. This is very abnormal, those small boats with the Arabian style and even the Franco-style style obviously did not have a copy purchased from the Yi merchants, who sold everything, but the warships would not sell.

It wasn't bought, then there was only one possibility, it was robbed by these East Asian pirates.

After the Yishang passed through the route to become rich, the first thing they had to do was often to arm their fleet, even if it was a small boat, they would set up one or two cannons, even if it was a roundabout gun like the Franco, to provide basic armed defense.

But Chen Mu didn't see it, not even a Franco machine.

"Could it be that Counselor Wang's news is wrong?" Xinhui Qianhu Huang Dexiang was a little eager to try, and the large number of friendly troops greatly boosted his courage, and he hugged his fists and said: "If Chen Qianhu stays here for a while, Lao Huang will lead his troops to the front to explore the depths of the Japanese Kou!" ”

Lao Huang is very bold.

If Chen Mu only had one hundred and fifty soldiers under his command, he would never dare to say such a thing, and he would still take the initiative to ask for orders to explore the place where the garrison of thousands of Japanese soldiers was located, and use his body to test where the ship cannons were hidden?

"Don't, I believe in the king." Chen Mu shook his head resolutely, this Huang Qianhu looks good, but he doesn't want to see him killed by a bombardment by the Japanese Kou, it's too cowardly, "Don't worry, take a look first." ”

Zeng Yi came, and Chen Mu was not in a hurry.

This is also a helpless move, the cannon on the corner tower of Guangcheng is more and more urgent, the earliest only half an hour to blast a cannon, now every other moment to blast a cannon, listen to the sound is not different from the cannon off, nor different from the Franco tiger squatting and other gadgets, but it is likely to be the general cannon he has not yet seen.

The more rapid the sound of the fort on the city, the more it means that the pirates have looted the places beyond the firing range, and they can only venture into the range of the castle fort to loot the houses, and then they are shelled by the castle tower.

Judging from the quiet situation on the shore now, Zeng Yi's cannon, which Chen Mu couldn't see, obviously couldn't hit Guangcheng.

Chen Mu didn't know what Zeng Yiyi was waiting for, but he was waiting, waiting for the battalion soldiers, the guards, waiting for a bird, to try Zeng Yiyi's depth.

"The key to this battle is the cannon, the cannon of the previous book." Chen Mu pointed and said, assigning Wei Balang to move the artillery forward again, "There, the army formation is gathered on the back slope, and the cannon is pushed to the left downhill, and it is best to see the enemy camp, this side is too far." ”

They were too far away from Zeng's camp, and Chen Mu originally planned to set up seven cannons a thousand steps away from the camp, so that Deng Zilong and others could lead the army out of the battle, and most of the Japanese would be drawn out of the village.

But at present, the enemy army has an unknown number of ship guns, so Chen Mu does not dare to do so.

The banner army of Xiangshan has fought a tough battle, and they are familiar with dealing with the Japanese invaders, the only problem is that they have bombarded others with artillery, but they have not been bombarded by the enemy.

It's okay for one or two artillery pieces to bombard it, and there are some casualties, but it's a little like when he bombarded Xu Jinmei in Haojing Ao, more than 60 artillery pieces bombarded it at once, and there was a fart morale, all of them were busy hugging their heads and running around, and they couldn't control it at all.

Now Wang Rulong Town Guangzhou Mansion, outside the southwest of the city is Chen Mujun and the guards along the way, outside the southeast of the city is Zeng Yi's pirate army, it is not so easy to wait for a bird, helpless, Chen Mu decided to take a small risk.

"Bring a few soldiers with me."

The soldiers and horses marched and shifted the formation, Chen Mu also took Qi Zhengyan and a few soldiers to the nearest high slope, he wanted to personally climb the mountain to show his face, to see how many warships there were on the shore and Jiangxin Island, and how many cannons were on those warships!

It is said to be a risk, but in fact there is no risk, there are only two telescopes in the entire Guangzhou Mansion, one is in the hands of Bai Yuanjie, and the other is in the hands of Chen Mu.

Regardless of the dirt on the armor, Chen Mu crouched on the top of the mountain and looked at the river, only to feel that it was an eye-opener, pirates are pirates.

Those small boats parked on the shore are just vassals, and the real big ships are sailing on the river, and there are more than a dozen two-masted and three-masted Wuwei Fu ships of different sizes, and more than a dozen Franco-aircraft and strange cannons in a mess; There are more than 20 white ships used to catch big fish along the coast, and there are five or six large and small Franco machines on them.

In addition, there are Japanese-style wooden houses built up of the eight boats, the Chinese troop-carrying eight boats docked on the edge of Jiangxin Island, Zeng Yi's subordinates almost gathered all kinds of ships in East Asia, but the big ships are loaded with artillery, almost the same as Yu Dayou's fleet, no wonder Wang Rulong asked him not to act rashly, thirty or forty warships loaded with more than 200 large and small cannons, scattered over I am afraid that the soldiers who have not yet engaged him will collapse.

"Qianhu, there is a group of men and horses over there, it looks like a battalion soldier, and it plans to attack Zeng Yiyi!"

The first bird to test the water is coming, to the east of Guangcheng, a battalion of four or five hundred people in the oblique stab under the general leadership of the general formation slowly attacked the scattered pirates who plundered the Quartet, Chen Mu was greatly invigorated, and waved his hand: "Pull our cannon out, and then push forward, their ship cannon can't hit, wait until the battle is about to start and help the friendly army bombard for a while!" ”
