Chapter 2102 Entering the Strait
The Plantagenets were frantically putting out the fire, and the humiliation of surrender made them just want to jump into the sea.
The human heart is like this. When they first decided to surrender, most people were just a little bit reluctant, and then they were relieved.
After all, no one would take their own life as a joke!
After the fire was extinguished, smelling the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, they were confused, and then regretted...
"Pretending one by one!"
As the two sides approached, Hong Bao saw the resentment of the Plantagenet man, so he sneered and said, "This kind of people don't care about eating or beating. If you want to beat them, you must beat them thoroughly. One kick, so far they are afraid."
"It couldn't be more true."
The interpreter said enthusiastically: "My lord, this is the Plantagenet man. You will feel Frank's helplessness when facing this country."
The warship approached slowly, and the commander came over and offered his long sword with both hands.
The warships of the Ming army were much taller than them, and in order to prevent sudden attacks, the distance between the two sides was not small.
"Lean over!"
The warships gradually approached, and the Ming army let down the rope, and then went down in batches, controlling Plantagenet's warship.
A hundred household official took the long sword casually, then threw it up, and was given to Hong Bao.
"What's the meaning?"
Hong Bao took out his long sword and looked at it, and said with disgust: "This kind of sword and gun is not even used by soldiers in Ming Dynasty. Is this the gorse flower that you fear like a tiger?"
The interpreter said awkwardly: "Yes, my lord, this is the gorse."
Zhang Wang analyzed: "Grandpa, we are about to enter the strait below, and Plantagenet took a boat, so it must be to report the news. The lower officials thought it was a temporary rest, so they sent a boat to watch."
The interpreter's eyes flashed with joy, Hong Bao suddenly saw it sideways, just smiled slightly, and then ordered: "Bring their generals and ask them!"
Zhang Wang took the order, and Hong Bao asked the interpreter with a half-smile, "You won't say one into two, will you?"
The interpreter forced a smile and said, "No, my lord, I promise not."
"This is the best, otherwise our family doesn't mind going back and asking your king what etiquette is!"
The commander was pulled up by the hanging basket, and when he was sent to Hong Bao, Hong Bao asked, "Why did you provoke Daming?"
After the translator translated it, the commander didn't answer the question, but asked in a daze, "Is Daming the big country in the east?"
After getting an affirmative answer, the commander shouted loudly.
"What did he say?"
Hong Bao pointed at the interpreter, Zhang Wang pulled out a long knife and put it on the interpreter's neck, grinning grinningly: "Don't make a mistake, or I will let you know why Daming is Daming!"
The interpreter wanted to ask Hong Bao for help, but got a cold look and cold words: "Nonsense, our family makes you regret living in this world."
"My lord, he...he said that this is the place for fighting. You rushed in rashly and did not send a boat to negotiate. He thought it was Frank's ally who came...so even if you know you are invincible, you still have to fight."
"A good fighter, but a strong enemy."
Hong Bao praised without knowing his position, and the interpreter's cheeks twitched, but he didn't translate it.
Hong Bao didn't mind, and asked: "Our family has brought the Daming Mission here, how about the gorse?"
There was a knife on the interpreter's neck. This treatment made him dare not talk nonsense, and at the same time, it also aroused hope in the captured commander's heart.
Frank did not form an alliance with that eastern power!
This guess made the commander ecstatic. After muttering for a while, the interpreter said with a bitter face: "My lord, he said that Plantagenet is full of respect and expectations for the great eastern country. Today is just a misunderstanding, but the misunderstanding will definitely make the two countries closer." Cherish each other's friendship, he is willing to pay any price for it..."
"Including death?"
The interpreter asked, the commander nodded vigorously, and then spoke impassionedly.
The interpreter's complexion became more and more ugly, Zhang Wang sneered, and after the commander finished speaking, he warned: "You can try to tell lies."
"My lord..." The interpreter looked like a dead father,
Said: "He said that he is willing to be hostages with those captured. If they enter the strait, they can negotiate. If there is a mistake, they are willing to be burned to death."
"Burn to death?"
Hong Bao immediately nodded, and then said coldly: "Da Ming has never been afraid of these things, so Zhang Wang."
"Eunuch!"
"Put a boat in the back, if it's not right, go back, and then..."
Zhang Wang understood, and said loudly: "Eunuch, don't worry, if there is an accident, Daming will not die!"
Now is not the year of Hong Wu, when the Ming dynasty was so powerful and mighty as the scorching sun. If the fleet was really overcast and the entire army would be wiped out here, as long as there was news in the Ming Dynasty, what kind of gorse would almost certainly be ruined.
You Fang is awake, Hong Bao firmly believes in this!
Hong Bao nodded, and Zhang Wang went to arrange for the lagging warships.
"It's just a small fleet. Thousands of miles away, we broke away from the huge fleet and came to Taixi."
The fleet began to enter the channel!
Hong Bao adjusted his clothes and stood on the deck with his head held high.
At this moment, he represented Daming, and he refused to bow his head even in front of the gods.
Just behind the fleet, a warship was slowly following.
It was a warship with the least damage, and it was equipped with the best boatmen and soldiers.
Plantagenet's four ships were dragged behind and moved slowly.
The Frankish fleet that was towing them really wanted to burn down the enemy's ships, but they didn't dare to offend Mingren.
The grain ship is in the front—this is what they requested on their own initiative.
If encountering the enemy, the grain ship will throw away all the goods and gold and silver, and then intercept the enemy at high speed, allowing the warship to take the opportunity to evacuate.
After the Plantagenets showed their courage, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty certainly would not show weakness.
The fleet was divided into three batches and slowly entered the strait...
neither cold nor hot!
This is great and makes the fleet comfortable on and off.
But when the sky was cloudy and rainy, and the fog gradually filled his vision, Hong Bao also became a little nervous.
The eyes are blurred, this is the moment of Zhang Wang.
"Go out and check, if something is wrong, fire the cannon immediately!"
A warship overtook the grain ship and disappeared into the mist.
"My lord, it often rains here, and the fog is heavy..."
Hong Bao said coldly: "Shut up!"
The mist is still pervasive, and the devil seems to be hiding in it, waving a long knife, preparing to harvest souls from foreign lands.
The lookout post widened its eyes, trying to find the enemy's sails in the mist...
Below the deck, the artillery has been fully loaded. Once an enemy ship is found, they will decide to disperse or concentrate the attack according to the situation.
The fleet broke through the fog and moved forward gradually.
The interpreter's face was pale, and he was also worried that a huge fleet would suddenly appear in the fog.
In front of that fleet, these ships of the Ming army have to escape, otherwise they will be submerged...
