Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 412 Dagukou Landing Battle (There will be another chapter tonight)
On the vast expanse of the ocean, the water is slightly yellowed, making it not very clear.

A gust of breeze blows, while the sails are blown, leaving ripples on the sea surface and setting off tiny waves.

From time to time, seabirds pass by in the sky and plunge into the sea to fish.

There are even seabirds staying on the deck and resting on the mast.

Sailing on the sea is boring, and the soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty were extremely bored, so some people started to take out their small slingshots and shoot some seabirds to improve their food.

The only people who are bothered by these seabirds are probably the lookouts standing on the top of the mast.

The seabirds that stayed by his side or waved in front of his eyes from time to time were really annoying to the lookout and seriously disturbed his concentration.

Standing on his flagship, Zhu Tiangui looked at the vast sea in the distance. This ship was the first-class sailing battleship Desheng produced by Anping Armory, and it was the sister ship of Zhu Kezang Eternal Victory. It was very huge.

He asked the adjutant beside him, "How far are we from Tianjin?"

The cloak behind him fluttered, and his face was full of solemnity.

That's right, the surprise attack on Tianjin was Zhu Kezang's strategy.

As long as Tianjin is captured and Shuntian Mansion is restored, there is no need to fight a war of attrition with countless township valor groups in North China.

Moreover, it is extremely easy to land in Tianjin. First of all, there is an internal response to the fake Dutch fleet, which is unimpeded all the way. Secondly, the Tianjin Eight Banners navy is weak and easy to deal with!
For this surprise attack on Tianjin, Zhu Kezang personally ordered him to go north and take charge of the command of the operation.

The lieutenant groaned for a while, and said, "According to the itinerary, our fleet will be able to see the coast of Tianjin at about noon tomorrow!"

"The emperor issued five orders three times. Although the Tianjin navy of the Qing Dynasty is weak, they still have the power to patrol the coastal defenses."

"Let the soldiers cheer up. Now that they have entered the Bohai Bay, all warships must be ready to fight at any time to avoid casualties."

Good guy, in Zhu Tiangui's opinion, as long as the Ming Navy is serious, they can land in Tianjin without injury.

However, Zhu Tiangui's attitude is very good. He despises the enemy strategically and attaches great importance to the enemy tactically.

The deputy general agreed, and then ordered the entire army to enter a first-level combat readiness state.

"Master Lieutenant General, the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here. It seems that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be passed by us again in the battle!" The deputy general said with regret.

"Rejoicing with the sound of guns and offering wine to the moon with the heads of Tartars, is there anything better to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival than this?"

The lieutenant general nodded, and the war weariness that had just emerged disappeared in an instant. He just nodded and said: "The ambition is to eat the meat of the barbarians hungry, and to laugh and talk about drinking the blood of the Huns is really a great joy in life!"

In order to ensure a smooth battle, Zhu Tiangui held discussions with the first town of the landing operation.

"How is the defense of the Tartars?" Pan Aqiang asked.

As soon as Zhu Tiangui waved his hand, the lieutenant next to him immediately put up the defense map of Dagukou. The most striking thing in this map is the several forts at Dagukou and the forts at Beitang.

It's not that Kangxi didn't know that Daming was likely to land at Dagukou, bypassing Jiangbei's heavy troops and going straight to Shuntianfu from Tianjin, so he spent a lot of money to build these forts in the past three years.

There were even [-]-jin cannons built and placed at Dagukou, and [-] Eight Banners old-style troops were stationed at Dagukou to Beitang, and there were another [-] in Tianjin, most of which had acceptable combat effectiveness.

Especially the crucial South Fort of Dagukou.

The [-]-jin cannons are placed there. These [-]-jin cannons are all fixed angles, facing the waterway entering the Haihe River. Although the tubes are short, the caliber is huge. The shells weigh [-] catties and have a range of more than one mile...

It's not the same as Army artillery.

"Our biggest obstacle is this fort." Zhu Tiangui pointed to the south fort.

"The guard of honor for us to conquer it is the Shenwu six-year-style artillery. Using its ultra-long range and accuracy, we smashed the fort." Zhu Tiangui continued.

Shenwu Six Years Artillery, referred to as Shenwu Sixth Artillery, is a front-loading rifled artillery developed by the General Administration of Manufacturing.

Moreover, the forts of the Qing Dynasty are still old-fashioned, not bastions. Such rammed earth platforms are not very afraid of direct solid bullets, but they are afraid of explosive bullets falling from the sky!

"Lieutenant General Zhu, there is no need to worry too much about the fort. Once Daming takes Tianjin, the Fujian Sea Fleet will be needed to help transport the cannon fodder troops!"

In order to reduce the casualties in the landing battle, the first town of Jinwei brought more than 5000 cannon fodder from the Congregation Army of Japan, but this is far from enough. As long as a safe stronghold is established in Tianjin, the cannon fodder troops from Japan and Korea can be transported continuously. .

……

One day later, the sixth year of Daming Shenwu, the third day of August!
The main force of the Minhai Fleet of the Ming Dynasty reached the Dagukou Fort. After receiving the alarm, the Tianjin Navy of the Qing court went to sea to fight, and lost!
Afterwards, in Tianjin City, the sound of gongs and alarms sounded, and groups of Qing soldiers with nervous and fearful faces climbed up the city wall under the command of the officers.

On the city wall, Yu Chenglong, the governor of Zhili, commanded Ruoding, and Wu Qijue, the general of Tianjin Town, strode up to the city wall, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Ming Yao is attacking the Dagukou fort. Their firepower is extremely strong. Should we send troops to support it? "

Looking at the gunpowder smoke and flames in the distance, Yu Chenglong shook his head and said: "Send someone to the capital to inform the emperor that the Ming Yao is coming, immediately strengthen the defense of the capital, and General Wu will immediately send troops to support Dagukou!"

"Yes, my subordinates will do it right away!"

Soon, the Tianjin Eight Banners Navy was wiped out in front of the Dagukou Fort, powerless to resist.

As for the Dagukou Fort, the fierce battle is still going on. Half of the Qing troops guarding the fort are the Eight Banners soldiers of the Beijing camp. Most of them are on the battlefield for the first time. With a brave nature, he fired shells one after another under the command of the officer.

However, soon the big forts in Dagu were blown up, leaving only the three small forts of Wei, Zhen, and Hai to resist. These three small forts were all the elite of Tianjin Town.

They know that if the Dagu port is over, Tianjin will be in danger, and even the capital will be endangered, where they have their families, so they must not take a step back.

However, in the face of absolute strength, they were quickly reduced to ashes.

After destroying some of the forts, the Minhai Fleet began to dispatch marine troops to conduct a tentative landing attack.

Under the cover of naval gun fire, the Dongying Congregation Army began to land, some landed at Dagukou, and some landed at Beitang, which was heavily guarded.

Hundreds of small boats came on the tide loaded with Japanese cannon fodder, and many of the Japanese Confederacy troops who had washed up on the beach were rushing forward against the artillery fire and bullets of the Qing army.

However, the loss was not small. After all, they were almost targets at sea, and there were dead bodies pushed to the shore by the tide.

But none of the Japanese cannon fodder troops retreated, and they all charged forward like crazy.

This formation stunned the commanders of the Qing army.

　The holiday is coming to an end. On the last day, we will continue to add updates at night. I wish you a happy Chinese New Year!
