Dragon Sea Empire

The biggest problem with moving wooden wall barriers is that they are slow.All driven by human power.Limited by terrain.The officers and soldiers launched a siege on all sides.The main force is to attack the mountain road connecting the Fengguiwei Peninsula to the main island of Penghu.There are mainly Yiwu soldiers from Zhejiang, the banner army of Fuzhou Zuowei, and soldiers drawn from various water villages, totaling more than 2000 people.The rest of the west, the sea in the north and the beach in the south.Basically, they are feints of diversion nature.These places are affected by terrain.It depends on the current morale and equipment of officers and soldiers.It is impossible to launch an attack to have any effect.Zhu Wenda, Luo Yiwen and others had no confidence in this at all.They were completely counting on the East Road offense to be able to produce miracles with the wooden fence barrier.

The officers and soldiers bent over and hid behind, pushing hard against the wooden wall.Move forward little by little.Seeing that the cannon really lost its lethality after hitting the pile of firewood and mud.Can't help mustering up the courage.But no one dared to look up.Although officers and soldiers have been hit by the opponent's lead bullets and shotguns due to negligence and carelessness.Or wailing and falling to the ground struggling.Or simply die on the spot.But these three weird wooden walls are still resolutely approaching the fortress.

but.The slow movement speed of officers and soldiers gave the Chinese company garrison a chance.

护卫队在堡寨内拥有近800人的兵力。官兵主攻方向配置了300名火枪手和100名近战水手。其余三面各安排100人应付。留下100人在商馆仓库内埋伏。作为预备队。

Zhao Xuanming ordered people to lift two three-pound field guns to the watchtower by manpower.Intended to condescend to shoot the enemy soldiers behind the wooden wall; at the same time.Captain Zhao personally led people to move all the long-stem rockets out of the warehouse.

Because of that rainy night battle.Rockets that can burn in water are very useful.So when the third troop increase.The Sea Soul brought more than 100 rockets made in an emergency rush.

Zhao Xuanming didn't care about saving ammunition anymore.Let everyone put the rockets on the walls of the village, on the watchtowers, and on the enemy towers.The gunners also paused firing.Just set up the rocket on the fort. "Swish, swish, swish..." A series of sharp whistles pierced the sky above the battlefield filled with gunpowder.After a slight explosion.Flames sprang up in and around the wooden walls.

The officers and soldiers who were disapproving at first were still pushing the wall hard.But not long after, the movable wooden wall at the front was ignited by the tung oil thrown out by more than a dozen rockets exploding.It turned into a firewall in a short time.Yuan Jin's pirated anti-gun barrier may have been stuffed with too much thatch.Burns quickly.The officers and soldiers behind the wall hurriedly scattered and fled.Many people were overturned by the cannonballs fired from the condescending tower above the fortress.

Suddenly, a group of officers and soldiers rushed out from behind the second wooden wall.Groups of three or five, a team of more than ten people.Some held shields for cover, and some hid behind the shields and shot at the soldiers of the Chinese company with bird guns.At this time, the officers and soldiers had indeed approached the wall of the fortress.As a result, the bird guns that were behind them could also hit the fortress.The soldiers of the Chinese Guard who were caught off guard all straightened their waists on the fort, the wall of the village, and the watchtower.Shoot the guns and fire the rockets.Hit hard.Completely forget to hide yourself.

In the first round of bullet rain.More than forty soldiers of the garrison fell from the wall of the village and the fort.Zhao Xuanming was lighting the rocket on the watchtower of the east gate.Accidentally also hit a bird gun bullet.He staggered and almost fell into the ditch from a height of twenty feet.Thanks to Cao Tai, the supervisor behind him, who grabbed him.Drag him to the lookout floor.Force him to lie on the floor.At this time.Already several bullets hit the railing of the watchtower.

