From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 906

The weather was gloomy and the artillery fire was deafening.

Nie Zairong clenched his fists, his face full of worry.

"The Confidence and Self-reliance ships were the most seriously damaged. The hulls at the water level were smashed by cannons. The carpenters are doing their best to repair them."

"Other battleships and cruisers were all damaged. The situation is getting worse. If we continue to fight, we are at risk of being wiped out."

At this point, he looked at Guan Lu and gritted his teeth and said, "We can't fight like this anymore. The other side is obviously not fooled and is not chasing us at all!"

Guan Lu looked at the other side and said slowly, "It should be that the marshal's attack on Chikan City was hindered, and the other side, based on the principle of caution, has always refused to leave the coastline."

"They are afraid that we will divert the tiger away from the mountain, so while they all come out to chase, they quietly land and transport the Portuguese cannons to the Chikan battlefield to smash the city walls."

"The Dutch handled this battle very well and did not leave us any loopholes."

"Now, we can only rely on the marshal to take over Chikan City. Only then will we have a chance."

Ye Qingying nodded and said, "No Wrong, only when the victory on the island is completely established and the Dutch fleet no longer has the need to defend the island, will they be reckless, angry, and chase us. "

"The key to everything is to break through Chikan City."

Nie Zairong couldn't help but say: "Chikan City has guns and cannons, and has complete fortifications. The marshal lacks war resources. Even if there are more people, how can they break through!"

"Even if you go up to the tower, you will be shot down by dense bullets."

Guan Lu said: "This war is hard, and any difficulties should be expected. General Nie, don't be impatient. We still do our own things and persist."

"I believe the marshal will take Chikan City as soon as possible."

Nie Zairong said: "But Chikan City..."

"Believe in the marshal!"

Guan Lu interrupted him directly and said in a deep voice: "General Nie, this is the only thing we can do!"

...

It was still a dark sky, but this was just a small boat.

With a small sail, eight sailors paddled the boat slowly forward, following the northeast monsoon, and finally arrived at Beigang Creek of Dongfan Island.

After the boat stopped, Zhuang Xuansu picked up Xiaoying and put her on the shore in a few steps.

Xiaoying smiled and straightened her clothes, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Sizhu, I am not so delicate, so you don't need to take care of me like this."

Zhuang Xuansu said: "Of course you have to be careful, you are more than four months old now, and your belly is bulging."

Xiaoying touched her belly and giggled: "It's only bulging a little bit, just like Xiaoying is full."

"Besides, didn't you say that it would be stable after three months?"

Zhuang Xuansu glared at her and said: "I am Sizhu! Of course I have the final say!"

"Even if it is stable It's settled, but you have to be more careful. You are small and must be weak. "

Xiaoying whispered: "I am just short... not weak..."

Zhuang Xuansu said: "Don't talk about this, let's go quickly. Ye Qingying's intelligence shows that the siege has entered a critical stage. Without your help, Zhou Yuan may be in trouble."

Hearing this, Xiaoying became energetic and couldn't help but said excitedly: "Then go quickly! Xiaoying can finally help! Hehehe!"

In her heart, she always felt that she was the worst.

A poor orphan, small in stature, and without any skills, is absolutely unworthy of Brother Zhou Yuan.

But unexpectedly, she could help in this siege, and it was her best skill.

They went all the way from the beach of Beigang River to Chikan City in the southwest. The speed was not fast, but it was expected to arrive before dark.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan was applauding.

"Good, good, good!"

He shouted excitedly: "Sister Virgin Mary is really a goddess descending to earth, and every move she makes is full of fairy spirit."

In front, Li Yu'an's figure was graceful, holding a wooden stick as thick as a little finger, performing exquisite swordsmanship.

When she woke up from a sleep, her injuries had healed, and the speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.

Zhou Yuan said: "It's really good to have high martial arts skills. The gunshot wound recovered directly. If you break through again, wouldn't you become a fairy?"

Li Yu'an rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said: "Who said I stink last night!"

Zhou Yuan laughed and said: "I stink now too, after all, I didn't take a shower."

Li Yu'an raised her eyebrows and snorted: "Be careful or I will beat you!"

But she was also very happy. Last night's life-and-death test made her realize the truth, completely broke the shackles of her heart, broke through the original rut, and reached a new realm.

She felt full of strength, as if she was ten years younger. Although she didn't take a shower, her skin was much smoother.

The state of the body also makesShe was in a very good mood and couldn't help but want to test her inner strength.

"Junior apprentice, my inner strength has reached a state where I can do whatever I want. I can easily condense an invisible air wall, which should be able to block the bullets of the flintlock."

"Why don't you try to shoot?"

Zhou Yuan's face changed and he shouted, "No way! Don't do it!"

"Stupid!"

Li Yu'an said unhappily, "I can just put a wooden shield in front of me."

She quickly picked up a wooden shield, held it in front of her with her right hand, and then waved her left sleeve, and the powerful inner strength swept out immediately, forming an invisible air wall.

"Come on! Shoot!"

She was full of confidence.

Zhou Yuan was relieved, aimed at the wooden shield, and pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the bullet was suspended in the air and was firmly blocked by the terrible invisible air wall.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but jump up excitedly and shouted: "Great! Great! Virgin sister, you are finally not afraid of bullets!"

"No one needs to worry about you being in danger in the future!"

Li Yu'an was very proud and raised her chin: "See! This is the advantage of high martial arts skills. You, learn more."

She walked slowly to Zhou Yuan's side and whispered: "Let's try it again tonight. I feel I am not afraid anymore."

Zhou Yuan was startled and hurriedly said: "Don't even think about it. Being able to block one bullet does not mean being able to block hundreds of bullets. I will never take risks with you again."

Seeing that Li Yu'an was about to speak, Zhou Yuan interrupted in advance: "I said last night that I have a better way."

Li Yu'an narrowed her eyes and said: "What way?"

Zhou Yuan smiled He said, "There is something that is large in number, highly lethal, and hard to defend against."

He patted Li Yu'an's chest and said, "Poisonous insects."

Li Yu'an covered her chest and said, "Are you sure you are not taking advantage of me on purpose?"

Zhou Yuan said, "You are stingy, Virgin Sister."

Li Yu'an puffed out her chest and snorted, "The only two monsters who are more generous than me are Bai Xue and Bai Bing."

"But poisonous insects are indeed a good solution. When the Jin Dynasty dealt with the Tusi rebellion, it was deeply troubled by poisonous insects. Even heavy armor could not stop those little bugs, and the key was that they were difficult to deal with."

"In the end, they had no choice but to find more than a dozen masters of the Tantric Sect to go to Southwest Guizhou in person to deal with those poisonous masters."

Zhou Yuan's smile froze instantly.

He looked at Li Yu'an and said in a deep voice, "Those poisonous masters are likely to be Xiaoying's relatives."
