Chapter 497: Shipwreck
As soon as the ten Dutch warships came up, they instantly put a lot of pressure on Ye Shaolong, and the ten powerful guns were completely unable to take care of it.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, the turret where Ye Shaolong was standing began to shake violently.
As soon as the Dutch warship came up, it immediately opened fire on the turrets on both sides of the shout, and just now a shell fell not far from Ye Shaolong.
The generals of the two artillery battalions sensed the threat and immediately persuaded Ye Shaolong to evacuate first.
Ye Shaolong's face was gloomy, very reluctant! But in the end, he accepted the request of the two generals and retreated from the turret.
With the escort of the Dutch warships, the Japanese warships immediately began to charge with all their might, and they began to return fire. For a time, the turrets on both sides of the shouting road became the hardest hit area of the enemy's attack.
The turrets made of large stones soon fell apart under the constant bombardment of artillery fire.
The hundreds of artillery battalions stationed there suffered heavy casualties, but the survivors did not have the slightest intention of flinching, and sporadic artillery still sounded. Although they were no longer able to inflict great damage on the enemy troops, they were still more or less unable to move at full speed.
Ye Shaolong retreated to Su Can's musket battalion, and he had just arrived to see the destruction of the turret. With red eyes and clenched fists, Ye Shaolong understood that the Yejiabao army on the turret must have been more than lucky.
Hundreds of men died in the blink of an eye, Ye Shaolong was depressed in his chest, and he hated Stern Haoran and the widows even more!
The turret was finally completely destroyed under the indiscriminate bombardment of the enemy, and there were sporadic cannon sounds just now, which would have completely disappeared.
The enemy was able to drive straight into the docks.
The 3,000 members of the Lin Family Gang led by Lin Biao were still guarding the warships docked on the shore, and all the artillery was unanimous. When he saw the enemy rushing over, Lin Biao gave the order to open fire.
Six warships lined up, nearly 200 artillery pieces, fired at the same time, the power shook the earth.
The three enemy warships that bore the brunt of the attack were destroyed in an instant, causing a lot of confusion to the enemy fleet.
Stern Haoran and Princess Wako, the two of them rarely worked together, and without any hesitation, they gave a death order, asking the remaining dozen or so warships to continue to rush up, and began to fight back.
Whether it was Stern Haoran or the princess of the Wako, they couldn't take care of the six warships anymore. Nearly ten of the twenty attacking warships had been damaged, and even if they could get back six warships, they would still suffer a big loss.
What's more, it was not easy to rush to the dock, and if you still take into account the warship at this time, you will inevitably suffer a bigger blow.
With the order of the enemy general, the enemy troops began to continue to advance under artillery fire and began to return fire one after another.
In an instant, the sound of cannons resounded throughout the dock, and the billowing black smoke directly covered the sky of the entire dock.
The six warships of the Yejiapu army began to be hit one after another, and with the impact of the enemy forces who were not afraid of death, the casualties of the Yejiabao army continued to expand.
Su Can saw it in the rear and scolded loudly, and asked Ye Shaolong more than once to let him bring people to kill him to help Lin Biao and them defend.
Ye Shaolong had a calm face, and didn't say a word from beginning to end, making Su Can so anxious that he almost pulled out a knife to his neck.
Judging from the current battle situation, Lin Biao and his team were already bound to lose, and the vanguard of the enemy army began to stabilize and gain the upper hand after losing six warships.
Although none of Lin Biao's remaining battleships were sunk, all of them were torn apart by enemy fire. The sound of the guns on the warship also became sparse, and it was clear that the officers and men on the warship must have suffered heavy casualties.
"Brother Su, pass my order and let Lin Biao and them all evacuate immediately." Ye Shaolong finally spoke.
"What?" Su Can was taken aback, his face full of disbelief.
Lin Biao was the last line of defense, and once he withdrew, the enemy would have nothing to block. At that time, they will be able to drive straight in, and it will also herald the official start of the landing battle.
Originally, the landing battle was the biggest killer weapon of the Yejiabao army, but the problem was that the reinforcements behind had not yet arrived. Now all the soldiers in Tianjin City add up to less than 10,000 people.
In such a situation, it is difficult to be sure that he can withstand the attack of the enemy army, and this is where Su Can's difference comes from!
Ye Shaolong grimaced, suddenly turned around and yelled at Su Can: "Pass my order, immediately let Lin Biao and them all evacuate, before leaving, detonate all the ammunition on the ship, and blow up all the warships for me." ”
Looking at Ye Shaolong, who was like a madman, Su Can didn't dare to say anything more this time, and immediately went down to do things according to Ye Shaolong's instructions.
The news reached Lin Biao as quickly as possible, and when he learned of Ye Shaolong's plan, Lin Biao did not hesitate at all.
quickly ordered the evacuation, and then moved all the ammunition to the deck according to Ye Shaolong's instructions. And Lin Biao kept a little more eye, and did not detonate it immediately after retreating, but left two people on each ship.
Those who remained were sacrificed voluntarily, and when the enemy rushed up, they would detonate all the explosives to achieve the maximum damage to the enemy.
With Lin Biao's withdrawal, the enemy soon found that the Yejiapu army had no resistance, and even the sporadic artillery fire had stopped.
More sharp-eyed people had already seen Lin Biao and their withdrawal from the warship, and at this moment, the enemy army began to advance at full speed.
There were only five scarred battleships left, and the enemy had no more scruples, and victory was already in sight. The enemy drove the speed of the warship to the limit and rushed directly at the six warships docked on the shore.
Lin Biao took the remaining subordinates of less than 1,500 people and retreated to Ye Shaolong's location. Ye Shaolong didn't see the warship explode, he frowned, and asked Lin Biao viciously: "Why weren't those warships blown up?" ”
A hint of cruelty appeared on Lin Biao's face: "Don't worry, Dashuai, you'll know later." ”
At this time, it can already be seen that the enemy troops have come into contact with the docked warships, and a large number of enemy troops have rushed up one after another.
Ye Shaolong was furious, he didn't know Lin Biao's arrangement, he would have thought that he had let the enemy land smoothly.
However, just as he was about to scold Lin Biao for being confused again, the six warships that were about to be occupied by the enemy suddenly exploded violently.
The flames that burst into the sky soon hit huge mushroom clouds in the air, and the six warships exploded almost at the same time, a strong shock wave.
Even Ye Shaolong and the others, who were three miles away, could no longer stand upright, and were overturned to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion.
Wait until everyone stands up in disgrace and looks at the dock again. However, it was found that the entire dock had long been turned into ruins, and the six warships and the five warships that the enemy had just docked were all surrounded by the skyrocketing fire.
And the entire dock has been destroyed, except for the wreckage of eleven warships, no ships can be docked anymore!
