Chapter 493 Summoning reinforcements [1 more]
In fact, when there was no movement after William and others entered the port, Daliqisi and others vaguely realized that something might have happened to William and his group.
However, out of confidence in his own strength and Alan's words, Daliqisi and others did not think that William and others would have any major problems. Even so, Daliqisi still sent Alan to bring people into the port.
But now it is different. If the loss of contact between William and others is just the beginning, then the help signal sent by the soldiers under Allen made officers such as Daliqisi realize that although they sank those ships, it does not mean that the port really falls under their control.
Not to mention anything else, at least there must be an existence in this port that can threaten their safety.
Thinking of the extraordinary soldiers who had seen in Qianli Mile, Daliqisi and others' original joy was naturally a little bit weakened.
However, out of trust in their own strength, coupled with the fact that they were all over the ocean, the indigenous people who were destroyed by them had never suffered such a big loss. In the eyes of Daliqisi and others, if they had never suffered any losses in the past, they would definitely not suffer any losses this time.
Taking a deep breath, a ruthless look flashed in Daliqisi's eyes and said, "Anlund, you will immediately lead a brigade into the port, and be sure to find Allen, William and others."
An officer stepped forward and bowed to Dalichis, then stepped off the ship, and soon saw a team of Portuguese soldiers taking neat steps to the shore.
This time, Daliqisi made a lot of money and sent more than half of the army soldiers who accompanied the army.
Although this fleet belongs to the navy, there are also many army accompanying the ship, with a total of as many as 2,000 people. In addition to William and Allen took away the soldiers, Daliqisi still had nearly 1,700 people in his hands.
This time, Anlunde took away as many as 1,000 people, and these were thousands of soldiers, especially among these soldiers, at least half of them were holding muskets. As for the other soldiers, they were also equipped with long bows and long swords, which were well-equipped.
Qi Jingtong and others who were hiding in the port also noticed the movement of the Portuguese fleet at this moment. When they saw a group of barbarians coming ashore, a light flashed in Qi Jingtong's eyes and subconsciously clenched their fists.
In this port, Qi Jingtong actually didn't gather many people, about three or four hundred people, although Chu Yi left him two thousand soldiers to take charge of the port.
However, no matter how much Shi Jianguo said, it was a county, and Qi Jingtong had only two thousand soldiers available. Although the port was a major land, Qi Jingtong only left three or four hundred soldiers.
Don’t think that the number of soldiers left by Qi Jingtong is small. In fact, in comparison, the port is very safe. Not to mention the rest, the combat power brought by the two warships Changping and Changning can be sufficient to deal with all changes.
In other words, after encountering such a whole Portuguese fleet, otherwise, if the fleet under Daliqisi was slightly weaker, it would be impossible to sink the two warships of Changning and Changping, and it would be even more impossible to break into the port.
Shi Jian Yinshan is actually the place where Qi Jingtong is most concerned. As one of the few large silver mines in Japan, Shi Jian Yinshan is the top priority. Just Shi Jian Yinshan gathered about 50,000 or 60,000 slaves.
You should know that when Shijian Silver Mine was at most, there were only a few thousand slaves who were miners to mine minerals and smelter gold, silver and other things. After Shijian Silver Mine fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, these generals in the army were simply crazy when they saw the Shijian Silver Mine arresting Japanese civilians everywhere and escorting them to the mine as slaves to dig mines.
In a short period of time, as many as 100,000 Japanese civilians were taken into Shijian Yinshan, and a large number of slaves were exhausted to death. Even so, almost as many as 50,000 or 60,000 slaves were maintained in the mines.
With so many slaves, even if some Japanese people helped suppress and maintain them, Qi Jingtong still arranged a thousand elite soldiers to take charge in Shijian Yinshan.
A thousand elite soldiers, plus almost thousands of Japanese who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, finally completely controlled the situation of Shijian Silver Mine. Even so, slave resistance incidents broke out from time to time.
Therefore, Qi Jingtong didn't dare to draw too many soldiers at all. One thousand soldiers was the bottom line. If there were fewer ones, the slaves in the mine might really rebel.
