Chapter 81: The Landing Battle (I)

Originally, when the craftsmen had just received the task, they thought that the officials and masters of the sailor were going to do it to show off their might in the barracks. There is still a little vague grumbling in my heart. However, when he heard that it was the order of Lord Ryujin himself, he immediately became extremely excited, and he wanted to bow down in the direction of the camp where the dragon god was located......

Lord Ryujin said that if he wanted such armor, it would naturally have its own use! Can mortals understand the affairs of immortals?

It is said that after this whole steel armor is built, it also needs to be carried by a sturdy base and backrest.

On top of that, this steel armor that I don't know what kind of person can wear is also required to be equipped with other heavy weapons!

There is a giant steel knife with a blade one foot wide and one foot long; There is a steel whip as thick as a baby's arm—consisting of a large number of fine wires tightly twisted together and squeezed; There are two long, narrow and sharp swords used in pairs, with serrations on one side and blades on the other......

Originally, there were other similar maces, meteor hammers, enlarged green dragon glaives, giant spears, and so on. However, the craftsmen reported that they couldn't finish it even without eating, so the enlightened Ryujin-sama naturally instructed them to forget about it, and to make steel swords, long whips, and swords first. The rest can be postponed, no matter what kind of food you have, you still have to eat, otherwise the dragon god will also be uneasy.

So the craftsmen were once again moved by the dragon god's kindness and love for the people, and the power of the incense made Zhao Wushuang who was lying in the dragon god's tent crooked.

Obviously, this behemoth and hideous steel giant armor was created by Zhao Wushuang for his "divine body!!

He became extremely excited when he learned from Xiaohua that she had given birth to forty of those strong humanoid puppet bodies over the course of hundreds of years. Naming this thing "Divine Body" allows the high dragon god to appear in human form when he descends to the mortal world.

And the Battle of Humen will be the first appearance of this kind of divine body!

In terms of time, it is almost the same time that the armor and accompanying weapons are completed.

Zhao Wushuang thought that as long as the steel giant armor named "Steel Jiao" by himself was successfully built, he would immediately give up his body and put it on, and go straight to the Humen battlefield. Have a hearty meat, fight, blood, and battle with the British. Really feel the battlefield......

On the eighth day of January in the twenty-first year of Daoguang, the mouth of the Pearl River. A fierce naval battle is underway!

The British dispatched all their warships and threw all their forces in the Canton area to participate in the battle. Naturally, the Humen garrison also sent all their ships to fight with Xiyi head-on on the sea at the mouth of the Pearl River.

Boom Boom! The sound of artillery shook the sky.

In the corner of the battlefield on the sea, the British steel battleship spewed out tongues of fire, and the whistling cannonballs tore the wooden warship in front to pieces, and suddenly the fire was blazing and the smoke was billowing out. I don't know how many Chinese soldiers died......

But fortunately, not far away, two more naval warships were flanked and sank a British fifth-class battleship. The tooth-aching crunch of the steel mechanism breaking in the shelling was audible even in the middle of the battlefield, and finally sank into the icy waters with the screams of a group of Britons......

Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the sea area of the Pearl River estuary. It was as if it had turned into a murderous hell, and the artillery fire seemed to set the entire sea on fire.

The already scarred Xiong Li still rushed to the front line of the naval battle. He stood on the deck of a warship that had broken through the British fire blockade and came close, vigilant like a cheetah about to pounce, ready to wait until the two ships were almost close to each other before taking the lead in the broadside battle!

It's close, it's close!

The two ships approached, and the two sides first exchanged muskets on the deck, and although the British had the advantage, they were also broken through by the Humen garrison. Many of the sailors had already jumped over the side of the British warship and jumped onto the deck of the opposing side.

The bear force roared even more, jumped over with a bang, and waved the big knife in his hand. The head of one of the nearest British soldiers flew into the air, with a splatter of blood; The soldier's eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe he was in a different place.

"Brothers, kill! Kill all the ghosts of Xiyi, the dragon god is on top, and he will protect me and others! Xiong Li raised his big knife and roared, his head covered with blood, it was really like a demon from hell. This brave momentum shocked the nearby British troops, and many Humen garrisons took advantage of the situation to go to the deck......

The British army and the Humen garrison are all fighting real fire, and the battle situation is even more tragic than yesterday!

But no matter how strong the cohesion of the Dragon God Sect was, how well prepared they were, and how much the soldiers forgot to die. The gap in strength is the gap in strength, and the British Navy, which is working hard and earnestly, still shows the strength of their current world's number one power.

In the afternoon, they had already broken through the sea defenses at the mouth of the Pearl River and began to land on the Dajiao and Shajiao forts respectively.

A landing battle even more tragic than a naval battle has begun!

In the current era of the middle of the nineteenth century, naval warfare can still use large weapons and equipment such as warships, but this kind of landing warfare in complex mountainous terrain. The basics are still very primitive.

And primitive means fierce, it means tragic, it means the flying of blood and flesh.

The moment the feet of the British soldiers set foot on the shore, it meant that the land would be stained red with blood – red by the blood of both the invaders and the resisters!

Naturally, the huge warships could not dock, so the British rowed to the shore in small boats. When they reached the shallow water, they jumped out of the boat with a shout, and rushed forward with their spears with sharp bayonets at their tips. The boots carried up the mud and sand in the shallows, stirring the clear waters into a muddy state.

The musket team of the Humen garrison had already stood in three rows not far from the shore and raised the muskets in their hands - the range of muskets in this era was very close, and they had to wait until a certain distance before they could be fired.

The British, who had rushed to land on the beach, had already run over while shooting, and the Humen garrison had finally made a move.

"First row, shoot! The second and third rows are ready! "The leader of the squad gave the order. So the soldiers in the first row picked up their guns and opened fire violently, and the projectiles in the chamber of the guns shot out.

This is the famous "three-stage shooting method" - the most efficient way to use firearms in an age when the reloading of muskets was very time-consuming!

According to historical records, this three-stage musket shooting method was first used by Mu Ying, a general who pacified Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was used against (in fact, mainly to intimidate) the rebel army of elephants, tigers and leopards and other beast troops.
