Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On September [-]th of the first year of Taishun, shortly after the sun in the east leaped out of the sea, a group of warships lined up in two formations broke into the horseshoe-shaped entrance of Tuotang Port.The fastest updated novel [ ] Due to the ongoing war, the lazy Guangnan people are unusually vigilant at this time. As soon as the unknown warship broke in, the observation posts on Han Island and Son Tra Peninsula rose almost simultaneously. .

In Yinshi, the group of warships first sailed towards the Fort of Han Island. As the ships approached, the blue, red and blue tricolor flags hanging on the top of their sails were clearly visible under the reflection of the rising sun in the east. The red color looked so ferocious and bloody in the rays of the sun that after approaching the sea off Han Island, the panicked Guangnan defenders fired warning shots first, trying to order the opponent not to approach again.

The sound of the rumbling guns and the soaring jet of water seemed to startle the approaching Mingzheng Navy. The flagship [Minjiang] raised a string of flags, and then all the gunboats opened the starboard gun port one after another, pushing out the dark muzzle. .

Seemingly aware of the signs of the Ming Zheng navy firing, the artillery shells from the Han Island Fort quickly became denser, but the position of the Han Island Fort was facing due east, and the dazzling eyes made the original gunners even more abnormal.

At three quarters of Yin time, the Mingzheng navy approaching the fort of Han Island began to change its formation, and the original two rows of troops formed a long line of troops.After another quarter of an hour, the leading [Minjiang] approached the fort, and the projectiles fired by the fort were already within easy reach. At this time, I saw a crosscut of [Minjiang], and seven three-inch long guns on the right side of the ship's side were fired one by one. Open fire, and instantly hit the rocks on the bank, the mud and sand splashed, and the smoke column soared into the sky

The [Minjiang No.] that finished shooting immediately sailed away, and a moment later, the second gunboat [Cao Ejiang No.] fired seven hot cannonballs to the shore at almost the same position of [Minjiang No.].Next, 【Qingyijiang】, 【Dazhangxi】, 【Oujiang】, 【Jinjiang】, 【Zhuoshuixi】, and 【Songxi】 stepped forward to launch successively, like a volcano erupting continuously. Put the horrors of the last days on the people of Guangnan. [ ]

In the continuous bombardment of the opponent, the Han Island Fort also tried its best to resist, but because most of the cannons it possessed were 3-pound and 6-pound light red cannons, they could not reach the Mingzheng ships on the sea at all, and a small number of 9 The pounder guns are far inferior to the three-inch long guns uniformly equipped on Ming Zheng gunboats.

Therefore, after fighting for a while, the sound of the Han Island Fort began to be intermittent, but the Ming Zheng Navy still refused to give up. The comeback [Minjiang] even rushed closer to the coast under Wu Shiming's guidance, and then the long artillery, short The guns were fired together, once again setting off a bloody storm on the fort of Han Island.

Speaking of which, the range of the four-inch short gun can barely reach sixty or seventy feet, which is far inferior to the three-inch long gun that can shoot two or three miles. However, the 44-jin shell is not comparable to the [-]-jin shell. Occasionally, one or two hits made the fort carefully built by the Guangnan people show signs of disintegration.

After another round, the Han Island Fort was completely mute.Chang Tianyuan and Du Hu were still preparing for the last round of torture, but at this time, heavy sail shadows had already risen in the eastern part of the bay, and nearly a hundred Guangnan ships, willing or not, had assembled, ready to use ship-to-sea tactics to submerge A mere eight invading enemies.

Now that the warships in the harbor had been lured out, the Ming Zheng navy sailed out of the harbor.Naturally, the Guangnan people also noticed the whereabouts of their opponents, and the commander of the navy ordered his subordinates to go north first to cut off the enemy's escape route.However, Tuotang Bay is too spacious. Let alone a hundred ships, even if the number is doubled, it may not be able to seal the entire harbor. Therefore, the meaning of Guangnan is not to force the Ming Zheng Navy to fight a decisive battle, but an alternative of seeing off guests.

"My lord, don't pursue him." On the flagship of the Guangnan Navy, an assistant officer said to the general. 【New】"Beware of scams."

Another lieutenant general also said: "Da Ming's ships are huge, sailing across the ocean is like your own backyard, while our division's warships are numerous, but they are of different sizes. Once they enter the ocean, they will lose their advantage. Your lord has already driven out the enemies who invaded the ocean, but what if Greedy and aggressive"

"Needless to say." The chief general of the Guangnan Navy stretched out his hand to stop it. "Immediately withdraw the troops, and send another person to look at the side of Han Island."

"Bastard Guangnan people, why don't you chase after them?" The purpose of bombarding the fort on Han Island was to draw out the Guangnan fleet under the cover of the fort on the eastern front. A date with no return made Chang Tianyuan and others, who were just a step away from the door, had to carry out the second set of plans. "Send the flag, let's fight back!"

So, the [Minjiang No.] and his party, who turned around and came back, rushed into Tuotang Bay again.

In fact, the seasoned general of Guangnan still sent a few warships towed behind to monitor the movements of the Ming Zheng Navy.But these defensive measures were not enough. The Zheng Army warships that quickly passed by them were not even interested in bombarding them, but just rushed towards the main fleet of the Guangnan Navy like a wolf.