In addition, Shi Jian's domestic order always needs to be maintained. After all, no matter how crazy it is, it is impossible to capture hundreds of thousands of Japanese people. So after the initial madness, the Ming Dynasty stopped this move and began to rule these people.
If you calculate this way, you can imagine the available soldiers in Qi Jingtong's hands.
At this moment, Qi Jingtong had only three or four hundred soldiers under his command. He had previously used the advantage of numbers and the advantage of the location, and there was no problem in attacking William, ambushing Allen and others.
But at this moment, the Portuguese fleet sent thousands of excellent soldiers. Even when Qi Jingtong saw the neat lineup, holding the muskets and slowly entering the port with his shield, Qi Jingtong's expression couldn't help but be a little solemn.
The deputy general beside Qi Jingtong saw the situation in the distance and couldn't help but look at Qi Jing's passage: "Sir, there are too many of these barbarians, what should we do next?"
Qi Jingtong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Even if the last soldiers and soldiers fight, these barbarians will never be allowed to occupy the port. Otherwise, even if this general dies, he will have no face to face the general!"
However, Qi Jingtong is not a fool. The number of people on both sides is so big that he naturally would not foolishly lead people to fight against each other. Instead, he took advantage of the advantage of the geographical advantage to fight guerrilla war with Anlunde between the architectural communities everywhere.
Although he had to face Qi Jingtong's sneak attacks from time to time, with the advantage of the number of people and the neat military formation, the pace of Anlunde and his team were not affected at all, and soon the injured Allen and others were found.
Originally, there were almost hundreds of people like Allen, but under Qi Jingtong's ambush, less than half of them survived, and Allen was even injured.
When he saw Anlund, Allen's eyes were full of scarlet color and said to Anlund: "Anlund, you must catch the timid mouse. I will peel them alive!"
Obviously, in Allen's opinion, his invincible naval officer at the sea suffered such a great loss at the hands of a group of natives. How could this not make Allen angry?
When he arranged for someone to send Alan back to the ship, Anlund made steady progress, without being influenced by Alan, and he pushed little by little, compressing the living space of Qi Jingtong and others.
If there is no accident, it will take long for Qi Jingtong and others to lose their hiding place. After all, under An Lunde's push, Qi Jingtong and others will not fight hard, but they can only retreat slowly. However, the port is so big, even if there are only so many newly built courtyards. Once they are forced out of the port, there will be a wilderness around them. Qi Jingtong and others will naturally be exposed before An Lunde's thousands of soldiers.
Just as Qi Jingtong was using the location to drag Anlunde, Shi Jian, a group of people were coming quickly towards the port in the direction of Yinshan.
The mine is about ten miles away from Shijian Port, and it doesn't take much time to rush it.
When he realized something was wrong, Qi Jingtong sent his personal soldiers to Shijian Mine to mobilize troops. Now it has been almost an hour or two.
At this moment, smoke and dust were rolling on the earth, and a group of people were coming towards the port at an extremely fast speed.
The leader was a team of well-equipped cavalry, with almost hundreds of people, and behind them was a crowd of black people, looking like a group of farmers.
Needless to say, these hundreds of cavalry were naturally the Ming soldiers who were in charge of the mines, while the black crowd behind them were the surrendered Japanese soldiers.
These Japanese soldiers naturally became the minions of the Ming Dynasty, helping the Ming Dynasty manage the order in the mines and suppress slaves who dared to resist.
Mao Yuan was a hundred households, and his more than a hundred cavalrymen under him can be said to be all the cavalry that could be collected from the mines, and they were all assigned to him by the officials of thousands of households.
At this moment, Mao Yuan shouted angrily at the Japanese soldiers behind him, urging these soldiers to hurry up and rush to go.
You can see smoke from the direction of the port from afar. Mao Yuan knew that the situation at the port was probably not optimistic, but Mao Yuan never worried about anything.
The Ming Dynasty was invincible in all directions, and even the powerful Tatars were beaten to almost exterminate their clans. If they fell into trouble in this barbaric land, that would be a strange thing.
