The Most Powerful Man in the World

Because William discovered the ambush soldiers at the first time, he said that he reacted immediately and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground. He was stunned to escape.

It can be said that if William hadn't reacted immediately, then he might have been shot into a hedgehog by now.

Hiding behind a huge box, William looked around. Although he said he couldn't see where the soldiers who were ambushing them were hiding at the moment, Sleepy William felt the imminent danger, which meant that he was hiding. Those who ambushed them in the dark were afraid that it would not be long before they were found.

Right next to William, the faces of the dozen or so Portuguese soldiers who had escaped the disaster were still a bit frightened. The wave of arrows just now was too scary.

There were dozens of them in their group, and as a result, almost two-thirds of them fell down under that wave of arrows.

There were only a dozen of them left in the dozens. The most important thing was that not far from them, the companions who had just landed with them fell to the ground and screamed again and again.

Abel was a soldier, but at this moment, his eyes were red as he looked at a fellow countryman who fell to the ground not far away with an arrow stuck in his chest.

Albert, as his fellow countryman, could say that the two had a very good friendship in the army. At this moment, Abel couldn't help screaming, and suddenly rushed out of the obstacle and rushed towards Albert, who was lying on the ground.

I have to say that Abel's actions were beyond the expectations of William and others. When William reacted, he couldn't help shouting at Abel: "Abel, come back..."

Obviously, Abel rushed up to save Albert. It seemed that he was stimulated by Abel, and two more soldiers rushed out from behind the obstacle.

However, when they rushed to the side of the companions who were hit hard by the arrows, suddenly, several arrows came out of the air, and instantly disappeared into their bodies.

Abel watched helplessly as a finger arrow sank into his chest. A piercing pain made Abel's body soften, and he fell weakly beside Albert. At the moment of confusion, Abel could only see a short distance away. Several figures were holding bows and crossbows and looked at them expressionlessly.

William and the others watched helplessly as the three of Abel who rushed out fell down, smashing the ground angrily.

Qi Jingtong didn't seem to hear the mourning of the Portuguese soldiers, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and when he waved his hand, he immediately saw a dozen elite soldiers hunched over and approached William and the others quietly.

It seems that he heard the movement, or noticed the actions of these soldiers, William and the others rushed out suddenly, boom, boom, boom.

The fire gun lashed, and the lead bullet pierced through the body, but the soldiers dispatched by Qi Jingtong also shot arrows in an instant.

Between the splashes of blood, the two sides were only a few feet apart, and in one face-to-face, most of them collapsed.

At such a close distance, neither the guns nor the crossbows had time to fire, so both sides instinctively threw the guns or crossbows in their hands, then drew out their waist knives and long swords and rushed towards each other.

At this time, firearms were just emerging, and even the fighting between Western armies still relied on cold weapons to a certain extent, so these Portuguese soldiers were quite brave in fighting.

It's a pity that the number of Portuguese soldiers is not dominant, just like the battleships Changning and Changping were sunk by a group of beatings, a dozen Portuguese soldiers were just a blink of an eye, and they were surrounded and killed on the spot by the Daming soldiers who rushed out.

In the port, Dalikis and other Portuguese generals used telescopic mirrors to follow the movements of William and his group. Unfortunately, after landing, Dalikis and others could not see it as if they were on the sea because of the obscurity of the buildings. Clear everything.

After the silhouettes of William and the others were blocked, Dalikis and others could no longer grasp the whereabouts of William and others.

There was a faint sound of a rush of fire, which seemed to indicate that William and the others had encountered an enemy. They were not surprised by this. After all, they had noticed Qi Jingtong and the other team through the telescopic mirror. Soldiers retreated into the port.

If William and the others did not encounter any accidents when they entered the port, it would be a strange thing.

Allen looked at Daliqisi with a smile on his face and said: "General, don't worry, the team led by William can be said to be the elite of our army, even if it encounters several times the number of enemies, it is enough. Self-defense, even if it is not an opponent, it is not difficult to exit safely..."

