Yu Niang was very supportive of Chen Xi. When she learned that Chen Xi was going out of the city to fight against Franji, Yu Niang brought Xier and Yun Liu to help without saying a word.

But when Yu Niang saw that Chen Xi was calling a group of peddlers, she immediately felt amused and laughed. Even if she was almost the same as the Franji people in the hands of the person, she could have combat effectiveness...

It's really not a good deal!

Chen Xi was quite confident and determined, and personally gave a pre-war mobilization speech. To sum it up: Follow me to make achievements, avenge the dead Quanzhou people, and take back the things robbed by the thieves, and whoever gets them will be given.

Even Yu Niang admitted that Chen Xi's words were very inspiring. She did not mention loyalty to the emperor and serving the country at all. She said something real, and even she felt excited when she heard it.

But when she followed the team out of the city, she heard the sound of the city gate closing behind her, and the blood immediately cooled down.

"Mr. Shen, do you think we have a chance of winning after we go?" Yu Niang came to Chen Xi and asked in a low voice.

Chen Xi glanced at her, and the torch shone, her young and handsome face was full of confidence: "If you want me to answer, it must be 10%. But according to the actual situation... there will be about a success."

Yu Niang has known Chen Xi for almost four years and has grown up almost step by step. She can't remember how many times she has seen this face, but she gives her a different feeling every time.

Every time she meets, Chen Xi either makes great progress on the road to the imperial examination or rises to the top of her career. She needs to adjust her psychology again and again to raise her point from her original look up.

But this time Yu Niang was amused and crying: This Lord Shen really feels good about himself!

Just taking a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to fight against the Franchise man, he thought he had the chance of winning. Who gave you the courage and confidence?

Not only is a generation of talents ruined by Quanzhou City.

Yu Niang continued to ask, "I heard that Lord Shen gathered all the fireworks in the city to the southeast of the city, and I don't know why it is used?"

Chen Xi shook his head seriously: "No one can tell me."

Yu Niang was quite helpless and decided not to ask anymore because she felt that she could not keep up with Chen Xi's rhythm. This was really a bold attack, but for some reason, she had a blind trust in Chen Xi.

Yu Niang didn't ask, but others couldn't help it because they found that the way Chen Xi took them was not to the southward direction of Chitong Port, but to the east of Quanzhou, as if to the Quanzhou Guard in Luojiang Town.

"Sir, where are we going?"

"Yes, you don't want to take us away, are you? Our wife, children, and children are all in the city."

The more they walked forward, the more noise the crowd became. Many people were suspicious of the purpose of Chen Xi's attack. However, Zhang Laowu and other yamen runners who were here to stare at Chen Xi to prevent Chen Xi from escaping, but they didn't say a word. They even supported Chen Xi to take a break or seek help from the guards.

"Tell you, we are going to attack the enemy's back this time... Do you know what to attack the enemy's back? Just go around the enemy's butt and catch them off guard... No matter how powerful the Franchise cannon is, can it shoot back?"

Chen Xi's words are simple and straightforward, and can be understood by any of the people in the market, without the style of Hanlin officials being quainted with words.

With such a clear explanation, the crowd immediately settled down, and someone made a voice: "The adults said it very clearly. We just need to follow it. It's great. Those barbarians would never have thought that we would appear behind them and it was time to make achievements."

"Yes, brothers, success will only last tonight."

Yu Niang listened with her ears, and her voice was very familiar. She was the people from the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce who usually followed Chen Xi to work. With these people "appeared to speak" and the people next to her were easily infected.

Yu Niang thought to herself: "What a trick to bewitch people's hearts, it's such a trick!"

With the support of this idea, Yu Niang added a little confidence in Chen Xi again... From this point of view, Lord Shen did not make a decision temporarily, but was prepared!

How could a person with vision and plan easily die?

Yu Niang couldn't help but think of the scene when Chen Xi came up with advice to lure Song Xier when she was in Fuzhou City. Now she thinks it's extremely dangerous, but after thinking about it carefully, isn't fame and fortune all the things that are dangerous?

"boom!"

"boom!"

The sound of the artillery of the Francosmen kept coming, and the closer they went east, the closer they were. Because there were many merchants and warehouses along the Jinjiang River bank in the southeast of Ningbo City, the Francosmen set up guns on the Nanshan Mountain on the east side of the port, taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the hills to bombard the shops and warehouses under the hills.

I heard Chen Xi say to himself: "Fortunately, I notified the Chamber of Commerce in advance, so I don't know how many greedy people have to retreat in the future."

Even if the city of Quanzhou is dangerous, it is protected by the city wall. The caliber of the Franchise Gun is too small to threaten the wall and cannot be killed. Moreover, the Franchise Gun is not targeting Quanzhou Prefecture City. They just want to grab all the shops on the Tsutong Port and the riverside and leave.

How could the Franchise man not be moved by robbing a port in the Ming Dynasty?

Even if they snatched up many people, animals and supplies, their ships were limited and they could not be transported away at all, so they would not waste their energy to attack Quanzhou Prefecture City!

The logic of pirates is very simple. The price of ceramics, tea and silk is shipped to Europe is comparable to gold. This is enough. If there is more, it is purely a cause of trouble.

The Fran aircraft had a serious shortage of manpower. On the one hand, they had to send people to land. In addition to bombing and deterring the Fran aircraft cannons, they also had to rob. On the other hand, they had to mobilize warships to go up against Jinjiang and approach the city walls, which deterred Quanzhou Prefecture City, so that the defenders in the city dared not come out.

