Chapter 126 Micromanipulation Master Zheng Kezang (please subscribe!)

The huge Guangdong Fleet passed through the Qiongzhou Strait, aiming directly at Haikou Pu.

The main force of the Qiongzhou Navy was anchored in Haikou Pu.

Qiongzhou Fucheng and Qionglvying are both near Haikou Pu.

As long as the Guangdong Fleet captures Haikou Pu, there will be no danger for Qiongzhou Prefecture to defend.

Eight thousand soldiers from the First Town of the Guards Army will board transport ships and land in Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Zheng Kezang's flagship Dongning plywood boat, with full sails, took advantage of the wind and headed towards Lingao County.

Zheng Kezang stood on the deck. He patted a particularly smooth long-barreled artillery piece on the deck.

"This is the 12-pound Polu 1 long-barreled gun specially manufactured by the Dongning Manufacturing Administration for our expedition." Zheng Kezang said to Liu Guoxuan and others.

The workmanship is indeed very sophisticated, and compared to the old clay mold-cast cannons, its appearance alone is way ahead of its time.

"fire."

The ending is obvious, even further!

If two rounds don't work, just fire a few more rounds, and you can always knock down the small fort on the opposite side.

"Inform the transport ship where the Guards are located to land ashore!" Liu Guoxuan ordered cheerfully.

They stepped on the ground and felt at ease.

He raised several flags.

Liu Guoxuan issued an order and ordered the soldiers to come to the main mast of the Dongning.

Today, Zheng Kezang stood next to the Polu Cannon with great interest. He wanted to see how effective the cannon was in actual combat.

"Well done, brothers, keep adjusting the angle of the artillery, we will definitely be able to destroy the fort." Worried about the nervousness of the gunners, Zheng Kezang encouraged him.

This battle comes and goes quickly!

After three-quarters of an hour, the Dongning's main mast signaled that the war was over and a complete victory had been achieved.

There are more than ten large and medium-sized warships of the Qiongzhou Navy of the Qing Dynasty parked in Haikou Pu, most of the force.

The advantage is that the cost of shells is now low.

Unfortunately, the shell exploded not far from the fort and did not hit the fort.

After the artillery was fully adjusted, the main gunner reported to Zheng Kezang: "The Polu artillery has been aimed at the enemy fort, please give instructions!"

Soon, the city wall of Qiongzhou Prefecture was attacked by a large number of Guards artillery. Stone chips flew across the wall entrance, and many artillery shells entered the city, causing smoke and dust to billow.

The main gunner who operated the Polu cannon this time was very experienced. In order to help him shoot more accurately, Zheng Kezang also lent him a telescope.

A large number of wounded soldiers on the city wall kept wailing. After several rounds of artillery fire, almost all of them had broken limbs and legs, and the ground was covered with pools of blood.

The gunners are also constantly adjusting the muzzle according to the main gunner's orders.

"My feet..."

The main gunner of the Navy constantly observed the position of the fort through a telescope, and based on his knowledge at Dongning Military Academy, he constantly told other gunners the parameters that needed to be adjusted.

Under the firepower suppression of the Guangdong Fleet, the Qiongzhou Navy had no choice.

The Qiongzhou Strait was very narrow, so the Guangdong Fleet dispatched its entire force and arrived outside Haikou Pu.

Under the protection of the Guangdong Fleet, the transport fleet sailed into Haikou Pu.

Of course, the premise is that the number of artillery pieces is about the same.

It’s not that the Qing soldiers have no backbone, the Qing soldiers here only have more than ten sailing ships, and they use their heads to fight against the well-prepared Guangdong Fleet on the opposite side!

This is a wise choice. Haikou Pu has been surrounded and boarding the ship is a dead end.

This is the consequence of abandoning coastal defense. There will be no combat effectiveness at all. Now the era of Taqing has arrived when just a few ships can conquer its coast!

Although this battle did not have much gold content, Liu Guoxuan was still ecstatic. It was a refreshing naval battle.

Fortunately, I didn't cause trouble with Feng Xifan at the beginning, otherwise it would have been bad.

