Under the city of Wanzhou, the war drums sounded in unison, the flags were hunting, and the Ming army lined up in a neat formation outside the city.

On the sea, hundreds of large and small warships flying the battle flags of the Daming Navy Division blocked the exit of the Wanzhou Navy Division, and the larger Western soft sail warships and Chinese hard-sail warships opened fierce fire on the Gangmen Stone Fort and launched an offensive.

Wang Xinyu's fleet, except for a fifth-class cruiser, two 290-ton sixth-class privateers, and more than 30 small boats of the captured Yazhou Navy Division were placed in Haikou to prevent the Qing Navy Division in Haikou from escaping, and the rest of the warships were all concentrated in the Wanzhou sea area and launched a war of annihilation against the Wanzhou Qing Army Navy.

The flagship Drake and her sister ships took advantage of the ship's strong guns and the longer range of their guns than the Qing batteries, and they were the first to fire on the batteries.

The two giant ships lined up, marching from south to north, all the gun doors on the port side were opened, more than 30 cannons spewed out fire in turn, billowing white smoke filled the sea, the cannon sound was like thunder, and rows of cannonballs roared and smashed into the Gangmen stone fort.

The cannonballs that fell like a report smashed on the Qing army's fort, and in an instant, the smoke and dust filled the huge boulder and cracked. The shells that smashed on the fort bounced around with the gravel, and the sharp stones flew sideways like shrapnel, and the Qing soldiers were constantly hit by the gravel and fell screaming. A 24-pound shell just hit a gun position, and the cannon weighing more than 700 pounds flew up like a toy, made a few turns in the air, and fell to the ground.

"Get out of the way!" The Qing soldiers scattered and fled.

The cannon that flew up to the sky fell to the ground, smashed a large crater on the heavy bluestone floor, bounced a few more times, rolled on the ground and hit another cannon before stopping.

The two fifth-class cruisers and eleven privateers in the back lined up in a long line, and drove past one after another, and hundreds of cannons poured shells into the Gangmen Stone Fort. With each salvo, the fire flickered on the sea, like a lightning bolt on the sea, and the whistling cannonballs slammed down on the battery.

The Qing batteries were covered by heavy artillery fire and suffered heavy losses. However, many Qing soldiers were still very brave, and they braved the heavy artillery bombardment, used artillery, and counterattacked the sea.

Courage could not make up for the gap in weapons, and the shells released by the Qing army's batteries could not hit the British-built giant ships at all, and could only fall into the sea and stir up columns of water that rushed to the sky.

The Drake took 17 large and small warships, turned a big bend in the sea area north of the fort, turned from north to south, lined up in a column and swept over the sea in front of the Qing army fort again, and another round of fierce shelling, the starboard gun door spit out a ball of fire, and hundreds of shells roared and smashed onto the Qing army fort.

Even the hard sail battleships also joined the attack on the forts, these Zheng Jiajun's own hard sail warships of course could not be like the Western warships to shoot back and forth with the left and right sides in turn, the hard sail battleships were parked outside the range of the Qing army's battery, the bow was aimed at the battery, and the red-coated cannon on the bow of the ship was used to fire continuously, shooting at a fixed point, and smashing a shell onto the Qing army's battery, causing smoke and dust to fly on the battery.

All the large and small warships of the Wanzhou Navy Division of the Qing army were sealed in the port, and none of the warships of the Qing army dared to leave the port. Because the largest warship of the Qing army here is only more than 200 materials, equivalent to more than 100 tons, which is not as big as a sixth-class privateer. The firepower is not to be compared, the Qing warships have one cannon in the bow and three guns on each side; A sixth-class privateer had two cannons at the bow and stern and seven cannons on each side, and a 150-ton sixth-class ship had eighteen cannons. Although the guns of the 150-ton Class 6 ships were all four-pounder guns, the British-made guns had a long range, high accuracy, and were not small in power. Not to mention that there are also sixth-class privateers with a capacity of more than 200 tons, which are larger than the main battleship of the Ming army, the Daifuku ship.

Shells kept smashing on the forts, and the Qing troops on the forts were full of flesh and blood, with heavy casualties.

Seeing that their artillery could not hit the battleship on the sea at all, the resistance of the Qing soldiers on the battery became weaker and weaker, and after arriving, the Qing soldiers simply stopped resisting and went around looking for concealment to avoid the shelling from the sea.