Soon the sound of the gunfire disappeared, and Allen said with certainty and a bit of disdain: "I think William and the others have already eliminated their opponents, how can a group of losers who do not have the courage to fight head-on with us can be William's opponents? !"

Allen's words naturally caused the Portuguese officers to nod their heads in deep approval, obviously agreeing with Allen's words.

As for whether William and his party will encounter any danger, everyone has never thought about it.

However, the tea time has passed, and the port is quiet, but there is no movement at all. If it is only like this, William and his party who entered the port did not send a signal according to the previous agreement, so they had to let Da Li Qisi and others became a little worried.

After all, according to the previous agreement, every time a cup of tea was over, William and the others would send a signal to tell everyone if they were safe.

But it's been a long time since then. According to the agreement, William should have sent a signal or sent someone back to summon the news.

"What's the matter, how long has it been, why haven't William and the others sent someone back, not even a signal!"

As William's boss, Alan, who had just vowed to be sure that William and the others were safe, had an ugly face, but he still insisted: "Perhaps William and the others were delayed by something, the general should have confidence in William and the others."

Glancing at Allen, Dali had a somewhat unpleasant feeling in his heart, took a deep breath, and said to Allen: "Allen, take someone to take a look, be sure to find William and the others. !"

Allen saluted Dali Qisi and scolded: "William, don't let me find him, I'm so embarrassed, I have to make him look good!"

Soon Allen led a group of people to the shore. This time, Allen brought as many as a hundred people and went into the port aggressively.

After Iwami Port fell into the Ming Dynasty, more and more merchant ships came, and Iwami Port became more and more prosperous. Within half a year, Qi Jingtong built a large number of houses on the original foundation. These houses Either it was rented as a warehouse by those maritime merchants, or it was leased as a residence.

At this moment, Qi Jingtong took his men and horses to hide among this large building community.

After traveling for more than a hundred meters, suddenly a bloodstain appeared in front of him. Allen and a group of Portuguese soldiers cheered up, showing a bit of solemnity on their faces.

"Look, this... this seems to be Albert's favorite cross!"

Seeing that among the bloodstains, a silver cross covered with blood was thrown to the ground.

"God, this... This is really Albert's cross. He is treated like a treasure on weekdays. How could he be left here, Albert, shouldn't he be..."

As if thinking of something, the faces of several soldiers who were familiar with Albert immediately became ugly. If their guess is true, doesn't it mean that Albert has most likely lost his life.

Thinking that Albert might have lost his life, the soldiers couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked around with a look of alertness, as if they wanted to find the murderer who took Albert's life in the dark.

At this moment, a harsh sound of breaking through the air came, and a rain of arrows covered the head. This sudden attack was like a torrential rain, directly stunning Alan and others.

Allen and others were not mentally prepared at all. After all, they have always been smooth sailing. Even when they faced the natives, they were chasing the natives for slaughter. How could they ever be ambushed.

It is precisely because of this that Alan and the others were not mentally prepared, and as many as 30 to [-] people fell down in the blink of an eye.

Allen rolled and hid in the corner, grinning at the arrow stuck in his leg, gritted his teeth and shouted at the scrambled soldiers: "Send a signal, send a signal, please General Dalicis has sent reinforcements!"

Soon several soldiers took out the flares from their arms, and the fireworks exploded in the air. In this blue sky and daytime, they were more eye-catching. At least Dalicis and other naval officers who had been paying attention to the movement above the port watched. When the fireworks arrived, their expressions changed greatly.

[That who, who, the second update, who said that the fleas are degraded, there is no... 】

Chapter 490 Three Summoning Reinforcements 【Part 1】

In fact, when William and the others stopped moving after they entered the port, Dalikis and others faintly realized that something might have happened to William and his party.

However, out of self-confidence in their own strength, coupled with Allen's remarks, Daliqisi and others at least don't think that William and others will have any big trouble. Even so, Daliqisi still It was Allen who was sent to bring people into the port.

