Chapter 1778： iron lock Hengjiang

Chapter 1778 Iron Lock Yokoe

The sky has not yet dawned, and it is still pitch black. Scarlet light spots appear one after another on the winding river in the distance, like poisonous cobras one after another. This is the wind lantern on the mast of the Japanese ship.

"The pirates are coming!"

Zhu Ping'an stood on the maple bridge and saw the scarlet light spots one after another in the distant river, and knew that the Japanese pirates had come by boat.

In order to prevent Japanese pirate ships from passing through the canal directly to the city of Suzhou, Zhu Pingan ordered six chains to be pulled on the river three miles in front of Fengqiao.

These chains were placed decades ago when the Suzhou government built the canal. The locks are reserved and are not used at ordinary times. Once the city of Suzhou is in danger, they can be tied across the river to prevent ships from passing through the canal.

The iron chains in Hengjiang are all as thick as an arm, and they are not so easy to break. Even if the pirates want to follow Wang Jun's example and burn the chains with fire, it will not be easy, because the wise working people have learned Wang Jun's experience in burning the iron chains with fire. The two iron cables were placed under the water surface, but he couldn't burn them even if he wanted to. There is no fire that can burn underwater these days.

In addition, even after they have worked so hard to finally break the six iron cables, there are a total of thirteen such installations along the river in the back. .

On the river in the distance, Japanese ships came one after another. On the largest flagship, Xu Hai looked at the Suzhou City in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling a surge of ambition to conquer this huge city. He is not the Xu Hai of today, he has the capital and prestige, and he is on par with King Hui Wang.

What Wang Zhi can do, so can I, Xu Hai! What Wang Zhi can't do, I, Xu Hai, can do!

My Xu Hai's life, starting today, will go up to a new level again! The magnificent history, how can I miss my Xu Hai's colorful strokes!

Thinking of this, the smug Xu Hai couldn't help laughing, and shouted to the Japanese pirates under his command: "Hahahaha, my sons, what if we are discovered by Ming people, my army has more than 30,000 people, tomorrow The army is no more than ten thousand people. Now that they have discovered us, we simply do not hide, and go straight to Huanglong and attack by force."

"Women who spread their legs apart are certainly refreshing, but women who resist desperately are more delicious, aren't they?! The more she resists, the more she struggles, overwhelms her, lays on her stomach, and the moment when she trembles at the end, is more delicious." Only when there is a sense of conquest, can there be a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment. Now Suzhou City is just such a struggling little lady, just waiting for us to pounce on her, overwhelm her, lie down, and tremble for a while!"

Xu Hai stretched out his finger and pointed to the Suzhou City, which was far in front of him, and tried his best to instigate a group of Japanese pirates under his command.

"Yuxi, what Chief Xu said was that it was discovered, what's the matter, let's attack by force. The Ming people we saw along the way are all like idiots, and they can only run around like rats. They are all eggless eunuchs. What is Fengqiao Camp?" , What Suzhou City, let’s pounce on it, and we can take it with a single shudder, hahahaha”

Hojo Michisan held the Japanese sword in one hand, and put his other hand on his waist, and laughed arrogantly.

Ma Ye, Chen Dong and other Ming Japanese pirates glared at him. According to you, we are also rats? ! Are we also eunuchs without eggs? !

"Ahem, the rats I mentioned just now don't include you, you are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty." Hojo Michizo also realized that something was wrong at this time, the slobbering map gun just now accidentally injured the friendly army, and quickly remedied it.

"Okay, okay, don't tease Hojo-kun, you all know that Hojo-kun is talking about the common people and soldiers."

Xu Hai smiled and waved his hand.

"Hehe, well, I won't tease you anymore. We still need to save our energy, first to rough up the Fengqiao camp, and then to rough up Suzhou city."

Ma Ye, Chen Dong and the others squeezed a smile, and each of them slapped Hojo Michizo on the shoulder without mentioning it.

"First rough up the Fengqiao camp, then rough up Suzhou City!"

"First rough up the Fengqiao camp, then rough up Suzhou City!"

Under the provocation of Xu Hai, Ma Ye, and Chen Dong, a group of Japanese pirates excitedly waved the weapons in their hands and screamed, their aura was like hungry wolves rushing down the hillside, as long as they got off the boat, they could easily block them everything in front of you.

"Three miles ahead is the Fengqiao camp, so be vigilant, don't overturn the boat in the gutter, the little girl didn't get there, she fell into the ditch."

Xu Hai looked at the Japanese pirates under his command and screamed like chicken blood, and appropriately cooled them down.

"Don't worry, the leader, the gutter that can capsize us hasn't appeared yet." A group of Japanese pirates screamed.

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a sound in the front, and then the boat in the front hit the Hengjiang iron chain, and stopped suddenly. Under the huge inertia, the boat suddenly tilted, and then swayed sharply. Under the action of huge inertia, it fell into the river like a dumpling.

Plop, plop, one by one the Japanese pirates fell into the icy cold river, struggling and calling for help.

The second boat couldn't stop either, and crashed into the front boat, and many of the pirates on the boat fell into the river.

Then came the third ship and the fourth ship, which hit four ships in a row until the ships behind stopped anchoring and did not hit up again.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? What happened ahead?! How did the front ship sail?! Did you sail with your eyes closed?!" The flagship where Xu Hai and others were located was also relatively forward, and came to an emergency stop. To avoid a collision with the boat in front, Xu Hai and other Japanese chieftains couldn't help shouting angrily.

They just said not to capsize the boat in the gutter, but the boat in front of it was bumped violently, almost didn't capsize, and hit several boats in succession behind. This feels like a slap in the face, how can I not be angry.

"Boss, the Ming army pulled an arm-thick iron chain in the river and blocked the river. Because of the darkness, our lead boat didn't see it, and it hit it all of a sudden, almost overturned, and many brothers fell into the icy river. Fortunately, they were rescued without any danger, but with these iron chains, our fleet can no longer move forward."

A Japanese pirate came in a small boat from the front and reported the accident to Xu Hai and other Japanese chieftains on the flagship.

"Well, the cunning Ming army. They must have been afraid of us, afraid that we would go straight to Huanglong, so they despicably broke the chains on the river!"

Michizo Hojo scolded angrily.

"Cut it off! Or burn it off. In ancient times, didn't someone burn the iron chain with fire?!"

Chen Dong suggested.

"Turning back, the Ming army is treacherous. They also set up two iron chains more than two feet below the surface of the water, pulling them straight. We tried, but they couldn't pull them out of the water at all, and they couldn't burn them."

The Japanese pirates on the boat quickly reported back.

Chen Dong heard that there were iron cables underwater, and couldn't help cursing angrily.