A huge explosion sounded, and two Hongyi cannons were blown into the sky with one shot.

After Pan Aqiang gathered his troops, he led eight thousand soldiers to attack Qiongzhou Fucheng.

"Help……"

On the shore of Haikou Port, there are five huge Hongyi cannons.

"boom!"

"All warships, aim at the Qing warships, clear the Haikou harbor forts, shoot!"

Other warships also kept firing, and soon, a shell from a 12-pounder gun hit the fort in the middle.

In this era, the navy issued orders through semaphores on the mast of the flagship, so the flagship could not fall.

Upon hearing this, the gunner immediately loaded the shells, and the main gunner lit the fire behind the butt of the Polu cannon.

Nowadays, the Ming and Zheng Dynasties use smoothbore cannons. Generally, the caliber of these cannons is not very large, except for short and heavy cannons, which are a little special.

However, the projectiles fired by their Hongyi cannon were obviously not accurate, and the number was small, so they fell directly into the sea, causing splashes of water.

"They still have a long way to go. The Polu 1 type is nowhere to be seen!" Zheng Kezang is actually very demanding. In the future, he wants them to develop mortars and rifled guns, especially rifled guns.

The entire city wall was crumbling. How could the Qing army in Qiongzhou Prefecture have ever seen such a battle?

They were just here to hang out in Qiongzhou Prefecture. The sky was high and the Emperor was far away. Even though pirates often visited them, everyone was just pretending and fighting a tacit understanding. They had never experienced such a battle before.

However, they are very close to the target, which shows that these gunners are doing a good job!

"Brothers, move the muzzle half an inch to the left." Zheng Kezang couldn't help but commanded as he felt like there were ants crawling on his body without micromanipulation.

There is no danger to defend Qiongzhou Prefecture, only a lonely city wall.

Under the suppression of the firepower of hundreds of warships in the Guangdong Fleet, the Qing soldiers also realized that the enemy in front of them was not something they could deal with. Soon, they abandoned the parked warships and forts, and walked away before the enemy came ashore.

.

On the Dongning, the 12-pounder Polu cannon continued to roar, and the fort at Haikoupu finally realized that something was wrong and began to fight back.

Soon, the Guangdong Fleet discovered that the fort at Haikou Pu had lost its sound.

At this time, Daotai Huang Guocai and the prefect Niu Tiansu had already fled. After cleaning up the rubbish in the mansion, they abandoned the city and fled.

Seeing such a situation, many Qing soldiers could not help but tremble in their hands and feet, and many even peed their pants. This war was so cruel.

Soon, Pan Aqiang jumped off the transport ship with his soldiers.

The forts on the shore can fire very accurately. If the battleships and the forts on the shore shoot at each other at the same range, it will be very disadvantageous.

"The craftsmanship of Dongning General Manufacturing Bureau is getting better and better. No wonder the king was so biased towards craftsmen before and even established a craftsman system for them." Liu Guoxuan now understands more and more what Zheng Kezang did before.

With the huge energy of the sugar gunpowder, the shells fired by the Polu cannon quickly flew towards the Haikou Pu Fort.

Use a telescope to observe the situation in Haikou Pu.

They are just marginal figures among Tatar officials. They have all come to Qiongzhou, so what room for improvement is there?

Your own life is still important. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.

"Two adults, why did you abandon the city and ignore it?" Some young officials also asked.

Everyone is running away, why are you pretending to be noble? If you have the guts, don't go together, Niu Tiansu thought in his heart.

Daotai Huang Guocai, who had a larger structure, said helplessly: "The pirates of the Ming Dynasty have sharp artillery, and Qiongzhou Prefecture is a dead place. It is not a good strategy for us to defend the enemy in a hurry. We can wait until we retreat to other counties, collect the troops on the island, and then raise our troops to counterattack."

A glimmer of hope."

Suddenly, the sound of the roar of artillery came closer. Several people immediately got on the carriage and walked out of the south city gate, which was not surrounded. They disappeared after a cup of tea!
