(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )
Niujiaoyu is indeed like a long horn piercing into the sea, the widest place is less than 400 meters, and the narrow place is only about 100 meters. The fort installed on this Niujiaoyu Mountain can cover this large area of the harbor, but at the moment it has become the target of the Mawei navy. There were many eighteen-pound guns on the naval fleet, and the range far exceeded that of the pirates' twelve-pounder guns. Twelve third-class battleships combined with hundreds of heavy guns only two rounds of shelling, and this battery was completely scrapped.
Neiyu Tsai is also very simple, Neiyu Tsai is not as good as Niujiaoyu Mountain, it is just a small island with a length of 200 meters and a width of 100 meters, and it is also where the pirates moored the dock. After the end of the Niujiaoyu Fort, Neiyu Tsai also received the same treatment here. The naval gunners have trained to clear targets from such a fixed point of attack, and the shells have accurately landed on the target's head, with very little deviation. Although these forts were carefully built by the pirates and were unusually strong, hundreds of solid iron bullets of more than 9 and 10 kilograms were smashed down, and even the strongest forts collapsed.
"Pass my order, twelve warships enter the bay and bombard Dazhai!" After the two forts of Niujiaoyu Mountain and Neiyu Tsai were cleared, Wang Zhenbang gave the order to enter the harbor. There are also a few twelve-pounder cannons and a few tiger cannons on the pirate village, and there are also a lot of bowls. According to Geng Jingzhong's meaning, the navy soldiers are all treasures, and they can't be sent to death senselessly.
The range of the Navy's guns was one of their strengths, and using a large number of twelve-pound guns to clear targets was just a waste of more ammunition. When gunpowder and shells run out, more can be made at once, and it is not painful to use them, and it is very sad that the naval soldiers have lost one.
"The second master, is this still fighting? The artillery of the officers and soldiers is too powerful, and they can knock out the two forts in front of them from so far away, so our Dazhai is also within their range! "The second head of the sea shark did not play at the beginning, and was left in the village by the boss tiger shark to watch the house. He didn't see how powerful the artillery fire of the Red Army fleet was, and when he saw so many pirates fleeing back, he only thought that the officers and soldiers were too big to ship. At this moment, he saw the range of the official artillery with his own eyes, and his heart was also beating a drum, not knowing whether to surrender or keep defending.
The second master calmed down, swallowed his saliva and said: "Let the brothers go down first, leave the brothers on both sides on the watchtower, and when the official dog lands on the shore, we will follow up." ”
"Good! Brothers, go down, the official dog artillery is powerful, and we will come up again when they come ashore! "Many pirates on the wall of the wall didn't want to stay here for a long time, and with a coax, they all ran to the interior of the village, for fear that the shells would start to fall down at this time.
In fact, at this time, most of the pirates no longer had the heart to fight to the death, especially the thousands of people who had fled back before, and they were all frightened by the strength of the official army. To be precise, he was frightened by the sharp artillery of the officers and soldiers. They had never seen a pirate that could shoot so accurately, not even the Zheng family's sailors.
"Fire!" The twelve third-class battleships that entered the harbor adjusted their guns and began to fire their guns on Dazhai.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
In the rumbling artillery fire, hundreds of solid iron bullets fell on the wall of Dazhai. With just one round of shelling, the walls of the pirate fortress were smashed into bricks and stones. Solid shells bombarded the wall, and immediately smashed a large crater. Fortunately, the outer walls of this village are all made of stone, otherwise, a round of shells would have collapsed.
"Hurry up and reload, come again!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
Two rounds of artillery fire went down, and there was no reaction on the opposite wall, but a qiē on the big village was bombarded. Through the binoculars, the admiral could see that the artillery that had been placed at the head of the city had been smashed to pieces, the gun carriages were all shattered, and the walls had begun to crack in several places.
"Don't stop, keep loading! Hit the artillery fire, bombard the cracks in the south of the walled gate, and fight to collapse the city wall! Wang Zhenbang saw that the effect of the shelling was very obvious, and ordered again. The guns of the twelve battleships immediately adjusted their muzzles according to the order and aimed them at the cracks in the south of the walled gate.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
The third round of shells smashed on the city wall, and the city wall could no longer withstand this huge force, and the already cracked place in the south of Dazhai finally collapsed, and a gap of about ten meters appeared.
"Shizi, did the pirates run away from somewhere else? Why can't you see a single figure? Yang Jian also put down the binoculars and asked Geng Jingzhong suspiciously.
Geng Jingzhong was still observing the situation with a telescope, and said casually: "No, at this moment, the pirate ships are all here, and other places are not **, they just want to escape and have nowhere to go." I should have been afraid of our artillery fire and retreated to the city in advance. Look at it, Lao Wang should have ordered the landing! ”
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Wang Zhenbang, who had been commanding the overall situation not far away, issued another order. "Order the entire Marine Army to land and take the pirate village!"
