Chapter Eighty-Six: Kunpeng
The brass eyepiece reflects the continuous tropical dense forests on the red earth along the Baigu coast, during which the forts are lined with fortifications to form a complete coastal fortification.
Deng Zilong's face was cautious, his eyes squinted slightly, and he used his ears and eyes to analyze the threat of the coast to them with the fortress fortifications of the Portuguese.
It's not that he is timid, if he must give this emotion a name, maybe it should be called 'Chen Mu's sequelae'.
No one in the entire Nanyang has the experience of operating warships to storm the fortress, the only fortress they have seen is that Chen Mu exchanged a few ships of goods for the Malacca fortress built by the Portuguese, if this is the case, no one will be afraid of the coastal defense fortress, the problem is that they are Chen Mu's subordinates.
Although they had never attacked the fortress, each of them saw with their own eyes how their coach Chen Mu built the fortress and how he distributed the defense.
The Mazu Niangniang Temples and Dragon and Tiger Zhenjun Dojos, which are widely distributed in Binduro, Manila, Haojing and Weigang, are so powerful that the bravest warriors will stop.
This kind of prudence has nothing to do with the personal courage of the generals, but only with their experience.
If it weren't Deng Zilong standing on the deck of the Chihai ship at this time, but General Chen Bazhi, who was bombarded by Japan and was an enemy of the country, he would not care about any coastal defense.
"This land is really magical, Mang Yinglong and his son are like obsessed with the pagoda, if he uses this energy to repair the cannon temple, I'm afraid Chen Shuai won't be able to catch up with Bai Mei."
Deng Zilong put down the goggles, raised his palm and waved it forward, and said to the drummer: "Order the front army, and the battle is close to Hong Kong; The transport ship was postponed as a surprise soldier and prepared to jump. ”
Die, alternate meaning, the stacked array is the main learning formation of the guarded army, belongs to the dignified formation of the army, each formation is six or seven steps apart, the front formation listens to the drum and stops a few steps forward, Hou Hou rear formation moves forward a few steps, and then the front formation alternately covers the march, so it is called the stacked formation.
In naval battles, the Nanyang Military Government usually uses a line array of gunwales to attack the main attack, which is Chen Mu's usual formation, and it is also used by the Nanyang Navy, but to forcibly attack the port, it also depends on the dignified formation.
Of course, the stacking array at sea is different from that on land, and there are differences in spacing and overlapping methods.
It is still seven or eight miles away from the Sancha River Bay Fortress at the mouth of the Baigu River, and the flag-bearer of the stern of the Chihai ship ascends to the height and waves, and the dragon horn flag is displayed and ordered, and the drum towers of the two Chihai-class battleships near the sea are ordered, and the drummers of the elite and red upper body are struggling to wave the drumsticks.
Boom!
Several Shangyin war drums sounded at the same time, as if they were smashed on the sea, followed by another feather drum, which struck heavily in the hearts of the banner army.
Later, Deng Zilong personally climbed the drum tower and waved the horn flag to order the drummer, and the drum sound was changed into music, which continued endlessly.
The four fleets of the Western former army, each team had two 500-material shark ships and four 200-material small shark ships, and the main team was a thousand large and medium-sized warships, and 25 warships of all sizes moved when they heard the sound.
The former army commander commanded the three masts of the Qianliu Liga battleship on which Shi Qi rode to raise the butterfly sails in the middle of the formation, like a giant beast on the sea spreading its wings, reflecting the huge carved and lacquered Kunpeng sailing chart on the bow of the flat-headed ship above the waterline, and each team successively sailed and pounced on the Baiguhe Bay fortress.
That's right, Kunpeng went out to sea, and the giant ship was Shao Tingda's ship.
No one knows why General Manghu loves the bow with auspicious meanings, and the Nanyang Command Envoy's first-class general's official ships have now been replaced with thousands of large ships, and the bow made of stone statues and wooden statues has become a trend.