Zhao Xuanming was furious.He pushed Cao Tai away from the supervisor.He raised his body and looked down; but saw more officers and soldiers rushing out of the two sections of the wooden fence wall behind with bird guns.Keep a loose formation with more than ten people as a unit.Each shield soldier covers a bird gun soldier.Jumping and quickly approaching the wall.Although there are more than ten people in each team.But they cooperate with each other tacitly.Advance to dodge, cover and shoot.Tactical moves are well organized.Once there are casualties of soldiers.Team fighters waste absolutely no time.Still able to work closely together and move on.Immediately, soldiers rushed out from behind to help the wounded.

"It's really strange. What kind of army is this? This kind of team coordination method. Isn't it similar to the training that our guards have received." Zhao Xuanming was taken aback.Pointing to the group of officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, he said, "Jian Cao. These officers and soldiers are not Fujian soldiers."

Cao Tai is younger than Zhao Xuanming.He is what everyone calls "the orphan of Captain Yin". .Refers to the orphans rescued by Yin Feng from Luzon Island.And those orphans whose fathers were killed in Luzon who were later rescued in the country.He just graduated from military school.In fact, it is still in the internship period.He had listened to Yin Feng's lectures.Immediately made a judgment: "This must be the Yiwu bird blunderbuss. He learned the training method of Lord Qi Jiguang back then. He came from the same school as our captain. Captain Zhao. This is a strong enemy. Hurry up and form a reserve team."

Zhao Xuanming went down to the village under the rain of bullets.At this time, a small number of Zhejiang officers and soldiers had broken through to the trench.

After all, the members of the guards have undergone a year of training.The ability to coordinate operations has become a conditioned reflex.Soon the casualties were cleared from the wall.The first group of soldiers mainly shot at the wall.Garrison and sailors load ammunition.The continuous flintlock bullets quickly overwhelmed the Yiwu soldiers' blunderbuss shooting.

Yiwu soldiers not only shot faster than the flintlock guns of the Chinese Guards.Moreover, they did not use several rows of bursts to increase the density of firepower.Their loose formation of a team of more than ten people originated from Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation.Each squad is equipped with a limited number of firearms.There is no corresponding firearms tactics either.Intensive firepower cannot be formed; it is enough to deal with Japanese pirates with comparable weapons and various domestic rebel forces.But the Chinese company guard in front of us is a firearms unit ahead of the times.A difference of generations in weapons and tactics.The Yiwu soldiers were strafed by dense artillery shells and musket bullets.Masses fell down.Several squads were killed by the cannon fire.

However.Since the time of Qi Jiguang, soldiers in Yiwu have paid attention to discipline and obeyed orders without fear of death.With such huge casualties.Other government troops have long since collapsed.But most of the Yiwu soldiers continued to charge.Under their tenacious impact.The escort also suffered many casualties.From time to time, soldiers fell on the wall.The soldiers below immediately jumped on the pedals and continued firing.

The Yiwu soldiers who were the first to break through to the edge of the trench jumped down the trench without hesitation.Build a ladder.The soldiers behind jumped on their shoulders and stepped on their heads to climb up the wall.He completely ignored the musket bullets falling around him.A soldier was hit by a bullet and fell.The people behind continued to climb up by stepping on the body of their companions; the comrades who came after them kneeled and used their bird guns to cover and shoot at the Chinese army on the wall of the stronghold.Other fighters spread their shields to provide cover for their comrades who were shooting.

Zhao Xuanming saw hand-to-hand combat on the entire east wall.The loud order: "Second line, third line. Put on the bayonet. Are you ready. Go."

The soldiers who were buried in the ammunition loaded their guns.He rushed to the wall to take over the front-line comrades and fought with Yiwu soldiers.The soldiers on the front line had no time to bayonet in the tension.At this moment, quickly retreat from the wall.After installing the bayonet, they stood in several rows under the wall of the village.Nervously watching the fight on the wall.

It is clear.The hand-to-hand combat ability of Yiwu soldiers is not bad.At that time, the general troops of the Ming army were neglected in training.Soldiers are reluctant to fight in close combat.But the Yiwu soldiers obviously did not belong to the general Ming army.They can also cooperate with each other to fight.Its melee combat effectiveness is comparable to that of escort soldiers.It can already be seen at this time.These Yiwu veterans who traveled to various places and went to North Korea to fight Japanese pirates.Combat experience and proficiency in combat skills are much higher than the young fighters of the company's escort team.The battle is really too tense.Every fighter is in a state of high tension.No one has time to grab a grenade and light a grenade fuse.

