The first appearance of artillery in the entire Northern Song Dynasty continent was carried out in the form of slaughter, and the hot weapons were hung with cold weapons from the very beginning, and Mongolia, which was once the pinnacle of cold weapons, was beaten in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's firearms, not to mention the navy, which was directly a firearm in a mature state.

From 1890 to 1914, not to mention that it was only more than 20 years, for firearms, the development was very terrible.

Take the Beiyang Army, the capital ship Dingzhen No. 2, at that time, in the inferior state, it was already the world's first-class ship, otherwise, the two ships would not have pressed Japan for 10 years, and even to a certain extent, sent the Qing Dynasty to the ranks of the world's naval powers.

However, 20 years later, in the early stage of World War I, they may not be able to defeat even the most ordinary destroyers, let alone the dreadnought class and the more powerful super dreadnought that left all battleships behind.

That is the result of the accumulation of technology and foundation to a certain extent, stimulated by war and military competition, after the overdevelopment, and the current fixed navy, the level of this artillery, at most is the level around 1850.

It has jumped for 800 years, and it is aimed at the southern natives who are not even equipped with the Northern Song Dynasty, and these people even captured their swords from the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, let alone such hot weapons.

The most terrifying thing is that the rate of fire of this artillery, after rigorous training, coupled with the use of a large amount of smokeless gunpowder, the rate of fire of the artillery can reach twice a minute, compared with the rapid-fire guns of later generations, it is not a little bit worse, but in this era, it is extremely terrifying.

Nearly 900 guns, which can be aimed at the river and send out attacking artillery, in just 10 minutes, 18,000 shots were completed, and the artillery fire really appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, and more than thousands of canoes and bamboo rafts were searched for heavy losses under the direct and indirect attacks of artillery.

The direct attack, of course, hits, and the indirect attack is due to the non-stop iron ball, the explosion pushes the entire water surface, and the waves are extremely turbulent.

Such waves do not have much impact on the big ships of the Dinghai Navy, more than 12,000 materials, and the ships with full loads almost exceed 15,000 materials, and under the conditions of adapting to high sea conditions, not to mention this little wave, even if this wave is several times higher than now, don't think about having an impact.

However, for canoes, even if they are ordinary on the river, the slightest wind and waves are easy to capsize, not to mention such large waves, most of which are hit in the water.

A terrible scene, countless smashed canoes, a large number of dead and wounded, rivers of blood, tens of thousands of people who were pinned on high hopes, and the strong men who wanted to attack the city of Guangzhou were reduced to nothing.

Above the city of Guangzhou, all the Northern Song Dynasty officials who saw all this were also dumbfounded, especially Wang Kai and Zhong Jian, who listened to Wang Shining's words, these may be warships, and they were more or less disapproving.

According to Zhigao's deployment, dozens of ships, even if they are all big ships, what is the use, not to mention anything else, thousands of canoes, it is difficult to deal with.

This thought was just a slight flicker in their hearts, and the reality gave them an ear, how long did it take, and if there was a stick of incense, the entire water surface would be cleaned up.

Next to him, Wang Shining, who also saw the result of this battle, was like crazy, and kept muttering, impossible, shouldn't have such great power, how did he do it.

As a maritime general, Wang Shining is quite obsessed with water warfare, and he is already thinking about how to improve the efficiency of water warfare.

Compared with the mentality of Guangzhou City, Yi Zhigao is another mentality, the one who can be sent out and attack the Guangzhou Water Gate by canoe will not be his henchmen, but they are also strong and important troops, more than 10,000, just such a loss, for him, the blow is also very big.

Yi Zhigao didn't notice that after clearing the canoe a little, the ship began to move forward, towards the shore.

The city of Guangzhou straddles the Pearl River, and naturally, Yi Zhigao also put the barracks on the bank of the Pearl River in order to besiege it, although it is not close to the bank, but it is less than 2 miles from the bank, that is, his military camp is also within the scope of the attack.

