Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 126 Micro Manipulation Master Zheng Kezang (please subscribe!)

The huge Guangdong Fleet passed through the Qiongzhou Strait and aimed directly at Haikou Pu.

The main force of Qiongzhou Navy is anchored in Haikoupu.

Qiongzhou Fucheng and Qiongluying are both near Haikoupu.

As long as the Yuehai Fleet occupies Haikoupu, Qiongzhou Prefecture will have no danger to defend.

Eight thousand soldiers from the first town of the Guards will take a transport ship and land in Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Zheng Kezang's flagship Dongning plywood, with full sails, is heading towards Lingao County with the help of the wind.

Zheng Kezang stood on the deck, and he patted a particularly smooth long-barreled cannon on the deck.

"This is the 12-pound Polu Type 1 long-barreled gun manufactured by Dongning Manufacturing Bureau specially for our expedition." Zheng Kezang said to Liu Guoxuan and others.

The workmanship is really excellent. Compared with the old-fashioned clay mold cast cannons, the shape alone is a few blocks away.

"The craftsmanship of the Dongning General Manufacturing Bureau is getting better and better. No wonder the king was so biased towards craftsmen before, and he set up a craftsman system for them." Liu Guoxuan now understands more and more what Zheng Kezang did before.

Fortunately, I didn't do anything with Feng Xifan at the beginning, otherwise it would be broken.

"They still have a long way to go, and the Polu 1 type will get there!" Zheng Kezang actually has high requirements, and in the future they will be required to develop mortars and rifled guns, especially rifled guns.

Now Mingzheng uses smoothbore guns. Generally, the caliber of this kind of guns is not very large, except for short heavy guns that are a little special.

The advantage is that the cost of shells is now low.

The Qiongzhou Strait is very narrow, and the entire Guangdong Fleet was dispatched to the outside of Haikoupu.

Use the diorama to observe the situation of Haikou Pu.

More than a dozen large and medium-sized warships of the Qiongzhou Navy of the Tatar Qing Dynasty were moored in Haikou Pu, most of the forces.

On the shore of Haikou Port, there are five huge Hongyi cannons.

The forts on the shore can shoot very accurately. With the same range, it will be very disadvantageous for the battleship to shoot at the forts on the shore.

Of course, the premise is that the number of artillery pieces is about the same.

"All warships, aim at the warships of the Qing army, clear the forts of Haikou Port, and shoot!"

Liu Guoxuan issued an order, and the messenger came to the main mast of the Dongning.

He hoisted several flags.

In this era, the navy gave orders through the semaphore on the mast of the flagship, so the flagship could not fall.

Today, Zheng Kezang stood next to the Polu cannon with great interest. He wanted to see how the cannon would work in actual combat.

The main gunner who operated the Polu Cannon this time was very experienced. In order to make him shoot more accurately, Zheng Kezang also lent him the Western telescope.

The main gunner of the navy kept observing the position of the fort through the diorama, and based on his knowledge in the Dongning Military Academy, he kept telling the other gunners the parameters that needed to be adjusted.

The gunners are also constantly adjusting the muzzle according to the orders of the main gunner.

After the artillery was fully adjusted, the main gunner reported to Zheng Kezanghui: "The Polu gun has been aimed at the enemy fort, please instruct!"

"fire."

Hearing this, the gunner immediately loaded the shells, and the main gunner fired behind the buttocks of the Polu cannon.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the huge energy of the sugar gunpowder, the shells fired by the Polu Cannon quickly flew towards the Haikoupu Fort.

It's a pity that the shell exploded not far from the fort and missed the fort.

"Very well done, brothers, continue to adjust the angle of the artillery, we will definitely be able to destroy the fort." Worried that the gunners were nervous, Zheng Kezang encouraged.

But the distance to the target and the distance is very close, which means that these gunners are doing very well!
"Brothers, the muzzle is shifted half an inch to the left." Zheng Kezang couldn't help directing, feeling ants crawling on his body without micromanipulation.