But now it is different. If the loss of William and others is just the beginning, then the distress signal sent by Allen's soldiers at this moment makes Dalicis and other officers realize that although they said they were sinking Those ships, but it does not mean that the port has really fallen into their control.

Not to mention, at least there must be existences in this port that can threaten their safety.

Thinking of the imposing soldiers who had retreated into the port they saw in the telescopic mirror, the original joy of Dalikis and others naturally faded a little.

However, out of trust in their own strength, coupled with the fact that they traverse the ocean, the indigenous people they have destroyed are innumerable, and they have never suffered such a big loss. In the eyes of Daliqisi and others, they have never suffered from it before. It's a loss, so this time it will definitely not be a loss.

Taking a deep breath, a ruthless look flashed in Dali Qisi's eyes and said: "Anlund, you immediately lead a team to enter the port for me, be sure to find Allen, William and others."

I saw an officer step forward and salute Daliki, then stepped off the ship, and soon saw a group of Portuguese soldiers walking ashore in neat steps.

This time, Dali Qisi made a lot of money, but he dispatched more than half of the soldiers who accompanied the army.

Although this fleet is said to belong to the navy, there are quite a few troops accompanying the ship. There are as many as 2000 people. Excluding the soldiers who were taken away by William and Allen, at this moment Dali Qisi still has nearly one There are more than 700 people.

And this time, An Lunde took away as many as 1000 people, which is thousands of soldiers, especially among these soldiers, at least half of them are armed with firecrackers. As for the other soldiers are also equipped with longbows, long The sword can be described as 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 barbarian soldiers ashore, Qi Jingtong's eyes flashed a bright light, and he clenched his fists subconsciously.

In this port, the manpower assembled by Qi Jingtong is actually not many, there are about three to four hundred people, although Chu Yi left him two thousand soldiers to sit in the port.

However, Shi Jianguo still had the size of a county. Qi Jingtong only had [-] available soldiers. Although the port was said to be an important place, Qi Jingtong only left [-] or [-] soldiers.

Don't think that the number of soldiers left behind by Qi Jingtong is small. In fact, in comparison, the port is very safe. If nothing else, the combat power brought by the two battleships Changping and Changning alone is sufficient. Cope with everything.

That is to say, they encountered such an entire Portuguese fleet. Otherwise, if the fleet under Daliqisi's fleet was slightly weaker, it would not have been possible to sink the two battleships Changning and Changping, and it would be even more impossible to break in. in the port.

Iwami Silver Mountain is actually the place that Qi Jingtong cares most about. As one of the few large silver mines in Dongying, Iwami Silver Mountain can be said to be the top priority. It is almost the same on the Iwami Silver Mine. fifty or sixty thousand slaves.

You must know that when the Iwami silver mine was at its most, there were only a few thousand slaves as miners to mine mines and smelt gold and silver. After the Iwami silver mine fell into the hands of Daming, these generals looked at Iwami. The silver mines are simply crazy, and they arrest the commoners of Dongying everywhere and send them to the mines as slaves for digging the mines.

In a short period of time, as many as [-] Dongying civilians were imprisoned in the Iwami Silver Mountain, and a large number of slaves died of exhaustion. thousands of slaves.

With so many slaves, even if some of the Dongying people helped to suppress and maintain it, Qi Jingtong still arranged a thousand elite soldiers to sit in Iwami Silver Mountain.

A thousand elite soldiers, plus almost thousands of Dongying people who had taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, had completely controlled the situation of the Iwami Silver Mine. Even so, the Iwami Silver Mine still had slave revolts from time to time.

Therefore, Qi Jingtong didn't dare to recruit too many soldiers at all. One thousand soldiers was already the bottom line. If it were any less, the slaves in the mine would really rebel.

In addition, Iwami's domestic order always needs to be maintained. After all, no matter how crazy they are to arrest people, it is impossible to capture hundreds of thousands of Eastern Ying people. So after the initial madness , Daming stopped this behavior and began to rule these people instead.

If you do this calculation, you can imagine the available soldiers in Qi Jingtong's hands.