The result of the division of troops was that there were not many people landing in the Fran aircraft. The Fran aircraft cannon was quite powerful, but one cannon was only 300 to 400 kilograms. It was transported to the shore by a small boat, and then worked together to send it to the top of the hillside. It took advantage of the height and slope of the hillside to fire, and it also had to continuously transport ammunition, which was time-consuming and laborious to replenish supplies.

Chen Xi’s plan was to cut off the supply line, then kill the people from behind, and kill the Franji people without leaving any armor.

Of course, you can't rush up the mountain stupidly. It's more troublesome to turn the cannon into the firearm, but after all, they have firearms... If they rush up like this, they will shoot a round of mesh guns, and the casualties may not be serious. However, it is too unrealistic to let those roads in the market that they have never experienced even the battle scenes rush forward with projectiles!

If you want to rely on these people to fight, the most important thing is to act in one go. There must be no setbacks, otherwise the morale will only be dispersed if the birds and beasts are gone... Everyone is gone, who will fight to the death?

From afar, you can already see the flames of shells fired at the gun mouth, which made the people in the city who followed him feel a strong crisis.

Fortunately, the distance is long, and every time the fire light comes, it takes a while to hear the sound of cannons. One shot sounds two times, one sounds are the sound of cannons, and the other sound is the sound of cannons after the cannon hits the target.

Yu Niang observed from a distance and found that the slope of the South Mountain was not high, about twenty or thirty meters, just on the coast, there was a mangrove forest on it, which could form a good hidden effect.

However, this kind of terrain has no danger to defend. As long as the officers and soldiers surround the lower part, the Franji people above have to wait for death.

From this point of view, the Francos had no strategy to fight. They just found a mountain that looked almost the same and squatted, fired a few shots to scare people away, and robbed them down and robbed them. They did not leave any of them that could be taken away, and burned the fire that could not be taken away. Then they took a small boat to return to the fleet and retreated.

This is exactly the usual style of pirates, which is similar to Japanese pirates.

The difference is that the Francos mainly relies on their powerful firearms, which have sufficient deterrence, and even the official army dare not provoke them easily.

Of course, the official army also has different thoughts...

As for pirates, they will naturally withdraw after they are robbed. At that time, we will follow us. Since we have the merit of regaining the country and killing some guys who don’t like, we can take the credit to the top of our heads with pride!

Pirates gain something, and the army has military achievements, and each gets its own place.

What is painful is the common people who are looted by pirates below.

After walking about three or four miles, I finally walked around the east of Nanshan. At the beginning, the team led by Shen Xi was still intact, and gradually scattered along the way. When I reached the ground, I had already sneaked away a few of them. It was extremely difficult to catch people at night, but someone was already threatening: "On weekdays, I don't think that you can't find someone if you run away. Turning back will also cure your serious crime of escaping in the face of battle. It's still light to get beaten!"

Everyone touches their heads, it’s still important to be dead. As for getting beaten, they don’t take it seriously.

Shen Xi looked at the top of the mountain. Now it was less than two hundred steps away from the hillside. One charge could be killed. However, because the night was dark and windy, it was impossible to see the situation on the mountain clearly. If the other party was prepared, such a charge was like throwing himself into the trap. It would be better to go to the hillside in the dark.

Shen Xi was facing the part of the Francophone landing, but Quanzhou Prefecture was facing the Francophone's seaship gun.

The situation on the city wall is not optimistic.

Zhang Lian personally supervised the battle at the top of the city. He felt the shells flying around above his head. Occasionally, there would be news of death and injury.

Zhang Lian was extremely angry: "Why did the imperial envoy run away? He should be asked to go to the city to block the shells. If there were shells next to me, wouldn't I die?"

Just when Zhang Lian wanted to take down the city tower and find a place to hide, he saw a dazzling fire suddenly jumping in the sky not far away, rising into the sky and exploded with a "whistle" sound, and colorful fireworks bloomed in the air.

This beautiful firework appeared on the battlefield with shells flying. Zhang Lian felt absurd when he saw it.

What's the use of believing that kid's nonsense? When I turned around and found out, wouldn't I become a joke in the Ming Dynasty?

Just as Zhang Lian was surrounded by people walking under the city wall, fireworks continued to bloom, and the colorful colors in the sky did not attract the attention of the yamen runners and the townsmen at all. Even if the fireworks were gorgeous, they would set off every festival in the city. What's so strange about it?

It's strange that as the fireworks continued to rise, the Franchise cannons seemed to suddenly silence.

It was also Zhang Lian who came to the ground and hid in the Tibetan soldiers' cave on the city wall for a while before he discovered this problem.

No, was it that the Franchise man used up the shells?

At this time, Yu Niang, who was waiting at the foot of the Nanshan Mountain three miles southeast of the city, also saw fireworks blooming in the distance. The fireworks burst into the night sky. It was so dazzling. Like Zhang Lian, she could not understand the use of doing this at all.

The sound of artillery on the hillside stopped as the fireworks continued to rise.

"The things we use to make fireworks, but they use them as artillery... You barbarians have never had the opportunity to see the good things passed down by our ancestors? You are shocked, are you? If you pass on the message, you can rush!"

At Chen Xi's order, a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed up the mountain with weapons in the dark, but none of them dared to shout loudly, because everyone knew that the result of the sound was that they were fired into a sieve by a musket.

Yu Niang looked up at the black shadows rushing up the mountain and sighed: "Where are you on the pirate ship?"