Zhao Xuanming couldn't believe his eyes. After the No.1 officers and soldiers overturned two escort soldiers.Already climbed over the wall.Entered the stockade.This was in a battle that lasted for more than three months.For the first time, officers and soldiers rushed into the Chinese company's fortress.

One after another, officers and soldiers rushed into the wall of the village.But that's all.

Zhao Xuanming has already called out the reserve team in the storehouse.Cooperating with the first regiment of infantry who had just retreated, they arranged three neat rows in the open space in the stockade.Zhao Xuanming blew the Conch.Our own fighters on the east wall immediately jumped to the ground.Crouch or duck under the pedals. "Boom boom boom boom boom".Three rows of flintlock muskets fired uninterruptedly.All the Yiwu soldiers who had climbed over the wall had no time to react.Immediately, he was shot several times or even dozens of bullets and died.Many officers and soldiers showed their heads on the walls of the village.was overturned in the ditch.The dense rain of bullets shot a series of sparks on the wall of the village.Soon the smoke covered everything.But the shooting will not stop without an order.So the flintlocks were still firing in turn.Destroyed anyone's attempt to break through the wall.

within minutes.Gunpowder smoke filled the entire interior of the fortress.The screams of soldiers continued to emanate from the walls of the stronghold.None of the officers and soldiers who rushed into the wall survived.Almost all were killed.

Zhao Xuanming blew the conch.The officers and soldiers of the guard quickly carried several long wooden planks that had been dismantled from the warehouse.Rush up the bloody wall of the village.Lay the boards directly over the trench.A bayonet charge was launched against the remaining government troops outside the wall of the village.

The strongest Yiwu soldiers failed.The rest of the officers and soldiers dispersed in a hurry.Instead, Yiwu soldiers became the queen.Nearly 800 of the 400 nominal black soldiers died in this battle.More than 200 people were injured.There are only more than 200 people who can walk back to the camp by themselves.

The guards of the Chinese company in the fortress killed more than 100 people.Hundreds of people were injured.It can be described as the biggest casualty since the war began.Zhao Xuanming led the team out of the fortress.After chasing for several miles.Once again, the officer and army camp at Shili Beach was burned down.He also captured more than 80 nominal black soldiers.Very carefully brought back to the fort.

Henceforth.Zhu Wenda no longer has the heart to fight.He was thinking about withdrawing his troops back to Fujian.But.Now the news from the direction of Fujian has been cut off.Even the messenger who sent the governor to ask for help did not come.They don't know where the main force of the Chinese company's fleet is.In case of retreating, we just meet those giant ships covered with gun holes.That's no fun.

They don't know yet.Yin Feng has cleaned up almost all of Fujian's coastal areas.He is currently stationed at Haitan Bay on the east side of Haitan Island.The fleet of warships patrolled the coast of Fuzhou.The sea route of Fuzhou was blocked.Cut off the connection between the Fujian government and the Penghu front.

Mai Dahai led a patrol between Penghu and Kinmen with the main battleship "Flying Leopard".Search and arrest all government ships attempting to deliver supplies to Penghu.

The entire coast of Fujian.From north to south, it has become a place where warships of the Chinese company travel freely.The two warship fleets that returned from Luzon some time ago had a total of twenty warships.Not even a port of call in Taiwan.Came directly to the Golden Gate.The blockade of the coast of Fujian has been strengthened.

Penghu Island gradually became an isolated island with no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside.More than ten thousand officers and soldiers gradually became aware of their situation.Although there are nearly 300 ships of officers and soldiers in Magong Port and Xiyu in Penghu.But there are fifty or sixty warships equipped with firearms.And the sailors of the officers and sailors all know it.These so-called warships are in front of the warships of the Chinese company.It's just a joke.