The battleships on the sea in front of them shelled the Gangmen Stone Fort, but more than 500 Ming troops who landed from the Podou area on the shore launched an attack from behind the Qing Fort.

The more than 500 elites of the Ming army led by Chen Lei were all wearing captured Qing army uniforms and green battalion hats on their heads, and they couldn't tell if they had shaved their hair. Each of the soldiers scattered the bundle of hair, took it off a little, and tied it in a rat-tail. The Qing army looked at it from a distance, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army.

More than 100 special combat personnel led by Cai Dezhong and Hu Dedi, two masters, were also mixed in the middle of the Ming army that attacked by surprise.

There is also a special member of the team, which is a Qing army general who was captured in the mountains and forests before. This Qing army general was always willing to surrender to the Ming army and help the Ming army take the Wanzhou Navy Battalion, so he was brought over by Chen Lei.

According to the intelligence, there is a battalion of the Qing army on the Gangmen Stone Fort, and under normal circumstances, a battalion of the Green Battalion is about 800 to 1,000 people, but the Qing army must have empty salaries, and there can be a maximum of 500 people on the fort. Moreover, it was shelled by the sea, and it is estimated that the Qing soldiers on the battery did not exceed 400 people.

To the north of the Gangmen Stone Fort, there is a small town called Beigang. This town is usually used by fishermen to trade here, but because of the sea ban, the town has become a dead city, and the once bustling town now has no inhabitants, and only more than 100 Qing soldiers are stationed in it.

If you want to make a surprise attack on the Gangmen Stone Fort, you have to pass through this town.

The Ming army, dressed in the uniform of the Qing soldiers, passed the path in the woods by the sea and appeared outside the town.

"Let me take my men and take down the town." Emperor Hu Dedi stood up and asked for battle.

Cai Dezhong competed with Emperor Hu De: "You are from the special combat team of the Navy Division, this is a land battle, and I should take it." ”

Emperor Hu Dedi retorted: "Today is to annihilate the Tartar Naval Division, this is a matter of our Naval Division's special combat team, and your Continental Division's special combat team is cooperating with us!" ”

The two had a dispute, and Chen Lei did not have absolute command over these two people, so he had to let the two of them draw lots to solve the problem.

In the end, the task of attacking the town was taken away by Emperor Hu De, and he caught a small note with "war" written on it, while Cai Dezhong caught a note with "Hugh" written on it, so he had to watch Emperor Hu Dedi set off with the special combat team of the sailors.

Emperor Hu Dedi led the special combat soldiers wearing Qing army uniforms and took the Qing army commander into the town. When the Qing soldiers inside saw that it was their own people wearing the green camp uniforms, one of the Qing soldiers shouted, "Who are you?" ”

"You answer him! Don't play any tricks on me! Emperor Hu Dedi's sharp knife was pressed against the waist of the Qing army commander, and he lowered his voice and said sternly in the commander's ear.

The Qing army commander replied to Emperor Hu De and what they had taught him: "We are Gao Zhentai's subordinates, and we heard that the Haikou are attacking the fort, and we have rushed to reinforce the naval division." ”

At this time, Gao Jinku and his party were still circling in the mountain, and they couldn't get out of the mountain at all, and the Qing army here didn't know the situation. So the Qing soldier asked for the password again, and after the captured general gave the password, the Qing soldier let go of a way.

"We can go in." The Qing army commander said in a low voice.

Emperor Hu took the prisoners and walked into the town with the special combat soldiers.

The Qing soldier standing outside the gate was still saluting the commander, when Emperor Hu De suddenly attacked, he pulled out his knife like lightning, the knife flashed, and the sharp knife pierced the throat of the Qing soldier.

Qing Bing looked at the green battalion soldier wearing the Qing army uniform in disbelief, covered his neck, and wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout at all, shook twice, and slowly fell to the ground.

Fifty-three members of the Sailor Special Combat Team rushed into the town like tigers descending from the mountain.

"Whoosh" steel spring crossbows shot rows of sharp crossbow arrows, and the unsuspecting Qing soldiers fell in a pool of blood one after another.

After shooting the crossbow arrows, the special combat team members put the crossbow machine on their backs, showed all kinds of weapons, and killed the remnants of the Qing soldiers.

