Chapter 769: Shrewd Xu Chaoguang

At the mouth of the Pearl River, after being reorganized, warships have started to aim again.

"Forward!"

The tall coffin looked like he stood on the bow of the ship, waved his hand towards the Pearl River and gave the latest command, and continued to move forward with Ogawa Shiro's fleet, aiming directly at the city of Guangzhou.

In his plan, even if he can't sack the city of Guangzhou, he must take the opportunity to knock it out. Now that the governor of Liangguang and the general army of Liangguang have fled to Chaozhou, it is undoubtedly an excellent time for the dragons to be leaderless in the city.

"Brother Fa, then let's say goodbye, the younger brother will level this Pearl River Estuary for his brother!" Xu Chaoguang stood on the head of a lucky ship and said goodbye to the coffin.

The coffin hair faced Xu Chaoguang's farewell, but he sneered, and looked down on this rat in his heart. Just for the sake of the overall situation, he still raised his hand perfunctorily for some face.

Xu Chaoguang maintained a respectful smile on his face, and naturally looked at the coffin's disdain for him.

It's just that he was a pirate when he was a child, and the reason why he has been able to survive until now is not how strong he is, but because he knows how to protect himself wisely and always minimizes his own risks.

If the coffin can take down Guangzhou City, how can he get a piece of the super fat meat of Guangzhou City. If the coffin was smashed into the city of Guangzhou, at most he would have lost his ally Shiro Ogawa, and he himself would be unscathed.

"Big boss, how are we going to fight?"

One of his subordinates watched the coffin-haired fleet move away, and came over and asked.

Xu Chaoguang's face was slightly constricted, and he looked greedily at the peninsula to the west. After his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he took the name of flattening the mouth of the Pearl River, but he wanted to take the fat of Haojing.

In fact, before he came, his biggest goal was here, and he didn't count on Guangzhou City. Now that he has arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River so smoothly, he has greatly increased his confidence, and with 800 troops, he will definitely be able to easily take this place.

Xu Chaoguang kept his own strength all the way, and the gunpowder prepared in the bilge did not wear out too much, and he had already made up his mind and said: "Let the second and third children land on the east bank with his men and horses, and we will detour to the Haojing Xijiang River to take the dock!" ”

"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and immediately conveyed the message.

In the same way, Xu Chaoguang's fleet was divided into two groups, one path went straight to Haojing, and the other was a detour. All of a sudden, the west side of the Pearl River estuary showed a dog's tooth trend, as if it was about to swallow the mirror into the stomach.

Xu Chaoguang personally led two Fu ships and two centipede ships as the main warships, and the rest of the small warships followed. With this combat power, it is undoubtedly easy to swallow half of the strength of Xiangshan Qianhusuo.

"Light the fire, put it!"

After sailing into the Xijiang River, two centipede boats took the lead, but it was a preemptive attack.

In their opinion, their whereabouts have long been revealed anyway, but it is impossible to carry out a surprise attack, or there is no need to carry out a surprise attack at all, it is better to directly appear on the stage and give the officers and soldiers stationed here a dismount.

The heavy cannons of the two centipede ships began to reckless, and one after another solid cannonballs flew high towards the river, and then smashed heavily on the river, immediately splashing high white water columns.

In naval warfare, the comparison is the hard power of ships and heavy artillery, and whoever has more ships and more artillery is often the final winner, and has little to do with tactics.

Xu Chaoguang was most afraid of the only fort in Haojing, which could bring Jiangxi into the firing range. However, he also conducted research, and the original intention of the Franc machine man to build the fort was to prevent the lotus stem, so its range did not completely cover the Xijiang River.

In the same way, the fleet chose to drive on the west bank of the West River, intending to avoid the range of the Haojing Battery, and then bombarded the Haojing with the ship's guns, thus creating a great chaos in the entire Haojing.

"Ready!"

Xu Chaoguang looked confident and raised his right hand, he only needed to bombard Haojing all the way, and the second and third children took the opportunity to cover up and kill all the way, and the entire Haojing was bound to fall into his hands.

Bang!

But at this time, the sound of artillery was deafening.

Cannonballs weighing a few catties, ten catties, or even fifteen catties roared from the north, and then landed heavily in the camp of Xu Chaoguang's fleet, showing a trend of overwhelming mountains and seas.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two tall ships bore the brunt of the blow, some shells directly broke through the hull, some smashed big holes in the deck, and some smashed into the attic of the ship, and even smashed some pirates directly into a blur of flesh and blood.

Bang!

One of the shells knocked a large hole in the waterline of a lucky ship, and a large amount of river water immediately poured into it, and the hull of the ship slowly sank with a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How?"

Xu Chaoguang didn't have time to put down his raised hand, but when he saw this unexpected scene, the whole person was immediately stunned, looking towards the north incredibly.

However, he saw that a fleet appeared in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River, in addition to the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the merchant ships of the Franc Robot, and they were frantically shelling the fleet on their side.

One of the most striking was a three-masted gunboat, a nightmare he once had that almost killed him in Leizhou Bay.

"Put it again!"

Qiao Yifeng, who was dressed in battle armor, stood majestically on the bow of the ship, pointing at Xu Chaoguang's fleet and giving orders, and the four Thor cannons and twenty thousand-pound Buddha cannons continued to spew fire and smoke.

This is Qiao Yifeng's earlier stalking, coupled with the help of the tiger girl to intercede, so he finally "borrowed" such a large warship from the United Shipyard.

When he got the three-masted gunboat, he slept with a smile that night. Compared with the warships of the Ming Dynasty, which focused on carrying goods and people, this behemoth was born for naval warfare and was a weapon that true sea warriors dreamed of.

This battleship is equipped with three masts, which greatly increases the speed of the ship, and in addition to being equipped with eight Thor cannons, there are also forty thousand-pound Franc machine guns, which is basically a sea battery.

These days, Qiao Yifeng has been practicing at sea, just like the king who is high up and despises the world. Now is the time to use the army, and some people are not nervous, but eager to try.

Now facing this group of pirates, facing this fleet, it is time to check the results of his drills.

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

Xu Chaoguang saw that the three-masted gunboat had appeared, and the ship of the Franc machine man had actually participated in the battle, but he had no ambition to occupy Haojing, and immediately shouted loudly.

Even though a blessed ship has been planted here, he has no intention of fighting, only hoping to escape from this hell on earth and keep this last piece of family wealth.