The Guangnan ship turned around again after hearing the warning ship firing a warning gun, but the originally tight formation had become a little chaotic.At this time, the Ming Zheng Navy, who came over like an arrow from the string, did not give the opponent a chance to reorganize at all, just like a thin blade cutting tofu, it brushed past the wing of the Guangnan Fleet.

Che Xuan, this is the basic tactics of Zheng Jun's navy. Du Hu and others, who are already familiar with it, are firing cannons and small cannons one after another while they are advancing rapidly---taking the rotten ships equipped by the Guangnan Navy, even the largest For the best flagship, a 44-jin heavy artillery shell is enough to kill. As for the small boats that make up the numbers, they can't even parry a [-]-jin shell.

Of course, not all the eight gunboats fired solid bullets like the [Minjiang]. Chain bullets, shotgun bullets, and hot bullets can also cause chaos in the Guangnan navy.When a mast-damaged boat collides with a burning chasm, when a bird ship with no survivors obstructs a friendly ship that is ready to fight (flee), even the most insensitive people understand the naval battle. The ending is probably too big to be good.

If it was in the open sea, the Guangnan navy would face desperation sooner or later after being hit like this, but this is the inland sea. If it is impossible, the Guangnan navy can still take shelter under the cover of its own fort. Therefore, when the overall situation is unfavorable, it is not the regular army. The first choice of the former pirates was not to fight back but to flee.

Since the resistance of the Guangnan people was weak, the Ming Zheng Navy was not happy and continued to do the circumcision cautiously. The Qiongjia team headed by Wei Fa's ship [Oujiang] did not continue the tactics of Du Hu's team, but They simply rushed straight into the Guangnan Navy Fleet, and the four gunboats fired left and right, making the Guangnan people howl.

Wei Fa had a good time in the heart of Guangnan people, so Du Hu naturally wouldn't grab anything from him, so the four gunboats including the "Minjiang" echoed from the outside, and under the pincer attack from inside and outside, more people from Guangnan The Nanchuan couldn't hold back and fled back one after another. Among them, the smart ones ran aground directly, and some confused ones fled to their own military port under the hostage of Ming Zheng Navy.

Seeing the defeat in the naval battle, the fort on the Son Tra Peninsula began to fire to meet its own ships.However, like the Han Island Fort, the artillery caliber of the Son Tra Peninsula Fort is too small and the range is too short. Even the nine-pound gun cannot pose too much threat to the Ming Zheng Navy. Was shot by Du Hu and his party.

Because the Qiongjia team is still cleaning up the remaining Guangnan ships on the sea, the Duhu team's suppression of the fort on the Son Tra Peninsula is not as effective as that on the Han Island, and the sandbag fortress in the military port is also desperately shooting at the Duhu team at this moment, although it does not cause any damage at all. It was not harmful, but at least it successfully delayed the destruction of the Son Tra Peninsula Fort.

"[Cao Ejiang] was shot?" Chang Tianyuan and Du Hu, who moved out of position after shooting, suddenly found a column of smoke rising from the follow-up ship, and the two who dared not neglect ordered almost at the same time. "Quickly ask about the casualties."

The flag was sent, and the answer came back quickly: "Commander Situ reported that [Cao'ejiang] was hit by a bullet on the upper deck. Two sailors were seriously injured, and two others were slightly injured. In addition, a hole was burned in the sail."

"It's too careless." Du Hu frowned a little dissatisfied, and the subtext was naturally that Situ Da got too close.

But this was the swan song of Shancha Fort. Next, the Ming Zheng Navy, who was on guard, kept a distance carefully, and retaliated wildly with raindrops of artillery fire at a place where the opponent could not reach.With several loud explosion sounds and black smoke rising into the sky, the Camellia Fortress that died in the explosion was completely destroyed.

"Qiongjia team." Du Hu still wanted to greet Wei Fa. "You bastard, why did you run ahead of us?" But I saw that the Qiongjia Squadron of the Guangnan Fleet floating in the sea had already started shelling the sandbag fort. "Send the flag, don't worry about the Qiongjia team, let's rush into the port and clean up the remaining Guangnan ships."

At the end of September 11th in the first year of Taishun, Tuodang Port, which had been noisy for a long time, finally calmed down. Except for a few ships that were lucky enough to hide in the Tuodang River and Songqu River, the main force of the Guangnan Navy sank. The bottom of the sea was turned into a torch, and three forts that cost Ruan a huge sum of money to build were turned into ruins. On the Ming and Zheng side, only a very small number of ships suffered negligible losses. [-] people only.

The battle report was sent to Fuchun immediately, and Master Ruan was shocked, thinking that Ming Zheng was about to cover Zheng Zhu's landing in Tuotang Bay.Ruan Fuhao, who didn't dare to neglect, could only urgently call back [-] soldiers from the front line of Hengshan.Due to the mobilization of the troops ahead, Lord Ruan's army was forced to shrink the line of defense, and the first Great Wall was completely captured by Lord Zheng.However, the terrain of Hengshan hindered Lord Zheng from pursuing the victory, so the two sides continued to fight on the second Great Wall. The battle was fierce, but the ending was still confusing.