Just like Lou Qimai's Chihai-class ship, there is a bottle of iron-reinforced cement statue at the bow, and the head of the Ming army general covered with iron-faced armor and wearing an iron scarf is slightly bowed, and his helmet and gun are raised and raised.
Shao Tingdadu has become an old-fashioned general of the Nanyang Army, because there are 500 sword and axe hands, his subordinates have less than forty percent of the flag weapons, and the equipment rate is the lowest, replacing Deng Zilong as the general who likes cold soldiers to fight, and the flat-headed Kunpeng chart, which is unique among the Nanyang warships, has become its symbol.
No less well-known than Lou Chimai's iron general.
Because of this, Shao Tingda, who was holding his pocket and carrying the steel knife into the sheath, could only stand on the Dafu boat at this time, watching Shi Qi drive his beloved warship towards the port, and muttered reluctantly: "Damn, the storyteller's boat is not distressed, and Kunpeng's sea map can't be saved, why is it so difficult for Lao Tzu to make a big difference?" ”
Around him, nine fortune ships carrying nearly 100 troops lined up on the sea, and the mission of more than 800 banner troops under his command in this battle was nothing else, it was the most dangerous jump in the war, for which everyone was chained inside and outside the cuirass, this battle did not need them to participate, once Deng Zilong ordered them to fight, there was no need to think about retreating.
After buckling the scarf, the Shiqi front army fleet drove out for about two miles, and the drums of the Chinese warships behind him changed tone, Shao Tingda threw the war knife to the sick seedlings, climbed the bow of the Fu ship, took out the magic eyepiece, and opened his five fingers to push forward while looking.
Deng Zilong gave the order, and the whole army maintained the formation and advanced five miles.
There was a sound of sail raising and steering on the ship, Shao Tingda only looked at it for a moment, and then simply inserted the god eye mirror into the gap in the bow tower to place the objects, and turned around and ordered with a grumbling...... Ordered everyone to check the armor, carry the swords, axes, and hands, and reload, and guns. ”
The reckless insect patted his head, he didn't know what order he could give to his men, and he was embarrassed to ignore them as if they were going to leave the gunners to fend for themselves on the eve of the war, so he simply raised his hand and said: "The gunners are all for me to bring the short soldiers on the ship, the siege bird is not easy to use, my Shao Tingda's soldiers, even the bird gunners can kill them!" ”
The sick Yang'er, who was holding his adoptive father's war knife, nodded heavily when he heard this: "What my father said is true!" ”
Zheng Song, the deputy of the ship, who was standing on the side, heard the conversation between the father and son downstairs, and looked left and right with a smile on his face-sick Yang'er, this father, the child is so old that he doesn't give people a serious name, forget it, and the birds and guns under his command are equipped with stabs, and let people go into battle with steel knives and axes, and they also made up their minds to let the flag army take the guns...... When his father is still the flag army, will it?
Zheng Cong can listen to his father say that in the early years of Montenegro encountering bandits, Chen Shuai really became a melee bird gunner.
In the distance, there was a cannon sound from the stone village on the bank of the Sancha River, and Shao Tingda on the bow suddenly pulled out his goggles and looked forward again, with joy at the corner of his mouth, the progress of the battle was finally carried out to the point where he could understand!
It was still a little later, the Portuguese built this Baigu fortress for Mang Yinglong to guard against the Arakanese pirates in the west, hoarding a large number of artillery, and the smoke was filled for a while, and the general Manghu failed to see the artillery firing in unison, and when he held up the goggles, he could only see that the Liqian army was still across the sea from the cannonballs.
Shao Tingda's only apprehension in his heart was gone, and he opened his mouth and smiled at Yang'er: "Go and give the order, we can't run this battle, just this firepower, my Kunpeng sea map is saved!" ”
The waves that hit the water are not as high as the ship's side, what's so scary about that?
