Chapter 406: To go to war or to die

Shajiao Fort, today's Shajiao Fort is not the first gateway of Guangdong in later generations, and the fort with more than 30 large and small cannons in later generations will not be built until the fifth year of Jiaqing.

Now, there are only ten old Hongyi cannons in the entire Shajiao Fort, and the firing direction and angle cannot be adjusted.

In less than half an hour after the battle began, the garrison of the Shajiao Fort was killed, and more than 100 officers and men under his command were wounded.

Let's be honest, they didn't break up directly in this heavy artillery fire, even if they were worthy of people.

"Hit! Hit your motherfucker! Those water ducks shrank in the port and didn't go out, and forced Lao Tzu to let these small cannons go to fight against other people's red-haired boats, Nima's, when knocking bamboo poles, he didn't give Lao Tzu a silver or two, and let Lao Tzu come to the top when he died, and your mother simply took a knife and killed Lao Tzu! ”

Mr. Liu, whose forehead was blurred by the splashing stones, hid behind a big stone and cursed, and dozens of soldiers surrounded Mr. Liu, nodding like a chicken pecking rice.

The old-fashioned artillery of their Shajiao Fort couldn't reach the big ships on the ocean at all, and they were completely passively beaten, so as soon as the garrison died, they all shrank behind the fort, anyway, one or two handfuls of silver a month, none of them were rare.

But fortunately for them, in this era, it is not easy for a warship to inflict a large number of casualties on the shore batteries in naval battles, unless you have the skills of the British Navy and the Dutch Navy, otherwise, it is a dream to use the ship's cannons to destroy all the batteries on the shore.

In particular, although it has been seven or eight years since the establishment of the Navy of the Renaissance Army, it is still in the most basic stage.

can put out several formations, know how to seize the upper hand, know how to intersperse and divide, although the technology is average, and can also drive a galleon, but to carry out a beach landing with sea and land cooperation, then look up to them.

In fact, even if this is a lot of progress, it is not easy for the navy, which is really starting from scratch, to drive the galleon away!

The revival navy can progress so quickly, firstly, there are still some European sailors and navies in the revival navy, and secondly, fortunately, King Ye has already mixed in to open the sea grasshoppers before he crosses.

Tactically speaking, the sea grasshopper of the coast guard in later generations is somewhat related to the current naval warfare, so he still put forward a lot of good opinions, especially on the training and tactics of sailors, if he was playing with radar and missiles on 05x before he crossed, then he would have to be blind.

But in any case, in this era, sailing battleships could not challenge the shore defense batteries.

The undulations of the sea are very much affected by the accuracy, but if you get close, the battleship will probably not hit the battery with ten shots, and it is likely that the battery will not hit you with one shot.

Moreover, the battleships of this era still used pit smoothbore guns, and the trajectory was also relatively confusing, so it was necessary to use the number and pulling distance to make up for the accuracy.

Therefore, the navy in this era played either to cover the landing of the army with the guns on the battleships to seize the batteries, or to rush into the harbor and sink the opposing warships in a wave at high tide.

On the Dajiao Fort, the Guangdong Navy Counselor General Mai Tingshen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, no more protruding than the Shajiao Fort, and would inevitably withstand the artillery fire of the opponent's fleet.

The reason why it has not been hit by artillery is because in the waters in front of the Big Horn Battery, there are actually a lot of underwater obstacles such as wooden plaques, hidden piles, and iron chains, and the Cochin Fleet will not be able to attack the Big Horn Battery if it does not clear these underwater obstacles.

Tactically perfect, because when the enemy ship clears the obstacles, it will inevitably be bombarded by the Bighorn battery, and if the obstacles are not cleared, they will not be able to get close, but this reference for tactical design is very tricky.

It was still designed according to the standards of the Ming and Zheng naval battles between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Taiwan, because the enemy in the eyes of my Qing Dynasty was not the Taixi people, but the last Han armed forces, Dongning Zhu Chenggong and Zhu Jin father and son, but more than a hundred years have passed since that era, and now it has long been backward!

The range of their cannons is far above the Big Horn Battery, and they can calmly use their cannons to pull out wooden plaques and hidden stakes one by one.

When the channel is cleared, the dozen or so guns of the Big Horn Fort will fight with others, and the largest ship will have more than 70 cannons.

Thinking of this, General Mai Shen grabbed a Goshha, "Go, tell Shen Junmen, let the fleet with the sailors rush out from near Jiaomen, the artillery of the big ship is sharp, I'm afraid that the Shajiao Fort will hold on for less than a while!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Mai Tingshen to remind Shen Xuan that Shen Xuan has already made a plan, although the attacking Jiaozhi ships are strong and sharp, but after all, they can't grasp the situation of the entire Pearl River Estuary.