The lack of understanding of warships, let alone the power of artillery, made Yi Zhigao make a wrong judgment, and the warships of the Navy were designated as close to each other.

When dozens of warships lined up, just opposite the barracks of Yizhigao, the smarter people seemed to see the danger.

The ship is not only capable of attacking the water, but the weapon of the ship seems to be long-range, so it won't attack the barracks, right?

It's a crazy idea, and it's hard to think of, only some smart people, or those with big brains, would think of it, but it's too late.

Before, it was only 8 ships that issued shells, with a total of less than 900 guns, but now, almost all the warships are adjusted in place, and at least 80% of the artillery can be aimed at this military camp on the shore, so everything is doomed.

The flag of the attack was raised again, and countless gunners began to reload, and then opened fire freely, this time, the whole process lasted two sticks of incense, and the navy issued a total of 100,000 shells.

Among them, not all of them are solid, and there are also some flowering and blasting shells, even if they are not very powerful shells like the current Dinghai Navy, hitting the barracks in the barracks, without air defense and anti-artillery holes, may be strong enough to block the attack of the era of cold weapons, but in the face of the era of hot weapons, the terrible power of artillery, the final result is defeat.

After two incense sticks, the whole camp burst into flames, and the camp with at least 50,000 troops was in shambles, except for some outside, or saw the opportunity earlier, barely escaped from the camp, and survived, at least more than 20,000 people were smashed into the camp, either killed by shells or burned to death.

In less than half an hour, Yizhi Gaobu lost more than 30,000 people, and I don't know how many people were wounded, it was difficult to attack the city of Guangzhou, and after receiving terrible reinforcements, it was even stronger, and there was almost no possibility of attacking it.

In the face of the attack of thermal weapons, he was all a loophole, a strong barracks, so that after being attacked by artillery, the personnel could not evacuate quickly, and the strong barracks that were supposed to protect them became a cage that imprisoned them, even if they were either under the artillery and shrapnel, or they were stoned to death by the flames and the east-west direction of the barracks.

Yi Zhigao wanted to cry without tears, and the team that was easy to pull up, if it was only the 10,000 people lost in the canoe, it was not considered a broken body and bones, and the camp died, but they were all elites, and the most elite more than 30,000 people, at least more than half died, which was a huge blow to him.

What is the origin of these ships, they are so powerful, so silent, they have killed so many of his men.

On the city of Guangzhou, Wang Kai and Zhong Jian cried with joy, the character of the two of them is not very good, and the level is not very good, but the basic judgment ability is still there, the 10,000 people in the canoe are at most a small setback, but the camp is a heavy setback, look at it casually, at least it is a loss of tens of thousands, even if it is Yi Zhigao can save it, I am afraid there is no way to persevere, and retreating is the only way out.

It's really the feeling of hell and heaven, when he saw the ship, his first feeling was that he was saved, as long as he used it well, maybe he could finally escape and ascend to heaven under the siege of 100,000 enemy troops, but no one thought that in less than half an hour, the siege had been lifted, and the ship that seemed to have no effect at all was so powerful.

Zhong Jian is a civil official, he only thinks about solving the current problems, but Wang Kai is a military attaché, the highest general in the whole Guangzhou, others to break the siege, he has no credit, the most important thing is that he sees the strength of this ship.

Yi Zhigao is not very strong, but the number of these warships of the Dinghai Navy is not very large, it is just the appearance of dozens of ships, there is such a great power, tens of thousands of people's camp, it is so easy to kill, this Dinghai, why can it master such a strong force, the most important thing is that according to time, this should not be sent from the Privy Council, but the Dinghai Navy itself to do it, there are some problems with this procedure.

Wang Kai, a Guangzhou magistrate, has no access to the top at all, and even a governor like Zhong Jian will not know Zhao Xin's identity, so they naturally think about it, and they may guess worse in their hearts.

