Chapter 60 Guanghai

Zeng Yiben, who was missing, cast a haze on Xiangshan, and Chen Mu, who was afraid of being afraid of being a mouse, had two difficult roads in front of him.

The army rescues Guanghaiwei, or some forces support Guanghai.

"Guanghai must be rescued, and the governor ordered the convening of troops from all over the country to Guanghai. I will bring the five hundred flag troops and stay Sun Qianhu."

Sun Ao left behind the reorganization and killed the flag army. After the reorganization was properly reorganized, Xiangshan and Haojing could still leave the eight hundred flag army. "Even if Zeng Yiben came, he could withstand it for a few days."

Guanghai is very close to Xiangshan. Even if they are on the coast, the enemy's beacon will be able to come back in a few days as soon as the enemy's beacon is ignited.

After being tossed by Xu Jinmei, Chen Mu's fleet of warfares with another battle was reduced by hundreds. Two centipede ships and one blessed ship, carrying the five hundred flag troops from the near sea to Guanghaiwei.

This time, Chen Mu had experience in naval battles and prepared enough gunpowder in the bottom cabin of the Fu Ship. Each Fran machine was equipped with six sub-guns. When starting the war, it could ensure hundreds of continuous artillery fire coverage, and it was very effective in attacking the enemy ships.

Franco machine cannons are called cyclone cannons or murder cannons in Europe. They are specially designed to bombard sailors on ships at long distances and attack sails. Because the rear-mounted air tightness is slightly worse than the same pound size and caliber, it poses far less threat to the hull than the front-mounted cannons.

With a wide variety of warships and a large number of artillery, Chen Mu also had some of his own understanding of naval warfare in this era.

Compared with Western warships, the Ming Dynasty's blessing ships focused more on business operations. For example, the two blessing ships seized by pirates belonged to the commercial form of the Ming people's blessing ships, with a huge cargo capacity and a high manned capacity. The disadvantage is that they do not focus on artillery battles.

The allocation of two military blessing ships by Yu Dayou further increased the number of troops, and increased the bow and stern of the ship with similar ideas in ancient building ships. When ships collided, they had the advantage of being condescending. Bird guns, muskets, crossbows and even fire bricks were thrown out accurately.

They all use close-range threats and jump gang combat as their guiding ideology.

Chen Mu only had two centipede ships in his hand, which were excellent in manned and slightly less cargo, but they were extremely flexible in combat, and had many armed Franc cannons. However, this Arab warship had not yet shown a direction that was inclined toward heavy artillery, and the obvious ship had been widened in its shape, but it was not obvious.

In just a hundred years, Western adventurers sailing around the world have quickly promoted the progress of Western warships, landing other civilized sea ships behind them at a speed of running, and developing terrifying sea monsters with cannon giant ships.

If you want the Ming ship to occupy a place on the sea, you must improve it.

Chen Mu was lucky. There were no storms on the sea during his voyage. Including the time he was delayed in Haojing, he also arrived in Guanghaiwei waters within four days, bypassing Dajin Island, and passing through the strait between Shangchuan Island and Xinning. Guanghai Acropolis was far away.

Guanghaiwei built the acropolis as early as the 27th year of Hongwu, which was seventeen years earlier than the Tianjin wei. The acropolis wall was built on the mountain and was 530 meters long, the city was three to nine feet high, and there were five feet deep and two feet wide moats outside the city, which was the mighty city of the South China Sea.

But time has passed for nearly two hundred years, and the slack and abandoned Guanghai Guards have long been the grand occasion.

"The reinforcements from all over our country are stationed outside the city...Cake! Bombing!"

Bang!

The ship was still hundreds of steps away from the shore. The enemy platform, which was a piece of the city wall, exploded three lights. The cannons rushed towards the ship, and half a man-high waves were picked up around. A stone bullet hit the bow of the ship and embedded in the cracked wooden woman wall.

"The bitch raised a bitch and the three cannons sounded like a slight sound. Guanghaiwei was already trapped!" Chen Mu originally thought that Guanghaiwei could withstand some days, but the forts in the corner of the city were taken away by the enemy. Obviously, the Acropolis was lost. "Tell me the order forward and obey the orders, and let me go!"