At this moment, Qi Jingtong only had three or four hundred soldiers under his command. With the advantage of the number of soldiers, coupled with the geographical advantage, there was no problem in attacking William, ambushing Allen and others.

But at this moment, the Portuguese fleet has dispatched thousands of excellent soldiers. Even when Qi Jingtong saw that the formation was neat, the firearms were walking in neat steps, and the shields slowly entered the port, the expression on Qi Jingtong's face couldn't help A bit dignified.

The lieutenant beside Qi Jingtong saw the situation in the distance and couldn't help turning to 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 battle reaches the last soldier and one soldier, these barbarians must not be allowed to occupy the port, otherwise, even if this general is dead, he will have no face to face the Chief General! "

However, Qi Jingtong is not a fool. The gap between the numbers of the two sides is so large that he will not foolishly lead people to fight against each other recklessly. Instead, he takes advantage of the geographical advantage to start a guerrilla war with Anlund among the building communities here and there.

Although it was said that they had to face Qi Jingtong's sneak attacks from time to time, with the advantage of the number of people and the neat army formation, the progress of Anlund's troops was not affected at all, and they soon found the injured Allen and others.

Originally, there were almost hundreds of Alan and others, but under the ambush of Qi Jingtong, less than half of them survived, and Alan was even injured.

When he saw Anlund, Allen's eyes were full of scarlet and said to Anlund: "Anlund, you must catch me that cowardly mouse, I will strip them alive. Skin!"

Obviously, in Allen's view, his dignified and invincible naval officer suffered such a big loss at the hands of a group of natives. How can this not make Allen annoyed.

Arranged to send Allen back to the ship, but Anlund was steady and unaffected by Allen at all. A little bit of advancement compressed the living space of Qi Jingtong and others.

If things go on like this, if there is no accident, it won't take long for Qi Jingtong and others to lose their hiding place. After all, under Anlund's flat push, Qi Jingtong and the others are not opponents and can only slow down. Retreat, but the port is so big, and even the newly built courtyards only have so many. Once they are forced out of the port and surrounded by wilderness, Qi Jingtong and others will naturally be exposed to Anlund's thousands of troops.

Just when Qi Jingtong was dragging Anlund with the help of the geographical advantage, a group of men and horses from Iwami Yinshan were rushing towards the port.

The mine is located about a dozen miles away from Iwami Port, and it doesn't take much time to hurry up.

When he realized that something was wrong, Qi Jingtong sent his personal soldiers to Iwami Mine to mobilize troops and horses. It has been almost an hour or two now.

At this moment, the dust was billowing on the earth, and I saw a group of people rushing towards the port at a very fast speed.

The leader was a group of well-equipped cavalry, almost a hundred people, and behind it was a black mass that looked like a group of farmers.

Needless to say, the hundreds of cavalrymen were the Ming soldiers who were sitting in the mines, and the dark crowd behind them were the surrendered Dongying soldiers who had been gathered up.

These Dongying soldiers naturally became Daming's minions, helping Daming manage the order in the mines and suppressing slaves who dared to resist.

Mao Yuan is a hundred households, and the more than one hundred cavalry under his command can be said to be all the cavalry that can be gathered from the mines, and they were all assigned to him by the officials of the thousand households.

At this moment, Mao Yuan shouted angrily at the Dongying soldiers behind him, urging them to hurry up.

From a distance, he could see smoke of gunpowder in the direction of the port, and Mao Yuan knew that the situation in the port was not very optimistic, but Mao Yuan never worried about anything.

Daming is invincible in all directions, and even the powerful Tartars were beaten to almost wipe out their clan.

Of course, Mao Yuan is not a fool, and it is obvious that the opponent he is facing this time is definitely not easy to be able to order his own generals to dispatch troops.

"Could it be that several Japanese pirates at sea have united?"

Things like the Japanese pirates' invasion of Ishijian Port have been experienced no less than a dozen times in the past six months. After all, when the port became prosperous, the first to provoke these lawless and daring pirates.
