: My hero and son

Ma Bao received the order and indeed escorted Zhu Cixuan to Huangming Island safely.

A small Anbo Mansion was lost, and the Ming Dynasty's iron-armored warship could be recaptured immediately.

But if the prince encounters an accident, no one can take responsibility, let alone a small captain.

Ma Bao did this without any mistake. You can't say that he is greedy for life and fears death. He really cannot bear the responsibility of Zhu Cilang's accident. It was a serious crime of being executed by Manchu and Mongolia, and it was also a shame for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cixuan understood Ma Bao's mood. He knew that Ma Bao was not afraid of death. Since he could serve as the captain of the armored warship in the Ming army, no one was afraid of death, so Ma Bao was no exception.

But Zhu Cilang is also the crown prince right away. How could he escape when the territory of the Ming Dynasty was attacked? This was not the style of their Zhu family emperor.

For more than two hundred years, the true dynasty emperors had a tradition. No matter how willful they were during their tenure, no one was afraid of death.

Some people love to play with crickets, some focus on alchemy, and some like to do carpenter work, but when they face the enemy, no one will retreat and run away.

Emperor Wanli, who had not attended court for decades, heard that the Japanese invaded the vassal states, withstood the pressure of his ministers, and did not accept life and death, and fought the three major battles of Wanli.

As the most magical emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian's crown prince, how could Zhu Cilang be afraid of death and be an alternative person and smear the ancestors' face?

Before Ma Bao finished speaking, Zhu Cilang stood up, but did not blame Ma Bao. He was indeed doing it for his own good.

"Ma Bao, I am not a person who is afraid of death. If I take a detour today, would I be worthy of being the current prince? I will be ordered by the palace to load the shells and prepare for battle, and drive to Amba Island at full speed. I would rather die in battle than retreat."

Zhu Cilang was very righteous and immediately aroused the morale of all the soldiers on the warship. They were elites who had experienced many battles. Ma Bao and the soldiers raised their fists and shouted in unison:

"We swear to follow His Highness to the death"

"Ming Army Majesty"

"Ming Army Majesty"

...

Zhu Cilang nodded with satisfaction. Although the soldiers were in high spirits, Zhu Cilang knew very well that there were only three hundred navy on the warship and the others were army. They might not be able to help after a naval battle later.

Just in case, he patted Ma Bao on the shoulder:

"General Ma, I am not good at naval warfare. This battle depends entirely on your navy. If we need our help, just give us instructions. There is no prince here, and we are all under your command from now on."

Ma Bao was very moved by the prince's low-key and humbleness. He saluted Zhu Cilang:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we are an iron-armored warship. Under normal circumstances, we will not be severely damaged by our opponents. Then let your guards help the navy carry ammunition. Your Highness and the Mo will take charge of the command."

Zhu Cilang waved his hand:

"Okay, just do as the general wants."

"Did you hear that the Eastern Palace Guard? Now start to act as assistants to the naval artillery immediately, and those who disobey orders will rectify the Dharma on the spot."

"yes"

The Zhengde accelerated and sailed rapidly towards Anbo Island by wind and waves. The observation post was five nautical miles away from Anbo Island and saw three pirate ships bombarding Anbo Island.

The sentry immediately reported to Ma Bao:

"Report to the captain, three pirate ships were found bombarding Ambo Island."

Ma Bao grabbed the telescope and walked out. He wanted to stand at the observation post to command the battle.

Although the observation post was not big, there were three sentries. When Ma Bao observed the outpost next to the big chimney, he suddenly found that Zhu Cilang was also climbing up quickly.

Seeing that the prince's agility was no less than that of him, Ma Bao couldn't help but be shocked. He thought that the prince was a weak scholar, but now he saw that it was not the case at all.

After reacting, Ma Bao hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, this place is dangerous, you can't come up."

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly:

"General Ma doesn't have to worry about me. I feel that this place seems to be safer than the command cabin. There shouldn't be anyone firing fire at such a high place during naval warfare."

Zhu Ciyang was right. At that time, the shells had no parabola, and they all went straight to attack the hulls of warships. The armored warships had no sails, and no one went to fight a sentinel.

Ma Bao was not speaking, raised his telescope and looked at the three pirate ships. Zhu Cixuan also raised his telescope and looked at Anbo Island.

At this time, the island's artillery was fighting against three pirates, but there were few artillery on the artillery, and they were bombarded by the three pirates and had almost no ability to fight back. The artillery was injured and suffered heavy casualties.

"Your Highness, this seems not to be a pirate ship. Eighty cannons on a warship are authentic warships."

Zhu Cilang dots:

"Yes, I don't think it looks like this. Are the Ming warships not armored warships? We can directly penetrate the two warships and use the naval guns on both sides of the armored warships to give them a sudden attack. General Ma, what do you think?"

Zhu Cixuan's words immediately reminded Ma Bao, yes, you can wear it between them and fuck them. At worst, you can get a few shots, and the iron armored warship is completely resistant to thick skin and flesh.

At that time, naval battles were arranged in a row of warships, firing fire at the opponent. After one round of artillery was over, the rudder immediately turned to bombard the opponent with another row of artillery.

The sailing warships are all made of wooden structures, and no navy dares to intersperse among the opponents, which will be sunk by others' concentrated firepower.

But there is no problem with the Ming warships, because they are real iron-armored warships, and the tactics that Zhu Cixuan and Ma Bao will use are also the first time in history.

Zhang Jiexu has been on Anbo Island for so many years. Although he has landed and robbed pirates, he was repelled by the Chinese on the island. He has never attacked them on a large scale.

The island was originally some fleeing Chinese, and they had no wealth at that time. Later, although the Chinese on the island had money, their equipment was also raised and even had artillery.

Attacking an island with artillery is far less than robbing merchant ships for safety for pirates, so the island has not been attacked for many years.

After receiving the order from the superiors, all defense bunkers were built on the island. Zhang Jiexu immediately executed the order and began to build the bunker according to the drawings...

But just as they were working hard to build the defensive bunker, three large pirate ships suddenly came. Without saying a word, they fired fire at the fortress on Ambo Island.

After fighting with the opponent, Zhang Jiexu realized that this was not a pirate ship or a nima warship, and a volley of fire would be more than 200 shells.

Compared with the opponent's naval guns, more than 20 shore guns were simply a trivial matter. Many shore guns were destroyed by them in the first two rounds, and more than half of the artillery were injured or killed.

Zhang Jiexu hurriedly ordered the turret to withdraw, but they rushed towards the coastal defense. Zhang Jiexu and his friends hid the simple city wall and were soon destroyed.

There is nowhere to hide, but Zhang Jiexu has no choice but to retreat, but once the pirates land under the cover of a naval gun, the island will suffer from the creatures.

Zhang Jiexu had no choice but to give a death order, and he and his subordinates lay behind the little stone, preparing to fight the death with the group of robbers.

Suddenly, he found a large warship, dragging the rolling smoke and sailing towards the pirate ship. It was the Ming Iron and Construction Warship, and only the Ming Dynasty had such warships.

"Brothers, we are saved, and the Ming Dynasty did not forget our Anbo Island."

"Really, that's the Ming Dynasty warship, but is there only one useful?"

The Chinese, who had just screamed excitedly, began to worry about the fate of the Ming Dynasty warship when they saw that there was only one warship.
