Chapter 903: Sailor's Wharf

Just when the front of the imperial court was strictly guarding against the attacking troops of the three armies of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and tens of thousands of guerrillas of the Tiger and Leopard Army were besieged behind them.

The 30,000 officers and men of the First Army have already boarded more than 100 warships assembled by the navy, cleaved the waves, and sailed mightily to the coast south of the Yangtze River.

As a landlubber who can't water, from the moment he boarded the warship, Wang Feng, the commander of the First Army, was not in a good mood.

Finally, after two days of adaptation, I ate something. The arrival of a storm once again gave him the feeling of the original when he first got on the ship. I just ate what I had just eaten in my stomach, and I vomited it all out without accident.

When the wind and waves at sea finally subsided, and the ship did not shake so much.

Wang Feng, whose face was pale because of continuous vomiting, directly found the commander-in-chief of the sailor division and asked with a worried face: "Commander Wang, how long is it until we get to the landing site, brother, I haven't eaten a grain of rice in the past two days, and if we go on like this, even if we get to the landing site, it will take a long time to recover our combat effectiveness......"

After a trace of embarrassment quickly flashed on his face, the commander-in-chief of the naval division standing in front of Wang Feng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Commander Wang, the fleet has just passed the mouth of the Yangtze River, and we can arrive at the landing site at the latest three hours, that is, tonight......"

"Three hours...... Great, you can finally land......" After breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Feng's pale face finally squeezed out a heartfelt smile.

More than a hundred warships, along the coastline, approached the landing point even later.

In a dense forest less than ten miles away from the landing site, 3,000 guerrillas of the Haw Par Army armed with various weapons were lurking here. Wait quietly for the night to fall.

Half a year ago. This guerrilla captain Xiang Hu. He was only a company commander in the Haw Par Army.

After half a year of development, the total strength of the guerrillas has changed from 10 to 3,000 today.

As long as nothing happens, when he returns to the Haw Par Army, his military rank will be directly changed from captain to colonel, and Yiyue will become the leader of the Haw Par Army.

At this moment, he is taking all the soldiers of the guerrillas who can take a shot, in the shortest possible time. Take the ferry in front of you.

Because, only with a ferry, can the huge warships of the naval division dock, and the heavy artillery equipped by the first army can successfully land on the shore.

And a dock that can allow large warships to dock must not be a small dock.

The dock in front of us, which was about to be attacked by the guerrillas, was no exception.

As a station of the original Fujian Navy Division of the imperial court, there is absolutely no problem with docking the sailor warships equipped by the Tiger and Par Army.

So, when choosing a landing site. This sailor station directly became Wang Feng's first choice.

However, as the residence of the Fujian Navy Division of the imperial court. Even when the imperial navy could not compete with the tiger and leopard army's naval division, a large number of troops were still stationed.

In particular, the artillery, in order to prevent the Haw Par Army Naval Division from directly attacking the dock, the new red-coated cannons built by the imperial court at the beginning of the time spent a lot of money on the warships, because they could not be used on the warships, are now all placed on the batteries of several stations of the imperial naval divisions to act as shore defense batteries.

And this is also the specific reason why the Haw Par Army Navy Division did not take advantage of the situation to take the residence of the Imperial Court Navy Division and completely control the coastal area south of the Yangtze River after the Haw Par Army Navy Division beat the Imperial Court Navy Division into a shrunken turtle.

After all, those redcoat cannons with thickened and lengthened barrels have surpassed the naval guns equipped on the ships of the Haw Par Army's naval divisions in terms of effective range.

However, this is no longer the case.

Although the naval guns equipped on the ships of the Haw Par Army's naval division have not changed, they are no match for the imperial shore defense guns.

However, after half a year of development, the Haw Par Army guerrillas operating around the Sailor Wharf have been able to defeat him.

Although the shore anti-aircraft guns were very powerful, none of these guns were exceptional, and all of them pointed their guns at the sea, making it impossible to strike at the rear of the pier. Otherwise, these shore artillery guns alone would have been enough for the guerrillas of 3,000 men to suffer heavy losses and lose their combat effectiveness before they could get close to the wharf.

After all, the guerrillas were not the main force of the Haw Par Army, and they were not equipped with artillery on a large scale like the main force of the Haw Par Army.

The Tiger and Par Army guerrillas in front of him, with a size of more than 3,000 people, would have been if it weren't for the fact that they had successfully ambushed a new army of 1,000 people a few months ago. In the whole partisan detachment, the muskets were perhaps less than five hundred skilled.

Today, of course, this partisan detachment has more than 1,200 musketeers.

Coupled with the captain's more than three months of musket training, it is already completely possible to use the musket array to suppress the musketeers in the imperial navy division in a short period of time......

As long as there are more than 1,000 musketeers under his command, all the attention and troops of the imperial court sailors will be attracted to it.

The remaining 1,000 shieldmen and pikemen of the guerrillas could quickly approach the docks, rush into them, and engage in close combat with the musketeers of the imperial navy, who were armed with muskets......

Xiang Hu is confident, and he is not good at fighting, and even has never trained the musketeers of the imperial court to fight with pit weapons, even if his own strength is not comparable to the other party, the final victory will still belong to him.

Under the anxious waiting of the 3,000 guerrilla soldiers, the dock of Nuoda was finally shrouded in night.

As piles of bonfires rise on the pier, the pier is re-lit. Xiang Hu's serious and anxious face finally flashed a smile.

Facing the subordinates who were already waiting a little impatiently beside him, he ordered decisively......

"Get moving, head to the dock ......"

Ten miles is a blink of an eye for a fast-marching guerrilla force.

As the partisans were still three hundred paces from the pier because they were carrying torches, the piercing sirens began to sound at the pier.

Afterwards, a group of musketeers rushed out of the pier and formed a series of muskets around the pier, and at least 2,000 musketeers stood in front of the guerrillas at a glance.

Faced with this situation, Xiang Hu not only did not show any worry or nervous expression on his face. Instead, he took a stimulant and commanded: "The musketeers continue to move forward, and when they get closer, shoot at them with muskets...... Some of our muskets are new, and the casualties of those who shoot them will be far more than ours......"

"The sword and shield hand, the long one is in demand, and immediately disperse for concealment...... After the gunshots rang out, they quickly approached the pier, rushed in, and occupied the dock, surpassing the back of the Imperial Sailor Musketeers......"

"Get Started......

Because of the importance attached to military discipline by the Haw Par Army, more than 1,000 musketeers were able to enforce orders and bans even though they had only been trained for a few months.

In this regard, the imperial court sailors who have not been trained for a long time cannot meet this requirement. (To be continued......)