Emperor Hu Dedi waved his Miao knife, slashed and slashed again and again, and hacked all six Qing soldiers in front of him to death like chopping melons and vegetables. The special combat team members in the back entered the crowd of Qing soldiers, slashing, hammering, and stabbing with swords, and after only a while, the Qing soldiers in the town were wiped out.

Because the special combat team moved extremely fast, the unsuspecting Qing soldiers were all killed before they could even send out an alarm signal.

Hood sent a secret message to the outside of the town.

After receiving the code, Chen Lei took the rest of the Ming army and entered the town.

After passing through the town, the Ming army appeared behind the stone fort of Gangmen.

At this time, the Qing soldiers on the fort were not a little defenseless.

In front of the fort, the cannon rumbled, and the cannonballs hit the fort like a torrential rain, and the earth and stones were splashed everywhere. The power of more than 400 naval guns should not be underestimated, the gun positions on the batteries were beaten to the ground, and the Qing soldiers on it had already hidden.

When the Ming army wearing the green battalion Qing soldier uniform climbed the steps and climbed up to the fort, the Qing soldiers on the fort who were dizzy by the naval artillery just glanced casually and saw a group of people wearing Qing army uniforms, and thought that the reinforcements of the green battalion soldiers had arrived, and no one stopped the attacking Ming army at all.

"Up!" Chen Lei raised his hand.

Cai Dezhong and Hu Dedi, two army and navy special operations captains, rushed forward with their own special combat team members first. More than 400 Ming soldiers shouted in the back and rushed up the steps vigorously.

On the fort, the Ming army took out the title of the mouth.

"Kill!" Cai Dezhong and Hu Dedi shouted almost at the same time.

"Kill!" More than 500 Ming soldiers shouted like thunder, brandishing Miao knives and Yanling knives, and slaughtered at the Qing army fort.

Chen Lei took out a firework tube and "banged" into the air to release a bunch of fireworks.

Seeing the fireworks signal released from the battery, Albert gave the order: "Stop shelling!" Get ready to get close to the battery! ”

The surprise attack of the Ming army had already entered the crowd of the Qing army, and more than 100 special combat personnel led by Cai Dezhong and Hu Dedi rushed fiercely, invincible, and blood splashed everywhere the sword light went. More than 100 special combat personnel chopped melons and vegetables, and cut off the heads of the Qing soldiers to the ground.

A Qing soldier raised his bird gun and aimed it at Emperor Hu De and was about to pull the trigger.

"Whoosh" Cai Dezhong, who was quick to move, flicked his fingers, and an iron ball left his fingertips like lightning, like a bullet piercing Qing Bing's forehead, and fiercely chiseled a bloody hole in his head.

The Ming army slaughtered into the crowd of the Qing army, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slashing back and forth, killing the corpses on the fort and bleeding like a river.

The Qing soldiers who resisted were killed, and those who survived surrendered on their knees. In the blink of an eye, the fort was occupied by the Ming army. Of the 486 Qing soldiers on the battery, in addition to the 86 killed by the fleet's shelling, more than 200 were killed by the Ming army who attacked by surprise, and the rest of the Qing soldiers all surrendered.

Immediately after the capture of the battery, the fleet approached the coastline and aimed its guns at the inland sea. Then another group of transport ships came ashore at the North Harbor, and a group of gunners went ashore. Then the gunners went to the Gangmen Stone Fort, took over the cannons dropped by the Qing soldiers, and used the fort guns to target the Qing naval division in the inner harbor to bombard fiercely.

The cannons rumbled, and the condescending shells continued to fall in the inner harbor, and the Qing warships trapped in the harbor were sunk one after another.

The entrance to the sea was blocked, the fort fell into the hands of the Ming army, the Wanzhou Qing army was forced to surrender, and more than 100 large and small warships of the Qing army fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Although the warships of the Qing army were very rubbish, small in tonnage, and weak in firepower, they were also a group of ships, which could be used as transport ships and as troop transport boats on inland rivers, which were still useful. As for the shoddy small cannons on the Qing army's warships, Wang Xinyu couldn't look down on them. Including the Qing artillery of the Gangmen Stone Fort, it was also a batch of very poor quality guns. These cannons will be used by the Ming army as scrap copper and rotten iron to re-forge new cannons.

In the state city of Wanzhou, the Ming army has begun to attack the city.

The drums of war rumbled, and the auxiliaries formed by the captured people slowly advanced towards the city walls, pushing various siege tools.