The warships received the order, lowered their boats, and began to land with the marines. In the previous naval battle, the naval soldiers showed their might, and the artillery sank many pirate ships, which had already made the blood of the marines boiling, but they only stood on the deck at the last moment and fired a few shots, which was very unpleasant, and now it was finally their turn to show their skills. It was the first time for them to land and assault in a naval battle, and the marines were extremely excited from top to bottom, and according to their usual training, they quickly boarded a small boat and headed for Nanri Island. Especially He Kui, the official of the first battalion of thousands of households, was the first to board the ship, and the first boat to board the coast!
A kilometer away from the sea can be reached in a few minutes. The soldiers who landed first did not immediately march towards Dazhai, but waited until all the marines behind them had arrived before they moved together. The soldiers of the Marine Corps can be said to be familiar with attacking the wall, and last year's attack on the cottage by bandits has accumulated considerable experience for them. Now, although it is impossible for them to carry a lot of siege equipment on the ship, they still have basic large shields and other things.
Although the bandit village that was attacked before was not as good as the big village in front of him, which was comparable to the city wall, this village was already full of holes at the moment, and there was a huge gap in it, and there was no need to use a siege weapon. It was already a quarter of an hour after all the soldiers went ashore, and this time there were only two battalions with Geng Jingzhong to fight Nanri Island, totaling 2,000 people. After lining up the team, the attack on Dazhai officially began. The soldiers of the two battalions had a clear division of labor, some of them carried large shields to cover in front, and others followed behind.
Since the new musket was built, the entire Geng family army has also realized the importance of firearms. In the past, the bird guns were always blown up, and the soldiers did not dare to use them. When the whole army began to train marksmanship with the new muskets, most of the soldiers were still terrified. After getting acquainted with it, they fell in love with this epoch-making weapon. Pirates have been at sea all year round, and their knowledge of firearms is much earlier than that on land, and many of them use firearms, many of which are well-made firearms.
The soldiers did not dare to be careless, and carefully followed the soldiers carrying large shields, while also keeping a close eye on the front. If a pirate comes up, they will resolutely fight back. At the very back of the line, there were five small Furlong cannons, all made of copper, each weighing less than two hundred pounds. Of course, it is a little less powerful, but it can come in handy in land battles, and when it is critical, two or three soldiers can carry it away. It's very convenient.
Just as the soldiers were ashore, the pirate in charge of the lookout spotted it and immediately sent a signal to report it to the second owner of the sea shark inside.
"The second master, the official dog has come up, what should I do?" A lean-looking little leader asked nervously.
"Before they come up, take three hundred brethren and plug the gap in the south for me. Everyone else is on the wall with me! Bird gunners, archers prepare, and the official dog will hit me hard when he gets close! "The pirates immediately began to act,
The ten-meter-long gap is not meant to be plugged, and the pirates are carrying rocks and trying to make this section of the gap as high as possible. The second leader of the sea shark led the pirates to the city wall, and found that the city wall was also miserable, full of potholes. The dozen or so large and small guns that were originally placed on it are now mostly scrapped. Only a few twelve-pounder guns were still intact, but the gun carriage had completely shattered, and several of the guns had fallen far away.
"Hurry up and put these cannons up, don't need the gun carriage, just set up at the head of the city, and aim outside. Hurry up! "The second master also knows that this artillery is the real weapon for defending the city, and the artillery that can still be used will be reset as much as possible, and it will play as much of a role as it can play! These two or three thousand pounds of artillery were lying on the ground, and it was really not an ordinary effort to lift them. Fortunately, the barrel was round, and the pirates rolled it to the wall, and then with the help of the others, they raised the muzzle of the cannon towards the open space in front of the gate.
All the pirates' movements fell into the eyes of the marines, and when they saw the guns reappear by the walls, the marines, who had just begun to advance cautiously, quickly changed their tactics. "The pirates still have artillery, charge me while they are still unloaded!"
The gate was only 150 or 60 meters away from the pier, and the soldiers advanced quickly, and the distance was half as close as it took a few seconds. "The 1st Battalion stops, aims at the gunners at the wall, and fires freely!" At this time, the figure on the wall was already clearly visible, and He Kui immediately issued an order.
This distance is similar to that of soldiers in their usual training, and 60-meter, 80-meter, and 100-meter targets are the most common training.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Ahh
"Ahh
As the gunshots rang out, the pirates standing on the wall also let out a scream. The gunners next to the guns that were in the spotlight were unlucky, and immediately after the gunfire rang out, they all fell. After the two pirates who were reloading in front of the muzzle were hit, they also fell straight off the wall.