On the contrary, the sailors of the Guangdong Navy Division are all local snakes who have settled here for more than 100 years, and there must be a way to sail the sailors and warships out of the port.

Don't have more, as long as the dozen or so ships near the Humen Fortress are sent out, the essence of the Guangdong Sailors can be preserved, and with them, the Jiaozhi Sailors can't act at will.

If the big ships of the Guangdong Naval Division, the Fujian Naval Division, and even the Zhejiang Naval Division can be mobilized, they can still rely on shore batteries for coastal defense.

However, if the Guangdong Navy Division and the Fujian Navy Division were broken by each other, then the entire southeast coastal defense would be gone, and the fleet of Jiaozhi could arbitrarily choose the place to land.

They can not only come to block the Pearl River estuary, but also go up to block the Min River, and even harass Jiangnan, Shandong, and even Dagukou.

However, Shen Xuan thought well, but the officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Navy Division under his command didn't give him face!

Humen Fortress, the Humen Battalion of the Sailor Division, as soon as I heard that Shen Junmen was going to take them out to fight to the death with the Jiaozhi big ship outside, this time it exploded!

If you want to say which soldier is the richest in the whole of Guangdong? No battalion leader dares to say that he is richer than the Humen Camp and the Dapeng Zuo Camp on Lantau Island!

Because the two places just hold the throat from the sea into the mouth of the Pearl River, smugglers and opium sellers do not pay tribute to the old men of the green camp in the Humen camp and the Dapeng left camp, can you be let in?

Therefore, this Dapeng Zuoying and Humen Camp are the fastest places in the whole of Guangdong, no, it should be said that the whole Daqing Green Camp has the fastest money!

Even if there is an ordinary green battalion soldier here, which one is not worth a few thousand taels? A soldier who looks at an ordinary green battalion is likely to have a few rooms for a concubine, and with such a net worth, you let them go out and fight to the death with the big ship of Jiaozhi? Capable people?

It was just after Shen Junmen's order was issued, and I didn't know who stabbed him out, and the soldiers hadn't assembled yet, and the families of the sailors and soldiers from all directions came all over the mountains, and the cries of dragging their families shook the sky, and a few old, spicy and bold old women even lay directly at the gate of the camp and refused to get up!

These old ladies speak the Guangzhou vernacular, scolding people endlessly, and their firepower output can catch up with the Gatling at full speed.

Shen Junmen's Goshha is a native of Ningbo, Zhejiang, and he can't understand what these old women in Guangdong are talking about at all, so he can only judge from their actions of pointing to the sky and the earth, and he definitely didn't say anything good.

Similarly, the incomprehensible Ningbo dialect of the Goshha of Shen Junmen is also like a heavenly language for the Cantonese people, and the chickens and ducks on both sides have been talking for a long time, and no one knows what the other party is saying.

Originally, there was a local green battalion leader who followed these Goshha who could always translate and translate, but when this boss saw the posture at the camp gate, he had already slipped away!

Why is he also from the Humen battalion, and he doesn't want to die, the ship of the Guangdong Navy Division is in disrepair, and he still wants to fight to the death when he drives to the sea? Almost to death!

As the sun gradually rose, the families of the soldiers of the green battalion guarding the fort, who had no family to go out to fight, also gathered around, women cried, old people cried, children cried, splashed and rolled in dust, and even some of the sailors who had already assembled began to wipe their tears.

Shen Junmen, who quietly hid in Goshha and did not show up, looked at all this in despair, knowing, understanding that this was the Green Battalion soldiers, I didn't know, I thought it was a collective to send to death, although there is indeed an element of death, but this Guangdong sailor is also outrageous!

This is blatant disobedience, how many heads do they have to cut off?

If he Shen Junmen was not a new official, he could suppress them with his prestige, but he has only been in office for four months, and he hasn't even recognized all the people, so why should this vote listen to him?

"Second uncle! I can't count on these wastes, I'm afraid there will be a big problem if I force them out, I have to find Deputy General Liu of the Humen Battalion quickly, otherwise this soldier will definitely not be able to move! ”

Shen Junmen's nephew whispered to Shen Junmen, who was hidden in the crowd, that Deputy General Liu of the Humen Battalion had disappeared since the start of the fight, and only by finding him could he move the people of the Humen Battalion, and if he was forcibly transferred, I am afraid that he would mutiny!
