Chapter 411: The Musket Battalion is mighty
The Japanese sent five captured Qing ships as a test to test the captain, and then ordered them to sail straight into the port of Tianjin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The small ships of the Qing Dynasty have a tiger squat cannon placed in the bow and stern, which has limited power and a very short range, only about 200 meters, which is still the range of solid bullets, if it is replaced by a scattered bomb, then within 100 meters is the farthest range.
However, the turret cannon placed by the Yejiabao army at a high place has a range of 500 meters, and the shells are modified explosive shells. With an old-fashioned wooden ship like the Qing Dynasty, if a cannonball hits the vital point, the ship can sink directly.
The five Great Qing Landing Ships approached at a very fast speed, and in a short time they were already within the range of the Yejiabao Army's artillery. The brothers of the artillery battalion had already aimed at their respective targets, and now as long as Ye Shaolong gave an order, they would definitely be able to sink these five small boats in an instant.
It's a pity that until the five boats approached two hundred meters, Ye Shaolong still didn't give the order to open fire, but continued to stare at it without opening his mouth.
When the ship approached the pier to a hundred and fifty meters, they finally lit the cannon, and the muzzles of the five ships spewed flames and black smoke at the same time, and five solid bullets blasted towards the turrets on both sides.
"Bang ......"
The mediocre solid shells did not pose any threat to the fortified turrets at all, and the shells smashed on the hard granite stones, only splashing some stone chips.
The corners of Ye Shaolong's mouth rose slightly, but he still didn't give the order to fire back. The five large landing ships soon approached a hundred meters, and the second shelling came again, but even at a distance of 100 meters, the result was the same as that of 150 meters, and the shells only smashed stone chips, and still did not have any impact on the turret.
When the five ships approached fifty meters, the cannon did not sound, but the sails began to be lowered, and the speed of progress began to slow down. Apparently the Woko are ready to start landing!
All this was as Ye Shaolong expected, and when the Japanese were not resisted, they were about to land directly.
"Brother Su, it's time for your musket battalion to behave, remember, let them go ashore completely before hitting with muskets, and make sure that those five ships must be intact." There was a sneer embedded in the corner of Ye Shaolong's mouth.
"Rest assured, if these people dare to come ashore, they will not return." After speaking, Su Can turned around and left the turret, obviously going down to supervise the army in person.
The five large landing ships soon docked, and there were no other ships on the empty dock, which brought great convenience to the five ships. The five ships, which had almost rushed straight in, had completely docked after a slight collision, after which the infantry on board, driven by the Japanese invaders, began to land one after another.
Su Can had already taken two thousand soldiers from the musket battalion to ambush behind some miscellaneous objects, calmly waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
In the group of Japanese fleets, the princess had been observing with binoculars in her hand, and when she saw that the five ships had landed smoothly without any resistance, she suddenly had a bad premonition. But for a while, she couldn't think of anything wrong, in her mind, the other party was just bad, there would never be even a cannon, the ship approached and didn't see them firing the cannon, but everyone began to land and didn't see any movement, this thing revealed strangeness, which made her suspicious.
And just when more than 1,000 people from the Japanese and Qing Dynasty surrendered to the shore, Su Can finally waited for the opportunity and immediately ordered the whole army to advance and shoot freely.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Two thousand musket battalion soldiers and two thousand muskets began to shoot mercilessly at a distance of less than 100 meters towards the assembled Qing surrender army.
From the time the first gunshot rang out, it lasted for more than two dozen breaths, and the gunfire never stopped. More than 1,000 soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and a small number of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another, screaming, screaming, crying and gunfire were connected, and the blood instantly stained the sea water on the coast red.
After three rounds of shooting, Su Can ordered the whole army to stop shooting, and after the smoke cleared, it could be seen that there were more than 1,000 people standing in confusion just now, but there were less than ten people still standing at this moment.
The ten people who survived were all Japanese robbers, and I saw that they were all pulling two Qing troops in front of them. When the gunfire stopped, they kicked away the corpse of the Qing army that had been shot into a sieve at the same time, drew the katana at their waists, and rushed towards the Yejiabao army with a shout.
Su Can's eyes flashed, and a hideous look appeared on his face, and he waved the order flag in his hand fiercely. At the same time, the gunshots rang out, and the bodies of the ten fierce and fearless Japanese invaders rushed forward at the same time, and then the blood of their whole bodies soared, and they fell to the ground on their backs and died.
So far, not a single fish of more than 1,000 people has escaped the net, and all of them have died on the coast, and even the two of them have not had time to fight back.
Su Can didn't even step forward to check, and immediately waved the order flag again, and the two thousand soldiers of the musket battalion quickly retreated to the hidden location.
All this happened very quickly, the Yejiabao army showed extremely high discipline and did the order to stop, Ye Shaolong could see clearly from the turret, he was very satisfied with this.
However, the Wako on the sea felt something else, especially the princess, who still had a look of shock on her face at the moment.
The strength of the Yejiabao army was obviously beyond her expectations, and such an army was indeed terrifying. It also made the princess cancel such thoughts about the landing battle.
Fortunately, she has another big murderous aura, five steel warships, and more than 100 red-coated cannons, which are enough to raze the entire dock to the ground.
Although this would have wasted a lot of ammunition, the scene had left the princess with no choice. Then she ordered the whole army to assault!
"Sakata-kun!" The princess suddenly drank coldly.
"The subordinates are here."
"Give you two warships to make way for the great army, and raze the turrets on the high ground on either side of the dock. If you can't do it, you can end it yourself, and this princess will not raise useless people. The corners of the princess's mouth were hideous, and she coldly commanded Sakata for a day.
The latter's face changed continuously, and it was almost impossible for two warships alone to raze the turrets on the high ground on both sides. Even if the Yejiabao army really doesn't fight back, let him fight enough, it will definitely not be easy to blow up.
Although he knew that the task was too arduous, Sakata was stunned for a day and did not dare to complain at all, and obediently took the order to go down to do things.
The power of the cannons in the Yejiapu army is not trivial, even if the red-coated cannons are placed in the ship, they cannot be compared with the cannons in the Yejiapu army.
Sakata has already learned this more than twice, but now he can't say it. Even if she said it, the princess would definitely not listen. Rather than being executed by the princess now, it is better to fight, at least there is a chance.