Chen Mu was angry with the flying shell. The shell hitting the female wall was only a few steps away from him. A little bit off would make him so heartless. If anyone on the centipede ship was most likely to use the ship's first launch cannon to bombard the Acropolis tower with hundreds of steps, then it was only Chen Mu.

In the past six months, Chen Mu fired more guns than anyone else. All the data were precocious and he pushed the artillery away angrily and squatted behind the gun to issue orders, "Press down two holes, give me the torch, go forward, do it!"

The cannon made by Chen Mu was built with a hole with an even angle through arc-shaped thick wood at the tail of the cannon, and supported by iron rods. The muzzle was raised and the muzzle was lowered and the muzzle was lowered.

The higher the lower the pitch, the further the landing point of the shell parabola until forty-five degrees, and the higher the angle upward, the higher the close range bombardment.

Following Chen Mu ignited the fire on the side of the cannon. As soon as he covered his ears and turned around, a loud noise came from behind him. The cannon equipped with a wheel frame retreated violently and installed on the wooden frame three feet behind. The muzzle emitted a flame and filled the air with smoke. The shells bombarded directly towards the southern end of Guanghaiwei.

"I've won! Lord Qianhu beat him well!"

The artillery on the bow of the ship was thrilling, and Chen Mu, who was slapped on his left ear, looked at the city tower, and the bricks and tiles of the eaves of the city tower were falling down from the city, "Turn the rudder! Rowing the left paddle! Right string, ready to ignite!"

Chen Mu, who was slightly buzzing with his left ear, shouted the order, the bow, deck, and tail rudder, and the flags held many people waved the orders. The small flags everywhere shouted at the top of their lungs. The left-string flag army struggled to drive the oars, and in a very short time the hull was horizontal. The artillery adjusted the seventeen Franchise machine on the right to a suitable angle, aiming them at the Guanghaiwei Tower.

The Fran machine cannon actually does not belong to the side cannon, but a circumferential cannon fixed on the side of the ship. This kind of firepower that will be used as a supplementary firepower to make up for the insufficient angle of the side cannon in the future is now the main firepower of Chen Mu's fleet.

"Light up, let it go!"

More than a dozen string cannons sprayed out flames and smoke, and the shells scattered out of them bombarded the city walls and towers, and flew into the city towers. It was obvious that Japanese pirates ran away in the city towers.

Several Japanese pirates on the city tower were very smart, because the next moment, the centipede ship where Deng Zilong was also located also bombarded string cannons along the flagship route. The continuous artillery fire hit the city tower many times and even broke a wooden pillar on the enemy platform, causing the eaves on the south side of the city tower to collapse suddenly and smoke and dust storm.

Afterwards, the swaying blessed ship followed the two centipede ships slowly. Wei Balang waved the order flag very seriously: "Boom!"

Bang, bang.

The two Franchise machines placed on the deck of No. 1 sprayed flames and hit the wall of Guanghaiwei. The eighth master did not give any more orders, turned his head and stared at the side of the centipede ship not far away and showed more than a dozen gun barrels, leaving for a long time.

The mentality is probably the same as Chen Mu occasionally stands on the reef and looks into the distance to the west of the sea level.

Chen Mu was still dissatisfied with the city tower, and led his fleet to bombard the Japanese pirates guarding the city wall. Seeing that the results were minimal, he stopped on the coast far from the Acropolis. As soon as he got off the ship, the Qingcheng flag army came to lead the way.

When he entered the siege position, he asked at the first glance when he saw Bai Yuanjie: "How did these Japanese men conquer the Acropolis? Did they abandon the city and run away?"

The generals who were originally inspired to see reinforcements bombarding the city tower and artillery fire were excited when they saw Chen Mu leading his troops. When they heard his words, they were silent and their expressions became complicated.

"No, they are brave."

Bai Yuanjie shook his head solemnly, and in an extremely depressing atmosphere, he said: "The commander Wang Zhen, govern Zhou Bingtang, and He Lan, and the defenders of the city all fought to the death. The troops were insufficient. There were more than 2,000 troops in the city, and only 400 flag troops were more than 1,000 people. There were no traces of anyone escaping outside the city."

-

In history, the battle of Guanghaiwei took place in the first month of the winter solstice of the third year of Longqing. Wang Zhen, Zhou Bingtang, and He Lan were all the same.