The ending is obvious, and it's farther away!
If the two rounds are not enough, just a few more rounds will always give the small fort on the opposite side to the ground.

On the Dongning, the 12-pound Polu gun continued to roar, and the Haikoupu battery finally realized that the situation was wrong and began to fight back.

But the projectiles fired by their Hongyi cannons were obviously not accurate, and the number was still small, so they fell directly into the sea, splashing water one after another.

Other warships were also firing, and soon, a shell from a 12-pounder Polu gun hit the fort.

There was a huge explosion, and two Hongyi cannons were blown into the sky with one shot.

Under the suppression of the firepower of the Guangdong Fleet, the Qiongzhou Navy had nothing to do.

Suppressed by the firepower of hundreds of warships in the Guangdong Fleet, the Qing soldiers also realized that the enemy in front of them was beyond their ability to deal with. Soon, they abandoned the moored warships and forts, and walked away before the enemy landed. .

Soon, the Guangdong Fleet discovered that the Haikoupu fort had lost its sound.

This battle comes and goes quickly!
After three quarters of an hour, the main mast of the Dongning displayed the semaphore of the end of the war and a complete victory.

It's not that the Qing soldiers have no backbone, there are more than a dozen Qing soldiers here to drive the boats, and they take the lead to fight against the well-prepared Cantonese Fleet on the opposite side!
This is a wise choice, Haikou Pu has been surrounded, boarding a dead end.

This is the fate of giving up coastal defense. There is no combat power at all. Now the era of Taqing, where a few ships can conquer its coast has come!
Although this battle didn't have much gold content, Liu Guoxuan was still ecstatic. This was a hearty naval battle.

"Notify the transport ship where the Guards are located, and land ashore!" Liu Guoxuan ordered cheerfully.

Under the protection of the Guangdong Fleet, the transport fleet entered Haikoupu.

Soon, Pan Aqiang jumped off the transport ship with his soldiers.

Only when they stepped on the ground did they have a sense of solidity.

After Pan Aqiang assembled his troops, he led [-] soldiers to attack Qiongzhou Fucheng.

Qiongzhou Mansion has no danger to defend, only a lonely city wall.

Soon, the city wall of Qiongzhou Prefecture was attacked by a large number of guard artillery. Stone chips flew across the wall, and many shells entered the city, and smoke and dust billowed immediately.

The entire city wall was crumbling. How could the Qing army in Qiongzhou Prefecture have seen such a battle?
They are here to dawdle in Qiongzhou Mansion, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, even if there are often pirates visiting, everyone is just putting on a show, fighting tacitly, never experienced such a battle.

"Help……"

"My feet..."

A large number of wounded soldiers on the city wall kept wailing, and after several rounds of artillery fire, almost all of them were stumps and broken feet, and the ground was covered with pools of blood.

Seeing this situation, many Qing soldiers couldn't help shaking their hands and feet, and many even peed their pants. How cruel this war is.

At this time, Daotai Huang Guocai and the magistrate Niu Tiansu had already fled. After cleaning up the things on the mansion, they abandoned the city and fled.

They are the fringe figures among the officials of the Qing Dynasty. They have all come to Qiongzhou, so what room for improvement?
It's still my own life that matters, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood.

"My lords, why did you abandon the city?" Some young officials also asked questions.

Everyone is running around, why are you pretending to be arrogant!Don't go together, Niu Tiansu thought in his heart.

Daotai Huang Guocai has a larger structure, and he said helplessly: "The pirates of the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty have sharp artillery, and Qiongzhou is dead. It is not a good strategy for us to rush against the enemy. Wait until we retreat to other counties, gather the troops on the island, and then raise troops to counterattack. A ray of life."

All of a sudden, the sound of the roar of the cannon came closer, and several people immediately got into the carriage and left the unsurrounded South City Gate in a swift motion, disappearing after a cup of tea!