No matter what they think, Sun Ji has been playing well, starting from going to the Ryukyus, that is, at the beginning, defeating those natives, there was a war, and the back, almost like a military parade, was not as hearty as it is now.

After the naval guns showed their power, he did not relax, and directly ordered the ships behind him to start moving forward and docking in front.

In order to prepare for this battle, the Ding Navy collected almost all the detailed data and maps of Guangzhou City, as well as Guangnan.

On land, from Taiwan to Guangzhou, the distance of 1,700 miles, even if the speed of the warship is relatively fast, more than 800 miles a day, it is almost 2 days.

During these two days, Sun Ji did not waste any time, and he was always studying the map.

Guangnan didn't get much news, but he knew that Yizhigao had an army of 100,000 and was heading towards Guangzhou, whether it was besieged, and where it was besieged, I don't know.

But an excellent military commander can speculate some things according to what he knows in front of him, and he can almost know some things, Sun Ji has set a total of 3 strategies, and now the best strategy has been completed.

Cleared out a large number of the living forces of Izhiko, and sent their rout to one side.

The speed at which men run, especially under the rout, is not very fast, as long as the ships can go around and lay down the army 30 miles ahead, they can already intercept them.

Whether it was Yi Zhigao who was defeated, or the Northern Song Dynasty officials who were immersed in the excitement after the rescue in Guangzhou City, they would never have thought that in Sun Ji's heart, they would be so bold that after the initial defeat of Yi Zhigao, they were actually ready to be completely annihilated, and the troops used were only 1,200 people.

This is the difference between cold weapons and hot weapons, in the era of cold weapons, the elite is there, that is all cavalry, the mobility and speed of cavalry, can be used to deal with a large number of small amounts, but this large number also has a degree.

Even if Li Tang's elite Xuanjia cavalry used to use a scale of 1,000 people against 70,000, it must also use a variety of tactics, for example, division and encirclement, a little bit of dealing, really head-on confrontation, the loss must be Xuanjia.

However, thermal weapons directly let go of this kind of flexible mobility, and they just did it, and on the premise of arranging positions and having artillery and a large number of firearms, it was a process of lining up to shoot, and this process would not be very long.

Things developed as Sun Ji expected, even if the sail was on the surface of the Pearl River, with the help of auxiliary devices, it could move faster, much faster than people's feet, and when it crossed 10 miles, at the key point, put down a battalion of the army, and guarded it.

The elite of this battalion also used the fastest speed to build a small position, which happened to block the retreat of Yi Zhigao, and this location, quite far from the city of Guangzhou, happened to have a hill, blocking the view, so that it could be attacked more unscrupulously, without worry, using some unconventional means, it would be noticed by the officials of Guangzhou.

From the beginning of the dispatch of troops, the Dinghai Navy also knew that secrets could not be kept, at least, warships and artillery would be leaked, but the basic tactics, muskets, and the combination of artillery and muskets were still not leaked.

More than an hour later, when Yi Zhigao was about to move in with the rout that was easy to retract, but in a critical place, he encountered a small group of Song troops, even after continuous losses, under Yi Zhigao's hands, there were only about 60,000 people, but more than a thousand Song troops, can they resist them?

Not to mention 60,000 routs, even if it was 60,000 elite heavy cavalry, facing the defensive force of completing the position and assisting 5 ships and more than 120 heavy artillery, he didn't want to pass easily.

Half an hour later, on the battlefield full of blood and fire, at least 15,000 people fell again, and the rest of the people, except for 10,000 routs, the others surrendered, the casualties were heavy, and the speed of surrender was faster, but there was still a disadvantage in the small number, Yi Zhigao and the elite men, they had to run, and they couldn't stop it, they could only watch them leave, and they didn't capture Yi Zhigao, which was a little regrettable.

A war that had a huge momentum, in history, had affected the entire south, and lasted until the year of the emperor, just like that, it only took half a morning to solve it, and even the infantry who got off the ship had the opportunity to bury the pot to cook, which was very comfortable.
