The nowhere to be found Zeng Yi cast a haze over Xiangshan, and Chen Mu, who was a rat trap, had two difficult roads in front of him.

A large army rescues Guanghaiwei, or part of the troops reinforces Guanghai.

"Guanghai must be saved, the governor has ordered to gather soldiers and horses from all over the country to go to Guanghai, I will bring five hundred banner troops, Sun Qianhu will stay."

Sun Ao left behind the banner army that was killed and wounded, and after the reorganization was done properly, Xiangshan and Haojing could still leave 800 banner troops, "Even if Zeng Yi comes, he can resist for a few days." ”

Guanghai is very close to Xiangshan, and even if they are on the coast, the enemy beacon can be rushed back in a few days.

After being tossed by Xu Jinmei like this, Chen Mu's fleet on the expedition was reduced by several hundred, and two centipede ships and one lucky ship sailed from the coastal sea to Guanghaiwei with five hundred banner troops.

This time, Chen Mu had experience in naval warfare, and prepared enough gunpowder in the bilge of the Fu ship, each Franc machine was equipped with six guns, and when the battle started, full fire could ensure the coverage of hundreds of continuous artillery fire, which was very effective in striking at the enemy's ships.

The Franc cannon is called a swing gun in Europe, also called a murder gun, which is specially used to bombard the sailors and attack the sails of the ship at a long distance.

With the abundance of warships and more artillery, Chen Mu also has a little understanding of naval warfare in this era.

Compared with Western warships, the Ming Dynasty Fu ships were more focused on merchants, for example, the two Fu ships that captured the Haikou belonged to the commercial form of the Ming Fu ships, with a large cargo capacity and a high carrying capacity, and the disadvantage was that it was not mainly artillery warfare.

Yu Dayou's transfer of two military ships further increased the number of troops, and the bow and stern of the ships were raised with a similar idea of the ancient building ships, so that when the ships collided, they had a condescending advantage.

All of them are guided by close-range threats and gang-jumping operations.

Chen Mu has only two centipede ships in his hands, with excellent personnel and slightly less cargo, but they are extremely flexible in battle, armed with many Franco machine guns, but this kind of Arab warship has not yet shown the direction of leaning towards heavy artillery, and the Ming ship has been opened up in shape, but it is not obvious.

In just 100 years to come, the Western adventurers who sailed around the world pushed forward the progress of Western warships with great speed, leaving behind the ships of other civilizations at a running speed, and developing terrifying sea monsters with cannons and giant ships.

If you want the Ming ship to occupy a place at sea, it must be improved.

Chen Mu's luck was good, there was no wind and waves on the sea during the voyage, and even the delay in Haojing also arrived in the Guanghaiwei sea area within four days, bypassing Dajin Island, passing through the strait between Shangchuan Island and Xinning, and the Guanghai Acropolis was in sight.

Guanghaiwei built the acropolis as early as the 27th year of Hongwu, 17 years earlier than Tianjin Wei, the acropolis wall is built according to the mountain and is 530 zhang long, the city is three zhang and nine feet high, there is a wide moat of five feet deep and two feet outside the city to go around the city, it is the Xiongcheng of the South China Sea.

It's just that nearly 200 years have passed, and the lax and lax Guanghai guards have long been no longer in the grand past.

"Outside the city are our reinforcements from all over the city...... Exercise! Shelling! ”

Bang!

The ship was still hundreds of paces from the shore, and the enemy platform of the Acropolis of Guanghai was a section above the city wall burst into three bright lights, and the artillery bombarded the neighboring ships, and the half-human high waves were picked up all around, and a stone bullet hit the bow of the ship embedded in the cracked wooden wall.

"The son of a bitch is quite accurate, three cannons, listening to the sound is like a haircut, Guanghaiwei has fallen!" Chen Mu originally thought that Guanghaiwei would be able to resist for a few days, but the forts in the corner of the city in front of him were captured by the enemy, and it was obvious that the acropolis had fallen, "The order to go forward and listen to the order to return fire, get out of the way!" ”

Chen Mu was enraged by the flying cannonball, the cannonball that hit the female wall was only a few steps away from him, and a little deviation would knock him to the west, if there was anyone on the centipede ship who was most likely to use the ship's first cannon to bombard the Acropolis tower at a distance of hundreds of steps, then only Chen Mu would be.

