Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 795 The oriole is behind

However, Li Jinglong did not know Philip's strategy at this time. In his heart, those red-haired Rakshasa devils were not even as good as the bandits gathered in Xiaoshan Forest. In the past, they were played around by his fifth uncle and others, so he could not think of any clever strategies.

He was standing at the bow of the treasure ship, confidently preparing to defeat the Rakshasa devils who dared to challenge the power of the Ming Dynasty. After washing away his dereliction of duty, he returned to Yingtian, accepted the reward from the court, and glorified the lintel of Cao Guogong's palace.

Little did he know that after learning the news that he was sending his troops, Philip immediately set sail with his fleet, bypassing the advancing Ming Army's Nanyang Fleet and heading straight for Tamkang Port located in the north of Dawan Island.

Li Jinglong and his fleet arrived at the hinterland of the former Dadu Kingdom located in the west of Dawan. When he saw many people on the coast, they were busy building ports and fortifications. Li Jinglong, thinking that this was where the red-haired Rakshasa ghosts were stationed, immediately set up their formations. Prepare to bombard the port.

Philip gave the White Lotus sect the task of guarding the port, and left some British sailors to guard Shopkeeper Fu and others. However, Shopkeeper Fu was not an idiot. He had already guessed his intentions from the arrangements of the British and the movement of the ships... so he sent a church member early on a small sampan, holding a white flag, to the Ming army's ship.

"...You mean, the people on this shore are all the natives of the Big Belly Country who were kidnapped by the Rakshasa people and used as a cover?"

"Those Rakshasa people drove ships and attacked our Tamjiang Port in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, yes, sir, it's absolutely true." This White Lotus disciple is none other than Fang Tuozi. He looks like an honest man. If he didn't have a tumor on his neck, it would be difficult to recognize him even if he was thrown into a crowd. come out. At this time, he pretended to be frightened and kowtowed in front of Li Jinglong, which made people think that he was just an honest man. "I, how dare I deceive you, sir..."

"Then where are you from? And why are you here?" Li Jinglong looked at Fang Zuozi suspiciously.

"We, we are fishermen in Hangzhou. We thought these Rakshasa ghosts were just hiring sailors to do the work, but we were accidentally tricked onto the ship by them." Fang Zuozi's face became even more aggrieved. "They left us here and forced us to use the indigenous people to build the port as a cover. We are all good people, how can we dare to fight against the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers?"

"The Rakshasa people are so crazy that they dare to attack Tamkang Port... After we defeat them, we will pick you up and return to your hometown."

As a result, the Nanyang Navy, which was ready to bombard the shore, began to turn around and return. Fang Zuozi was sent back to the shore, while Shopkeeper Fu squinted at the Ming Dynasty fleet that was gradually going away.

Li Jinglong, Li Gui, and others looked at each other and believed in Fang Tuzi's words. However, when the army is marching, no unrelated people can be carried on the ship. Li Jinglong then said to him, "Please be patient and stay here for a while."

"Shopkeeper, is this enough?" Fang Zuozi asked.

"Sir, gentlemen, we just want to go back to Hangzhou... Please be kind and take me home!" After saying that, he kowtowed several times in tears.

"That's enough. Those Rakshasa devils originally expected me to wait here to delay the Ming army... Now that the Ming army will return in a moment, they will definitely collide with those Rakshasa people."

"The Rakshasa people want to attack in the east and in the west... But if they don't kill each other, how can I stand a chance?"

"We have to hurry up and rectify this place. Whether the Ming army wins or the Rakshasa devils win this battle, we have to rely on this place to fight to the death with the remaining party... But it doesn't matter. After they fight, the remaining One side must also be in weakness." "As long as we recruit enough Ban people and step up the construction of fortifications... No matter whether the Ming people or the Rakshasa people win, they will definitely not be able to capture this place. And as long as we defend it once, we can be considered standing. Got a firm footing.”

"From now on, relying on sea trade routes, we will naturally have enough financial resources to develop and expand. It is not impossible to counterattack the Ming Dynasty in the future..."

His words made the blood of all the White Lotus sect members boil. Geng Datou asked: "Shopkeeper, what about the remaining Rakshasa people here?"

Philip left them here, so it was impossible to leave them without someone to guard them. Geng Datou was talking about the dozens of Rakshasa people who were guarding them and the Fan captives here.

"...There is no need to continue dealing with those Rakshasa people. Just kill any barbarians." Shopkeeper Fu ordered calmly.

Geng Datou, Fang Zuozi and others looked at each other, with a flash of joy in their eyes.

The time has come for the oriole to prepare to seize the fruits of victory.

……

After confirming that the port to the west was just an old suspicion formation, Li Jinglong immediately changed the direction of the fleet and headed straight back to Tamjiang Port. At this time, Philip and Felut's fleet was storming Tamkang Port.

As they expected, the furious Li Jinglong mobilized almost all of the Nanyang fleet in order to win with one blow. As a result, the defense of Tamjiang Port, which can be called the hub port of Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, was unprecedentedly empty.

When the British fleet appeared at Tamkang Port, the few Ming soldiers and private soldiers of Cao Guogong's government on the island fell into panic almost instantly. At this time, most of the leading figures in Tamkang Port, such as Li Jinglong and Li Gui, went out with the army. There was no leader in the port and there was chaos.

Fortunately, the Europeans' fighting power at this time was not very difficult to resist. At this time, blunderbuss and artillery were not popular in Europe, so after throwing several rounds of arrows at the port, these sailors from Britain chose to land and fight. European men wielding broadswords, like unorganized pirates, rushed into the port and started setting fire to it.

The soldiers of Ming Dynasty became much calmer after seeing their bandit-like behavior. Most of them are well-trained regular troops, and they know how to suppress bandits even if they close their eyes. Without anyone's orders, squads of the Ming Army spontaneously began to fight in the streets with the British people. Although the number was far smaller than the pirate-like Western barbarians, they gradually stabilized their position.

Later, the natives of the Dadu Kingdom and the Gaoshan tribe living in Tamjiang Port also spontaneously joined the battle... The indigenous people of the Dadu Country recognized the identities of these barbarians and knew that these people were responsible for the destruction of their tribe. The culprit who drove them here. The Gaoshan people have always been on good terms with the Ming Dynasty, and they are not willing to let these Rakshasa-like people take away the port market for mutual trade between them and the Ming Dynasty.

The three groups of people worked together and temporarily blocked the Rakshasa fleet that wanted to rely on a surprise attack to capture Tamkang Port in one go.
