At this time, the thousands of pirates under Li Kui's command shouted at the shallows in the direction of Jinshanwei, and jumped up brandishing knives and guns.

These pirates were all excited, thinking that they were going to make a windfall, and their morale was extremely high.

"This Songjiang Mansion is indeed more lively than ever, so many ships, so many warehouses, so many shops, brothers, we have made a fortune!"

Li Kui himself shouted.

"Get rich!"

The rest of the pirates echoed, their faces fierce, and even some Japanese ronins shouted in their big pants.

The pirates on Hua Gu'er's side were also so excited, desperately paddling to reach the shore of Songjiang Mansion as soon as possible.

The pirates sent by Hua Gu'er to plunder were already standing on the deck, ready to jump directly into the sea later, and then go ashore to plunder.

"Grandma's, I haven't played with a woman in a long time, I have to have a good time with him today!"

"I heard that there are a lot of famous prostitutes from Qinhuai River in Songjiang Mansion, all of them are stunning, even if the son of a wealthy family is bankrupt, he can only kiss him, and today grandpa will give her a hard bow!"

These pirates are babbling foul language.

And Hua Gu'er also laughed: "It's okay to rob money and kill women, but brothers, don't forget that we are businessmen, since Futai has let us mess up Songjiang Mansion, we have to take money to do things, and Liu Dajia will go to the oil room first, and burn these warehouses and shops to me later!" ”

……

At this time, on the shore of Jinshanwei, the artillery battalion led by Yan Yingyuan had set up 300 batteries on the shore of Jinshanwei, and at the front was 100 giant guns of 20 catties.

It is the top heavy gun in the latest Chongzhen 19 infantry cannon developed by the Ming Dynasty, which is mainly used for maritime defense.

And between the twenty-pound cannon are the sixteen-pound and twelve-pound Chongzhen nineteen-type infantry heavy field artillery.

There are even six and three catties of Chongzhen 19 infantry medium and light field guns responsible for mobile artillery strikes.

These cannons are the latest artillery of the Ming Dynasty, which is similar to the Napoleonic artillery in later history, but the Han man-made cannons of the Ming Dynasty are not only imitation of nature but also to be improved.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Daming Ordnance Institute, the Iron and Steel Smelting Bureau was placed in the most important position, so that the steel smelting technology of Daming has maintained rapid development.

Even today's artillery barrels are not just bronze barrels like Napoleon's guns, but pure alloy steel barrels, which meet both the hardness needs of the barrel and the needs of low density and weight.

But the cost of this alloy steel cannon barrel is naturally expensive, fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has strong national strength, and Songjiang Mansion is a strategic place in the Ming Dynasty today, so naturally there is no need to be stingy with national strength.

There are more than a dozen people serving one artillery, and at this time, on the battery position of Jinshanwei, all the artillery soldiers of each gun are in place.

When the pirate's ship came into view, the rangefinder immediately reported the enemy's position and bearing, and the gunners began to pull the bearings and twist gears to change the gun's elevation angle and muzzle position.

Immediately afterward, one of the fighters began to hold the stabbing rod horizontally, stabbing the end of the wrapped cloth into the barrel of the cannon.

All this was carried out under the command of the artillery captain.

After the gunpowder was compacted, the two fighters in charge of firing were already approaching the barrel of the gun, while the soldier in charge of the communication raised the flag.

As soon as the commander of the artillery battalion responded to the command, the artillery captain immediately gave the order to fire the artillery.

In an instant, hundreds of shells whizzed away.

Li Kui's pirate warships were directly exploded in a moment, and some were directly overturned.

Even the pirate leader Li Kui himself was shocked to the point that his ears were buzzing.

"Damn, didn't you say that Jin Shanwei has no officers and soldiers, how could there be such a fierce artillery fire!"

Li Kui had no choice but to order the ships to retreat, and at the same time ordered the 300 pirates who had changed to small boats and were about to go ashore to deal with the artillery on the shore first.

In Li Kui's view, according to his experience of the Ming Dynasty's official army, he believes that although the Ming Dynasty's official army has fierce artillery, most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they can only flee for their lives when they see these fierce pirates.

Not only Li Kui thought so, but also the three hundred pirates who had already landed at this time, and they had all thrown away the boat and jumped down at this time, rushing over with a roar.

However, at this time, the sixteen-pound cannon had begun to exert its might, and the cannonballs overturned directly, stirring up waves one foot high on the sea, and the three hundred pirates were also blown up.

After a burst of gunpowder smoke cleared with the sea breeze, hundreds of corpses were floating on the sea.

The rest of the surviving pirates hurried back.

"Kill!"

At that time, after the artillery attack, the infantry of the Guards had already rushed over, running on the sea with Chongzhen 19 or Chongzhen 17 muskets, or directly pursuing them on centipede boats.

Crackling gunfire rang out over the azure sea.

Thick white smoke bloomed on the surface of the sea, and under this white smoke, pirates fell to death in the sea, along with the fish and shrimp that were unfortunately hit by cannonballs.

The more than 300 pirates who attempted to land on the beach were the most courageous pirates under Li Kui's command, many of whom were Oriental pirates, and even his own nephews were the leaders.

But at this time, all these pirates were annihilated, and Li Kui did not dare to linger any longer, and after seeing that no less than 6,000 officers and soldiers had appeared on the beach, he could only hurriedly turn the warship and prepare to flee from here.

The same scene was played out around the time of the Aomura Middle School.

Watching his pirate brothers being hunted on the surface of the sea like chasing prey, and the few large Western soft sailing ships that he had worked so hard to buy were also floating on the surface of the sea as broken planks at this time.

Hua Gu'er was directly dumbfounded at this time, and he was also very angry, he didn't expect that there would be a heavy gathering of officers and soldiers here, and the density of artillery fire could completely crush him.

But what he didn't expect was that the fact that the information provided to him by those big families in Jiangnan was actually like this.

"Bastard! What message are they offering! In the past, the officers and soldiers saw the pirate landing and only knew how to abandon their armor and flee, and these officers and soldiers looked like elite soldiers who had fought several times on the battlefield. ”

The roots of his teeth were clenched, but he could only order the evacuation of the sea area of Songjiang Mansion now.

……

A few days ago.

The Guards Navy of Baoshan Station has all assembled and set off.

The entire Ming Navy is organized into three parts: boat division, amphibious troops, and honor guard, and is divided into three detachments: forward battalion, middle battalion, and rear battalion.

Among them, the boat division is the warship formation, which is personally commanded by Gu Sanmazi, vice minister of the Admiralty, as the main force.

At this time, Gu San Mazi stood on a fortune ship, leading the main large warship and hundreds of small cangboats, centipede ships and other small warships to form a middle battalion, chopping waves towards Jinshanwei.

The amphibious force, on the other hand, was a landing force that was good at land warfare and close combat at sea, and at this time it had all been concentrated on more than 40 large grain carriers to form a rear battalion, which was personally commanded by Liu Kongzhao, chief of the Chengyi Bo Admiralty.

More than 20 soft sailing ships because of their fast speed and the advantage of artillery strikes, so except for the ten led by Cai Zheng, a general under the command of the Zheng Group, who were responsible for guarding the amphibious troops, that is, the rear battalion, the rest were all undertaking the task of vanguarding, led by Zheng Chenggong himself, walking in the forefront of the entire Ming Navy, forming a forward battalion.