In the past six months, Chen Mu has improved the artillery frame angle maker, Chen Mu has played more artillery than anyone else, and the data is precocious and rotten in his heart, and he angrily pushed away the artillery and squatted behind the cannon to give orders, "Press down the two holes, give me the torch, forward forward, do it!" ”

The gun carriage made by Chen Mu is made of arc-shaped thick wood at the tail of the gun with a hole with an even angle, supported by an iron rod, and the muzzle is lowered to a low and a lower muzzle to be high.

The higher the downward adjustment, the farther the projectile parabola will fall until 45 degrees, and the higher the angle upwards, the higher the close bombardment.

With Chen Mu igniting the fire on the side of the cannon, as soon as he covered his ears and turned his back, there was a loud bang behind him, and the cannon equipped with the wheel frame retreated violently and was mounted on the wooden frame three feet behind, the muzzle of the cannon emitted firelight, and the air was filled with gunsmoke, and the cannonball bombarded the city tower at the southern end of Guanghaiwei.

"Hit! Senho-sama played well! ”

The bow artillery jumped for a while, and Chen Mu, who was patting his left ear, looked at the city tower, and the bricks and tiles of the eaves of the city tower were falling down the city, "Turn the rudder!" Paddle left! Right string, get ready for ignition! ”

Chen Mu, who had a slight buzz in his left ear, shouted an order, and the flag-bearers waved the flags at the bow, deck, and stern rudders, and the small flags everywhere shouted hoarsely, and the left-string flag army struggled to maneuver, and in a very short time, the hull of the ship was horizontal, and the artillerymen adjusted the seventeen Francophone machines on the right side to the right angle with all hands and feet, and all of them were aimed at the Guanghai Acropolis Tower.

In fact, the Furlong cannon does not belong to the gunwald, but the gyroscope gun fixed on the side of the ship, which will be used as a supplementary firepower to make up for the lack of gunwald angles in the future, is now the main firepower of Chen Mu's fleet.

"Light the fire, put it!"

More than a dozen string cannons spewed out fire and smoke, and the cannonballs scattered out successively bombarded the city walls and city towers, and smashed into the city towers.

Several widows on the city tower were very smart, because the next moment Deng Zilong's centipede ship also fired a string cannon along the flagship route, and the continuous artillery fire hit the city tower many times and even broke one of the enemy's wooden pillars, causing the eaves on the south side of the city tower to collapse sharply, and the smoke and dust stormed.

After that, the swaying Fu Boat followed the two centipede boats unhurriedly, and Wei Balang on the boat waved the command flag very seriously: "Bombardment!" ”

Bang, bang.

The two small ones placed on the deck of the Franc machine spewed flames and hit the Guanghaiwei wall, the eighth master did not give any more orders, turned his head and stared directly at the centipede ship not far away, showing more than a dozen cannon barrels, and was silent for a long time.

The mentality is about the same as when Chen Mu occasionally stands on the reef and looks out at the horizon to the west.

Chen Mu was still dissatisfied, and led the fleet to blast out a round of the Japanese guards on the city wall, seeing that the effect was very small, so he docked on the coast far away from the acropolis, and when he got off the boat, the banner army of Qingcheng came to guide the way.

Stepping into the city position, when he saw Bai Yuanjie for the first time, he asked: "How did these widows defeat the Acropolis, did they abandon the city and run away?" ”

Originally, the generals who were greatly encouraged to see the reinforcements and ships bombarding the city tower and the artillery fire in the sky were all excited when they saw Chen Mu leading the troops coming, and when they heard his words, they all fell silent, and the expressions on their faces became complicated.

"No, they're brave."

Bai Yuanjie shook his head solemnly slightly, and in a very depressed atmosphere, he said: "Commanding Wang Zhen, pacifying Zhou Bingtang, and Helan of the hundred households, they all fought to the death according to the city, and the troops were insufficient, and there were only 400 banner troops in the city of more than 2,000 troops and more than 1,000 people - no trace of anyone escaping outside the city has been found." ”

-

In history, the battle of Guanghaiwei took place in the first month of the third winter of the third year of Longqing, and Wang Zhen, Zhou Bingtang, and He Lan all had their own people.
